It Takes a Village to Raise a Child: School, Family, and Community Involvement in High Schools in Jamaica.
Authors:   , McPherson Marisa 
Published: March 2022

<p><b>Research indicates that schools that involve the family and community in a mutual and collaborative relationship are generally more successful. This relationship is endorsed by all stakeholders as a launchpad to boost the academic performance of children, increase school retention, motivate students, and strengthen families and communities. However, despite the compelling case for school, family, and community involvement, there is relatively little empirical evidence documenting its merits (practice and subsequent outcomes) in developing countries including Jamaica.</b></p>
<p>A qualitative case study of four Jamaican high schools was employed to document the merits of school, family, and community involvement, and data was collected using interviews, observations, and document reviews. Epstein’s Theory of Overlapping Spheres of Influence and six typologies of school, family, and community involvement helped guide the research to facilitate the comparison of the ways in which schools that have been ranked high and low- performing by the National Education Inspectorate, Jamaica involve the family and community. The research looked at the strategies schools used, the possible outcomes of this involvement, and the challenges faced. The study offers a revised theoretical framework of Epstein’s model applicable to the Jamaican context and, potentially, to similar developing countries.</p>
<p>Key findings reveal that both high and low-performing schools experience challenges in involving the families and communities, but the high-performing schools are intentional and make school, family, and community involvement a priority. The high-performing schools have strong leadership, and their involvement programmes are multidimensional and linked to particular areas of engagement. These schools exude an atmosphere of positivity and commitment to the process; they are student-focussed; they build relationships, collaborate, and form partnerships with stakeholders; and family and community involvement is a school-wide initiative. This led the schools to experience the greatest overlap with the family and community based on Epstein’s theory. In addition, this study shows that leadership is crucial to the success of a school, family, and community involvement programme. Therefore, it is proposed that leadership be embedded at the centre of Epstein’s model.</p>
<p>This research provides some benchmarks for further similar studies in Jamaican or international school settings, especially in developing countries, and provides critical information for families, teachers, policymakers, and school officials attempting to design and implement family and community involvement initiatives. The study also identifies key implications for further research, policy, and practice for education policy planners.</p>

Make me dictator and I will save humankind
Authors: DE VITA Laurenc L. 
Published: March 2022

Aim: Humankind finds itself in a dire situation. Solutions have been put forth, but none has made a significant impact on carbon release or resources depletion. I add my proposal, the literary device of the dictator, to those who feel there is some possible remedy for our predicament.
Design / Research methods: This paper is part of a larger project which uses micro- and macro-sociology and cliodynamics, archaeology, evolutionary biology, and dissipative systems theory to describe both our global system, and its implications for our species. I briefly critique three other approaches regarding their likelihood of success.
Conclusions / findings: The self-organized dissipative system drives population, population density, and the exploitation and depletion of natural resources. The system is the interface between humans and the environment. It is unlikely any approach which is not 1. dramatic, 2. inclusive, and 3. determinedly focused on disarming the global system will prevent the complete depletion of the natural world, and the continued mass extinction.
Originality / value of the article: The paper challenges commonly held assumptions regarding the system and human participation in it. The paper should be of interest to anyone concerned about humankind.
Implications of the research (if applicable): The paper has strong implications for policy. It describes how perpetuating ideas like “sustainable growth” can only ensure the collapse of the global system, and perhaps the collapse of the natural systems as well. The consequence of applying the research would be desperate, frighteningly objective, but will allow, perhaps, Homo to continue.
Limitations of the research (if applicable): Future research could focus on re-interpreting data gathered by previous paradigms. Cliodynamics provides insight into the future by considering complex relationships. The limitations to the implications of the research lie in the fact that it is difficult for some to distinguish between “humankind” and the system.

Production of yellow passion fruit seedlings in different irrigation levels and substrate formulations

ABSTRACT: Producing quality passion fruit seedlings is of fundamental importance to enable the successful implementation of the culture, for this it is necessary that they are healthy and vigorous. The objective was to evaluate the development of yellow passion fruit seedlings, submitted to different substrates and irrigation depths. The design was completely randomized, 5 x 3. The treatments were composed of 5 substrates (1- soil and commercial substrate, 2- soil and barnyard manure, 3- soil, commercial substrate and barnyard manure, 4- soil and 5 - commercial substrate), and 3 irrigation depths, depth 1: 70%, 2: 100% and 3: 130% of field capacity with 3 repetitions for each treatment, each repetition consisted of 4 useful plants. The mean germination time, germination speed index, height, stem diameter and number of leaves in each plot at 30 and 60 days after germination, green matter of the aerial part, dry matter of the aerial part, green matter of root and root dry matter at 60 days after germination. The treatment that showed the best response in the growth of yellow passion fruit seedlings was the soil + substrate composition, not showing any influence of the different irrigation depths to which, it was submitted, which could be reduced by 30% of the field capacity.

Development of castor bean in compacted soil

ABSTRACT: The objective of the work was to make a preliminary evaluation of the response of the castor bean culture in compacted soil and to serve as a basis for future evaluations in field condition. The experiment took place at the Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso - Campus Campo Novo do Parecis with a Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico with a clay texture. The experimental design used was completely randomized, with 4 treatments, with soil densities: 1.0 Mg m-3; 1.2 Mg m-3; 1.4 Mg m-3 and 1.6 Mg m-3 and 6 repetitions. The experimental unit consists of a 0.2 m high vessel, formed by the overlap and assembly of two rigid PVC rings with a height of 0.1 m and an internal diameter of 0.17 m. The characteristics evaluated in the castor were stem diameter, plant height, number of leaves fixed on the plant stem, dry mass of the aerial part, dry mass of the root, total dry mass, height/diameter ratio, height/dry mass ratio of the part aerial, height/dry mass ratio of the root and dry mass of the aerial part/dry mass of the root. The castor bean crop is sensitive to the increase in soil density, presenting a drastic reduction in growth and aerial and root development, not being indicated for environments that may present restrictive layers in the soil.

Floristic and structure of the shrubby-arboreal component in a caatinga environment, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

ABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to evaluate the floristic and structure of the shrubby-arboreal component of a forest fragment in the municipality of Caraúbas in Rio Grande do Norte state. For the development of this study, the vegetation of an area of approximately 53 ha of caatinga was analyzed, where 12 sampling units (20 x 20 m) were allocated, using the Entirely Random Sampling. All living arboreal-shrubby individuals, with (CAP) ≥ 6 cm, were sampled and the parameters, circumference at breast height and total height were measured. With the data collected in the forest inventory, the following indexes were calculated: Shannon-Weaver diversity (H'), Simpson dominance (C) and Pielou evenness (J'), as well as the other phytosociological parameters of the horizontal and vertical. In the results, 19 species were observed, in 17 genera, distributed in 9 families. The families with the greatest species richness were Fabaceae (9) and Euphorbiaceae (3). The most abundant species with the highest importance value index (IVI) were Cordia glazioviana and Combretum leprosum. The studied area presents low species richness when compared to other remnants of caatinga vegetation.

As palmeiras são recursos vegetais de grande importância econômica e social no Brasil. Apesar da diversidade e amplo uso são pouco estudadas, havendo necessidade de mais pesquisas, principalmente, sobre a qualidade e composição de espécies ainda pouco exploradas. O trabalho objetivou caracterizar os óleos fixos extraídos do mesocarpo dos frutos de tucumã-açú e tucumã para identificar usos potenciais. Óleos fixos foram obtidos da Amazon Oil Industry LTDA, Ananindeua/PA, sob extração por prensagem a frio. Os tucumãs apresentaram diferenças em todas as propriedades físico-químicas avaliadas, com exceção do índice de peróxidos. Os óleos apresentaram elevado potencial em termos de constituintes bioativos, com destaque para o teor de clorofila total do óleo de tucumã (50,99 mg/100 g) e polifenóis extraíveis totais do óleo de tucumã (147,02 mg/100 g). Em relação ao perfil de ácidos graxos, o óleo de tucumã-açú apresentou elevado conteúdo de ácidos graxos insaturados, principalmente oleico e linoleico, com mais de 73%. Por ser fonte de compostos bioativos, há perspectivas de uso destes óleos como matérias-primas importantes para utilização em escala industrial e comercial, mas a qualidade destes óleos também implica num fator de relevância para o mercado consumidor, evidenciando necessidade de mais estudos.

Potential for use of fixed tucumãs oils

ABSTRACT: Palm trees are plant resources of great economic and social importance in Brazil. Despite their diversity and wide use, they are little studied, requiring more research, mainly on the quality and composition of species that are still underexplored. The work aimed to characterize the fixed oils extracted from the mesocarp of tucumã-açú and tucumã fruits to identify potential uses. Fixed oils were obtained from Amazon Oil Industry LTDA, Ananindeua/PA, under cold pressing extraction. Tucumãs showed differences in all physicochemical properties evaluated, with the exception of the peroxide index. The oils showed high potential in terms of bioactive constituents, especially the total chlorophyll content of tucumã oil (50.99 mg/100 g) and total extractable polyphenols from tucumã oil (147.02 mg/100 g). Regarding the fatty acid profile, tucumã-açú oil had a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic and linoleic, with more than 73%. As a source of bioactive compounds, there are prospects for the use of these oils as important raw materials for use on an industrial and commercial scale, but the quality of these oils also implies a factor of relevance for the consumer market, evidencing the need for further studies.

Lymphatic Absorption of Microbial Plasmalogens in Rats

Published: March 2022

Plasmalogens, functional glycerophospholipids with biological roles in the human body, are associated with various diseases. Although a variety of saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acids in plasmalogens are presumed to have different functions in the human body, there are limited reports validating such functions of plasmalogens. In this study, we focused on the bacterial plasmalogen derived from Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica (NBRC No. 103574) with different main species of hydrocarbon chains at the sn-1 position and shorter fatty acids at the sn-2 position than animal plasmalogens. Optimum culture conditions of S. ruminantium for high-yield production of plasmalogens, such as pH and the concentration of caproic acid, were investigated under anaerobic conditions using a 2-L scale jar fermenter. The obtained plasmalogen mainly consisted of the ethanolamine plasmalogen (PlsEtn). The molar ratios of PlsEtn species obtained from S. ruminantium, at sn-1/sn-2 positions, were p16:1/14:0 (68.4%), p16:1/16:1 (29.2%), p16:1/16:0 (0.7%), p16:1/15:0 (0.3%), and p17:1/14:0 (0.3%). Subsequently, duodenal infusion of the emulsion carrying the lipid extracted from S. ruminantium was carried out in lymph duct-cannulated rats. In the lymphatic plasmalogen of rats, the level of PlsEtns with molar ratios p16:1/14:0 and p16:1/16:1, the main species of plasmalogens from S. ruminantium, increased gradually until 3–4 h after lipid injection and then gradually decreased. In addition, the level of PlsEtns with p16:1/20:4 and p16:1/22:6 rapidly increased, peaking at 1–1.5 h and 1.5–2 h after lipid injection, respectively. The increase in the number of PlsEtns with p16:1/20:4 and p16:1/22:6 suggested that 20:4 and 22:6, the main fatty acids at the sn-2 position in the rat lymphatic plasmalogen, were preferentially re-esterified at the sn-2 position, regardless of the types of hydrocarbon chains at the sn-1 position. Thus, we showed that bacterial PlsEtns with “unnatural” structures against rats could be absorbed into the lymph. Our findings provide insights into the association between the chemical structure of plasmalogens and their biological functions in humans.
