Features of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community associated with annual ragweed
Authors: Sokornova* S. V. , Malygin D. M.
Published: November 2024

Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a highly harmful invasive plant of North American origin, belonging to the tribe Heliantheae of the subfamily Asteroideae. One of the factors influencing the competitive ability of invasive Asteraceae species includes mutualistic relationships with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. There is a hypothesis that the effectiveness of this symbiosis is influenced by the phylogenetic position and the origin of species. The aim of our work was to identify the characteristics of the AM-fungi community associated with annual ragweed. It was shown that the community is less diverse than closely related species from the tribe Astereae. The major difference is that the AM-community contains only widespread species of the order Glomerales, such as Glomus spp. and Funneliformis mosseae. It is possible that other factors have a greater influence on the A. artemisiifolia competition.

Published: November 2024

The rapid development of inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials like carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) with epoxy matrices necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for safe use. This approach should integrate computational modeling and experimental testing across various scales, such as microscopic (<1 mm³), miniature (<10 mm³), and larger engineering samples. Mechanical testing machines must be specifically designed and optimized for each scale, combined with microscopy to observe the response under tension, bending, and compression. This setup enables real-time imaging of defect and crack initiation. Key challenges in miniature sample testing include microscope stage limitations, focusing geometry, force and displacement resolution, and fast data acquisition. The study reported here presents the customization of a 1 kN universal testing machine for in situ testing of miniature CFRP samples in combination with digital light microscopy. The observations made in the course of the present study provide valuable insight into the practical realization of miniature sample mechanical testing. Of particular note is the strain mapping capability across the sample surface afforded by the use of Digital Image Correlation.
Quantum-Inspired Stochastic Modeling and Regularity in Turbulent Fluid Dynamics
Authors: dos Santos Rômulo Damasclin Chaves , Sales Jorge Henrique de Oliveira , Silva Erickson F. M. S.
Published: November 2024

This paper presents an innovative framework for analyzing the regularity of solutions to the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations by integrating Sobolev-Besov hybrid spaces with fractional operators and quantum-inspired dynamics. We propose new regularity theorems that address the multiscale and chaotic nature of fluid flows, offering novel insights into energy dissipation mechanisms. The introduction of a Schrödinger-like operator into the fluid dynamics model captures quantum-scale turbulence effects, enhancing our understanding of energy redistribution across different scales. The results also include the development of anisotropic stochastic models that account for direction-dependent viscosity, improving the representation of real-world turbulent flows. These advances in stochastic modeling and regularity analysis provide a comprehensive toolset for tackling complex fluid dynamics problems. The findings are applicable to fields such as engineering, quantum turbulence, and environmental sciences. Future directions include the numerical implementation of the proposed models and the use of machine learning techniques to optimize parameters for enhanced simulation accuracy.
Modelling Skeletal Muscle Motor Unit Recruitment Contributions to Contractile Function: Part 3 - Substrate Oxidation of Phosphagen, Lipid, and Carbohydrate Metabolism

Published: November 2024

This study aimed to apply and expand a prior model of motor unit recruitment of the vastus lateralis muscle (VL) to explore theoretical motor unit-specific substrate oxidation. The model utilized repeated contractions of varied frequency and fraction of motor unit recruitment, and four different genetic expressions of motor unit proportions. The study applied prior modelled data of the vastus lateralis (VL) motor unit contractile power and turnover of adenosine triphosphate (ATPto) based on non-linear functions of estimated percentage contributions of different energy systems across various muscle fibre types and contraction frequencies. Using LabVIEW™ programming, the model then used the prior data of ATPto and known ATPto coefficients for substrate oxidation for the energy systems of phosphagen, glycolytic, and mitochondrial respiration from fatty acid and carbohydrate to calculate total and fibre type (motor unit) specific creatine phosphate catabolism, glycogenolysis, glycolytic glucose oxidation, fatty acid oxidation in mitochondrial respiration, glucose oxidation in mitochondrial respiration, and lactate production. Results revealed that for the phosphagen system, substrate turnover was far larger than research-based expressions of decreasing concentrations of creatine phosphate and ATP. This is to be expected for modelled research involving temporal summation of metabolism. Creatine phosphate is continually broken down and partially replenished during low intensity exercise, with such partial replenishment sustained during more intense exercise thanks to the creatine kinase shuttle. For carbohydrate oxidation, mitochondrial respiration accounted for greatest substrate oxidation in type I, and I-IIa motor units, where glycolysis accounted for most substrate oxidation in type IIa, IIab and IIb motor units. Fatty acid oxidation was larger for lower motor unit recruitment conditions, and highest for type I-IIa and IIa motor units. This result is logical based on the larger net muscle fibre recruitment for contraction conditions necessitating progression to fast twitch motor units causing higher substrate oxidation. Such findings reinforce the need for more research on fibre type specific substrate oxidation during different exercise intensities and durations.

Published: November 2024

Eyelid shape is integral to identity and likeness in human facial modeling. Human eyelids are diverse in appearance with varied skin fold and epicanthal fold morphology between individuals. Existing parametric face models express eyelid shape variation to an extent, but do not preserve sufficient likeness across a diverse range of individuals. We propose a new definition of eyelid fold consistency and implement geometric processing techniques to model diverse eyelid shapes in a unified topology. Using this method we reprocess data used to train a parametric face model and demonstrate significant improvements in face-related machine learning tasks.

Published: November 2024

Geometric constructions are widely used in computer graphics and engineering drawing. A right generalized cylinder is a ruled surface whose base curve is a plane curve perpendicular to the rulings. The paper discusses relations between the base curve and the non-planar space curve on the right generalized cylinder. Based on these relations, a method for obtaining a new space curve from a given plane curve parameterized about an arbitrary parameter is presented. At first, we define a non-planar space curve on the right generalized cylinder whose base curve is the considered plane curve, parameterized about an arbitrary parameter. Later on, we examine the focal curve of the obtained cylindrical curve which is also a non-planar curve. The Frenet-Seret system of the cylindrical curve and its focal curve are expressed in terms of the signed curvature of the abovementioned plane curve and its derivatives. Finally, we obtained the parametric representation of orthogonal projection of the focal curve onto the Euclidean plane via before mentioned plane curve and its derivatives. That curve is called generalized focal curve of a plane curve. The proposed method is demonstrated for several closed plane curves used in engineering practice. These curves include: epicycloid, hypocycloid and a curve that is orthogonal projection of toroidal helix onto the Euclidean plane.

Recently, many university students have utilized LinkedIn to their advantage and launched their professional careers. This research attempts to ascertain the relationship between university students’ attitudes, intentions, self-efficacy (independent variables), and outcome expectation (dependent variable). There were 157 respondents in the sample, but only 144 replies were valid. An online survey was used to obtain the data for this cross-sectional research. The survey data were calculated and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Results show that self-efficacy and intention significantly influence outcome expectations. Specifically, self-efficacy had a strong positive effect (β = 0.503, p < 0.001), while intention also positively impacted outcome expectations (β = 0.316, p < 0.001). However, students' attitudes toward LinkedIn did not significantly affect outcome expectations (β = 0.141, p > 0.05), leading to the rejection of the hypothesis regarding attitude. These findings indicate that students' confidence in their abilities and their purposeful engagement with LinkedIn are more influential in shaping positive outcomes than their general attitudes toward the platform. To improve student outcomes, universities, and career services should focus on developing students' self-efficacy and LinkedIn skills

The home industry is crucial for regional economic growth by producing quality local products, requiring local governments to support its development through effective regulations. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of government policies in marketing home industry products in Bumiharjo Village and to identify internal and external factors that impact product distribution, while evaluating regional support initiatives like the Join Marketing Center (JMC) and promotional efforts. This study employs a qualitative method with an inductive approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, display, and verification techniques. The findings indicate that the current marketing policy for home industry products in Bumiharjo Village remains suboptimal due to the lack of official regulations. Key obstacles include unformalized marketing policies for home industry products and limited production capabilities due to inadequate equipment and capital. The Regional Government has made efforts to address these challenges by establishing the JMC, promoting products through regional exhibitions, and endorsing them on official social media channels managed by the Regent and Deputy Regent of Way Kanan. These initiatives highlight the need for formalized policies and increased support to enhance the marketing and distribution of local products

Detection of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli Virulence Factors’ fimH and fliC H7 in Urinary Tract Infections and Their Association with Antibiotics Resistance among Sudanese Children
Authors: Olla M. Siedahmed Osman  , Ahmed Osman  , Hind Mohamed Abushama
Published: November 2024

Background
UTIs are one of the most common pathological conditions in both community and hospital settings. A broad spectrum of pathogens causes UTIs, it has been estimated that about 80% to 90% of cases worldwide develop UTI each year. However, the most frequent agent of community-acquired UTI is Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), Some of UPEC genes have been associated with disease and antibiotic resistance. The presence of multidrug-resistant UPEC harboring several virulence factors, is a major risk factor for inpatients. This study aimed to detect the presence of virulence factors; fimH and fliC H7 genes and their possible association with antibiotic resistance, to evaluate the relation between virulence factors and antibiotic resistance among UPEC isolated from Sudanese symptomatic children’s patients with UTI, in Khartoum State- Sudan.
 Methods
Sixty-six urine samples from study participants with symptomatic UTIs have been identified by clinician from two hospitals as UPEC using the conventional microbiological tests. All the isolates were subjected to antimicrobial sensitivity test using disk diffusion and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to identify the presence of two putative virulence factors; fimH and fliC H7, and their association with antimicrobial resistance.
Results
Our results have shown that Amoxcacillin (penicillin group) was consistently the most resistance active (90.9%) of the systemically active antimicrobials, followed by Sulfamethoxazole (89.4%). On the other hand, sensitivity to nitrofurantoin (nitrofuran) was found to be the highest (89.4%). FimH gene has the highest prevalence among E. coli isolates (63.6%), followed by fliC gene (53.0%). A statistically significant association was found between the presence of fimH gene and resistance of E. coli to Polynaphethol with Chi-square p-value = 0.016 and odds ratio =5.353. Another significant association was found with resistance of E. coli to Chloramphenicol (Chi-Square p-value = 0.038, odds ratio = 3.103) and presence of fimH gene, also there was a significant association between the presence of fliC H7 gene and resistance of E. coli to Cephalexin with a (Chi-Square p-value = 0.001 and odds ratio = 5.869) 
Conclusions
The study highlighted the prevalence of UPEC isolates which harbored the virulence factors and their association with antibiotic resistance which possibly cause the urine disease. The outcome of the study may represent targets for improving the regimen used and therapeutics against UPEC in Sudan.
The impact of co-curricular activities on youth development: a self-determination theory perspective
Authors:   , Guo Qinxian
Published: November 2024

Participation in Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) has been recognised as a vital avenue for students’ holistic developments and acquisition of 21st century competencies. However, there is a lack of research in Singapore and Southeast Asia region that comprehensively and systematically assessed the effect of CCA participation on students’ development. To address these limitations, this research involved a large-scale survey that garnered students’ responses in 14 schools at various secondary school levels across two time points (i.e., with an interval of 9 months). The study examined the relationship between secondary school students’ CCA participation and desired CCA academic and non-academic outcomes based on a self-determination theory (SDT) perspective. Drawing on SDT and also CCA-related conceptual frameworks like youth development and ecological system, the study was based on a substantive-methodological synergy that harnessed the robustness of structural equation modelling (i.e., path analysis) in accounting for variance of covariates and multiple factors across time points to determine the effect of respective CCA participation factors on a range of academic and non-academic outcomes. This research assessed students’ development in CCA setting in the contexts of their interaction with parents, CCA-instructors, and CCA peers. Specifically, it adopted a nuanced approach in assessing the effect of: (1) type and quantitative indicators of CCA participation, (2) quality of CCA participation (student’s motivational orientations), (3) interpersonal context of CCA participation. Of interest, it examined the role of students’ motivational orientations in mediating the relationships between students’ CCA participation and academic and non-academic outcomes. Parallel supplementary analyses were done to assess the incremental value of students’ motivation over CCA participation factors. Consistent with SDT, the findings established the mediational role of students’ CCA motivational orientation (i.e., autonomous motivation). It also highlighted the key role of students’ motivation and supportive interpersonal relationships in fostering students’ academic and non-academic development. Thus, it revealed that the quality and interpersonal context of CCA participation had a more crucial role than the CCA type and quantity of CCA participation in promoting students’ academic and non-academic development. It also attested to the value of CCA participation as an intervention and a key aspect of school curriculum that could foster students’ holistic development. Collectively, this research provides valuable insight for optimising students’ development through CCA participation.

Yirminci yüzyılın başlarında dünyaya gelen İffet Halim Oruz, edebiyat tarihlerinde dikkate alınmamış kadın şairlerdendir. Modern kadın tipinin genç Türkiye’de kök salması için çalışan İffet Halim, erkek iktidarıyla kimi zaman anlaşamasa da şiirleriyle, yazılarıyla, sivil toplum örgütlerindeki faaliyetleriyle Türk kadınının sosyal haklarını kazanım mücadelesinde etkili bir isim olmuştur. İffet Halim’in Atatürk Devri’ndeki siyasi-sosyal hadiseler ve ciddi değişimlerle hem şahsi hayatı hem de şiirleri etkilenmiştir. Yeni Türk devleti, yirminci yüzyılın değişen siyasi ve iktisadi şartlarına uyum sağlama sürecinde halkı, ulusçu ve sınıfsız, organik bir bütün olarak görmüştür. Bu siyasi ve iktisadi anlayış; devrin siyasi ve sosyal hayatına tesir ettiği gibi sanat anlayışını ve Türk kadınının toplumdaki konumunu da etkilemiştir. Edebiyat tarihlerinde, antolojilerde kendine pek yer verilmeyen İffet Halim; şiirleri, şahsi hayatı ve devrin siyasi-sosyal özellikleri beraber değerlendirildiğinde ortaya bir Cumhuriyet kadın şairinin portresi çıkar. Hiçbir çalışmada feminist çerçeve dâhilinde şahsiyeti ve edebî kişiliği incelenmeyen şairin eserleri bu doğrultuda değerlendirilerek ve adının geçtiği kimi çalışmalarda biyografisinde yapılan hatalar düzeltilerek edebiyat tarihine bir katkı sunulmuştur.

Ziya Gökalp’in Kültür Değişmesi Modeli ve Günümüz Türkiye’sindeki İzdüşümleri
Authors: Bayhan Vehbi
Published: November 2024

Türk sosyolojisinin kurucusu olan Ziya Gökalp’in analizleri günümüzde geçerliliğini korumaktadır. Gökalp, bir bunalım çağında doğmuş ve yetişmiştir. Küresel imparatorluk olan Osmanlı’nın içinde bulunduğu sorunlardan kurtulması için ortaya çıkan fikir akımlarından Türkçülük akımının temsilcisidir. Gökalp kültürün milli, medeniyetin milletlerarası olduğunu söyler. Batı medeniyetinin teknolojisini alarak modernleşebileceğimizi, ancak kültürümüzü muhafaza etmemiz gerektiğini savunur. Bu görüşü hem Türkçülük, hem de İslamcılık fikir akımı kabul eder. Garpçılık ise batı medeniyetine erişmek için batının hem kültürünü hem de medeniyetini almak gerektiğini iddia eder. Türk modernleşmesi ve çağdaşlaşmasını anlamak için Gökalp’in fikirleri önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, Gökalp’in kültür ve medeniyet ayrımına dayalı kültür değişmesi modeli günümüzde de günceldir. Küreselleşme ve postmodernizm tartışmaları Gökalp’in kültür değişmesi modeli çerçevesinde irdelenebilir. Postmodenizm, geleneksel kültür ile modern kültürün bir sentezini içermektedir. Küreselleşme de yerel kültür ile küresel kültürün karşılaşması ve yeni sentezler üretmektedir. Küyerel kültür bağlamında, küresel kültür ile yerel kültürün birlikte var alabileceği görülmektedir. Gökalp, Türklerin kültür değişmesi sürecinde İslamiyetle karşılaştıklarında kendi özgün kültürünü oluşturduğunu söyler. Gerçekten de “Türk Müslümanlığı” bu görüşün somut göstergesidir. Batı ile karşılaşmada da Türk kültürünü koruyarak modernleştiğimizin göstergesi Avrupadaki “EuroTürk” sentezidir. Bu kültürel karşılaşmalarda başarısız olunduğunda “paranoid-şizoid toplum”a dönüşme ihtimali de bulunmaktadır. Kültürel değişmede şizofrenik parçalanmalar ve kutuplaşmalar ortaya çıkabilir. Günümüzde Türkiye’de halen modern-geleneksel, batılı-doğulu, laik-İslamcı vb. ayrımlaşmalar ve fay hatları güncelliğini korumaktadır. Bu değişkenlerin birbiriyle çatışmasının çözümü Ziya Gökalp’in mottosunda bulunmaktadır. “Türk milletindenim, İslam ümmetindenim ve Batı medeniyetindenim”.

Neste estudo, foram manipuladas dimensões do reforço (taxa, atraso e qualidade) e da resposta (cus-to da resposta) em um procedimento de treino de autocontrole com atraso progressivo do reforço. Oito participantes foram expostos a esquemas de reforçamento concorrentes, ao longo de 4 etapas: avaliação do nível de dificuldade da tarefa, linha de base, treino ou manutenção e avaliação de per-manência. Os resultados indicaram que quando em condições com manipulação de duas dimensões apenas, as respostas foram controladas principalmente pela qualidade (6 participantes). A taxa e o custo da resposta controlaram prioritariamente para um participante cada. Quatro participantes emi-tiram respostas impulsivas no começo do procedimento e foram expostos ao treino, enquanto os outros, que não apresentaram impulsividade, foram expostos ao procedimento de manutenção. Ao final do treino, o primeiro grupo apresentou autocontrole. Na fase de avaliação de permanência todos os participantes foram expostos às condições com manipulação entre o atraso e as duas dimensões não manipuladas no treino/manutenção. Quatro participantes apresentaram comportamento impulsi-vo quando o atraso competiu com custo da resposta, mas não com qualidade ou taxa. De modo geral, os resultados indicam que a estabilidade do autocontrole foi condicional a dimensões específicas do reforço ou da resposta.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivos investigar a transposição entre as funções de ouvinte e fa-lante em universitários durante a aquisição de novas palavras e o efeito de treinos sucessivos sobre a transposição dessas funções. Foram realizados dois experimentos, sendo que o primeiro verificou se universitários apresentaram a transposição entre as funções de ouvinte e falante. O segundo expe-rimento verificou se a quantidade de treinos sucessivos produziria efeitos sobre a transposição entre os mesmos repertórios. Em ambos experimentos, os universitários inicialmente não apresentaram a função de falante testada após o treino da função de ouvinte, o que está de acordo com a literatura com participantes com desenvolvimento atípico e crianças. Foi observado o efeito de treinos sucessivos sobre a transposição em alguns participantes de ambos os experimentos, principalmente no Experi-mento 2. Os resultados sugerem que a transposição entre repertórios de falante e ouvinte em adultos depende de fatores ambientais, dentre eles, os treinos sucessivos.

Metacontingência é a unidade de análise no nível cultural proposta em analogia à tríplice contin-gência. Até o momento, as pesquisas experimentais investigaram o equivalente à relação resposta-reforçador da contingência operante. No presente estudo, as seguintes perguntas foram feitas: (1) Uma condição de estímulo antecedente análoga ao SD assumiria função evocativa sobre contingências comportamentais entrelaçadas e seu produto agregado? (2) Quais seriam os efeitos de alternar duas condições de estímulo antecedentes, sendo cada uma delas correlacionada a uma metacontingência específica?Participaram 15 universitários, totalizando 12 gerações (3 participantes em cada). O estu-do utilizou um procedimento de tentativas discretas no qual um a três participantes (P) trabalhavam simultaneamente. Duas metacontingências foram programadas. Na Metacontingência 1, a condição antecedente era a cor da tela era azul (SM1) e se ∑P1 ‹ ∑P2 ‹ ∑P3, os participantes recebiam bônus. Na Metacontingência 2, a condição antecedente era a tela de fundo vermelho (SM2) e os participantes produziam bônus se ∑P1 › ∑P2 › ∑P3. Os resultados indicaram que estímulos SM1 e SM2 adquiriram função evocativa nas metacontingências correspondentes. Os dados são discutidos em termos de uma analogia entre contingência operante e metacontingência.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access in WiMAX and LTE: A Comparison
Authors: Srikanth S. , Pandian Murugesa , Fernando Xavier
Published: November 2024

Orthogonal frequency-division multiple access has been adopted by both the WiMAX and Long Term Evolution standards, which are the two main contenders in the 4G wireless scenario. In this article, we do a detailed comparison of the implementation of OFDMA in LTE and WiMAX. The multiuser diversity advantage of OFDMA is well used in LTE, whereas the frequency diversity advantage is nicely exploited in WiMAX. The physical layer overhead in LTE is significantly better than in WiMAX. The network entry process of an LTE mobile is simpler than in a WiMAX mobile. In addition, LTE systems are expected to react faster to changes in the traffic and channel conditions due to the smaller frame times. However, the OFDMA design in WiMAX will cater for more extreme channel conditions, which is perhaps more than what is expected in practice as our investigation reveals. 
Education: A Viewpoint and Some Observations

In her work The Professor, which was released following her death in 1857, Charlotte Brontë described her school life in Brussels. Many students experience similar circumstances, which can have a variety of causes and differ depending on the location and setting. These causes may have their roots in social, behavioral, religious, political, ideological, or other domains. In this section, I'll go over a few of the experiences I had while attending different school levels.
Generative AI as an Enabler of Sustainable Education: Theoretical Perspectives and Future Directions
Authors: Baskara FX. Risang
Published: November 2024

This theoretical research paper explores Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in sustainable education within the digital era. Through a comprehensive literature review of peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, and policy documents in sustainable education, AI in education, and learning theories, we propose a novel conceptual framework: Generative AI-Enabled Sustainable Education (GAISE). This framework synthesises principles from sustainable education theories, AI in education, constructivism, connectivism, and transformative learning. The GAISE model elucidates how Generative AI's capabilities in content generation, personalisation, adaptive learning, and natural language processing can enhance sustainability literacy and promote transformative learning experiences. Our analysis reveals the framework's potential to integrate Generative AI into curriculum design, teaching methodologies, assessment strategies, and teacher professional development for sustainable education. Critical ethical considerations include data privacy, equity, and human-AI collaboration in educational contexts. The paper identifies key challenges in implementing Generative AI for sustainable education and proposes future empirical research directions and policy recommendations. This work contributes to the intersection of AI and sustainable education, offering theoretical insights and practical pathways for educators and policymakers to leverage Generative AI in promoting sustainability competencies in education.
Research on the Deep Integration of CDIO and Maker Education to Promote the Cultivation of Innovative Talents in Emerging Engineering Disciplines
Authors: Decheng Zhang  , Jinxin Chen
Published: November 2024

"First-class practical projects" constitute one of the four fundamental elements of the Undergraduate Education Teaching Reform Pilot Work Plan (Plan 101), aiming to cultivate future "revolutionary" and "disruptive" talents in emerging engineering disciplines. Both CDIO engineering education and maker education are committed to nurturing students' innovative and practical abilities, serving as robust pillars for the cultivation of talents in emerging engineering fields. Based on a review of relevant literature on CDIO engineering education and maker education from both domestic and international sources, this paper analyzes the differences between the two in terms of educational philosophy, curriculum system and content, teaching faculty, teaching resources, teaching methodologies, and evaluation methods. It proposes the concept of deeply integrating CDIO with maker education, outlining methods for such integration: constructing a curriculum system that merges CDIO with maker education, compiling textbooks for an engineering practice system that incorporates maker projects within the CDIO framework, establishing a makerspace through school-enterprise collaboration that integrates engineering practice with maker activities, building a practical teaching model that fuses CDIO with maker education, formulating a diversified evaluation scale that combines qualitative and quantitative assessments, and organizing competition activities that integrate CDIO with maker education. Furthermore, a comprehensive practical case study of the deep integration of CDIO and maker education is provided.

The role of government in financing education is crucial for fostering an educated citizenry that can drive economic growth. This study investigates the relationship between public spending on education and economic growth in selected Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, highlighting the contentious nature of this relationship in academic discourse. Despite increasing government expenditure on education, challenges such as insufficient infrastructure and outdated pedagogical methods persist, affecting productivity and economic growth. This study employs the Granger causality test and Generalized Method of Moments to analyze the relationship between government expenditure on education and economic growth in SADC countries. The analysis utilizes secondary data from various sources, focusing on the period from 1999 to 2017. The correlation coefficient between educational expenditure and economic growth among selected SADC countries is 0.46, indicating a weak positive relationship. However, the Granger causality test reveals no significant causal relationship between government expenditure on education and economic growth, contradicting findings from other regions. The study concludes that there is no causal link between public spending on education and economic growth suggesting that current educational policies may not align with growth imperatives. It recommends that governments tailor educational curricula to enhance human capital development to improve economic outcomes.
“Knowing Who We Are... It’s One of the Most Important Things”

Indigenous identity is an important aspect of health. For Anishinaabeg, identity contributes to Mino-Bimaadiziwin (the Good Life), which involves individuals becoming their fullest selves supported by their holistic wellness (i.e. mind, body, spirit, heart), in relationship to people, place, and all our relatives. However, Algonquin identity has been deeply impacted by over 400 years of settler colonialism. Colonialism has disrupted Algonquin people’s connections to land, as well as their kinships, cultures, and communities – all of which inform Algonquin identity. Further, domestic law and policy have altered definitions of Indigeneity in Canada and imposed racist and heteropatriarchal structures that oppress and threaten Indigenous women and gender-diverse people in particular. Indigenous storytelling has been a way for Indigenous peoples to combat colonial narratives imposed upon them. It is a method of truth-telling – an opportunity to honour and uplift Indigenous experience. Therefore, this project utilizes storytelling through the conversational method to explore Algonquin identity among 13 Algonquin women and gender-diverse people from Mattawa and North Bay, Ontario. Results demonstrate diverse, complex histories of displacement and cultural resurgence, and explore embodiments of gender, sexuality, and Indigeneity that are actively being lived out while firmly rooted in a shared history. More Algonquin stories are need to further explore identity as an important component of Mino-Bimaadiziwin.
