Historical Empathy: A Cognitive-Affective Theory for History Education in Canada
Authors: Karn Sara
Published: November 2022

Historical empathy involves a process of attempting to understand the thoughts, feelings, experiences, decisions, and actions of people from the past within specific historical contexts. Although historical empathy has been a rich area of study in history education for several decades, this research has largely taken place outside of Canada. In this article, I argue that greater attention should be paid to historical empathy in Canadian history education research and curriculum because it can support learning outcomes related to historical thinking and historical consciousness, citizenship, and decolonizing and anti-racist approaches to history education. Drawing from and commenting on other scholarship, I present a cognitive-affective theory of historical empathy which includes five elements: (1) evidence and contextualization, (2) informed historical imagination, (3) historical perspectives, (4) ethical judgements, and (5) caring. Through exploring each element and some pedagogical considerations for educators, I emphasize the affective dimensions of history to centre their importance for history education in Canada.
Journey of Broadcast Journalism in Bangladesh: Challenges and Prospects
Authors:   Associate Professor, Department of Mass Communication and Journalism, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh., Azim Shabnam
Published: November 2022

Globally, Broadcast journalism is considered the most powerful medium to influence audience. In Bangladesh, broadcast journalism thrives when private television channels started flourishing around two decades ago. Television journalism created news hungry among the masses giving hourly news bulletin. But the ongoing pandemic Covid-19 has impacted everything especially the media. During this time broadcast journalism was very crucial as people were news hungry but at the same time it was very risky as World Health Organization termed wrong messages as “Info emic”. Giving proper message to the proper audience was a big challenge. And, information scarcity made it impossible as the pandemic is new for this generation. When the broadcast journalism was impacted globally, Bangladesh was also adversely impacted. Private television channels have failed to deliver messages for all types of audiences. There is a serious concern whether the audience was analyzed properly before preparing a message. On the other hand the journey of broadcast journalism in Bangladesh is not smooth at all. From the very beginning broadcast journalism has had to face a lot of challenges and obstacles to ensure its existence in the media industry. Television journalism faces pressures either from political -financial sectors or in the question of freedom of expression. Beside this it has the biggest difficulty or challenge in delivering news, because television journalism does not have much scope to go deeper. Even there is no opportunity to make detailed or analytical, rigorous reports. Moreover, in recent period social media plays an active role in media industry, but still there is no alternative of television media. So television journalism will clearly not die down soon.
Improving Spoken Language Interpreter Services for Birthing People
Authors: Rea Samantha , Coleman Addie , Omonuwa Keiyitho , Weldense Shewit
Published: November 2022

Health disparities for perinatal people in North Carolina (NC) with limited English proficiency (LEP) are widening, including decreased access to quality prenatal care, higher-risk deliveries, disproportionate obstetric trauma, and increased postpartum depression. Several obstacles exist related to utilization and availability of medical interpreters, and without swift policy action to address these barriers to linguistically accessible care, health disparities will continue to widen. The aim of this commentary is to assist NC in developing policy that increases health equity for perinatal people with LEP. Through utilization of a socioecologic framework and SWOT analysis, we proposed four different policies related to medical interpreter services. Proposed policies were: 1) to improve the quality of training for medical interpreters by requiring that all interpreters be board certified, 2) to provide Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals and providers for interpreter services, 3) to mandate culturally-sensitive curricula in medical schools, and 4) to allocate funding for language concordant statewide perinatal education that includes information about navigating healthcare systems with LEP, patients’ rights, and patient advocacy. Current policies are insufficient to address the widening health disparities that are occurring for perinatal people with LEP. The proposed policies are worthy of consideration for implementation to further address reducing health disparities for birthing people with LEP at patient, provider, and structural levels.

Published: November 2022

Analysis of design thinking as an innovative method of forming creative skills in students is the goal of the investigation. To write the article, general scientific methods were applied. From the theoretical pedagogical methods, we highlight the approaches of concretization, generalization and abstraction. In particular, the terminological discussions regarding the concept of design thinking are defined in the results. Also in the results it is shown the connections between the development of creativity and employment; the features of the stages of its use in the education process, the role of design thinking in the formation of creativity are elaborated. In our opinion, design thinking is a principle of joint research that influences the formation of innovative team solutions and the solution of complex problems. It is concluded, that the following criteria of design thinking are the main ones: focus on cooperation, participation, anthropology and conducting experiments. Usually in pedagogy, a certain division into stages is used in the use of design thinking: empathy, focus, generation of ideas, prototyping, testing. Modern top managers recognize that the fascination with the creative component harms production processes.

Authors: Ghafoor Kanwal , Majeed Tanveer
Published: November 2022

Food and dairy industries play a very important role in the economy of every country.  Aspartic proteases are important enzyme of dairy industry and is used in cheese making. Previously main sources of protease enzyme were plants, animal or fungi, but due to increased demand globally they are now mostly isolated from bacteria. Objectives: To isolate the milk clotting bacteria from the soil collected from dumping site of Mehmood Booti and produce aspartic protease from them. Methods: Soil sample was collected from Mahmood Booti dumping site near ring road, Lahore. After serial dilutions, sample was inoculated on nutrient agar plates. After 24 hours at 37°C temperature, opaque, round and cream-colored colonies were observed which were sub cultured in LB agar. From there colonies were grown on selective medium made of K2HPO4, (NH4)2 HPO4, casein, MgCl2, yeast extract and agar. After incubation, a colony with clear zone was selected and grown in LB broth for enzyme production. After incubation, broth was centrifuged and supernatant was isolated. While performing protease assay, 3 mL of 5% TCA was added in the mixture. Results: The mixture remained clear which depicted the hydrolysis of casein by protease. While the test tube containing water as blank showed precipitation of casein after the addition of TCA because in this enzyme was not present. Conclusions: This shows that the isolated bacteria had the ability to produce protease which was evident from the protease activity assay and that such bacteria are abundant in dumping site
Microbial Degradation of Industrially Important Textile Dyes
Authors: Farhan Mehroz
Published: November 2022

The high demand for dyes in the paper, cosmetic, clothing, leather, and food industries drives up the use of dyes as a result of industrialization. As a result, wastewater production from dye manufacturing activities will rise. The presence of dyes and their structural compounds in wastewater from industrial sources place humans, animals and plants lives at risk. Synthetic dyes are more challenging to decolorize because they are more resistant to chemical and physical remediation than natural dyes. Microbial degradation has been investigated and checked mainly to speed up dye degradation. This paper discusses types of textile dyes and its biodegradation from a scientific and technological standpoint. It also compiles data on the factors that influence dye(s) biodegradation, the role of microbial species in the dye(s) degradation process, and future research directions in this field.
Recent Progress on Carotenoids Production from Microalgae: A review
Authors: Waseem Mariam
Published: November 2022

The color of fruits and green vegetables is attributed to a pigment known as carotenoids. On the basis of presence and absence of oxygen, carotenoids are divided into two categories; carotenes which do not contain oxygen and xanthophylls which are oxygen carrier. Carotenoids are not only good anti-oxidant agents; they also exhibit anti-tumor properties. The structure of carotenoids consists of eight isoprene units, which forms a chain consisting of conjugated double bonds. The presence of conjugated double bond in carotenoids neutralize free radicals by accepting electrons from them. Till now, most of the carotenoids commercially available are produced chemically however, microalgae are a good source of carotenoids. Microalgae can produce the carotenoids in abundance using two-stage cultivation strategies. In first phase, microalgae are given with optimal growth conditions for maximum production of biomass, on the other hand, keeping the second phase for the storage of lipids or carotenoids in unfavorable conditions. The production of carotenoids in two-stage approach is increased by many times than the conventional single phase cultivation method. Carotenoids have many industrial applications.
Physical Inactivity and Health
Authors: Naseer Rizmi
Published: November 2022

Health is the measure of our body’s efficiency and over-all well-being. Health triangle consisting of physical, social, and mental health is a standard for many health aspects. Physical activity (PA) is any bodily movement that uses energy produced by the skeletal muscles. It is obvious that PA is important for both social and physical development. Physical inactivity has a large-scale detrimental influence on health-related concerns such as cardiovascular disease (including hypertension and stroke), hyperlipidemia, obesity, depression, and anxiety, which is the root of many non-communicable diseases. Approximately 60-85% of the world's population is unable to meet the minimum daily PA recommendation. It is estimated that 2 million people die each year because of physical inactivity. Insufficient activity increased by 5% (from 31.6-36.8%) in high-income countries between 2001 and 2016. Globally, 81% of adolescents aged 11-17 years were insufficiently physically active in 2016 [1]. In Pakistan, levels of PA are far from adequate. Overall, sedentary lifestyle is prevalent, and 58.7% subjects had no or low PA in their routine daily lives. Medium-level PA was observed in 34.8% of male and 39.8% of female subjects [2]. Several benefits and risks are associated with physical activity. Regular physical exercise has been shown to aid in the prevention and management of noncommunicable illnesses. PA lowers the risk of some types of cancer. It can be used to control and treat type II diabetes (noninsulin-dependent), as well as to preserve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It also aids in the prevention of hypertension, the maintenance of a healthy body,  improvement of mental health and quality of life. Furthermore, PA has been used to maintain and increase weight and gives physical, social, emotional, and cognitive advantages. Promoting physical activity in the early stages of life is critical for children's and adults' healthy development. In Pakistan sedentary lifestyle is growing with rapid urbanization and modernization. Use of television, mobile and social media has increased. Number of sedentary jobs have raised in recent years and health is suffering because of all that inactivity. Several infectious and non-infectious diseases are prevailing within the population dye to physical inactivity. Following the global approach, healthy lifestyle and diet culture should be promoted in workplaces and households. Newest versions of research questionnaires and surveys used globally, need to be used in Pakistan. Different scales are needed to be devised and assessed contemplating socio-economic and geographic profile of Pakistan. National wide analysis of knowledge, attitude, and practice of is also recommended that will help stakeholders and government for taking adequate and direct initiatives for an ultimate healthy community.
Coopération du Gouvernement de la République centrafricaine et de l'UNICEF dans le traitement des cas de recrutement d'enfants soldats en République centrafricaine
Authors: Arnaud Basten
Published: November 2022

Les crises humanitaires continues en République centrafricaine sont provoquées par les conflits armés impliquant des combattants mineurs également connus sous le nom d'enfants soldats. Face à ce phénomène, le Gouvernement centrafricain tente de pallier le problème en initiant une collaboration avec l'UNICEF, espérant mettre un terme à l'utilisation et au recrutement dudit militaire mineur opérant et combattant sur l'ensemble du territoire centrafricain. L'objectif de cette recherche est d'analyser la collaboration existante entre la République Centrafricaine et l'UNICEF en décrivant dans un premier temps le conflit en République Centrafricaine puis en mettant en évidence les facteurs qui permettent le recrutement des enfants de la guerre, et en bien fournissant des analyses sur le rôle de l'UNICEF dans le traitement du cas de recrutement d'enfants soldats et les obstacles que l'organisation doit endurer depuis sa tentative de le faire dans la région de la République centrafricaine. Cette recherche utilise une méthode qualitative en collectant des données à partir de livres, de rapports d'ONG et de médias de masse. L'explication de la collaboration entre l'UNICEF et la République centrafricaine est donnée en utilisant le point de vue du libéralisme avec les perspectives des concepts de coopération et d'organisation internationale, respectivement. Cette recherche conclut que la présence d'un certain nombre d'obstacles dans le travail de collaboration entre l'UNICEF et le gouvernement de la République centrafricaine a été la principale raison pour laquelle la collaboration entre les deux acteurs n'a sans doute pas été entièrement et pleinement réussie.

Re-using the work. Sonja Åkesson’s ”A visit at Sandviken’s Ironworks” and the tradition of proletarian realism

This article examines Sonja Åkesson’s poem ”Besök på Sandvikens Jernverk” (”A visit at Sandviken’s Ironworks”, 1970), and its relation to the tradition of Swedish proletarian realism. By exploring its relations to Stig Sjödin’s collection of poems Sotfragment (Fragments of soot, 1949), and its configuration of male industrial work, the analysis shows several intertextual relations between Åkesson and Sjödin, especially at the thematic level, as they both connect to a tradition in Swedish literature critical against industrial work and capitalism. At the same time, Åkesson adds a critical gender perspective while problematizing class and the role of the poet in ways different from Sjödin.

Narrators in Tights. The Thematic Turn in Swedish Tabletop Role-Playing Games
The concept of theme in tabletop role-playing games is examined from the joint perspectives of comparative literature and game studies, focusing mainly on the independent tabletop role-playing game Supercrew by Tobias Radesäter, published in 2006. The article starts with a theoretical separation of motif and theme, where the latter represents a question, problem or issue that generates narrative by use of elements from common motifs. Against the background of Swedish and international games published 1974–2006, it is argued that Supercrew represents a turning point in Swedish role-playing game history. Earlier mainstream role-playing games generate theme mainly through settings and scenarios, whereas later games to a larger extent also gene rate theme through the game rules.
Supercrew is described as a unique example of a meta- and paragame in the superhero genre, presented entirely in the form of a comic book. It is shown how the game is influenced by American indie role-playing game design from The Forge, notably byrefe rencing the term ”narrativism”, by the introduction of conflict resolution, and by the distribution of traditional game master power. However, Supercrew does not adopt the crucial concepts of premise and theme, adapted by Ron Edwards from the theory of Lajos Egri. Instead, it regulates the relationship between real world, game world, and traditional (fantasy) game world so that it becomes the theme of the game. Referencing Gary Alan Fine’s use of frame analysis and awareness context, it is demonstrated how this is achieved by a subversion of pretense–open awareness, and by collapsing the primary, game and fantasy frames in Supercrew while keeping the traditional way of gaming as a metadiegetic reference.
The article ends by remarking that a thematic turn only implies that theme is commonly generated in a different way after the turn than it commonly was before. This does not necessarily entail that role-playing game narratives are now stronger than they once were. It is suggested that further studies could benefit from analyzing editions of the same game from before and after the turn.

Between Literature and Class. The Construction of Swedish Working-Class Literature

This article analyses the construction of Swedish working-class literature. In particular, it discusses how, at various point in time and in different contexts, emphasis has been put either on its ties to the working class or on its literariness. Special attention is given to Ivar Lo-Johansson – often viewed as the archetypical Swedish working-class writer – whose works display an ambivalent attitude; sometimes he argues that the fundamental function of working-class literature is to give expression to workers’ experiences, at other times he stresses its literary qualities. The article argues that in Sweden, working-class literature has often been viewed as a literary, rather than a social or political, phenomenon, and that this must be taken into account in scholarly definitions of this literature.

The instruments used in this study were Maxwell’s Five Leadership Levels and Goldberg’s Big-five inventory scale. The findings of this study reveal that 31% of the respondents are in Level 1 and 27% are in Level 5. Also, female managers generally have a high level of openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness and a moderate level of extroversion and neuroticism. Moreover, the five leadership levels are associated with two out of five personality traits: extroversion (X2=19.7,p=0.011) and neuroticism (X2=11.1,p=0.018). Further tests show that there are no significant differences in the leadership levels in terms of the demographic information of the respondents. These results depict that female managers think in abstract and complex ways, are highly organized and determined, have an inclination to make interaction with their team members, experience a great deal of empathy, tend to get pleasure from serving and taking care of their team members, and are relatively prone to negative emotions.

Impact and challenges of consultancy role regarding the delivery of breast Imaging services in the United Kingdom: consultant breast radiographers’ perspective
Authors: Nachalwe Mercy Chipampe , Bwanga Osward
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the common and leading cause of death in women worldwide. Imaging and radiographers play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. With the increase in demand and shortage of radiologists in the UK, consultant breast radiographers were introduced to perform some roles previously performed by radiologists. However, there is scarcity of research to assist other countries, such as Zambia who are planning to extend the role of a radiographer.

 OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact and challenges of consultancy role regarding the delivery of breast imaging services in the United Kingdom.

 MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was guided by a qualitative research design. The sample was purposively selected, and a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from consultant breast radiographers in the UK. Data saturation reached after interviewing eight participants. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and data analysed thematically.

 RESULTS: Two themes were identified: impact and challenges of consultancy role regarding the delivery of imaging breast services. The creation of consultant posts impacted positively on the service delivery: reduction in patient waiting times, career progression and job satisfaction, and reduction in the workload of radiologists. Participants also faced challenges: increased workload and time pressure, isolation and poor support from colleagues and animosity from few radiologists.

 CONCLUSION: It is evident that consultant breast radiographers have contributed greatly to improved healthcare delivery. However, they encounter challenges in their role as consultants. Radiographers undertaking new roles should be supported to improve the delivery of imaging services.
