Differential expression of LINC00588 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of LINC00588, encoding long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 588, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS). LINC00588 was also differentially expressed in the lymphocytes of patients with sporadic ALS. LINC00588 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in sALS patient fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

The Positive Role of Attitude Toward of Vendor in Mediating the Relationship Between Vendor Cognition and Advertise Cognition on Vendor Usage Intention
Authors: Farhanah Nanda , Haryanto Budhi
Published: September 2022

This article aims to explain the influence of vendor cognition and advertise cognition on vendor usage intention mediated by positive attitude towards of vendor. The literature review was conducted to identify the variables that build the conceptual model. The expected findings are that there is a positive relationship between vendor perception and positive attitude towards vendor usage intentions and a positive relationship between advertise cognitive and positive attitude towards vendor usage intentions. This study also explains the dimensions of familiarity, credibility, and trust that produce vendor cognition. Furthermore, this study also explains the dimensions of entertain, creativity, and informative that produces advertise cognition. This study provides an alternative conceptual model in the field of consumer behavioral. Researchers hope this research can provide an understanding to wedding marketers to design effective marketing strategies to influence potential consumers. This paper is also expected to contribute theoretically, practically and possibly can be used for future studies.
Seasonal flow types of glaciers in Sermilik Fjord, Greenland, over 2016–2021
Authors: Poinar Kristin
Published: September 2022

Greenland glaciers have three primary seasonal ice flow patterns, or “types”: terminus driven, runoff driven, and runoff adapting. To date, glacier types have been identified by analyzing flow at a single location near the terminus; information at all other locations is discarded. Here, we use principal component (PC) / empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis to decompose multi-year time series of glacier speed, combined from three satellite-derived products at four glaciers feeding Sermilik Fjord, Greenland. This improves on single-point methods by yielding temporal patterns (PCs), which allow identification of glacier type, and associated spatial patterns (EOFs), which ensure the result reflects data at all locations on the glacier. We find that the leading mode is uniformly signed over the entire glacier domain, that this mode explains the majority of the variance in speed, and therefore that glacier type can be inferred from the leading PC. We find that Helheim Glacier was terminus-driven, Fenris Glacier and Midgard Glacier were runoff-adapting, and Pourquoi-Pas Glacier was runoff-driven over 2016-2021. Our classification agrees with previous work for Helheim and Midgard Glaciers, but differs at the other two. At all but Fenris Glacier, the leading PC correlates significantly with the speed pattern observed at the single point used in previous analyses. Thus, Fenris Glacier has more complex flow patterns than single-point analysis can capture, and wider spatial analysis techniques such as EOF/PC are required. We suggest that, due to its low computational cost and inclusion in standard analysis packages, EOF/PC analysis should be used for assessing glacier type.

In this article we present examples and reflections about potential pitfalls of conducting research with Tibetan monks in south India. We report the results from a study in which experienced and inexperienced Tibetan monks were compared with western participants in tasks assessing association memory, logic and spatial complex working memory. Contrary to our expectations, the experienced monks performed less well or similarly well on the tasks than the inexperienced monks. Western participants performed better than the monks in all tasks. We argue that cultural differences such as values, education and cognitive styles may have been underestimated, which lead to unexpected data. We suggest that when conducting research with currently underrepresented non-western populations, it is crucial to not underestimate the often latent cultural differences and take them into account when designing tasks. Moreover, as has already been pointed out by various researchers, quite generally there should be more explicit description of cultural background and greater reflection on its function.
Writing Matters
Authors: Feld Jan , Ross Libby , Lines Corinna
Published: September 2022

For papers to have scientific impact, they need to impress our peers in their role as referees, journal editors, and members of conference committees. Does better writing help our papers make it past these gatekeepers? In this study, we estimate the effect of writing quality by comparing how 30 economists judge the quality of papers written by PhD students in economics. Each economist judged five papers in their original version and five different papers that had been language edited. No economist saw both versions of the same paper. Our results show that writing matters. Compared to the original versions, economists judge edited versions as higher quality; they are more likely to accept edited versions for a conference; and they believe that edited versions have a better chance of being accepted at a good journal.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. Marketing elements on packaging can influence the appeal of electronic cigarette (EC) products. ECs can contain nicotine and their long-term health effects are unknown; it is important to monitor elements such as packaging which may influence the appeal and uptake of EC products by youth. This study therefore aims to describe marketing elements used on the packaging of commonly used EC products in England, Canada, and the US, countries with different EC marketing regulations. Methods and analysis. We will conduct two content analyses of EC products and their packaging. The first will focus on liquid-containing products (disposable devices, e-liquid refills) in Canada, England, and the US; the second on EC devices (tank, cartridge, and disposable) in England. We will use a codebook to systematically record elements present on EC products and their packaging, including: warnings, product information (e.g., flavour and nicotine), characteristics and design of the packaging and the product (e.g., shape, size), claims (e.g., health-related, cost-related), digital and interactive elements, colours, other graphic elements, and coder impressions. EC products will be sampled based on the most popular brands identified from surveys conducted by the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC) and Action on Smoking and Health (ASH). Approximately 144 products will be sampled for the cross-country analysis and 45 for the single-country analysis. We will report frequencies of each element, discuss frequently identified codes, and describe any notable differences between countries and product types. Ethics and dissemination. No ethical concerns. Results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
Telepathy, anomalous experience and the relation to the autism spectrum
Authors: Ekblad Leif
Published: September 2022

Objective: To define and explore the electromagnetic field theory of telepathy and its relation to the broader autism spectrum, to explore connections between various anomalous experiences and the broader autism spectrum, and to evaluate the validity of links between anomalous experiences, personality, and abuse in light of possible links to the broader autism spectrum. Method: Online studies used a questionnaire adapted to measure the broader autism phenotype as the base tool. First, a sensing presence item was added to check telepathy. Next, four personality measures relating to absorption, fantasy proneness, schizotypy, and thin boundaries were added in pairs to check the connections between items. Last, a new anomalous experience and psi questionnaire was created and checked. Results: Sensing a presence, most anomalous experiences, and most psi traits had considerable correlations to the broader autism phenotype. Sensing electromagnetic fields was the primary item contributing to sensing a presence. Conclusion: The study provides evidence that telepathy is the primary psi trait. The belief in telepathy and the ability to use telepathy are considerably more common in people with autistic traits. Anomalous experiences are also considerably more common in people with autistic traits, and many of the traits are correlated to each other. Broader autism traits generally are correlated to each other. Because of this, people must be cautious before assuming that a correlation to an autistic trait, an anomalous experience, or a psi trait is indicative of a causative link.
Older adults’ views on training tools to prevent cognitive decline

Published: September 2022

Computerized training platforms could be an accessible means for older adults to maintain cognitive health, and several such tools are already commercially available. However, it remains unclear whether older adults’ use these tools if training is not externally prescribed. We explored older adults’ self-initiated experiences with cognitive training. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 community-dwelling adults aged 58-85 years, comprising university retirees (N=8) and public housing residents (N=5). Interviews were analyzed by thematic analysis. No participants voluntarily used cognitive training, and those who had done so previously reported negative experiences. Several factors shaped older adults’ engagement with cognitive training, especially a preference for stimulating activities that are organic and inherently enjoyable. We reveal a mismatch between older adults’ priorities and the interventions currently available and uncover issues of access and interest among low-income and minority individuals. We suggest ways to better align future interventions with older adults’ priorities.
Dispositional and situational attributions for why the rich live longer than the poor
Authors: Bridger Emma , Hewett Angela , comerford david
Published: September 2022

Despite considerable focus on predictors of attitudes towards economic inequality, there is less psychological research into attitudes towards other unequal outcomes between the rich and poor, including differences in health and life expectancy. Two studies examine whether causal attributions for these socioeconomic health inequalities predict attitudes towards them. A cross-sectional study of 332 UK and US respondents showed that most respondents indicate a preference for some degree of income inequality but no life expectancy inequality between the richest and poorest in society. These preferences for equal life expectancy for the rich and poor were significantly less likely for respondents who viewed health inequalities to be caused by dispositional factors (e.g., self-control, ability or effort). In a second pre-registered cross-sectional study (n = 602), dispositional attributions negatively predicted self-reported concern about health inequality, whilst endorsing situational attributions (e.g., discrimination and prejudice, wages) was positively associated with concerns on this issue. Moreover, situational attributions positively predicted support for six policy proposals for reducing health inequality, whilst dispositional attributions were associated with increased support for some of these interventions and decreased support for others. Despite very distinct distribution preferences for income and life expectancy outcomes, causal attributions continue to predict attitudes towards health inequality and associated policy interventions.
Gambling with Lives and Money: Evidence for Conformity in Moral and Monetary Decisions under Risk
Authors: Jiang Yueyi , Marcowski Przemysław , Ryazanov Arseny , Winkielman Piotr
Published: September 2022

Many consider moral decisions to follow an internal “moral compass”, resistant to social pressures. Here we examine if social influence shapes moral decisions under uncertainty. Further, we examine if decision-making and social influence operate similarly in moral and non-moral domains and domains of gains versus losses. We employed an adapted Asian Disease Paradigm in which participants chose between certain losses/gains and probabilistic losses/gains in a series of moral (lives) or financial (money) decisions. Participants first indicated their baseline risk preferences. Then, in a series of trials, they guessed preferences of a group and were given trial-by-trial feedback suggesting that the group is either risk-seeking or risk-averse. Subsequently, participants’ risk preferences were assessed again. We found that after exposure to group norms, participants shifted their own moral choices towards the observed group’s risk preferences, for both gain and losses. Unlike for moral decisions, for monetary decisions group norms shifted participants’ risk preferences only when norms ran against to participants’ default behavior -- risk seeking for gains and risk averse for losses (as predicted by prospect theory). Such effects on moral and monetary preferences persisted after three days. Taken together, our results demonstrate that moral decisions under risk are susceptible to social influence in the domains of losses and gains, and that moral decisions, and their susceptibility to social influence, differ from decisions in monetary domain.
Exploring the use of a dance-based exergame to enhance autistic children’s social communication skills in the home and school environments: a feasibility study.
Authors: Morris Phoebe , Hope Ed , Foulsham Tom , Mills John Paul
Published: September 2022

Autistic individuals often display social-communicative and emotional differences that can affect various aspects of daily living. Furthermore, autistic children are more likely to partake in sedentary activities than their neurotypical counterparts. Therefore, the present study assessed the feasibility and potential efficacy of a dance-based exergame for enhancing autistic children’s social communication skills in the home and school environments. A mixed method, within-subject, pre-test/post-test study design was employed. Children in their home environment (n = 4; Mage = 8.25 years old, SD = 0.50) and school environment (n = 31; Mage = 10.87 years old, SD = 1.61) participated in a structured dance-based exergaming (Just Dance) intervention for six weeks. Measures consisted of a pre-distributed calendar, the Emotion Regulation and Social Skills Questionnaire, behavioural observations, and a semi-structured exit interview with parents and teachers. The intervention positively influenced autistic children’s social communication skills between pre-intervention and post-intervention (P < 0.01) and further results suggested that Just Dance was a fun and enjoyable exergame that was easily implemented in different environments. The present feasibility study advocates that Just Dance is an engaging physical activity that children and parents/teachers can participate in together, within their respective environments. A larger randomised control trial is warranted to confirm the true effectiveness of the dance-based exergame for enhancing autistic children’s social-communication skills.

Published: September 2022

See original paper at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apa.16560 Aim: To understand why some parents are less sensitive to infant cues than others, we need to understand how healthy parents respond, and how this is influenced by factors such as sleep deprivation. Here, we examined whether sleep deprivation alters the self-infant-prioritisation effect in a population of first-time mothers within their first year of motherhood.Methods: The study took place at Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark from August 2018 until February 2020. First-time mothers were recruited through Midwife clinics, national and social media. All women completed a perceptual matching task including an infant category. The mothers were divided into two groups depending on their sleep status: below or above 7 hours of average night-time sleep, measured with actigraphy. Results: Forty-eight first-time mothers at the age of 29.13 ± 3.87 years were included. In the sleep-deprived group, the infant category was statistically significantly higher in accuracy (p=0.005) and faster in reaction time (p<0.001) than all other categories. In contrast, in the non-sleep-deprived group, there was no statistically significant difference between self and infant, neither in accuracy, nor reaction time. Conclusion: Sleep-deprived new mothers strongly prioritised infants over self, while non-sleep-deprived new mothers showed no prioritisation of the self over the infant.
Construir escuela con la comunidad: alianzas educativas para la emancipación, el compromiso y la acción
Authors: Rivera-Vargas Pablo , Puigcercos Raquel Miño
Published: September 2022

Cada vez se hacen más notorias las voces que defienden la necesidad de transformación y reconstrucción de un sistema educativo que esté conformado por escuelas que contribuyan a formar una ciudadanía más solidaria, crítica y comprometida por el bien común. Voces que apuestan por intensificar los esfuerzos por conectar la escuela con las comunidades, y desde ahí construir un proyecto educativo que favorezca la identificación y el compromiso del estudiantado con su propia experiencia formativa. A partir de este impulso transformador, que tiene como objetivo resignificar y fortalecer tanto la escuela como la experiencia educativa del estudiantado, en el presente capítulo nos planteamos la siguiente pregunta: ¿cómo es posible orientar la transformación educativa desde una propuesta emancipadora basada en la alianza entre escuelas y comunidades? La estructura de este trabajo incluye tres apartados: 1) un análisis sobre los procesos de transformación educativa y la emergencia de la agencia transformadora; 2) una discusión a partir de la descripción de iniciativas de transformación educativa basadas en la creación de alianzas entre centros públicos de educación secundaria, comunidades y colectivos que conforman la sociedad, y 3) una propuesta de diez preguntas para detonar diálogos entre los actores implicados en educación. Nuestro propósito en este trabajo es, primero, contribuir a la comprensión de los movimientos y las prácticas generadas entre las escuelas y la ciudadanía en el tiempo, en su intento por construir maneras de habitar el mundo que busquen el bien común. Y segundo, a través de los casos que se describen, dejar en evidencia que ya existen prácticas educativas comprometidas con la transformación, pero cuyo impacto en la formación de los jóvenes debe ser analizado y difundido para que sean sostenibles y puedan transferirse a otros contextos educativos.
“The CDC Won’t Let Me Be.” The Opinion Dynamics of Support for CDC Regulatory Authority
Authors: Motta Matt , Callaghan Timothy , Trujillo Kristin Lunz
Published: September 2022

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) play a central role in responding to communicable disease threats. Its authority to do so, however, has recently met significant political and legal opposition. Unpacking the dynamics of public support for CDC authority is an important question, as doing so can provide insight into whether policymakers might have an incentive to expand (or curtail) the agency’s regulatory powers. In a demographically representative survey of 5,483 US adults, we find that most Americans support the CDC’s role in responding to health crises, although self-identified conservatives are less likely to do so. Consistent with the idea that opposition to CDC-authority may result (in part) from receptivity to elite anti-CDC rhetoric, the effect of ideology holds when accounting for respondents’ limited government and anti-expert attitudes; an effect we replicate in nationally representative data from the American National Election Study (ANES). Encouragingly, though, we find via a novel survey experiment that emphasizing the CDC’s central role in combating the spread of COVID-19 is associated with significantly stronger levels of support on the ideological right. We conclude by discussing how these findings might influence effective health communication in the face of mounting political and legal challenges to CDC regulatory authority.
A Thousand Cuts: Cumulative Lead Exposure Reduces Academic Achievement
Authors: Hollingsworth Alex , Huang Mike , Rudik Ivan , Sanders Nicholas
Published: September 2022

We study how ambient lead exposure impacts learning in elementary school by leveraging a natural experiment where a large national automotive racing organization switched from leaded to unleaded fuel. We find increased levels and duration of exposure to lead negatively affect academic performance, shift the entire academic performance distribution, and negatively impact both younger and older children. The average treated student in our setting has an expected income reduction of $5,200 in present value terms. Avoiding said treatment has an effect size similar to improving teacher value added by one-fourth of a standard deviation, reducing class size by 3 students, or increasing school spending per pupil by $750. The marginal impacts of lead are larger in impoverished, non-white counties, and among students with greater duration of exposure, even after controlling for the total quantity of exposure.
Consonants and Vowels in English and Wambule: A Contrastive Study
Authors: Rai Ichchha Purna
Published: September 2022

This paper deals with the Wambule phonemes and compares and contrasts them with English phonemes. Wambule, a Tibeto-Burman language is spoken by the same sub-ethnic group of Rai and English, though international language, is taught as one of the compulsory subjects from Nursery to Bachelor level in Nepal. In Nepalese context, Wambule speakers should compulsorily learn English. So, contrastive analysis between two languages plays a great role in suggesting some pedagogical implications. This paper attempts to compare and contrasts between two languages’ phonemes and suggests some pedagogical implications in brief.
Exploring the Tourism Potentiality of Chuliban Hill in Dhankuta Municipality
Authors: Rai Pradeep
Published: September 2022

Chuliban Hill is a forest-covered hill situated in Dhankuta Municipality, ward numbers 7 and 8. The forest is owned and protected by three different forest user groups formed under the Division Forest Office of Dhankuta. For the past several years various attempts at developing the Chuliban Hill as a major tourist destination within Dhankuta Municipality have been made. But only a few attempts have been successful so far, and only a few domestic tourists do actually come to visit the place. Against this background, this research work explores the actual and optimum tourism potentiality of the Chuliban Hill and its developmental challenges by investigating the facts through close observation and interviewing all the major stakeholders. At the end of the research, it was found that the Chuliban Hill actually possesses a very high potentiality for developing as a major tourist destination within Dhankuta Municipality. The plans and projects towards this aim have also been made at different levels and times. However, insufficient budget allocation and lack of proper coordination between the Municipality and the local forest user groups, apart from the coronavirus, have been the major hindrances that have caused the failure in realizing the full potentiality of the Chuliban Hill.
Plant Protection Measures of Crops: Prospects and Threats in Nepal
Authors: Wagle Shyam Prasad
Published: September 2022

The study focuses on the possibilities and threats of using plant protection measures on crop production particularly in the eastern hills of Nepal. Relevant data were collected from the interview, key informant survey and field observation. For this, 30 percent (180hhs) sample households were selected from three altitude belts such as upper, middle and lower, ranging from 300 to 2,250 masl along the Koshi-highway. It has a wide range of climates, ranging from sub-tropical to alpine with monsoon precipitation in the summer three and half months and therefore diversity in flora and fauna, and people. Similarly, secondary data were gathered from previous research journals, dissertations and official records.

This paper showed that plant protection measures are known as important technology for protection and promotion of both cash and cereal crops in this area. More than 72 percent (130hhs) farmers have been using this technology as a new innovation. The attraction of farmers towards traditional measures seems to be gradually increasing however; the newly developed measures are accepted as a necessary evil. The maximum effort of farmers seems to reduce the use of newly developed measures as far as possible. Thus, the use of traditional measures is as the wishes of the farmers, while the adoption of newly developed protection measures is found to be unintentional. But there is no possibility of reducing the use of these measures even if farmers want to at present. Lacks of timely identification of crop disease, negative impact of chemical pesticides on human health, lack of proper knowledge to use such technologies and inadequate supply of such technologies on time are major identified problems associated with this topic at present situation.

In this article, it is intended to describe the use of pronominal implicature (samvriti vakrata) in the epic 'Human' (Manav) composed by Modnath Prasrit, in order to solve the problem of what is the condition of the use of pronominal implicature in the epic. Pronominal implicature, one of the six gross types of implicature theory (Vakrokti Siddhanta) propounded by the Eastern scholar (Acharya) Rajanak Kuntak, is a variation of 'Padapurvardhda Vakrata'. This kind of implicature (Vakrata) occurs when the expression is obscured by the use of pronouns to make the expression strange. There are six variations of this implicature: the reservation of describable things (varnansambhav vastu), the reservation of inexpressible things (anirvachaniya vastu), the reservation of indescribable things (avarnaniya vastu), the reservation of perceptible things (anuvavsamvedya vastu), the reservation of out-perceptible things (paranuvav vastu) and the reservation of inexplicable things (varnanayukta vastu). Taking these six distinctions as a basis, these have been analyzed here using the theoretical applications of pronominal implicature as facts. Inductive method has been used in this article based on qualitative framework. In this poem, the use of all the variations of pronominal implicature are abundantly found, so it is concluded that this poem is rich in terms of the use of this type of implicature.
Satisfaction of Old Age Allowance among Senior Citizen in Lamjung District, Nepal
Authors: Sendhai Gopal Prasad
Published: September 2022

The old age allowance is the non-contribution allowance provided by the government of Nepal to improve the social and economic status of older people. The purpose of this study was to compare the social and economic impact of old age allowance and its satisfaction on older people in rural and urban areas in Nepal. A cross sectional, quantitative study was conducted in two different areas (Sunderbazar municipality and Kwholasothar rural municipality) in Lamjung. The information was collected from 202 elderly people (55.4%) from urban and 90 (44.6%) from rural areas) to know about their satisfaction in various aspects like social, economic, health, etc. regarding allowance by face-to-face interview. Chi-square test, t-test as well as One-way ANOVA tests were applied to find the factors associated with the satisfaction of elderly people among rural and urban areas. Elderly in rural were more satisfied than elderly from urban areas. The respondents in rural areas were satisfied in all five domains social, health, economic, basic needs and self-esteem but the respondents in urban areas were found to be satisfied only in two domains; self-respect and economic. The satisfaction of respondents with OAA is different in urban and rural areas. People who were satisfied with this allowance reported that it was an honor from the government and they can use this money on their own. It is an important contribution to keeping older people connected with family and community.

Odumiranjem stabala mijenjaju se stanišne prilike u šumskom ekosustavu, uslijed čega dolazi do promjene mikroklime i mikrobiološke aktivnosti tla. Cilj ovoga istraživanja je utvrditi razlike u mikroklimi staništa te u enzimatskoj aktivnosti šumskog tla u trima šumskim progalama i trima šumskim sastojinama obične jele s rebračom (Blechno-Abietetum Ht. 1950). Od mikroklimatskih elemenata mjerene su temperatura zraka, temperatura tla, relativna vlažnost zraka i volumetrijska vlažnost tla. Za određivanje kemijskih svojstava tla te dehidrogenazne i proteolitičke aktivnosti tala prikupljeni su kompozitni uzorci tla s dubine od 0 do 10 cm. U šumskim progalama utvrđene su značajno više vrijednosti temperatura zraka i tla te značajno niže vrijednosti relativne vlažnosti zraka i volumetrijske vlažnosti tla nego u šumskoj sastojini. Provedenim istraživanjem nisu utvrđene značajne razlike u kemijskim svojstvima tala između šumskih progala i sastojina. Zbog nesignifikantnih promjena kemijskih karakteristika tla, nisu utvrđene značajne promjene u enzimatskoj aktivnosti tala u progalama u odnosu na šumske sastojine. Temperatura zraka i temperatura tla povezane su s dehidrogenaznom aktivnosti tala, dok su temperatura tla i volumetrijska vlažnost tla povezane s proteolitičkom aktivnosti tala u šumskim progalama. Kemijska su svoj­stva tla također imale značajan utjecaj na enzimatsku aktivnost, jer se povećanjem udjela organske tvari, dušika, humusa i ugljika u tlu povećava i enzimatska aktivnost šumskih tala. Najveće korelacije enzimatske aktivnosti i kemijskih svojstava tla utvrđene su za proteolitičku aktivnost šumskih tala. Enzimatska aktivnost šumskih tala bila je najveća na početku vegetacijskog razdoblja u uvjetima optimalne temperature i vlažnosti tla.
Funding Allocations and Human Resources: Identifying Opportunity Gaps for English Language Learners in “Low-Achieving” and “High-Achieving” Districts in California
Authors: Olivares Marianna
Published: September 2022

English language learners (ELs) often attend schools where there are (1) inequitable access to appropriately trained teachers and limited professional development opportunities, (2) inadequate instructional time, and (3) inequitable access to instructional materials and curriculum. These conditions place ELs at a considerable disadvantage. Research aimed at analyzing budget accountability plans can help us gain a better understanding of EL-specific allocations that are most associated with student achievement. This qualitative research analyzed six California districts’ locally controlled budget plans to determine differences in funding allocations and targeted personnel funding for English language learners. Budget analysis revealed that all six districts dedicated the largest portion of their budgets to teachers and staff. Different allocation trends were seen between high- and low-achieving districts; but overall, districts did not have a major focus on the academic and personnel needs of ELs and their college and career readiness. Four districts dedicated at least some funding to ELs (0.09–2% of total budget), but there is a lack of targeted hiring for the quality staffing needs of ELs. Without access to appropriate resources and personnel, ELs cannot be expected to have the same opportunities as their non-EL peers.
Positive youth development in community sport: A program evaluation using the RE-AIM framework
Authors: Saizew Kelsey , Turnnidge Jennifer , Luciani Alicia , Côté Jean , Martin Luc
Published: September 2022

T
The need for developmentally appropriate youth sport programs has instigated evidence-informed research interventions, yet intersectoral exchanges with pre-existing community-based sport programs remain rare. As such, this study involved a collaborative evaluation of a community sport program designed for underserved youth using the RE-AIM framework (Glasglow et al., 1999). Data were available to evaluate the programs reach and maintenance; however, the adoption and implementation dimensions required further evidence-informed tools for reliable evaluation. Similarly, whereas the organization deemed their effectiveness to be a critical component of the program, an inadequate amount of data was available to enable its measurement. We provide recommendations for establishing partnerships between researchers and pre-existing youth sport programs and discuss the implications of developing a user-friendly and evidence-informed evaluation toolkit.

We present the case of a patient with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) post atrial switch repair (Mustard) with a failing sub-pulmonary left ventricle. Our case highlights the importance of early identification of a failing sub-pulmonary LV and the significance of utilising multi-modality imaging in diagnosing and monitoring these patients. Similarly, it emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach in managing patients with complex physical and psychological needs in relation to timely transplantation referral.
Proposals for improving the classification of land purpose types (on the example of the category of residential and public building lands)
Authors: Dorosh Y. , Dorosh O. , Kharytonenko R.
Published: September 2022

The current classification of land uses for residential and public development was analyzed and proved to be in need of improvement. Proposals for its improvement within the researched category of land based on current land legislation and other normative legal acts are given. It has been proven that the existing list of the main types of land plots (which are based on the content of Article 38 of the Land Code of Ukraine) in the current classification is incomplete and not fully justified. Examples of unjustified assignment of land plots of other land categories to the category of land for residential and public development were revealed. In accordance with this, a 4-level structure of the classification of types of land use for residential and public development is proposed.
Taking into account the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, it is currently impossible to use part of the land plots for their main purpose. From these positions, it is proposed to additionally highlight "technologically polluted lands as a result of hostilities" within the framework of the above-mentioned classifier. And after carrying out appropriate works on demining and reclamation of these lands to their safe use for people and the environment, they can be returned to use for the main purpose.

SONÂNCIAS, SILÊNCIOS E SENTIDOS EM BURITI DE GUIMARÃES ROSA
Authors: De Araújo Gilvan Charles Cerqueira
Published: September 2022

A intencionalidade da existência é um dos fundamentos da ontologia fenomenológica, que ocorre por diferentes atos perceptivos, emotivos, intelectivos, memoriais, cognitivos, imaginativos, dentre tantos outros, sendo a escuta uma das formas de direcionamento da intencionalidade da existência em relação a si mesma, o outro o mundo que habita. Neste artigo há a proposta de análise do papel ontológico da escuta no conto Buritis, de Guimarães, fazendo-se uso de autores da fenomenologia, trabalhos e reflexões da ciência geográfica e contribuições de autores da crítica literária na constituição de uma proposta ôntico-analítica do papel dos sentidos, silêncio e sonância, a partir do escutar atento, o auscultar, como alcance ontológico do devir existencial. O exercício analítico proposto perpassa paisagens, intencionalidades, sons, quietudes e a maneira pala qual os sentidos são trabalhados pelo autor mineiro pelas experiências e vivências de suas personagens no conto Buritis.

A SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA VARIACIONISTA E O PRECONCEITO LINGUÍSTICO NO CONTEXTO ESCOLAR:
Authors: Carvalho Regina Celia , Lopes Andreia Marcia Da Silva , Souza Nildene De Oliveira , Cavalcanti Ana Paula
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Com base nas teorias de pesquisadores como Ferdinand de Saussure, William Labov, Marcos Bagno e Magda Soares e a utilização de publicações acadêmicas sobre Linguística, Variedades Linguísticas e Preconceito Linguístico, bem como as orientações da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para abordagem das variações linguísticas, este estudo propôs-se a discutir o tema do preconceito linguístico no ambiente escolar, através de uma revisão da literatura de autores da área. Para consecução dos objetivos, realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, descritiva e qualitativa, com análises de dados por meio da análise de conteúdo. Dentre os resultados apresentados, as análises das publicações demonstraram que, embora no Brasil exista uma enorme variedade linguística, ainda hoje predomina nas escolas o ensino da língua portuguesa padrão, uma gramática normativa ou “língua culta”, que representa somente uma parte da língua falada no país. Assim, em consequência dessa imposição, segundo os autores analisados, há um conflito entre língua e a norma, resultando daí o preconceito linguístico. Concluiu-se também que os autores não defendem uma substituição integral da variedade falada pelo aluno, mas que a escola e outras instituições voltadas para a educação passem a reconhecer a diversidade linguística e, dessa forma, trabalhar por uma educação linguística que respeite as diferenças e seja inclusiva.
Introduction
Authors: Bucur Maria , Dalakoura Katerina , Daskalova Krassimira , Dudeková Kováčová Gabriela
Published: September 2022

This Forum introduces an innovative topic: the short but rich story of the local network of Eastern European feminists, the Little Entente of Women (LEW), which so far has attracted little attention among historians working on the region. The four authors present their analysis through the prism of entangled history. The introduction contextualizes the creation and activities of the LEW by providing background information about the post-World War I period, the tensions and struggles between the revisionist and antirevisionist states, and the entanglements between feminist and national goals and between nationalism and internationalism among women’s movements and feminisms at the time.
The Little Entente of Women, Feminisms, Tensions, and Entanglements within the Interwar European Women’s Movement
Authors: Daskalova Krassimira
Published: September 2022

This article discusses some aspects of the interwar women’s movements and feminist activities in Eastern Europe and the Balkans in particular, taking as a starting point the creation of the regional feminist network called the Little Entente of Women LEW). It shows that—despite the idea of “global sisterhood”—women’s actions have always been conditioned by the agenda of male political elites. At the same time, the article highlights some entanglements of the feminist activities and initiatives that shattered the (fraternal) social contracts of nation states and, already before World War II, won certain aspects of citizenship rights for women throughout the region of Southeastern Europe.
Between Transnational Cooperation and Nationalism
Authors: Dudeková Kováčová Gabriela
Published: September 2022

Focusing on the involvement of feminist activist women from Czechoslovakia in the Little Entente of Women (LEW), this article examines the ideological and political limits of transnational cooperation within such an international organization, one that aimed to promote women’s rights and pacifism in Central and Eastern Europe. The case of Czechoslovakia suggests that deep, ideological divisions between liberal feminist and conservative nationalist threads within the LEW’s national branch seriously undermined eff orts at unity and “global sisterhood” on the international level. It became possible to overcome ideological and political differences in the 1920s without questioning the very existence of the LEW. However, the antirevisionist political agenda of states involved in the LEW was a decisive factor in its reorganization. This article characterizes the rather limited impact of the LEW’s activities in Czechoslovakia and presents new details on its reorganization in the 1930s.
Alojzija Štebi, “Mišljenje javnosti i feminizam u Jugoslaviji” (Public Opinion and Feminism in Yugoslavia)
Authors: Grubački Isidora
Published: September 2022

This contribution is a translation of a speech given by the president of the Yugoslav Feminist Alliance, Alojzija Štebi, to the second conference of the Little Entente of Women (LEW) in Belgrade in 1924. The introduction contextualizes the source, introduces Alojzija Štebi through a biographical note, and offers a glimpse into Yugoslav women’s participation in the Little Entente of Women. It shows that Štebi’s conceptualization of feminism was inseparable from politics, called for political reform, and invited the members of the LEW to move toward the full-scale participation of women in politics and state affairs.
