Published: June 2022

In order that students become able to exercise their full rights of citizenship, they need to develop abilities and competencies related to statistical literacy at compulsory school levels. These include being able to read, interpret and criticize media information and take conscious decisions in the face of these readings. In Brazil, in 1998, it was suggested that, in the middle school, the study of statistics be incorporated into the mathematics curriculum, and in 2002 the same was prescribed for the high school level. In this context, the aim of this paper is to identify the institutional practices of statistical literacy as specified by the Education Ministry in their official documents and to analyse in the pedagogical orientations, also supplied by the Ministry, the expected levels of statistical literacy levels. Results show that there have been great improvements in relation to statistical literacy, but much has yet to be done in the compulsory school.
Duality of probability and statistics teaching in French education
Authors:   Université Paris Diderot, Carranza Pablo , Kuzniak Alain ,   Université Paris Diderot
Published: June 2022

In epistemological studies, two main interpretations of probabilities are the frequentist and the Bayesian. In this paper we first show that both interpretations are present in French Secondary schools, albeit the official curriculum only supports the frequentist approach. We then suggest a possible teaching situation to introduce teachers and students to the subjective-objective duality with some statistics training situations via the use of problem solving. We also give some characteristics and conditions useful to build situations fitted to this goal.
Teaching statistics at the primary school level: beliefs, affordances, and pedagogical content knowledge
Authors:   University of Melbourne, Chick Helen , Pierce Robyn ,   University of Melbourne
Published: June 2022

The degree to which statistics teaching focuses on rules or on critical thinking depends on teachers’ perceptions of and knowledge of statistics, along with their pedagogical content knowledge. This paper reports findings from a brief study with 27 pre-service primary teachers. The teachers completed a survey and planned a lesson for a grade six class, based on a resource that offered rich data and opportunities for addressing issues of statistical literacy. The survey responses and teaching plans analysis reveal an ambivalent attitude towards statistics and an inability or unwillingness to engage deeply with the resource. Most teaching plans focused on correct graphs and rules for presentation or calculation of statistics but put little if any emphasis on understanding the data source or its implications. This simple task provided insight into the pre-service teachers’ knowledge and perceptions, as well as their priorities for their students.
Establishing PCK for teaching statistics
Authors:   University of Tasmania, Watson Jane , Callingham Rosemary ,   University of New England, Donne Julie ,   University of Tasmania
Published: June 2022

This report considers the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of 42 teachers selected to be part of a professional learning program in statistics. As part of a profile measuring many aspects of teacher confidence, beliefs, teaching practice, assessment practice, and background, PCK is addressed through responses to student survey items and how the items could be used in the classroom. Rasch analysis is used to obtain a measure of teacher ability in relation to PCK. Based on measured ability, three hierarchical clusters of teacher ability are identified, and the characteristics of each described in terms of the items likely to be achieved. These are exemplified with kidmaps of individual teachers’ performances from each of the three clusters.
Teacher knowledge for teaching statistics through investigations
Authors:   Massey University, Burgess Tim
Published: June 2022

This report compares the teacher knowledge of two early career primary school teachers (drawn from a study of four teachers) as it was needed in the classroom during the teaching of statistics through investigations. The study involved video recording a sequence of four or five lessons and audio recoding post-lesson stimulated recall interviews with the teachers. These interviews were based on the teacher viewing selected episodes from the lesson videos. The results showed marked differences in the teacher knowledge of the two teachers, as analysed against a framework developed from the mathematics teacher knowledge domain and the statistical thinking domain. The conclusions and implications drawn from the results are discussed in relation to both initial (or preservice) teacher education and professional development for teachers.

Gürcistan Demokrasisine Dair Bir Tartışma
Authors: KAYA KARABULUT Seda
Published: June 2022

Sovyet sonrası küresel literatürün siyaset bilimi akademisinde en hararetle tartışılan meselesi, demokratik değerlerin yeni oluşan devletlere nasıl entegre edileceğine yönelikti. 1990’lı yıllara karşılık gelen bu dönem, SSCB’nin dağılması ile meydana gelen yeni ulus devletlerin demokrasi ve bağımsızlık hikayelerini oluşturdukları ve buna bağlı olarak uluslararası ortamın siyasal sistem ve siyasal rejim tartışmalarını da beraberinde gündeme getirmişti. Batı kaynaklarının iddiası bir barış döneminin başladığı, devamında demokrasi düzeninin oturacağı ve dahası liberal demokrasinin ön plana çıktığı küresel bir zafer kazanıldığı yönündeydi. Bu öngörü özellikle SSCB’den ayrılan ve Batı ile kültürel ya da coğrafi anlamda entegre olabilecek devletler için düşünülmüş bir projeydi. Gürcistan hem bu nitelikte bir devlet olması hem de kuruluşundan itibaren Rusya ve Batı arasında kurduğu denge siyaseti dolayısıyla çalışmanın merkezine alınmıştır. Bu çalışma Gürcistan hakkında bu öngörülerin gerçekleşip gerçekleşmediğine dair bir yorumu içerirken, Gürcistan’ın siyasi kurumlarını, sosyal ve siyasi yapısını, seçim sistemleriyle beraber bir Batı ülkesi olup olmadığını ortaya koymaya çalışacaktır
Teachers’ Perceived Impact of an Online Professional Development Course on Content and Language Integration and Pedagogical Translanguaging
Authors: Fazzi Fabiana
Published: June 2022

Research has already shown that designing instruction that simultaneously develops students’ content and language competences is fundamental especially, but not only, when students are educated in a second, foreign or additional language. Unfortunately, content teachers working in different types of bilingual education programmes hold varying beliefs about the role of language for and in learning and often struggle to successfully integrate language and content objectives. This is particularly the case of content teachers working in the Italian network of educational institutions in the world who struggle to support students to learn content through Italian as the language of instruction, but also tend to fail to recognize the importance of validating their linguistic and cultural background. In this context, the dearth of training is accompanied by a dearth of research on the effects of professional development courses.This paper aims to fill this gap by reporting on the effectiveness of a short online teacher professional development (OTPD) course aimed at supporting both primary and secondary subject teachers working in Italian international schools abroad to integrate content and language learning from a plurilingual and pluricultural perspective. Specifically, it explores teachers’ perceptions in relation to the design and implementation features of the course and to its effects on their beliefs, teaching practice, and professional identity.
Campo e cidade, comida e imaginário
Authors: Menasche Renata
Published: June 2022

Em um contexto em que, por um lado, pode-se identificar uma ansiedade urbana contemporânea em relação à alimentação e que, por outro lado, percebe-se mais intensa a mobilidade, material e simbólica, entre campo e cidade, este trabalho busca discutir as percepções do rural de agricultores e citadinos, tendo como ponto de observação suas práticas alimentares. Os dados apresentados foram coletados em diferentes situações de pesquisa, ocorridas no período compreendido entre 2000 e 2007, em três distintas regiões rurais do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (localizado no Brasil meridional) e em sua capital, Porto Alegre. Entre as questões apontadas a partir da análise desenvolvida, temos que, das classificações da alimentação operadas pelos moradores de Porto Alegre entrevistados, emerge um rural valorado positivamente, idealizado, que, ao demandar alimentos – mas também paisagens, costumes, festas, história, turismo –, age na conformação do rural vivenciado pelos que nele habitam, transformando percepções e identidade.
Opportunities for Research in Air Transportation
Authors: Button Kenneth
Published: June 2022

This article is concerned with the likely future direction of social science, and especially economic, research in air transportation. To avoid excessive speculation, the assessment is based on as much factual information as possible. It assumes, for example, that much of the technology likely to be used in the near future is known today, although it may not yet be fully developed. To provide a structure, other than just a long list of research possibilities, the study considers three basic trends—continuing trends, trend breaks, and new trends—in air transportation. The approach adopted is also mainly demand driven in that it looks at the probable research needed to explore these various trends, and it says little about how this research may be resourced, or how research priorities are likely to be determined. It is positive in its approach, trying to be as objective as possible, and focusing more on the use of developments in economic and related analysis than on normative debates about what policies should be pursued.

Authors: Reynolds-Feighan Aisling , Zou Li , Yu Chunyan
Published: June 2022

This industry note focuses on the seasonal variability in air traffic services and highlights the differences between air service capacity provision in Europe and North America. We explore the manifestations and measurement of seasonality, looking at the trends across airport communities and among airlines in the two continental regions. The relationship between airline network structure and seasonality is also explored in the study. We argue that there are a complex set of drivers of the observed differences in air traffic seasonality and set out a research agenda for further investigation.
Evaluation of water quality and ecological risk assessment index from highly oil-contaminated sites in the Niger Delta Nigeria
Authors: Amarachi Paschaline Onyena
Published: June 2022

Multi-element indices in an aquatic ecosystem provide insight into the synergistic effects of many ecological parameters. Using standard analytical techniques and pollution indicators, the eco-toxicological state of oil-contaminated water in three communities in Warri Southwest, Niger Delta, Nigeria, was assessed. Water samples were examined for physicochemical properties, heavy metals, PAH and TPH levels. The ANOVA results showed no significant difference (p >0.05) between the means of the physicochemical parameters and the study stations for the combined parameters. Out of the twenty-five parameters evaluated, the Nemerow Pollution Index (NPI) results revealed thirteen contributing parameters to overall water contamination in the research areas. Conductivity, TSS, TDS, DO, BOD, COD, Oil and Grease, Heavy Metals (Cu, Ni, Mn, and Cd), and Hydrocarbons are among them. These parameters also exceeded the maximum permitted limits set by NESREA. Heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) and geo-accumulation index (Igeo) in water were both found to be high. The PERI (potential ecological risk index) had values >100, indicating a high level of ecological risks. The study areas' overall water quality index (WQI) indicated poor to unsuitable water quality. Water pollution in the selected communities is attributed to various industrial and domestic activities along the waterways, crude oil spills, illegal refining, dredging, and ship and speed boat movement. Periodic monitoring and preventive measures are required in the study areas to keep the aquatic ecosystems from entirely degrading. Adequate legislation and proper effluent management could aid in the prevention of indiscriminate toxic compound discharge into water.

Published: June 2022

Schistosomiasis is one of the most important neglected tropical diseases in terms of morbidity and mortality and it is endemic in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This study was conducted between March and November, 2021 to determine the prevalence of urogenital schistosomiasis among reproductive women in three (3) communities (Biseni, Okordia and Zarama) in Yenagoa metropolis, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A total of two hundred (200; Biseni 70, Okordia 70 Zarama 60) Mid Stream Urine (MSU) samples collected were immediately taken to Medical Microbiology Laboratory unit, Niger Delta University and analyzed using Filtration and Sedimentation technique. Snails collected were identified by the shape of their outer shell. Basic statistics method and ANOVA was used to analyze the data. Out of the 200 urine samples examined, 50(25.0%) were tested positive for Schistosoma haematobium. The age- related infection showed that the age-group 19-30 years had relatively the highest (18, 36.0%) rate of infection, followed by 12-18 years 16 (32.0%), age-group (31-40)(6, 12%) and age group (41-50) years had (10, 20.0%) infection rate while the most infected community was Zarama with percentage prevalence of 40.0, followed by Okordia 36.0 and the least was Biseni 24.0. Observation showed that farmers had the highest prevalence of 30.6%, house wives 29.7%, Traders 24.5%, Students 22.9% and the least was Civil servants 14.7%. Bulinus globosus was the only snail intermediate host identified in both ponds and streams. Human water contact activities observed around the water bodies were recreational activities (washing, bathing, and fishing) and harvesting of freshwater snails. Variance (ANOVA) of the age- specific prevalence of urogenital schistosomiasis in the three communities showed no significant difference among the study population at P<0.05 and also across the infected population in the three communities. In conclusion, this study has revealed the existence of urogenital schistosomiasis in these three (3) study communities in Bayelsa state, hence health education and provision of safe water should be stepped up as a control measure of the infection in the area.

Nutritious food maintains good health, cognitive development, and academic performance in children, necessitating Nigeria's National School Food Programme (NSFP). Despite the economic growth observed in developing countries, malnutrition and particularly under nutrition is still highly prevalent. Therefore, assessing the food quality of the NSFP in terms of the nutritional content of food is essential at ensuring that the objective of improving access to education of the programme is achieved. This study assessed the nutritional content of food (proximate analysis) of food distributed to pupils by the NSFP in Bauchi local government, Bauchi state Nigeria. The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study and a simple random technique was used involving 17 schools and 5 different meals were sampled. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency tables and percentages. The result revealed that beans were mostly consumed. 0.04%-0.3%, 71.66%-75.56%, 0.02%. -0.6%, 6.2%-10.1%, and 15.7%-19.2 % in carbohydrate, protein, lipid, ash and moisture respectively while the nutritional content of white rice ranged from 73.6%-78.22%, 0.02%-0.7%, 0.2%. -0.7% ,7.2%-9.1% and 13.7%-17.5% in carbohydrate, protein, lipid, ash and moisture respectively. Also, the nutritional content of yam and stew served ranged from 70.71%-75.14%, 0.02%-0.4%, 0.12%.-0.56%, 7.7%-10.2% and 14.6%-18.9 % in carbohydrate, protein, lipid, ash and moisture respectively while the nutritional content of jollof rice ranged from 72.24%-74.13%, 0.05%-0.06%, 0.2%.-0.56% ,8.0%-9.3% and 16.2%-19.5% in carbohydrate, protein, lipid, ash and moisture respectively and nutritional content of yam and oil ranged from 71.0%-85.3%, 0.02%-0.8%, 0.03%.-1.2% ,1.63%-11.0% and 9.0%-17.0% in carbohydrate, protein, lipid, ash and moisture respectively. Most of the meals are high in carbohydrates and moisture with low protein. On the contrary, the quality, quantity and low in protein diets are of great health concern if the consumption of the foods were not complemented.

The stabilization capability of kaolin clay powder (KCP), Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and rice husk ash (RHA) was scrutinized using laboratory scrutiny. This was meant at assessing the effect of KCP, OPC and RHA on the stabilization of three lateritic soils for use as sub-base pavement layer materials. Three soils (Soil A, B and C) were improved with various percentages (via weight of dry soil) at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% for all stabilizing agents and compacted via BSL (British Standard light) energy. Their impacts were assessed on the strength physiognomies such as UCS (unconfined compressive strength), OMC (optimum moisture content), and California bearing ratio (CBR), and MDD (maximum dry density tests based on ASTM (American Standard Testing Materials) codes. The result reveals that MDD improved with increase in the quantities of all the additive (SSA, KCP and geopolymer) content, while OMC for KCP reduces from 18.65% at 0% to 14.02%. Both SSA and geopolymer increase from 18.65% at 0% to 18.86% and 22.20% at 10%.Similarly, it displays highest CBR of the soil from 10.88% at 0% to 12.84%, 112.95% and 144.45% for (SSA, KCP and geopolymer, this specify that lateritic soil treated with 2% stabilizer yielded CBR values of more than 405%.

Authors: OC Okwonna
Published: June 2022

The study combines both simulation modeling and optimization of bitumen-palm kernel oil blend for austempering of cast iron and steel. Two independent factors namely austenitizing temperature (A) and holding time (H) were evaluated while five responses which includes ultimate tensile strength (u.t.s), hardness (h), impact strength (i), percentage elongation (e), percentage reduction in area (r.i.a) were evaluated. 3-D response surface and 2-D contour plots through response surface methods were used to estimate multi-response mathematical models. Desirability function approach provided by MINITAB 18 was used to determine the optimal settings of the response and factors after adequacy of the models to approximate the measured data had been established at 0.10 confidence level. From the result, optimum conditions for austenitizing temperature was 916.50C and 5 min while the predicted values of quenching hardness, ultimate tensile strength, impact strength, %elongation, %reduction in area were 1327.29MPa, 29.36J, 72.77%, 86.79% and 175.59HRC for 0.56%C-Steel; 1407.97MPa, 20.04J, 50.80%, 49.17% and 196.13 for 0.76%C-Steel; 1235.01MPa, 32.42J, 60.39%, 55.99% and 234.99HRC for ductile cast iron. Great improvement was seen in the steel performance after austempering process which gave rise to the conclusion that as the austempering time and holding time increases, that the mechanical properties of the steel were affected. Quenching of 0.56%C, 0.76%C-steel and ductile cast iron at the optimal settings using B-PKO saved one thousand naira (₦1000.00) showing 28.57% profit. The developed empirical models are recommended in some of the automobile and engineering industries during heat treatment operations so as to save time and energy.

Modern endodontics has become very advanced and it need very fine radiographic details which can be obtained through CBCT. The present study was carried with a purpose of evaluation of main reasons for referral of endodontic subjects for Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and impact of preoperative CBCT over the diagnosis and treatment planning in these referred cases. Materials and methods: In this study complete case study of patients who reported for endodontic procedures were examined. From this data those cases were selected which were further referred for CBCT examination. The CBCT images were analysed and information were gathered regarding the number of patients and teeth examined with CBCT, the main purpose to refer the case for CBCT examination, whether the teeth were endodontically treated previously, if there was presence of endodontic lesion, whether symptoms were present at the time of CBCT examination, if there was change in the diagnosis and treatment planning after CBCT examination and what type of treatment was carried out for each tooth after CBCT examination.
Issues and challenges with changing perspectives of outraging the modesty of women in India
Authors: Sandhu Himanshu , Gangwar Manan , Bharadwaj Manish
Published: June 2022

The number of women's rights violations is steadily rising. This has taken a toll on women's life, causing mental and physical suffering. In Section 354 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the concept of outraging women's modesty is thoroughly defined. The use of violence or illegal force with the goal to dishonor a person without any grave provocation is covered by Section 355. Furthermore, section 509 makes outraging modesty a crime. It is common knowledge that features of assault and unlawful force demand extensive explanation. It's difficult to deny that these offences have been on the rise in society. However, it has been noted that the abuse of these specialized and important legislation is widespread. Additional provisions appear to have been added as a result of the code modifications. This study seeks to examine the legal interpretations of Sections 354 and 509, as well as the current situation and the continued misuse of the laws. This Paper also attempts to analyze the interpretations made by courts in various situations and proposes modifications to strengthen the laws in light of changing circumstances, with a particular focus on the in-depth meaning of assault, criminal force, and other key phrases in that respect.

Water is the mass important component in the atmosphere since, on the one hand, it is necessary for the endurance of all forms of life, and on at the same time, it aids in the development, course, and cycling of nutritive in the ecosystem. 97% of this earth’s water is found in the sea and since sea water is pungent, it isn't exactly accessible to the plants also, creatures living ashore and consequently misses the mark on capacity to utilize salt water. 2% of aggregate supply of water is preserved as frosty. Antartica and Greenland are both covered in ice. This is new water is available, but it cannot be used. 1% of earth’s water is found ashore as by the same token ground water or surface water. Reality of the situation is that people approach just half percent of all of the earth’s water, an extremely upsetting figure, to remind individuals that water is a restricted asset. Wellbeing and climate are turning into a genuine concern as they influence one another and the complete course of financial development.

Design and Analysis of Hollow Catenoidal Horn Profile for Ultrasonic Machining of Composite Materials
Authors: Mubashir Muhammad , Mutahir Raza , Shoaib Ur Rehman Muhammad
Published: June 2022

The composite materials Si/AlC, crystal quartz, and ceramic glass are becoming an important part of the present society in many engineering and non-engineering fields. Conventional methods available for machining these materials have many flaws due to which their application on large scale is restricted. A non-conventional process known as ultrasonic machining (USM), can be implemented for machining of these materials effectively. Anyhow machining efficiency of USM greatly depends upon its horn design and therefore in the present study a horn based on a catenoidal profile with aluminum and titanium material for USM was designed and developed by using solid works and ANSYS. Modal and harmonic analysis was done on the horn for computation of various parameters of interest such as resonant frequency, amplitude vibration and equivalent stresses. After the computation of the results, they were analyzed and compared with those available in the literature in terms of stresses and magnification factor for their validation comparison with literature, it was found that an aluminum catenoidal horn shows higher magnification with the least stress magnitude as compared to horns avail-able in the literature and hence can be used in USM as a replacement for existing horns.
Harvesting/tapping techniques for production of natural resins andoleo-resins – A review
Authors: Prasad Niranjan , Giri S.
Published: June 2022

Natural resins and ole-resins are among the important non timber forest products commonly used in paints, varnishes, paper, cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries. Resins occur in a wide range of plants. The resins may be found in any part of the plant or may occur only in the inner tissues and are extracted from the trees by tapping the trees. Resin tapping is done by exposing the resin ducts by making suitable incision on the stem of trees. The resin is exuded from the resin canals where incision is made and is collected by various methods. Most of the natural resins are collected in small quantities by forest dwellers by adopting traditional tapping methods. The tapping methods used are brutal and injurious to the plants, often leading to their death. The technology available is old and the innovations are essential for sustainable yield and quality control. Concerted efforts by researchers and agencies such as research Institution, Universities and non-governmental agencies is urgently needed to improve method of tapping and collection for sustainable production of resins.

Published: June 2022

Around 70-90 % of medicines are given orally, and this reduces the value comparatively, whereas, Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) is one of the very effective ways of delivering drug to the body by limiting the site for administration and even reducing the number and size of dose given to achieve the result for systemic treatment through local dermal application. Transdermal drug delivery system is one of the innovative drug diffusion system that has gained interest overtime because of its advantages over oral route of administration, such as, non-invasive, high bioavailability, omits the first pass metabolism, has no pain and minimal/less side effects. The present analysis emphases on the herbal approach in TDDS and eliminating the inconvenience caused in oral route of administration such as, unpleasant taste, odour, colour, and side effects like gastritis. The main objective behind of development of an alternate novel dosage form is to reduce the inconvenience/problem caused to the patient and increase the efficacy, success and protection of the drug. This evolution aims at formulating the adhesive patches by integrating herbal sources. The synthetic drugs are developed to treat complicated disease but these medications are themselves related to many side effects, it is where the nature comes in, herbal source on other hand is more effective, safe and easily available. There are different herbal patches available that aids in weight loss, quit smoking, alleviates stress and anxiety, to reduce abdominal cramp, rheumatic pain, to lower blood glucose level as an antidiabetic, etc. Integration of Novel drug delivery systems like TDDS with Indian ayurvedic medicines and pure plant extracts offers significant potential to treat various diseases.
