Authors: Aby Rose Varghese  , Angeline Prasanna G
Published: August 2022

Nowadays, certain crimes occur within a society, and criminality is increasing on a daily basis. There
has also been a significant increase in criminal activity. Society has been negatively impacted by
crime. Controlling crime is essential for government support, social stability, and growth. Regulation
implementation organizations are searching for a framework that will allow them to successfully
objective crime structure. The intelligent crime data analysis provides sufficient knowledge about the
elements of illegal activities, running through examples of criminal behavior while aiming to be
advantageous in catching where, when running through examples of criminal behavior while aiming
to be advantageous in and why infractions may occur.It is in need of data storage, analysis, and
algorithm which can manage a large amount of data and produce high accuracy. This paper
summarizes the many machine learning approaches utilized during criminal analysis that should be
eliminated in order to achieve the best result.

Augmented reality (AR) which is defined as that “the real time use of information in the form of
graphics, text, audio, or other virtual enhancements integrated with real world objects”. Augmented
reality involves auditory, overlaying visual or other sensory information onto the world in order to
enhance one’s experiment.AR works on to by adding the digital contents onto a live camera feed,
making that digital content looks as if it is part of the physical world around as. The applications
which are used in AR is Healthcare, Education, Retail ,Military, Industrial and manufacturing,
Engineering, Marketing and advertising etc.
Virtual reality (VR) which is defined as that a computer generation simulation in which a person can
interact with in an artificial 3-D environment using electronic devices such as special goggles with a
screen or gloves fitted with sensors. The Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML) allows the
creator to specify images and the rules for their display and interactions using textual language
statements. The applications which are used in VR is Military, Sports, Fashion, Medical training,
Education etc.

The development of Geographic thinking and teaching through investigation: process of (re)signification in Geography teaching
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the relationship between the development of geographic thinking and the didactic approach to teaching by investigation, and its possible contribution to Geography teaching. We understand that this approach has driving elements for teaching in a contextualized and enriching way, enabling the development of students’ geographic thinking. This is qualitative bibliographic research. Data were obtained through searches in Brazilian databases, such as CAPES periodicals, SciELO, Thesis and Dissertations Catalog - CAPES, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations - BDTD, and an international database, such as Education Resources Information Center - ERIC. The research results show that there is a lack of papers that discuss the relationship between the geography teaching and the didactic approach to teaching by investigation. We expect that this work will contribute to the improvement of Geography teaching-learning process, an investigative teaching of Geography, in a way that students have better conditions to carry out analysis of facts and phenomena that occur in geographic space and, thus, be able to think by Geography.

Saint Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich and the Bitola Theological Seminary
Authors: Kokotović Budimir
Published: August 2022

Abstract: The foundation of the Bitola Seminary was to a great extent possible due to efforts of Bishop Josif Cvijović (1878–1957), so its fate was tied to him. The idea to open a seminary arose shortly after his enthronement, in the summer of 1921. The seminary was built in very difficult conditions because Bitola, as a border town on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, was largely destroyed and devastated. On the other hand, there was a lack of material resources because opening this new school was not foreseen in the state budget. Bishop Josif, in his efforts to open a seminary, was extremely supported by the then Bishop Nicholai of Ohrid.
Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich (1881–1956) has supported the Bitola Theological Seminary since the efforts to establish this seminary in 1921. In order to enable the opening of the Bitola Theological Seminary, the collecting of contributions in money and things for the basic needs of the school and boarding school has begun in 1921. The American Commission to Serbia (Commissioner Dr. Rudolph Rex Reeder (1859–1934)) was the first to send abundant aid, thanks to Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich who interceded with the scientist Mihajlo Pupin (1854–1935) on this issue. As the diocesan bishop of the Diocese of Ohrid and Bitola, Bishop Nicholai took special care of the Seminary of St. John the Theologian in Bitola in the period from 1932 until 1938, when he moved to the Diocese of Žiča.
Key words: Bitola Theological Seminary, Diocese of Ohrid and Bitola, Bishop Nicholai Velimirovich (1881–1956), Bishop Josif Cvijović (1878–1957), Bishop John [Maximovitch] of Shanghai (1896–1966).

Published: August 2022

Los parámetros eléctricos (conductividad y potencial Z) son medidas de la magnitud de repulsión–atracción entre partículas, por lo que, son fundamentales para la estabilidad de sistemas electroactivos, esta propiedad está ligada a los fenómenos de dispersión, floculación o agregación de especies. Debido a esto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el efecto, a diferentes concentraciones de distintos tensoactivos, en el potencial Z y la conductividad de sistemas suelo–tensoactivo. Los resultados obtenidos para un suelo que fue modificado con un tensoactivo no-iónico, mostraron valores de potencial Z entre los -2.46 mV y -6.44 mV con una tendencia a decrecer en función del incremento de la concentración del tensoactivo, esto permite preservar las propiedades conductivas normales del suelo (negatividad). El comportamiento de los tensoactivos aniónico y catiónico es similar, con valores de potencial Z entre los -3.65 mV a -4.55 mV para el aniónico y 5.16 mV a 8.79 mV para el catiónico, esto asociado a la naturaleza de cada tensoactivo (carga efectiva). En cuanto a la conductividad, los tres tensoactivos mostraron ser más conductivos con el incremento del valor del parámetro en función de la concentración de estos en el suelo.
Government Intervention and Investment Efficiency: Empirical Evidence from Vietnam
Authors:   Lecturer, International University, Vietnam National University HCM city, Vietnam., CAO Minh-Man
Published: August 2022

The government ownership's impact on the investment efficiency of enterprises in the transitional market – Vietnam – was studied using the model of Tobin's Q, which measures the interaction between investment spending and the opportunities for investing as a scale. The study exercises the method of the linear regressions based on OLS model with a sample of 251 companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019. The empirical results indicate that there is no relationship between firm investment spending and investment opportunities in state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Furthermore, in non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs), this relationship exists at a positively minimal level. In addition, the results also show the negative relationship between leverage and firm's investment spending in Vietnam. Separately, there is a negative association between net operating cash flow and investment expenditure for SOEs while there is a negative link between firm's size and funds for investing in non-SOEs.
Belediye meclislerinde nicel varlıktan nitel varlığa: İhtisas komisyonlarında kadın üyeler
Authors: Emini Kurtuluş Filiz Tufan , Ayaz Çağlar Eren
Published: August 2022

Kentsel yönetimin en önemli aktörü olan belediyelerin temel karar organı, belediye meclisleridir. Belediye meclislerindeki kadın üye oranı, kadınların yerel siyasi kararların alınmasındaki rolü açısından önem taşımakta ve toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin bir göstergesi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu gösterge, Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından da özel olarak ele alınmış ve 2015 yılında belirlenen “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları” arasında “Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitliği” amacına yer verilmiş, yerel meclislerdeki kadınların sandalye oranı, bu amacın alt hedefleri arasında yer almıştır. Yerel meclislerdeki kadın üye oranı, yerel kararların alınmasında kadınların katkı düzeyini tespit etmek açısından önemli bir gösterge olmakla birlikte, bu katkının niteliğini açıklamamaktadır. Belediye meclislerinde görüşülerek karara bağlanacak olan konular, öncelikle ilgisine göre ihtisas komisyonlarında görüşülerek meclis gündemine alınmaktadır. İhtisas komisyonları, kendilerine havale edilen konularda görüşmeler yaparak meclise rapor sunmakta, bu bakımdan meclis gündemi ve meclis kararları üzerinde bir etkiye sahip olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla yerel kararların alınmasında kadınların rolü değerlendirilirken, yalnızca meclislerdeki sandalye sayısı değil, komisyonlara katılım düzeyleri de incelenmelidir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, belediye meclisleri bünyesinde oluşturulan ihtisas komisyonlarındaki kadın üyelerin sayısını ve oranını konu edinmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında, İstatistiki Bölge Birimleri Düzey 2’de yer alan il ve büyükşehir belediye meclislerinde, kurulması kanunen zorunlu olan ihtisas komisyonlarında yer alan kadın üyelerin sayısı ve oranı tespit edilecektir. Çalışma sonucunda, kadınların yerel kararlara katılım oranının yanı sıra, bu katılımlarının niteliğinin de ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.
el De Bolívar a Montalvo, paralelismos pragmalingüísticos entre “La carta de Jamaica” y “La Carta a García Moreno”
Authors: Pricila Rodríguez Imelda
Published: August 2022

En este artículo se pretende justificar un análisis pragmalingüístico de dos cartas importantes en la historia de Sudamérica y de Ecuador: La Carta de Jamaica, escrita en 1815 por Simón Bolívar, y La Carta de Juan Montalvo a Gabriel García Moreno, (GGM, en adelante), escrita en 1860. La pragmalingüística se rige por los factores extralingüísticos que condicionan el uso del lenguaje, esto es, todos aquellos factores a los que no se hace referencia en un estudio puramente formal. Por factores extralingüísticos, entiéndase el contexto histórico y las circunstancias individuales que rodean a los autores de ambos documentos. Asimismo, se intentará ilustrar similitudes discursivas entre ambos documentos. Si bien se puede considerar que son cartas con intenciones distintas, se tratará de encontrar paralelismos tanto en lo ilocutivo como en lo perlocutivo, pues ambas misivas constituyen actos de habla valiosísimos.

Americanismo, paisaje y mestizaje en la obra ensayística de la escritora-poeta chilena Gabriela Mistral.
Authors: Rodríguez Colón Jeanette
Published: August 2022

Los ensayos de Mistral se destacan por presentar una preocupación americanista y por incorporar la imagen del indio. Se estudiarán las figuras que inspiraron la preocupación americanista en Gabriela Mistral; asimismo, cómo visualizaba a José Martí y a Simón Bolívar en sus ensayos. Se analizarán el americanismo, el paisaje, el mestizaje y el indio en la obra en prosa de esta importante escritora. Estudiaremos dos textos de Mistral; el primero es una conferencia titulada: “La lengua de Martí”, y el segundo es un artículo que apareció publicado en la revista Puerto Rico Ilustrado, este se titula: “La ambición de Bolívar”. Además, se analizarán dos ejemplos de ensayos que Mistral escribió cuando visitó la isla de Puerto Rico. Se investigará de qué forma Mistral se expresa acerca de dos personalidades importantes en el mundo literario e histórico; asimismo, los ecos de estos dos hombres en la obra literaria de la escritora chilena. El enfoque de la investigación es comprobar la fuerte presencia ideológica de José Martí y Simón Bolívar que Mistral representa en sus ensayos. Asimismo, hacer énfasis en dos ensayos de gran valor en los que la escritora chilena presenta una visión particular de la Isla de Puerto Rico. Utilizaremos un método en el que se insertarán artículos, conferencias publicadas en periódicos y expuestas por Mistral. Se dará énfasis a la crítica literaria de estudiosos de la poeta de origen chileno. En conclusión, se afirma la fuerte influencia literaria e ideológica que Mistal expone en sus ensayos, conferencias y artículos dirigidos a las figuras de Bolívar y Martí. Existe admiración y respeto por estos dos hombres que transformaron el americanismo, el mestizaje y el paisaje que Mistral también defiende en sus escritos.

Authors: Mangi Fayaz Hussain , Shaikh Tanweer Ahmed , Qureshi Jawaid Naeem , Ujjan Ikram Din , Syed Binafsha Manzoor , Admin
Published: August 2022

Objective: To evaluate the pattern of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes in colorectal cancers, and to correlate them with nuclear protein Ki67, vascular endothelial growth factor and clinical outcome.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted at the Nuclear Institute of Medicine and Radiotherapy and the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro, Pakistan, and comprised data of colorectal cancer patients from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2018. Whole tumour sections of colorectal cancer were used with hematoxylin and eosin staining, Histological type, grade and infiltrated lymphocytes within the tumour block were assessed.  Ki67 and vascular endothelial growth factor were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, while the staining of these biomarkers was assessed by the percentage of cells stained. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 201 patients, 110(54.7%) were males and 91(45.3%) were females. Overall median age was 43 years (range 10-85 years). Majority of the tumours 132(65.7%) showed mild to moderate tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, 30(14.9%) had severe tumour infiltrating lymphocytes, while 39(19.4%) did not show any infiltrating lymphocytes. Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes did not show significant association with the histological grade (p>0.05), but high tumour infiltrating lymphocytes were associated with poor survival without being significantly associated with Ki67 pattern and vascular endothelial growth factor (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Majority of colorectal cancer cases showed varying levels of lymphocyte infilteration, and tumour infiltrating lymphocytes were associated with poor survival, without having significant association with Ki67 pattern and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Selection of medical students requires both cognitive and soft skills assessment. Shalamar Medical and Dental College (SMDC) has been using on-campus multiple mini interviews to assess the latter but due to Covid-19 pandemic it became imperative that an alternative be found. The aim of this communication is to share the process SMDC went through to plan, design, and ultimately conduct WhatsApp-based multiple mini interviews (wMMI) in a low risk method as an entry criteria for undergraduate medical students. The process involved designing scenarios appropriate for online interviews, training the faculty members regarding conducting MMI as well as the use of technology, and designing an online webpage for enrolling, scheduling and assessing candidates. We were able to successfully complete wMMI process for 522 candidates within one week in a low risk setting using WhatsApp as communication medium with strong IT and administrative support.

Lumpy Skin Disease – A Potential Downfall of National Economy
Authors: Ume Habiba  , Radeyah Waseem  , Muhammad Sheheryar Hussain  , Admin
Published: August 2022

Madam, the Lumpy Skin Disease, initially endemic in Africa and widely spreading to encompass the Middle East and other regions, finally has Pakistan in its grasp. It has emerged in Sindh and South Punjab, wreaking havoc in Sindh and infecting more than 20,250 animals, with more than 50 deaths being reported [1]. Internationally, the Southern, Eastern, and Southeastern countries faced economic losses as high as USD 1.45 billion due to this disease [2]. Its long-lasting and deplorable impact on the economy has been considered a prominent infection of livestock by The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). Despite low associated mortality of 10%, it has a consequential worldwide morbidity rate of about 5-45% [3].
Transmitted by an arthropod vector, LSD is a vector-borne viral disease, which largely targets cattle including water buffaloes. The virus is shed in body secretions involving the infected animal's tears, saliva, semen, and milk [4]. The disease is characterized by a high grade, persistent fever, multiple skin nodules, lymphadenitis, a decline in milk yield, orchitis, and abortion. The economic implications encountered by farmers in the afflicted areas include low milk yield, poor skin and hide quality, and consistent degenerative thinness of animals. Although the entire cattle industry suffers from economic losses, small-scale farmers endure the greatest loss.
Despite the low animal-to-human transmission, probability, the high economic losses incurred require drastic steps to prevent the further spread of the disease among cattle. Mass awareness programs among farmers should be promptly implemented, and vaccination drives should be promptly scheduled. Insect repellents and vector traps should be made available on a large scale. Steps must be taken to properly set isolation areas following the standard health protocols for infected livestock. Complications caused by the disease can be effectively treated by the usage of antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory medications, supportive therapy, and antiseptic solutions. Severely infected animals should be culled in a remote area following international standards. Highly effective clinical surveillance is required for timely detection and isolation of a suspected case [5]. Although there is no documented proof of transmission to humans, consumers should preferably avoid dairy products and meat before complete eradication of the disease. We humbly request the concerned health department take timely measures before an unprecedented loss is incurred and promote the national production of vaccination that is easily obtainable by farmers of all economic backgrounds.
Pneumoperitoneum: A rare life threatening complication post ERCP!
Authors: Iqbal Arham , Anis Muhammad Wajeeh , Younus Mohammad Ijlal , Admin
Published: August 2022

Respected Editor,
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an invasive medical procedure commonly used to identify and treat biliary system and pancreatic disorders. It is the combination of both endoscopic and radiologic imaging techniques that, although widely used, and usually a safe procedure, it can rarely lead to life threatening complications including but not limited to pancreatitis, cholangitis, hemorrhage and perforation leading to pneumoperitoneum.
The occurrence of free air in the peritoneal cavity post-ERCP is a rare event (< 1%), which is usually the result of duodenal or ductal perforation related to therapeutic ERCP with sphincterotomy.[1] Our discussion is based on the incidence of pneumoperitoneum occurring in patients post ERCP.
According to a case report, a 29- year- old female was diagnosed with postpartum jaundice and biliary stones. Consequently, she was investigated using ERCP and treated with biliary stenting and bile flow restoration. Post ERCP, the patient developed severe epigastric pain radiating to the right shoulder and x-ray revealed air under the diaphragm, i.e. pneumoperitoneum.[2] In another report, a 72 year old woman who underwent ERCP to treat biliary stricture and provide stenting was found to have pneumobilia and pneumoperitoneum due to rupture of intrahepatic bile ducts during ERCP.[3] Another case has been reported with the same
issue in which an 84 year old known case of pancreatic carcinoma with hepatic and lung metastasis underwent multiple ERCPs due to obstructive jaundice, performed an urgent CT scan, the very next day, which showed the presence of free air in the peritoneal cavity.[4]
Therefore, in light of the cases mentioned above-, physicians should be mindful of this rare, life- threatening complication of ERCP and take great care and warn the patient before performing the procedure. A useful strategy to combat this complication, a nasogastric tube for bowel decompression immediately after ERCP can greatly reduce the chances of developing a pneumoperitoneum.

Evaluating the Effects of Dried Orange and Lemon Peelon Growth Performance and Meat Quality of Broilers
Authors: Ahmed ST
Published: August 2022

The study’s goal was to assess the effects of dietary inclusion of dried orange peel (DOP) and dried lemon peel (DLP) on broiler growth performance and meat quality. Five dietary treatments namely basal diet (control); basal diet plus 0.5% DOP; basal diet plus 0.5% DLP; basal diet plus 1.0% DOP and basal diet plus 1.0% DLP were given to 200 one-day-old broiler chicks for 35 days. The results showed that dietary supplementation with 0.5% DLP, 1.0% DOP, and 1.0% DLP significantly increased broiler body weight gain and feed conversion ratio in comparison to the control and 0.5% DOP supplemented groups (P<0.05). The dressing percentage in all supplemented groups was significantly greater, while proportion of breast meat was higher in the 0.5% DLP, 1.0% DOP, and 1.0% DLP supplemented groups (P<0.05). The relative weight of the spleen was significantly higher and that of abdominal fat was lower in the 0.5% and 1.0% DLP supplemented groups (P<0.05). The control group had the highest net profit per broiler followed by the 1.0 % DLP supplemented group. As a conclusion, DOP and DLP can be employed as possible feed additives in broiler diet at a concentration of up to 1% to improve broiler growth performance, meat yield without affecting the profitability.
Filosofia sincrítica e poesia em Friedrich Von Hardenberg [Novalis]; Syncritic philosophy and poetry in Friedrich Von Hardenberg [Novalis]
Authors: Assumpção Gabriel Almeida
Published: August 2022

Investigamos, no pensamento de Friedrich von Hardenberg (Novalis), como a poesia e filosofia se nutrem uma da outra, sendo a filosofia fonte de conceitos que permitem investigar o dinamismo do mundo natural e integrar os diversos saberes na enciclopédia e a poesia, a capacidade de atingir saberes intuitivos, superando os limites da filosofia. A poesia como capacidade de superar a oposição sujeito-objeto se desdobra na possibilidade de uma concepção não-dualista, neoplatônica de Deus, e na integração entre idealismo e realismo, via filosofia sincrítica, isto é, uma filosofia que aprendeu com a poesia. Também essa forma de arte se nutre da filosofia, para ser completa. Destacamos como Novalis já apresenta muitas intuições que serão encontradas no idealismo alemão: a importância da filosofia da natureza; a identidade entre sujeito e objeto; Deus como razão, ou absoluto; a superioridade da arte em relação à filosofia (como faz Schelling no Sistema do idealismo transcendental); a crítica à filosofia como sistema do Schelling tardio.
Abstract
We investigate, in Friedrich von Hardenberg’s thought, how Philosophy and poetry nourish one another. Philosophy is a source of concepts that enable the investigation of the natural world and its dynamic character, integrating many sources of knowledge in the encyclopedia. Poetry, on the other hand, reaches intuitive forms of knowledge, inaccessible to Philosophy alone. Poetry as a capacity of overcoming the subject-object opposition unfolds in the possibility of a nondualistic, Neoplatonic conception of God, and also in the integration between idealism and realism, by means of the syncritic Philosophy, i.e., a philosophy that has learnt from poetry. Poetry, on the other hand, can only become complete by means of philosophy. We emphasize how Novalis presents many insights that will be met in German Idealism: the importance of the philosophy of nature; the identity between subject and object; God as reason; art conceived as superior to philosophy (Schelling in the System of Transcendental Idealism); late Schelling’ criticism of philosophy as a system.
Distribution of Proboscis Monkeys (Nasalis Larvatus Wurmb, 1787) in Forest Fragmentation Area, Tunan River, Waru District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Lariman  , Muchlas Barru Abinda , Rukmi Dijan Sunar
Published: August 2022

The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus Wurmb, 1787) is an endemic primate of the island of Borneo that is protected and threatened with extinction. Deforestation is the biggest threat to proboscis monkeys because it destroys the ideal habitat for proboscis monkeys. The proboscis monkey’s habitat includes various types of forest such as wetland forest, peat forest, heath forest, rubber forest, and mangrove forest associated with water. The Tunan River is one of the proboscis monkey’s habitats outside the conservation area in the form of a forest that is fragmented apart by roads, residential areas, plantations, and ponds. Meanwhile, the spread of proboscis monkeys in the Tunan river forest fragmentation area, Waru District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan has never been reported so that a study is needed to determine its distribution. This research was started from January to February 2022. The data was collected using the boat survey method, namely observation by using a boat. The results obtained were twenty-four proboscis monkey distribution points based on direct observation. The distribution pattern of proboscis monkeys tends to be random in the fragmentation area and is found more in the upstream than downstream areas due to habitat conditions and the presence of forage trees that support the proboscis monkey population. Therefore, to preserve the proboscis monkey, it is necessary to provide information to the surrounding community by protecting the proboscis monkey habitat
A Novel Approach to Model the Economic Characteristics of an Organization by Interval-Valued Complex Pythagorean Fuzzy Information
Authors: Yazbek Hawraa Akram , Surriya Fatima , Khan Sami Ullah , Jan Naeem , Marinkovic Dragan
Published: August 2022

The success of a nation mainly depends on its economic power. The economic growth plays an important place in enhancing the caliber of life as it produces job opportunities. In this research, the effect of uncertainty on economic growth and investments is examined with gross domestic product (GDP). Currently, the relationship between financial market and economic growth is one of the most important issues in economics. These departments are often accompanied by uncertainty. Through that regard, the idea of interval-valued complex Pythagorean fuzzy relation (IVCPFR) is introduced that is handy in such situations. Moreover, the Cartesian product between interval-valued complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets and verities of IVCPFRs was described. Furthermore, these IVCPFRs are applied to analyze GDP, unemployment, price, demand, supply, interest rate, investment, and money supply effecting business markets. The possibility of the Hasse diagram is more suitable to make sense of the relationship between various economic factors. IVCPFRs will clearly help to set up the impact of one component on the other and change the grades of supportive and distinctive outcomes concerning the time. IVCPFR is used for tracking various multidimensional issues and produces quick and better outcomes rather than the previous methodologies. Finally, the proposed method is the best method to model uncertainty in economics rather than previous methods.

The study set out to investigate the effects of using manipulatives in teaching and learning of algebraic expressions on Senior High School one students’ achievement in the Wa Municipality. The purpose was to find out what type of manipulative isbeing used to teach algebraic expressions and its effects on the achievements of students in Senior High Schools. In all, 10 mathematics teachers were randomly sampled from all the senior high schools in the Wa Municipality while eighty students were also selected from the same schools for the study. The research design used for the study was a survey and the instruments used for collecting the data on the study were achievement test and questionnaire. An ANOVA test conducted revealed that there was a significant difference in achievement between students taught algebraic expressions using manipulatives and those taught without using manipulatives. The study also found that students were very active and in high spirit to learn mathematics when manipulatives were used. The study further found that students taught algebraic expressions with the use of manipulatives achieved higher than those taught without the use of manipulative. The study concludes that teachers should always use manipulatives to teach concepts in mathematics since it is pupils friendly, activity oriented, arouses students’ interest and facilitates higher understanding that results in higher achievement.

Na trajetória de um profissional, dois saberes se tornam latentes por sua essencialidade: ler e escrever. A leitura e a escrita permitem apreender conhecimentos, promover aprendizagens, descrever ideias e sentimentos, elaborar uma reflexão sobre os processos de aprendizagem, ressignificando o que aprendeu. A proposta dos autores com esta coletânea é um exercício privilegiado para a compreensão do processo de formação pessoal e profissional de pedagogas permitindo-as reconhecer a percepção crítica das possibilidades, limites, implicações e compromissos. Considerando que desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional são processos inter-relacionados, esta obra proporcionará aos nossos leitores de forma geral, uma reflexão potencializadora do conhecimento de si e do outro, da própria vida, formação e trabalho.
Influence of Gender Equality in the Management Committee on Community-Led Monitoring of Borehole Water Projects
Authors: Joseph Kimathi , Mwangi Judy
Published: August 2022

In recent years, governments and development practitioners have emphasized the involvement of all stakeholders, especially the intended beneficiaries in the project cycle to accelerate the achievement of development objectives and sustain the realized gains. Various approaches are being used to intensify the involvement of people in the planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of community-driven development interventions. In Kenya, County governments are constitutionally mandated to promote the participation of the people in development and governance at the local level. Since their inception, the County governments have been putting in place local governance structures and avenues for members of the community to participate in development projects and programs. In Kenya, these participatory local governance structures and avenues have not been widely studied. The study assessed the influence of gender equality in the management committee on community-led monitoring of borehole water projects. The study was based on the theory of participation which attributes the success of engagement between project stakeholders to four favorable factors: context, design, power, and scale of the engagement. A case study research design was used. The study population comprised the household heads, borehole water project management committee members, and officials of the County government of Meru County, as key informants. Interview schedules and a questionnaire were used to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. Systematic random sampling was used to select 38 household heads. All the 12 members of the Mbeu cattle dip community borehole management committee, one Mbeu Ward administration official, and 10 officials of the Directorate of Monitoring and Evaluation in Meru County formed part of the study sample. The study showed that superficially, there is no gender-based discrimination in community-led monitoring of borehole water projects. The study showed that County Government of Meru policies meant to promote gender equality are not well cascaded or implemented at the local level. The study concluded that the management committee is pivotal in community-led monitoring of borehole water projects and broadly, implementation of community-led development initiatives. The study recommends that authorities ought to educate members of the community about patterns of gender-based discrimination.

Abstract. The current improvements in aerosol mass spectrometers in
resolution and sensitivity, and the analytical tools for mass spectra
deconvolution, have enabled the in-depth analysis of ambient organic aerosol (OA) properties. Although OA constitutes a major fraction of ambient aerosol, its properties are determined to a great extent by the mixing characteristics of both organic and inorganic components of ambient aerosol. This work applies a new methodology to a year-long ACSM dataset to assess the sources of organic and total non-refractory species in the Athens background aerosol and provides insights into the interactions between organic and inorganic species. The use of innovative tools for applying positive matrix factorization (PMF, rolling window) enables the study of the temporal variability of the contribution of these sources and seasonal changes in their composition. The mass spectra of both organic and inorganic aerosol were obtained by a time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (ToF-ACSM) for PMF
analysis. The results revealed five factors when organic aerosol was
analysed separately. Three of them were primary OA factors:
hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol (HOA), cooking-related organic aerosol (COA) and biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA). The remaining two were secondary, less and more oxidized oxygenated
organic aerosol (LO-OOA and MO-OOA respectively). The relative
contributions of these factors were HOA 15 %, COA 18 %, BBOA 9 %, MO-OOA 34 % and LO-OOA 24 % (yearly averaged). When a combined organic
and inorganic aerosol matrix was analysed, two additional factors were
identified that were mainly composed of ammonium sulfate (83.5 %) and
ammonium nitrate (73 %). Moreover, two secondary factors were resolved,
containing both organics and inorganics and were named more (MOA) and
less oxidized aerosol (LOA). The relative contributions on a yearly average of these factors were HOA 7 %, COA 9 %, BBOA 3 %, ammonium nitrate
3 %, ammonium sulfate 28 %, MOA 24 % and LOA 26 %.
Tomsquarryite, NaMgAl3(PO4)2(OH)6 ● 8H2O, a new crandallite-derivative mineral from Tom's phosphate quarry, Kapunda, South Australia

Abstract. Tomsquarryite, NaMgAl3(PO4)2(OH)6 ⚫ 8H2O,
is a new secondary phosphate mineral from Tom's phosphate quarry, Kapunda,
South Australia. It occurs as colourless, talc-like hexagonal platelets,
with diameters of a few tens of micrometres when formed from the
decomposition of minyulite and as thicker (∼ 10 µm)
hexagonal crystals when formed from alteration of gordonite. Associated
minerals are penriceite, elliottite, minyulite, angastonite and wavellite.
The calculated density is 2.22 g cm−3. Tomsquarryite crystals are
uniaxial (+) with ω=1.490(3), ε=1.497(3)
(white light). Dispersion was not observed. The partial orientation is Z≈c. Electron microprobe analyses of the holotype specimen give the
empirical formula
Na1.02K0.02Ca0.08Mg1.26Al2.86(PO4)2.00(OH)3.82F2.48 ⚫ 7.70H2O, based on 22 anions. Tomsquarryite belongs to the trigonal
crystal system, space group R–3m, with hexagonal unit-cell parameters a=6.9865(5) Å, c=30.634(3) Å and V=1294.9(4) Å3 and with
Z=3. The crystal structure was refined using single-crystal diffraction
data; R1=0.069 for 303 reflections with I>2σ(I) to a
resolution of 0.80 Å. The crystal structure is a derivative of the
crandallite structure, with Ca2+ cations replaced by hydrated magnesium
ions, [Mg(H2O)6]2+, resulting in an expansion of the
interlayer separation from 5.4 Å in crandallite to 10.2 Å in
tomsquarryite. The results for tomsquarryite are compared with those for the
chemically and structurally related minerals penriceite and elliottite.

Abstract. While El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
teleconnection has long been used in statistical precipitation forecasting,
global climate models (GCMs) provide increasingly available dynamical
precipitation forecasts for hydrological modeling and water resources management. It is not yet known to what extent dynamical GCM forecasts
provide new information compared to statistical teleconnection. This paper
develops a novel set operations of coefficients of determination (SOCD) method to explicitly quantify the overlapping and differing information for
GCM forecasts and ENSO teleconnection. Specifically, the intersection
operation of the coefficient of determination derives the overlapping
information for GCM forecasts and the Niño3.4 index, and then the difference operation determines the differing information in GCM forecasts (Niño3.4 index) from the Niño3.4 index (GCM forecasts). A case study is devised for the Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) seasonal forecasts of global
precipitation in December–January–February. The results show that the
overlapping information for GCM forecasts and the Niño3.4 index is significant for 34.94 % of the global land grid cells, that the differing information in GCM forecasts from the Niño3.4 index is significant for 31.18 % of the grid cells and that the differing information in the Niño3.4 index from GCM forecasts is significant for 11.37 % of the grid cells. These results confirm the effectiveness of GCMs in capturing the ENSO-related variability
of global precipitation and illustrate where there is room for improvement of GCM forecasts. Furthermore, the bootstrapping significance tests of the three types of information facilitate in total eight patterns to disentangle the
close but divergent associations of GCM forecast correlation skill with ENSO teleconnection.
Sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM) Practices for Boosting the Worker Productivity in Tea Plantations in Sri Lanka: Validation of a New HRM Model
Authors: Gamage Anuruddha , Wickramaratne Widana Pathiranage Richard
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this research was to identify Sustainable Human Resource Management Practices (SHRMPs) which enhance worker productivity and to validate a Human Resource Management (HRM) model, derived by the authors in previous qualitative studies. The study surveyed 850 randomly selected employees from sixty tea estates in Sri Lanka. Data analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling derived a sustainable HRM model which includes knowledge management and human care practices as the determinants of worker productivity, while Quality of life and Work-life practices mediated the relationship. As a unique finding, knowledge sustainability (KS) identified as a new construct impacted positively on worker productivity. Theoretical and policy implications are also discussed.
