Main features of the westward-moving low pressure systems which form over the Indian region during the summer monsoon season and their relation to the monsoon rainfall
Authors: MOOLEY DA , SHUKLA J 
Published: April 2022

The main features of the transitory monsoon low pressure systems (LPS) over the Indian region during the period 1888-1983, in respect of their formation, life, movement, intensity and dissipation, as well as their Inter annual variability are examined by utilizing the Information and data contained In the Indian Daily Weather Reports. The relationships of these features with the monsoon rainfall over India/north India/central India/south India are examined.

The paper discusses a variety of statistics about the low pressure systems, e.g., formation, location, life, intensity, movement and dissipation.

The number of LPS formed is not significantly related to the monsoon rainfall over India except for a weak relationship with central India monsoon rainfall. Number of LPS days during the season is significantly and directly related to the Indian monsoon rainfall (abov.e.5%) and to central Indian monsoon rainfall (above I %) and these relationships generally show good stability. Total westward longitudinal displacement of the LPS during the season and the monsoon rainfall over India and central India are directly and significantly (above 1 %) related and these relationships also generally show good stability.
A case study of possible occurrence of a microburst Cell on 27 June 1985 over Palam airport
Authors: KISHAN DAYA , LAL BHAJAN 
Published: April 2022

A severe thunderstorm occurred on 27 June 1985 over Palam airport. The height., speed and shape of the radar echoes and the surface meteorological parameters associated with the thunderstorm, recorded at Palam and Safdarjung airports, have been studied and analysed. The wind Instruments Installed at Palam airport at the two runway ends, at a distance of 3 km from each other, recorded surface winds of 78 and 25 kt respectively at the same time in gusts from nearly opposite directions.

The intense surface draft and other associated meteorological parameters, including changes in them, suggest that there was a microburst cell which moved across Palam airport causing a wind shear of more than 100kt over a distance of 3 km.
Teaching About Police Brutality Through Music
Authors: Engle Anna 
Published: April 2022

I taught 2nd year high school students at a private girl’s school in Japan about police brutality and the African American experience through songs by four different African American artists: Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, James Brown and Alicia Keys. Other resources utilized in this elective class included the film “The Hate U Give” (2018), interviews and videos on YouTube and an original interview with an African American teacher working at the school. Utilizing music and many other primary sources, this course helped students improve their English, learn about American culture, and reflect on challenging current events. While the topic was linguistically difficult for English language learners, I introduced vocabulary from the songs and other sources, prepared pre-viewing guides, and regularly checked for comprehension through discussion questions and collecting student work. The students seemed to appreciate being able to discuss a difficult, relevant topic, and their vocabulary related to the subject matter steadily improved. Students also seemed to enjoy the materials used to teach the content matter.
Les Bijoux de la Kardashian : pour un enseignement renouvelé de la B.D en classe de FLE
Authors: Burg Gaëlle 
Published: April 2022

En classe de FLE, la BD reste souvent instrumentalisée pour l’enseignement de la langue et fait rarement l’objet d’une approche intégrée où elle serait étudiée pour elle-même, dans sa dimension artistique, à la fois littéraire et iconographique. Le manque de théorisation didactique pour ce média, de formation des enseignant-e-s ou encore leur méconnaissance du « neuvième art » et de ses mécanismes producteurs de sens expliquent ce constat. Notre article plaide pour un renouvellement de l’enseignement de la BD en classe de langue à travers une approche littéraire et propose des pistes pédagogiques à partir des Bijoux de la Kardashian de François Vignolle, Julien Dumond et Grégory Mardon (2019).

Published: April 2022

Dans cet article, on explore les connexions possibles entre l’éveil aux langues et les pédagogies autochtones dans le but de familiariser les élèves francophones de l’ouest canadien aux langues ancestrales parlées par les Métis, un des trois peuples autochtones reconnus par le Canada ; et ce dans le but d’éduquer à la réconciliation et à la justice sociale. Après avoir expliqué brièvement le contexte social et éducatif, on expliquera la démarche pédagogique et didactique adoptée, en collaboration avec la communauté métisse et le milieu enseignant ; et on donnera quelques exemples d’activités de classe visant spécifiquement à éveiller les élèves, au-delà des langues présentées, aux réalités autochtones et aux enjeux de société contemporains.
Mediazione e repertori plurilingui nel Villaggio delle lingue: nuovi strumenti per la didattica e la valutazione
Authors: Lopopolo Olga , Zanasi Lorenzo 
Published: April 2022

Il contributo descrive il ruolo e le modalità della mediazione nell’ambito del “Villaggio delle lingue”, un contesto simulato di interazione comunicativa plurilingue che rappresenta sia uno strumento didattico action-oriented e basato su task, per focalizzare l’attenzione degli studenti sui processi comunicativi in L1, L2, L3 e in lingue sconosciute, sia un metodo empirico di elicitazione dei dati linguistici per analisi linguistiche e valutazione delle competenze.
Il “Villaggio delle lingue” permette, all’interno della classe, di creare scenari di apprendimento linguistico di volta in volta diversi, in cui gli studenti agiscono come attori sociali, impegnandosi nella negoziazione e nella mediazione linguistica in vista di un obiettivo comune. Nel 2018, all’interno del progetto RepertoirePluS il “Villaggio” è stato somministrato dall’Istituto di linguistica applicata di Eurac Research in 7 classi delle scuole secondarie di 1° e 2° grado (scuole in lingua italiana, tedesca e scuole nelle valli ladine) della Provincia Autonoma di Bolzano. Attraverso un caso di studio si osserveranno le strategie messe in atto dagli studenti per mobilitare i propri repertori linguistici e semiotici con lo scopo di raggiungere una comunicazione efficace in contesti di plurilinguismo.
La médiation en tant que moyen d’intervention sociale – Perspectives pour une responsabilité assumée entre impératif éthique et devoir déontologique
Authors: Cavalli Marisa 
Published: April 2022

La médiation est non seulement un thème à la mode. Elle constitue un très vaste domaine au croisement d’optiques disciplinaires les plus diverses qui, chacune, fournit sa propre définition de la notion selon ses propres finalités et paramètres. L’espace ici imparti ne permet pas d’en tracer un historique ne serait-ce que dans le domaine de l’éducation ou dans celui, plus restreint, de la didactique des langues et des cultures. Si divers auteurs s’y sont essayés pour ce qui concerne ce dernier domaine (cf. par exemple, Zarate et alii 2002, North & Piccardo 2016, Huver & Lorilleux (eds) 2018, Lorilleux & Huver (eds) 2018), il est pour le moins surprenant de vérifier à quel point les références communes ou simplement convergentes sont peu nombreuses.
Sprachmittlung – Mediation im Fremdsprachenunterricht. Kompetenz und Bildungsziel
Authors: Reimann Daniel 
Published: April 2022

Der GeR des Jahres 2001 (Europarat 2001) war ein Initialmoment für eine neuerliche Reflexion und Integration sprachmittelnder Aktivitäten in den Fremdsprachenunterricht, doch war das dort zugrunde gelegte Konstrukt aus heutiger Perspektive eher rudimentär. Gleichwohl stellt der GeR „Mediation“ als vierten und komplexesten Modus kommunikativer Sprachaktivitäten neben Rezeption, Produktion und Interaktion (Europarat 2001, 25f.). Schulpraxis, Bildungsadministration und Fremdsprachenforschung haben in den etwa 15 vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche Ansätze der Entwicklung und Evaluation von Sprachmittlungskompetenz vorgelegt. Durch die Veröffentlichung des Companion Volume zum GeR im Jahr 2018 (Europarat 2018), in dem der „Mediation“ große Bedeutung beigemessen wird, ist Sprachmittlung – Mediation europaweit und darüber hinaus erneut und spürbar ins Bewusstsein der Fremdsprachendidaktik und Schulentwicklung gerückt worden. Nun ist das Konzept „Mediation“ im Companion Volume so weit gefasst, dass sich die Frage stellt, inwieweit es in unterrichtlichen Aktivitäten des Fremdsprachenunterrichts und in ihrer Evaluation überhaupt erfasst werden kann oder inwieweit es sich nicht um ein übergeordnetes, fächerübergreifend zu denkendes Bildungsziel handelt – und wie sich Bildungssysteme verhalten sollen, die den GeR zum Anlass genommen hatten, Sprachmittlung vor allem als sinngemäße Übertragung von Texten aus einer Sprache in eine andere Sprache zu operationalisieren (vgl. z.B. DGFF 2018, Reimann 2019). Der Beitrag wird vor diesem Hintergrund 1.) das Konstrukt Sprachmittlung im GeR des Jahres 2001 rekapitulieren und exemplarisch seine Operationalisierung im deutschen Bildungskontext der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte vorstellen, 2.) Konstrukt, Skalen und Deskriptoren im neuen Referenzrahmen des Jahres 2018 vorstellen, 3.) diese vor dem Hintergrund bisher etablierter Operationalisierungen reflektieren und 4.) Anregungen für ein erweitertes Mediationskonzept in der Praxis des schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht geben, wie sie sich aus dem Companion Volume ergeben können.
Die «attività connesse con lo scritto»: heilige Kuh oder goldenes Kalb der Sprachendidaktik?
Authors: Thonhauser Ingo 
Published: April 2022

Nella tradizione dell’insegnamento delle lingue seconde, le attività connesse con lo scritto hanno sempre avuto un ruolo di preminenza, sia che siano servite per la lettura e l’esercitazione di aspetti grammaticali o particolari strutture linguistiche, sia che abbiano fornito la base per la valutazione degli allievi. Raramente si era messo in discussione il ruolo o l'importanza dello scritto quale principale veicolo didattico: una sorta di “vacca sacra” che solo l’avvento dei nuovi approcci negli anni ‘70, strutturo-globali dapprima e comunicativi in seguito, ha permesso di sottoporre ad una primo sguardo critico. Negli ultimi due decenni le acque hanno comunque cominciato a muoversi con decisione. Nel campo della ricerca, ma anche fra gli insegnanti, la discussione si è sviluppata anche nel campo delle L2, stimolata da analoghe preoccupazioni nell’area della lingua materna e da un nuovo interesse della psicologia cognitiva.” (Einleitung der Ausgabe 3/1995 Hervorhebung von mir)

Pandhouder, ken uw grenzen
In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op de bijzondere positie van pandhouders ten opzichte van andere crediteuren (ook in faillissement) en mogelijke begrenzingen van die positie, bijvoorbeeld op grond van de Faillissementswet en de Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord. Daarnaast wordt een specifiek voorbeeld van een begrenzing besproken uit het vonnis in het D-Reizen-faillissement van 28 mei 2021, waarbij de rechtbank toetst of sprake is van misbruik van bevoegdheid door de pandhouder. Dit vonnis wordt eveneens besproken in het licht van andere rechtspraak over dit onderwerp, met als algemene conclusie dat de (separatisten)positie van pandhouders niet onbegrensd is.
Zicht op het meten van effecten van de handhaving door de Belastingdienst

Zicht op het meten van effecten van de handhaving door de Belastingdienst
Onder andere de Wetenschappelijke Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid bepleit dat toezichthouders de maatschappelijke opbrengsten van hun werk centraler stellen in hun beleid. Dat maakt het inzicht in de effecten van hun handelen steeds belangrijker. Dat geldt ook voor de Belastingdienst. Dit artikel beschrijft hoe het evalueren van de effecten van de handhaving door de Belastingdienst zich de afgelopen jaren heeft ontwikkeld en welke lessen daaruit zijn te leren over het meten van effecten door toezichthouders. Wij stellen vast dat sprake is van een toenemende aandacht voor evaluaties in het fiscale domein, maar dat effectmeting nog geen integraal onderdeel is van het werk van de Belastingdienst. Sommige van de geïdentificeerde uitdagingen zijn hardnekkig, maar bij andere – zoals het expliciteren van de beleidstheorie – zijn positieve ontwikkelingen zichtbaar. Toezichthouders zijn gebaat bij een systematisch en gestructureerd evaluatieproces dat is ingebed in de werkwijze van de toezichthouder en dat een samenhangend en onderbouwd resultaat van de uitgevoerde activiteiten laat zien om zo de toegevoegde waarde van het toezicht inzichtelijk te maken. Een strategie waar effectmeting onderdeel van is, een duidelijke visie op evalueren, centrale coördinatie, een evaluatieagenda en kortcyclisch evalueren helpen naar ons idee om beter in te spelen op hetgeen het toezicht in de huidige tijd vraagt en om tegelijkertijd de uitdagingen die kleven aan het uitvoeren van effectmetingen beter het hoofd te kunnen bieden.
Capacity Analysis of Channel Inversion Using Space-Time Block Coding with Transmit Power Control
Authors: Erdem Nergis , Ertas Tuncay 
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we analyze channel inversion with transmit diversity in terms of capacity and bit error rates in correlated fading. We obtain the Shannon capacity of Rayleigh fading channel under channel inversion using spatially correlated dual branch orthogonal space-time block coding, in comparison with the optimal power and rate adaptation policy, and provide a simple fixed-rate power adaptation policy to invert the Rayleigh fading into additive white Gaussian noise channel, and obtain the bit error rates using binary phase-shift keying modulation with/without channel inversion. It is found that the correlation generally causes a loss in capacity, which becomes more distinct with channel inversion relative to the optimal power and rate adaptation policy, especially when power correlation is greater than 0.5, and hinders otherwise possible full inversion. Transmit power truncation introduces power gain over full inversion, which manifests itself as an increase in capacity and a decrease in bit error probability. This gain increases with decreasing truncation level of the allowed peak transmit power. Inverting with truncation, a gain of about 19 dB in signal-to-noise ratio is obtained over classical single-antenna transmission without inversion. This gain may be further increased by a combination of truncation and correlation levels, as the correlation surprisingly turns to advantage when the normalized permitted peak-power is below 2 dB. However, the gain is normally accompanied by lower throughput or bandwidth expansion for a fixed data rate due to outage.
Welfare concerns associated with captive lions (Panthera leo) and the implications for commercial lion farms in South Africa

Published: April 2022

AbstractBreeding and housing wild animals in captive environments can pose challenges for their welfare. In South Africa, thousands of lions (Panthera leo) are bred and raised at commercial captive breeding facilities, so called ‘lion farms’, for use in tourism, trophy hunting and traditional medicine. To gain a better understanding of the potential welfare challenges faced by lions on farms we reviewed 91 peer-reviewed articles relating to lion welfare, identified via a systematic review of the scientific literature. Across these studies, we identified 170 different terms relating to negative behaviours and physical health afflictions. The majority of these terms were associated with disease and injury (124; 73%), followed by negative behaviours (19; 11%), negative mental experiences (15; 9%), nutritional concerns (7; 4%), and environmental challenges or discomfort arising from the animal's surroundings (5; 3%). Of the 91 articles, 32 (35%) focused on data concerning captive lions. Only two studies focused specifically on data obtained from lion farms in South Africa, whilst the remainder reported on data collected from zoos, wildlife parks, sanctuaries, game reserves and private ownership. Our preliminary review of the scientific literature draws attention to some of the challenges associated with caring for lions in captivity, and outlines the potential significance of these welfare challenges for commercial lion farms. Our data highlight the apparent lack of scientific research involving captive lion welfare generally, particularly data collected at commercial breeding facilities in South Africa and the consequences this could have for the welfare of thousands of lions within the industry.
Prevalence of Hypertension and Related Characteristics: Perspectives from an Outpatient Podiatric Medical Clinic
Authors: Cooperman Steven R. , Shofler David W. , Lemon Byron , Richardson Jordan , Sathananthan Airani 
Published: April 2022

Background: Hypertension is a highly prevalent condition in the general population, conferring a high risk of significant morbidity and mortality. Associated with the condition are many well-characterized controllable and noncontrollable risk factors. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of hypertension in the outpatient podiatric medical clinic setting and to determine the relevance of hypertension risk factors in this setting.
Methods: A survey tool was created to characterize relevant risk factors, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were recorded. Descriptive statistics were generated after conclusion of enrollment. Analysis was also performed to determine the relationship between individual risk factors and systolic blood pressure.
Results: Of the 176 patients, 56 (31.8%) had an incidentally high blood pressure at intake, including 18.5% of patients without a known history of hypertension and 38.5% with a known history of hypertension. Three risk factors were found to be significantly associated with increasing systolic blood pressure: weight (P = .022), stress level (P = .017), and presence of renal artery stenosis (P = .021). There was also a near–statistically significant inverse relationship between systolic blood pressure and amount of time spent exercising (P = .068).
Conclusions: Overall, a relatively high prevalence of incidental hypertension was identified, including among patients not previously diagnosed as having hypertension. Consideration of risk factors and awareness of the prevalence of the condition can be useful for practitioners, even as they manage presenting podiatric medical concerns. Future investigations may consider interventional or preventive strategies in the outpatient clinic setting.

Plastics are one of the most widely and abundant substances in today's society. Worldwide the usage of low-density polyethylene bags create pollution on land and in the oceans, especially when they break down in macro and micro plastics. On all continents, governments try to establish solutions on how to fight plastic pollution form shopping bags by banning their use, implant fees for their usage and replace plastic bags with a more renewable material. Paper bags are a valid solution, especially when manufactured from recycled materials. It is estimated, that In the United States, enough material is available to cover the replacement of the 100 billion plastic bags uses yearly with 100% recycled paper bags.
The required investment is roughly 6 billion dollars for new paper machines and mills, creating up to 10,000 new jobs in states where the paper machines would be installed and operated.
Screening check test to confirm the relative reactivity and applicability of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine impregnated-filters for formaldehyde on other compounds
Authors: Inoue Naoko , Takaya Mitsutoshi 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Objectives
A simple check test method was designed to confirm whether a 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) filter for formaldehyde can be used to measure other compounds.

Methods
Sample mixtures containing the same concentrations of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone were spiked to the DNPH-filter, extracted, and then measured using high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA). The amounts of DNPH-derivatives versus the amounts of spiked samples were then plotted.

Results
When the amount of DNPH &lt;&lt; the total amount of spiked samples, the amount of DNPH-derivatives was formaldehyde &gt; acetaldehyde &gt;&gt; acetone. This order corresponded to the relative rate constants for the reaction. Therefore, this study confirmed that acetone was not collected at the formaldehyde sampling rate.

Conclusions
This check test easily measured the reaction rate order and can be used as a simple test to determine whether other samples can be measured by the analytical methods used for the specified sample.
Digital training intervention on strategies for tackling physical misconceptions—Self‐explanation matters
Authors: Hefter Markus H. , Fromme Bärbel , Berthold Kirsten 
Published: April 2022

AbstractFuture teachers face the challenge of whether and how to address their students' misconceptions—naïve concepts that often conflict with the correct scientific concepts taught at school. We developed a short‐term digital training intervention on instructional knowledge about strategies for addressing students' misconceptions in physics. It comprised cognitive modelling of three instructional strategies (i.e. ignoring, refuting, and integrating) and self‐explanation prompts. In a web experiment with 58 teacher students, we found that our digital intervention fostered learning processes (self‐explanation quality) and learning outcomes (knowledge about three instructional strategies). It can thus help teacher students to acquire initial knowledge about how to tackle their future students' misconceptions. Self‐explanation quality mediated the intervention's effect on instructional knowledge both immediately and 3 weeks later. These mediation effects emphasise the impact of self‐explanations while learning from complex cognitive models. Finally, the intervention's positive side effect of reducing participants' own misconceptions is an additional practical advantage.
