Authors: Sandoval Chunga Maria Carmen
Published: January 2023

En el presente artículo de revisión se analiza la labor que el docente realiza durante el proceso de la evaluación formativa para la consecución de buenos resultados en el aprendizaje de sus estudiantes, para ello se ha formulado la interrogante ¿Cómo influye la evaluación formativa en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes?, y se ha propuesto el objetivo general determinar el impacto de la evaluación formativa en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Para este análisis se ha recopilado información a nivel local, nacional e internacional, por lo que se puede afirmar que los docentes del nivel primaria aún no logran comprender el cómo evaluar formativamente a sus estudiantes, siendo un proceso elemental la retroalimentación la misma que debe ser reflexiva o por descubrimiento para la consecución de los aprendizajes esperados. Se concluye que muchos de los docentes no vienen trabajando de manera adecuada la evaluación formativa en los estudiantes porque no tienen un profundo conocimiento sobre el tema en cuestión, además no se está logrando en ellos la autonomía para que él mismo reflexione de su propio proceso de aprendizaje.

Debilidad neuromuscular aguda, aproximación diagnóstica y terapéutica de un complejo cuadro clínico de etiología variable
Authors: Theran león Juan Sebastián , Dulcey Sarmiento Luis Andrés , Cala Acelas María Alejandra , Nariño Anaya Stephania Julieth , Duran Anaya Juan Pablo
Published: January 2023

La parálisis neuromuscular aguda (PNMA, por sus siglas en inglés) es um síndrome clínico caracterizado por una debilidad muscular de aparición rápida que progresa hasta su máxima gravedad en varios días o semanas (menos de 4 semanas). La debilidad de los músculos bulbares y respiratorios puede estar presente o no. Es una emergencia neurológica común que requiere investigaciones inmediatas y cuidadosas para determinar la etiología porque um diagnóstico preciso tiene un impacto significativo en la terapia y el pronóstico. La insuficiencia respiratoria causada por debilidad neuromuscular se considera más crítica que la enfermedad pulmonar porque su desarrollo puede ser insidioso o sutil hasta que la descompensación repentina conduce a una hipoxia potencialmente mortal. Además, el hallazgo de gases en sangre arterial de hipoxemia grave, hipercapnia y acidosis puede no ser evidente hasta que la insuficiencia respiratoria es profunda. Por eso, el requisito de assistência respiratoria también debe investigarse de manera intensiva y rápida en todos los pacientes con enfermedad neuromuscular.

El trastorno se clasifica según el sitio del defecto en la vía de la unidad motora, es decir, células del asta anterior, raíz nerviosa, nervio periférico, unión neuromuscular o músculo. La identificación de la causa se basa principalmente en una buena historia clínica y un examen clínico detallado complementado con investigaciones neurofisiológicas y, a veces, algunas pruebas de laboratorio específicas. El historial médico y el examen neurológico deben centrarse en el inicio, la progresión, el patrón y la gravedad de la debilidad muscular, así como en las pruebas de los nervios craneales y las pruebas de disfunción autonómica. También deben tenerse en cuenta las características no neurológicas asociadas, como fiebre, erupción cutánea u otras lesiones cutáneas, etc. A nivel mundial, el síndrome de Guillain-Barré es la causa más frecuente de PNMA y representa la mayoría de los casos de debilidad de los músculos respiratorios asociados con trastornos neuromusculares.

Didáctica y pedagogía en la complejidad de la postmodernidad: una visión psicoeducativa a la realidad como fuente reflexiva para el profesorado en la práctica docente
Authors: Lobo Flores Trino Fernando
Published: January 2023

La pandemia ha dejado al descubierto la profunda desigualdad de nuestras sociedades. Un virus imperceptible al ojo humano fue capaz de transformar la vida de millones de personas y las economías del planeta. Comenzaron a ocurrir cosas que parecían impensadas en ese capitalismo solidificado que existía antes del surgimiento del COVID-19.  La pandemia puso al descubierto la desigualdad entre un mundo central opulento y un mundo pobre absolutamente marginado en los centros de educación pública.

En este contexto, quienes pertenecemos al campo progresista enfrentamos el desafío de preservar los valores que queremos para nuestro tiempo, para las sociedades en que vivimos, pero nunca dejando nuestra principal batalla por la formación académica de nuestras y nuestros soberanos.

Desde esta visión la formación de nuestras y nuestros soberanos es que la pedagogía y la didáctica se consolidan en un proceso fundamental para la educación, pues la pedagogía responde desde la ciencia a la pregunta de ¿Cómo educar? Y la didáctica nos responde la interrogante del ¿Cómo enseñar?  Entonces si las unimos tendremos la respuesta del por qué y el para qué de la enseñanza.

Así mismo no podremos desconocer que existe cada día un mayor interés por los temas de la educación ciertamente cada vez más necesarios y dentro de lo posible mucho más reales frente las ciencias de la complejidad. Por consiguiente, el primer objetivo de este articulo consiste en brindar una visión psicoeducativa entre la didáctica, pedagogía como fuente reflexiva para la práctica docente en la complejidad de la postmodernidad.

Para lo cual se crea un elemento sobre la cuestión, la materialidad que de define el contexto de las ciencias sociales del no equilibrio, el caos y la anormalidad como partes de la hoy no existente normalidad como verdad universal.

PROVERBS: THE CARRIERS OF ANCIENT WISDOM WITH TIMELESS PERTINENCE
Authors: Satyan Urmi
Published: January 2023

The premise of proverb and its rich proliferation is vast. It ranges from social, traditional, cultural, political, geographical to economic sectors of human life and presents an opulent spectrum of various knowledge-packed truisms. Its wider span sees no boundaries of form, construction, grammar or any technical formula. Its structure, composition, creativity and capacity is rooted in the age old traditional way of substantiating a fact based content. Proverbs present the content more conversationally skilled. With a traditional and colloquial fragrance and cultural association proverbs are prospectively rich, inherently wisdom rich and assertively contextual in reference. With adoration for proverbs that have tiny construction and a huge scope for interpretation, this paper studies a few African proverbs that literally augment the linguistic beauty with metaphorical, allegorical and analogical expressions.
This paper studies how proverbs cover all the sectors of human life and convey the proposed idea poignantly and accurately.
INDIAN POLITICAL ARENA: CASTE AND RELIGION BASED SEGMENTATION
Authors: Sharma Ruchi
Published: January 2023

Political factors or conditions are dependent upon sociological variables. In India among sociological variables caste and religion play important role in politics. The caste system as well as religion determines the political structure of the Indian society. The social position of an individual determines his/her status in the society and this status divides the society in the categories of equality and inequality. This discrimination based on equality and inequality has existed since long time. In all types of human society, there are inequalities between individuals, men and women, the young and the old. To describe inequalities the sociologists speak of the existence of social stratification which can be defined as structured inequalities between different groupings of people based on class, caste, gender ,religion, etc. The present paper analyzes the influence of caste and religion in politics. The research paper highlights the adverse impact on social cohesion due to caste and religion driven politics in Indian society. The suggestions are also made in the research paper to overcome the barriers of caste and religion by promoting equal social rights and justice for the development of an integrated and cohesive society.

Authors: Direito Denise do Carmo , Koga Natália Massaco , Licio Elaine Cristina
Published: January 2023

Este estudo buscou traçar a cadeia de relações entre fatores contextuais e capacidades instituídas de forma a compreender o processo de transformações que impactaram o Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais (Cadastro Único) desde sua criação, em 2001. Foram identificados movimentos de expansão e retração desse instrumento, mapeando as mobilizações e desmobilizações de capacidades estatais que produzem, reproduzem, estabilizam e desestabilizam legados advindos das mudanças políticos-institucionais. A análise permitiu reconstituir a trajetória do Cadastro Único em quatro grandes períodos de mudanças (policy changes), a saber: o mais breve, de 2001 a 2002, reflete a sua criação; o período 2003-2015 traz a sua expansão, consolidação e qualificação dos dados cadastrais; o período 2016-2018 retrata a crise do financiamento e mudança no foco da gestão; o quarto período está relacionado à crise advinda da pandemia da covid-19 e ainda está em aberto. A pesquisa revelou que o Cadastro Único passou por diferentes movimentos de expansão até 2016, quando tendências de retração e desmobilização ou, ainda, de redirecionamento de capacidades passaram a ser identificadas, em especial no que se refere ao seu papel de integração interfederativa e intersetorial. Desde 2019, se vislumbram possibilidades de desmonte, diante de um cenário de incertezas e crescente demanda por proteção social.
TD 2831 - Cooperação interfederativa : aspectos limitantes à efetividade dos consórcios públicos
Authors: Henrichs Joanni Aparecida
Published: January 2023

Os desafios impostos a partir do desenho peculiar da Federação brasileira não são triviais. A dinâmica de repartição de competências e recursos financeiros vigente expõe a necessidade de remodelagem e afinamento das relações intergovernamentais por meio de processos de coordenação e cooperação a fim de minimizar as assimetrias. É neste contexto que os consórcios públicos vêm se sobressaindo no cenário federativo, diante da possibilidade de responder a determinadas competências a partir do ganho de escala, aprimoramento técnico e racionalização do gasto público. Embora tenham sido formalizadas diversas entidades desse gênero no país, remanesce a percepção de que os resultados obtidos por esses arranjos ainda são incipientes. Assim, o objetivo do estudo é diagnosticar quais as limitações existentes na implementação de iniciativas associativas entre os entes federados por meio de consórcios públicos, a fim de propor recomendações para aprimorar os laços cooperativos em prol de resultados mais efetivos às demandas de interesse público. A partir da pesquisa junto a múltiplos atores políticos e institucionais situados em variados níveis, foram identificados dezenove problemas, que se relacionam com os aspectos político-institucional, financiamento e técnico-operacional.

Distribution patterns of established alien land snail species in the Western Palaearctic Region
Authors: Hausdorf Bernhard
Published: January 2023

Established alien land snail species that were introduced into the Western Palaearctic Region from other regions and their spread in the Western Palaearctic are reviewed. Thirteen of the 22 species came from North America, three from Sub-Saharan Africa, two from the Australian region, three probably from the Oriental Region and one from South America. The establishment of outdoor populations of these species was usually first seen at the western or southern rims of the Western Palearctic. Within Europe, the alien species usually spread from south to north and from west to east. The latitudinal ranges of the alien species significantly increased with increasing time since the first record of introduction to the Western Palearctic. The latitudinal mid-points of the Western Palaearctic and native ranges of the species are significantly correlated when one outlier is omitted. There is a general trend of poleward shifts of the ranges of the species in the Western Palaearctic compared to their native ranges. There are three reasons for these shifts: (1) the northward expansion of some species in Western Europe facilitated by the oceanic climate, (2) the impediment to the colonisation of southern latitudes in the Western Palaearctic due to their aridity and (3) the establishment of tropical species in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Most of the species are small, not carnivorous and unlikely to cause serious ecological or economic damage. In contrast, the recently introduced large veronicellid slugs from Sub-Saharan Africa and the giant African snail Lissachatina fulica could cause economic damage in irrigated agricultural areas or greenhouses in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

A fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin method for variable-order fourth-order equation with Caputo-Fabrizio derivative based on generalized numerical fluxes
Authors: Xiao Liuchao , Li Wenbo , Wei Leilei , Zhang Xindong
Published: January 2023

In this paper, an effective numerical method for the variable-order(VO) fourth-order problem with Caputo-Fabrizio derivative will be constructed and analyzed. Based on generalized alternating numerical flux, appropriate spatial and temporal discretization, we get a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin(LDG) scheme. The theoretic properties of the fully discrete LDG scheme are proved in detail by mathematical induction, and the method is proved to be unconditionally stable and convergent with $ {\rm O}(\tau+{h^{k+1}}) $, where $ h $ is the spatial step, $ \tau $ is the temporal step and $ k $ is the degree of the piecewise $ P^k $ polynomial. In order to show the efficiency of our method, some numerical examples are carried out by Matlab.
Additive valuations of streams of payoffs that satisfy the time value of money principle: A characterization and robust optimization
Authors: Neyman Abraham
Published: January 2023

This paper characterizes those preferences over bounded infinite utility streams that satisfy the time value of money principle and an additivity property, and the subset of these preferences that, in addition, are either impatient or patient. Based on this characterization, the paper introduces a concept of optimization that is robust to a small imprecision in the specification of the preference, and proves that the set of feasible streams of payoffs of a finite Markov decision process admits such a robust optimization.
Intentional Global Education
Authors: Benjamin Gentry Denise
Published: January 2023

Due to the increase in globalization, graduate intercultural communication studies have become an important topic of scholarly pursuit. Although academics study intercultural communications both in Western and Non-Western cultures, most studies reflect a Western Eurocentric perspective, even in Non-Western cultures. As such, questions arise: (1) What is Non-Western communication? (2) How does it differ from Western communication, i.e., collectivistic or individualistic, universal, etc.? In an effort to address these questions, this chapter: (1) discusses the definition of Eurocentrism and its effect on international communication studies in Non-Western cultures; (2) explores Asiacentricity and Chinese communication in Non-Western communication; (3) examines the differences between the West's individualistic culture and Asia's collectivistic culture; and (4) provides an example of collectivism through an example of 'guanxi' in the Chinese culture.
African American Cultural Values Parallel Contemporary American Values in Graduate School Administration
Authors: Fuller Frank Robert , Smith II Howard C.
Published: January 2023

Throughout modern history, there have been attempts to divide communities in the US between groups as to point at and blame others. Worse still, some groups have preference towards contemporary American cultural values preferred over the values that represent minority populations. The status quo was to translate American contemporary cultural values as being white, angelo-saxon Protestant (WASP), primarily patriarchal populations or images as ideally preferred over those counter to this narrative, especially among minority groups. One can question whether contemporary American cultural values, for higher education, were any different within African American communities. We might appreciate the diversity of values and cultural influences a true American identity and diversity of opinions brings to being a stronger nation overall. African American cultural values towards education parallel contemporary values.
Effective Leadership Practices Transform Graduate Education
Authors: El-Amin Abeni
Published: January 2023

Educational leadership requires more than designing a plan of action and persuading others to adopt the vision. Educational leadership is about encouraging others to be a part of the solutions that persist in innovative ways. Utilizing feedback communication with stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, administrators, community, policy makers) improves initiatives and legal compliance implementation, which is a value-added to organizational excellence. Principled leadership fosters transparency in daily interactions. Educational leadership requires that one consistently communicates the vision to those above and below. Educational leadership must be diligent in both stating visions clearly and following up with written documentation. Evaluation allows others the capability to follow through with graduate programming vision. Working collaboratively with other leaders includes collaborating in the envisioning process. In this way, others feel connected to the process and the solution.

Authors: Di Matteo Roberta , Bolgeo Tatiana , Gatti Denise , Gardalini Menada , Cassinari Antonella , Maconi Antonio
Published: January 2023

Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome has been found in patients admitted to a hospital with severe conditions of COVID-19 and in adults who initially presented a mild illness. The aim is to underline the available literature on post-COVID-19 follow-up until 12 months about symptoms reported by adults infected with Sars-Cov-2 from at least 12 weeks after disease onset.
Methods: The bibliographic search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, CINHAL, Scopus and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Studies.
Results: We found that 68% of patients had at least one symptom post-COVID-19 after 12 weeks and up to 24 weeks post-onset. The most frequent symptoms were fatigue and muscle weakness (26%), dizziness and mental clouding (15%) and taste disturbances (10%).
Conclusions: Health policy needs to prepare for a long-term management plan to address COVID-19, as there are significant needs beyond recovery from the acute infection.

Authors: Abdullahi Abdurrazzaq Ibrahim , Auta Jehu , Abdullahi Shuaibu Akpai , Bolorunduro Paul Ibukun-Olu , Onimisi Hassan Umaru
Published: January 2023

This study evaluated the effect of replacing Glycine max with processed Lemna paucicostata on haematological parameters and enzyme activity of Oreochromis niloticus. The processing methods employed were blanching and sun-drying. Nine diets (D1-D9) were formulated using the least cost feed formulation software. Soybean meal was replaced by blanched and sun-dried L. paucicostata at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% each. 27 nets measuring 1m2 each were used in outdoor concrete ponds of 5m x 3.5m (l × b) and depth of 1.5m each. Ten fingerlings of O. niloticus were stocked per Hapa and fed three times daily at 5% body weight. The fish fed 75% blanched L. paucicostata obtained the best concentration of the packed cell volume (32.01%) in the blood while a poor concentration of 27.01% was observed in the fish fed 100% blanched L. paucicostata. The fish fed 75% blanched L. paucicostata and 50% blanched L. paucicostata gave higher total enzyme activities of 4,675.13(TU) and 4,648.06(TU), respectively. While the fish fed 100% blanched L. paucicostata gave the lowest value of 3,558.33(TU). The digestive enzyme activities were observed to be the main factors that helped the experimental fish to digest the blanched and sun-dried Lemna paucicostata efficiently.

An uncharacterized protein from Lindgomyces ingoldianus was initially annotated to contain various domains with promising biotechnological applications. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the structural characteristics, classification, and potential function of this protein through in silico methods. Results revealed that this protein has a neutral charge and is unstable and non-polar. It is predicted to have a signal peptide, glycoside hydrolase family 114 (GH114) domain, low complexity region, and fungal type cellulose-binding domain (fCBD) or type 1 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM1) region. Structural characterization and phylogenetic analysis revealed that this protein is an endo-α-1,4-polygalactosaminidase enzyme. This protein was also predicted to contain 36 active sites and is extracellularly secreted. Molecular docking analysis showed that it could bind galactosaminogalactan (GAG), a key virulence factor for Aspergillus fumigatus chronic infections. The binding of this protein to GAG was much better than Ega3, which could be attributed to the presence of the fCBD region that is unique to this protein. It is hypothesized that the fCBD domain helps in carbohydrate recognition and holds them in place for maximum catalysis in the GH114 domain. Finally, this protein is found to be related to its orthologue from the plant pathogenic fungus Zopfia rhizophila.
Plasma frío atmosférico para el control de microorganismos patógenos en sistemas agroalimentarios

El plasma frío atmosférico (PFA) ha generado gran interés en el área industrial y en la comunidad científica, puesto que presenta valiosas propiedades, como lo son su simplicidad operativa, su bajo costo de funcionamiento, y su respeto por el medio ambiente. El PFA se puede generar a partir de varios gases (aire, nitrógeno, helio, argón) y por diferentes métodos. Sus aplicaciones abarcan múltiples áreas, como medicina, electrónica, ciencia de alimentos y agricultura, entre otros. Una de las principales características del PFA, es su capacidad de eliminar microorganismos patógenos, a través de la generación de radicales libres, los cuales disrumpen las membranas de las células y generan su apoptosis. Debido a esto, diversos investigadores han determinado los efectos de tratamientos con PFA sobre diferentes productos alimentarios, de origen vegetal y animal, contaminados con microorganismos patógenos. En general, se ha encontrado que PFA reduce significativamente la carga microbiológica de diferentes alimentos, sin afectar en la mayoría de los casos sus propiedades nutricionales y calidad. Lo que demuestra que el PFA es una herramienta innovadora y eficaz en la utilización para la inactivación de microorganismos en productos alimentarios.

Any scientific discipline undoubtedly encounters different challenges in their development over time. However, with the rise of modern technologies, such challenges expanded to new dimensions.

In linguistics, corpus studies have already proven their advantages, and many researchers and other users enjoy the richness of different corpora, spreading enthusiasm and courage to treat linguistics interdisciplinarily. At the same time, minority languages and poorly studied languages are also gaining researchers' attention. Modern technologies further motivated different translation tools, which globalize the world with an enormous speed and seems to dicrease the relevance of language study and foreign language learning. However, the needs for interest in languages remain high. Though perhaps in a different form.

This issue comprises the above ideas in five articles.

Mayuri L. DILIP and Rayesh KUMAR coauthored the article “Clitic or Agreement Restriction in Santali: A Typological Analysis”, in which they investigated the syntactic configuration of pronominal number marking in Santali, the third most-spoken Austroasiatic language, from syntactic, morphological and prosodic perspective.

The following article “Contextual factors and language: an analysis of order placements” was written by Andrej BEKEŠ. It tackles Japanese in a specific social context, namely written ordering requirements on a crowdsourcing website, and reports negative correlation between the level of added value of such requirements and the quality of linguistic expression, comparing it to the Grice’s maxims of conversation.

ITO Hideaki's article “Orthoepic Competence Descriptors in Japanese Language Education: CEFR Levels B1 to C2” overviews the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the JF Standard for Japanese-Language Education to discuss the benefits of their merging. In particular, the author re-examines CEFR descriptors for levels B1 to C2 in a non-alphabetically transcribed Japanese, which have not yet been attempted, and combine them with the results for levels A1 and A2 to present descriptors for levels A1 to C2 in overall.

KIM Yu Young in his article “Development and Operation Results of Japanese Accent Perception Test Based On e-learning System” introduced the [AJ-phonetic Test] system, an online tool for practicing perception of Japanese word accent, presented its benefits through a longitudinal study on Korean learners of Japanese.    

Finally, Miha PAVLOVIČ wrote an article entitled “Grammar Errors by Slovenian Learners of Japanese: Corpus Analysis of Writings on Beginner and Intermediate Levels”. In it he first presents how to construct such a corpus, and then presents his analysis of grammar errors that a collection of 182 written texts written by Japanese learners contained.  

Editors and Editorial Board wish the regular and new readers of the ALA journal a pleasant read full of inspiration.

Music During the Great War in Slovenia
Authors: Stefanija Leon
Published: January 2023

The contribution is a survey of music as a social practice on the territory of today’s Slovenia during the Great War. It addresses the Slovenian music culture during the Great War from three complementary perspectives. Firstly, it gives a glimpse of the musical practice in Ljubljana, where, beside the entertaining music practice, subscription concerts were offered as well. The second section, the most elaborated one, focuses on the Slovenian music production connected to the Great War in two respects: on the music for (and about) it, as well as on the musical practice based on the events of the period that is considered, by many, to be odious. It offers a taste of the musical culture in Slovenia during the Great War and of the repertories of music pertaining to soldiery, concentrating on one in-depth analytical fragment of the song Tam na karpatskoj gori (Prošnja umirajočega junaka). Thirdly, the last section is devoted to the reception of the music connected to the Great War in Slovenia after 1918.
O nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege à luz do artigo 7.º da Convenção Europeia dos Direitos do Homem*
Authors: Moura Bruno de Oliveira
Published: January 2023

The principle that only the law can define a crime and prescribe a penalty is a modern civilizational achievement of different societies affiliated with the legal culture of civil law. However, its real meaning and effective scope are put to the test in the field of International Criminal Law, which is heavily influenced by common law traditions. This article seeks to analyze the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on this matter. The aim is to highlight not only points of approximation or convergence with the most current approach to that guarantee within the framework of continental law, but also points of distancing or fragility, especially oscillations regarding the requirements of the “quality of law”.
Advancing the utility of palynology: Scope, breadth and novelty of approaches.
Authors:   , Webb Julia
Published: January 2023

Palynology – the study of pollen and spores – is a multi-disciplinary tool. It has been utilised for many years in: (1) traditional palaeoecology for reconstructing Quaternary and deep-time vegetation communities; (2) within archaeology to trace cultural and agricultural developments; (3) in contemporary ecology to inform management and conservation; (4) in studies of pollination biology and pollen dispersal; and (5) as a tool to determine the location or provenance of items and animals, including in forensic settings. In this thesis, ten published* papers are presented for a retrospective PhD by publication, all of which advance the utility of palynology in different ways. After a general introductory chapter, these ten papers are grouped into four chapters thematically. Firstly, two papers are presented that focus on local scale vegetation reconstructions over the last three millennia. These papers provide information on vegetation history that informs both ongoing archaeological research and contemporary ecological management. Secondly, and moving to a wider spatial scale, two papers are presented where multi-site palaeoecological data are mined to reconstruct the impacts of past global climate perturbations (c.600 and 8,200 years ago). These papers demonstrate the importance of the use of palaeoecology for predicting and managing vegetational responses to human-accelerated climate change events of a similar magnitude. Thirdly, to advance the use of palynology to inform contemporary ecology, an overarching review paper is presented on the range of ways that palaeoecology can benefit applied neoecology (including non-native management, in-situ conservation, reintroduction and rewilding). This is then followed by two papers that use palaeoecological data to test general ecological theory. The final group of papers demonstrates the application of palynology in tracing the location and provenance of subjects within forensic settings and ecological contexts. This thesis thus showcases the considerable scope and breadth of palynology as a research tool and highlights novel ways that it has been applied by the candidate to make important contributions to the fields of palaeoecology, archaeology, contemporary ecology and forensics.
