O processo avaliativo escolar sempre foi algo muito questionado por professores, famílias e estudantes. Muitos desafios na eficácia sobre os resultados obtidos das avaliações somativas são oriundas de que não representam a aprendizagem significativa. Dessa forma a avaliação formativa/processual como referência de aprendizagem, através do uso consciente das plataformas digitais, contribuem significativamente para a autonomia da aprendizagem e consequentemente, o aluno como co-autor na construção do próprio conhecimento. Nota-se que as plataformas digitais contribuem significadamente nesse processo e que o cenário educacional, não mais pode negar a necessidade da ampliação do uso da avaliação formativa com a utilização das ferramentas digitais em todas as modalidades de ensino. Porém, o uso das plataformas requer uma postura ética e comprometedora tanto por parte dos profissionais quanto dos alunos com os propósitos colaborativos inerentes para a avaliação se tornar mais eficaz. O objetivo desse trabalho é evidenciar como a avaliação formativa/processual contribui para a formação de estudantes cada vez mais reflexivos e autônomos e colaborativos na busca do conhecimento. A metodologia usada para a obtenção dos resultados foram estudos bibliográficos sobre o tema, trazendo as contribuições das tecnologias digitais como ferramentas colaborativas para o cenário da educação.

Published: November 2023

La guanábana (Annona muricata L., 1753), es una fruta apreciada por sus beneficios para la salud humana, lo cual ha fomentado que más emprendedores incursionen en este rubro; sin embargo, existen especies insectiles que pueden afectar el cultivo, por lo que el objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar los potenciales insectos plaga persistentes en cultivos de traspatio de guanábana en Panamá. Para ello, desde abril de 2020 hasta marzo de 2023, se

visitaron cinco traspatios con guanábana en el país: El Embarcadero, Panamá; Arraiján, Panamá Oeste; Cerro Turega, Coclé; Llano Abajo, Los Santos; Veladero de Tolé, Chiriquí. El estudio fue de naturaleza observacional, descriptiva y exploratoria, desarrollándose 10 recorridos de campo por sitio (50 en total) en horas matutinas, concentrados durante los meses de abril a julio, que son los de mayor producción y se listó la vegetación aledaña predominante. Se revisaron un total de 17 árboles durante el estudio, registrándose la frecuencia de observación por especie insectil por visita, requiriéndose haberla encontrado en al menos un árbol por visita por localidad. De acuerdo con los resultados, en las cinco localidades de estudio, con 10 avistamientos por sitio (50 en total), se encontraron especímenes de Guayaquila gracilicornis (Stål, 1869) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) asociados a Camponotus sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) y Trigona sp. (Hymenoptera: Apidae). En Arraiján se encontró también con 10 avistamientos a Antiteuchus tripterus (Fabricius, 1787) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae); especie plaga de otros rubros estratégicos como el cacao. En conclusión, se identificaron tres potenciales insectos plaga de guanábana de traspatio en Panamá.

Published: November 2023

El equino desempeña un papel fundamental para el bienestar y la economía de la comunidad rural panameña. Para caracterizar el rol que desempeñan estos animales, la FUCAEP llevó a cabo una encuesta con 500 familias rurales en 2019, que incluyó preguntas abiertas y cerradas acerca del uso, alimentación, salud, bienestar y manejo de los caballos. Los datos se recopilaron a través de entrevistas, observaciones y la recolección de información. Los resultados del estudio muestran que el equino es crucial para el transporte, el trabajo agrícola y otras actividades, permitiendo a las familias rurales mejorar su economía. Sin embargo, esta contribución se encuentra amenazada por diversos factores, incluyendo la falta de conocimiento sobre los cuidados adecuados del caballo, la escasez de recursos económicos, la pobreza, la inseguridad alimentaria, y la falta de un marco legal sobre el cuidado de los equinos. Por lo tanto, es imperativo que los propietarios y las entidades gubernamentales trabajen de manera conjunta para garantizar el bienestar y mejorar la calidad de vida de los equinos.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To examine analgesic methadone prescriptions among community health center (CHC) patients with chronic pain.
Design: Observational; two cross-sectional periods.
Setting: Oregon and California CHCs.
Patients: Chronic pain patients with ≥1 visit in 2012-2013 or 2017-2018 (N = 158,239).
Outcomes: Changes in adjusted relative rates (aRRs) of receiving no opioids, short-acting only, long-acting only other than methadone, and methadone; characteristics associated with ≥1 methadone prescription.
Results: Opioid prescribing declined over time, with the largest decrease in methadone (aRR = 0.19, 95 percent confidence interval: 0.14-0.27). Among patients receiving ≥1 long-acting opioid, variables associated with methadone prescribing included being aged <65 years, having nonprivate insurance, and an opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis. From 2012-2013 to 2017-2018, aRR increased among patients with OUD and decreased for those aged 18-30 (vs ≥65), uninsured and Medicaid-insured (vs private), and race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic Black (vs non-Hispanic White).
Conclusions: Methadone prescribing decreased in CHCs but remained elevated for several high-risk demographic groups.

Objective: This analysis seeks to understand variables within our institution that impact pain management agreement (PMA) utilization for chronic noncancer pain (CNCP).
Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Public academic medical center.
Patients: Adults prescribed an opioid for CNCP between July 2020 and October 2020.
Main outcome measure: We assessed the association between patient demographics, prescription factors, and prescriber factors with the presence of a PMA. Unadjusted rates and chi-square tests were generated for each predictor. Additionally, we performed two multivariable logistic regressions: one including all variables and another utilizing a stepwise forward variable selection process to further understand the relationships between predictors and the presence of a PMA.
Results: 49.7 percent of patients who received an opioid for CNCP had a PMA on file. One significant predictor of the presence of PMA was prescriber specialty with anesthesia/pain medicine, demonstrating 88 percent compliance. Compared to anesthesia/pain medicine, patients receiving opioids from internal medicine had an odds ratio (OR) of 0.155 (95 percent confidence interval (CI), 0.109-0.220), while patients receiving opioids from family medicine had an OR of 0.122 (95 percent CI, 0.090-0.167). Additionally, patients who received schedule II opioids (as opposed to schedule III/IV opioids), patients with multiple opioid fills in 3 months, middle aged patients, and Black patients were more likely to have a PMA.
Conclusions: Compliance with PMA within our institution was only 49 percent despite an existing state law mandating use. Our analysis suggests quality improvement interventions should target patients on schedule III/IV opioids who receive their prescriptions from primary care providers.

Published: November 2023

Dendrocalamus asper is a species of bamboo that has high commercial value and is the bamboo of choice for large scale agro-forestry plantations in the tropical regions of the world. Micropropagation using tissue culture is essential to generate uniform clones that are amenable to establishment in industrial agro-forestry projects for bamboo biomass, habitat restoration or in carbon sequestration. This paper reports on the establishment of D. asper invitro using commercially available seeds. The seeds were surface sterilized using three different chemical agents which were Sodium Hypochlorite (20%), Mercuric Chloride (0.1%) and Ethanol (70%) followed by shoot initiation on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) with a concentration ranging from 1.0 - 5.0 mg/L. Propagules were multiplied on MS media supplemented with different concentration of IBA Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) and Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), and finally rooted and hardened in peat moss. The findings of our study indicate that the sterilization protocol eliminated all the plant pathogens, resulting in an axenic culture. Full strength MS medium supplemented with 5 mg/L BAP yielded the highest number of shoots (11.46 per explant) after four weeks of inoculation. The highest multiplication rate (3.95 shoots per explant) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 3 mg/L BAP. The time required from initiation to hardening was 70 to 90 days, following which the plantlets were ready for field trials. The findings of this study will facilitate the establishment of plant tissue culture programmes dedicated to the production of D. asper locally, thus eliminating the need for imports and the possible entry of plant pathogens that can be detrimental to the local agro-forestry industry.

Published: November 2023

The present study seeks to investigate the distribution patterns of angiosperm climbers within the Bhadrak district of Odisha, India, along with an assessment of the ecosystem services they provide. The ongoing inquiry into climbing plant species within the Bhadrak district reflects the diversity of 103 species distributed across 71 genera and 33 families. The three most diverse families are Convolvulaceae (22), Cucurbitaceae (15), and Fabaceae (14). Out of 103 climbing plant species, 72 species are herbaceous vines and 31 species are woody vines representing 69.9%, and 30.1%, respectively. The most common climbing method in the studied sites is stem twining, accounting for 70 species or 68% of the total, the second most common is tendril climbing (22 species, 21.4%), and the least, root climber (2 species, 1.9%). Local communities use these climbers for various purposes. It has been observed that out of 103 species, 61 species have medicinal properties (59.2%), 16 species have ornamental value (15.5%), 17 species are edible (16.5%), and the remaining 8 species have other uses (8.8%). These results indicate the importance of climber communities to plant diversity of Bhadrak district, enhancing the regional diversity and the conservation value of these forest remnants. Habitat degradation because of rapid development activities with limitation of the supporting tree species is found to be a serious threat to climbing plants. Employing a multifaceted strategy such as securing their habitats through protection, restoration, managing invasive species and promoting collaboration among local stakeholders and organizations, ensures the preservation of these vital plants, sustaining biodiversity and ecosystem health for the future.

Published: November 2023

This study documented 11 species of gingers belonging to nine genera distributed in three tribes and two subfamilies from Mt. Musuan and its vicinity in Bukidnon, Southern Philippines. Data revealed that Zingiberaceae species in these sites constitute ca. 8% of the total number of Philippine Zingiberaceae. Alpinia haenkei C.Presl., A. purpurata (Vieill.) K.Schum., Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe, Etlingera philippinensis (Ridl.) R.M.Sm., Hornstedtia conoidea Ridl., Meistera muricarpa (Elmer) Škorničk. & M.F.Newman, and Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith. were recorded in Mt. Musuan, while Amomum dealbatum Roxb., Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M.Sm., Hedychium coronarium Koenig, Hornstedtia conoidea Ridl., and Wurfbainia elegans (Ridl.) Škorničk. & A.D.Poulsen. were collected in CMU View Deck in Kibulawan. Of the collected species, five of these (3.52% endemicity compared to the total number of Philippine Zingiberaceae) are endemic to the Philippines, while the other six species are introduced. These species are mostly associated with fern species, such Dicranopteris linearis (Burm.f.) Underw. and Lygodium circinnatum (Burm.f.) Sw., and angiosperms Musa textilis and under the shades of dipterocarpaceae species. This paper is the first taxonomic report on Zingiberaceae in Mt. Musuan and vicinity which was not documented in the previous studies conducted at Philippine Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) Sites. Since Mt. Musuan is not a protected area and an open site for ecotourism which is constantly visited by daily hikers, these species might be prone to depletion in their wild habitats. There is an urgent call for in situ conservation efforts that should be done by the concerned authorities of Central Mindanao University to help preserve and protect these ginger species.
Effects of Andrographis paniculata on Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4)-Mediated Renal Oxidative Damage in Rats
Authors: Iqbal Mohammad , Vun-Sang Senty , Koh Pei-Hoon 
Published: November 2023

A herbal medicinal plant known as Andrographis paniculata, or "hempedu bumi," is recognised for its numerous medicinal properties and role in promoting community health. Despite its widespread use, the potential nephroprotective effects and underlying mechanism of action of Andrographis paniculata remain unexplored. To address this gap, the present study aimed to investigate the nephroprotective effects of Andrographis paniculata against renal oxidative damage induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were pre-treated with Andrographis paniculata extract via gavage (100, 200, and 300 mg/kg b.w., respectively) once daily for 14 days, followed by two doses of CCl4 (1.2 ml/kg b.w.) on the 13th and 14th days. After two weeks, rats were sacrificed, and a nephroprotective analysis was performed. CCl4 administration at a dose of 1.2 ml/kg body weight resulted in oxidative stress in the renal system, as evidenced by elevated lipid peroxidation levels (TBARS). This oxidative stress was accompanied by a significant decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes and a depletion in the levels of reduced glutathione (p<0.05). Histopathological examination confirmed the impairment of renal function. Andrographis paniculata significantly mitigated the majority of these alterations. Based on our research, the nephroprotective advantages of Andrographis paniculata can be attributed to its ability to act as an antioxidant and scavenge free radicals.
