Authors: Jelpan Mabrouka Ali 
Published: November 2023

Background: Universities were abruptly obliged to move to e-learning as a result of the Corona pandemic, and the University of Tripoli's College of Nursing was one among such institutions. From there, the research came to show the reality of using e-learning in the College of Nursing at the University of Tripoli, Libya. Under these circumstances. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the academic achievement of second semester nursing students in the faculty of nursing before and during the Corona pandemic. Method: Using the quantitative comparative research design with all population sampling, a total of 148 nursing students were utilized as the sample. 88 of which were allotted before Corona pandemic while samples of 60 during the Corona pandemic. Data were collected from the college study and exams office, which were the final grade of the selected course in the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020 and the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021. The collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 24, with t-test used to compare the effect of e-learning on student achievement in Fundamentals of Nursing 2 course (NU113) during the Corona pandemic to that of face-to-face learning prior to the Corona pandemic. Results: The results revealed that the average academic achievement scores for students before the Corona pandemic with face-to-face education was 56.76 and that the average academic achievement scores for students during the Corona pandemic with e-learning was 56.23. Significance levels were set at α≤ 0.05 was considered as statistically significant for all analyses of comparison between student scores before and during the Corona pandemic. The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in academic achievement between students who studied e-learning and face-to-face education, with (p=0.868 > α). Ho is accepted, which means that the transition to e-learning rather than face-to-face education had no negative impact on academic achievement, it was found that nursing students academic achievement is not negatively affected by the Corona pandemic. Conclusion: In this way, e-learning can be harnessed and developed to advance the nursing education agenda. Further study is recommended to assess the impact of e-learning on students’ academic achievement on other courses.
Une sablière dans la grande guerre à Blairville (Sparnacien, Paléocène-Eocène) sur le sud du saillant d’Arras
Authors: Dupuis Christian 
Published: November 2023

Dès octobre 1914, les Allemands sont retranchés dans la sablière de Blairville, point stratégique sur lequel s’appuie le retour sud du saillant d’Arras. Le site, connu des géologues nordistes depuis plus d’un siècle, expose des sédiments fluviatiles sparnaciens (ex-Landénien supérieur continental) qui portent la limite Paléocène-Eocène (PETM). Les sables, coiffés de dépôts de plaine alluviale argileux, occupent un chenal profondément incisé dans la craie et amplifié par une karstification sous-jacente. Des anciennes cartes postales françaises restituent l’état du site avant le conflit. L’exploitation est camouflée dans le bois et encaissée d’une douzaine de mètres. Les occupants l’aménagent en particulier par le creusement de plusieurs souterrains. « Les Journaux des Marches et Opérations des Régiments (JMO) » du Ministère de l’Armée documentent la situation militaire de cette partie du front ainsi que le déroulement de l’offensive Artois-Champagne qui l’impliqua violemment le 25 septembre 1915. Les livres des officiers français Eggenspieler et Laurentin, éclairent la façon dont les alliés réagirent face au retranchement allemand et à l’échec de l’offensive de diversion. Des photographies du retranchement sur cartes postales expédiées de la sablière, révèlent des aspects inconnus de ces infrastructures avant qu’elles ne soient détruites au cours du repli de l’Opération Alberich en mars 1917. Sans faire abstraction d’autres éléments stratégiques ou tactiques, la géologie de la sablière mise à profit par les occupants s’avère avoir été déterminante dans la stabilité du retour sud du saillant d’Arras de 1914 à 1917.
Deuxième complément à l'inventaire de la macroflore du Miocène Supérieur de la diatomite de Murat (Cantal, Massif Central, France)
Authors: Legrand Philippe 
Published: November 2023

Le gisement de diatomite de Murat (Cantal), daté à la limite Mio-Pliocène (Messinien), est particulièrement riche en végétaux fossiles. De nouvelles prospections effectuées de 2010 à 2019 ont permis de compléter les inventaires précédents. Seules cinq nouvelles formes fossiles ont été découvertes et sont décrites : trois nouvelles espèces (1 Filicophyte et 2 Magnoliophytes) et deux formes fossiles d'aiguilles de pin (Pinus sp., Coniferophytes). Deux autres espèces précédemment citées sont détaillées et figurées. Le nombre total d'espèces décrites dans la diatomite de Murat est maintenant de 86 : 4 Filicophytes, 11 Coniferophytes et 71 Magnoliophytes. La diatomite de Murat reste donc l'un des plus riches gisements de végétaux fossiles miocènes du Massif central. La flore est dominée par des espèces tempérées, mais des espèces plus froides et des espèces thermophiles sont aussi présentes.

Published: November 2023

Site suitability analysis is a strategic approach for identifying an optimal location for a specific activity through an examination of the current site. To conduct a comprehensive site analysis, various factors, including administrative data, topographical characteristics, and thorough research on land use and land cover, may be taken into account. This study aims to propose the most fitting site for establishing a renal hospital in Canacona, where a notable increase in renal disorders has been observed in recent years. The study is prompted by the local population’s demand for healthcare services and the absence of adequate existing healthcare infrastructure. To compile the primary dataset, GPS survey and on-site observations were conducted to gather the geographical coordinates of existing hospitals and pharmacies. The secondary dataset includes satellite images obtained from Landsat 8 (OLI) to create a Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) map, as well as data from the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) for generating a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). These datasets encompass various parameters such as DEM, LULC, road networks, existing hospitals, and pharmacies, all of which were utilized in the development of the site suitability model. The process involves assigning values to these parameters, and subsequently, a weighted overlay analysis was employed to determine suitable areas for the proposed renal hospital. The results were categorized into four classes: undesirable, less suitable, moderately suitable, and most suitable sites. After careful analysis, the optimal location for the renal hospital in Canacona was identified, spanning an area of approximately 1.55527 hectares.

La sustentabilidad en las empresas hace referencia a la capacidad con la que cuenta una organización para dirigir su operación de manera responsable y equilibrada, tomando en cuenta los aspectos económicos, sociales y ambientales e implica adoptar prácticas para satisfacer necesidades actuales sin comprometer el futuro, por lo cual la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las prácticas sustentables, particularmente del aspecto ambiental, que el sector hotelero implementa en sus instalaciones. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de caso en un hotel de Ciudad Obregón, Sonora; México. Los datos recopilados se obtuvieron a través de una guía de entrevista semiestructurada con seis apartados relacionados con la dimensión ambiental de la sustentabilidad, los cuales se basan en: agua, aire, flora, fauna, energía, residuos y una sección de preguntas generales. Para la recopilación de datos las entrevistas fueron grabadas, una vez obtenidos los audios se transcribieron con el software Happy Scribe y la información fue procesada en Atlas.ti. Los resultados permiten afirmar que el hotel en estudio implementa y le da la importancia a las practicas sustentables, sin embargo, se les da mayor importancia a variables como el agua, energía, así como residuos y en menor medida al cuidado del aire, la flora y la fauna. Se recomienda dar seguimiento al cuidado de todos los recursos disponibles, debido a que cada uno se considera indispensable para un desarrollo sustentable.
Pioneers against Stigma: Access to Family Planning in the Caribbean
Authors: Frame Tonia , Sheerattan-Bisnauth Patricia , Delph Yvette , Nunes Fred 
Published: November 2023

In the English-speaking Caribbean, internationally-funded local NGOs pioneered the introduction of family planning, a game-changer in women’s empowerment, ensuring access to women who cannot afford private physicians. These NGOs faced social controversy and cleared the space for governments to introduce the service in primary care clinics. As governments have cautiously stepped into this space, Family Planning Associations have lost clientele and not benefitted from significant government contributions. After 50 years, they remain fragile and dependent on foreign funds. They have been buffeted by the winds of the US Gag Rule, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the drive from IPPF to provide more comprehensive services, including abortion. Small size and stigma are obstacles to attracting high quality board members, and grant reductions make staff salaries unattractive to skilled professionals. The purpose of the paper is to explore the history, growth, gender bias, and the struggles for sustainability among family planning associations across the Caribbean region.
The Contribution of Autotrophic Nitrogen Oxidizers to Global Nitrogen Conversion

Published: November 2023

The accumulation of ammonium (NH4+-N) and nitrous oxide (N2O-N) in the environment is causing concern due to their ecological impacts and contribution to global warming. Autotrophic nitrogen oxidizers, including aerobic ammonium-oxidizing archaea and bacteria, anaerobic ammonium oxidizer and nitrite oxidizers, play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle by facilitating the removal of nitrogenous residues from the environment. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) like nitrite (NO2−-N) and nitrate (NO3−-N) are produced as key immediate products during the conversion of NH4+-N or N2O-N. Additionally, these autotrophic microbes utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) for cell synthesis, thereby mitigating the greenhouse effect. Preliminary results pointed out that nitrogen oxidizers could effectively remove NH4+-N and NOx from sewage and wastewater systems at the loading rate lower than 0.5 kg N/m3-day. Moreover, this family could also reduce the greenhouse N2O-N through oxidizing pathway, attaining the maximum reduction of 25.2-fold the annual N2O production.

Authors: Paula Dantas Passos Ana 
Published: November 2023

Child development comprises interdependent dimensions which embrace physiological adjustments to disturbances caused by epigenetic modulations of genes in response to physical and social environmental influences, which, in turn, shape the health of children during their development, and reflect on their learning, behavior, and physical and mental well-being through their life span. It is a dynamic process in which children turns from a totally dependent on their caregiver to a human being who responds to one who perceptions in a planned, organized, and independent way. Promoting the conditions for a children’s healthy development depends on knowing how it manifests in different aspects through their development. In the present work, cognition, motricity, nutrition, metabolism, and epigenetics during child development were studied in an integrative and multidisciplinary manner based on the last 40 years of research on child development; with the use of sensitive periods as parameters, whose plasticity is greater than in any other period in life, and which is translated into windows of opportunity for healthy interventions to suggest stimuli according to a specific milestone, democratizing such knowledge, thus making it accessible and functional to parents, teachers, and caregivers of children from zero to 6 years of age.

The mass media, the Internet and social networks have democratized access to architectural content. This communication is based on the analysis of the emergence of these products of expression and is based on the pedagogical basis that maintains that integrating supplementary didactic resources into the strictly professional context enriches learning. To do this, it is based on a teaching experience consisting of the development of a dissemination project focused on the characteristic elements of the architectural language of a prestigious figure accessible to a general public. This experience favored the creation of a space for debate around how to incorporate these new languages in the architectural learning process without losing the rigor required in university training. In addition, it enabled students to reflect on how to communicate their work to reach the entire society, a fundamental learning for their future employment.Los medios de comunicación de masas, internet y las redes sociales han democratizado el acceso a contenidos de arquitectura. Esta comunicación parte del análisis de la irrupción de estos productos de expresión y se fundamenta sobre la base pedagógica que sostiene que integrar recursos didácticos laterales al contexto estrictamente profesional enriquece el aprendizaje. Para ello, se basa en una experiencia docente consistente en la elaboración de un proyecto de divulgación centrado en los elementos característicos del lenguaje arquitectónico de una figura prestigiosa accesible para un público general. Esta experiencia favoreció la creación de un espacio de debate alrededor de cómo incorporar estos nuevos lenguajes en el proceso de aprendizaje de la arquitectura sin perder el rigor exigible en la formación universitaria. Además, posibilitó a los estudiantes reflexionar sobre cómo comunicar su trabajo para llegar a toda la sociedad, un aprendizaje fundamental para su futura inserción laboral.
