Published: May 2020

Aims: Gebel Elba is an arid mountain range supporting biological diversity that is incomparable to any other region of Egypt. This mountain has a vegetation structure and floristic community similar to the highlands of East Africa and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. We aimed to provide the first classification of the vegetation units on Gebel Elba and identify the environmental factors controlling their distribution. Study area: Wadi Yahmib and its tributaries, which drain the north-western slopes of Gebel Elba, south-eastern Egypt. Methods: On the basis of 169 relevés, we used TWINSPAN to classify the perennial vegetation. We calculated separate GAMs for the deciduous and evergreen species to describe the patterns for each leaf strategy type with elevation. We used CCA to quantify the relationship between the perennial vegetation and the studied environmental factors. To estimate diversity and our sampling strategy, we used rarefaction curves for species richness. Results: We identified seven communities along the elevational gradient of Wadi Yahmib and its tributaries. We found that each community was restricted to a confined habitat depending on its drought resistance ability. Deciduous Vachellia woodland was the main vegetation type on Gebel Elba, while evergreen Olea woodland appeared in small fragments at higher elevations. We analysed the distribution patterns of deciduous and evergreen trees along the elevational gradient. We found a turnover at 500 m, indicating a potential ecotone between the Vachellia and Olea woodlands that was occupied by a Ficus community. CCA revealed the importance of altitude and soil quality in determining the vegetation structure of Gebel Elba. The species richness increased with elevation as a result of reduced stress and increased water availability at the upper wadis. Conclusions: This study identified seven vegetation units in the study area and showed the importance of orographic precipitation, soil quality and the complex topography in determining the habitats.

Rewriting Teacher Education: Food, Love, and Community
Authors: Grewal Imandeep K , Maher Amanda , Watters Hanna , Clemens Donacal , Webb Kaitlyn 
Published: May 2020

In this article, we present the intertwining stories of a teacher education learning community who are (re) writing the current dehumanizing narrative of standardization, crisis mongering, and survival of the fittest ethos that continue to harm our learners, teachers, and communities. We argue that when teacher education candidates are repositioned from consumers of theory and methods to inquirers of practice, their collectively constructed knowledge not only illuminates locally significant issues but also disrupts institutional hierarchies. Drawing from narrative inquiry theory and a collaborative methodical approach, we—a professor and students—share our personal stories of learning together in a required teacher education course and practicum placement at a local high school. Bringing together conceptions of voice, human capability, and “place”, we provide a layered framework to understand pedagogical practices that operate to unravel systems of standardization and hyper-individualism. Our inquiry approach, public narration, and our democratization of knowledge serve as an example of teacher education pedagogy with a disruptive agenda.
Disability and Higher Education in Palestine
Authors: Snounu Yasmin 
Published: May 2020

Disability in Palestine and the experiences and practices of professors and administrators on accommodating disabled students in Palestinian higher education institutions are captured through critical ethnography mode. Disability in Palestine is discussed within the context of what I, as the researcher, call “segregating democracy.” The term segregating democracy refers to the political bonds between Israel and the United States of America that often lead to exclusion of the indigenous Palestinian community from the rest of the world. Segregating democracy and its consequences on disability in Palestine are the context in which the experiences of the Palestinian faculty and administrators are analyzed. Using critical disability studies, while also drawing from elements of teacher development theories, this paper identifies transformational ways of thinking about disability as well as the unique role of educators in promoting/adopting inclusive pedagogical practices towards accommodating disabled students in higher education.

How to understand the time we are living through
Authors: Larsson Allan 
Published: May 2020

The article seeks to understand the long wave of neoliberal economic policies over the last thirty years and its impact on social conditions and the political situation in the West. The financial crisis of 2007-8 marks the end of this long wave, when some of the basic theories imploded, particularly the financial deregulation and the trickle down theories. The end of this wave opened an “empty room”, a period without direction and destiny. Governments and political leaders have been stuck in “unfettered globalization” and austerity policies, unprepared to present new policies for widely shared prosperity. The insecurity and the growing inequalities have been exploited by political forces inside and outside the leading political parties, offering simple solutions in the form of building walls and “taking back control”. Thus, in the absence of a strong progressive policy response from the established parties, the “empty room” has become “an explosive empty room” of neo-nationalism and regressive policies. While our societies have moved to the right in terms of economic and social policy, they have moved left in terms of values such as gender equality and individual rights. A combination of economic stagnation and social decline, “insecurity in times of change”, and progress in civil rights and gender equality, has triggered the kind of political and populist revolts that we now see in the US and in many parts of Europe, exploited by conservatives and far-right parties. This can be described as “discontent of declining expectations”. Democracy and democratic institutions are at risk.
Literacy i språkfagene: kunnskaper, ferdigheter og vurdering
Authors: Langseth Inger 
Published: May 2020

This article discusses reading and writing in a foreign language (English, French, Spanish, German etc.) Foreign language learning carries an additional challenge compared to other school subjects. The foreign language is both the subject the students are learning and the language they are learning in. Therefore, the students must reach a certain language level before they can communicate in the foreign language. Likewise, their literacy skills in their mother language can only be transferred to their foreign language when they have reached a certain communicative level in the foreign language. Some students struggle to reach this level, referred to as the threshold level (B1), during the two to five years of tuition. Students also need help from the teacher in order to develop literacy strategies in the foreign language. In order to scaffold the students’ literacy development, the teachers need knowledge about the reading and writing processes. How can teachers develop an instructional design that promotes literacy in their classroom? How can they give feedback that moves the students forward? How can this be done in a digital context? This article tries to answer these questions.

What counts as ”knowledge” in foreign language teaching and learning practices today?
Authors: Tornberg Ulrika 
Published: May 2020

Abstract The purpose of this text is to describe and problematize possible didactic consequences for the communicative aspects of foreign language teaching and learning that the contemporary discussion at both national and transnational levels about ”knowledge” and ”accountability” in education may lead to. This discussion concerns, among other issues, various standardized measurements of pupils achievements and increasing demands on schools and teachers to deliver measurable and comparable results. What, then, counts as ”knowledge” in foreign language teaching and learning practices today? By undertaking a critical discourse analysis (Fairclough 1989) of the maybe most important transnational steering instrument for language teaching and learning practices in contemporary Europe, i.e.,The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Teaching,Learning and Assessment (CEFR) (2001) at least some answers to this questions may be clarified: The discourse of ”knowledge” in foreign language teaching and learning as expressed in CEFR is described by means of a typology of decontextualized ”competences” and ”skills”, cathegorized in specific domains and reference levels. One of the consequences for the communicative aspects of foreign language teaching and learning practices may be that a former democracy-oriented discussion about the aims and meaning of language communication in an increasingly heterogeneous and plurilingual world is lost. Key words: Communicative aspects of foreign language teaching and learning practices, ”Knowledge”, ”Accountability”, ”Competences and Skills”, CEFR, critical discourse analysis.
All write: Samarbeid om skriving i engelskopplæringen
Authors: Lund Ragnhild Elisabeth 
Published: May 2020

Denne artikkelen tar for seg elevers samarbeid om skriving i engelskfaget, innenfor rammen av et kurstilbud for svakt presterende elever på åttende, niende og tiende trinn. Læreren vektla skriveaktiviteter i disse kursene med referanse til Swain & Lapkin (1995) sin «output hypothesis», som går ut på at elever lærer best når de må produsere språk selv. Idéen til samarbeidsskriving fikk han fra forskning som peker på språklæringseffekten av at elever snakker sammen om språk («languaging») og blir klar over «hull» i egne språkferdigheter (Swain2006; Manchón 2011a). Skriving anses som spesielt egnet for «languaging»,ettersom skriftlig språk produseres langsommere enn muntlig, og fordi elevene kan forholde seg til et skriftlig produkt (Williams, 2012). Jeg var følgeforsker ved kursene.Undersøkelsen viser at elevene opplevde samarbeid om skriving som motiverende og lærerikt. De la stor arbeidsvilje for dagen, og de samarbeidet både om innhold, tekststruktur og språklige utfordringer. Bearbeiding av tekst på bakgrunn av lærerens tilbakemeldinger viste seg å være spesielt godt egnet for samarbeid. Overkommelige, meningsfylte og varierte oppgaver ser ut til å være en viktig forutsetning for at elevene skal trives med samarbeidsformen. Lærerens faglige og administrative dyktighet og evne til å motivere spiller også en avgjørende rolle.

Published: May 2020

Economic, social and political transformations have a manifest effect on the relationships that the various actors have with steppe resources. Highlighting the multiplicity of actors explains the development of conflicts over the use of this resource.
The present work aims, on the one hand, to shed light on the problem of conflicts in the Brezina area, in particular the identification of conflicts and the analysis of the various socio-economic issues of these conflicts. And on the other hand, to study the different mechanisms contributing to the management and neutralization of these conflicts, and consequently, to ensuring sustainable local development of this territory.
The results of joint classification obtained in our groups of surveys presenting similar declarations to carry out classes of authorized variables. The suitability of the variables in these measurement classes seems to reveal the same capabilities of representations. In the most important variances attains 100%. that of these key variables, to maintain good relations with local authorities (Mbr1), and the impact of the presence of nomads in the territories (Pnt), and more than 90% for an essential role of controlling farmers and breeders (Rec), They are effective in conflict management (Egc), these aspects reveal the strategy of these breeders in the management of resources in the territory. The index of the alpha value of the determined cronbach, shows satisfactory results around 0.887%.It should be noted that conflict resolution is closely linked to cultural specificities, community structures and the mode of communication between users. This resolution currently remains difficult and ambiguous because of the presence of several actors ; users of steppe areas, and of a multi-institutional system.

Published: May 2020

Thai Pangas (Pangasiaus hypophthalmus) has been emerging as an economically very important species due their faster growth, year round production and high productivity in South-East Asian aquaculture. It has good market value as a food fish due to its good taste and deliciousness with high protein, minerals and fat content. It is also popular as a game fish.
Aims: The present study was conducted to identify bacterial pathogens in diseased P. hypophthalmus and evaluate their sensitivity to antibiotics.
Methodology: To identify the causativeagent of diseased fish pure culture of bacteria using slant and streak plate techniques and different biochemical tests such as Gram’s Staining, Motility Test, Sugar Fermentation Test, MR-VP test, Indole Test etc. were performed. To assess the sensitivity of the isolated bacteria to antibiotics five antibiotics disks i.e. Ciprofloxacin (5μg), Azithromycin (15μg), Ampicillin/Sulbactam (20μg), Tetracycline (30μg) and Erythromycin (15μg) were used.
Results: Three pathogenic bacteria i.e. Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella ictaluri and Pseudomonas sp. were identified in the studied diseased fish. Only Pseudomonas sp. were identified from Fresh fish. E. ictaluri was found only in diseased pangas which was the causative agent for thedisease, Bacillary Necrosis. The results of the antibiotic sensitivity test showed multi-resistances of the identified bacteria to the tested antibiotics. The identified bacteria were 100% sensitive to Ciprofloxacin (5μg), intermediate to Azithromycin (15μg) and Tetracycline (30μg), but resistant to Erythromycin (15μg) and Ampicilin/Sulbactam (20μg).
Conclusion: Ciprofloxacin (5µg) could be used to control bacillary necrosis disease in Thai pangas. The results of this study will be helpful to the fish farmers for the management of bacterial diseases in fish.
Obesity‐Associated Adipose Stromal Cells Promote Breast Cancer Invasion through Direct Cell Contact and ECM Remodeling

AbstractObesity increases the risk and worsens the prognosis for breast cancer due, in part, to altered adipose stromal cell (ASC) behavior. Whether ASCs from obese individuals increase migration of breast cancer cells relative to their lean counterparts, however, remains unclear. To test this connection, multicellular spheroids composed of MCF10A‐derived tumor cell lines of varying malignant potential and lean or obese ASCs are embedded into collagen scaffolds mimicking the elastic moduli of interstitial breast adipose tissue. Confocal image analysis suggests that tumor cells alone migrate insignificantly under these conditions. However, direct cell‐cell contact with either lean or obese ASCs enables them to migrate collectively, whereby obese ASCs activate tumor cell migration more effectively than their lean counterparts. Time‐resolved optical coherence tomography imaging suggests that obese ASCs facilitate tumor cell migration by mediating contraction of local collagen fibers. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‐dependent proteolytic activity significantly contributes to ASC‐mediated tumor cell invasion and collagen deformation. However, ASC contractility is also important, as co‐inhibition of both MMPs and contractility is necessary to completely abrogate ASC‐mediated tumor cell migration. These findings imply that obesity‐mediated changes of ASC phenotype may impact tumor cell migration and invasion with potential implications for breast cancer malignancy in obese patients.
Ferrofluid Droplets as Liquid Microrobots with Multiple Deformabilities
Authors: Fan Xinjian , Sun Mengmeng , Sun Lining , Xie Hui 
Published: May 2020

AbstractDeveloping microrobots with multiple deformabilities has become extremely challenging due to the lack of materials that are soft enough at the microscale level and the inability to be reconfigured after fabrication. In this study, it is aimed to prove that liquid microrobots composed of ferrofluid droplets are inherently deformable and they can be controlled, individually or in aggregate, with multiple programmable deformabilities. For example, the liquid‐microrobot monomer (LRM) can pass through narrow channels via elongation and achieve scaling via splitting and coalescence. LRMs can also reassemble into various kinds of functional liquid‐robot aggregates, such as microsticks, micropies, microtrains, microkayaks, and microrollingpins. Thus, they can respond to multi‐terrain surfaces or perform various complex tasks. Moreover, the authors' physics‐based theoretical model demonstrates dynamic self‐assembly and group behavior of a multiple LRM system, which is conducive to investigating the mechanisms behind it. These ferrofluid droplet robots provide novel solutions for some potential applications, such as untethered micromanipulation and targeted cargo delivery.
