Published: December 2024

Water pollution from untreated dye discharge has become a significant concern for all living organisms and the treatment of polluted water has become a priority. In this study, a monoclinic–tetragonal hetero-structured BiVO4 and strontium doped (15, 20 and 25 wt.%) BiVO4 NPs were synthesized using a simple co-precipitation method. The structural, optical and morphological properties of the catalysts were characterized using XRD, FTIR, UV-DRS, FESEM, TEM, PL and BET analysis. The XRD pattern exhibited the retentions of crystalline structure of BiVO4 after Sr doping. The Sr-BiVO4 exhibited a reduced band gap energy of 2.3 eV, significantly lower than that of the pristine BiVO4. Additionally, Sr-BiVO4 had an increased surface area of 16.2 m2/g nearly twice that of the pristine material. Photocatalytic activities of the prepared samples were evaluated with changing parameters such as pH, initial concentration, catalyst dose and agitation time towards the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) dyes under solar light irradiation. The results showed that Sr-BiVO4 achieved a degradation efficiency of 91% for methylene blue and 94% for malachite green at pH ~ 9 with a 20 mg catalyst dose in 120 min. The dye degradation followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the catalyst demonstrated an excellent stability even after five consecutive runs. The active species test carried out using p-benzoquinone, isopropyl alcohol and Na-EDTA revealed that superoxide radicals played a key role in the degradation mechanism.
Protección social de los trabajadores en Argentina
Authors: Cóceres María Celeste 
Published: December 2024

La cobertura de las contingencias sociales ha tenido su mayor desarrollo entorno a un presupuesto: el trabajo en relación de dependencia registrado. Esto conlleva un esquema contributivo de cobertura, basado principalmente en el financiamiento a través de aportes de los trabajadores y contribuciones de los empleadores.
En este trabajo, sintetizamos los diversos sistemas de cobertura de contingencias sociales -vejez, invalidez, muerte, enfermedad, accidente de trabajo, cargas de familia, maternidad, desempleo- para los trabajadores registrados, y que constituyen la estructura central de la política pública de protección.
Sin embargo, no dejamos de señalar que, en un contexto con altas tasas de informalidad laboral, gran parte de la población queda fuera de ese paraguas contributivo de la Seguridad Social. Para este grupo de personas, los esquemas no contributivos o asistenciales establecen subsidiariamente protección ante las contingencias sociales.
Esto conlleva a la necesidad de diseñar políticas públicas acordes con la realidad actual, que contemplen diversas situaciones y modalidades: trabajo informal, trabajo independiente, teletrabajo/trabajo 4.0, trabajo de cuidados, trabajo migrante/nómades digitales.

Morus spp. is the sole food for mulberry silkworms, Bombyx mori L. However, this crop is infested by two major pests, the leaf webber, Diaphania pulverulentalis (Hampson) and thrips, Pseudodendrothrips mori (Niwa). To address this, two field trials were conducted in two different locations to assess the efficacy of botanicals against thrips and leaf webber in mulberry ecosystem. Results indicated that TNAU Bio 3G extract @ 5% showed the highest per cent population reduction of thrips (56.24 and 47.24 % in first and second trial, respectively) over untreated control after neem oil @ 3% and neem seed kernel extract @ 5% used as standard check, whereas for leaf webber Eupatorium adenophorum extract @ 3 % showed the highest effectiveness with 61.22 and 61.86 % reduction over control in first and second trial, respectively. The different botanicals applied against mulberry thrips and leaf webber were tested for their effect on mortality of silkworm. It was found that when treated leaves were fed one day after treatment highest larval mortality (25.00%) was recorded in Neem oil @ 3% but it was very low in case of TNAU Bio 3G extract @ 5% (4.99%). Larval death steadily decreased in all the treatments except Neem oil @3 %, when fed two days later, whereas, no mortality was noticed in case of TNAU Bio 3G extract @ 5% and E.adenophorum at 2 DAT. To conclude, TNAU Bio 3G extract @ 5% and E. adenophorum extract @ 3% can be recommended for an eco-friendly and sustainable management of thrips and leaf webber in mulberry ecosystem.
The use of virtual patient simulations in psychology: A scoping review
Authors: Imam Hossain Syeada , Kelson Joshua , Morrison Ben 
Published: December 2024

Virtual patient (VP) simulations can offer educational benefits in healthcare disciplines by supplementing traditional training approaches and enabling the acquisition of clinically relevant skills and knowledge. Although the existing body of literature covers VP usage in healthcare professions such as medicine and nursing, there are no current reviews highlighting the use of VP simulations in the field of psychology. The aim of this scoping review was to examine the educational impact of VP simulations on learning and user experience outcomes among psychology students and clinicians. Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, IEEE Xplore and SAGE journals databases were searched up to June 2023. Studies of all designs and comparator groups were included if they appraised the effectiveness and user experience of any VP simulation aimed at addressing learning outcomes among psychology students and clinicians. A total of nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Overall, VP simulations hold promise in facilitating improvements in skill acquisition, clinical competence and knowledge. Although user impressions were largely positive, there were notable technical challenges that hampered their usability and learning effectiveness. Further research and standardisation of VP simulations are needed to draw definite conclusions about the effectiveness of these simulations in psychology education.

Implications for practice or policy:

Educators could incorporate VP simulations into psychology curricula to enhance the learning experience of students and impact skill and knowledge acquisition and clinical competence.
Higher education policymakers could advocate for further research and standardisation of VP simulations in psychology education to establish evidence-based guidelines, fostering a more comprehensive and consistent educational environment for psychology students and clinicians.
Course developers or coordinators could establish a standardised approach to assess core professional competencies required for practice.
Przesłanki udziału organizacji ekologicznych w postępowaniach dotyczących ochrony środowiska w Polsce i w Niemczech

The article analyses the prerequisites for the participation of environmental organisations in administrative and administrative court proceedings in the field of environmental protection in Poland and Germany. There are significant differences between the two legal systems, despite the source of the broad powers of environmental organisations, including the right to initiate judicial review in cases involving other persons, deriving from the same act of international law the Aarhus Convention. In the scope in question, Polish regulations, established primarily in the Act of 3 October 2008 on the provision of information on the environment and its protection, public participation in environmental protection and environmental impact assessments, do not impose significant requirements on environmental organisations. In contrast, the German provisions, established primarily in the Gesetz über ergänzende Vorschriften zu Rechtsbehelfen in Umweltangelegenheiten nach der EG-Richtlinie 2003/35/EG, significantly restrict the access of environmental organisations to proceedings. The extended German solutions were treated as an inspiration to present de lege ferenda conclusions for the Polish legal order. The article points out the necessity of modifying Polish regulations towards limiting access of environmental organisations to administrative and judicial-administrative proceedings. In the author’s opinion, the prerequisites for the participation of environmental organisations should be more broadly linked to the rights they obtain. In other words, before allowing a given organisation to participate in the proceedings, the authority should examine such issues as, having at its disposal specialist knowledge, its previous activity, which is supposed to provide guarantees of proper performance of its statutory tasks. On the other hand, those German solutions which do not refer to the objectives of organisations’ participation in environmental proceedings do not merit implementation.
Potencjał mediacyjny spraw administracyjnych
Authors: Nasiadka Łukasz 
Published: December 2024

Mediation was introduced into general administrative proceedings by the Act of 7 April 2017 amending the Act - Code of Administrative Procedure and certain other acts, and was finally regulated in Chapter 5a of Section II of the CAP. At present, public administration bodies, in cases whose nature allows to do so, seek amicable settlements of disputed issues and aim to determine the rights and obligations which are the subject of the proceedings, in matters within their jurisdiction, in particular, by taking actions necessary for mediation. Mediation as a way of settling administrative law cases is not developing as dynamically in Polish practice as the legislator expected. One of the reasons for this state of affairs is the lack of a clear definition of the catalogue of cases in which mediation is possible and justified. At the same time, administrative mediation is not a legally unlimited construction. Its use has been limited by the legislator through prerequisites, i.e. legal requirements on which its legal admissibility depends. The key in this respect was to determine the prospects for concluding mediation in the mode specified in Article 96a § 3 of the CAP, i.e. by issuing a decision acceptable to the parties to the proceedings or concluding an administrative settlement. The study attempted to apply various criteria, such as the ways in which the proceedings were initiated, their subject matter, the state of progress of the investigation and the different categories of participants. On the basis of these, the ‘mediation potential’ of administrative cases was sought.

AbstractThe oral administrated thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have been widely reported to alleviate experimental pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, previous studies mainly focused on their beneficial effects on the cardiopulmonary vascular system but failed to determine their potential roles on gut microenvironment. This study aims to investigate the effects of pioglitazone, an oral TZD drug, on gut microbiome in classic PH rat models induced by hypoxia (HPH) or SU5416/hypoxia (SuHx‐PH) and evaluate the therapeutic potential of supplementation of selective probiotics for experimental PH. Pioglitazone remarkably inhibited the PH pathogenesis in both models and reshaped the gut microbiome and plasma metabolome. Correlation analyses represented strong and unique association between the protective metabolites and bacteria genera (Roseburia, Lactobacillus, and Streptococcus) that were positively stimulated by pioglitazone. Supplementation of selective probiotics Roseburia intestinalis (R. intestinalis) partially attenuated SuHx‐PH and rebuilt a novel gut microbiome and host metabolome. This study reports for the first time that oral administration of pioglitazone protects PH by regulating the gut microbiome and host metabolome, providing novel insights for the TZD drugs. The data also supports that modulation of gut microbiota by supplementation of selective probiotics could be a novel effective therapeutic strategy for the treatment of PH.
Fluency across modes: an exploratory study of L1 and L2 spoken and written fluency

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article presents an exploratory cross-modal analysis of fluency profiles in spoken and written first (L1, Finnish) and second (L2, English) language production of the same language users. Our data come from two research projects, from which we identified 11 university students participating in both. The spoken tasks consisted of monologue picture description (analysed with Praat), and the written tasks were short argumentative essays (collected and analysed with keystroke logging software GGXLog). Based on commonly used measures to capture different aspects of spoken and written fluency, we used a set of 14 measures (seven for speech fluency, seven for writing fluency) to examine fluency across modes comprehensively. Four profiles were identified from the data: (1) fast and productive, (2) fast, (3) slow and productive, and (4) slow and reflective. Six speakers had the same profile in the L1 and L2, and seven writers had the same profile in the L1 and L2. Only one participant had the same profile in the L1 and L2 speaking and writing. The results suggest that the cross-modal differences are greater than the differences between languages. The modalities are inherently different, which is also reflected in individual variation between the modalities.
Prévision électorale : des méthodes non quantitatives aux modèles de vote politico-économiques
Authors: Jérôme Bruno 
Published: December 2024

« Dans la sphère économique, un acte, une habitude, une institution, une loi n’engendrent pas seulement un effet, mais une série d’effets. De ces effets, le premier seul est immédiat ; il se manifeste simultanément avec sa cause, on le voit. Les autres ne se déroulent que successivement, on ne les voit pas, heureux si on les prévoit. Entre un mauvais et un bon Economiste, voici toute la différence : l’un s’en tient à l’effet visible, l’autre tient compte et de l’effet qu’on voit et de ceux qu’il faut prévoir. »

Frédéric Bastiat (1850),
Ce qu’on voit, ce qu’on ne voit pas.

Abstract: Outre l’économiste érudit, le spécialiste de l’école autrichienne et de la théorie du Public Choice, Bertrand Lemennicier se passionnait pour la prévision en général et la prévision politique en particulier. Dans cet article en forme d’hommage, nous proposons de faire un point d’étape sur les méthodes de prévision électorale, en allant des méthodes non quantitatives aux méthodes quantitatives au sein desquelles les modèles de vote politico-économiques occupent une place éminente. En l’espèce, nous évoquerons la contribution de Bertrand Lemennicier à « l’art » de la prévision électorale.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Rebound jumping is one of the most commonly used movement patterns to assess and monitor fast stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) mechanics, a critical component for rapid movements like sprinting, jumping, and directional changes. This narrative review explores the mechanical and neuromuscular mechanics underlying fast SSC function and critically evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of commonly used testing protocols, including drop jumps and multiple rebound jump tests, along with commonly reported metrics from these tests. By integrating scientific evidence with practical applications, the aim of this review is to guide practitioners in selecting appropriate assessment tools and implementing evidence-based strategies to evaluate fast SSC performance in athletes.

A este artigo incumbe analisar o perfil epidemiológico da ocorrência de morte súbita de origem cardíaca quanto às causas mais prevalentes no Brasil, ponderando a influência da pandemia de COVID -19 sobre os resultados, dividindo assim o estudo em período pré pandêmico e Pandemia COVID, abrangendo os anos de 2011 a 2022. Para esse propósito foi realizado estudo transversal utilizando dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade referente a óbitos ocorrido entre indivíduos com idade acima de 20 anos no Brasil entre janeiro de 2011 e dezembro de 2022 cuja causa básica tenha sido preenchida com o código CID-10 “Morte súbita de origem cardíaca”. As seguintes variáveis foram incluídas: data e horário do óbito, faixa etária, sexo, estado civil, anos de estudo, estado e município de residência, município e local de ocorrência, categoria CID-10 de causa imediata. De modo que foram registradas 18.211 mortes súbitas de origem cardíaca durante o período avaliado de 12 anos, com um aumento nos anos de pandemia de COVID-19. A maior parte ocorreu entre indivíduos do sexo masculino, com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, com estado civil casado, raça/cor branca ou parda, em domicílio e o município de ocorrência foi o mesmo município de residência para quase todos os casos. Depreendeu-se que a morte súbita de origem cardíaca ocorre com frequência no âmbito domiciliar, afetando majoritariamente a população masculina com idade entre 60 e 70 anos, e nos anos de pandemia de COVID-19 cursou com aumento substancial, inclusive apresentando-se de maneira mais precoce.

Published: December 2024

Protein hydrolysates from skipjack tuna by-products are rich in protein and excellent in functional properties, making them a valuable source of nutrients for humans. This research sought to determine the optimal pH, temperature, and hydrolysis time for producing protein hydrolysates from skipjack tuna byproducts (PHST) using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A total of 20 g of PHST was prepared from frames and trimmings, samples were hydrolyzed under the following conditions: pH of 6 (P1) and 7 (P2), temperatures of 50°C (S1), 60°C (S2), and 70°C (S3), and hydrolysis times of 90 minutes (T1), 180 minutes (T2), and 270 minutes (T3). The hydrolysis process was terminated by inactivating the enzyme at 80°C for 30 minutes. The filtrate was ready for further analysis in the laboratory. Data and design experiments were analyzed using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) with the Design-Expert (DX) 13® software (Stat-Ease Inc. Minneapolis) to determine the optimum conditions for higher PHST production. A quadratic model was developed to predict the production of PHST. The RSM recommendation was to perform hydrolysis at pH 6.386 and a temperature of 61.190°C for a hydrolysis time of 228.540 minutes to result in a desirability of 0.906 in producing PHST with 85.680% DH, a protein solubility of 51.538%, and a viscosity of 3.587%. The study results showed that PHST can be used as a promising food ingredient and protein source in the food system.

В статті проаналізовано сучасний стан та перспективи і організаційно-економічні механізми розбудови та розвитку імпортозамінних виробництв на ринках винограду і плодово-ягідної продукції в повоєнний період. Визначено, що в умовах війни та кризових явищ, що вона спричинила, першочерговим заданням є забезпечення внутрішнього ринку, а за оцінками науковців, в останній час суттєво погіршився рівень самозабезпеченості саме плодами та ягодами. Тому проведено дослідження перспектив та організаційно-економічних механізмів розбудови ринку винограду і плодово-ягідної продукції України у повоєнний період. Виявлено, що для збереження конкурентних позицій та задля виробництва плодово-ягідної продукції, імпорт якої є неможливим або ускладненим через війну, необхідно розробляти організаційно-економічні механізми імпортозаміщення. Окреслено основні напрями формування організаційно-економічних механізмів розбудови українського ринку винограду та плодово-ягідних культур, що вимагає: активної підтримки з боку держави; впровадження інновацій; фінансової допомоги для фермерів та розвитку ринкової інфраструктури.
La enseñanza y su finalidad según Tomás de Aquino: análisis basado en el ejemplo de la pedagogía de Cristo y en su propia experiencia como maestro
Authors: Ibáñez Davanzo Carmela 
Published: December 2024

En la Suma Teológica (II-II, q.181, a.3) y en el De Veritate, q.11, a.4, Tomás de Aquino aclara la naturaleza propia de la enseñanza dilucidando si ésta pertenece a la vida contemplativa o a la vida activa . Dentro de ello, el autor señala que el acto de enseñar tiene dos objetos: la cosa misma que es enseñada y, por otro lado, a quién la ciencia es comunicada. Según el primer objeto, la enseñanza es propia tanto de la vida contemplativa como activa. Y, según el segundo, es sólo propia de la vida activa. Ahora bien, la finalidad de la enseñanza no consiste en la sola contemplación de una verdad, ya que ésta tiende a ser útil para el prójimo y, en ese sentido, la enseñanza cumple su fin cuando la verdad es comunicada y recibida por el auditor. De este modo, Tomás de Aquino afirma que la enseñanza pertenece principalmente a la vida activa. Por lo tanto, para analizar su naturaleza y su finalidad no es posible hacerlo sólo desde la teoría del conocimiento que la sustenta, es necesario también adentrarse en el acto de enseñar, el cual se vivencia ejemplarmente en la pedagogía de Cristo y en su propia experiencia como maestro.
