Published: October 2020

La preocupación por aumentar la motivación del alumnado hacia la asignatura de música en la Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria y convertirla en un catalizador del talento individual de cada alumno ha llevado a los docentes a aplicar metodologías alternativas en el aula, entre ellas el Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP).El presente artículo analiza la implementación de una propuesta de aplicación de la metodología ABP en el aula de música de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria llevada a cabo durante el año 2018 en el Instituto “Sa Blanca Dona” (Ibiza). Partiendo de una breve revisión bibliográfica sobre la aplicación del ABP en el aula de música, se procede a realizar un estudio exploratorio de diseño dependiente de medidas repetidas, que pretende describir la relación existente entre los niveles de motivación del alumnado y el citado método de enseñanza - aprendizaje. A través de instrumentos de análisis cuantitativos y cualitativos comprobamos que la aplicación de dicha estrategia educativa potencia la motivación del alumnado, quien, en consecuencia, aumenta el grado de satisfacción durante el proceso de aprendizaje, mejora sus calificaciones y desarrolla habilidades relacionales.
Efficacy of an interactive apparatus as environmental enrichment for common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
Authors: Lauderdale LK , Miller LJ 
Published: October 2020

AbstractEnvironmental enrichment is a key component in improving the psychological and physiological well-being of animals under professional care. Environmental enrichment involves the addition of stimuli, including objects and cognitive challenges, into the environment in order to increase species-specific behaviour and provide opportunities for choice and control. The effectiveness of enrichment should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if the desired result has been achieved. Environmental enrichment devices (EEDs) can be utilised to present novel problems to animals under professional care. Here, a submerged interactive cognitive apparatus was presented to eight bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) five days a week for 18 weeks and behavioural indicators of animal welfare assessed. As a group, dolphins spent more time in social swims compared to solitary swims and more time at the bottom of the habitat than the middle or top throughout the day, even when the apparatus was not immediately available. Individuals’ differences were apparent in the type and amount of engagement with the apparatus. Three dolphins engaged with the apparatus by solving it or consuming the reward. Two dolphins, D4 and D8, engaged simultaneously with the apparatus and participated in more social swimming with each other. D4 solved the interactive apparatus and engaged in more social active and solitary active behaviours. D1 and D4 increased their use of the bottom of the habitat. This study is the first report of underwater enrichment increasing dolphins time at depth throughout the day even when the enrichment device is not available. The interactive apparatus was an effective form of enrichment for dolphins participating in successful trials.
On-farm testing of dairy calves’ avoidance response to human approach: Effects of sex, age and test order
Authors: Ellingsen-Dalskau K , Dean KR , Rousing T 
Published: October 2020

AbstractHuman approach tests are generally accepted as valid measures of the human-animal relationship and hence are widely included in on-farm welfare assessment protocols. Most measures of avoidance response to human approach in production animals have been developed and tested under experimental conditions rather than on commercial farms, thereby making the results less relevant for operational on-farm animal welfare assessment. By contrast, the current study was conducted on calves in their home pens. On 110 Norwegian dairy farms, 548 group-housed calves (aged 22-288 days) were tested individually for their behavioural response to an unfamiliar human approach by a single test person. To conduct the test, the respective calf manager administered concentrates to the manger, followed by the test person who approached each animal in turn in a standardised manner. The avoidance response of the individual calf was categorised as 0 to 5 (maximal to no avoidance) in reaction to an attempted approach and head touch by the test person. The statistical analyses showed that heifer calves were more avoidant compared to bull calves, as were younger bulls compared to older bulls, and that overall avoidance increased in calves that were not tested first.
Efficiency of measures for sow husbandry: Integrating farm income, animal welfare and public attitudes

Published: October 2020

AbstractIn response to the public's concerns about animal welfare in swine husbandry, the pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) sector introduced improved measures to focus on single rather than multiple dimensions of animal welfare concerns without accounting for their impact on public attitudes. These measures failed to improve attitudes to pig husbandry. The present study uses a more comprehensive approach by evaluating animal welfare measures in terms of their effect on animal welfare, farm income and public attitudes. Four measures were defined for each of the following societal aspects of sow husbandry: piglet mortality; tail biting and the indoor housing of gestating sows. A simulation model was developed to estimate the effects of the measures and Data Envelopment Analysis used to compare measures in terms of their effects on animal welfare, farm income and public attitudes. Only piglet mortality measures were found to have a positive effect on farm income but they showed a relatively low effect on animal welfare and public attitudes. The most efficient measure was that which included straw provision, daylight and increased group sizes for gestating sows. The level of improvement of a measure on animal welfare did not necessarily equate to the same level of improvement in public attitudes or decrease in farm income.
Les établissements d’enseignement supérieur catholiques au Canada : d’hier à aujourd’hui
Authors: Hurtubise Pierre 
Published: October 2020

Les institutions d’enseignement supérieur catholiques nées en sol canadien, les unes dès le XIXe siècle, les autres au siècle suivant, ont connu jusqu’aux années 1960 un essor considérable leur permettant d’occuper une place enviable dans le paysage universitaire canadien. Mais la profonde mutation socioculturelle à laquelle le Canada comme tant d’autres pays a dû faire face à partir de ce moment n’a pas été sans affecter ces institutions en termes aussi bien économiques qu’identitaires. Les plus importantes d’entre elles devront assez rapidement se résigner à renoncer à leur caractère confessionnel, dans certains cas par manque de ressources financières, dans d’autres par la simple prise de conscience qu’elles n’étaient plus de fait catholiques. Seules quelques institutions, pour la plupart modestes, réussiront à rester fidèles à leur vocation de départ, et cela, grâce, pour la plupart, à leurs statuts d’institutions fédérées ou affiliées à l’une ou l’autre des grandes universités publiques existantes par le truchement desquelles il leur sera possible d’obtenir des subsides de l’État. Leur avenir n’est pas pour autant assuré.
Model for the Development of a Specialized Dark Tourist Product
Authors: Šerić Neven , Mihanović Ante , Tolj Ante 
Published: October 2020

Dark tourist facilities are a modern tourism phenomenon. Although dark tourism is conceptually associated with the legal inconsistency of tourism, it is based on content related to human suffering. Tourist interest in dark tourist products is growing, and such contents have become a part of standard tourist packages in the markets where such offer exists. Despite their proven contribution to destination differentiation and competitiveness, potential resources for the development of dark tourist facilities are often neglected due to tourist workers lacking the knowledge requisite for the development of specialized tourism products. Unsustainable approach to the development of specialized tourism products results in focus on content, that ignores the broader benefits of an integrated destination product. In the case of dark tourism products, socio-cultural and tantalogic consequences are particularly problematic, as dark tourist offer is particularly sensitive to the ethical standards of the general public. The result is that visitors and organizers of such tourist packages are frequently given negative publicity. In spite of the growing global interest in the dark tourism offer, its development is slow and modest due to the above-mentioned risks and insufficient education in the tourist industry. The existing global supply often ignores some of the potential benefits of implementation of such content into a destination’s and national integrated tourism product. In an attempt to clear up doubts, and provide examples of positive and negative experiences from the global tourism practice, the authors carried out several studies based on which they devised a framework model for the development of a dark tourism product with recommended variables of significant impact.

Aims: The aim of the study was to assess menstrual hygiene practices and examine access to sanitary materials and facilities and how they influence effective menstrual practices and management among girls in Kibera slum Kenya. To achieve this cross-sectional study was conducted in mixed day secondary schools.
Methodology: A cross – sectional study design was adopted. Simple random was used to select 25% of public schools and 25% of private schools with a population of 1778 girls. Fisher’s sample size formula was used to select 384 respondents. The study was conducted in Kibera slums, Nairobi Kenya. Data on factors influencing effective menstrual practices and management among girls in Kibera slum was obtained through interviewer administered questionnaires. Chi-square test of independence, Pearson’s correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used using IBM® SPSS® Statistics 20.
Results: Menstrual management amongst the 355 secondary going girls in Kibera slums with a median age of 16 years was influenced by menstrual hygiene practices and access to sanitary materials and facilities. These two factors accounted for up to 75.3% as indicated in the regression model. Of the two factors access to sanitary facilities and materials had the greatest influence on menstrual management (β = 0.842 p < 0.05) while menstrual hygiene practices had the least effect (β = 0.089 p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Our study identified that menstrual hygiene practices and access to sanitary materials influenced effective menstrual practices and management among girls in Kibera.

Aims: Diarrhoea and pneumonia are serious global public health problems affecting child survival especially in the developing countries. The study aimed to assess the indirect effect of hand washing campaign during COVID risk communication and community engagement on diarrhoea and respiratory infection among children under five.
Study Design: This was both cross sectional survey and retrospective chart review.
Place and Duration of Study: Jijiga Town of Somali Region, Ethiopia between November 2019 and 30th June 2020.
Methodology: Handwashing practices among the households and the reported number of diarrhoea and acute respiratory infection in the District Health Information System (DHIS) database 4 months before and 4 months during COVID 19 risk communication handwashing campaign was assessed and paired t test used to determine the effect of the campaign on diarrhoea and respiratory illness at a significant level of 5%.
Results: 255(44%) of the 580 households had basic hand washing facilities, however 171 (67.1%) of the 255 households with hand washing facilities demonstrated appropriate hand washing techniques. The percentage mean reduction in the number of children under five treated for acute respiratory infection and diarrhoea before and during the campaign was 6.49% and 11.5% though not statistically significant with p value = 0.778 and 0.3952 respectively.
Conclusion: The study reaffirmed the effect of proper hand washing practices on the reduction of episodes of diarrhoea and acute respiratory infection among children which ultimately will contribute to reducing child mortality and shows that COVID interventions and investment could be used to support and strengthen non COVID routine health services.
Transcription factors and ABC transporters: from pleiotropic drug resistance to cellular signaling in yeast
Authors: Buechel Evan R. , Pinkett Heather W. 
Published: October 2020

Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae survives in microenvironments utilizing networks of regulators and ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters to circumvent toxins and a variety of drugs. Our understanding of transcriptional regulation of ABC transporters in yeast is mainly derived from the study of multidrug resistance protein networks. Over the past two decades, this research has not only expanded the role of transcriptional regulators in pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) but evolved to include the role that regulators play in cellular signaling and environmental adaptation. Inspection of the gene networks of the transcriptional regulators and characterization of the ABC transporters has clarified that they also contribute to environmental adaptation by controlling plasma membrane composition, toxic‐metal sequestration, and oxidative stress adaptation. Additionally, ABC transporters and their regulators appear to be involved in cellular signaling for adaptation of S. cerevisiae populations to nutrient availability. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the S. cerevisiae transcriptional regulatory networks and highlight recent work in other notable fungal organisms, underlining the expansion of the study of these gene networks across the kingdom fungi.

AbstractObjectiveAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem disorder associated with motor impairment and behavioral/cognitive involvement. We examined decision‐making features and changes in the neural hub network in patients with ALS using a probabilistic reversal learning task and resting‐state network analysis, respectively.MethodsNinety ALS patients and 127 cognitively normal participants performed this task. Data from 62 ALS patients and 63 control participants were fitted to a Q‐learning model.ResultsALS patients had anomalous decision‐making features with little shift in choice until they thought the value of the two alternatives had become equal. The quantified parameters (Pαβ) calculated by logistic regression analysis with learning rate and inverse temperature well represented the unique choice pattern of ALS patients. Resting‐state network analysis demonstrated a strong correlation between Pαβ and decreased degree centrality in the anterior cingulate gyrus and frontal pole.InterpretationAltered decision‐making in ALS patients may be related to the decreased hub function of medial prefrontal areas.

AbstractThe production of large scaffold‐free tissues is a key challenge in regenerative medicine. Nowadays, temperature‐responsive polymers allow intact tissue harvesting without needing proteolytic enzymes. This method is limited to tissue culture plastic with limited upscaling capacity and plain process control. Here, a thermoresponsive hollow fiber membrane bioreactor is presented to produce large scaffold‐free tissues. Intact tissues, rich in cell‐to‐cell connections and ECM, are harvested from a poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam) microgel functionalized poly(ether sulfone)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) hollow fiber membrane by a temperature shift. The harvested 3D tissues adhere in successive cultivation and exhibit high vitality for several days. The facile adsorptive coating waives the need for extensive surface treatment. The research is anticipated to be a starting point for upscaling the production of interconnected tissues enabling new opportunities in regenerative medicine, large‐scale drug screening on physiological relevant tissues, and potentially opening new chances in cell‐based therapies.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe exploration of n‐type PbTe as thermoelectric materials always falls behind its p‐type counterpart, mainly due to their quite different electronic band structure. In this work, elemental Sb and Cu2Te are introduced into an n‐type base material (PbTe)81‐Sb2Te3. The introduction of extra Sb can effectively tune the concentration of electrons; meanwhile, Sb precipitates can also scatter low‐energy electrons (negatively contribute to the Seebeck coefficient) thus enhance the overall Seebeck coefficient. The added Cu2Te is found to always co‐precipitate with Sb, forming an interesting Sb/CuTe core/shell structure; moreover, the interface between core/shell precipitates and PbTe matrix simultaneously shows coherent lattice and strong strain contrast, beneficial for electron transport but adverse to phonon transport. Eventually, a peak figure of merit ZTmax ≈ 1.6 @ 823K and simultaneously an average ZT ≈ 1.0 (323–823 K) are realized in the (PbTe)81Sb2Te3‐0.6Sb‐2Cu2Te sample, representing the state of the art for n‐type PbTe‐based thermoelectric materials. Moreover, for the first time the three existing forms of Cu atoms in Cu2Te alloyed PbTe are unambiguously clarified with aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs‐STEM).

AbstractA series of cyclohexyl‐fused SPINOL‐derived phosphoric acids (Cy‐SPA) have been developed to catalyze the kinetic resolution of 2‐N‐acylamido tertiary allylic alcohols, providing access to chiral oxazolines bearing C‐2 alkyl substituents with high enantioselectivities (with s‐factors up to 153). Gram‐scale reaction with 1 mol% catalyst loading and transformations of the chiral products demonstrates the value of these methods.magnified image
Interactions between home, work, and sleep among firefighters

Published: October 2020

AbstractBackgroundFirefighters endure large occupational burdens and generally operate under conditions of chronic sleep deficiency and circadian disruption due to long shifts, plus interrupted sleep due to emergency calls during the night. A typical shift for firefighters is 24‐h on/48‐h off, and firefighters are expected to use time‐off to recover from any sleep debt, while balancing social, family, and home responsibilities. This qualitative study sets out to assess family dynamics and how firefighters prioritize sleep and recovery at home based on relationship or family status, as well as a fire department's current shift schedule.MethodsFocus groups were conducted via convenience sampling in Portland, OR, with full‐time firefighters, battalion chiefs, and their spouses. Grounded theory, using NVivo 12 Plus, was used to code transcripts to reveal reoccurring concepts and themes.ResultsMajor themes centered around the increase of nonemergent calls contributing to compassion fatigue. Spouses can help improve the sleep of firefighters by creating opportunities for recuperative sleep at home. However, spouses also conveyed underlying tones of “resentment” relating to their firefighter being unavailable for emotional and instrumental support. While married firefighters discussed choosing family and home obligations over reducing sleep debt to maintain relationships, single and divorced firefighters spoke of fewer conflicts impeding their ability to prioritize sleep at home.ConclusionsThese results improve our understanding of how firefighters prioritize sleep at home based on family dynamics and can inform future decision‐making for fire departments in addressing concerns related to work–family conflict, sleep loss, and compassion fatigue among their members.
