Enabling Schools for All

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter focuses on efforts to introduce ecological and curriculum-based assessment methods in the context of the University of Manitoba - Trinidad and Tobago Special Education Project. The first step is to assess the magnitude and nature of the problem within the nation. For example, in 1983, in Trinidad and Tobago 169,420 children were enrolled in government and government assisted primary schools. A second step in an ecological approach to national needs assessment involves understanding the socio-political context in which change can be nurtured. These steps in developing a national needs assessment are pre-requisite to the success of teacher training activities. The application of these five principles of empowerment and collaboration involved the recursive use of a variety of assessment techniques to define and then encourage the goals and means for innovation and change. A considerable amount of information bearing on assessment methods at the classroom level was collected throughout the project.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the trigger tool method (TTM) in detection, monitoring, andreporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs).Methods: This was prospective, interventional, single center study conducted at department of Pharmacology,Darbhanga Medical College, Darbhanga, Bihar, India on a permanent basis, posted in Department of Medicine.A total 650 patients were admitted during the study period in the respective medicine unit.Results: A total of 650 patients who fulfill the selection criteria were enrolled. 70% were male and 30% werefemales. The mean age of patients was 43.07 ± 16.4 years, and the mean length of hospital stay was 5.75 ± 3.12days. Of the 650 patient cases, triggers were observed in 80 patients (12.30%). while 20 (25%) suffered one ormore ADRs. A list of 17 triggers was given to 30 nurses for identification of ADEs. List of 17 triggers consists of9 DT, 1 LT and 7 PT. Of these 17 triggers, 14 triggers were identified by nurses in the study population and 3triggers were not observed. These 14 triggers were noticed 130 times, with an average 12.53 triggers observed perpatient. These included DT (100 times), LT (0 times) and PT (30 times). Triggers were identified for a minimumonce and maximum 3 times in 95 patients. Of the various triggers observed, 7 drug triggers and 4 patient triggerswere related to ADRs. Hence 11 triggers (64.70%) were positive (related to ADRs), out of total 17 triggers underevaluation. A total 24 ADRs were observed in 25 inpatients during study period. One or more triggers wereobserved in these patients. The commonly detected ADRs were gastritis, thrombophlebitis, diarrhea and vomiting.Chills, cough, headache, joint pain, metallic taste, pruritus and weight gain were also observed.Conclusion: The reporting system is operational at the study site and ADRs are being reported using a standardform. Patients recovering from the reactions following the withdrawal of the suspected drug, and the majority ofADRs were mild. TTM can be used as an add‑on tool to existing methods like spontaneous method for thehealth‑care professionals for better detection of ADRs in the pharmacovigilance program. However, furtherresearch is required to explore the feasibility and acceptability of TTM

Hydrodynamic limit for asymmetric simple exclusion with accelerated boundaries

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the one-dimensional finite lattice $\{1,2,\ldots,N\}$. The particles can be created/annihilated at the boundaries with given rates. These rates are $L^\infty$ functions of time and are independent of the jump rates in the bulk. The boundary dynamics is modified by a factor $N^θ$ with $θ>0$. We study the hydrodynamic limit for the particle density profile under the hyperbolic space-time scale. The macroscopic equation is given by (inviscid) Burgers equation with Dirichlet type boundaries that is characterized by the boundary entropy. A grading scheme is developed to control the formulation of boundary layers on the microscopic level.
Trends in Legal Regulation of Corporate Governance in the Fuel and Energy Complex

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Corporate governance is crucial for a company’s operations. The effectiveness of establishing a corporate structure largely determines the outcomes of an organization’s activities. However, successful management depends not only on complying with the “language” of law but also on understanding modern trends and tendencies in the changing reality. This article examines current trends in corporate governance using the structures of large fuel and energy holdings as an example. It also proposes ways of optimization for the successful development of the country’s strategic activities in the near future. Restrictive measures and sanctions make companies feel vulnerable. Therefore, the legislation aims at protecting the rights and interests of major market players by implementing effective measures. However, a deep analysis of introduced concessions of requirements shows that not all of them have a positive effect. That is why this study focuses on the current problems and solutions. The author proposes measures to improve corporate governance systems, including the possibility of utilizing artificial intelligence and modernizing information disclosure to reflect current realities.
Differential patterns of plasticity to water availability along native and naturalized latitudinal gradients

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Questions: Does plasticity to water availability differ between native and naturalized and laboratory plant accessions? Is there a relationship between morphological plasticity and a fitness measure? Can we account for latitudinal patterns of plasticity with rainfall data from the seed source location? Organism: We examined an array of 23 native, 14 naturalized, and 5 laboratory accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Methods: We employed a split-plot experimental design in the greenhouse with two water treatments. We measured morphological and fitness-related traits at various developmental stages. We utilized a published dataset representing 30-year average precipitation trends for each accession origin. Results: We detected evidence of differential patterns of plasticity between native, naturalized, and laboratory populations for several morphological traits. Native, laboratory, and naturalized populations also differed in which traits were positively associated with fitness, and did not follow the Jack-of-all-trades or Master-of-some scenarios. Significant negative relationships were detected for plasticity in morphological traits with latitude. We found modest evidence that rainfall may play a role in this latitudinal trend.

Does Festival Quality Effect Psychological Well-being Through Festival Value and Festival Satisfaction?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the impact of festival quality on the psychological well-being of attendees at The Eras Tour in Indonesia, emphasizing the mediating roles of festival value and satisfaction. The background highlights the increasing significance of large-scale music events, which necessitate high-quality experiences to enhance attendee satisfaction and well-being. The research aims to explore how festival quality influences psychological well-being through perceived value and satisfaction. A questionnaire was administered to 190 Indonesian respondents who attended the concert, using a 5-point Likert scale for measurement. The analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the relationships among variables. Results indicate that festival quality positively affects both festival value and psychological well-being, confirming that higher quality leads to greater perceived value and emotional responses. While festival satisfaction did not significantly mediate this relationship, festival value emerged as a crucial mediator. These findings suggest that enhancing festival quality can improve attendees' psychological well-being, offering practical implications for event organizers to focus on aspects such as venue selection and service quality to foster a more satisfying experience. Future research should explore the long-term effects of these variables and develop validated measurement scales for better empirical comparisons.
A DECISION MODEL FOR SMALL BUSINESS LOANS

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT There are different credit-scoring models for the evaluation of consumer loans and commercial loans. The existing models for small business loans, however, concentrate entirely on financial data, ignoring other qualitative factors such as owner/manager capabilities. This article reviews the existing procedures for the evaluation of loans. Then, it attempts to model the loan officer's decision process through a three-step procedure: one, identifying all the key criteria including qualitative factors; two, ranking the importance of these criteria for different loan applications; and, three, developing a credit-scoring model based on multivariate statistical techniques for loan officers' behaviour. The article will conclude with an interpretation of the findings of the research.
Parenting in Ethnic Minority Families

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

T he American population is becoming increasingly heterogeneous with respect to its racial and ethnic composition.In fact, increases in the proportion of ethnic and racial minorities occurring over the past decade have been the most dramatic of the 20th century (McLoyd, 1998).Moreover, this trend is expected to continue, with projections indicating that "...between 2000 and 2010, the Latino, African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American populations will increase by 30%, 12.4%, 42%, and 13.7%, respectively, in contrast to an increase of only 2.8% in the non-Latino White population" (McLoyd, 1998, p. 4).These demographic trends are nowhere more evident than in Catholic schools in the United States.The proportion of ethnic minority students served by Catholic schools nearly doubled between 1970 (10.8%) and 1980 (19.4%).Currently, minority student enrollment in Catholic schools is 656,007, almost 25% of total enrollment (Guerra, 1998;MacDonald, 1999).The changing demography of America issues an imperative to all societal institutions, and to Catholic schools in particular: to understand and support the unique developmental processes in minority families.Toward achieving that goal, an increasing knowledge base in child and family studies has begun to articulate the challenges and complexities inherent in ethnic minority family processes.This review of research delineates some of the multiple influences upon minority parenting and should serve as an informational resource for Catholic educators and administrators who are committed to serving ethnic minority families.Parenting in ethnic minority families shares some overlap with, but is also quite distinct from, parenting in the dominant, mainstream U.S. culture (Garcia Coll, Meyer, & Brillon, 1995).Parenting in minority families involves a complex interplay of several factors that impinge upon the nature and quality of parenting.This review addresses several of the critical areas
Hydrogen Atom Transfer Reaction Free Energy as a Predictor of Abiotic Nitroaromatic Reduction Rate Constants: A Comprehensive Analysis

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

<div>A linear free energy model is presented that predicts the second order rate constant for the abiotic reduction of nitroaromatic compounds (NACs). For this situation previously presented models use the one electron reduction potential of the NAC reaction. If such value is not available, it has been has been proposed that it could be computed directly or estimated from the electron affinity (EA). The model proposed herein uses the Gibbs free energy of the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) as the parameter in the linear free energy model. Both models employ quantum chemical computations for the required thermodynamic parameters. The available and proposed models are compared using second order rate constants obtained from five investigations reported in the literature in which a variety of NACs were exposed to a variety of reductants. A comprehensive analysis utilizing all the NACs and reductants demonstrate that the computed hydrogen atom transfer model and the experimental one electron reduction potential model have similar root mean square errors and residual error probability distributions. In contrast, the model using the computed electron affinity has a more variable residual error distribution with a significant number of outliers. The results suggest that a linear free energy model utilizing computed hydrogen transfer reaction free energy produces a more reliable prediction of the NAC abiotic reduction second order rate constant than previously available methods. The advantages of the proposed hydrogen atom transfer model and its mechanistic implications are discussed as well.</div>
