Mitochondrial dysfunction and epigenetic alterations in metabolically compromised oocytes : a key pathway to subfertility and a target to improve offspring health
Authors:   , Meulders Ben
Published: October 2024

The global rise in obesity, driven by high-fat/high-sugar diets, is increasingly linked to fertility issues in women and long-term health problems in their offspring. A key factor mediating these effects is the increased level of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) in the ovarian and oviductal microenvironment, which imposes metabolic stress on the oocyte and early embryo. This stress is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and epigenetic alterations. While the mitochondria’s influence on epigenetic programming in somatic cells (a process termed metaboloepigenetics) is well known, the direct relationship remains poorly understood in oocytes and early embryos. These cells exhibit unique mitochondrial characteristics and undergo dynamic epigenetic reprogramming. In this PhD research, we hypothesized that mitochondrial dysfunction in metabolically compromised oocytes and embryos affects epigenetic programming during early development, with potential long-term consequences for offspring health. Preconception dietary interventions aimed at improving oocyte mitochondrial function may prevent these outcomes. Using a bovine in vitro model, we showed that increased NEFAs during final oocyte maturation (and early embryo development) induce epigenetic alterations during early embryogenesis and on day 14 of development. Importantly, this was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Oocyte ATP production appears to play a crucial role in the mitochondrial-epigenetic link as specific inhibition of bovine oocyte ATP production during final oocyte maturation resulted in altered epigenetic programming in both the oocyte and early embryos. In a complementary in vivo outbred mouse model, we demonstrated that a long-term maternal high-fat/high-sugar diet from the preconception period until weaning (17 weeks) only moderately impacted offspring metabolic health and oocyte quality after being fed chow diet from weaning until adulthood. Switching the mothers to a control diet for four weeks before conception alleviated most of these effects. The novel insights from this research provide a foundation for further exploration of the mitochondrial-epigenetic link in oocytes and embryos under maternal metabolic stress conditions. These findings also offer potential avenues for developing in vitro or in vivo mitochondrial-targeted therapies to safeguard epigenetic programming and improve offspring health.

En torno a las creencias y prácticas religiosas de los vacceos
Authors: Blanco García Juan Francisco
Published: October 2024

De las creencias y prácticas religiosas de los vacceos no es mucho lo que conocemos en la actualidad, debido en parte a que los textos clásicos son escasos en referencias y a que las excavaciones arqueológicas, que son nuestra principal fuente de conocimiento, no han sido especialmente fértiles en este tipo de información. La mayor parte de los aspectos religiosos de los vacceos (tales como sus deidades, santuarios urbanos y rurales, rituales, prácticas mágicas, etc.) son desconocidos. Sí tenemos la certeza, no obstante, de su proclividad a la realización de cultos estrechamente vinculados con la naturaleza, en sintonía con los de las religiones célticas en general, donde las propias deidades estaban asociadas al mundo natural: a la luna, a las estrellas, al sol simbolizado en esvásticas o en las denominadas “barcas solares”, a animales simbólicos como el caballo, el lobo, el jabalí, el toro, la serpiente, los ánades o el buitre.
Service priority classification using machine learning
Authors: Boonprapapan Teratam , Seresangtakul Pusadee , Horata Punyaphol
Published: October 2024

This article details a procedure for classifying service cases with various priority levels based on machine learning (ML). It accurately defines the priority level of each service case. The presence of imbalanced datasets in service cases poses a challenge for achieving reliable classification accuracy. To address this, the use of the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) was proposed as the method for balancing the datasets prior to applying the ML method. From these experimental results, an improvement in the precision of the learning process was observed, which led to better outcomes in the test sets. This improvement was measured using the efficiency metrics from the confusion matrix. The experiment involved 6,182 service cases, categorized into four levels: critical, serious, moderate, and low. These were based on test comparisons with other ML methods. The accuracy achieved in the test data was 94.37%. By employing a hybrid technique to address the imbalance in SMOTE and the support vector machine model, it was found to be more effective than the comparative term frequency-inverse document frequency model that was used in conjunction with cosine similarity, which achieved an evaluation score of 70.14%.

Authors: Camillo Neusa Beatris Vicenzi , Molin Rossano Sartori Dal
Published: October 2024

An important part of pediatric treatment is assessing pain in children, as they often cannot communicate the intensity of pain verbally. The objective, therefore, was to analyze the effectiveness of the use of pain assessment scales in pediatrics by the nursing team. Methodologically, the integrative literature review was carried out according to Whittemore and Knafl’s guidelines, with searches in the PubMed, Google Scholar and Scielo databases, using the descriptors “pain assessment”, “nursing” and “pediatrics”. Studies on the use of pain scales in pediatric patients were included, regardless of the type (validation, clinical use, systematic reviews), published in the last 10 years and written in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Review articles, theses, monographs, repeated or paid articles, and those that did not specifically focus on pain scales for pediatrics were excluded. As a result, the review of studies indicates that, although these scales are widely recognized and used by the nursing team, there is an evident need for greater training and awareness among professionals to ensure their correct and effective application. Therefore, it is concluded that, to maximize the effectiveness of pain assessment scales in pediatrics, it is essential to invest in continuous training, develop protocols adapted to the individual needs of children and explore new technologies that complement traditional approaches. These steps will improve the quality of care provided as they also contribute to a more welcoming and compassionate environment for children and their families.
A CRIAÇÃO DA LITERATURA INFANTIL EM FAZENDO ANA PAZ
Authors: Santos Rangel Luiz dos
Published: October 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o diálogo constante entre a criação literária voltada ao público infantil e a pedagogia, a partir da figura paterna desenvolvida no livro Fazendo Ana Paz, de Lygia Bojunga. Neste artigo, buscou-se problematizar a noção de literatura pedagogizante, que reduz o universo literário a uma função meramente utilitarista, com a finalidade de moralizar e educar seus leitores. Para tanto, traçamos um paralelo sobre a construção da personagem do pai feita por Lygia Bojunga e a sua necessidade de sempre recorrer à contação de histórias como ferramenta para instrução e formação da personalidade de sua filha. A metodologia adotada foi a revisão literária. O desenvolvimento deste tema, se justifica pelo papel central que a literatura desempenha no ambiente escolar e na formação geral da infância. A partir desta investigação, concluímos que a Literatura Infantil e a Pedagogia têm estabelecido uma relação dialógica desde o princípio, não sendo áreas antagônicas. Assim, a primeira pode enriquecer a segunda, ao mesmo tempo em que a pedagogia pode auxiliar na formação de novos leitores críticos.

The Potential Impact of Online Learning on Economically Disadvantaged Students
Authors:   , Tartaglia Anthony
Published: October 2024

Opportunity gaps have consistently been prevalent in the United States’ education system and that continues today. The struggle to provide economically disadvantaged students the equity necessary to ensure opportunities exist, similar to those present for students of economic advantage, remains a pervasive dilemma for which there are few solutions. As technology continually changes the global marketplace, it is doing the same to education. Educators have an enormous impact on the lives of their students, both in and out of the classroom and through their instruction, there are techniques available to ensure that students remain engaged. One such method is by using technology, specifically online/virtual learning to not only captivate student interest, but to reduce the already wide chasm that exists between students with and without the means to an equitable education. This action research study sought to determine any possible correlation that may be present between students that are economically disadvantaged who enroll in online courses and the effect it may have on their ability to complete those courses. Several theoretical viewpoints framed the study, including critical theory, social learning theory, ecological systems theory and online learning theory. The study was completed using data from online course enrollments from a southeastern Pennsylvania school district from a three-year time period. The online course data was further examined based on several defining characteristics, such as required as opposed to elective and the location in which students partook in the course; onsite or offsite. Online students were also delineated into whether they were considered economically disadvantaged based on eligibility for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Teachers from the school district’s middle school and high school were surveyed for their perceptions about online/virtual learning and the instruction of economically disadvantaged students. Drawing on all of the compiled data, the study showed that students who completed online, required courses in an onsite capacity passed them more frequently than those who took online, required courses offsite. The study also revealed that there are discrepancies between teachers and students in their perceptions of the effectiveness and usefulness of online/virtual learning.
The Writing for Healing and Transformation Project
Authors:   , Osborn Heather
Published: October 2024

As a qualitative action research study, the purpose of The Writing for Healing and Transformation Project was to facilitate more inclusive writing strategies and to promote individual and collective healing on issues of social suffering and oppression (Kleinman, Das, & Lock, 1997; Pennebaker & Smyth, 2016) for diverse students at a community college located in the northeastern United States. The 18 participants in the study included students in my English II literature and composition course. The theoretical framework encompassed Pennebaker’s (2016) “writing for healing” paradigm, advocating the use of expressivist writing and “social suffering theory,” examining how power structures affect social problems (Kleinman, Das, & Lock, 1997). As an intervention, course readings included literature with social suffering themes. Postmodernism and Poststructural Feminism were also central theoretical components of the study, introducing the use of the semiotic strategies of translingualism and multimodalities to examine teaching strategies. The intended results were to engage students as agents of community caregiving for social healing through the publication of a charity book on a social suffering theme chosen by the students and to facilitate inclusive and alternative methods of rhetorical expression. The data collected included a recorded book theme discussion, the students’ submissions for the book, and semi-structured interviews with three participants. Using open coding, the results demonstrated a number of benefits to students, including increased confidence and poststructural shifts in thinking and writing. Book submissions exhibited a variety of rhetorical styles and semiotic strategies, along with defined solutions for healing on social suffering topics.
How We Got Here: Testimonios of Secondary Latina Educators
Authors:   , Little Leila
Published: October 2024

In Pennsylvania, the disparity of Teachers of Color in relation to Students of Color is three times higher than the national disproportionality rate (Stohr, Fontana, Lapp, 2018). Fontana and Lapp (2018) suggest this makes Pennsylvania “one of the most disparate states in the country” (p. 2). Specifically, for the Latinx community, the disparity is even greater. In the context of this study, the percentage of Latinx students is more than 70%, while the percentage of Latinx educators is less than one percent. This context provided an opportunity to gain knowledge from educators who learned and worked in spaces where they were both overrepresented and underrepresented. This qualitative research study explored the experiences of five Latina educators as they traversed educational institutions and followed their career pathways into the field of education. A multilayered data analysis utilizing the lenses of Critical Race Theory, Latinx Critical Race Theory, and Community Cultural Wealth uncovered how the participants lived experiences related to family, education, motivation, support networks, language, career pathways, encounters with injustice, and work as educators. Additionally, the testimonios exposed counternarratives, which highlighted the participants’ strengths and silenced realities. The findings suggest the need for social change, targeted professional development, social justice education, and increased efforts to attract and recruit Latinx educators in secondary schools.
Breaking Barriers and Bread to Build Bridges: How do Latina/o families and schools develop meaningful home-school relationships?
Authors:   , Shappell Cathy
Published: October 2024

There is a plethora of research that shows parental engagement is a key contributor to student success. The Latina/o population is the fastest-growing demographic group in our country. Statistical evidence supports that by the year 2050, one out of every three students in our public schools will identify as Latina/o (National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). Latina/o parents overwhelmingly identify education for their children as a top priority and hope to engage with schools to help improve the educational system and advocate for the needs of their children. However, there are significant barriers that still exist including language, logistical issues, and a lack of understanding of the operation of a school. The recent global pandemic has brought parent engagement to the forefront of our educational crisis, with parents becoming the teachers. We are sitting on the precipice of educational transformation. The time is now for families and schools to break bread, break barriers, and build bridges to unite as one through meaningful home-school relationships.
How Will I Thrive? Developing Designer Professional Identity Among Undergraduate Communication Design Students
Authors:   , Bosler Denise
Published: October 2024

A designer’s professional identity is constructed throughout a designer’s life and is developed through life experiences and education. While understanding the general importance of a professional identity is often clear to recent design graduates, developing it requires becoming self-aware of what traits constitutes designer professional identity (DPI). Kunrath, Cash and Yi-ling (2016) define DPI as the synthesis of personal attributes and design skills. However, the development of this full complement of DPI traits is often ignored and ill-supported in design education curriculum. A student’s DPI, if under-developed, can be a barrier to successfully transitioning from student to professional. Design educators have the opportunity to take the lead in developing a stronger sense of professional identity in their students. The primary purpose of the mixed methods study was to gain an understanding of how design educators can further develop a strong sense of DPI in university communication design students. The secondary purpose was to determine how CD students develop their sense of designer professional identity and what factors contribute to its development. The results of this study build upon the body of research surrounding design education and identifies areas that can improve the holistic development of students’ DPI.
Changed Agents: Cultivating Students’ Civic Identity Through Participation in a Social Justice-Themed Book Club as a Subversive Approach to Critical Literacy in Education
Authors:   , Schucker Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

Through an embedded social justice-themed book club and approach to subversive critical literacy experiences, students gain the necessary skills-based knowledge, which cultivate civic awareness, identity, and civic agency, inviting them to develop perspective of real-world issues and concerns. Transformative teaching practices engage teachers and students in the joy of the partnership model as social justice-themed texts provide the opportunity for liberation and synthesis. The students who participate in the social justice-themed book club acknowledge and welcome the discourse as co-investigators in the real-world inquiry. While engaging in twelve authentic literacy-based subversive experiences, students challenge their own opinions and cultivate a deeper sense of civic agency. This mixed-methods action research study demonstrates how inquiry-based culturally responsive frameworks support fourth-grade students in their cultivated growth as civic change agents that go beyond isolated skill building and test preparations. When educational opportunities align with the real world, presented through subversive approaches to critical literacy in education, the role of literacy takes on new meaning and purpose. Through this transformational teaching and learning opportunity, empowered students and teachers evolve as critically conscious civic ‘changed agents’.

Published: October 2024

Artificial intelligence, a rather suitable machinery in today’s fast paced world. AI is a field of research in Computer Science that develops study methods and softwares that perceive or collect environmental data from their surroundings. We may not know it, but AI is a huge part of our lives now, and we interact with them on a daily basis. It may be one that performs one task repeatedly, like a washing machine, or another that performs multi tasks, such as computers and phones. This paper focuses on how human beings perceive AI, and how these systems are affecting our daily life style as well as our thinking process. What makes human beings different from other beings is the ability to dream, create and perform as well as feel. In today’s time, all I see are the various tools that are there to enhance our creativity to create something extraordinary. But perhaps these tools are also used in such a manner that users are feeling doubtful? In such a manner that the users are not ready to use their own imagination? A user who forgets how to socialise properly with real people? This paper is about how researchers can prioritise data collection and make predictions for the future we share

with AI.
