Published: September 2023

<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Boardwalk Cisterns is a government program that aims to attend a population with precarious access to water in Brazil. Developed as part of the Zero Hunger strategy, it intends to increase food security and contribute to the realization of the human right to food. The objective of this study was to assess farmers’ perceptions of the Boardwalk Cisterns program and its impact on the food security situation of beneficiary households.<br>
<strong>Methods</strong>: Data were collected through a descriptive cross-sectional quali-quantitative survey. Questionnaires were applied to farming families selected from two municipalities in the state of Alagoas (Northeast Brazil), containing questions on sociodemographic characteristics, production methods, and food security status. The Free Evocation Technique for social representation, analyzed through the software <em>Ensemble of Programs Permettant L'analyze des Évocations</em>, was used to ascertain farmers’ perceptions of the program.<br>
<strong>Results</strong>: The study showed a positive perception of the interviewees in relation to the boardwalk cisterns. The program brought some improvement in the agricultural production conditions and, consequently, in the food security situation of the households. Corn, beans and cassava were the most common crops, with almost half of this production (48.3%) destined for consumption by the families themselves. Farmers also reported having more water, allowing them to plant more fruit trees, as well as medicinal and ornamental plants. Nevertheless, 79.1% of the households interviewed were still in a situation of food insecurity, of which 28.1% were classified as mild food insecurity, 26% as moderate food insecurity, and 25% as severe food insecurity.<br>
<strong>Conclusion</strong>: Farmers were correct in their perception that the Boardwalk Cisterns program improved their food security situation. The program resulted in greater access to water, and greater production and consumption of food. However, by itself, the Boardwalk Cisterns program was not enough to raise beneficiary families above their food-insecure status. The program alleviated the problem of food insecurity, but other complementary government interventions are needed to guarantee the food security of families living in extreme poverty.</p>
Is the right to early intervention being honoured? A study of family experiences with early childhood services
Authors: Underwood Kathryn , Frankel Elaine B. , Spalding Karen , Brophy Kathleen 
Published: September 2023

<p>This article presents an empirical study of family interactions with childhood disability and early years services in Ontario, Canada, with a focus on whether the right to early intervention is being honoured. International mandates, national legislation, and local policies have increased global awareness of the rights of children to be provided with environments for optimal healthy development and education, including the right to early intervention. The right to early intervention is articulated by the United Nations in several international declarations and conventions. Article 20 of the <em>Convention on the Rights of the Child</em> (CRC, 1989) was the first convention to use the term disability. It specifically addresses the particular rights of disabled children, with articulation of the right to “enjoy a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance, and facilitate the child’s active participation in the community” (A.20, s.1, 1990). Further, the CRC clearly states that children have the right to special care and assistance for both the child and the service providers working with the child. Services are to be delivered free of charge in order to ensure that the child has access to education, training, health care, rehabilitation, preparation for employment, and recreation services. In all cases these services must consider the fullest social integration and individual development that is consistent with cultural and spiritual beliefs (A.20, s.2-4). </p>
Collaborative Application of Resilience Education (CARE): Fostering Resilience to Combat Depression and Anxiety in Graduate Students
Authors: Lee Jocelyn , Moore Alexander , Prabhune Radhika , Marcon Edyta , Foty Richard 
Published: September 2023

Background: Graduate students experience depression and anxiety at rates six times higher than the general population. A literature review of resilience education and an environmental scan of existing preventative resources found that current university-provided mental health interventions are primarily reactive, short-term, and crisis-oriented. There remains a need for preventative resources that prepare students to effectively face adversity and maintain wellbeing during graduate school.
Purpose: In collaboration with experts in mental health, psychology, pedagogy, resource development, and graduate students themselves, our team aims to develop and implement a proactive, skill-based resource that teaches strategies to foster resilience in graduate school while emphasizing the importance of self-care, self-awareness, and help-seeking.
Methods: Our new co-created resource is to be assessed in three phases: (1) Qualitative Needs Analysis, (2) Intervention Ideation, and (3) Resource Validation. All participants for this study will be graduate students in the first two years of their degree and recruited from the University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine (TFM). Phase One will be conducted through qualitative focus groups to explore student needs and experiences with mental health resources. Focus group data will be transcribed and analyzed using NVIVO to establish criteria for our resource prototype. In Phase Two, all data, in addition to input from a student advisory committee composed of TFM graduate students, will be compiled to design our prototype. In Phase Three, focus groups will assess the prototype and provide their feedback on the content and functionality of the resource, and where it might be improved.
Anticipated Results and Potential Implications: Overall, we anticipate that this resource prototype will leave a positive impression on the Phase Two participants, helping them build their resilience-based skills and strategies for facing adverse events. Overall, given the correlation between increased resilience and improved mental health, we expect that this resource will reduce levels of depression and anxiety for students by preparing them for the stress they experience in graduate school. If successful, this resource may be adapted to address the needs of graduate students in different departments, universities, and institutions worldwide.

<img src=” https://s3.amazonaws.com/production.scholastica/article/88009/medium/prnano_1052023ga.jpg?1694809016”> Extracellular vesicles (EV) have garnered significant attention in the fields of drug delivery, imaging, and immunotherapy. There is a need in methods to enhance release of EVs from cells. We found that at high labeling concentrations (100µM), indocarbocyanine lipids DiD and DiR that are commonly used for labeling cells, nanoparticles and EVs, promoted shedding of cell membrane tetraspanins with concomitant release of EVs in the medium. To further investigate this phenomenon, we screened a library of lipids and liposomal formulations for the release of membrane marker CD63 from THP-1 cells, and membrane red nanolantern (RNL) from 4T1 cells. We found a strong dependency of the EV release on lipid structure. In general, lipids that had a cyanine headgroup were more efficient than PEGylated phospholipids, neutral and cationic liposomes, with some lipids enhancing the release of CD63 up to 4-fold, and of RNL up to 8-fold, over vehicle treated control. A side-by-side comparison of cyanine lipid derivatives and corresponding precursor lipids confirmed that the cyanine headgroup significantly promoted shedding of RNL. Mutation of an exosome biogenesis regulator UNC13D did not hinder the release. Lipid-released EV could be modified with anti-interleukin 13 receptor alpha 2 antibody and targeted to glioma cells, suggesting potential utility in drug delivery. Furthermore, the impact of extraneously added lipids on cell membrane integrity should be carefully considered in cell labeling and drug delivery applications.

Introducing an Open-Source Software for the Enterprise Resource Planning in the Business Management Degree
Authors: Puig-Denia A. , Forés B. , Fernández-Yáñez J.M. , Boronat-Navarro M. 
Published: September 2023

An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a program that integrates all the departments and functions of the entire organization in a single IT system [1]. Nowadays, it is possible to differentiate between two types of ERP systems: proprietary systems and open-source systems.
In order to profit from the advantages of open-source systems and overcome the drawbacks of free software, lecturers of the subject Introduction to Firms Information Systems at Universitat Jaume introduced Odoo software in the practical sessions of the course.
Using active methodologies, lecturers involve students in the design and implementation of an Odoo ERP for the management of a real business. In order to know the previous background, engagement, motivation, and overall satisfaction with this educational innovation, we carried out an online survey of students.
The results of this survey will be presented and suggest future avenues for carrying out actions that contribute to the knowledge of the management of these ERP management systems. In addition, the main implications for business management education will be presented.
Prevention by the CXCR2 antagonist SCH527123 of the calcification of porcine heart valve cusps implanted subcutaneously in rats
Authors: Chabry Yuthiline , Dhayni Kawthar , Kamel Saïd , Caus Thierry , Bennis Youssef 
Published: September 2023

IntroductionCalcification is a main cause of bioprosthetic heart valves failure. It may be promoted by the inflammation developed in the glutaraldehyde (GA)-fixed cusps of the bioprosthesis. We tested the hypothesis that antagonizing the C-X-C chemokines receptor 2 (CXCR2) may prevent the calcification of GA-fixed porcine aortic valves.Materiel and methodsFour-week-old Sprague Dawley males were transplanted with 2 aortic valve cusps isolated from independent pigs and implanted into the dorsal wall. Four groups of 6 rats were compared: rats transplanted with GA-free or GA-fixed cusps and rats transplanted with GA-fixed cusps and treated with 1 mg/kg/day SCH5217123 (a CXCR2 antagonist) intraperitoneally (IP) or subcutaneously (SC) around the xenograft, for 14 days. Then, rats underwent blood count before xenografts have been explanted for histology and biochemistry analyses.ResultsA strong calcification of the xenografts was induced by GA pre-incubation. However, we observed a significant decrease in this effect in rats treated with SCH527123 IP or SC. Implantation of GA-fixed cusps was associated with a significant increase in the white blood cell count, an effect that was significantly prevented by SCH527123. In addition, the expression of the CD3, CD68 and CXCR2 markers was reduced in the GA-fixed cusps explanted from rats treated with SCH527123 as compared to those explanted from non-treated rats.ConclusionThe calcification of GA-fixed porcine aortic valve cusps implanted subcutaneously in rats was significantly prevented by antagonizing CXCR2 with SCH527123. This effect may partly result from an inhibition of the GA-induced infiltration of T-cells and macrophages into the xenograft.
Determination and analysis of macro-featured parameters based on kilogram-level coal spontaneous combustion experiment
Authors: Xu Yanhui 
Published: September 2023

The quantitative characterization of coal spontaneous combustion and the accurate determination of the dangerous degree are hot and difficult in the field of coal mine safety. In the paper, the experimental test analysis of Huangling No. 2 coal was carried out by a self-designed and built kilogram-level coal spontaneous combustion experimental device, and the macro featured parameters were obtained and analyzed, such as temperature field, index gas, weight, oxygen consumption rate and exothermic intensity, and spontaneous combustion limit parameters. The results show that the experimental spontaneous combustion period of Huangling No.2 coal is 34 days. When the coal temperature was below the critical temperature of 74.59 °C, the oxidation of coal samples was relatively slow, and the oxygen consumption and the production rate of gas products did not change much. After the coal temperature exceeded the critical temperature, the oxygen consumption rate and exothermic intensity increased faster and the oxidation accelerated. After reaching the dry cracking temperature of 104.93 °C, the oxidation degree accelerated sharply. CO starts to appear at the beginning of the experiment, and the increase of CO gas concentration during the heating process is exponential and can be used as an index gas. Under the temperature condition of 40 °C, the floating coal of 0.7 m needs 25.83% oxygen concentration, and the maximum air leakage intensity of the coal is negative, and no spontaneous combustion will occur. The test data and calculation results of the experiment are important for the prediction and forecast of natural fires and the determination of the risk of spontaneous combustion on site.
