Shifting Dominant Narratives of Teacher Development: New Directions for Expanding Access to the Educator Workforce Through Grow Your Own Programs
Authors: Gist Conra D.
Published: September 2021

Grow Your Own (GYO) programs are designed to recruit high school students, paraeducators, community organizers and parents, and/or career changers from the local community to join the educator workforce. When considering the nontraditional teacher pools that may enter the profession through GYO programs, commonly held assumptions about who teachers are, how they are developed, and what is most important for supporting their growth are challenged. This article reframes conventional narratives in teacher education by exploring the ways in which GYO programs offer counternarratives that reimagine teacher development by valuing (a) intersectional views of ethnoracial diversity, (b) resilience as an important teacher characteristic, (c) multiple modes of assessment as evidence of teacher learning, (d) ethnoracially diverse and community-based teacher educators, (e) culturally responsive pedagogy and place-based learning, and (f) local community school commitment.
ANTIMONY AND VANADIUM IN INCINERATION BOTTOM ASH – LEACHING BEHAVIOR AND CONCLUSIONS FOR TREATMENT PROCESSES
Authors: Simon Franz-Georg , Vogel Christian , Kalbe Ute
Published: September 2021

Due to its large mineral fraction, incineration bottom ash (IBA) from municipal solid waste incineration is an interesting raw material that can be used for road construction or to produce secondary building materials. However, leaching chloride, sulfate, and potentially harmful heavy metals may cause problems in using IBA in civil engineering. Investigating leaching behavior is crucial for the assessment of the environmental compatibility of IBA applications. Various test procedures are available for that purpose. In the present study, a long-term leaching test of a wet-mechanically treated IBA was performed in a lysimeter for almost six years. While concentrations of chloride, sulfate and the majority of the heavy metals started to decrease rapidly with advancing liquid-to-solid ratio (L/S), antimony (Sb) and vanadium (V) behaved differently. At the beginning of the lysimeter test, the Sb and V concentrations were low, but after approximately one year of operation at an L/S ratio of around 0.8 L/kg, a steady increase was observed. It was shown that this increase is the result of low Ca concentrations due to the formation of CaCO3. With the data, the solubility products from Ca-antimonate and Ca-vanadate were calculated. The unusual leaching behavior of Sb and V should be kept in mind when considering field scenarios and evaluating the impact on the environment.

Published: September 2021

This analysis estimates the technically available potentials of renewable gases from anaerobic conversion and biomass gasification of organic waste materials, as well as power-to-gas (H2 and synthetic natural gas based on renewable electricity) for Austria, as well as their approximate energy production costs. Furthermore, it outlines a theoretical expansion scenario for plant erection aimed at fully using all technical potentials by 2050. The overall result, illustrated as a theoretical merit order, is a ranking of technologies and resources by their potential and cost, starting with the least expensive and ending with the most expensive. The findings point to a renewable methane potential of about 58 TWh per year by 2050. The highest potential originates from biomass gasification (~49 TWh per year), while anaerobic digestion (~6 TWh per year) and the power-to-gas of green CO2 from biogas upgrading (~3 TWh per year) demonstrate a much lower technical potential. To fully use these potentials, 870 biomass gasification plants, 259 anaerobic digesters, and 163 power-to-gas plants to be built by 2050 in the full expansion scenario. From the cost perspective, all technologies are expected to experience decreasing specific energy costs in the expansion scenario. This cost decrease is not significant for biomass gasification, at only about 0.1 €-cent/kWh, resulting in a cost range between 10.7 and 9.0 €-cent/kWh depending on the year and fuel. However, for anaerobic digestion, the cost decrease is significant, with a reduction from 7.9 to 5.6 €-cent/kWh. It is even more significant for power-to-gas, with a reduction from 10.8 to 5.1 €-cent/kWh between 2030 and 2050.

Authors: Harding Fiona , Seynaeve Mathieu , Keeler Johanna , Himmerich Hubertus , Treasure Janet , Kan Carol
Published: September 2021

Approximately 1.25 million people in the UK suffer from an eating disorder, yet the treatment options show limited efficacy, warranting the need for novel approaches. This study aimed to investigate the perspectives of people with eating disorders on the use of complementary therapies and psychedelic research and treatment. Two hundred participants with eating disorders took part in this web survey study. The majority of participants (70%) had used a complementary treatment to manage their eating disorder. Participants believed that psychedelic research was worthwhile in the context of a moderate level of concern. The most popular solutions to meet these concerns included providing education around psychedelics and their effects and use in psychiatry and experiencing endorsement from professionals in the area. Moreover, participant responses emphasized the need for a safe, monitored environment and the patient-therapist rapport in the context of psychedelic treatment. The findings are explored concerning future trials of psychedelics as a treatment for eating disorders.

Published: September 2021

People with diabetes have a higher risk of cognitive impairment than people without diabetes, and recently it is being considered a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Because of drastic lifestyle changes in the Mongolian population, diabetes prevalence is increasing rapidly. The rapid increase of diabetes prevalence and its poor control in Mongolia suggest that there might be significant cognitive impairment in the diabetes population. In this case-control study, we compared the Mini-Mental State Examination score to the risk of cognitive impairment, indicating vascular dementia in people with and without diabetes. Upon obtaining their informed consent, each subject was tested with Mini-Mental State Examination. We involved age and gender-matched diabetic (n = 131) and non-diabetic (n = 131) subjects. The mean age was 61.3 ± 8.5 and 61.0 ± 8.7 in people with and without diabetes, respectively, and 35.9% of the participants were male. According to study groups, the Mini-Mental State Examination scores were significantly different: 26.1 ± 3.7 and 27.5 ± 2.6 for people with and without diabetes, respectively. In logistic regression analysis, age was significantly associated with Mini-Mental State Examination score (Beta coefficient = 1.22; 1.11–1.35, P < 0.001) in people without diabetes after adjustments for potential confounders. However, age was not significantly associated with MMSE scores in people with diabetes mellitus. Thus, diabetes duration and poor control may contribute to developing cognitive impairment in people with diabetes. In conclusion, there might be a high prevalence of vascular dementia in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, since Mini-Mental State Examination is sensitive to dementia and not specific to vascular dementia, further studies involving neuroimaging and neurological examination are needed to fully elucidate the link between type 2 diabetes and vascular dementia in dementia in a Mongolian population.

Published: September 2021

Brain multimodality monitoring measuring brain tissue oxygen pressure, cerebral blood flow, and cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy may help optimize the neurocritical care of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and delayed cerebral ischemia. We retrospectively looked for complications associated with the placement of the probes and checked the reliability of the different tools used for multimodality monitoring. In addition, we screened for therapeutic measures derived in cases of pathological values in multimodality monitoring in 26 patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Computed tomography scans showed minor hemorrhage along with the probes in 12 patients (46.2%). Missing transmission of values was observed in 34.1% of the intended time of measurement for cerebral blood flow probes and 15.5% and 16.2%, respectively, for the two kinds of probes measuring brain tissue oxygen pressure. We identified 744 cumulative alarming values transmitted from multimodality monitoring. The most frequent intervention was modifying minute ventilation (29%). Less frequent interventions were escalating the norepinephrine dosage (19.9%), elevating cerebral perfusion pressure (14.9%) or inspiratory fraction of inspired oxygen (7.5%), transfusing red blood cell concentrates (1.2%), initiating further diagnostics (2.3%) and neurosurgical interventions (1.9%). As well, 355 cases of pathological values had no therapeutic consequence. The reliability of the measuring tools for multimodality monitoring regarding a continuous transmission of values must be improved, particularly for cerebral blood flow monitoring. The overall high rate of missing therapeutic responses to pathological values derived from multimodality monitoring in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage underlines the need for structured tiered algorithms. In addition, such algorithms are the basic requirement for prospective multicenter studies, which are urgently needed to evaluate the role of multimodality monitoring in treating these patients.
Clinical manifestation and imaging characteristics of transient global amnesia: patent foramen ovale as an underlying factor
Authors: Noh Sang-Mi , Kang Hyun Goo
Published: September 2021

Transient global amnesia is not rare, but its etiology remains unknown. Cerebral ischemia is a suspected cause because high signal intensity is observed on diffusion-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging; however, previous studies have not established it as a cause. Of the 128 patients (114 females) enrolled in this study, 82 (64.6%) experienced extreme stress before transient global amnesia. The number of female patients with patent foramen ovale was more than that of males. The patent foramen ovale-positive group had fewer vascular risk factors and fewer old ischemic lesions on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging than the patent foramen ovale-negative group. Brain magnetic resonance imaging confirmed that high signal intensity was more likely to be detected on the initial diffusion-weighted imaging when there was an old lesion detected by fluid-attenuated inversion recovery. Furthermore, a longer period from symptom onset to brain magnetic resonance imaging was associated with a positive initial diffusion-weighted imaging result. It is difficult to attribute one underlying mechanism to all the transient global amnesia cases. This study confirmed that transient global amnesia patients with patent foramen ovale had lesser vascular risk factors and showed fewer old lesions on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging than those without. These results suggest that transient global amnesia may be caused by a paradoxical embolus rather than ischemia due to traditional vascular risk factors in patients with patent foramen ovale.

Published: September 2021

Professional training of cadets of lyceums in the process of mastering working specialties is accompanied by the influence on the adolescents' organism of ecological and hygienic territorial environmental factors, as well as specific factors of the educational and production environment. The study aims to explore the influence of factors of the environment and educational-production environment of river transport lyceums on the adaptation of adolescents' bodies in the process of teaching working specialties. A survey of 400 cadets studying at the Saratov and Balakovo lyceums of river transport (200 boys each) at the age of 15-18 years was carried out. The hygienic assessment of the organization and conditions of vocational training of adolescents mastering working specialties was carried out in accordance with SanPiN 2.4.3.1186-03, assessment of the conditions and nature of cadets' work in accordance with R 2.2.2006-05 "Guidelines for the hygienic assessment of the factors of the working environment and the labor process. Criteria and classification of working conditions". The processes of adaptation of the body of young men were studied in terms of psychophysiological status on a computer complex KPFK-99 - "Psychomat". To assess the adaptation of the cardiovascular system to physical activity, the Rufier index and the Martinet-Kushelevsky test were used. Statistical processing of materials was carried out using the program "Statistica for Windows 10.0". It is shown that vocational training of students in the process of passing educational practice in the shops of a ship repair enterprise, as well as swimming practice is accompanied by the impact on cadets of unfavorable production factors: microclimatic, increased sound pressure and vibration levels, exceeding the permissible content of chemicals in the air of the working area. The nature of the factors of educational and production activity of cadets during the periods of technological, swimming practice leads to a decrease in the adaptation processes of the body of young men, which is manifested by changes in the indicators of the psychophysiological status and functional activity of the cardiovascular system during stress tests. Negative factors of atmospheric air pollution of the environment, regardless of the territorial affiliation of the settlement, contribute to an increase in the overall incidence of cadets with a predominance of respiratory diseases. Among students with a deficit or excess body weight, in the process of passing professional practice, the number of people with low indicators of the body's adaptive ability to workloads is increasing.
Impact of Management Practices on Micro and Small Enterprise (MSEs) Performance in Marinduque, Philippines
Authors: Capiña Michael V.
Published: September 2021

In the Philippines, micro and small enterprises (MSEs) comprise the largest part of the business economic undertakings and are among the most important development agents in rural communities like Marinduque. MSEs offer opportunities to poor people the possibility of earning income, training, work experience and employment. However, most of the micro and small enterprises in the country perform behind the neighboring ASEAN countries. Thus, assessing the impact of their management practices on operational functions (marketing, production, financial, human resources) and the significant relationship to MSEs performance (sales, production, and income) as the basis for government interventions. The study disclosed that management practices of 35 selected manufacturing MSEs on operational function is doing well with an overall mean of 3.70 interpreted as "Mostly Practiced". Of all the variables, marketing emerged to have the highest mean of 3.95, interpreted as "Mostly Practiced". What is alarming is the findings on human resources, which got the lowest mean of 3.40, interpreted as "Practiced". Overall performance in terms of sales, production, and income is 3.64, interpreted as "very satisfactory". Using Pearson, the operational business function has a positive correlation to performance. Based on the operational management practices, the following have a vital role for the success of MSEs such as type of business organization, decision-making process, creation of policy, rules, and regulations, planning and implementation, and management directions of the enterprise. As to these findings, programs of government will need to give emphasis on the weak areas and highlight the good practices as a basis for crafting tailored interventions for each MSEs.
The Role of Engagement on the Relationship Between Motivation and Future Volunteering Intention: The Case of the 30th Southeast Asian Games
Authors: Agustin Roel S.
Published: September 2021

Volunteering in major sporting events has become a trend, for sports volunteers are considered one of the most valuable human resources to the event. This study intended to establish a structural model that describes the role of engagement on the relationship between motivation and future volunteering intention in a sporting event. It aimed to provide implications for organizers and volunteer coordinators to effectively retain experienced volunteers and motivate them to engage in future events. The participants of the study were the 168 sport event volunteers at the 30th SEA Games – Clark Cluster. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to test the causal relationships of the variables. The study found that skill enrichment, privileges of volunteering, and social enrichment positively influenced volunteer engagement, while community contribution, skill enrichment, positive life experiences, and volunteer engagement positively influenced intention to volunteer in the future. The study concluded that volunteer engagement has no mediating role between motivation and future volunteering intention. Sport event organizers must manage volunteers by satisfying their personal and social needs toward volunteering and providing moral support through proper work design, efficient training, and an inclusive working environment to keep them engaged and committed in sustaining their volunteering act.

Published: September 2021

Social entrepreneurship is a process of continuous innovation in classifying different social problems to overcome social problems and meet social needs. The social entrepreneurship approach is very promising in creating new opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the emerging industry. The conceptual contribution to developing a theory that explains the relationship between constructions has been less underlined. Thus, this study aims to identify different models and how they work and propose a conceptual model of social entrepreneurship to empower the economy in disability communities. This study uses descriptive analysis by conducting various literature syntheses to understand the contribution of entrepreneurship in social development. Based on discussion and analysis, new model propositions consider the value of co-creation stakeholders and supporting ecosystems such as academics, government, profit, and non-profit organizations and communities (quadruple helix concept). Overall, this study provides a conceptual framework that enables an understanding of the phenomenon of social entrepreneurship growth and its role in empowering community disabilities. Also, this research also tries to facilitate the stakeholders involved to contribute to the empowerment of community disabilities.

Published: September 2021

We mined published microarray data (1) to understand the most significant gene expression differences in the tumors of triple negative breast cancer patients based on survival following treatment: dead or alive. We observed significant transcriptome-wide differential expression of RCSD domain-containing 1, encoded by RCSD1 when comparing the primary tumors of triple negative breast cancer patients dead or alive. Importantly, RCSD1 expression was significantly correlated with recurrence-free survival in basal subtype breast cancer, a molecular subtype sharing significant overlap with triple negative breast cancer. RCSD1 may be of relevance as a biomarker or as a molecule of interest in understanding the etiology or progression of triple negative breast cancer.

Published: September 2021

Quantitative sensory testing (QST) allows researchers to evaluate associations between noxious stimuli and acute pain in clinical populations and healthy participants. Despite its widespread use, our understanding of QST’s reliability is limited, as reliability studies have used small samples and restricted time windows. We examined the reliability of pain ratings in response to noxious thermal stimulation in 171 healthy volunteers (n = 99 female, n = 72 male) who completed QST on multiple visits ranging from 1 day to 952 days between visits. On each visit, participants underwent an adaptive pain calibration in which they experienced 24 heat trials and rated pain intensity after stimulus offset on a 0-10 Visual Analog Scale. We used linear regression to determine pain threshold, pain tolerance, and the correlation between temperature and pain for each session and examined the reliability of these measures. Threshold and tolerance were moderately reliable (Intra-class correlation [ICC]=0.66 and 0.67, respectively; p<.001), whereas temperature-pain correlations had low reliability (ICC=0.23). In addition, pain tolerance was significantly more reliable in female participants than male participants, and we observed similar trends for other pain sensitive measures. Our findings indicate that threshold and tolerance are largely consistent across visits, whereas sensitivity to changes in temperature vary over time and may be influenced by contextual factors.
Updating A Time-Series of Survey Questions: The Case of Abortion Attitudes in the General Social Survey
Authors: Cowan Sarah , Hout Mike , Perrett Stuart
Published: September 2021

Long-running surveys need a systematic way to reflect social change and to keep items relevant to respondents, especially when they ask about controversial subjects, or they threaten the items' validity. We propose a protocol for updating measures that preserves content and construct validity. First, substantive experts articulate the current and anticipated future terms of debate. Then survey experts use this substantive input and their knowledge of existing measures to develop and pilot a large battery of new items. Third, researchers analyze the pilot data to select items for the survey of record. Finally, the items appear on the survey-of-record, available to the whole user community. Surveys-of-record have procedures for changing content that determine if the new items appear just once or become part of the core. We provide the example of developing new abortion attitude measures in the General Social Survey. Current questions ask whether abortion should be legal under varying circumstances. The new abortion items ask about morality, access, state policy, and interpersonal dynamics. They improve content and construct validity and add new insights into Americans' abortion attitudes.
Elite-Mass Agreement in British Foreign Policy
Authors: Vucetic Srdjan
Published: September 2021

Thirty years ago, William Wallace likened British foreign policy to a musical tug-of-war between the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ and ‘Europeans’, attributing ‘all the best tunes’ to the former. This study revisits Wallace’s thesis and its main concept, national identity. It finds that Wallace was right to draw attention to the power of the ruling elite to shape Englishness and Britishness. However, the study also finds that ‘global’ foreign policy ideas were never the exclusive province of a segment of the British elite. Rather, they circulated in English and more broadly British society writ large, reflecting and reinforcing deep seated, even unselfconscious agreements between both ‘Anglo-Saxon’ and ‘European’ elites, on one hand, and much of the mass consumer public, on the other. It follows that the constraints posed on possibilities of foreign policy change were always greater than Wallace had suggested.

Membrana placentaria en el tratamiento de las úlceras del pie diabético
Authors: Martínez Pizarro Sandra
Published: September 2021

La úlcera del pie diabético (UDF) es una de las principales causas de morbilidad y pérdida de calidad de vida en pacientes diabéticos. En los estudios de los últimos años se ha sugerido el uso de membrana placentaria en dichas úlceras. Las membranas amnióticas placentarias están compuestas de células, matriz extracelular y un complejo de citocinas reguladoras que promueven la proliferación y modulación celular involucradas en la cicatrización de úlceras (1).

En el estudio de Oesman I et al. (2020), se reclutaron tres pacientes con UDF.,  fueron tratados con membrana  placentaria tratada con rayos gamma y seguidos durante un mes, se aplicaron dos capas de apósito de membrana placentaria semanalmente después de la limpieza y desbridamiento durante 3 semanas. Al final de la tercera semana, la úlcera se curó. Este estudio demostró que la membrana placentaria favorece la curación de las úlceras que no cicatrizan con el tratamiento convencional (2).
Corticosteroid induced avascular necrosis and COVID-19: The drug dilemma
Authors: Banerjee Indrajit , Robinson Jared , Sathian Brijesh
Published: September 2021

The severe and life-threatening nature of the COVID-19 infection, the ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) as well as the cytokine storm induced by the infection, commands lifesaving high doses of steroid therapy. As in all pharmacological therapies adverse effects are present. One such adverse effect which is being reported is corticosteroid induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head/ osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

It must be noted that AVN principally affects the femoral head and most commonly the anterolateral aspect thereof as it is the crux of weight bearing.  Corticosteroids induce fat mobilization and this thus innately enhances the likelihood of fat emboli developing from the liver to occlude minor blood vessels in the femur, this thereby compromises the microvascular environment. Superadded to this the steroid therapy disrupts calcium metabolism and homeostasis which induces hypertrophy in the intramedullary fat cells, Gaucher cells and inflammatory cells; whilst increasing the activity of osteoclasts, thus increasing bone resorption and decreasing calcium uptake and deposition; ultimately leading to an insufficiency in the trabecular and cortical bone. This insufficiency thus equates to an increased intraosseous pressure which impedes intramedullary circulation and results in avascular necrosis.

 It is evident that avascular necrosis is directly caused by high dose steroid therapy, however the case reports have very clearly indicated that the rapid onset of AVN post recovery from the COVID-19 infection cannot be solely attributed to steroid therapy and that another benefactor induced by the COVID-19 infection is at play. It is thus vital for treating physicians to take cognisance of this adverse effect post recovery and therefore should ensure that prophylactic bisphosphonate therapy is initiated timeously and congruently.

L’histoire urbaine du Koweït se divise en deux périodes : l’urbanisation, entre le 7esiècle et le début du 20e, et l’extension urbaine rapide qui commence peu après. À ce jour, les facteurs historiques et géographiques qui animent ces mouvements ne sont pas étudiés dans le détail. Dans notre étude, nous employons une grande quantité de données cartographiques brutes et secondaires pour analyser l’expansion urbaine et l’évolution formelle de Kuwait City depuis l’Antiquité. L’analyse de la première période porte surtout sur la cartographie des premiers établissements, et la rattache aux évènements marquants de l’histoire régionale. Pour la seconde période, nous avons produit de nombreuses cartes que nous avons étudiées pour comprendre et expliquer les mouvements de l’expansion urbaine. Nos résultats montrent que la première urbanisation du Koweït est motivée par la topographie, de même que par la disposition stratégique d’établissements commerciaux et défensifs. Par la suite, l’expansion urbaine est motivée par le rattachement aux zones d’activité économique, d’abord, puis par le tracé des routes commerciales, plus tard. Enfin, depuis 70 ans, l’évolution sur place de la forme urbaine s’explique entièrement par la planification centralisée du gouvernement.
La couverture médiatique du bilinguisme des juges de la Cour suprême du Canada
Authors: Bédard-Rubin Jean-Christophe
Published: September 2021

Cet article analyse la couverture médiatique du bilinguisme obligatoire des juges de la Cour suprême du Canada dans les quotidiens d’information généralistes francophones et anglophones au Canada entre 2006 et 2018. Durant cette période, dix projets de loi ont essayé sans succès d’enchâsser dans la loi l’exigence de « bilinguisme fonctionnel » pour les juges de la Cour suprême. On constate toutefois que le débat s’est déroulé dans des termes différents dans l’espace public médiatique francophone et anglophone. Les journaux francophones ont adopté une position éditoriale beaucoup plus favorable que les journaux anglophones. L’Acadie Nouvelle au Nouveau-Brunswick et Le Droit en Ontario se sont également démarqués particulièrement par l’intensité et le positionnement éditorial de leur couverture. L’attention médiatique aux questions de bilinguisme judiciaire a aussi été à la remorque des débats parlementaires plutôt que l’inverse et ne s’est pleinement articulée qu’à partir de 2010. Finalement, les journaux anglophones et francophones ont mis de l’avant des arguments différents et ont donc participé à un dialogue de sourds dans une large mesure. En présentant le débat sur le bilinguisme des juges comme un enjeu de politique partisane plutôt que comme un facteur influençant le comportement des juges, la Cour suprême elle-même est demeurée à l’extérieur du débat préservant ainsi le cadrage légaliste du comportement judiciaire.

LAY SUMMARY

Medical cannabis is increasingly used by Canadian Veterans to manage chronic pain; however, the benefits and harms are uncertain. This commentary summarizes a recent guideline that found small to very small benefits of medical cannabis for pain relief, physical functioning and sleep quality, and evidence for a small to very small increase in several transient harms. The close balance between benefits and harms supports shared decision-making with Veterans living with chronic pain to ensure the decision whether to pursue a trial of medical cannabis is consistent with their values and preferences.
