The Communicative Writing Framework: Examining Bilingual Children’s Writing
Authors: Kuhlman Natalie A.
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the potential for teachers to act as researchers within their own classrooms. It utilizes a four-step process for such classroombased research: observation, reflection, planning, and action. The focus of the research described is the creation of a Communicative Writing Framework (CWF) to aid in the examination and evaluation of linguistically diverse children’s writing. Research by James Cummins, Katherine Perera, and Linda Flower provide the theoretical basis for such a framework. Application of the CWF is made to (a) data from the Language Assessment Scales-Writing, a national assessment tool, and (b) writing activities of students in a first-grade Spanish-English bilingual classroom. Suggestions are provided for teachers interested in implementing and adapting the CWF model to their own writing classes.
ESL Instruction in the Workplace
Authors: Andrews Diane L.
Published: October 2024

The teaching of English to foreign-born vocational and professional workers at their place of work is an unexplored possibility for many ESL instructors in California. Yet the increasing number of these workers and their need for advanced language skills on the job combine to create a viable market for instructor services. This paper explores what it is like to teach in the workplace based on interviews with 10 San Francisco Bay Area ESL professionals. Class structure, learner needs, instructional considerations, and the need for relevant, flexible materials are discussed. Practical recommendations are made to interested instructors: network, establish a reputation in the field, know compensation norms, focus on professional workers, use a business approach with companies, project a professional image, be aware of company attitude toward instruction, involve management, adapt teaching theory to meet specific needs, encourage learner independence, and stay current.
Changing Contexts in Secondary Classes by Altering Teacher Assumptions
Authors: Freeman Yvonne , Freeman David
Published: October 2024

While teachers always try to do what is best for their students, some teachers of bilingual students base instruction on assumptions that actually make learning harder and limit student potential. Such assumptions are: (a) Learning involves the transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the student; (b) oral language skills must be developed before literacy skills are introduced; and (c) learning proceeds from part to whole. This article examines each of these assumptions and shows the kind of classroom practices that follow from them. Then a second set of assumptions is introduced: (a) Learning is an active process of meaning construction that occurs during social interaction; (b) reading, writing, speaking, and listening develop interdependently; and (c) learning proceeds from whole to part. Extended examples of learning activities taken from classes in which the teachers ascribe to these assumptions are provided. The examples come from middle and high school classes with both Hispanic and Southeast Asian students. In classes based on this second set of assumptions, all students, but especially bilingual students, find learning easier.
Cambodian Refugees: Factors Affecting Their Assimilation and English Language Acquisition.
Authors: Welaratna Usha
Published: October 2024

In the U.S. today, there are approximately 140,000 Cambodian (Khmer) refugees who were forced to flee their country to escape the excessively traumatic rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The vast majority of Khmer refugees came from an overwhelmingly rural, nonwestern background and many have not been successful in learning English, and in mainstreaming with the larger American public. This paper has two aims: (a) to present some of the connections among the history, worldview, social behaviors, and sociolinguistic patterns of the Khmer people, and, (b) to demonstrate how these features as well as the social and cultural setting of America affect their assimilation and language acquisition. Findings are based on ethnographic research currently being conducted by the author which include: teaching of ESL to adult refugees in their homes while learning the Khmer language herself, participant observation, extensive family interviews, and community service activities.
The “Process Approach” to Writing Instruction: An Examination of Issues.
Authors: Casanave Christine Pearson
Published: October 2024

A process approach to writing instruction is intended to create a humanistic, nonevaluative classroom atmosphere in which students learn discovery-oriented composing strategies. Numerous assumptions are embedded in this perspective—for example, that expert writers compose in similar ways and that novice writers can become better writers by behaving like experts. These and other assumptions need to be questioned and explored within a broader social context than that provided us by cognitive process research. These social issues include purposes for writing, the role of evaluation in school writing, and the communicative nature of the writing act. A process approach can thus be viewed as a set of instructional techniques appropriate for some purposes and some writing tasks, rather than as a theoretically based research program.
Responsabilização por crimes contra o patrimônio cultural: a importância do tipo penal do crime internacional
Authors: Lopes Fabris Alice
Published: October 2024

A proteção internacional de bens culturais está bem estabelecida pelo Direito Internacional. Convenções internacionais amplamente ratificadas reconheceram a destruição do patrimônio cultural como um crime de guerra e, em alguns casos, jurisdições reconheceram esta destruição como parte de um crime contra a humanidade. Apesar da tipificação, essas destruições continuam a ocorrer nos conflitos contemporâneos. Além disso, vários indivíduos e Estados autores de destruições não são responsabilizados por seus atos. Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir os pontos fortes e fracos das diferentes possibilidades de responsabilização dos autores de crimes contra o patrimônio cultural. Será analisada a resposta trazida pelos tribunais penais internacionais ad hoc, assim como o Tribunal Penal Internacional e jurisdições híbridas, bem como a forma como a lei nacional tipifica esse crime. Juntamente com a análise das principais jurisdições internacionais que lidaram ou deveriam ter lidado com crimes contra o patrimônio cultural - como o TPI, o TPII e as ECCC –, para a realização desta análise foram consultadas as leis de quase 100 Estados que lidam com crimes contra o patrimônio cultural para entender as vantagens e desvantagens de ambas as opções para levar à justiça os autores pela destruição do patrimônio cultural.

THE POSSIBILITY OF DONATION OF ORGANS AND TISSUES
Authors: F. Nascimento Jocinete
Published: October 2024

Organ and tissue donation is a very important subject in our society in general. I intend to discuss what organ donation is. The importance of organ and tissue donation. About the importance of awareness. Organ or tissue donation is an act by which the living individual decides to help in the treatment of other people. Donation may be from organs (kidney, liver, heart, pancreas and lung) or tissue (cornea, skin, bones, heart valves, cartilage, bone marrow and umbilical cord blood). The donation of organs such as the kidney, part of the liver and bone marrow can be done in life. For the donation of organs of deceased persons, only after the confirmation of the diagnosis of brain death can the procedure be performed. The most common is that it happens to people who suffer some kind of accident that causes head trauma, or who are victims of a stroke (stroke) and evolved to brain death. To understand the transplantation of the organs it is necessary to emphasize that the right to separate parts of the living or dead body integrate the personality, according to the understanding of Maria Helena Diniz (2006, p.249). Most of the time, organ transplantation may be the only life expectancy or the opportunity for a fresh start to about 40,000 patients waiting in the queue for Brazil. The gesture of family members who lose a loved one and decide to donate is an act of life, altruism and generosity, as a single donor can benefit at least ten people and make the difference between life and death. Brazil has the largest public transplant system in the world, responsible for financing about 95% of transplants. It is the second country in absolute number of transplants, behind only the United States.
Making dysfunctional municipalities functional: towards a framework for improving municipal service delivery performance in South African municipalities
Authors: Bester John
Published: October 2024

Local government is underpinned by the principle that finding sustainable ways to meet the needs of communities through service delivery matters. Post 1994, the South African government opted for a ‘developmental’ local government system as a way of addressing the socio-economic challenges of historically disadvantaged communities. However, the scholarly discourse on service delivery in South Africa repeatedly highlights disappointing municipal performance. This study examined the need for performance evaluation of municipal service delivery in South Africa. Using a mixed methods approach and purposive sampling to collect data from 36 municipal managers of dysfunctional municipalities, the findings revealed that municipal performance was not evaluated satisfactorily; service delivery backlogs persisted and the impacts of deficient services on communities were not evaluated by either municipalities or communities. These findings justify a need for an effective evaluation framework for measuring municipal performance to assist municipalities to identify service delivery challenges and promote necessary change and improvement.

Authors:   Department of	Ethnobotany, Institute of	Botany, Ilia State University, Tbilisi, Georgia., Mathew Sara
Published: October 2024

Heavy metal contamination poses a significant threat to plant growth and productivity, impacting agricultural systems and food safety. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal tolerance in plants is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate these effects. This review explores the latest advances in the molecular basis of heavy metal tolerance, including metal uptake, transport, sequestration, and detoxification. We discuss the roles of key genes, proteins, and signaling pathways involved in these processes, with a focus on phytochelatins, metallothioneins, and transporter proteins. Additionally, we highlight the genetic and biotechnological approaches used to enhance heavy metal tolerance in plants. Future research directions and potential applications for phytoremediation and sustainable agriculture are also addressed.

By analyzing recent advancements and their applications, this study provides a comprehensive overview of how modern crop science is addressing the challenges of food security and sustainable agriculture.
Relato de Experiência: Implementação de Ações de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional com Estudantes Universitários
Authors: Brignol Andressa Rodrigues
Published: October 2024

The transition to higher education is a phase marked by intense changes in lifestyle, including eating habits. University students' diets are affected by factors such as lack of time, academic pressures, work, and financial issues, often resulting in the choice of quick, ultra-processed foods. Lack of time and stress are aspects that hinder the maintenance of a healthy diet, leading to inadequate eating practices (SANTOS, 2014). Additionally, there is a significant relationship between psychological aspects and eating behavior. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders can directly influence individuals' nutritional status (FRANÇA et al., 2012). Since students face both academic and emotional challenges, the intersection between Nutrition and Psychology becomes an essential tool for promoting healthier eating habits and improving quality of life. This report describes the experience of implementing a Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) program with students from the Psychology course at the University Center of Brasília (UniCEUB), aiming to improve their eating habits and encourage reflection on their food choices. Furthermore, the importance of Health Surveillance in monitoring and promoting food and nutritional security among students will be addressed.
Sobre el automatismo y el escape de la libertad
Authors: Aguirre Franco Marcos de J.
Published: October 2024

Aunque la dinámica entre producción y consumo representa la actividad humana donde mejor se expresa su «automaticidad», es el beneficio económico un factor que obstaculiza la posibilidad de la consciencia. En este sentido, el consumo no es una «finalidad» sino el «medio» ideal para alcanzarla. La posición que ha adquirido el «procedimiento» económico (entendido como una «finalidad» civilizatoria) si bien, ha perfeccionado el automatismo y la predictibilidad del comportamiento de los seres humanos, a su vez ha mermado algunas de sus funciones superiores como la imaginación o la libertad creativa; de ahí la dificultad para dar respuesta a determinadas presiones ambientales.
Por los senderos de la mente: una apología mediática
Authors: García Hernández Rayner
Published: October 2024

En la sociedad de la información, todas las condiciones y características de la computadora, así como de los sistemas informáticos pasan a formar parte del ecosistema humano, debido a que la tecnología se constituyen como una extensión cosificada de la mente. Mediante la adición mecánica de accesorios que conforman elementos indispensables para la vida moderna, los sistemas técnicos y sus diversas aplicaciones tecnológicas han posibilitado una expansión de la mente humana hacia otros entornos sensoriales, y esto de manera productiva y receptiva hasta ciertos límites. Pues, las relaciones que establece el hombre con la técnica y la información en el mundo actual, son cada vez más individualizantes. Del mismo modo, estas relaciones se establecen en entornos sociales internacionalizados y globalizados. La transformación sociotécnica, que tiene lugar desde hace varias décadas, es de naturaleza profunda y multidimensional, porque involucra posibilidades, aspiraciones, intereses y comportamientos. En el artículo se propone un análisis sobre cómo el desarrollo de procedimientos técnicos ha influenciado los procesos cognitivos humanos y viceversa, dentro de las diversas esferas mediales y entornos mediáticos que conforman sus proyecciones en el mundo.

Nos adentraremos en las ideas de varios intelectuales católicos de la Isla que hacen valor esa eudaimonía griega signada por una fuerza del espíritu en medio de cualquier adversidad.
Sobre aceleración social y desinstitucionalización religiosa
Authors: Zavala Aránguiz Ignacio
Published: October 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar el fenómeno de la desafiliación institucional religiosa a través de los estudios de la religión vivida (lived religion), relacionándolo con la teoría de la aceleración social de Hartmut Rosa. Se argumenta que el componente aceleratorio de la modernidad descrito por Rosa influye en fenómenos como la creencia "a mi manera" y la desinstitucionalización de la experiencia religiosa. Este análisis se basa en una conceptualización de los principales supuestos de estos estudios, mostrando cómo la autonomización de la creencia, la reinterpretación de la esfera religiosa y la reducción de mediadores institucionales pueden explicarse al incluir la variable de la aceleración social. Integrando las premisas temporales de la modernidad según Rosa, se establece una relación con la tendencia aceleratoria de la modernidad a la creación de identidades situacionales y la distancia institucional, características de las expresiones religiosas en épocas seculares y postseculares.

Development of accurate and stable primary standard gas mixtures for global atmospheric acetonitrile monitoring: evaluating adsorption loss and long-term stability
Authors: Tsogt Baigali , Kang Ji Hwan , Oh Seok-Young , Lee Sangil
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Acetonitrile plays an important role in atmospheric processes and serves as a key tracer of biomass burning, the major emission source of primary carbonaceous particles and trace gases in the global atmosphere. Recognizing its significance, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) has designated acetonitrile as one of the target volatile organic compounds for global atmospheric monitoring, aiming for data quality better than 20 % accuracy and 15 % precision. Meeting the objectives of the WMO GAW program requires accurate and stable calibration standards with uncertainties of less than 5 %. In this study, we explored the feasibility of gravimetry for developing primary standard gas mixtures (PSMs) in three different types of aluminium cylinders, each with distinct internal surface treatments, at nmol mol-1 and µmol mol-1 levels with a relative expanded uncertainty of less than 5 %. We found that all three types of cylinders were inadequate, without further passivation, for developing acetonitrile PSMs below 10 nmol mol-1 due to significant adsorption losses (6 %–49 %) onto the cylinder's inner surface. To overcome this challenge, we prepared acetonitrile gas mixtures at 100 nmol mol-1 using a modified gravimetric method and at 10 µmol mol-1 using a conventional gravimetric method and then evaluated their long-term stability. Results showed that the effect of the adsorption loss at 100 nmol mol-1 and 10 µmol mol-1 was negated and negligible, respectively. Stability results show that we can disseminate acetonitrile calibration standards at both 100 nmol mol-1 and 10 µmol mol-1 with a relative expanded uncertainty of 3 % and 1 %, respectively (with an expiration period of 3 years), meeting the target uncertainty of the WMO GAW program. Further research is still needed to develop accurate and stable acetonitrile calibration standards below 10 nmol mol-1 that are closer to atmospheric levels.
Gap-filled subsurface mooring dataset off Western Australia during 2010–2023
Authors: Bui Toan , Feng Ming , Chapman Chris
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Coastal moorings allow scientists to collect long-term datasets valuable in understanding shelf dynamics, detecting climate variability and changes, and evaluating their impacts on marine ecosystems. Continuous time series data from moorings is often disrupted due to mooring losses or instrument failures, which prevents us from obtaining complete and accurate information on the marine environment. Here, we present an updated version of the 14-year subsurface mooring dataset off the southwest coast of Western Australia during 2010–2023 (https://doi.org/10.25919/myac-yx60, Bui and Feng, 2024). This updated dataset offers continuous daily temperature and current data with a 5-meter vertical resolution, collected from six coastal Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) moorings at depths between 48 m and 500 m. Self-Organizing Map (SOM) machine learning technique is applied to fill in the data gaps in the previous version. The usage of the in-filled data product is demonstrated by detecting sub-surface marine heatwaves on the Rottnest shelf. The data products can be used to characterise subsurface features of extreme events such as marine heatwaves, and marine cold-spells, influenced by the Leeuwin Current and the wind-driven Capes Current, and to detect long-term change signals along the coast.

Abstract. No-till (NT) cropping systems have been proposed as a strategy to combat soil degradation by storing soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN). We quantified the impacts of NT cropping systems on the changes in SOC and TN stocks and in particulate and mineral-associated organic matter fractions (POM and MAOM), to 100 cm depth, from three 13-year-old experiments in a tropical red Oxisol in Cambodia using diachronic and equivalent soil mass approaches. Established in 2009 and arranged in a randomized complete-block design with triplicates, the experiments included maize (MaiEx)-, soybean (SoyEx)-, and cassava (CasEx)-based cropping systems. Each experiment comprised three treatments: (1) mono-cropping of main crops (maize, soybean, and cassava) under conventional tillage (CTM); (2) mono-cropping of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTM); and (3) bi-annual rotation of main crops under NT systems with the use of cover crops (NTR), with both crops being presented every year and represented by NTR1 and NTR2. Soil samples were collected in 2021, 10 years after the last sampling. All the NT systems significantly (p<0.05) increased SOC stock in the topsoil in SoyEx and MaiEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. Considering the whole profile (0–100 cm), the SOC accumulation rates ranged from 0.86 to 1.47 and from 0.70 to 1.07 Mg C ha−1 yr−1 in MaiEx and CasEx, respectively. Although SOC stock significantly increased in CTM at 0–20 cm in MaiEx and CasEx, it remained stable at 0–100 cm in all the experiments. At 0–5 cm, NTR systems significantly increased TN stock in all the experiments, while, in NTM systems, it was only significant in MaiEx and SoyEx. At 0–100 cm, TN stock in all the experiments remained stable under NTR systems, whereas a significant decrease was observed under NTM systems in SoyEx and CasEx. Although C-POM stock significantly increased under all NT systems limited to 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, all the NT systems significantly increased C-MAOM stock in the 0–10 cm layer in MaiEx and SoyEx and down to 40 cm in CasEx. All the NT systems significantly increased N-POM stock at 0–10 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx, while a significant decreased in N-MAOM stock was observed below 5 cm in CasEx and below 40 cm in MaiEx and SoyEx. Our findings showed that long-term NT systems with crop species diversification accumulated SOC not only on the surface but also in the whole profile by increasing SOC in both the POM and MAOM, even in the cassava-based system. This study highlights the potential of NT systems for storing SOC over time but raises questions about soil N dynamics.

Authors: Sathyanarayana N. , Rao Dr.G. Laxmana
Published: October 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact on bank profitability, capital structure, and financial stability and trend analysis regarding non-performing assets [NPAs] performance in selected Indian public sector banks vis-à-vis that observed in private sector ones during fifteen years. Methodology: For this research, a quantitative methodological approach has been used, and for quantifiable data, annual reports from four select banks, which include two public sector banks [The Bank of Baroda, The State Bank Of India] as well as two private sector banks [ICICI Bank Ltd., Nainital bank], are analyzed for the period ranging 2008-09 to 2022-23. The analysis calculates Compound Annual Growth Rates [CAGR] and t-tests, Panel Regression models to determine the relationship between GNPA additions, reductions, and write-offs with closing balances. Findings: A major increase in GNPAs is observed in the research among Scheduled Commercial Banks. The public sector banks found an even larger dynamism in NPA growth rates than private sector banks, manifesting the fluctuation to a high degree. The study identifies GNPA addition, reduction, and write-off as key determinants of their respective closing balances. Even though there have been many policy initiatives, the public sector banks [PSBs] remain at a higher level of NPAs due to governance deficits and political interference. The effectiveness of these predictors on GNPA is also confirmed using the Random Effect Model, thus requiring improved risk management practices.

The primary objective of this paper is the practical testing of a multi-criteria rating methodology for assessing the competitiveness of business structures. This aims to evaluate critical functional areas of their operations and justify specific managerial decisions to ensure sustainable competitiveness. Maintaining the competitiveness of business structures becomes a primary task in the context of high uncertainty and competition, as well as the presence of crises and politico-economic problems. To achieve the set objective, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), developed by T. Saaty, was utilized. This practical method allows for multi-criteria comparisons using expert evaluations and calculations of eigenvectors and values, providing systematization and quantitative assessment of criteria and alternatives' priorities. AHP includes procedures for synthesizing multiple judgments and obtaining priorities, allowing for consideration of the 'human factor' in decision-making preparation. The study results demonstrate that the multi-criteria approach to rating the competitiveness of business structures effectively accounts for all areas of their activities and forms an adequate comprehensive measure of competitiveness. Within the study's framework, three business structures with different performance trends were analyzed. The comparative importance of criteria and sub-criteria for competitiveness assessment was determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process, considering the specifics of the business structures and their business activities. The proposed methodology for multi-criteria rating of business structures' competitiveness allows for a comprehensive assessment of their activities and justification of specific managerial decisions to ensure sustainable competitiveness. The use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process helps to consider the influence of various factors and conditions, contributing to a more objective assessment and strategic decision-making. The application of the proposed methodology is universal and can be effectively used in various sectors of business structures' activities, showcasing its adaptability.

Published: October 2024

This research explores the critical need for a holistic approach to LGBTQ+ inclusivity in school library services, moving beyond the traditional focus on collection development to address underexplored areas such as cataloguing practices, purchasing procedures, programming, policies, and community outreach. The school libraries often become a place of social stigma for LGBTQ+ students, and availability of fewer resources and institutional biases typically discourage them from accessing information and support from such libraries. For this purpose, this study will carry out research using a qualitative research design with the help of content analysis and case studies to identify the best practices and policies of selected school libraries in regard to addressing such matters. It sets much importance on cataloguing in such a way so that these LGBTQ+ resources, materials, etc. should be visible and accessible besides discussing budget limitations and community force behind acquiring the LGBTQ+ resources as a part of the library collection. This also emphasizes the requirement of an LGBTQ+ inclusive program with efficient community outreach that builds safe spaces for the student population LGBTQ+. The study further stresses the need for library policies and how librarians can become great advocates of LGBTQ+ rights and representation. A careful consideration of any aspect of library services described in this paper will help guide principles for making school libraries more inclusive and equitable. The implications are considered crucial for future research and practice, toward further development of library services to support the needs of LGBTQ+ students completely, which will enhance their well-being and academic success.

Agile and DevOps are now the preferred methods for satisfying the ever-changing demands for better software. Improvements in efficiency, adaptability, and collaboration are the aims of newly proposed solutions. It examines the impact of these factors on software development efficiency, focussing special attention to the ways in which they differ and complement one another. The focus of DevOps is continuous integration and delivery with operational automation, whereas Agile is on iterative improvement, consumer cooperation, and adaptation. Acquire an understanding of how these methods can be combined or utilised independently with the goal to achieve maximum performance in software tasks. One method that ranks the importance of factors including improvement velocity, quality, cooperation, and automation in relation to their impact on efficiency is the Multivocal Software Factor Prioritisation Development Approach (MSFPDA). By giving these considerations priority, this method integrates the most beneficial features of both methodologies. With the goal to maximise the stability, adaptability, automation, and scalability of both Agile and DevOps, MSFPDA employs comment looping structures, iterative workflows, and continuous monitoring. The simulation analysis is used by the granting studies to evaluate MSFPDA's performance in exceptional improvement circumstances. By identifying and prioritising critical components, MSFPDA can improve software program efficiency, according to this assessment. Blending Agile and DevOps presents a variety of issues, such as managing automation complexity, assuring non-stop delivering without sacrificing agility, and harmonising the team's tradition. This methodology for software enhancement has enormous ability, and the results of the simulations demonstrate how MSFPDA can be utilised in real-world scenarios, improving multiple processes.

The main aim of the study is to examine the financial inclusion of fisher folks in Kanyakumari district and determine the extent of financial literacy existing among them. The study was based on both primary and secondary data. The data was collected from various sources to study the different objectives. The secondary data was gathered from published documents, books, theses, journals, periodicals, newspapers, internet sources, other reports, Government offices, and others. The primary data was collected from the fisher folks in Kanyakumari district. All the four taluks of Kanyakumari district have been chosen for the collection of primary data. Judgment sampling method was used to select appropriate respondents for the study. Thus, the study includes a sample of 75 respondents in Kanyakumari district. Financial inclusion among fisher folks through commercial banks is found to be less than the national average. An analysis of the number of loans availed by fisher folks shows a grim picture. The financial products and services have to be made more responsive to the needs of fisher folks. At the same time, financial literacy programmes must be made effective to make the fisher folks self-reliant in financial management and financial commitments.
