Authors: Bercasio Rebecca Rosario , Adornado Rutesa A 
Published: June 2023

This study aimed to develop and validate the Grade 7 English lessons with GCED using phenomenon-based learning (PhenoBL). The local and global phenomena were used in the GCED integration in the lessons. Conducted in a public school in the Philippines during the school year 2019-2020 using the descriptive method and documentary analysis, this study specifically developed a curriculum guide for mainstreaming GCED in Grade 7 English, developed sample phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 English lessons, and assessed and analyzed these sample lessons. Data gathering strategies included focus group discussion, a workshop on developing the lessons, collaborative critiquing of the lessons, assessing the lessons by validators, and analysis of the final lessons. A validated researcher-made rubric was used to assess the lessons in terms of appropriateness of GCED integration, relevance to the curriculum, flexibility of GCED integration, and significance of the theme, both the GCED integrated and the phenomenon or phenomena focused in the lesson. Findings indicate that the proposed curriculum guide for the mainstreaming of GCED in Grade 7 English lessons using a phenomenon-based learning approach is highly acceptable while the proposed phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 lessons are very good instructional resources for teaching about and for global citizenship. The validators’ feedback improved the phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 English lessons. Critical themes and local and global phenomena covered in the lessons are helpful in emphasizing GCED. Recommendations to disseminate and utilize the validated phenomenon-based GCED-enriched lessons and conduct a study to determine the effectiveness of the lessons are forwarded.

National Question: Attack on Liberty and Faith in Nigeria (2015 – 2023)
Authors: Okwelum C. O. 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The value of the citizens’ liberty in Nigeria and their freedom of worship became greatly assaulted during the twin-light of the Jonathan administration by insurgency of the Boko Haram genre in the north east leading to the administration’s defeat in the 2015 general election. But the attacks became accentuated and worse when the Buhari administration took over on the promise of using his military background to confront the crisis having done so previously during the Maitasene riot in 1983. But since 2015 countless lives have been lost in all fronts in the country with the administration and its security architecture being held responsible for colluding with the insurgents, bandits or terrorists.
Methodology: This paper which adopts the doctrinal method, surveyed, studied and examined the crisis of the breach of the constitutional and fundamental rights to personal liberty and freedom of worship during the Buhari administration and came to the conclusion that they degenerated to the lowest ebb, making the study necessary in order to highlight the failings of the administration and the exasperation of the citizens. The main sources of materials in this study are newspapers and other documentary reports.
Findings: It found that the life of an ordinary citizen no longer mattered and that his freedom of worship was so endangered (as exemplified in the bombing of the church in Owo by the terrorists) that the administration threw up its constitutional responsibility in abdication. Peaceful co-existence and the place of religion in the stability of the nation were called into question and the worthlessness of the liberty of the Nigerian citizen raised the issue of the National Question in an era of wanton extra-judicial killings.
Unique contributions to theory, practice and policy: The study recommends enhanced religious tolerance and bringing criminals to justice.

Reconstructing tephra fall deposits via ensemble-based data assimilation techniques
Authors: Mingari Leonardo , Costa Antonio , Macedonio Giovanni , Folch Arnau 
Published: June 2023

Abstract. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in ensemble approaches for modelling the atmospheric transport of volcanic aerosol, ash, and
lapilli (tephra). The development of such techniques enables the exploration of novel methods for incorporating real observations into tephra
dispersal models. However, traditional data assimilation algorithms, including ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) methods, can yield suboptimal state
estimates for positive-definite variables such as those related to volcanic aerosols and tephra deposits. This study proposes two new ensemble-based data
assimilation techniques for semi-positive-definite variables with highly skewed uncertainty distributions, including aerosol concentrations and
tephra deposit mass loading: the Gaussian with non-negative constraints (GNC) and gamma inverse-gamma (GIG) methods. The proposed methods are applied to reconstruct the tephra fallout deposit resulting from the
2015 Calbuco eruption using an ensemble of 256 runs performed with the FALL3D dispersal model. An assessment of the methodologies is conducted
considering two independent datasets of deposit thickness measurements: an assimilation dataset and a validation dataset. Different evaluation
metrics (e.g. RMSE, MBE, and SMAPE) are computed for the validation dataset, and the results are compared to two references: the ensemble prior mean and
the EnKF analysis. Results show that the assimilation leads to a significant improvement over the first-guess results obtained from the simple
ensemble forecast. The evidence from this study suggests that the GNC method was the most skilful approach and represents a promising alternative for
assimilation of volcanic fallout data. The spatial distributions of the tephra fallout deposit thickness and volume according to the GNC analysis are
in good agreement with estimations based on field measurements and isopach maps reported in previous studies. On the other hand, although it is an
interesting approach, the GIG method failed to improve the EnKF analysis.

Unmasterful Spirituality: Challenging Ancestor Worship
Authors: Ilek Kristýna 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT
This essay explores the spiritual and performative practice of ancestor worship as revisited by Czech-Vietnamese queer artist Lê Thị Hoài. The essay unpacks the power dynamics at stake in Lê Thị’s practice and introduces spirituality as a challenge to established power hierarchies. Lê Thị’s artistic work is inspired by her experience of the entanglements, complexities, and conflicts that her heritage—personal, cultural, social, and political—brings to her. The essay draws on Julietta Singh’s rethinking of “mastery” to interpret Lê Thị’s work as “unmasterful.” It looks at the symbolism, form, material, and function in Lê Thị’s work and juxtaposes the contradictory political, social, and economic beliefs that she strives to overcome. The author argues that the subversiveness of performative revision of traditional rituals is constituted through not only challenging an established system of values but also bringing to the forefront the ambiguity between the politics of private and public spaces and understanding spiritual force as an equal element in the art piece.

Published: June 2023

Objectives: The main objective of this study is to investigate the risk factors associated with kidney stones in the Department of Nephrology, Saidu Teaching Hospital, Swat, from Jan 2021 to Jan 2022. Specific objectives of this study are to: 1.	Identify and examine the demographic, medical and lifestyle factors of patients with and without kidney stones. 2.	Analyze the risk factors for the different types of kidney stones. 3.	Determine the relative risk of each risk factor for kidney stone formation. 4.	Make suggestions for prevention and management strategies of kidney stone development. Methods: This study was a retrospective case-control study in the Department of Nephrology, Saidu Teaching Hospital, Swat, from Jan 2021 to Jan 2022. Patient records from this period were reviewed and demographic, medical, and lifestyle factors of patients with and without kidney stones were compared. Risk factors for stone formation were determined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression. Results: A total of 193 patients of various ages had been admitted to the nephrology department from Jan 2021 to Jan 2022; 10 of these had a kidney stone. Of the kidney stone patients, six (60%) were male and four (40%) were female. The mean age of those with kidney stones was 43.6 years. Of the risk factors analyzed, male sex, family history of stone disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain lifestyle factors such as drinking soft drinks and eating a diet high in animal proteins were significantly associated with stone formation. Conclusion: This study identified a number of risk factors associated with the formation of kidney stones in the nephrology department of Saidu Teaching Hospital between Jan 2021 to Jan 2022. Male sex, family history of stone disease, diabetes, hypertension, and certain lifestyle factors such as drinking soft drinks and consuming a diet high in animal proteins were found to be significantly associated with stone formation.
