Parental self-work

Discourses on lifelong and lifewide learning portray everyday life as a pedagogical space where requirements for how to preferably improve oneself through learning are highly significant. Drawing upon the notion of governmentality, it could be argued that techniques operate within a range of practices to shape, foster and stabilize the assumed adequate ways to perform. Using that particular lens, the case of parenting was investigated to accentuate selves and self-work in narrations on family life in Norway. The analysis illustrates how the techniques of activation and comparison are at work to define, fashion and develop the responsible, involved and attentive parental self, thereby signifying pedagogical claims one should aspire to. However, how this is accomplished differs slightly within the social contexts of family life. Parenting, then, may be discussed as a powerful educative practice for fabricating capable and wellbehaved citizens of contemporary times.

Developing competencies for medical librarians in <scp>P</scp>akistan

Abstract Objective To identify competencies for medical librarians and get these validated from head librarians and employers. Methods The survey method was used. A structured questionnaire, listing 84 competency statements, covering eight areas, prepared after extensive literature review, expert scrutiny and pilot testing, using a 5‐point Likert scale was distributed among the head librarians and chairpersons of library committees ( CLC ) in 115 medical libraries. Results Sixty seven (58%) useable responses were received from head librarians and 63 (55%) from CLC . Of the 84 competency statements 83 were validated by the head librarians, 44 receiving four or higher mean score while the other 39 statements getting mean scores in the range of 3.97 and 3.06. The CLC validated 80 statements. Only 27 statements received four or higher mean score from CLC while the other 53 got mean scores in the range of 3.97 and 3.22. Conclusions Medical librarians are required to be well versed with all those competencies which are needed for general librarianship. In addition, they are expected to have adequate knowledge of health sciences environment including medical terminologies and concepts. Sound knowledge of some competencies specific for medical libraries is an additional requirement for library personnel.

Efficient Recovery of Lignocellulolytic Enzymes of Spent Mushroom Compost from Oyster Mushrooms, <i>Pleurotus</i> spp., and Potential Use in Dye Decolorization

This study was conducted in order to perform efficient extraction of lignocellulolytic enzymes amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4), laccase (EC 1.10.3.2), and xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) from spent mushroom compost (SMC) of Pleurotus ostreatus, P. eryngii, and P. cornucopiae. Optimal enzyme recovery was achieved when SMCs were extracted with 50 mM sodium citrate (pH 4.5) buffer at 4℃ for 2 hr. Amylase, cellulase, and xylanase activities showed high values in extracts from P. ostreatus SMC, with 2.97 U/g, 1.67 U/g, and 91.56 U/g, respectively, whereas laccase activity and filter paper degradation ability were highest in extracts from P. eryngii SMC, with values of 9.01 U/g and 0.21 U/g, respectively. Enzymatic activities varied according to the SMCs released from different mushroom farms. The synthetic dyes remazol brilliant blue R and Congo red were decolorized completely by the SMC extract of P. eryngii within 120 min, and the decolorization ability of the extract was comparable to that of 0.3 U of commercial laccase. In addition, laccase activity of the SMC extract from P. eryngii was compared to that of commercial enzymes or its industrial application in decolorization.

The Impact of Migration Processes on the Adolescents of Parents Emigrating from GeorgiaTransnational Parenthood

Migration, and migration processes have long influenced the socio-political, economic, demographic or social structure of a country. The abovementioned phenomenon has been an integral part of the development of mankind and it still is. In the modern, globalizing world, in an era of scientific technological change and the deepening of relations between people, the issue of human mobility holds one of the key places in world politics. In scientific or political discussions, the question of how the human mobility can be used for a country’s development and not the other way around, gains more and more popularity. That is why migration management issues have been incorporated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or in other similar documents, which are made not only for a specific country, but also for the harmonious development of the world, on which world leaders are working. It is also noteworthy that in 2018, the member states of the United Nations adopted a totally independent document, Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. The document was the first such large scale attempt to develop a comprehensive approach on migration management issues. All in all, it is clear that Georgia cannot be an exception to this global process. The issue examined in the article about the challenges of migrant parents, especially children of emigrant mothers left in the homeland, unfortunately, mostly attracts the attention of the public and the media when dealing with a specific antisocial, tragic or unfortunate fact. Nevertheless, it is already clear at a first glance, that the topic is highly relevant, requiring a professional structural and strategic approach and not only a symptomatic response. Despite numerous important steps taken to improve migration management processes in Georgia in recent years, the issue examined in this article does not lose its urgency. In general, the cornerstone of Georgia's migration policy should certainly be a balanced migration management policy, which, on the one hand will allow people to gain work experience abroad and improve living conditions. However, all this should happen on a temporary, legal basis and not for a long term or permanently, especially through the means of irregular migration. Keywords: Migration and development; Children of emigrants; Generation grown up through electronic means of communication; Balanced legal migration; Prevention of Irregular migration.

Temporal fulfilment of the light requirement for seed germination: an example of its use in management of rare species.

Paysonia perforata (Rollins) O'Kane and Al-Shehbaz, and P. stonensis (Rollins) O'Kane and Al-Shehbaz are rare winter annuals found in frequently disturbed habitats, such as agricultural fields on floodplains. Both species are threatened by the loss of habitat, by its conversion to uses other than cultivation of annual crops. Considering the responses of the non-dormant portion of the seed set, P. perforata and P. stonensis seeds germinated to ≤18% in darkness with ≤10-12 weeks of light on alternating wet/dry substrate conditions (simulating current climatic conditions) and ≤26% with ≤4-6 weeks of light on continuously moist conditions (simulating predicted future conditions in a changed climate). This indicates that planting of crops along with any field preparation should be performed after seed dispersal (in early May) and before the seeds become photostimulated (i.e. by late July under current climatic conditions, but by late May under predicted future climatic conditions). Fields need to be harvested before seeds germinate and seedlings establish (in early September), and at very low disturbance levels since seeds are highly photostimulated in August under both climatic scenarios. Soyabean (Gylcine max (L.) Merr.) and maize (Zea mays L.) have been recommended as crops to provide an artificial means of maintaining the habitat of both Paysonia species. However, short-season forage crops should also be considered since the planting and harvesting times for them closely fit the life cycle and temporal dynamics of seed photoecology of the Paysonia species.

Molecular design of novel indacenodithiophene‐based organic dyes for efficient dye‐sensitized solar cells applications

Abstract Indacenodithiophene (IDT)‐based high‐efficiency photovoltaics have received increasing attention recently. This paper reports a density functional theory investigation of the electronic and optical properties of three IDT‐based organic dyes together with the dye/(TiO 2 ) 46 interface. In order to enhance the photoelectric properties of IDT dyes, this paper considers two methods for the structure modification of the experimentally reported dye DPInDT (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 8977): the extension of the conjugation length by dithienothiophene as well as the heteroatom substitution of the bridging atoms by electron‐rich nitrogen atoms. Our calculations show that both methods obviously affect the distributions of the molecular orbitals and notably red shift the absorption peaks of around 20 nm, with the former method demonstrating enhanced light harvesting efficiency. The structure modifications proposed also enhance the emission spectrum properties for IDT‐based organic dyes. The calculated ultrafast injection time of electrons from the excited state of IDT dyes to the (TiO 2 ) 46 belongs to the femtosecond order of magnitude, and is ideal for efficient photoelectric conversion process in dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) applications. The IDT dyes designed in this paper have good electronic and spectroscopic properties. This study is expected to provide useful guidance for the development of novel IDT dyes for applications in DSSCs.

Application of a Nitric Oxide-Releasing Pro-drug for Halting Growth of Human Breast and Canine Mammary Carcinoma Cells

Breast carcinomas remain one of the most common forms of cancer among women.Likewise, mammary cancers are one of the leading causes of death in dogs.Among the principal challenges in tumor therapies, resistance to cytotoxic therapeutics represents a major bottleneck in the fight against cancer.The development of novel delivery methods for nitric oxide has fueled the re-emergence of nitric oxide as a potential adjuvant for enhancing sensitivity of cancer cells to traditional therapeutics.More importantly, when delivered under the right conditions, nitric oxide exhibits the capacity to reduce or altogether halt tumor cell proliferation.Here, we present a new class of nitric oxide-releasing pro-drugs using non-cytotoxic S-nitrosothiol nitric oxide donors to deliver nitric oxide in a controlled manner to halt the growth of both human breast and canine mammary carcinoma cells.

Chemotactic peptide FMLP contracts human coronary arteries via cyclooxygenase products

The chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (FMLP) is a constrictor of bronchial smooth muscle. Recently it has also been shown to contract rabbit coronary arteries by an unknown mechanism. This prompted us to investigate whether the chemotactic peptide has an effect on the tone of human coronary arteries obtained during heart transplantation. FMLP was found to be a potent and efficacious myotropic agent on strips of human coronary artery. Contractions were generally transient and subject to tachyphylaxis. The FMLP-induced vasoconstriction was not dependent on the presence of endothelial cells. The response was unaffected by the histamine H1-antagonist diphenhydramine or the antagonist of peptido-leukotrienes FPL 55712. However, the contractions were completely abolished in the presence of the fatty acid cyclooxygenase inhibitors aspirin or indomethacin. Stimulation of rings of human coronary artery with FMLP resulted in a marked production of prostaglandin (PG)F2 alpha, a smaller production of PGD2, and a slight increase in thromboxane B2. All these prostanoids constricted the artery, but the stable thromboxane mimetic U44069 was 100 times more potent than PGF2 alpha or PGD2. These data indicate that FMLP activates cells of unknown identity in the adventitia or media of human coronary arteries to produce a mixture of vasoconstrictor cyclooxygenase products. These compounds are likely to mediate the myotropic effect of FMLP on this artery. The mechanism may participate in the pathogenesis of some forms of coronary vasospasm.

Strontium isotope stratigraphy of the Asmari Formation (Oligocene - Lower Miocene), SW Iran.

The Asmari Formation has been studied in the subsurface at the Bibi Hakimeh, Marun and Ahwaz oilfields and in an outcrop section from the Khaviz anticline. It consists of approximately 400 m of cyclic platform limestones and dolostones with subordinate intervals of sandstone and shale. The method of Sr-isotope stratigraphy is well suited for dating these strata because of the rapid rate of change of marine 87Sr/86Sr during Asmari deposition (roughly 32-18 Ma) and the common presence of well-preserved macrofossils. Profiles of age against depth in the four areas show a decrease from higher stratigraphic accumulation rates in the lower Asmari to lower rates in the middle to upper part of the formation. There is also a trend towards less open-marine depositional conditions and increasing early dolomitization and anhydrite abundance above the lower part of the formation. These changes reflect the dynamics of platform progradation across the areas studied, from early deposition along relatively high accommodation margin to slope settings to later conditions of lower accommodation on the shelf top. Ages of sequence boundaries are estimated from the age-depth profiles at each locality, providing a framework for stratigraphic correlation. Asmari deposition began in early Rupelian time (34-33 Ma) in the Bibi Hakimeh area, when the studied areas to the NW were accumulating basinal marl facies. Progradation of the platform across the Marun and Ahwaz areas took place in mid-Chattian time (27-26 Ma) and somewhat later (26-25 Ma) in the more basinward Khaviz area. Depositional sequences have durations of 1-3 Ma, whereas component cycles represent average time intervals of 100-300 Ky. Sr analyses of most dolomite, anhydrite and celestite samples plot close to or below the macrofossil age-depth trend for each locality, indicating formation from waters preserving seawater 87Sr/86Sr approximately contemporaneous with or slightly younger than the time of sediment deposition. Local deviations from this trend are interpreted as indicating episodes of seepagereflux and also a contribution of Sr from non-marine sources during formation of the Gachsaran cap rock anhydrite.
