Authors: Iannotta Iolanda Sara , Gragnaniello Deborah , Tammaro Rosanna 
Published: November 2024

The internship, provided as part of the master’s degree course in Primary Education Sciences (SFP), is an opportunity for future teachers to live, through the tutor guidance and support, the transition from being a student to being a teaching. Despite the centrality of the role, the tutor does not have access to specific training, limiting the effectiveness of the internship and the learning potential of students-interns. This paper presents the theoretical framework, and the design of an action research started in September 2022, at the University of Salerno, that, based on the results of the needs analysis, aims to implement model of Adult Continuing Education (ACE) to providing tutors with the necessary tools to perform their role effectively and to promote their empowerment.

Il tutor nel Corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della Formazione Primaria: professionalità, empowerment e formazione.
Il tirocinio, previsto nell’ambito del Corso di laurea magistrale in Scienze della Formazione Primaria (SFP), rappresenta per i futuri docenti l’occasione di vivere, attraverso la guida e il supporto del tutor, il passaggio da studente a professionista dell’insegnamento. Nonostante la centralità del ruolo, il tutor non ha accesso a una formazione specifica, limitando di fatto l’efficacia del percorso di tirocinio e il potenziale di apprendimento degli studenti-tirocinanti. In questo contributo si presentano il quadro teorico e il disegno di una ricerca-formazione avviata nel settembre 2022 presso l’Università degli Studi di Salerno che, sulla base degli esiti dell’analisi dei bisogni, si propone di implementare un modello di Adult Continuing Education (ACE) teso a fornire ai tutor gli strumenti necessari per svolgere il loro ruolo in maniera efficace e a promuoverne l’empowerment.
Gender equity: educating to respect differences beyond false myths and stereotypes
Authors: Chianese Gina 
Published: November 2024

Gender equality is the basis of fundamental human rights as emphasised in several national and international documents. However, the data send us a picture of inequalities that are rooted in women’s biographies already in childhood and that, through stereotypes and expectations, condition behaviour and desires, access to studies and career paths. In this scenario, education represents a fundamental key to allow the development of renewed awareness from which to undo gender (Biemmi & Lionelli, 2016) in favour of an education to differences and the plurality of differences (Padoan & Sangiuliano, 2008).

Equità di genere: per educare al rispetto delle differenze oltre i falsi miti e gli stereotipi.
L’uguaglianza di genere è alla base dei diritti fondamentali della persona così come sottolineato in diversi documenti a carattere nazionale e internazionale. Tuttavia, i dati ci rimandano una fotografia fatta di diseguaglianze che si radicano nelle biografie delle donne già nell’infanzia e che, attraverso stereotipi e aspettative, condizionano comportamenti e desideri, l’accesso agli studi e percorsi di carriera. In questo scenario l’educazione rappresenta una chiave di volta fondamentale per consentire lo sviluppo di rinnovate consapevolezze a partire dalle quali disfare il genere (Biemmi & Lionelli, 2016) a favore di un’educazione alle differenze e alla pluralità delle differenze (Padoan & Sangiuliano, 2008).
Promoting Active Longevity: The Challenge of Continuing Education for Well-being, Beyond and Above the Emergency
Authors: Togni Fabio , Boffo Vanna 
Published: November 2024

The essay begins with a reflection dedicated to social ageism. In particular, it seeks to show how policies aimed at active ageing, if understood only as strategies directed at the elderly, are not without a certain bias towards aging, aiming to bring the topic of active longevity back into the horizon of lifelong learning. All formal, informal, and non-formal contexts must take on the task of becoming promoters and developers of life skills, fulfilling the preventive role that lifelong learning and continuing education should have. In conclusion, the contribution, after identifying the contents of continuing education for active longevity, highlights the research projects dedicated to this topic within the Lilah research group at the University of Florence.

Promuovere longevità attiva: la sfida dell’educazione continua per il benessere, al di là e oltre l’emergenza.
Il saggio prende avvio con una riflessione dedicata all’ageismo sociale. In particolare, cerca di mostrare come le politiche dedicate all’invecchiamento attivo, se intese solo come strategie rivolte agli anziani, non siano prive di un certo pregiudizio nei confronti dell’invecchiamento, con l’obiettivo di riportare il tema della longevità attiva nell’orizzonte dell’apprendimento permanente. Tutti i contesti formali, informali e non formali devono assumersi il compito di diventare promotori e sviluppatori di competenze di vita, assolvendo al ruolo preventivo che dovrebbe avere l’apprendimento permanente. In conclusione, il contributo, dopo aver individuato i contenuti di una educazione continua alla longevità attiva, evidenzia i progetti di ricerca dedicati a questo tema all’interno del gruppo di ricerca Lilah dell’Università di Firenze.
Well-being of adult continuing education professionals: reflections and research pathways
Authors: Frison Daniela 
Published: November 2024

The effects of adult and continuing education (ACE) on the mental health and well-being of adults who engage in continuing education programmes have been the focus of studies and research for some years now, and the benefits of such involvement have been investigated with reference above all to the socio-economic dimension. On the other hand, attention to well-being in the educational and training professions, including ACE professionals, is still starting and is extremely recent. Starting from document analysis and the exploration of a recent literature, the contribution intends to offer a reflection on challenges and potential avenues for research on the well-being of ACE professionals.

Well-being dei professionisti dell’adult continuing education: riflessioni e piste di ricerca.
Le ricadute dell’adult and continuing education (ACE) sulla salute mentale e sul benessere di adulti che si impegnano in programmi di continuing education sono al centro di studi e ricerche già da alcuni anni e i benefici di tale coinvolgimento sono stati più volte indagati e resi evidenti con riferimento soprattutto alla dimensione socio-economica. D’altra parte, l’attenzione al benessere nelle professioni educative e formative, compresi i professionisti ACE, è ancora agli inizi ed è estremamente recente. A partire da un’analisi documentale e dall’esplorazione di una letteratura recente, il contributo intende offrire una riflessione in termini di sfide e potenziali piste di ricerca sul tema del well-being dei professionisti dell’ACE.
Zobaczyć „strumień światła”: negacja i ekstaza
Authors: Sarbiewska Joanna 
Published: November 2024

Niniejszy tekst jest propozycją odczytania wiersza Zbigniewa Herberta w perspektywie filozofii fenomenologicznej i mistycznej. W tym ujęciu Studium przedmiotu stanowi studium widzenia fenomenologicznego, które prowadzi do granic filozofii. Mamy tu do czynienia z próbą opisu, metodą via negativa, „widzenia źródłowego” – ekstatycznego. Herbertowi w języku metafory poetyckiej udaje się skupić jak w soczewce elementy myśli i duchowości apofatycznej. W procesie ogołocenia / przejścia percepcji od przedmiotu (bytu) do rzeczy (bycia), wyłania się doświadczenie źródłowej pustki, które otwiera widzenie „wszystkich stron” rzeczy, łączących się w „jeden strumień światła”. W ten sposób techne widzenia odsłania prawdę bycia (aletheia), w której niema „mowa krzesła”, niczym most, ma moc wyrażania Heideggerowskiej „czwórni” (das Geviert): jedności ziemi, nieba, istot śmiertelnych i istot boskich.

Makala haya yalilenga kupambanua vipengele mbalimbali vya maadili katika mivigha ya tohara kanisani. Ujio wa Ukristo katika bara la Afrika ulisababisha utamaduni wa Mwafrika kuathiriwa sana na misingi ya ukristo. Matokeo yamekuwa kupotea kwa tamaduni nyingi na zilizobaki kupitia mabadiliko mengi ili kuafiki na kulandana na misingi ya Ukristo. Jamii nayo imekuwa ikibuni mikakati mbalimbali ili kuzuia tamaduni zilizoheshimiwa kupotea. Kati ya tamaduni zilizoathirika kwa njia hii ni tohara ya wavulana. Matokeo ya mabadiliko haya yalikuwa kubuniwa kwa mfumo wa tohara ya wavulana katika mandhari ya kanisani. Kazi hii ilipambanua vipengele mbalimbali vya maadili katika mivigha ya tohara kanisani. Makala haya yaliongozwa na nadharia ya uamilifu hasa maoni ya Emile Durkheim (1893) wakiwa na Spencer (1873) na (1876). Uamilifu uliibuka kama njia ya kuyatazama maisha na utamaduni wa jamii kwa kuchunguza dhima za vipengele vya kijamii pamoja na njia ambazo kwazo dhima hizi zinahakikisha uwepo wa jamii thabiti. Utafiti huu ulifanyika nyanjani pamoja na maktabani. Utafiti wa nyanjani ulifanyika katika shule ya upili ya St. Gabriel Mission A.C.K. katika eneo la Bahati kaunti ya Nakuru.

Edemoascitis decompensation. Is it always liver cirrhosis?
Authors: Fernandez Carrasco M , López González J , Campos Serrano N 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Portal hypertension (PH) is a clinical syndrome characterized by an increase in the portal hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), defined as the gradient between the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. When there is clinically significant PH, it is usually associated with clinical events such as the development of esophagogastric varices (EGV), oedemoascitic decompensation, encephalopathy... these being more frequent in the case of PH due to liver cirrhosis.

In all etiologies of PH there is an increase in resistance to portal blood flow, followed by an increase in said flow. Depending on the location of the increased resistance, it will be classified as prehepatic, intrahepatic or posthepatic PH. Posthepatic portal hypertension occurs when there is a deterioration in hepatic venous outflow, increasing resistance at this level.

We present the case of a patient where a striking portal dilation led to the diagnosis of posthepatic PH.

Published: November 2024

COVID-19 presents with respiratory symptoms and signs in the majority of cases. The central nervous system can be affected directly or indirectly, which is demonstrated by a number of neurological abnormalities and complications. The aim of this study is to present a clinical case of SARS-CoV-2-associated encephalitis and highlight the severity of this neurological illness over the course of COVID-19. Etiological diagnosis methods include examination of the nasopharyngeal swab and cerebrospinal fluid by PCR.
A 45-year-old man with fever, altered consciousness, and tonic-clonic seizures was admitted to the Clinic of Infectious Diseases, St George University Hospital, Plovdiv. The diagnosis of COVID-19 encephalitis is based on typical clinical and laboratory data, positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR, and exclusion of other likely causative agents into the cerebrospinal fluid. The patient was discharged two weeks after admission without neurological sequelae. The case confirms the clinical variety of COVID-19 and the possibility of severe neurological manifestations. Encephalitis is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Physicians should be aware of encephalitis in SARS-CoV-2 patients with neurological symptoms.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is a metabolite produced by intestinal microbiota. It is well recognized as an independent risk marker for cardiovascular and renal diseases and mortality.
Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum GLP3 supplementation on TMAO levels in 30 patients with a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease after 12 weeks of treatment.
Materials and methods: Thirty consecutive male patients with a history of clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were randomized in the study. TMAO levels were evaluated in human plasma samples using high-performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry and results were presented as the median (interquartile range). ﻿Microbiome sequencing analysis, focusing on bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus, was performed in 21 patients.
Results: Patients receiving probiotic treatment showed a significant decrease in the TMAO levels [from 284 (139) µg/L to 202.5 (96.7) µg/L; p=0.044], with no significant change apparent in the placebo group after the treatment [from 176 (120) µg/L to 178 (150) µg/L; p=0.258]. Lactobacillus spp. % in the probiotic group was significantly increased after the interventional procedures [0.6 (0.14) before and 0.79 (0.6) after the treatment; p=0.041].
Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation with Lactobacillus plantarum GLP3 reduced the TMAO levels in very high-risk patients for cardiovascular diseases.
Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis Forest Alliance
Authors: Zhang Yutong , Sui Yuzhu , Jin Guangze , Wang Hongfeng 
Published: November 2024

The Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forest is a unique pine forest type in Northeast China. The species grows normally under extremely adverse conditions because it has a strong tolerance to poor soils and drought. It also benefits the ecological environment significantly through water conservation, soil improvement and windbreak and sand fixation, thus making it an important pioneer species for improving site conditions. This paper systematically analyzes the geographical distribution, ecological and community characteristics, species composition and classification of Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forests in China through field surveys and literature review. The main findings are:
(1) Based on the dominant species of each layer, Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forests can be divided into two categories of associations: Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis - Rhododendron dauricum - Carex callitrichos association and Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis + Quercus mongolica - Lespedeza bicolor - Carex caespitosa association.
(2) According to sample plot surveys, a total of 134 vascular plant species, belonging to 59 families and 104 genera, were recorded in natural Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forests. Amongst them were one fern species, two gymnosperm species and 131 angiosperm species.
(3) The composition of life forms in Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forests is dominated by terrestrial herbs, with fewer woody plants and with vines making up the smallest proportion.
(4) The Pinus densiflora var. ussuriensis forests located on the hillocks of Xingkai Lake are in decline. If the soil in this area continues to increase in wetness, this community may eventually evolve into a broad-leaved mixed forest.
Analyse contrastive des positionnements énonciatifs dans les écrits d’étudiants en sciences biomédicales et biologiques en anglais langue maternelle et langue étrangère
Authors: Hamilton Clive E. , White Paul 
Published: November 2024

Cette étude vise à caractériser le positionnement énonciatif adopté par les étudiants de niveau licence rédigeant des essais en anglais, qu’il s’agisse de leur langue maternelle (corpus BAWE) ou d’une langue étrangère (corpus CarDiBioMed). L’accent est mis sur la position auctoriale des étudiants vis‑à‑vis du lecteur, du contenu et de la communauté universitaire. L’utilisation de ressources contractives d’engagement est observée comme un moyen de construire une voix assertive, tandis que l’emploi de ressources expansives et les références aux travaux externes signalent une ouverture à l’interprétation du lecteur et une reconnaissance des positions ou voix alternatives. Sur la base de l’analyse des catégories de la théorie de l’évaluation, les résultats révèlent que les écrits des étudiants en langue étrangère tendent à utiliser davantage la dénégation et la réfutation, souvent de manière superfétatoire, tandis que les textes du corpus BAWE montrent une intégration convenable et conventionnelle des voix externes, avec une fréquence d’utilisation plus élevée de catégories approbation et reconnaissance. Les implications pédagogiques soulignent l’importance d’enseigner les différentes fonctions d’engagement et l’intégration des voix externes pour développer une posture d’auteur équilibrée.

Abstract
Sand flies are potential carriers of various diseases that are transmittable to humans and animals. In this study, United States Centers for Disease Control light traps were set up in four tourist caves in the Thai provinces of Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Satun, and Chumphon to capture Idiophlebotomus asperulus sand flies. Over a period of three months, April to June, in 2017, a total of 181 female Idiophlebotomus asperulus sand flies were captured during nightly operations. The sand flies were dissected into 23 external and internal parts to identify their morphological characteristics. Statistical analysis was then conducted on these morphological characteristics, involving both univariate analysis (one-way analysis of variance and the Kruskal–Wallis test) and multivariate analysis (canonical discriminant analysis). Levene’s, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov, and Box’s M tests were used for the preliminary statistical screening of the data. The test results revealed significant morphological differences in the sand flies from the four provinces with regard to their antenna segments 5, palpal segments 3, pharynxes, hindlegs, femurs, and spermathecae. These morphological differences in the southern Thai Idiophlebotomus asperulus sand fly population suggest the possibility that at least three morphologically different populations are found in this region.
Sense of coherence in students while studying abroad
Authors: Mayer Claude-Hélène , Larsen Jeff 
Published: November 2024

Background: In the 1970s, medical sociologist Aaron Antonovsky developed the concept of salutogenesis, which is the study of health and development focusing on sense of coherence (SOC). Although salutogenesis has been well researched in higher education contexts, the concept has not been studied in depth in intercultural and cross-cultural settings, such as the one provided by semester at sea (SAS), which is a United States (US) study-abroad programme.Aim: The aim was to investigate and compare levels of SOC in students in the SAS study-abroad programme.Setting: The research was conducted during a selected voyage at sea over a period of 106 days.Methods: The authors used a quantitative cross-sectional correlational design and investigated mean score differences in three SOC sub-scale scores measuring meaningfulness, comprehensibility, and manageability. The authors compared US students’ SOC scores to those of students from other countries and compared the scores of women to men. Measurement invariance was firstly established before investigating mean score differences. Data were collected in the form of a survey, using Antonovsky’s 29-item Life Orientation Questionnaire.Results: The study shows that overall scores in meaningfulness were the highest, followed by manageability and comprehensibility, which potentially supports the idea that the motivational component in life of these students is the most important. Finally, women scored higher in meaningfulness than men.Conclusion: The study can provide insights in SOC in students and might provide implications for interventions regarding SOC results across diverse student populations in SAS.Contribution: This article contributes to SOC research in study-abroad programmes.
