Plaza de la Sinagoga en el centro histórico de Onda
Authors: Senis Ester 
Published: December 2022

The idea was designed from an inclusive perspective, to improve the quality of life of people in the neighborhood. The project tries to reconnect the different levels of the place, building a floor with a continuous paving of anti-slipping stone as an adaptation of the traditional paving system. The connections with the streets are solved with soft ramps and with stairs of small height, to facilitate the daily displacements of the elderly people. The historical Valencia Street had been lost when the archaeological area was opened up and is connected from the historical center. A large wooden platform that adapts to the natural topography with steps, recovers this historic access road. The floating plaza is a continuity of the public space of the surrounding streets, which overflies the archaeological space. A floating pavement of iroko wood slats, with details of handcrafted placement, on a steel structure that allows it to adapt to the topography. An urban space made of wood promotes the tactile sensation of small scale in urban spaces.
La premisa inicial del proyecto fue dual al tener que realizar un proyecto de regeneración urbana, tratándolo con una perspectiva inclusiva para mejorar la calidad de vida de gente del barrio, y poner en valor los hallazgos arqueológicos de época andalusí (S.X-XII) y época cristiana (S.XIII-XV). El proyecto se centra además en reconectar los diferentes niveles del espacio urbano incluyendo un pavimento continuo de piedra adaptando el sistema de pavimentación tradicional local. Las conexiones con las calles se resuelven con rampas suaves y con peldaños reducidos para facilitar los desplazamientos diarios de los peatones.

Published: December 2022

Children with Deafblindness in Zambian communities face communication challenges. Communication forms the basis for human interaction, exchanging ideas and feelings, and facilitating inclusiveness in society. This study, anchored on the theory of dialogism as the theoretical framework, sought to assess the natural communication abilities of children with congenital Deafblindness and further explore measures taken by caregivers/parents to enhance the communication abilities of the children. A qualitative case study was used as the research design. Snowball sampling technique was used to sample three (3) children with congenital Deafblindness aged three (3), eleven (11), and twelve (12) and three (3) parents and one (1) relative who participated in the study, making the total number of (7) seven participants. The participants were from Lusaka, Copperbelt, and Northwestern provinces of Zambia. The findings were that children with congenital Deafblindness could use natural signs to communicate their feelings of happiness, frustration, or discomfort, detect sounds, express mistreatment, and use imitations, tapping, and pointing signs. The study concluded that although children with congenital Deafblindness can communicate, parents 1 and 2 naturally and relative o In contrast, parent 3 was able to communicate with her child with congenital Deafblindness through the use of Hand overhand communication, the object of reference, body contact and hand tactile techniques. The study recommended the need to teach communication techniques to parents and caregivers of children with Deafblindness in order to improve the communication skills of children with Deafblindness.

Minimization of Unsteady Propeller Forces that Excite Vibration of the Propulsion System
Authors: Brown Neal A. 
Published: December 2022

A simple method is presented for predicting the periodic forces Which act on a propeller operating in a spatially nonuniform wake flow. The method, based on a 10w aspect ratio type of approximation, yields results with an accuracy comparable to that of elaborate computer calculations but with considerable physical insight.
More important, the analysis has been inverted to create a design method explicitly yielding the propeller blade shape which will in principle produce zero net force for a chosen periodic component in a given wake field. A rational method for the design, of the propeller blade outline in terms of the distribution and total amount of skew, tailored to the wake, is thereby provided.
Model-scale measurements have demonstrated periodic thrust· fluctuations for propellers with blade forms designed by this method which are less considered theoretically minimum for the total blade skew incorporated.
The analysis indicates, and the measurements tend to verify, that the significant blade skew is that of the leading edge rather than the midchord line. The amount of skew required for force minimization may be half that previously believed necessary, but there are any number of skew distributions of greater amount which will in principle null a selected force component, each tailored to the same wake distribution.
Construction and operation of propeller blade forms designed by this method appear quite feasible.
La enseñanza de español como lengua extranjera en centros de Educación Primaria: haciendo de la necesidad virtud
Authors: Querol Bataller Maria 
Published: December 2022

Los informes de organismos oficiales, además del propio testimonio de los alumnos de prácticas de la Facultad de Magisterio que año tras año relatan sus vivencias en los centros escolares, constatan el paulatino aumento, especialmente en Educación Primaria, de alumnado de origen extranjero que desconoce la lengua vehicular del centro. A su vez, se constata también en el extranjero una demanda creciente y sostenida de los cursos de ELE a niños, tanto en la formación reglada como en la formación no reglada, en el nivel de Educación Primaria. Se hace, por tanto, cada vez más evidente que el grado de Educación Primaria debe desarrollar competencias y estrategias vinculadas a la enseñanza de Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE).
En el presente trabajo, además de revisar las medidas existentes para gestionar la mencionada realidad de los centros escolares, se expone una propuesta formativa que pueda contribuir, en el marco del aprendizaje activo y cooperativo, a conocer las dificultades del alumnado extranjero en el aprendizaje de las lenguas oficiales y a optimizar el apoyo lingüístico que se les brinda; en definitiva, a mejorar la inclusión de los alumnos de origen extranjero. Finalmente, se pretende también mostrar un nuevo horizonte laboral a los futuros egresados en Educación Primaria describiendo las perspectivas existentes con respecto a la ELE a niños en el extranjero en el contexto de la educación reglada en el nivel de primaria.
Culpa i ecocrítica: noves representacions poètiques de la culpa davant la crisi antropogènica en Mireia Calafell, Núria Mirabet i Silvie Rothkovic
Authors: Marcer Elisenda 
Published: December 2022

Com a resultat de la intersecció amb la biologia, la filosofia i l’antropologia, la psicologia ha generat un ampli corpus teòric sobre la teoria dels afectes i les emocions altament valuós en un context en què el subjecte es troba davant d’una crisi permanent de la biosfera. Estudiosos com Melanie Klein (1998, 2001) i Lawrence Buell (2016) coincideixen a distingir la depressió i la por com a emocions immediates a l’adversitat. Tanmateix, moltes altres de les anomenades emocions proscrites (Jaggar, 1989), com per exemple, l’odi, l’enveja o la vergonya, ofereixen interessants espais d’anàlisi per a possibles teoritzacions ecocrítiques.
Tot i que la poesia de principis del segle XXI, sobretot l’escrita per dones, està contribuint a desnaturalitzar tals associacions (Pons 2020), diria que aplicada a l’ecocrítica i ecopoètica la culpa adquireix noves possibilitats interpretatives. Des del punt de vista de la subjectivitat moderna, ja no pot expressar-se dins els límits del jo individual, sinó que ha d’encabir-se inevitablement en el subconscient d’un col·lectiu, i fins i tot, en el si de tota una espècie: la humana. Així, tenint en compte aquesta peculiaritat i el pes de la culpa en la cultura occidental, aquest capítol vol investigar les noves figuracions poètiques que la representen en el moment antropogènic. És a dir, de quina manera l’ecohumanisme es manifesta en la imaginació poètica quan se situa davant de narratives de destrucció, extinció i irreversibilitat antropogènica. Així, centrant-me en les darreres obres de poetes com Mireia Calafell, Núria Mirabet i Silvie Rothkovic, analitzaré quines són les estratègies més freqüents a l’hora de tractar amb emocions proscrites, concretament la culpa, com a tema poètic en relació amb el medi ambient.

Published: December 2022

The study on the relationship between time management skills and academic performance of students was conducted at Mariano Peralta National High School’s Open High School Program. Descriptive correlational design was employed and stratified random sampling technique was used. Data were gathered with the use of adapted survey questionnaire. The data collected were subjected to statistical analysis using Percentage, Mean and Spearman rank-order correlation.
Results revealed that most of the respondents exhibit good level of time management skills. With the academic performance, majority of the respondents belonged to approaching proficiency level which means that most of the respondents have developed fundamental knowledge and skills, with minimal guidance from the teacher or with peers, and can transfer them through authentic tasks. Correlation analysis revealed that there was a very high positive significant relationship between time management skills and academic performance of the respondents, which means that cultivating time management skills among the working students enrolled in open high school programs can significantly improve their academic performance. Hence, it is recommended that schools may consider designing relevant programs which will cultivate working students’ time management skills and thereby enhancing their academic success.

ImportanceUnprofessional behaviors and mistreatment directed at trainees continue to challenge the learning environment. Academic medical institutions should encourage reports of inappropriate behavior and address such reports directly to create a safe learning environment.ObjectiveTo determine the feasibility of creating and implementing an online reporting system for receiving and reviewing complaints of unprofessional behavior directed toward or experienced by students, postdoctoral trainees, and residents.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study assessed implementation of an online reporting system (feedback form) with a method for triaging reports, providing both positive and negative feedback, as well as adjudication and transparent public disclosure of aggregate data. The system was launched at a large urban academic medical center with numerous trainees that is fully integrated with a health system of 8 hospitals. Participants included faculty who interact with trainees, medical students, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and residents and clinical fellows. Follow-up began in October 2019 (at the time of tool launch) and lasted through December 2021. Data were analyzed from January to March 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were the numbers and types of reports according to the reporter and the person reported about.ResultsParticipants included 2900 faculty who interact with trainees, 600 medical students, more than 1000 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and 2600 residents and clinical fellows. Trainees submitted 196 reports, 173 (88.3%) of which described unprofessional interactions. Among the reports describing unprofessional behavior, 60 (34.7%) were from medical students, 96 (55.5%) were from residents and fellows, 17 (9.8%) were from graduate students or postdoctoral trainees, and 78 (45.1%) were from men. The majority of negative reports described behaviors by faculty (106 [61.3%]), followed by residents and fellows (24 [13.9%]). Twenty faculty (&amp;lt;1.0%) accounted for 52 (50.0%) of the 104 reports describing unprofessional behaviors. Since implementation, most trainees are aware of this process. An increasing number have reported instances of mistreatment, and those who shared concerns through the online system report satisfaction with the outcome of the response to the report.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, the new reporting mechanism facilitated identification of the small number of individuals associated with unprofessional behaviors toward trainees and increased awareness of the school’s commitment to creating a safe learning environment.
Spatiotemporal dimensions of community assembly
Authors: Shinohara Naoto , Nakadai Ryosuke , Suzuki Yuka , Terui Akira 
Published: December 2022

AbstractEcological communities are assembled through a series of multiple processes, including dispersal, abiotic and biotic filtering, and ecological drift. Although these assembly processes act in concert to structure local communities, their relative importance is considerably variable among study systems. While such contingency of community assembly has been widely appreciated, the empirical and theoretical evidence is scattered around in the literature, and few efforts have been made to synthesize it. In this mini‐review, we summarize the accumulated evidence of the context‐dependency of community assembly rules, to reach a rough generalization of the contingency. Specifically, we argue that spatial and temporal dimensions can serve as general axes that regulate the relative importance of assembly processes. To this end, we synthesize the current understanding of how the relative importance of multiple assembly processes changes with spatial scales and complexity, and with time in the long and short terms. This review concludes that spatial and temporal dimensions can be common currencies of community assembly rules that are shared across various systems.

AbstractThe red blood cell membrane (RBCm) provides tight protection, lowers the immunogenicity, and prolongs the circulation time of drugs in vivo when acting as the coating of drug delivery systems. However, the cellular uptake and release of drugs are hindered by RBCm. Docetaxel (DTX) is the first‐line medicine for treating triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC), but it induces tumor metastasis. To solve these dilemmas, in this study, the photosensitizer 1,1‐dioctadecyl‐3,3,3,3‐tetramethylindotricarbocyanine iodide (DiR)‐modified RBCm (DM) is prepared, which is coated onto a hybrid micelle consisting of the prodrugs of DTX and the anti‐metastasis agent calcitriol (CTL), obtaining a nanoparticle, named HDC‐DM. In a 4T1 tumor‐bearing mouse model, after injecting HDC‐DM, the intratumoral DTX and CTL concentrations are increased by 1.7 and 2.5 times compared with the free drug groups. After irradiating tumors with near‐infrared laser, DiR elicits the photothermal effect, triggering the rupture of RBCm and drug release, promoting drug penetration in tumors, and inducing immunogenic cell death. The tumor growth inhibition rate is 77%, and the formation of lung metastases is reduced by 82%, with good biocompatibility. It is suggested that the combination of phototherapy, chemotherapy, and anti‐metastatic therapy using HDC‐DM is expected to be a powerful strategy for treating TNBC.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBacterial infection is one of the most frequent wound complications and has become a major public health concern. Increasing resistance to antibiotics has been noted with these agents broadly used in wound management. It is an urgent demand to develop alternative antibacterial strategies with a reduced chance of resistance. Herein, a Nepenthes‐mimicking nanosheet array of MoS2 on carbon fibers (CF‐MoS2) is proposed to achieve dual bactericidal activities. First, the sharp edges of synthesized surfaces are capable of inducing physical disruption of cell membranes, demonstrating mechanical antibacterial activity like their natural counterparts. Second, in the presence of near‐infrared light, bioinspired CF‐MoS2 nanosheets are able to cause the death of damaged bacteria owing to their inherent photothermal properties. Such dual‐functional modes endow the surfaces with nearly 100% killing efficiency for highly concentrated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Furthermore, their potential to be applied as wound dressings for photothermal treatment of infectious wounds is also investigated in vivo. Bioinspired CF‐MoS2 dressings show advantages of synergistic disinfection and efficient promotion of wound regeneration. It is foreseen that this high‐performance and multifunctional CF‐MoS2 could afford a feasible broad‐spectrum treatment for non‐antibiotic disinfection.

AbstractThe oral route is highly desirable for colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment because it allows concentrating the drug in the colon and achieving a localized effect. However, orally administered drugs are often metabolized in the liver, resulting in reduced efficacy and the need for higher doses. Nanoparticle‐based drug delivery systems can be engineered to prevent the diffusion of the drug in the stomach, addressing the release at the target site, and enhancing the efficacy of the delivered drug. Here, an orally administrable galunisertib delivery system is developed with gelatin‐covered diatomite nanoparticles targeting the ligand 1‐cell adhesion molecule (L1‐CAM) on metastatic cells, and further encapsulated in an enteric matrix by microfluidics. The gastro‐resistant polymer protects the nanoparticles from the action of the digestive enzymes and allows for a sustained release of galunisertib at the intestinal pH. The efficacy of antibody–antigen interactions to drive the internalization of nanoparticles in the targeted cells is investigated in CRC cells expressing abnormal (SW620) or basal levels (Caco‐2, HT29‐MTX) of L1‐CAM. The combination of local drug release and active targeting enhances the effect of the delivered galunisertib, which inhibits the migration of the SW620 cells with greater efficiency compared to the free drug.

Published: December 2022

AbstractIncreasing pursuit of next‐generation wearable electronics has put forward the demand of reliable energy devices with high flexibility, durability, and enhanced electrochemical performances. Flexible aqueous zinc–air batteries (FAZABs) have attracted great interests owing to the high energy density, safety, and environmental benignity, for which quasi‐solid‐state gel polymer electrolytes (QSGPEs) are state‐of‐the‐art electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, flexibility, and resistance to leakage problems of traditional liquid electrolytes. Compared to commonly used PVA–KOH electrolyte with poor electrolyte retention capability and cycling stability, a new type of sulfonate functionalized nanocomposite QSGPE is applied in FAZABs with high ionic conductivity, strong alkaline tolerance, and high zinc anode stability. Notably, the existence of (1) strong anionic sulfonate groups of QSGPEs, contributing to the exposure of preferred Zn (002) plane that is more resistant to zinc dendrite formation, and (2) nano‐attapulgite electrolyte additives, beneficial for the enhancement of ionic conductivity, electrolyte uptake, and retention capability, endows a ultralong cycling life of 450 h for the fabricated FAZAB. Furthermore, flexible energy belts and knittable energy wires fabricated with a series/parallel unit of several FAZABs can be used to power various wearable electronics.
Preventing Space Charge Accumulation by Incorporating Electrets

Published: December 2022

AbstractSpace charge accumulates near electrodes in insulating materials under high voltage direct current. Electric stress created by charge accumulation distorts electric field, reduces the remaining useful life of insulating materials, and decreases partial discharge inception voltage that are critical for ensuring the dielectric integrity of power applications. In this article, a novel approach that mitigates space charge accumulation using electrets is presented. Electrets are used to reduce electric fields that cause charge injection and space charge accumulation in dielectric materials. The validity of using electrets for preventing space charge accumulation is numerically and experimentally demonstrated. Bipolar charge transport model is developed to simulate space charge injection and accumulation in silicone rubber without and with the incorporation of electret. Space charge experiments are performed to confirm the numerical results. The results show that electrets can effectively mitigate space charge accumulation in dielectric materials. The results also show that the incorrect use of electret such as reversing the polarity can lead to more substantial space charge accumulation.
