Rurality, Nigeria's massification policy on access to basic education and turnover causations amongst teachers
Authors: Olatunji Oluwole Alfred , Ajayi Stephen Oluwatoyin
Published: December 2022

World Bankâ€™s data indicate 70 per cent of the African population lives in rural areas. Additional evidence made available by the African Development Bank [Africaâ€™s own version of the World Bank] suggests 65 per cent of Africaâ€™s urban dwellers live in slums. This paper relies on these data to conceptualise Africaâ€™s global rurality and issues around access to basic education in Nigeria â€“ as a situation where systemic infrastructure deficit and socio-economic issues constrain access to the delivery of a decent basic education to the populace. Further reflection on the World Bank data shows about one-third of Nigeriaâ€™s school-age children are still out of school, and that school attendance was as low as 43 per cent in some regions. Elements of rurality, such as access issues, poverty and a lack of systemic motivation, are the main causes. Thus, confronting the challenges of access to basic education is a major project for the Nigerian government. Several efforts around this have been introduced (since 2004). A larger mass of out-of-school population [i.e. school age and adult population who have not had a chance to access or complete basic education previously] are now able to receive education. The massification efforts [defined as a combination of policies and statutory actions dedicated to a massive increase in student enrolment] have resulted in significant rise in enrolment numbers in elementary and high schools. Enrolments have risen by 31 per cent in elementary schools and doubled in high schools between 2000 and 2010. However, pre-existing issues have often diminished the incentive to achieve the greater goals of massification efforts. Intense poverty, issues relating to access infrastructure, poor resourcing in schools and teachersâ€™ motivation to remain or quit their roles are among the widespread problems. This study reviews literature on one of such issues: causations of teachersâ€™ intention to quit, and the logical relationships between turnover causations and the concept of rurality in the Nigerian basic education policy. Findings on these objectives are critical. Useful contributions are made in this paper to extant body of knowledge on the concept of global rurality by providing framework upon which further (finer-grained) analysis could be conducted to ascertain the statistical relationship between turnover causations and teachersâ€™ demographic variables. Educational administrators and development fund administrators will find the findings useful.
Higher education and digital media in rural Australia: The current situation for youth
Authors: Vichie Krystle
Published: December 2022

Equitable access and participation in higher education from regional youth is a major concern in Australia (National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE), 2015). Currently 0.9% of all university students in Australia come from a regional or remote area (NCSEHE, 2015). This statistic is alarming in the context of the ever-rising digital economy in Australia, and the increasing importance of higher education for employment. This article synthesises current literature relating to Australian regional youthâ€™s low participation in higher education, and the implications of this for their employability in the rapidly-developing digital economy. The compilation of data relating to Australian youth and higher education emphasises the need for further research and understanding into how these young people make the decision to pursue university, and furthermore pursue a career in digital media. In relation to all undergraduate enrolments, the proportion of regional higher education students is stagnant or falling (NCSEHE, 2015). As a nation, the demand for digital competencies in the workforce is rising (Foundation for Young Australians (FYA), 2015). Access to these technologies in regional Australia is more limited and expensive than metropolitan areas (Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee, 2015). Consequently, regional youth risk missing out on the opportunity to master digital technologies to participate in the workforce both via their limited access to them at home, and their lack of participation in higher education where they would acquire skills for digital workplace contexts (Duncan-Howell, 2012).
A curriculum for whom? Rereading â€˜Implementing the Australian Curriculum in Rural, Regional, Remote and Distance-Education Schoolsâ€™ from a rural standpoint.
Authors: Roberts Philip
Published: December 2022

This paper builds upon the evolving methodological perspective of a rural standpoint (Roberts, 2014b), and its related method of strategic eclecticism (Roberts & Green, 2013), to reanalyse existing data behind a previously published paper by Drummond, Halsey and van Breda (2012).Â  It does this through an examination of the role of the rural in the Australian curriculum, drawing upon work that raises the lack of recognition of rurality in the curriculum as an important social justice issue (Roberts, 2014a; Roberts, 2015; Roberts & Downes, 2016).Â  Through the reanalysis the paper illustrates that the rural educators who responded to the initial study had a concern for local places, and a perspective that an Australian Curriculum has the potential to marginalise local knowledges, and rural and remote schools more generally. Furthermore the re-analysis shows that age, time teaching in a rural or remote setting, distance from a major centre and jurisdiction of the school all influence respondentsâ€™ views in distinct ways.Â  Consequently this paper illustrates the utility of re-analysing previous research reports, the use of a rural standpoint in research, and that rural educators have specific rural-related concerns regarding the Australian Curriculum that are largely unaddressed.
Increasing Students' Social Capital through Community Involvement in Rural and Regional Education
Authors: Watson Jane , Wright Suzie , Allen Jeanne Maree , Hay Ian , Cranston Neil , Beswick Kim
Published: December 2022

School and community interaction is an important topic in education, as evidence suggests that communities that value their local schools engender more positive long-term outcomes and a strengthening of the social capital for the students from those schools. Although school and community interaction has been explored from the school's perspective, less research has occurred from the perspective of the key stakeholders and leaders of a community, particularly in rural, regional, and disadvantaged areas. The context for this exploration is the Australian state of Tasmania, and the research findings may have implications for policy makers, school leaders, and teachers both nationally and internationally. Eighty-six community leaders and community members from rural, regional, and disadvantaged areas of the state responded to a survey, which included indicating the level and type of involvement they and their organisations had with local schools. The evidence from their comments suggests that community, business, and social leaders can play an important role in building social capital and as advocates for their local schools, as well as being a source of information, advice, and service to schools. In particular, this paper provides a foundation for future research with community members on their involvement in schooling and the impact of this involvement on students' social capital.
Do Aspirations Really Matter?
Authors: Hawkins Cherie-Lynn
Published: December 2022

The notion of â€˜raising aspirationsâ€™ to widen participation in higher education and increase attainment has dominated policy discourse globally for the past decade. Projects and campaigns that aim to increase participation and attainment in education therefore typically focus on student aspirations. This is certainly the case in the Tasmanian context, with the recent establishment of the Peter Underwood Centre and various other â€˜aspirations projectsâ€™ in the state. Based on findings from a highly qualitative study in the Cradle Coast region that explored the life goals of adolescent females, this paper proposes that â€˜aspirations matterâ€™ as they are key motivators behind educational and career decision-making, which impacts on life chances. But the paper argues it is the capacity to fulfil them that matters equally. Personal stories and a range of artefacts were collected from the adolescent participants during life history interviews. The primary focus of the paper is to demonstrate that innovative methodologies generate more voice, which in this study allowed for a deeper understanding of life goals, influencing factors and why â€˜capacityâ€™ matters. Through this data collection technique, the study found that the young females had multiple aspirations, including those for higher education and these were shaped by their experiences. However, uncertainties existed around if they had the cultural or economic capital to fulfil them. The paper extends on current work in this area by demonstrating that â€˜capacityâ€™ is important and that there is a place for creative methods in research with rural adolescent females.
Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks: Health Promotion Through Intergenerational Learning in a Regional Men's Shed
Authors: Misan Gary , Ellis Bronwyn Joan , Hutchings Olivia M , Beech Amy K , Moyle Courtney , Thiele Nicola J
Published: December 2022

Intergenerational learning activities benefit both older and younger participants. The Whyalla Men's Shed (WMS) not only meets many of the needs of its older participants but has recently become involved in several initiatives that foster intergenerational collaboration and learning. An agreement between the University of South Australia (UniSA) and the WMS has resulted in the WMS hosting several projects led by senior Occupational Therapy (OT) students aimed at improving health literacy and promoting healthy lifestyle choices in older men. WMS placements undertaken by the OT students have enabled the students to better understand the enablers and barriers to healthy lifestyle choices in this target group and how to adapt classroom-based knowledge to best engage a disparate group of older men. Initiatives have included informal 'teaching sessions' focusing on improving dietary knowledge and skills, and on physical activity and exercise, augmented by informal cooking and exercise sessions suited to the attitudes, skills and abilities of the shed members. Students reported changes in the men's knowledge, attitude, and behaviours and activities that demonstrated active engagement with the concepts promoted. The student experience was enhanced by working on small projects allowing them to develop basic woodworking and construction skills. Shed members reported enjoying the opportunity to share life stories, skills, and experience while 'learning by doing'. It is to be hoped that such intergenerational engagements will continue to provide enrichment for both younger and older learners, building mutual respect and enhancing the self-esteem of all concerned.
Third Age Learning In Regional Australia
Authors: Lear Glenna Catherine , Ellis Bronwyn Joan
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the diversity of third age learning in regional and rural communities when people open themselves to new experiences and challenges in everyday life in two very different parts of South Australiaâ€™s Eyre Peninsula. One is Whyalla, an industrial city with a small university campus, and the other, largely rural Lower Eyre Peninsula focused on agriculture, fishing and aquaculture. Both communities have ageing populations above the state average. The paper is a synthesis of a number of research studies, conducted between 2000 and 2015, and has relevance for all concerned with the importance of learning throughout life, including educators, community organisations and service providers.  While rural and regional communities may appear to have limited opportunities for formal education compared to large centres, community activities provide numerous, perhaps unique, learning venues and occasions for informal and non-formal learning, especially for older residents. Smaller, less diverse populations result in usually higher volunteering levels in social, economic and service organisations that provide many of the basic, essential and emergency services. Some organisations support the interests and needs of older residents, with various special interest groups providing opportunities for socialising and new learning opportunities that have individual and community benefits, fulfilling the aspirations of both. Supplementing these modes of learning are technologies enabling regional, rural and remote people to access formal education and training offered by open access colleges and universities.

Praxis Makes Preference: Grassroot governance of school funding in rural China with evidence from a northeast county
Authors: Li Yiran
Published: December 2022

In Chinaâ€™s latest school funding reform, the central government remarkably increases input in basic education. However, this fiscal re-centralisation of education provision is implemented through a highly decentralised administration structure and yet local governments have long been criticised by the public for their inefficiency and misconduct. This paper depicts a snapshot of how school funding policies are practiced in rural China at grassroot government levels. It also discusses the implication of such praxis, drawing on the concept of equity underpinning Australiaâ€™s recent review on school funding.Â Selecting Shandong Province as a case study, this paper firstly analyses publicly accessible online documents on funding policies, released by the state, provincial, prefecture and county governments, to map out the procedures and models of school funding in rural areas. The second set of data was collected through interviews and focus groups with officials from local education authorities and school principals, so as to create a real-life portrait of policy implementation.Â This empirical study discovers that waste of resource coexists with insufficient funding: biased funding reinforces school hierarchy, improper means are employed to identify students with financial needs, disabled children have strikingly limited access to education, and students with learning difficulties are largely ignored. This paper argues these deficiencies can be explained by local governmentsâ€™ operational preference. In short, local governmentsâ€™ active involvement in school funding process may have aggravated inequity.Â
Attracting teachers to rural and remote Queensland: A case study
Authors: Paynter Ann-Maree , Taylor Elizabeth
Published: December 2022

For many years the supply of graduate teachers, including specialist secondary teachers for Queensland state schools, has largely met demand. In recent years however, attracting and retaining specialist teachers in some Queensland locations and curriculum areas has become more challenging.

Reflective of wider Australian and international trends, balancing the supply of specialist teachers to meet current and future demands requires planning and early action. Taking a traditional approach to recruiting teachers (as vacancies arise) can result in shortfalls when unplanned absences, retirements and promotions occur unexpectedly. Subjects that are already hard to fill such as senior mathematics and science, English, languages, industrial technology and design (manual arts) are even more elusive in the middle of a school term. Many schools located in low socio-economic, regional, rural and remote communities are also experiencing challenges in recruiting teachers for the breadth of learning phases and curriculum areas.
Principals as Protagonists: Practices Beneficent for Indigenous Education in Rural Schools
Authors: Davies James Robert , Halsey John
Published: December 2022

The participation and performance of Indigenous students in Australia's schools is below that of other students and is a matter of national concern. Evidence suggests that the impact on student learning of school principals' leadership is significant. What then, can school principals do to improve schooling outcomes for Indigenous students?  Herein, we discuss research that investigated school principals' professional practices associated with their leadership of Indigenous education in rural, regional and remote (RRR) schools. Qqualitative research was undertaken using interpretive methodologies and document analysis techniques. Data collected in the period 2012-2014 through evaluations of Indigenous education in thirty one Australian primary, secondary and combined schools, from diverse RRR locations, was used for the research. Principals' professional practices described in the 'Australian Professional Standard for Principals' provided the overall framing for analysis of the data (AITSL, 2014). Principals' extant practices that shape the ecology of education for Indigenous students in rural schools were identified. Educational leadership that authentically values the culture, agency and beliefs of Indigenous people; that places Indigenous students' physical, mental, cultural and spiritual wellbeing at the centre of the schools' activities; that actively develops collaborative relationships and networks based on reciprocity, trust, cooperation and civility; that is guided and sustained by humanistic endeavour, makes a significant contribution towards  the participation and achievements of Indigenous students.
The article concludes with a framework for leadership of Indigenous education in RRR schools which locates the principal in the role of 'protagonist', building bridging social capital around the practices that contribute holistically to the education of Indigenous students.
Erasing Rural Massachusetts: Consolidation and the Urban Revolution in Education
Authors: Cervone Jason A
Published: December 2022

Massachusetts is the least rural state in the US, and its existing rural communities are shrinking. This paper examines the historical processes of urbanization, specifically through industrialization that have come to dominate and erase rural communities in the state. The capitalist mindset behind industrialization has spread to education where the state has a long history of pursuing consolidation as a way to deal with the supposed problems of rural schools. This policy represents a narrow viewpoint of what education should be and does not value the lived experiences of rural youth. These phenomena are analyzed using Henri Lefebvreâ€™s Urban Revolution in an effort to theorize the way education policy is being used by the state to increase urbanization and erase rural schools and communities.
Equal or Equitable? The Role of Flexibility Within Online Education
Authors: Stone Cathy , Freeman Elizabeth , Dyment Janet , Muir Tracey , Milthorpe Naomi
Published: December 2022

Online study is generally associated with the terms flexible and flexibility. Many students choose to study online specifically for the flexibility that is offered, hoping they can combine their studies with multiple other responsibilities in their lives. For students living in regional and rural areas, such flexibility can be even more important, given the additional difficulties they face in accessing campus facilities. While a flexible learning environment has the potential to contribute positively towards equity in higher education, this equity can be compromised when university policies and processes that have been designed for on-campus students are applied equally to online students. This paper examines the experiences of a group of regional and rural Education students who have chosen to study online, to a large extent because of online learning's promised flexibility. Their experiences demonstrate that equal treatment may in fact undermine flexibility and result in an inequitable student experience.
literacy enrichment program for small rural schools

Published: December 2022

There is now general agreement about the disadvantages associated with all levels of 'rural' and 'remote' education. To some extent these are being overcome by advances in distance education delivery systems which now offer more interactive learning environments; yet there is still a strong case for the effectiveness of intense, individualised face-to-face teaching and learning. The project outlined in this report originated as an attempt to integrate the professional needs of third year Diploma of Teaching students at La Trobe D.C.N.V., Bendigo, with the curriculum needs of primary school children in an isolated rural setting. The Country Education Project, through Maureen Chiswell, a Project Officer, agreed to fund a pilot project where forty-nine Grade Five and Six primary school pupils from the Pyramid Hill area (Pyramid Hill Consolidated School and St. Patrick's School) were bussed ninety kilometres to the college for an intensive three-hour program once a week for five weeks. The program involved individualized instruction by third year students in literacy skills related to independent study and research, and curriculum studies in Science, Computer Studies and Mathematics. This paper reports on the aims, program details, and evaluation of the literacy component of the project. Miscue analysis refers to a method for monitoring a child's oral reading of a set of text. An observational inventory is an interview schedule for noting a child's reading and writing interests. An interactive journal is a written dialogue between child and teacher, and top-level structure refers to contrasting ways text information can be organised, such as cause and effect or main idea then supporting ideas.
Technology and distance education
Authors: Walker Robert , Boylan Colin
Published: December 2022

Under the Distance Education Plan of the NSW Department of School Education, the provision of a full secondary education to rural students has been enhanced through the use of technology based communication networks. In the Riverina region of New South Wales, a pilot project linking three Central Schools into a cluster commenced in 1990. This pilot project is known as the Telematics Access Program and is similar to other projects in operation in Victoria and Queensland. Each school is linked to the other schools in the cluster by teleconference, fax and electronic blackboard computer facilities. Through the schools in the cluster sharing teacher expertise and using the technology to link students and teachers, a comprehensive Years 11 and 12 curriculum has been offered to these students. Students can select from 17 subjects currently available.
Immersive, Creative, Inclusive
Authors: Mevel Pierre-Alexis , Robinson Jo , Tennent Paul
Published: December 2022

In a deliberate and valiant effort to adapt to the conditions created by the recent pandemic, many theatre companies across the globe shifted their activities from the stage to online video platforms. But in releasing large portions of their back-catalogues at speed, opportunities to make such shows accessible have been under-exploited. This migration has created an unprecedented opportunity to examine the way accessible practices are transferred from stage to screen and has brought into sharp focus the somewhat inadequate provision for accessibility of online video platforms. While the very practice of making these shows available online, often at no cost to the viewer, has made them more socially accessible, practical accessibility for portions of the audience, such as the D/deaf community, has often been ignored or addressed in a low fidelity way. Through lack of time, lack of expertise or lack of resources, many companies have resorted to the use of auto-captioning tools, or the most basic of captions. Rarely do such captions come close to capturing the creativity of the shows they represent. This paper represents a call to arms for the development of bespoke tools to support better, more immersive and creative, retroactive captioning of stage productions presented as videos.
Lay Summary
In this article, we discuss how videos of stage performances can be subtitled in a way that is accurate and that preserves the creativity original performances. The recent pandemic forced theatre companies to adapt or perish. With playhouses closed, some companies moved their activities online. They either released old footage of their past shows and performances on video platforms such as YouTube but did not necessarily have the time or the right tools to make these videos accessible to members of the D/deaf community. One the one hand, their shows are more easily accessed since they can be found online, but on the other hand, whole sections of the general public, such as D/deaf people, still cannot accessed these videos because they are not subtitled. Most video platforms have built-in tools that can generate subtitles automatically, but these are not very precise and do not help to convey the creativity of the performances. The tools that are currently available are therefore not suitable and new tools need to be developed to provide access to D/deaf people and do justice to the performances.
Audio Describing Sound – What Sounds are Described and How?
Authors: Vercauteren Gert , Reviers Nina
Published: December 2022

Given that the aural meaning-making channels are the main channels that people with sight loss have access to when processing audiovisual products, it is striking that hardly any research has been done on how dialogues, music, and sound effects are integrated in audio description (AD). A possible explanation is the lack of conceptual, theoretical, and methodological frameworks to systematically analyse sound. In the present article we study whether insights from film studies, multimodality research and audionarratology can be used to study sound in AD. After an overview of the state of the art, we present a case study that was carried out within the context of two master’s dissertations and for which an analytical framework for sound descriptions was designed and tested on different scenes from the Flemish film Loft (Van Looy, 2008). In addition to testing the validity of the framework, we wanted to obtain some concrete insights into what types of sounds were described and what narrative position and functions they occupied. On the one hand, the analysis shows AD usually renders the sounds that are the most prominent and most easily recognized. On the other hand, the analysis also shows that although the framework for the analysis clearly has its merits and can provide valuable insights, determining the narrative functions of sounds remains difficult. Therefore, the article ends with various new research questions and a clear plea for more research in this uncharted territory.
Lay Summary
When people with sight loss listen to an audiovisual product like a film or series, they mainly follow the story based on the sounds, such as dialogues, music, sound effects and the audio description track. It is, therefore, surprising that researchers have not paid a lot of attention to understanding how sounds complement the audio description in telling the story. One reason may be that researchers lack the necessary methods and theory to study sounds scientifically. In this paper, we try to develop this knowledge, by combining insights from different disciplines, such as film studies, multimodality research and audionarratology to create a framework for sound analysis in AD. Together with two Master students, we applied the framework to a case study, namely the analysis of the Flemish film Loft, directed by Erik Van Looy in 2008. The aim of this project was to test the methods we propose for this analysis. But we also wanted to find out what types of sounds are usually audio described and what their narrative contribution is - how they help build the story that is told in the film. Our analysis shows that AD usually renders the sounds that are the most prominent and most easily recognized. The analysis also shows that it is difficult to understand the narrative contribution of sounds, though, with the current scientific frameworks that we have. Therefore, the article ends with various new research questions and a clear plea for more research in this domain.

Published: December 2022

В статье изложены вопросы профилактики заболеваний сердечно-сосудистой системы. Атеросклероз, лежащий в причинной основе этих заболеваний, продолжает оставаться в тренде современных исследований. Известные на сегодняшний день профилактические мероприятия позволяют предотвратить или значимо отсрочить бóльшую часть сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Это происходит не всегда, поэтому внимание ученых привлекают и медикаментозные способы профилактики и лечения атеросклероза. Среди возможных вариантов обоснованно рассматриваются растительные препараты, имеющие ряд преимуществ, по сравнению с синтетическими лекарствами. В экспериментах на кроликах в были исследованы растительные тритерпеновые гликозиды: леонтозид, дипсакозид и ладыгинозид. Показано, что наибольшим эффектом на атеросклероз в эксперименте обладает ладыгинозид, его применение приводит к снижению атерогенных поражений в 3,77 раз, в сравнении с животными холестеринового контроля. Далее следует дипсакозид, который уменьшал поражение атеросклерозом в 3,70 раза. Заключает этот ряд препарат леонтозид, который уменьшил атерогенные поражения в 3,22 раза.

INVESTIGATING PROTEIN PARTNERS OF ATMKK1 AS PART OF THE MAPK SIGNALING PATHWAY DURING SALT STRESS
Authors: ARMAS Frances , XING Tim
Published: December 2022

Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades are one of the many systems that allow plants to survive and defend themselves against pathogens and other environmental stresses. Numerous scientific investigations rendered insights to molecular signaling pathways that take place in an event of a stress such as soil salinity. Despite the known functions and locations of proteins that play a role in these pathways, very little is known about upstream protein partners. In this paper, we elucidate biological functions and molecular locations of Arabidopsis thaliana MKK1 protein through data mining predominantly from STRING and BAR databases. Results revealed AtMEKK1 and CRLK1 as upstream protein partners. In addition, AtMKK2 was further analyzed as a redundant protein to AtMKK1.
Deciphering Blake’s “The Angel that presided o’er my birth”
Authors: Ullrich David W.
Published: December 2022

The stimulus for this investigation of manuscript variants in one of Blake’s Notebook poems arises from an unlikely quarter: Kurt Vonnegut’s God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater (1965). Vonnegut’s use of Blake is purposeful. In Slaughterhouse-Five the narrator states (by way of Kilgore Trout) that “William Blake” was “[Eliot] Rosewater’s favorite poet” (99), and in a 1977 interview in the Paris Review Vonnegut specifically notes, “I was thirty-five before I went crazy about Blake.” In Rosewater, Eliot Rosewater, traumatized by his experience in World War II, dedicates his life and extraordinary wealth to a compensatory form of philanthropy for the population of Rosewater, Indiana. Eliot has written his personal manifesto on the step risers leading up to his office to remind himself and his clients of his life’s purpose and personal vision. His manifesto is identified in Vonnegut’s text only as “a poem by William Blake” (65). The poem is traditionally referred to by its first line, “The Angel that presided o’er my birth,” as rendered in Keynes’s Nonesuch edition, almost certainly Vonnegut’s source. Obscuring Blake’s rhyme scheme, Vonnegut separates the three-line poem into twelve sections, one for each riser.

In this paper a three-dimensional model of diffusion combustion is presented in the case of the outflow of a combustible gas mixture from a rectangular nozzle and propagating in a heated (with a passing) air flow. For the three-dimensional case, the transformation of the multicomponent concentration equation is described in detail using the conservative Schwab-Zeldovich function with respect to excess concentrations, which reduces the number of diffusion equations to one for a four-component mixture. It is assumed that on the surface of the flame front, the flows of the oxidizer and fuel must satisfy the condition of stoichiometric equality of the consumed and formed substances at the flame front are equal to zero. The three-dimensional system of Navier-Stokes equations is used to describe the flow. To calculate the turbulent viscosity, an algebraic model is used that takes into account the three-dimensionality and temperature inhomogeneity of the jet. A number of numerical results are given as the influence of the initial value of the velocity of the combustible mixture on the flame parameters. During diffusion combustion of a propane-butane mixture. It was found that an increase in fuel velocity does not always lead to an increase in the maximum temperature at the flame front, with other parameters unchanged.
Leveraging discrete event simulation modeling to evaluate design and process improvements of an emergency department
Authors: Zamani Zahra
Published: December 2022

This study exemplifies the practical application of the Discrete Event Simulation (DES) approach for evaluating the effectiveness of suggested processes and design modifications in improving the existing bottlenecks of an Emergency Department. EDs are under escalating pressure to deliver efficient care while handling considerable challenges, such as overcrowding, delays, length of stay, safety risks, or staffing. Many ED appointments are non-urgent and can be treated in an alternative outpatient setting. Suitable demand-capacity matching and adjusted admission protocols reduce ED patients' Length of Stay (LOS) and improve boarding times. Alternatively, new design suggestions include applying results-pending areas where lower acuity patients wait for their pending lab or imaging results. In this study, DES assesses underlying conditions and existing bottlenecks in an existing ED. The current ED flow involved a "pull-until-full" for exam room boarding and bedside registration after triage fulfillment. Nonetheless, the ED experienced boarding delays for patients waiting to be admitted into the hospital. This study explored two scenarios in DES as potential alternatives for reducing LOS: the implication of a "rapid-admit" protocol and a "results-pending" area. Findings showed that the Rapid-Admit process reduced the admitted patient's LOS by 16%. On average, the results-pending implication reduced the admit LOS by an average of 32% across all ESI levels. These findings suggest the importance of process, staffing, and spatial modifications to achieve ED operational improvements. DES enabled a data-driven approach to evaluate bottlenecks, enhance architect-owner communication, and optimize the system for future design and process improvement alternatives.

A pandemia da COVID-19 provocou mudanças no estilo de vida das pessoas no último biênio, o confinamento levou ao uso excessivo de telas como celulares e notebooks. A interação humana sofreu enorme alteração promovida por meios eletrônicos e os écrans. Alterações no estilo de vida historicamente são acompanhadas de fatores maléficos imensuráveis.  A exposição prolongada a luzes violetas ou azuis pode prejudicar os olhos, bem como a pele e a retina. O sol é o produtor de energia mais importante, é também a principal fonte de energia que emite radiação, entretanto diversos eletrônicos também emitem ondas radioativas. Através de revisão bibliográfica, esta pesquisa buscou demonstrar a aplicação de filtros aplicados em lentes para a diminuição da astenopia e alterações no ciclo circadiano.
On Syntactic Functions of Circumstantial Clauses in Arabic
Authors: Dizdar Elma
Published: December 2022

The circumstantial clause (al-ǧumla al-ḥāliyya) is one of the syntactic structures in Arabic that received due attention in Arabic grammatical description throughout the time span from the era of classical Arabic until the present day. Various forms of the circumstantial clause were therein described, including its syndetic and asyndetic, nominal and verbal form, the form it takes depending on the time of events in the main clause and the circumstantial clause, as well as the relationship between the circumstantial clause and the circumstantial accusative as its non-finite equivalent. Still, in the extensive and widespread description of the circumstantial clause, fully justified by its frequent use in Arabic, the syntactic functions of this clause are mentioned only rarely and sporadically, lacking a systematic analysis. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is the analysis of various syntactic functions that circumstantial clauses can take in the Arabic complex sentence. Such an analysis shows that this syntactic category, special in so many ways, whose subordinating conjunction is at the same time the most frequent coordinating conjunction in Arabic, covers a wide spectrum of syntactic functions in Arabic clauses, from verb phrase modifiers to noun phrase modifiers and, although less frequently and with limited distribution, to verb phrase complements. Such a wealth of syntactic functions certainly deserves to be a subject of a systematic description.
Mullah of Sarajevo Šejhzade es-Sejjid Muhamed Seid-Efendi and His Role in The Eyalet of Bosnia (1795-1814)
Authors: Loklar Behçet
Published: December 2022

Šejhzade es-sejjid Muhamed Seid-efendi held the office of the mullah of Sarajevo on four separate occasions, which was unprecedented until his time. He held this duty for about five years and, in a political sense, his term in office represented one of the most difficult periods of the Empire and the eyalet of Bosnia. During the career of Šejhzade at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century in Belgrade and Sarajevo, the political and social events were at a high level and this undoubtedly enabled him to play an important role in political decisions made in those cities. This paper mainly focuses on the period of Šejhzade’s jurisdiction in Sarajevo, to the extent permitted by the available sources. The process of his appointment in Sarajevo, his experiences with the central administration during the extension of his period in the office, his desire to remain permanently in Sarajevo, the family relationships which he established in the city, and his relationships with other representatives of the ulema in Sarajevo are the main subjects of this paper. This work tries to contribute to the study of political factions and problems among the social strata of Sarajevo and the eyalet of Bosnia in the mentioned time frame.
Text as a Meeting Point Between Scholars: Pragmalinguistic Analysis Of Ottoman ʼIğāza Manuscripts
Authors: Mulović Amra
Published: December 2022

This paper deals with a pragmalinguistic analysis of five ʼiğāza manuscripts written in Arabic during the Ottoman period in the 18th century and one written at the beginning of the 20th century which were issued mostly to Bosnian scholars. ʼIğāza is a specific type of document and textual form common in the Islamic world. It confers upon a recipient the right to transmit a text, a specific knowledge he acquired, or to teach. This article investigates the performance of the speech acts in the corpus from the perspective of historical pragmatics within the framework of the speech act theory and the politeness theory. Since ʼiğāzas are extremely conventionalized texts, different types of speech acts, expressives, directives and declarations, the explicit and implicit form of their realization, as well as the principles of politeness, are viewed with regard to socio-historical contextual factors.

For the concurrent energy researches around the world, the question of energy availability and the effects of global warming have taken on particular importance. This situation creates room for prospective, more modern and sustainable alternative energy sources. In the industrial, automotive and even as a fuel source for power plants, biodiesel can be used as a sustainable alternative energy. This study offers a detailed overview of the use and advancement of bio-diesel as a fuel for the production of renewable energy from material sources. The creation of various bio-diesel mixture combinations and their use in diverse sectors is a key topic covered in this study. In order to use different types of biodiesel in different parts of the world, its physical and chemical properties have been researched. Although the use of biodiesel reduces emissions and pollutants, a specific approach is required to maximise efficiency and effectiveness, both technically and non-technically. However, the use of biodiesel together with the optimization of its properties and parameters demonstrates that this alternative energy is practical and might be used as a sustainable fuel source for the auto industry and electricity generation in the future.

Hand hygiene is vital principle and exercise in the prevention, control and reduction of health care acquired infections. To avoid the adverse effects like itching, irritation, dermatitis etc.,of the synthetic hand wash formulations an attempt has been made to formulate a polyherbal hand wash by using herbs which have antimicrobial property. The ethanolic extracts of leaves of Mimosa pudica (touch me not), Azadirachtaindica(neem). The antimicrobial activity of prepared hand wash formulations was checked against skin pathogens Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli. herbal formulations showed significant antimicrobial activity than the commercially available standard hand wash(synthetic-dettol, herbal-pathanjali). So these plants materials can be used in the preparation of herbal hand wash on commercial scale.
