El sociòleg Wright Mills deia que no hi havia res més útil com una bona teoria. Hi afegiria que una bona teoria és el constructe que supera les contradiccions empíriques i el referma com a paradigma. En el cas de la nostra especialitat, la teoria de l’educació es mou en la contradicció definida per la manca de relació entre formació cultural i ocupació en la societat postfordista -o societat industrial avançada-, on l’Index de Desenvolupament Humà és l’únic referent que permet plantejar vies de resposta a la marginalitat social (que continua essent el repte de les ciències socials).

Published: March 2017

La societat actual s’ha vist afectada pel ràpid i constant desenvolupament tecnològic de les darreres dècades. Els canvis impregnen tots els àmbits de desenvolupament de l’individu, des de la seva vida personal i quotidiana fins a la professional. Aquesta “revolució” tecnològica afecta al sistema educatiu i a com ha de formar els ciutadans del futur. La manera com s’ensenya als “nous aprenents” ha d’ajustar-se a les noves formes d’aprendre dels individus i a les noves demanades socials. Els alumnes necessiten unes competències clau per a participar de la societat actual, entre les que es troba la competència digital. En aquest sentit, els docents necessiten una competència digital docent adequada per a poder atendre les necessitats dels seus alumnes.
Coneixements en biotecnología dels futurs professors/es: un nou enfocament educatiu
Authors: Casanoves de la Hoz Marina 
Published: March 2017

Justificació i necessitats de la investigacióActualment, Europa està passant per un moment de transformació. Amb el pas de les dècades, hi ha hagut una revolució en el camp de la recerca i més concretament en la biotecnologia i la genètica. La biotecnologia ha estat una força impulsora en la millora de la salut i la qualitat dels ciutadans europeus. A través d’aquest fet, la Unió Europea ha promogut diverses iniciatives en els últims anys per estimular i coordinar els avenços en biotecnologia. Segons la Comissió Europea, el ràpid desenvolupament de la biotecnologia moderna i l’enginyeria genètica ha provocat una fissura entre el què entén la comunitat científica com un risc o un benefici i el què és entès per la societat. En el moment d’involucrar la societat en la presa de decisions sobre les polítiques científiques, es necessiten ciutadans ben informats que siguin capaços de prendre decisions basades en conclusions científiques combinades amb consideracions morals i ètiques. El primer pas per educar les noves generacions és amb la formació del professorat. El professorat juga un paper crític i central en el sistema educatiu. Per això, l'alfabetització biotecnològica dels estudiants de magisteri és té en gran consideració, ja que es convertiran en un col·lectiu influent de les següents generacions. Així doncs, les actituds que tenen els professors cap a la ciència i la biotecnologia influeixen en l’ensenyament de la ciència a l’escola.

Ambdues recerques que comento tenen punts de coincidència en tractar el mateix objecte d’estudi. L’única diferència és que Ramos analitza sistemàticament l’articulació freinetista valenciana i Vidal en concentra la trajectòria en la biografia del mestre Antoni Porcar.Mestres de la impremta és una recerca capdavantera a l’hora d’analitzar l’evolució organitzativa de l’Escola Nova Valenciana sota la influència de Celéstine Freinet (1896-1966). La biografia civicointel·lectual del mestre castellonenc Antoni Porcar i Candel –exposada rigorosament per Francesca Vidal a través de documentació orginal i d’històries orals evocades per alumnes d’aquest professor– explica la seva trajectòria en els centres escolars de la Plana Alta, Alt Urgell i Baix Maestrat, la recepció que feu, entre d’altres, de les idees de l’intel·lectual Alexandre Galí, la relació amb l’avantguarda freinetista del Grup Batec (1931) i la participació en la política educativa de la Generalitat Republicana –a través de cursos d’especialització (1933).
Análise das convergências e divergências nas políticas públicas ecológicas para agricultores familiares a partir da abordagem em desenvolvimento local: um estudo comparativo entre Espanha e Brasil
Authors: Da silva Elizabete Maria , Gómez López José Daniel , Canstantino de Oliveira Michel Angelo 
Published: March 2017

Este artigo examinou a convergência e divergência das políticas públicas direcionadas para produtores agrícolas de base econômica familiar no Brasil e na Espanha. A partir da elaboração de um quadro comparativo, foi possível reconhecer que a Espanha, por ser um país com mais capital social, investimentos estruturais e cultura cooperativista, abarca com maior profundidade as políticas públicas existentes. O trabalho é exploratório e utilizou-se de dados bibliográficos, documentais, bem como a percepção da pesquisa de campo realizada anteriormente. Conclui-se que, apesar de melhor apreensão da Espanha no que se refere às políticas públicas existentes, o Brasil adota políticas semelhantes, podendo se esperar avanços análogos. No entanto são necessárias implementações nas políticas públicas existentes, tanto na Espanha (dependente da PAC), quanto no Brasil, no sentido de garantir a produção agrícola familiar e sua sustentabilidade. Fica evidenciado, no presente artigo, que políticas públicas para agricultura familiar, que garantam o desenvolvimento local, são clamores mundiais.

Published: March 2017

Macrobenthos is one of the biotic water constituent and can be used as bioindicator in determining water quality conditions. Water quality can be seen in terms of community structure of macrobenthos. The present study aimed to determine the physical and chemical water qualities in Penjalin Reservoir and to know the community structure of macrobenthos contained in the waters of Penjalin Reservoir. Community structure includes Density (organism/m2), Relative Density, Dominance Index (C) and Diversity Index (H ') as well as to determine the relationship between the water quality (physical and chemical) and the macrobenthos density. The physical and chemical qualities of Penjalin Reservoir water was good based on class III water quality standard according to PP No. 82 Ttahun 2001. Based on observation, 11 macrobenthos were obtained. Diversity Index (H') based on the criteria of Lee et al. (1978) showed moderate values (2.07 to 1.66) suggesting a low contamination level. The relationship of macrobenthos density and its chemical and physical quality of water pH, temperature, light penetration, depth, DO, BOD was weak, but had strong relationship with TSS. The results showed a linear regression equation Y = 898.76 X - 236.946 (Y = density and X = TSS) which could be interpreted that the more value of macrobenthos density the higher value of TSS contained in the water.

Authors: Avcioglu Nermin Hande , Sahal Gulcan , Bilkay Isil Seyis 
Published: March 2017

Background: Microbial cells growing in biofilms, play a huge role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. In this study, biofilm
formation of Klebsiella strains belonging to 3 different Klebsiella species (K. ornithinolytica, K. oxytoca and K. terrigena),
cooccurences’ effect on biofilm formation amount and anti-biofilm effects of Citrus limon and Zingiber officinale essential oils on
biofilm formations of highest biofilm forming K. ornithinolytica, K. oxytoca and K. terrigena strains were determined.
Materials and Methods: Anti-biofilm effects of Citrus limon and Zingiber officinale essential oils on biofilm formations of highest
biofilm forming K. ornithinolytica, K. oxytoca and K. terrigena strains were investigated.
Results: 57% of K. ornithinolytica strains and 50% of K. oxytoca strains were found as Strong Biofilm Forming (SBF), there wasn’t
any SBF strain in K. terrigena species. In addition to this, clinical materials of urine and sperm were found as the most frequent
clinical materials for strong biofilm forming K. ornithinolytica and K. oxytoca isolations respectively (63%; 100%) Secondly, all
K. ornithinolytica strains isolated from surgical intensive care unit and all K. oxytoca strains isolated from service units of urology
were found as SBF. Apart from these, although the amount of biofilm, formed by co-occurence of K. ornithinolytica - K. oxytoca
and K. oxytoca - K. terrigena were more than the amount of biofilm formed by themselves separately, biofilm formation amount of
co-occurrence of K. ornitholytica - K. terrigena strains was lower than biofilm formation amount of K. ornithinolytica but higher
than biofilm formation amount of K. terrigena.
Conclusion: The antibiofilm effects of Citrus limonum and Zingiber officinale essential oils could be used against biofilm
Klebsiella aquired infections.

Authors: Khan Shafqat Ali , Ibrar Muhammad , - Barkatullah 
Published: March 2017

Background: Rhus succedanea is generally traded, distributed and sold in the markets in its crude and raw form. This may have been
mixed with adulterants, mismanaged by malpractices and substituted with other closely related drugs having different effect. This study
is therefore carried out to authenticate the plant through pharmacogonostic evaluations.
Material & Methods: The organoleptic studies were carried through sensory organs i.e size, shape, texrure, odour, etc. Histological
studies were conducted by preparing hand slides, mounting the specimen in potato tuber; fluorescence characters were determined
through UV and phytochemical screening was investigated using various standard and common methods from relevant literature.
Results: Morphologically, the Rhus is a perennial small sized deciduous tree, 5–9 m tall with opposite imparipinnately compound leaves
and small grayish yellow flowers born on paniculate inflorescence; locally, called as Rakhkal in Pashto and Kakarsingi in Urdu. The
organoleptic evaluation showed leaf had pleasant, aromatic odour and astringent taste. Transverse section of leaf through midrib region
was worked out. The anatomy of the midrib has shown to be surrounded by both upper and lower epidermis with multicellular nonglandular
trichomes. The leaf was hypostomatic showing anomocytic stomata with average stomatal number 27.1 ± 7.2 and stomatal
index 14 ± 3.63. The average vein islet, vein termination and palisade ratios were 13.6 ± 3.04, 10.21 ± 1.92 and 6 ± 2.01 respectively.
Leaf powder showed the existance of anomocytic stomata, spirally thickened xylem vessels, non-glandular multicellular and stellate
trichomes. Fluorescence study and percent extractive values was also carried out. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of
carbohydrates, protein, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, terpenoids and anthraquenones, while tannins and fixed oil was not detected.
Quantitatively highest amount of alkaloids 16% and flavonoids 19% in leaf was detected.
Conclusion: The results of the of the anatomical, organoleptic and physiochemical studies of the powder of leaf will be helpful in
standardization of R. succedanea the crude drug.
STUDIES ON THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TRIPTOLIDE AND BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN (BSA) BY SPECTROSCOPIC AND MOLECULAR MODELING METHODS
Authors: Wang Haidong , Shi Hailang , Pang Jie , Song Xingfa , Xu Caiyun , Sun Zengxian 
Published: March 2017

Background: Triptolide is a major active constituent isolated from Tripterygiumwilfordii Hook F, a Chinese herbal medicine. This
study investigated the intermolecular interaction between triptolide and bovine serum albumin (BSA).
Materials and Methods: The fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and molecular docking methods were used to investigate the
intermolecular interaction between triptolide and BSA. The binding constant, the number of binding sites, binding subdomain and
the thermodynamic parameters were measured.
Results: The results of this experiment revealed that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was effectively quenched by triptolide via
static quenching. The experimental results of synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra showed that the conformation of BSA was
changed in the presence of triptolide.
Conclusion: It indicated that triptolide could spontaneously bind on site II (subdomain IIIA) of BSA mainly via hydrogen bonding
interactions and Van der Waals force.
EMODIN EFFICACY ON THE AKT, MAPK, ERK AND DNMT EXPRESSION PATTERN DURING DMBA-INDUCED ORAL CARCINOMA IN GOLDEN SYRIAN HAMSTERS
Authors: Manimaran Asokan , Manoharan Shanmugam , Neelakandan Mani 
Published: March 2017

Background: The present study has evaluated the Emodin efficacy on the Akt, MAPK, ERK and DNMT expression pattern during
7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced oral carcinoma in golden Syrian hamsters, in order to explore its antitumor
potential.
Materials and methods: Oral tumors were developed in the buccal pouches of golden Syrian hamsters using the carcinogen,
DMBA.
Results: While the incidence of tumor formation was 100% in hamsters treated with DMBA alone, the tumor formation was not
noticed in DMBA+ Emodin treated hamsters. Also, Emodin reduced the severity of precancerous pathological lesions such as
dysplasia, in the hamsters treated with DMBA. Emodin administration corrected the abnormalities in the expression pattern of Akt,
MAPK, ERK and DNMT in the buccal mucosa of hamsters treated with DMBA.
Conclusions: The present study thus suggests that the tumor preventive potential of Emodin is partly related to its modulating effect
on the Akt, MAPK, ERK and DNMT expression pattern, as these molecular markers have a pivotal role in the process of cell
proliferation, inflammation, invasion, and apoptosis.

Authors: Ezeonu I.M. , Asuquo A.E. , Ukwah B.N. , Ukoha P.O. 
Published: March 2017

Background: Vernonia amygdalina, commonly called bitter-leaf, is widely consumed in many parts of Africa, and Nigeria, in
particular. The leaf extract has been reported to have antimicrobial, anti-plasmodial, anti-helminthic, as well as prebiotic properties,
but its immuno-modulatory effects have not been well-studied, neither have the prebiotics been identified. This study evaluated the
immuno-modulatory properties of the aqueous leaf extract and identified the prebiotic components.
Methods: The immuno-modulatory potential was evaluated by monitoring the effects of oral administration of the extract on
immunological, haematological and lipid profiles of Rattus norvegicus, while the prebiotic components were identified by thin layer
chromatography (TLC), following liquid-liquid fractionation of the extract.
Results: Consumption of the extract caused significant increases in CD4+-, white blood cell-, total lymphocyte- and high density
lipid (HDL) counts; decreases in low density lipid (LDL) and triglycerides and no significant effect on haemoglobin (Hb) and
packed cell volume (PCV) in the blood of test animals. The water-soluble fraction of the extract contained most of the phytoconstituents
of the extract and Thin Layer Chromatographic analysis of the fraction revealed the presence of fructo-oligosaccharide
and galacto-oligosaccharide prebiotics.
Conclusion: The results from this study have shown that the aqueous leaf extract of V. amygdalina has positive immune-modulatory
and haematologic effects and contains some important prebiotic compounds.

Authors: Peng Wen-jing , Xin Rui-hua , Luo Yong-jiang , Ge Liang , Ren Li-hua , Liu Yan , Wang Gui-bo , Zheng Ji-fang 
Published: March 2017

Backgr ound: Aster tataricus L. f. is used as a traditional Chinese drug to relieve cough and asthma symptoms and to eliminate
phlegm. However, Aster tataricus L. f. possesses toxicity, and little systematic research has been conducted on its toxic effects in the
laboratory.
Methods and Materials: The acute group was administered 75% alcohol extract of Aster tataricus L. f. in a single dose. A
subchronic toxicity study was performed via daily oral administration of Aster tataricus L. f. at a dose of 0.34 g/kg body weight in
SD rats. The rats were divided into six groups: a petroleum ether extract (PEA) group, an ethyl acetate extract (EEA) group, an
n-butyl alcohol extract (NEA) group, a remaining lower aqueous phases (REA) group, a 75% alcohol extract (AEA) group and a
control group. Quantitative measurements of cytokines were obtained by fluorescence with a laser scanner using a Cy3 equivalent
dye.
Results: The LD50 of the 75% alcohol extract of Aster tataricus L. f. was 15.74 g/kg bw. In the subchronic toxicity study, no
significant differences were observed among groups in relative organ weights, urine traits, liver antioxidase levels, or cytokine levels.
However, significant sporadic differences were observed in body weight gains, haematology indices, biochemistry values, and
histopathology features in PEA, EEA group. In addition, sporadic changes in other groups in measures such as WBC, MCHC, CK,
ALP, AST, ALT, LDH, T-BIL, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TC were observed.
Conclusion: The toxicity study showed that Aster tataricus L. f. can produce toxic effects, mainly on the liver; much less on the
heart. The LD50 was 15.74 g/kg BW in mice, and the subchronic toxicity study, used a dosage of 0.34 g/kg/d.BW, showed that the
toxic components of Aster tataricus L. f. were mainly concentrated in the petroleum ether fraction, followed by the ethyl acetate
fraction, the n-butyl alcohol fraction, the lower aqueous phase and the 75% ethanol extracts.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Asif , Badshah Amir , Shahid Muhammad 
Published: March 2017

Background: Herbal products of questionable quality create major concern for human population since their production is often not
controlled and regulated.
Material and Methods: Antihypertensive herbal products were subjected to pharmaceutical quality control parameters specified in
Pharmacopoeias, toxic quantification of heavy metals by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer and adulterated allopathic
contents were quantified using advanced HPLC techniques.
Results: A lot of variations in pharmaceutical parameters like moisture contents and LOD% values were observed. Also deviations
to a greater extent in weight variation, (P1, P2, P6, P12, P16, P17, P19, and P20), and hardness of the tablets of products (P1, P3, P8
and P11) were found. Friability of tablets of the Products (P3, P9 and P11) was found failed. Heavy metals i-e Fe (1597.20ppm,
1648ppm) in P5, P9, Pb (61.32ppm, 16.59 ppm) in P5, Cr (96.91ppm ,108.48 ppm) in P4, P14, Cd (39.53ppm, 32.31 ppm) in P11,
P12, Cu (28.22ppm, 21.04 ppm) in P15, P17, Zn (80.31ppm,76.27 ppm) in P15, P16, Ni (45.46ppm,22.18ppm) in P9, P13 in toxic
concentrations were detected. Adulterated allopathic contents of Amlpdopine in higher quantities, administered according to
manufacturer dose were found in P12 (20.30 mg/day), Verapamil in P2 (93.50 mg/day), Nifedipine (38.65 mg/day) in P6. Products
P4, P5 and P7 were found to have a combination of Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide and higher concentrations were found in
P5 (10.72 mg/day, 24.75 mg/day).
Conclusion:. The antihypertensive herbal products contained different kind of adulterants. Our findings suggest that effective
regulatory measures should be put in place to address this problem. This will help to decrease the toxic effects of these remedies and
increase the commercialization, internationalization and harmonization of antihypertensive herbal products.

This research paper highlights potential for the promotion of tribal tourism and various tribes inhabiting in these tribal areas. Further it discusses a strategy to develop a new tourism product to match up with the growing expectations of the tourists in southern Rajasthan. For this, various tourism potentials like their history culture, costume, cuisine etc. have been studied. Further in this paper it has been discussed that tribal tourism is responsible for the positive image building and exploring the unidentified locations of our beautiful and multifaceted state. These days’ tourists are in thrust for new experiences, innovations and adventures. It would be wrong to underestimate that tourists are not willing to experience new cultures and face new challenges of these mysterious tribes.<strong></strong></em></p><p><em>Before writing this paper extensive literature review has been done.
