Published: September 2021

Abstract. Exchange of dissolved substances at the sediment–water
interface provides an important link between the short-term and long-term
geochemical cycles in the ocean. A second, as yet poorly understood
sediment–water exchange is supported by low-temperature circulation of
seawater through the oceanic basement underneath the sediments. From the
basement, upwards diffusing oxygen and other dissolved species modify the
sediment, whereas reaction products diffuse from the sediment down into the
basement where they are transported by the basement fluid and released to
the ocean. Here, we investigate the impact of this “second” route with
respect to transport, release and consumption of oxygen, nitrate, manganese,
nickel and cobalt on the basis of sediment cores retrieved from the Clarion
Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. We show that in this
abyssal ocean region characterised by low organic carbon burial and
sedimentation rates vast areas exist where the downward- and upward-directed
diffusive fluxes of oxygen meet so that the sediments are oxic throughout.
This is especially the case where sediments are thin or in the proximity of
faults. Oxygen diffusing upward from the basaltic crust into the sediment
contributes to the degradation of sedimentary organic matter. Where the
sediments are entirely oxic, nitrate produced in the upper sediment by
nitrification is lost both by upward diffusion into the bottom water and by
downward diffusion into the fluids circulating within the basement. Where
the oxygen profiles do not meet, they are separated by a suboxic sediment
interval characterised by Mn2+ in the porewater. Where porewater
Mn2+ in the suboxic zones remains low, nitrate consumption is low and
the sediment continues to deliver nitrate to the ocean bottom waters and
basement fluid. We observe that at elevated porewater manganese
concentrations, nitrate consumption exceeds production and nitrate diffuses
from the basement fluid into the sediment. Within the suboxic zone, not only
manganese but also cobalt and nickel are released into the porewater by
reduction of Mn oxides, diffusing towards the oxic–suboxic fronts above and
below where they precipitate, effectively removing these metals from the
suboxic zone and concentrating them at the two oxic–suboxic redox
boundaries. We show that not only do diffusive fluxes in the top part of
deep-sea sediments modify the geochemical composition over time but also
diffusive fluxes of dissolved constituents from the basement into the bottom
layers of the sediment. Hence, the palaeoceanographic interpretation of
sedimentary layers should carefully consider such deep secondary
modifications in order to prevent the misinterpretation of primary signatures.

The Qur'an was revealed using Arabic which is very beautiful, the friends and Arabs who know and feel the uslub-uslub Arabic understand very well what was revealed to the Prophet. But most of the people who are not from the Arab nation are very difficult to communicate in Arabic, especially to understand the Qur'an. Departing from these problems, understanding the rules of the Arabic language is very closely related to the verses of the Qur'an. Without the rules of Arabic, it is very difficult to understand the Qur'an. So the purpose of writing this article is to explain the rules of the Arabic language as an analytical tool in order to understand the contents of the Qur'an. The method used in this research is descriptive analytic with the type of library research. The results of this study indicate that, someone who will interpret the Qur'an is required to understand the rules of the Arabic language, even the scholars make the rules of the Arabic language as conditions that must be met for a commentator to understand the content of the verses of the Qur'an. - The Qur'an correctly in accordance with existing rules.

During the new coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many fake news and misleading information that could cause fear and panic among the public spread around the world. In this study, we aimed to determine online search behavior and frequency of use of infodemic monikers regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. Searches were made between December 10th, 2019 and October10th, 2020. The top five infodemic and scientific COVID-19 terms trending (coronavirus/koronavirüs, corona/korona, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, novel coronavirus/) in Turkish and English in all categories (web, visuals, shopping, etc.) in Turkey and worldwide were searched. It was found that the highest search volume was related to the search term “koronavirus” in Turkey and worldwide. It was determined that the society used infodemic words instead of scientific terms. The word "korona" had highest search volume, while in the more developed regions (Istanbul, İzmir, Bursa, Ankara), "COVID-19”, “SARS-CoV-2” search words were preferred.

Since 1996, Taiwan has been implementing the Educational Priority Areas (EPA) Program to reduce the achievement gaps between students in different regions. However, according to the results from PISA, TIMSS, PILRS and the Basic Competence Test, the achievement gap has widened between urban and rural students over time. The Taiwanese Ministry of Education piloted the ""Success Program"" from 2014 to 2017, an experimental program in order to reform the EPA Program. This study sought to investigate the implementation of the Success Program. The researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 26 school principals, division heads and teachers recruited from participating schools and utilized content analysis to analyze challenges, difficulties and compromises during the first two years of implementation. The purpose was to explore the extent to which the Success Program promoted educational change, the advantages and limitations of zone-based intervention, as well as the factors hindering educational change. Suggestions are provided for improving area-based intervention. Results: The results indicate that the Success Program facilitated inter-school cooperation among elementary teachers at the zone level. Besides, the adjustment of remedial teaching and parental involvement strategies were observed at the school level. However, no change was found at the classroom level. In addition, there was a goal displacement at the school level. In terms of zone integration, lacking of administrative power, short of discussion time, insufficient collaboration skills as well as high teacher turnover rate were main challenges of initiating and sustaining educational change. Policy recommendations: (1) Cultivating instructional leaders and concentrating the focus of zone integration on basic competences. (2) Providing instructional guidance and introducing school-based workshops to strengthen instructional practices. (3) Establishing the discussion mechanism between the administrative team and teachers. (4) Providing scaffolding and expert consultations to support collaborative discussions.

 
中國大陸學生權益救濟法制之研究：北京大學撤銷于艷茹博士學位案例評析
Authors: 陳銘聰 陳銘聰
Published: September 2021

近年來高校學生因學校對其違紀違規處理過當或者不能接受相應的處分結果，將母校告上法庭的案件時有發生。學生認為學校的處理結果嚴重的侵害到其受教育權或其他基本權利。這種現象一方面是高校學生的自我保護的法律意識不斷地提升，另一方面也反映出高校在處理學生違規行為時學生權利救濟程序存在著不合法之處。學位不僅僅是學術水準的象徵，而且是獲得相應的經濟地位和社會地位的前提條件。在高校作出學位撤銷的決定時，必須要同時兼顧實體公正和程序正當，既要達到維護學術價值和學術倫理，又要充分保護學生的合法權益。尤其是學位撤銷會給當事人帶來的負面影響是極其重大的，除了直接會影響到當事人名譽權、隱私權和工作權，乃至於當事人的人格尊嚴等。這種會造成當事人嚴重後果的行為，必須要完善救濟的途徑。目前因為學位撤銷而引起的糾紛已經納入到司法審查的範圍，不過，因為關係到高校的「學術自由」，法院對學位撤銷糾紛進行審理時，一般僅會審查高校在學位撤銷過程中是否遵循正當程序原則，至於實質性學術不端問題，法院一般不會進行審查。本文以北京大學撤銷于艷茹博士學位案為例，分析學位撤銷存在的爭點，企盼更全面認識中國大陸學生權益救濟法制。

 

In recent years, college students often take their alma mater to court because they have been punished or can not accept the corresponding punishment. Students think that the results of the school seriously infringe on their right to education or other basic rights. On the one hand, the legal consciousness of College Students’ self-protection is constantly improving, on the other hand, it also reflects the illegality of the student rights relief procedure in dealing with students’ violations. degree is not only a symbol of academic level, but also a prerequisite for obtaining corresponding economic and social status. When colleges and universities make the decision to cancel their degrees, they must take into account both substantive justice and procedural justice, not only to maintain academic value and academic ethics, but also to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of students. In particular, the negative impact of degree revocation on the parties is extremely significant, in addition to directly affecting the party’s right to reputation, privacy and work, and even the party’s personal dignity. This kind of behavior will cause serious consequences of the parties, we must improve the way of relief. At present, the disputes caused by the revocation of degree have been included in the scope of judicial review. However, because it is related to the "academic freedom" of colleges and universities, when the court tries the dispute of revocation of degree, it generally only examines whether colleges and universities follow the principle of due process in the process of revocation of degree. As for the substantive academic misconduct, the court generally does not review it. Taking the case of the Yu Yanru’s doctorate degree from Peking University as an example, this paper analyzes the dispute points of degree withdrawal and hopes to have a better understanding of the legal system of student rights relief in Chinese mainland.

Theories and practices of teachers’ professional development almost focus more on improvement of educational profession knowledge than life of teachers. Researches of educational aesthetics seldom apply natural aesthetic experiences on teachers’ professional development. This study aims at using literature analysis as the method, supplemented by interview, to inquire the meaning, function and implementation of teachers’ professional development based on natural aesthetic experience. The meaning of this approach is to enrich teachers’ life experience, and enlighten their reflection on daily life, teaching, vocation, and life meaning, then can improve professional competence further more. There are six functions of teachers’ professional development based on natural aesthetic experience as: improving the will to engage teachers’ professional development actively; affording the resource of innovation ideas on curriculum and teaching; improving competence of classroom management; affording effects on physical and psychological therapy; enforcing literacy of environmental education; promoting quality of life and life wisdom. Finally, this study also provides some principles and suggestions of implementation for elementary and junior high schools.

 
Sustainability indicators of the Brazil nut tree management
Authors: Fonseca Fernanda Lopes da , Rover Oscar José , Wadt Lucia Helena de Oliveira , Cartaxo Cleisa Brasil da Cunha
Published: September 2021

Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl) management, is a traditional activity that plays a key role in the economy of forestbased Amazon communities and in the conservation of forests. Nevertheless, some threats and critical points related to sustainability indicate to the need for establishment of monitoring procedures that can assist in the management of this natural resource. The overall aim of the research was to evaluate the MESMIS method as a tool to support the participatory definition of sustainability indicators to monitor Brazil nut management, and the viability of Brazil nut harvest over time. For that, we carried out a case study in the Porvir Community, RESEX Chico Mendes, Acre State (Brazil), aiming to integrate the perceptions of Brazil nut harvesters, researchers, managers, and technicians to define the indicators. The result was the generation of 18 strategic indicators to assess sustainability in the environmental, technical-economic and social dimensions. Assessment parameters, representing conditions that must be achieved for system sustainability, were collectively defined for each indicator. The main critical values attributed in the evaluation of the indicators are related to Brazil nut commercialization to intermediaries and oscillation in the annual fruit production. The use of the MESMIS method was considered appropriate to the studied context and can be recommended to similar non-timber forest product management systems.

It was shown in the past that different re-tanning agents were used as a repellent to enhance the antifungal properties of the hydrothermal stability of the skins of ancient book covers, including the aluminum sulphate-stabilized complex aluminum salt (Al-ЭDA).
Although the skin treatment with this re-tanning agent improves the properties of the skin, the collagen structure cannot be considered very safe, i.e., it was relatively low. An additional biocidal substance, catamine AB, was used to ensure the antifungal properties of the treated leather. That is why, a new aluminum complex material has been synthesized for the skin re-tanning of the covers. As a stabilizer of aluminum sulphate, trimethylmeleme was used, for the production of which the meleme material was taken and reacted with formaldehyde. The resulting trimethylolmeleme, having three methylol groups, can form a complex salt when it interacts with aluminum sulphate.
The mentioned complex material was filtered and the water part was removed from the crystals formed from the purified liquid by evaporation. The resulting complex salt is soluble, and the crystals left on the filter are insoluble. Both were tested as re-tanning agent samples on the cover leather samples.
Treatment with crystals separated from the filtered liquid completely increases the welding point of the skin treated with the tannin extract of ancient leather up to 1000C and more, and up to 75-770C during re-tanning with the complex salt removed from the filter.
The research of antifungal properties of the complexes has identified an expressive activity of the difficulty of dissolving complex II in comparison to the compound used earlier.
High hydrothermal stability gives strength, less elasticity and other high-performance properties to the leather
As definições de “gênero lírico” nos livros didáticos: problematizações e possibilidades quanto à formação de leitores
Authors: Guerra Caroline Dambrozio , De Martini Marcus
Published: September 2021

Neste artigo, realizamos um levantamento dos conceitos de “gênero lírico” presentes nos livros didáticos de Língua Portuguesa selecionados no Programa Nacional de Livro Didático (PNLD), na edição de 2018. Tendo em vista as dificuldades de abordagem da leitura de poemas em sala de aula, um dos objetivos deste texto é verificar em que medida a problemática conceituação de lírica interfere – negativamente – na própria leitura de textos literários em sala de aula, ao apresentar conceitos teóricos que não se fundamentam na prática da leitura de textos selecionados. Dessa forma, ao recuperarmos a escolarização da poesia e ao percebermos quais características contribuem para a permanência de seu conturbado ensino, propomos, de maneira sintética, uma possibilidade de abordagem didática que busca amenizar as dificuldades da formação de leitores literários de poesia nas escolas.

Considerando a relevância dos gêneros textuais ao ensino de línguas, este trabalho tem por finalidade analisar como as atividades de leitura são orientadas nos livros didáticos de Língua Inglesa do Ensino Médio com vistas ao letramento crítico. Esta produção é um recorte de um estudo vinculado ao Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC/CNPq 2019/2020). Nesse sentido, analisamos a coleção Way to Go e como parâmetros de análise, levamos em consideração a indicação de gênero textual, propósito comunicativo, forma composicional, suporte e a orientação para o posicionamento crítico dos alunos.  Diante de nossos resultados, percebemos que a maioria das unidades apontam atividades embasadas em gêneros textuais, indicando a forma composicional, suporte e atenção ao desenvolvimento da criticidade dos alunos. No tocante ao propósito comunicativo, vimos que muitas atividades deixam de atender a esse critério. A coleção estudada apresenta, portanto, uma adequação parcial com as teorias relacionadas a este estudo.

Rhipsalis baccifera (Sol.) Stearn is a typical cactus from tropical regions with wide geographic distribution, and its therapeutic potential is not yet fully understood, such as antitumoral property. Thus, this study evaluated the cytotoxic ethanolic extract of R. baccifera (EERB) and its antitumor activity against Erlich's tumor in mice. The EERB was obtained, and its phytochemical profile was filed by thin-layer chromatography. The toxicity was evaluated in vitro and in vivo using the microcrustacean Artemia salina Leach and mice. The lethal dose was determined after implantation of a tumor cell suspension, with subsequent treatment with EERB (200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg) 48h after implantation. These values represent the tenth part of the DL50 and CL50, respectively. The presence of phenols, tannins and triterpenes were demonstrated in the phytochemical results. Toxicity was dose-dependent, and the tumor inhibition was 84.1% and 75.8% at doses of 200 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, respectively. We can highlight that the growth of Erlich's carcinoma suffered inhibitory effects against the EERB. EERB was found to have low acute toxicity and a high potential for use in antitumor therapy. Thus, new studies involving pre-clinical and clinical analyses of the extract are essential to determine the safe dose.

Nowadays, humanity is increasingly focusing on the principles of sustainable development, which are becoming more and more important, and universities are acting as agents to promote these principles in society. Many universities are doing important work regarding environmental issues, but also social and economic issues, thus including the three dimensions of sustainability. This article highlights important concepts related to sustainable development, compares and contrasts the definitions of education for sustainable development versus environmental education. The aim of this study is to examine the need to create a universal tool for assessing sustainability and to incorporate it into the classification system of universities. Finally, it can be said that higher education institutions need to make more strenuous efforts to improve their performance in relation to the variables of environment, infrastructure, transport and education.
The Importance of English Trade and Capital for Understanding Historical Processes in the Work of Philosopher Stefan Zeletin
Authors:   Free International University of Moldova, Horeanu Ionut
Published: September 2021

The interwar philosopher, economist and sociologist Stefan Zeletin1, professor at the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, has special contributions in various domains related to the social sciences. The merit of the interwar thinker consists in giving meaning and significance to some economic phenomena and events. Subsequently, the valences of events of economic importance were analysed, up to the implications they have on historical processes. More precisely, Zeletin shows us that we can understand the historical purpose of some peoples, namely of the Romanian nation, based on treaties or economic decisions in the international system. The Treaty of Adrianople (1829) is analysed by the Romanian intellectual in terms of the implications of English trade and capital on the Romanian Principalities.
Institutional Change as a Strategic Option in the Activity of the State Tax Service
Authors:   Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova, Turcanu Igor
Published: September 2021

The latest processes, which take place in the socio-economic and political system of the country, determine the State Tax Service to be much more transparent and dynamic in its activity. Transparency and dynamism is conditioned, in particular, by legal entities, who want to develop partnership relations with the State Tax Service by establishing a constructive dialogue, by implementing the voluntary compliance mechanism, by popularizing the existing tax legislation in the field. The change of attitude is necessary both for the internal and external environment of the public institution, considering that the taxpayers are targeted. Thus, the process of change, within the State Tax Service, can be carried out by the institutional management, using different approaches, depending on the premises from which these changes start. From this perspective, this article comes with some suggestions and recommendations on improving the tax mechanism through the change management.

Theoretical and Practical Aspects Regarding Third Parties in the Light of Contracts’ Effects Relativity Principle
Authors:   Moldova State University, Beliban-Rațoi Ludmila
Published: September 2021

The contract is the subject of civil law that creates the basic entity of the national and international economy, and the contracting process is the most important stage in economic affairs in general. Naturally producing effects between the parties, we can say that vis-à-vis the parties, the contract is binding, or, in other words, the signatory parties must comply with the provisions of the contract. On the other hand, compared to third parties, the effects of the contract being only an exception, we can say that the production of the effects towards them is relative. This study represents an exemplary synthesis of the theoretical and practical dimension of the issue of the third party notion in the light of the new regulations of the Civil Code, norms that created new ways of economic development of the Republic of Moldova.

Mastering the Aria through Song: Daron Hagen’s Amelia, “Apostrophe to the Stars,” and Selected Hagen Art Songs
Authors: Kosin Kelci
Published: September 2021

Contemporary arias in English are too often excluded from student repertoire because they are perceived as being overly complex atonal works that are too challenging for the student. In order to counter this misconception, voice teachers should foster curiosity within students to seek repertoire with an open mind. Exploring music of living composers such as Daron Hagen can ignite student interest in contemporary art song and opera literature that expands the realms of what is thought to be traditional or appropriate vocal repertoire for students seeking a professional singing career.

Published: September 2021

The present work proposes to evaluate the Socio formation as a strategy of university curricular planning of a formative project. The research methodology used is of a qualitative approach with an action-research scope, built from practice, in such a way that students have a training according to their future work context. The sample is made up of 69 students from the Indoamérica Technological University, Basic Education career of the formative project of the formative project of Aesthetic Appreciation, Body Expression and Movement, distance modality. The results were favorable, indicating that the activities carried out provided knowledge, were pertinent and sufficient for professional application, however, the students made suggestions for improvement such as extending the delivery deadlines of activities, greater use of technology plus synchronous classes, improving the products of each activity so that they are more attached to the educational reality among others. It is concluded that each of the steps carried out in the planning, organize the teaching work providing sequentiality in the teaching-learning processes but that aspects such as transdisciplinarity and communication with the student in the distance modality still have to be strengthened. Keywords: contents, strategy, planning, training project.
Morphophysiology of the Epididymis of the African Sideneck Turtle (Pelusios ‎castaneus): Histological, Microstereological and Ultrastructural Approach
Authors: Olukole Samuel , Oke Bankole
Published: September 2021

This study was carried out to describe the morphophysiology of the epididymis of the adult African sideneck turtle using histological, microstereological and ultrastructural methods. The epididymal duct lies within a relatively thin sheath of connective tissue, and is lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium. Unlike luminal diameter and stereocilial height, epithelial height, as well as the population of principal cells, decreased from the proximal to posterior segment. The clear cells of the turtle epididymis are limited to the posterior segment of the duct. Basal and apical cells as well as intra-epithelial lymphocytes are all distributed across the three segments of the epididymis while macrophage-like cells are absent throughout the length of the duct epithelium. The structure of the African sideneck turtle epididymis demonstrates, as in most mammals and few reptiles studied to date, obvious regional differentiation of the duct epithelium with evidences of secretory and endocytotic abilities as demonstrated by the contents of highly developed endoplasmic reticulum and secretory blebs in the principal and basal cells as well as clear cells, believed to be concerned with endocytosis. The outcome of the study is expected to be useful in the comparative structural and functional anatomy of turtle epididymis.

The effects of graded levels of dietary protein on some haematological parameters in pubertal Yankasa rams were studied. They were randomly divided into three treatment groups (A, B and C). Groups A, B and C received 10%, 15% and 20% crude protein respectively. All rams were fed a basal diet of hay (Digitaria spp) ad-libitum and given a supplement ration of concentrate mixture at 2% body weight/day. Blood was collected once weekly via jugular venepuncture into heparinised test-tubes, and transported to the laboratory for determination of red blood cell counts, packed cell volume, white blood cell counts and total protein for twelve weeks. The overall mean red blood cell values obtained were 4.2 ± 0.1 ×106 µl, 5.2 ± 0.1 106 µl and 5.06 ± 0.1 ×106 µl, for groups A, B and C respectively. The difference between values obtained for groups B and C were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Mean packed cell volumes obtained in this study revealed that rams fed 15% crude protein had significantly (P < 0.05) higher values (31.3 ± 0.9%) than those fed 10% (25.9± 0.7%) but similar to those fed 20% (30.33 ± 0.56%) crude protein. There were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in mean white blood cell counts and total protein concentrations between all groups of animals fed 10% CP. Feeding rams diets containing 15 % CP (cotton seed cake and palm kernel cake) gave better values in terms of packed cell volume and red blood cell counts, than feeding diets containing 10% and 20% C.P. While graded levels of dietary protein was shown to affect packed cell volume and total protein concentration, it had no significant effect on red blood cell and white blood cell counts.

This report describes a case of thoraco-omphalopygopagus type of conjoined twins in one-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) in Maiduguri, Nigeria. The conjoined camel fetuses were observed during postmortem at the Maiduguri Metropolitan Abattoir. Necropsy and radiography were carried out. There was thoracolumbar scoliosis in both fetuses, common thoracic and abdominal cavities separated by a diaphragm, fully developed but separate body features such as head, neck, limbs and tail. The heart, respiratory system and spleen were also separate but the fetuses shared a single large liver. Each fetus had separate gastrointestinal tract from mouth to cranial two third of jejunum that fused to form single caudal one third of jejunum and extended to the rectum. There were four ureters connected to a single bladder.There were bilateral kidneys and testicles located in the abdomen of each fetus. The findings of this report may assist to surgically resolve such cases when delivered alive for the survival of the twins or one of them. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of thoraco-omphalopygopagus twin in one-humped camel.
