This research is entitled ‘investigating teachers and students’ views on debate activities as a tool to improve English-speaking skills. Its main objective was to examine the role of debate activities in the English-speaking proficiency of lower-level secondary school students in Rulindo District. The study was guided by the theory of Vygotsky, titled Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). To achieve the current study’s objective, a technique of questionnaires that contains open-ended and closed-ended questions was used to gather needed information. The research design used was a descriptive research design with a mixed method of data interpretation. The target population was 598, including students, teachers, and school authorities. For the learners’ sampling technique, we purposefully chose all students who participated in debate activities who were equal to 57 students. In this regard, 72 respondents (4 school leaders, 11 teachers, and 57 students) were surveyed. Findings revealed different benefits of participating in debates, including but not limited to acquiring speaking skills, improving critical thinking skills, and enhancing teamwork skills and collaboration. In addition, some challenges are faced, such as anxiety, nervousness, and limited language proficiency. Some strategies to improve oral skills in English, as proposed by the surveyed respondents, include providing practice opportunities and offering constructive feedback. Students were recommended to give value to English, the medium of instruction, and the official language and make efforts to practice through different techniques to learn and improve their oral skills in English. Teachers were recommended to define clear learning objectives for debate activities in English learning and help students make real-world connections through debate.

Abstract. Atmospheric radiative transfer models are extensively used in Earth observation to simulate radiative processes occurring in the atmosphere and to provide both upwelling and downwelling synthetic brightness temperatures for ground-based, airborne, and satellite radiometric sensors. For a meaningful comparison between simulated and observed radiances, it is crucial to characterize the uncertainty in such models. The purpose of this work is to quantify the uncertainty in radiative transfer models due to uncertainty in the associated spectroscopic parameters and to compute simulated brightness temperature uncertainties for millimeter- and submillimeter-wave channels of downward-looking satellite radiometric sensors (MicroWave Imager, MWI; Ice Cloud Imager, ICI; MicroWave Sounder, MWS; and Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder, ATMS) as well as upward-looking airborne radiometers (International Submillimetre Airborne Radiometer, ISMAR, and Microwave Airborne Radiometer Scanning System, MARSS). The approach adopted here is firstly to study the sensitivity of brightness temperature calculations to each spectroscopic parameter separately, then to identify the dominant parameters and investigate their uncertainty covariance, and finally to compute the total brightness temperature uncertainty due to the full uncertainty covariance matrix for the identified set of relevant spectroscopic parameters. The approach is applied to a recent version of the Millimeter-wave Propagation Model, taking into account water vapor, oxygen, and ozone spectroscopic parameters, though the approach is general and can be applied to any radiative transfer code. A set of 135 spectroscopic parameters were identified as dominant for the uncertainty in simulated brightness temperatures (26 for water vapor, 109 for oxygen, none for ozone). The uncertainty in simulated brightness temperatures is computed for six climatology conditions (ranging from sub-Arctic winter to tropical) and all instrument channels. Uncertainty is found to be up to few kelvins [K] in the millimeter-wave range, whereas it is considerably lower in the submillimeter-wave range (less than 1 K).
Exploring the influence of spatio-temporal scale differences in Coupled Data Assimilation

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Identifying the optimal strategy for initializing coupled climate prediction systems is challenging due to the spatio-temporal scale separation and disparities in the observational network. We aim to clarify when strongly coupled data assimilation (SCDA) is preferable to weakly coupled data assimilation (WCDA). We use a two-components coupled Lorenz-63 system and the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) to compare WCDA and SCDA for diverse spatio-temporal scale separations and observational networks – only in the atmosphere, the ocean, or both components. When both components are observed, SCDA and WCDA yield similar performances. However, sometimes SCDA performs marginally worse due to its higher sensitivity (as opposed to WCDA) to key approximations in the EnKF – linear analysis update and sampling error. When observations are only in one of the components, SCDA systematically outperforms WCDA. The spatio-temporal scale separation determines SCDA's performance in this scenario and the largest improvements are found when the observed component has a smaller spatial scale. This suggests that SCDA of fast atmospheric observations can potentially improve the large-slow ocean component. Conversely, observations of the fine ocean can improve the large atmosphere at a comparable temporal scale. However, when both components are highly chaotic, and the observed component's spatial scale is the largest, SCDA does not improve over WCDA. In such a case, the cross-updates may become too sensitive to data assimilation approximations.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. The modern state of the mantle and its evolution on geological timescales is of widespread importance for the Earth sciences. For instance, it is generally agreed that mantle flow is manifest in topographic and drainage network evolution, glacio-eustasy and in the distribution of sediments. There now exists a variety of theoretical approaches to predict histories of mantle convection and its impact on surface deflections. A general goal is to make use of observed deflections to identify Earth-like simulations and constrain the history of mantle convection. Several important insights into the role of radial and non-radial viscosity variations, gravitation, and the importance of shallow structure already exist. Here we seek to bring those insights into a single framework to elucidate the relative importance of popular modelling choices on predicted instantaneous vertical surface deflections. We start by comparing results from numeric and analytic approaches to solving the equations of motion that are ostensibly parameterised to be as-similar-as-possible. Resultant deflections can vary by ∼10 %, increasing to ∼25 % when viscosity is temperature-dependent. Including self-gravitation and gravitational potential of the deflected surface are relatively small sources of discrepancy. However, spherical harmonic correlations between model predictions decrease dramatically with the excision of shallow structure to increasing depths, and when radial viscosity structure is modified. The results emphasise sensitivity of instantaneous surface deflections to density and viscosity anomalies in the upper mantle. They reinforce the view that a detailed understanding of lithospheric structure is crucial for relating mantle convective history to observations of vertical motions at Earth's surface.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Archives of composite weather radar images represent an invaluable resource to study the predictability of precipitation. In this paper, we compare two distinct approaches to construct empirical low-dimensional attractors from radar precipitation fields. In the first approach, the phase space variables of the attractor are defined using the domain-scale statistics of precipitation fields, such as the mean precipitation, fraction of rain, and spatial and temporal correlations. The second type of attractor considers the spatial distribution of precipitation and is built by principal component analysis (PCA). For both attractors, we investigate the density of trajectories in phase space, growth of errors from analogue states, and fractal properties. To represent different scales and climatic and orographic conditions, the analyses are done using multi-year radar archives over the continental United States (≈4000×4000 km2, 21 years) and the Swiss Alpine region (≈500×500 km2, 6 years).

Published: June 2024

This manuscript is prepared to deal with the comparative fluid flow and thermal transportation aspects of Casson Hybrid Nanofluid and Williamson Hybrid Nanofluid dispersed in the mixture of water and 30% C2H6O2 over an exponentially stretching cylinder. The suction effect, MHD effect, and the impact of variable thermal conductivity are also incorporated into the concurrent flow model. The spherical-shaped Ag and MoS2 are used as nanoparticles. It has been established that the shear stress rate and Nusselt number are lesser for Williamson hybrid nanofluid as compared to hybrid nanofluid, but the opposite is the trend for Casson Hybrid Nanofluid. Also, the skin friction coefficient is very high in Casson Hybrid Nanofluid in comparison to Williamson Hybrid Nanofluid. In addition to this, the thermal transfer rate is found to be enhanced by up to more than 4% in Casson Hybrid Nanofluid as compared to Williamson Hybrid Nanofluid for all the parameters.
Local manifestations of cross food allergy in children with clinical symptoms of respiratory allergy to birch pollen: solutions
Authors: Lepeshkova T. S. 
Published: June 2024

Introduction. According to modern data, Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) is most often formed by patients sensitized to the birch family: up to 73% of patients allergic to birch experienced OAS. 86% of them experience their oral symptoms year-round, which significantly affects the quality of life of these patients. The effectiveness of AIT in the treatment of respiratory allergy symptoms is beyond doubt, while the effect on the manifestations of cross-food allergies requires additional study.Objective. To study the clinical effectiveness of the formation of oral tolerance to fruits and vegetables under the influence of allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT) with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” (Stallergenes Greer, France).Material and methods. The study (prospective open comparative longitudinal) included 184 patients with respiratory allergy to birch pollen aged 5 to 16 years with confirmed sensitization to the major molecule (Bet v 1). Children of the main group (n = 134, 7.0 [5.0; 9.0] years) had OAS. Children from the comparison group (n = 50, 7.0 [6.0; 10.0] years) did not have OAS. A clinical examination, general clinical and allergological examinations were carried out for each child. Component allergy diagnostics was performed using a multiplex panel (ISAC-112, ImmunoCAP) for children with OAS (n = 40) who had multiple manifestations of cross-food allergies. Patients of both groups (n = 184) received a three-year course of AIT with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen”.Results. In patients with OAS, it was possible to achieve the formation of oral tolerance (total or partial) to fresh vegetables and fruits in 88.81% (n = 119, p = 0.000). There was a decrease in the intensity and duration of respiratory allergy symptoms during the pollination season, and the need for pharmacotherapy after a three-year course of AIT Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” in children of both groups.Conclusions: three-year AIT with the allergen Staloral® “Birch pollen allergen” is able to form oral tolerance in children with cross food allergies to PR-10 proteins of vegetables and fruits.
The impact of unemployment on alcohol consumption: A panel data analysis
Authors: Nkomo Nomusa Yolanda , Adanlawo Eyitayo Francis 
Published: June 2024

Several books and articles published in the last few decades have looked at how alcohol use has affected the job market globally. This study attempted to determine how specific labour market shocks (such as losing a job) influence alcohol intake on an individual level to clarify the existing research. We went deeper into the subject of whether or not losing one's job increases the likelihood of alcohol abuse. We estimated models with fixed effects using panel data at the individual level from the National Income Dynamic Survey's Waves 1 and 5. (NIDS) to account for possible omitted variable bias. We calculated the gender-specific impacts of alterations in work status on the total intake of alcohol, occurrences of binge drinking and the diagnosis of alcohol addiction and dependency. The results consistently demonstrate a favorable and substantial impact of unemployment on drinking habits and these findings remain strong even when subjected to various robustness tests. The study concludes that being unemployed for more than a year causes people to consume less alcohol, perhaps as a result of financial stress. It is impossible to determine a precise cause-and-effect link but high unemployment rates may contribute to mental health problems including stress and depression which might be detrimental to public health. It is advisable to take into account the individual expenses and consequences related to alcohol consumption when making fiscal policy decisions aimed at boosting the economy particularly during economic recessions.
