Authors: Mourad Leonice Aparecida de Fátima Alves Pereira
Published: August 2021

O livro “Educação Especial Inclusiva: Diálogos da Educação Básica ao Ensino Superior”, constitui-se em uma coletânea formada por 20 capítulos, enfatizando a educação básica e superior apresentando algumas possibilidades de inserção no mercado de trabalho. Uma obra de fácil leitura e pedagogicamente fundamentada e estruturada, proporcionando a você leitor compreender aspectos vinculados à inclusão, com um olhar mais sensível e crítico, que expõem questões políticas, sociais e educacionais. Nos primeiros capítulos, o leitor encontrará temáticas relacionados à trajetória histórica e política da inclusão, questionando as políticas educacionais, sua acessibilidade e a dificuldade de implementação da mesma. Além de refletir sobre uma educação inclusiva e os direitos fundamentais, que na maioria das vezes estão situados apenas em documentos. Cogitando assim, mais empatia e voz àqueles que muitas vezes são invisibilizados frente a uma sociedade padronizada e estereotipada. Muitas vezes, a visibilidade se dá pela aceitação e reconhecimento daquelas pessoas, que estão mais próximas as pessoas com necessidades especiais (familiares), aumentando a autoestima e sua independência. Para isto ocorrer, existe um longo caminho a ser trilhado, iniciando com a participação e união dos familiares com a escola. Neste livro, o leitor também irá encontrar reflexões e fundamentos, estes apontam que a educação possibilita à criança desenvolver suas habilidades e competências singulares, respeitando seu ritmo para o aprendizado na construção do conhecimento. O despertar para novos desafios corresponde a diversos procedimentos, planejamentos e métodos de intervenção dos educadores. Os profissionais capacitados, ganham um destaque todo especial, pois farão toda diferença no processo de ensino-aprendizagem destas crianças articulando, importantes mediadores específicos como, pedagogos, psicopedagogos, psicólogos e a neurocientistas, os quais entendem e contribuem cientificamente e metodologicamente para garantir a educação inclusiva, tornando-a mais eficaz e equânime. Nesta trajetória de superação que toda criança com necessidade especial terá que passar, a dimensão lúdica, abordada na segunda unidade, é um facilitador de práticas pedagógicas e proporciona aos alunos especiais uma ferramenta para sua inclusão e, consequentemente, permanência nas instituições de ensino. A inclusão educacional é parte integrante da construção de uma sociedade que prioriza a acessibilidade, flexibilidade e equidade a fim que possibilitem práticas colaborativas e personalizadas de trabalho em conjunto. Sem hesitação, devemos destacar que a conscientização sobre o fato das pessoas com necessidades especiais pode e deve ser uma dimensão presente na leitura dessa obra, que traz pontos cruciais para visualizar ações inclusivas. Todos sabemos, que apesar do paradigma inclusivo, até o presente momento, muitos avanços estão por fazer, ainda falta muito para chegarmos à equidade e com respeito mútuo e valorização da diversidade.

Towards kilometer-scale ocean–atmosphere–wave coupled forecast: a case study on a Mediterranean heavy precipitation event
Authors: Sauvage César , Lebeaupin Brossier Cindy , Bouin Marie-Noëlle
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The western Mediterranean Sea area is frequently affected in autumn by heavy precipitation events (HPEs). These severe meteorological episodes, characterized by strong offshore low-level winds and heavy rain in a short period of time, can lead to severe flooding and wave-submersion events. This study aims to progress towards an integrated short-range forecast system via coupled modeling for a better representation of the processes at the air–sea interface. In order to identify and quantify the coupling impacts, coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave simulations were performed for a HPE that occurred between 12 and 14 October 2016 in the south of France. The experiment using the coupled AROME-NEMO-WaveWatchIII system was notably compared to atmosphere-only, coupled atmosphere–wave and ocean–atmosphere simulations. The results showed that the HPE fine-scale forecast is sensitive to both couplings: the interactive coupling with the ocean leads to significant changes in the heat and moisture supply of the HPE that intensify the convective systems, while coupling with a wave model mainly leads to changes in the low-level dynamics, affecting the location of the convergence that triggers convection over the sea. Result analysis of this first case study with the AROME-NEMO-WaveWatchIII system does not clearly show major changes in the forecasts with coupling and highlights some attention points to follow (ocean initialization notably). Nonetheless, it illustrates the higher realism and potential benefits of kilometer-scale coupled numerical weather prediction systems, in particular in the case of severe weather events over the sea and/or in coastal areas, and shows their affordability to confidently progress towards operational coupled forecasts.

Abstract. The precise measurement of the amount fraction of atmospheric
nitrous oxide (N2O) is required to understand global emission trends.
Analysis of the site-specific stable isotopic composition of N2O
provides a means to differentiate emission sources. The availability of
accurate reference materials of known N2O amount fractions and isotopic
composition is critical for achieving these goals. We present the
development of nitrous oxide gas reference materials for underpinning
measurements of atmospheric composition and isotope ratio. Uncertainties
target the World Metrological Organisation Global Atmosphere Watch (WMO-GAW) compatibility goal of 0.1 nmol mol−1 and extended compatibility goal of
0.3 nmol mol−1, for atmospheric N2O measurements in an amount
fraction range of 325–335 nmol mol−1. We also demonstrate the stability
of amount fraction and isotope ratio of these reference materials and
present a characterisation study of the cavity ring-down spectrometer used
for analysis of the reference materials.
Variability of North Atlantic CO2 fluxes for the 2000–2017 period estimated from atmospheric inverse analyses
Authors: Chen Zhaohui , Suntharalingam Parvadha , Watson Andrew J. , Schuster Ute , Zhu Jiang , Zeng Ning
Published: August 2021

Abstract. We present new estimates of the regional North Atlantic
(15–80∘ N) CO2 flux for the 2000–2017 period
using atmospheric CO2 measurements from the NOAA long-term surface site
network in combination with an atmospheric carbon cycle data assimilation
system (GEOS-Chem–LETKF, Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter). We assess the sensitivity of flux estimates to
alternative ocean CO2 prior flux distributions and to the
specification of uncertainties associated with ocean fluxes. We present a
new scheme to characterize uncertainty in ocean prior fluxes, derived from a
set of eight surface pCO2-based ocean flux products, and which
reflects uncertainties associated with measurement density and
pCO2-interpolation methods. This scheme provides improved model
performance in comparison to fixed prior uncertainty schemes, based on
metrics of model–observation differences at the network of surface sites.
Long-term average posterior flux estimates for the 2000–2017
period from our GEOS-Chem–LETKF analyses are −0.255 ± 0.037 PgC yr−1 for the subtropical basin (15–50∘ N) and
−0.203 ± 0.037 PgC yr−1 for the subpolar region (50–80∘ N, eastern boundary at 20∘ E). Our basin-scale
estimates of interannual variability (IAV) are 0.036 ± 0.006 and 0.034 ± 0.009 PgC yr−1 for subtropical and subpolar
regions, respectively. We find statistically significant trends in carbon
uptake for the subtropical and subpolar North Atlantic of −0.064 ± 0.007 and −0.063 ± 0.008 PgC yr−1 decade−1; these trends are
of comparable magnitude to estimates from surface ocean pCO2-based
flux products, but they are larger, by a factor of 3–4, than trends estimated from
global ocean biogeochemistry models.

Published: August 2021

Abstract. The recycling of scarce nutrient resources in the sunlit open ocean is crucial to ecosystem function. Ammonium oxidation, the first stage of the nitrification process, directs ammonium derived from organic matter decomposition towards the regeneration nitrate, an important resource for photosynthetic primary producers. However, the technical challenge of making nitrification rate measurements in oligotrophic conditions combined with the remote nature of these marine systems means that data availability, and the understanding that provides, is limited. This study reports rate measurements of ammonium oxidation over a 13, 000 km transect within the photic zone of the Atlantic Ocean. These measurements, at relatively fine resolution (order 300 km), permit the examination of interactions with environmental conditions that may warrant explicit development and inclusion in model descriptions. At all locations we report measurable rates with significant variability between and within Atlantic provinces. This adds to evidence that nitrification is an important component of pelagic nitrogen cycling which modifies the inorganic nitrogen inventory of the sunlit ocean. Particular features of interest included a significant hemispheric difference in ammonium oxidation rate and elevated rates associated with mesoscale eddy features. Statistical analysis of potential links between ammonium oxidation rate and routinely measured ecosystem variables indicated significant correlative structure, explaining ~65 % of the data variability. Differences between sampling depths were of the same magnitude or greater than horizontally resolved differences along the transect length, identifying distinct biogeochemical niches between depth horizons. Principle component analysis demonstrated that the best overall match between ammonium oxidation rate and environmental variables involved a combination of chlorophyll-a concentration, the duration of the light phase and silicate concentration (which we argue to be a short-term tracer of physical instability). Results allude to an association between ammonium oxidation and potentially short-term product(s) of photosynthetic activity and subsequent degradation. Approximately 35 % of data variability was not explained, which may include descriptions of DOM pool dynamics.
Coastal and orographic effects on extreme precipitation revealed by weather radar observations
Authors: Marra Francesco , Armon Moshe , Morin Efrat
Published: August 2021

Abstract. The yearly exceedance probability of extreme precipitation of multiple durations is crucial for infrastructure design, risk management and policymaking. Local extremes emerge from the interaction of weather systems with local terrain features such as coastlines and orography, however multi-duration extremes do not follow exactly the patterns of cumulative precipitation and are still not well understood. High-resolution information from weather radars could help us better quantifying their patterns, but traditional extreme-value analyses based on radar records were found too inaccurate for quantifying the extreme intensities for impact studies. Here, we propose a novel methodology for extreme precipitation frequency analysis based on relatively short weather radar records, and we use it to investigate coastal and orographic effects on extreme precipitation of durations between 10 minutes and 24 hours. Combining 11 years of radar data with 10-minute rain gauge data in the southeastern Mediterranean, we obtain estimates of the 1 in 100 years intensities with ~22 % standard error, which is lower than those obtained using traditional approaches on rain gauge data. We identify three distinct regimes, which respond differently to coastal and orographic forcing: short durations (~10 minutes), related to peak convective rain rates; hourly durations (~1 hours), related to the yield of individual convective cells; and long durations (~6–24 hours), related to the accumulation of multiple convective cells and to stratiform processes. At short and hourly durations, extreme return levels peak at the coastline, while at longer durations they peak corresponding to the orographic barriers. The distributions tail heaviness is rather uniform above the sea and rapidly changes in presence of orography, with opposing directions at short (decreasing tail heaviness, with a peak at hourly durations) and long (increasing) durations. These distinct effects suggest that short-scale hazards such as urban pluvial floods could be more of concern for the coastal regions, while longer-scale hazards such as flash floods could be more relevant in mountainous areas.
Inhomogeneous precursor characteristics of rock with prefabricated cracks before fracture and its implication for earthquake monitoring

Published: August 2021

Abstract. Earthquake precursors and earthquake monitoring are always important in the earthquake research field, even if there is still debate about the existence of earthquake precursors. However, it is extremely difficult to
observe the seismogenic environment of earthquakes directly. Laboratory
rupture experiment is a useful technique to simulate and gain an insight into the complex mechanisms of earthquakes. Five marble samples with prefabricated
cracks are used for uniaxial loading experiments to investigate whether there
is a precursory signal before rock fracture and to simulate the rupture process of strike-slip fault. The existence of a precursory signal is confirmed
by the coefficient of variation (CV) results, from which we can see two
patterns which are known as seismicity acceleration and quiescence before an
earthquake. Moreover, these CV findings are applied to determine the locations
of large deformation sampling points on the rock surface at different loading
stages. Similar results are obtained when we consider actual seismicity at the
northern end of the San Andreas Fault in California, which provides crucial evidence to prove the existence of precursor characteristics. In this case,
three kinds of seismic monitoring models are designed to find out how to
monitor these characteristics more effectively.
STUDENTS’ EXPRESSIONS OF UNCERTAINTY IN MAKING INFORMAL INFERENCE WHEN ENGAGED IN A STATISTICAL INVESTIGATION USING TINKERPLOTS
Authors: HENRIQUES ANA , OLIVEIRA HÉLIA
Published: August 2021

This paper reports on the results of a study investigating the potential to embed Informal Statistical Inference in statistical investigations, using TinkerPlots, for assisting 8th grade students’ informal inferential reasoning to emerge, particularly their articulations of uncertainty. Data collection included students’ written work on a statistical investigation as well as audio and screen records. Results show students’ ability to draw conclusions based on data, recognizing that these are constrained by uncertainty, and to use them to make inferences. However, few students used probabilistic language for describing their generalizations. These results highlight the need for working on probabilistic ideas within statistics, helping students to evolve from a deterministic perspective of inference to include uncertainty in their statements.

The Vienna Protocol
Authors: Polak Rabbi Joseph A. , Seidelman And Editors:  William , Elbaum Lilka , Hildebrandt And Sabine
Published: August 2021

The "Vienna Protocol" was authored by Rabbi Joseph Polak, the Chief Justice of the Rabbinical Court of Massachusetts, with input from Prof. Michael Grodin of the Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies at Boston University. The "Vienna Protocol" initially arose from a question posed by Prof. Susan Mackinnon of Washington University and her associate Andrew Yee with respect to the use of paintings from the Pernkopf Atlas of Human Anatomy, many of which are believed to be based on the dissection of victims of Nazi terror in Vienna. Questions about the use of these images and of how one deals, in Jewish tradition, with human remains of Nazi victims, have not been addressed. The "Vienna Protocol" is a unique and unprecedented religious and ethical analysis in the tradition of a Rabbinical "Responsum." While it was undertaken from a Jewish religious and ethical perspective, it is, in fact, a universal document that can be considered as a model for people of other faiths and beliefs.

Sudûr Nazariyesini Savunan İlk Dönem İslam Filozoflarının Kötülük Problemi Bağlamında Başvurdukları Temel Kavramlar
Authors: TAŞ Nusret
Published: August 2021

Bu çalışmada, sudûr nazariyesini savunan ilk dönem İslam filozoflarından Fârâbî, İhvân-ı Safâ ve İbn Sînâ’nın kötülük problemini anlama, açıklama ve ona çözüm üretme adına başvurdukları bazı temel kavramlar ele alınmıştır. Söz konusu kavramlar; maddenin (heyûlâ) kusurlu oluşu, ay altı ve ay üstü âlem, tümel ve tikel varlıklar ile asıl maksat ve arızî sonuçlar kavramlarıdır. Çalışmanın amacı, bu düşünürlerin kötülük problemine yönelik yaklaşımlarını, bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla ele alarak problemin çözümü bağlamında başvurdukları temel kavramları değerlendirmektir.Çalışma sürecinde söz konusu düşünürlerin konuyla ilgili görüşlerini içeren kendi eserleri incelenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra onların konuyla ilgili görüşlerini temellendirmede yararlandıkları anlaşılan Platon, Aristoteles ve Plotinos gibi Antik Yunan düşünürlerinin ilgili görüşlerini kapsayan eserleri de gözden geçirilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre söz konusu İslam filozofları, kötülük problemi konusunda benzer bir yaklaşım sergilemektedirler. Konuyla ilgili düşüncelerini temellendirirken kendilerinden önceki düşünürlerin görüşlerini esas almakta, onları İslam inanç ilkeleriyle uzlaştırma gayreti içine girmektedirler. Onlar, varlık âleminde gerçek anlamda doğal veya metafiziksel bir kötülüğün varlığını kabul etmemektedirler. Kötülük olarak adlandırılan sınırlı sayıdaki problemlerin varlığını kabul etmekte, ancak bunu da esas itibarıyla cismânî varlıkların kaynağı olan maddenin (heyûlâ) yetkinlikten yoksun oluşuna bağlamaktadırlar. Ahlâkî kötülüğü ise insana verilen özgür iradenin kötüye kullanılması bağlamında değerlendirmektedirler. Dolayısıyla kötülük probleminin, Tanrı’nın varlığı ve sıfatları açısından herhangi bir sorun teşkil etmediğini savunmaktadırlar.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory skin disease usually caused by genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, epidermal barrier dysfunction and interaction of environmental factors. Atopic dermatitis is part of atopic march and is often accompanied by food allergy. Aeroallergenic sensitization at early age is not an expected finding. Here, we present five cases with moderate-severe atopic dermatitis during infancy, in whom food allergy was detected and the symptoms improved only partially despite elimination and treatment. Sensitization was investigated in patients with a history of intense exposure to cats by specific IgE and skin prick test in infants with atopic dermatitis who had food allergy and persistant findings. Egg allergy was detected in four of the cases, wheat allergy in one. Cat allergy was present in all. Elimination diet was started in all cases. When exposure to cats was reduced, a marked improvement in the findings of atopic dermatitis was observed in all cases. Allergic diseases are increasing day by day. Unexpected aeroallergenic sensitization is now more common in the early stages of life. Allergic patients, regardless of age, should be questioned in detail for aeroallergen exposure. If it is detected; necessary preventive measures should be taken.

Objective: The aim of the presented study is to evaluate the adaptive process and psychiatric symptoms in the 7-12 age group followed-up with telemedicine interviews during the height of the pandemic. Method: Patients between the ages of 7-12 who were followed up in our outpatient clinic were called by telemedicine service at the appointment date. The questionnaire prepared by the researchers in order to investigate the adaptation process to the pandemic was administered, the answers provided by the patients and their families were recorded in the case data form together with Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale score appraised by the interviewing psychiatrist. Medical records pertaining to each patient were also reviewed, their psychiatric diagnoses, according to DSM 5 criteria and CGI scores recorded in their last face-to-face interviews during the pandemic period, were included in the case data form. Results: Fifty patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 9.14±1.61 years. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (60%) was the most common psychiatric diagnosis detected in the participants before the pandemic, followed closely by anxiety and related disorders (20%) and specific learning difficulty (16%). The CGI scores of the cases before, and during the pandemic were 2.72±0.75, and 2.92±0.94, respectively. The difference between the mean scores was statistically significant (p=0.024). Conclusion: Our study emphasizes the importance of follow-up by telemental health practices in cases where face-to-face psychiatric interviews are not applicable, i.e., due to the risk of transmission of COVID-19 disease during the current pandemic

Objective: To assess the role of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict the postnatal survival in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Method: 25 patients with CDH who had fetal MRI between 2015 and 2020 were enrolled in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the postnatal survival at 30 days of age: alive and dead. The fetal MRI images were assessed to calculate the lung-to-liver signal intensity ratio (LLSIR), and the total lung volume (TLV). In addition, the site of the defect (right or left), accompanying liver herniation (present or absent), detectable-ipsilateral lung parenchyma at the apex (present or absent) were also recorded. MRI images were evaluated by two pediatric radiologists. A p value lesser than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among 25 fetuses, 6 were alive and 19 were dead within 30 days after birth. The detectable lung parenchyma had a relationship with the alive group (p = 0.023). Observed-to-expected TLV (p = 0.001) and LLSIR (p = 0.023) were significantly lower in the dead group. Using the cutoff values for the observed-to-expected TLV as 0.27 (a sensitivity of 84%, a specificity of 84%) and for the LLSIR as 2.02 (a sensitivity of 89%, a specificity of 67%) were found as predictors for death. Conclusion: The postnatal survival in CDH may be predicted using the observed-to-expected TLV and LLSIR on the fetal MRI. The presence of the detectable-ipsilateral lung parenchyma at the apex may also be associated with the postnatal survival.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between peritonitis attacks and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene polymorphism in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Method: Codon 54 polymorphism found in exon 1 of the MBL gene was investigated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 45 patients with chronic renal failure undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Results: The frequency of the mutant B allele was not significantly higher in the patient group (4.4%) than the control group (2.1%). The AB genotype was found at a rate of 15.6% and 34% in the patient group and healthy control group, respectively. The AA genotype was found in 80% of children who underwent peritoneal dialysis and 63.8% of the healthy control group. Conclusion: In our study, no relationship was found between peritonitis attacks and MBL gene polymorphism in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Objective: Infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality for patients with congenital neutropenia. In the present study, we report on the incidence, type, localization of documented infections, as well as the clinical features and long-term outcome in patients with congenital neutropenia in our clinic. Method: We performed a retrospective chart review of children with neutropenia seen at our hospital from 2000-2018. The data of 15 patients with congenital neutropenia were included in this study. Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed retrospectively using patients’ files and an electronic data system. Results: The median age at diagnosis was 34 months (range, four months- 150 months) and the median follow-up time was 48 months (range, 13-179 months). The leading causes of hospital admission before the establishment of the diagnosis were upper respiratory tract infection in six, pneumonia in four, gingival stomatitis in three and soft tissue infection in two patients. We reached the documented 74 hospitalization episodes and the most common reasons for hospitalization were pneumonia (35%), fever (21%), stomatitis (16%), cutaneous and deep soft tissue infections (12%). Conclusion: The management of infectious complications in children with congenital neutropenia is crucial. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent infections and permanent organ damage. Congenital neutropenia should be suspected in patients with a history of frequent upper respiratory tract infection, and necessary investigations should be performed accordingly. However, it should be kept in mind that the clinical findings of the patients may vary despite having the same mutation.

Introduction: Graduates of physiotherapy educational and training programs should be expected to work as a competent clinician. Studies carried out in different parts of the world show contradicting results. This study was designed to evaluate the competencies of physical therapy interns in patients' management skills.
Material & Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out from July, 2019 to December, 2019 on fifty two physical therapy interns who were working in different clinical settings. The sampling technique used for this survey was purposive sampling. Twenty clinical physical therapists assessed competencies of these interns using the modified version of Clinical Internship Evaluation Tool. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis.
Results: Clinical physiotherapists who assessed the competencies of the physiotherapy interns stated that the profeciency of all (n = 52, 100) participants in relation to patients management skills was satisfactory for their current educational level. Thirteen (25%) of the respondents had thinking that examination is an area of concern and more than a half (53.8%, n=28) mentioned that examination is an area of strength and 21.2% (n=11) of them gave no response about examination. Questions related to examination revealed that majority (n=45, 86.5%) respondents think that they obtain accurate history. Similarly, majority (n=47, 90.4%) of participants responded that they determine diagnosis for physical therapy management of the patients. On a scale from 0 to 10, the interns were compared to a competent clinician who is able to skillfully manage patients in an efficient manner to achieve effective patient/client outcome. About 44.2% (n=23) of the respondents gave 4 out of 10 rating, 51.9% (n=27) of them gave 5 number and 3.8 (n=2) of them were awarded 6/10 number of clinical competences.
Conclusion: We concluded from the study that almost all the physical therapy interns were competent in regards to in-patients management skills.

The Comparison of Growth and Yield Performance of (UC-82B & Local) Varieties of Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) by Grafting, Mutation and Seasonal Variations was investigated with the aim of inducing variability that could be exploited in the improvement of some quality traits in Tomato plants. The seeds of two varieties of tomato: UC-82B and Local varieties were treated at three different concentrations of sodium azide (1.0mM, 1.5 mM, 2.0 mM and 0.0 mM as control). The results obtained revealed highly significant difference (P≤0.01) in the effects of sodium azide on survival rates, number of fruits, and fruit weight. Similarly, highly significant differences (P≤0.01) was found between the treatments in Survival rate, except on the number of fruits and fruit weight, where no significant differences exist. More so, significant differences were found in the traits between the seasons except in fruit number. The result shows that 1.0 mM concentration of Sodium Azide and grafting improves some important quality traits of tomato that could be utilized for further improvement of tomato crop. However, the response of variety UC to grafting was higher. Highly significant difference (P≤0.01) was found among the seasons in terms of fruit weight, and significant difference (P≤0.05) was found among the seasons on survival rate, while no significant difference was found among the seasons in terms of fruits number. More so, highly significant difference (P≤0.01) was found in the interaction of varieties with seasons on Survival rate and number of fruit tomato varieties except on fruit weight, where no significant difference was found.

This quasi experimental study was designed to determine the effect of lecture and Socratic questioning teaching methods on mean sexual health knowledge gain of in-school adolescents in Enugu State, Nigeria. A sample of 310 senior secondary-two students in eight intact classes were drawn from 16,510 senior in-school adolescents using multi-stage sampling. Sexual health knowledge test comprising 50 items was used to test students’ knowledge of sexual health. Student t-test and ANOVA were used to test the hypotheses at α=0.05. There was significant difference in the mean sexual health knowledge gain scores of students taught with lecture and Socratic questioning methods (lecture x̄=9.25 > Socratic questioning x̄=7.25; p<0.01). There was statistically significant difference in the mean sexual health knowledge gain of students in urban and rural schools (P<0.001). Students in rural areas taught with lecture method had higher mean sexual health knowledge gain score (x̄=11.75) than those in the urban areas (x̄ = 7.50). Urban subjects taught with Socratic questioning had slightly higher mean sexual health knowledge gain score of x̄=7.26 compared to their rural counterparts that scored x̄=7.25. Lecture remains effective teaching method for improving sexual health knowledge of students. Health educators should use lecture methods for adolescents’ health instructions.

To model inflation rate and crude oil prices, we used Markov Switching intercept heteroscedasticity Vector Autoregressive models. The data for this analysis was gathered from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin monthly. The upward and downward movement in the series revealed by the time plot suggests that the series exhibit a regime-switching pattern: the period of expansion and contraction. The variable was stationary at first differences, the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test was used to screen for stationarity. The information criteria were used to test the number of regime and regime two were selected. Eight models were estimated for the MSI-VAR model. The best model was chosen based on the criterion of least information criterion, Markov-switching intercept heteroscedasticity – Vector Autoregressive model (MSIH(2)-VAR(2)) with AIC (8.596641) and SC (8.973119). The model was used to predict the series' values over a one-year cycle (12 months).
