Authors: Fadeke Adeola Atobatele  , Percy Chris Kpodo  , Isabel Obiageli Eke  
Published: March 2024

This paper presents a systematic review of the literature concerning the role and impact of learning communities in fostering the success of international students within higher education settings. With the ever-increasing globalization of education, understanding the dynamics and effectiveness of learning communities for international students has become imperative. This review synthesizes findings from various scholarly works, examining the influence of learning communities on engagement, learning outcomes, and overall satisfaction among international students. The synthesis of literature reveals that learning communities play a pivotal role in supporting international student success across multiple dimensions. Firstly, these communities facilitate greater engagement among international students by providing platforms for interaction, collaboration, and cultural exchange. Through active participation in learning communities, international students develop a sense of belonging and connection within their academic environment, which is essential for their overall well-being and academic achievement. Secondly, the review underscores the positive impact of learning communities on the learning outcomes of international students. By fostering collaborative learning environments and encouraging peer support, these communities enhance academic performance and promote deeper understanding of course materials. Additionally, participation in learning communities exposes international students to diverse perspectives and alternative learning approaches, enriching their educational experience and enhancing their critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the synthesis highlights the significant role of learning communities in promoting overall satisfaction among international students. By providing social support networks, academic resources, and opportunities for personal growth, these communities contribute to a positive student experience and increase retention rates among international student populations. This systematic review provides valuable insights into how learning communities serve as pivotal support systems for international students within higher education contexts. By fostering engagement, enhancing learning outcomes, and promoting satisfaction, learning communities play a crucial role in facilitating the success and well-being of international students in their academic pursuits.

Global citizenship education: How can we assess it, and why should we?
Authors: Hayes Matthew 
Published: March 2024

This webinar will explore how Global Citizenship Education (GCE) can be practically assessed and why that matters. I will present the key findings of my PhD thesis, which examined the integration of GCE into ELT textbooks used in UAE secondary schools. This includes the adaptation of GCE to autocratic contexts and the design of a framework to develop and assess GCE. I will then demonstrate how I have embedded that framework into a portfolio platform for youth citizenship, Citizens, which I founded at the completion of my PhD and which has received Innovate UK funding to codesign with teenagers and prototype.

Objetiva-se nesta revisão discorrer como ocorre na atualidade a atenção farmacêutica nas drogarias do Brasil, a fim de se obter informações relevantes acerca das perspectivas da implementação deste serviço em larga escala na melhoria da qualidade de vida da população. Para isso, foram realizadas pesquisas, por meio da seleção de artigos científicos publicados em periódicos indexados nas bases de dados do Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), GOOGLE ACADÊMICO e SCOPUS com os seguintes descritores, devidamente cadastrados no DeCS: “atenção farmacêutica”, “uso racional de medicamentos”, “farmacovigilância”, “serviços farmacêuticos”. Destes, foram descartados artigos de revisão, bem como artigos que tivessem como nicho central o ambiente hospitalar. Encontrados 756 artigos, onde no final se excluiu artigos duplicados, onde apenas 9 contemplaram os objetivos do trabalho, embora um deles seja o planejamento de um ensaio clínico em andamento sem resultados divulgados, sendo este, portanto, descartado, totalizando 8 artigos. Constatou-se com a pesquisa que a atenção farmacêutica seja um resgate da origem deste profissional, porém, de acordo com as pesquisas ainda há muitos contratempos para execução deste serviço em larga escala, seja pelo descrédito dos proprietários das drogarias, seja pela falta de qualificação de muitos profissionais farmacêuticos. Nesse segmento, mas que o farmacêutico é um profissional imprescindível para a população em geral, já que a drogaria passou a ser um ambiente que promove a saúde, consequentemente, fato que tende ao reconhecimento do seu papel social, bem como do seu papel junto à construção de um novo modelo de atenção à saúde, onde possa estar inserido como profissional do medicamento e atuante como referência na orientação, cumprimento, acompanhamento e monitoramento na terapia medicamentosa.
Hydrocortisone as Antiallergic Drug
Authors: Muhammad Salam Abed 
Published: March 2024

Glucocorticoids are widely used for the suppression of inflammation in chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune diseases, all of which are associated with increased expression of inflammatory genes. The molecular mechanisms involved in this anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids is discussed, particularly in asthma, which accounts for the highest clinical use of these agents.
Glucocorticoids bind to glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm which then dimerize and translocate to the nucleus, where they bind to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) on glucocorticoid-responsive genes, resulting in increased transcription. Glucocorticoids may increase the transcription of genes coding for anti-inflammatory proteins, including lipocortin-1, interleukin-10, interleukin-1 receptor antagonist and neutral endopeptidase, but this is unlikely to account for all of the widespread anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids.[3]
The most striking effect of glucocorticoids is to inhibit the expression of multiple inflammatory genes.[3]

Published: March 2024

Fire in the steppe is one of the most common natural disasters in the eastern region of Mongolia. In 2019, 60.8% of the total fires in the eastern region occurred in the Dornod province and one of them was the fire that occurred in the Khukh Nuur Bag of the Choibalsan soum in Dornod province in April 2019 due to sparks falling from the railway engine. This study aimed to estimate the spatial distribution and levels of the fire and the changes in the grassland vegetation caused by the fire using Sentinel-2 data. We assessed the spatial distribution of the fire using the Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) index, levels of the fire using differenced Normalized Burn Ratio (dNBR), and the changes in vegetation cover and regeneration in the area affected by the fire using photo monitoring techniques. According to the result, the fire covered 21.85% of the total territory of Choibalsan soum. When classifying the areas affected by the levels of the fire, 61.36% (137905.23 ha) was classified as low and 38.64% (86836.87 ha) was classified as moderate-high levels. In areas affected by the fire, the proportions of Artemisia adamsii and Аrtemisia frigida, which are indicator species of pasture degradation, increased 7.2 times. In contrast, Carex duriuscula and Stipa krylovii reduced by approximately 86%.

Authors: Yui Yoshimichi , Kubo Tomoko 
Published: March 2024

Shrinking suburbs cause to occur several problems in Japan. One of the serious problems is the safety of communities, which are kept by community’s members. Some suspicious persons will invade vacancy houses, because nobody can maintain them. And it is difficult to keep house, because of aging of residents. And many public facilities and shopping centers were closed by the depopulation. This chapter introduces two case studies. One is the case of suburb of Hiroshima and another is Ryugasaki new town which is located in suburb of Tokyo. Amidst the aging in the suburb of Hiroshima, facilities for the elderly have been increasing in suburban housing estates in recent years. Facilities planned for child-rearing households and facilities developed for those households are no longer consistent with aging population attributes, and improvement of living convenience facilities and welfare facilities for the elderly is required. Therefore, this study focuses on the location of nursing care insurance service projects such as nursing home care and home care facilities, among welfare facilities for aged people in suburban housing estates, and examines the location of nursing care welfare facilities in the suburban housing estates of Hiroshima City. And we will point out the failure of Japanese town planning.

Published: March 2024

The Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field has gained more traction in the last decades because of the digitalization and technological and economic advancement of society. Amidst the rapid growth in the field, there has been a consistent gender gap, with males making up more than 50% of the STEM field. The gap is often started to be seen as early as secondary school when students start to choose courses. This chapter explores some of the major factors causing this gap from primary school level to career level, drawing on past studies and case studies, and poses possible solutions to bridge the gap. It has a major focus on the United Kingdom but draws examples and case studies from other countries.

Published: March 2024

Semen babi pada dasarnya bersifat produktif dengan kosentrasi yang rendah, hal ini berpengaruh terhadap kelebihan semen setelah penampungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efektivitas sari buah melon-kuning telur (SBM-KT) dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur (S-KT) terhadap kualitas spermatozoa babi landrace. Bahan yang digunakan adalah semen segar babi landrace kualitas baik yang diencerkan dengan pengencer perlakuan sebagai berikut: P0: S-KT 100%, P1: S-KT 90% + SBM-KT 10%, P2: S-KT 80% + SBM-KT 20%, P3: S-KT 70% + SBM-KT 30%, P4: S-KT 60% + SBM-KT 40%. Semen yang telah diencerkan disimpan pada suhu 18-20o C dan dievaluasi setiap 8 jam terhadap motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas dan daya tahan hidup spermatozoa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas spermatozoa dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur tanpa penambahan sari buah melon (P0) memperlihatkan hasil lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya dengan motilitas (45,00±1,76), viabilitas (55,86±1,11), abnormalitas (4,55±0,54) dan daya tahan hidup (45,30 jam). Dari data diatas maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa substitusi sari buah melon dalam pengencer sitrat-kuning telur tidak efektif untuk mempertahankan kualitas spermatozoa babi landrace. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pengencer dengan komposisi yang berbeda dapat memengaruhi kualitas spermatozoa selama penyimpanan, dan perlakuan tanpa penambahan sari buah melon memiliki efek yang lebih baik dalam mempertahankan motilitas, viabilitas, abnormalitas, dan daya tahan hidup spermatozoa babi Landrace.
A Silver Roman Coin of Elagabalus and the Ship of State Tradition
Authors: Smith Jonathan 
Published: March 2024

The significance of a scarce Roman coin type, RIC IV 188, an example of which was found in the Shapwick Hoard in 1998, has been largely overlooked. This paper analyses its iconography in the light of its Syrian-Roman context, the Graeco-Roman ‘Ship of State’ tradition, and other Elagabalus coins found at Shapwick. The conclusion is that RIC IV 188 is significant for presaging a theocratic coup by the Emperor Elagabalus and is the only primary source for his sea crossing from Asia to Europe in AD 219.

Ashwagandha [Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal] roots have been used for Indian traditional medicine applications including for the control of fever, asthma, arthritis, rheumatism, inflammation, tuberculosis, mental diseases, and male sexual disorders. The multipurpose use of Ashwagandha has numerous other beneficial health effects that are relevant in light of pharmaceutical perspectives. This review aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the botanical description and ethnobotanical uses of ashwagandha. An online survey was accompanied for traditional applications of ashwagandha extracts. Appropriate data was obtained from several electronic scientific databases, and additional information was also obtained from other relevant sources like textbooks and local prints and scripts. This review investigates and presents the relevant information on ashwagandha, and its botany and ethnopharmacological uses. Future online survey studies are needed to understand the bioactive mechanisms of alkaloids and steroidal lactone compounds and their effects upon their consumption, through which we can facilitate the protection of human health from several diseases.
