Ediacaran origin and Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa.

The timescale of animal diversification has been a focus of debate over how evolutionary history should be calibrated to geologic time. Molecular clock analyses have invariably estimated a Cryogenian or Tonian origin of animals while unequivocal animal fossils first occur in the Ediacaran. However, redating of key Ediacaran biotas and the discovery of several Ediacaran crown-Metazoa prompt recalibration of molecular clock analyses. We present revised fossil calibrations and use them in molecular clock analyses estimating the timescale of metazoan evolutionary history. Integrating across uncertainties including phylogenetic relationships, clock model, and calibration strategy, we estimate Metazoa to have originated in the early Ediacaran, Eumetazoa in the middle Ediacaran, and Bilateria in the upper Ediacaran, with many crown-phyla originating across the Ediacaran-Cambrian interval or elsewise fully within the Cambrian. These results are in much closer accord with the fossil record, coinciding with marine oxygenation, but they reject a literal reading of the fossil record.

Improving the Quality of Education With School-Based Management: Challenges and Opportunities

School-based management has emerged as a decentralized approach to improving the quality of education. This article explores the challenges and opportunities of implementing school-based management to enhance the quality of education. This research uses a literature review approach with data collection techniques through documentation studies, namely collecting, reading, noting, and processing relevant literature. The research findings identified vital challenges such as lack of understanding, limited resources, resistance to Change, and lack of community participation. However, school-based management also offers significant opportunities, such as program adjustments to local needs, innovative curriculum development, increased stakeholder engagement, more efficient resource management, and enhanced accountability and transparency. These findings are compared with previous research to provide new insights and a broader perspective. In conclusion, the effective implementation of school-based management requires comprehensive and sustainable efforts, including enhancing understanding, providing adequate resources, community involvement, and applying transparent and accountable management practices.

Distant-Reading Communities: Monolingualisation in Fin-de-Siècle European Literary Historiography

Abstract A return to earlier forms of distant reading multilingual corpora allows us to reflect on the monolingual authorial position that manages and mediates the language diversity and linguistic specificity (literariness) of multilingual corpora with the objective of fostering supranational (imagined) communities of readers (Anderson, 1983). Revisiting the distant-reading practices of fin-de-siècle Britain can help us identify historiographical focal points and priorities, provide an understanding of the scope and circumference of the corpus, and reveal the conceptions of gain and loss perceived as integral to distant reading. The tension between enrichment and dispossession inherent in the practice of literary historiography is acute when it comes to multilingual corpora, compiled to facilitate a crossing and re-weaving of the boundaries of language, understanding, and community. In the 12-volume series Periods of European Literature, edited and, in part, written by the journalist, literary historian, and Chair of Rhetoric and English Literature at Edinburgh University, George Saintsbury (1845–1933), Anglophone comparatists represent the multilingual corpora of exemplar works, gauging the necessity for, or dispensability of, translation, and managing the “great unread”, which, in this case, equates the “great unreadable”. In their desire to build imagined communities of readers of European literature, Saintsbury and his contributors tend to operate in a monolingual supralinguistic sphere in which languages, authors, and works are named, passages are occasionally quoted, but in which no reading of literature, neither on the side of the comparatist, nor of the reader, takes place. Literary language is thus only tangentially part of literary historiography.

Caribbean Confederations as Relationalities

In this essay, I connect my work on Archipelago studies with Édouard Glissant’s notions of relationality and Caribbean confederations to formulate what I denominate as the erotics of archipelagic thinking. My main goal is to share my process of thinking with and through Glissant’s work to focus on a series of theoretical gestures that have allowed me to propose modes of reading literary depictions of Caribbean con/federations that go beyond the binary opposition between colonialism and nationalism. I am performing an exercise that I assign to my students when I teach the “Introduction to Critical Theory” course at the University of Miami. Instead of writing an essay with a short theoretical introduction followed by a detailed close reading of literary and cultural texts that illustrate a keyword or a theoretical insight, I conduct a methodological meditation in which I theorize the archipelagic as a form of relationality that configures an erotic imaginary beyond the nuclear family and towards affective networks. To think about the Caribbean as an archipelagic formation, I use my comparative work on the Antillean Confederation in the Hispanic Caribbean (1860-1898) and the West Indies Federation in the English Caribbean (1958-1962) as a historical context in which the region congealed as a network of locations “act[ing] in concert."

Research on the Operation Status and Development Strategy of Wechat Public Account

With the continuous development and progress of global science and technology, the demand of users is increasing, and Wechat, as an important information exchange platform, plays an indispensable role in daily communication and communication. The Wechat public account, one of its main functions, plays a major advantage in disseminating information and providing facilitation services. However, how to create a fair public account environment so that each content production subject achieves satisfactory communication effects needs to be further studied. This paper studies the operation status and development strategy of Wechat public accounts. By searching and reading relevant materials and literature, it comprehensively analyzes the content production characteristics of different types of Wechat public accounts and finds that the development of science and technology and the needs of users are the main factors that promote the rapid development of Wechat public accounts. It is characterized by diversity of content and subject, fragmentation of content production, low publicity cost and high communication efficiency, accurate positioning of users, and secondary transmission. However, there are still many problems in the operation of Wechat public accounts, such as insufficient attention from content producers, homogeneity and vulgar content, irregular time of content release, fan conversion rate, and insufficient user loyalty. Content producers can win better communication effects by releasing high-quality content, enhancing user loyalty, expanding the dissemination scope by secondary communication, and using Wechat public accounts for product marketing in multiple ways.

The Translation Quality Assessment of Google Translate’s Toward A More Critical Approach To Bio-events

There are few Chinese translation resources in paleontology, and literature reading relies heavily on machine translation, yet the translation quality cannot be guaranteed. Taking Towards a More Critical Approach toward Bio-events as a sample, this study aims to discuss the effectiveness of Google Translate in English-to-Chinese translation of paleontology literature. By comparing the translated text by Google Translate with that in Selected Papers of Theoretical Paleontology, the study assesses the translation from the perspectives of accuracy in word, sentence usage, meaning expression, logical accuracy, and readability. The assessment results show that the English-to-Chinese translation by Google Translate can accurately translate the deductive reasoning logic of the original text, and its coherence is basically consistent with the original text. However, there are paucity such as inaccurate word usage and deviations in sentence structure, leading to poor readability in some passages. This study provides insights into the use of machine translation strategies for paleontology researchers.

Mental Health Arts Festival as a tool for mental health promotion

Abstract Background of the problem 1 in 4 people experience mental health problems each year, and that number is only growing. Stigma and discrimination of mental health are widespread and affect the quality of life at the individual and societal level. The WHO identifies mental health arts festivals as an effective way to reduce stigma and improve mental health. Description of the problem We are not comfortable talking about mental health difficulties and the care we need. Consequently, individuals often withhold personal experiences to shield themselves from potential bias and harsh judgement. Methodology The Mental Health Arts Festival (MHAF) Bonds https://www.rysiaifest.lt/, https://www.facebook.com/Rysiaifest) seeks to contribute to the human rights based mental health knowledge creation across the partner organisations, involved communities and audiences, as well as contribute to local creation of artworks on the topic of mental health in open, accessible, safe space where every voice matters. The biannual MHAF brings together recognised artists, arts institutions, scientists, policy makers and communities of people with mental health issues (over 80 events, attracting about 4,500 spectators) for group exhibition, films, contemporary dance and live performances, literary readings, open microphones, followed by discussions and workshops. Qualitative study methodology is applied to assess the potential impacts of the MHAF. Lessons • Visual identity that seeks to challenge existing stigmatising views. • The festival has become the production or premier place of new artworks on the topics of mental health, spanning addiction, war-related trauma, transgenerational trauma, neurodiversity. Key messages • Mental health arts festivals promote mental health literacy and reduce negative attitudes towards health-seeking behaviour. • Art festivals should be an integral part of national programs to address stigma and promote mental health and well-being.

On Translated Modern Iraqi Fiction in English: Target Readership Perspective

English translation of modern Iraqi fiction remains uncharted territory mainly from target readers’ perception. For this purpose, the paper aims to investigate the target ordinary readers’ perception of modern Iraqi novel translated into English using a collected corpus of reviews published in Goodreads online review platform. The study adopts a case study approach to examine target readers’ comments on Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad (2013), translated by Jonathan Wright (2018). The novel has succeeded in reaping a number of international literary awards; it was also on the shortlist for the Man Booker International Prize in 2018. This paper draws on non-professional (ordinary) readers’ reviews to explore how English literary readers have welcomed, although slowly, the presence of contemporary Iraqi fiction. In line with this view of readership, a corpus of 164 text reviews and 2030 ratings were collected from Goodreads platform and analyzed to understand the ordinary English-speaking readership perception of the translated novel as to the features of a favorably received translation of Iraqi fiction. Therefore, the study has two aims to address: first, to identify the key features which may impede/enhance the non-professional readers’ enjoyment of the translated novel under study; second, to introduce a brief account of modern Iraqi translated fiction. The study is significant in that it helps to encourage future research on readers’ reception of modern Iraqi fiction translated into other languages and also to fill in a gap in literary translation studies on target ordinary readers’ perspective.

Deleuze, subjectivity, and literature as life

ABSTRACT Why is Deleuze important to literature? For Deleuze, literature is the capitalised Life, which I argue is essentially an in-betweenness based on the dissolution of transcendental Kantian-Cartesian subjectivity. This perception of literature can lead to a creative functionalistic reading of literature, including the following three functions: (1) the in-betweenness between the transcendental and the empirical, (2) the in-betweenness between the public and the private, and (3) the in-betweenness between the general and the generative. These functions which are focused on the creator perspective can alleviate the anxiety over ‘the simple application of theory in literary textual analysis’ because they encourage authors and readers alike to create concepts. It is not only an active response to the question mentioned in the beginning, but also a practice of Deleuze’s philosophy of creation.

What Kind of Cognitive Technology Is the "Memory House"?

Ancient Roman "technical memory" is not (as much of the modern specialist literature would have it) a generative technology of association. Rather it is (as a literal reading of the texts would suggest) a specialized tool for precise serial recall. Modern experimental evidence both confirms the fitness for the purpose of the technique and shows why that purpose is not trivial, as some have suggested. While the mechanism(s) by which the technique operates are not fully understood, a review of the current literature suggests that it would have had the advantage over other mnemonic techniques by virtue of recruiting a variety of cognitive capacities. These likely include spatial/navigational mechanisms and possibly visual/imagery-based ones as well. Finally, small differences between the method as recorded in the ancient texts and similar methods that have been the subject of laboratory experiments are used to suggest possible directions for further experimentation.

The CERIC method plus social collaborative annotation improves critical reading of the primary literature in an interdisciplinary graduate course

BackgroundInnovative approaches to graduate education that foster interdisciplinary learning are necessary, given the expansion of interdisciplinary research (IDR) and its ability to explore intricate issues and cutting-edge technology.PurposeThis study examines an intervention to develop critical reading skills of the primary literature (CRPL), which are often assumed and unaided by formal instruction in graduate education (GE) yet are crucial for academic success and adapting to new research fields.MethodsThis study applied mixed methods and a pre-post design to assess the effectiveness of a CRPL intervention among 24 doctoral students from diverse fields engaging in the interdisciplinary field of science policy research. The intervention was a 4-week online course with explicit instruction in a categorical reading approach, the CERIC method (claim, evidence, reasoning, implications, and context), combined with social collaborative annotation (SCA) to facilitate low-stakes, peer-based discourse practice. It examined how participation changed participants’ CRPL skills and self-perceptions.ResultsThe intervention significantly improved CRPL, t(23) = 13.6, p < 0.0001; research self-efficacy, t(23) = 4.9, p < 0.0001; and reading apprehension, t(23) = 4.3, p < 0.0001. Qualitative findings corroborated these findings and highlighted the importance of explicit CRPL instruction and the value of reading methods applicable to IDR. These results aligned with sociocultural and social cognitive theories and underscored the role of discourse and social engagement in learning critical reading, which is traditionally viewed as a solitary activity.ConclusionThe findings present a valid and innovative model for developing CRPL skills in interdisciplinary GE. This approach provides a model for scaffolding CRPL that can be adapted to IDR contexts more broadly.ImplicationsThe study findings call for revising graduate curricula to incorporate explicit CRPL instruction with peer-based discourse, emphasizing integrations in higher education anywhere students encounter primary literature. The findings advocate for formal and informal adoption of the reviewed methods, offering a significant contribution to interdisciplinary GE pedagogy.

Creativity as a Result of Teaching Primary School Children in Literary Reading

Most educational systems have in common that emphasize creative learning, where results can be objectively measured and measured, focus is on knowledge, skills and competencies. Literature plays an important role in the development of a child's personality because the reader becomes emotionally attached to the story, and this has a positive effect not only on personal growth but also on the whole learning process. The article is devoted to the topic of creativity as a result of teaching literary reading to junior schoolchildren.

A Cosmopolitan Approach to Preparing Preservice Teachers for a Diverse World

This article considers the future of teacher education through researching the impact of encouraging cosmopolitan perspectives in an undergraduate children’s literature course for preservice teachers. The research question focuses on how preservice teachers respond to reading and dialoguing through a cosmopolitan lens. Reading literature through a cosmopolitan lens entails a reflexive consideration of personal convictions and a reflective openness to learning from the perspectives of others. The results of this study provide insights into how preservice teachers understood a cosmopolitan response. The results also highlight the need for further critical inquiry into how to invite greater reflexive consciousness and reflective openness to other perspectives in preparing teachers for a diverse society.

A Sustainable Model for Engineering Project - a Stakeholder’s Perspective

For earning sustainable SMSWM many environmental, economical, social, institutional, and technical challenges have to be met in the SMSWM pathway. In developing countries like Pakistan, MSWM is a gigantic task because of mismanagement, lack of proper funds, loss of cover and recovery options, bad serial and disposal, lack of information, and an ineffective delivery system. The project is therefore geared at enhancing such a model concerning 5 tenets in the sustainability of the environment that is technical, institutional, monetary, Environmental, and social. By implication, a solid waste management system that will favor a sustainable environment relating to the above factors will be determined from reading literature doing discipline visits, and engaging in stakeholder surveys. Based on five sprint factors of sustainability, the complete work has been done and all the components have been connected and have a certain ratio. When major factors and their sub-factors are identified, specific surveys are conducted for prioritization scoring of such elements, mainly based on the importance of each issue and closer to the inputs of different stakeholders considered. A conceptual model has been developed and refined into a final format for all municipal strong waste control projects to test the model’s sustainability. The rating/weights assigned to each element are purely and utterly to the opinion of the various stakeholders from a given field.
