Implementing a Teaching and Learning Enhancement Workshop at Aga Khan University: reflections on the implementation and outcomes of an Instructional Skills Workshop in the context of Pakistan
Authors: Rodrigues Sherwin , Bhutta Sadia Muzaffar , Salim Zeenar , Chauhan Sahreen , Rizvi Naghma 
Published: April 2020

The Teaching and Learning Enhancement Workshop (TLEW) is an indigenous name for the Canadian-based Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW). TLEW is a teaching development workshop aimed at enhancing faculty members’ stances towards student-centred teaching and reflective practice at the higher education level. This short paper discusses the initiation, implementation and institutionalisation of the TLEW at Aga Khan University (AKU) across entities in Asia and Africa. In total, 77 faculty members drawn from different entities of AKU participated in the workshop in 2016-2017. Empirical evidence collected from TLEW graduates through a survey and interviews suggests that the intense episode of planning, teaching and receiving peer feedback during TLEW helped participants in sensitising them to effective planning for teaching in order to engage and enrich students’ learning. Furthermore, the repertoire of pedagogical strategies has permeated graduates’ classrooms. Nevertheless, for sustainability a mechanism needs to be in place for providing faculty with institutional support and recognition for their contribution in teaching and learning. A need is advocated for TLEW to evolve as a mandatory component for all teaching staff at the university to help serve as a fundamental base for initiating and sustaining change through ongoing professional development opportunities and establishing a community of practice.

University education in the ‘global South’: issues, challenges, opportunities and musings on the future
Authors: Breit Rhonda 
Published: April 2020

In this editorial, issue editor Rhonda Breit introduces the five peer-reviewed articles and three thoughtful and engaging reflections in the sixth issue of the SOTL in the South journal. These papers provide insights into how universities in the 'global South' are claiming a unique space in tertiary education: a space that responds to context, a space that is responsive to dynamic change and a space that values diversity and tradition. In addition, the editorial asks what sort of university leadership is needed in order to bring the global South in from the margins. Breit includes three reflections on leadership from academic leaders working in the global South that discuss how its universities are responding to disturbances and adapting to changing ecologies.

Appraising understandings of a social justice-infused pedagogy: Adinkra symbols as probes
Authors: Mchunu Khaya 
Published: April 2020

This article explores understandings of a social justice-infused pedagogy whilst inspiring new approaches to design. Drawing on the work of Giroux (2004), hooks (2003) and Leibowitz and Bozalek (2016), amongst others, this paper offers a case study of a student project in a Department of Fashion at a Durban-based University of Technology (UoT), in which students partnered with community stakeholders on a collaborative handbag design project. The project involved using traditional Ghanaian Adinkra symbols as probes to explore how students and their community partners understand the concept of social justice pedagogy. Group interviews, photographs and thematic content analysis are used to collect and analyse data on understandings of social justice pedagogy. Consequently, three themes are discussed about the groups’ understanding of a socially infused pedagogy. Beyond their role in understanding this pedagogy, these historical symbols are noted by the groups as providing a new approach to their design process.

Online journalism education in Rwanda: students find value in the Experiential Learning Approach
Authors: Njuguna Joseph , Jjuuko Margaret 
Published: April 2020

The digital age is reshaping media industries locally and globally, forcing media firms and media producers to master new media tools in order to remain competitive and employable. This technological revolution has had a marked impact on the structures and economic viability of media, necessitating media training institutions to rethink how they prepare future media professionals for work in the twenty-first century. In order to keep pace with these rapid technological changes, educational institutions have had to adjust journalism curricula to integrate online or multimedia journalism courses that build online competencies and the technological skills needed for graduates to flourish in digital media domains. Despite these efforts, industry players still decry the apparent unpreparedness of graduates, largely attributing this to the learning approach taken by universities.Quality skills training has been argued to ensure that learners can relate with real work life. However, in countries like Rwanda, little is known about whether these new strategies are fostering the knowledge, skills and professional dispositions needed to work in a country that is undergoing rapid technological and economic change. Drawing from experiential learning theory, this study uses five focus-group discussions from five Rwandan journalism schools to glean the views of final-year students on how trainers employ practical pedagogy to cultivate students’ online skills in readiness for employment. Findings reveal that students consider the experiential learning approaches to be essential to their perceived online readiness. These enhanced skills were achieved using digital scenarios relating to students’ future work environment. However, the perceived quality of this experience varied from trainer to trainer, based on a range of factors including their how students perceived the trainers’ attitudes towards new media, their perceived ability to teach the digital skills and the learners’ own digital experience and competence.

<b>Twilight of the North</b> // Crepúsculo del norte
Authors: Arnason Thorvardur 
Published: April 2020

The Northern Nature that I know is currently in a constant state of flux. Part of this is due to its inherent dynamism—the diversity of interacting ecological and geomorphological processes, the dramatic seasonal changes, the ever-changing light, both diurnal and nocturnal, and occasional volatile phenomena, such as big storms or volcanic eruptions. Another part, however, has anthropogenic origins, either directly or indirectly. These latter changes are most clearly evidenced in the rapidly shrinking glaciers in the area where I live and work. I feel drawn to glaciers in part because of their strange beauty, but also because I have seen and witnessed these changes taking place. Working with film and photography under such circumstances becomes less an act of documenting or remembering than something that might be called active hindsight. The only thing you can be really sure of is that the glacier you saw yesterday will not be the same one you will see tomorrow. Attached to these filmic acts there is both an exuberance—that of being constantly exposed to new forms of beauty—and a growing sadness, caused by experiencing the slow death of this glacial beauty. Resumen La naturaleza nórdica que conozco está constantemente cambiando en la actualidad. En parte, esto se debe a su dinamismo inherente: la diversidad de procesos ecológicos y geomorfológicos que interactúan, los drásticos cambios estacionales, la siempre variable luz, tanto nocturna como diurna, y los inestables sucesos ocasionales como las grandes tormentas o las erupciones volcánicas. Sin embargo, los cambios también tienen origen antropogénico, directa o indirectamente. Estos últimos se demuestran en la rápida reducción de glaciares en la zona donde vivo y trabajo. Me siento atraído hacia los glaciares por su extraña belleza, pero también porque he visto y he sido testigo de los cambios. Trabajar con película y fotografía en tales circunstancias deja de ser un acto de documentación y recuerdo para convertirse en algo que puede llamarse retrospectiva activa—lo único de lo que puedes estar seguro es de que el glaciar que viste ayer no será el mismo que veas mañana. Conectada a estos acos fílmicos existe tanto exuberancia, por estar constantemente expuesto a nuevas bellezas, como una gran y creciente tristeza, provocada por experimentar de formar regular y a largo plazo esta lenta muerte de la belleza glacial.
<b>Review Essay: The Importance of Climate-change Economics</b> // Ensayo reseña: La importancia de la economía del cambio climático
Authors: Whitney Charles 
Published: April 2020

The economics of climate-change mitigation has become a central problem in the struggle to address increasing climate threats, and should become a concern of humanistic study and education. This essay concerns three recent, major studies on this subject. The first mixes mainstream and ecological economics and calls for relatively radical changes in manufacturing, finance, and regulation that would limit economic growth and environmental destruction, while increasing well-being. The second offers a more integrated plan of how a policy can be developed and actually implemented, but fails to justify its assumptions or demonstrate its reliability. The third argues that the full range of economic study must be integrated in new initiatives to co-ordinate a general transformation of economic activity worldwide, to center it on climate-change mitigation. On the one hand, all the books offer some excellent proposals, although the demand for continuing economic growth may continue to limit their adoption. On the other hand, none of the books gives sufficient attention to the developing world and none attributes intrinsic value to the non-human world. Resumen La mitigación de la economía del cambio climático se ha convertido en un problema central en la lucha por abordar las crecientes amenazas climáticas, y debería convertirse en un asunto de interés para las humanidades y la educación. Este ensayo se centra en tres importantes y recientes estudios sobre el tema. El primero mezcla la economía convencional y la ecológica, y exige cambios relativamente radicales en la fabricación, financiación y regulación que limitarían el crecimiento económico y la destrucción medioambiental, al mismo tiempo que aumentarían el bienestar. El segundo ofrece un plan más integrado de cómo una política puede desarrollarse y, de hecho, implementarse, pero no llega a justificar sus suposiciones ni a demostrar su fiabilidad. El tercero argumenta que toda la gama de estudio económico debe integrarse en nuevas iniciativas para coordinar una transformación general de la actividad económica mundial, para centrarla en la mitigación del cambio climático. Por un lado, todos los libros ofrecen algunas propuestas excelentes, aunque la demanda de continuar con el crecimiento económico pude seguir limitando su adopción. Por otro lado, ninguno de los libros presta suficiente atención a los países en desarrollo, y ninguno atribuye valor intrínseco al mundo no-humano.

<b>Población, cambio climático y huella ambiental</b> // Population, Climate Change and Environmental Footprint
Authors: Peinado Lorca Manuel 
Published: April 2020

Resumen En 1679 Anthony van Leeuwenhoek fue el primero en especular acerca del número de seres humanos que podría albergar la Tierra. Desde entonces y, sobre todo, desde que Thomas Malthus publicó en 1798 su célebre ensayo, el debate demográfico –particularmente exacerbado en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, cuando la tasa de crecimiento poblacional duplicaba a la actual- se estableció en dos frentes, el de los boomsters, que sostienen que no hay límites para la explotación de los recursos terrestres, y el de los doomsters, para los que los recursos del planeta tienen unos límites que estamos a punto de desbordar. La detección en la década de 1990 de los primeros síntomas del calentamiento global ha marginado a unos y otros. Hoy, el debate no se centra en los límites de los recursos, sino en los excesos de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero con los que nuestro sistema económico consumista está alterando el equilibrio global de la Tierra. La superpoblación sigue siendo el problema, pero la unidad de medida de hoy es nuestra huella ambiental evaluada en términos de producción de gases de efecto invernadero, los responsables de la aceleración del cambio climático global. Abstract In 1679 Anthony van Leeuwenhoek was the first person speculating about the number of human beings that the Earth could harbour. Since then and, above all, since Thomas Malthus published his famous essay in 1798, the demographic debate—especially exacerbated in the second half of the last century, when the population growth rate doubled the current one—was established on two fronts, that of boomsters, who argue that there are no limits to the exploitation of the Erath resources; and that of doomsters, for whom the Earth resources have a limit that we are about to overflow. The detection in the 1990s of the first symptoms of global warming has marginalised ones and the others. Nowadays, the debate is not focused on the limits of resources, but on the excessive emissions of greenhouse gases with which our consumer economic system is altering the global balance of the Earth. Overpopulation is still the problem, but the current unit of measure is our environmental footprint assessed in terms of the production of greenhouse gases, which are responsible for the global climate change.

Обучение чтению как культурному событию в смешанной аудитории при изучении русского как второго иностранного в школах Чехии
Authors: Getmanenko N.I. , Rozbuodova L. , Shafrankova L. 
Published: April 2020

В учебных учреждениях появился новый тип обучаемого ученик-билингв. В связи с этим необходимо менять современную образовательную модель, особо обращая внимание на чтение как вид речевой деятельности и принципы отбора дидактического материала при обучении чтению в смешанной аудитории на уроках РКИ в школах Чехии. В качестве примера приводится один из авторских текстов, которому отводится ролькультурного событияпри чтении в семейном кругу, в классе или во внеурочное время. Авторы обосновывают необходимость и особенность целенаправленной и систематической методической работы с текстами, чтение которых может стать культурным событием. Предложена авторская методика работы с подобными текстами.The concept of this article is based on the following three principal points. The first one is connected with the advent of a new type of student in schools, a bilingual student, and, due to this, the necessity to introduce changes to the modern educational model. The second one is related to the role of reading as a species of speech activity and is concerning the principles of selection of didactic materials when teaching reading to a diverse audience (including bilingual students) in classes of Russian as a Foreign Language in schools of the Czech Republic. As an example, there is provided one of the authors texts which plays the role of a cultural event for school students and primary school students who are mono- and bilinguals, when reading in the family circle, in class or out-of-class. The third one substantiates the necessity and specialty of a purposeful and systematic methodological work with texts, the reading of which could become a cultural event. The authors methodology of work with such texts is proposed.

Separate Silicate and Carbonaceous Solids Formed from Mixed Atomic and Molecular Species Diffusing in Neon Ice
Authors: Rouillé Gaël , Jäger Cornelia , Henning Thomas 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The formation and growth of refractory matter on pre-existing interstellar dust grain surfaces was studied experimentally by annealing neon-ice matrices in which potential precursors of silicate grains (Mg and Fe atoms, SiO and SiO2 molecules) and of solid carbon (C
n
molecules, n = 2–10) were initially isolated. Other molecules, mainly O3, CO, CO2, C3O, and H2O, were embedded at the same time in the matrices. The annealing procedure caused the cold dopants to diffuse and interact in the neon ice. Monitoring the procedure in situ with infrared spectroscopy revealed the disappearance of the silicon oxide and carbon molecules at temperatures lower than 13 K, and the rise of the Si–O stretching band of silicates. Ex situ electron microscopy confirmed the formation of silicate grains and showed that their structure was amorphous. It also showed that amorphous carbon matter was formed simultaneously next to the silicate grains, the two materials being chemically separated. The results of the experiments support the hypothesis that grains of complex silicates and of carbonaceous materials are reformed in the cold interstellar medium, as suggested by astronomical observations and evolution models of cosmic dust masses. Moreover, they show that the potential precursors of one material do not combine with those of the other at cryogenic temperatures, providing us with a clue as to the separation of silicates and carbon in interstellar grains.
Gravitational-wave Detection and Parameter Estimation for Accreting Black-hole Binaries and Their Electromagnetic Counterpart
Authors: Caputo Andrea , Sberna Laura , Toubiana Alexandre , Babak Stanislav , Barausse Enrico , Marsat Sylvain , Pani Paolo 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
We study the impact of gas accretion on the orbital evolution of black-hole binaries initially at large separation in the band of the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We focus on two sources: (i) stellar-origin black-hole binaries (SOBHBs) that can migrate from the LISA band to the band of ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories within weeks/months; and (ii) intermediate-mass black-hole binaries (IMBHBs) in the LISA band only. Because of the large number of observable GW cycles, the phase evolution of these systems needs to be modeled to great accuracy to avoid biasing the estimation of the source parameters. Accretion affects the GW phase at negative (−4) post-Newtonian order, being thus dominant for binaries at large separations. Accretion at the Eddington or at super-Eddington rate will leave a detectable imprint on the dynamics of SOBHBs. For super-Eddington rates and a 10 yr mission, a multiwavelength strategy with LISA and a ground-based interferometer can detect about 10 (a few) SOBHB events for which the accretion rate can be measured at 50% (10%) level. In all cases, the sky position can be identified within much less than 0.4 deg2 uncertainty. Likewise, accretion at ≳100% of the Eddington rate can be measured in IMBHBs up to redshift z ≈ 0.1, and the position of these sources can be identified within less than

uncertainty. Altogether, a detection of SOBHBs or IMBHBs would allow for targeted searches of electromagnetic counterparts to black-hole mergers in gas-rich environments with future X-ray detectors (such as Athena) and/or radio observatories (such as SKA).
