El suplemento infantil Mercurito y su aporte como método didáctico en dos centros educativos de nivel primario en la ciudad de cuenca . La investigación se realizó en las escuelas, San José La Salle y Miguel A. Estrella , la muestra para la investigación de campo se ha tomado de Ciento diez y nueve niños/as de los sextos niveles de educación básica con la colaboración de los docentes y directores de dichos establecimientos. Nuestro estudio en una institución fiscal y una particular, nos permitió lanzar nuevas expectativas acerca del suplemento infantil y su aporte como material didáctico. En la escuela fiscal Miguel Ángel Estrella simplemente es limitado el uso del Mercurito, ya que los alumnos no compran regularmente y el docente no les exige el uso del mismo para sus actividades en clase. El estudio realizado en la escuela San José La Salle demuestra un detalle importante que el suplemento Mercurito es la fuente de consulta o material didáctico de los alumnos que cursan el sexto y séptimo de básica, y lo utilizan desde el primer día de clase. Los docentes y padres de familia de ambas instituciones concuerdan que es un gran aporte cultural que brinda los medios de comunicación con la publicación de estos suplementos que sirven de guía para sus hijos y que le permite al profesor ampliar los conocimientos de los alumnos con elementos sencillos como es la lectura compresiva, el análisis del texto, en síntesis el niño aprende jugandoLicenciatura en Comunicación SocialCuenc

REVISIÓN DE LA LITERATURA DEL PROBLEMA DE RUTEO DE VEHÍCULOS EN UN CONTEXTO DE TRANSPORTE VERDE

In the efficient management of the supply chain the optimal management of transport of consumables and finished products appears. The costs associated with transport have direct impact on the final value consumers must pay, which in addition to requiring competitive products also demand that they are generated in environmentally friendly organizations. Aware of this reality, this document is intended to be a starting point for Master's and Doctoral degree students who want to work in a line of research recently proposed: green routing. The state of the art of the vehicle routing problem is presented in this paper, listing its variants, models and methodologies for solution. Furthermore, the proposed interaction between variants of classical routing problems and environmental effects of its operations, known in the literature as Green-VRP is presented. The goal is to generate a discussion in which mathematical models and solution strategies that can be applied within organizations that consider within their objectives an efficient and sustainable operation are posed.

A Meta-Analysis of Quantitative Collecting Techniques for Spiders

Quantitative sampling of organisms is often used to provide information in ecological studies, monitor populations, and aid in biodiversity projects. Many studies involve the quantitative sampling of spiders. In this meta-analysis study, 207 peer-reviewed journal articles formed the basis of an initial data set for a quantitative analysis of spider collection techniques. Data collected included country of study, mode of study, trapping techniques used, spider diversity, and number of specimens collected. Our meta-analysis gathered research articles that included 33 different countries of study. Trapping techniques greatly vary depending on the habitat in which spiders dwell. These were divided into aerial, arboreal, terrestrial, and subterrestrial. From the gathered data, 5% of the articles included aerial trapping, 20% included arboreal trapping, 1% included subterrestrial trapping, and 80% included terrestrial trapping. 60% of the terrestrial studies utilized pitfall trapping, 20% used hand collecting, 15% used sweep netting, and 5% used branchbeating.https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/celebration_posters_2022/1033/thumbnail.jp

Parent’s Influence on Career Aspirations in College Freshmen

From a young age, children are molded by their parents and their environments. By the time they move into adolescence and begin to consider their futures, oftentimes they look to their parents, either as role models or for career guidance. Studies have shown that children value their parents’ opinions, and only believe in their own career decision-making abilities to the degree to which they think their parents believe in them. Whether subconsciously or consciously, parents become one of the main influences on adolescent’s career aspirations. This convergent mixed-methods study seeks to explore how parental behaviors influence career development in college freshmen in the United States. Data were collected from participants through an online survey, with follow-up interviews to further understand how participant’s perceptions of their parental involvement, support, engagement, and interference affected their own career aspirations. We hypothesize that parent’s career-related behaviors will have a significant impact on adolescents\u27 career development and choice. These potential findings have a high latency of becoming a guide of support in navigating how to steer children in their career aspirations.https://orb.binghamton.edu/research_days_posters_2021/1058/thumbnail.jp

Missing: Where Are the Migrants in Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plans?

Influenza pandemics are perennial global health security threats, with novel and seasonal influenza affecting a large proportion of the world’s population, causing enormous economic and social destruction. Novel viruses such as influenza A(H7N9) continue to emerge, posing zoonotic and potential pandemic threats. Many countries have developed pandemic influenza preparedness plans (PIPPs) aimed at guiding actions and investments to respond to such outbreak events. Migrant and mobile population groups—such as migrant workers, cross-border frontier workers, refugees, asylum seekers, and other non-citizen categories residing within national boundaries—may be disproportionately affected in the event of health emergencies, with irregular/undocumented migrants experiencing even greater vulnerabilities. Because of a combination of political, sociocultural, economic, and legal barriers, many migrants have limited access to and awareness of health and welfare services, as well as their legal rights. The conditions in which migrants travel, live, and work often carry exceptional risks to their physical and mental well-being. Even if certain migrant groups have access to health services, they tend to avoid them due to fear of deportation, xenophobic and discriminatory attitudes within society, and other linguistic, cultural, and economic barriers. Evidence indicates that social stigmatization and anxieties generated by restrictive immigration policies hinder undocumented immigrants’ access to health rights and minimizes immigrants’ sense of entitlement to such rights

Point mutation in the mouse P2X7 receptor affects intercellular calcium waves in astrocytes

Purinergic P2 receptors and gap junctions are two groups of proteins involved in the transmission of ICWs (intercellular calcium waves) between astrocytes. The extent to which ICWs spread among these glial cells depends on the amount of ATP released, which can occur through membrane channels, as well as other pathways. Our previous studies have shown that the pore-forming P2X7R (P2X7 receptor) contributes to the amplification of ICW spread by providing sites of ATP release through Panx1 (Pannexin1) channels. To gain insight into the signal transduction events mediating this response we compared the properties of the P2X7R–Panx1 complex in astrocytes from a mouse strain (C57Bl/6) containing a naturally occurring point mutation (P451L) in the C-terminus of the P2X7R to that of non-mutated receptors (Balb/C mice). Electrophysiological, biochemical, pharmacological and fluorescence imaging techniques revealed that the P451L mutation located in the SH3 domain (a Src tyrosine kinase-binding site) of the C-terminus of the P2X7R attenuates Panx1 currents, ATP release and the distance of ICW spread between astrocytes. Similar results were obtained when using the Src tyrosine inhibitor (PP2) and a membrane-permeant peptide spanning the P451L mutation of the P2X7R of the C57Bl6 astrocytes. These results support the participation of a tyrosine kinase of the Src family in the initial steps mediating the opening of Panx1 channels following P2X7R stimulation and in the transmission of calcium signals among astrocytes

Survey of Spiders within Eastern Kentucky

Biodiversity is known to be the variation of living organisms compromising several levels, beginning from genes, then species, communities, then finally ecosystems. Biodiversity is crucial in maintaining ecological balance, boosting ecosystem productivity, and determining the quality of ecosystem services such as pest management in agriculture. Being aware of biodiversity\u27s importance can also help with the prevention of continuous threats to biodiversity and be best prepared to manage conservation challenges. Typically, mammals, birds, and plants are used to assess biodiversity. However, spiders may be effective in indicating environmental change because they are taxonomically quite diverse, species fill a variety of ecological niches, and they are easy to trap. Spiders can also be very numerous and reflect the heterogeneity of their environment. We assessed spider biodiversity within Eastern Kentucky using pan traps, net hunting, and sifting leaf litter. We have collected a couple thousand spiders so far and identified spiders from 20 families, including Agelenidae (grass spiders), Antrodiaetidae (Folding door Spiders), Anyphaenidae (ghost spiders), Araneidae (orb-weaver spiders), Atypidae (pursueweb spiders), Clubionidae (sac spiders), Ctenizidae (trapdoor spiders), Dictynidae (mesh web spiders), Dysderidae (Woodlouse Spiders), Hahniidae (dwarf sheet spiders), Linyphiidae (money spiders), Lycosidae (wolf spiders), Oxyopidae (lynx spiders), Philodromidae (running crab spiders), Pholcidae (cellar spiders), Pisauridae (nursery-web spiders), Salticidae (jumping spiders), Tetragnathidae (long-jawed orb weaver spiders), Theridiidae (tangle-web spiders), and Thomisidae (crab spiders). Most spiders that were found are Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae) whereas Antrodiaetidae (folding door spiders) and Atypidae (pursue-web spiders) were very rare. We have also discovered 3 genera of tarantula cousins.https://scholarworks.moreheadstate.edu/celebration_posters_2022/1032/thumbnail.jp

Implementation of Staff Training Curriculum Aimed at Improving MDS Coding in a Long-Term Care Setting

Minimum Data Set (MDS) is used in long-term care facilities to document resident’s information and assessments and to determine the resident’s eligibility to receive Medicare or Medicaid insurance coverage for treatment expenses while in the LTC facility. When reviewing the MDS, the facility identified inaccurate documentation of the resident’s functional mobility ambulating on the unit. This quality improvement project was undertaken to improve assessments, resident interventions, and documentation regarding functional mobility. Following literature review and chart audits, an educational intervention was implemented for nursing assistants to promote understanding of the MDS coding system when charting functional mobility on the unit. The educational intervention included information on coding for the level of staff assistance and accurate charting of assistance levels. Following the education intervention data was again collected through chart review on MDS coding to determine effectiveness of the intervention. The goal of this project was to create more accurate MDS documentation and ultimately improve resident independence while ambulating on the unit in this long-term care facility

Recurso Electr?nicoEl presente proyecto de investigaci?n aborda la importancia de una educaci?n ambiental fundamentada en las buenas relaciones que debemos establecer con los recursos h?dricos y el buen uso que debemos darle a los residuos s?lidos. Dado que las observaciones que se realizaron en la fundaci?n Pacto en Acci?n evidencian la falta de cultura ambiental siendo notoria la indiferencia por parte de los ni?os frente a los problemas ecol?gicos. Para la presente investigaci?n partimos que la educaci?n juega un papel decisivo en la promoci?n de una ?tica medioambiental que se preocupe por el equilibrio ecol?gico, la calidad de vida y un desarrollo sostenible, a fin de hallar soluciones a los problemas medioambientales, creando espacios donde los ni?os puedan reflexionar y construir un pensamiento de cuidadores del planeta. Se tuvieron en cuenta algunos aspectos legales establecidos por la constituci?n y las diversas leyes que respaldan la educaci?n, como tambi?n la forma de crear h?bitos ambientales haciendo uso de talleres pedag?gicos y actividades que los confrontan con la degradaci?n del medioambiente, tales como salidas pedag?gicas y videos que ilustran la problem?tica ambiental que vive nuestro planeta. Palabras claves: educaci?n ambiental, h?bitos ambientales, recursos h?dricos, residuos s?lidos, estrategias did?cticas.This research project addresses the importance of environmental education based on the good relationships we must establish with water resources and the good use we should give to solid waste. Given that the observations made at the Pacto in Action foundation show the lack of environmental culture, the children's indifference to ecological problems is notorious. For the present investigation we start that education plays a decisive role in the promotion of an environmental ethics that cares about the ecological balance, the quality of life and a sustainable development, in order to find solutions to the environmental problems, creating spaces where the children can reflect and build a thought of caregivers of the planet. They took into account some legal aspects established by the constitution and the various laws that support education, as well as the way to create environmental habits by using pedagogical workshops and activities that confront them with the degradation of the environment, such as pedagogical outputs and videos that illustrate the environmental problems that our planet is experiencing.
