Antioxidants serve as defense mechanisms which protects against oxidative damage through preventing or retarding oxidation caused by free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an odd number of electrons generated from oxygen capable of damaging various cellular structures. Endophytes have shown capacity to create beneficial biologically active molecules with a wide range of pharmacological properties usually identical to those of the host plant. Their feature has continued to gain fame due to their ability to produce metabolites within the host system without causing harm to the host while sequestering reactive oxygen species within the host systems. Endophytic fungal isolation, fungal fermentation, extraction of secondary metabolites, antioxidant and cytotoxicity studies were carried out using standard laboratory methods. Therefore, this study evaluated the antioxidant and cytotoxicity activity of fusarium equiseti previously isolated from Ocimum gratissimum. The findings revealed that the crude extract of an endophyte associated with O. gratissimum called F. equiseti produced substances that have strong antioxidant and cytotoxic properties. The antioxidant and cytotoxic potential were due to presence of compounds previously reported for cytotoxic activity, such as Enniatins and Sarasinoside H1 and while the antioxidant activity was due to presence of Orientin a compound known to have shown antioxidant property. Therefore, this endophyte may serve as a source of new substances with potential for use in pharmaceutical applications for diseases associated with reactive oxygen species.

Published: March 2024

Our previous findings showed that amines from Tridax procumbens (Family: Asteraceae) were responsible for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. T. procumbens is a weed plant with rich source of medicinal compounds. In the current work, we studied the initial characterization of bioactive compounds by LC-MS, an essential tool for the characterization and identification of low molecular compounds. Further the isolated compounds were investigated for silver nanoparticle synthesis. The leaf extracts examined revealed many novel amine derivative compounds reported for the first time mainly belonging to the group of free amines: n-Pentylhydrazine hydrochloride, 2-Nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride, 1,7-Dichlorooctamethyltetrasiloxane, 5-Chloro-1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, 3-Chloro-2-hydroxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine and 2-(Diphenylphosphino) ethyltriethoxysilane and conjugated amines: 5-Methoxy-diisopropyltryptamine, 4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid, Diphenhydramine, Erucamide, n(4-((2-(2,5-dimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazino)carbonyl)ph)-4-me-benzenesulfonamide and 1,3,5-Trithia-2,4,6-tristannacyclohexane, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyl. Characterization by UV-Vis spectra, XRD, EDX and TEM revealed well separated spherical shaped AgNPs size ranging 8-50 nm. These findings suggest that further work could be extended to isolate and elucidate the structures of the identified molecules using powerful instruments such as HPLC-MS, HPLC-NMR and high resolution-MS (HR-MS). Further biotechnological approaches towards synthesis of novel metals will be enhanced to promote green chemistry technology for the synthesis of nanoparticles.

Purpose: This article examined the attributes and actions of principals as instructional leaders in empowering School Management Teams (SMTs) in Schools. The focus will be on trying to answer the main research question: What are the attributes and actions that principals as instructional leaders should have in performing their obligations? Method: Data collection was done through a questionnaire, literature review, and interviews. A pilot study was initially conducted before the commencement of the study to validate the contents of the questionnaire. To ensure validity, triangulation was undertaken (literature review, the questionnaire, and the focus-group interviews). The sample consisted of 55 principals (n=55) of schools in the Tshwane-West District of Gauteng in South Africa. Data analysis was done thematically, and the narratives of respondents were examined. Additionally, field data was verbatim transcribed from voice tapes. The transcribed information was completed as soon as the interviews were conducted to prevent incorrect interpretation of crucial information from the recordings and focus group interviews. Findings: In empowering SMTs in schools attributes like communication skills; a clear vision of the future of the school; an attitude of self-confidence; focus on teaching and learning; tough feedback; courage to raise controversial issues. It was found that the principals lack assertiveness; are tolerant of mistakes, and are sympathetic to wrongdoers. Principals are reluctant to share power and practice distributed leadership. Implications for Research and Practice: Policymakers and schools will be able to review policies and practices to strengthen schools.

MULTIVALUED WAVES AND THE RICHTMYER–MESHKOV INSTABILITY AS THE CAUSES OF THE FORMATION OF GALAXIES
Authors:   University of Auckland, New Zealand, Galiev Sh.U.
Published: March 2024

A few months ago, the Max Planck Institute (Dresden, Germany) organized an International Seminar for outstanding researchers of such a remarkable phenomenon as “extreme waves”. The seminar was led by such famous professors as Nail Akhdiev (Australian National University, Canberra, Australia) [1], Helmut Brand (University of Bayreuth, Germany) [2] and Amin Chabchub (Kyoto University, Japan) [3]. Thе phenomenon of "Extreme waves" is remarkable since widely spread in Nature, and at the same time it is used widely in technology. In particular it is used in modern optical communications (nonlinear optics). The results of the Workshop are widely discussed by experts. They preview promising new directions springing from group efforts. This article is a review of my seminar presentation. At the same time, it includes some results of my book, which is being prepared for publication. The main outlines of this book are outlined by Marat Aksanovich Ilgamov in his article [5]. The book is devoted to multivalued waves existing in various scalar fields. An attempt is made to describe, on this basis, the entire variety of fundamental physical phenomena of the world around us, starting with quantum phenomena and ending with the emergence and initial development of the Universe. It is known that Einstein tried to build a unified (interdisciplinary) field theory that would unite all interactions in nature into a single system. My report to Dresden made an attempt to use this idea, which was developed in the mentioned book and this article. The first three parts of this article examine the stability of Richtmyer–Meshkov and Faraday waves. The last part discusses the theory of the origin of the Universe proposed in [4, 12]. The birth of galaxies in the first moments of the process of spherical expansion of our Universe is associated with the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability.
JONESHER’S UNIVERSAL DYNAMIC RESPONSE IN POLY(DIPHENYLENE PHTHALIDE) THIN FILMS

It is known that the supramolecular structure of organic materials can have a significant effect on the conductivity of polymer films in both constant and alternating fields. In particular, the presence of associative supramolecular formations can lead to a significant increase in the local dielectric constant. At the same time, the presence of different types of supramolecular ordering can lead to the predominance of certain charge transfer mechanisms in polymer films, and, consequently, to the presence of a dependence of conductivity on the electric field strength. The degree of molecular ordering, both on the surface and in the bulk of a polymer film, can also have a significant effect on polarization. In this regard, studying the influence of the supramolecular structure on the conductivity of polymer films in an alternating electric field is an urgent task.Previously, using various methods, it was established that the supramolecular structure of films with a thickness of more than 300 nm is determined mainly by supramolecular formations of an associative structure. The structure of films with a thickness of 100 to 300 nm is determined by the mixed structure of globular and associative formations. The structure of films less than 100 nm thick is determined by supramolecular formations of a globular. It was also established by the method of thermally stimulated depolarization that three regions are observed on the dependence of the activation energy of capture centers on the thickness of the polymer film, corre- sponding to different supramolecular organizations.In this work, the dependence of the conductivity of poly (diphenylene phthalide) films in an alternating electric field in the low-frequency range from 0.1 to 106 Hz on the supramolecular structure of polymer films was studied. It was found that the type of dependence of the conductivity of polymer films on the frequency of an alternating field depends on the thickness and supramolecular structure of the polymer films, as well as the electric field strength. The applicability of the Jonsher’s model, which describes the conductivity of amorphous materials in an alternating electric field, for thin polymer films is discussed. A correlation between the power-law dependence index and the supramolecular structure of the polymer film and the influence of dipole polarization and injection of charge carriers into the bulk of the polymer film on the conductivity of the polymer film have been revealed.

Poly(diphenylene phthalide) (PDP) is an organic polymer that is a dielectric in the ground state, but exhibits electrical conductivity in a metastable state, which can be stimulated by external disturbance. In this work, the transport properties of thin-film indium – PDP – indium “sandwiches” were experimentally studied over a wide temperature range. At temperatures below ~3.4 K, features are observed that can be explained by the effect of induced superconductivity in a thin film of conducting polymer sandwiched between two massive superconductors (indium).
Teacher Candidate Supervision for Social Justice: Orientations, Practices, and Challenges
Authors: Hood Andrew E.
Published: March 2024

The need for teachers who are thoughtful and attentive to issues of social justice is more apparent now than ever before. Teacher education can and should be tasked with preparing teachers to serve a student population that is becoming more diverse over time. As teacher educators who function within both the university coursework and student teaching fieldwork spaces, teacher candidate supervisors are well-positioned to support candidates to make sense of and incorporate social justice-centered practices in their teaching. Building on the findings of Jacobs (2006), a comprehensive literature review of journal articles published in the last 20+ years revealed that orientations toward supervision for social justice can be characterized as “multicultural,” “critical,” “culturally responsive,” or “anti-racist.” This literature base described practices associated with supervision for social justice such as problematizing, storytelling, critical reflection, role-playing and rehearsals, and the use of professional learning communities. The identified literature also details challenges to supervising for social justice, including institutional barriers and power hierarchies, silence, or hesitancy with regard to conversations of race and racism, and the need for more research.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundImproving outcomes and the integration of diabetes care for adults is an NHS ambition. In north east Essex, an innovative community-based diabetes service (north east Essex Diabetes service (NEEDS)) was developed to provide a single point of access providing continuity of care across an integrated, interprofessional care pathway. AimTo gain a greater understanding of the implementation of NEEDS from the perspective of staff and those receiving care. Design and SettingA mixed methods approach was used. Retrospective data from GP surgeries involved in NEEDS were analysed. Further data was collected using online surveys (n=21) and focus groups (workforce n=23; patients n=6). ResultsThe results demonstrated a clear pathway of diabetes care across an integrated, interprofessional care system. Standard care processes and patient outcomes were higher than those recorded for other GP surgeries across England. Patients reported that they received support and had more control over their care. The workforce reported a reduction in bureaucracy and blurring of professional boundaries, and thus autonomy to develop the service. The ‘virtual ward’ provided a true multidisciplinary team approach. ConclusionNEEDS demonstrated a holistic integrated approach to patient care. Patients and workforce reported feeling empowered, with high quality of care.

Evaluation of economic disruptions from the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake using a refined adaptive regional input-output model
Authors: Issa Omar , Tinger Zhu  , Maryia Markhvida  , Rodrigo Costa  , Jack W. Baker
Published: March 2024

The Adaptive Regional Input-Output (ARIO) model is popular for quantifying indirect economic losses, which stem from business and supply chain interruption. However, refining this model to study new contexts is challenging in its basic form due to low-resolution modeling of behavioral parameters and temporally static reconstruction rates. This paper presents a refined ARIO, or R-ARIO model that incorporates dynamic reconstruction rates, sector-level modeling of behavioral parameters, and explicit modeling of housing losses separately from productive capital losses. We perform a global variance-based sensitivity analysis to identify the most influential parameters on predicted indirect loss from the R-ARIO model. A case study application to the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake Sequence isolates trends in housing and economic recovery, capturing temporal differences in reconstruction demand and uncertainty across economic indicators.
Don’t Believe Them! Reducing Misinformation Influence Through Source Discreditation

Published: March 2024

Misinformation often continues to influence people’s reasoning even after it has been corrected. Therefore, an important aim of applied cognition research is to identify effective measures to counter misinformation. One frequently recommended but hitherto insufficiently tested strategy is source discreditation, that is, attacking the credibility of a misinformation source. In two experiments, we tested whether immediate source discreditation could reduce people’s subsequent reliance on fictional event-related misinformation. In Experiment 1, the discreditation targeted a person source of misinformation, pointing to a conflict of interest. This intervention was compared with a commonly employed message-focused correction and a combination of correction and discreditation. The discreditation alone was effective, but less effective than a correction, with the combination of both most effective. Experiment 2 compared discreditations that targeted a person versus a media source of misinformation, pointing either to a conflict of interest or a poor track record of communication. Discreditations were effective for both types of sources, although track-record discreditations were less effective when the misinformation source was a media outlet compared to a person. Results demonstrate that continued influence of misinformation is shaped by social as well as cognitive factors, and that source discreditation is a broadly applicable misinformation countermeasure.
Free to Abandon “Born This Way” Narratives? A Test of the Motivated Model of Sexual Orientation Essentialism

Sexual orientation essentialism, evident in “born this way” narratives, has long been enmeshed with pro-LGB attitudes. However, the relationship between these constructs is debated: does essentialism cause pro-LGB attitudes, or is it motivated by preexisting pro-LGB attitudes? In an experimental test of the motivated model, we presented participants across three studies (N = 750) with a passage either promoting or critiquing “born this way” narratives. Those in the “Born this way”-critical conditions demonstrated significantly less sexual orientation essentialism than those in the “Born this way”-supportive conditions, with condition effects particularly strong among liberals. Crucially, effects on essentialism were similar regardless of whether the critique was grounded in epistemic reasons (i.e., “born this way” is inaccurate) or moral motivations (i.e., “born this way” is harmful). There were no condition differences in pro-LGB attitudes. Thus, we find support for the motivated model: moral arguments alone can prompt the strategic attenuation of essentialism.

Authors: Woli Lokendra
Published: March 2024

Women empowerment is the process of generating a building capability of women to exercise control over their own life. Women play active roles in household and community decision-making, and families are better able to address the difficulties of poverty, enhance family health and well-being, and boost income. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the impact of rural municipality programs on women’s empowerment activities and discover how this empowerment activity of women is making an impact on poverty reduction. This study adopts cross-sectional survey research methods and a quantitative study design. To achieve the goals of the study, both primary and secondary data were utilized. Data from the research region was gathered using a standardized questionnaire. Sample size for this study comprises 265 from four rural municipalities of the Surkhet district. The results showed that increasing income can be achieved by empowering women. Income and empowerment are positively correlated. In contrast, r = 0. 431 and p = .000. Further empowerment and poverty also have a significant relationship which is r = 0.509 and p-value .000. Further, it was also found that rural municipality programs and empowerment were correlated. Programs run from rural municipalities and poverty had a significant result. The family, society, and nation must all support them in their position. To do this, the local government should create gender-inclusive policies and programs.

Romantic Hope and “Black Despair”: A Brief History
Authors: Schey Taylor
Published: March 2024

Scholars coordinate the historical emergence of political hope with the French Revolution, Romanticism, and the secularization of inherited theological ideas. This essay argues that the conceptual development of political hope functioned as a technology of racialization. Drawing attention to how hope’s theological opposite, despair, had become synonymous with racial slavery in the late eighteenth-century British political imagination, it unpacks the figural logic of “black despair” and shows how this logic subtends the Romantic conception of political hope as a hereditary right of the white liberal subject.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: THE NEED FOR AN ENERGY EFFICIENCY LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Authors: Ghazali Farahdilah , Wan Zahari Wan Mohd. Zulhafiz , Karim Ridoan
Published: March 2024

Issues on the ever-growing demand for energy, limited fossil fuels, difficulties in obtaining viable, sustainable energy for sustainable development, and adverse impacts on global climate change have driven the international community towards the use of cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. In addition to the sustained availability and utilisation of renewable energy sources, many countries have developed and implemented energy policies to address the above issues as well as to conserve energy in line with Goal 7 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This doctrinal analysis is performed to identify the extent to which energy efficiency and conservation imperatives in Malaysia have been implemented and explore the need to enact a legal framework for energy efficiency in this country. The aim of this paper is to detail the prospects of energy efficiency in Malaysia and discuss efforts made to enable energy efficiency practices with a view toward the sustainability of energy supply for future use. The outcomes of this study demonstrate that the implementation of energy efficiency in the country is consistent with one of the core agenda items for the economies to progress as recommended by the United Nations General Assembly through SDG 7. Nevertheless, without specific legislation for the implementation of energy efficiency, efforts to strengthen the management and implementation of energy efficiency in Malaysia will not be possible.
