Published: November 2024

The study was conducted to examine the consciousness levels of gifted children about children's rights and to compare them with their non-gifted peers. The general survey model was used in this study, in which the consciousness levels of gifted and non-gifted children on children's rights were compared. The study group of the research consists of 63 gifted and 65 non-gifted primary school students studying in a science and art center in Afyonkarahisar. In the research, the "Children's Rights Consciousness Level Determination Scale" developed by Akgül and Çağlayan (2019) was used to determine the consciousness levels of students about children's rights. In the analysis of the collected data, the difference between the groups was examined with the Mann Whitney U test using the data analysis program. As a result of the research, the consciousness level of gifted students about children's rights was found to be significantly higher than their non-gifted peers. In addition, this difference emerged in the "right to information and opinion" dimension of the scale. The unique developmental characteristics of gifted children may have an impact on their knowledge, consciousness and behavior towards children's rights. However, there is a need for comparative and longitudinal large-scale studies based on epidemiological data on the sensitivity of gifted children to children's rights. In addition, educational and behavioral interventions should be made in order to increase the consciousness of gifted children about children's rights, regardless of their educational environment.

The Nature of Pedagogical Support Provided by Departmental Heads to Reception Year Teachers in Primary Schools: A Case of South Africa
Authors: Rebecca Matshediso Modise
Published: November 2024

This research paper explored pedagogical leadership and its implementation by Departmental Heads (DHs) regarding the supervision and support of Reception year (Grade R) teachers in the Gauteng North District public schools, South Africa. Three objectives were framed for this study which applied the Atlas Ti software to analyse qualitative data. The research employed a descriptive single case study design. The population consisted of selected Reception year teachers and DHs. The purposive study sample comprised 13 DHs and 12 Reception year teachers. Vygotsky’s (1978) socio-cultural theory underpinned the study in line with pedagogical leadership principles regarding the supervision and support of Reception year teachers. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and individual semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data from primary school DHs and teachers. The interpretative lens was selected to explore and understand DHs' responses regarding aspects of supervision and support. The findings revealed that pedagogical leadership was ineffective when supervising teaching practice. The follow-up processes of guidance, assistance, and support, which were previously provided, were now non-existent. This reflected a disconnected understanding among participants of pedagogical leadership support for Reception year teachers. The recommendations included the following: provision of relevant resources for Reception year teachers (and learners) to exploit the benefits of Early Childhood Care and Education; ECCE education officers must regularly provide support and training for DHs on the importance of pedagogical leadership and how to effectively implement them; and DHs need to collaborate with Reception year teachers to improve their pedagogical support.
Development and Interaction of Sensory Systems in Babies
Authors: Eğrikılınç Duygu Akagündüz , Dere Zeynep
Published: November 2024

Sense enables babies to perceive the physical and chemical changes that occur in the external environment. It occurs as a result of the dynamic interaction of sensory stimuli with sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, tongue, nose, and skin. The stimuli that newborns see, touch, and hear affect their brain development. The brain develops faster in the early years than in other years. Newborns have a vestibular system, proprioceptive sense, neonatal imitation, and special senses that help them understand the world. Some babies’ senses are more sensitive than others. Each baby develops differently. The interaction that the baby will establish with his/her environment early on is invaluable for supporting its development. Their senses are stimulated from birth by the warm intimacy and contact established with the adult and the rich stimulating environment. Stimulation of the senses is critical to supporting the baby’s holistic development. This study discusses the relationship between interaction and the development of the sensory system in babies and offers suggestions for families and educators.

Turkish Preschoolers' Question and Response Interactions During the Evaluation of the day
Authors: Bay Dondu Neslihan
Published: November 2024

Research has shown that children's responses differ depending on the questions asked. These differences alter the questions that can be posed to children in an educational environment and the expectations about their possible responses. Understanding children's questions and the abstract level of their answers is key to support their development in this direction. The current study analyzed the questions that 211 five-year-old children in kindergartens and preschools in Turkey asked during the "evaluation of the day" activity and the characteristics of their responses to these questions. Language interactions occurred between children, and 268 questions and 2,574 responses were transcribed. The analysis utilized the coding scheme developed by Bay (2020) with reference to the works of Zucker et al. (2010) and Chen and Liang (2017), which delineate various levels of abstraction. Children's questions were coded according to the four abstraction levels defined and their answers were coded according to the three abstraction levels defined on the coding scheme. The results revealed that children's questions were mainly at the recall level (45.9%), seeking direct information. Their responses to the questions were mainly at the factual level (56%), reflecting the known reality. In addition, it was also found that (a) children least preferred to ask creation questions (5.2%), which were aimed at expressing their original thoughts; (b) children mostly preferred to give realistic responses to recall, inference and creation questions, and personal preference responses to preference questions; and (c) children gave creative responses to creation questions. The research findings provide a foundation for future studies on the nature of children's questions and responses in the coming years.

A large population on the globe is depends on groundwater for drinking and domestic purposes. Contamination of As imposes severe health consequences on the human health. Prolong exposure of As causes arsenocosis. So proper monitoring and the treatment of groundwater before human use is very much required. In the current review an endeavor has been made to recognize the kinetics and geochemistry of As in the aquifers. Different mitigation strategies of Arsenic removal from the groundwater are discussed in this paper. Different remedial measures like adsorption, oxidation, ion exchange, membrane process and phytoremediation of As contamination are described briefly.
Patterns and Population Dynamics of Inversion Polymorphism in different Species of Drosophila
Authors: Singh B. N.
Published: November 2024

The structural and numerical aberrations are known to occur in different species of plants and animals including humans. Paracentic inversions in Drosophila, pericentric inversions in grasshoppers, trananslocations in Oenothera lamarckian and polyploidy in plants have been studied in detail. The genus Drosophiala is an interesting biological model which belongs to the family Drosophilidae (Class-Insecta and Order-Diptera) characterised by rich species diversity at global level and also in India. More than 1500 species have been rereported at global levl and about 150 species from India. Inversions were detected about hundred years ago in Drosophila melanogaster through their suppressive effects on recombination by Sturtevant. Inversion polymorphism caused due to paracentic inversions have been studied in a lage number of species and about 100 species have been found to be chromosomally polymorphic. Inversions polymorphism has been studied in detail in certain species with respect to the patterns and population dynamics of inversion polymorphis. In this article, briefly the patterns and population dynamics of inversion polymorphism have been described in certain species. In several cases, it has been found that inversions are adaptive. But the precise selective mechanisms that maintain them polymorphic in naturlal populations remains poorly uderstood and it has been suggested by molecular evolutionary biologists that recent advances in the area of population genomics, modelling and functional genetics promise to geatly improve our uderstanging of this long standing and fundamental problem in the near future.

Species: Concepts and Categories
Authors: Singh B. N.
Published: November 2024

Species is considered as a basic unit of biological classification. The species problem goes back to early Greek philosophers and naturalists like Hippocrates, Plato and Aristotle who paid their attention to biological classification. Aristotle was considered as Father of biological classification. As far as species is concerned, his idea was a kind of typological or essentialism. Linnaeus, a great taxonomist was considered as father of taxonomy and the main proposer of typological species concept. Occam did not believe in typological species concept and proposed Nominalistic species concept. However, both these concepts of species could not be accepted by naturalists, biologists and evolutionists. An entirely new species concept emerged after this which was based on reproductive isolation and is called as biological species concept. and is considered as a most widely accepted concept of species although it has certain difficulties in its application. Even Darwin also believed in this species concept. After this period, a number of concepts of species have been suggested by numerous evolutionary biologists: evolutionary species, recognition species, phenetic species, phylogenetic species, ecological species, genetic species, genic species, cohesion species etc. The species is defined in different ways in different concepts of species but none of the species definition is flawless. Darwin, in his transmutation notebook, recognized the reality of species, on the basis of the criterion of noninterbreeding. As a consequence of this, he identified the acquisition of reproductive isolation as the mark of completion of the transition from permanent variety to the status of good species. Different terms related to species such as superspecies, polytypic species, monotypic species, subspecies, semi-species, sibling species, chronospecies, sympatric species, allopatric species, parapatric species and cryptic species have also been explained. In this article various concepts of species which define species in different ways and different terms related to species including intra specific categories are briefly described.

Authors: Pillon Y. , Hopkins H.C.F. , Wajer J.
Published: November 2024

The taxonomy of Stenocarpus (Proteaceae: Stenocarpinae) in New Caledonia is reviewed. The name S. grunowii is re-instated at specific rank. Stenocarpus dumbeensis, S. gracilis, S. intermedius, and S. phyllodineus are treated as synonyms of S. umbelliferus. Stenocarpus × heterophyllus is considered as a hybrid taxon involving parents with multifid and entire leaves. A new species, S. deweae, with red rather than white to yellowish flowers, is described, illustrated and assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN Red List criteria. These changes reduce the number of species now recognized in this genus in New Caledonia from twelve to nine, and all are endemic. An identification key is provided and lectotypes are designated for several names. We also propose new combinations for the three Australian species of Strangea, which are phylogenetically nested within Stenocarpus, with the result that subtribe Stenocarpinae now contains a single genus only, Stenocarpus. Lectotypes are designated for the two names in Strangea based on Drummond’s collections from Western Australia.

Published: November 2024

Este estudio analiza las buenas prácticas de mantenimiento en los sistemas de artillería del Ejército Nacional de Colombia, enfocándose en la frecuencia del mantenimiento, la capacitación del personal, la disponibilidad de herramientas y el nivel de cumplimiento de normativas. La metodología empleada combina un enfoque mixto, con un diseño transversal y un análisis de datos obtenidos a partir de encuestas realizadas a técnicos y militares involucrados en el proceso de mantenimiento. Se identificaron variables clave como la frecuencia del mantenimiento preventivo, el tipo de mantenimiento más frecuente, la disponibilidad de recursos y la percepción del cumplimiento normativo. Los resultados muestran que la falta de regularidad en el mantenimiento preventivo y la insuficiencia de herramientas son factores críticos que afectan la operatividad y disponibilidad de los sistemas. Aunque el mantenimiento preventivo es el tipo predominante, la dependencia del mantenimiento correctivo indica una falta de planificación proactiva. Además, se evidenció una deficiencia en la capacitación continua del personal, lo que limita su capacidad para enfrentar avances tecnológicos. La discusión destaca la importancia de fomentar una cultura organizacional enfocada en el mantenimiento preventivo y predictivo, así como la necesidad de inversión en recursos y herramientas. Se concluye que la implementación de estrategias proactivas, junto con una mejora en la infraestructura de mantenimiento y la capacitación del personal, es fundamental para maximizar la eficiencia operativa de los sistemas de artillería y reducir los costos asociados con el mantenimiento correctivo, incrementando así la capacidad de respuesta del Ejército Nacional de Colombia.

Este estudio, de enfoque cuantitativo, contó con un alcance correlacional y un diseño transversal, aplicándose a una muestra de 566 millennials universitarios residentes en Guayaquil. Se utilizó el Modelado de Ecuaciones Estructurales (MEE) para analizar los datos obtenidos y determinar las relaciones entre las variables estudiadas. Los resultados indicaron que las actitudes hacia los productos orgánicos, las normas subjetivas y el control de comportamiento percibido influyen significativamente en la intención de compra de estos productos. Además, se encontró que el precio actúa como una barrera que afecta el control de comportamiento percibido, lo que limita la capacidad de los consumidores para llevar a cabo sus intenciones de compra. Este hallazgo refuerza la importancia de abordar las barreras económicas para promover el acceso y la adopción de productos orgánicos en este segmento de la población, fomentando así un mayor compromiso con el consumo sostenible.

As climate change poses significant challenges to our built environment, enhancing building resilience through sustainable approaches becomes crucial. This research evaluates sustainable strategies to fortify buildings against climate change impacts, specifically focusing on residential buildings in Tehran. Future climate data for Tehran are generated using Meteonorm 8 software. Comprehensive investigations identify predominant residential patterns, leading to the selection of a representative case study for detailed simulations. Energy simulations are conducted using DesignBuilder software to explore the impact of consumption reduction strategies on thermal performance under present and future conditions. Results indicate an increase in cooling energy consumption and a decrease in heating energy consumption from 2020 to 2090, with no significant change observed in total energy consumption. The implementation of insulation, double-glazed windows, and shading devices is shown to decrease overall energy consumption in the future. Notably, WI models with thermal insulation demonstrate the best performance in reducing heating energy, while WDG models with double-glazed windows significantly reduce cooling energy consumption. This study fills a gap in understanding the long-term impacts of climate change on building energy performance and provides practical design guidelines. The findings underscore the importance of sustainable building strategies in developing energy-efficient and resilient buildings capable of withstanding future climate conditions.
The Value of Daylighting Children's Health and Well-Being in School Buildings

Daylight is one of the most important aspects of sustainable building. Well-integrated devices can improve daylighting in classrooms and minimize energy usage by limiting artificial lights. In western countries, the analysis of daylight settings inside educational institutions been a focus of interest since the 19th century. Even though it’s been argued that to provide a interpretation somewhere else even utilizing daylight rather than more steady and controllable artificial light could decrease students' performance while failing to provide a comfortable and healthy environment, it appears that there is now widespread agreement on the need to design well-daylit space. (Vincenzo, 2017) Studies commissioned in 1999 have shown daylight enhancing elements, such as- shading devices, light shelves, and clerestories made students perform better in daylit classrooms as well as indicate the health benefits of daylighting (Heschong Mahone Group, 1999) Researchers and architects have recently focused on building performance, particularly in educational settings, due to its direct and indirect impact on space consumption and comfort. (Abdulqadir, 2019) This paper will review on daylight's impact on student performance and building performance and achievement by presenting two case studies of schools that have implemented technologies to enhance daylight and reduce artificial lighting cost effectively into the buildings. Those are- Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts and Clackamas High School in Clackamas, Oregon. These case studies presented in this paper will be studied and utilized as a guideline for improving daylight educational environment in school buildings in the future. It’s been visible from the comparison of the case studies of Kensington and Clackamas that solar orientation impacts on the direction of buildings on the amount of daylight in classrooms and architectural features such as- Light shelves, solar tubes, skylight can efficiently increase and distribute daylight for both good visual and low energy performance. The research methodology is done by comparing many passive and active daylight control devices. These cases reveal some advantages and disadvantages were found out and could be implemented for further design in school settings. This paper can be used as a resource for daylight design in school settings with cost effective devices in future. It's not a stretch to believe that if daylighting improves children's performance in schools, it might likewise improve adults' performance in other educational buildings.
