Background Passenger Leukocytes (PLs) are implicated in both the direct and semi-direct pathways of allorecognition which is the process that underpins acute allograft rejection1. The majority of liver-derived PLs are short lived and predominantly impact early recipient immune responses2. Removal of PLs has been shown in kidney, lung and vascularised composite allografts to reduce early allograft damage and abrogate ejection3. We aimed to assess the use normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) to investigate PL kinetics and explore PL depletion strategies in donor livers.
Methods Porcine livers (N=4) procured in a donation after circulatory death (DCD) model were preserved with sequential static cold storage then NMP. During NMP, livers were subjected to repeated 20 min warm ischaemic hits (IH) followed by 30mins of NMP using a leukocyte depleted autologous RBC based perfusate. Leukocytes were quantified using the Sysmex® cell counter system and samples stored for flow cytometric analysis.
Results In total, 3.4x106 PLs are effluxed into the circuit immediately after initiation of NMP, this falls rapidly to 1.35x106 by 30 mins. Following the first IH, a further efflux of occurs with a peak of 3.74x106 occurring. The second IH also induced an efflux of cells (1.61x106) with lymphocytes representing the predominant leukocyte sub-type in each efflux.
Discussion During NMP, there is an inducible and reproducible efflux of graft derived PLs into the circuit that is composed of predominantly lymphocytes with unexpectedly low numbers of monocytes. Removal of these PLs from the perfusate during NMP may therefore be feasible using an in-line leukocyte-filter.

Published: November 2021

<p>In this study we present a method for the simultaneous interaction of many bilingual students by the use of tests. Its application was to fractions, where the difficulties were deemed to be the basis of a theoretical model. With this same theoretical model we created a teaching method for the teaching of fractions. First there was an evaluation of the situation, followed by the drawing up of a teaching scheme on themes of language to improve communication between pupil and teacher. Subsequent examination that there was an improvement in the students’ comprehension of fractions. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0863/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
SUBSIDIZED FREE DAY SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION PROGRAM AND ITS INFLUENCE ON GIRLS’ SCHOOL PARTICIPATION IN NANDI NORTH SUB-COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Jepnyango Grace , Cheboi Stephen Tomno 
Published: November 2021

<p>Despite the introduction of free primary education by the Government of Kenya in 2003 and subsequent subsidized secondary education in 2008, there are still challenges in access, retention and completion of girls in Nandi County. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of subsidized day secondary education program on girls’ school participation in Nandi North Sub-County, Kenya. The study adopted mixed method approach and descriptive survey research design. This study was guided by Education Production Function theory. The data were collected using questionnaires and interview schedules to obtain both quantitative and qualitative data from respective respondents. The target population comprised 20 head teachers, 60 class teachers and 1320 girls drawn from 20 public day secondary schools in the Nandi North Sub-County. From these populations, a sample of 20 head teachers, 60 class teachers and 396 girls were drawn using census method on head teachers and class teachers, and random sampling technique was used to select 30 percent of girls from one to form three. The study used questionnaires to collect data from the girls and class teachers and interviewed head teachers. The instruments were validated and a piloted questionnaire that obtained a reliable 0.78 Cronbach alpha test score used. Quantitative data obtained from the questionnaires have been analyzed to obtain frequencies and percentages. Qualitative data obtained from the interviewees have been analyzed thematically in accordance to the research questions. The study found out that inadequate funds allocated to girls and school infrastructural facilities affected girls’ participation in secondary school education to a great extent. However, in general, teaching and learning materials were adequate and enhanced instruction and students’ performance. The study therefore recommends that parents should complement government effort and that government should increase allocation of subsidy funds to students especially girls and disburse the funds in time to schools.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0809/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PARADOXICAL PRACTICES IN PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS: THE CASE OF A COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATION / PARADOXES ORGANISATIONNAL DANS LES ORGANISATIONS PUBLIQUES : CAS D'UNE ORGANISATION A CARACTERE COMMERCIAL ET INDUSTRIEL
Authors: Bazzine Fouad , Boujettou Hassane 
Published: November 2021

Public sector organizations are by nature complex multifunctional entities, attempting to reconcile partially conflicting objectives and considerations (Perrow, 1972). The advent of new public management (NPM) has only increased the number of paradoxes to be faced, since these new managerial requirements, focused on performance, efficiency and even profitability, were added to those, very present, linked to the essential principles of public action. In this study, we address the paradoxical nature of the daily work of proximity managers and identify strategies for managing the paradoxes they face. Our results confirmed two key points: 1) the presence of organizational paradoxes that affect the daily work of proximity managers; and 2) that proximity managers can respond to paradoxical tensions by applying different defensive and active approaches. They must then show a behavioral complexity that allows them to manage the paradoxes in order to take into account the multiplicity of tendencies that are expressed within the organization.

Les organisations du secteur public sont par nature des entités multifonctionnelles complexes, qui tentent de concilier des objectifs et des considérations partiellement contradictoires (Perrow, 1972). L’avènement du new public management (NPM) n’a fait qu’augmenter le nombre de paradoxes à affronter, puisque ces nouvelles exigences managériales axées sur la performance, l’efficience voire la rentabilité, venaient se rajouter à celles, bien présentes, liées aux principes essentiels de l’action publique.
Dans cette étude, nous abordons la nature paradoxale du travail quotidien des cadres de proximité et nous identifions les stratégies de gestion des paradoxes auxquels ils sont confrontés. Nos résultats ont permis de confirmer deux points essentiels : 1) la présence des paradoxes organisationnels qui se répercutent au niveau du travail quotidien des cadres de proximité; et 2) Ces derniers peuvent réagir aux tensions paradoxales en appliquant différentes défensives et actives. Ils doivent alors montrer une complexité comportementale leur permettant de gérer les paradoxes afin de prendre en compte la multiplicité des tendances qui s’expriment au sein de l’organisation.

SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF LEISURE TIME PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AMONG ADOLESCENTS IN NIGERIA
Authors: Oguntuase Solomon B. , Sun Yanlin , Apata Tolulope C. , Ogunsanya Jephtah O. 
Published: November 2021

<p>Despite the numerous benefits associated with leisure time physical activity (LTPA), it is quite worrisome that the habit of regularly engaging in LTPA is rare among Nigerians, especially among adolescents who are found in myriads of sedentary lifestyle behaviour as a result of technological and economical advancement. The present study examined socio-demographic and psychological determinants of LTPA among adolescents in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted and multistage sampling technique was employed to recruit 1200 adolescents (Male =59.7%; Female =40.3%; Age: 10-19years) from twelve secondary schools in Southwest States, Nigeria. Physical Activity Self-Efficacy for Adolescent (PASE), The Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS), Activity Questionnaire for Adults and Adolescents (AQuAA) and Self-developed Socio-demographic Questionnaire were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using statistics of frequency count, percentages &amp; Multiple Regression. The result of the study showed that socio-demographic (F(8,1191) = 4.980; p&lt; .05; R2 = .28) accounting for 28% of its variance and psychological factors (F (2,1197) =31014.342, p&lt; .05; R2 = .99) accounting for 99% of its variance) were significant. Based on the findings, adolescents in Southwest states in Nigeria do not meet the World Health Organization recommendations on physical activity. Both socio-demographic and psychological factors significantly determined LTPA and these factors could be taken into account in the development of interventions to increase LTPA levels throughout the life course among adolescents in Nigeria. </p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0852/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Farrell Keeley , Premji Zahra 
Published: November 2021

Two systematic reviews that met the inclusion criteria of this report were identified. Within these reviews, the clinical effectiveness of nabilone for the treatment of adult patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was evaluated in 1 relevant primary study. This single-arm, open-label study found that most patients with PTSD experienced total cessation or reduction of nightmares following treatment with nabilone. This study lacked a control group, limiting the certainty of these findings.
No evidence-based guidelines regarding the use of nabilone for the treatment of adult patients with PTSD were identified.

Introdução: Contraceptivos são métodos utilizados para evitar a gravidez, pois atuam impedindo a fecundação. Os anticoncepcionais hormonais orais, também chamados de pílulas anticoncepcionais são esteroides utilizados isoladamente ou em associação com a finalidade básica de impedir a concepção. Objetivo: O presente trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o uso de contraceptivos hormonais orais e os riscos associados ao sistema cardiovascular. Materiais e Método: A pesquisa é uma revisão de literatura bibliográfica de caráter exploratório que buscou dados nos seguintes bancos: PubMed (US National Library of Medicine), ScienceDirect, Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Mediline e Lilacs (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências Sociais e da Saúde) compreendidos entre 2010 e 2021. Os critérios de inclusão utilizados na pesquisa foram: artigos de revisão, estudos e casos clínicos (redigidos em português, inglês e espanhol). Como resultados foi possível levantar informações que venham elucidar os riscos do uso hiperbólico de contraceptivos hormonais orais, alertando as mulheres sobre os perigos do uso continuo desses medicamentos. Resultados: Os achados dessa revisão resultaram na certeza de que apesar de cumprirem sua finalidade (evitar a concepção ou tratar casos específicos de transtornos hormonais) os contraceptivos hormonais orais podem trazer riscos à saúde da mulher. Conclusão: Por meio disso, infere-se que o uso regular desses medicamentos deve ser minimizado com a finalidade de coibir danos imediatos ou futuros.

Published: November 2021

This project describes the creation of a single searchable resource during the pandemic, called the COVID-19 Best Evidence Front Door, with a primary goal of providing direct access to high-quality meta-analyses, literature syntheses, and clinical guidelines from a variety of trusted sources. The Front Door makes relevant evidence findable and accessible with a single search to aggregated evidence-based resources, optimizing time, discovery, and improved access to quality scientific evidence while reducing the burden of frontline health care providers and other knowledge-seekers in needing to separately identify, locate, and explore multiple websites.
Compared to What? Menstruation, Pregnancy, and the Complexities of Comparison
Authors: Waldman Emily Gold 
Published: November 2021

This piece explores the complexities of the comparative model as applied to sex discrimination claims that are connected to female biology. On the one hand, comparisons can be a useful and precise way to pinpoint discrimination. The notion that bandages and adult diapers are tax-exempt, while tampons and pads are not, brings the unfairness of the tampon tax into sharp relief: Why are those products for absorbing bodily fluids tax-free, when menstrual products are not? The same is true for a pregnant employee who can show that her request for a light-duty accommodation was denied while the identical light-duty request by another similarly-situated, non-pregnant employee was granted.
But the model also contains two traps. First, almost no comparison is perfect. There is often some potential for distinguishing and line-drawing, some way to argue that the comparison does not fully hold up. Second, the comparative model is itself inherently limiting. The biological processes of menstruation and pregnancy (along with menopause and breastfeeding, which this piece does not address) are closely intertwined with female sex and have no obvious analogues. Indeed, these processes impose specific challenges and needs that are not borne equally across the sexes. Yet the comparative model reductively suggests that if no products receive tax-exempt status, or if no employees receive accommodations for their inability to work, there is no sex discrimination issue at all. Although advocates cannot escape the current comparative framework within which they must work—and indeed should use it to their advantage when possible—we should all remain mindful of the framework’s ultimate limitations.

The piece begins by analyzing Young v. United Parcel Service, Inc., the 2015 Supreme Court case that grappled with how to apply the PDA’s comparison-based standard. I discuss how Young illustrates the complexities of comparison and unpack the compromise approach that emerged. I then consider the potential usefulness of the Young approach to the tampon tax cases, while acknowledging that they arise under the Equal Protection Clause rather than Title VII. I conclude with some broader reflections.
Closing Remarks
Authors: Hoag Alexis 
Published: November 2021

On November 20–21, 2020, the Columbia Journal of Race and Law hosted a virtual two-day symposium entitled How the Law Underdeveloped Racial Minorities in the United States. Broadly, the theory of underdevelopment looks at the standard of life in a nation as a measure of that country’s economic conditions. The application of this theory in the context of the law and as a measure of the quality of life of racial minorities stems from Professor Manning Marable’s work on capitalism and the economic and social conditions of Black Americans.
In her Closing Remarks, Professor Alexis Hoag provided context for the contemporary application of Professor Marable’s theory in light of current events, exploring the Coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the 2020 Presidential Election. She then introduced carceral abolition as a theoretical and practical framework to understand the law’s underdevelopment of Black people and to help address the criminal legal system’s disparate impact on racial minorities.
