Authors: MOYO Herman Boyzar , DE JAGER Thelma
Published: January 2023

In terms of section 29 (1) (a) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa Act, Act 108 of 1996, everyone has the right to a basic education, including adult basic education. Notably, education is a basic human right even for those in conflict with the law (offenders). This study is geared towards investigating management of curriculum policy implementation at Correctional Centres in North West (NW) and Gauteng (GP) regions in South Africa as Department of Correctional Services (DCS) geographical demarcations. It is therefore imperative for education managers in Correctional Centres to manage education curriculum effectively and efficiently in order to avert criminal behaviour and relieve socio-economic hardships that citizens might experience. The theoretical framework of this study, instructional leadership model would be engaged in order to foster the change required. Schools are more effective and efficient teaching and learning environment through instructional leadership (IS) as a critical aspect of school leadership. Instructional leaders should ensure that every student receives the highest quality instruction in line with the managing of curriculum policy implementation. The study seeks to outline the challenges faced by research participants towards management of curriculum policy implementation in Correctional Centres schools (CCS) and to identify possible solutions to those challenges. The anticipated possible outcome would be a development of a model towards the proper management of curriculum policy implementation strategy in correctional centres. For the purpose of conducting empirical research, the qualitative methodology will be used. Both educators and SMT’s should possess learning area matter knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and content knowledge. The DCS and DoE should train members of SMT’s on how to monitor, evaluate and support educators in terms of new teaching methodologies. . DCS and DoE must have a common understanding of how they would enhance training to successfully manage curriculum policy implementation process.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This virus's spread is mainly through droplets released from the nose or mouth of an infected person. Although vaccines have been developed that effectively reduce the effects that this viral infection causes, the most effective method to contain the virus’s spread is numerous tests to detect and isolate possible carriers. However, the response time, combined with the cost of actual tests, makes this option impractical. Herein, we compare some machine learning methodologies to propose a reliable strategy to detect people positive to COVID-19, analyzing saliva spectra obtained by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. After analyzing 1275 spectra, with 7 strategies commonly used in machine learning, we concluded that a multivariate linear regression model (MLMR) turns out to be the best option to identify possible infected persons. According to our results, the displacement observed in the region of the amide I of the spectrum, is fundamental and reliable to establish a border from the change in slope that causes this displacement that allows us to characterize the carriers of the virus. Being more agile and cheaper than reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), it could be reliably applied as a preliminary strategy to RT-PCR.
Лінгвокреативна ономастика: медійний образ Володимира Путіна в українському та російському дискурсі

The development of free, creative, improvised, anti-totalitarian speech, social and psycholinguistic factors have all contributed to the transformation of language consciousness and the realization of the game potential of speech, the analysis of which led to the formation of creative linguistics. The language game is realized due to the actualization of manipulations with units of all levels of the language system. Different categories of onyms are also involved in the language game, this fact is motivated by the special pragmatic nature of their meaning. The study of creative speech repre-sents an innovative approach to the description of the language which, although it has its traditional, partially developed methodology, is characterized by the uniqueness of expression in the system of anthroponyms. We state the emergence of creative onomastics as an independent linguistic direction, the unit of which is the anthroponym-createme. The language game with anthroponyms is clearly manifested in the discourse of the modern media. The purpose of this research is to represent the ways in which anthroponymic createmes function in modern Ukrainian and Russian journalistic discourse. Examples of manipulating the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin and modelling his media image are described. This anthroponym-createme became the stimulus for the creation of original connotations, semantic and word-forming derivation, pragmatic meanings, demonstrating the vector of its functional load. It has been proved that active methods of modelling alanguage game involving anthroponyms are (1)metaphorization and metonymization, (2)euphemism, (3)dysphe-mization, (4)crealized derivation, including graphic, (5)paraphrasing, (6)paronomasia, (7)actu-alization of several associative features, (8)realization of the phenomenon of precedent (manipu-lation of mythonyms, biblicals, folklore and other types of onyms), (9)collision of antonymous or (10)homonymous meanings. There is acombination of the above mechanisms of the creation of linguocreatemes: complex combinations of several methods in different variations. Generated occa-sional meanings create adiverse palette of speech tones (ironic, low, contemptuous, humorous, sar-castic, etc.), stipulating arange of emotions and feelings, representing axiological meanings with varying degrees of expression.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between strain elastography and immunohistochemical markers, the histologic grade, and molecular subtyping in invasive breast cancer.

Materials and Methods: The relationships between the elastography index values and progesterone receptor, estrogen receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, Ki-67, the histologic grade, and molecular subtype in 171 patients who had not received neoadjuvant treatment and underwent breast-conserving surgery were evaluated. Strain elastosonography were used to evaluate elastography index.

Results: The mean patient age was 46.871 ± 11.949 years. There were 135, 129, and 90 estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive patients, respectively. Forty-seven patients had the worst histological grade. Based on molecular subtyping, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive, luminal A, luminal B, and triple-negative classifications were made for 25 (14.5%), 29 (17.0%), 109 (63.7%), and 8 (4.7%) cases, respectively. There was no statistically significant correlation between the elastography index values and estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, Ki-67, histologic grade, or molecular subtype among these breast resection cases.

Conclusion: The elastography index value was insufficient to predict the specified histopathological parameters.

Published: January 2023

Rare earth (Yb3+, Ho3+, Tm3+) yttrium disilicate phosphors were produced by sol-gel technique and heated at 1050 °C temperature. The sizes of the phosphors vary between 20-30 nm according to the images obtained from the Transmission Electron Microscope. The up-conversion (UC) emissions of the nanopowders were measured in the range of 500–900 nm wavelength under 950 nm laser excitation. A linear increase with power was observed in the emission intensity ratio depending on the laser excitation power. Using the FIR technique, the phosphor’s temperature was determined by the heating effect caused by the laser pump power. Due to the change in intensity ratio versus temperature, the temperature sensitivity at 428 K was calculated as 0.781x10-2K-1 and it was suggested that it can be used as a promising temperature sensor probe in photonic devices.

The Bay of Campeche is located in a region of moderate to high seismic activity related to the active triple junction between the North American, Caribbean, and Cocos plate boundaries. Therefore, the fixed offshore platforms and subsea structures in the Bay of Campeche must be designed against earthquake loading. A database was developed of classification and index properties tests, in situ measurements of shear wave velocity using downhole P-S suspension seismic velocity logging, in situ piezocone penetration tests, resonant column tests to characterize the shear modulus and material damping ratio at small shear strains (10−5 % to about 0.1 %), and strain-controlled cyclic direct simple shear tests to evaluate the decrease of shear modulus and the increase of material damping ratio at large shear strains (0.1 % to about 10 %) performed on clays from the Bay of Campeche, including clays with no carbonate content to 100 % carbonate content, retrieved from the seafloor to a penetration depth of 120 m below seafloor. The database was tailored specifically to develop empirical correlations for the Bay of Campeche clay to determine Vs when in situ measurements of Vs are not available and to develop numerical modeling to predict the variation of the normalized shear modulus (G/Gmax) and material damping ratio as a function of shear strains (g) when dynamic test results are unavailable for all the clay layers. The equations developed to calculate Vs and the curves of G/Gmax-g and D-g of Bay of Campeche clays are recommended for preliminary or perhaps even final seismic site response evaluations.
