Authors: Ayeh Isaac Gyan
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to use a systematic review of factors affecting K-12 mathematics achievement in the 21st century using only peer-reviewed articles published from 2012 to 2022.

Methodology: A systematic literature review of factors affecting K-12 mathematics achievement in the 21st century using only peer-reviewed articles published from 2012 to 2022. The Boolean search approach was employed to gather articles from electronic research databases. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) were used to select a final of 65 articles for the study. A total of 33 axial codes were identified as specific factors from the systematic review conducted.

Findings: Analysis of the research questions showed a high percentage of the articles conducted in Europe, North America, and Asia, with fewer publications on other continents. The findings showed low published research articles in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. A final review of the 65 articles uncovered a total of 32 axial codes as the specific variables affecting K-12 students’ mathematics achievements. These axial codes include gender, socioeconomic status, teacher qualification, and class size.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: While many of these studies have found students, teachers, and schools-related variables as predicting or affecting students’ mathematics achievement, comprehensive research into the specific factors within the identified variables is less researched.  This study will bridge this gap and contribute to the research and academic resources pool. Governments and other education stakeholders worldwide can use the findings from this study as a guide in making decisions and improving learners' academic standards.

Published: January 2024

India’s aviation industry is seeing growth, and the country is host to several domestic airline firms.In India, the domestic aviation industry is predominantly composed of private airlines, accounting for over 75% of the market, making it one of the aviation markets with the highest growth rates globally. Currently, there are 454 functioning airports in the country, out of which 16 are international airports. The aviation sector is projected to have a resurgence with an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% in 2011. The Civil Aviation Ministry’s current predictions indicate that increasing traffic movement and revenues—which climbed by about US$ 21.4 million in 2009—will enable India’s Airports Authority to create higher margins in 2009–2010. Acknowledging and. Recognizing and delivering high-quality service begins with knowing exactly what clients want. Service quality is one of the finest measures for assessing the opinions and expectations of clients. Customer performance within an organization determines customers satisfaction with services. Passenger happiness affects customer sovereignty. It is possible for customers to be really satisfied and still not be loyal, or vice versa. Companies need to have a deeper understanding of the relation between online behaviour and contentment in order to divide internet marketing tactics between programs that promote behavioural intention and happiness. The findings will benefit airline managers by enabling them to monitor and improve the quality of their workforce, improve customer service, and increase passenger satisfaction. In India, buying airline tickets again and again is rather usual, particularly for business or frequent visitors. Numerous domestic airlines in India have frequent flyer and loyalty programmes as a means of encouraging consumers to keep using them when making travel reservations. Furthermore, a lot of Indian travellers buy their flights using online travel agents (OTAs), which make it simple for consumers to compare options and costs across several airlines. To entice users to make additional reservations, these OTAs frequently provide cashback or discount incentives for recurring bookings. Furthermore, a lot of Indian airlines entice customers to buy tickets with them again and again by providing a range of promotional deals, discounts, and cashback incentives at different periods of the year. In general, Indians frequently buy plane tickets again and are influenced by loyalty programs, frequent flyer programs, discounts, cashback offers, and the ease of booking through online travel agencies.

Organic compound, any of a large class of chemical compounds in which one or more atoms of carbon are covalently linked to atoms of other elements, most commonly hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. carbon atoms provide the key structural framework that generates the vast diversity of organic compounds. All things on Earth (and most likely elsewhere in the universe) that can be described as living have a crucial dependence on organic compounds Foodstuffs—namely, fats, proteins, and carbohydrates—are organic compounds, as are such vital substances as hemoglobin, chlorophyll, enzymes, hormones, and vitamins. Other materials that add to the comfort, health, or convenience of humans are composed of organic compounds, including clothing made of cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic fibres; common fuels, such as wood, coal, petroleum, and natural gas; components of protective coatings, such as varnishes, paints, lacquers, and enamels; antibiotics and synthetic drugs; natural and synthetic rubber; dyes; plastics; and pesticides.
Khayyam’s Quatrains as Fitzgerald’s Rubẚiyat: Translation as Ideological Misrepresentation
Authors: Alghamdi Ismail Ali , Albarakati Mohammed
Published: January 2024

Research studies from around the globe on Omar Khayyam’s Persian quatrains and their translation into English by the poet, writer, and translator Edward Fitzgerald, are in abundance. Researchers are, in general, in praise of the translation and give credit to Fitzgerald for making Khayyam a world-renowned poet. However, the translation has rarely been approached from a socio-political perspective or a look into Fitzgerald’s ideological manipulation of the original. The present research study investigates two issues with Fitzgerald’s translation- ideological manipulation and selective translation. The study also looks into Khayyam’s life and his works. It probes into the effects this translation left on the literary scene. The study involves a comparative literary translation analysis to compare and contrast the elements found in Fitzgerald’s translation and two Arabic translations. Employing Lefevere’s (1992) theory of ‘translation as rewriting,’ this paper assesses the extent to which a translator’s ideology can lead to a misrepresented product of translation (Lefevere, 1992). The study adopts textual analysis as a research method to capture the epicurean elements recurrently emphasized by Fitzgerald in his translation.

Utility and Drawbacks of Biomarkers in Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis in Critically Ill Patients.
Authors: Akhtar Shaila , Anwar Shaheda , Jahan Taskin , Badhan Raisa Enayet , Saleh Ahmed Abu
Published: January 2024

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, patients with hematological malignancies, and individuals experiencing neutropenia after anti-cancer medication are at high risk of developing invasive aspergillosis (IA). Furthermore, IA is being seen more frequently in different groups of people, including those receiving solid organ transplants, individuals with solid tumors or autoimmune disorders, and patients in intensive care units. High death rates are linked to diagnostic delays. The purpose of this study is to give a summary of the available data regarding the effectiveness of various tests of biomarkers and to talk about their benefits, limitations, and interpretation in a range of patient categories. Methods: We searched the published English language literature using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from January 2010 to October 2023. All studies about biomarker testing for the diagnosis of IA were included in the review. Results: As valuable supplementary instruments for the early identification of IA, biomarker detection tests may play a part in the diagnosis of IA and tracking treatment response. Nevertheless, there are differences between patient populations and these biomarkers’ sensitivity and specificity are not at their best. So, biomarker testing should be targeted at the right population and the right situation to offer the optional benefit in the approach of IA diagnosis and management. Conclusion: Within the context of various clinical samples (serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, cerebrospinal fluid), as well as distinct patient groups (once-hematological patients, recipients of solid organ transplants, and other patients at risk of IA), this review examines the importance, clinical utility and drawbacks of biomarkers testing for the diagnosis of IA in the critically ill patients.
Sacred Ecology of an African Landscape: Evidence from the Mau Forest Complex, 1600-1895
Authors: Chemelil Philip , Chacha Babere Kerata , Waweru Peter
Published: January 2024

The study is a historical examination of the spiritual dimensions and sacredness of the Mau forests; the nature of engagements and benefits obtained from sacred forests; governance practices and dynamics aspects of sacred forests; and the implications of dynamics on human-ecology interaction sustainability among the Ogiek. The study equally portrays the effects of human intrusions on the state of sacred forests and their provisions. Before the advent of colonialism, communities in and around the Mau Forest had elaborate traditional systems of forest land utilization. Indigenous religious beliefs and practices served to maintain a harmonious relationship with the natural environment. Thus, this paper offers an in- depth historical study of how religion was used to conserve the Mau Forest, arguing that present-day ecological challenges are best solved when one first understands the underlying historical topography, and when strategies based on modern practices are modified by blending them with indigenous practices. In doing so, I propose a model of political ecology that considers cultural, social and religious change dimensions of African history.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. This study focuses on the characterization of aerosol hygroscopicity using remote sensing techniques. We employ a Mie-Raman-Fluorescence lidar (LILAS), developed at the ATOLL platform, Laboratoire d’Optique Atmosphérique, Lille, France, in combination with the RPG-HATPRO G5 microwave radiometer to enable continuous aerosol and water vapor monitoring. We identify hygroscopic growth cases when an aerosol layer exhibits an increase in both aerosol backscattering coefficient and relative humidity. By examining the aerosol layer type, determined through a clustering method, the fluorescence backscattering coefficient, which remains unaffected by the presence of water vapor, and the absolute humidity, we verify the homogeneity of the aerosol layer. Consequently, the change in the backscattering coefficient is solely attributed to water uptake. The Hänel theory is employed to describe the evolution of the backscattering coefficient with relative humidity and introduces a hygroscopic coefficient, γ, which depends on the aerosol type. Case studies conducted on July 29 and March 9, 2021 examine respectively an urban and a smoke aerosol layer. For the urban case, γ is estimated as 0.47±0.03 at 532 nm; as for the smoke case, the estimation of γ is 0.5±0.3. These values align with those reported in the literature for urban and smoke particles. Our findings highlight the efficiency of the Mie-Raman-Fluorescence lidar and Microwave radiometer synergy in characterizing aerosol hygroscopicity. The results contribute to advance our understanding of atmospheric processes, aerosol-cloud interactions, and climate modeling.

Published: January 2024

Abstract. Evaluating the performance of probabilistic seismic hazard models against recorded data and their potential to forecast future earthquake’s ground shaking is an emerging research topic. In this study, we evaluate and test the results of the recently released European Seismic Hazard Model (ESHM20; Danciu et al., 2021) against observations for several cities in Romania. The dataset consists of ground shaking recordings and macroseismic observations, which extend the observational time-period to few hundred years. The full distribution of the hazard curves, depicting the epistemic uncertainties of the hazard at the given location was considered and the testing was done for peak ground acceleration (PGA) values i.e., 0.1 g and 0.2 g. The results show close agreement between the ESHM20 and the observations for the cities located near the Vrancea intermediate-depth source (VRI) for both selected PGA levels. ESHM20 appears to overestimate the VRI recorded ground motions along the Carpathian Mountain Range and underestimate those at the far-field locations outside the Carpathians. Some of these differences might be attributed to the uncertainties in data conversion, local site effects, or differences in the attenuation patterns of the ground motion models. Our analysis suggests that the observed exceedance rates for the selected PGA levels are consistent with ESHM20 estimates, but these results must be interpreted with caution given the limited time and spatial coverage of the observations.

Este artículo trata la aplicación de los conceptos de las teorías queer sobre el parentesco y relaciones familiares de la filósofa Judith Butler a Veneno, una serie emitida en la plataforma ATRESPlayer Premium en 2020, creada por Javier Calvo y Javier Ambrossi. A través de flashbacks, la serie Veneno nos introduce en la vida de la conocida personalidad mediática Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez, conocida como La Veneno, que se convirtió en una de las primeras personas abiertamente trans en las pantallas de televisión españolas en los años 90. La serie presenta también otro personaje protagonista, Valeria, cuya trayectoria es paralela a la de La Veneno y que vive aproximadamente 15 años después de la época de mayor fama de La Veneno. A través de las obras Cuerpos que importan: Sobre los límites materiales y discursivos del «sexo» (1993) y «¿El parentesco siempre es de antemano heterosexual?» de su libro Deshacer el género (2004), se abordará el pensamiento de Butler sobre la cuestión de las relaciones familiares de las personas queer y las nuevas relaciones de cuidado al margen del modelo familiar hegemónico. En este caso, se aplicarán estos conceptos a las tramas de las protagonistas de la serie Veneno para establecer si las ideas de Butler son válidas y, en caso afirmativo, en qué medida, cómo se representan en la serie y también cómo han evolucionado con el tiempo. Como conclusión principal, se puede afirmar que las ideas de Butler están presentes, pero con cierta complejidad, que es lo que investigará este artículo.
La libertad para elegir el propio ‘yo’: 20.000 especies de abejas (Estibaliz Urresola, 2023)
Authors: Lon Roca Nuria
Published: January 2024

A través del análisis crítico de la representación de la transexualidad en el cine por medio de la película 20.000 especies de abejas (Estibaliz Urresola, 2023) se ha querido poner en valor la búsqueda de la voz propia y el hecho abordar la diversidad una superación del lenguaje hegemónico tradicional que ha definido, y sigue definiendo, al cine. Como espectadores, mediante el film podemos comprender y acercarnos a una realidad que ha sido sub-representada tanto en la sociedad como en la creación cinematohráfica. De esta manera, las realidades disidentes se visibilizan poniendo en valor la necesidad de realizar investigaciones y estudios relativos a la cuestión aquí planteada. La metodología empleada se basa en un estudio de caso de la película en clave transexual, buscando poner en valor las subrepresentaciones de aquellos que, tradicionalmente, han copado los márgenes de la narrativa y la sociedad. De esta manera, el silencio histórico de que ha condicionado a estas sexualidades disidentes se ve superado en la película de Urresola al servir como reflejo positivo de estas infancias «trans»*.
“But Sarah Denied for She was Afraid”: Considerations on Gen 18
Authors: Suriano Ambra
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to interpret Sarah’s laugh in Gen 18:12. Sarah’s behaviour has been outlined over the years as distrustful in front of God, but her fear of the divine strangers allows a different reading. The comparison with the attitude of Lot’s sons-in-law in Gen 18:14 will help rescue Sarah from a negative evaluation, so consciousness and unconsciousness will be pointed out to be the conditions for finding God’s piety.
Penggunaan Diegetic Off-Screen sebagai Pembentuk Imajinasi Visual pada Pemanfaatan Ruang di Luar Layar dalam Sinema
Authors: Artana I Made Arya Wibawa Dwiputra
Published: January 2024

Ruang di luar layar dalam film merupakan ruang yang sifatnya tidak dapat dilihat oleh penonton karena keterbatasan sudut pandang lensa. Karakteristiknya yang tidak dapat dilihat membuat keberadaannya menjadi dikesampingkan. Walaupun peran ruang di luar layar sama besar dengan ruang di dalam layar dalam proses penyampaian cerita, para pembuat film lebih memilih untuk fokus dengan ruang yang terlihat di dalam layar, atau mise-en-scène. Penyebabnya adalah ruang di luar layar memiliki kecenderungan memunculkan multitafsir di kalangan penonton, sehingga peristiwa yang ingin disampaikan pada ruang di luar layar menjadi bias. Namun film tidak dibentuk hanya melalui unsur visual saja. Film memiliki elemen sinematik lainnya yang sebenarnya bisa membantu penonton menyadari keberadaan ruang di luar layar. Salah satu elemen sinematik dalam film adalah suara. Suara bisa menjadi jawaban dalam memperkecil kemungkinan adanya multitafsir dalam pemanfaatan ruang di luar layar pada film. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian kualitatif dan observasi sinema dengan pendekatan studi literatur. Sumber datanya adalah produk audiovisual yakni film yang berjudul Cat People (1942) dan Shirin (2008) untuk melihat penggunaan ruang di luar layar yang dikombinasikan dengan teori diegetic off-screen. Sedangkan analisis datanya akan menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif dengan teori yang digunakan adalah teori gaya film yang terdiri dari mise-en-scène dan suara.

Subjektivitas Sutradara Perempuan: Deantagonisasi Subjek Perempuan dalam Film Before, Now, and Then (Nana)
Authors: Manggarsari Kintan Labiba , Harsawibawa Albertus
Published: January 2024

Tulisan ini membahas bagaimana dalam sinema yang strukturnya secara dominan dan historis didominasi dan berangkat dari sudut pandang dan otoritas laki-laki, representasi perempuan dalam layar sinema kemudian tidak memberikan ruang bagi subjektivitas perempuan dan tidak mampu menghadirkan perempuan sebagai perempuan seutuhnya. Subjektivitas perempuan kemudian menjadi nilai penting karena memiliki kekuatan untuk memberikan penggambaran dan pandangan tentang perempuan apa adanya, hadir bukan sebagai ilusi. Subjektivitas sutradara perempuan menawarkan representasi perempuan yang lebih dekat dengan kehidupan. Menggunakan pendekatan yang berbeda dari kanon film arus utama, sutradara perempuan men-de-antagoniskan subjek perempuan dalam karyanya. Membaca subjektivitas sutradara perempuan yang menawarkan bahasa film yang berbeda dalam film Before, Now and Then (Nana) yang disutradarai oleh Kamila Andini, dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode teori kritis, penulis berharap tulisan ini dapat menunjukkan bagaimana subjektivitas sutradara perempuan di balik layar perfilman sangatlah penting, karena melalui subjektivitasnya, sutradara memiliki kekuatan untuk menawarkan representasi perempuan secara aktif, bukan sebagai pelengkap, dan memiliki otonomi individu sebagai subjek yang utuh.
