Authors: Thompson Wade , Le Jette Videbæk , Haastrup Peter , Nielsen Jesper Bo , Pedersen Line Bjørnskov , Jarbøl Dorte Ejg 
Published: April 2020

BackgroundGiven uncertainty surrounding benefits and harms, shifts in patient health status, and changing patient goals and preferences, statin deprescribing may be considered in some older people. This decision should be carefully discussed between GPs and patients.AimTo explore how GPs discuss deprescribing of statins with their older patients.Design & settingA qualitative study was undertaken using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews with Danish GPs from the regions of Southern Demark and Zealand.MethodThe GP participants belonged to group practices and were identified from personal networks and snowballing. The interviews lasted approximately 30 minutes and were conducted in English. They were analysed using systematic text condensation.ResultsA total of 11 GPs were interviewed and three themes were identified. (1) Reason for initiating a discussion: statin deprescribing mainly came up when GPs reviewed medication lists. There were differences between GPs regarding when or if they brought up deprescribing. (2) Discussion topics: GPs often discussed their interpretation of evidence surrounding statin use in older people. There were differences in how and if GPs discussed patient preferences. GPs viewed uncertainty and life expectancy as difficult to discuss. (3) Depth of discussion: the perceived level of patient engagement, and clinical context, could influence the extent of discussion.ConclusionGPs identified a range of topics that could be discussed with patients surrounding statin deprescribing. The depth and content of discussions varied according to the situation, and between GPs. Challenges may exist in communicating around certain topics, such as uncertainty and life expectancy. Further understanding of how to best communicate around challenging topics, and development of structured frameworks, may help facilitate statin deprescribing discussions. Identifying what patients think is important to discuss would provide necessary insight to promote quality discussions and shared understanding of the decision.

Authors: N. Salindo Randolf Von , Adnan Mustafa Saed 
Published: April 2020

Owing to the relatively small area and the decreasing natural resources of the Kingdom of Bahrain, businesses are searching for supply chains that are both sustainable and Greenly friendly. This study was conducted to determine the level of implementation of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices and the effect of these SSCM activities on the efficiency of supply chain companies in Bahrain. Bahraini companies are adopting two classes of SSCM practices: Renewable Packaging and Green Procurement. Five key components that make up the overall SSCM performance of the respondent firms were identified: Operational Performance, Efficiency, Green Performance; Corporate Social Responsibility; and Socio-economic Performance. The use of recyclable materials as packaging and the option of using only items that are safe at their end-of-life have a direct, positive and more importantly, significant impact on operational efficiency. Sustainable SSCM practices of Bahraini firms have a positive and significant impact on their sustainable supply chain efficiency.

Authors: Zaitseva O.V. , Barakova N.V. 
Published: April 2020

В статье представлены результаты сравнительных исследований динамики физиологического состояния дрожжевой биомассы и накопления спирта при сбраживании ячменного сусла (с массовой долей сухих веществ 21-22) с использованием препарата АСД DistilaMax GW при различных способах перемешивания бродящей среды. Показано, что использование пневматического способа перемешивания способствует большему накоплению биомассы жизнеспособных клеток, по сравнению с механическим перемешиванием на 5, при реализации брожения без перемешивания на 7,1 . В отношении выхода спирта, как механический, так и пневматический способы перемешивания бродящий среды, эффективнее на 9 относительно осуществления процесса брожения без перемешивания. Учитывая, что стоимость оборудования для пневматического перемешивания дешевле, чем для механического, результаты исследований дают основания предполагать экономические преимущества получения спирта из зернового сырья, при использовании пневматического способа перемешивания бродящей среды.The study compared the dynamics of yeast biomass physiological state and alcohol accumulation during barley wort fermentation (with dry solids weight ratio at 21-22) using the ADY DistilaMax GW preparation and various fermenting medium mixing methods. The paper summarizes the study findings. It has been demonstrated that pneumatic mixing method ensures a 5 increase in the accumulation of viable cells biomass as compared to mechanical mixing method, and a 7.1 increase when no mixing was performed during fermentation. As to the alcohol output, both mechanical and pneumatic fermenting medium mixing methods demonstrated a 9 increase in the effectiveness when fermentation was conducted without mixing. Considering the fact that pneumatic mixing equipment is cheaper than the mechanical one, the research findings suggest economic advantages of grain alcohol production using pneumatic method for mixing of the fermenting medium.

Introdução: As unhas são um anexo da pele com características específicas. Elas têm uma superfície lisa e brilhante, uma cor rosa avermelhada, conferida pela vascularização do leito, já que a lâmina ungueal é translúcida, de espessura e consistência firmes. Apresentam uma curvatura bem definida para conseguirem estar fixas na zona distal do dedo e para acompanhar a forma anatómica do dedo e da falange distal. Anatomicamente, são constituídas por vários elementos, cada um com as suas especificidades. A sua função está muito para além da estética, aliás, sobretudo as unhas dos pés são um elemento crucial para a manutenção da normal morfologia do dedo, contribuem para a normal biomecânica da locomoção fixando firmemente o hallux ao solo e alavancando o extensor longo do hallux. Muitas patologias acarretam modificações nas características anatómicas ungueais, infeciosas ou não, muitas são as patologias que cursam com onicodistrofias. A Exostose Subungueal (ES) é definida como uma protuberância óssea presente na falange distal do hallux, sendo de etiologia desconhecida, de sintomatologia dolorosa e podendo provocar onicodistrofia. Objetivos: Estudar a prevalência da ES nas onicodistrofias do hallux; observar a relação da ES com o género e com a presença de dor; analisar a relação e a gravidade da ES com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) e com a faixa etária.

geopolitics of research in teaching and learning in the university in Latin America
Authors: Guzmán-Valenzuela Carolina 
Published: April 2020

Over recent decades, research and scholarship on teaching and learning in higher education have focused on (i) how to promote student learning in tertiary education through good teaching practices and (ii) on teaching and learning as an area of study of its own. However, there is a meta-component that needs to come into play: (iii) the geopolitics (de Sousa Santos 2014; Connell 2007) in which teaching and learning processes take place. In this paper, I take up this last aspect and offer a perspective on teaching and learning as geographically located in particular countries, focusing especially on the South and especially on Latin America. A search was conducted of papers on teaching and learning that were included in the Web of Science database, and produced by authors in Latin American universities, between 2000 and 2015. The findings show that the scholarly research on teaching and learning in mainstream journals is dynamic and growing in the region. However, it also shows that most of the academic productivity in the area draws on theories produced in the North and lacks a geopolitical perspective. These findings help to illuminate the challenges faced by researchers on teaching and learning in Latin America, and prompt reflection as to how to make more visible the knowledge produced in the South.

When art informs: challenging stereotypes in a multicultural educational setting in Botswana
Authors: Moahi Donlisha , Costandius Elmarie 
Published: April 2020

As classrooms become increasingly multicultural, authentic teaching and learning is essential to avoid the creation of a negative image of the ‘other’. Using a case study from a secondary school, an interpretive analysis was used to gain insight into how students made sense of their experiences and the significance of art as a platform to negotiate stigmas and stereotypes in class and school. The project generated space and context for students with different backgrounds to tell their stories and hear each other. Students revealed that language and dialects are also fundamental components of culture that should be supported by the education system. Art can be an especially effective catalyst for developing a critical awareness of issues of race, immigration, difference, and privilege. It is a platform for the negotiation and construction of meaning and could contribute towards removing the historic inequalities and injustices created by a stratified society.

Authors: Petrucka Pammla 
Published: April 2020

This reflective paper presents a contextual overview of doctoral supervision in low- and middle-income countries. It highlights several models or frameworks used in Western academic settings. Through a critical lens it considers a number of the opportunities and gaps, which may reframe and/or reform doctoral supervision in the low- and middle-income settings. It identifies a significant gap in the evidence and scholarship on the topic of graduate supervision in developing contexts. In the current and evolving higher education milieu and the global emergence of the knowledge economy, the topic of graduate supervision can no longer go without a serious and fulsome discussion.

Decolonizing nature/knowledge: indigenous environmental thought and feminist praxis
Authors: Ali Nosheen , Samnani Binish , Khan Abdul Wali , Khatoon Najmi , Ali Barkat , Asfundyar Sadia , Aslam Muhammad , Amirali Sumaira 
Published: April 2020

This faculty-student collaborative article is a result of a graduate seminar on ‘Environmental Education’ taught at the Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development in Karachi, and it illuminates new perspectives and pedagogies of nature from the global South, specifically South Asia. Drawing inspiration from feminist and indigenous thought, the narratives of ecology shared here center the place of emotions, experience, memory and spiritual intimacy, offering one means of decolonizing environmental studies and expanding our understanding of ‘environmental consciousness’. These narratives defy ontologies of nature-human separation, capturing not just the co-existence of animals, spirits and humans but their co-constitution. Such indigenous ecologies of knowledge and wisdom, we argue, offer a timely corrective to fragmented and exploitative constructions of the natural environment as mere resource, pleasure, or commodity, while providing a profound, alternative basis for a richly layered, spirited, environmental education.

Teaching and learning research in higher education in Colombia: a literature review
Authors: Reedy Alison Kay , Guerrero Farías María Lucía 
Published: April 2020

This paper presents a systematic review of the extent and nature of teaching and learning research in higher education in Colombia over the past two decades and shines light on a body of literature from the South that has been relatively invisible on the global stage. The study found that the volume of SOTL taking place in higher education in Colombia is greater than indicated by previous research, but is taking place unevenly across the higher education landscape. This paper explores the challenges faced by Colombian scholars in engaging in and publishing teaching and learning research. The findings show that while teaching and learning research is happening in higher education in Colombia there are major issues in identifying and locating that research due to a lack of consistent terminology to describe SOTL. The findings also show that the nature of research emerging from Colombia is highly aligned with the global North in terms of methods, methodologies and themes. This paper concludes with recommendations on how to make Colombian learning and teaching research more visible and to reflect to a greater extent the diversity and richness in teaching and learning that takes places in Colombia.
