What Content in Early Childhood Education for Sustainable Development is Present in Swedish Preschools?
Authors: Pramling Samuelsson Ingrid , Engdahl Ingrid , Ärlemalm-Hagsér Eva 
Published: September 2024

This article shares what Swedish preschool teachers are working with in the field of early childhood education for sustainable development (ESD) as emerged in talks with their children, aged two to five years. The tasks carried out as the basis for the present analyses were informal child talks about a topic related to sustainability that the teachers and children had worked with in practice. The teachers themselves chose what content to talk about. The 200 teachers participated in the Swedish research and development program Sustainable Preschool. The aim of the present study was to make visible the content of teacher-child talks about sustainable development in early childhood education. The research question is as follow: What content areas do teachers communicate about with children 2-5 years of age related to ESD? The teacher-child talks were initiated by the teachers, but through the use of interpretative content analysis the children's voices were also made visible. The main result is narratives about the content, the most common topics being recycling, growing plants, and animals, areas which have long been common topics in Swedish preschools. For many preschools, however, the talks show an integration of transformative and transactional perspectives in how the content was handled together with the children. ESD in early education in Sweden is no longer dominated by the environmental dimension, as earlier content studies have shown; a new common content relates to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.7 regarding sustainable lifestyles and human rights and sustainability is a long process, founded in empowerment, action competence, and changed policy.

Metarregras de coerência na tecnodiscursividade
Authors: Bezerra de Sá Kleiane , Guedes da Nóbrega Braga Jarina , de Andrade Sousa João Pedro 
Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, cuja fundamentação teórica se pauta pelos postulados da Linguística Textual (LT) e sua interface com a perspectiva pós-dualista da linguagem (PAVEAU, 2021), objetivamos investigar como as metarregras de coerência, continuidade, progressão, articulação e não contradição (CHAROLLES 1978; COSTA VAL, 2006) são atualizadas na tecnodiscursividade, bem como se relacionam às tipologias de comentários propostas por Paveau (2021), os quais podem ser identificados em quatro grandes categorias: relacional, conversacional, deslocado e compartilhado. Alinhamo-nos à atual perspectiva de texto da LT (CAVALCANTE et al., 2019, 2022), que o compreende a partir da relação entre fatores tecnológicos e linguageiros nas produções textuais em ambiente digital on-line, para defender que a construção de sentidos ocorre pelos mesmos parâmetros. Esta pesquisa se desenvolve no âmbito do PIBIC/IFCE (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica) e parte da conceituação de gênero (MARCHUSCHI, 2008), para apontar em que medida o comentário, mantém suas características em um contexto pré-digital e se modifica com as potencialidades tecnodiscursivas. Para isso, analisamos 30 comentários e respostas de comentários de uma postagem do perfil G1 no Instagram, observando a manifestação das metarregras nas tipologias de comentários. A relevância do trabalho é suscitada pelo fato de ainda existir uma carência de trabalhos descritivos sobre os denominados gêneros nativos digitais e a construção de sentidos.

Demonstrating the use of UNSEEN climate data for hydrological applications: case studies for extreme floods and droughts in England
Authors: Kay Alison L. , Dunstone Nick , Kay Gillian , Bell Victoria A. , Hannaford Jamie 
Published: September 2024

Abstract. Meteorological and hydrological hazards present challenges to people and ecosystems worldwide, but the limited length of observational data means that the possible extreme range is not fully understood. Here, a large ensemble of climate model data is combined with a simple grid-based hydrological model to assess unprecedented but plausible hydrological extremes in the current climate across England. Two case studies are selected – dry (summer 2022) and wet (autumn 2023) – with the hydrological model initialised from known conditions and then run forward for several months using the large climate ensemble. The modelling chain provides a large set of plausible events including extremes outside the range from use of observed data, with the lowest flows around 28 % lower on average for the summer 2022 drought study and the highest flows around 42 % higher on average for the autumn 2023 flood study. The temporal evolution and spatial dependence of extremes are investigated, including the potential timescale of the recovery of flows to normal levels and the chance of persistent extremes. Being able to plan for such events could help improve the resilience of water supply systems to drought and improve flood risk management and incident response.
Analyzing the Nexus of Institutional and Individual Factors on Students' Willingness for Online Learning among Universities Students
Authors: Mughal Indra , Mughal Doolah Darya Khan , Shaikh Hira Rani , Hussain Faheem ul 
Published: September 2024

The reasons why students choose online learning at educational institutions are investigated in this qualitative and inductive study. The researchers used a triangulation strategy that comprised documentation, participant observation, and semi-structured interviews with undergraduate and graduate students from three different universities to guarantee the results were accurate and reliable. By examining the information gathered from various techniques, the research aims to provide insightful insights into the decision-making process of students who choose to learn online. Grounded theory was used in our study to manually examine the data and create three categories: empirical themes, theoretical concepts and theoretical dimensions. Our research looked at the aspects that contribute to the climate of online learning and how they affect students' desire to utilize it. One of our most important findings was that both institutional and individual variables affect students' willingness to utilize online learning. In addition, online learning has been important, individual factors that are computer anxiety, student engagement and subjective norms becoming important factors to influence student’s willingness. Students understand themselves as having benefitted from online learning and they believe this benefit extending beyond their students lives. Respondents were in view that online learning has certain boundaries so students develop their competencies and avoid challenges that would prevent them from using online learning like computer anxiety. Furthermore, the impact of online learning is not only predicated upon the students' willingness to take an active role, but also greatly affected by institutional factors. These factors include the attributes of the system, including the level of design and user-friendliness of the online platform, as well as the technical and equipment readiness of the institution.
Good Red Dog: The Long Term Economic Impact of Mining Activity in Rural Alaska
Authors: Guettabi Mouhcine 
Published: September 2024

While resource booms in rural areas have the potential to transform communities, they also raise questions about the distribution and sustainability of the benefits/costs in both the short and long run. We estimate the long term effects of the Red Dog mine, an Alaska mine in the Northwest Arctic borough, on a variety of economic outcomes. We find suggestive evidence of immediate and long lasting effects of the mine on wages as well as evidence of increases in employment and reductions in government dependence. These findings suggest that even in the absence of pre-conditions to maximize the multiplier effects, the borough’s attempts to internalize the wealth generated by the mine have been successful because of agreements that prioritized local employment and revenues. This model could be potentially be implemented by other rural communities with newfound resource riches.

Gilles Kepel: Impish Like Voltaire
Authors: Salameh Franck 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Highlighting the two most recent books of French political scientist and philologist Gilles Kepel, this article follows the author’s four-decades-long intellectual journey, from his days as a doctoral student excavating Egypt’s Muslim Brothers in the late 1970s, to his early retirement from Paris’s École Normale Supérieure as a seasoned “elder statesman” of Arab and Islamic Studies in the aftermath of October 7, 2023. A gifted Arabist and prolific polyglot, Kepel is a rarity among public intellectuals, able to intelligibly articulate the complexities of our times’ Islam and Islamism with both Voltairean witty erudition,1 and epistemic modesty. As with the bulk of Kepel’s work, the books under consideration in this article probe contemporary Islam, and the challenges it poses to modern Western and Middle Eastern societies, with deliberation and discernment, bringing to bear a world of historical, theological, and philological knowledge, away from our times internet clicks, soundbites, and memes.
The Face of the Future: An Affective Mental Time Traveler in Saul Bellow’s “A Father-to-Be”
Authors: Tong Yanfang , Shen Ting 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
This article focuses on a future-oriented Janus face portrayed in Saul Bellow’s short story “A Father-to-Be,” arguing that it builds an exceptional prospective fictional mind in Bellow’s writing with a great emphasis on emotion. Drawing on the “Janus hypothesis,” the article examines how the protagonist’s emotional and imaginative mind interprets the past and processes the present based on a gloomy anticipation of the future, while some previous literary studies on the memory-imagination cognition emphasize the imaginativeness of memory. Affective narratology is largely involved as the supportive explanatory framework in the analysis of the narrative style. The authors approach the structure of the entire story by regarding it as an emotion story and attempt to reveal the aesthetic value of its core narrative by taking emotion both as the force of character forming and as rhetoric.
Intranasal Fentanyl Versus Morphine in Fracture Reduction in a Pediatric Trauma Center
Authors: Bisso Raoul , Tielli Alexandra , Lopes Anne-Aurelie 
Published: September 2024

Purpose:
Pain management in orthopaedic manipulation in the emergency department (ED) is crucial to decrease fracture reduction performed in the operating room. This study compared intranasal fentanyl (INF) with oral morphine in time of care and effectiveness on pain during the reduction of bone fractures in a pediatric trauma center.

Methods:
A before-and-after INF implementation study was conducted in a pediatric ED with a trauma center on children with a confirmed displaced closed fracture on radiographs with reduction and casting performed in the ED. The time of care, time for sufficient analgesia, effectiveness on pain, and tolerance were compared between both analgesics in 3 consecutive phases.

Results:
77 children were included: 31 children received oral morphine and 46 INF. The time of care was shorter in the INF group (150 [111 to 193] minutes versus 215 [155 to 240], P = 0.01) as the time for sufficient analgesia (10 [9 to 13] minutes versus 80 [53 to 119], P < 0.001) with a higher pain reduction after a dose of INF (3 [0 to 4] versus 6 [3 to 7], P < 0.001) and less dose requirement (P = 0.002). Although pain scores were similar at arrival in both groups (P = 0.15), the pain was significantly lower before and during the procedure in the INF group and equivalent after the procedure (2 [0 to 4] versus 3 [0 to 5], P = 0.02, 3 [1 to 5] versus 7 [3 to 9], P < 0.001, and 1 [0 to 2] in both groups, P = 0.87, respectively). Keeping pain levels low during the procedure in the INF group allowed the extension to lower limb fracture reductions (P = 0.04). No serious adverse events were reported.

Conclusion:
INF reduces the time to obtain sufficient analgesia and time of care, with good effectiveness maintained during the procedure in fracture reduction, allowing the extension to lower limb fractures. Thus, this rapid and efficient analgesia facilitates orthopaedic care in the pediatric ED that would otherwise require to be reduced in the operating room under general anesthesia.

Published: September 2024

Jagung adalah komoditas andalan nasional yang potensial dalam rangka menuju kemandirian pangan serta meningkatkan pendapatan petani. Paper ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi ketersediaan jagung di Indonesia pada tahun 2017-2020 serta membantu mengidentifikasi variabel penunjang serta kegiatan-kegiatan yang diperlukan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan jagung. Paper ini menggunakan model sistem dinamik ketersediaan jagung yaitu model causal loop diagrams dan stock and flow diagrams. Hasil dari pengolahan data serta analisis dan pembahasan yang dilakukan dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa target pemerintah untuk menutup impor pada tahun 2008 dengan melihat potensi sumberdaya yang dimiliki Indonesia sangat memungkinkan. Peningkatan konsumsi yang tidak dapat ditekan akan terus mengalami kenaikan tapi dapat diimbangi oleh peningkatan produksi apabila upaya-upaya yang dilakukan dalam peningkatan produksi dapat dalam terlaksana dengan baik. Pemerintah dan parlemen harus memiliki political will yang kuat dan konsisten dalam mengembangkan enabling environments.
