A Call for Critical Bifocality: Research on Marginalization in Mathematics Education
Authors: Chen Grace A. , Horn Ilana S.
Published: January 2022

Education researchers have long wrestled with the interplay of oppressive structures and individual agency in reproducing, sustaining, and contesting marginalization. In this article, we suggest that Weis and Fine’s construct of critical bifocality may assist researchers in understanding and addressing marginalization in mathematics education. We conduct a conceptual review of existing mathematics education literature that accounts for both structure and agency in theorizing marginalization. By reading this literature alongside Weis and Fine’s 2012 article, we develop four criteria for operationalizing critical bifocality in mathematics education research. The findings from this review highlight the interconnectedness of structures and individual lives, of the material and ideological elements of marginalization, of intersectionality and within-group heterogeneity, and of histories and institutions. Additionally, they offer theoretical and methodological recommendations for researchers studying marginalization in mathematics education.
APPLYING OF FALLED LEAVES IN PRODUCTION OF FUEL BRIQUETTES
Authors: Grigorov A.B. , Tokarev М.О. , Polishchuk M.Yu , Zharova O.V.
Published: January 2022

The possibility has been considered of obtaining of fuel briquettes as an alternative biofuel based on fallen leaves (such tree species as oak and maple) and starch. The starch (a binder) content at the level of 10-30 % allows to produce of the briquettes using a screw press at a pressure of up to 15 MPa. The process of fuel briquettes obtaining from fallen leaves and starch included the following successive stages: collection of raw materials; preparation; averaging; mixing; pressing; drying and the testing of the product properties. At the last stage, the appearance of the obtained briquettes has been evaluated, and then their density (ρ, kg/m3 ), strength (P, MPa), working heat of combustion (Q, MJ/kg) and storage conditions have been determined. Evaluation of the appearance of briquettes showed that the correct geometric shape had those briquettes in which the weight content of the starch was in the range of 20-25 % to leaves weight. It was found out that the maximum value of briquette density (580 kg/m3 ) and compressive strength (4,8 MPa) is observed in the fuel briquettes which contained 25 % of starch. That is, this concentration can be considered optimal for this technology for the production of fuel briquettes. At the same time, the increase of starch content in the fuel briquette leads to an increase its working heat of combustion, which at a starch content of 25 % reached the value of 17.8 MJ/kg. It has been fixed that the influence of temperature (storage at 80 °C for 6 h) or temperature differences (from -10 to 25-30 °C) practically does not affect the form and properties of fuel briquettes obtained from fallen leaves. And the stay of briquettes in a humid environment, on the contrary, leads to its swelling, and, as a consequence, to the impairment of properties. Keywords: fuel briquettes, leaves, starch, pressing, density, strength, heat of combustion, storage conditions. Corresponding author A.B. Grigorov, e-mail: grigorovandrey@ukr.net

A perspective on the therapeutic potential of Moringa oleifera and its metabolites against emerging COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Hannan Md. Abdul , Uddin Md Jamal
Published: January 2022

As the pathobiology of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has been complicated by pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and respiratory illness to which inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune dysfunction are critically implicated, natural products with multitargeted pharmacological actions, including anti-inflammation, antioxidation and immunomodulation hold promise in the management of this emerging global pandemic. In this perspective, we aimed at highlighting the pleiotropic medicinal potentials of the miracle herb Moringa oleifera and its secondary metabolites that may benefit patients with COVID-19 and discuss the plausible mechanisms underlying the protection against pathobiology of COVID-19 comorbidities. Online databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science were accessed to retrieve literature using the search keywords, including Moringa oleifera, diabetes, CVD, obesity, neurological disorders, and COVID-19. Evidence from preclinical and clinical studies have suggested that M. oleifera and its secondary metabolites are effective as antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory agents. Evidence also claims that COVID-19 comorbidities can be managed through M. oleifera-based therapy. Furthermore, in silico identification of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro-based antiviral agents such as isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and apigenin from the secondary metabolites of M. oleifera has raised the possibility of developing potential therapeutic lead against COVID-19. Despite having antiviral efficacy, this information is only predictive against SARS-CoV-2 and therefore calls for further validation through preclinical and clinical investigations. This review provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms that may underlie the pleiotropic pharmacological actions of M. oleifera against the pathobiology of COVID-19 and comorbidities.

Mechanical properties of the developing brain are associated with language input and vocabulary outcome
Authors: Schneider Julie M. , McIlvain Grace , Johnson Curtis
Published: January 2022

The quality of language that children hear in their environment is associated with the development of language-related brain regions, in turn promoting vocabulary knowledge. Although informative, it remains unknown how these environmental influences alter the structure of neural tissue and subsequent vocabulary outcomes. The current study uses magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to examine how children’s language environments underlie brain tissue mechanical properties, characterized as brain tissue stiffness and damping ratio, and promote vocabulary knowledge. Children, ages 5-7, had their audio and video recorded while engaging in a play session with their parents. Children also completed the Picture Vocabulary Task (NIH Toolbox) and participated in an MRI, where MRE and anatomical images were acquired. Higher quality input was associated with greater stiffness in the bilateral IFG and left temporal gyrus, whereas greater vocabulary knowledge was associated with lower damping ratio in the right IFG. These findings suggest changes in neural tissue composition are sensitive to malleable aspects of the environment, whereas tissue organization is more strongly associated with vocabulary outcome. Notably, these associations were independent of maternal education, suggesting more proximal measures of a child’s environment may be the source of differences in neural tissue structure underlying variability in vocabulary outcomes.
Development and Initial Validation of the Betrayal Blindness Questionnaires (BBQs): Past Memory, Current Memory, and Rotating Betrayal Blindness Questionnaires
Authors: Gómez Jennifer M. , Zounlome Nelson , Noll Laura K.
Published: January 2022

Emerging adults of Color are at increased risk for interpersonal trauma, including physical, sexual, and emotional abuse (Porter & Williams, 2011). Understanding victims’ awareness of the existence and impact of their own trauma history is important for research and clinical work. However, because of trauma awareness processes (e.g., underreporting), it is challenging to accurately measure awareness of trauma. Based on betrayal trauma theory (Freyd, 1996), the concept of rotating betrayal blindness theorizes that awareness of past trauma may shift across contexts and time (Noll & Gómez, 2013). The purpose of the current study is to provide an initial validation of the Betrayal Blindness Questionnaires (BBQs) among a sample of emerging adults of Color with trauma histories using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). With its three questionnaires assessing past memory (PM-BBQ), current memory (CM-BBQ), and rotating betrayal blindness (R-BBQ), the BBQs measure the past and present impact of traumatic events, as well as how this impact may vary according to the theory of rotating betrayal blindness. Participants (N = 155) were college students of Color who completed the one-hour online survey at a location of their own choosing. Based on the EFA, the R-BBQ retained 19 items across 4 factors, the PM-BBQ retained 22 items across 4 factors, and the CM-BBQ retained18 items across 4 factors. The questionnaires demonstrated adequate to excellent reliability (α = .66-.95). The BBQs can be used in basic and applied research to better examine nonlinear changes to autobiographical memory for trauma.
Insights about the common generative rule underlying an information foraging task can be facilitated via collective search
Authors: Naito Aoi , Katahira Kentaro , Kameda Tatsuya
Published: January 2022

Social learning is beneficial for efficient information search in unfamiliar environments (“within-task” learning). In the real world, however, possible search spaces are often so large that decision makers are incapable of covering all options, even if they pool their information collectively. One strategy to handle such overload is developing generalizable knowledge that extends to multiple related environments (“across-task” learning). However, it is unknown whether and how social information may facilitate such across-task learning. Here, we investigated participants’ social learning processes across multiple laboratory foraging sessions in spatially correlated reward landscapes that were generated according to a common rule. The results showed that paired participants were able to improve efficiency in information search across sessions more than solo participants. Computational analysis of participants’ choice-behaviors revealed that such improvement across sessions was related to better understanding of the common generative rule. Rule understanding was correlated within a pair, suggesting that social interaction is a key to the improvement of across-task learning.
Online Proctoring Based on Item Responses and Response Times
Authors: Han Suhwa , Kang Hyeon-Ah
Published: January 2022

The surge of online testing in recent years calls for procedures that monitor examinees’ test-taking behaviors in real time. This study presents online proctoring methods that examine response and response-time behaviors during testing. The procedures are developed using sequential quality control techniques and implemented with various sampling designs to improve time sensitivity. Experimentation with simulated data suggests that the proposed methods can provide a powerful online surveillance tool for regulating anomalous behaviors. The procedures showed high sensitivity to aberrances and gave timely signals while maintaining the error rates reasonably small. We demonstrate utility of the procedures using real-assessment data and discuss implications for practical use.
The Co-occurrence of Posttraumatic growth (PTG) and Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in cancer survivors from a network perspective
Authors: Baník Gabriel , Dědová Mária , Vargová Lenka
Published: January 2022

A cancer diagnosis is a stressful life event that can lead to posttraumatic reactions. The two most common posttraumatic reactions in cancer survivors are posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG). PTSD represents the negative changes and PTG the positive changes resulting from the process of adapting to cancer. The PTSD, PTG and combined PTSD-PTG network structure with bridge nodes were estimated in 696 adult cancer survivors. The most central indicators in the PTG network were putting more effort into relationships, the ability to do better things with one’s own life and a greater sense of closeness with others. The most central symptoms in the PTSD network were being jumpy or startled and cancer-related flashbacks. Hypervigilance (PTSD symptom), knowing better that one can handle difficulties and changing priorities about what is important in life (PTG indicators) were identified as the nodes that link PTSD and PTG. In the cancer survivors with lower and higher levels of PTG, PTSD network structure, and the PTG strength of centrality indicators were different. In addition, PTSD and PTG were linked through different bridge nodes. This supports the hypothesis that PTSD and PTG are related differently in people with low and high PTG. The network approach can bring new insight into understanding the negative and positive posttraumatic reactions and their co-occurrence in cancer survivors.

Is the need for autonomy universal? Investigations with three large-scale global datasets
Authors: Li Ruisi , Peng Kaiping , Jiang Linjia , Li Jingjin , Wang Fei
Published: January 2022

Whether the pursuit of personal autonomy is universal has been heavily debated. The universalists argue that the need for autonomy is innate human nature that is essential for well-being, while the relativists argue that the need is a socio-cultural construct derived from the cultural values and practices of individualism. In the present study, we examined the relationship between personal autonomy and subjective well-being using three independent large-scale datasets (total n = 247,417) and further tested the moderating role of individualism-collectivism. Across the three datasets, personal autonomy was consistently associated with higher levels of subjective well-being. However, this association was moderated by the cultural dimension of individualism-collectivism, such that it was weakened in collectivistic cultures than in individualistic cultures. These findings portray an integrative view regarding the need for autonomy and its cultural variations and highlight the need to understand cultural factors contributing to well-being in an increasingly diverse world.
How does cultural fit affect the academic performance of first year students at German universities?
Authors: Becker Karsten , Brändle Tobias
Published: January 2022

Our paper discusses questions of cultural fit in higher education from a cultural sociological perspective (Bourdieu, 1984). Firstly, we address the hinge function of subject-related cultural fit for successful studying. Building on a concept of operationalizing cultural fit using quantitative data (Brändle, 2019, 2021). To this end, we analyze data from the 21st Social Survey (Middendorff et al., 2017). We focus on the effects of subject-cultural and academic fit as cultural dimensions extended by social integration following Tinto (1975, 1993) on academic performance measured by (self-rated) average grades. The data show that the effect of study subject-related cultural fit on academic performance is mediated by social integration. Thus, our concept might help to improve sensitivity for educational inequalities and add to the discussion of increasing and widening participation in tertiary education.
Are We Sure We Fully Understand What an Infodemic Is? A Global Perspective on Infodemiological Problems
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro , Castaldo Lucia
Published: January 2022

As stated by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO's director-general, we have fought not only the COVID-19 pandemic but also an equally severe infodemic. Although the most striking manifestations of the latter occurred on social networks, some studies show that dismisinformation is significantly influenced by numerous additional factors, both online and offline (i.e., disjoined from the internet). These include social context, age, education, personal knowledge and beliefs, mood, psychological defense mechanisms, media resonance, and how news and information are presented to the public. However, following the evidence in the literature, we also discuss how various incorrect scientific practices related to disclosure, publication, and training can fuel such a phenomenon. In particular, we stress the importance of considering that, in every complex system, all components influence each other. Therefore, if we want to bring down novel infodemics due to future severe crises such as pollution and climate change, we will have to act immediately on all levels. In conclusion, we believe that the construction of resilience to dismisinformation must start with children in schools since the current countermeasures are insufficient to combat a phenomenon that has its roots in personal and collective psychology. Furthermore, we believe that themes such as scientific method and evidence should be at the heart of the university education of a future scientist. Finally, the principle of authority and the obsessive pursuit of prestige must be drastically limited as they undermine the credibility of science.

DISTRIBUTION OF MERCURY IN THE HAIR OF RESIDENTS OF AKTASH (REPUBLIC OF ALTAI)
Authors: Gustaytis M. A. , Myagkaya I. N.
Published: January 2022

The aim of the study: to reveal the peculiarities of mercury distribution in the hair of residents of the Aktash settlement, which is located within the natural mercury anomaly (Kurai mercury zone, Russia) and influence area of a mercury deposit with stored mercury-containing waste.

Location and time of the study. Sampling was carried out in 2019 in Aktash village (Ulagan district, Altai Republic), which is part of the Kurai mercury zone.

Methodology. Mercury in the samples was determined by the atomic absorption method using a RA-915M mercury analyzer.

Results. High concentrations of Hg in the atmospheric and soil air were revealed. The average mercury content in the hair of Aktash residents was 0.23 μg/g, which was significantly lower than the reference value. An increased content of mercury in the hair of the indigenous population of the Aktash settlement was revealed, the differences being sex-related. The highest mercury levels were found in former mining workers. It was found that mercury enters the body of the inhabitants of the settlement to a greater extent by breathing and as a result of adsorption from the atmosphere on the hair surface, and to a lesser extent through the consumption of food containing mercury (fish, mushrooms) or as a result of smoking.
Farewell Missives
Authors: Braude Stephen
Published: January 2022

This is a particularly rich issue of the JSE. And a hefty one. Its size is due primarily to two quite lengthy essays, one by Bryan Williams and one by Michael Sudduth. Of course, all of this issue’s articles and reviews are worth reading; that’s why we’re publishing them. But these two huge essays merit a few extra comments. Bryan Williams has given us something that I and various SSE members have hoped for over the years, a detailed review of a specific line of anomalistic research—the kind of article that would be useful to both veterans and newcomers to edge science. I’ve often tried to recruit such an opus from SSE colleagues at our conferences, hoping my considerable charm would dazzle them into accepting the opportunity. I’ve even been assured on several occasions that the solicited reviews would be forthcoming. But only Bryan, so far, has delivered the goods, a splendid essay surveying research on PK with random number generators. Not surprisingly, this review took Bryan a long time to write, and I want to thank him, not only for the result, but for his tenacity. Michael Sudduth’s essay is a forensic tour de force (as befits an admirer of the TV detective show Columbo)—an unprecedently detailed critique of the James Leininger case of ostensible reincarnation. That case is both complicated and messy, and it illustrates a general problem with CORT investigations that I’ve dubbed the Problem of Investigative Intricacy.

NATURE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF RARE EARTH ELEMENTS IN MESOZOIC SEDIMENTARY ROCKS OF THE LOWER AMUR REGION
Authors: Medvedeva S.A.
Published: January 2022

The article presents original data on the contents of rare earth elements (REE) and characterizes their distribution in Mesozoic sedimentary rocks of the Lower Amur region. The author compares various parameters of the studied rocks with similar parameters in the standards of the same rocks. The stratigraphic divisions made on the M-54-I sheet of the 1:200,000 scale State Geological Map belong to the Amur (or Chayatyn) subzone (SFPZ) of the West Sikhote-Alin Structural-Formation Zone (SFZ). Among them, the Zhorminsky (K1 zm) strata, Silasinsky (K 1-2 sl) and Utitsky (K2 ut K2) formations are distinguished. The stratons are composed of sandstones and siltstones in different ratios. They also contain conglomerates, tuffs of different composition, and andesites. The REE content in siltstones is higher than in sandstones. Higher concentrations of elements were found in the studied rocks relative to the rocks of the Caucasian Folded System (CC). Compared to the aleuropes of the Russian platform, the sandstones of Priamurye subzone have less REE content, and the siltstones have more. Compared to PAAS (post-Archean Australian shale), the REE content is less. Chondrite normalized REE contents. The trend of the charts is negative. The same behavior of elements is characteristic of the distribution spectra in the studied sandstones, siltstones, RAAS, aleuropesstones of the Russian platform, and rocks of the Caucasian SS. In most of the rocks presented, the LRSE/TRSE is higher than 8, this indicates that the sedimentation basin of detrital material has a predominantly acidic composition. There is a significant negative europium anomaly – from 0.34 to 0.71 in sandstones, and from 0.47 to 0.75 in siltstones. It also indicates the acidic rocks erosion. Consequently, a set of parameters determines the rocks acidic composition in the demolition areas.
CONNECTION OF HEAT FLOW ANOMALIES WITH ZONES OF RHEOLOGICAL LOWER DENSITY CONTRAST IN UPPER MANTLE OF THE EASTERN ASIAN MARGINS
Authors: Petrishchevsky A.M.
Published: January 2022

Results of the correlation analysis of heat flow anomalies with distributions of density contrast (µz-parameter) in rifting and plume structures on eastern margin of Asia which prove selective return correlation of these parameters in intervals of depths corresponding to the provision of the subcrustal viscous layer (the deep interval 25–45 км) and astenosphere (the deep interval 70–90 км) are considered. The South-Okhotsk rift has anomalous characteristic, where subcrustal layer locates at the depth of 10–25 km, and astenosphere – 45–55 km. In most regions (South Okhotsk, Sea of Japan, Cathaysia) main contribution to the heat flow brings a subcrustal viscous layer, but in the Indigiro-Kolimsky – asthenosphere contribution is prevailed over subcrustal one. The heat flow from an asthenosphere on Ceinozoic borders of lithospheric plates is screened by subduction’s slabs. In the Chenzhou–Linwu fault zone at the boundary of the Yangtze plate and Cathaysia block the wide stretch-shear zone in lithosphere is revealed. The late is displayed by the density contrast minima at the depth interval of 30–100 km and heat flow anomalies. in this zone, on geological data, manifestations of stretching, viscous shear and oblique subduction are detected. The main contribution to thermal anomalies in rift structures is made by a subcrustal viscous layer. Identical correlation of Q and µz-параметра in the areas removed from each other testifies to an identical deep structure and universality of tectonic states on eastern margins of the Asia where in space and time subduction’s rifting and plume processes are interfaced. Key words: heat flow, upper mantle, density contrast, rheology, Eastern Asia.

تلجأ كافة التشريعات إلى سن ما يحفظ للإنسان حياته ويحميه من كل الاعتداءات بكل أشكالها، ولا شك أن الحفاظ على الحياة يقتضي معاقبة الفاعل للجريمة بما يردعه عن إعادتها ويزجر الناس عن اقترافها، والتمالؤ كصورة من صور الاشتراك في القتل قد يكون سبباً لانتشار هذه الجريمة إن لم تكن عقوبته واضحة ورادعة، وقد اختلفت التشريعات في سن العقوبة المناسبة له واختار القانون اليمني شروطاً معينة يمكن عند تحققها معقابة المتمالئ بنفس عقوبة المباشر، وهو بهذا يتوافق مع جزء من الفقه الإسلامي، وفي هذه الدراسة نتناول معنى التمالؤ من كل النواحي والاتجاهات اللغوية والشرعية والقانونية، ونتعرف على حكمه واختيار القانون اليمني فيه لنحاول في ختام البحث تقييم هذا الاختيار وتقديره ومدى توافقه مع الشريعة الإسلامية وتحقيقه للمصلحة العامة وتوفير الردع والزجر عن هذه الجريمة.
ANALYSIS OF DISCOURSES OF POLITICAL ACTORS IN TURKEY REGARDING SYRIAN REFUGEES IN THE NATIONAL PRESS
Authors: TUNÇ Ferit
Published: January 2022

After the protest movements, which are described as the "Arab Spring", spread to Syria since the beginning of 2011, an important part of the Syrians, who had to leave their country with the civil war, took shelter in Turkey. Turkey has implemented an open door policy within the framework of humanitarian sensitivities in the face of this crisis. However, it did not remain indifferent to this influx for historical, religious and cultural reasons and tried to provide all necessary assistance from the very first moment.In the last ten years, the number of people who took refuge in Turkey has reached 4 million. This study focuses on the discourses of political actors in the national press regarding Syrians under temporary protection in Turkey. In this context, the news with the keywords “Syria” and “Syrians” in the newspapers YeniŞafak, Cumhuriyet and Hürriyet throughout 2017, when intense discussions were experienced in all areas regarding Syrian refugees, was analyzed by Van Dijk's discourse analysis method. According to the main findings of the study, it is seen that the discourses of political actors related to Syrians under temporary protection are shaped within the framework of discussions on living together, cooperation, economic burden, national threat and citizenship. In this context, it is understood that there are critical differences in the discourses of political actors belonging to the government and opposition.

Authors: ÇİZMECİ Saliha Sena
Published: January 2022

Multiculturalism, which is one of today's social problems, has become more prominent with the increase in the foreign population in the countries. South Korea, where the popularity is increasing day by day with the influence of the media, welcomes people from other countries for different purposes and long-stay plans. This situation has led to some adaptation problems in Korean society. In today's world, where various cultures can be seen together, the emergence of social problems has become a natural situation. Being able to adapt to the social structure that includes new cultures by changing over time may be important in terms of the social life quality of the local people. The same is true for individuals who leave their own country behind and start living in a new society. The individual who enters the new environment can lead a healthy life as long as he is accepted from this new environment and integrated into the society. Based on this information, such study has been put forward to draw attention to how a collective society like Korea adapts to the concept of multiculturalism and what problems the foreigners in the country have. Adaptation problems were discussed in the study. In addition, ideas about the solution of the problems were presented. Related articles and resources were examined. It was emphasized that the minorities in the society should be taken into account and treated fairly. In addition, it is of great importance to ensure communication in order to overcome the prejudices between the local community and the later arrivals. These problems can be overcome if the idea of being open to other cultures is instilled while bringing the cultural identity of Korea to the society. This both can be applied through the education system and the media. This study aims to answer questions for the polarizing societies in South Korea to understand each other better. The questions collected in two main factors were determined as follows; i. How can multiculturalism survive in South Korea? ii. What are the adaptation problems of multicultural individuals in South Korea?

The Upper Cretaceous Rock Springs Formation of northwest Colorado
Authors: Phillips Stephen , Hudson Hudson
Published: January 2022

The Upper Cretaceous Rock Springs Formation of the Mesaverde Group in northwestern Colorado, southwestern Wyoming, and northeastern Utah is composed of fluvial, deltaic, and marine sediments that record the regression of the Western Interior Seaway during the Early to Middle Campanian. Contemporaneous deposits are present along the eastern and southeastern margins of the Greater Green River Basin in Wyoming, but correlation across the basin is challenging. Analysis of a small (1-km-long), understudied outcrop in northwestern Colorado assists in bridging that gap. The outcrop consists of distal and proximal deltaic deposits, overlain by distributary-channel complexes within delta-plain deposits. Correlation panels based on subsurface wireline logs and outcrop gamma-ray profiles show that the deposits are younger than lithostratigraphically equivalent strata of the Rock Springs Formation in Utah and Wyoming. Regional nomenclature is introduced for the area, and it is shown that these deposits differ from better-documented, older Rock Springs Formation deposits in Utah and Wyoming by having a higher net sandstone percentage due to the presence of substantial distributary-channel complexes. This study benefits subsurface exploration efforts in the Greater Green River Basin by providing outcrop analogs of reservoir distribution and quality.
