The concept of ecotourism which applies to tourism activities in natural and undisturbed environments, is frequently thought to be antonymous with urban environments, however, can be proven possible. Despite Sabah being well regarded for its ecotourism sector, the concept of urban ecotourism in the city of Kota Kinabalu has yet to be explored. Existing ecotourism destinations in Sabah are facing carrying capacity problems thus there is a growing need to explore new and different destinations or attractions to meet the demand of tourists. This study examined local Kota Kinabalu residents and tourists’ perception and values pertaining to the potential of Kota Kinabalu as an urban ecotourism destination as well as how preservation of green spaces in cities encouraged sustainability using a multi-methodological approach. Based on the results of this study, both respondent groups ranked Kota Kinabalu city as having a high potential as an urban ecotourism destination. In addition, the results of this study could assist decision or policymakers in the local tourism sector with tourism development decisions.

One of the factors in the development of culture and natural resources in Indonesia is the tourism sector. This is sought to help improve and improve the community’s economy by opening employment opportunities and developing areas that have the potential as tourism hotspots, one of which is the Komodo National Park in Labuan Bajo. However, due to the outbreak of the SARS- COVID-19 virus, the government came up with a policy to stop economic activity in the tourism sector to prevent the spread of the virus by implementing Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB). This paper aims to propose a tourism marketing strategy during the COVID-19 period by using Virtual Reality (VR) technology as a market research requirement for the TelkomGroup. This paper used a mix of methods to collect and test the data to prove the hypothesis including an External Analysis (PESTEL and Consumer Analysis) and Internal Analysis (STP or Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning and 4P Marketing Mix). The formulation of the business strategy used in this study was the Lean Canvas Business Model. Qualitative data was obtained from quantitative data analysis, which was in turn obtained by conducting interviews and collecting data surveys from a total of 360 respondents. The research resulted in a proposed marketing strategy for tourism for the COVID -19 period and beyond in the form of an STP and marketing mix, as well as its implementation through the introduction of VR. Therefore, by providing this recommendation, it is hoped that it can be a point of reference to promote and increase the interest of tourists again to support the “Pesona Indonesia” programme.

Published: December 2021

The lodging sector in Japan has experienced a shrinking market size of traditional lodging providers (known as ryokans). Ryokans, which account for about 40% of Japanese lodging market, have operated their lodging businesses based on a unique business model that has been in existence for over 1,000 years. About 30% of ryokans are in a declining stage, where they are unable to break away from the traditional business models and are in a negative spiral of continuing deficits. The intent of this paper is to understand how ryokans innovate their business model while maintaining some of their traditional fundamental elements. This paper adopts a multiple-case study approach based on the two high-performing ryokans with long histories. Our findings add the ryokans’ commercial-cultural context to existing literature that describes the role of management control systems (MCS) in supporting business model innovation. Understanding the achievement of their business model innovation from a long-term perspective of about thirty years provides our paper with theoretical originality. We conclude that the weights of formal and informal controls in MCS are equal in the long term regardless of the direction of their business model innovation. In recent years, tourism policy has encouraged ryokans to use management accounting information to overcome their low-profit businesses. Our practical suggestions complement the tourism policy that presupposes the use of management accounting information alone, and support ryokan managers to use it as a part of MCS.

As recent studies show, tourists increasingly favour hotels and other tourism businesses that adopt more sustainable practices. This trend has arguably been intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, due to the restrictions regarding crowded places and closed spaces, a lot of tourists have (re)discovered nature. In this context, the present study aims to analyse tourists’ evaluation of sustainability criteria and willingness to pay for items when choosing a destination during the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, previously validated scales for sustainability criteria and willingness to pay (for a sustainable destination) were tested, through a confirmatory approach, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, data was collected through a survey questionnaire (n=567) with Portuguese tourists and subjected to a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The findings show that the factors hold their dimensionality, convergent validity, and reliability in the context of Portuguese tourists travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, a newly proposed item, related to the importance given to the inclusion of local producers in the tourism industry’s supply chain, was validated. The findings also show that, especially when it comes to willingness to pay, factors with a direct effect on tourists’ experience are significantly more valued. Additionally, the results point to a slightly different outlook on sustainability criteria by Portuguese tourists, which is likely related to the context of the pandemic. Finally, the findings provide useful insights for destination managers aiming to attract tourists with a more sustainable behaviour.

In recent decades, a special attention has been devoted to gold(III) complexes as potential antitumor agents due to their structural similarity to platinum(II) complexes. One of the possible mechanisms of the mode of antitumor activity of gold(III) complexes could include their interaction with DNA. However, the effectiveness of the therapeutic agents also depends on the degree of its binding to proteins present in the blood plasma, because, in this way, it is transported to the cell. Considering this, we investigated the interactions of three dinuclear gold(III) complexes of the general formula [{AuCl3}2(μ– L)], L = 4,4’-bipy (4,4’-bipyridine, Au1), bpe (1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, Au2) and dpe (1,2-bis(4- pyridyl)ethene, Au3) with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The main aim of the study was to evaluate the binding affinities of gold(III) complexes Au1–3 towards these biomolecules for possible insights on their mode of biological activity. The values of binding constants (KA) of Au1–3 to ct-DNA are higher than those for BSA, indicating greater affinity of the complexes towards this nucleic acid. The partition coefﬁcient (logP) value for Au1 is higher compared to the corresponding values for the other two complexes, what is in accordance with a higher cellular uptake efficiency of this complex.

Published: December 2021

Serum albumin is the major soluble protein in the circulatory system of humans. The metabolism of drugs, their distribution, free concentration, and efficacy depend on the drug-serum albumin interaction [1]. Accordingly, it is important to study the interactions of drugs with serum albumin, which determines the pharmacology and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Quercetin (QUE), a natural polyphenol widely distributed in many plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and tea [2], bind to serum albumin [3]. Tigecycline (TGC), is a tetracycline antibiotic widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections [4]. This study aimed to investigate the binding properties of TGC to HSA in the presence of QUE, under physiological conditions, by fluorescence spectroscopy.

Published: December 2021

If a graph G of order n has the Laplacian energy same as that of complete graph Kn then G is said to be L-borderenergeic graph. It is interesting and challenging as well to identify the graphs which are L-borderenergetic as only few graphs are known to be L-borderenergetic. In the present work we have investigated a sequence of L-borderenergetic graphs and also devise a procedure to ﬁnd sequence of L-borderenergetic graphs from the known L-borderenergetic graph.

Average minimum distances of periodic point sets – foundational invariants for mapping periodic crystals
Authors: Widdowson Daniel , Mosca Marco M. , Pulido Angeles , Cooper Andrew I. , Kurlin Vitaliy
Published: December 2021

The fundamental model of any solid crystalline material (crystal) at the atomic scale is a periodic point set. The strongest natural equivalence of crystals is rigid motion or isometry that preserves all inter-atomic distances. Past comparisons of periodic structures often used manual thresholds, symmetry groups and reduced cells, which are discontinuous under perturbations or thermal vibrations of atoms. This work defines the infinite sequence of continuous isometry invariants (Average Minimum Distances) to progressively capture distances between neighbors. The asymptotic behaviour of the new invariants is theoretically proved in all dimensions for a wide class of sets including non-periodic. The proposed near linear time algorithm identified all different crystals in the world's largest Cambridge Structural Database within a few hours on a modest desktop. The ultra fast speed and proved continuity provide rigorous foundations to continuously parameterise the space of all periodic crystals as a high-dimensional extension of Mendeleev's table of elements.

Published: December 2021

The forcing polynomial and anti-forcing polynomial are two important enumerative polynomials associated with all perfect matchings of a graph. In a graph with large order, the exhaustive enumeration which is used to compute forcing number of a given perfect matching is too time-consuming to compute anti-forcing number. In this paper, we come up with an efficient method — integer linear programming, to compute forcing number and anti-forcing number of a given perfect matching. As applications, we obtain the di-forcing polynomials C60 , C70 and C72 , and as a consequence, the forcing and anti-forcing polynomials of them are obtained.

Black ministry has historically found itself at the intersection of theology and racial justice. In this dialogue, a group of people, both ordained and lay, discuss their work in the Methodist Church in Great Britain, taking a deep look at self and system through the lens of justice and inclusion. The Methodist Church has a long history of grappling with issues of (racial) justice. In 2019, at a Racial Justice Symposium convened by the Methodist Church, participants engaged in an awareness-based systems change process to take a deep dive into what it means to shape inclusive community. Theory U (Scharmer 2016, 2018; Scharmer & Kaufer, 2013) provided the overarching framework and key principles for this journey of co-inquiry.
The New Paradigm Is Already Here

Published: December 2021

This paper explores how abstract concepts of alignment, such as moving between different levels of attention, were made visible and concrete in a case study carried out in the context of nature tourism. The alignment practices were mapped from a design research project, where the aim was to construct and explore a prototype of future culture based on care and awareness-based co-creation. The paper combines literature form care ethics and ontology of becoming to support the alignment concepts form awareness-based systems change approach, Theory U. In addition, the collaborative and dialogical tradition of constructive design research is being introduced as a potential sense-making approach to explore the deeper meanings of experiences and events in the development process together with local stakeholders. Later, the research findings are discussed in the light of the individual and collective capacity building needs, which aim to change our inner mindset and posture of being and becoming with the world. Finally, the paper argues that the potential for change and the choice to bring about that change can be found within us as a willingness and readiness to re-invent ourselves in every moment, every encounter, and interaction.

El rol de los micro-ARN en la regulación de la secreción de insulina en el desarrollo de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2
Authors: Eliasson Lena
Published: December 2021

La insulina liberada desde las células beta dentro de los islotes de Langerhans es fundamental para el control de la homeostasis de la glucosa. La combinación de factores ambientales y genéticos pueden producir defectos en dicha regulación y causar diabetes tipo 2 (DM2). La hiperglucemia causada por la reducción de absorción de glucosa en los tejidos de los pacientes debe compensarse mediante el incremento de secreción de insulina de las células beta. La incapacidad de las células beta para producir suficiente insulina provoca la DM2. Para adaptar las células beta en el desarrollo de la DM2, los micro-ARN, pequeños ARN no codificantes encargados de la regulación postranscripcional de la expresión genética, son ideales gracias a su habilidad para regular rápidamente los cambios en la expresión genética de los pacientes.  Sin embargo, mientras que algunos cambios en la expresión de algunos micro-ARN ocurren como un mecanismo compensatorio para resistir la insulina, otros son parte de la etiología de la DM2.Los micro-ARN también se encargan de mantener las identidades fenotípicas de las células beta, ya sea a través de la expresión genética específica o enriquecida, y otros micro-ARN, como por ejemplo el miR-29, reducen la expresión de los genes rechazados de las células beta. Uno de los micro-ARN más abundantes en las células beta es el miR-375, el cual está involucrado en varios procesos celulares esenciales para mantener la identidad fenotípica de las células beta. A pesar de la importancia del miR-375, no se ha demostrado que se exprese de forma diferente en los islotes de pacientes con DM2. Al contrario, otros micro-ARN, como el miR-200, miR-335, miR-130 a/b y el miR-152, se encuentran desregulados en los islotes de pacientes con DM2. Analizaré el rol de los micro-ARN en la disfunción de células beta en la patogénesis de la DM2, cómo los micro-ARN pueden involucrarse en tratamientos futuros y de qué manera pueden usarse como potenciales marcadores biológicos de la enfermedad.
La historia de Iris (prediabetes tipo 2 y embarazo). Conferencia prediabetes: Estudios relevantes
Authors: Sinay Isaac
Published: December 2021

Es necesario aclarar que nos referiremos solo a una de las diversas situaciones con alta progresión a diabetes (DM), que es la de las hiperglucemias no diabéticas = la glucemia alterada en ayunas, la tolerancia alterada a la glucosa oral y la hemoglobina glucosilada A1c marginalmente elevada pero debajo de valores de 6,5%. Esto debido a que la mayor parte de las evidencias toma por razones metodológicas estos criterios para definir la inclusión de las personas a estudiar.Teniendo en cuenta que el caso clínico presentado previamente se refiere a una mujer de 22 años en búsqueda de embarazo y diagnosticada con prediabetes a los 19 años, en todos los aspectos de esta presentación trataremos de rescatar las informaciones relevantes en niños, adolescentes y jóvenes.Por ello recordaremos los tiempos de perturbaciones en insulinoacción e insulinosecreción que preceden a las anormalidades glucémicas en esta atapa de grandes cambios hormonales, fenotípicos y sociales, entre otros, pues pueden definir tiempos probables de acciones proactivas.Identificaremos algunos estudios que cuantifican el riesgo variable de progresión a diabetes en personas con situaciones hiperglucémicas no diabéticas y los datos que pudimos rescatar en niños y jóvenes referidos a este tema. También se identificará la incidencia de impacto vascular variable de los distintos criterios diagnósticos para prediabetes hiperglucémica.Revisaremos los estudios que demostraron éxito o fracaso en la reducción de la incidencia de DM en portadores de hiperglucemias no diabéticas con cambios de estilo de vida y con intervenciones farmacológicas. Además, mostraremos cómo algunos de los resultados favorables en adultos podrían no serlo en adolescentes y jóvenes. Se señalarán algunos estudios con objetivos primarios para incidencia de DM y para impacto vascular que la postergación en el diagnóstico de DM no coincidía con menor incidencia de eventos vasculares. Sin embargo, se mostrarán resultados de beneficios microvasculopáticos (algunos sexodependientes) y macrovaculopáticos en el seguimiento a largo plazo posterior a la finalización de algunos estudiosMencionaremos algunas evidencias sobre dificultades en los intentos de traslación poblacional de los estudios controlados.En conclusión, las evidencias exitosas para postergar DM en situaciones de hiperglucemias no diabéticas presentan áreas que merecen mayor investigación en niños y jóvenes. Debe continuar explorándose su traslado al mundo real, probablemente intentando ingresar preventivamente a la población en etapas previas a las de hiperglucemias marginales, todo esto sin olvidar que deben fortalecerse los estudios que combinen la prevención de los problemas metabólicos con la de los eventos vasculares a los que están asociados.
Simposio: Abordaje terapéutico. Cirugía bariátrica y célula beta
Authors: Musso Carla
Published: December 2021

Múltiples estudios realizados en pacientes con obesidad que se sometieron a cirugía bariátrica (CB) -tanto con la técnica de by pass gástrico, derivación biliopancreática con switch duodenal o gastrectomía vertical (manga gástrica)- demostraron remisión de diabetes (DM). Las explicaciones para justificar dichas modificaciones beneficiosas incluyen el incremento de GLP-1 y GIP posintervención, el descenso de peso con disminución de tejido adiposo con modificaciones de citoquinas proinflamatorias, la disminución de ghrelina, el aumento de la insulinosensibilidad y el impacto de los ácidos biliares.Teniendo en cuenta el rol protagónico de la célula beta para mantener la normoglucemia, se realizó un estudio randomizado exponiendo suero de pacientes con obesidad y DM que fueron sometidos a CB (gastrectomía vertical) en un cultivo de células beta comparándolo con suero de pacientes con tratamiento convencional.En las células beta expuestas a suero de pacientes con CB se observó aumento en la viabilidad y proliferación celular, disminución de las especies reactivas del oxígeno y del p53, aumento de la expresión de proteínas relacionadas con autofagia, SIRT1 y p62/SQSTM1, reducción significativa de marcadores de estrés del retículo endotelial e incremento de la expresión de insulina. A los seis meses de la cirugía los pacientes lograron buen control de la DM, mientras no lo lograron aquellos bajo tratamiento convencional. Esto implica que factores circulantes en pacientes con mejor control metabólico pos-CB ejercen un efecto favorable en la función y sobrevida de la célula beta.
Public Health Federalism?
Authors: Kunce Mitch
Published: December 2021

Abstract

This paper develops a general equilibrium model of competitive jurisdictional choice that provides insights into what is being coined 'public health federalism'. Using a standard neoclassical model of production combined with a utility maximization hypothesis, jurisdictions choose both tax rates and a level of local public health quality. Incorporating the joint determination of both tax decisions and the choice of public health standards can give rise to some interesting interrelationships between local tax revenues and public health considerations. Additionally, the model is extended to address the fiscal realities of sub-state jurisdictions in the United States. Beleaguered in a second-best setting, devolved efficiency becomes a target difficult to hit. We show that when jurisdictions rely on taxing mobile factors and mobile factor productivity is enhanced by relaxing public health mitigation, jurisdictions will choose lower levels of public health quality.

Published: December 2021

Les architectures médiévales du savoir conçues dans le monde islamique, constituent un cas particulier : elles reflètent parfaitement la compétition entre les différentes traditions et approches intellectuelles. D’une part, certaines des classifications sont centrées sur ce qui était perçu comme sciences indigènes durant leur période de formation, c’est-à-dire ces sciences qui émergent en connexion avec la nouvelle religion qu’est l’Islam et la langue de sa révélation, l’arabe. D’autre part, les savants ont repris avec empressement et adapté les disciplines dérivant de cultures non-arabes et non-musulmanes, principalement la science et la philosophie grecques. Cependant, ces traditions transmettent leurs propres conceptions de la connaissance, en partie en conflit avec les idées arabes/islamiques. Dans cet article, je propose un aperçu des approches diverses puis me concentre sur Fārābī et Avicenne, afin de retracer un développement remarquable : la dissolution graduelle des frontières aussi bien au sein qu’entre les différentes sphères et paradigmes scientifiques et ce sur des bases épistémologiques.

Ülkemizde doğal alan macera eğitimi ve macera turizm etkinlik ve programları cumhuriyetin ilk dönemlerine dayanıyorken, bu konudaki araştırma sonuçları nispeten kısıtlı ve yenidir. Uluslararası literatürde bu konularla ilgili tatminkar düzeyde kanıt bulunmakta veya üzerinde halen yoğun çalışmalar devam ettirilmektedir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, açık (doğal) alan rekreasyonu kapsamında doğa eğitim paradigmasının kavram ve yaklaşımlarını olgusal bir yaklaşımla inceleyerek macera eğitim programlarının kazanımları araştırmalar ışığında derlemektir. Kavramsal değerlendirme sonuçları “açık alan” kavramının geniş bir anlamı yansıttığı ve “doğal alan” ifadesinin, kastedilen insan eli değmemiş yabanıl çevrenin tasviri açısından daha anlamlı olduğunu, etkinlik içeriklerinde sunulan doğa, macera ya da ekstrem spor kavramlarının aslında sinonim anlamlar taşıdığını, katılımın altında yatan nedenlerin nihayetinde “akış deneyimi” olduğunu, doğal alan rekreasyonu kapsamında ele alınan macera programlarının birey ve toplum yaşamında bilişsel, duyuşsal ve fiziksel anlamda önemli ölçüde fayda sağlayabileceğini, katılımcılar açısından program kazanımlarının bireyler arası, bireysel, ekolojik ve çevresel, liderlik, karar verme, muhakeme ve akademik becerilerine yönelik olduğu ve son olarak bu katkıların grup büyüklüğü, etkinlik süresi ve yaş değişkenine karşı duyarlılık taşıdığı sistematik biçimde ortaya konmuştur.

Debt Capacity and Financial Performance of Quoted Firms in Nigeria
Authors: Asaolu Matthew
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The field of research treating debt capacity can be comprehended as a unique piece of a lot more extensive capital structure hypothesis. This started with the paper of Modigliani/Miller in 1958. There has been a continuous and serious hypothetical dialog about the ideal capital structure of an organization. One generally new piece of the related discussion is debt capacity and potential connection to the capital structure of an organization.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of debt capacity and financial performance of quoted firms in Nigeria. This study expected that debt capacity can be a way to characterize and deal with the capital structure of an organization.

Methodology: The study formulated 3 hypotheses and the least square multiple regression was used for hypothesis testing empirical results based on 2014 to 2018 accounting and marketing data for 20 quoted firms in Nigeria lend some support to the pecking order and static tradeoff theories of optimal capital structure. Data were sourced from the Nigeria Stock Exchange, Security and Exchange Commission, and other relevant data sources. This study investigated, experimentally, if there might be a significant relationship between the debt capacity of organizations and their financial and market performance.  

Findings: A firm’s debt capacity was found to have a significant impact on the firm’s accounting performance measure. Debt capacity measures have a positive and significant relationship with the market performance measure (Tobin’s Q). A fascinating finding is that all the influence estimates have a positive and exceptionally critical association with the market execution measure (Tobin’s Q), which could somewhat bolster Myers, (1977)’s contention that organizations with high transient obligation to add up to resources have a high development rate and superior.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The consequences of this result further affirm some earlier discoveries by different researchers and prior analysts and the exploration work has had the option to discover answers to the examination addresses prior brought up in the basic part in the accompanying ways. It was therefore recommended that Companies can finance themselves with debt and equity capital. By increasing the amount of debt capital relative to its equity capital, a company can increase its return on equity. Also, in transition, the economic environment is more volatile and riskier than in developed markets. Therefore, a management scheme of capital structure that provides for flexibility in financing is preferable.
Effect of Liquidity Management on Profitability of Commercial Banks in Nigeria
Authors: Olaleye Oreoluwa , Adesina Muhammed , Yusuf Sulaiman
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Commercial banks in Nigeria are more engrossed with profit maximization and as such they tend to neglect the importance of liquidity management. This eventually leads to financial indebtedness and consequently low patronage and deposit flight.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of liquidity management on profitability of commercial banks in Nigeria using data obtained from the financial statements of tier 1 banks over the period 1998 to 2018.

Methodology: The study employed the correlational research design and engaged the Johansen test with the vector error correction model to access the long run and short run relationship among the variables.

Findings: The results of the Johansen test revealed at most two cointegrating equations among the variables, while result of vector error correction revealed a positive effect of liquidity on return on asset and return on equity but a negative effect on net profit margin. Results revealed a fairly stable trend in the liquidity and profitability indicators from 1998-2018 and concluded that banks controlled enough liquidity to serve their obligations.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends that the central bank of Nigeria should maintain the regulation over the minimum liquidity of commercial banks as this affects their profitability.

The study is expected to show that the Church is a human organization that is dynamic rather than static, a community that does not have immunity over other forces operating on earth such as corruption.

Methodology: Key data was acquired from literature materials dealing with the history of Christianity during the Middle Ages or medieval period. The second group of literature materials provided information that has to do with the current social moral issues, with special focus on corruption. The study applies narrative method of literature review to fill the gaps on what corruption entails. Both qualitative and quantitative study designs were engaged.

Findings: The desire for power and prestige, simony and investiture, feudalism, sale of indulgences, and nepotism are all identified with the medieval period church history. The Church must be given credit for the effort it put in eradicating those evils, and the modern Church’s challenge is to continue fighting for the same. The modern Church has been challenged to learn from the mistakes of the medieval Church and make sure that they are not repeated. Moral depravity, lack of proper education, poverty, land issues, and love of money have been highlighted as the key factors that contribute to the increase of corruption in Kenya and many other countries in Africa. Change of values, instilling of accountability systems, playing a mediating role, and establishing anti-corruption education are stated as the key methods that Christians should incorporate in their fight against corruption.

Unique Contribution to theory, practice and policy: The Church of the medieval period portrayed a clear picture that the whole human society was subject to the will of God. In spite of the many pitfalls that accompanied Christianity, there still remained many faithful people who were true ambassadors of Christ. It must also be known that Christianity deserves unreserved credit for her forefront participation in the development of the modern societies. The church is recommended to take a forefront position in the fight against corruption.
Calcium Requirement in Relation to Milk Fever and its Economic Impact in Dairy Cattle

The goal of this research was to compile and consolidate the disparate data on calcium requirements in connection to milk fever and its economic impact in dairy cattle. The most frequent mineral-related metabolic condition affecting dairy cows at parturition is milk fever, which occurs most commonly in adult dairy cows two to three days following parturition .It is caused by a severe lack of metabolizable calcium ions in the circulation (hypocalcaemia), and its primarily affects high-producing and high-performing dairy cows that are nearing their maximal output capability. Milk yield, parity, cow breed, and a lack of awareness of basic dairy management and ration formulation are all variables that contribute to milk fever. It reduces milk yield and fertility, which leads to the culling of high-producing dairy cows from a herd. It also raises the expense of animal treatment and the danger of additional parturient disorders such retained placenta, ketosis, displaced abomasum, and environmental mastitis. Intravenous calcium salts, such as borogluconate, at a rate of 2g/100kg body weight, as well as oral calcium solutions, are two methods for treating milk fever in dairy cows. Cases of milk fever, on the other hand, can be minimized with good management, notably through the use of proper feeds and feeding systems .To summarize, management of milk fever is very important because it should be considered as a gateway disease that greatly reduce the chance for full productivity and reproduction of dairy cows. The key to prevention of milk fever is management of a close-up dry cow or management during late pregnancy .Therefore, milk fever management is economically most important, as a result, raising dairy farmers’ awareness of milk fever and optimal ration compositions for their dairy cows is a critical instrument in the fight against milk fever.

A obesidade e o sobrepeso é uma pandemia ascendente no Brasil e no mundo, capaz de provocar impactos físicos e psicossociais em todasidades e sexos. Assim, realizar a caracterização sociodemográfica, clínica e farmacoterapêutica de pacientes com obesidade e sobrepeso atendidos em uma Clínica Psicológica tornou-se objetivo deste estudo. Através de um corte transversal, descritivo e exploratório, em uma amostra de 58 pacientes, foi aplicado uma modificação do questionário “Versão Brasileira do Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36”. Os resultados indicaram que: (a) os homens apresentaram peso normal com maior frequência do que as mulheres (11,67 pontos percentuais de diferença), além de sobrepeso (4,72 pontos percentuais de diferença), porém a obesidade de grau I e grau II somente foram observadas nas mulheres; (b) com uma diferença de 13,33 pontos percentuais, os homens seguem uma dieta regular mais frequentemente do que as mulheres e, também, disseram se sentirem mais satisfeitos com o peso; (c) 16 participantes (27,59%) que relataram terem sofrido algum tipo de violência devido ao peso. O aumento da prevalência de ansiedade e depressão dentre os pacientes obesos é indicativo de que o excesso de peso está atrelado à deterioração da saúde mental.
Felnőtt analfabéta bevándorlók nyelvi integrációja Németországban : Oktatási tapasztalatok az írás-olvasás kurzuson
Authors: Bakó Eszter Bernadett

Tanulmányomban felnőtt analfabéta bevándorlók német nyelvtanulásának folyamatát vizsgálom. A kutatást Németországban egy 980 tanórából álló alfabetizációs kurzus keretében végeztem, ahol német mint idegen nyelv tanárként 6 afgán és 4 gambiai résztvevőt oktattam. A vizsgált csoport tagjai alacsony iskolázottságúak voltak. A hat afgán résztvevő anyanyelvén (dari) sem rendelkezett írásbeli ismeretekkel, így mind az arab, mind pedig a latin betűs írásmód terén analfabéták voltak. A gambiai tanulók ezzel szemben anyanyelvükön (mandinka) kívül beszéltek angolul, valamint voltak előismereteik az ehhez kapcsolódó latin betűs írásrendszer terén is. A tanfolyam célja a résztvevők alfabetizálása, valamint a KER szerinti A2-es nyelvi szint elérése volt. A tanulmány kevert módszerű kutatáson alapul, tehát a kvalitatív szóbeli és írásbeli nyelvi mérések eredményeit számszerűsített, kvantitatív formában adom meg. Az ehhez szükséges adatgyűjtés három fázisban zajlott. Egy kurzust megelőző szintfelmérő teszt segítségével vizsgáltam a bemeneti tényezőket. Ezt követően a folyamattényezőket rendszeres kurzusközi felmérésekkel térképeztem fel. Végül a kimeneti tényezőket a tanfolyamot záró telc írásbeli és szóbeli nyelvvizsga feladatlapjával mértem fel.

A Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem Idegennyelvi és Szaknyelvi Lektorátus szemléletmódjának formálódását igazolja, hogy a szaknyelvet oktató munkatársak megkezdték a különböző szolgálati ágak idegen nyelvű szakmai kommunikációjának kutatását is. Időről időre más generációval állunk szemben, jelenleg a digitális bennszülöttek oktatásával foglalkozunk, akik egyszerre párhuzamosan több feladat megoldására is képesek. A Lektorátus oktatói nyitottak az innovációk felé, a klasszikus megoldások mellett különböző számítógépes és mobil applikációkat/ platformokat is használnak. Készségtárgyak oktatóiként fő célunk a kompetenciák kialakítása. Ez a szemlélet a tanulók teljesítményének értékelésében is megnyilvánul, melynek célja nem a hibák büntetése, hanem a tanuló motivációjának és kommunikációjának támogatása. Tény, hogy a felsőoktatásban is megjelenő „Z” generáció tanulási szokásai megváltoztak. A gyors ütemben fejlődő információs technológiai eszközök hatékony kihasználása mellett a hallgatók célnyelven történő kommunikációjának fejlesztése a cél, melyhez egy – az új nyelvi stratégia részét képező – kutatási tervet is kidolgoztunk (Barnucz – Uricska, 2020).
A szaknyelvoktatáshoz szükséges tanári kompetenciák fejlesztése
Authors: Einhorn Ágnes
Published: December 2021

A kényszerűen bevezetett online oktatás azzal is szembesítette a közvéleményt és a szakmát, hogy mennyi teendő van még a pedagógiai modernizáció terén. Először áttekintem, hogy a korszerű oktatás alapelvei, illetve az ehhez szükséges tanári kompetenciák rendszere hogyan jelenik meg a szakirodalomban és a szabályozó dokumentumokban, majd röviden áttekintem a tanártovábbképzések módszertani változásait is. Az összegzés eredménye az, hogy elméletileg ez a terület jól dokumentált: évtizedek óta számtalan kutatási eredmény és elméleti munka született ezekben a témákban. Mindezek alapján azzal a kérdéssel foglalkozom, hogy ha ennyire világos elméleti tudásunk van arról, hogy milyen tanári kompetenciákra van szükség a korszerű oktatáshoz, és szakmai konszenzus van ezek kialakításának módszertanáról is, akkor miért olyan nehézkes a pedagógiai modernizáció. A korszerű (szaknyelv)oktatás célja a tanulók/hallgatók felkészítése a környezet folyamatos változására, a változás pedagógiájának megszületéséhez azonban a pedagógia és a tanár változására van szükség. Ezzel súlyosan szemben áll az állandóság, mint kiemelt pedagógiai érték, amely meghatározza az oktatás gyakorlatát. A konklúzióm az, hogy a pedagógiai modernizációhoz, tehát a változáshoz és a változtatáshoz minden elméleti tudása megvan a szakmának, a sikertelenség okát tehát másutt kell keresni: a társadalmi elvárások, a támogató és motiváló környezet és a tanári motiváció terén érdemes kutatni az okokat.
ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA E A PEDAGOGIA FREIREANA: UMA POSSIBILIDADE A PARTIR DA OBRA DO FOTÓGRAFO SEBASTIÃO SALGADO
Authors: Sabião Batista Ruhama Ariella , Barbosa Audrey Franciny
Published: December 2021

Este artigo propõe-se a discutir o Ensino de História e a Pedagogia freireana, utilizando-se do trabalho do fotógrafo Sebastião Salgado. Freire acreditava que a leitura do mundo e das palavras também partiam da leitura das imagens, contestando assim uma educação bancária, que nesta perspectiva utilizaria a fotografia com fins meramente ilustrativos. Sendo assim, este trabalho buscou levantar referenciais teóricos e analisar as fotografias do fotógrafo Sebastião Salgado, como forma de articular as discussões freireanas com uma prática libertadora no Ensino de História. Percebeu-se a relevância das fotografias para a ampliação da leitura de mundo, e as possibilidades que elas carregam de desconstruir estereótipos, formar identidades e auxiliar a pensar a sociedade e as lutas sociais travadas ao longo da história.
