Second Language Learning for Sustainable Development: Barriers for Learners in Rural Communities
Authors: Mwamakula Amani G. , Magashi Shingwa 
Published: January 2024

Learning of second language for sustainable development is defined as learning language that changes skills, knowledge, values and attitudes to build more sustainable and just societies for all (UN 2015: UNESCO 2017). It would not be preposterous to opine that language and communication play a paramount role in the quest for development, be it human, social, political, technological and any other form of development. Looking in Tanzania as a country, the plurality of ethnic languages through information flows, undoubtedly constitutes a barrier to effective human development processes. It draws on data from students in rural communities in one of the ward secondary schools in Tanzania. The study specifically sought to find out the type of pronunciation errors that students frequently commit and teachers views on how pronunciation errors can be addressed. Transfer of Learning Theory by Thorndike (1923) and Contrastive Analysis Theory by Charles Fries (1945) informed the collection and analysis of the qualitative data. Thus, data were collected through interviews with teachers and students and pronunciation tests administered through a wordlist and analyzed qualitatively. Seven teachers in three ward secondary schools and 35 students were involved. The findings of the study revealed that mispronunciation of English words was due to the difference in sounds between student’s mother tongue and English language. Moreover, the findings revealed that students lacked linguistic exposure as most of them meet English at school and constantly use Kiswahili and mother tongues at home. Therefore, teachers become the chief language input providers. The study recommends that teachers should take note of these differences in sounds and limited exposure to English language when designing and implementing lessons in classrooms since they are the main language input providers.

The study sought to evaluate the impact of student teachers’ involvement in Teacher Colleges’ quality assurance processes on 21st century skills in Tanzania. The study was guided by students’ involvement theory. The main was pragmatism paradigm and students’ involvement was adopted as a theoretical framework. Data were gathered through questionnaires and interviews. Results were presented in mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistic measures. The participants felt crucial for student teachers to be adequately involved in all the six quality assurance domains. This involvement positively and significantly predicted the development of the most of 21st century skills. The study concludes that urgent need to involve student teachers in internal quality assurance processes is an inevitable attempt for the development of 21st century skills required for their teaching profession. Other researchers may develop a scale to measure the 21st century skills among student teachers in Tanzanian context.

FACTORS OF INTERFERENCE IN LABORATORY INVESTIGATIONS: HEMOLYSIS, ICTERUS, LIPEMIA
Authors: Maksymyuk H. , Boykiv N. , Martianova O. 
Published: January 2024

The accuracy of laboratory investigation results depends on various factors, including interfer- ence factors. Additionally, it is worth noting that a significant number of samples are photometrical- ly measured in the wavelength range of 350 to 600 nm, which corresponds to the absorption peak of many interferents.
In laboratories where the process of sample rejection is established based on serum indices (color scale) and specific cutoff points for samples showing hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia, the issuance of falsely elevated/decreased investigation results to the clinic is avoided. The declared criteria for sample rejection should comply with the recommendations of CLSI CA-56A and CLSI EP 07 standards.
The majority of errors in the preanalytical stage are caused by hemolysis. All hemolyzed sam- ples with a concentration of free hemoglobin equal to or greater than 10.0 g/L should be rejected, and the laboratory report should indicate the reason for rejection as "Hemolyzed sample. Resampling is required." Each laboratory establishes its own cutoff point for free hemoglobin, bili- rubin and triglicerol concentration in the sample. This is because an increase in hemolysis index in serum/plasma leads to falsely increased levels of certain analytes (such as inorganic phosphorus, potassium, folic acid, magnesium, iron, urea, LDH, AST, ALT). Conversely, the concentration of albumin, bilirubin, glucose, sodium, and chloride in such samples is falsely decreased. The presence of icterus in samples is always indicative of a pathological process. The elevation of bilirubin con- centration in the sample will be reflected in the increase/decrease of analytes such as creatinine, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol, phosphorus, magnesium, urea, hormones (free triiodothyro-nine, testosterone, estradiol), and others. An increase in triglyceride and lipoprotein concentration in the sample significantly affects the levels of analytes such as phosphorus, creatinine, total protein and calcium.
The presence of hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia in samples affects the measurement of various analytes and, consequently, the results of laboratory investigations and patient safety. Laboratories should have a developed procedure for systematic identification of interfering agents and decision- making regarding the handling of such samples to ensure the reliability of obtained data.

Published: January 2024

Emergency situations (ES) of various genesis are accompanied by a change in the epidemic state of the territory and population, which requires the timely detection of an infectious striking factors (pathogenic biological agents and toxins) and non-infectious agents. The laboratory network is an important component in the emergency response system, which allows determining the etiology of infectious and parasitic diseases, treating of patients; directions of anti-epidemic support, effectiveness of measures.
The aim of the study is to evaluate modern models of laboratory support for the indication of pathogenic biological agents (PBA), the tasks of the laboratory service at the main stages of an emergency: readiness, response and recovery.
Laboratory diagnostics is an important component in the system of protection during emergencies, which ensures the detection of PBA and toxins, conducting clinical laboratory tests. The scope and directions of activity of the laboratory network are determined by the real situation and differ at the stages of readiness, response and recovery at ES.
The indication of PBA begins at the stage of carrying out sanitary-epidemiological reconnaissance in the affected territories. The PBA detection and identification can be carried out by the laboratory network of health care institutions in the emergency zone, mobile laboratories of various types, and the laboratory network outside the affected areas. The methods of antigens detection based on an immune capture assay (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, fluorescent microscopy), spectroscopy as well as PBA genomes (multiplex PCR) allows to verify the diagnoses of infectious patients in up to 2 hours. In the case of using lateral flow chromatography, it is advisable to use sets of rapid tests taking into account the group of infections: intestinal, respiratory, contact, blood. Normally is the use of other principles of kit selection: group of particularly dangerous infections; sexually transmitted infections; central nervous system infections, etc.
Cavus Foot in Soccer Players: Increased Prevalence in Experienced Players and Risk Factor for Injury
Authors: Ménard Anne-Laure , Begon Mickael , Barrette Justin , Nault Marie-Lyne 
Published: January 2024

Background: Foot type, especially cavus foot, is associated with foot and ankle soccer injuries, such as ankle sprains, ankle instability, and foot and ankle lateral injuries. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for foot and ankle injuries among soccer players.
Methods: Male and female soccer players, from beginners to semiprofessionals, aged between 10 and 40 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Players filled in questionnaires about their training and injury history. Clinical measurements included foot length, Foot Posture Index-6, and arch height flexibility. Each variable was dichotomized: age (<18 years versus ≥18 years), level of play (AA and below versus AAA and above), foot type (cavus or not), and injury. Injury occurrence was analyzed using χ2 tests between each group of variables, and significance was set at P < .05.
Results: A total of 277 players, including 81 females, volunteered; 147 were younger than 18 years and 180 were AA level or below. Cavus foot prevalence was 30%. In the cavus foot group, 51.8% of players had reached at least an AAA level compared with 27.8% in the normal-arched group (P < .001 [χ2]). Injuries were associated with a cavus foot type (P < .01 [χ2]) and with sex, age, or highest level played (P < .001 [χ2]).
Conclusions: This study identified a high prevalence of cavus foot among soccer players of all ages, with an increased prevalence among higher-level players. The injury risk factors were female sex, older age, playing at a higher level, and cavus feet.

Cassava In vitro regeneration is essentially influenced by exogen factors as well as explants nature. This work aimed to evaluate explants type and positions influence, phytohormone on cassava plantlets regeneration in modified MS media. The apex and nodes of the position 3, 5, and 7 were initiated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) based media supplemented with Gamborg B5 vitamins and growth regulators such as naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and zeatin (ZEAT) in different concentrations. The results indicated a significant difference (p=0.0001) among explants sprouted regarding the nodes position and the cultivar genotype during the time of culture. The highest rate of regenerated plantlets was found with nodes of position 5 (95.33%) followed respectively by nodes of the position 7 (93.33%), nodes of the position 3 (89.33%), and the apex (76%). Regarding the growth regulators, NAA (0.5 mg/l) + BAP (0.5 mg/l) combination was favorable for height growth (26.2cm), and leaves development (7.84 cm) in most of cultivars, whereas NAA (0.5 mg/l) + ZEAT (0.5 mg/l) combination was more favorable to rhizogenesis in overall cultivars. Among the cultivars, the best performance in stem height (26.2 cm), in leaf length (7.84 cm), and roots number (4.64) were observed with INA 1er cultivar. The cultivars RB89509, BEN 86052, and DOKU were less grown on MS supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of BAP or ZEAT. These findings could contribute of using nodes of the positions 5, 7 as potential explants and Zeatin for cassava plantlets rhizogenesis.
Holocene Palaeosalinity in a Maya Wetland, Belize, Inferred from the Microfaunal Assemblage

Published: October 2002

AbstractA 5.4-m sequence of peat and marl overlying a basal clay in a northern Belize wetland was studied to assess salinity changes over the past 7000 yr. The distribution of ostracods, gastropods, and foraminifers revealed initially freshwater conditions in a terrestrial wetland, changing to at least mesohaline conditions by about 5600 yr B.P. The mesohaline conditions corresponded to the formation of an open-water lagoon (and precipitation of a lacustrine marl) that was contemporaneous with rapidly rising sea level in the area. A mangrove peat filled the lagoon by 4800 yr B.P. probably as a result of increasingly shallow waters as sea level rise slowed and marl precipitation continued. A new lagoon began to form sometime after 3400 yr B.P. Freshwater ostracods and gastropods found in the marl of this lagoon suggest that it formed under near-limnetic conditions. Freshwater input likely resulted from massive deforestation by the Maya that began by 4400 yr B.P. Subsidence of the mangrove peat likely permitted the formation of a lagoon. A peat has filled the lagoon since at least 500 yr B.P.
Two Creeks Interstade Dated through Dendrochronology and AMS
Authors: Kaiser Klaus Felix 
Published: October 2002

AbstractDendrochronological analysis of fossil wood from Two Creeks, Wisconsin, reveals that the Two Creekan Intetstade lasted at least 252 yr. The sites crossdated by tree rings cover an area of about 970 km2. AMS determinations from the beginning and end of the chronology open a14C time window for the episode from 12,050 to 11,750 yr B.P. The interval is contemporaneous with the Older Dryas in northern Europe. The development of a forest covering at least 970 km2on the western shore of Lake Michigan indicates a water level about as low as in modern times. Glacier retreat must have opened drainage channels either through the Straits of Mackinac or via the Indian River Plateau into the eastern lakes. The beginning of the tree-ring chronology coincides with the peak of meltwater pulse 1A at 12,000 yr B.P. Increased amounts of meltwater seem to have disturbed the heat exchange between the waters and the atmosphere in the North Atlantic off the Gulf of St. Lawrence or affected the δ18O-ratio of the evaporation, causing the climatic or isotopic reversal of the Older Dryas in Greenland and northern Europe.
Late Quaternary Floodplain History of the Brazos River in East-Central Texas
Authors: Waters Michael R. , Nordt Lee C. 
Published: October 2002

AbstractThe floodplain along a 75-km segment of the Brazos River, traversing the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas, has a complex late Quaternary history. From 18,000 to 8500 yr B.P., the Brazos River was a competent meandering stream that migrated from one side of the floodplain to the other, creating a thick layer of coarse-grained lateral accretion deposits. After 8500 yr B.P., the hydrologic regime of the Brazos River changed. The river became an underfit meandering stream that repeatedly became confined within narrow and unstable meander belts that would occasionally avulse. Avulsion occurred four times; first at 8100 yr B.P., then at 2500 yr B.P., again around 500 yr B.P., and finally around 300 yr B.P. The depositional regime on the floodplain also changed after 8500 yr B.P., with floodplain construction dominated by vertical accretion. Most vertical accretion occurred from 8100 to 4200 yr B.P. and from 2500 to 1250 yr B.P. Two major and three minor periods of soil formation are documented in the floodplain sequence. The two most developed soils formed from 4200 to 2500 yr B.P. and from around 1250 to 500 yr B.P. These changes on the floodplain appear to be the result not of a single factor, but of the complex interplay among changes in climate, sediment yield, and intrinsic floodplain variables over time.
Intra‐industry effects of bank layoff announcements
Authors: Madura Jeff , Akhigbe Aigbe , Bartunek Kenneth S. 
Published: October 2002

AbstractBank layoffs have increased in recent years as a means of reducing operating expenses. To the extent that bank layoffs signal information about other banks, intra‐industry effects should occur. Our objective is to determine whether intra‐industry effects exist, and to explain the variation in intra‐industry effects following bank layoff announcements. Our analysis shows positive and significant intra‐industry effects, which are interpreted as negative information for the announcing bank, as competitors may be able to gain market share. The intra‐industry effects are more favorable when the banks announcing layoffs are in the same region as rival banks, and when banking industry earnings are relatively high.

Published: October 2002

AbstractEvent date methodology is used to estimate the impact of work stoppages on the expected profitability of Canadian firms listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Stoppages during collective bargaining decrease returns by 4.5%, whereas illegal stoppages during the term of a collective agreement have little effect on expected returns. The longer the stoppage, the greater the negative impact on the firm. The impact of stoppages also varies across legislative jurisdictions.
Malagasy scincid lizards: descriptions of nine new species, with notes on the morphology, reproduction and taxonomy of some previously described species (Reptilia, Squamata: Scincidae)
Authors: Andreone Franco , Greer Allen E. 
Published: October 2002

AbstractThe taxonomy and/or natural history of 33 species of scincid lizards from Madagascar are reviewed. Most of the material, consisting of 187 specimens now housed in the Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali, Turin, Italy, has been collected recently, but some dates to the 19th century. Nine new species are described in three genera: Amphiglossus mandady, A. nanus, A. spilostichus, A. stylu, A. tanysoma, Paracontias manify, P. hafa, P. tsararano and Pseudoacontiasmenamainty, increasing the known skink fauna of Madagascar (62 species) by 14.5%. All the new species come from the closed forests of north‐eastern Madagascar. Additionally, Amphiglossus praeornatus is resurrected from the synonymy of A. frontoparietalis, and Androngo alluaudi, A. crenni and A. elongatus are transferred to the genus Amphiglossus. There is also a key to the species of Paracontias and a new interspecifically variable character for Mabuya. Information on morphological variation, basic reproductive biology, habits and habitats is provided, as available, for all species. Perhaps most interestingly, Amphiglossus nanus n. sp. represents the eighth skink lineage in which an oviduct has been lost and Amphiglossus melanopleura decreases the number of longitudinal scale rows at mid‐body and the number of subdigital lamellae with altitude.
