Against the Marginalisation of Western Pedagogics in Postcolonial Zimbabwe
Authors: Wuta Dr Rodwell Kumbirai
Published: February 2024

The current textual analysis juxtaposes Western pedagogics with Zimbabwe’s instructional methodology as currently encapsulated in the Curriculum Framework for Primary and Secondary Education for period 2015-2022. This framework is a principal document that continues to enshrine Zimbabwe’s education system while it undergoes review. Thus, the reflection estimates the applicability of Western pedagogics (as informed by Western philosophies) to Zimbabwe’s postcolonial education system. This undertaking comes against the background of Education 5.0 which occasioned the ongoing move by the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education, Innovation, Science and Technology Development [Mo HTEISTD] in collaboration with the University of Zimbabwe [UZ] to scrap Western educational philosophies like idealism, empiricism, pragmatism, progressivism and social reconstructionism from Zimbabwe’s teacher education syllabus. Hence, the author is explicitly perturbed by the imminent disregard of Western philosophies and their respective pedagogics as a result of the unmistakable over-exaltation of the heritage-based philosophy within Zimbabwe’s new teacher education syllabus yet to be implemented. In the process of juxtaposing Western pedagogics with Zimbabwe’s instructional methodology, the author observes strong congruence between the former and the latter. Notwithstanding a few points of divergence between Western pedagogics and Zimbabwe’s instructional methodology, the former is applicable to the latter. The current reflection, therefore, demonstrates beyond doubt that the idea of peripherising Western pedagogics (on the grounds that it is informed by Western philosophies)is more emotive than rational. This article, thus, implores the MoHTEISTD and the UZ to revisit with due sobriety their position of wanting to excise Western philosophies and their respective pedagogics, and consider restoring the same to their rightful place in Zimbabwe’s teacher education syllabus so that the country’s entire education sector remains of global resonance.
Chromobacterium violaceum Infection in a Domestic Shorthaired Cat with Dog Bite Wounds
Authors: Zaini Syamira Syazuana , Mohd Yusoff Amal Amyrun , Yee Chan Wei
Published: February 2024

Chromobacterium violaceum is a motile, facultative anaerobe and Gram-negative Bacillus, a common inhabitant of soil and water in tropical and subtropical regions. Chromobacterium violaceum is recognised as an opportunistic pathogen of humans and animals. Although rare, a few chromobacteriosis cases were reported in humans and several species of animals. However, there is no published report of Chromobacterium infection in cats. This report describes a C. violaceum infection in a cat with a history of non-healing dog bite wounds. The bacterial culture of the wounds revealed pure growth of C. violaceum on both aerobic and anaerobic cultures. The infection in this cat was successfully treated after changing the antibiotic to enrofloxacin based on an antibiotic sensitivity test (AST). This case demonstrates the importance of culture and AST tests in non-healing wounds. Chromobacteriosis can be included in the differentials, especially if wounds are contaminated by soil or stagnant water.
Conceptualizing Climate Justice
Authors: Haque Mohammad Aynal
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The key objective of this study is to conceptualize climate justice.

Methodology: The study employs a qualitative systematic analysis of published articles focused on climate justice, and analyzes the various attributes within existing definitions of climate justice. The study analysis is based on secondary resources assessed through openly accessible documents, journals, and libraries.

Findings: The study finds that climate justice is used in various contexts — academia and social movement world — by scholars and organizations to achieve mainly three outcomes: outcome of procedural justice, physical or material outcome, and policy outcome. The lack of consensus on what exactly this concept means, leads to inconsistencies in its application and further confusion. Findings here point to the weakness of global climate governance in defining such an important concept while pursuing climate change actions.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy: While climate justice is often discussed at a global level, it is equally important to conceptualize it at the local level. In this regard, this study proposes a minimal definition of climate justice, which could be used to avoid a high extension of the concept, in general, both in academia and the social movement world.

Asymilacja nazewnicza i oswajanie przestrzeni tzw. Ziem Odzyskanych w realiach powojennych na przykładzie rynków staromiejskich
Authors: Szczepańska Marta
Published: February 2024

This article concerns postwar changes of hodonyms and agoronyms in the area of old town markets of selected cities, in the context of adaptation processes of the allochthonous population. The analysis includes four voivodship cities in the area of the northern and western territories, known as the Recovered Territories (after the administrative division of Poland on June 28, 1946): Gdańsk, Olsztyn, Szczecin and Wrocław. The results of the comparative research are presented in descriptive, cartographic and tabular form. Based on them, it was concluded that the naming changes of the old town market squares were the result of naming assimilation (identified as a top-down process) and domestication of space (identified as a bottom-up process). Both processes contributed to an entirely new chapter in the history of cities in these lands, creating a semantic storyline construct that is unique in Poland and the world.

Tras la Sentencia de la Audiencia Nacional 69/2023, de 29 de mayo, el registro retributivo de las empresas debe informar de los datos retributivos de toda la plantilla, expresados mediante valores medios y medianos y, cuando no sea posible de esta forma, mediante valores individualizados
Authors: García Campá Santiago
Published: February 2024

Si hasta la Sentencia de la Audiencia Nacional (SAN) 23/2023, de 23 de febrero, parecía un criterio pacífico la exclusión de los datos retributivos individualizados del registro retributivo, previsto en el artículo 28.2 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores y desarrollado por el Real Decreto 902/2020, esa sentencia reconoció el derecho de la representación de las personas trabajadoras en la comisión de igualdad a exigirlos cuando fueran necesarios para evaluar la existencia de puestos de trabajo de igual valor en la empresa. Desbordando esa doctrina judicial, la SAN 69/2023, de 29 de mayo, reconoce el derecho de la representación de las personas trabajadoras a conocer los datos retributivos de toda la plantilla en el registro salarial, expresados de dos formas: mediante los valores retributivos medios (media y mediana) y, cuando no puedan expresarse de este modo, mediante los valores retributivos individualizados. La contribución entabla un diálogo crítico con la SAN 69/2023 sobre el cumplimiento de la reserva de ley que exige el artículo 8 de la Ley orgánica 3/2018, el deber de confidencialidad de la representación de las personas trabajadoras como única garantía específica suficiente para su protección, la irrelevancia de la existencia de un acuerdo de empresa sobre los puestos de trabajo de igual valor y, finalmente, el papel de la negociación colectiva en la determinación del contenido del registro salarial. Como el debate jurídico se ha planteado en el plano de la legalidad, la sentencia no aborda un juicio sobre la razonabilidad y la proporcionalidad de la inclusión de los datos retributivos individualizados en el registro retributivo en relación con el derecho a la protección de datos personales (art. 18.4 Constitución española).
The genesis of land-based violence in Mt. Elgon from the precolonial period to the postcolonial period
Authors: Ndiema Kiptoch William
Published: February 2024

This study traces the genesis of land-based conflicts in Mt. Elgon from the precolonial period to the postcolonial period. This research was conducted in Mount Elgon Sub County in Kapsokwony, Kaptama, Kopsiro, and Cheptais. This research utilised primary as well as secondary sources of data. Secondary data was procured from Kenyatta University Library, among other libraries. Primary data was collected from the Kenya National Archives as well as from oral sources through interviewing the identified respondents in the field. Data instruments that were used include questionnaires and question guides. The procedures employed in collecting primary data included in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions. The primary oral data was analysed by first translating oral interviews from the Sabaot language to English, grouping data according to the objectives, and verifying any possible contradicting information. After that, the data was coroborated with archival and secondary data and then presented through descriptive narratives. The families in the Mount Elgon area faced several difficulties, which called for the government to handle the issues, which undermined the significance of peace in the region. This study concludes that the land issue and the emergence of the Sabaot Land Defense Force in Mount Elgon, Bungoma, dates back to the pre-colonial and post-colonial periods and the post-colonial Government's inefficiency. The colonial Government's land ordinances, laws, and concessions played a significant part in the challenges facing the land issues in Kenya.

Analysis of illusion in the use and effect judgment of learning strategies of over- and under-predictors through Bayesian inference
Authors:   The Korean Association For Thinking Development, Kang Echeol
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the tendency of over- and under-prediction in the context of predicting test scores, and what learning strategies are used a lot by over-predictors(OPs) and how they judge their effects through conditional probability. 74 undergraduate students selected the three most frequently used and effective learning strategies respectively from the 10 strategies. 72% of students overestimated the test score, which was strong enough to reach 29% even in the fourth-tier students with the highest actual score. The mean difference is significant(t=5.06, p<.001). In the conditional probability of strategies most used and judged to be effective by two types of predictors, the 'low' strategy is judged to be less effective than the high degree of use, and the 'high' strategy shows the opposite illusion. However, although the conditional probability of use differs greatly between the 'high' and 'low', the conditional probability of effect does not differ significantly. In the rate of up and down between the prior and the posterior probability, the OP has a lower posterior than the prior in both the use and effect judgment. In other words, it means that the percentage of all students who use (or judge that it is effective) is higher than that of the OPs. This was the same as 'distributed practice', and the conditional probability of use and effect of 'retrieval practice' only is slightly higher than that of all students. Contrary to expectations in the degree of use and effect judgment of the 'low' strategy, it was confirmed that students' illusion of the 'low' strategy was very serious through a Bayesian reasoning.
A study on development of a storytelling-based empathy education program to improve community spirit and empathy: Focusing on preservice teachers
Authors:   The Korean Association For Thinking Development, Kang Mun-Suk
Published: February 2024

This study develops a storytelling-based empathy education program to improve community spirit and empathy and examines its effectiveness by applying it to prospective teachers. The collected data included questionnaires, reflection diaries, interview data, literature and case analysis were conducted to develop the program. In addition, a paired-sample t-test was conducted to confirm pre- and post-differences in sense of community and empathy. As a result of the study, first, a storytelling-based empathy education program was developed to improve community spirit and empathy ability. Second, the sense of community and empathy of prospective teachers showed a significant difference in the pre- and post-test, showing a positive effects. Therefore, this study suggests that a storytelling-based empathy education program to improve prospective teachers' sense of community and empathy can be effectively used in universities. Therefore, it was proposed to operate a storytelling-based empathy education program not only in the teaching subjects of university teacher training courses, but also in various academic areas such as various major subjects, non-curriculum subjects, and liberal arts education.

General Election is a process to achieve formal legal authority that is carried out by the participation of candidates and controlled by supervisory institutions, in order to gain legitimacy from the community authorized by applicable law. To be able to reach the success of a campaign, political marketing is needed. The concept of marketing is not only limited to business. This fact attracts more attention from many parties to apply marketing science outside the context of business organizations. Marketing can be applied to organizational forms, which are not only oriented towards economic profit alone and focus more on long-term relationships with consumers and stakeholders. The results of the 2020 Population Census show that Indonesia's population is dominated by millennials and generation Z. Political marketing communication with voting decisions has a relationship. The research findings illustrate that political marketing communication is very influential on millennials, especially in recognizing the profiles of candidates.

Sea spray emissions from the Baltic Sea: comparison of aerosol eddy covariance fluxes and chamber-simulated sea spray emissions

Published: February 2024

Abstract. To compare in situ and laboratory estimates of sea spray aerosol (SSA) production fluxes, we conducted two research campaigns in the vicinity of an eddy covariance (EC) flux tower on the island of Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea during May and August 2021. To accomplish this, we performed EC flux measurements for particles with diameters between 0.25 and 2.5 µm simultaneously with laboratory measurements using a plunging jet sea spray simulation chamber containing local seawater sampled close to the footprint of the flux tower. We observed a log-linear relationship between wind speed and EC-derived SSA emission fluxes, a power-law relationship between significant wave height and EC-derived SSA emission fluxes, and a linear relationship between wave Reynolds number and EC-derived SSA emission fluxes, all of which are consistent with earlier studies. Although we observed a weak negative relationship between particle production in the sea spray simulation chamber and seawater chlorophyll-α concentration and a weak positive relationship with the concentration of fluorescent dissolved organic matter in seawater, we did not observe any significant impact of dissolved oxygen on particle production in the chamber. To obtain an estimate of the size-resolved emission spectrum for particles with dry diameters between 0.015 and 10 µm, we combined the estimates of SSA particle production fluxes obtained using the EC measurements and the chamber measurements in three different ways: (1) using the traditional continuous whitecap method, (2) using air entrainment measurements, and (3) simply scaling the chamber data to the EC fluxes. In doing so, we observed that the magnitude of the EC-derived emission fluxes compared relatively well to the magnitude of the fluxes obtained using the chamber air entrainment method as well as the previous flux measurements of Nilsson et al. (2021) and the parameterizations of Mårtensson et al. (2003) and Salter et al. (2015). As a result of these measurements, we have derived a wind-speed-dependent and wave-state-dependent SSA parameterization for particles with dry diameters between 0.015 and 10 µm for low-salinity waters such as the Baltic Sea, thus providing a more accurate estimation of SSA production fluxes.
Towards a hygroscopic growth calibration for low-cost PM2.5 sensors

Published: February 2024

Abstract. Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors continue to grow in popularity, but issues such as aerosol-size-dependent sensitivity drive the need for effective calibration schemes. Here we devise a time-evolving calibration method for the Plantower PMS5003 PM2.5 mass concentration measurements. We use 2 years of measurements from the Berkeley Environmental Air-quality and CO2 Network sensors deployed in San Francisco and Los Angeles in our analysis. The calibration uses a hygroscopic growth correction factor derived from κ-Köhler theory, where the calibration parameters are determined empirically using US Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality System (EPA AQS) reference data at co-location sites during the period from 2021–2022. The parameters are found to vary cyclically through the seasons, and the seasonal cycles match changes in sulfate and elemental carbon PM composition fractions throughout the year. In both regions, the seasonal RH dependence calibration performs better than the uncalibrated data and data calibrated with the EPA's national Plantower calibration algorithm. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the seasonal RH dependence calibration reduces the root mean square error (RMSE) by ∼40 % from the uncalibrated data and maintains a mean bias much smaller than the EPA national calibration scheme (−0.90 vs −2.73 µg m−3). We also find that calibration parameters forecasted beyond those fit with the EPA reference data continue to outperform the uncalibrated data and EPA calibration data, enabling real-time application of the calibration scheme even in the absence of reference data. While the correction greatly improves the data accuracy, non-Gaussian distribution of the residuals suggests that other processes besides hygroscopic growth can be parameterized for future improvement of this calibration.
The XSO framework (v0.1) and Phydra library (v0.1) for a flexible, reproducible, and integrated plankton community modeling environment in Python
Authors: Post Benjamin , Acevedo-Trejos Esteban , Barton Andrew D. , Merico Agostino
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Plankton community modeling is a critical tool for understanding the processes that shape marine ecosystems and their impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. These models can be of variable ecological, physiological, and physical complexity. Many published models are either not publicly available or implemented in static and inflexible code, thus hampering adoption, collaboration, and reproducibility of results. Here we present Phydra, an open-source library for plankton community modeling, and Xarray-simlab-ODE (XSO), a modular framework for efficient, flexible, and reproducible model development based on ordinary differential equations. Both tools are written in Python. Phydra provides pre-built models and model components that can be modified and assembled to develop plankton community models of various levels of ecological complexity. The components can be created, adapted, and modified using standard variable types provided by the XSO framework. XSO is embedded in the Python scientific ecosystem and is integrated with tools for data analysis and visualization. To demonstrate the range of applicability and how Phydra and XSO can be used to develop and execute models, we present three applications: (1) a highly simplified nutrient–phytoplankton (NP) model in a chemostat setting, (2) a nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton–detritus (NPZD) model in a zero-dimensional pelagic ocean setting, and (3) a size-structured plankton community model that resolves 50 phytoplankton and 50 zooplankton size classes with functional traits determined by allometric relationships. The applications presented here are available as interactive Jupyter notebooks and can be used by the scientific community to build, modify, and run plankton community models based on differential equations for a diverse range of scientific pursuits.

Abstract. Snow is a vital component of the earth system, yet no snow-focused satellite remote sensing platform currently exists. In this study, we investigate how synthetic observations of snow water equivalent (SWE) representative of a synthetic aperture radar remote sensing platform could improve spatiotemporal estimates of snowpack. We use a fraternal twin observing system simulation experiment, specifically investigating how much snow simulated using widely used models and forcing data could be improved by assimilating synthetic observations of SWE. We focus this study across a 24∘×37∘ domain in the western USA and Canada, simulating snow at 250 m resolution and hourly time steps in water year 2019. We perform two data assimilation experiments, including (1) a simulation excluding synthetic observations in forests where canopies obstruct remote sensing retrievals and (2) a simulation inferring snow distribution in forested grid cells using synthetic observations from nearby canopy-free grid cells. Results found that, relative to a nature run, or assumed true simulation of snow evolution, assimilating synthetic SWE observations improved average SWE biases at maximum snowpack timing in shrub, grass, crop, bare-ground, and wetland land cover types from 14 %, to within 1 %. However, forested grid cells contained a disproportionate amount of SWE volume. In forests, SWE mean absolute errors at the time of maximum snow volume were 111 mm and average SWE biases were on the order of 150 %. Here the data assimilation approach that estimated forest SWE using observations from the nearest canopy-free grid cells substantially improved these SWE biases (18 %) and the SWE mean absolute error (27 mm). Simulations employing data assimilation also improved estimates of the temporal evolution of both SWE and runoff, even in spring snowmelt periods when melting snow and high snow liquid water content prevented synthetic SWE retrievals. In fact, in the Upper Colorado River region, melt-season SWE biases were improved from 63 % to within 1 %, and the Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency of runoff improved from −2.59 to 0.22. These results demonstrate the value of data assimilation and a snow-focused globally relevant remote sensing platform for improving the characterization of SWE and associated water availability.
Sliding mode control of electro-hydraulic servo system based on double observers

Published: February 2024

Abstract. In this paper, in order to solve the real-time state value acquisition and external-disturbance problems faced during the working process of an electro-hydraulic servo system, a sliding mode controller based on dual observers is designed, which enables the system to effectively acquire the state value and realize better control accuracy. The method uses a high-gain observer to obtain the system state in real time and then adds a perturbation observer to provide more accurate state and perturbation observations for the sliding mode controller. The dual observer observes the obtained states and external perturbations and feeds these back to the sliding mode controller to control the system accurately. Finally, the observation performance of the observers is verified by comparative simulation, and the proposed control method can improve the control accuracy.

BACKGROUND: ABO blood type affects general and oral health, as salivary physiochemical features are different among various blood kinds. Thus, these may affect the dental caries severity. This work studied the caries experience prevalence in individuals displaying various blood types. This work tested the association between ABO blood group and dental caries. Also, this work evaluated which ABO groups are associated with a higher vulnerability to dental caries.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty Tikrit University students were randomly selected and were put into four groups based on blood type, and dental caries experience was diagnosed and scored based on the index of Decay Missing Filling Teeth and Surfaces (WHO, 2013). This index scores caries lesions by severity.
RESULTS: The blood type O was the most frequent (37%), followed by B, A, and AB types. Caries experience (DMFS and DMFT) was statistically significantly higher among the B blood group (P<0.05). 
CONCLUSION: ABO blood group was associated with dental caries disease.

Internet sebagai sumber daya informasi mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam berbagai sektor kehidupan, jaringan internet merupakan induk dalam proses berbagi maupun pertukaran informasi. Seorang administrator harus terus belajar dan menganalisis masalah yang sering terjadi pada sebuah layanan internet yang mengakibatkan koneksi internet masih terasa sangat lambat, traffic yang tidak seimbang, terputusnya koneksi internet, sering mengalami time out serta mengalami kerusakan pada media transmisi. Untuk meningkatkan kualitas jaringan yang semakin baik. Failover merupakan mode operasional cadangan dimana ketika link pertama menjadi tidak tersedia atau bermasalah baik melalu kegagalan atau down time terjadwal maka secara otomatis koneksi dan seluruh data yang ada pada link pertama akan dialihkan ke link backup yang telah disediakan. Dalam penerapan failover juga ada beberapa metode yang bisa digunakan untuk meminimalisir terputusnya koneksi yaitu, metode Per Connection Clasifier (PCC), Equal Cost Multi Path (ECMP) dan NTH kesemuanya ini berfungsi untuk mengurangi beban traffic pada sebuah jaringan dan memaksimalkan data yang keluar maupun yang masuk melalui jaringan tersebut

Beyond Boundaries: Painting Re-inscriptions in the Fifteenth to Seventeenth Century China
Authors: Wang Wenxin
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the widespread practice of adding multiple inscriptions to a single artwork at different times in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries China. Such practices became prominent when literati painters revisited artworks they had previously created or owned, or when paintings had accumulated a multitude of inscriptions over time. Within the realm of Chinese art discourse, this phenomenon is denoted as “re-inscriptions.” By examining re-inscriptions written on extant paintings and embodied in individual anthologies, this paper demonstrates that these texts transcended the boundaries of art and touched upon the painters’ own lives and the society in which they lived. On the one hand, literati painters engaged in a dialogue with their past selves through re-inscriptions, exploring themes of mortality, aging, and the passage of time – topics seldom addressed in traditional Chinese painting. On the other hand, they utilized re-inscriptions as a means of social interaction, with some re-inscriptions becoming formulaic, adaptable to various artworks to meet different social needs. Furthermore, when faced with preexisting inscriptions on an artwork, artists added new ones for a conversation with their predecessors. Throughout this process, the accumulation of inscriptions transformed the artwork into a layered cultural narrative, and enabled the literati painters in shaping a elite community transcending time and space.
