The Weight of Our Words: Language and Teacher Agency from the Perspective of Gee’s ‘Cultural Models’
Authors:   University of Cambridge, Tiong Ngee Derk
Published: August 2021

In this article, I suggest that one way to enhance teacher agency is to practise greater linguistic awareness in our professional conversations. Based on a conceptual framework utilising the idea of ‘cultural models’ (everyday theories expressed in language) I analyse primary data of Malaysian English-language teachers’ meetings to show two ways in which they have an impact on practice and agency. Based on the evidence, I claim that cultural models [1] function as problem-framing devices and [2] can support transformations in practice. The data in this paper comes from audiovisual recordings of teacher meetings, generated as part of a larger study on teacher collaborative discourse in professional learning communities (PLC), with English-language teachers at Malaysian national secondary schools. Based on these findings, I argue that teacher agency defined as the capacity to make a difference in the context of teachers’ work—is partly a function of how teachers speak about the relevant domains of their practice, be they students, subject or pedagogy. This offers practitioners who wish to be more agentic in their practice some relevant points for reflection.

An Evaluation on Machinability Characteristics of Titanium and Nickel Based Superalloys Used in Aerospace Industry
Authors: YURTKURAN Hakan
Published: August 2021

Superalloys are a group of materials that are commonly used in aerospace applications and are also called high temperature materials, as they have superior wear and corrosion resistance. Ni-based superalloys are used more often than Ti alloys in the aerospace industry as they have mechanical and physical properties such as superior temperature resistance and toughness, high corrosion resistance, excellent fatigue and creep resistance. Ti alloys, on the other hand, have the highest strength / weight ratio among metals, increasing their preference in these industries continuously. Casting, forging, powder metallurgy and machining methods are used in the process of shaping machine parts used in the aviation industry from superalloys. However, many components are mostly manufactured using machining methods due to the part geometry, desired size and surface quality requirements. In this context, in the production of parts from Ti alloys and Ni-based superalloys, which are difficult to process, the correct selection or optimization of processing parameters is very important in terms of minimization of processing costs and therefore sustainable manufacturing. In this study, criteria such as cutting tool quality, tool life, surface integrity and cooling / lubrication technology, which have an important place in the machinability of titanium and nickel-based superalloys, have been compiled based on current literature studies.

Evaluating sheep as a large animal model in hearing & balance research
Authors: Suzuki-Kerr Haruna
Published: August 2021

Bioengineers WANTED! In this talk, we will share our ongoing research work and highlight some challenges in the field in hope to hear innovative solutions from ABI! Hearing loss affects 1.5 Billion people worldwide, majority of this caused by pathologies in the inner ear. There is no treatment that can effectively prevent or reverse the inner ear pathology. Key limitation in the field is the lack of clinical tools to deliver drugs to the inner ear, or to diagnose the inner ear pathologies of individual cases. We hope to contribute to solving these limitations by establishing the sheep as a large animal preclinical model suitable for developing new clinical tools for inner ear therapeutics. The aim of this study was to characterize the aspects of sheep cochlea to allow us to make comparison to those of human and rodents. We have combined imaging modalities (confocal microscopy, MRI and microCT) to characterized the geometry of cochlea and vestibular systems of sheep with the most focus on the round window, the membrane-covered opening and the presumed path for therapeutic agent to enter the cochlea. We are now using the sheep as the model platform to develop new drug delivery methodology.

ABSTRACT

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the craniocervical posture in adolescents with different malocclusions using a practical photographic posture analysis method.

Methods: Thirty-two adolescents (10-15 years) were recruited. The subjects were divided into three groups according to Angle Classification as Angle Class I (10 subjects), Angle Class II (12 subjects) and Angle Class III (10 subjects). Craniocervical postural assessments were conducted using a ‘photographic posture analysis’ method based on three substantial postural angles (sagittal head angle, cervical angle and shoulder angle).

Results: No statistically significant differences were detected between three groups (p>0.05), however, sagittal head and shoulder angles were signifacantly lower in the Class II and III groups when compared to Class I.

Conclusion: According to our results, by using the photographic method, no difference was detected in craniocervical posture in adolescents with different malocclusions.
Decision Making Capacity or How to Accept Patient’s Refusal for Orthodontic Treatment
Authors: Peeva Yulia Bogdanova
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Communication in dentistry is bilateral process which usually is based on response (understanding) by the person. That’s why the Oral Healthcare Providers (OHP) should be convinced the consent given by the patient is valid. It means that at the beginning of the treatment the orthodontist will ask a lot of questions and have expectations to receive appropriate answers. There is a specific lack of awareness about the first orthodontic consultation at 7y of age, occurrence and prevention of most of the common tooth jaw discrepancies which affect the oral health, self-confidence and overall development of the child. A variety of socio-demographic, educational, personal and other factors mostly divided into objective and subjective factors influences the perception of facial attractiveness. The orthodontic treatment lays down on the personal desire and attitudes, depends from the motivation but is not without a risk for the patient. The aim of the current research is to present the most objective and subjective factors identifying the patient’s refusal. Material and methods: It’s a case report based on preliminary discussion and orthodontic consultation over the cephalometric analysis and cast models. Orthodontic treatment protocol was followed and given informed consent by the individual was received. Results and discussions: An electronic search was conducted using the Medline database (PubMed), Science Direct, and Scopus. In this case report were described the treatment options for Class III malocclusion with an emphasis on maxillary protraction and existing impacted canine 13. The decision making capacity was evaluated and also what are the objective and subjective factors and how to proceed with patient refusal. Conclusions: Despite the orthodontist’s efforts to improve the management of the dental practice and to attract new patients, these challenges should never been from the first importance. Contemporary dentistry requires that the patient’s right to refuse should be respected and this refusal must be accepted. Because orthodontic treatment is expensive, the process of returning money or sharing responsibility for the treatment depend on the socio-cultural characteristics of both the patient and the doctor. The whole situation requires a very delicate approach, as it affects the image of the dental community in society at whole.

The pathogenicity reactions described in the sensitive genotypes of tomatoes and barley include specifically changes in the processes of meiotic division, with repercussions in the offspring of infected plants. The percentage of aberrant pollen mother cells (PMCs) in the offspring is at the level of control plants, while the percentage of aberrations per PMC and the frequency of meiotic conjugation are significantly higher. The consequences in meiotic division in virus free progenies reflect the destabilizing transgenerational effect of viral infection on microsporogenesis processes.

In the soybean cenosis (mainly the Aura variety) with a characteristic density (400-500 × 103 plants/ha), the dynamics of soil moisture in the years preceding the drought-2020 was studied. The main factor of drought-2020 is the low (about 100 mm lower than the average annual value) moisture accumulation in the soil before sowing for the autumn-spring 2019/2020, mainly due to low precipitation. An additional prerequisite for drought-2020 is a decrease in soil moisture (including deep soil layers) during harvesting in recent years, which is the reason for an additional deficit in a soil layer 0-100 cm of approximately 25 mm of water.

Métodos de reconstrucción filogenética II: inferencia bayesiana
Authors: Duchen Pablo
Published: August 2021

Phylogenetic reconstruction through Bayesian inference is currently widely used. The main advantage of this method is the direct output of posterior probabilities for each clade on the final phylogeny. Thus, it does not require bootstrapping as a measure of uncertainty. Moreover, Bayesian inference is perfectly fit for dating phylogenies through molecular clocks. In this paper, the basics of Bayesian inference applied to phylogenetic reconstruction are described, starting with an explanation of Bayes’ theorem. Then, the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to sample topologies from the posterior distribution is characterized and illustrated through a simple example. At the end, there is a mention of the software used for Bayesian phylogeny reconstruction.

We introduce mathematical notions used in phylogenetics and three sorts of phylogenetics polytopes. The Tight span and the Lipschitz polytope are both associated to finite metric spaces and can be connected to distance-preserving embeddings, while the balanced minimum evolution (BME) polytope is associated to natural numbers.

Wetland plays a vital role in sustainable ecological development. They hold balanced environment conditions and filter the surface and sub-surface water and moderate the local weather condition. But now-a-days wetlands are shrinking quickly all over world due to climate change & anthropogenic activities and extinction of wetlands agitates the local environmental conditions with contexts to water and soil conditions. This study is mainly focused on climate change impacts on wetland ecosystems over Harike and Keshopur wetland in Punjab region, India. Harike wetland is one of largest wetland in northern part of India, which is designated as Ramsar site. The Landsat imageries and climate parameters (includes land surface temperature and rainfall) have been used to extract spatial and temporal information over wetlands during period from 2009 to 2020. Landsat data have been analysed in two phases: Pre-monsoon and Post-Monsoon. Wetland area has been classified into five different classes: agriculture, water, built-up, aquatic vegetation1, and aquatic vegetation2. These analyses showed that wetland area has been reduced over a period of ten years and much area has been
converted in agricultural land and built-up. The intense anthropogenic activities have resulted more changes in the wetland over both regions. The present study specifies that wetland ecosystem monitoring is essential for policy makers for sustainable management and also concluded that the significant reduction of highly
biodiversity wetland area is required to conserve.

Water is important for living organisms on the Earth. Present development activities have put pressure on water resources. Groundwater is under more stress because of high exploitation for drinking, irrigation and industrial purposes. In the arid to semi-arid climatic zones groundwater is very important for sustaining day to day activities and agriculture and industrial purposes. The present study area Charkhi Dadri block in Charkhi Dadri district, Haryana was selected to 0 0 study groundwater quality for drinking purpose. The geo-coordinates of the study area are latitudes 28.49 N to 28.70 N
0 0 and longitudes 76.05 E to 76.47 E and covers an area of 396.57 sq. km. In the study area ten groundwater samples were collected in double capped 250 ml plastic bottles. Geo-coordinates of the sample locations were noted using mobile GPS. Chemical analysis of all the ten groundwater samples were done using Tamilnadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD), Chennai prepared Field Water Testing kit for twelve chemical parameters viz. pH, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, total dissolved solids (TDS), fluoride, iron, nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate and residual chlorine. Chemical analysis results were entered in excel software and prepared bar graphs. Result of groundwater samples analysis were compared with BIS (IS 10500:2012) drinking water standard to know the suitability of groundwater for drinking purpose. The study shows that pH ranges 7 to 8, alkalinity 200 mg/l to 450 mg/l, hardness 130 mg/l to 800 mg/l,
chloride 40 mg/l to 1200 mg/l, TDS 552 mg/l to 2820 mg/l, fluoride 0.5 mg/l to 5 mg/l, iron nil to 0.3 mg/l, ammonia nil to 1 mg/l, nitrite 0.2 mg/l to 1 mg/l, nitrate 45 mg/l to 100 mg/l, phosphate nil in all the ten groundwater samples and residual chlorine nil to 0.2 mg/l. The study is highly useful for planning and monitoring of groundwater for drinking purpose in the study area.

Los estudios sobre ecología trófica permiten comprender las funciones que cumplen las especies y el impacto que podría tener su desaparición o disminución en el ecosistema. Se analizaron 155 estómagos de Ariopsis guatemalensis obtenidos del Estero Salado de Guayaquil, se determinó el índice de repleción, la importancia relativa de las presas (%IIR), la estrategia alimenticia (índice de Levins y método gráfico de Amundsen et al) y el nicho trófico (TROPH) para ambos sexos; las hembras fueron clasificadas en 4 intervalos de tallas para determinar la diferencia en la dieta. Las hembras presentaron el 83 % de los estómagos llenos, mientras que, en los machos el 73 % se encontraron vacíos por eventos de maduración gonadal e incubación oral. En total se identificaron 18 ítems presas, siendo Penaeus vannamei (35,3 %) y Goniopsis sp. (32 %) las presas más importantes. Para las hembras P.vannamei y Goniopsis sp fueron las presas de mayor importancia y en machos lo fueron Goniopsis sp. y huevos de decápodos. Las tallas en hembras demostraron similitud (r ≥ 0,58) en la dieta, siendo P. vannamei, Goniopsis sp. y Ocypodidae sp. las más importantes de manera general; las demás presas son consumidas proporcionalmente evitando la competencia intraespecífica. El método TROPH determinó que A. guatemalensis es una especie carnívora de segundo y tercer nivel trófico, con estrategia de alimentación mixta para ambos sexos, siendo las hembras especialistas para P. vannamei y Goniopsis sp. y en machos Goniopsis sp. y huevos de decápodos (Ba<0,6).

A Shift in the United Nations Human Rights Committee’s Jurisprudence on Marriage Equality? An Analysis of Two Recent Communications from Australia
Authors: Roos Oscar I , Mackay Anita
Published: August 2021

The United Nations Human Rights Committee has not considered whether the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (‘ICCPR’) encompasses a right to marry a person of the same sex since 2002 in Joslin v New Zealand. In Joslin v New Zealand the Committee determined that the right to marry contained in article 23(2) of the ICCPR referred only to opposite-sex marriage, and it foreclosed any separate claim based on the general right of nondiscrimination contained in article 26 of the ICCPR. This article maintains that two recent communications to the Committee from Australia, C v Australia and G v Australia, prefigure a shift in the Committee’s jurisprudence on marriage equality. Although the Views adopted in 2017 by the Committee in each communication do not expressly disapprove of Joslin v New Zealand, on close analysis they support a re-interpretation of the right to marry which encompasses a right to marry a person of the same sex. In the alternative, in the event that the Committee continues to adhere to the Joslin v New Zealand interpretation of the right to marry, G v Australia and C v Australia support a determination that a State Party which fails to provide for marriage equality violates the article 26 right to non-discrimination.
