Magnetic Collapse and Insulator-Metal Transitions in Some 3D Metal Oxides Under High Pressures
Authors: Lyubutin Igor S. , Gavriliuk Alexander G. , Struzhkin Viktor 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn the systems with strong electron correlations, many theories predict the high-pressure-induced dielectric-metal transition, which is followed by collapse of localized magnetic moment and structural phase transition. In this report, summary results of many last experiments on the influence of high pressure on the magnetic and crystal structure as well on the electronic and transport properties of 3d metal oxides is presented. Along with X-ray diffraction, optical absorption, Raman scattering and electroresistivity measurements, several synchrotron radiation techniques have also been applied to perform the high-pressure experiments with compound iron oxides having different crystal structures.
The challenges and potential options to meet the peak electricity demand in Mauritius
Authors: Elahee Khalil 
Published: June 2019

This paper reviews the current challenges facing Mauritius in terms of meeting peak electricity demand. As a fast-developing island-economy with a very high population density, this is a crucial issue. The more so that it imports 80% of its energy requirements in terms of fossil fuels, relies significantly on tourism and needs to protect its fragile ecosystems. The nature of the peak electricity demand and its evolution is firstly analysed. Reference is made to past scenarios for electricity supply, the obstacles to their implementation and their relevance in terms of sustainability. The forecasts underpinning the latter scenarios are found to be over-estimated. Demand-Side Management projects are discussed and their potential to promote an alternative scenario based on revised forecasts are discussed. Hence a new Maurice Ile Durable (Mauritius Sustainable Island, MID) scenario is proposed in view of stabilising the peak demand, reducing the rate of increase of total electricity demand and making the capacity margin positive. The newly-devised scenario is not only more sustainable but also addresses several political and socio-economic issues to bring holistic win-win solutions. Institutional and regulatory reforms as well as a relevant Business Framework are also important in order to meet the challenges of MID. The new scenario relies only on existing technology with an excellent track-record and provides the transition to a more sustainable future.
The external costs of coal mining: the case of collieries supplying Kusile power station
Authors: Nkambule Nonophile P. , Blignaut James N. 
Published: June 2019

The aim of this paper was to quantify the external costs of mining and transporting coal to the Kusile coal-fired power station in eMalahleni. Monetary values were estimated for a number of impacts including its contribution to climate change, human health effects of classic air pollutants, mortality and morbidity, impacts of water pollution and water consumption. The results of the study disclosed that coal mining and transportation will inflict costs to both the environment and humans of between R6 538 million and R12 690 million per annum, or between 20.24 c/kWh and 39.3 c/kWh sent out. The external effect of water consumption (opportunity costs of water) constitutes over 90% of the total cost, followed by global warming damage costs and ecosystem services lost due to coal mining. The estimated externality cost is approximately between 50% and 100% of the current average electricity price.

Authors: Karnchanasorn Rudruidee , Grdinovac Kristine , Smith Nichole , Jani Bhairvi , Chen G. John 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Thyroid nodules are common and fine-needleaspiration (FNA) biopsy is the standard of care for workupto exclude thyroid cancer. In this study, we examinedthe discrepancy between daily practice and recommendeddiagnostic approach for management of thyroid nodules,based on history taking, laboratory, and imaging studies.
Methods. This was a retrospective chart review of 199 patientswho had ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(UGFNA) performed at a Midwest academic medicalcenter from January 2010 to December 2011. Thequality measures were selected based on recommended clinicalpractice guidelines, including family history, history of neckradiation, neck symptoms, TSH test, and thyroid ultrasound.
Results. The majority of patients were Caucasian females. Familyhistory of thyroid cancer and childhood neck radiation exposurewere documented in 79 subjects (40%) and 76 subjects(38%), respectively. Neck symptoms were documented in mostsubjects, including dysphonia (56.8%), dysphagia (69.9%), anddyspnea (41.2%). Most subjects had a TSH measured and an ultrasoundperformed prior to biopsy (75% and 86%, respectively).
Conclusions. It appears there is a gap between current patientcare and clinical practice guidelines for management of thyroidnodules. Clinical history and ultrasound features for risk stratificationof UGFNA were lacking, which could reflect physicians’unfamiliarity with the guidelines. As thyroid nodules are common,enhancing knowledge of the current guidelines could improveappropriate work-up. Further studies are needed to identifyfactors associated with the poor compliance with clinical guidelinesin management of thyroid nodules. KS J Med 2017;10(1):1-2.
A Preliminary Study of the Attitudes and Barriers of Family Physicians to Prescribing HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis
Authors: Ojile Nicholas , Sweet Donna , Kallail K. James 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Attitudes of individuals who provide HIV caretowards prescribing Preexposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to at-riskpopulations have been studied, but few studies indicate if familyphysicians would be willing to prescribe PrEP as most familyphysicians do not specialize in HIV medicine. Few data existon the perceived barriers preventing family physicians fromprescribing PrEP. The purpose of this project was to assess theattitudes and perceived barriers of family physicians in Kansastowards prescribing PrEP to high risk patient populations.
Methods. This study was a descriptive, observational,and cross-sectional survey of family physicians who respondto email surveys issued through the Family MedicineResearch and Data Information Office (FM RADIO).
Results. Fifty-three percent of family physicians take a sexualhistory on new patients less than frequently, and only35% frequently ask about the use of safe sex practices. Only29% frequently ask if the patient has sex with men, women,or both. Seventy-six percent of respondents would be willingto prescribe PrEP to men who have sex with men, and anequal percentage would be willing to prescribe to heterosexuallyactive men and women who are at substantial risk of acquiringHIV. While 59% of participants agreed that PrEP belongsin the primary care domain of treatment, 71% agreedthat they had limited or no knowledge of PrEP guidelines.
Conclusions. This preliminary study indicated a need for increasedfamily physician screening of new patients for high risksexual behaviors who would be eligible for PrEP. The limitedknowledge of PrEP guidelines and its use in clinical practiceare significant limiting factors to increasing prescribing practicesin the family medicine community rather than a perceivedethical dilemma of prescribing PrEP to men who have sex withmen. As a result, an increase in continuing medical educationabout PrEP could significantly increase its prescribing inthe family medicine community. KS J Med 2017;10(2):40-42.
Danza en carnaval, encuentro de saberes
Authors: Avendaño Peña Carolina , Eraso Caicedo Luis Antonio 
Published: June 2019

El artículo es una síntesis de resultados de la investigación “La experiencia del cuerpo en la escuela, un análisis de prácticas pedagógicas alrededor del Carnaval de Negros y Blancos (CNB) de la ciudad de San Juan de Pasto-Colombia”[1]. En el análisis fueron abordados los saberes presentes en procesos de formación escolar vinculados con el CNB a partir de la noción de práctica pedagógica, desde la cual son propuestos los momentos y las estrategias para el camino metodológico.
La investigación se ubica dentro del paradigma cualitativo, con un enfoque hermenéutico que utiliza el análisis del discurso para identificar los saberes y las relaciones que inciden en la configuración de corporalidades procedentes de propuestas artísticas en danza para el CNB. Esta mención parte de vincular la investigación en artes con las herramientas que posibilitan las ciencias sociales para develar el tejido de significaciones, lugares y pugnas epistemológicas alrededor de los saberes.
La relación entre maestro, escuela y saberes dentro del acontecimiento del carnaval, además de responder a los compromisos colectivos para la preservación de la manifestación cultural, aborda una posibilidad de leer la escuela desde otras descripciones y de resignificar los saberes que en ella se generan y aquellos vinculados con las prácticas artísticas. Como parte de los hallazgos del estudio, surgen tensiones alrededor de la escuela educativa y la escuela del carnaval, el lugar del maestro en la práctica pedagógica y el saber del carnaval en su tránsito al saber escolar.

A study on influence of iron deficiency anaemia over HbA1c levels
Authors: Kalairajan Sankar , K. Vijaya Durairaj , A. R. Malathy 
Published: June 2019

Background: Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a glycated form of haemoglobin reflects average plasma glucose over the previous 8 to 12 weeks. HbA1c can be affected by multiple non-glycaemic parameters. Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is one among them which is the most common type of anaemia in India. However, reports on the effects of iron deficiency anaemia on HbA1c levels are inconsistent. Hence we conducted a study to find out the influence of iron deficiency anaemia over HbA1c levels. Methods: 120 patients confirmed to have iron deficiency anaemia were enrolled in this study. HbA1c levels were measured at baseline and 3 months after treatment, and these values were compared with those in the control population.Results: The mean baseline HbA1c level in anaemic patients (4.62%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (5.45%, P<0.001). A significant increase was observed in the patients HbA1c levels at 3 months after treatment (5.82%, P<0.001). There was a significant correlation observed between haemoglobin and HbA1c level (Coefficient of correlation=0.26, P<0.01) in the study group before correction.Conclusions: In contrast to the observations of previous studies, ours showed that HbA1c levels increased with treatment of iron deficiency anaemia. This could be attributable to nutritional deficiency, racial-ethnic variations and/or certain unknown variables. Further studies are warranted.
Educação e movimentos sociais: uma crítica histórico-social da ação estratégica do terceiro setor e suas implicações político-pedagógicas
Authors: Lima Marcos Roberto de 
Published: June 2019

O início dos anos de 1960 foi marcado por uma forte efervescênciapopular, despertando a animosidade de setores conservadores da so-ciedade brasileira que desde os anos de 1950 já orquestravam um gol-pe civil-militar. Muitas iniciativas de educação popular, desenvolvidasneste contexto, propunham não somente alfabetizar, mas transformara estrutura econômica e social, projeto esse que adquiriu forte resso-nância diante do populismo de Jango. Foi a partir do Golpe de 1964que esse projeto conservador passou a ser aplicado, através de açõesoficiais que procuraram estrangular as iniciativas populares contestató-rias, abrindo espaço para a emergência de uma sociedade civil contro-lada pela ação estratégica do “terceiro setor”. Este artigo procura realizar uma crítica aos limites do processo de re-democratização no Brasil, apontando a pertinência da educação comoum dos elementos articuladores das lutas sociais na construção de umaalternativa hegemônica para os trabalhadores.

Origem da educação no MST: da ocupação ao assentamento – as dimensões do aprendizado fora das lides da escola
Authors: Machado Vitor 
Published: June 2019

Este trabalho trata de demonstrar que as experiências de luta pela re-forma agrária serviram de base para a origem da educação escolar doMST (Movimento Sem-Terra), bem como para a elaboração da sua pri-meira proposta pedagógica para o ensino de 1a a 4a séries (atual ensinofundamental), aplicadas inicialmente, nas escolas de acampamentos eassentamentos, entre o início de 1980 e 1990. Neste aspecto, o textoreflete sobre as características pedagógicas do aprendizado adquiridopelos sem-terra fora dos limites da escola, durante o processo de or-ganização pela conquista da terra, o qual influenciou diretamente aspropostas educacionais e as diretrizes do ensino executadas nas escolasdo MST. As discussões apontam também que o modelo de educação ede escola, proposto pelo MST, não pode ser analisado separadamente do contexto social de luta pela terra, no qual os trabalhadores ruraisestão inseridos. Assim, toda a trajetória histórica, da qual o sem-terraparticipa, deve ser entendida como um processo histórico que contri-bui significativamente para sua formação como sujeito social.

Ouve-se muitas críticas no que diz respeito ao RPG – Roleplayinggame. Muitas pessoas que já ouviram falar taxam como um jogo deviolência, que pode causar perturbações na criança. Mas será que aspessoas realmente conhecem tal ferramenta na área do ensino-apren-dizagem? Fala-se muito em educação para libertação, na qual o alunotorna-se um ser crítico, um ser pensante, que pode vir a contribuirpara a sociedade onde está inserido, mas será que nossos educadoresestão realmente formando seres com este pensamento? O sujeito pre-cisa participar vivenciando o que está sendo exposto em sala de aula.Além de explorar a interpretação de papéis, o RPG é uma perfeita ferramenta para trabalhar a socialização e a interatividade dos alunosem sala de aula. Temos como base muitos teóricos que tiveram suas in-dispensáveis participações e inspirações no meio educacional fazendocom que o educador pudesse vir a enxergar o aluno como indivíduoativo, participativo. O potencial do RPG está em unir à teoria a prática,aplicar atividades com base no conteúdo para fortificar o aprendizadoda criança, envolvendo o aluno e motivando o professor, criando estainteratividade entre ambos, fazendo da aula algo colorido, nem preto,nem branco. Esta dinâmica acaba por gerar uma educação não formal.

The Word Collector by P.H. Reynolds
Authors: Ahmed Komel 
Published: June 2019

Reynolds, Peter H. The Word Collector. Scholastic, 2018.
The story, written and illustrated by Peter Reynolds, is about a boy named Jerome and his discovery of words. While other children collect stamps, coins, rocks, and art, Jerome collects words. Words "catch his attention" and "jump at him." He collects "short and sweet words" and "two-syllable treats." He fills his scrapbook with all the "marvelous" words he hears, reads, and sees. But once while he’s transporting his collection, he slips and his words all get mixed up. In this jumbled up state, he starts noticing how they can be strung together to make poems and songs, and how he can use them in simple and powerful phrases. In the end, he shares his collection with children in the valley and he’s left with no words to describe how happy that makes him.
The accompanying illustrations are bright, colourful, and detailed in terms of visualizing the text. With illustrations showing diversity in characters, dialogues are written in speech bubbles while Jerome’s "words" are shown on the pieces of rectangular paper he writes them down on. The jacket illustrations show Jerome standing with a bright blue background behind him and his numerous words flying around him. The inside hardcover is yellow with only the word slips jumbled around. The last page in the book is Peter Reynold’s own words strung together to give an inspiring message: “Reach for your own words. Tell the world who you are. And how you will make it better.”
Inspiring and easy to read, this is a delightful book to help children discover the magic and power of words. Teachers and parents can help children in activities inspired by the book to play around with words and build their vocabulary.

She Persisted Around the World by C. Clinton
Authors: Socha Leone 
Published: June 2019

Clinton, Chelsea. She Persisted Around the World. Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger, Philomel Books, 2018.
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger give us a walk through historic and present day women showing us each woman’s great submission to the world we live in. Whether it be through overcoming their own disability, overcoming others’ views on placement of women, or overcoming another’s thoughts on what women are allowed to do, the main focus is on the fact that they persisted. Using these circumstances that could have gobbled them up, they chose to take the road less travelled and fight for what they believed in—these are stories of women who did not give up but persisted through whatever was trying to hold them back. This book gives us short stories about strong women from the past, like Marie Curie, all the way to amazing women that we are lucky enough to have with us today, like Malala Yousafzai and J.K. Rowling. This shows us that we can look to the past for heroes, but sometimes there are heroes who can be found in our own generation. Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger did a beautiful job displaying beautiful, imagination igniting pictures and thought-inducing stories that describe the women, what they persisted through, and what they accomplished. Some women even received the Nobel Peace Prize for their contributions.
The beautiful drawings showcase each woman’s struggle to persist through her personal issue. Some are simple drawings and others are intricate interpretations that bring their story to life. The illustrations show people from different areas of the world and it even includes a Canadian connection. As Canadians, we can see our faces in this book as a mirror and can see it does not matter what colour our skin is, what area of the world we come from, or what our family circumstances are, we just need to be true to our beliefs and true to our voice in our world. This book empowers young girls to become powerful women.
As the author, Chelsea Clinton, says eloquently at the end of the book for our girls to “speak up, rise up, dream big. These women did that and more. They persisted and so should you.”
