SEIS PILARES DA EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA
Authors: Clarete Dutra dos Santos Martinha
Published: October 2022

Este artigo trata dos principais alicerces para a construção de uma escola inclusiva identificados em uma pesquisa de doutoramento na área da educação. Objetiva problematizar a opinião dos entrevistados a respeito do processo de edificação de uma escola inclusiva, tendo como fio condutor os depoimentos coletados e apurados à luz do método denominado Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo – DSC. Ao aplicar as técnicas desse método, foi possível identificar seis categorias recorrentes na fala dos participantes da pesquisa, aqui nomeadas como pilares fundadores de uma escola inclusiva, os quais abordam o direito de todas as pessoas ao acesso, isto é, à matrícula em uma escola comum; direito ao acolhimento, sem qualquer tipo de discriminação; necessidade de formação continuada da equipe pedagógica; disponibilidade de apoios e recursos de acessibilidade; participação da comunidade e diálogo permanente com a família. Com base nesses achados, são discutidos os entraves e as possibilidades de mudança na organização e no funcionamento dos sistemas educacionais brasileiros.
OS DETERMINANTES DO ÊXITO ESCOLAR NA ESCOLA DE APLICAÇÃO/UFPA: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO SOBRE A RELAÇÃO CAPITAL CULTURAL E ÍNDICE DE REPROVAÇÃO
Authors: Andrade da Silva Vergas Vitória , Lima Santos Erick Henrique
Published: October 2022

O artigo analisa os determinantes do êxito escolar entre discentes da 1ª série do ensino médio da Escola de Aplicação/UFPA. Com base na perspectiva teórica que enfatiza o peso do capital cultural na explicação das desigualdades educacionais, o trabalho investiga a influência da escolaridade dos pais, renda familiar, posse de livros e hábito de leitura sobre os índices de reprovação. O estudo pretende responder à seguinte questão-problema: como a distribuição desigual de capital cultural interfere no rendimento escolar? Consideramos que uma resposta possível possa ser oferecida por meio do conceito de habitus. Os dados utilizados são provenientes de um questionário, cujos resultados revelam que estudantes sem reprovações no histórico escolar são os mesmos cujos pais têm ensino superior e herdaram, do seio familiar, o gosto pela leitura. O estudo conclui que fatores exteriores à escola auxiliam na determinação da trajetória escolar, apresentando papel determinante no (in)sucesso escolar do grupo estudado.

ENTRE DISCURSOS E (NÃO) SABERES DE PROFESSORES DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: CONTRIBUIÇÕES NO CONTEXTO DA EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA
Authors: Septimio Limeira Carolline , Goes Denardi Vanessa , Carneiro da Conceição Leticia
Published: October 2022

Este artigo, baseado em uma pesquisa de doutoramento, objetiva analisar os enunciados de professores da Educação Básica sobre seus (não) saberes no que se refere à Educação Inclusiva. Tem como questão investigativa “O que faz um professor se sentir preparado para dar aulas?” Para tanto, parte dos estudos discursivos de Foucault (2012), Deleuze (2012) e Deleuze e Guattari (1995) para compreender esses enunciados em relação à teoria e à prática, trazendo ao bojo das discussões a multiplicidade e a transdisciplinaridade. À luz da concepção teórico-metodológica desses autores para a análise enunciativa, verificou-se que os docentes acreditam que saber mais é saber melhor, para educar e para incluir, e que a prática transdisciplinar favorece a educação inclusiva.
Using a Delphi Process to Update the Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form
Authors: Shively Kelsey B. , Tassé Marc J.
Published: October 2022

The Nisonger Child Behavior Rating Form (NCBRF) was developed to specifically screen psychopathology and problem behavior in children and adolescents with IDD. This study aimed to update the NCBRF to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) and screen for the most prevalent psychopathologies that affect children and adolescents with IDD. The authors re-aligned the existing items to fit within a DSM-5 framework, and then used the Delphi method with a panel of experts in IDD to evaluate the NCBRF items. The revision process included deleting and revising existing items and formulating new items. We obtained a final item pool after three iterations. The Delphi process and resulting item pool are described in this article.
Mental State Language Development in Children With Down Syndrome Versus Typical Development
Authors: Channell Marie Moore , Sandstrom Linnea E. , Harvey Danielle
Published: October 2022

This study compared mental state language (talk about emotions, thoughts, intentions, etc.) used by 6- to 11-year-old children with Down syndrome (DS) to a younger typically developing (TD) comparison group matched by nonverbal cognition. We aimed to determine (1) whether mental state language use is delayed in DS relative to developmental expectations, and (2) if there are differences between groups in the association between mental state language and developmental factors (emotion knowledge, expressive language). Rate of mental state language use was significantly lower in the group with DS, but the number of different mental state terms was not significantly different. Nuanced patterns of similarity and difference emerged between groups regarding the association between mental state language and other developmental factors.
Enhancement of second-harmonic generation from Fano plasmonic metasurfaces by introducing structural asymmetries
Authors: Liu Yiwen , Gui Lili , Xu Kun
Published: October 2022

Resonant plasmonic metasurfaces have attracted much attention for great potential in augmenting nonlinear optical conversion at the nanoscale and thus related sensing and integrated optics applications. In this work, we use the nonlinear scattering theory to numerically investigate enhanced second-harmonic generation (SHG) from Fano metasurfaces which consist of gold asymmetric double-bars. We find that the Fano resonance at the fundamental wavelength boosts the nonlinear response by more than a factor of 60. On this basis, by introducing translational and rotational structural asymmetries, the SHG signal is further amplified because of the broken mirror symmetry. More specifically, under the optimal condition, the previously suppressed SHG component can be greatly released and play a more important role compared to the original existing SHG component in an extra 6-fold enhancement in total SHG intensity. The 360-fold enhancement by tailoring both resonance quality and structural asymmetries indicates the clear and important roles of both linear resonance and local-field distribution in reaching the largest SHG emission. Our results are a step towards enlarging SHG responses of more complex plasmonic nanostructures.
Enhanced light–matter interactions in ultrathin transition-metal-dichalcogenide metasurfaces by magnetic and toroidal dipole bound states in the continuum
Authors: Zong Xueyang , Li Lixia , Yu Kun , Liu Yufang
Published: October 2022

Nonradiating states of light have recently received a lot of attention in nanophotonics owing to their ability to confine and enhance the electromagnetic fields at the nanoscale. Such optical states not only offer a promising way to overcome the problem of losses associated with plasmonic materials, but also constitute an efficient platform for interaction of light and matter. Here, we report the radiationless states in compact, ultrathin transition-metal-dichalcogenide metasurfaces, namely bound states in the continuum (BICs). Through applying the multipole analysis to the BIC-based metasurfaces, we demonstrate that the BICs can be classified as magnetic dipole (MD) and electric toroidal dipole (TD) modes, both of which correspond to the Γ-point symmetry-protected BIC. Due to the large field confinement inside the nanoresonators originating from the BICs, the strong coupling is realized between quasi-BICs and the exciton resonance, showing that the Rabi splitting energy can be up to 134 meV and 162 meV for the MD and TD quasi-BIC, respectively. We reveal that reduction of the effective mode volume is highly responsible for the enhancement of coupling strength. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a large mode volume can lead to increase of the field leakage, which enables our metasurfaces to find applications in, for instance, label-free sensing based on refractometric detection.
Ellipticity dependence of anticorrelation in the nonsequential double ionization of Ar

Published: October 2022

Within the framework of the improved quantitative rescattering (QRS) model, we simulate the correlated two-electron momentum distributions (CMDs) for nonsequential double ionization (NSDI) of Ar by elliptically polarized laser pulses with a wavelength of 788 nm at an intensity of 0.7 × 1014 W/cm2 for the ellipticities ranging from 0 to 0.3. Only the CMDs for recollision excitation with subsequent ionization (RESI) are calculated and the contribution from recollision direct ionization is neglected. According to the QRS model, the CMD for RESI can be factorized as a product of the parallel momentum distribution (PMD) for the first released electron after recollision and the PMD for the second electron ionized from an excited state of the parent ion. The PMD for the first electron is obtained from the laser-free differential cross sections for electron impact excitation of Ar+ calculated using state-of-the-art many-electron R-matrix theory while that for the second electron is evaluated by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The results show that the CMDs for all the ellipticities considered here exhibit distinct anticorrelated back-to-back emission of the electrons along the major polarization direction, and the anticorrelation is more pronounced with increasing ellipticity. It is found that anticorrelation is attributed to the pattern of the PMD for the second electron ionized from the excited state that, in turn, is caused by the delayed recollision time with respect to the instant of the external field crossing. Our work shows that both the ionization potential of the excited parent ion and the laser intensity play important roles in the process.

Published: October 2022

We report on growth, temperature-dependent spectroscopy, and laser experiments of Tm3+-doped YScO3 mixed sesquioxide crystals. For the first time, cm3-scale laser quality Tm3+:YScO3 crystals with 2.2 at.% and 3.1 at.% doping levels were grown by the Czochralski method from iridium crucibles. We reveal that the structural disorder in the mixed crystals allows for broad and smooth spectral features even at cryogenic temperatures. We obtained the first continuous wave laser operation in this material at wavelengths around 2100 nm using a laser diode emitting at 780 nm as a pump source. A maximum slope efficiency of 45% was achieved using a Tm3 + (3.1 at.%):YScO3 crystal. Our findings demonstrate the high potential of Tm3+-doped mixed sesquioxides for efficient ultrafast pulse generation in the 2.1 µm range.
Efficient generation of femtosecond millijoule pulses at 3.1 µm
Authors: Zhou Fangjie , Wu Yi , Marra Alphonse , Chang Zenghu
Published: October 2022

3.2-mJ, 92-fs pulses centered at 3.1 µm are generated at a 1-kHz repetition rate through a tabletop optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) system based on ZnGeP2 crystals. Pumped by a 2-µm chirped pulse amplifier with a flat-top beam profile, the amplifier achieves a 16.5% overall efficiency, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest efficiency achieved by OPCPA at this wavelength. Harmonics up to the seventh order are observed after focusing the output in the air.
Simultaneous electro-optic spectral switching and Q switching in a dual-wavelength Nd:YVO4 laser based on an aperiodic optical superlattice lithium niobate
Authors: Lu Chi-Meng , Deng Lin-Ming , Pham Tien-Dat , Chung Hung-Pin , Tseng Quan-Hsiang , Chen Yen-Hung
Published: October 2022

We report the demonstration of an electro-optic (EO) switchable dual-wavelength (1064- and 1342-nm) Nd:YVO4 laser based on an aperiodically poled lithium niobate (APPLN) chip whose domain structure is designed using aperiodic optical superlattice (AOS) technology. The APPLN works as a wavelength-dependent EO polarization-state controller in the polarization-dependent laser gain system to enable switching among multiple laser spectra simply by voltage control. When the APPLN device is driven by a voltage-pulse train modulating between a VHQ (in which target laser lines obtain gain) and a VLQ (in which laser lines are gain suppressed), the unique laser system can produce Q-switched laser pulses at dual wavelengths 1064 and 1342 nm, single wavelength 1064 nm, and single wavelength 1342 nm, as well as their non-phase-matched sum-frequency and second-harmonic generations at VHQ = 0, 267, and 895 V, respectively. A laser can benefit from such a novel, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous EO spectral switching and Q switching mechanisms to increase its processing speed and multiplexity for versatile applications.
Projected refractive index framework for multi-wavelength phase retrieval
Authors: Gao Yunhui , Cao Liangcai
Published: October 2022

Multi-wavelength phase retrieval provides a competitive solution to lensless holographic imaging that features a low-cost, compact design and high data acquisition speed. However, the existence of phase wraps poses a unique challenge for iterative reconstruction, and the resulting algorithms often suffer from limited generalizability and increased computational complexity. Here, we propose a projected refractive index framework for multi-wavelength phase retrieval that directly recovers the amplitude and unwrapped phase of the object. General assumptions are linearized and integrated into the forward model. Based on an inverse problem formulation, physical constraints and sparsity priors are incorporated, which ensures imaging quality under noisy measurements. We experimentally demonstrate high-quality quantitative phase imaging on a lensless on-chip holographic imaging system using three color LEDs.
‘What’s important is being in the room’: Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood and the politics of queer history
Authors: Mittermeier Sabrina
Published: October 2022

In his 2020 Netflix miniseries Hollywood, producer Ryan Murphy presents us with an almost utopian version of Hollywood, an alternate history that centres queer and Black voices over the realities of the repressive queerphobic and racist nature of the 1940s US society. It tells the story of an ultimately Oscar-winning film project surrounding the story of the real-life suicide of silent movie actress Peg Entwistle, put together by marginalized creators. In many ways, the miniseries commits to the screen a classic narrative of the American dream, of the marginalized overcoming adversity and ‘making it big’. It frames Hollywood as aspirational, both as an actual physical place but also as fantastical space, using strategies borrowed from theme parks and other immersive spaces. It is unusual in centring Black, queer and Black queer voices in this story, and by extension in history – in time and space(s) where they are usually erased. It makes use of nostalgia in manifold ways to do so, showcasing it as a tool that presents both opportunities and dangers when applied to marginalized communities. As such, it emerges as a liberal fairy tale espousing the virtues of individual action over collective activism against systemic injustices, and champions a politics of visibility rooted in whiteness. This article interrogates the potentiality of popular culture, and this text of historical television specifically, for reinscribing queer people into US public memory. To do so, it discusses the Disneyfication of Hollywood in the series and how it shapes our perception of the past, ideas of marginalized nostalgia(s) for queer and BiPoC (and queer BiPoC), and the role celebrity/star figures play for constructing history on-screen.
A turning point? Interview with Emmanuel Falque
Authors: Costa João Paulo
Published: October 2022

An interview with the professor and philosopher Emmanuel Falque, in the context of his passage through the University of Coimbra, in the context of the Journée Internationale d’études philosophiques, which will take place on 26 May 2022, at the Faculty of Letters, entitled: «L’im‑pensable : Aux confins de la phénoménalité». In this interview, In this interview, our author coming to his entire philosophical project, from its origins to his most recent scientific production. The philosopher tells us about the provenance of his thought through his main philosophical works and his existential interpretation and phenomenological reading of patristic and medieval philosophy as well as his debates with phenomenology and contemporary philosophy, particularly French philosophy. Here the epistemological and metaphysical question between philosophy and theology, literature and aesthetics, psychoanalysis and phenomenology is also addressed; the concept of «corps épandu», the corporeality or the embodiment as the cardinal point of human finitude and its incessant search to think our «humanity in common». Emmanuel Falque also presents us in this interview the genesis and the fundamental idea of Hors phénomène, as the central axis of his global philosophical project, but also as the revelation of a certain «turning point», inflexion or even of «radicalization» of his démarche, as well as its possible consequences to rethink aesthetics, ethics, politics and theology. The French thinker also talks to us here about the future of philosophy and the new horizons of his reflection (the new triptych...), about the authors and figures in the history of thought (philosophers or others) who have influenced and impacted his own philosophical‑existential path. Thus, the work of a thinker-philosopher is always an ex-position of himself to others, permanently thinking the world of life, the embodiment of reason in the folds of history.
The Hyperhors. Waldenfels, Falque and Poetry
Authors: Steinmann Jan Juhani
Published: October 2022

This contribution attempts, in the face of the criterion of the fruitful contradiction, to build a bridge between two recent developments in phenomenology: the hyperphenomenology of Bernhard Waldenfels on the one hand, and the extraphenomenology of Emmanuel Falque on the other. In the present article, this confrontation first attempts to prepare the possibility of an in-depth comparison. In this process opened here, we obtain a first transitional figure from a viviparous poetry which, in the light of the hyperphenomenologically and extra-phenomenologically unutterable, places in space a third relat: the hissing hyperhors.

Published: October 2022

In the modern world, one of the important directions of digital transformation is the developmentof Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Today, despite the fact that the technology is innovative on theterritory of the Russian Federation, it is used in global practice to intensify processes: from environmentalprotection activities to industrial and labor processes. In the context of achieving and putting into practicethe Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the UN, Internet of Things technologies contribute to theirimplementation in such areas as ecology and environmental protection, social integration and the eliminationof inequality. In Russia, the use of Internet of Things technologies is twofold: on the one hand, there arelegal conflicts of implementation of new regulatory norms in the current legislation of our country. On theother hand, in the field of practice, the problem of advancing technology and its application of legislativeinstruments that should regulate this field of activity is manifested. Nevertheless, the application of suchtechnical improvements entails the emergence of moral problems related to the guarantee of fundamentalhuman and civil rights and freedoms, also adopted at the UN level and making important adjustments to thebasic socio-humanitarian spheres of life.

Foreign Policy-making, Immorality, Public Opinion, Russia-Ukraine War and a Looming 3rd World War: Challenges, Prospects and Stakes for International Relations and Human Security
Authors: SAKWE MASUMBE Peter
Published: October 2022

The Russia-Ukraine war would hardly shirk the philosophy that, historically, wars are created and fought but hardly have they ended without meaningful, multilateral and multifaceted diplomatic shuttling in roundtable conferences and dialogues between belligerents and their sympathisers. Usually, the aftermaths are the unavoidable humiliation or gallantry gives and takes in irreparable damages of human and material resources. In the Russia-Ukraine war, given the politics, amorality and public opinion orchestrated by Western media with incessant calls for NATO to declare a No Fly Zone over Ukraine, and informed by the Rational Actor Model, which assumes that, the main actor in foreign policymaking is a rational individual or group of individuals, who can make informed, calculated decisions that maximise value and perceived benefits to the state, (Allison, 1971, Zerbe 2021), and using the historical research methodology, this paper examines the challenges, prospects and stakes for international relations and humanity, in terms of the global insecurity intrinsic in the Russian-Ukraine War. Consequently, it advocates the international community’s refraining and dissuasion of escalation of a looming 3rd World War.
Egyptology, Theodore Roosevelt and Lord Carnarvon in the Poetry of Ahmad Shawqi
Authors: Al-Rifai Nada Yousuf
Published: October 2022

It was Shawqi's right or rather his duty for which he was entrusted with his submissive talent, creativity, and ability to master the elements of poetry and the tools of art in addition to his strong patriotic sense and sincere national conscience to glorify the ancient civilization of Egypt. In this works, Shawqi praises Egypt’s monuments and its glory and indicates what happened to the ancient Egyptians who preceded him in the fields of science, art, building, architecture, engraving, painting, photography, and others. Shawqi referred to the pharaonic monuments in a group of his poems as part of a poem that has other purposes and in others as a complete poem with one purpose. This thinking indicates the extent of Shawqi's awareness of ancient Egyptian history, his familiarity with its events, and his use of Egyptian history in the service of poetic art.

Is academic freedom under siege? University and free speech
Authors: Sztajer Sławomir
Published: October 2022

Freedom of speech is an essential dimension of academic freedom. Without free speech, a university’s mission, which includes innovative research and high-quality teaching, cannot succeed. However, in recent years, the foundation of free speech on campus has been compromised. There are not only an increasing number of ideas and practices that challenge the liberal conception of free speech (e.g., political correctness, safe space, trigger warnings, verbal purification, and disinviting) but also theoretical justifications for such ideas and practices. This article focuses on the current discussion in the United States, where the debate on academic freedom is the most heated. The situation in the United States is important because it influences academic life in other developed countries. It can be argued that free speech does not exclude building a safe and inclusive campus environment. However, because of its central role in the university’s mission, freedom of speech cannot be traded against other values regardless of their importance.
Poles Towards Energy Transformation and Energy Sources – Sociological Perspective
Authors: Herudziński Tomasz , Swacha Piotr
Published: October 2022

The article presents the results of research on the issues of Poland’s energy transformation from a sociological perspective. The exploratory analysis covered the attitude of the Polish society to the energy transformation, i.e. a change in the methods of generating energy in Poland, which results from the climate policy adopted by the Polish government.1 The aim of the article is to present social awareness – the social expectations and perceptions of Poles regarding the energy transformation understood in this way – to determine whether the opinions and views of the Polish society are in line with the planned and implemented energy transformation processes. The article provides an answer to the question about the Polish society’s attitudes towards the energy transformation and energy sources – to what extent the attitudes towards the proposed solutions to the problems are positive, and to what extent negative. For this purpose, the method of analysing the existing statistical data was used The basis of the secondary data analysis are the results of public opinion polls, carried out by the Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS) in the period from 19872 to 2021. The sociological perspective adopted here assumes that the energy transformation is not only an economic but also a social process. For this reason, public support, in particular the positive attitude of respondents to new energy sources, is considered an important element of its success.

The text revolves around the use of lake isles by Western Slavs and Western Balts in the North European Plain in the early Middle Ages. The main goal of this article is to collect, discuss and analyse early medieval written sources that provide information about the locations’ forms and functions among old communities. This process has resulted in a picture of the various uses of isles by Slavs (and, to a small extent, by the Balts) which may serve as the starting point for an analysis of archaeological sources.
Lead and cadmium removal with native yeast from coastal wetlands
Authors: Vidal Narda Fajardo , Dávila Jorge Wong
Published: October 2022

Water bodies affected by heavy metals have been characterized in some natural ecosystems such as coastal wetlands in Peru. For this reason, in the present study, the determination of heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and others was carried out in the water bodies of the Regional Conservation Area (RCA) Wetlands of Ventanilla using the Induction Coupled Plasma method. Water samples were collected at the six most critical stations for Pb and Cd, for the isolation of lead-tolerant microorganisms in 2022 with the aim of evaluating native microorganisms with removal potential of Pb and Cd. Yeasts such as Candida guilliermondii, Candida famata, Cryptococcus laurentii, Cryptococcus humicola, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa with tolerance to high concentrations of Pb were isolated. The yeast with the best Pb tolerance result was Candida guilliermondii isolated from groundwater (piezometer sampling J1); Pb sorption was conducted with active yeast (living biomass), whereas both Pb and Cd sorption were conducted with inactive yeast (dead biomass). The results were compared with those of a reference standard yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae: the native yeast proved to have optimum behavior for the process.
How can complex graphemes be identified in German?
Authors: Reinken Niklas
Published: October 2022

The question of whether a letter is a grapheme or not is a perennial issue in writing research. The answer depends on which criteria are used to differentiate between letters and graphemes and, ultimately, how the unit ‘grapheme’ is defined. This problem is particularly relevant to complex graphemes, i.e. sequences of letters that behave like a single grapheme in certain respects. Typical for German is the ‹ch›. This paper argues for a scalar concept of graphemes, which compares the grapheme status of each of the units under investigation. For this purpose, new criteria for the identification of complex graphemes are used, which originate from handwriting analysis. There, it is shown that complex graphemes are connected with each other disproportionately often and also have deviating letter forms disproportionately often.

The second one is to extend the bounded domain of any local isometry to the second-order generalized linear span. The third objective of this article is to extend the bounded domain of any local isometry to the whole Hilbert space.
Pesticide soil microbial toxicity: setting the scene for a new pesticide risk assessment for soil microorganisms (IUPAC Technical Report)
Authors: Karpouzas Dimitrios G. , Vryzas Zisis , Martin-Laurent Fabrice
Published: October 2022

Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has imposed a stringent regulatory scheme for new pesticide compounds. Assessment of the aquatic toxicity of pesticides is based on a range of advanced tests. This does not apply to terrestrial ecosystems, where the toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms, is based on an outdated and crude test (N mineralization). This regulatory gap is reinforced by the recent methodological and standardization advances in soil microbial ecology. The inclusion of such standardized tools in a revised risk assessment scheme will enable the accurate estimation of the toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms and on associated ecosystem services. In this review we (i) summarize recent work in the assessment of the soil microbial toxicity of pesticides and point to ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) as most relevant bioindicator groups (ii) identify limitations in the experimental approaches used and propose mitigation solutions, (iii) identify scientific gaps and (iv) propose a new risk assessment procedure to assess the effects of pesticides on soil microorganisms.

Published: October 2022

The high prevalence of dental fluorosis and bone mineralization deficiency as a result of exposure to fluorides has increased in Kenya over the years due to consumption of water with elevated levels of fluoride. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides a guideline of 1.5 mg/L level of fluoride in drinking water. However, majority of studies carried out in Kenya over the last 40 plus years have indicated very high levels of fluoride in drinking water in various regions, with a prevalence in dental fluorosis observed in children and adults living in Rift valley and central regions due to basaltic and volcanic rocks. Unfortunately, this trend of fluoride-induced enamel changes has been observed in other regions such as Nairobi and Machakos which were originally presumed to contain low fluoride levels. This study sought to analyse the applicability of Maerua subcordata root powder (MSRP) in the removal of fluorides in borehole drinking water. Fresh Maerua subcordata roots were peeled to obtain the white flesh, chopped into small pieces, dried and ground into powder. The process parameters varied were; fluoride ion concentration [F−] (0–12 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0–200 g/L) and equilibration time (30–240 min) [F−] were hence analysed before and after treatment using ion selective electrode (ISE) fluoride meter. Results indicated that MSRP is a viable plant in fluoride treatment with approximately 68% fluoride ion removal efficiency. An MSRP dosage of 200 g/L was found optimal in [F−] reduction while a 2 mg/L [F−] concentration recorded the highest reduction of [F−]. The optimal equilibration time was found to be 30 min. The results can be used to develop a low-cost column for treatment of high fluoride waters in rural areas using MSRP. Borehole samples were treated with MSRP using the optimized conditions; however their reduction levels were lower than the [F−] standards used. It is envisaged that with further modification and/or doping with zero-valent iron nanoparticles, it’s efficiency will be improved.
Pursuing the Sacred: Discovering the Profane
Authors: Silveira Andy
Published: October 2022

Through self-reflexive, queer autoethnography, this article depicts the author’s transition from a religious scholastic to a queer-embracing person over four years at university. While enfolding the individual and the collective self, the author unearths new forms of existing that allow for authenticity with none of the complicity associated with double consciousness. This article examines how writing leads to meaning-making, visibility, and self-affirmation and becomes an exercise in letting go of shame, loss, and love.
Rousseau’s Dialogues as Autoethnography
Authors: Leach Stephen
Published: October 2022

Rousseau left us three examples of life-writing: The Confessions, The Reveries of the Solitary Walker, and the Dialogues (also known as Rousseau: Juge de Jean-Jacques). It is here argued that The Confessions is an example of autobiography and The Reveries is an example of memoirs. In contrast to these two works, in form and style the Dialogues have hitherto been thought of as one of a kind, an unparalleled anomaly. In this essay, it will be argued that the Dialogues are an early example of autoethnography. It will be shown how the concept of autoethnography may help us to better appreciate and contextualize this neglected and original work. Furthermore, armed with this knowledge, we might avoid repeating some of Rousseau’s mistakes.
Combining Collaborative Autoethnography and Reflexive Narratives in an IPV Study
Authors: Autret Maya , Turner Fatimah , Mele Kencia “Kence” , van Eeden-Moorefield Brad , Khaw Lyndal
Published: October 2022

This article discusses a methodological application combining collaborative autoethnography and reflexive narrative developed by three PhD students who witnessed IPV as children, to explore their own experiences as data. We provide an overview of the methods used and discuss each step of the research process, followed by insights gained in applying them toward the research aims. A core benefit of this approach is the safe space and iterative process it enabled for sharing and probing experiences, and the catalytic discursive data and analysis it yielded among the group in their triple role as researchers, peers, and survivors.
Necessary Pains
Authors: Naghib Saghar Leslie
Published: October 2022

The mind of a woman in labor is unparalleled in both strength and vulnerability. In this personal essay, I recount how I harnessed my memories about my mother and grief over her recent passing to cope with the isolation and pain of my labor and delivery on June 2, 2020—what became known as Blackout Tuesday—during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a first-time mother, being dropped off at the hospital while in pre-labor and walking through the double doors alone triggered the memories of entering the intensive care unit at the hospital where my mother died—the last time I had been in a hospital. It was a reminder that some spaces have room only for one. With my memory as my companion and labor support until my husband and I were permitted to be reunited hours after both testing negative for the virus, I navigate the meaning and purpose of pain as I push closer to giving life. This essay emerged during my first year of motherhood, out of my grapple with giving life while healing from my mother’s death, to gradually unveil my long-sought proverbial bend in the road.
Rebel Aesthetics
Authors: Magaña Maurice Rafael
Published: October 2022

This article examines how visual artists contribute to popular politics, emergent subjectivities, and collective histories of resistance. Through artistic interventions in urban space, artists disrupt, reconfigure, and reimagine the dominant spatial order. Such struggles over public space and political and cultural expression are especially contentious in places like Oaxaca, Mexico, where militarization and government surveillance coincide with heritage tourism. Youth have been particularly effective in maintaining a dissident presence in the city, in large part due to their ability to produce spatial networks linking ephemeral spaces of direct actions and protest art with more territorialized spaces like social centers. This article specifically considers how visual artists active in social movements use their public art to signal popular resistance to state violence and corruption, make contemporary Indigenous peoples visible in urban space, and transform spaces of tourism, consumption, and militarism into “counterspaces” guided by alternative logics of sociality, politics, and temporality. They do so through a set of collective space-making practices and sensibilities I call rebel aesthetics.

The nongenetic mechanisms required to control tumor phenotypic plasticity and shape drug‐resistance remain unclear. We show here that the Aryl hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) transcription factor directly regulates the gene expression program associated with the acquisition of resistance to BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) in melanoma. In addition, we show in melanoma cells that canonical activation of AhR mediates the activation of the SRC pathway and promotes the acquisition of an invasive and aggressive resistant phenotype to front‐line BRAFi treatment in melanoma. This nongenetic reprogramming identifies a clinically compatible approach to reverse BRAFi resistance in melanoma. Using a preclinical BRAFi‐resistant PDX melanoma model, we demonstrate that SRC inhibition with dasatinib significantly re‐sensitizes melanoma cells to BRAFi. Together we identify the AhR/SRC axis as a new therapeutic vulnerability to trigger resistance and warrant the introduction of SRC inhibitors during the course of the treatment in combination with front‐line therapeutics to delay BRAFi resistance.
Increasing Public Understanding of the Prevention and Complaints of Fraudulent Investments

The many offers of high income make many people interested in investing. People's carelessness backfires on those who are victims of fraudulent investments. Illegal investment or more commonly known as a fraudulent investment is indeed carrying out investment activities that are not following existing regulations. The ease of access to information and the affordability of technology today has become the ground for illegal investment actors to look for victims. Investments that initially aim to obtain maximum income from existing capital in the future harm investors. In illegal assets, it is not only the activities that are not appropriate, but the completeness of the licensing documents for investment companies is also incomplete. Many types of activities resemble investments but are fake or illegal. The victims of this activity are not only a few. Even from all walks of life are victims of this irresponsible activity. This service is carried out by educating the public regarding complaints and assisting with illegal investments. This service will be carried out by providing investment training for the community in Kalipancur Village, especially for mothers and teenagers who are often the target of investment fraud. Such an approach is expected to provide validity of the results as a good outcome. This training is considered efficient and effective because the public understands and understands commercial transactions through the internet to increase their knowledge to increase their income and standard of living.
An Evaluation of Relevance of Criminal Intelligence Management and Implications for Security and Public Safety in Benue State, Nigeria
Authors: Gberinyer Justine Tever , Okoro Ikechukwu , Adishi Eric
Published: October 2022

The study focused only on five local Government Areas of the State where incidents of various kinds of crime, particularly cattle herders attacks, cattle rustling, armed robbery, banditry, kidnappings and farmers-herders conflicts do occur regularly. A sample size of 18 (n-18) was determined for the study. The interview participants were recruited using the referral approach that was based on the purposive sampling technique of selecting persons with enough stock of knowledge, experience, and expertise on the topic of this study. The participants were recruited from the Nigeria Police, DSS, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and community vigilante groups in Makurdi, the State capital located in Makurdi L.G.A (Benue North-west Zone) and four other Local Government Areas , namely, Agatu (Benue South zone), Logo, Kwande, and Katsina-Ala (Benue North-east zone),where all manner of criminal activities, particularly armed robbery, banditry, kidnapping, herders attacks, farmers-herdsmen clashes, and cattle rustling take place on regular basis. Data analysis was done using thematic analysis approach. Lincoln & Guba’s 3-step model was applied with the aid of NVivo 11.The finding of the study was that the management of the collection/collation phase of information meant for intelligence production, including the various agents and tools used for that process (informants, surveillance, technologies (ICT), community policing, and interrogation) predisposes criminal intelligence management to be very relevant to the fight against crime. The finding of the study also showed that how the intelligence analysis phase of the intelligence production process, particularly intelligence analysis is managed makes criminal intelligence management have much relevance and implications to the fight against crime and insecurity.
The Impact of The Court Map in the Field of Advocacy
Authors: Rushiti Ana
Published: October 2022

The rule of law operates in accordance with the law, focusing on the equality of citizens before the law and the prohibition of the arbitrary power of the executive (Government). Justice reform is a mechanism that made it possible for citizens to increase their trust in justice. Justice reform was a mechanism that we had not heard before and it is important in this paper to mention the causes and consequences of justice reform by balancing them to understand its positive and negative sides. Judicial reform has mostly affected judges and prosecutors, but also lawyers in court cases as well and the public had an important role to denounce any judge or prosecutor who had given court decisions in violation of the law but also cases of corruption of judges or prosecutors. In this paper it is very important to address two very important principles sanctioned by the European Convention on Human Rights. the second is a trial within a reasonable time by analyzing court decisions and the importance of respecting deadlines by the courts for a speedy and effective justice. A new innovation taken from the countries of the European Union was the new court map that does not brought a few debates in our country and how the new court map will affect the economy of Albanians given that Albania is a developing country.
