Authors: Bonney Ebenezer Appah , Klutse Geoffrey Yao , Dzidzinyo Abigail Fiona , Dah Eric Manfred , Budu George Brains 
Published: July 2022

Purpose: The focus of the study was to review existing literature on the resourcefulness of science teaching and learning in the colleges of education in Ghana and to make recommendations to the government of Ghana and the science tutors on the teaching and learning of science in the colleges of education. The study strived to ascertain the right state of resourcefulness in science teaching and learning, nature of preparation given to pre-service science teachers and the kind of in-service training programmes science tutors receive.
Methodology: Systematic literature search approach was adopted in selecting, screening and extraction of important and related documents. These processes included defining the question(s) that the review aimed to answer, establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria, carrying out the search for literature, reviewing the process and evaluating the studies, extracting relevant documents or data and then synthesizing, analyzing and presenting data. The criteria involved identifying journals, articles, policy documents, official reports, training modules, scholarly work from both print and electronic media; identifying goal, scope and focus of the review; presenting outline of procedure for selecting journals; deciding on source selection process; selecting sources; calibration of the content extraction process and picking relevant content materials.
Results: From the analysis of the contents of the various documents gathered, it was revealed that a lot of colleges of education in Ghana have inadequate infrastructure, well-equipped science and ICT laboratories, human resource capacities and material resources that befit their status as tertiary institutions for effective delivery of science lessons by the tutors.
Recommendation: It was recommended that the government of Ghana should adequately resource the colleges of education and the science tutors should take advantage of the Professional Development Sessions to sharpen their knowledge and skills for effective delivery of science concepts to learners.

Secara khusus, dengan melayani, memelihara dan memelihara inisiatif masyarakat. dan berperan aktif dalam pembangunan serta menjawab kepentingan dan aspirasi masyarakat, kita akan dapat menjalankan misi dan pembangunan pemerintah semaksimal mungkin. Namun tidak sebaliknya. Pejabat pemerintah selalu berubah di masyarakat dalam menjalankan tugas dan fungsinya. Setiap perangkat harus menyadari tujuan negara dan sadar akan keperluan masyarakat yang membutuhkan pelalayanan oleh perangkat pemerintahan sesuai tugas dan fungsinya. Penerapan etika pemerintahan oleh sebagian besar pejabat pemerintah berdampak langsung pada penyelenggaraan pemerintahan. Jika tindakan birokrasi dalam menjalankan tugasnya dilandasi nilai-nilai etika, maka penyelenggaraan pemerintahan akan lancar dan berhasil. Sebaliknya, jika pengoperasian perangkat menyimpang dari nilai-nilai etika, tata kelola terhambat dan timbul masalah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan mengunakan konsep teori etika birokrasi dan prilaku birokrasi pemerintahan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis toeri dapat diketahui bahwa perilaku aparatur pemerintah dalam melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya sehari-hari yang ada di Kantor Desa Pandan Krajan Kecamatan Kemlagi, Kabupaten Mojokerto ini tergolong baik dan sehat, karena dalam menyelenggara tugas-tugas yang ada di pemerintahan Desa tersebut itu (birokrat) menggunakan etika pemerintahan dan menerapkan nilai-nilai. Sehingga birokrasi yang ada di Desa Pandan Krajan berjalan semestinya ataupun bisa dikatakan baik dan sehat dalam menjalankan roda pemerintahannya.
Volcanic stratospheric injections up to 160 Tg(S) yield a Eurasian winter warming indistinguishable from internal variability
Authors: DallaSanta Kevin , Polvani Lorenzo M. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Early observational and modeling work suggested that low-latitude volcanic eruptions, comparable
to the one of Pinatubo in 1991 or Krakatau in 1883, cause substantial surface warming over the
northern continents at mid-latitudes in winter. The proposed mechanism consists of the
formation of an anomalously strong Equator-to-pole temperature gradient in the stratosphere due to
the presence of volcanic aerosols in the tropics, which are accompanied by an acceleration of the
stratospheric polar vortex, which then shifts the Northern Annular Mode into a positive phase,
resulting in warming surface temperatures over Eurasia. However, a large body of research in the past decade has shown that, for eruptions such as
Pinatubo or Krakatau, no such warming is seen in simulations with more recent climate models
which, in general, have much finer vertical and horizontal resolution than the early ones, and
which have separated the forced response from the internal variability by using large ensembles of
integrations. Since the proposed physical mechanism is sound, it is then possible that eruptions
comparable to those of Pinatubo or Krakatau are simply too weak, but even larger ones might indeed be
capable of causing Eurasian surface warming in winter. In this study, we explore this possibility using a state-of-the-art, stratosphere-resolving
climate model, forced with prescribed aerosols from the Easy Volcanic Aerosol protocol. We
consider eruptions with stratospheric sulfur injections of 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, and 160 Tg(S). With
20-member ensembles, we find that with injections of 20 Tg(S) or more – roughly twice the
amplitude of the Pinatubo and Krakatau eruptions – our model simulates a winter surface warming over
Eurasia, which is statistically significant with a t test given our 20-member ensembles.
However, the forced volcanic signal on Eurasian winter surface temperatures is very small, barely
exceeding the 1σ range of internal variability for the 160 Tg(S) injection case, and much
smaller for smaller eruptions. Most importantly, the number of eruptions needed to
establish statistical significance is considerably larger than the number of eruptions known to
have occurred in the past 2000 years.
Observations of shoaling internal wave transformation over a gentle slope in the South China Sea

Published: July 2022

Abstract. Four oceanographic moorings were deployed across the South China Sea
continental slope near 21.85∘ N, 117.71∘ E, from 30 May
to 18 July 2014​​​​​​​ for the purpose of observing high-frequency nonlinear
internal waves (NLIWs) as they shoaled across a rough, gently sloping
bottom. Individual waves required just 2 h to traverse the array and
could thus easily be tracked from mooring to mooring. In general, the
amplitude of the incoming NLIWs tracked the fortnightly tidal envelope in
the Luzon Strait; they lagged by 48.5 h and were smaller than the waves
previously observed to the southwest near the Dongsha Plateau. Two types of waves,
a waves and b waves,​​​​​​​ were observed, with the b waves always leading the
a waves by 6–8 h. Most of the NLIWs were remotely generated, but a few
of the b waves formed locally via convergence and breaking at the leading
edge of the upslope-propagating internal tide. Waves incident upon the
moored array with amplitude less than 50 m and energy less than 100 MJ m−1 propagated adiabatically upslope with little change of form. Larger
waves formed packets via wave dispersion. For the larger waves, the kinetic
energy flux decreased sharply upslope between 342 and 266 m, while the
potential energy flux increased slightly, causing an increasing ratio of
potential-to-kinetic energy as the waves shoaled. None of the waves met the
criteria for convective breaking. The results are in rough agreement with
recent theory and numerical simulations of shoaling waves.

RESUMO: As eleições dos Estados Unidos da América de 2020 foram repletas de situações complicadas, principalmente num momento que o mundo vivenciava os impactos destrutivos da pandemia da Covid-19. No lado republicano, Donald Trump tentava a reeleição, concorrendo com Joe Biden, do partido democrata. Depois de um processo conturbado, Biden foi o vencedor da eleição. Com isso, surge o seguinte questionamento: que ethe discursivos são revelados por Joe Biden no momento de apresentação do discurso da vitória nas eleições presidenciais de 2020? Diante de tal questionamento, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar e analisar os ethe revelados por Joe Biden no discurso da vitória para presidente em 2020. E, como forma de concretizar tal objetivo, realizamos uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, de caráter descritivo-interpretativo e documental. Em relação ao corpus, este é composto de doze excertos coletados do discurso da vitória de Biden e que foram analisados tendo como base os postulados teóricos de Maingueneau (2008, 2013, 2016, 2020), Aristóteles (2005), Heine (2007) e outros. Diante disso, percebemos que Biden, como fiador do discurso mostrou vários ethe, tais como: valorizador da união Pregador dos princípios dos Estados Unidos, homem que valoriza os laços familiares, representante da gratidão e outros.
DIÁLOGOS INTERCULTURAIS EM NADA DIGO DE TI QUE EM TI NÃO VEJA
Authors: Tiburcio Barbosa Roberta 
Published: July 2022

Os agenciamentos socioculturais apontam para as múltiplas atividades de disputas e (re)negociações entre os sujeitos políticos. A literatura é um desses espaços no qual transitam e interconectam-se diversas demandas. Hodiernamente, a produção literária negra, especialmente no que se refere aos textos escritos por mulheres, vem questionando certos pressupostos hegemônicos que são marcadores de hierarquizações entre os grupos sociais. Eliana Alves cruz é uma das escritoras negras brasileiras que emergem na contemporaneidade apresentando reivindicações de direitos e visibilidade para as potencialidades das pessoas negras. Conhecida por seus romances históricos, a autora trouxe em 2020 mais uma narrativa que opera uma desestabilização dos centros de dominação socio-histórica, ao ressaltar as trajetórias de lutas e subversões de personagens negras no Brasil escravagista do século XVIII. Nesse sentido, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, procuraremos discutir os processos de interculturalidade e afirmação das subjetividades negras manifestados no romance Nada digo de ti que em ti não veja, de Eliane Alves Cruz (2020). Os processos de alteridade inscritos no romance histórico em foco, principalmente aqueles nos quais se analisa a atuação da protagonista da trama – a mulher negra transgênereo Vitória-, evidenciam as resistências e enfrentamentos das comunidades negras perante os sistemas de opressão.

Published: July 2022

Com base em pressupostos dos Estudos de Letramentos Críticos e da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a imagem de leitor modelo – isto é, a imagem virtual de um leitor preexistente àquele que efetivamente lidará com o texto produzido – projetada pelo serviço de checagem de fatos “Saúde sem Fake News”, do Ministério da Saúde (MS) do Governo Federal do Brasil, no enfrentamento à desinformação (desinfodemia) sobre a COVID-19. O conjunto do material é formado de 85 (oitenta e cinco) produções textuais verbo-visuais publicadas entre janeiro e junho de 2020, então disponíveis para acesso público e gratuito em plataformas digitais do MS. A análise de cunho descritivo e qualitativo está voltada a investigar se havia retomada total, retomada parcial ou ainda nenhuma retomada do objeto checado, considerando a projeção de determinadas competências do público leitor. Os resultados apontam para uma imagem de leitor que oscila entre o especializado e aquele com formação científica pouco ou não consolidada, preocupado com a assertividade do fato checado, em termos de “verdadeiro” ou “falso”, e para quem o serviço contribui de maneira pontual na promoção de letramento científico.

Published: July 2022

The study aimed to identify how university professors use the Arabic language specialist, the media as a scientific elite responsible for enabling the promotion of the use of the Arabic language and making it the first language in electronic publishing. To use dialects and vernacular languages ​​in the majority of electronic publishing, which represents a challenge to the Arabic language in the face of this type of publication by the researchers. The study found:
The respondents’ commitment to electronic publishing daily. University professors – the study sample – unanimously agreed on their commitment to Standard Arabic in their academic electronic publication, and their failure to adhere to it in non-academic electronic publishing. Also, the online language (Frank Arabs) negatively affects the Arab identity, and helps in not promoting the use of the Arabic language. The Arabic language, and also the most important obstacles that prevent the use of Standard Arabic in electronic publishing, were represented in the inability of some professors to master speaking and writing in Classical Arabic. The study recommends the need for universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and all Arab countries to adopt programs aimed at enabling members of the teaching staff to speak the correct Arabic language.

Estimation of serum calcium and phosphorus levels in male cataract patients: A case control study
Authors: Nitturkar Sagar , Channashetti Reshma D , Bubanale S C 
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Cataract is vision-impairing disease marked by incremental, progressive lens thickening. The lens is composed of G-protein receptors that are linked to intracellular calcium release. Through the activation of calcium dependent proteases, elevated calcium levels can indicate metabolic disturbances and cell component disruption. The Na+-K+ ATPase pump’s activity in maintaining a low cytoplasm Ca2+ concentration increases calcium levels significantly, causing rapid lens fibre breakdown, uncontrolled protein breakdown, cell swelling, and opacification. Phosphorus is involved in membrane permeability of the lens. The objective of the present study was to estimate and compare the serum calcium and phosphorus levels in males diagnosed with cataract and without cataract. Methodology: A total of 110 subjects were studied, of which 55 were diagnosed cataract patients and 55 were controls with no signs of cataract on ophthalmologic examination. Serum calcium and phosphorus were estimated. The obtained data was analysed statistically. Independent t test was used to associate the parameters. Results: In our study we found significantly increased levels of serum calcium in cataract patients (p<0.05) as compared to controls. Serum phosphorus concentration in cataract patients (p<0.05) was significantly increased as compared to controls.
