Published: July 2021

Designed as household-based assessments, citizen-led assessments (CLAs) are implemented by local organizations who assess children in their homes, thus reaching the most marginalized children, families, and communities, often in remote areas. CLAs add an essential piece of information for truly monitoring progress and help realistically represent the learning levels of all children – at national, regional, and global levels. By using simple tools and easy-to-understand reports, CLAs engage parents and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education through civil action. In this publication, members from organizations conducting CLAs in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh provide an overview of the CLA model and illustrate a range of ways in which the model has been implemented in the four South Asian countries to monitor and improve learning. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER – a word that means ‘impact’ in three of these four countries. By design, ASER assesses foundational reading and numeracy skills.

Any discussion on India- China relations is incomplete without mentioning that today the center of gravity of the whole world is slowly shifting to Asia. Besides, one-third of the world's population lives in countries, bordering the Indian Ocean. The security environment is uncertain and great power transitions are taking place. India and China both are aspiring powers in Asia, however, with a certain degree of asymmetries in their power and strength. In the eighties, both the economies were of the same size but today the Chinese economy is way ahead and most global supply chains run through it. China is the world's manufacturing superpower and with its technological expertise, its military expansionist ways, and its distinct footprint in India's neighborhood, both land and maritime, all make it a serious force to contend with. Over time, the relations between the two neighbors have been a cause of grave concern. The interests of both India and China intersect. They have expanding geopolitical horizons and earnestly strive for 'strategic space' in the same region. The present essay reflects upon the relations between India and China that have been oscillating from cooperation to competition and from confrontation to conflict. Further, an attempt is made to focus on the challenges that are galore and the potentiality of reworking India's China strategy.

The hospital's revenue and expenditure difference tends to increase with the total difference of VND 15,322 million, VND 18,875 million, VND 10,578 million, VND 16,950 million and VND 16,950 million respectively for the years 2015-2019. In general, the total revenue and expenditure realized were in excess of the estimate. Conclusion: In the period 2015 - 2019, total hospital revenues tend to increase, total hospital expenditures tend to decrease, leading to an increasing trend in hospital revenues and expenditures over the years. The appropriation of funds is in accordance with the current regulations, so the salary reform fund accounts for a large proportion and tends to increase sharply, making the bonus fund, the welfare fund, the salary fund increase and decrease. gradually.

Fast Magnetic Wave Could Heat the Solar Low-beta Chromosphere
Authors: Wang Yikang , Yokoyama Takaaki , Iijima Haruhisa
Published: July 2021

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are candidates for heating the solar chromosphere, although it is still unclear which mode of the wave is dominant in heating. We perform two-dimensional radiative MHD simulation to investigate the propagation of MHD waves in the quiet region of the solar chromosphere. We identify the mode of the shock waves by using the relationship between gas pressure and magnetic pressure across the shock front and calculate their corresponding heating rate through the entropy jump to obtain a quantitative understanding of the wave-heating process in the chromosphere. Our result shows that the fast magnetic wave is significant in heating the low-beta chromosphere. The low-beta fast magnetic waves are generated from high-beta fast acoustic waves via mode conversion crossing the equipartition layer. Efficient mode conversion is achieved by large attacking angles between the propagation direction of the shock waves and the chromospheric magnetic field.

We present the identification of the second discovery from the COol Companions ON Ultrawide orbiTS (COCONUTS) program, the COCONUTS-2 system, composed of the M3 dwarf L 34-26 and the T9 dwarf WISEPA J075108.79−763449.6. Given their common proper motions and parallaxes, these two field objects constitute a physically bound pair with a projected separation of 594″ (6471au). The primary star COCONUTS-2A has strong stellar activity (Hα, X-ray, and ultraviolet emission) and is rapidly rotating (Prot = 2.83 days), from which we estimate an age of 150–800 Myr. Comparing equatorial rotational velocity derived from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) light curve to spectroscopic vsini, we find that COCONUTS-2A has a nearly edge-on inclination. The wide exoplanet COCONUTS-2b has an effective temperature of T

Comparison of COCONUTS-2b’s infrared photometry with ultracool model atmospheres suggests the presence of both condensate clouds and non-equilibrium chemistry in its photosphere. Similar to 51 Eri b, COCONUTS-2b has a sufficiently low luminosity (

Toward Assembling a Comprehensive Database of Substellar Accretion Rates

Published: July 2021

The relationship between mass and mass accretion rate in young objects is a powerful tool for interrogating formation and evolution. We analyze a comprehensive database of published accretion diagnostics for ∼400 objects (0.005–2 M
⊙), including 64 brown dwarfs. To eliminate systematics between studies as the source of the four orders of magnitude of observed scatter, we uniformly re-estimate masses and accretion rates from direct observables (e.g., spectral types, line luminosities). In particular, we adopt a single grid of evolutionary models to estimate masses, a single family of scaling relations to estimate accretion luminosity, and update line luminosities using Gaia DR2 distances. We find that this unification produces minimal effects on the observed relation, suggesting systematic and methodological variation is not responsible for the scatter. This paves the way for investigation of physical sources of scatter, including: age variation, intrinsic variability, formation mechanism, and accretion paradigm.
The genus Pelophylax (Amphibia, Ranidae) in Pakistan: museum collections and possible distribution

Published: July 2021

We provide the first comprehensive data on the questionable distribution of the genus Pelophylax and the family Ranidae from Pakistan. Based on a literature review and two specimens of the genus from Tasp, Panjgur District in Pakistani Balochistan (USNM 26194–95), stored in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC, USA, we discuss the possible occurrence and affiliation of these frogs in the context of Central Asia. Our comparison shows that the nearest records of Pelophylax in relation to the Tasp specimens are reported from more than 280 km (air-line) away in Iran and Afghanistan, which are currently separated by hot and mostly desert environments. We suggest that possible surviving populations of this genus may still be present in Balochistan (Rakhshan River) or Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Kabul River) Provinces of Pakistan. This would, however, need further field investigations.
Right Place at the Right Time: Laura Logan’s Leadership in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Matthias April
Published: July 2021

Laura R. Logan (1879-1974) was a visionary whose courage and foresight influenced nursing education and practice in the early 20th century. This article describes Logan’s education and early professional journey and her influence on nursing in Cincinnati. Beginning in 1914, she championed changes in the School of Nursing and Health at the Cincinnati General Hospital to align with a liberal studies curriculum and to prepare graduates for nurse roles beyond the walls of a hospital. Curricular changes, such as a dual diploma in nursing and Bachelor of Science degree, were instrumental to move education of nurses from the hospital school to the university level. Logan’s roles as negotiator, leader, educator, and interprofessional partner illustrate the skill and courage required to become a nurse leader. Her influence on contemporary nursing is an example for nurse leaders of today.
Le Prince et la question constitutionnelle
Authors: Barthas Jérémie
Published: July 2021

S’il est vrai que les faits politiques et la pensée politique interagissent, la connaissance de l’histoire rédactionnelle du Prince de Machiavel ne saurait être négligée sans s’exposer à de graves malentendus. Or, cette histoire est l’objet d’une controverse scientifique récurrente, mais qui repose sur une présomption universelle erronée : l’idée que Machiavel ne se résolut qu’en seconde intention à dédier Le Prince à Laurent de Médicis le jeune. Dans cette contribution, l’auteur propose un changement de paradigme et montre ce que la prise en compte de la Constitution florentine du 22 novembre 1513 révèle de cette histoire.

Stratégie indirecte et contournements en Méditerranée orientale
Authors: Blanchard Cyril
Published: July 2021

Par les opportunités économiques et stratégiques qu’elle offre, la Méditerranée orientale suscite bien des convoitises. Cette compétition entre acteurs, qu’ils soient étatiques ou non, inclut toujours un risque non négligeable de confrontation armée directe. C’est pourquoi, afin d’atteindre leurs buts rapidement sans encourir une telle éventualité, certains pays adoptent une stratégie de contournement leur permettant de recourir tout de même à la force militaire, sans s’exposer à une guerre directe.
Dignidad y precio justo: Las economías morales de la agricultura y la ganadería en la era de la agro-industria
Authors: Homs Ramírez de la Piscina Patricia , Martínez Álvarez Bibiana
Published: July 2021

El sistema agroalimentario hegemónico actualmente dominante en España y otros países europeos desafía los medios de vida de los agricultores. Este artículo aborda las (in)sostenibilidades de los agricultores y ganaderos desde una perspectiva de economía moral, centrándose en discusiones sobre precios justos. Argumentamos que es importante considerar la perspectiva histórica de los sistemas alimentarios desde el punto de vista de la economía política y examinar las tensiones y choques entre valores y normas a través de la noción de economía moral. Analizamos estas perspectivas a través de diversos casos de estudio en diferentes regiones españolas: agricultores y ganaderos en Galicia, viticultores en El Penedès y sistemas de aprovisionamiento “alternativos” en Cataluña. Además, combinamos la perspectiva de la economía moral con contribuciones feministas y ecofeministas que nos ayudan a comprender una de las demandas más comunes de los agricultores y ganaderos: precios justos que garanticen los medios de vida y la dignidad. Este documento también se ocupa del papel ambivalente del estado como regulador de precios y de las aspiraciones de los agricultores y ganaderos a la autonomía del mercado y el estado.
El pueblo Kitu Kara: organización comunitaria, negociación con el gobierno local y ontologías relacionales
Authors: García Labrador Julián , Muñoz Vélez Gabriela
Published: July 2021

Este artículo muestra la articulación política de las comunas y comunidades indígenas constituidas como Pueblo Kitu Kara en la ciudad de Quito. Se examinan sus presupuestos identitarios como colectivo no-migrante y se explican los mecanismos organizativos que han permitido el re-descubrimiento de sus sistemas ancestrales de gobierno y la apropiación de elementos normativos constitucionales, tales como la democracia comunitaria. A través del enfoque etnográfico se explican las relaciones ontológicas entre estos sistemas ancestrales y el municipio, evidenciando las contradicciones normativas entre la constitución ecuatoriana de 2008 y la pervivencia de ordenamientos jurídicos anteriores.
