Design analysis and reconstruction of laboratory activities on fruit’s DNA isolation practice

Practicum is very important in science learning because it provides direct experience to students so that students can understand the context of natural phenomena through direct observation. This research aims to evaluate and improve the design of laboratory activities (DKL) in fruit DNA isolation practicum. This research uses a qualitative descriptive analysis design. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, namely by analyzing the DKL contained in Biology textbooks. The instrument used is an instrument development based on the Vee diagram principle. The results of the analysis show that DKL has a fairly good quality level, namely reaching a percentage of 72%, but still requires several adjustments in the form of reconstruction. The reconstruction carried out included adding verbs to learning objectives, replacing and adding equipment specifications, using standard units in measuring materials, restructuring procedures, adding units to observation tables, and data transformation using graphics. It is hoped that the results of the DKL reconstruction can provide more effective and relevant guidance for students and contribute to efforts to improve the quality of practical learning in the context of DNA isolation.

Self-perceived sleep quality during the covid pandemic: risk and protective factors

The situation derived from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and lockdowns ordered to control the pandemic led to unprecedented problems in different areas of people’s well-being. This study aimed to explore the acute effects of the first lockdown on self-perceived sleep quality, as well as the risk/protective factors that modulated this impact. The sample was composed by 1,275 respondents ranging in age from 18 to 55 years. Participants wererecruited during the COVID-19 first lockdown in Spain. They wereevaluated regarding theirself reported sleep problems before and during lockdown, as well as other areas related to the impact of lockdown (e.g., on diet, physical activity, or use of digital media), psychological states (positive and negative affect), and traits (impulsivity). Most participants (66.7%) reported a decrease in their self-perceived sleep quality during the pandemic. Correlational analyses showed that maintaining good levels of physical activity and diet quality during the pandemic were positively associated with sleep quality; furthermore, greater levels of positive affect, living in bigger homes during lockdown, and age were positively associated with sleep quality as well. On the contrary, negative affect, female sex, and the impact of the pandemic on various domains (mental health, relationship quality, personal finances, and the use of digital media) were negatively related to self-perceived sleep quality. In brief, this study supports the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on self-perceived sleep quality and provides a preliminary foundation for identifying protective and risk factors contributing to sleep quality during lockdowns and other situations of distress.

Health-related quality of life and arrhythmia frequency following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a descriptive study

Abstract Introduction Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) surgery is the preferred method in Coronary Artery Disease, particularly in patients with multi-vessel disease and impaired left ventricular function. Besides the success of surgical intervention, achieving a good level of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is the primary goal of the entire process. Objective The aim of our study is to evaluate HRQoL before and after CABG surgery and to assess the adherence to pharmacotherapy and the frequency of arrhythmias postoperatively during a 6- month follow-up period. Methods The study design involves a descriptive longitudinal study. The study was conducted in one public hospital and two private hospitals of Cyprus. The follow-up period for participants was determined at 6 months post-CABG surgery. HRQoL assessment was conducted using the MacNew questionnaire, and the evaluation of arrhythmias and other clinical data was performed using a Clinical Data Evaluation Form created for the study purposes. Results Our study included 103 people who had undergone CABG surgery. HRQoL decreased at 3 months post-CABG surgery compared to the preoperative period (Mean: 5.03, SD: ±1.02 vs Mean: 4.75, SD: ±1.00) but improved at 6 months post-surgery (Mean: 6.19, SD: ±0.67). Among the total of patients, 21 (20.6%) developed Atrial Fibrillation (AF) postoperatively. All patients with AF received immediate treatment, and sinus rhythm was restored. Additionally, 6 patients developed other types of arrhythmias, among whom 1 patient experienced cardiac arrest with an initial asystole rhythm and eventually passed away. Conclusion CABG significantly affects HRQoL, showing a temporary decline postoperatively followed by improvement. Arrhythmias and compliance with pharmacotherapy are crucial aspects of postoperative care.

Qualimetric assessment of the quality of cold-formed pipes.

To quantify product quality, complex indicators using the principles of qualimetry are increasingly used. The use of complex indicators makes it possible to evaluate and compare product quality for various technological process options, but a unified methodological approach to quality assessment and management has not been formulated. The article lists examples of complex indicator definition in various works and presents an approach to assessing the quality of cold-deformed stainless pipes according to GOST 9941. The results of the analysis of GOST requirements for these products are presented, 15 individual indicators are identified. The values of eight individual quality indicators are defined as the probability of falling into a given interval; for seven individual indicators, the probability calculation was carried out for a quantitative characteristic. The calculated complex indicator is assessed according to the Harrington desirability scale: the range of values 0.37–0.63 is a satisfactory level of quality. To improve the complex criterion to values within the range of “acceptable and good quality level”, recommendations have been formulated in the direction of improving technology

A new methodology for the multi-risk assessment of existing road tunnels

The optimal management of infrastructural assets is a key aspect to guarantee the adequate competitiveness of a country from the economic point of view and a good level of quality from the social one. In this framework, particular attention shall be paid to the critical elements of the infrastructure network, such as bridges and tunnels, which often strongly influence the resilience of the network itself, as highlighted both by what happened immediately after the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa and by the situation that was created following the several construction sites implemented to reduce the structural risk in the tunnels of the Ligurian territory. Indeed, on one hand these critical elements are often characterized by lower structural safety levels than those required by the regulations for similar newly built structures but, on the other hand, the presence of construction sites determines a reduction in the performance of the infrastructure with a significant increase of the road accident and traffic risk. This paper proposes an operational methodology for assessing the risk associated to existing road tunnels. The research is carried out in collaboration with SINA SpA and ASPI, Autostrade per l’Italia, and has the main objective of providing practical tools that can help the road managers to evaluate the global risk variation when temporary interventions are carried out in tunnels and to give indications regarding the optimal construction site organization.

Comparative Analysis and Characterization of Varying Molar Ratios of Urea Formaldehyde (UF) Modified Rice-Straw as Slow – Release Fertilizer

A comparative analysis and characterization of varying molar ratios of urea formaldehyde (1:2, 1:2.5 and 1:3) modified Rice-straw was done. The swell index, cold water insoluble nitrogen (% CWIN) at 250C and hot water insoluble nitrogen (% HWIN) at 980C were determined. Also, the slowly available nitrogen and the activity index (AI) were evaluated. The result from these characterizations shows that rice-straw has a good water retention capacity due to its high swell index of 1535% facilitating the slow release of nutrients. All the various formulations of urea formaldehyde in this work have their % CWIN values above the 60 % minimum, 78 % for UF 1:2, 80 % for UF 1:2.5 and 84 % for UF 1:3 while the activity indices stood at 17.9 %, 41.3% and 25% for UF 1:2, UF1:2.5 and UF 1:3 respectively. UF modified Rice-straw with molar ratio 1:2.5 whose AI is 41.3% which is within the good quality level and has the highest amount of slowly release nitrogen is therefore adduced to be a better slow- release fertilizer than the rest.

Ecological restoration evaluation of afforestation in Gudao Oilfield based on multi-source remote sensing data

The growing petroleum industry poses significant ecological challenges, prompting an increased focus on ecological restoration projects in onshore oilfields. Current efforts focus on revegetation in deforested oilfields, while research remains limited on alternative ecological restoration strategies aimed at establishing new ecosystems in oilfields. This study employed multi-source remote sensing data from 1985 to 2022 to calculate a remote sensing-based ecological index (RSEI) and constructed an integrated forest health index (IFHI), in order to evaluate the ecological restoration effects in the Gudao shelterbelt of Shengli Oilfield in the Yellow River Delta, and investigated the impact of oil extraction by considering forest phenology. The RSEI of the shelterbelt showed an upward trend and reached a Good level of ecological environment quality from 1990 to 2003, but it declined after that, indicating the potential of RSEI to quickly assess ecological restoration effects and guide management at different stages. Comparing the restoration effects of different tree species, a Robinia pseudoacacia L. (RP) and Fraxinus velutina Torr. (FV) mixed forest demonstrated the greatest capacity to improve environmental quality, with the most years (25 years) of the Good and Excellent levels and the highest IFHI value (1.52). In contrast, Ulmus pumila L. (UP) and Sophora japonica L. (SJ) were unsuitable for mixed planting for ecological restoration. The study also found that monospecific RP forests within 30 m of oil wells were significantly impacted by oil extraction (P ≤ 0.05), necessitating tailored forest management. The research aims to serve as a reference for ecological restoration in global onshore oil production areas, particularly in delta regions and sparsely vegetated areas.
