Published: June 2023

This study aims to determine the impact of running speed and limb muscle strength on the squat-style long jump results of State Senior High School students. The participants of this study were 40 people. The data collection technique for measuring speed was the 40-meter sprint test, for measuring limb muscle strength, namely the standing broad jump test, and for measuring the long jump style squat, namely the long jump style squat test. Data analysis techniques to find out the relationship between (X1, Y) and (X2, Y) used the Product Moment Correlation Formula. The Linearity Test was intended to test whether the data obtained is linear or not. If the data is linear, then it can be continued with the regression technique. The finding concludes that the three variables have a significant value that is less than 0.05 (significant value 0.05). The multiple correlations (R) between the independent variable and the dependent variable have a significant relationship because of F-count (18.5) â‰¤ F-table (37). This means that there is a contribution to the relationship between running speed and limb muscle strength with the results of the squat-style long jump. So, schools can take advantage of the results of this research as one of the considerations for providing facilities for long jump activities and providing teaching materials for sports teachers.

Translating Violence from Texts onto Screen: Violation of Human Rights
Authors:   Associate Professor, Amity School of Communication Amity University Haryana, Jainiti Dr Esha
Published: June 2023

The paper aims to explore the translation of violence from textual sources to the screen and its implications for human rights violations. The art forms we create are a product of our collective memories of experiences. Whereas many other forms of expression produce still images that need to be viewed, read or heard to get an impact and reaction. Cinema as a moving visual art brings together likeminded people to create visuals that immediately attract all segments of our society. The reactions are often generated instantly and spreads through various social media platforms, generating much debate and heat. The social imbalances between man and woman have been subjects of many novels and stories. The different power equations between different castes have also been focused at times. Despite making much progress – both in terms of social movements and legal provisions, domestic violence still persists in India. It is rather on the rise in India posing a great concern for the human rights activists. Whereas the verbal texts have had limited effects in raising our consciousness, once transferred into life-like visuals, women become visibly matters of objectification. Most stop at raising the gender issues as their critiques. The research utilizes a multimodal approach, considering both the visual and verbal elements of film texts. By understanding the significance of film as a medium and its impact on viewers, this study provides insights into the intersection of cinema, society, and human rights.

Published: June 2023

The present research explores Darcy Ribeiro's contributions about the identity of the Brazilian people, which emerges as an identity of new people, as something that previously had no parallels, since it is the result of the historical processes of colonization and miscegenation. In this sense, this article uses basic research, based on a qualitative approach, with a search through bibliographical research, to try to understand the identity of a people who went through a process of not recognizing themselves as Portuguese, nor black African and nor indigenous, which is born from the harsh violence provoked at the beginning of the history of terra brasilis, when the colonizers arrived. Key concepts and even Darcy Ribeiro's own bibliography are explored in order to understand the notions of identity, culture, education, emancipation and construction of the Brazilian People. It is assumed, above all, that the Brazilian people, who are not the result of a racial democracy, but of the intersection of the white Portuguese, black African and indigenous matrices originating in the land of Brazil, demanding action in favor of the integration of all these people in the scope of educational training, citizen recognition and the realization of their prerogatives of dignity - in contrast to exclusion and inequalities.

Ethical Leadership as an Imperative in Zambian Universities: A Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Chilufya Lewis Bwalya
Published: June 2023

Currently, Zambian universities face challenges of ethical leadership. These challenges are multifaceted and mostly common. In their wake, there is no guidance on how to devise a fitting ethical leadership. The objective of this article is to theoretically answer to this need. To this effect, it interrogates the classical notions of ethics and leadership. It then comparatively explores major models of ethics, that is, the deontological, teleological and relationality-responsibility models. In this light, it makes an evaluation of ethical challenges in university leadership. Though particular university-situations vary, the assumption of this treatment is that there are certain enduring ethical qualities and principles that should cut across. These features should be present in ethical leadership in any university context. Thus, through a comparative analysis of literature on the major ethical models and a discussion on the implications of prevalent ethical challenges in universities, the article establishes and recommends the model that can be used to adequately shape leadership to meet common ethical exigencies. On this score, it also concludes that effective leadership of universities cannot be delinked from ethics; the two are sides of the same coin and are both indispensable for the success and sustainability of universities.
A Similar-Sounding Surnames Sequel: Haplogroup R-FT70038
Authors: Branan John Maury
Published: June 2023

Historical and Y-DNA analysis suggests that men with Branan and similar-sounding surnames of haplogroup R-BY140757 originated from the de Braham of Norman origin, who settled in Suffolk after the Norman conquest of England. Over the centuries, these de Braham took on important roles in English and Irish governance, military, and judiciaries. And in Ireland, the Norman surname took on, as was not uncommon, a Gaelic sound and written appearance, i.e., Branan and similar. Descendants of Irish colonial settlers in Virginia with Branan-sounding surnames (Branham, Brannan, Brannon, etc.), who belong to the sub-haplogroup R-BY140757>FT70038, have been identified as the progeny of two notable eighteenth-century colonial North American settlers – Caron Brannon and Kenyon Branan. This article identifies genealogical lines with known or hypothesized connections to Caron and Kenyon. Caron Brannon’s will indicates he had four sons, three of whom have direct male descendants documented and one documented to have died without children. Additionally, there are birth records for a fifth son, the eldest, who finds no mention in Caron’s will. Paper genealogy shows Kenyon Branan had one son with certainty, but three other lines are widely speculated to descend from him. This project identified and recruited descendants from Caron’s and Kenyon’s lines for DNA testing. Y-DNA results for descendants of two well-documented sons of Caron Brannon form sub-haplogroups, R-FTC4333 and R-FT101136. This result is consistent with the hypothesis that Caron Brannon is the patriarch of R-FT70038. However, a striking new sub-haplogroup to R-FT70038, dubbed R-Y10443, was discovered matching two of the three lines previously thought to descend from Kenyon. The eldest son of Caron is shown as a possible father to Kenyon or as the patriarch of R-Y10443, but he cannot be both. This new insight suggests strongly that the patriarch of R-FT70038 was one to three generations prior to Caron Brannon and that Kenyon Branan plays a minor role in the lineages of the haplogroup. The number of potential R-FT70038 haplotree options is now clearly defined. A combined analytical assessment of Y-SNP, Y-STR, and autosomal results reinforces the well-documented genealogies, debunks the speculative ones, and reveals new connections and chronologies that no single previous approach provided. Statistical modeling of the combined DNA data prefers the Haplotree with R-Y10433 descending directly from the patriarch and Kenyon Branan descending directly from Caron Brannon through his eldest son John.

Authors: Bourke-Taylor Helen , Leo Monica , Harris Vanessa , Tirlea Laura
Published: June 2023

Importance: Mothers of children with disabilities experience health disparity. Interventions targeting maternal mental health need to be developed.

Objective: To determine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the Healthy Mothers Healthy Families–Health Promoting Activities Coaching (HMHF–HPAC) intervention for mothers to improve participation in healthy activities and mental health and to evaluate outcome measures.

Design: Nonrandomized controlled pilot feasibility study with one group who received HMHF–HPAC and a control group.

Setting: Pediatric occupational therapy service; on site or telehealth.

Participants: Twenty-three mothers completed prequestionnaires; of those, 11 mothers participated in the intervention, and 5 did not (7 withdrew).

Intervention: Eleven pediatric occupational therapists were trained to deliver six 10-min sessions of HMHF–HPAC to mothers, integrated into their child’s therapy session or separately via telehealth.

Outcomes and Measures: Mixed-design analysis of variance explored changes in scores on the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale–21 Items and the Health Promoting Activities Scale.

Results: The intervention group reported, on average, significant reductions in depressive symptoms and stress symptoms and significant increases in participation in health-promoting activity. No significant main effect of time was found for these variables in the control group.

Conclusions and Relevance: The HMHF–HPAC program is a viable occupational therapy coaching intervention that can be embedded in existing services for families of children with disabilities. Future trials that evaluate the effectiveness of the HMHF–HPAC intervention for mothers of children with disabilities are warranted.

What This Article Adds: This article provides support for the feasibility of appropriate and sensitive outcome measures and program content and delivery to implement the novel HMHF–HPAC intervention in further research. Mothers of children with disabilities benefited from integrated HMHF–HPAC delivered by pediatric occupational therapists within the family’s existing services.

Authors: Siba Davis Miller
Published: June 2023

Kepulauan Borneo digambarkan sebagai sebuah kepulauan yang kaya dengan sumber mineral (British North Borneo Herald, 1889). Perkara ini juga ada dinyatakan oleh para pelayar atau navigators khususnya orang Eropah dalam old travel book mereka. Antara sumber mineral yang didakwa wujud di Kepulauan Borneo ialah seperti emas, antimoni, cinnabar, arang batu, tembaga dan bijih besi. Perkembangan imperialisme dan kolonialisme di Barat telah menyebabkan orang Eropah berlumba-lumba untuk mendapatkan tanah jajahan di sebelah timur. Di Borneo Utara, selepas mendapat Piagam Diraja pada tahun 1881, pihak British North Borneo Chartered Company (BNBCC) melihatkan bahawa sumber ekonomi yang utama bagi kelancaran pentadbiran awal mereka di Borneo Utara ialah bergantung kepada penemuan sumber mineral oleh para mineral explorer. Usaha BNBCC kian serius apabila tertubuhnya beberapa buah syarikat dan jawatankuasa berkaitan sumber mineral mula beroperasi seperti Mineralogy Department, Gold Committee, British North Borneo Gold Syndicate, British Borneo Gold Mining Company, British Borneo Exploration Company dan lain-lain. Selain melantik mineral explorer, pihak BNBCC juga memberikan ganjaran sebanyak $500 dolar kepada mana-mana individu yang berjaya menjumpai sumber mineral di Borneo Utara (Bitish North Borneo Herald, 1884). Maka, penulisan ini cuba untuk mengetengahkan eksplorasi sumber mineral yang telah dijalankan oleh mineral explorer dalam dekad awal pentadbiran BNBCC di Borneo Utara khususnya oleh Frank Hatton.

Abstract. This paper details the development and evaluation of the enhanced future FLows and Groundwater (eFLaG) dataset of nationally consistent hydrological
projections for the UK, based on the latest UK Climate Projections (UKCP18).
The projections are derived from a range of hydrological models. For river flows, multiple models (Grid-to-Grid, PDM (Probability Distributed Model) and GR (Génie Rural; both four- and six-parameter versions, GR4J and GR6J)) are used to provide an indication of hydrological model uncertainty. For groundwater, two models are used, a groundwater level model (AquiMod) and a groundwater recharge model (ZOODRM: zooming object-oriented distributed-recharge model). A 12-member ensemble of transient projections of present and future (up to 2080) daily river flows, groundwater levels and groundwater recharge was produced using bias-corrected data from the UKCP18 regional (12 km) climate ensemble. Projections are provided for 200 river
catchments, 54 groundwater level boreholes and 558 groundwater bodies, all sampling across the diverse hydrological and geological conditions of the UK. An evaluation was carried out to appraise the quality of hydrological model simulations against observations and also to appraise the reliability of hydrological models driven by the regional climate model (RCM) ensemble in terms of their capacity to reproduce hydrological regimes in the current period. The dataset was originally conceived as a prototype climate service for drought
planning for the UK water sector and so has been developed with drought, low river flow and low groundwater level applications as the primary objectives. The evaluation metrics show that river flows and groundwater levels are, for the
majority of catchments and boreholes, well simulated across the flow and
level regime, meaning that the eFLaG dataset could be applied to a wider
range of water resources research and management contexts, pending a full evaluation for the designated purpose. Only a single climate model and one emissions scenario are used, so any applications should ideally contextualise the outcomes with other climate model–scenario combinations. The dataset can be accessed in Hannaford et al. (2022): https://doi.org/10.5285/1bb90673-ad37-4679-90b9-0126109639a9.
La naturaleza en la biblioteca: los herbarios de El Escorial y las colecciones de Diego Hurtado de Mendoza
Authors: Andretta Elisa , Pardo-Tomás José
Published: June 2023

El redescubrimiento de los herbarios de Diego Hurtado de Mendoza en la Biblioteca de El Escorial permite ofrecer una mirada diferente a la biblioteca del aristócrata, diplomático, coleccionista y poeta granadino. Cuando su biblioteca pasó a manos de Felipe II, tras la muerte de Mendoza en 1575, los herbarios se incorporaron al programa cultural, político y artístico que se estaba creando en torno al monasterio-palacio-mausoleo. Este artículo pretende proponer una nueva mirada a estos herbarios situándolos en los dos contextos culturales en los que vivieron, el de su producción y el de su recepción. Ambos contextos se basaron no sólo en la biblioteca mendocina como espacio de construcción de conocimiento sobre el mundo natural, sino también desempeñando diferentes roles dentro de una biblioteca que se había movido entre Italia (Venecia, Trento, Padua, Bolonia, Roma) y España (Granada, Madrid, El Escorial) a lo largo de cuatro décadas decisivas para el futuro de la Monarquía Católica.

Esto se hace con el fin de mostrar la relevancia que tienen estos estudios en los diversos contextos educativos desde lo local, nacional e internacional. Por lo anterior, es importante mencionar que el presente manuscrito se desarrolló en tres momentos: el primero, concierne a la recolección de la información, donde se realizó un rastreo bibliográfico, en el que se encontraron los estudios relacionados con las categorías seleccionadas. El segundo momento corresponde al procesamiento de la indagación, donde la información encontrada se organizó en una ficha doxográfica. Y el tercer momento, se procedió a analizar la información de acuerdo con la aproximación de los estudios encontrados. Dentro de las principales tendencias halladas, se puede aludir a la relevancia de los ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje en el contexto educativo desde los diferentes niveles, así como la aplicación de diversas estrategias para fortalecer la producción textual y la necesidad de abordar el tema propuesto, dada la poca literatura disponible.
TEACHERS’ NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN LEARNING ENGLISH FOR THE YOUNG LEARNERS
Authors: Istiqamah Istiqamah , Baa Sultan , Samtidar Samtidar
Published: June 2023

This study aimed at finding out the types of teachers’ non-verbal communication in English classes and the types of teachers’ non-verbal communication the most and less affecting young learners’ motivation in English classes. This study applied a mixed-method research design. The participants were two English teachers; the third and fourth-grade students, third grade consisted of 20 students while the fourth grade consisted of 7 students at SDIT At-Tibyan Al-Auliya Bajeng selected by total population sampling. An observation checklist was used to find out the types of teachers’ non-verbal communication in English classes and a questionnaire was used to find out the types of teachers’ non-verbal communication the most and less affecting young learners’ motivation in English classes. The findings of this study showed types of teachers’ non-verbal communication in English classes were divided into two parts they are body languages, which consisted of facial expressions, body gestures and movements, eye contact and touch and the use of space, and paralanguage which consisted of intonation, pitch, rhythm, volume, speed, accent and emphasis and types of teachers' nonverbal communication  that most affected young learners’ motivation in English classes was body gesture and movement, based on the result of questionnaire 85% of the students very agree that the teachers' body gesture and movement affected their motivation in learning English, and 15% of them agree that they get more motivation if the teacher uses their body gestures in the learning process, while types of teachers’ non-verbal communication that less affected young learners’ motivation in English classes was touch and the use of space, based on the result of questionnaire only 19% of the students very agree and also 19% of students felt agree that the teachers' body gesture and movement affected students’ motivation in learning English.
NOVICE EFL TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: A NARRATIVE INQUIRY INTO MICRO-LEVEL DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Authors: Ikrar Ikrar , Baa Sultan
Published: June 2023

Educational researchers have made great strides in theorizing teacher professional development, though attention is still concentrated on isolated mental processes. This study therefore reports on a narrative inquiry aiming to find out micro-level development process that occurs in two novice EFL teachers and also to reveal the features of teacher’s change that appear to facilitate English language teaching and learning. A variety of data collection techniques including; narrative frame, field notes, semi-structured interview and stimulated recall interview are used to make teachers’ behavioral, attitudinal and intellectual component of micro-level development explicit. Two overarching themes that emerge in this narrative inquiry are; the route to be a good English teacher and rediscovering the passion to teach. The  important key finding  of  this  study is that the early year of teaching is sensitively crucial to EFL teachers’ micro-level development, which is characterized by a positive shift from constructive experiences and aspiration of better English language learning process to internalization of empathy, attentive and responsive manner. Another key finding of this study is that all the novice EFL teachers who spoke positively about implementing changes in their classroom practices, embraced most of the process of micro level development that occurred, based on intuition, without clear theoretical underpinning of pedagogy, and merely classroom-bound focus. However, this study contributes to the current knowledge in relation to the crucial role of three distinct patterns of PD; discontent, aspiration and without intention
Palynofacies analysis – principles and application for paleoenvironmental studies: implications from Bulgaria
Authors: Pavlishina Polina
Published: June 2023

The use of palynofacies analysis has been steadily increasing during the last decades. This stems from both commercial interests (i.e., hydrocarbon exploration) and academic research of past environments and studies of the global climate changes that took place during the Phanerozoic. In both commercial and academic contexts, there is a need for a better understanding of palaeoenvironmental changes in order to correctly date and interpret the depositional facies recorded in boreholes and outcrops. The present paper introduces this important analysis in the Bulgarian literature with characteristic examples of different palynofacies types documented by the author in Cretaceous sections in Bulgaria and their interpretation. These examples highlight the value of using palynofacies and palynomorph associations in an integrated approach for paleoenvironmental reconstructions in Bulgaria.
Geochemistry of ore minerals from Chelopech deposit: II. Trace-elements in enargite-luzonite
Authors: Vangelova Victoria
Published: June 2023

The concentrations of trace elements in enargite-luzonite from blocks 8, 19-SE, 19-NW, 19-NE, 19-SW, 103-W, 103-E, 144, 146, 147, 149-south, 150, and 151 of copper-gold high sulphidation Chelopech deposit were determined by LA-ICP-MS. It was found that the enargite-luzonites from the individual blocks are enriched in different degrees of “impurity” elements: those from block 19-SW are enriched in Ge, Ga, and W; from block 146 of Bi; from block 147 of Se, Sb, Sn, and In; from block 149-south of Zn, Pb, Tl, and Cd; from block 8 of Fe, Mn, and Ti; from block 103-Е of Au and Hg; from block 103-W of V, Ga, and Mo; from block 150 of Ag and from block 151 of Те. In addition, a preferential distribution of trace elements between pyrite and enargite-luzonite is observed. For example, silver, lead, manganese, nickel, cobalt, thallium, molybdenum, chromium, and titanium are concentrated in the first, while germanium, gallium, indium, tin, zinc, antimony, tellurium, bismuth, mercury, vanadium, tungsten in the second, and in most cases they are structurally related. Both minerals are concentrators of gold, but it reaches its highest values in the latter (309 ppm from block 103-Е and 118 ppm from block 151), and in both cases its presence is mainly due to microinclusions of native gold and/or electrum and tellurides.

Authors: M. Ibrahim , M. Sule
Published: June 2023

This study examines the nexus between household income and child labor in Northeastern Nigeria using Logit Regression method as methodology. The study uses a multistage sampling technique to obtain data from 9 selected Local Government Areas in Adamawa, Bauchi, and Yobe States. The data was sourced by administering questionnaires to 810 children through their household heads in 3 wards of each Local Government Area. The results of the study show that household income significantly determines child labor in Northeastern Nigeria. The coefficient of household income was found to be -1.612 which indicates that household income negatively impacts child labor. Therefore, the study recommends that the government provide policies that will enhance the level of household income in the region.
