Re-Examining Vocational Education in Indian Education System on Reproducing Status quo among the Marginalized

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the status of vocational education and training (VET) in India, amid the Indian government’s focus on vocational education in schools to increase their employability. The authors discuss the challenges associated with the VET through socioeconomic implications especially for the marginalized population. The paper highlights the gaps between the aims of VET and Sustainable Development Goals 4 to access equitable and quality education and Sustainable Development Goal-8 for achieving a decent job amid the contrasting development through reduced public funding in education including VET. The paper observes an overlapping of general and vocational education and lower employment. The paper suggests sincere engagement of public and private stakeholders to provide VET to aspirants irrespective of any discrimination. Finally, the paper recommends higher public funding to create a stronger robust VET system and to offer more inclusivity and quality education and training for all.

The Evaluation of the Impact of Different Drip Irrigation Systems on the Vegetative Growth and Fruitfulness of ‘Gala’ Apple Trees

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The consequences of a changing climate in Central Europe are changes in precipitation patterns and the number of rainfall days per year, an increase in the dry summer months, and, most importantly, a reduction in the availability of water resources for orchard production. This study presents a novel evaluation of irrigation systems in commercial apple orchards, highlighting how their installation can improve water use efficiency and orchard productivity. The following systems were used in the experiments: IR+F-A (drip line placed on a wire mesh), IR+F-B (two drip lines placed on both sides of an auxiliary structure), and IR+F-C (two drip lines placed below the soil surface). Among these, the IR+F-C system achieved the best performance, prolonging annual shoot growth by 10.5%, increasing fruit weight by up to 8.5%, and enhancing the proportion of Extra Class fruits by 29%, and yielding 6–10% more per hectare than the other irrigation treatments. These quantitative findings emphasize the novelty of subsurface drip irrigation under Central European conditions and demonstrate its potential to improve water use efficiency and fruit quality, offering a viable strategy for adapting orchard management to climate change.
The perceptions and attitudes of patients with epilepsy to the use of a seizure diary, South Africa

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Epilepsy is responsible for a significant proportion of the world’s disease burden, affecting around 50 million people globally. A seizure diary is a self-management tool for epilepsy focusing on self-monitoring, tracking seizures and other symptoms. This study aimed to determine the perceptions and attitudes to the seizure diary in patients with epilepsy in the Free State and Northern Cape of South Africa. Methods: This cross-sectional survey method included adult patients with epilepsy attending Universitas Academic Hospital Specialist Epilepsy Clinic in Bloemfontein and local clinics in Kimberley (City, Beaconsfield and Betty Gatsewe), as well as the casualty department of Kimberley hospital (Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital). The Kimberley patients were diary-unexposed, while the Bloemfontein patients were patients who had previous exposure to the seizure diary. Results: A total of 182 patients with epilepsy were recruited for the study, of whom 65 were patients who had previous exposure to the seizure diary, and 117 were unexposed. In the patients who had previous exposure to the seizure diary, 64 (98.5%) found the diary useful, but 15 (23.1%) reported having various challenges with using the seizure diary. Almost all of the patients who had previous exposure to the seizure diary, 64 (98.5%), were willing to continue to use the diary, while 112 (95.7%) of the diary-unexposed patients were also willing to use the diary. Conclusion: Information from some patients using the diary confirms various challenges with its use; however, most patients support the continued usage of the diary.
Intermolecular Coupling of Vibrations in Molecular Crystals. II. Intermolecular Forces in CH3Cl and CD3Cl

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The effect of isotope substitution on band splittings caused by dipole coupling between molecules is examined. For methyl chloride and methyl bromide, the results support the contention that the theory of dipole coupling in its present form is not sufficient to explain the splittings in most bands. The theory of atom-atom interactions presented in part I of this series is applied to various possible potentials coupling the motions of normal and deuterated methyl chloride molecules. A repulsive potential acting between hydrogen atoms of neighboring molecules accounts for the splittings of several bands. Certain types of coupling potentials seem ruled out by the results of these calculations, while others are left as possible factors in band shifts which occur when a gas is condensed.
Electron microscopy studies of PZT ferroelectric film capacitor structures

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Lead zirconium titanate films (Pb (Zr,Ti) O 3 or PZT) are being considered for potential application as dielectric films in memory technology due to their high dielectric constants. PZT is a ferroelectric material which shows spontaneous polarizability, reversible under applied electric fields. We report herein some results of TEM studies on thin film capacitor structures containing PZT films with platinum-titanium electrodes. The wafers had a stacked structure consisting of PZT/Pt/Ti/SiO 2 /Si substrate as shown in Figure 1. Platinum acts as electrode material and titanium is used to overcome the problem of platinum adhesion to the oxide layer. The PZT (0/20/80) films were deposited using a sol-gel method and the structure was annealed at 650°C and 800°C for 30 min in an oxygen ambient. XTEM imaging was done at 200KV with the electron beam parallel to <110> zone axis of silicon. Figure 2 shows the PZT and Pt layers only, since the structure had a tendency to peel off at the Ti-Pt interface during TEM sample preparation.
Is it acceptable for medical professionals to kiss paediatric patients?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

It is human nature, perhaps more so for doctors and nurses, to comfort children in distress. Unfortunately, however, necessary medical procedures carried out by healthcare providers (eg, venipuncture) can often result in pain and discomfort, which may in turn cause the provider a degree of guilt and distress. Is it ever acceptable to comfort a paediatric patient with a kiss? This essay examines the literature published on this subject reflecting on a recent encounter with a patient.
[Ophthalmic herpes zoster and delayed contralateral hemiparesis: a chance occurrence (author's transl)].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 57 years-old woman developed a right hemiparesis with dysphasia four weeks after left Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus. The CSF was normal while cerebral angiography showed segmental narrowing of the left carotid syphon and terminal branches. The patient's condition improved during the next few days with almost full recovery. Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus followed by a controlateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia is a relatively infrequent clinical syndrome. After a review of the relevant literature and discussion of the various theories of causation, the authors suggest a chance relation between the two pathological conditions.
Separation, Characterization and Discriminant Analysis of Subvisible Particles in Biologics Formulations

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Background: The presence of subvisible particles (SVPs) in parenteral formulations of biologics is a major challenge in the development of therapeutic protein formulations. Distinction between proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous SVPs is vital in monitoring formulation stability. Methods: The current compendial method based on light obscuration (LO) has limitations in the analysis of translucent/low refractive index particles. A number of attempts have been made to develop an unambiguous method to characterize SVPs, albeit with limited success. Results: Herein, we describe a robust method that characterizes and distinguishes both potentially proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous SVPs in protein formulations using Microflow imaging (MFI) in conjunction with the MVAS software (MFI View Analysis Suite), developed by ProteinSimple. The method utilizes two Intensity parameters and a morphological filter that successfully distinguishes proteinaceous SVPs from non-proteinaceous SVPs and mixed aggregates. Conclusion: he MFI generated raw data of a protein sample is processed through Lumetics LINK software that applies an in-house developed filter to separate proteinaceous from the rest of the particulates.
Participants' orientations to interruptions, rudeness and other impolite acts in talk-in-interaction

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This paper demonstrates how impoliteness is viewed from the perspective of conversation analysis. Offering an alternative to sociolinguistic policies of establishing the linguistic features that characterize impolite speech acts, it explores the ways that members themselves orient to actions in interaction as impolite, i.e., “rude” and/or “insulting”. The analysis draws on data from a range of settings including ordinary conversation, small claims courts, counselling sessions and broadcast talk to examine how, in such interactional environments, insults or episodes of rudeness may be produced, reported and responded to.
Near-term modeled forest fire area and fuel aridity projections

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Escalating burned area in western US forests has heightened the need to refine near-term forest fire projections. One critical knowledge gap is how fire-fuel feedbacks may constrain such projections. We use both static climate-fire models and dynamic models that incorporate feedbacks to project future western US forest-fire area. Compared to 1991-2020, static models for 2021-2050 project a doubling in forest-fire area, increased year-to-year variability, and increased occurrence of years with forest-fire area exceeding the 2020 fire season. Dynamic models that incorporate fire-fuel feedbacks project more moderate increases, but still show a 46-90% increase in forest-fire area compared to 1991-2020. Our results emphasize the need to mitigate against the negative effects of more fire in the coming decades.

NEW RECORDS OF PARASITES IN CAPTIVE CANARIES (SERINUS CANARIA) IN ITALY

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Few data are available worldwide on parasite infections of canaries (Serinus canaria), although they are highly popular pet and aviary birds. In this study, 188 canaries of various age, including 134 live and 54 deceased birds, from three Italian aviaries were examined for parasite infections and associated lesions. Ectoparasites were collected directly from infected animals, fixed and microscopically identified at the species level. For the search of endoparasites,individual and pooled faecal samples were quali-quantitatively analysed by flotation test and by a modified McMaster method. Isolated coccidian oocysts were microscopically identified at the species level after sporulation in 2% K2Cr2O7. Deceased animals were necropsied and analysed by parasitological and histopathological techniques. Coccidia were isolated in all examined aviaries (overall prevalence 35.6%, 67/188). After sporulation, Isospora canaria, Isospora serini and Isospora serinuse were identified. Higher infection intensity and clinical disease were observed mainly during the moulting period. Histopathology revealed associated moderate to severe degree of lympho-plasmacityc enteritis with high percentages of macrophages filled by merozoites. In I. serini-infected birds, cells containing coccidian stages were found also in extraintestinal organs, as lungs, liver, spleen and pancreas. No other endoparasites were found. About ectoparasites, the blood-sucking mite species Ornithonyssus sylviarum and the chewing louse species Menacanthus eurysternus (Syn. M. spinosum) were identified in all (78) examined birds from an examined aviary. This study is the first record of Isospora serinuse, Ornithonyssus sylviarum and Menacanthus eurysternus in Italy.
Barriers to Expertise in Citizen Science Games

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Expertise-centric citizen science games (ECCSGs) can be powerful tools for crowdsourcing scientific knowledge production. However, to be effective these games must train their players on how to become experts, which is difficult in practice. In this study, we investigated the path to expertise and the barriers involved by interviewing players of three ECCSGs: Foldit, Eterna, and Eyewire. We then applied reflexive thematic analysis to generate themes of their experiences and produce a model of expertise and its barriers. We found expertise is constructed through a cycle of exploratory and social learning but prevented by instructional design issues. Moreover, exploration is slowed by a lack of polish to the game artifact, and social learning is disrupted by a lack of clear communication. Based on our analysis we make several recommendations for CSG developers, including: collaborating with professionals of required skill sets; providing social features and feedback systems; and improving scientific communication.
P1584 Characteristics of a new subgroup in chronic heart failure: heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Classification of patients with heart failure is based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Until recently, two types of patients had been distinguished based on LVEF: those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and those with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The ESC guidelines of 2016 introduced a third separate subgroup for patients with a LVEF in the range of 40-50%: Heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF). Purpose The goal of this study is to characterize and compare this subgroup (HFmrEF) to the other two subgroups (HFpEF and HFrEF). Secondly, mortality rates were studied and compared, depending on LVEF classification and global longitudinal strain (GLS). Methods All patients with Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) seen at the heart failure clinic, during a 1-year period were enrolled in this retrospective study. As an inclusion criterion in our study population, we only allowed patients with chronic heart failure, who were treated at least once with diuretics or a cardiac resynchronization therapy for heart failure. After gathering data of the HF population, the 3 subgroups (HFrEF, HFpEF and HFmrEF) were compared on the basis of different parameters like comorbidities, lab results, medication, ECG and echocardiography. Results HFmrEF significantly differed from HFpEF concerning the following parameters: higher prevalence of male gender and ischemic aetiology, lower prevalence of valvular and hypertensive aetiology, more dilated left ventricles and higher usage of ACE inhibitors and betablockers. HFmrEF was similar to HFpEF concerning older age, high prevalence of tachyarrhythmia, low use of device therapy and aldosterone antagonists. The survival rate after 853 days was 81,6% in HFrEF, 76,3% in HFmrEF and 81,1% in HFpEF (p = 0,634). When looking at the whole patient population, the Kaplan Meier estimation was significant (p &lt; 0,001) with a survival rate after 853 days of 33,3% for the group with lower absolute values than 6,3% for GLS and 85% for group with higher absolute strain values. Conclusion Patients with HFmrEF didn’t really differentiate as one class apart from HFrEF or HFpEF, but some characteristics were similar to HFrEF, and some others to HFpEF. Finally some characteristics of HFmrEF were more in a grey zone with none of the characteristics of both HFrEF nor HFpEF. The all cause survival rate in 853 days among the 3 LVEF based groups, were quite similar. While the Kaplan Meier estimation indicated a lot higher mortality when GLS&gt;-6,3% compared to GLS &lt;-6,3%. Classifying chronic HF patients is probably more complex than simply stratifying patients by LVEF cut-off values. One must not forget to take comorbidities and aetiology in mind while managing heart failure. Abstract P1584 Figure. Aetiology in LVEF based groups

Effect of NPK application dates on agronomic parameters of two Bambara groundnut varieties cultivated on ferric Lixisol in northern Sudanian Sector of Burkina Faso

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Bambara groundnut is a neglected legume crop that contributes to improve global food and face food insecurity. In Burkina Faso, research on Bambara groundnut cropping system were essentially focused on mounding times. Less attention has been paid on the application of fertilizers. Experiments was carried out on the site of Tenkodogo University Centre (11°48'37''N, 0°22'19''W), Burkina Faso to study the response of two Bambara groundnut varieties to different NPK application periods. The experiments consisted of a factorial combination of two factors, including the varieties (KVS 235 and KVS 246) and the different NPK application dates (At basal, 7, 15 and 21 days after sowing) in completely randomised blocks with three replications. Characters were collected, including plant height and spread, total biomass at flowering, stalks weight, yield-components and yield. The results indicated that most of characters not varied significantly for both varieties whatever NPK application period except for stalks weight (P = 0.013). The interactions between varieties and NPK application dates had significant effects for only total biomass at flowering (P = 0.048). In addition, pod length has significant effect (P = 0.032) between varieties. The significant effect on the characters mentioned above in both varieties implies that application of NPK fertilizer have influenced the characteristics differently, depending on the period of bringing. NPK application at basal lead to best performance of the results regarding pod and seed dimension and 100-seeds weight and yield. In general, KVS235 outperformed than KVS 246.

An Analysis of Business Entity Elements as Business Actors in Relation to Foundations: A Review of Indonesian Government Regulation No. 5 of 2021

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This research aims to analyze the elements of business entities in relation to Foundations. The designation of Foundations as legal entities or non-legal entities has been a subject of discourse in the field of law because Law No. 28 of 2004 stipulates that Foundations cannot directly engage in business activities but must do so through business entities they establish. This has led to differing opinions: one group believes that Foundations are not legal entities, while another group argues that Foundations are business entities since they engage in profit-seeking activities. This research employs empirical legal research methods, with the research conducted in South Sulawesi, utilizing primary and secondary data collected through interviews and literature studies. The findings reveal that in analyzing the elements of a legal entity in relation to Foundations, one element is not fulfilled, namely the profit-seeking objective. Foundations engage in activities to increase profits not as their ultimate goal, but solely to ensure the sustainability of the Foundation so that its purposes and objectives can be achieved.
