ENHANCING STEM EDUCATION BY INTEGRATING RESEARCH AND TEACHING IN PHOTOCHEMISTRY: AN UNDERGRADUATE CHEMISTRY LABORATORY IN SPECTROSCOPY AND PHOTOCHEMISTRY

Molecular spectroscopy and photochemistry constitute an integral field in modern chemistry.However, undergraduate level classes provide limited opportunities for hands-on experimentation of photochemistry and photophysics.For this reason, a simple laboratory experiment was designed that may be easily implemented into undergraduate teaching laborato

Craniofacial deformities (CFDs) develop following oncological resection, trauma, or congenital disorders.Trauma is one of the top five causes of death globally, with rates varying from country to country.They result in a non-healing composite tissue wound as they degenerate in soft or hard tissues.Approximately one-third of oral diseases are caused

Abstract Background Tuberculosis remains an infectious disease of global concern, with potential impacts on respiratory and intestinal microbiota owing to prolonged broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy.Despite its potential to cause infertility, the vaginal microbiota of women with genital tuberculosis remains poorly understood.We comprehensively anal

Agriculture and agriculture-related industries generate many different forms of by-products and waste, whose integration crack top frock into the circular economy still requires experimental studies and research.This research aimed to obtain innovative coatings containing agro-industrial by-products and animal waste, characterizing the thermal insu

Fungi are essential players in the maintenance of global coffee productivity, but their taxonomic and functional diversity in tropical and subtropical soils of Latin America remains largely unexplored.To address this concern, soil fungi were surveyed in six farms in three traditional coffee-growing regions of Colombia (Cauca, Magdalena, and Risaral
