Published: October 2020

Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo se basó en determinar si esta relación se favorece con la aplicación del Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP). Métodos: una primera etapa corresponde al diagnóstico de necesidades, sobre la base de una encuesta y una entrevista a grupo focal. En una segunda etapa de Investigación-Acción, se aplicó la metodología del ABP y se evaluó la misma con un cuestionario de guías de Co y Auto -evaluación y además con una guía de observación directa. Resultados: los estudiantes manifestaron que los docentes están preparados y que el Hospital Univalle cuenta con buena estructura, sin embargo, bajo un trabajo excesivo, de difícil adaptación y hasta con una mala relación con el docente, admitieron otras limitantes, como el cansancio de algunos pacientes por tantos periodos de anamnesis, el poco interés de los propios docentes y la aplicación de castigos por algunas fallas, asociados a una posición imponente de los docentes, generando “temor”. Conclusión: La aplicación del ABP en los procesos educativos es recomendable, con horarios accesibles, con adecuada estructura y un cronograma de trabajo, donde se debe instruir, preparar al estudiante y docentes. Toda esta innovación, permite la articulación de la teoría y la práctica, algunas limitaciones son la dificultad en el cumplimiento de la planificación, falta de hábito de los estudiantes y docentes, prefiriendo en muchas oportunidades las clases magistrales.
The Global Space-based Stratospheric Aerosol Climatology (version 2.0): 1979–2018

Published: October 2020

Abstract. A robust stratospheric aerosol climate data record enables the depiction of the radiative forcing of this highly variable component of climate. In addition to the radiative forcing, stratospheric aerosol also plays a key role in the chemical processes leading to ozone depletion. Therefore, stratospheric aerosol is one of the crucial parameters in understanding climate change in the past and potential changes in the future. As a part of Stratospheric-tropospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC) Stratospheric Sulfur and its Role in Climate (SSiRC) activity, the Global Space-based Stratospheric Aerosol Climatology (GloSSAC) was created (Thomason et al., 2018) to support the World Climate Research Programme's (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) (Eyring et al., 2016). This data set is a follow-on to one created as a part of SPARC's Assessment of Stratospheric Aerosol Properties (ASAP) activity (SPARC, 2006) and a data created for the Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) in 2012 (Eyring and Lamarque, 2012). Herein, we discuss changes to the original release version including those as a part of v1.1 that was released in September 2018 that primarily corrects an error in the conversion of Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES) data to Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II wavelengths, as well as the new release, v2.0. Version 2.0 is focused on improving the post-SAGE II era (after 2005) with the goal of mitigating elevated aerosol extinction in the lower stratosphere at mid- and high latitudes noted in v1.0 as noted in Thomason et al. (2018). Changes include the use of version 7.0 of the Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS), the recently released Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar Level 3 stratospheric aerosol profile monthly product and the new addition of SAGE III/ISS. Here, we use an observed relationship between (i) OSIRIS extinction at 750 nm and (ii) SAGE II and SAGE III/ISS extinction at 525 nm to derive an altitude–latitude-based monthly climatology of Ångström exponent to compute OSIRIS extinction at 525 nm, resulting in a better agreement between OSIRIS and SAGE measurements. We employ a similar approach to convert OSIRIS 750 nm extinction to 1020 nm extinction for the post-SAGE II period. Additionally, we incorporate the recently released standard CALIPSO stratospheric aerosol profile monthly product into GloSSAC with an improved conversion technique of the 532 nm backscatter coefficient to extinction using an observed relationship between OSIRIS 525 nm extinction and CALIPSO 532 nm backscatter. SAGE III/ISS data are also incorporated in GloSSAC to extend the climatology to the present and to test the approach used to correct OSIRIS/CALIPSO data. The GloSSAC v2.0 netCDF file is accessible at https://doi.org/10.5067/glossac-l3-v2.0 (Thomason, 2020).
Using an Innovative Intervention to Promote Active Learning in an Introductory Microbiology Course
Authors: Bull Harold , Premkumar Kalyani , Acharibasam Jeremiah Wezenamo 
Published: October 2020

We found that actively engaging students in our introductory microbiology course was a challenge given our large class sizes and many non-majors taking the course as a program requirement. Therefore, we introduced a novel active learning strategy to our course. Students grouped into teams of three had to create PowerPoint virtual posters on one of three themes: (a) a report on a microbe or immunology story in the news, b) interview a research scientist, or c) research a microbiological topic of their choice. To assess the intervention’s effectiveness, a pre- and post-course assessment was done. Pre-posttest analysis revealed a significant drop in surface learning and rise in deep learning. Also, there was a drop in the extrinsic (grade-dependent) goal orientation and affective (test anxiety) components. We found a decline in task value, self-efficacy for learning and performance, organization, critical thinking, time and study environment, and help seeking in students’ post-test scores. Qualitative findings also indicated the importance of group activity, gaining extra knowledge outside the curriculum, and long-term course content retention. In conclusion, we propose that the creation of digital posters in teams is an effective strategy to increase student engagement in large classes.

Published: October 2020

The crisis caused by the COVID-19 has awakened the fear of forgetting the fight against Climate Change coming up with a number of initiatives demanding to accelerate the European Green Deal, as the best way out of the crisis.
Offshore renewable energy sources, including offshore wind, wave power and tidal streams, might play a crucial role in meeting low-carbon energy scenarios, which is one of the six key principles of the Green Recovery, contributing at the same time to economic growth and job creation. However, continuous cost reduction is needed to achieve more efficient and competitive technologies in comparison to other energy sources. Design tools can help to accelerate cost reduction in early stages of technology development or deployment project planning.
This article shows some examples of design tools developed within four European funded R&D projects:
•	DTOcean and DTOceanPlus provide advanced design tools for ocean energy systems innovation, development and deployment
•	LIFES50+ proves cost effective technology for floating substructures for 10MW wind turbines at water depths greater than 50 m
•	OPERA collects, analyses and shares open-sea operating data and experience to validate and de-risk several industrial innovations for wave energy
The design tools presented in this article cover different stages of technology or project development:
•	Multi-physics numerical modelling tools for the design of floating offshore wind turbines
•	Decision-making tools during the planning phase of offshore wind or ocean energy farms
•	Structured innovation and stage gate tools for the evaluation of innovations for offshore renewables at early stages of development
The reader will be able to find out references to useful open source tools and public documents produced by these projects.

Aim: To identify the best planting time for obtaining higher seed yield and quality of Soybean in off season.
Study Design: Randomized completely block design (RCBD)
Place and Duration of Study: Agricultural Research Station, Halladkere, Bidar, Karnataka between 2016 and 2017.
Methodology: A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Halladkere, Bidar to find out the best off season planting time for quality seed production of Soybean. The certified seeds of soybean varieties, JS-335 and Dsb-21 were sown with recommended package of practices at appropriate field condition from November to February at every fortnight with a spacing of 30 cm X 10 cm. The quality parameters related to seed were carried out in the laboratory of seed science department. Further, soybean seeds were treated with fungicide (carbendazim 25% + mancozeb 75%) at the rate of 3 gram per kg of seeds.
Results: From the present investigation, it was observed that among the different sowing dates, soybean varieties (JS 335 and DSb 21) sown during 1st fortnight of November recorded significantly higher plant growth parameters as well as seed yield followed by 2nd fortnight of November during off season. Further, climatic factors like rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature and relative humidity played a major role in the off season to produce higher seed yield and quality of Soybean.
Conclusion: Among various sowing dates, November 1st Fortnight sowing resulted in highest seed yield with better seed quality in both cultivars (JS-335 and Dsb-21) of soybean.

Rainfall is one of the most important climatic variables that determine the spatial and temporal patterns of climate variability of a region, which also provides useful information for the planning of water resources, agricultural production, and others. Climate change is one of the most significant worldwide issues talked among scientists and researchers, and one of the consequences of climate change is the alteration of rainfall patterns. 'India's population and the economy is linked to climate-sensitive activities, including rainfed agriculture and excess climate anomalies, deficient and flooded rainfall years have a dramatic impact on the economy as well as on the living conditions of the inhabitants of the affected region. An understanding of current and historical trends and variation is inevitable to her future development, especially in agricultural and hydrological sectors. In the present study, historical weather data for 33 years (1981-2013) was analyzed for rainfed cropping season (September - December) to understand the climatic variability in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu. The maximum daily air temperature increased on average by 0.02°C per year, whereas minimum daily air temperature remained constant during the rainfed cropping season. The high rainfall zone receives an annual and rainfed cropping average rainfall of 1307and 672 mm, respectively. Analysis of rainfall during rainfed cropping period over 33 years showed ten years had standard RF, nine years had deficit rainfall, six years had below standard RF, one year had above standard RF and seven years had excess RF. Analysis indicates that the deficit condition prevailed in every alternate year in recent decades. The onset of rainfed cropping season varied over the years (1981-2013), 13 years had onset in the slot from 1st to 5th September, and in others, years onset occurred between 6 and 30th September. Cessation also had a variation over 33 years and 16 years had cessation from 26 to 31st December while remaining years had cessation in the period of 1-25th December. LGP ranged from 57 to 143 days, with an average LGP of 106 days. Dry spell varied from 3 to 12 days with the mean of 6 days, and wet spell varied from 2 to 8 days with an average of 5 days.

Introduction: Breast cancer is among the leading causes of death among women globally. Its mortality and morbidity are highest in Africa despite the low prevalence. Sadly, breast screening has never been taking seriously in this region thus rendering management of the disease difficult. The study is designed to determine the knowledge and practice of breast screening among rural women in Imo State, Nigeria.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted using a multi-stage sampling technique to select 258 women from a sampled households. A pretested semi structured questionnaire was used for data collection and data analysis was done using mean scores and percentages.
Results: The result showed that 87.3% of the women was aware of breast cancer and the dominant sources of information on the disease were radio/television (91.0%), internet (88.0%), friends (85.0%) and newspapers/magazines (79.0%). It was further found that most (83.7%) of the women knew that breast cancer affected only the breast, 76.7% knew that breast cancer can be detected by breast self-examination and screening. Also, 96.1% of the women knew that breast cancer affects only women while 84.9% knew it can only be detected in the hospital/clinic. On the practice of breast screening, the majority (79.5%) of the women indicated they had not been screened whereas only 5.0% had been screened. However, the result revealed that breast self-examination (92.3%) was the most popular screening method among the women followed by clinical breast examination (7.8%). It was also found that 79.5% of the women had been screened more than once in a year whereas 15.5% were not sure the number of times they had been screened.
Conclusion: The study concludes, that in spite of the awareness and high knowledge of breast cancer and importance of screening in the area, the practice of breast screening among the women was very low. It is therefore, recommended sensitization campaigns on breast screening be intensified in rural areas.

AbstractObjectiveNeuromodulatory anterior thalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy for intractable epilepsy, but few patients achieve complete seizure control with thalamic DBS. Other stimulation sites may be considered for anti‐seizure DBS. We investigated bilateral low‐frequency stimulation of the endopiriform nuclei (LFS‐EPN) to control seizures induced by intracortically implanted cobalt wire in rats.MethodsChronic epilepsy was induced by cobalt wire implantation in the motor cortex unilaterally. Bipolar‐stimulating electrodes were implanted into the EPN bilaterally. Continuous electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded using electrodes placed into bilateral motor cortex and hippocampus CA1 areas. Spontaneous seizures were monitored by long‐term video‐EEG, and behavioral seizures were classified based on the Racine scale. Continuous 1‐Hz LFS‐EPN began on the third day after electrode implantation and was controlled by a multi‐channel stimulator. Stimulation continued until the rats had no seizures for three consecutive days.ResultsCompared with the control and sham stimulation groups, the LFS‐EPN group experienced significantly fewer seizures per day and the mean Racine score of seizures was lower due to fewer generalized seizures. Ictal discharges at the epileptogenic site had significantly reduced theta band power in the LFS‐EPN group compared to the other groups.InterpretationBilateral LFS‐EPN attenuates cobalt wire‐induced seizures in rats by modulating epileptic networks. Reduced ictal theta power of the EEG broadband spectrum at the lesion site may be associated with the anti‐epileptogenic mechanism of LFS‐EPN. Bilateral EPN DBS may have therapeutic applications in human partial epilepsies.
