Authors: Michael Godpower Chinedu , Usman Muhammad Baba , Aliyu Ibrahim , Grema Bukar Alhaji , Ahmed Abdulazeez Omeiza
Published: October 2021

Introduction:

Existing evidence suggests that barotitis media (BM) is common among air travellers, and it has the potential to cause severe discomfort and sometimes permanent hearing and balance deficits. It has not been studied in Nigeria.

Objective:

This study aimed to assess the pre-air travel health-seeking behaviour, prevalence of BM, knowledge of BM and its associated factors among a cohort of outpatients with a history of recent air travel in Kano, Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:

This questionnaire-based survey involved 97 participants systematically and proportionately selected from adult patients or caregivers of children with recent air travel history attending two outpatients clinics over 7 weeks. Information on biodata, pre-air travel advice-seeking behaviours, air travel experience and BM knowledge were obtained. Data were analysed using the descriptive statistical methods, Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests and odds ratio (OR).

Results:

Most participants were male (54.6%) with tertiary education (87.6%); the prevalence of BM was 44.3% (43/97). Only 2.1% (2/97) had ever sought pre-air travel advice from a doctor; 83.5% (81/97) had heard of BM before; 42% had adequate knowledge of BM. Employment status (Fisher's exact, P = 0.001), clinic at recruitment (Fisher's exact, P = 0.00008), duration of last flight (Fisher's exact, P = 0.0001) and persistent ear-pain after landing (Fisher's exact, P = 0.001) were significantly associated with participants' knowledge of BM. Persistent ear-pain after landing was the predictor of BM knowledge (OR = 0.04, 95% confidence interval [0.002–0.67], P = 0.025).

Conclusion:

The BM knowledge level of this cohort suggests the need for further studies to ascertain the complete picture and justify improved pretravel education of air travellers in our setting.

Splitting Brauer classes using the universal Albanese
Authors: Ho Wei , Lieblich Max
Published: October 2021

We prove that every Brauer class over a field splits over a torsor under an abelian variety. If the index of the class is not congruent to 2 modulo 4, we show that the Albanese variety of any smooth curve of positive genus that splits the class also splits the class, and there exist many such curves splitting the class. We show that this can be false when the index is congruent to 2 modulo 4, but adding a single genus 1 factor to the Albanese suffices to split the class.
Comment: Legitimizing Gerrymandering in the Harari Regional State Contrary to the Principle of Equality of Votes
Authors: Assefa Simeneh Kiros
Published: October 2021

The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) had rejected the request to enable ethnic-Hararis who reside outside Harari Regional State to vote in the election of Harari National Council members. The Board stated that it is not bound by prior practices that do not have constitutional foundation. The Board further noted that accepting such demand would jeopardize the fairness and impartiality of the Board against other minority ethnic groups whose members reside outside their national state.  NEBE argued that article 50(2) of the Harari Constitution contradicts the provision of article 50(3) of the FDRE Constitution. However, based on the Harari National Council’s petition to the Federal Supreme Court, the decision of NEBE has been reversed, and this has been further affirmed by the FSC Cassation Division. This comment examines the legal foundation and propriety of the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court and the FSC Cassation Division. Inter alia, the FSC Cassation Division has misinterpreted a provision under article 50(2) of the Harari Regional State Constitution that expressly refers to the right to be candidate in elections at place of birth as opposed to voting rights irrespective of residence.
The Legal Framework and Barriers to Access to Environmental Information in Ethiopia
Authors: Yusuf Abdulkader Mohammed
Published: October 2021

Information plays a vital role, both in terms of its importance for a democratic order and as a prerequisite for public participation. Many countries have made provisions for access to information in their respective constitutions. The FDRE Constitution explicitly provides that everyone has the right to seek and receive information. The Freedom of Mass Media and Access to Information Proclamation –which entered into force in 2008– gives effect to this Constitutional guarantee. Moreover, the number of laws on different environmental issues is on the rise, and the same could be said of the multilateral environmental agreements that Ethiopia has ratified. Many of the laws incorporate the right of the public to access environmental information held by public bodies. Despite the existing legal framework, there are still notable barriers to access to environmental information. By analyzing the relevant laws, the aim of this article is to contribute to the dialogue on the constitutional right of access to information with particular emphasis on the legal framework on, and the barriers to, access to environmental information within the meaning of Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration.
Ignorância da lei penal e deveres de evitá-la
Authors: Ashworth Andrew
Published: October 2021

“A ignorância da lei não exclui a responsabilidade penal”, é o que nos dizem desde cedo nossos estudos jurídicos. Ou, para ser mais preciso, “ignorância da lei penal não é defesa contra uma acusação penal”. Essa parece ser a regra neste País, fora um par de exceções bem estabelecidas e outra possível. Eu vou argumentar que essa é uma doutrina absurda, apoiada em fundamentos inseguros dentro do direito penal e em proposições questionáveis a respeito das obrigações políticas dos indivíduos e do Estado. Ao desenvolver esses argumentos, chamarei atenção para os diferentes problemas do desconhecimento da lei penal em três grandes áreas – infrações regulatórias, crimes graves e crimes omissivos –, com vista a sugerir que há muito mais que o Estado precisa fazer para que a questão da ignorância da lei penal seja tratada de forma adequada e justa. Eu começo examinando a regra pertinente do direito penal inglês e as justificativas oferecidas em seu favor. Em seguida, passo a situar a doutrina da “ignorância da lei” no contexto do princípio da legalidade e do Estado de Direito, bastiões da teoria liberal do direito penal. A parte três explora, então, as três grandes áreas do direito penal e as partes quatro e cinco levam o debate para o campo das obrigações políticas dos indivíduos e do Estado nessas matérias.

Published: October 2021

Notwithstanding the fact that extensive studies have highlighted the positive impact of flipped learning on developing learners’ skills, the literature has still been silent on its effect on Indonesian English learners’ communicative competence. To address this issue, this experimental study sheds some light on the significant impact of flipped learning method on developing English learners’ communicative competence. A total of 40 English learners of a university in Indonesia were grouped into flipped and non-flipped classrooms. Through the flipped learning, the course materials were delivered by means of Google classroom platform prior to the class, and the classroom activities were mostly allocated for communicative practices. To obtain the data, this study employed a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) questionnaire. Drawing on paired sample t-test and descriptive statistics, the results depicted that there was a significant difference between the learners’ pre-test and post-test scores of DCTs in the flipped group, and it significantly outperformed the non-flipped group. The results of TAM questionnaire further indicated that most of the learners appreciated the learning activities conducted in the flipped learning environment, and positively perceived Google classroom as an online platform for language learning. As the conclusion, it is a worth saying that flipped learning by means of Google classroom is an effective method to develop English learners’ pragmatic competence.

Developing Pre-service Elementary Science Teachers’ Science Teaching Efficacy Beliefs through Microteaching by Promoting Efficacy Sources
Authors: Kartal Tezcan , Dilek Irem
Published: October 2021

Science teaching efficacy belief (STEB) is of paramount importance as it motivates teachers to teach science or hinders them from teaching science. Pre-service teachers' efficacy beliefs may change during their method courses. Knowing how pre-service teachers' beliefs change over time can significantly contribute to teacher educators to improve teacher efficacy. This study examined the effect of microteaching on pre-service elementary science teachers' STEB. Pretest-posttest control group design was utilized. Data was collected using the Science Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument (STEBI-B) developed by Enochs and Riggs (1990) both at the beginning and end of the study. The treatment group planned and taught mini-lessons. The lessons were videotaped and evaluated in detail by watching the videotapes. The microteachers replanned and retaught the mini-lessons based on the feedback. The microteaching practices were conducted to support efficacy sources. The control group only planned and taught mini-lessons and received brief and undetailed feedback. Results showed significant differences in participants' personal science teaching efficacy beliefs and student outcome expectancy beliefs in terms of the treatment group. The STEB scores of the control group also decreased at the end of the study. It is suggested that pre-service teachers should have the opportunity to reflect on their performances, artifacts, or lesson plans and to design them several times.

Enacting Number Talks in a Simulated Classroom Environment: What Do Preservice Teachers Notice About Students?
Authors: Woods Dawn M.
Published: October 2021

Number talks are short mathematical discussions offering sensemaking opportunities for students. Aside from bolstering students’ mathematical learning, this instructional routine may also support preservice teachers (PSTs) in investigating how to facilitate discussion-focused instruction. In this study, PSTs engage in a learning cycle to explore, plan and rehearse two separate number talks during human-in-the-loop simulations, and then reflect on these experiences. During the first simulation, PSTs focus on understanding the routine’s components while positioning avatar-students as sensemakers as they elicit their participation. In the second simulation, PSTs build their instructional skills as they record representations of students’ mathematical thinking, probe students’ thinking in order to make mathematics visible, as well as notice missed opportunities to support students’ mathematical reasoning during reflections of their experiences. Implications of this study suggest that simulations, when embedded within a cycle of enactment and reflection, support PSTs in developing professional noticing skills.

Authors: Arabacioglu Sertac , Okulu Hasan Zuhtu
Published: October 2021

Virtual solutions of museums can be notably used to promote distance learning activities by providing information about their collections. However, the effective use of this potential depends mainly on the exact alignment of the learning activities with the educational goals. For this purpose, this study focuses on the analysis of pre-service teachers’ activity designs based on virtual museum visits for out-of-school learning environments. Within the scope of the case study design, 40 activity plans developed by pre-service teachers for elementary mathematics, science, and classroom teaching were examined. The activity designs for selected virtual museums emerged as a result of a semester program. The research findings indicated that the activities emphasized the strategies of supporting learning outcomes, the guidance process for students in the virtual museum environment, and the engagement of the student with the virtual environment. Based on this, the study revealed that using virtual museums as a teaching tool for pre-service teachers supports teachers’ knowledge and skills of the activity design.

Published: October 2021

The efficiency of the educational process is dependent on rigorous pedagogical design, the choice and use of the most appropriate teaching-learning strategies and the application of a correct evaluation system. In this article we presented the epistem of the evaluation, demonstrating that this represents an essential moment in the teaching process, being an important factor in the proper functioning of the educational process. Evaluation is necessary at the beginning of the teaching activity, during it, but also at the end, as it allows to identify the difficulties encountered by the students in learning and to determine the level of preparation of the pupils in the discipline taught, compared to the expectations of the teacher and the requirements of the curriculum.

APPLICATION OF CLOVE ESSENTIAL OIL FOR CORRECTION OF SHIFTS IN HEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS IN STUDENTS INDUCED BY CYCLE ERGOMETER EXERCISE
Authors: Gevorkyan E.S. , Ghukasyan L.E.
Published: October 2021

Shifts in some cardiac hemodynamic parameters were studied in students during a 15-minute cycle ergometer load attended with cold inhalation of clove essential oil. It is shown that the use of essential oil of cloves contributes to the alignment of shifts in the level of functional indicators of students, by increasing the adaptive capacity of the organism. Essential oil of cloves causes a decrease of “physiological cost” of physical activity performed by students by strengthening the economization processes of functional systems activity. Curing an increase in the sympathetic effects on the body, induced by physical activity, the oil of cloves contributes to the rapid restoration of the functional state of the body in the nearest post-load period. As a control, indicators of the functional state and cardiac hemodynamics of students who, during bicycle ergometer load, were not subjected to the corrective influence of the essential oil of cloves, were used.

Published: October 2021

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar os impactos sociais de um grande açude no semiárido brasileiro, segundo a população deslocada da área urbana como rural. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, abertas a 371 famílias, representando quase 10.400 famílias que moravam no novo município de Jaguaribara. Os resultados mostraram que os reassentados não estavam satisfeitos com suas novas condições de vida, apesar do seu contentamento com as suas novas casas, com o abastecimento de água e com o fornecimento de alimentos. Apesar da melhoria da infra-estrutura, os reassentados avaliaram mal os Sistemas de saneamento, de saúde e de educação, bem como a política de trabalho e renda. O governo investiu consideravelmente na infraestrutura, mas não em sua operação e manutenção, nem em pessoal qualificado, isso indicou que o foco dos investimentos foi principalmente a transferência de capital para a indústria da construção e não a prestação de bons serviços para os reassentados. A construção do açude Castanhão não proporcionou um padrão de vida melhor para os reassentados, o que sugeriu que a escassez de água pode ser uma das razões, mas certamente não foi a principal causa dos obstáculos ao desenvolvimento na região semiárida brasileira.

Authors: Teixeira Raquel Neris , Campos Robério Telmo
Published: October 2021

O trabalho teve como objetivo aferir a capacidade de recuperação da agricultura familiar a partir das culturas mais praticadas (milho e feijão) no Sertão dos Inhamuns em resposta ao estresse provocado pela instabilidade hídrica entre os anos de 1977 e 2013. Avaliou-se a evolução do valor da produção, as áreas colhidas e os rendimentos dessas culturas. Para estimar esse índice de resiliência, utiliza-se o método de decomposição em componentes principais da análise fatorial objetivando encontrar os pesos associados aos indicadores empregados na formatação do índice. Os resultados mostraram a grande instabilidade das culturas que, inclusive, supera a instabilidade do regime pluviométrico, isso porque além de essa irregularidade climática, há problemas associados ao atraso tecnológico, que não foi objeto do estudo, e à flutuação dos preços demonstrada na pesquisa.
Mercado de pera no Brasil: análise de transmissão de preços entre os mercados de São Paulo-SP, Porto Alegre-RS e Recife-PE

Published: October 2021

Objetiva analisar as transmissões de preços entre o mercado da pera no Brasil. Especificamente, os mercados escolhidos foram Porto Alegre-RS, São Paulo-SP e Recife-PE, sendo as séries de periodicidade mensal no período de junho de 2009 a dezembro de 2015. O teste de causalidade de Granger mostrou que o mercado de São Paulo causa os demais, porém o inverso não é verdadeiro. O teste de cointegração de Johansen mostrou que a matriz de interesse tem posto completo , o que indica que as colunas da matriz são linearmente independentes e, assim, não é necessário estimar um VEC, e sim, um VAR em nível. A elasticidade de transmissão de preços conforme o modelo VAR estimado mostra que o aumento de preço em São Paulo é repassado em maior magnitude para Porto Alegre do que para o Recife. O aumento de 10% do preço da pera no período , ceteris paribus, fará com que Porto Alegre e Recife aumentem em 3,5% e 1,7%, respectivamente, no período . A decomposição de variância confirma o que o teste de causalidade de Granger mostrou, ou seja, que o mercado de São Paulo é o mercado central e é este que determina os preços, enquanto os outros são tomadores de preços.

Authors:   Ibn Zohr University, Morocco, HAMMOU Yassine AIT
Published: October 2021

The present study explored the most frequently used ICT tools for teaching language skills and components in Moroccan secondary school EFL classrooms. This study adopted a mixed-method approach of investigation wherein two instruments were used to collect data: a survey questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. A total number of 80 Moroccan secondary school EFL teachers participated in this study and were selected using convenience sampling. Eight teachers were selected for the interviews through reputational and purposive sampling. Collected data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings revealed that teaching speaking and listening skills received high use of ICT compared to teaching language components and reading and writing which integrated medium and low ICT use, respectively. Findings also showed that computers, laptops, and projectors are the most preferred ICT tools among EFL teachers. This study concluded that teachers’ ICT tools preference seems to have an impact on their ICT use frequency. The latter is also influenced by other factors such the availability/unavailability of ICT equipment/facilities in the schools and training/lack of training on the use of ICT in instruction. A number of recommendations are presented regarding a successful integration of ICT in EFL language teaching in the Moroccan secondary school contexts.
