Carbon dioxide storage in geological formations below the German North Sea
Authors:   CDRmare
Published: November 2022

Carbon dioxide storage in the deep subsurface of the North Sea is technically feasible and has been practiced for decades beneath Norwegian waters. Under the German North Sea, there are rock formations in which large quantities of carbon dioxide could presumably be stored, too. However, important questions remain, which are to be addressed and answered in the CDRmare research mission – with the aim of enabling a demonstration project for carbon dioxide storage in the geological subsurface of the German North Sea.
High cryptic diversity in a caddisfly that co-occurs in lakes and streams
Authors: Parisek Christine , Marchetti Michael , Cover Matthew
Published: November 2022

Lake and stream fauna are frequently studied, yet surprisingly little is known about ecological and evolutionary dynamics of species that inhabit both lentic and lotic habitats. There are few examples of species co-occurring in the different habitat flow types, which raises questions on how this may impact their ability to adapt to changing climatic conditions. The aquatic insect Limnephilus externus (Trichoptera: Limnephilidae) is widely distributed in lakes of the Nearctic and Palearctic regions; in our study area of the northern Sierra Nevada mountains (California, USA), larval stages of this species co-occur in connected lakes and streams. We examined larval body and case morphology, interspecies phoretic associations, and the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene among lake and stream populations of L. externus. Further, we begin to explore potential morphologic differences in distinct L. externus haplogroups. We observed differences between lake and stream populations in abundance, phenology, some aspects of body and case morphology, and abdominal mite presence, indicating that lakes and streams may yield distinct ecological phenotypes for the species. We also observed distinct regional differences in caddisfly body condition and sturdiness of case construction, as well as distinct communities of micro-invertebrates associated with the caddisfly and cases. Lake-stream L. externus did not show genetic divergence; however, three potentially distinct haplogroups were present across the research sites, as well as in sequences from North America and Canada which were imported from BOLDSYSTEMS. L. externus appears to exhibit wide geographic range and low geographic sequence structure which could account for the species’ large variation in phenology and morphology at the lake-stream level. As the Sierra Nevada faces warming temperatures, reduced snowpack, and flow cessation, sensitive high elevation species will face potentially detrimental consequences. Aquatic insect life history and phylogenetic structure provides valuable insight into the ecological and evolutionary dynamics that influence the adaptability of aquatic fauna to climatic change.
A Review: Comparative Genomics and Physiology of Parity Mode Evolution in Amniotes
Authors: X Maggs
Published: November 2022

Across amniotes, squamates represent the only clade with highly variable parity modes, oviparity (egg-laying) and viviparity (live-birth). Despite this, relatively little is known about how oviparity and viviparity evolve at the genomic and physiological levels in squamates. Within the context of interdisciplinary medical, poultry science, and reproductive biology literature, I review the genomics and physiology of reproduction across five broad processes expected to change during transitions between parity modes—eggshell formation, embryonic retention, placentation, calcium transport, and maternal-fetal immune dynamics. This review is the first time that the maternal-fetal immune dynamics of squamates is considered in the context of modern medical literature, where embryos are no longer conceptualized as analogs to allografts. I offer alternative perspectives and holistic hypotheses on the genomic and transcriptomic drivers of parity mode transitions in squamates. Two new pathways through which early Lepidosaurs may have transitioned rapidly between oviparity and viviparity with no intermediate stages are presented. Overall, the physiology of reproduction illuminates the biological plausibility of highly labile parity modes in some squamate lineages, with constrained parity modes in others. Future research should be open to either possibility unless clade-specific biological evidence suggests otherwise. Rather than emphasizing the feasibility of transitions in either direction, I posit that oviparity and viviparity are relatively minor variations of a shared process.
Understanding the systematics and evolution of Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus (Ericaceae): progress and prospects
Authors: Fritsch Peter , Crowl Andrew , Ashrafi Hamid , Manos Paul
Published: November 2022

The true blueberries (Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus; Ericaceae) comprise a clade of about nine to 24 species distributed mainly in eastern temperate North America, with one species reaching farther west. Despite extensive study, the systematics and evolution of the group are still poorly understood. Limited morphological variation, multiple ploidy levels of uncertain origin, and natural hybridization all contribute to the challenge. Questionable analytical methods, such as the use of phenetics and an overemphasis on crossing experiments, have further impeded progress. Here we review the history of research on the systematics and evolution of V. sect. Cyanococcus with the aim of clarifying and summarizing hypotheses of species origins and diversification, especially in relation to polyploidy. We also present recent progress from our own work and, on that basis, offer promising lines of investigation with morphological and molecular data. We anticipate that these avenues of research will ultimately clarify patterns of natural species diversity in V. sect. Cyanococcus with benefits for biodiversity studies, conservation, and crop breeding.

Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: November 2022

This study explored the reading interests, and preferences of educated Arabs such as students, faculty and professionals, the types and number of books they read before, during and after the Pandemic (between 2012 and 2022). Data were collected from Twitter threads, hashtags and surveys and responses to the question “What are you currently reading”. The Twitter data analysis showed that the preferred book titles with the highest percentages were novels/fiction (31.5% before the Pandemic and 41.5% during the Pandemic); Islamic books (22.5% before the Pandemic and 12% after the Pandemic); (iii) self-development books (12.5% before the Pandemic and 20% during the Pandemic). 80.7% preferred to read paper books and 19.3% electronic books. In most surveys, between 50%-60% of the respondents do not read at all. In 2 surveys, between 76%-80% do not read. The highest number of books read was during the Pandemic as 32.5% read 5 books and 38.5% read more than 20 books. The status of reading after the Pandemic was like that before the Pandemic (43.4% did not read). Even graduate and undergraduate students. 31% of graduate and undergraduate students read nothing outside their course textbooks. For enhancing students’ reading interests, preferences and the types and amounts of books read, the study recommended using book clubs, BookTok, encouraging students to visit libraries, using online courses, blogs, and mobile apps for discussing books read, integrating global topics in the school and college curriculum and others.

Bryophytes of Surtsey, Iceland: Latest developments and a glimpse of the future
Authors: Ingimundardóttir Gróa Valgerdur , Cronberg Nils , Magnússon Borgthór
Published: November 2022

Surtsey island was formed in a volcanic eruption south of Iceland in 1963 – 1967 and has since then been protected and monitored by scientists. It is the youngest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The archipelago is of volcanic origin, but the other islands are ca. 5 000 to 40 000 yrs old. The first two moss species were found on Surtsey as early as 1967 and several new bryophyte species were discovered every year until 1973 when regular sampling ended. Systematic bryophyte inventories in a grid of 100 m × 100 m quadrats were made in 1970 – 1972 and 2008. Here we report results from an inventory in 2018, when the same quadrats of the grid system as in 2008 were searched for bryophytes. In addition, we surveyed the bryophyte flora of Elliðaey – a ca. 5 000 yrs old island at the more sheltered north-eastern end of the archipelago. On Surtsey, distributional expansion and contraction of earlier colonists was revealed as well as presence of new colonists. Total number of taxa increased from 43 to 59 between 2008 and 2018. The average species richness increased from 4.5 taxa/quadrat in 2008 to 6.6 taxa/quadrat in 2018 (empty quadrats omitted): 32 quadrats showed an increase in species richness; three quadrats showed no change; ten quadrats showed a slight decrease of 1 – 2 taxa, while one quadrat showed a considerable decrease of 7 taxa – that quadrat was within the lush grassland of the gull colony where bryophytes were outcompeted by the graminoids. Quadrats with the strongest increase in species richness were also within areas affected by seabirds but had not been as overgrown with grassland. On Elliðaey, the predominant habitat was grassland, like the one at the centre of the gull colony on Surtsey. On the island, we registered 22 taxa; 13 were also found on Surtsey in 2018, 4 have been found on Surtsey in earlier surveys and 4 species have never been found on Surtsey. We predict the species richness on Surtsey will continue to grow but level off before starting to decrease as the lava fields disappear and grassland becomes more dominant. Continued monitoring, without long breaks, is essential to evaluate how fast the bryophyte vegetation develops in the years to come.
The Use of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Method in Improving Students’ English Vocabulary
Authors: Asrul Asrul , Dahlan Suratman
Published: November 2022

This study aims to determine whether the CLT method improves students' English vocabulary mastery before and after learning using the CLT method. This is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design. In this research design, the researcher only uses one class as an experimental class which was given treatment in the form of vocabulary learning using the CLT method. However, before the treatment was given, students would be given a test in the form of a pre-test and post-test that aimed to see the effect of the CLT method in improving students' vocabulary skills. The data from the test was collected and then the data was analyzed through descriptive statistics. The population used was all students of SMP Negeri 50 Halmahera Selatan and all were selected as samples in this study. The instrument used to collect quantitative data in this study was a vocabulary test. This test is in the form of multiple choice consisting of 30 question items. Tests distributed before and after the treatment were given as pre-test and post-test. In addition to comparing the significance value (Sig.) with a probability of 0.05, the authors also compared the t-count value with the t-table to test the hypothesis that had been made previously. The t count based on the result of paired sample test is 38,076 and the t table based on the value of df (34) is 2,042. This shows that the value of t arithmetic (37.769) > t table (2.042) it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In other words, there is an average difference between the learning outcomes of the pre-test and post-test, which means the CLT method improves the students’ English vocabulary at SMP Negeri 50 Halmahera Selatan.
Pre-Service Teachers’ Interaction with Learners Using Their Mother Tongue in Linguistically Diverse Classes in Namibian Schools
Authors: Makgabo Mmamoyahabo Constance , Niipare Alina Kakunde
Published: November 2022

This article reports on a study conducted in five primary schools in Namibia during teaching and learning in the mother tongue classroom. The aim of this study was to investigate how 30 pre-service teachers used the learners’ home language during their curriculum delivery. The study took place during lessons that included work-integrated learning (WIL) during which the pre-service teachers were assessed by the two lecturers as researchers. The study followed a qualitative approach where data were gathered from classroom observations and semi-structured interviews of pre-service teachers. The data were analysed thematically. This study was guided by Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of development which identifies language, society, and culture as the primary aspects of the development of a child. The social interactions that a child has with people living in a particular environment with particular languages strongly shapes the development of cognitive abilities in the child. The findings showed that pre-service teachers lacked sufficient competencies in the teaching of mother tongue literacy. Additionally, the classroom arrangement and teaching approaches that were used by the pre-service teachers were ineffective for learning. Furthermore, the learning materials and pedagogical practices were likely to inhibit successful learning. The implication of this is that the quality of education and learning was compromised. This paper recommends that pre-service teachers should be equipped with skills to teach the mother tongue programme while using relevant and appropriate teaching strategies and learning resources to enhance mother tongue learning of the Oshindonga and Oshikwanyama dialects.

THE PURSUIT OF SELF-ESTEEM IN PHYLLIS WHITNEY’S NOVEL “HUNTER’S GREEN”
Authors: Siskawati Zulfia
Published: November 2022

Abstract

This study analyses Phyllis Whitney’s novel “Hunter’s Green”. The problem of this study is to what extend the novel reveal the pursuit of Self-Esteem and how the elements of novel; character and setting support the pursuit of self -esteem. The result of the study shows that there are three features of pursuit of self-esteem conducted by the character Nigel Barrow. They are building awareness, getting support, and gaining position. Building awareness is revealed through the condition of Nigel, as low class person, lives in high-class family, Athmore, which is full of superiority. He realizes his positive value; superior in brain and has the same chance to enter the school just like the high class does. Gaining support is revealed through the condition in which Nigel lives among people who judge him low. He proves himself to get support from his society. Gaining position is by having position as educated and privileged person through attaining prestigious school. He attains the school by winning himself a difficult scholarship. It gives sense of satisfaction and pride on himself since his condition born as low class. Nigel also gets position as wealthy person through doing precious business in the field of building and real estate in Bahamas. This is part of Nigel’s pursuit of self-esteem since Nigel gets it in competitive condition. This condition enriches his view on himself as worthy person who has potentials and capabilities. Hopefully, there must be something to learn in the literary work in spite of its mere function as entertainment.

ANALISIS WACANA KRITIS TEUN VAN DIJK DALAM CERPEN “TUKANG DONGENG” KARYA KEN HANGGARA
Authors: Jumriah, Andi Saadillah, Nuruh H,
Published: November 2022

Abstract

In the analysis of critical discourse, discourse is not only understood as a study of language. Language is analyzed not only from the linguistic aspect, but also relates it to context. This study examines the literary text, especially the short story written by Ken Hanggara "Tukang Dongeng". Discourse in this case is in the form of a message that the writer wants to convey to the reader. The meaning of a message cannot only be interpreted as what is evident in the text, but must be analyzed from hidden meanings, so critical studies are needed. One of the concepts of Critical Discourse Analysis that can be used in studying literature is the concept developed by Van Dijk. Teun Van Dijk saw a text consisting of several structures / levels, each part supporting each other namely the dimensions of the text, social cognition, and social context.

Postoperative Neck Hematoma (PONH) is a potentially life-threatening complication of neck/thyroid procedures due to massive hemorrhage and/or acute airway compromise (often associated with difficult airway management) requiring immediate surgical re-intervention. Patient survival often relies on optimal crisis resource management skills of the care team. We describe the case of a PONH in an elderly patient in the immediate post-thyroidectomy period, presenting with acute respiratory failure/arrest and massive hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability. We outline the approach taken to successfully manage this emergency and highlight critical management steps including the leadership role of the anesthesiologist that ultimately resulted in a positive outcome.

The interprofessional education design thinking activity consists of three parts; a brief introduction, the brainstorming process to identified pain points by persona and user journey to generate the idea, and the prototype presentation. Results: Forty sixth-year medical students and twelve technological students participated. 58% of medical students and 95% of technological students perceived DT as very helpful for their careers. However, only 30% of medical students and 60% of technological students were inspired to develop actual prototypes after the course. Nearly all of the students responded they comfortable with this interdisciplinary project-based style. Still, the time of the workshop is too limited, and among those responding with no interest pursue the project gave a reason that they lack time after rotating to other courses. Conclusion: Most medical students and technological students perceived DT as beneficial for their career and displayed satisfy in this co-project style. However, finding matched schedule of two disciplines made long-term interpersonal education challenging.

ONCLUSION Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a safe and effective procedure to treat empyema thoracis, when tube thoracostomy fails or if the empyema is loculated with dense pleura. All the stages of empyema can effectively and safely be treated by VATS. Empyema at later stages can be treated effectively with VATS. Open thoracotomy should be reserved when VATS fails as thoracotomy, as it leads to more morbidity and prolongs the hospital stay Our experience in this case, leads us to conclude that appropriate choice of anaesthesia is essential for outcome of the patient. Epidural analgesia for thoracic surgeries in conjunction with general anaesthesia, is effective as it reduces surgical stress, decreases anaesthetic requirement, and helps extubation on table with faster recovery.

In-depth analysis and thorough understanding of Nglycosylation is critical for therapeutic proteins. For IgG or IgG-like molecules, the conserved N-glycosylation at Asn297 has critical safety and efficacy implications and therefore is under close scrutiny. Any additional N-glycosylation that increases complexity and heterogeneity of the molecule, should be avoided at the early stage of drug discovery. However, unexpected glycosylation at atypical sites brings unforeseen challenges for antibody drug development process. Here, we observed a two-peak elution profile when developing ion exchange purification process for a novel bispecific VHH-IgG fusion protein. The charge and size properties of the two peaks were characterized by a variety of analytical methods. Two atypical N-glycosylation sites in the VHH domain were identified by means of mass spectrometry and confirmed by site-specific mutagenesis. Further characterization indicated that G0F was the predominant glycan species for both sites with varying occupancy. Interestingly, the addition of neutral glycans changed the charge behaviour of the fusion protein, leading to the unexpected ion exchange profile. These findings suggest that glycosylation may occur at non-canonical sites and may have significant effect on the process development and drug developability.

The emergence of tissue engineering technology provides an option for the treatment of early organ and tissue lesions by combination of biomimetic scaffolds and stem cells. Stereoscopic projection lithography is utilized broadly in varied application areas due to its high-precision, resolution, and efficiency features. It can be used to fabricate and manufacture complex scaffolds with hierarchical construct, which are highly suitable for advanced tissue engineering application. In current work, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) was synthesized and fabricated to bioactive scaffold because of its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability by using stereoscopic projection lithography based 3D printer (YC-M3D-10). The scaffold displayed multilayered micro structures that supported stem cell growth and promoted cell proliferation. The results demonstrated that the cells proliferated significantly on the printed GelMA scaffold after 6 days. Moreover, GelMA scaffolds can promote cell proliferation and show great prospects in future tissue engineering applications.
Extended reality for mental health: Current trends and future challenges

Virtual and augmented reality have been used to diagnose and treat several mental health disorders for decades. Technological advances in these fields have facilitated the availability of commercial solutions for end customers and practitioners. However, there are still some barriers and limitations that prevent these technologies from being widely used by professionals on a daily basis. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a variety of new scenarios in which these technologies could play an essential role, like providing remote treatment. Disorders that traditionally had received less attention are also getting in the spotlight, such as depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Improvements in equipment and hardware, like Mixed Reality Head Mounted Displays, could help open new opportunities in the mental health field. Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term meant to comprise Virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR). While XR applications are eminently visual, other senses are being explored in literature around multisensory interactions, such as auditory, olfactory, or haptic feedback. Applying such stimuli within XR experiences around mental disorders is still under-explored and could greatly enrich the therapeutic experience. This manuscript reviews recent research regarding the use of XR for mental health scenarios, highlighting trends, and potential applications as well as areas for improvement. It also discusses future challenges and research areas in upcoming topics such as the use of wearables, multisensory, and multimodal interaction. The main goal of this paper is to unpack how these technologies could be applied to XR scenarios for mental health to exploit their full potential and follow the path of other health technologies by promoting personalized medicine.
Methodological decisions and their impacts on the perceived relations between school funding and educational achievement

Published: November 2022

Use of quantile regression, analysis at different levels of aggregation, and inclusion of covariates were used to assess how different methodologies produced varying results with contradictory implications for policy interventions regarding the relation between school funding and achievement. Results indicated that significantly different relations existed at various quantiles of the distribution of achievement, both for student and school-level outcomes. Further, significant differences were found when outcomes at the school-level were compared to outcomes for individual students. Finally, the inclusion of SES drastically altered the results of every analysis in this study, indicating the importance of controlling for confounds. Taking all of these findings into account, we find that higher levels of funding at the student-level were associated with smaller gaps in growth in achievement by SES for lower achieving students. The opposite finding was found at the school level, with higher levels of funding at the school level being associated with larger gaps in growth in achievement based on SES. We compare our findings to results of existing studies, framing our results and interpretations thereof in weighted-student funding literature. Discussion on how these findings can be translated into quasi-experimental research designs are also included.

Authors: Garg Mausam Kumar , Chowdhury Poulomi , SK Md Illias Kanchan
Published: November 2022

Objective

To assess the change in the level of educational inequality and the contribution of social factors and demographic factors.

Data source

Three rounds of National Sample Survey viz. 64th (2007–2008), 71st (2014), and 75th (2017-2018) have been used.

Methods

Education Gini is used to study the extent of educational inequality over the time period. Decomposition method is used for "within-group" and “between group” inequality. Tobit regression model is utilized to study factors influencing average years of schooling (AYS). Finally, regression-based Shapley decomposition method is used to identify factors contributing in educational inequality.

Results

The level of AYS has improved over the period and reached to 7.7 years in 2018. Further, the level of educational inequality gone down between 2007 and 2018, but the Gini indices are still concentrated around 38%. Decomposition of the Gini and Shapley regression approach indicates that the within-group component and rural-urban division contribute the most to educational inequality. Tobit model signifies that digital exposure, household occupation, wealth quintile, and household size play a key role in determining educational attainment.

Conclusion

The paper underscores the improvement of education in rural areas by focusing on school infrastructure, e-learning, educational quality, and parent involvement.
