Citizenship education is an integral part of the education system. Therefore, the civic education process needs to be carried out by courses and learning at all streams and levels of education. Functions and roles to achieve the goals of national education, civic education, develop, implement and apply in the context of the realization of the goals of national education. These three things become the basis and framework for thinking about and implementing Citizenship Education. There are several reasons why civic education is needed, namely symptoms and trends in non-political literacy or "political literacy" and not knowing how democracy and its system work; second, increasing political apathy is indicated by the participation of the most intellectual, emotional citizens. This is where the existence of Citizenship education is a very important tool for a democratic country, including Indonesia, to give birth to a country that is passed down from generation to generation and understands the values of the nation which is based on Pancasila and has skills.

Many students consider history learning in the form of rote learning, so students are reluctant to learn, especially for students who do not like to read. Teachers have an important role in presenting learning so that the lessons presented are not boring. Therefore, skills are needed in developing interesting approaches and methods or learning models that make students enthusiastic to follow the teaching and learning process to completion. The use of learning media can be used to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency in achieving learning objectives. Documentary films and History Smart Cards are one of the media that can be used to improve understanding of the material and student learning outcomes on the material of human life. The method used in this paper is a qualitative method so that the resulting data is in the form of descriptive data, where the data will provide an overview of the use of media-based historical learning models (Media Based Learning. The use of filters and KPS has an influence on increasing understanding and learning outcomes on the material). Pre-literate human life that can be seen from the completeness of learning outcomes used for cognitive assessment and filling in the KPS can be used as a psychomotor dimension.
Autocephaly for the Ukrainian Church: Religious Transitions Before and After Tomos and Attitudes Towards it (the Case of the Volyn Region)
Authors: Salnikova Svitlana
Published: May 2023

The attainment of autocephaly by the Orthodox Church of Ukraine intensified the religious transitions of parishes that were preceded by individual parishioners’ switches. The highest dynamics of such transitions occurred in the Volyn Region in the north-western part of Ukraine. These transitions refer exclusively to a switch from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine without affecting other religious communities. Most of the population supported the autocephalous status of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, for they consider granting autocephaly as a major historical event for the Ukrainian nation. The process of active religious transitions was primarily determined by the aptness of each parish community and political climate on a national level. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine was able to maintain its high regard, but with the change of political power in Ukraine in 2019, it lost political support. The process of religious transitions dwindled.

Published: May 2023

The present study had a pedagogical experiment design. The participants of the study were 17-18-year-old male powerlifters with cerebral palsy. The participants were selected and allocated into two groups: Group A and Group B. Both the groups were homogenous in terms of physical and mental state of training. Pre-test and post tests were conducted for physical qualities and mental states of the participants. During the annual experiment, powerlifters in groups А and B performed different training programs with various ratios of specific and non-specific loads. In group A, the ratio was 60% - 40%, while in group B was 70% - 30%. Upon completing the annual experiment, a better (р<0.05) level of physical qualities (speed, speed-strength and static endurance) and mental state of training (neuropsychic resistance, success motivation and motivation to avoid failures) was identified in participants of group A. Therefore, we recommend to use specific and non-specific loads in a ratio of 60% - 40% when training 17-18-year-old male powerlifters with cerebral palsy.

Published: May 2023

The primary aim of the current study was to identify the psychophysiological characteristics of basketball players and to conduct a comparative analysis of the level of development of indicators of physical fitness of basketball players and their peers who do not play basketball. The participants of this study were Ukrainian basketball players aged 12 to 13 years, and adolescents of the same age who did not play basketball. The psychophysiological state of the participants was measured through a series of physical and psychological tests. The psychophysiological state of Ukrainian basketball players aged 12 to 13 years was significantly higher than the psychophysiological state of adolescents of the same age who did not play basketball. Basketball players had significant better results in short-distance speed tests and in speed endurance (300 meter run test). Basketball players also had significant better results in strength, measured by jumping test and pull-up bar test. Furthermore, basketball players had better results in psychological skills than those who did not play basketball, with better results in self-control, emotional stability, will to win, purposefulness, perseverance, endurance, determination, courage, initiative, discipline, and self-confidence.

Published: May 2023

Background: Wrist pain is common and debilitating among gymnasts, presenting a tricky diagnostic and therapeutic challenge resulting in falling down in training sessions and during performance. Objective: To find out the effect of high-power laser treatment, either alone or in combination with exercise, on wrist pain, function and joint position sense in female gymnasts with non-specific chronic wrist pain. Methods: Thirty-six female gymnasts (aged 10 to 16 years) who were diagnosed with non-specific wrist pain were recruited as the participants for the study, and were randomly allocated into three groups. The participants of the laser therapy group received only high power laser therapy, the exercise program group participants received exercises only, and the participants of the combined therapy group received both laser and exercises.  Pain, function, and joint position sense were the outcomes measures in the study. Results: In all treatment groups, all measured results improved after therapy. The laser therapy group had the least significant impact, whereas the combined therapy group had the most significant impact. Conclusion: It might be early to say whether solely high-power laser therapy is an effective non-invasive modality for treating female gymnasts with non-specific chronic wrist pain. The addition of associated co-interventions to high power laser treatment can improve the beneficial effects of laser therapy.

Rouge impératrice de Léonora Miano : invitation et convocation des « métaphores du futur »
Authors: Buecher-Nelson Mélissa
Published: May 2023

Certaines « métaphores du futur », expression tirée de l’essai Afrotopia de Felwine Sarr, surgissent du récit d’anticipation de Léonora Miano, Rouge impératrice, et mettent en avant un continent africain au futur pacifié, bénéficiant d’une économie stable et florissante. Cependant, cette vision plutôt positive du futur africain fait naître certaines controverses. Par l’intermédiaire d’un rapprochement entre l’essai de Felwine Sarr et le roman de Léonora Miano, cet article examine en quoi Rouge impératrice oscille entre l’utopie et son opposé, la dystopie. Il souligne également les réflexions fécondes (les fameuses « métaphores du futur ») qui jaillissent des projections dans des mondes alternatifs et qui tentent de montrer une voie dépassant la dichotomie traditionnelle entre utopie et dystopie.
Messages-marchandises et homologie entre linguistique et économie à partir de Rossi-Landi
Authors: D’Urso Andrea
Published: May 2023

Notre contribution portera sur la méthode très singulière de la sémiotique de Ferruccio Rossi-Landi proposant une homologie entre la production linguistique et la production matérielle, qui permet de montrer les aspects sémiotiques de l’économie au sens strict. Il s’agira, tout d’abord, de relever la spécificité et l’originalité de l’approche matérialiste-dialectique de Rossi-Landi; puis, de mettre en évidence sa considération des messages comme marchandises et des marchandises comme messages; ensuite, de souligner sa reconnaissance de l’intuition sémiotique de Marx lorsqu’il a fait l’analyse du caractère purement signique de la valeur d’échange dans Le Capital. Enfin, nous présenterons quelques prolongements et intersections possibles des théories rossi-landiennes vis-à-vis des analyses récentes de l’actuelle phase capitaliste et du rôle exorbitant des messages-marchandises dans notre époque de production-communication.
The Semiotics of the Commodity in the Marxian Concept of Value
Authors: Dantas Marcos
Published: May 2023

The Marxian concept of value is a cultural and hence a semiotic concept, rather than economic. Based on a scrutiny of Marx’s writings, this article proposes that Marx’s analysis of the commodity can and should also be interpreted as a semiotic treatise. This insight may also be relevant to contemporary Marxian investigations concerning labour and value in capitalism insofar as the notion of value of commodities is concerned. Whereas the literature on the crisis of value theories has focused primarily on the relationship between use value and exchange-value (and abstract labour), the present paper focuses on the aspect of the sign value of commodities in Marx’s theory and on how the notion of value represents of human labour.
The Semiotics of Development: Towards the Economics of Path Dependence
Authors: Macedo Luís Otávio Bau
Published: May 2023

Development is a concept whose ontological foundations are include phenomena, such as technologies, institutions, and cultural traits that embody the determinants of development differentials. This contribution argues that semiotics is the science to study these complex phenomena of development. Its approach is based on Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotics and John Searle’s analysis of social reality. Development trajectories are depicted as specific compounds of institutions (signs), technologies (objects), and markets (interpretants) that create meaningful properties depending on symbolic forms. Development is a socially structured and observer-relative phenomenon. Developmental semiosis depends upon symbolic powers that structure and assemble collective intentionality. The paper advances two critical conditions essential to development. The first is semiotic intra-coherence, which is related with the bridging of dispositional functions in a coordinated way in networks of artifacts and users. The second is inter-coherence. It takes place as the supervenient causality of social structures and the performative character of habitual patterns of behavior. Both are intertwined in syntactic and semantic forms evolving in time by forging the development of path-dependent trajectories.
A Semiotic Approach to Information in Economics
Authors: Herrmann-Pillath Carsten
Published: May 2023

Information is central to modern economics, but mostly treated in a disembodied form. The paper suggests a semiotic approach to information that interprets information in terms of thermodynamic information theory. This builds on C. S. Peirce’s concept of finality, relating final causes to energetic transformations in the economy, which operate in the efficient-causal mode. I substantiate this argument in a semiotic analysis of design as mediating such transformations via technology.
La participation au processus judiciaire
Authors: Niang Anta , Vargas Diaz Rosita , Brunelle Natacha , Goyette Martin
Published: May 2023

Cet article vise à présenter les résultats d’une recherche qualitative conduite auprès de 10 jeunes placés sous la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour les adolescents (LSJPA) au Québec. L’approche de la justice interactionnelle a permis d’explorer comment ces jeunes perçoivent leurs interactions avec les juges durant les audiences ainsi que les implications de ces interactions dans leur engagement dans leur propre processus de rétablissement. Les résultats mettent en évidence l’importance de la préparation de ces jeunes à l’audience, de la conciliation du juge dans le processus décisionnel ainsi que de la création d’un espace d’échanges avec ces jeunes comme levier de leur participation. La création d’une alliance relationnelle avec ces jeunes favorise une continuité et une stabilité de jugement, conditions essentielles pour instaurer une relation de confiance avec ces jeunes et leur permettre de s’engager dans leur propre processus de (ré)intégration sociocommunautaire. Enfin, cette recherche invite à poursuivre les réflexions autour de la perception du sentiment de justice des jeunes en contexte judiciaire et à étayer davantage les recherches conduites à ce sujet dans le champ de justice juvénile.
Le témoignage des mineurs à la cour

Published: May 2023

L’acte de témoigner devant un tribunal peut être une épreuve extrêmement éprouvante et exigeante pour les enfants et adolescents victimes ou témoins d’actes criminels. Certains jeunes, notamment ceux pris en charge en vertu de la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse (LPJ), ont des besoins particuliers et peuvent avoir à témoigner à plus d’une reprise. Alors que plusieurs enfants et adolescents sont appelés à témoigner, peu d’études ont permis de documenter l’apport des programmes de préparation au témoignage pour bien accompagner les jeunes. Au sein d’un échantillon de jeunes bénéficiant d’un programme de préparation au témoignage, cette étude vise à documenter leur expérience judiciaire et à évaluer l’apport du programme sur le niveau de craintes des témoins mineurs. Les résultats indiquent que les filles entretiennent plus de craintes que les garçons à l’idée de témoigner. Les résultats montrent que 44,1 % des jeunes qui ont été préparés au témoignage ont eu à livrer un témoignage. Une diminution significative du niveau de craintes autorapportées dans le Fears of Court Questionnaire (Centre for Children and Families in the Justice System, 2002) a été observée entre le pré-test et au terme de l’intervention. Ces résultats confirment l’importance de bien préparer les jeunes qui sont amenés à témoigner. D’autres études sont nécessaires pour documenter les autres retombées du programme.
Recherche socioéducative et politiques publiques visant les jeunes en transition vers l’âge adulte issus du système de protection dans la Communauté de Madrid
Authors: Melendro Miguel , Gómez-Aparicio Ana Cristina
Published: May 2023

Cet article passe en revue quatre projets de recherche quantitatifs portant sur les problèmes, les défis et les besoins des jeunes sous protection au cours de leur transition vers l’âge adulte et les actions et politiques publiques développées en vue de leur inclusion sociale. L’objectif principal est de fournir des informations pertinentes sur les points nodaux, les synergies et les dilemmes dans l’approche de la transition vers l’âge adulte des jeunes issus des systèmes de protection de l’enfance et de l’adolescence. Les informations sont organisées autour de ces principaux points, qui synthétisent les aspects clés de la réalité analysée et orientent les réponses qui peuvent être proposées. Les résultats montrent la pertinence de l’évaluation positive des intervenants, des interventions et des programmes, la recherche d’autonomie et la formation de compétences, les différences de genre dans la réponse à l’intervention, les dilemmes posés entre la nécessité de lutter contre l’échec scolaire tout en favorisant l’insertion professionnelle afin d’accéder à une autonomie précoce, l’intervention avec et auprès de la famille et le défi migratoire. Les politiques sociales qui accompagnent ces points nodaux montrent la richesse des processus d’échange de connaissances développés entre les institutions publiques, les entités sociales et les universités.
Nombre d’intervenants et insatisfaction à l’égard des services en protection de la jeunesse
Authors: Gauthier-Davies Christophe , Blanchet Alexandre , Esposito Tonino , Goyette Martin
Published: May 2023

Au Québec, les jeunes placés sous la tutelle de la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse sont suivis par un nombre important d’intervenants, notamment en raison du roulement de personnel, mais également à cause de la structure organisationnelle de ces services. Il est probable que le nombre d’intervenants ait un impact sur la qualité des services offerts aux jeunes placés sous la protection de la jeunesse. À partir des données de l’Étude longitudinale sur le devenir des jeunes placés (EDJeP), nous nous intéressons à la relation entre le nombre d’intervenants assignés et la satisfaction à l’égard des services reçus auprès de jeunes en situation de transition à la vie adulte placés par la protection de la jeunesse. Deux indicateurs sont utilisés afin d’examiner la satisfaction concernant les services reçus par les jeunes d’EDJeP : la satisfaction de l’aide reçue par les intervenants et la satisfaction de l’expérience de placement. Nos analyses de régression logistique ont permis de mettre en lumière une relation négative entre le nombre d’intervenants assignés aux jeunes et la satisfaction de ces derniers relativement aux services reçus : un nombre plus élevé d’intervenants est lié à une insatisfaction ayant trait aux services reçus. Enfin, nous discutons des implications de ces résultats, notamment quant à l’instabilité des trajectoires de services, au roulement de personnel, à l’offre des services, à l’embauche, à l’assignation des dossiers et au transfert de dossiers des jeunes.
Entre protection de la jeunesse et justice des mineurs
Authors: Dumollard Marie
Published: May 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à la continuité du suivi sociopénal expérimenté par les jeunes judiciarisés dans le système québécois de justice des mineurs qui sont aussi suivis ou l’ont été par le passé en vertu de la Loi sur la protection de la jeunesse. Il analyse l’expérience des passages d’un système d’intervention à l’autre et les implications des articulations entre les deux systèmes dans les parcours juvéniles. À partir des données issues d’une recherche qualitative, il montre que les jeunes dits « sous double mandat » sont pris dans de multiples déplacements marqués par une certaine porosité entre les deux systèmes d’intervention, notamment en matière d’encadrement et de surveillance. Plus concrètement, trois formes de continuité entre le système de protection de la jeunesse et celui de justice des mineurs se dessinent en réponse aux comportements juvéniles : la progression et la continuité de l’encadrement de la protection de la jeunesse vers le pénal ; les implications contraignantes du suivi dans l’un des deux systèmes sur l’autre ; la prolongation similaire, dans les deux systèmes, du contrôle au-delà des murs des milieux de placement fermés. Finalement, cet article montre que la construction des parcours des jeunes sous double mandat s’opère sous un continuum d’intervention hybride qui illustre les formes de la continuité entre protection et pénal.
Jeunes trans et non binaires en protection de la jeunesse

Published: May 2023

Les jeunes trans et non binaires forment une population que l’on sait à risque de vivre des situations de discrimination et de violence et à très haut risque de vivre de la négligence parentale. Les quelques recherches disponibles sur leur expérience en protection de la jeunesse montrent que ces jeunes sont souvent forcé·e·s de vivre dans un genre qui ne leur convient pas et de subir de la discrimination à même ces milieux. L’article présente les données obtenues dans le cadre de l’Étude sur le devenir des jeunes placés (EDJeP), et décrit certaines caractéristiques des jeunes trans et non binaires en contexte de protection au Québec. Il dresse un portrait préliminaire de la situation de ces jeunes, des raisons de leur placement, ainsi que de leur satisfaction quant à leur expérience en protection de la jeunesse par rapport aux jeunes cis de l’EDJeP. Les résultats mettent en lumière la surreprésentation des jeunes trans et non binaires dans la population de jeunes placé·e·s par rapport à la population générale et permettent de constater que les jeunes trans et non binaires vivent des situations qui se distinguent de celles vécues par les jeunes cisgenres.
La justice restaurative des jeunes
Authors: Filippi Jessica
Published: May 2023

La justice restaurative (JR) en France a connu une mise en oeuvre « officielle » à la Protection judiciaire de la jeunesse (PJJ) dès 2018 à la suite de l’appel à projets lancé par la Direction de la PJJ (DPJJ). Depuis le 30 septembre 2021, l’avènement du Code de justice pénale des mineurs (CJPM) a légiféré en droit pénal des mineurs ces pratiques dans le titre préliminaire du code relatif aux principes généraux de la justice pénale des mineurs. Si la JR relève d’une approche basée sur les droits de l’enfant, constitue-t-elle pour autant un droit accessible pour lui ? Le recueil et l’analyse des témoignages de près de cinquante professionnels de la PJJ (cadres territoriaux et professionnels des services) montrent que si la JR est avancée comme un droit, un ensemble de facteurs limite l’accès des jeunes à ce dispositif (moyens, logique de contrôle, culture éducative et protectionnelle).
Accéder, saisir et prendre en compte les expériences des enfants
Authors: Faisca Elodie
Published: May 2023

À partir d’une étude élaborée avec et à destination d’enfants âgés de 8 à 18 ans à propos du vécu du confinement, cet article aborde certains enjeux théoriques et méthodologiques associés aux processus de participation. Au cours de l’année 2020, des dizaines de pays ont été amenés à prendre des mesures de confinement des populations afin de faire face à une pandémie mondiale. L’objectif de cette étude est de pouvoir accéder aux expériences et aux vécus des enfants accompagnés ou pris en charge par la protection de l’enfance, ainsi que des professionnels les entourant. La méthodologie qualitative et participative utilisée est détaillée dans une première partie. Elle comprend des entretiens avec des professionnels (N = 11) et des enfants (N = 13), l’élaboration d’un questionnaire construit avec l’aide des enfants interrogés ainsi que l’interprétation, avec des enfants, des réponses obtenues (N = 217). L’article propose, dans un second temps, de présenter certains résultats issus de l’interprétation de ces données. Pour finir, nous proposons une réflexion autour des conditions, des freins et des effets qu’une telle démarche participative peut comporter.
La confiance pour intervenir avec les jeunes contrevenants
Authors: Mignon Fanny , Ouellet Frédéric
Published: May 2023

Carlo Morselli s’intéressait depuis plusieurs années aux avenues possibles pour appliquer l’analyse de réseaux aux objectifs des différents milieux de pratique. La littérature souligne le potentiel d’une telle approche et l’importance chez les détenus d’entretenir des liens positifs pour compenser l’absence de leurs proches. Cette recherche explore les réseaux de confiance de jeunes contrevenants hébergés au Centre de réadaptation Cité-des-Prairies à Montréal afin d’en examiner l’utilité dans le quotidien des unités. L’argumentaire caractérise la confiance de deux unités à travers le temps. Trois éléments apparaissent particulièrement d’intérêt pour favoriser la compréhension du milieu : le biais qu’entraîne la présence d’acteurs englobants sur la densité de confiance ; la limitation des erreurs de perception des liens de confiance grâce à la stabilité du réseau ; et le lien apparemment positif entre confiance et climat de groupe. Les résultats ouvrent une discussion qui encourage ce type de milieu à intégrer une approche sociométrique, en montrant comment le réseau de confiance pourrait servir les interventions quotidiennes vers l’atteinte des objectifs du milieu.
Zombie Semiotics and the Economics of the Apocalypse
Authors: Hartley John
Published: May 2023

This paper explores the relations between economics and semiotics, using as its main conceptual lever the figure of the zombie. John Quiggin, Paul Krugman and others criticise the persistence of ‘undead ideas’ in economics. The paper applies this perspective to urban semiosis, where undead monuments have become key sites for staged conflict across the world. Working from Doru Pop’s critique of ‘zombie semiotics’, the paper turns from fiction to the realities of the digital semiosphere and technosphere. Using Juri Lotman’s model, it shows how the climate and coronavirus crises are globally mediated but not self-regulated. It identifies reflexive autocommunication as the means for semiospheric response to planetary crises. Zombie economics and conflict media spread fear of automation and ‘useless’ populations, while techno-entrepreneurs plan to abandon the planet to the apocalypse. It is left to autocommunication among teenage activists to contest the real zombies.
Assessing Thermal Comfort Perception in the Context of Social Housing. Case Study in Northern Spain
Authors: Perez-Bezos Silvia , Grijalba Olatz , Hernández Minguillón Rufino Javier
Published: May 2023

The influence of people on building performance in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact is becoming increasingly significant. It is essential to include users’ perspective, their comfort and satisfaction in decision making to ensure not only their well-being, but also the feasibility of interventions and the adequate performance of the building stock. Furthermore, understanding residents’ level of thermal satisfaction can enable more appropriate measures to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. Although there are several methods for studying thermal comfort, such as qualitative analyses based on surveys or perceived comfort indices such as PPD and PMV, thermal satisfaction is susceptible to the subjectivity of the responses. It may be necessary to contrast different indices or methods. This study aims to define an indicator that measures the level of thermal satisfaction of social housing occupants so that it can be contrasted with other methods of analysis of perceived comfort and can be replicated in different building contexts. A way to analyse users’ thermal satisfaction is proposed in a quantitative way, measured as the difference of the desired temperature and the perceived indoor temperature. The index is applied to a sample of 283 social housing dwellings in the Basque Country, Spain, with the data obtained via surveys that include questions on thermal comfort in winter and households’ characteristics. The thermal satisfaction has been analysed and the results have been contrasted with the perceived thermal comfort in winter and the household’s capacity to maintain the dwelling at the desired temperature. Moreover, it has been observed whether there may be energy vulnerabilities by contrasting the satisfaction result with the income and expenditure per person in the household. The obtained variable provides occupants’ opinion and perception to ensure the suitability of the solutions for improving the energy efficiency of the building and the thermal comfort. It is also possible to apply it to different building typologies and compare the results with other models of perceived thermal comfort.

Promoting sustainability in educational systems is crucial for preserving resources and diminishing negative impacts on the environment. A key aspect of this is enhancing energy efficiency within educational institutions. By implementing energy-efficient building systems, advancing the use of renewable energy sources, and incorporating sustainable practices into the curriculum, educational institutions can decrease their environmental impact and conserve resources for future generations. Active participation from all stakeholders, including managers, teaching staff, and students, is essential for the success of these efforts. Providing students with a comprehensive education on sustainability equips them to apply this knowledge in their future professions, thus contributing to a more sustainable society. This research paper aims to explore ways to increase sustainability in Latvia's vocational education system, with a specific focus on reducing energy consumption in buildings and increasing the use of renewable energy sources. A study of 23 professional schools has been conducted to understand the current state of sustainability in the educational system, including data collection on energy consumption and surveying the schools on their current energy efficiency practices, renewable energy sources, and environmental policies. The energy efficiency and renewable energy production measures have been optimized for each school. A composite indicator has been developed to rank and compare schools based on their sustainability, promoting the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy sources within a limited budget. Results of the study show that by implementing mandatory and optional measures, the schools can significantly decrease primary energy consumption by 32% and greenhouse gas emissions by 33%.

School feeding programme is an important aspect of child’s cognitive development. Home-grown school feeding is an intervention programme designed for school aged children in order to eradicate hunger, increase enrolment, improve pupils’ nutritional value and pupils’ cognitive development whereas these objectives have not be achieved. Therefore, aim of the study is to holistically review the challenges faced in the implementation of home-grown school feeding programme among primary school pupils in Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Mali) and ways of solving these challenges. The paper also reviewed the concept of home-grown school feeding and its challenges. A qualitative research design of systematic search strategy type was used to gathered information in different databases and journals. In the course of the study, the researchers discovered that the programme is faced with the issues of corruption due non- remittance of regular fund to the school vendors and underfunding of the programmes. Other penitent issues include: low and inadequate storage facilities, political interferences, inadequate nutritional meals and low level of implementation. The researchers recommended that caterers should be trained by dieticians on the type of food to prepare for pupils’ and also government should set up a monitoring team to supervise the home-grown school feeding programme for proper implementation in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Mali and other Sub-Sahara Africa Countries.

Attachment to a substrate to maintain position in a specific ecological niche is a common strategy across biology, especially for eukaryotic parasites. During development in the sand fly vector, the eukaryotic parasite Leishmania adheres to the stomodeal valve, as the specialised haptomonad form. Dissection of haptomonad adhesion is a critical step for understanding the complete life cycle of Leishmania. Nevertheless, haptomonad studies are limited, as this is a technically challenging life cycle form to investigate. Here, we have combined three-dimensional electron microscopy approaches, including serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBFSEM) and serial tomography to dissect the organisation and architecture of haptomonads in the sand fly. We showed that the attachment plaque contains distinct structural elements. Using time-lapse light microscopy of in vitro haptomonad-like cells, we identified five stages of haptomonad-like cell differentiation, and showed that calcium is necessary for Leishmania adhesion to the surface in vitro. This study provides the structural and regulatory foundations of Leishmania adhesion, which are critical for a holistic understanding of the Leishmania life cycle.

Listeners with hearing loss often struggle to understand speech in noise, even with a hearing aid. To better understand the auditory processing deficits that underlie this problem, we made large-scale brain recordings from gerbils, a common animal model for human hearing, while presenting a large database of speech and noise sounds. We first used manifold learning to identify the neural subspace in which speech is encoded and found that it is low-dimensional and that the dynamics within it are profoundly distorted by hearing loss. We then trained a deep neural network (DNN) to replicate the neural coding of speech with and without hearing loss and analyzed the underlying network dynamics. We found that hearing loss primarily impacts spectral processing, creating nonlinear distortions in cross-frequency interactions that result in a hypersensitivity to background noise that persists even after amplification with a hearing aid. Our results identify a new focus for efforts to design improved hearing aids and demonstrate the power of DNNs as a tool for the study of central brain structures.

Systems genetics has begun to tackle the complexity of insulin resistance by capitalising on computational advances to study high-diversity populations. ‘Diversity Outbred in Australia (DOz)’ is a population of genetically unique mice with profound metabolic heterogeneity. We leveraged this variance to explore skeletal muscle’s contribution to whole-body insulin action through metabolic phenotyping and skeletal muscle proteomics of 215 DOz mice. Linear modelling identified 553 proteins that associated with whole-body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda Index) including regulators of endocytosis and muscle proteostasis. To enrich for causality, we refined this network by focusing on negatively associated, genetically regulated proteins, resulting in a 76-protein fingerprint of insulin resistance. We sought to perturb this network and restore insulin action with small molecules by integrating the Broad Institute Connectivity Map platform and in vitro assays of insulin action using the Prestwick chemical library. These complementary approaches identified the antibiotic thiostrepton as an insulin resistance reversal agent. Subsequent validation in ex vivo insulin-resistant mouse muscle and palmitate-induced insulin-resistant myotubes demonstrated potent insulin action restoration, potentially via upregulation of glycolysis. This work demonstrates the value of a drug-centric framework to validate systems-level analysis by identifying potential therapeutics for insulin resistance.

Published: May 2023

The Taklimakan Desert (TD) is the largest desert in China located in the Tarim Basin (TB) in China’s arid region. This study is a review of the change in precipitation and its extremes since 1961 and the high-impact extreme precipitation events in 2012–2021, particularly in 2021, with a focus on the TD along with the surrounding oases and mountainous regions.The TB has experienced significantly warmer and wetter trends since 1961, and extreme rainfall has increased significantly in the TD and its surrounding areas during the 2000s. In the TB, the year 2021 was identified as the 4th warmest for 1961–2021, and was remembered for unprecedented extreme events. Three high-impact extreme events that occurred in 2021 are highlighted, including extreme heavy rainfall over Hetian in mid-June. The earliest extreme rainfall event occurred over North Bazhou in early spring, and the strongest heavy snowfall over Baicheng in April. In addition, we also discussed the underlying physical mechanisms of extreme events over the TB and proposed novel perspectives and unresolved questions on the sciences of heavy rainfall in arid regions. Our results provide a reference for the physical mechanism, attribution, and high-resolution modeling of extreme events.
