Authors: Abubakar Amina 
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Innovative And Foregrounding Approach to Motivating Literacy and Literary Skills (IFAMLSIS) provides a summary of the writer's foreground approach to motivating students on the core aspects of reading, writing and literary skills spectacled from an innovative skills program. The module, an action research, was developed as part of remediation program for students who lacked the proficiency in English language in the Department of English of the Federal College of Education Kano, Nigeria. The focus of this review is on the fundamental components of reading, writing, and literary abilities as seen through the lens of a novel Foregrounding Approach. It has been developed with purposeful activities that are meant to ground students in the skill of reading and enjoying literary texts, which in turn, are imagined, would change them into competent writers.
Methodology: The module's operation is based on the collaborative "Think-Pair-Share" model, which allows students to work or navigate through assignments independently at first, then in pairs, groups, or as a class, as well as share ideas and cooperate on tasks and projects.
Findings: The researcher reveals the several modules created for remediation for students with deficiencies in English language. Each part includes thorough explanations and summaries of the contents of each unit. Also included are suggestions for the implementation of the program as well as its advantages, particularly for ESL students.
Contribution to theory: Although the module's implementation is still in development, it is anticipated that the results will be favorable. The module will be improved using the results of its pilot testing. The government, the commercial sector, and other stakeholders in higher education are urged to contribute financially to the publication, mass manufacturing, and distribution of the module throughout Nigerian colleges of education and elsewhere.

IntroductionThe accuracy of detecting myocardial infarction (MI) has greatly improved with the advent of more sensitive assays, and this has led to etiologic subtyping. Distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) early in the clinical course allows for the most appropriate advanced diagnostic procedures and most efficacious treatments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive effect of demographic and clinical variables on predicting NSTEMI subtypes in patients presenting with ischemic symptoms.Material and methodsWe performed a single institution retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to the emergency department (ED) with ischemic signs and symptoms consistent with non-ST-segment myocardial infarction, for whom results of coronary angiography were available. We analyzed demographic, laboratory, echocardiography and angiography data to determine predictors of NSTEMI sub-types.ResultsFive hundred and forty-six patients were enrolled; 426 patients were found on coronary angiography to have type 1 acute MI (T1AMI), whereas 120 patients had type 2 acute MI (T2AMI). Age (OR per year = 1.03 (1.00, 1.05), p = 0.03), prior MI (OR = 3.50 (1.68, 7.22), p = 0.001), L/H > 2.0 (OR = 1.55 (1.12, 2.13), p = 0.007), percentage change in troponin I > 25% (OR = 2.54 (1.38, 4.69), p = 0.003), and regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) (OR = 3.53 (1.46, 8.54), p = 0.004) were independent predictors of T1AMI, whereas sex, race, body mass index, hypertension, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), heart failure, family history (FH) of coronary artery disease (CAD), HbA1c, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were not.ConclusionsKey clinical variables such as age, prior MI, L/H ratio, percentage change in troponin I, and presence of RWMA on echocardiogram may be utilized as significant predictors of T1AMI in patients presenting with ischemic symptoms to the ED.

Introdução: A obesidade é uma doença crônica e incapacitante de causa multifatorial, com um aumento rápido e gradativo, sendo considerado um problema de saúde pública no mundo todo, alterando significativamente a qualidade de vida de seus portadores e estando associada diretamente a uma alta taxa de morbiletalidade. Nesse contexto, o uso do balão intragástrico acaba sendo uma das opções de métodos utilizada para o tratamento da obesidade. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a implementação do balão intragástrico como o ponto de partida da terapia bariátrica endoscópica. Metodologia: Para a confecção desse trabalho, realizou-se uma investigação integrativa nos idexadores eletrônicos PubMed, Scielo, MEDLINE e Google Scholar. A partir disso, pode-se construir uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito da utilização do balão intragástrico no tratamento da obesidade. Resultados: O balão intragástrico (BIG) tem sido considerado uma opção em pacientes obesos que possuem resistência ao tratamento clínico e à cirurgia bariátrica. Dados epidemiológicos mostram que pacientes submetidos ao BIG, quando acompanhados por uma equipe multidisciplinar capacitada para o manejo destes pacientes, acabam obtendo melhores resultados, sendo essencial o acompanhamento por médicos, nutricionistas, psicólogos e fisioterapeutas, que, quando trabalhando em conjunto, traçando metas e objetivos, contribuem para melhores resultados. Conclusão: O uso do balão intragástrico quando associado a uma equipe multidisciplinar, modificações nos hábitos alimentares e exercício físico adequado, pode se considerar uma opção terapêutica segura e eficaz para o tratamento da obesidade.

A multi-pollutant and multi-sectorial approach to screening the consistency of emission inventories
Authors: Thunis Philippe , Clappier Alain , Pisoni Enrico , Bessagnet Bertrand , Kuenen Jeroen , Guevara Marc , Lopez-Aparicio Susana 
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Some studies show that significant uncertainties affect
emission inventories, which may impeach conclusions based on air-quality
model results. These uncertainties result from the need to compile a wide
variety of information to estimate an emission inventory. In this work, we
propose and discuss a screening method to compare two emission inventories,
with the overall goal of improving the quality of emission inventories by
feeding back the results of the screening to inventory compilers who can
check the inconsistencies found and, where applicable, resolve errors. The
method targets three different aspects: (1) the total emissions assigned to a
series of large geographical areas, countries in our application; (2) the way
these country total emissions are shared in terms of sector of activity; and
(3) the way inventories spatially distribute emissions from countries to
smaller areas, cities in our application. The first step of the screening
approach consists of sorting the data and keeping only emission contributions
that are relevant enough. In a second step, the method identifies, among
those significant differences, the most important ones that provide evidence of
methodological divergence and/or errors that can be found and resolved in at
least one of the inventories. The approach has been used to compare two
versions of the CAMS-REG European-scale inventory over 150 cities in Europe
for selected activity sectors. Among the 4500 screened pollutant sectors,
about 450 were kept as relevant, among which 46 showed inconsistencies. The
analysis indicated that these inconsistencies arose almost equally
from large-scale reporting and spatial distribution differences. They mostly
affect SO2 and PM coarse emissions from the industrial and residential
sectors. The screening approach is general and can be used for other types
of applications related to emission inventories.
Technical note: Conservative storage of water vapour – practical in situ sampling of stable isotopes in tree stems

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Using water-stable isotopes to track plant water uptake or soil water processes has become an invaluable tool in ecohydrology and physiological ecology. Recent studies have shown that laser absorption spectroscopy can measure equilibrated water vapour well enough to support inference of liquid-stable isotope composition of plant or soil water, on-site and in real-time. However, current in situ systems require the presence of an instrument in the field. Here we tested, first in the lab and then in the field, a method for equilibrating, collecting, storing, and finally
analysing water vapour for its isotopic composition that does not require an instrument in the field. We developed a vapour storage vial system (VSVS) that relies on in situ sampling into crimp neck vials with a double-coated cap using a pump and a flow metre powered through a small battery and measuring the samples in a laboratory. All components are inexpensive and commercially available. We tested the system's ability to store the isotopic composition of its contents by sampling a range of water vapour of known isotopic compositions (from −95 ‰ to +1700 ‰ for δ2H) and measuring the isotopic composition after different storage periods. Samples for the field trial were taken in a boreal forest in northern Sweden. The isotopic composition was maintained to within 0.6 ‰ to 4.4 ‰ for δ2H and 0.6 ‰ to 0.8 ‰ for δ18O for natural-abundance samples. Although 2H-enriched samples showed greater uncertainty, they were sufficient to quantify label amounts. We detected a small change in the isotopic composition of the sample after a long storage period, but it was correctable by linear regression models. We observed the same trend for the samples obtained in the field trial for δ18O but observed higher variation in δ2H than in the lab trial. Our method combines the best of two worlds, sampling many trees in situ while measuring at high precision in the laboratory. This provides the ecohydrology community with a tool that is not only cost efficient but also easy to use.
Filling and drainage of a subglacial lake beneath the Flade Isblink ice cap, northeast Greenland

Abstract. The generation, transport, storage and drainage of
meltwater play important roles in the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) subglacial
system. Active subglacial lakes, common features in Antarctica, have
recently been detected beneath the GrIS and may impact ice sheet hydrology.
Despite their potential importance, few repeat subglacial lake filling and
drainage events have been identified in Greenland. Here we examine the
surface elevation change of a collapse basin at the Flade Isblink ice cap,
northeast Greenland, which formed due to sudden subglacial lake drainage in
2011. We estimate the subglacial lake volume evolution using multi-temporal
ArcticDEM data and ICESat-2 altimetry data acquired between 2012 and 2021.
Our long-term observations show that the subglacial lake was continuously
filled by surface meltwater, with the basin surface rising by up to 55 m during
2012–2021, and we estimate 138.2 × 106 m3 of meltwater was
transported into the subglacial lake between 2012 and 2017. A second rapid
drainage event occurred in late August 2019, which induced an abrupt ice
dynamic response. We find that the 2019 drainage released much less water
than the 2011 event and conclude that multiple factors, such as the volume
of water stored in the subglacial lake and bedrock relief, regulate the
episodic filling and drainage of the lake. By comparing the surface
meltwater production and the subglacial lake volume change, we find that
only ∼ 64 % of the surface meltwater descended to the bed,
suggesting potential processes such as meltwater refreezing and firn aquifer
storage, which need to be further quantified.
UM RECORTE POÉTICO E FILOSÓFICO EM ALMA VÊNUS, DE MARCO LUCCHESI
Authors: Vieira dos Santos Jânio 
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo busca abordar o diálogo entre filosofia e literatura, sendo nosso corpus de análise a obra poética Alma Vênus (2000), do escritor brasileiro Marco Lucchesi, e sua relação com a filosofia, em especial com o neoplatonismo. Para isso, nos baseamos em textos filosóficos, teóricos e críticos, bem como em leituras de algumas das obras do escritor carioca, a fim de percebermos as relações e as apropriações entre os dois universos, principalmente tendo como base as contribuições de autores como Plotino (2000), Platão (2012), Nunes (2010, 2012), Mello (2009), Andrade (2012) e Figurelli (2007). Dessa forma, procuramos apresentar as relações de Alma Vênus com a filosofia, dando ênfase à da renascença. Buscamos, desse modo, discutir aspectos de ambas as áreas e o modo como a filosofia apresenta-se no texto literário e sua influência na poética lucchesiana. Percebemos, com isso, que a obra do poeta apresenta uma vasta singularidade que enriquece a poesia contemporânea brasileira. Seus versos são coesos, claros e objetivos e estão em constante diálogo com a filosofia por meio das ideias apresentadas nos poemas, na consciência de mundo e no trabalho com a palavra.

Background and Purpose: Synsepalum dulcificum (Sapotaceae) is used in traditional medicine for treatment of diabetes, cough and cancer. This study was designed to investigate the in vivo toxicological endpoints of the ethanol leaf extract of S. dulcificum in male and female rats.
Methods: After estimating the LD50 in mice, forty-eight rats were randomly assigned to four groups of twelve rats each in a sex ratio of 1:1 and were orally administered 10 mL/kg distilled water (control) and 118, 237, 475 mg/kg/day of the extract respectively for forty-five days. The animals were thereafter euthanized and blood samples collected for haematological, biochemical and antioxidant assays. Sperm parameters were evaluated and testis, liver, heart and ovary were harvested for histopathology. Constituents of the extract were determined by GC-MS.
Result: The LD50 (oral) was estimated to be 4750 mg/kg in mice. There was a significant decrease in haemoglobin but lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly increased compared to control. Aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase were significantly increased compared to control. Creatinine increased, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and albumin decreased significantly in treated rats. There was a significant increase in enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants and a significant reduction in malondialdehyde (MDA). There were significant increases in reproductive markers of sperm count, motility and abnormality. Renovascular congestion and preserved cytoarchitecture in other organs were observed. Twenty-one compounds including n-hexadecanoic acid, oleic acid, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxyl-6- methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DDMP) and phytol were identified.
Conclusion: Prolonged use of the ethanol leaf extract of S. dulcificum could result in hepatic and renal dysfunctions and may increase the risk for male infertility and cardiovascular diseases.
Публичные речи Н.С. Хрущева конца 1950-х – начала 1960-х гг.: опыт источниковедческого анализа
Authors: Петрова Татьяна Михайловна 
Published: July 2022

Статья посвящена источниковедческому анализу речей Н.С. Хрущева, произнесенных в СССР в середине 1950-х – начале 1960-х гг. На основании неопубликованных материалов о ходе подготовки публичных выступлений Хрущева из фонда 52 Российского государственного архива новейшей истории (РГАНИ), писем и дневников автором предпринимается попытка выявить исследовательские возможности использования данного источника. Автор выделяет отдельные этапы подготовки речей, определяет круг участников данного процесса и непосредственную роль в нем советского лидера. В статье показано, что несмотря на создание речей пресс-группой, Хрущев лично принимал активное участие в их подготовке путем диктовки дополнений. В итоговых вариантах все они учитывались либо без исправлений, либо с минимальными стилистическими правками. В текстах выступлений присутствовали элементы «стиля Хрущева» (анекдоты, шутки, пословицы, рассказы из жизни), вносимые членами пресс-группы с молчаливого согласия лидера. Данные особенности делают публичные речи третьего советского лидера ценным источником для изучения политического режима в СССР периода «оттепели».
