Locating Latanya: The Situated Production of Identity Artifacts in Classroom Interaction
Authors: Leander Kevin M.
Published: March 2024

While social constructivist interpretations have advanced a relational, multiple, and fluid conception of identity, one difficult problem involves understanding how identities are stabilized during the course of interaction. This article argues that interactants define and stabilize identity by producing identity artifacts with multimodal means, by constructing configurations of those artifacts, and by using those artifacts to project social space.

Where Is the Story?: Intertextual Reflections on Literacy Research and Practices in the Early School Years
Authors: Harris Pauline , Trezise Jillian , Winser W. N.
Published: March 2024

The authors gave the following talk at the 2003 NCTE Annual Convention in San Francisco upon receiving the Alan C. Purves Award, presented to the RTE article from the previous year’s volume judged most likely to have an impact on classroom practice. Writing as lead author, Pauline Harris traces the history of her interest in children’s intertextuality through her life as a classroom teacher, her doctoral studies in the Bay Area, and her recent work with colleagues Jillian Trezise and W. N. Winser in Australia. As they describe the impetus behind their award-winning article and suggest directions for future research, the authors challenge classroom teachers to understand children’s intertextuality as a source of pleasure and complexity, and as a guide to appropriate and engaging instruction.

El Libro de Recuerdos (Book of Memories): A Latina Student’s Exploration of Self and Religion in Public School
Authors: Reyes Cynthia C.
Published: March 2024

This article is an exploration of how an alternative text reflects the multiple identities of one high school Latina, focusing in particular on her religious identity. In this ethnographic case study, the author addresses three questions: 1) In what ways does literacy activity inside the school, in the form of the science scrapbook, allow for this student to construct her religious self inside as well as outside of school? 2) How is one student’s science club scrapbook a symbolic representation of the struggle between the spiritual and material worlds that she negotiates? and 3) How does this scrapbook challenge traditional notions of identity and highlight the complexity of presenting a religious self in the public domain? In describing one student’s engagement with religion via her scrapbook, the article argues for a more complex and nuanced view of religion, literacy, and identity.
“Fan Fic-ing” English Studies: A Case Study Exploring the Interplay of Vernacular Literacies and Disciplinary Engagement
Authors: Roozen Kevin
Published: March 2024

Drawing from a study of one student’s literate engagements with English studies and fan fiction and related fan art over her two years in an MA program, which also reached back to the earlier writing she did for English classes and other writings before the study began, this article employs sociohistoric theory to examine the profoundly dialogic interplay of vernacular and disciplinary literate activities. Following a detailed look at the student’s extensive involvement with fan fiction, the article elaborates the trajectory of linkages between fan fiction and English studies, paying particular attention to the repurposing of literate practices across these activities, the synergies and tensions that texture such interactions, and the long-term implications they have for the production of literate practice and person. Ultimately, the article argues for increased theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical attention to the heterogeneous assemblage of literate practices and identities that may be mediating literate action and, in particular, to the role vernacular literacies can play in developing disciplinary engagement and vice versa.

Introducción. Con el desarrollo de diversas herramientas de osteosíntesis, la técnica original de la osteotomía de Akin ha sido modificada sin afectar sus resultados en términos de ocurrencia de consolidación de la osteotomía y bajas tasas de infección. No obstante, no hay consenso sobre el uso de fijación interna en este procedimiento.
Objetivo. Describir los desenlaces de la osteotomía de Akin en términos de tasa de consolidación, tasa de infección y necesidad de reintervención para retiro de material de osteosíntesis en dos hospitales universitarios.
Metodología. Serie de casos multicéntrica retrospectiva realizada en 177 pacientes sometidos a osteotomía de Akin para la corrección de hallux valgus entre 2013 y 2020 en dos hospitales universitarios de Bogotá D.C., Colombia. Se evaluaron variables demográficas, clínicas y desenlaces del procedimiento (consolidación, infección y requerimiento de reintervención).
Resultados. El promedio de edad fue 55,2 años, 88,1% eran mujeres y el tiempo promedio de seguimiento fue de 7,9 meses. La fijación interna se utilizó en 27,7% de los participantes (n=49) y se realizó con agujas de Kirschner (59,2%), tornillo canulado (36,8%) y sutura absorbible (4,1%). Las tasas de no unión, infección y requerimiento de reintervención quirúrgica fueron 4,1%, 6,1% y 13,95% cuando se usó fijación, y 1,6%, 3,1% y 4,7% en el grupo sin fijación, respectivamente.
Conclusión. Dado que las tasas de no unión, infección y requerimiento de reintervención fueron bajas en este estudio, se considera que la osteotomía de Akin es una técnica segura que proporciona resultados de consolidación óptimos, independientemente del uso o no de fijación interna.

Published: March 2024

Music is often used in the upbringing and education of children with Down syndrome
because of the different possibilities for achieving developmental and therapeutic
goals. Music has been found to favour the emotional development of children with Down
syndrome, especially in identifying and recognizing emotions. Additionally, actively
engaging in music for children with Down syndrome has positive effects on the
acquisition and development of socio-emotional, motor, cognitive, and communication
abilities and skills and helps them with self-organizing and encouraging their social
interaction. Namely, music can facilitate parent-child interaction with Down syndrome
and increase a child’s attachment to their parents. In addition, music can stimulate the
psycho-emotional expression of children with Down syndrome, which is reflected through
thinking, concentration, reasoning, and mood. Children with Down syndrome are happy to
participate in musical activities, and respond well to music, and want to participate in
group musical activities. Teaching music is especially useful for both learning and
class interaction because music and musical activities will increase the self-esteem of
a child with Down syndrome. In this paper, we will present the observations obtained
through the case study procedure, i.e. the systematic observation of a student with Down
syndrome in the teaching of the subject of Music Culture during the three school years,
i.e. from 2018/19 until 2020/21. The student, along with a teaching assistant, currently
attends the eighth grade in a Slavonian school and studies according to the regular
teaching programme with the adjustment of content and individualized procedures in all
subjects. We will present the peculiarities of her school learning as well as the
educational needs that served as a starting point in creating an individualized
curriculum in the subject of Music Culture. Through systematic observation and research
diary, we monitored the development of abilities as well as the acquisition of knowledge
and skills of the student during the teaching of the subject Music Culture, and we will
present learning strategies and sociological forms of work that we applied in working
with students.

Persons with various degrees of visual impairment are part of the education system
and often pose a pedagogic challenge to educators and teachers. Despite advances in
medicine, many children and parents struggle with vision difficulties such as
strabismus, large refractive errors, and various congenital defects that cause
inadequate visual development and amblyopia. Teachers and educators often lack
opportunities to receive training on vision difficulties. The paper is intended for
teaching staff in educational institutions and non-teaching staff who work with the
visually impaired. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the most common causes of
visual impairment and to show the world how children with different visual impairments
visually experience it in order to better understand their problems and the way they
experience and perceive their environment. How does a healthy child wearing glasses see
the world? What does the world look like to a child with strabismus or a child with a
severe visual impairment? These are just some of the questions that the paper will
answer as a contribution to the development of special competencies in educators and
teachers for better inclusion of children with visual impairments in the educational
system. In our daily work, we have noticed that visually impaired people and people with
strabismus are more likely to encounter certain prejudices regarding their physical
appearance. Every prejudice stems from inadequate knowledge of the matter, and we hope
that this paper can contribute to an adequate perception of this issue. In conclusion,
we believe that it is necessary to establish better cooperation between health and
school institutions for the benefit of persons with disabilities, including the visually
impaired

Authors: Mahmood Layth , Adrees Al-Khashab , Fakhry Qassid
Published: March 2024

The pumps of high lift station consume a high magnitude of power to deliver the water supply to the community consumers, therefore it necessary to looking for means that help to reduce this consumption. The service pipe is an important part of water supply network but it is usually ignored in network analysis. The research focuses on the investigating the effects of this pipe on annual power consumption of pump station. The proposed model is constructed using EPAnet software and different values of diameter and C-coefficient are studied. Moreover, the effect of demand allocation is also studied. The results indicated that the increasing in diameter or in C-coefficient cause decreasing of annual power consumption. The application of demand allocation gives power consumption values less than that for no demand allocation application case. The statistical model showed the significance relationship among power consumption and service pipe properties, and showed that the effect of C-coefficient is higher than the effect of diameter.

Published: March 2024

The article addresses the interaction of disc vibration working elements of a seed drill with soil to reduce traction resistance and energy consumption in soil processing. Regularities characterizing the impact of vibrations on the soil are identified, and a mechanical-mathematical model of soil cutting by the vibrational disc-working element of a seed drill is developed. Mathematical dependencies for determining the parameters of vibro-impact interaction of the cutting edge of the disc-working element with the soil are obtained. The efficiency conditions of the vibro-cutting process, in terms of reducing traction resistance and energy consumption, are established. A methodology for selecting rational parameters for vibro-cutting soil in the design and operation of the disc-working element of seeding equipment is developed. Experimental results of a prototype vibrational working equipment are presented, confirming theoretical findings and demonstrating the effectiveness and feasibility of vibrational soil cutting by the disc-working element for reducing traction resistance and energy costs. The research, the results of which are presented in this article, is funded by the Committee on Science of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (grant AP14869252 "Development of the universal sowing complex with increased productivity for the agro-industrial production of the Republic of Kazakhstan").
Reaction-diffusion effects and spatiotemporal oscillations under SEM, STM and AFM-assisted charging in fiber-like and wire-like systems: From molecular and quantum wires to cooperative ferroelectric nanofibers and microfibers
Authors: Adamovich Eugene D. , Buryanskaya Eugenia L. , Gradova Margaret A. , Gradov Oleg V.
Published: March 2024

This review addresses the problem of reaction-diffusion effects and spatiotemporal oscillations in fiber-like and wire-like systems under the electron beam in SEM and in the presence of electric field in some special AFM techniques, such as current sensing atomic force microscopy (CS-AFM)/conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM), electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) also known as surface potential microscopy. Some similar reaction-diffusion effects also can be observed in scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM), scanning gate microscopy (SGM), scanning voltage microscopy (SVM) and piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM). At the end of this paper the authors provide analysis of their own results and approaches. In particular, the possibility of achieving the ion transfer controlled growth of cells along the ion concentration gradients in reaction-diffusion fibers and actuators is indicated. This fundamental idea is discussed within the framework of the implantable fiber “bioiontronics” and “neuroiontronics” controlled by acoustic and electrical signals that regulate the reaction-diffusion or chemical oscillation activity of such fiber structures as reaction-diffusion actuators and sensors. The literature review includes more than 130 references.
Effect of the welding procedure on the deformation of superposed welds of a low carbon steel
Authors: De Siqueira Rafael Humberto Mota , De Carvalho Sheila Medeiros , De Lima Milton Sergio Fernandes
Published: March 2024

This study compared gas-metal arc welding (GMAW) and laser beam welding (LBW) for the superposed joining of two low-carbon steels. The motivation was to reduce the visible defects (notches) in the external part of one of the sheets. Both welding processes produced sound welds characterized by ferrite and pearlite; however, the notch disappeared when LBW was used. The hardness values of the fusion and heat-affected zones were similar for both processes, but the tensile strengths were very different. The shear tensile strengths of the LBW and GMAW were 415 and 84 MPa, respectively. Finite element analysis simulations indicated a more diffuse distribution of the von Mises stress throughout the welded component. The GMAW FEA model also presented a defect because of excessive heat transfer and residual stresses. In conclusion, LBW can replace GMAW in this particular case with improvements in appearance, productivity, and mechanical strength.

Authors: Meysami Amirhossein , Amini Najafabadi Reza , Nemati Varnoosfaderani Ehsan , Aghili Erfan , Foroughifar Aliasghar
Published: March 2024

This study examined the surfaces of non-passivated and passivated tinplate samples, as well as the impurities present on them, using SEM, EDS, and GDOES. Additionally, solutions were analyzed using ICP in order to identify any correlations between the elements present in the solutions and on the strip surfaces. The results from GDOES indicated the presence of unwanted elements, such as Sn, S, Cr, N, P, Zn, Fe, Mn, C, and Si, on both the passivated and non-passivated sample surfaces. SEM analysis of the passivated sample revealed light and dark regions in parallel lines, which were observed ahead of the rolling direction. EDS analysis indicated that the light areas were rich in Sn while the dark areas were rich in Fe, and C was identified as an unwanted element in both areas. O and Cr were only found in the dark areas. EDS analysis of the impurities revealed Na, S, Cl, Ca, Mg, Si, N, and Al as unwanted elements. The results suggest that unwanted elements are transferred from the steel strip surface to different solutions in the tinplate line, causing pollution in various solutions.
Building a No Cost Undergraduate Community Speech Clinic
Authors: Spencer Meagan , Seibel Mary Beth , Beard Emily , Christensen Emily
Published: March 2024

Aim: This study aimed to explore the clinic learning models through student perspectives using that insight to explore how these students viewed a newly established speech clinic program and understand the organizational and learning benefits and limitations of the clinic and how it can be improved for future service for student learning.

Methods: This exploratory study utilized an observation analysis to understand how the student-led functioning of the clinic fits into both the learning models of Bloom’s Taxonomy and Bandura’s Triadic Reciprocal Model of Causality and the factors that contribute most to these learning models. These models were chosen due to the systemic and progressive nature of learning that reflects the academic mission of the university’s accrediting body: the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. A mixed closed and open-ended student questionnaire was utilized to gain insight into themes that influence the student-led learning model.

Results: The clinic was overall seen as a place of relationship building and skills development. The main contributors to this relationship-building and skills development lie in the ability of students to apply what they have been learning in the classroom to a functional situation, as well as the opportunity to serve the community and build confidence and leadership skills.

Conclusion: Student leadership roles in the clinic are leading to self-efficacy which is seen in the highest level of Bloom’s Taxonomy and Bandura’s Triadic Reciprocal Model of Causality.

Comparative Analysis of Air Quality Index in Relation to Crop Residue Burning and Industrial Pollution in Punjab
Authors: Singh Bahaderjeet , Singh Lovepreet , Mehta Amritpal , Singh Bablu
Published: March 2024

The stubble burning is considered as the major air pollution contributor during the month of October and November, in Northern parts of India. Due to the fact that it corresponds with the burning seasons, the terrible haze seen over India in the winter has been connected to stubble burning (October-November). The situation is more critical in Punjab as the farmers have adopted extensive Rice-Wheat cropping system which leads to accumulation of stubble at large scale. The major gaseous pollutants generated due to stubble burning and industrial pollution are carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO2), sulfur oxides (SO2), and methane (CH4) as well as particulate matters (PM10 and PM2.5) causing serious issues to human health and the environment. Present study was planned to determine the impact of stubble burning on air quality parameter among industrial, moderately industrial and non-industrial area. It was reported that concentrations of particulate matters PM2.5 and PM10 in air was increasing with increasing in burning events in all the districts studied. Whereas increasing trend of NH3 and NO2 concentration in Ludhiana and NH3 in Bathinda district may be due the impact of crop residue burning along with industrial pollution. If managed properly, crop stubbles might offer farmers significant economic rewards and safeguard the environment from serious contamination. Present results showed that burning of rice crop residue significantly contributes to air pollution in Punjab.

A study was conducted to determine association between seventeen traits of twenty genotypes of chrysanthemum. The results revealed strong positive correlation of flower yield per plant with flower yield per plot, plant height at 60 days after transplanting and at full bloom, number of primary branches, plant spread (N-S and E-W direction), number of leaves per plant, stem girth and flowers yield per ha. The findings of path analysis revealed that flower yield per hectare, plant height at 60 days after transplanting, plant spread in E-W direction, stem girth, days to bud initiation, days to full bloom, fresh weight of flower and number of flowers per plant had positive direct effect on yield of flowers per plant. Hence, it is concluded from this study that flower yield can be increased by selecting these traits directly while formulating crop improvement program in chrysanthemum.
„Összegyűjtötték őket arra a helyre, amelyet Harmagedónnak hívnak”

15–16. századi látványos és a keresztény világ számára sokkoló győzelmi sorozatukkal az oszmánok – és rajtuk keresztül maga az iszlám – az európai ellenségkép középpontjába kerültek. A kezdeti élénk kíváncsiságot (úgymint az oszmánok eredetét, származását illetően) fokozatosan háttérbe szorította a katonai erejük, szervezettségük és más vallásuk által gerjesztett félelem, ami meghatározó eleme lett az 1500-as, illetve az 1600-as évek irodalmának, képzőművészetének, valamint egyre nagyobb számban jelen levő sajtótermékeinek. A korszakban az úgymond „törököt” egyaránt nevezték barbároknak, vadaknak, vérebeknek, a kereszténység ősellenségének, Isten büntetésének, a 16. század közepére pedig mind katolikus, mind protestáns oldalon dominánssá vált az oszmánok elhelyezése az eszkatologikus eseménysorban.

The purpose of this writing is to analyze the political power of the caliph as a whole. Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama is an organization that has always been active in supporting the khiffah in making political contention successful, this is also evidenced by the election of the Governor of East Java in 2018, nahdiyin residents participated in the victory starting from mass mobilization at the grassroots level to consolidation at the nahdiyin elite level. The research method used is a qualitative method that seeks to understand social phenomena in depth. The results of this discussion are concrete evidence that the NU organization is the largest community organization in Indonesia and that strong solidarity has become a source of political strength for the caliph. Apart from that, identity branding as a woman has succeeded in becoming a source of Khofifah's political strength. Khofifah is a successful female figure, even though Khofifah's brand identity is not instantaneous. There are many things that must be taken by Khofifah, including massive communication, also known as a clean political actor. Corruption, with a clean track record, is certainly a strength for Khofifah in increasing her electability, this will add to the weight of the voter's decision, especially in the rational voter segment.

ASKERİ SOSYOLOJİ VE KEMALİST PARADİGMA: PRATİKTEN TEORİYE GEÇİŞTEKİ DİNAMİKLER
Authors: YILDIZ ÖMER
Published: March 2024

Bu makale, İkinci dünya savaşından sonra gelişmeye başlayan Askeri Sosyoloji disiplini bağlamında Türkiye’deki Kemalist düşünce yapısının irdelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Kemalist anlayışın veya Kemalizm’in kökenlerinde saklı olan sosyolojik askeri anlayışın oluşmasının gerekçelerini ortaya koyarken, Kemalizm’i pragmatik olarak günümüz Türkiye’sindeki subaylar üzerindeki etkisini irdelemektir. Bu çalışmada, genelde sosyoloji, her ne kadar ikinci dünya savaşı sonrası gelişim gösterse de özelde de askeri sosyoloji disiplininin Kemalizm’in pragmatik yapısını etkilerini ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır. Kemalizm, sosyolojik ve fikri temellerini Ziya Gökalp’in sosyolojik anlayışı üzerine inşa ettiği tarihsel bir tespit olarak ifade edebiliriz. Türkiye’nin kurucusu Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün “hissiyatımı Namık Kemal’den fikriyatımı Ziya Gökalp’ten aldım” açıklaması da bu düşüncemizi desteklemektedir. Ziya Gökalp’in sosyolojinin kurucu babalarından Emile Durkhaim sıkı bir takipçisi olduğu da göz önüne aldığımızda Kemalizm’in fikri sosyolojik kökenlerinin Fransız düşünür ve sosyolog Emile Durkheim’a dayandığını da ifade edebiliriz. Sosyoloji disiplininin modernitenin bir eseri olduğunu belirtirsek hem birinci hem de ikinci dünya savaşlarından sonra askerlerin dünya toplumlarının yaşamları üzerinde doğrudan ya da dolaylı olarak büyük bir sosyolojik etkiye sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Bu müdahaleler ve karşılıklı sivil-asker etkileşimleri askeri sosyoloji disiplininin oluşmasına zemin hazırlamış ve sosyoloji disiplini toplumun bir diğer aktif sosyal grubu olarak askerleri araştırmaya ve incelemeye başlamıştır. Askeri sosyolojinin İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra ortaya çıktığını belirtsek de bir bilim dalı olarak daha geç bir tarihte ortaya çıkması, askeri sosyoloji disiplininin dünyada hiçbir zaman var olmadığını göstermez. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye koşullarında “asker millet” anlayışının egemen bir düşünce olduğu kabul edildiğinde askerlerin Türkiye’nin ve Türklerin tarihinde ve sosyolojisinde çok büyük bir yerinin olduğu ispatlıdır. Dolayısıyla Kemalizm fikriyatının doğmasında ve şekillenmesinde askeri zihniyet yapısının çok yoğun şekilde etkili olduğunun da görülmektedir. Türkiye koşullarında Kemalizm’in ideolojik ve pragmatik olarak etkin olmasında “erken askeri sosyoloji” koşullarının tüm varlığıyla hüküm sürdüğü de ifade edilebilir. Dolayısı ile bu çalışmada “Kemalizm Pratikten Teoriye Geçişteki Dinamikler” askeri sosyolojik olarak irdelenecek ve ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır.
