Culturally responsive pedagogy for sustainable quality education in the Cook Islands setting
Authors: Ava Aue Te 
Published: December 2020

The provision of a culturally responsive pedagogy is considered to be an important part of delivering a quality education that is ongoing and able to be sustained over time in Pacific developing nations. A quality sustainable education is considered to encourage cultural inclusivity, policy and curriculum practices in schools. By ensuring an inclusive and quality education, education can serve as a powerful vehicle for wider sustainable economic development in the Pacific region. To meet this end, United Nations Pacific signatories pledged support for the educational goal, endorsing an inclusive and equitable quality education for all that promotes relevant learning.
The implementation of culturally relevant teaching and learning environments have long remained a challenge for Pacific nations. In order to realise a sustainable quality education, the question that needs to be asked is: what does sustainable education look like in Pacific regions? This paper explores how the tivaevae as a culturally responsive pedagogy model creates opportunities for a sustainable education and curriculum in the Pacific region and, in turn, contributes to an inclusive and quality education.
Calculating for creativity: Maths joins the circus
Authors: Coleman Claire Marie , Lind Tim 
Published: December 2020

Following recent increases in the diversity of students, technologies, pedagogies and environments, New Zealand classrooms are sites of growing complexity. Tasked with covering a broad range of disciplines within each school day, opportunities for subject integration are of increasing value to busy teachers. Developing upon a previous piece of research (Coleman & Davies, 2018), this project sought to gain student engagement in mathematics through a dramatic framework. A key factor in developing adaptable, responsive and capable learners, creativity is an area of intense educational interest and yet substantial confusion (Jefferson & Anderson, 2017). Focusing upon the activation of students’ creative capacities through drama, this project offers suggestions for future praxis and the development of classrooms that invite creativity.
We began by establishing a fictional pre-text closely related to their earlier studies of insects. Recruited to assist Professor Lee—a flea circus owner, with the redesign of her circus, this pretext deliberately offered opportunities for mathematics integration. When planning we predicted the need for students to engage with numbers and measurement, yet remained responsive to opportunities arising from the drama or instigated by the students themselves. Over the five drama-maths sessions, we collaborated with students both in and out of role, to design, plan and prepare a new cockroach circus extravaganza. We generated data for the research through reflective journal entries, student work, drama based research and focus groups. Our findings indicate an enthusiasm for the use of drama to engage students and make mathematics meaningful and highlight the vital elements for collaboration and creativity. Three distinct elements appear crucial to engaging in an effective drama-maths unit: a sense of unity in pursuing a common goal, the value of the affective and embodied elements associated with drama, and cultivation of skills for collaboration. While this project bolsters existing rhetoric surrounding STEAM integration, it advocates for further development around existing notions of collaboration for 21st century learning.
Double Taxation Treaty Interpretation: Lessons from a Case Down Under
Authors: Du Plessis Izelle 
Published: December 2020

In the Australian case of Bywater Investments Ltd v Commissioner of Taxation; Hua Wang Bank Berhad v Commissioner of Taxation (the Bywater case) the Australian High Court dealt with the question of whether certain companies were resident in Australia for income tax purposes. The majority answered this question by applying Australian domestic law. In a separate but concurring judgement, Gordon J also discussed the interpretation and application of the relevant double taxation treaty. This contribution analyses Gordon J's judgment to extract guidance from it for the South African courts on their interpretation of double taxation treaties.
It is submitted that South African courts should also follow the "first step" proposed by Gordon J when interpreting double taxation treaties. South African courts may find Gordon J's judgment "instructive" when dealing with the interpretation of the "place of effective management" concept in both domestic law and double taxation treaties. In his judgment Gordon J favours the goal of common interpretation and it is argued that South African courts should follow this example and explicitly support this notion in applicable cases. From Gordon J's judgment and the judgement in Krok v Commissioner, South African Revenue Service, it is deduced that the positions in South Africa and Australia are similar in that the courts in both countries will be bound by the principles of Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties when interpreting double taxation treaties. Moreover, Gordon J's judgment indicates that the domestic principles of interpretation should not be used in the interpretation of double taxation treaties. Recent South African cases have suggested that there are no differences between the South African domestic principles of interpretation and those contained in Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This contribution submits that there are many similarities between the two, but that the rules are not exactly the same. South African courts should be aware of these differences and rather apply the rules of public international law, including those contained in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, when they interpret double taxation treaties. Gordon J specifically identifies the category of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties in which he places the Commentary on the OECD Model Tax Convention, to rely on it for his interpretation of the relevant double taxation treaty. South African courts may well learn from this approach, to create more certainty in the process of interpreting a double taxation treaty.

Introduction. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clonal disease of the blood system that occurs as a result of mutations in the genome of hematopoietic progenitor cells. As a result of mutations, the linear differentiation of hematopoietic cells is replaced by the proliferation of malignant myeloid progenitors. Currently, the risk group for AML in children is determined mainly by the presence of specific gene and chromosomal abnormalities and an increased level of peripheral blood leukocytes. The features of the immunophenotype of blast cells can also influence the course of the disease.The aim of the work is to assess the relationship between the immunophenotypic parameters of blast cells and the probability of achieving remission in children with AML.Materials and methods. The study included 109 patients aged 3 months to 17 years who received treatment according to the AML BFM 87, AML BFM 2004, NII DOG AML 2007 и NII DOG AML 2012 protocol in the period from 1991 to 2020.Results. The study showed the relationship between the probability of achieving remission and the presence of markers CD33, CD19 and CD14 on tumor cells. Expression of lymphoid antigen CD19 on blasts was associated with a higher rate of remission (73.0 % vs 95.5 %, p = 0.027). The absence of the linearly associated myeloid marker CD33 negatively correlated with the remission rate (61.1 % vs 87.7 %, p = 0.007). In the presence of monocyte antigen CD14 on blasts, the probability of achieving remission was low (95 % vs 50 %, p = 0.013).Conclusion. Characteristics of the immunophenotype of tumor cells in AML in children are associated with the probability of achieving remission.

Introduction. The search for new antineoplastic agents in a series of indolo[2,3-a]-carbazole derivatives is an urgent and promising direction, since compounds with antitumor activity have been found in this class. In the chemical fusion laboratory, N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center оf the Ministry of Health of Russia has developed an original and effective method for the synthesis of glycosides of indolo[2,3-a]-pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazoles, which makes it possible to synthesize derivatives of N-glycosides of indolo[2,3-a]carbazoles with different substituents in the heterocyclic parts including at the maleimide nitrogen atom and with different carbohydrate residues.The purpose of the study – the primary assessment of the antitumor activity of new derivatives of indolocarbazoles with a carbohydrate residue xylose in models of tumor growth mice.Materials and methods. The compounds studied at transplanted tumors of mice: the Lewis epidermoid carcinoma (LLC), colon cancer ACATOL, cervical cancer RSHM-5, breast adenocarcinoma CA-755. Studies were performed on immunocompetent mice: males and females of BDF1 hybrids (C57Bl/6 × DBA/2), females CBA/Lac and Balb/c. Compound solutions were prepared ex tempore and administered to the mice intraperitoneally at a dose of 60 mg/kg daily for five days. The antitumor effect was evaluated as to of tumor growth inhibition and increase of life span of the treated animals as compared with the control ones.Results. Eight compounds studied, containing D-xylose as a carbohydrate component and various substituents at the maleimide nitrogen atom, showed different degrees of antitumor activity. Two derivatives have been identified: N-[5,7-dioxo-12-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-indole[2,3-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazol-6-il]benzamide (compound 4) and N-[5,7-dioxo-12-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-5,7,12,13-tetrahydro-6H-indole[2,3-a]pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazole-6-il]pyridin-2-carboxamide (compound 8), which showed high antitumor activity on 4 solid tumors of mice with a duration of effect of 12 days or more. The most pronounced antitumor effect was obtained in compounds 4 and 8 in RSHM-5 and Ca-755, tumor growth inhibition was amounted, respectively: in RSHM-5 – 68–82 % and 80–72 %; for Ca-755 – 57–62 % and 86–68 % (p <0.05).Conclusion. For further research, we chose the compound (N-[5,7-dioxo-12-(β-D-xilopiranosil)-5,7,12,13-tetrahydro-6H-indole[2,3-a] pyrrolo[3,4-c]carbazol-6-il]pyridin-2-carboxamide).

R
Rakushechny Yar has attracted interest for a long period of time. New questions arose around its materials and the site itself, which led to renewal of excavations and investigations of this site nowadays. New investigations of the place allowed the authors to distinguish early Neolithic layers, which were inaccessible before due to a high water level of the Don River. Particularities of Unio and Viviparus shells distribution show that these were different shell middens within several horizons. Also variety of spots full of bone debris and pits were uncovered here. New paleogeographical studies allowed reconstruction ancient landscape in the surroundings of this place. Shell tools, stone industry and ceramic assemblage, bone and antler tools are early Neolithic finds. The first time wooden artefacts and coprolites were found in a low watered layer. Finds of bones of domestic animals suggest even more complicated organization of this early Neolithic society.

Complex studies of multi-layer Stone Age sites located in the foothills of the North-Western Caucasus (Gubs Gorge) made it possible to obtain fairly representative collections of archaeological materials including stone and bone artifacts and faunal remains, dating from the end of the Late Palaeolithic to Mesolithic and Eneolithic periods. Large concentrations of terrestrial gastropods Helix sp. shells were found in the Early and Late Mesolithic layers.
Complex studies of multi-layer Stone Age sites located in the foothills of the North-Western Caucasus (Gubs Gorge) made it possible to obtain fairly representative collections of archaeological materials including stone and bone artifacts and faunal remains, dating from the end of the Late Palaeolithic to Mesolithic and Eneolithic periods. Large concentrations of terrestrial gastropods Helix sp. shells were found in the Early and Late Mesolithic layers. These gastropods were the objects of collecting and probably composed a significant part of the primitive communities diet. Dvoinaya Cave and Chygai Rockshelter belong to series of synchronous Mediterranean, Levant and Zagros sites with large concentrations of grape snails in the late Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic layers. The data of the use-wear analysis of stone tools, micro-chemical and IR-spectroscopic analysis of the residues on the stone tools surfaces allow to conclude that the ancient inhabitants of the Gubs Gorge collected and processed various plant resources, including wood, grass fibers, resin of coniferous and fruit plants with the purpose of manufacturing and fastening of handles, frames and shafts of arrows. The river mollusks Theodoxus danubialis shells were used for making beads. More than 30 shells with punched or drilled holes were found in the lowest layer of the Dvoinaya Cave.

Authors: K. Divya Krishnan , K. P. Shyna , K. V. Urmila , K. V. Anand 
Published: December 2020

Background: Childhood obesity is a serious problem worldwide. Body mass index (BMI) has been the widely used tool to detect obesity. Central adiposity detected by waist indices is a better predictor of obesity related complications like metabolic syndrome. Objective of this study was to analyze the correlation of waist indices with BMI as indicators of overweight (OW)/obesity in school going children.Methods: This study was done in 880 adolescents from two schools in Kerala. Anthropometric measurements including waist circumference (WC) were taken according to guidelines and BMI, waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio (WHtR) calculated. We categorized children as normal, OW/obese according to BMI charts by centers for disease control and prevention (CDC). A cutoff 70th centile in WC charts by Khadilkar et al, WHR of more than 0.85 in girls and 0.9 in boys, WHtR >0.5 were taken as central obesity.Results: The prevalence of overweight/obesity (BMI >85th centile) was estimated to be 26.3%. Prevalence of central obesity was 12.3% when measured by WC, 22.8% measured by WHR, 14.8% measured by WHtR. All three waist indices showed statistically significant correlation with OW/obesity and BMI (p<0.001). Multivariate regression showed association of OW/obesity with urban school, acanthosis nigricans, hypertension, WHtR (p<0.001) and with WC (p=0.004).Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is alarmingly high in adolescent children. Waist height ratio was best correlated with Body mass index and overweight/obesity, followed by Waist circumference. We recommend waist height ratio as a screening tool to predict obesity in school going children.

Published: December 2020

Background: The diagnosis and management of anemia largely depends on clinical assessment for pallor. Objective was to evaluate the usefulness of clinical pallor to detect anemia, to correlate pallor with grades and etiology of anemia. Methods: This case control study included 300 children in the age group of 6months to 5years. Pallor was assessed in four sites conjunctiva, tongue, nailbed and palm. Children with pallor at any one site were taken as study group (n=150) and without pallor at all 4 sites as controls (n=150). Hemoglobin estimation and other relevant investigations were done. Anemia was diagnosed according to WHO criterion (Hb<11 g/dl in 6 months-5 years) and graded as mild, moderate and severe.Results: Both groups were comparable in characteristics of age and gender (p value>0.05). In pallor group, 119 had anemia, whereas non pallor control group had 45 anemics. Sensitivity and specificity of pallor for anemia detection were 72.6% and 77.2% respectively. Maximum sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were found for palmar pallor. Tongue turned out to be least sensitive for identifying pallor. All the four sites were found to have statistically significant correlation in identifying mild, moderate and severe grades of anemia. Among causes of anemia; iron deficiency anemia was the etiology in 81.1% of cases. Pallor at each site showed no statistically significant correlation with etiology.Conclusions:Pallor is useful in detecting anemia. Multiple site examination is suggested as its increases the sensitivity. No positive correlation observed between pallor and its etiology.

Published: December 2020

Purpose: According to the importance of the refugee issue and refugee rights and since that Hashimte Kingdom of Jordan did not join the 1951 convention of refugees status and its 1967 protocol and managed to sign the memorandum of understanding instead with UNHCR, this study aimed to tackle the issue of refugees rights and duties between reality and implementation in Jordan.
Methodology: This study adopted the descriptive, analytical, and comparative methodology of international and regional conventions, in addition to the comparison between the Jordanian legislation and the Memorandum of Understanding on Refugees with the provisions of international law. Also, it utilized the empirical method by conducting a field study.
Main Findings: Results gained from the questionnaire concluded the refugees on Jordanian territory got rights more than what was stipulated on in the memorandum of understanding signed between the Jordan government and the United Nations high commissioner for refugees’ affairs (UNHCR). It also found out that the majority of refugees committed to their responsibilities in maintaining general security and order.
Implications/Applications: This study has addressed the implications of the memorandum of understanding signed between the Jordan government and the United Nations high commissioner for refugees' affairs (UNHCR) by its analysis and application on a random sample of 150 refugees in Jordan, including Syrians in the biggest refugee camp in Jordan; Al- Zaatari refugee camp, in addition to the implications of the memorandum on Iraqi and Yemeni refugees in Jordan.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study was based on the memorandum of understanding between Jordan and (UNHCR) that was signed in the background of the refugee crisis that our countries witnessed. However, this study was the first to analyze the articles of the memorandum of understanding mentioned above and was backed up with a field study on a random sample of 150 Syrian refugees in Jordan refugees’ camps.

Historia y memoria en el paisaje artístico contemporáneo
Authors: Sánchez Giner María Victoria , Fernández Díaz Manuel 
Published: December 2020

La presente comunicación pretende abordar la relación entre Geografía, Historia y Arte. Una aproximación que enfocaremos desde el punto de vista del arte del paisaje pero que necesariamente necesita de un apoyo histórico y geográfico, para lo cual acudiremos a estudios recientes. El espacio geográfico físico no se puede entender sin un espacio cultural e histórico asociado. La cultura y la historia son fruto de la adaptación de una sociedad concreta a un territorio concreto en un tiempo concreto. Para Munárriz (2005) La perspectiva antropológica parte del espacio físico pero lo supedita a su dimensión cultural, es decir, en cuanto componente básico del entorno vital en el que se desarrolla la historia, el lugar donde se desarrollan formas concretas y específicas de vida. Santacana y Mestre (2009) atribuyen al paisaje la cualidad de histórico cuando muestra en uno o más elementos constitutivos del mismo, bien sean diacrónicos o sincrónicos, evocaciones o informaciones explícitas del pasado humano por lo que se convierten en un recurso para la conservación de la memoria colectiva de un hecho concreto y significativo. En este sentido dividen el paisaje histórico en diversas categorías, entre las que destacaremos el Paisaje con patrimonio histórico intangible y el Paisaje con patrimonio mítico.
