Mining Hopes in Andalusian Wastelands: The Promises and Materiality of Greened Extraction
Authors: Buu-Sao Doris
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: Drawing on discourses on "sustainable," "green" or "climate-smart" mining, public and private actors in the sector are justifying the (re)opening of metal mines in certain rural areas of Europe. Andalusia, a Southern region of Spain, is a pioneer territory in this regard. In this region, mining revival is framed as a paradoxical remedy to the current economic but also ecological crisis, despite the regional history of mining environmental disasters and deep social crisis caused by economic bubbles. How are the new mines made desirable in a context where the local economic, social, and environmental history could jeopardize these projects? The article explores mining revival in Andalusia, from urban centers to mining installations, approaching this process as a combination of promises and material practices. It analyzes the multiple expectations and activities supporting mining redeployment, both from above and from below. Ethnography helps to unpack the plurality of the social conditions that enable the materialization of extractive promises as industrial activities: beyond the top-down imposition of these activities, the article argues that it hinges on the local expectations of the people on the frontline of extraction. At the same time, these expectations are partly shaped by corporate and public policy. People's hopes can thus be thought of as being "mined": aspirations, desires, and anxieties are extracted from societies and processed through media discourses, political speeches, and corporate practices. However, just like ores can oppose physical resistance to extraction due to their biophysical characteristics, so too can local aspirations and hopes come into conflict with the reality of mining.
Can EMDR Complement Adlerian Play Therapy?
Authors: Evans Courtney , Feeney Kim
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: Many of the concepts of the adaptive information-processing model can be applied to Individual Psychology, thus forming a potentially helpful model of using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in Adlerian therapy. The benefits are not limited to talk therapy; they also encompass play therapy. Overall, the integration of psychological theories should be undertaken only when core concepts do not contrast. Because not all philosophical underpinnings of the two theories (Individual Psychology and adaptive information processing) align, they cannot be completely theoretically congruent. This article provides an overview of the underpinnings of Adlerian theory and the adaptive information-processing model and a description of similarities and differences. To conclude, a case study illustrates how one might use EMDR in Adlerian play therapy in a theoretically sound way.
The Lifestyle of Vladimir Putin
Authors: White Les
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT: In early 2000, before Vladimir Putin became known on the world stage—even before he had been elected president of Russia—he gave an interview to three Russian journalists who asked him the types of questions that constitute an Adlerian lifestyle personality questionnaire: that is, to describe himself and his family while growing up, and to relate early memories or recollections. Interpreting his responses shows that Putin, who grew up an only child, mythologized the perceived heroic role that his soldier–father had played in World War II in defense of the Soviet empire and had also set a goal for himself to be a leader of “hooligans” (his word) when he was younger and then of a more accepting conservative Russian or Soviet society. With regard to Putin’s current behavior, in which he likely sees himself as a kind of czar invading Ukraine, and given that the interview was conducted over 20 years ago, the purpose of this article is to show the longitudinal value of using Adlerian interpretive methods to assess personality.
Developing linguistics educators: A qualitative study of graduate linguist professional development
Authors: Taylor-Adams Allison , Gunter Kaylynn
Published: June 2024

Abstract: In this article, we report on findings from an ongoing study of graduate students in linguistics regarding the approaches they take to develop as professional educators and how faculty and programs in linguistics can better support graduate student teaching professionalization. In focus groups with current linguistics graduate students, we identified three key themes: formal institutional training, mentor relationships (i.e. instructor and TA relationships), and peer relationships. Mentor relationships provide students with a range of experiences and degrees of support across faculty, which influences how they develop as educators. Peer socialization is also a critical component of growth and well-being, providing graduate student teachers with both practical guidance and ongoing emotional support. We illustrate this point with a case study—a weekly teaching journal club for graduate students within our own Linguistics program, which became an important space for pedagogical development. While our results point to graduate student success and resilience through socialization, they also illustrate a common issue of professionalization in academia: students gain professional skills through noninstitutional mechanisms. Teaching professionalization largely falls to the ‘hidden curriculum’, which puts students at a disadvantage, especially those from minoritized backgrounds (Smith 2013). We join other scholars in our field in calling for greater institutionalized mechanisms for professionalization to promote equitable access to vital skills for graduate students (Calhoun 2020). To that end, we conclude by suggesting ways in which faculty and departments can close this gap in graduate training.
Irrealis expressions and modality: A response to von Prince, Krajinović, and Krifka
Authors: Grano Thomas , Ziegler Grayson , Bohnert Amanda , Hanink Emily , Berkson Kelly H. , Chelliah Shobhana , Par Sui Hnem
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Von Prince, Krajinović, and Krifka (2022) argue that irrealis is a crosslinguistically legitimate semantic category, and they define it in terms of a domain encompassing both future possibility and counterfactuality. In this response, we argue that this definition is too narrow, because it excludes past and present possibility and necessity. We suggest instead that the correct characterization is that irrealis expressions correlate with quantification over possible worlds—or in simpler terms, with modality. We then ask a compositional question: do irrealis expressions signal the presence of modality contributed by other morphemes in the clause, or do they contribute modality themselves? Based on a comparison between the languages in von Prince et al.’s sample and preliminary data from Lutuv (Lautu) Chin (South Central Tibeto-Burman, formerly called Kuki-Chin), we suggest that the answer to this question may vary from one language to the next, thereby contributing to a richer picture of how modal meaning is reflected and encoded crosslinguistically.
The Culture Wars Come to Pennsylvania: The Elizabethtown Area School Board and the “Pro-Family” Resolution, 1996–1997
Authors: Huesken Gerald G.
Published: June 2024

Abstract: Throughout 1996 and 1997, the Elizabethtown Area School Board in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, garnered statewide and national attention with the development and passage of a “pro-family” resolution, which some community members welcomed and others protested as discriminatory and unnecessary. This article explores the influence of grassroots political activity on, and its linkages with, national political events, while also drawing parallels between this controversy and current political debates.

“Memory Makes Us Brave”: Hauntological Echoes of the Past in the Music of Chile’s 2019 Social Upheaval
Authors: Rojas Eunice
Published: June 2024

Abstract: The 2019 social upheaval in Chile began with students jumping turn-stiles in protest over a modest increase in the metro fare, but it quickly expanded into a widespread denunciation of nearly every facet of the neo-liberal economic system installed under the 1973–1990 Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. “It’s not the thirty pesos,” protesters claimed, “it’s the thirty years,” referring to the three decades of neoliberal policies after the return to democracy in 1990. In the days and weeks after the protests began, a soundtrack emerged of both original music and songs repurposed from Chile’s past. Even the new songs created in the wake of the 2019 protests also frequently reference, sample, or allude to Chile’s musical icons of the Chilean New Song era of the 1960s and early 1970s or to dictatorship era music. Both the protests and their music are therefore rooted in a hauntological past. Jacques Derrida coined the term “hauntology” in Spectres of Marx (2006), where he examines the ways in which the spirit of Marxism, like all ghosts which have yet to be laid to rest, would return, repeatedly, disrupting the present and continuing to remind us of another possible future.” In Ghosts of My Life , British cultural theorist Mark Fisher applies Derrida’s concept of hauntology to English language cultural production, arguing that 21st-century cultural products reflect a “slow cancellation of the future.” “It doesn’t feel like the future,” Fisher writes; instead, “we remain trapped in the 20th century.” This article examines how the hauntological songs of the 2019 social upheaval seek to inspire and support an oppositional consciousness against the neoliberal system and how the resilience of that same system maintains Chile’s musical ghosts in a perpetual limbo .
Analysis of Stokes singularities using a lateral shear interferometer
Authors: Joshi Rahul , Komal Baby , Kumar Sunil , Senthilkumaran P.
Published: June 2024

Polarization and Poincaré singularities in the optical fields can be studied by analyzing the phase singularities of mathematically constructed Stokes vector fields. The wider applicability of the Stokes construction is found by exploring the generation and detection methods for various types of Stokes singularities and their analysis. Here, we detect and analyze all forms of the Stokes singularities through lateral shear interferometry. Specifically, the projections of a Stokes singularity on three pairs of orthogonal polarization basis states, defined by the eigen polarization states of Pauli’s matrices, are analyzed through unique fork patterns in the shearogram pairs. These interference patterns also provide the topological indices of the singularities. Such a self-referencing interferometric method also helps to remove the degeneracy in the Stokes index and polarization. Through both, simulations and experiments, we have analyzed specific beams represented by higher order Poincaré sphere and hybrid order Poincaré sphere topological constructs.
SESAM-assisted Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr:ZnS laser
Authors: Kowalczyk Maciej , Davydenko Ivan , Sotor Jaroslaw
Published: June 2024

Mode-locking in Cr:ZnS/Se lasers typically relies on Kerr-lensing (KLM) or semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The former allows generation of shorter pulses, but, unlike the latter, does not support self-starting mode-locking. Here, we combine the advantages of these two techniques and demonstrate the SESAM-assisted KLM Cr:ZnS laser. Our self-starting oscillator generates up to 1 W of average power with 54 fs pulses at a central wavelength of 2360 nm. We identify a general limitation for further pulse shortening in SESAM mode-locked Cr:ZnS/Se lasers, which is related to the finite operation bandwidth of the semiconductor absorbers. In our experiment, we fully exploit the potential of commercially available GaSb SESAMs and fill their entire reflection bands. Furthermore, we compare the performance of a SESAM-assisted KLM laser with a pure KLM oscillator producing broadband, yet not self-starting, 33 fs pulses with 780 mW power. We also show that the choice of saturable absorbers has a negligible impact on the laser intensity noise, which is exceptionally low with sub-0.005 % integrated noise.

Providing accurate, evidence-based information to women with Zika infection during pregnancy was problematic because of the high degree of uncertainty in the diagnosis of the infection and the associated risk. The 2015–17 Zika virus epidemic overwhelmingly affected women in countries with limited access to safe abortion. Understanding women’s perspectives on risk communication during pregnancy in the context of an emerging pathogen can help inform risk communication in response to future outbreaks that affect fetal or child development. We conducted a cross-sectional qualitative interview study with 73 women from 7 locations in Brazil, Colombia, and Puerto Rico to understand women’s experiences of Zika virus (ZIKV) test and outcome-related communication during the ZIKV pandemic. We used thematic analysis to analyze the in-depth interviews. Participants in Brazil and Colombia reported that the healthcare system’s lack of preparation and organization in communicating ZIKV test results and associated adverse outcomes led to their feeling abandoned and alone in confronting the challenges of a ZIKV-affected pregnancy. In contrast, participants in Puerto Rico reported that the regular testing schedules and clear, well-planned communication between the care team and between providers and pregnant women helped them to feel they could prepare for a ZIKV-affected pregnancy. Communication of the risk associated with an emerging pathogen suspected to affect pregnancy and developmental outcomes is a fraught issue. Public health authorities and healthcare providers should work together in the interpandemic period to understand families’ preferences for risk communication during pregnancy in the presence of uncertainty and develop a community-informed plan for risk communication.
Association between estimated plasma volume status and acute kidney injury in patients who underwent coronary revascularization: A retrospective cohort study from the MIMIC-IV database
Authors: Yang Xinping , Zhang Fan , Zhan Yongqiang , Liu Zhiheng , Wang Wenjing , Shi Jiahua
Published: June 2024

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a common complication of coronary revascularization and increases poor outcomes in critically ill surgical patients. Compared to the plasma volume status (PVS), estimated plasma volume status (ePVS) has the advantages of being noninvasive and simple and has been shown to be associated with worse prognosis in patients undergoing coronary revascularization. This study was to evaluate the association of ePVS with the risk of AKI in patients who underwent coronary revascularization.

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, data of patients who underwent coronary revascularization were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database (2008–2019). The outcome was the occurrence of AKI after ICU admission. The covariates were screened via the LASSO regression method. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression models were performed to assess the association of ePVS and PVS and the odds of AKI in patients who underwent coronary revascularization, with results shown as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses of age, surgery, and anticoagulation agents and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score were performed to further explore the association of ePVS with AKI.

Results

A total of 3,961 patients who underwent coronary revascularization were included in this study, of whom 2,863 (72.28%) had AKI. The high ePVS was associated with the higher odds of AKI in patients who received coronary revascularization (OR = 1.06, 95%CI: 1.02–1.10), after adjusting for the covariates such as age, race, SAPS-II score, SOFA score, CCI, weight, heart rate, WBC, RDW-CV, PT, BUN, glucose, calcium, PH, PaO2, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, and diuretic. Similar results were found in patients who underwent the CABG (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.02–1.11), without anticoagulation agents use (OR = 1.07, 95%CI: 1.03–1.12) and with high SOFA score (OR = 1.10, 95%CI: 1.04–1.17). No relationship was found between PVS and the odds of AKI in patients who underwent the coronary revascularization.

Conclusion

The ePVS may be a promising parameter to evaluate the risk of AKI in patients undergoing coronary revascularization, which provides a certain reference for the risk stratification management of ICU patients who underwent coronary revascularization.
Enhancing clinical decision-making: Sysmex UF-5000 as a screening tool for bacterial urinary tract infection in children
Authors: Liu Ping , Ban Chuanwei , Wang Juan , Zeng Qian , Chen Mengmeng , Wang Ling , Lv Xin
Published: June 2024

Background

A rapid screening test for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children is needed to avoid unnecessary cultures and provide prompt reports to make appropriate clinical decisions. We have evaluated for the first time the performance of the Sysmex UF-5000 flow cytometer as a screening tool for UTIs in children.

Methods

This study included 4445 pediatric patients, with urinary sediment and urine culture data collected from January 2020 to September 2023. The Sysmex UF-5000 analyzer was utilized to measure urine white blood cell (WBC) and bacteria (BACT), with the findings being compared to the culture results.

Results

At ≥ 104 colony-forming unit (CFU)/mL, 513 samples were culture-positive (400 samples presented 104–105 CFU/mL, and 113 demonstrated ≥ 105 CFU/mL bacterial growth). Optimal indicators for positive cultures were BACT counts of 92.2/μL (AUC: 0.944) and WBC counts of 40.8/μL (AUC:0.863). False negative rate were 0.9% when using a 7.8 bacteria/μL cut-off and avoiding unnecessary cultures in 28.1%. The UF-5000 has a higher consistency rate for Gram-negative (GN) bacteria (90.3%) than Gram-positive (GP) bacteria (86.8%). For samples with 105 CFU/mL, UF-5000’s Bacteria -Information flags showed superior concordance for samples with 104−105 CFU/mL bacteria.

Conclusions

Screening pediatric urine cultures with the UF-5000 showed potential application value in identifying negative cultures and significant bacterial growth, although performance may vary depending on the study population. Furthermore, detecting Gram typing aids in guiding early clinical empirical medication, particularly for UTIs caused by GN bacteria.
ST-D3DDARN: Urban traffic flow prediction based on spatio-temporal decoupled 3D DenseNet with attention ResNet
Authors: Chen Jing , Yang Guowei , Zhang Zhaochong , Wang Wei
Published: June 2024

Urban traffic flow prediction plays a crucial role in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which can enhance traffic efficiency and ensure public safety. However, predicting urban traffic flow faces numerous challenges, such as intricate temporal dependencies, spatial correlations, and the influence of external factors. Existing research methods cannot fully capture the complex spatio-temporal dependence of traffic flow. Inspired by video analysis in computer vision, we represent traffic flow as traffic frames and propose an end-to-end urban traffic flow prediction model named Spatio-temporal Decoupled 3D DenseNet with Attention ResNet (ST-D3DDARN). Specifically, this model extracts multi-source traffic flow features through closeness, period, trend, and external factor branches. Subsequently, it dynamically establishes global spatio-temporal correlations by integrating spatial self-attention and coordinate attention in a residual network, accurately predicting the inflow and outflow of traffic throughout the city. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the ST-D3DDARN model, experiments are carried out on two publicly available real-world datasets. The results indicate that ST-D3DDARN outperforms existing models in terms of single-step prediction, multi-step prediction, and efficiency.

Published: June 2024

Frente a las barreras de acceso que imponen los medios de comunicación tradicionales, el obstruccionismo climático ha encontrado en las redes sociales y en los servicios de mensajería un nuevo sistema de distribución para sus mensajes. A partir de la técnica del estudio de caso, este artículo propone un análisis de aquellas comunicaciones que atacan a organismos científicos, instituciones, representantes públicos, activistas y medios de comunicación. La muestra del estudio, conformada por un total de 129 mensajes, abarca las verificaciones de contenidos en torno a la crisis climática que han sido realizadas por las agencias de factchecking que operan en España desde sus inicios hasta el 30 de junio de 2023. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que este nuevo negacionismo ha pasado de cuestionar la labor de los científicos a sembrar la duda en torno a los mensajeros, entre los que se encuentran activistas, instituciones y medios de comunicación.

Entre as variáveis meteorológicas a chuva é mais importante para a manutenção da vida na Terra, porém a sua falta constante têm alterado o clima de diversas regiões e causando grandes prejuízos a sociedade. O objetivo deste estudo foi avalia a ocorrência de episódios de anomalia de chuva associados às fases do El Niño Oscilação-Sul (ENOS) no município de Rio Branco (AC), por meio dos Índices de Anomalia de Chuva (IAC) e Índice Oceânico de Niño (ONI). O índice IAC Identificou que 29,3% dos anos foram de seca suave, 14,63% de seca moderada e 12,2% de seca alta. Episódios de intensidade umidade baixa ocorrem em 21,9% dos anos, e de umidade moderada em 12,2% dos anos. Episódios de intensidade umidade alta ou extremamente alta apresentaram percentuais iguais em 4,9% dos anos, relacionados ao ONI. O desempenho das interações (IAC versus ENOS) com base nos parâmetros estatísticos (R2, r, d, IC, EPE e RMSE), aponta para um baixo desempenho dos modelos de regressões. Essas evidências sugerem que a variabilidade climática tem impactado significativamente na hidrologia da região, e medidas adequadas são necessárias para gerenciar os impactos de uma mudança climática nos recursos hídricos.

Published: June 2024

A região costeira do Pará é caracterizada pelo maior índice pluviométrico do estado. Atualmente as representações da variabilidade das chuvas estão predominantemente baseadas em dados de estações meteorológicas de superfície, promovendo uma confiança limitada para estudos sobre a variabilidade da chuva local. Neste contexto, propõem-se analisar a variabilidade da chuva para a região costeira do Pará, utilizando dados de sensoriamento remoto. O estudo apresenta a aplicação da técnica do produto de sensoriamento remoto, disponibilizado pelo Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) com base nas estimativas e dados de alta resolução espacial e temporal. A variabilidade espaço-temporal da chuva foi representada pela climatologia anual, sazonal e mensal, e relacionada aos sistemas e mecanismos oceano-atmosfera que favorecem a precipitação local. A variabilidade anual mostrou que as chuvas apresentam distribuição distintas em anos de ocorrência do mecanismo ENOS. Na escala sazonal os dados elucidaram a sazonalidade regional com maiores acumulados de chuvas durante o verão e outono. Na escala mensal as chuvas ficaram distribuídas principalmente na porção norte da área durante os primeiros meses do ano. Este conhecimento torna-se uma ferramenta alternativa e eficaz para o gerenciamento costeiro, corroborando para estudos de modelagem e permitindo sua replicação para outras áreas.

O professor George Anka, ao longo de sua carreira, tem realizado relevantes contribuições para a Ortodontia no Japão e no mundo. Entre suas contribuições científicas, gostaria de destacar o fato de se atribuir a ele a criação do termo Dispositivos de Ancoragem Temporária (DATs). Essa denominação proposta pelo Dr. Anka é adotada, atualmente, para se referir aos mini-implantes utilizados nas mecânicas com ancoragem óssea em tratamentos ortodônticos. Recomendações quanto às características e os formatos dos mini-implantes ortodônticos atuais têm sido publicadas por vários grupos de pesquisadores em todo o mundo. Esses estudos permitem que os ortodontistas vivenciem o método na prática clínica, o que tem levado a um aumento no status do uso de mini-implantes em Ortodontia. No entanto, apenas em 2004, antes do congresso do AAO em Orlando (EUA), houve uma reunião de especialistas da área para tentar propor um nome para a ancoragem pretendida com esses mini-implantes. Nessa mesma reunião, também se definiu que os, até então, chamados parafusos de ancoragem ortodôntica passariam a ser, por convenção, chamados de mini-implantes.

Published: June 2024

This current study aims to adapt the Work Regulatory Focus Scale into the Indonesian version, following the International Test Commission (ITC) Guidelines for Test Adaptation. Thisis cross-sectional study involved 218 participants from a local bank with several branches in Indonesia. Confirmatory Factor Analysis using Lisrel 8.80 was employed to analyze the data. Regulatory focus and work engagement are correlated to determine convergent validity, while CR (Construct Reliability) evaluates reliability. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicate that the Work Regulatory Focus Scale model fits the data best (RMSEA = .073, NFI = .94, CFI = .96, Standardized RMR = .065, and AGFI = .93, p = .000). The scale also demonstrates good reliability, with a CR value of .798 for promotion focus and .778 for prevention focus. Furthermore, a relationship between work regulatory focus and work engagement was found. These findings indicate that the Work Regulatory Focus has good psychometric properties and provides supports for applicability in the Indonesian context.
IS THE STUDENT ADAPTATION TO COLLEGE QUESTIONNAIRE APPROPRIATE TO MEASURE STUDENTS’ COLLEGE ADJUSTMENT?
Authors: Rifameutia Tjut , Malay Elok D.
Published: June 2024

College adjustment (CA), or adaptation to college life, has been proven to predict college student achievement and persistence during their college study. Therefore, measuring students’ college adjustment from the first year of study would be fundamental. Indonesia needs a valid and reliable instrument to measure college adjustment accurately. This study investigates the validity and reliability of SACQ (Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire), an adapted version to Bahasa Indonesia. SACQ is a widely used measurement tool for college adjustment developed by Baker and Siryk (1984). This study uses a Confirmatory Factor Analysis to measure the validity and reliability of SACQ as a GPA predictor. The result shows that the Indonesian adaptation version of SACQ is valid and reliable in measuring college students’ adjustment, χ 2 (1, N = 1033) = 1.01, p = .315; RMSEA = .003. The impact of this study is that Indonesia can widely use this instrument to measure the level of college adjustment.

Leaves and young pods of Moringa oleifera Lam. are not only used as vegetables, but different parts such as stem, stem barks, gum-resin, root, flower, seed pod, pod husk, seeds, and roots are also used in the traditional system of medicine. Chemical compounds such as alkaloids, phenolics, and terpenoids as excretory or waste products are produced by plants through the metabolic pathways. These chemical compounds have antibiotic, antimicrobial, and anti-insecticidal activity for their self-defense from a wide variety of pathogens. The ethnomedicinal uses and the scientific assessment of M. oleifera Lam. are essential, as it is a traditional food with numerous medicinal properties. Moringa leaves are an excellent nutritional supplement that contains crucial amino acids, minerals, vitamins, proteins, and other bioactive phytochemicals. In particular, the high nutrient content of the leaves benefits pregnant women and infants. It is also an effective diabetic, analgesic, and antimicrobial agent. This review mainly highlights the ancient medicinal uses of different plant parts such as leaves, flowers, fruit pods, seeds, seed oil, stem bark, gums, and roots; its mineral contents, phytochemical composition, and pharmacological potential, especially antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and analgesic activity, emphasizing the molecular mechanisms associated with anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic activity.

The medicinal plants in Kurdistan-Iraq are used widely for the treatment of many diseases. Therefore, it is very interesting to look after the components of these plants as they are involved directly in the therapy. The collected samples from Dohuk City in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq were Adiantum capillus-veneris, Polygonum avicular, Urtica dioca, Tribulus terretris, Artemisis splendens Willd, Scirpus lacustris, Mentha longifolia, Thymus kotschyanus, Achillea santolina and Anthenis des champs. The elemental contents of these samples were evaluated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The antibacterial and antioxidant activities were identified for the methanolic extracts of these plants. This study aims to identify the components, evaluate elemental content and analyze the biological activities of certain medicinal plants used in the region. The qualitative analysis of the phytochemical by screening out the methanolic extract of the collected samples showed the presence of phenolic compounds, proteins, fatty acids, amino acids, anthraquinones, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids. Furthermore, the extracts have been analyzed to determine the presence of elements. The most abundant elements of the total 29 elements analyzed for the plant samples were iron, manganese, potassium and magnesium. This finding is important for potential drug discovery.

In this article, we mainly prove low regularity conservation laws for the Fokas-Lenells equation in Besov spaces with small initial data both on the line and on the circle. We develop a new technique in Fourier analysis and complex analysis to obtain the a priori estimates. It is based on the perturbation determinant associated with the Lax pair introduced by Killip, Vişan, and Zhang for completely integrable dispersive partial differential equations. Additionally, we also utilize the perturbation determinant to derive the global a priori estimates for the Schwartz solutions to the Camassa-Holm (CH) equation in

Theoriebildung und ihre Prosa
Authors: Gehring Petra
Published: June 2024

Regarding the question of “theory”, the paper takes the perspective of creation, i. e. of producing texts that exhibit theoretical qualities and that in this sense both do justice to a – certainly complex – “function” of philosophical theory and also “work” as theory (namely in a sustainable way, and perhaps also beyond the current scientific orthodoxies) and can thus be received in the long line of the philosophically relevant reading canon.

On the one hand, it is proposed to take the project character of philosophical theory seriously. On the other hand, the conditions for the success of philosophical (theoretical) prose have to be looked at carefully. In addition to scholarship and a critical concern with and deep knowledge of discourse, literary qualities are also relevant. There is interplay between time-bound – i. e. historically changing – requirements and a paradoxically persistent style of philosophizing that proceeds despite the plurality of canonical references. “Philosophy”, of course, is not something timeless; it remains something provincial on an intercultural scale and, in principle, something that can be lost.
Recruiting and retaining BIPOC teachers: project HEART
Authors: Andrei Elena , Purcell Terri , Jackson Debbie
Published: June 2024

We are a team of experienced teacher educators working with various licensure programs: teaching English to speakers of other languages, literacy, primary, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In the summer of 2020, as faculty in a college of education in an urban area in upper Midwest, we participated in a grassroots faculty-led initiative around interrogating teaching and learning structures in pursuit of equity and social justice. Following that initiative, we have embarked on a project to increase the recruitment and retention of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) teachers. The team project is cross-institutional and consists of faculty, staff, and leaders from an urban university, a large urban school district, and the local community college. Using improvement science and an equity literacy framework, we explore ways to strengthen our interconnected pipeline to recruit, train, employ, and support BIPOC teachers. With the spirit of collaboration and shared beliefs, we aim to dismantle unjust and inequitable practices and create racially just and sustainable communities for BIPOC students and teachers. This article will share how we operationalize the three pillars of our project (collaboration, shared beliefs, and sustainability) to diversify our teacher preparation programs and increase representation within the teaching community.
Competition among visual, verbal, and auditory modalities: a socio-semiotic perspective
Authors: Zhou Nana
Published: June 2024

This article presents a fresh perspective on the interplay among visual, verbal, and auditory modalities, positing that these modalities, as semogenic resources, compete to express dynamic meanings. The theoretical paradigm emphasizes that whether a modality or an element within a modality gets or loses semantic status, it will elicit an additional layer of social meaning to depict a comprehensive picture of a story together with an explicit semiotic meaning. The article adopts a qualitative method to analyze the data, which are drawn from The Good Wife and My Roommate is a Gumiho and annotated in ELAN 6.3. It was found that modal competition can shed light on the dynamic meaning-making processes in semiotic and societal orientations. Modal competition may distort space and time of different stories, and reconstruct a different discursive spatio-temporal dimension in the TV world. It can diversify the dynamic orientations from New to Given in visual, verbal, and auditory texts of multimodal discourses to tell stories. Modal competition provides a lens to understand the multidimensional reality and to appreciate the aesthetics of a modern TV series.
Short-Term Memory Capacity Predicts Willingness to Expend Cognitive Effort for Reward

Published: June 2024

We must often decide whether the effort required for a task is worth the reward. Past rodent work suggests that willingness to deploy cognitive effort can be driven by individual differences in perceived reward value, depression, or chronic stress. However, many factors driving cognitive effort deployment—such as short-term memory ability—cannot easily be captured in rodents. Furthermore, we do not fully understand how individual differences in short-term memory ability, depression, chronic stress, and reward anticipation impact cognitive effort deployment for reward. Here, we examined whether these factors predict cognitive effort deployment for higher reward in an online visual short-term memory task. Undergraduate participants were grouped into high and low effort groups (nHighEffort = 348,nLowEffort = 81;nFemale = 332,nMale = 92,MAge = 20.37,RangeAge = 16–42) based on decisions in this task. After completing a monetary incentive task to measure reward anticipation, participants completed short-term memory task trials where they could choose to encode either fewer (low effort/reward) or more (high effort/reward) squares before reporting whether or not the color of a target square matched the square previously in that location. We found that only greater short-term memory ability predicted whether participants chose a much higher proportion of high versus low effort trials. Drift diffusion modeling showed that high effort group participants were more biased than low effort group participants toward selecting high effort trials. Our findings highlight the role of individual differences in cognitive effort ability in explaining cognitive effort deployment choices.

Augmented reality (AR) is a transformational learning experience that can be used and integrated into science classes to overcome the shortcomings of conventional teaching. AR-enabled mobile apps have the potential to be used in blended/hybrid and face-to-face teaching, which is especially important during recovery from learning loss. This study aims to determine augmented reality as an educational medium in chemistry learning, which includes student acceptance of AR content in commercial mobile applications, improvement of learning outcomes, science process skills and mastery of student science concepts. AR media is developed through a 4-D procedure. Product test design is done by applying AR using quasi-experimental methods and receiving AR media through the TAM model. Data on N-gain scores for science process skills and mastery of chemistry concepts were collected through learning pretests and posttests, teacher and student learning observation activities, and teacher and student questionnaires to determine responses to the learning carried out. The results showed that most students found AR valuable and easy to use, had positive attitudes, and expressed an intention to use this educational technology if given the opportunity. Educational performance is highlighted because technical quality positively impacts perceived usefulness and ease of use. The use of AR in inquiry learning significantly influences improving students’ science process skills. Even though there are positive results, the use of AR in science still needs development because of the need for more helpful content and the different conditions of students.
