Moving Objects
Authors: Taylor Damon 
Published: October 2020

Moving Objects deals with emotive design: designed objects that demand to be engaged with rather than simply used. If postmodernism depended upon ironic distance, and Critical Design is all about questions, then emotive design runs hotter than this, confronting how designers are using feelings in what they make.
Damon Taylor’s original study considers these emotionally laden, highly authored works, often produced in limited editions and sold like art – objects such as a chair made from cuddly toys, a leather sofa that resembles a cow, and a jewellery box fashioned from human hair.
Tracing the phenomenon back to the ‘Dutch inflection’ that began with Droog designers like Jurgen Bey and Hella Jongerius, Taylor conducts an analysis of the development of Design Art and looks for its origins in the uncanny explorations of surrealism. Offering a critique of Speculative Design, and an examination of the work of designers such as Mathias Bengtsson, whose work involves ‘growing’ furniture inside computers, Taylor asks what happens when the tangible melts into the datascape and design becomes a question of mobilities. In this way, Moving Objects examines contemporary issues of how we live with artefacts and what design can do.
Annihilating Noise
Authors: Hegarty Paul 
Published: October 2020

Noise has become a model of cultural and theoretical thinking over the last two decades. Following Hegarty’s influential 2007 book, Noise/Music, Annihilating Noise discusses in sixteen essays how noise offers a way of thinking about critical resistance, disruptive creativity and a complex yet enticing way of understanding the unexpected, the dissonant, the unfamiliar.
It presents noise as a negativity with no fixed identity that can only be defined in connection and opposition to meaning and order. This book reaches beyond experimental music and considers noise as an idea and practice within a wide range of frameworks including social, ecological, and philosophical perspectives. It introduces the ways in which the disruptive implications of noise impact our ways of thinking, acting, and organizing in the world, and applies it to 21st-century concerns and today’s technological ecology.

Abstract. There is a large range of future aerosol emissions scenarios explored
in the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), with plausible pathways
spanning a range of possibilities from large global reductions in
emissions by 2050 to moderate global increases over the same
period. Diversity in emissions across the pathways is particularly
large over Asia. Rapid reductions in anthropogenic aerosol and
precursor emissions between the present day and the 2050s lead to
enhanced increases in global and Asian summer monsoon precipitation
relative to scenarios with weak air quality policies. However, the
effects of aerosol reductions do not persist to the end of the 21st
century for precipitation, when instead the response to greenhouse
gases dominates differences across the SSPs. The relative magnitude
and spatial distribution of aerosol changes are particularly important
for South Asian summer monsoon precipitation changes. Precipitation
increases here are initially suppressed in SSPs 2-4.5, 3-7.0, and
5-8.5 relative to SSP1-1.9 when the impact of remote emission
decreases is counteracted by continued increases in South Asian
emissions.
The Significance of Non-traditional and Alternative Assessment in English Language Teaching: Evidence From Literature
Authors: Mansory Mazin 
Published: October 2020

Assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning in educational organizations that requires teachers to prepare tests in order to evaluate their learners’ performance. In language teaching contexts, traditional assessment often evaluates learners’ knowledge of previously learned language items. It is a mandatory process that determines the progress of language learners and the effectiveness of teaching/learning materials. This theoretical article reviews the literature on the notion of traditional assessment or static assessment which has certain shortcomings. Owing to the various drawbacks of static assessment, the review of related literature on the topic highlights and proposes alternative assessment methods, such as authentic assessment, dynamic assessment, peer assessment, and self-assessment. In contrast to traditional assessment, these different forms of alternative assessment share a common purpose that is to provide language learners with an opportunity to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and set their future learning goals. The most common of the assessment methods that encourage learners' reflection were peer assessment and self-assessment which involve learners to assess their own progress as well as engage with peers in classrooms to give each other feedback on their language learning tasks assigned by teachers. The studies reviewed in this article illustrate that alternative assessment methods in the form of peer and self-assessment have a positive influence on the language learners' performance and their learning outcomes.

ZFPM2-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of human non-small cell lung cancer cells involving the JAK-STAT and AKT pathways
Authors: Wang Xiwen , Tang Jun , Zhao Jungang , Lou Bin , Li Li 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
Recent studies have determined that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are potential prognostic biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). The purpose of this study was to analyze the function and associated pathways of zinc finger protein multitype 2 antisense RNA 1 (ZFPM2-AS1) in NSCLC cells.

Methods
We used qRT-PCR to analyze ZFPM2-AS1’s transcription level. Its proliferation, migration, and invasion capacities were determined using MTT, colony forming, wound healing, and transwell assays. We additionally analyzed the correlation between ZFPM2 and immune infiltration using the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database, and the protein expression levels using Western blots.

Results
We found that ZFPM2-AS1 expression in NSCLC specimens and cell lines was elevated compared to the control group. ZFPM2-AS1 is an oncogene and independent prognostic predictor of poor survival in NSCLCs, and its expression had a positive correlation with tumor size and lymph node metastasis in our clinical data. MTT, colony forming, wound healing, and transwell assays showed a positive correlation between ZFPM2-AS1 expression and the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells in the presence and absence of interferon- (IFN-γ). Using the TIMER database, we hypothesized that ZFPM2 was negatively correlated with ZFPM2-AS1 expression, as well as the immune infiltration levels in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Finally, we found that ZFPM2-AS1 negatively regulated ZFPM2 expression, and had a positive correlation with PD-L1 expression through the JAK-STAT and AKT pathways.

Conclusion
Our study confirmed that ZFPM2-AS1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of NSCLC cells via the JAK-STAT and AKT pathways. Further research on the ZFPM2-AS1 pathway regulation mechanism is needed.

Published: October 2020

What many nations like Nigeria need now is a functional and qualitative science education that will assist in national development. Science education has been identified to be one of the major bedrocks for the transformation of our national economy, hence must be adequately attended. This work was carried out to determine the impact of economic recession on teaching and learning sciences in higher institutions. A survey research design was adopted for the study. While a sampling random was used, using cluster as a sampling technique to select a sample of two hundred and twelve (212) respondents from Aminu Saleh College of Education, Azare , Bauchi state,Nigeria. The instrument used for the study was questionnaire, the data collected was sorted out and analyzed using frequency distribution table and simple percentage. The problems associated with educational development through teachers, students and management staff were investigated and result pointed out that, all these contributed greatly to the aforementioned negative impact economic recession has on educational development. The government, teachers, students and management staff are therefore faced with challenges of maximizing whatever allocated to them to reduce the effect of current recession on education.

Published: October 2020

The objective of this study is to empirically investigate the effect of tax revenue and years tax reforms on government expenditure in Nigerian. Tax revenue were explained using custom and excise duties, company income tax, value-added tax and tax reforms explained by the years in which reforms took place measured by dummy variables as proxies. In conducting this research, an annual time series data from central bank statistical bulletins and Federal Inland revenue Service of Nigeria spanning from 1994-2017 were employed. The data were tested for stationarity using the Augmented Dicker-Fuller Unit Root Test and found stationary at first difference. The Johansen co-integration test was also conducted and showed that the variables are co-integrated at the 5% level, which implied that there is a long-run relationship between the variables in the model. The presence of co-integration spurred the use of vector error correction model and VEC granger causality to determine the effects and decision for the study objective. Findings revealed that Customs and Excise Duties has positive (3.96) and significant (-8.38) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.38>1.96), Company Income Tax has negative (-1.25) and significant (2.98) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=2.98>1.96), Value added tax has positive (8.54) and significant (3.90) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=3.90>1.96) and Tax reforms periods has negative(-3.52E+12) and significant (8.39) impact on government expenditure at 5% level of significance (t=8.39>1.96). The study thus concluded that tax revenue and tax reforms significantly affect the Nigerian economy with the direction of causation running from government revenue to government expenditure, supporting the revenue-spend or tax-spend hypothesis. It was recommended while seeking to increase its revenue base via tax should also increase their expenditure profile to create a balance with the tax revenue and every other tax reform should be geared towards this balance.

Human Resource Management Practice and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction: The Case Study of East Wollega Zone Secondary Schools, Western Ethiopia
Authors: Wakwoya Fanta 
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Human resource management is the most important function in any organization; because it is related with the responsibility of using resources for the purpose of achieving the goals of the organization. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Human Resource Management Practice and Teachers’ Job Satisfaction in government Secondary Schools.
Methods: The research design for this study was correlation research. Both quantitative and qualitative research approach was used. Data was collected through questionnaire and interview. Respondents were selected using random sampling technique and a total of 155 respondents were participated. Also, five school principals were purposively selected and participated in the study. The data collected were organized, analyzed, tabulated and interpreted using simple percentages, means, standard deviation, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation.
Results: Major findings of the study are: majority of respondents reported poor teaching staff resource planning (M=2.14, SD=1.18), provision of training and development on various issues was inadequate (M=2.24, SD=1.32), performance appraisal practice was not based on clear and transparent procedures (M=2.05, SD=1.15), a good number of teachers were feeling moderate job satisfaction to the existing work environment (M=3.24, SD=1.35). Correlation analysis indicates significant positive interaction between human resource management and teachers job satisfaction (r=0.55, p=0.00).
Discussion: The importance of human resource management was not acknowledged and well understood by the educational leaders. Effective human resource management can improve workforce utilization in schools and it will potentially increase the job satisfaction of teachers. Performance appraisal and supervision activities were taken as the retinue activity in the schools under study .This may have impact on teachers' job satisfaction, self improvement and school goal achievement. Thus, school administration need to design strategic system that invites the school principals in the activities of human resource management.

The study was carried out to investigate the protective effects of bi-herbal formulation of aqueous extracts of Vernonia amygdalina and Gongronema latifolium against gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity and liver injury in rats. Forty (n=40) male Wistar albino rats were procured and separated into five groups. Groups I and II served as normal control and experimental control respectively. Groups III to V served as test groups. Rats of experimental control (group II) and test groups were induced with lethal dose of gentamicin. Test groups III and IV were placed on herbal formulation of aqueous extracts of V .amygdalina and G. latifolium respectively, whereas rats in test group V received bi-herbal formulation of aqueous extracts of V. amygdalina and G. latifolium. Nephrotoxic indices such as urea reduced significantly (p<0.05) in test groups (III, IV, and V) when compared to experimental control (group II) and normal control (group I). Creatinine also reduced significantly (p<0.05) in test groups III and V against group II (experimental control), and increased insignificantly (p>0.05) in test group V when compared to normal control (group I). Rats induced with gentamicin had upsurge in liver enzymes indicating possible compromise of hepatocellular integrity but the ameliorating effects of the herbal formulations were seen clearly in test groups in this study as they tried to protect the hepatocellular integrity. The bi-herbal formulation of aqueous extract of 5% v/v each of V. amygdalina and G. latifolium offered the best protection as observed in this study. This study has revealed the protective effects of bi-herbal formulation of aqueous extract of V. amygdalina and G. latifolium against gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity and liver injury in rats.
