Education is a very important need for everyone today and everyone has the right to obtain legal education according to their needs. The Nature of Reading Reading is essentially an activity that involves many things, not only reading an article but also using the mind, psycholinguistics and metacognitive as well as an activity to get a meaning from a reading but also having to master the language used by the author, so the reader needs to activate mental processes and cognition. This type of research is classroom action research (CAR). This classroom action research is carried out in a cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The results of classroom action research that have been carried out in cycle I, from the beginning to the last stage have been carried out properly as they should. But in cycle 1 there were only 14 students who completed the learning activities. KKM on this load is 70. While in cycle 2 there is a difference. Based on the results of research conducted in grade 1 SDN BATOR 1 in Bangkalan district, the researchers can conclude that there is an increase in learning outcomes in Indonesian subjects about sentences of praise with the help of word card media. This can be seen from the learning outcomes of grade 1 students, where there is an increase after the implementation of learning through the word card game of praise.

Earthquake Contributions to Coastal Cliff Retreat
Authors: Bloom Colin K. , Singeisen Corinne , Stahl Timothy , Howell Andrew , Massey Chris
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Modeling suggests that steep coastal regions will experience increasingly rapid erosion related to climate change induced sea level rise. Earthquakes can also cause intense episodes of coastal cliff retreat, but coseismic failures are rarely captured in the historical record used to calibrate most cliff retreat forecast models. Here, we disaggregate cliff-top retreat related to strong ground motion and non-seismic sources, providing a unique window into earthquake contributions to long-term coastal cliff retreat. Widespread landsliding and up to c. 19 m of coastal cliff-top retreat occurred in the area of Conway Flat during the 2016 Kaikōura (New Zealand) earthquake despite relatively low (c. 0.2 g) peak ground accelerations. While coastal cliff-top retreat has been spatially and temporally variable over the past 72 years, historical aerial imagery suggests that large earthquake induced landslide triggering events disproportionately contribute to an average 0.25 m/year retreat at Conway Flat. The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake represents c. 24 % of the total cliff-top retreat over the past 72 years and c. 39 % of cliff-top retreat over the past 56 years. Additionally, significant retreat between 1950 and 1966 is likely the result of local seismicity. Together these two events account for c. 57 % of cliff-top retreat over the past 72 years. Earthquake-related debris piles at the base of the cliffs have been rapidly eroded in the 5 years since the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake (more than 25 % loss of debris volume) and there will likely be little evidence of the earthquake within the next decade. In regions with similar lithologic and coastal conditions, evidence of past widespread single-event cliff-top retreat may be limited or non-existent. The coastal cliffs at Conway Flat demonstrate the potential to significantly underestimate future cliff-top retreat using historical records.
Phase-field Models of Floe Fracture in Sea Ice
Authors: Dinh Huy , Giannakis Dimitrios , Slawinska Joanna , Stadler Georg
Published: August 2022

Abstract. We develop a phase-ﬁeld model of brittle fracture to model fracture of sea ice ﬂoes. Phase ﬁelds allow a variational formulation of fracture using an energy functional that combines a linear elastic energy with a term modeling the energetic cost of fracture. We study the fracture strength of ice ﬂoes with stochastic thickness variations under boundary forcings or displacements. Our approach models refrozen cracks or other linear ice impurities with stochastic models for thickness proﬁles. We ﬁnd that the orientation of thickness variations are an important factor for the strength of ice ﬂoes and study the distribution of critical stresses leading to fracture. Potential applications to Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations and ﬁeld data from the ICEx 2018 campaign are discussed.
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Implementation of the Standard Viscous-Plastic Sea-Ice Model and Validation in Simple Idealized Experiments
Authors: Marquis Oreste , Tremblay Bruno , Lemieux Jean-François , Islam Mohammed
Published: August 2022

Abstract. The Viscous-Plastic (VP) rheology with an elliptical yield curve and normal flow rule is implemented in a Lagrangian modelling framework using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) meshfree method. Results show, from perturbation analysis of SPH sea-ice dynamic equations, that the classical SPH particle density formulation expressed as a function of sea-ice concentration and mean ice thickness, leads to incorrect plastic wave speed. We propose a new formulation for particle density that gives a plastic wave speed in line with theory. In all cases, the plastic wave in the SPH framework is dispersive and depends on the smoothing length (i.e., the spatial resolution) and on the SPH kernel employed in contrast with its finite difference method (FDM) implementation counterpart. The steady-state solution for the simple 1D ridging experiment is in agreement with the analytical solution within an error of 1 %. SPH is also able to simulate a stable upstream ice arch in an idealized domain representing the Nares Strait in low wind regime (5.3 [m · s−1]) with an ellipse aspect ratio of 2, an average thickness of 1 [m] and free-slip boundary conditions in opposition to the FDM implementation that requires higher shear strength to simulate it. In higher wind regime (7.5 [m · s−1]) no stable ice arches are simulated — unless the thickness is increased — and the ice arch formation showed no dependence on the size of particles contrary to what is observed in the discrete element framework. Finally, the SPH framework is explicit, can take full advantage of parallel processing capabilities and show potential for pan-arctic climate simulations.
Automated ArcticDEM iceberg detection tool: insights into area and volume distributions, and their potential application to satellite imagery and modelling of glacier-iceberg-ocean systems
Authors: Shiggins Connor , Lea James , Brough Stephen
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Iceberg calving accounts for up to half of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), with their size distributions providing insights into glacier calving dynamics, and impacting fjord environments through their melting and subsequent freshwater release. Iceberg area and volume data for the GrIS are currently limited to a handful of fjord locations, while existing approaches to iceberg detection are often time consuming and are not always suited for long time series analysis over large spatial scales. This study presents a fully automated workflow for the detection of icebergs within Google Earth Engine using high spatial resolution timestamped ArcticDEM (Arctic Digital Elevation Model) strip data. This is applied to three glaciers that exhibit a range of different iceberg densities and size distributions: Sermeq Kujalleq (Jakobshavn Isbræ), Umiammakku Isbræ and Kangiata Nunaata Sermia. A total of 39 ArcticDEM scenes are analysed, detecting a total of 163,738 icebergs in 6 minutes to 2 hours for each glacier depending on the number of DEMs available and total area analysed, comparing well with manually digitised outlines. Results reveal two distinct iceberg distributions at Sermeq Kujalleq and Kangiata Nunaata Sermia where iceberg density is high, and one distribution at Umiammakku Isbræ where iceberg density is low. Small icebergs are found to account for over 80 % of each glacier’s icebergs however, they only contribute to 10–37 % of total iceberg volume suggesting that large icebergs are proportionally more important for glacier mass loss and as fjord freshwater reservoirs. The overall dataset is used to construct new area to volume conversions (with associated uncertainties) that can be applied to two-dimensional iceberg outlines derived from optical or synthetic aperture radar imagery. When data are expressed in terms of total iceberg count and volume, insight is provided into iceberg distributions that have potential applicability to observations and modelling of iceberg calving behaviour and fjord freshwater fluxes. Due to the speed and automated nature of our approach, this workflow offers the potential to interrogate iceberg data on a pan-Arctic scale where there is sufficient ArcticDEM coverage.

Authors: TABARA Eyup
Published: August 2022

İslam dininin iki önemli kaynağı vardır; Kur’an-ı Kerim ve Sünnet. Bu iki kaynaktan Kur’an âyetlerinin günümüze kadar mütevatir yolla geldiği görüşünde icma vardır ve bu ayetlerin doğruluğu hakkında herhangi bir tartışma gündeme gelmemekle birlikte birtakım müteşabih ayetler hakkında farklı görüşler, yorumlar ortaya konmuştur. Genel çerçevede Sünnet’i oluşturan hadisler hakkında ise öteden beri pek çok tartışma yapılagelmiştir. Bu sözlerin Hz. Peygamber’e aidiyeti noktasında raviler, metinler hadis alimleri tarafından ciddi şekilde tenkide tabi tutulmuş; bu çalışmaların sonucunda hadisler, “sahih, hasen, zayıf ve mevzu (uydurma) hadis” olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Günümüzde pek çok din görevlisi, hadislerin sıhhat derecesine bakmadan kulaktan duyma edindiği bilgileri hutbede, vaazlarda hadis diye cemaate aktarmaktadır. Bu bağlamda din görevlilerinin hadis hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi önem arzetmektedir. Söz konusu çalışmamız, bu ihtiyaç üzerine kaleme alınan “Din Görevlilerinin Hadis’e Yönelik Tutum Ve Bilgi Düzeyleri: Elazığ Örneği” isimli çalışmanın tanıtımını amaçlamaktadır.

Authors: Silva Andressa Raphaely de Lima , Cadena Marilia Ribeiro Sales
Published: August 2022

A inclusão educacional visa à participação dos estudantes com deficiência por meio de modificações na educação, tornando-a acessível, para que se obtenha igualdade de oportunidades. Nessa perspectiva, a utilização de modelos didáticos inclusivos apresenta-se como uma alternativa promissora. Com isso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo monitorar tecnologicamente modelos didáticos sobre anatomia e embriologia inclusivos a deficientes visuais. Para tal, foi realizado o monitoramento tecnológico de modelos didáticos sobre anatomia e embriologia em bases de artigos e patentes nacionais e internacionais. Com base nos resultados obtidos, pode-se concluir que, apesar de o uso de modelos didáticos se apresentar satisfatório no auxílio do processo de ensino e aprendizagem, o desenvolvimento de modelos didáticos de anatomia e embriologia ainda se apresenta escasso, especialmente do ponto de vista inclusivo.

Authors: Masson Gisele
Published: August 2022

Neste artigo, propõe-se a analisar como a produção do conhecimento, em Educação, pode se constituir a partir de uma perspectiva não disruptiva entre ontologia e epistemologia, sob a perspectiva marxista. Tendo isso em vista, abordam-se, inicialmente, questões históricas e conceituais relativas à ontologia e à epistemologia. Na sequência, destacam-se as possibilidades, no processo de produção do conhecimento, de uma abordagem ontoepistemológica, com destaque para as contribuições da perspectiva marxista, a partir de Marx, Lukács, Paulo Netto e Tonet. Por fim, estabelecem-se reflexões sobre a importância de pesquisas, no campo da Educação, que evidenciem os fundamentos ontoepistemológicos utilizados pelos pesquisadores. Trata-se de um estudo teórico que visa contribuir no debate sobre a produção do conhecimento em geral, mas, sobretudo, na área da Educação, com vistas a qualificar as pesquisas desse campo do conhecimento, especialmente pela unidade ontoepistemológica e suas implicações éticas.
Folkmarketing e semiótica
Authors: Garcia Martins Thiago
Published: August 2022

Muito se discute sobre o real conceito de marketing cultural, isto é, qualquer ação mercadológica que tange a cultura de um grupo ou sociedade pode ser considerado marketing cultural? De qualquer maneira, é de praxe do marketing utilizar a cultura como critério para entender um determinado mercado. Para refletir sobre isso, exemplifico como a utilização de signos da cultura LGBTI são utilizadas em diferentes contextos por marcas como Santander e Avon. Para esta última, utilizo da semiótica peirceana para analisar o comercial #Eaitápronta? no qual apresenta elementos que tangem a diversidade e o movimento LGBTI para criar um significado para sua marca, um reposicionamento da mesma.  Assim, foi possível analisar ações de marcas que utilizam de signos culturais em suas ações de folkmarketing para gerarem significados intangíveis para seus produtos por meio das marcas.

REAL WATER SAVINGS OF SIMULATED IRRIGATION METHODS AND FARM MANAGEMENTS IN SUGARCANE: CASE STUDY IN MALANG REGENCY
Authors: AD Mawardhi  , CO Debataraja
Published: August 2022

Water scarcity problem in East Java threatens Indonesia's sugarcane production. Various water conservation techniques are carried out to reduce water use and achieve optimal production. This study aimed to analyze the real water savings of various irrigation methods and farm managements commonly used by farmers to respond to water drought and increase crop production in Malang Regency. AquaCrop modeling software and REWAS tools were used to simulate sugarcane production under various conditions and calculate real water savings from each scenario. The results showed that irrigation methods were able to increase crop yields compared to rainfed farming. Good farm managements were also able to produce yields two times higher compared to minimum managements. Without good managements, irrigation did not show higher water productivity than rainfed agriculture. By changing the irrigation method from furrow irrigation to drip irrigation, it was only able to achieve real water savings up to 14% compared to the apparent water savings which is up to 84%. The above results do not intend to prevent drip irrigations and good farm managements use, instead to emphasize the importance of proper calculations on real water savings at the basin level in terms of water scarcity. Future study is required to acquiring a better knowledge of real water savings in sugarcane through field experiments.

Authors: Tangka George Morris William , Ellie Ophelia Delviolin  , Chou Hsien-Ming
Published: August 2022

E-commerce plays a significant role in a country's economic condition. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, it has become more popular, along with concerns about its ability to handle information security. The Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) method could be a possible solution to the e-commerce payment security issue that hampers customer trust. This paper investigates the viability of an online payment framework based on the ZPK method. This method is an upgrade for authentication during the payment process in online shopping. Experiments on customers' perspectives of the payment framework based on the ZKP method were conducted and supported the perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust, control, satisfaction, and loyalty aspects of a better e-commerce website. It allows advantages for both customers and e-commerce and prevents fraud, which will increase the trust level for both sides. zkSNARK speeds up and lowers the cost of the process, but there is a risk of DOS. Future work needs to be done to handle DOS in this method.

The population is increasing at a steady rate worldwide and it is now identified as one of the main threats to our planet in the 21st century. Since ancient times herbal medicines have been used for fertility regulation in males and females. Antifertility agents and contraceptive agents are the drugs that hinder the process of fertilization through barrier as well as the anti-fertility effects. Contraception involves the methodology of preventing the normal process of ovulation by affecting the menstrual cycle, fertilization, and ovulation. One example of birth control pills is progesterone and estrogen in combination. Anti-fertility component noticed as an active agent in females for prevention of fertilization and in case of males, prevention of spermatogenesis by inhibiting testosterone or action on the gonadotropin of organs or mortality of sperms. Numerous plants have phytoestrogens as novel agents which have noxious effects by making changes in the normal gestation procedure and lead to impaired fertility in domestic animals. Various experimental models have been developed and evidenced for evaluating the efficacy of antifertility agents. The review provides a comprehensive summary of contraceptive methods used in males and females, various plants, parts of plants and extracts are been used for the facilitation of anti-fertility have used as anti-fertility agents.

Regulatory Provisions for Cosmetics in India
Authors: Kavya Kavya , Singh Chawra Himmat
Published: August 2022

The cosmetics industry is undergoing significant transformations all over the world. Cosmetics regulation in regulated markets is significantly stricter in terms of quality, safety, nomenclature, and labelling in order to govern the use of cosmetic items. Cosmetic safety is governed by a variety of regulatory agencies around the world, i.e. countries with their own set of rules and regulations. According to a recent study, cosmetic regulations in India differ significantly from those in regulated markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Australia. India's cosmetics market is growing at a rate of roughly 20% per year, which is twice as fast as the US and European markets. Even though India's cosmetic standards are complicated and time-consuming, they are required for pre- and post-market approvals. The existing Indian cosmetic regulations include serious flaws, such as the following: Multiple and complex regulations under different bodies, lack of Central Drug Standard Control Organization implementation guidelines, BIS Cosmetics issues that require standard development and amendment, non-uniform licencing approvals between states, and a divergent approach across authorities in interpreting a certain issue are all issues that must be handled. India's cosmetic industry is governed by the Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1940 and the Rules of 1945. In India, cosmetics are held to high standards and are governed by strict rules. This paper discusses the overall cosmetics scenario, as well as the regulations for cosmetics import and manufacture registration.

Background: Political values are essential to our sense of self and belonging. Yet the political orientation of clinical psychologists has either been neglected in psychological research or been investigated only in the United States several decades ago. This study therefore aimed to explore political values among psychologists and how they perceive the effect of political values on therapy in Norway. Method: Five clinical psychologists currently in active practice were recruited for semi-structured interviews. Results and discussion: A thematic analysis yielded several distinct themes. Political beliefs appear to play a part in therapy, and may influence both what the therapist thinks about the client and the choice of therapy. Nonetheless, the informants reported that talking about political beliefs in a psychotherapeutic setting was unusual and even uncomfortable for them. Conclusion: We therefore ask whether it is time to break the taboos associated with political values in and around psychotherapy, and conclude that further research should be devoted to this sensitive but vital topic. Keywords: politics, values, psychotherapy, therapeutic alliance, empathy, semi-structured interviews

The treatment of solid tumors sees an increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti PD-1/PDL-1, anti CTLA-4). The new drug combinations have revolutionized the treatment of different types of cancer, from melanoma to chest neoplasms, renal and esophageal cancer. All of these different diseases have one common denominator: the immune system. Only the immune system, properly stimulated, can attack and destroy different types of cancer, as if they were an infection. This review describes the most important milestones achieved in 2021 by combination treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Aspergillus coinfection with Scopulariopsis brumptii in an immunosuppressed adult male is rare. Patients with Aspergillosis have been described to be coinfected with other organisms, including fungi but the combination with fungi from the Scopulariopsis group has not been so far reported to the best of our knowledge. We report the case of an adult male with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance and concurrent COPD, Rheumatoid arthritis on monoclonal antibody therapy and Methotrexate, presenting with recurrent chest infections. Initially, the patient was diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis and treated with antifungal and corticosteroid therapy. During follow up, repeated chest infection was noted despite a range of broad-spectrum antibiotics. Scopulariopsis brumptii was detected on the sputum sample, and specific antifungal treatment was commenced until the full recovery. The patient was on follow up for several years. He is now asymptomatic with no further growth of Aspergillus or Scopulariopsis in his sputum.

Schwannoma is a benign, encapsulated and a slowly growing peripheral neural sheath tumor that arises from the schwann cells. 25-40% of Schwannomas occur in the head and neck region and of which 1-12% are seen in the oral cavity. The most common subsite in the oral cavity is tongue followed by the palate and buccal mucosa. The most commonly involved nerves include hypoglossal, lingual, tympanic, glossopharyngeal, vagus and the superior laryngeal nerves. The common presentation is a painless nodule or a swelling depending on the site of presentation. The preoperative diagnosis of schwannoma is usually suggested by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and is confirmed by histo-pathologic examination. The extent, exact location and relation with surrounding structures is delineated by imaging in the form of Ultrasound scanning, Computed Tomography (CT) scan or an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, MRI is the imaging modality of choice as it provides better soft tissues details with precision along with the nerve of origin. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence is insignificant and has very rare chances of malignant transformation.

Aloe vera is one of the most important plant used in modern science and has gained popularity in homeopathy and conventional medicine. Recent studies on rodents have shown its effect on liver. Therefore, current study was planned to assess the effects of Aloe Vera gel on liver function in normal and induced hyperglycaemic dogs. Aloe Vera gel was administrated orally in dogs (n = 12). The experimental period was divided into two phases. In each phase dogs were divided into three group’s i-e., A, B and C. In phase-1, group A was given only basal diet and kept as a control. Whereas group B was treated with Aloe vera gel at the therapeutic dosage of 500mg/kg B.W with basal diet, while group C was treated higher dosage regimen of 1000mg/kg B.W with basal diet once daily for 07 consecutive days. After 21 days washout period, in Phase-2, group A was fed basal with high carbohydrate diet and kept as a control. Whereas group B and C was administered Aloe vera gel at therapeutic dosage regimen of 500mg/kg B.W and 1000mg/kg B.W with basal with high carbohydrate diet once daily for 07 consecutive days respectively. In both phases, blood samples were collected at 0, 2, 6, and 10hr from day 1 to day 7, daily and on 10th and 14th day following Aloe vera treatment and analysed for biochemical parameters including serum Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase and Bilirubin. Results revealed significant (P<0.05) decrease in biochemical parameters at therapeutic dosage of 500mg/kg as well as in higher dosage regimen of 1000mg/kg B.W against control. During this study in both phases all biochemical parameters decreased (P˂0.05) at 0, 2, 6 and 10hr from Day 1-14 post Aloe vera treatment. All biochemical parameters did not return to the pre-treatment values following the discontinuation of Aloe vera gel on 10th and 14th day of its treatment. It has been concluded from the current study that, the Aloe vera administration at the therapeutic dosage of 500 mg/kg B.W orally is adequate to reduce increased level of these biochemical parameters in dogs.

Tachyarrhythmiasare dangerous heart rhythms that can disturb the hemodynamics of the patient leading to cardiac arrest and death. Knowing the exact burden of AVRT and AVNRT in our population can help in early diagnosis and management with radiofrequency ablation.Aim of this study was to determine the frequency AVNRT and AVRT in relation with concealed and manifested types of accessory pathways, in patients with previous history of Narrow Complex Tachycardia (NCT). Methods: In this retrospective study, 160 patients were enrolled from Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore, Electrophysiology Department. All patients who had experienced two or more episodes of narrow complex tachycardia (NCT) were included. Main outcome variable was primary etiology of NCT as seen on EP study. Age, gender, co-morbid conditions like diabetes and hypertension were documented for each patient. Results: Mean age of the patients was 38.25 SD 13.6 years, 60% were females and only 8 patients had diabetes (5%) all were above 50 years of age, 24 patients had hypertension (15%) with majority of case of age 31-50 years. On electrophysiological (EP) study, patients of NCT were later diagnosed to be AVNRT in 60% (n: 96) cases and ORT in 40% cases (n: 64), (24 of 64 cases of manifested type and 40 of 64 cases of concealed type). Among the factors like diabetes, hypertension, old age, old age with hypertension and old age with diabetes, old age alone was a significant risk factor, p=0.03. Conclusion: Narrow complex tachycardia (NCT) patients should be follow-up for EP study to determine the cause and manage using catheter ablation. The percentages and statistics concluded in our study are more or less in coherence with international studies. We have not been able to identify any significant differences which could initiate the basis and lead us to another study.
