Relationship Among Teachers’ Occupational Interests, Job Satisfaction and Performance in Government Secondary Schools in North Central Nigeria
Authors: Isaiah Iornenge Shamo
Published: September 2023

This study investigated the relationship among teachers’ occupational interests, job satisfaction and performance in government secondary schools in North-Central Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey design using teachers in government secondary schools in the North-Central Geopolitical zone of Nigeria. A sample size of 384 teachers comprising 153 males and 231 females participated in the study through stratified random sampling procedure. Three instruments were used for the study – Vocational Interests Inventory (VII) Job Satisfaction Inventory for Teachers (JOSIT) and Teachers Job Performance Inventory (TEJOPI). The reliability of the instruments was determined through test re-test method using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient which yielded reliability indices of 0.92, 0.84 and 0.81 for VII, JOSIT and TEJOPI respectively. One research question and three hypotheses guided the conduct of the study. Data generated was analyzed using mean scores and standard deviation for the research question. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for hypotheses one and two while Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to test hypothesis three. The findings revealed that teachers in government secondary schools in North-Central Nigeria were dissatisfied with their jobs as reflected in the sectional mean of 2.712. The findings further revealed that a significant relationship existed between occupational interests and job satisfaction but not with job performance. The findings further indicated that there was no significant relationship between jobs satisfaction and Job performance. The researcher recommended among other measures, that government as the major employer of labour should ensure periodic improvements in the working conditions of teachers to enhance their job satisfaction and boost productivity.
Political and legal aberration: nihilism and weapons
Authors: KORZH I. , KIRIENKO V.
Published: September 2023

The subject of this study is the current political and legal phenomenon, which is “political and legal aberration”. The study reveals the content of the subject, which is considered, on the one hand, as a manifestation of legal nihilism, which is typical for the actions of public authorities and political structures within the state due to their conscious or unconscious disregard for the norms of international law, carried out in their narrow corporate interests. On the other hand, it is a kind of legal mechanism, a legal weapon, which is used as a result of the subject of international law giving priority to its domestic legislation over international law, carried out with the aim of hybrid aggression, solving its imperial goals of seizing the lands of its neighbors, etc. To this end, and counting on impunity, all sorts of crimes are committed in the occupied and other territories of the victim country. Such a subject of international law, in this case, is the Russian Federation. The article examines the practical manifestations of legal nihilism in various public authorities of Ukraine in modern conditions, analyzes their causes and the onset of negative consequences for the realization of the dream of Ukrainian society - the European integration of Ukraine, joining the family of European, democratic, economically developed countries. Attention is focused on various aspects of the above, including the manifestation of such a negative consequence of legal nihilism as the peculiar desire of public authorities to carry out judicial reform in Ukraine. It is noted that this situation serves as a kind of barrier to the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Ukrainian society. It is noted that in modern conditions, when individual subjects of international law use the law itself not as a universal democratic mechanism for regulating social relations, but as a kind of legal weapon against political and legal opponents in order to achieve their own, primarily imperial, mercantile interests, to undermine the existing world law and order, public security systems, etc., thereby destroying the existing systems of international security, the system of established and regulated legal relations, and creating threats to the existence of life itself on the planet. A conclusion is made about the expediency of reformatting the existing  international institutions of security and legal relations, or their complete reboot, or even their liquidation and creation of new ones, following the example of the liquidation of the League of Nations and the formation of the current UN.

The evolution of information human rights
Authors: TYKHOMYROV O.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the identification of stages and important trends in the information human rights evolution, which in modern conditions can be considered as an independent and peculiar complex of rights, principles, requirements, guarantees, and mechanisms of ensuring within the framework of the human rights system. It was found that the formation of information rights is influenced by a number of factors, the determining factor of which is the informatization of social life and the formation of a global information society. Based on the facts of legal recognition and registration of manifestations of information rights in international law in the process of their development, the “pretechnological” period, the stages of “conceptualization of social informatization”, “internetization”, “digitalization” are highlighted.

Published: September 2023

Eye shadow is one of the decorative cosmetic that contains color that is applied to the eyelids. Eye shadows were generally blue, pink, dark red, silver, green, and brown. Natural dyes are derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms. Butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) and secang wood (Caesalpinia sappan L.) are plants that contain natural dyes that can be used as dyes. The two plants were removed by maceration in 70% ethanol. Eye shadow preparation using a combination of extract spissum of  butterfly pea flower and secang wood produces eye shadow with a purple color in 3 formulations, namely F3 extract spissum butterfly pea flower and secang wood (3:2), F4 extract spissum butterfly pea flower and secang wood (2:3), F5 extract spissum butterfly pea flower and secang wood (1:4). In the hedonic test, there was no significant difference >0.05% among F3, F4, and F5. Thus, the results of the irritation test showed that the eye shadow cream preparation produced an irritation index of 1.00, namely, mild irritation.
Keywords: Eye shadow, butterfly pea flower, Secang wood.

A interdisciplinaridade é uma abordagem que possui várias definições e diferentes métodos de aplicação, mas, com o objetivo comum de promover a interação entre diferentes disciplinas, o qual requer um bom desempenho da prática pedagógica. Assim, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura narrativa a fim de dialogar sobre o uso das práticas pedagógicas interdisciplinares no ensino de Ciências. Dada essa questão, a pesquisa bibliográfica realizada mostrou que a prática pedagógica interdisciplinar apresenta intensos desafios, principalmente, relacionada a formação docente, mas, os dados da pesquisa também revelam que a prática interdisciplinar no ensino de Ciências agrega um grande valor ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem ao contribuir para uma construção do saber de forma integral. Portanto, conclui-se que a prática pedagógica interdisciplinar é essencial para estabelecer relações entre diferentes áreas do conhecimento, mas, que necessita de certas mudanças no âmbito educacional e, na prática docente.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ESTATÍSTICA PARA O ENSINO DAS CIÊNCIAS, COMO LEITURA DE MUNDO
Authors: Santos Jéssika Silveria Melo dos , Borges Ana Patrícia Vargas , Pacheco Clecia Simone Gonçalves Rosa
Published: September 2023

A Estatística é uma área de pesquisa, na Matemática, que surgiu dos interesses governamentais. Seu foco envolve a transformação dos dados em interpretações parciais da realidade. A Educação traz a estatística como uma ferramenta rígida, sendo necessário haver uma ruptura deste pensamento, o que pode ser feito por meio do letramento estatístico e da educação estatística. Os autores consultados trazem diferenças conceituais entre esses termos, para se debruçarem na Educação Estatística. Como Freire diz, "a teoria sem o diálogo com a realidade se torna um conhecimento inútil, assim como o oposto torna o propagador um tolo”. Assim, propôs-se a construção do presente artigo, sobre a importância da educação Estatística para a leitura e interpretação dos diferentes fenômenos, em especial os sociais. A partir da pesquisa, pôde-se perceber que a Estatística está passando por transformação, do ponto de vista educacional, visto que a pandemia e as tecnologias digitais movimentaram um conjunto massivo de dados que podem informar ou manipular o leitor sem letramento estatístico. No decorrer da pesquisa, articulam-se situações práticas (como educação básica, comunidade indígena, inter- e transdisciplinaridade, decisões de gestores políticos, aprendizagem significativa. tecnologias digitais, formação de professores e práticas pedagógicas) à educação Estatística, evidenciando lacunas de pesquisa e sua importância na interpretação semiótica e postura crítico-reflexivo, para que o indivíduo tenha o poder de intervir em sua comunidade e realidade.

Published: September 2023

Alguns termos como “consciente” e “meio ambiente” são convenientemente utilizados no Brasil, constantemente relacionados à diversidade de fauna e flora do país. Além dos fatores sociais, atribui-se isto a questão de educação e formas de uso dos recursos naturais, sendo consenso, que a principal forma de convivência com o ambiente deve ser através de respeito, uma forma de adquiri-lo, sem dúvidas, é na escola. Com o propósito de contribuir com o desenvolvimento das metodologias empregadas na escola pública, o projeto “A educação ambiental como ferramenta transformadora do cotidiano da escola pública: apontando novos caminhos metodológicos” em parceria com as escolas, planejou estratégias para que a aplicação dos conhecimentos sobre Educação Ambiental deixe de ser centralizado em algumas disciplinas e passe a ser visto de forma abrangente, para assim, melhorar o conhecimento e as atitudes da comunidade escolar, visto que, o tema influencia a todos, tomando como base o agir localmente, porém, pensando globalmente. Os avanços puderam ser contabilizados a partir de resultados que desencadearam numa série de discussões na comunidade escolar em todos os seus seguimentos, além, da inclusão de temas relacionados ao ambiente e a Educação Ambiental, de maneira conjunta com às disciplinas do parâmetro curricular obrigatório, na perspectiva de que os estudantes possam relacionar os assuntos vistos na escola com a sua vida cotidiana.

Published: September 2023

. One of the basic infrastructures in the economy of Russia forming its core budget is the fuel and energy complex. Oil and gas production on the Russian Arctic continental shelf demonstrates some development trends, i.e. various types of drilling rigs having differing parameters can be used for exploratory drilling in the Arctic conditions. Their brief description and rationale for the selection of the most efficient concept of the drilling rig for exploratory drilling in the Arctic conditions using analytic hierarchy method are the subjects of this article. To obtain the present results the calculation determining the selection criteria weight was carried out. Due to obtained results the existing alternatives were compared with further selection of the most efficient option for the specified conditions. Also, a new concept of combined submersible drilling rig for exploratory drilling in the Arctic conditions was presented.
Study of the ship-propeller interaction by trials of the river cargo ships
Authors: Platov Alexander J.
Published: September 2023

The calculation of the ship interaction is necessary for prediction of ships power, which are used in the problems of computation of the ships velocity and fuel consumption, as well as for the preliminary design of new ships. In the scientific and educational literature there are descriptions of several empirical methods for calculating wake fraction and thrust deduction. However, model trials data are extremely scarce, and ships trials data are completely absent. Based on the existing data of full-scale trials of ships, ship interaction coefficients were calculated and these data were compared with the available empirical methods, as well as with the hydrodynamic theory of interaction. It is shown that empirical methods do not correspond to the data of full-scale trials, even at a qualitative level. At the same time, it is shown that the data of full-scale trials qualitatively correspond to the theory of interaction.

An investigation of the impact of non-formal education on sustainable development in Mafeteng, Lesotho
Authors: Letsie Hlompho , Nkhi Sekoai Elliot , Mncina Tsepiso
Published: September 2023

In the context of this study, non-formal training has been viewed as an intentional educational endeavour that frequently operates outside the traditional schooling system, with the curriculum and instructional systems tailored to the participants' particular needs and requirements. The study explored the relationship between non-formal education training and sustainable development. An interpretive paradigm was espoused in this study using a qualitative approach confined within a case study, and in-depth face-to-face interviews with three managers from one program of poverty reduction were selected. The other 18 beneficiaries participated in three focus group discussions made of six participants per group. Findings from face-to-face interviews revealed challenges that managers faced in convincing old and illiterate beneficiaries to adapt to modern agricultural trends, especially climate change and the preservation of seeds. Furthermore, findings from focus group discussions reveal a number of training difficulties faced by the beneficiaries, including low literacy levels, lack of efficient teaching techniques, insufficient time for beneficiaries to fully comprehend the concepts, information overload, and the frustration they experience during training. On these premises, the study thus recommends that beneficiaries should be actively involved in all decision-making processes in order to understand their requirements and preferences as well as the transparent use of funding.
Reckoning with “Silent Sam”
Authors: Moore Cecelia
Published: September 2023

The Confederate soldier monument known as "Silent Sam” has occupied a prominent location at the campus entrance since 1913. Students and others have publicly questioned its presence for the last fifty years. In that time, people have gathered there to protest and to rally support for civil rights. From 2015 on, there has been an active student-led movement in favour of its removal, while alumni and heritage groups have resisted. An additional factor is a “monuments law” passed by the state legislature that year which prohibits its removal or alteration. On August 20, 2018, activists pulled down the statue that sits atop of the monument. University leaders are currently engaged in considering its next steps. Most Confederate monuments were erected in courthouse squares and public parks. Silent Sam is one of only two such monuments that stand on public university campuses. This essay considers the debates around Silent Sam, a story that encapsulates every aspect of the national debate over the control of political power, the shaping of public memory, and a long overdue reckoning with American history.
White Memory and White Violence at Elon University
Authors: Irons Charles F.
Published: September 2023

This essay documents the challenge of addressing incidents of violence with a fragmentary and contradictory historical record, as well as the irony of continuing to center white perspectives by focusing on the perpetrators of anti-Black violence at Elon College.  There is unequivocal evidence linking Jacob A. Long, the brother of Elon’s founding President William S. Long, to the 1870 lynching of Reconstruction-Era leader Wyatt Outlaw, but nothing on the President himself.  Moreover, the institution’s fourth president, William Harper, published anti-Black screeds and orchestrated a posse to apprehended John Jeffress on suspicion of rape but was conspicuously absent when a second group murdered Jeffress later that same day arrest, but he denied any advanced knowledge of his subsequent abduction and murder.  Official statements the University issued about Harper when removing his name from a university building in July 2020 have been plagued by uncertainty surrounding his role in the killing and ultimately obscured as much about his legacy as they have revealed. Perhaps even more problematically, the focus on these sensational acts of white violence has overshadowed the lives and experiences of early Black staff and students at Elon, yet another act of erasure even amid progress towards restorative justice.
Empty Spaces in Don Juan
Authors: Beatty Bernard
Published: September 2023

A (deliberately limited) enquiry into the interplay between different kinds of inner and outer space in the later cantos of Don Juan. The most obvious of these is the contrast of the paradisal landscape of Norman Abbey – and the great, empty but signifying space in the ruined window of the church – with the boredom of the guests in the interior of the house, which results from a different sense of emptiness. This is paralleled by the deliberate juxtaposition of the heart of Aurora Raby (‘serene within its zone’) and the ‘vacant’ heart of Lady Adeline. Aurora is described as embracing an equivalent of the arch’s empty space within her own depths of being. The sense that we cannot be our centre paralyses ‘Byronic’ heroes – as illustrated by an important passage in The Two Foscari – but is the source of Aurora’s simultaneous gravity and radiance.
The Paradoxes of Nationalism
Authors: Beatty Bernard
Published: September 2023

The chapter argues that in defending and celebrating the particularity of a nation there is a necessary counter-product since there will be a multitude of nations doing exactly the same thing: what is presented as exceptional is relativized. There is a similar tension between Byron’s identification with extant or emerging nations and his declared sense of being ‘a citizen of the world’. This tension is clearly present in Byron's account of Rome in the fourth canto of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. We expect the stanzas depicting the death of a gladiator in the Coliseum to be ‘Roman’ in the customary sense of valour and self-control, but the dying Gladiator is a Romanian who, as he dies, thinks of his distant home, wife and children who are called ‘young barbarians’. As the gladiator is butchered we suddenly see the crowd as barbarians in contrast to the noble simplicity of the Romanian.
Answering Nosferatu ’s Knock
Authors: England Nancy Rosenberg
Published: September 2023

At the centennial of the 1922 silent German Expressionist film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, it is time to take a fresh look at the character Knock. Knock is a conflation of two characters from Bram Stoker’s 1897 Dracula, predominately Renfield and, for narrative purposes, Mr. Hawkins. The epigraph above expresses the sentiment of the townsfolk of Wisborg, Germany; they are terrified of the misunderstood pandemic afflicting their loved ones and are seeking blind retribution. Knock is a problematic and contradictory character, and not a particularly sympathetic one. He kills an asylum guard. He sends a hyperbolically naive young man (Thomas Hutter, the Jonathan Harker equivalent) on a perilous errand for his master, the vampire Count Orlok. He is Orlok’s minion, though, and these actions occur under Orlok’s influence. Is his behaviour witting or is he trapped, and does it matter? Who is Knock? There is no one Knock. He has been analysed as reflecting themes suchas anti-Semitism, madness, occultism, communism, and otherness. This chapter is about making sense of Knock and his community’s madness, and its timeliness in the COVID-19 pandemic society of 2022.
The Deathbird of Disease
Authors: Pugh Catherine
Published: September 2023

The development of the literary vampire is, arguably inextri-cably linked with the history of disease and medicine, utilising the language, imagery, and mythologies of each other in an attempt to explain processes both natural and supernatural. Perhaps surprisingly, an overview of how disease is continually reflected in the vampire inevitably leads back to Orlok in both symbolism and execution. Just‘investigations of vampire outbreaks and belief helped to shape not only knowledge of the body and theories of contagion, but also understanding of the brain and mental faculties’, simultaneously, vampires ‘did not exist until the emerging medical profession and natural philosophers began to try to explain them and they were thus namedand categorized as vampires (Groom 2018: 24). This essay will explore how this dual evolution has continued, with the vampire providing the proxy for several viral diseases and their cultural ideologies. Showing how archaic tomes are increasingly replaced by microscopic images of blood and the language of medicine; mystics and vampire hunters become doctors and scientists.
A Soundtrack of Horror, or The Un-Dead Live in Person
Authors: Wetmore, Kevin J.
Published: September 2023

This essay will focus on the idea of adding ‘liveness’ and the performance aspect found in both stage adaptations and score performance to what is celebrated as being one of the first major horror films. The premiere of the film was a performative event, but thereafter, for the better part of a century, all public exhibitions of Nosferatu included a recorded soundtrack. Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the film began to be shown accompaniedby live music, and two stage adaptations emerged in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. I will first consider the ‘liveness’ aspect of Nosferatu with a live score and then examine the history of the two stage adaptations to see how they transform Nosferatu into a musical drama, both transforming the silent film into a sung drama, and eitherreturning the narrative to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, or adding new and different elements to Murnau’s story. In the case of both adaptations, the major transformation is of the vampire from plague monster and source of horror to a tragic figure worthy of pity who redeems himself when he dies – certainly not a narrative found in Murnau’s film.

Introduction: ‘Come on doc, we’ve got places to go’
Authors: McMurdo Shellie
Published: September 2023

This chapter opens by discussing the critical lack of attention paid to Pet Sematary (Mary Lambert, 1989) in screen horror scholarship and presents this book as a corrective to this critical oversight. This chapter situates the book within horror studies and ties it to both an emerging body of work that centres on the relationship between women and horror and academic accounts that seek to revisit 1980s horror cinema more broadly. While positioning Pet Sematary as a key entry in the Stephen King adaptation corpus, this chapter outlines the aims of the book, provides an overview of the chapters that follow, and puts forward an overarching argument that it is time for reconsideration and canonisation of Pet Sematary. This chapter concludes with a synopsis of Pet Sematary.
Ruptured Lives: Harms, Loss, and Grievances
Authors: Gilmartin Niall , Browne Brendan Ciarán
Published: September 2023

Though there is a growing recognition that refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) have a major stake in the success of transitional justice processes and despite growing calls for a more adequate and nuanced understanding of displacement and its impact on peacebuilding, it is one that has simply not figured prominently in either the literature or the practice of transitional justice. As argued by Megan Bradley (2012), Northern Ireland’s peacebuilding process represents yet another case whereby displaced persons have not been recognised as an important category of victims and survivors, nor have their experiences been acknowledged. There remains an all-pervasive assumption that once re-settled, the sense of injustice, loss and vulnerability among displaced persons has been largely addressed and therefore warrants no further action or consideration. By exploring the marginalised narratives of those displaced, this chapter sheds light on the multi-layered short and long-term harms and consequences of displacement for individuals, families and community relations. By doing so, the chapter maps issues of legacy, harm, and victimhood onto the experiences of forced displacement during the conflict. In considering the narratives of those displaced, we suggest a strong need to broaden understandings of conflict related violence in Northern Ireland to include displacement and its long-term impact on individuals and communities as part of our on-going peacebuilding endeavours.
Introduction
Authors: Lo Yimon
Published: September 2023

This chapter presents an overview of Wordsworth’s vocal and aural preoccupations, and addresses why his musicality, soundscape, and harmony make for a representative aspect of study in the field of Romantic literature. It examines the changing definition and manifestation of music in poetry, as well as the shifting relationship between music and poetry since the late eighteenth century. The chapter defines Wordsworth’s unique expression and manifestation of poetic harmony with reference to the affinity of his poems to musical performativity, perception, and aesthetics.
Breath and Harmony
Authors: Lo Yimon
Published: September 2023

Chapter 2 connects the unifying and ordering capacity of poetry with the fundamental qualities of music to define the idea of harmony inherent in Wordsworth’s theory of the imagination and his representation of the poetic mind. Informed by studies of poetry’s intimate and sustained associations with differing forms of air, I identify the source of Wordsworth’s poetic creation that is central to his concept of wise passiveness and organic sensibility through an examination of the mind’s ability to translate the aesthetic and animated breath of nature into harmony.
“International Psycho-Democracy” and Utopian Artistic Community
Authors: Bozhkova Yasna
Published: September 2023

Chapter 3, titled “‘International Psycho-Democracy’ and Utopian Artistic Community,” takes as its starting point the stark contrast between the highly complex poetic structures of “Songs to Joannes” and the mischievous, tongue-in-cheek, quasi-nonsensical playfulness of Loy’s texts written in New York in 1916–18, as she became involved in the subversive activities of New York Dada. Rather than simply examine the shift from a “Futurist” to a “Dada” phase, I argue that this stylistic shift (the first of many in Loy’s chameleonic style) pinpoints the need for a critical approach made to measure, constantly crisscrossing between close reading and a broader cultural perspective in order to respond to Loy’s embrace of a perpetual change of the aesthetic paradigm that sought to eschew the tendency of avant-garde movements to grow into dogmatic ideologies. I argue that Loy’s encounter with the unpredictable, collaborative, iconoclastic artistic practices of New York Dada, as opposed to the belligerent ideology of the Futurist movement and the dogmatic leader- ship of Marinetti, was particularly fruitful in the gestation of a utopian project of transnational artistic community articulated in her 1918 manifesto “International Psycho-Democracy.”
“Awander”
Authors: Bozhkova Yasna
Published: September 2023

In Chapter 7, titled “‘Awander’: Loy, Pascin, and the Nomadic Self,” I focus on the rarely examined poem “Jules Pascin.” This poem marks a shift away from the cosmic imagery that predominates in the rest of the beacon poems and introduces the theme of cosmopolitanism and intercultural wandering. I show that the poem not only condenses and interweaves multiple allusions to the artist’s biographical trajectory and to his visual art, but also to some degree reads as a self-portrait, since there are a number of parallels between the two artists, to the extent that Loy may have seen him as a twin figure. I also discuss this poem as a possible intertext for the genealogy of Loy’s aesthetic principles outlined in the long poem Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose (1923–25), and particularly for her appropriation of the figure of the Wandering Jew to construct a complex “auto-mythology” revolving around a perpetual geographic, cultural, and aesthetic dislocation.
“Refusees”
Authors: Bozhkova Yasna
Published: September 2023

The final chapter focuses on Loy’s intermedial portraits of the Bowery bums in a series of poems and assemblages crafted using refuse and urban debris, made in New York in the 1940s and 50s. She called these works “Refusees,” punning on “refuse,” “refugees,” and the French nineteenth-century “Salon des Refusés.” These anonymous figures may be read as spectral doubles of the avant-garde artist, “shrunken illuminati” that are dispossessed, marginalized, and plunged into anonymity in a postwar context by the rise of capitalism and consumer culture. I place them in a trajectory in Loy’s late work which also includes Insel, a “luminous clochard” living in dire poverty. Emphasizing the influence of Cornell’s aesthetics on Loy in this period, I argue that the Bowery as the final stop in her transatlantic artistic Baedeker brings to the fore the figure of the artist as a marginalized, anonymous bricoleur or even a ragpicker, working with discarded, ephemeral objects. Loy’s identification with the Bowery bums foreshadows the Beat Generation writers’ fascination with the figure of the bum as a double of the writer, a symbolic figure of rejection of consumer culture, yet her work rejects the optimistic, romantic idealization of this figure.

We present a study of the mass–metallicity relation (MZR) of 51 dwarf galaxies (M
⋆ ≈ 106.5–109.5
M
⊙) at z = 2–3 from the A2744 and SMACS J0723-3732 galaxy cluster fields. These dwarf galaxies are identified and confirmed by deep JWST/NIRISS imaging and slitless grism spectroscopic observations. By taking advantage of the superior performance of JWST and the gravitational lensing effect, we extend the previous MZR relation at z = 2–3 to a much lower-mass regime down by ≈2.5 orders of magnitude as compared with previous studies. We find that the MZR has a shallower slope at the low-mass end (M
⋆ < 109
M
⊙), with a slope turnover point of ≈109
M
⊙. This implies that the dominating feedback processes in dwarf galaxies may be different from that in massive galaxies. From z = 3, to z = 2, the metallicity of the dwarf galaxies is enhanced by ≈0.09 dex for a given stellar mass, consistent with the mild evolution found in galaxies with higher mass. Furthermore, we confirm the existence of a fundamental metallicity relation (FMR) between the gas-phase metallicity, stellar mass, and star formation rate in dwarf galaxies at z = 2–3. Our derived FMR, which has no significant redshift evolution, can be used as a benchmark to understand the origin of the anticorrelation between the star formation rate and metallicity of dwarf galaxies in the high-z Universe.

Published: September 2023

Type III radio bursts are not only the most intense but also the most frequently observed solar radio bursts. However, a number of their defining features remain poorly understood. Observational limitations, such as a lack of sufficient spectral and temporal resolution, have hindered a full comprehension of the emission process, especially in the hectokilometric wavelengths. Of particular difficulty is the ability to detect the harmonics of type III radio bursts. Here we report the first detailed observations of type III fundamental–harmonic pairs in the hectokilometric wavelengths, observed by the Parker Solar Probe. We present a statistical analysis of the spectral characteristics and polarization measurements of the fundamental–harmonic pairs. Additionally, we quantify various characteristics of the fundamental–harmonic pairs, such as the time delay and time profile asymmetry. Our report concludes that fundamental–harmonic pairs constitute a majority of all type III radio bursts observed during close encounters when the probe is in close proximity to the source region and propagation effects are less pronounced.

Patterns of morphological divergence across species’ ranges can provide insight into local adaptation and speciation. In this study, we compared phenotypic divergence among 4,221 crickets from 337 populations of two closely related species of field cricket, Gryllus firmus and G. pennsylvanicus, and their hybrids. We found that these species differ across their geographic range in key morphological traits, such as body size and ovipositor length, and we directly compared phenotype with genotype for a subset of crickets to demonstrate nuclear genetic introgression, phenotypic intermediacy of hybrids, and essentially unidirectional mitochondrial introgression. We discuss how these morphological traits relate to life history differences between the two species. Our comparisons across geographic areas support prior research suggesting that cryptic variation within G. firmus may represent different species. Our study highlights how variable morphology can be across wide-ranging species and the importance of studying reproductive barriers in more than one or two transects of a hybrid zone.
Independent grammar school: Durham: The arrival of low-cost private schooling to a developed nation
Authors: Shah Qasir , Holligan Chris
Published: September 2023

In 2018 James Tooley, and colleagues, launched a no-frills private school – the Independent Grammar School: Durham (IGSD). This offers full-time education for £58 per week per child (2019-20), in contrast to the markedly higher cost per capita in either the state sector
or in established private schools. We question IGSD's affordability and viability. We examine Tooley's educational vision, and his work in the provision of lowcost private schooling in Africa and India to identify IGSD's ontology to understand what no-frills might mean, and how this could
be delivered.
Enhanced Classroom Engagement: Implementation of an Inclusive Teaching Strategy
Authors: Charania Nadia Ali Muhammad Ali
Published: September 2023

Background:

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic posed challenges to nursing faculties, including transitioning to a virtual teaching platform and ensuring inclusivity, active engagement, and social justice, which are the hallmarks of excellence in nursing education. A three-step teaching strategy called enhanced classroom engagement (ECE-TS) was created.

Method:

The first step in ECE-TS required groups of students to read the assigned article and share five takeaways before class. The second step required each group to discuss and prepare a presentation using a rubric. The final step required each group to give a presentation to the class.

Results:

Students noted ECE-TS promoted (a) individual learning; (b) collective learning; (c) inclusivity; (d) connection among students; (e) change in the classroom environment; and (f) generated proposals for future directions related to ECE-TS.

Conclusion:

ECE-TS, which is a promising strategy that promotes social justice, must be tested across teaching formats and programs.

Published: September 2023

We are devoted to the physical analysis of the habitat area of warm-blooded organisms – humans and many mammals. For this purpose, the establishment of equilibrium distribution of carbon dioxide in aqueous solutions of salts in contact with atmospheric air starting from some time is investigated. More precisely, the relaxation time of carbon dioxide, as a function of temperature and pH, is investigated. It is found that the pH-relaxation time τS is a very nontrivial function of temperature, pH values, and NaCl salt concentration. It was assumed that the minimum value of pH relaxation time corresponds to the optimal rate of physical processes in living matter. Using this selection principle and our experimental data, we have shown that the optimal temperature for human and mammalian life activity is close to To ≈ 37 °C. The lower and upper temperature limits for their possible activity are close to Tl ≈ 30 °C and Tu ≈ 42 °C, respectively. The optimal value of pHo, determined by the same selection principle, also becomes true if supplemented by the influence of albumin and other proteins.
Design of a virtual simulation interaction system based on enhanced reality
Authors: Li Juan , Sun Geng
Published: September 2023

Traditional virtual simulated interaction systems experience data fragmentation during the process of converting from two-dimensional to three-dimensional information, resulting in reduced realism and an inability to meet the teaching requirements of computer courses. Therefore, the integration of augmented reality (AR) technology into the educational environment remains an urgent and unresolved issue. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper investigates the data throughput limitations present in virtual simulation interaction systems. In response to this problem, an application solution utilizing AR technology is proposed, specifically a design concept for a virtual simulation interactive system tailored to computer-related courses. This system achieves its objectives through the collaborative interaction of AR hardware and supplementary software algorithms. The AR hardware is subdivided into framework design and functional hardware design, while the software components encompass AR models, virtual interaction models, and fusion methods. Through testing and comparison of the data throughput of this system with two other virtual simulation interaction systems, it was found that the virtual simulation interactive system optimized using AR technology can effectively enhance data throughput and address the issue of reduced realism in virtual interaction scenes caused by data fragmentation. This design system provides a more realistic and efficient mode of interaction for teaching computer-related courses.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the attitudes and competencies of biology teacher candidates regarding virtual reality applications based on scientific and methodological developments for the improvement of the visualization system in biology. In this study, the survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample group of the research consists of 244 biology teacher candidates studying at various universities in Kazakhstan in the 2022–2023 academic year. Research data were collected with a virtual reality attitude and competence scale developed by the researchers. After exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and construct validity studies were carried out, reliability analyses of the scale were made to get the final form of the scale, and Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient was calculated. As a result of the research, it was determined that the attitudes of pre-service biology teachers towards virtual reality were high and their competencies related to virtual reality were low. This suggests that biology teacher candidates have a medium level of attitude and competence in the virtual reality attitude and competence scale. In line with the findings obtained from the research, suggestions were made to improve the virtual reality attitudes and competencies of teacher candidates.
