"For q > 1, let E be a q-uniformly smooth real Banach space with dual space E∗. Let A : E → E∗ be a Lipschitz and strongly monotone mapping such that A^{−1}(0) ̸= ∅. For given x_1 ∈ E, let {x_n} be generated iteratively by the algorithm : x_{n+1} = x_n − λJ^{−1}(Ax_n), n ≥ 1, where J is the normalized duality mapping from E into E∗ and λ is a positive real number choosen in a suitable interval. Then it is proved that the sequence {xn} converges strongly to x∗, the unique point of A^{−1}(0). Our theorems are applied to the convex minimization problem. Futhermore, our technique of proof is of independent interest."
La présence conceptuelle du CECR dans les curriculums de français de base du palier secondaire au Canada
Authors: Boucher Michaël , Vignola Marie-Josée
Published: March 2022

En 2001, l’Europe a créé le Cadre Européen Commun de Référence (CECR), en se basant sur l’approche actionnelle et le plurilinguisme, pour encadrer l’apprentissage, l’enseignement et l’évaluation des langues étrangères. Au Canada, le Conseil des ministres de l’Éducation du Canada (CMEC) a souhaité s’inspirer du CECR pour uniformiser les pratiques d’enseignement et d’évaluation des langues secondes (L2). Cet article se penche sur le degré d’intégration de l’approche actionnelle et du plurilinguisme dans les curriculums de français de base (Core French) provinciaux et territoriaux au Canada. Selon le modèle d’analyse documentaire de Van der Maren, nous observons que les curriculums de français de base canadiens intègrent tous des sous-concepts relatifs aux deux concepts du CECR. L’approche actionnelle y est sémantiquement plus représentée que le plurilinguisme.

Pour le moment, la meilleure explication aux origines du COVID-19 semble être que le virus s’est échappé de l’Institut de Virologie de Wuhan, où des scientifiques étaient engagés à créer de nouvelles chimères de type SARS et à surcharger potentiellement leur transmissibilité et leur pathogénicité.
Glacial flutings in bedrock, an observation in East Greenland
Authors:   Geologisk Museum, Funder Svend
Published: March 2022

Large scale glacial flutings cover an area of 4 X 1.5 km on the northern shore of Harefjord in the interior Scoresby Sund fjord complex. The flutings are modelled in coarse sandstone and conglomerates, a few small features are probably composed of till. The ridges measure up to 2000 m in length and 5 m in height and occur between 50 and 250 m above sea level in the gently sloping lowland area adjacent to the fjord. They were probably formed beneath the lateral part of the former Harefjord-Glacier which receded rapidly in the fjord and exposed the area at c. 7500 years BP. Large scale glacial flutings have not been recorded before in Greenland, but seem to be of common occurrence in parts of North America. They have probably been formed near the margin of actively moving glaciers, and secondary flow in the basal ice may have played an important role.
Morphology and movements of nearshore sediments in a non-tidal environment, K0ge Bugt, · Denmark
Authors:   Laboratorium for Geomorfologi, Geografisk Centralinstitut, Nielsen Niels , Nielsen Jørgen ,   Laboratorium for Geomorfologi, Geografisk Centralinstitut
Published: March 2022

On a non-tidal, medium- to fine-grained sandy coast, the morphology and material budget in the littoral zone - primarily on the nearshore terrace and the shoreface - have been analysed ori the basis of 65 detailed maps surveyed in a permanent grid for a period of two months. Simultaneously, records were made of wind, water, and waves. The map drawings and the calculations of variations in sediment volumes were made by EDP. The investigations showed that the nearshore bar might be built up during high as well as low waterle­vels, initiated either by a small breakpoint bar or a swash bar. The observed nearshore bar moved landward up to 30 cm per hour during periods with onshore winds and during constant water-levels and/or constant wind speeds. Analyses of the material budget showed that variations in volume ( down to minus 1 m) were mainly due to profile adjustments. Especially noteworthy was that, after a gale, the quantities of sediments supplied were larger than those removed from the area during the gale. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the total quantity of material of the inshore and the beach by and large remained constant in spite of obvious occurrences of nearshore bars migrating towards the coastline during the investigation period. Only an extraordinary gale situation was able to add permanent material to the barrier.
A large till wedge in Denmark: implications for the subglacial thermal regime
Authors:   Depanment of Geography, Laboratory of Geomorphology, University of Copenhagen, Humlum Ole
Published: March 2022

A subglacial till intrusion in meltwater sediments is described from a locality in southern Denmark. The structure is interpreted as a large till wedge, developed during glacier flow from the southeast. The intrusion seems to have occurred at a time when the glaciofluvial sediments were unfrozen. The possibility of development of till wedges in frozen sediments is discussed.

The position of the augite syenite and pulaskite in the Ilimaussaq intrusion, South Greenland
Authors:   lnstitut for Petrologi, Sørensen Henning
Published: March 2022

The augite syeni1e is generally recogni?.ed as the earliest intrusive phase of 1he llimaussaq intrusion. 1l has been proposed that the agpaitic nepheline syenitcs. which constitute the major part of the intrusion, are products of in siiu differentiation of a primary augite syenitic magma. Recent field and laboratory investi­ga1ions demonstrate. however. thal there was a clear break between the consolidation of the augite sycnite and the emplacemem of the agpaitic rocks. The latter have most probably formed from a second pulse of magma injection and have been cmplaced by spalling off of rafts of augite syenilc and other rocks from the walls and roof of the chamber.
Recent bottom sediments in Agf ardlikavsa and Qaumarujuk fiords near Marmorilik, West Greenland
Authors:   GGU, Bondam Jan
Published: March 2022

As part of an environmental background sampling program, carried out prior to the disposal of tailings from the lead-zinc concentration plant at Mlirmorilik into Agfardlikavsli, the recent bottom sediments of the fiord system around the township have been subjected to detailed analysis as to grain size distribution, mineral content and the distribution of certain trace elements. Meltwater streams from the nearby Inland Ice margin and from local glaciers carry finegrained primary mineral detritus into the adjacent fiords, in three different depositional environments. The bottom sediments can be correlated to the surrounding bedrock. The distribution pattern of a number of trace elements in the bottom sediments is partly related to their mineral content, partly to selective sorption processes which take place in the marine environment.
Compositional variations of the pyroxenes from three flows of Faeroe Islands basalts
Authors:   Institute of Mineralogy, University of Copenhagen, Jensen Aage
Published: March 2022

08 The pyroxenes from one flow from the lower lava series, one from the middle, and one from the upper lava series of the Faeroe Islands have been investigated by microprobe. The flow from the lower series has augite as the only pyroxene, the flow from the middle series has bronzite as phenocrysts and augite and pigeonite, and the flow from the upper series has augite and pigeonite. 30 analyses of these pyroxenes are presented, comprising eight elements: Si, Ti, Al, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca and Na, and the formulae based on four cations are calculated. Variations in major elements are shown in figs. 2-8; in these diagrams are also used the results of 116 partial analyses, comprising only Mg, Fe and Ca. The variations in minor elements and their distribution between augites and Ca-poor pyroxenes are discussed. In a MnO-TiO,-Na,-O diagram (Nisbet & Pearce 1977), the augites plot mainly in the ocean-floor basalt field, but a number of analyses fall in the field common to all the basalt types. F,-F, values (Nisbet & Pearce 1977) correspond partly to the field where ocean-floor basalts and within-plate tholeiites overlap, and partly to the field where ocean-floor and volcanic arc basalts overlap.

Applied Study of Rasa and Raktasarata w.s.r. to Intelligent Quotient: A Survey
Authors: Pancholi Nisha , Sharma Dr Babita
Published: March 2022

Background: Dhatu Sarata is defined as the supreme quality & functional aspect of Dhatu. (2) Chakrapani described it as "Vishuddhatara Dhatu," which means the finest, purest & excellent state of Dhatu. It is the actual test to measure an individual's strength (physical and mental). On the other hand, Intelligence is a feature that is defined to describe a person's cognitive abilities concerning their Sarata. Aim: The Present study primarily deals with intelligence quotient (IQ) & its correlation with Dhatu Sarata through questionnaires & assessments with special reference to Rasa and Rakta Sarata. Material & methods: The present survey (Observational) study was conducted on apparently healthy individuals randomly selected from O.P.D/I.P.D. of Pt. Khushilal Sharma Government (Autonomous) Ayurvedic College and Institute, Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), including students and staff of the college and people living in the surrounding areas. All the volunteers who have Rasa or Rakta Sarata evaluated by Ayursoft software were further assessed for IQ with the help of the Wechsler Adult intelligence scale online test with 20 questions. A non-parametric test (Spearman Correlation) was used to explore the correlation between the two variables, i.e., Rasa Sarta &IQ and Rakta Sarta & IQ, as at least one of the variables. Result & observations: Out of 300 individuals, a total of 290 persons were found to be of Rasa Sara and Rakta Sara. There was a moderate correlation between Rasa Sarata & IQ, while Rakta Sarta and IQ showed a strong positive correlation. These positive findings obtained through this study validate the classical reference about the clinical manifestation of Rasa & Rakta Dhatusarata. Conclusion: Furthermore study can be carried out to find out its relationship with recent laboratory parameters. All remaining Dhatu Sarata can also be studied & compared with IQ level.

Their various political and economic policies had a deep influence on Indian economyand the social structure of India. This article aims to throw light on the policies and action of Britishers that encouraged the spirit of nationalism in India.As such, Mahatma Gandhi's influence on the freedom movement, the concept of Sarvodaya and Swaraj, constructive programs,etc. has been discussed as a Gandhian way of Indian Nationalism. Secondary data has been used as a source. Amajor objective of this paper is to analyze and explain the emergence of nationalism in India and to discuss Indian Nationalism through a Gandhian perspective. This paper argues that Indian Nationalism gained impetusand a new direction after the advent of Mahatma Gandhi.

Published: March 2022

Gifted students differ significantly with their peers in cognitive aspects, emotional and psychological aspects, and learning style. A planned talent development program can help them to reach at their highest potential. At present there are various talent development programs exist but they are not uniform in the structure. Therefore, a systematic review of journal articles on gifted education and talent development was done to understand the structure and components of gifted education program. The following journals; Roeper Review, Journal for the Education of the Gifted, Gifted Education International, Journal for the Education of the Gifted, Gifted Child Quarterly, Gifted Child Today, Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, Journal of Advanced Academics, Journal for the Education of Gifted Young Scientists, and cogent education were reviewed from online data bases like Research gate, Google scholar, and Academia. Articles focused on talent development published from 2011 to 2020 are considered for review. The review was conducted to develop an insight and generate the themes about gifted education that cater the need of talented at school and out-of-school. The emerged themes would be helpful in developing an efficient and multifaceted talent development program. Implication of the reviewed researches are discussed which will be helpful for policy development and program development for gifted and talented.

Authors: Alam Aftab
Published: March 2022

The present paper aims to discuss the effect of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the problems caused especially to the students across the world. The primary purpose of this paper is to highlight the problems faced by students due to this pandemic. COVID-19 broke out in mid-month of December 2019 in Wuhan, China in a few months spread all over the world like electricity. WHO declared this virus as pandemic and students like other individuals are facedwithdifferentacute problems such as physiological, psychological, social, socio-economic, socio-emotional, medical and healthcare, safety and security and primarily educational. The increasing cases of this pandemic and deaths all over the world have also created fear among students.Moreover, social distancing, isolation and quarantine have also increased their fear to the extent that cases of suicide are being reported. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the whole education system and led to the closing of all schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions. This virus has severely affected all stakeholders of these institutions, also including billions of students in the world. Since students face various other problems apart from the ones mentioned, they find it difficult to cope with the situation emerging out of the pandemic. On the top of it, the world was not fully prepared to face such pandemic.
JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCESAN EXPLORATORY CONTEXT EVALUATION
Authors: Singh Adbhut P. , Tripathi Vivek Nath
Published: March 2022

The Junior Research Fellowship scheme has been running since 1984 in the country and is providing opportunities to research scholars to pursue their career as researchers. In the present paper, the researchers aimed to understand why the scheme was implemented, what were the objectives of the scheme, how are the goals and objectives of the scheme are perceived by the stakeholders, and what are the changes in the context of the scheme which calls for amelioration of the objectives. Sequential explanatory transformative mixed method research design was employed and a survey with 240 participants and interview of 13 participants were used to identify the related themes. These themes were then interpreted using realist evaluation technique of context-mechanism-outcome configurations (CMOCs). On the basis of these CMOCs, it was found that the JRF scheme has been implemented so as to enhance the efficiency of research community and in enhancing research output. However, it was also found that the scheme is not able to impose standardization and comparability of the research output produced. Facilitation of the services for research fellows, quality assurance of research output, providing opportunity to pursue PhD, capacity building for national research strength, and providing financial freedom to research fellows are the major perceived goals and objectives of the scheme. The scheme led to higher enrolments under the research programmes. However, the retention of such fellows and the dropout rates or change in the mode of PhD from regular to part-time still remains to be the unresolved issues.

CULTURAL CONFLICT AND WEST AS THE EXOTIC “OTHER”: A STUDY IN MULK RAJ ANAND’S ACROSS THE BLACK WATERS
Authors: Ilhaam Saleha
Published: March 2022

Exoticism has been an exciting field of study for national literature scholars. The prefixExo, in a general sense, includes all that lies outside the totality of an individual’squotidian events, everything that is not included in the usual "Mental Tonality." For the West, the antediluvian exotic Eastern world or the Orient has always been characterized by pleasure-seeking, temporal and material interest. At the same time, home is considered as the manifestation of rationality. The picture of the West in the mind ofthe East isalso similar. Mulk Raj Anand’s Bildungsroman, Across the Black Waters, is an extended work of fiction that gives an intriguingly different view of the Great War in twentieth-century Anglophone Indian Literature. The novel, in essence, is only episodically concerned with the scenery of the battlefield, which are at most times restricted to the bounds of the narrative line.Lalu’s pioneering venture across the ocean from his traditional caste-governed village is a way to perceivethe conflicts of culture and various origins of exploitation. By reversing the conventional use of the word exotic, this paper aims to study the undepicted experiences of Lalu, which leads him to an Eastern journey of political self-education and self-discovery in the exotic West.

DEMOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCES MATTER ON JOB OUTCOMES: PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRACT’S MEDIATING ROLE
Authors: Altunoğlu Ali Ender , Kocakula Özge , Özer Ayşe
Published: March 2022

Purpose – Drawing upon prior researches on the social exchange theory, we examine the effect of employee demographic variables on psychological contract fulfillment, which eventually influences employee’s job satisfaction, intention to leave, organizational citizenship behavior, cynicism, and task performance.
Research methodology – Data from 274 employees of different manufacturing enterprises has been collected through the survey. Description and interpretation statistics are used through SPSS and also AMOS. Structural equality modeling is used to assess the psychological contract’s mediating function.
Findings – Data analysis shows that psychological contract fulfillment mediated positive relationships between demographic variables and constructive job outcomes; in contrast, mediated negative relationships between demographic variables and destructive job outcomes.
Research limitations – This paper applies data from the manufacturing industry operating in Turkey, which may prevent the generalizability of the paper. More study is needed to confirm these results on different samples in order to generalize findings. In addition, the data comes from a single source, raising the risk of common technique bias, and is focused solely on self-reports.
Practical implications – The study suggests that organizations review and revise their ideas on the exchange connection with their workforce as job outcomes of employees are connected to PC fulfillment. In practice, managers and leaders may highlight that such fulfillment constitutes an investment of resources into and a long-term commitment to the employee in addition to satisfying relational responsibilities. Leaders should place a strong emphasis on increasing employee commitment levels. Creating a culture of trust and loyalty fosters beneficial behavioral and attitudinal results among employees.
Originality/Value – This study investigated psychological contract fulfilment’s mediator effect on the relationship between demographic differences and job outcomes.

We report on the design and performance of the Bicep3 instrument and its first three-year data set collected from 2016 to 2018. Bicep3 is a 52 cm aperture refracting telescope designed to observe the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on degree angular scales at 95 GHz. It started science observation at the South Pole in 2016 with 2400 antenna-coupled transition-edge sensor bolometers. The receiver first demonstrated new technologies such as large-diameter alumina optics, Zotefoam infrared filters, and flux-activated SQUIDs, allowing ∼10× higher optical throughput compared to the Keck design. Bicep3 achieved instrument noise equivalent temperatures of 9.2, 6.8, and 7.1

A tidal disruption event (TDE) involves the shredding of a star in the proximity of a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The nearby (≈230 Mpc) relatively radio-quiet, thermal-emission-dominated source AT2019dsg is the first TDE with a potential neutrino association. The origin of nonthermal emission remains inconclusive; possibilities include a relativistic jet or a subrelativistic outflow. Distinguishing between them can address neutrino production mechanisms. High-resolution very long baseline interferometry 5 GHz observations provide a proper motion of 0.94 ± 0.65 mas yr−1 (3.2 ± 2.2 c; 1σ). Modeling the radio emission favors an origin from the interaction between a decelerating outflow (velocity ≈0.1 c) and a dense circumnuclear medium. The transition of the synchrotron self-absorption frequency through the observation band marks a peak flux density of 1.19 ± 0.18 mJy at 152.8 ± 16.2 days. An equipartition analysis indicates an emission-region distance of ≥ 4.7 × 1016 cm, magnetic field strength ≥ 0.17 G, and number density ≥ 5.7 × 103 cm−3. The disruption involves a ≈2 M
⊙ star with a penetration factor ≈1 and a total energy output of ≤ 1.5 × 1052 erg. The outflow is radiatively driven by the accretion of stellar debris onto the SMBH. Neutrino production is likely related to the acceleration of protons to peta-electron-volt energies and the availability of a suitable cross section at the outflow base. The present study thus helps exclude jet-related origins for nonthermal emission and neutrino production, and constrains nonjetted scenarios.
Global Structure and Dominant Particle Acceleration Mechanism of the Heliosheath: Definitive Conclusions
Authors: Fisk L. A. , Gloeckler G.
Published: March 2022

During its exploration of the heliosheath, the region that lies between the termination shock of the solar wind and the heliopause that separates the solar wind from the local interstellar medium, the Voyager 1 spacecraft (V1) in 2012 encountered an apparent boundary where there was a precipitous decrease in energetic particles accelerated in the heliosheath, the so-called anomalous cosmic rays (ACRs), and from the occasional plasma density measurements on V1, a density comparable to the expected density in the interstellar medium. In 2013, the Voyager principal investigators announced that this apparent boundary was the heliopause and that V1 had entered the interstellar medium. In 2014, Fisk & Gloeckler presented a detailed model that demonstrated that the apparent boundary was simply an internal surface within the heliosheath, across which compressed solar wind flows and will continue to flow until it encounters the actual heliopause. There is compelling observational evidence that the model of Fisk & Gloeckler for the nose region of the heliosheath is correct: V1 did not cross the heliopause in 2012 and is not now in the interstellar medium. There is also compelling observational evidence that the ACRs are accelerated in the heliosheath by the pump acceleration mechanism of Fisk & Gloeckler. The success of the models of Fisk & Gloeckler confirms that the plasma in the nose region of the heliosheath consists of two separate components, the pickup ions and ACRs, and the thermal solar wind, and as a unique plasma is worthy of more study and, if possible, more exploration.

Both NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the JAXA/NASA Hinode mission include spectropolarimetric instruments designed to measure the photospheric magnetic field. SDO’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) emphasizes full-disk, high-cadence, and good-spatial-resolution data acquisition while Hinode’s Solar Optical Telescope Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT-SP) focuses on high spatial resolution and spectral sampling at the cost of a limited field of view and slower temporal cadence. This work introduces a deep-learning system, named the Synthetic Inversion Approximation (SynthIA), that can enhance both missions by capturing the best of each instrument’s characteristics. We use SynthIA to produce a new magnetogram data product, the Synthetic Hinode Pipeline (SynodeP), that mimics magnetograms from the higher-spectral-resolution Hinode/SOT-SP pipeline, but is derived from full-disk, high-cadence, and lower-spectral-resolution SDO/HMI Stokes observations. Results on held-out data show that SynodeP has good agreement with the Hinode/SOT-SP pipeline inversions, including magnetic fill fraction, which is not provided by the current SDO/HMI pipeline. SynodeP further shows a reduction in the magnitude of the 24 hr oscillations present in the SDO/HMI data. To demonstrate SynthIA’s generality, we show the use of SDO/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly data and subsets of the HMI data as inputs, which enables trade-offs between fidelity to the Hinode/SOT-SP inversions, number of observations used, and temporal artifacts. We discuss possible generalizations of SynthIA and its implications for space-weather modeling.

Published: March 2022

The Cabadbaran River Irrigation System (CabRIS) supports about 3,212 hectares of farmland for irrigation. Unfortunately, the local irrigation office reported that only a small percentage of its entire service area was irrigated during the past cropping seasons. The water yield has been dwindling; hence an irrigation system management plan will address the water resource crisis. As a project component, the team carried out a floristic assessment for the entire watershed. The study used the quadrat-transect sampling method to assess and characterize the structure and species composition of the riparian areas of the main Cabadbaran River, Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte, Philippines. Results recorded about 109 morpho-species belonging to 46 families and 88 genera from the sampling sites. Nineteen species were listed either on the Philippine Red List and or on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The result of the plant diversity assessment revealed that biodiversity in riparian forests in the watershed was low to very low due to the massive rampant disturbance in the area. The riparian ecosystem of the Cabadbaran River represents a fragile ecosystem that is threatened by increasing demands on the regional water supply and the conversion of lands into tree plantations and agriculture. Addressing these driving forces causing biodiversity loss will impart a significant challenge for irrigation and land managers in the region.

Bacillus siamensis LDR was tested for its potential as a biocontrol agent against the phytopathogenic fungi Curvularia lunata BM and Ganoderma sp. TB4. Fermentation of B. siamensis LDR for the production of antifungal compound was performed in modified Czapex-Dox broth using hanjeli (Coix lacryma-jobi L.) starch as carbon source. The Bacillus siamensis LDR inoculum was 105 CFU/ mL, and fermentation was conducted for up to 16 days. Antibiosis assay conducted to test the antifungal activity of filtrate medium. The results showed inhibition of C. lunata BM and Ganoderma sp. TB4 were 47.08% and 85.99%, respectively on 14th day of fermentation. Antifungal assay of the crude extract from filtrate medium revealed growth inhibition of C. lunata BM (60.70%) and Ganoderma sp. TB4 (65.25%). Thin layer chromatography of the crude extract revealed pink-colored spots indicative of lipopeptide compounds. Analysis of the crude extract by ultraperformance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was tentatively identified as iturin A, bacillomycin F, and surfactin.
Diversity of Mulgedio-Aconitetea communities in the Sudetes Mts. (SW Poland) in the Central European context
Authors: Świerkosz Krzysztof , Reczyńska Kamila
Published: March 2022

Aims: To describe the compositional and ecological diversity of Mulgedio-Aconitetea communities in the Sudetes Mts. and their foothills. Study area: The Sudetes Mts. (Southwestern Poland). Methods: A total of 399 vegetation relevés from own field studies and the literature were sorted into groups that match the higher syntaxa of the EuroVegChecklist and associations described in the literature. Diagnostic species of the so delimited associations were determined with the phi-coefficient of association, and maps of the associations produced. Direct ordination methods were applied to identify the main environmental gradients shaping the plant communities. Results: We distinguished nine associations, belonging to four alliances: submontane and colline communities (Petasition officinalis: Geranio phaei-Urticetum dioicae, Petasitetum hybridi, Chaerophyllo hirsuti-Petasitetum albi, Prenanthetum purpureae), upper montane nitrophilous communities (Rumicion alpini: Rumicetum alpini); subalpine communities with a dominance of graminoids and ferns (Calamagrostion villosae: Poo chaixii-Deschampsietum cespitosae, Crepido conyzifoliae-Calamagrostietum villosae, Athyrietum filicis-feminae) and subalpine tall-herb communities (Adenostylion alliariae: Cicerbitetum alpinae). Altitude, light availability, and bedrock type, which determines nutrient availability and soil reaction, played an important role in differentiating the studied communities. Conclusions: For convenience, we placed the four alliances in four separate orders as in the EuroVegChecklist. The fact that our ordination diagram separated only two main groups suggests the need of further research in this matter.

Cirrhilabrus finifenmaa (Teleostei, Labridae), a new species of fairy wrasse from the Maldives, with comments on the taxonomic identity of C. rubrisquamis and C. wakanda
Authors: Tea Yi-Kai , Najeeb Ahmed , Rowlett Joseph , Rocha Luiz A.
Published: March 2022

Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis is redescribed on the basis of the juvenile holotype and compared to known species of Cirrhilabrus. Examination of material from the Maldives identified as C. rubrisquamis reveal differences from the holotype collected from the Chagos Archipelago. Consequently, the Maldivian specimens are herein described as Cirrhilabrus finifenmaasp. nov., on the basis of the holotype and twelve paratypes. The new species differs from all congeners in having: males with anterior third to half of body bright magenta, peach to orange-pink posteriorly; lateral line with 22–26 pored scales (16–18 in the dorso-anterior series, 6–8 in the posterior peduncular series); tenth to eleventh dorsal-fin spine longest (14.0–15.5% SL); scales on the opercle, chest, isthmus, and anterior third of the body with a dark purple-red central region (purple in alcohol), the markings joining appearing crosshatched; dorsal, caudal, anal, and pelvic-fin rays purple in alcohol. Meristic details and coloration patterns of C. rubrisquamis are very similar to C. wakanda from Tanzania, Africa, although synonymy of both species cannot be determined without additional material from Chagos. This potential synonymy is briefly discussed; however, until such material becomes available, the taxonomic statuses of C. wakanda and C. rubrisquamis are here provisionally regarded as valid.

A new species of Phalotris from the nasutus group, Phalotris shawnellasp. nov., is described. It can be distinguished from the other members of the group by having the following combination of characters: 1) fifth supralabial in contact with parietal, 2) vertebral stripe present, 3) yellowish nuchal collar (2 or 3 dorsal scales long), 4) dull reddish color of head, 5) broad, solidly or near solidly dark, lateral bands, 6) red-orange ventral scales lightly and irregularly spotted with black mainly on the posterior half of the body and 7) a bilobed, extremely asymmetrical hemipenis, with enlarged, curved, lateral spines. The species is only known from a recent specimen collected in the Cerrado zone of northeastern Paraguay at Rancho Laguna Blanca, San Pedro department, and two photographic records of live specimens from this and an additional locality. Limited ecological data based on observations of a captive individual, and a wild record, are provided, and a conservation assessment is performed for this extremely limited range Paraguayan endemic snake.
A Novel Approach to Fostering Academic-Practice Partnerships: The DNP Project Executive Summary
Authors: Diegel-Vaceka Lauren , Yonkaitis Catherine F.
Published: March 2022

Background:

Practice partnerships are vital to academic nursing for opportunities for robust student clinical experiences. The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) scholarly project provides benefits for both students and practice partners; however, traditional academic dissemination methods such as student posters and publications are not internal communication formats used by practice partners.

Method:

An assignment was developed for DNP students to write an executive summary of the completed scholarly project for their practice-partner organization stakeholders.

Results:

Students used business writing skills to develop a one-page document summarizing the implementation and results of their project for a document applicable to the business of health care.

Conclusion:

Incorporating an executive summary of the DNP scholarly project emphasizes the value of student-led initiatives to organizations and can strengthen academic-practice partnerships. This innovative approach to dissemination of outcomes delivers a practical business communications document that is valuable to practice mentors and organizational leaders.
