Authors:   Catholic University of Ghana, Fiapre-Sunyani, Bono Region, Ghana, Kwabena Odum James
Published: August 2022

This review article visualizes the use of manipulative materials in teaching mathematics among junior high school teachers. The review correlated to the study in the following areas: The concept of manipulative materials, types of manipulative materials teachers use in teaching mathematics, How teachers obtain manipulative materials for teaching mathematics, teaching methods teachers use for teaching mathematics with the use of manipulative materials, teachers’ perceived benefits of using manipulative materials in teaching mathematics, and challenges of using manipulative materials in teaching mathematics among teachers. In order to develop every student’s mathematical proficiency, leaders and teachers must systematically integrate the use of concrete and virtual manipulative materials into classroom instruction at all grades. Manipulative materials not only allow students to construct their own cognitive models for abstract mathematical ideas and processes, but they also provide a common language with which to communicate these models to the teacher and other students.
Uncovering an Epidemic Co-occurrence in Opioid Use Disorder
Authors:   Marriotts Ridge High School, Harris Noelle
Published: August 2022

The main point of this paper is to address the rising statistics that represent the prevalence of mental disorders in our society. The focus is generally limited to the American public. It is stressed to seek healthy coping mechanisms to relieve mental discomfort or the side effects faced by serious mental illnesses such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, this is so that negative coping won’t be used leading to healthy coping methods to combat mental pain. This is important in order to prevent a high risk for health and well-being if addiction recovery is reached. From the data given by the National Institute of Health; young adults have the highest cases or prevalence of developing mental health problems based on a self-assessment. However, this age group is also the least likely to seek professional help. Co-occurring disorders can be defined as; the mental state where a pre-existing mental health condition, usually one of a serious mental illness, is the leading factor for the contribution of another mental illness, usually one that is a comorbid substance use disorder. This means that there is a heavy correlation between the two conditions. Serious mental illnesses are where the cognition of the affected person has been impaired or interfered with because of how one feels. The focus of this paper surrounds opioid addiction or medically referred to as opioid use disorder. The reason for this focus is because of how highly addictive and strong the feeling of pain relief can be after using opioids continuously.

Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals are defined as “an exogenous chemical, or a mixture of chemicals, that can interfere with any aspect of hormone action”. Endocrine disruptors consist of pesticides, fungicides, industrial chemicals, plasticizers, and phytoestrogens. Time exposure to endocrine disruptors is an important issue. The developing fetus and neonates are more vulnerable in terms of endocrine disruption. Endocrine disruptors may interfere with the synthesis, action, and metabolism of sex steroid hormones. They can cause developmental and fertility problems, infertility, and hormone-sensitive cancers in women and men. Estrogen and androgen pathways are important in gonadal development, the determination of secondary sex characteristics, and gametogenesis. Endocrine disruptors mediate their action through respective receptors and/or downstream signaling. Endocrine disruptors can cause antagonistic or agonistic responses, acting through estrogen/androgen receptors. Bisphenol-A (BPA), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene, polychlorinated biphenyls, and phthalates are major endocrine disruptors that interfere with the normal estrogen/androgen pathways leading to infertility in both sexes through DNA damage in spermatozoids, altered methylation pattern, histone modifications and miRNA expression. Endocrine disruptors affect the increasing incidence of male reproductive disorders, including poor semen quality, testicular malignancies, and congenital developmental defects such as hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Bisphenol-A (BPA) has also been reported to be associated with female infertility. BPA can cause dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis with a precocious maturation through damage of GnRH pulsatility, gonadotropin signaling, and sex steroid hormone production. Further, BPA exposure during the early life stage may have a transgenerational effect predisposing the subsequent generations to the risk of developing BPA-related disease. Experimental studies suggested that prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal exposure to BPA can impair several steps of ovarian development and impair ovarian function, particularly folliculogenesis. Uterus morphology and function are also affected by endocrine disruptors. Studies carried out in animal models have reported the occurrence of endometriosis-like lesions after BPA exposure. Moreover, BPA exposure has been described to cause PCOS-like abnormalities.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) often show their effects through steroid hormones or peptide/protein hormones, and they can disrupt any aspect of hormone activity. It is stated that EDCs not only affect endocrine function, but also negatively affect immune system function. They can affect immune function either directly through the action on immune cell surface receptors or indirectly through other physiological mediators. Exposure to EDCs typically impairs immune functions, either by suppressing immunity and increasing susceptibility to infections, or by enhancing the immune response, leading to inflammation, allergies, or autoimmune diseases. EDC-mediated immunotoxicity is an important human health concern, as long-term immune dysfunction increases the risk of many communicable and non-communicable diseases. The effect of EDCs on the immune system has largely been studied in the context of allergies and autoimmune disorders. It shows that EDC exposure results in an imbalance in oxidative stress, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses and consequent increase in inflammation. The dose, duration, route of exposure to these toxins, age, sex of the individual, microbiota status, and other environmental conditions (such as stress, diet, or concomitant exposure to other toxic substances) can also change their effects on immunity. In this chapter, the effects of some EDCs on innate and adaptive immune system cells and the development of inflammation are discussed.

Effects of Cricket Frass Biofertilizer on Growth of Spring Onion (Allium Fistulosum L.) and Physicochemical Properties of Soil
Authors: Ogaji Samwel Ochieng , Watako Arnold Onyango , Nyongesah John Maina , Bulli Peter
Published: August 2022

Objective: This study aims to assess the effects of cricket frass biofertilizer on the growth and yield potential of spring onion (Allium fistulosum L.) and its residual effects on physicochemical properties of the soil in greenhouse and field conditions. Methods: 7 treatments namely cricket frass (0t/Ha, 5t/Ha, 10t/Ha, 15t/Ha, and 20t/Ha), poultry manure (15t/Ha) and cattle manure (15t/Ha) were used and replicated 3 and 4 times in field and greenhouse conditions respectively. Plots of 1m2 arranged in a randomized complete block design for field experiment and pots with 5kg of soil laid out in a completely randomized design for the controlled experiment were used. Spring onion transplants were maintained in both trials for 16 weeks with uniform agronomic inputs. Growth and yield were assessed based on plant height, crop growth rate, number of leaves per plant, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight and root to shoot ratio. The effect of frass on soil was scored based on the percentage of organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium at the start and end of the experiment. The data was assessed for normality (Shapiro-Wilks test) and subjected to analysis of variance at P<0.05 using R-statistical software. Treatment means were separated using fishers-protected least significant different. Results: Frass application increased growth and yield traits in both trials with the exception of the number of leaves per plant, regardless of the dosage. Frass at 15t/ha outperformed all other treatments and competed favorably against conventional manures obtained from poultry and cattle. Frass bio-fertilizer significantly increased the organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium content of the soils. Frass contained adequate nutrients in labile forms that contributed to growth and yields. This significance can also be linked to the presence of growth promoters and stimulation of microbial population in soils, which is characteristic of insect manures. The high levels of nutrients in the soil after planting confirms frass as an amicable soil amendment that buffers and supports soil properties. Conclusion: Cricket frass biofertilizer is a valuable bio-fertilizer that has the potential to improve the quality of soils and support the growth and yields of notable kitchen vegetables such as onions.
Biomechanical investigation of arm position on deforming muscular forces in proximal humerus fractures
Authors: Chalmers Christen E. , Wright David J. , Patel Nilay A. , Hitchens Hunter , McGarry Michelle , Lee Thay Q. , Scolaro John A.
Published: August 2022

Background: Muscular forces drive proximal humeral fracture deformity, yet it is unknown if arm position can help mitigate such forces. Our hypothesis was that glenohumeral abduction and humeral internal rotation decrease the pull of the supraspinatus and subscapularis muscles, minimizing varus fracture deformity.Methods: A medial wedge osteotomy was performed in eight cadaveric shoulders to simulate a two-part fracture. The specimens were tested on a custom shoulder testing system. Humeral head varus was measured following physiologic muscle loading at neutral and 20° humeral internal rotation at both 0° and 20° glenohumeral abduction.Results: There was a significant decrease in varus deformity caused by the subscapularis (p<0.05) at 20° abduction. Significantly increasing humeral internal rotation decreased varus deformity caused by the subscapularis (p<0.05) at both abduction angles and that caused by the supraspinatus (p<0.05) and infraspinatus (p<0.05) at 0° abduction only.Conclusions: Postoperative shoulder abduction and internal rotation can be protective against varus failure following proximal humeral fracture fixation as these positions decrease tension on the supraspinatus and subscapularis muscles. Use of a resting sling that places the shoulder in this position should be considered.

Authors: Wang Xinxin , Shi Xiaoliang
Published: August 2022

It is pointed out that with the progress of social development and science and technology, people have entered the era of mass tourism. Tourism industry relies on information more and more, but there are still some groups who cannot obtain tourism information in time, cannot share the fruits of information society, and become information disadvantaged, which affects their own development and even the harmonious development of society. Taking the elderly tourist group in Dalian Tiger Beach Scenic Area as an example, we explored the tourism market assistance strategy for the elderly tourists group in the context of intelligent tourism by using literature analysis, SWOT posture analysis and questionnaire survey. The results of the study show that the elderly have low curiosity, distrust and operational barriers in the access to information, the operation of smart tourism devices and the application of tourism app. For this reason, it is proposed that the development and promotion of smart tourism should be strongly supported at the government level; at the level of scenic spots themselves, they should scientifically and rationally design tourism routes and use unique tourism resources to build a big data platform for senior tourism information to attract tourists; at the level of smart tourism APP design, application and security, they should strive for continuous improvement and active promotion to increase user experience and trust; at the level of information disadvantaged groups themselves At the level of improvement, they should actively accept and learn new things, improve their learning enthusiasm and keep pace with the times.

Authors: Herrero Crespo Ángel , Martín Gutiérrez Héctor San , De los Salmones Sánchez María del Mar García
Published: August 2022

Destinations are considered brands that must be properly managed to increase not only tourist arrivals but also the quality of life of residents. Brand equity plays an important role in achieving such objectives. Simultaneously, the integration of ICT in the territory has led to the concept of “smart destinations”. In this context, the aim of the paper is to develop a value model of smart destinations from the perspective of residents (key actor of destinations as they project their image and influence the tourist experience). Our model includes smart services related to safety, health, heritage, mobility and environment. Our results confirm that smart destination value is formed by recognition, image, perceived quality and loyalty. In addition, safety, environment and mobility services are the main antecedents of smart destination value.

The public exhibition of uranium minerals: a novel technique
Authors: Hicks R. Paul
Published: August 2022

Visitors to the Mineral gallery of the British Museum (Natural History) will have seen that in recent years many of the more attractive, brightly coloured specimens have been removed, leaving noticeable gaps in the systematic display. These were all uranium minerals, and were removed in order to comply with recent radiation safety requirements for public exhibits.^ It was found that to achieve the low level of radiation permitted (not more than SpSv/hour = 0.5 millirem/hour), the size and number of specimens that could be exhibited in the table cases were so reduced as not to be worthwhile, and consequently all the oxides and phosphates (and related species) or uranium were transferred to storage away from the gallery. Storing so many radioactive specimens together has increased some of the radiation hazards, but these problems affect only staff and have been dealt with satisfactorily.

The end of a geological era at Bristol
Authors: Swansborough Susan
Published: August 2022

Forty-four years of combined geological expertise will soon be lost at the City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery as the Curator of Geology, Dr Michael L.K. Curtis and the Assistant Curator, Dr Michael D. Crane, are both to leave the museum world for pastures new. In the small world of museum geologists in Britain, the almost simultaneous loss of both senior staff in a major museum can only be compared to the extinction of the dinosaurs!
Bruynzeel systems in use: 1, National Museum of Wales

By 1977, like many institutions of its age, the Department of Geology at the National Museum of Wales found itself faced with the problem of its reserve collections outgrowing the available storage space, with little prospect of building expansion. The geological collections at the time were dispersed between six separate floors in the east wing of the building, as well as being interleaved between floors housing the Art and Botany Departments.
Bruynzeel systems in use: 2, Buxton Museum
Authors: Bishop Michael J. , Stanley Michael F.
Published: August 2022

Buxton Museum and Art Gallery is stone-built, arranged on two floors, and part of a Grade II listed 1875 hydro. Buxton is the highest market town in England and receives more precipitation than Manchester, giving generally high levels of relative humidity (Rh) throughout the year. This fact, coupled with structural dampness in both the main store and the cellar (Fig.l) (which housed the Quaternary Bone collections until 1979) had caused concern for many years.
The West Midlands Area Museum Service and geological conservation
Authors: Roden Rosemary
Published: August 2022

In August 1984 the West Midlands Area Museum Service initiated a geological service with the appointment of a Peripatetic Curator. Prior to the appointment, a survey of geological collections in the West Midlands, undertaken by the Midlands Collections Research Unit, had confirmed the depressing findings of the 1981 Doughty Report. Within the area, and at risk, were collections of historic significance containing important and irreplaceable material. From these reports, WMAMS identified the urgent need for some form of pastoral scheme and so became the third Area Museum Service to create a 'travelling' geological post.
Ruszt József: Vidravas, 1989
Authors: Szabó-Székely Ármin
Published: August 2022

In the 1988/89 season, Otter Trap was the only premiere in the National Theatre that indirectly thematised the recent state socialist past and was thus connected to the political context of the year of the regime change. Erzsébet Galgóczi’s novel was first censored, then achieved cult success; it discussed the show trials of Rajk and his companions, and the possible life paths for peasants, women, and female creatives, presenting a sharp critique of the Rákosi era. This paper examines the factors that prevented the performance from having such a defining effect as the novel did, factors which point to questions about the theatrical representation of historical memory.
A fenségesség architektonikája Romeo Castellucci Inferno című előadásában
Authors: Benedek Zsolt
Published: August 2022

This paper aims to provide a phenomenological description of the Avignon premiere of the Inferno, the first episode of trilogy based on Dante’s La Divina Commedia, created by the Societas Raffaello Sanzio, and directed by Romeo Castellucci. The perspective of the paper is based on the approach of the contemporary German theatre aesthetic, which, in the discourse on theatrical performance, favours an event-oriented phenomenological description of the performance over the hermeneutics of the performance. Drawing on the tools of French phenomenology, in particular Marc Richir’s analysis of the sublime, and the idea of transposition of the architectonics of the world-experience, the text explores how the experience of intersubjective sublime can be produced through the interplay of fantasy and affectivity in the spectator’s body of the performance in discussion.
Timár József és az ügynök azonosítása: emlékezet- és játékértelmezés
Authors: Porogi Dorka
Published: August 2022

The name of József Timár is closely tied in social and theatrical memory to the last role he performed: Arthur’s Miller’s suicidal salesman. This 1959 performance was the first one to be recorded and broadcast on TV in Hungary, and the memory of Timár’s acting is preserved in Éva Keleti’s iconic photograph: it shows the actor bent double, carrying two enormous suitcases. After analysing the aforementioned details, my paper will examine the actor’s performance. I seek an explanation for the complete identification of Timár with this singular role in our collective memory.
Improving Speaking Fluency Through 4/3/2 Technique and Self-Assessment
Authors:   Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo, Ecuador, Coutinho dos Santos Jardel
Published: August 2022

This quasi-experimental research aimed to examine if and to what extent the adaptation of the 4/3/2 technique and self-assessment contributes to the improvement of students’ speaking fluency. 24 ninth graders ranging from 11 to 13 years old were separated randomly into control and experimental groups, each having 12 participants. The data were obtained by means of two tests (pre and post) and examined using a speaking fluency rubric. The calculation of rubric variables was done using the software Praat and Jwatcher and analyzed using the SPSS. After the implementation of the two techniques, fluency increased in both groups. However, the experimental group showed a significant difference compared to the control group. The use of the 4/3/2 evidenced the importance of planning, practicing, and repeating; and the self-assessment revealed the importance of feedback. Both techniques indicated to students that they could be autonomous in their learning, and they can search for different ways to reach their goals, making them the primary agent of their learning. The implications for teaching/learning and the limitations found during the study are discussed. Some recommendations for future research are presented. This research is addressed to EFL teachers who want to help students improve their spoken fluency.

Developing L2 learners’ emotional balance through adaptive regulation is a significant determinant of successful learning. Despite the recent surge of interest in emotion regulation (ER) programs, research on L2 learners’ ER strategies is surprisingly underdeveloped. To address this gap, the current qualitative study explored ten L2 learners’ understanding of achievement emotions and ER strategies throughout a longitudinal ER-oriented training course. Data were collected from four rounds of semi-structured interviews and diaries at different junctures of time. Data analysis revealed that the most frequent ER strategies in the pre-training phase were distraction and suppression, which showed a gradual decrease in the post-training phases. However, the use of self-regulated learning strategies and reassurance had the lowest frequency, showing a great improvement during the post-training phases. Additionally, the students grew in regulating their emotions across four major areas: (a) sufficient perceived control over negative emotions in high-stakes situations, (b) use of explicit ER strategies, (c) efficient use of competency-oriented strategies, and (d) decreased distraction as a function of negative simulators. The study provides implications for employing ER-based training to transform students’ negative emotional experiences into positive emotions.

Published: August 2022

Anxiety negatively affects the physical and mental health of the individual and ultimately personal, social, occupational and educational performance is badly affected. The purpose of the present study was to know the impact of test anxiety on academic achievement of high school students. Descriptive survey method was used to conduct
the study.A sample of 200 boys and girls of board and non-board classes (9th and 10th
grade) of Bhilai city were selected as a sample of the present study through purposive
sampling technique. Test anxiety was measured by the self-made standardized tool
and the marks obtained by the students in their preceding annual examination
considered as a level of their academic achievement. Finding revealed that achievement
is not much affected by test-anxiety in non-board classes. Whereas in board classes
girls seems to be anxiety prone then boys and their achievement seems also affected by
the test-anxiety.
