Authors: SHIYAMA AMINATH , ABDUL MUHAIMIN FATHIMATH NASIHA , SHAFEEQA FATHIMATH 
Published: February 2024

Environmental and sustainability education is critical to the world we live in today. Our World, Our Futures, a small-scale, cross-cultural participatory study, explored what transformative environmental and global citizenship education might look like in primary schools across two contexts. The study aimed to explore how teachers innovate curriculum through a flexible, cross-curricular approach within the constraints of the existing formal school curriculum. Informed by a culturally situated, responsive approach to researching with students and teachers, the research team supported the teachers in developing learning activities that forefronted the students’ situated knowledge, ideas and concerns about the environment. The students were invited to create and share art and other texts reflecting their perspectives on local environmental issues, their aspirations for their future spaces and their active roles as global citizens. Teachers were invited to reflect on how, and the extent to which, ideas of global citizenship, environmental and sustainability education can be incorporated into the curriculum, exploring how the project supported teachers’ pedagogical praxis, autonomy and professional learning. Through these activities, data such as teacher interviews, classroom observations and artefacts of student work were gathered. The data were analysed to identify ways in which students’ cross-cultural dialogue developed along with teachers’ pedagogical development in integrating transformative and contextually relevant pedagogical approaches for delivery of environmental and sustainability education. The findings demonstrate the complexities and challenges of collaborating across distances, cultures and time zones, and of using virtual platforms. Finally, the findings present curriculum development as a lived, dynamic and experimental process that develops teacher autonomy and professional learning.

Authors: IBRAHIM ANWAR 
Published: February 2024

This research sought to find out the extent to which grammatical and linguistic conventions have been violated in the use of Dhivehi language in online newspapers in the Maldives and to identify the main types of grammatical errors found therein. The aim was to thereby support efforts to preserve grammatical and linguistic conventions of Dhivehi language. The findings indicate that sentences with grammatical errors outweigh those without such errors. In this regard, 76 per cent of the sentences analyzed contains grammatical errors. From the 200 news headlines analyzed, 113 grammatical errors were identified. Similar was the case with 81 per cent of the lead sentences. The findings also highlight areas of language and the news genres that institutions and news agencies should pay more attention to in order to reduce incidence of grammatical issues in (online) newspapers.

Improving Water Distribution Network Models with Data Assimilation: Unleashing the Power of Real-Time Improvements
Authors: MIFLAL FAYAZ BRAHIM MIFLAL FAYAZ , MARIO CASTRO-GAMA  , LEONARDO ALFONSO SEGURA  
Published: February 2024

Ensuring a reliable water supply in the face of changing conditions and growing demand is a critical global challenge. Water distribution networks (WDNs) are essential infrastructure, but traditional modeling methods based on historical data often struggle to adapt in real-time and integrate new information. In order to lower model errors in WDN models, this study explores the use of a Data Assimilation (DA) method that makes use of the Ensemble Kalman Filter. The study explores the effectiveness of the DA method, and a novel Greedy Algorithm (GA) for optimizing the location of sensors. The study shows that the DA method improves the WDN model and the GA is able to successfully determine optimal sensor locations. It was observed that increasing the number of sensors in the WDN increased the effectiveness of the DA method. This study highlights the potential of data assimilation to improve WDN modeling. Water utilities can gain from more precise predictions, greater system performance, and efficient decision-making for the management and maintenance of water distribution networks by allowing models to adapt and improve dynamically

Nouvelle gestion publique et travail social au Québec : actions stratégiques en réponse
aux contraintes organisationnelles
Authors: Roy Valérie , Leblanc-Huard Gabrielle , Grenier Josée 
Published: February 2024

Depuis son implantation progressive dans le réseau de la santé et des services
sociaux, la Nouvelle gestion publique (NGP) a entrainé des modifications majeures dans les
conditions de pratique des travailleuses sociales. L’imprégnation d’une logique
gestionnaire, la standardisation des pratiques ainsi que le recours de plus en plus fréquent
aux données probantes et à l’intelligence artificielle pour baliser l’intervention ont
contribué à réduire l’autonomie professionnelle des travailleuses sociales. Dans ce cadre de
plus en plus contraignant, il devient difficile pour elles d’exercer des pratiques éthiques,
c’est-à-dire de déployer au quotidien une pensée critique et une réflexivité basées sur les
savoirs et valeurs du travail social, sur les normes déontologiques de la profession et sur
leur identité professionnelle. Elles ont également de moins en moins de marge de manoeuvre
pour déployer des interventions inclusives et différenciées auprès des personnes issues de
groupes minoritaires auprès desquelles elles sont appelées à agir. Les changements entrainés
par la NGP engendrent aussi chez les travailleuses sociales des conflits de loyauté, entre
les attentes de leurs gestionnaires et leurs valeurs professionnelles, ce qui a de nombreux
effets délétères : détresse psychologique, démobilisation, épuisement professionnel,
changement de carrière, etc. Si plusieurs recherches se sont intéressées à ces impacts des
réformes managériales, très peu se sont attardées aux stratégies déployées par les
travailleuses sociales dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes pour y faire face et pour assurer
un exercice éthique de leur profession. Cet article propose ainsi une analyse des
répercussions de la restructuration de l’État engendré par la NGP sur les conditions de
pratique du travail social, ainsi que des réponses émergentes introduites par les actrices
de terrain.
A comparative study of stereopsis measurements: analyzing natural conditions versus dichoptic presentation using smartphones and ultraviolet printer technology
Authors: Liu Lu , Liu Jiang , Xu Lingxian , Zhao Lingzhi , Wu Huang 
Published: February 2024

Background
Accurate differentiation between stereopsis assessments in the natural and dichoptic presentation states has proven challenging with commercial stereopsis measurement tools. This study proposes a novel method to delineate these differences more precisely.

Methods
We instituted two stereopsis test systems predicated on a pair of 4K smartphones and a modified Frisby Near Stereotest (FNS) version. Stereoacuity was evaluated both in the natural environment state (via the modified FNS) and the dichoptic state (via smartphones). Thirty subjects aged 20 to 28 years participated in the study with the best-corrected visual acuity (VA) of each eye no less than 0 logMAR and stereoauity of no worse than 40″. Varying degrees of monocular VA loss were induced using the fogging method, while this study does not explore conditions where the VA of both eyes is worse than 0 logMAR.

Results
When the VA difference between the two eyes did not exceed 0.2 logMAR, the modified FNS produced lower stereoacuity values compared to the 4K smartphones (Wilcoxon signed-rank test: difference = 0 logMAR, Z = −3.879, P < 0.001; difference = 0.1 logMAR, Z = −3.478, P = 0.001; difference = 0.2 logMAR, Z = −3.977, P < 0.001). Conversely, no significant differences were observed when the binocular vision difference exceeded 0.2 logMAR (difference = 0.3 logMAR, Z = −1.880, P = 0.060; difference = 0.4 logMAR, Z = −1.784, P = 0.074; difference = 0.5 logMAR, Z = −1.812, P = 0.070).

Conclusion
The findings suggest that stereoacuity values measurements taken in the natural environment state surpass those derived from the dichoptic presentation. However, the observed difference diminishes as stereopsis decreases, corresponding to an increase in induced anisometropia.

The product innovation is also able to strongly mediate the relationship between environmental management accounting (EMA) and economic development, this finding is supported by the value of t count > t table (2.710 > 1.975) and a path coefficient of 0.000. The latest test results also prove that process innovation is also able to strengthen the relationship between Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) variables and economic development.
Conclusion: Overall, the results of this study support the dimensions of management accounting environment (AML) can increase economic development even though companies carry out product innovation and process innovation activities. This research provides a perspective on possible strategies companies to achieve more effective environmental management accounting and supports company goals related to product innovation and company process innovation.
Minimum variance in fast, slow and dual‐rate control loops
Authors: Wang Xiaorui , Zhang Liqian , Chen Tongwen , Huang Biao 
Published: January 2005

AbstractIn certain industrial applications, the control updating rate is faster than the output sampling rate by a certain factor, which leads to dual‐rate (DR) control problems. Generally speaking, a DR controller performs better than a slow single rate (SSR) controller but worse than a fast single rate (FSR) controller in the sense of minimum variance control. This conjecture is theoretically justified in this paper for a continuous linear time‐invariant (LTI) single‐input single‐output (SISO) system. The optimal FSR, DR and SSR controllers are designed under the same performance criterion: variance of the fast sampled output. The discretization of continuous stochastic disturbance models is investigated preserving certain basic statistical properties. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is developed to calculate the optimal controllers for DR and SSR loops. The theoretical results are illustrated by two simulation examples.

AbstractOne possible reason of the inconsistent results of linkage analyses of schizophrenia, a complex disorder, was mainly due to the small sample size of studies. This Taiwan Schizophrenia Linkage Study (TSLS) was designed to collect a large family sample with at least two affected siblings of a single ethnicity. The 17.6 millions of Taiwanese Chinese, age over 15, was the sample population, and 78 psychiatric hospitals or health centers participated in this TSLS program. Before data collection started, every study subject signed the informed consent. The ascertainment protocol for data collection included blood sample, structured Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS), Structured Interview for Schizotypy (SIS), scales for assessment of positive and negative symptoms (SAPS, SANS), and continuous performance test (CPT), Wisconsin card sort test (WCST) of neuropsychological functions. We have contacted 831 families for this study and 607 families, comprised 2,490 subjects, were successfully recruited. The recruitment rate was 38.4% from the estimated total of 1,582 families with at least two affected siblings. These collected family samples were fairly evenly distributed all over Taiwan. Those 2,490 study subjects (1,283 male, 1,117 female) comprised 1,568 siblings (mean age 35.7 years old) and 922 parents (mean age 63.6 years old). Of these 1,568 siblings, 1,258 (80.2%) were affected (male 795, female 463), and the mean age of onset was 22.6 years old. Among 922 parents, 65 were affected (male 14, female 51) and the age of onset was 33.1 years old. This TSLS demonstrated a successful establishment of an efficient research infrastructure to collect a large nation‐wise sample of schizophrenic family for genetic linkage study. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Evidence for the gamma‐amino‐butyric acid type B receptor 1 (GABBR1) gene as a susceptibility factor in obsessive‐compulsive disorder
Authors: Zai Gwyneth , Arnold Paul , Burroughs Eliza , Barr Cathy L. , Richter Margaret A. , Kennedy James L. 
Published: January 2005

AbstractObsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is a well‐recognized severe neuropsychiatric illness. Genetic factors are believed to be important etiologically. Although historically genetic testing has focused on the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems, there is increasing evidence that the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), may also be functionally involved. Furthermore the GABA type B receptor 1 (GABBR1) gene has been localized to chromosome 6p21.3 region, which has shown linkage to OCD. We investigated five polymorphisms (A–7265G substitution; C10497G substitution; A33795G substitution in the 3′‐UTR; Ser‐491‐Ser‐T1473C transition; Phe‐659‐Phe‐T1977C transition) in the GABBR1 gene in a sample of 159 DSM‐IV OCD probands and their families, using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT). A trend was observed with an over‐transmission of −7265A allele at the A‐7265G polymorphism and OCD (χ2 = 3.270, P = 0.071). Moreover, the TDT haplotype analysis using TRANSMIT showed a trend toward association with the haplotype of the five polymorphisms together [2.1.1.2.1 (A‐7265G.C10497G.Ser‐491‐Ser.Phe‐659‐Phe.A33795G)] with a Chi‐square value of 3.418, which corresponds to a P‐value of 0.065 (overall χ2 = 6.353, 5 df, P = 0.273). Moreover, a trend was observed for the total Yale‐Brown obsessive‐compulsive scale score in the A‐7265G polymorphism (−7265A: z = 1.934, P = 0.053) using the Family‐Based Association Test, considering the diagnosis of OCD and then the clinically relevant quantitative phenotypes. The observed trends suggest that further investigations of the role of the GABBR1 gene in OCD are warranted. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Molecular Recognition in Organic Crystals: Directed Intermolecular Bonds or Nonlocalized Bonding?
Authors: Dunitz Jack D. , Gavezzotti Angelo 
Published: January 2005

AbstractMolecules are held together mainly by forces acting between individual atoms. Does the same apply to molecular clusters? Does intermolecular cohesion depend on weak bonds between individual atoms in different molecules or on less localized, more diffuse interactions between molecules? We discuss these questions from several viewpoints and in particular compare interpretations based on the extension of Bader's atoms in molecules (AIM) theory to cover closed‐shell intermolecular interactions with interpretations based on the new pixel method for the calculation of coulombic, polarization, dispersion, and repulsion energies from the electron density of molecular clusters.
Pharmacokinetics of a new proton pump inhibitor, YJA‐20379‐8, after intravenous and oral administration to spontaneously hypertensive rats and DOCA‐salt‐induced hypertensive rats

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the causes for the differences observed in the pharmacokinetics of YJA‐20379‐8 in 16‐week‐old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). To see if the hereditary characteristics of SHRs was the cause, 20 mg/kg of the drug was intravenously infused over 15 min and 50 mg/kg of the drug was orally administered to 6‐week‐old SHRs and 16‐week‐old SHRs and their age‐matched control Kyoto–Wistar (KW) rats. Also to see if the hypertensive status itself was the cause, the same doses were administered to 16‐week‐old deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) salt‐induced hypertensive rats (DOCA‐salt rats) and their age‐matched control Sprague–Dawley rats. The areas under the plasma concentration–time curve from time zero to time infinity (for intravenous study) and to the last sampling time in plasma (for oral study) were significantly smaller after both intravenous and oral administration, and the total body clearances of the drug were significantly faster after intravenous administration to 6‐week‐old SHRs, 16‐week‐old SHRs, and 16‐week‐old DOCA‐salt rats than those in their respective age‐matched control rats. The above pharmacokinetic parameter changes in 16‐week‐old SHRs were due to both hereditary characteristic of SHRs and the hypertensive status itself. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
