Published: July 2021

Popular music scholarship has tended towards romance, wealth accumulation. Adequate attention has not been paid to the contributions of popular music to fight against socio-economic inequalities of various forms in Nigeria. Inequalities of various forms are part of the realities of life across climes. However, challenges of socio-economic inequalities in Nigeria and other developing countries are particularly more problematic considering the ever-widening gap between the haves and have nots in these countries. While many of the advanced countries of the world have introduced several efforts to mitigate the effects of inequalities on their citizens through the introduction of social safety nets in the area of conditional cash transfer, housing and educational system, the same could not be said about Nigeria and other sub-Sahara countries. The introduction of the Structural Adjustment Programmes of 1986 and the concomitant retrenchment of welfare services in Nigeria has since, exacerbated socio-economic challenges in the country. In addition to the efforts of the constituted governments at various levels in Nigeria, several attempts are also being made between the country and the developed countries of the world both at multilateral and bilateral levels to combat the problem of socio-economic inequalities. This study, therefore, employed archival and library methods of data collection to thematically analyzed the roles of music in combating the ever-increasing socio-economic inequalities in Nigeria, using Sẹ́gun Akinlolú’s music, ‘Small Peoples’ Anthem’ as a point of reference. The study concludes that awareness of the populace about the menace of socio-economic inequalities and their various forms remains inadequate among Nigerians. Improved advocacy and deliberate government actions are viewed as a panacea to the problem of inequality in the country.

This is because in this study the last week symptoms such as shortness of breath, weakness, pain, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, difficulty defecating, diarrhea, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, tension, difficulty walking close, lying in a chair / mattress is reduced or not. They still find it difficult to do strenuous activities, walk long distances, feel worried, have difficulty remembering and exper.ience financial difficulties. However, their lives are not disrupted due to physicality or therapy

Conclusion: The general health of breast cancer patients in the Surabaya breast cancer community is an 664.25, which describes the quality of life of cancer patients in moderate condition . It is expected that the hospital can socialize about the group of breast cancer to patients so that patients can share  experience, obtain various health-related information, and will make patients feel they have many friends with cancer fighters so that it will further improve the quality of life
The Relationship Between Psychological Conditions And Sleep Quality In The Covid-19 Rooms
Authors: Widiastuti Widiastuti , Nirmalasari Novita
Published: July 2021

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to cause severe psychological harm. Psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress, and disturbances are common among health care workers. The factors causing stress in health workers include workload, fear of being infected with COVID-19, the negative stigma of virus carriers, and being away from family. The research purposed to know the relationship between psychological condition and sleep quality.

Methods: The research population consists of all nurses who have worked in the covid room. This research used descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach. The samples were collected using a simple random sampling technique with 30 respondents as inclusion and exclusion criteria. The questionnaires Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were completed by the respondent. Data analysis was used Chi-Square.

Results: Most of the respondents were females (66,67%) over the age of 30 (70%).  Most of them had a nursing education diploma (60%). They were dominant and had normal levels of depression (96,67%), anxiety (86,67%), and stress (93,33%). Most of them had poor sleep quality (63,33%). According to the findings, the p-values for depression, anxiety, and stress in sleep quality were 0.43, 0.73, and 0.26. It represents that no relationship exists between one variable and another. Meanwhile, some respondents have mild depression, moderate anxiety, and mild stress with poor sleep quality.

Conclusion: Poor psychological conditions are still found in nurses, which can interfere with the quality of nursing services. Additional nursing interventions are required to improve nurses' psychological well-being.

Further Cooling Improvement by Use of Chamfers in Front/top of Electronic Components
Authors: Saleha Nemdili , Fadéla Nemdili , Abbès Azzi
Published: July 2021

This paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamic computation based on Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations (RANS) and the Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulence model. The targeted application is the cooling process of an electronic component, which is represented by a heated wall-mounted cube exposed to an impinging jet in cross flow. In a previously published study, it was shown that adding chamfers on top of the cube, the flow structure is radically changed in favor of a significant improvement in cooling efficiency. In an attempt to determine which of the four faces has the greatest contribution to improving cooling, this study presents a detailed numerical investigation for five different cases. Namely, a base cube without chamfer, a cube with four chamfers on its upper part, a cube with a chamfer on the front face, a cube with chamfer on the back face and finally a cube with chamfers on the side faces. For the same ReH = 3410 cross-flow Reynolds number, three levels of incident jets are tested as well as a jet-free case, which will serve as a reference case for comparison. Comparing the different cases, it has been found that the case of a chamfer on the front face is the most efficient and therefore contributes effectively to the improvement of the cooling efficiency

Henryk Kuna and Tymon Niesiołowski – New Trends in the Artistic Culture of Vilnius in the 1930s
Authors: Czerwonnaja Swietłana
Published: July 2021

In the 1930s, the painter Tymon Niesiołowski and the sculptor Henryk Kuna were considered the most striking figures in the fine arts field in Vilnius. They were tied together not only by the bonds of creative consolidation, but also by personal friendship. Their work, as well as their pedagogical activity in the Department of Fine Arts of Stephen Báthory University, contributed, one might say, to the “late revival of the avant-garde” that took place in the artistic culture of Vilnius in the 1930s.

Published: July 2021

The current study was carried out to investigate both morphological and histochemical features of pineal gland in goat. Eight samples of pineal glands were used. The morphological study was involved the position, relation, weight, length and width of the glands. The tissue sections were prepared for paraffin embedding technique and stained with Hematoxyline & Eosin, Masson trichrom, Alizarin and PAS stains. The morphological result of pineal showed slightly irregular round-spherical shaped, grayish white in color. It located in the same mid-depression between the thalami body and two colliculi. The weight of gland was 0.478±0.02 mg and measured 2.10±0.06mm in length and 2.52±0.15mm in width. Histologically, the pineal gland has enveloped by a smooth thin layer of loose connective tissue capsule showed less trabiculae that carried the blood vessels into gland and the trabiculae have composed of fine collagen fibers. The glandular parenchyma showed marked lobular pattern of division with marked lighter central region which showed less cellular population. The glandular lobule consisted of three types of cells; Type I pinealocytes or dark pinealocytes, the second type was the less populated type II pinealocytes or light pinealocytes and the third type was the glial cell. The Alizarin stain was revealed multiple of variable size calcium patches within collagen fibers. The cytoplasmic contents of both pinealocytes types I & II showed no glycogen granules.

Published: July 2021

Con el fin de describir la dinámica poblacional de la broca, en la Estación Experimental Naranjal (Chinchiná, Caldas), se seleccionaron dos lotes de café Coffea arabica var. Castillo®, uno a libre exposición y otro bajo sombrío, cada uno de una hectárea. A partir de la formación de los primeros frutos, mensualmente en cada lote, en 30 árboles seleccionados aleatoriamente, se determinó la población de broca por árbol, los vuelos de los adultos mediante capturas en 70 trampas de alcohol y se mapeó el movimiento del insecto dentro del lote, durante cuatro años; los datos obtenidos se relacionaron con los eventos climáticos. Se encontró una mayor densidad poblacional de broca en cultivos de café con sombrío durante los eventos El Niño y Neutro, con promedios por árbol de 2.674±213,9 individuos y 1.675±95 individuos de broca, respectivamente, en contraste con 1.326±105,2 y 516±23 a libre exposición para los dos eventos climáticos; durante La Niña, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre los dos sistemas de producción, con bajos niveles de población. Los vuelos de la broca fueron mayores en el lote con sombrío en períodos El Niño, con capturas de 23.645±1.352 adultos en contraste con períodos La Niña, con 997±92 individuos. De acuerdo con los mapas, el movimiento de la broca dentro de los dos sistemas de producción se dio de manera agregada, según la Ley de poder de Taylor, siendo el coeficiente de regresión lineal (ß) mayor que 1, según el estadístico de prueba t, al 5%.
Using Appreciative Inquiry to Optimize a Person-Centered Care Training Program for Clinical Champions in Rural Critical Access Hospitals
Authors: Buck Harleah G. , Boltz Marie , Madrigal Caroline , Eshraghi Karen , Kolanowski Ann M.
Published: July 2021

Person-centered care (PCC) involves shared decision-making between the individual and provider and is widely recognized as the gold standard of care. However, not all organizations have successfully implemented PCC, especially those in rural settings with limited resources. Implementation strategies, such as clinical champions, are key to PCC uptake. The purpose of the current article is to illustrate how Appreciative Inquiry, a strengths-based framework for transformational change, can be used to optimize a successful PCC champion training program. Appreciative Inquiry employs the quality improvement processes of (a) define, (b) discover, (c) dream, (d) design, and (e) deliver/destiny. Using Appreciative Inquiry, we were able to identify three new long-term goals and add supporting features to an existing champion training program. The methods developed herein could be implemented by researchers and evidence-based practice councils to improve the care of older adults in any care setting to make it more person-centered. [

Resolution of Foveal Lipid Deposition in Adult-Onset Coats Disease With Combined Focal Laser Photocoagulation and Anti-VEGF Therapy
Authors: Xu Xiaoyu , Essilfie Juliet , Gong Yuanyuan , Yu Su-Quin , Freund K. Bailey
Published: July 2021

A major cause of poor visual prognosis in Coats disease is the formation of fibrovascular changes following dense foveal lipid deposition. The authors document the multimodal imaging findings of a 38-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man with adult-onset Coats disease who presented with macular edema and foveal lipid accumulation. Thermal laser targeting individual capillary macroaneurysms combined with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy was performed. Although there was a subsequent increase in foveal lipid immediately following the resolution of macular edema, these lipids largely resolved, leaving behind no evidence macular neovascular fibrosis. This report highlights the potential protective effect of combination therapy with thermal laser and intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy for macular exudation associated with Coats disease.

Self-Induced Bilateral Retinal Detachments and Traumatic Cataracts in a Patient With Bohring-Opitz Syndrome
Authors: Hanes; Madeline , Rahman Effie Z. , Wong Robert W. , Harper C. Armitage
Published: July 2021

A 9-year-old female with a history of Bohring-Opitz syndrome (BOS), Down syndrome, and autism initially presented with bilateral cataracts and a total retinal detachment in her left eye secondary to chronic self-injurious behavior. The authors report the first case of self-induced retinal detachment and traumatic cataracts in a patient with BOS. For patients who present with self-injurious behavior, the authors advocate for behavioral modifications at home, including the use of “no-no's,” supplemental medication if necessary, and behavioral therapy to reduce the risk of self-induced visual injury. The authors also suggest the use of 25-gauge vitrectomy with silicone oil for retinal detachment repair. Finally, given the high risk of irreversible vision loss from amblyopia and recurrent retinal detachments in children with BOS and self-injurious behavior, the authors recommend regular 2-month interval ophthalmic follow-up.

The Philip Seymour Hoffman Project
Authors: Kovacs Rachel S.
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this chapter, and the class project upon which it is based, has been to demonstrate the prosocial role social media, and in particular Facebook, can play in media literacy, by providing a framework for showcasing rigorous student research and harnessing creative responses to salient social welfare and policy issues. Specifically, Facebook can potentially raise awareness of opioid abuse, which has spiraled into a global epidemic, provide narratives that reach broader audiences, and thus fill a gap in substantive mainstream media coverage on the topic. The chapter traces the evolution and progress of a student project in a media literacy class at a New York public university and puts efforts to address the current opioid crisis in an historical context. The immediate catalyst for the project was the sudden, tragic, heroin-related death in 2014 of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, but the “bigger picture” has been broader communities. This study may interest media educators, their educational institution, government agencies, and health institutions that deal with health policy.
Framing Family Planning
Authors: Salaudeen Mistura Adebusola
Published: July 2021

Given the population explosion and high rate of maternal and infant mortality prevalent in many developing countries, family planning has been promoted as method of controlling the population growth and stemming the occurrence of these birth-related deaths with the mass media as the major campaign tools. This study examined the coverage of family planning-related news in selected Nigerian online newspapers from September 2017 to April 2019, measuring the presence of eight news frames. A quantitative content analysis of the stories revealed that family planning news frequently fell within the attribution of responsibility frame and solution frame. However, it was observed that not enough media attention was given to address misconceptions about family planning, and stories prompting readers to take action on family planning significantly outnumber stories that provided help-seeking information necessary to take such actions. The results provide important insights of how family planning news is reported in Nigerian newspapers.
Online Social Support Groups/Communities
Authors: Ngenye Liza , Wright Kevin
Published: July 2021

Numerous studies over the past two decades suggest that people with a variety of health concerns are increasingly turning to online networks for social support. This has led to the rise of online support groups/communities for people facing health concerns. Researchers have found that these groups/communities provide patients, disease survivors, and caregivers a number of advantages and disadvantages in terms of mobilizing social support for their health-related concerns. This chapter will examine these issues in greater detail as well as the theoretical and practical implications of this body of research for patients who use online support communities to help cope with and manage a variety of health issues. It will provide an overview of online social support and health outcomes, discuss key processes and theoretical explanations for the efficacy of online support communities for people facing health concerns, and the limitations of this body of research as well as an agenda for future communication research on health-related online support groups/communities.
Impact of Patient Health Education on the Screening for Disease Test-Outcomes
Authors: Edoh Thierry O. C.
Published: July 2021

Screening for diseases is a medical process to predict, prevent, detect, and cure a disease in people at high risk. However, it is limited in the quality and accuracy of the outcomes. The reason for this is the lack of long-term data about the health condition of the patient. Launching modern information and communication technology in the screening process has shown promise of improving the screening outcomes. A previous study has shown that patient education can positively impact the patient behavior face to a disease and can empower the patient to adopt a healthy lifestyle and thus avoid certain diseases. Offering medical education to the patient can positively impact screening outcomes since educated and empowered patients are more aware of certain diseases and can collect significant information. This can minimize the rate of false positive as well as false negative screening results. This chapter analyzes how medical education can contribute to improving screening outcomes.
Social Support Through Digital Media?
Authors: Çobaner Aslıhan Ardıç , Bek Mine Gencel
Published: July 2021

This chapter aims to analyze the use of online support groups for breast cancer in Turkey. After describing the general characteristics of such groups, the authors closely analyze the two Facebook groups on breast cancer. The analysis focuses on how the patients read the illness and their struggle to cope with the illness; how social support mechanisms are used; and which aims and motivations are foregrounded. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques are used in the research. Informed by the international research literature, the chapter also tries to underline the similarities and differences of online social media in the Turkish context. Although the main purpose of the groups is to share information, emotional empathy and shared personal experience are also obvious.

Published: July 2021

In this study, the authors examine patient use of and feelings about wearable technologies for health attainment and management. Based on an online survey of 81 patients using wearable technologies to track and manage health, as well as interviews with three patients utilizing wearables for health management, the authors examine how wearable technologies are being used by patients to attain health, manage health, and/or prevent health issues, and what value users find in these wearable technologies. The authors also examine how such use is impacting communication between medical professionals and patients. Specifically, the authors explore how the inclusion of wearable technologies has changed the “rhetorical relationship” between patients and medical professionals. The study concludes with a discussion of the future of wearable devices in patient-medical practitioner relationships and clinical settings.

Authors: Eken ihsan , Gezmen Basak
Published: July 2021

With the development of new communication technologies and the change and transformation of mobile applications, communication styles also acquire a different dimension. Currently, individuals can access information about many health-related issues easily and quickly. Mobile applications also provide support to individuals in this area anywhere at any time. However, awareness about mobile applications and their availability is important at this point. While the transformation in the technological field makes life easier for users, not everyone (young, old, disabled, etc.) enjoys the advantages equally. In this study, user-based usability testing will be carried out on the axis of E-nabız application with female users above 65 years selected according to certain criteria. The E-nabız application is a platform for all citizens registered to the E-devlet system to access health information. In this context, besides pointing out the accessibility problems of the application, possible solutions will also be offered.

This chapter is an overview of student interest in scholastic esports, as well as the ties between extracurricular participation and student success. The author provides resources for overcoming obstacles present in the implementation of a scholastic esports program. Student interest in esports is current and is only continuing to grow. By implementing an esports program, teachers and administrators can meet students where their own interests are and possibly create a program that rivals or surpasses interest in other activities at their schools. The author has assisted many schools in starting their own scholastic esports programs and addresses some common misconceptions, provides resources for further research, and outlines some concerns and obstacles that might be faced when starting a program.
Writing About the Self as a Vital Component of Preparing Doctoral Students to Write for Research and Publication
Authors: Lesley Mellinee K.
Published: July 2021

Although many faculty express concern about the writing ability of doctoral students, research on writing instruction at the graduate level in the social sciences has not been given sustained attention and, consequently, tends to be disjointed in scope and focus. Thus, this chapter synthesizes research over writing instruction with doctoral students to identify trends in approaches and methods that help students become “insiders” as researcher—writers in a disciplinary discourse community. Framing scholarly writing through an introspection-exposition continuum, the chapter explores ways to support doctoral students' development of a writing identity as scholars. Three techniques of narrative, montage, and vignette writing are described as ways to cultivate students' authorial voice, dispositions, and habits of mind as scholarly writers.
Heeding the Call of America's Youth
Authors: Matey Crystal
Published: July 2021

This chapter argues that English teacher educators must meet the needs in secondary English classrooms created by a growing diversity gap between students and the teachers who teach them. Those needs can be met, at least in part, by a curriculum that includes critical pedagogy in relation to the study of Young Adult literature about race. English teacher educators must model for pre-service teachers what careful Young Adult literature text selection looks like and train them regarding how to talk about racial justice in their future classrooms. If English education programs fail to incorporate Young Adult literature that focuses on race into their college classrooms, they are doing not only future teachers a disservice, but they are also contributing to and sustaining the systemic racism and the cycle of oppression that so often occurs in secondary English classrooms.

Students in the class investigated and discussed several critical issues in the children's literature field. Students' perspectives of participating in constructive controversy are shared, and recommendations are made to support instructors seeking to implement constructive controversy in hybrid or online classroom settings.
Diverse Literature and Place-Based Education Through Study Abroad, Partnerships, and Pedagogy
Authors: Swain Holly Hilboldt , Hodges Tracey S.
Published: July 2021

As the reading lives of teachers are also connected to their reading instruction with their early childhood and elementary students, one emphasis of preservice literacy courses is to encourage future teachers to read and consider diverse texts and the emotional and empathetic connections with them. Through the development of an appreciation for diverse picture books and their value within classrooms, preservice teachers are more prepared to integrate these texts throughout the content areas. This chapter explores place-based education in a teacher preparation program and (1) defines and provides theoretical support for using place-based education to prepare preservice teachers to instruct with children's literature; (2) discusses five ways the authors engage preservice teachers in place-based education: Children's Literary Tour of London and Paris (study abroad), Children's Book Festival Collaboration, Family Literacy Nights, Partnerships with Librarians, and Instagram Challenges; and (3) discusses each of these research-informed experiences and shares examples.
A Critique of Likert-Response Items in Social Science Research
Authors: Winston Bruce E.
Published: July 2021

This chapter critiques the use of the Likert response items for scale development. Likert response data when as nominal data and analyzed as nominal data is useful for recording and analyzing participants' attitudes about a topic. However, it is illogical for researchers who use Likert response data as interval data. The typical five or seven-item Likert response provides three response methods for each topic under study: a neutral item that is categorical, a two or three-item negatively worded ordinal scale, and a two or three-item positively worded ordinal scale. While Likert suggested scoring the five-item response with the numbers 1-5 and scoring the seven-item response with numbers 1-7, it places the neutral response in the 3rd or 4th position, which, if treating the data as interval means that 'neutral' scores higher than the Strongly Disagree-Disagree and lower than the Agree-Strongly Agree items, is not a logical outcome.
Vision Conflict Scale
Authors: Spencer J. Louis , Winner W. David
Published: July 2021

This chapter presents the development of a scale that measures vision conflict, which refers to the disparity between what a minister anticipates a ministry to be like versus the real-life experience. Vision conflict is correlated with four similar phenomena, including role ambiguity, negative job satisfaction, negative values congruence, and negative ability-job fit. The scale addresses key factors that may affect pastoral terminations and exits from church ministry. It also encourages the understanding of critical elements that hinder pastoral effectiveness and create a stronger resilience to exiting the ministry.

For this purpose, the chapter plans to present the strategies that can be taken as a basis in overcoming the problems encountered in online distance learning in terms of learner, learning environment, and guide (instructor) with the theoretical background of the types of interaction in online learning that is suggested by Moore.
Leading From the Top
Authors: Englert Patrick
Published: July 2021

Higher education institutions represent powerful structures that both empower and disenfranchise students, faculty, administrators, and communities, influencing the possibilities of progress and inclusion. This chapter focuses on the role presidents have as agents of ongoing engagement in civic and democratic ideals and efforts. In the midst of a global pandemic, police violence, racial injustice, and the conclusion to a divisive four-year presidency, 2020 presented college and university presidents with unique challenges on their campuses. Leading a campus is further complicated by competing interests and the identities of presidents themselves with most presidents identifying as white men in their 60s. Lastly, this chapter will share examples of best practices demonstrating ways in which presidents are driving democracy and civic engagement in varying ways centered in recent world events such as the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, violent deaths of Black community members, and the presidential election.
