Authors: Ullah Asad , Shah Mussawar
Published: March 2020

The major objective of this research study was to assess the impact of corruption upon the prevalent social values in Peshawar city, Pakistan. A sample size of 150 respondents was selected through stratified random sampling to ascertain respondents’ attitudes towards phenomena at hand with Likert scale as measurement tool. At first stage uni-variate analysis and then bi-variate analysis were carried out to determine outcomes. The dependent variable (corruption perception) was cross-tabulated with the independent variable (social values and its societal aspects). A chi-square test was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variables. In addition, Gamma (g) statistics were applied to determine the strength and direction of the relationship. The study found a significant and positive association between corruption perception with social values safeguarding the interest of rich (P=0.022), morality as existing behavioral standard in society (P=0.000), experience of corruption (P=0.000), significance of social pressure (P=0.000), use of social pressure (P=0.000), degradation of social values in society due to corruption (P=0.000), biased evaluative standards for various social classes (P=0.000). In addition, people who refused to accept and pay bribes, had followers in the society (P=0.037), increasing the magnitude of corruption with an increase in official rank (P=0.007), and finally, that an ethical environment based on social norms and values reduces corruption (P=0.000). The study concluded that, in the site of study, the social order is under deterioration due to corruption assuming the status of an emerging social value due to its practice amongst members of society in various fields of life. However, people still considered the prevalent social order strong enough to combat this changing dynamic by creating an ethical environment based on social alienation for those who acted corruptly.

Authors: Sreen Amit , Sharma Prafull , Guleria Vivek , Verma Niket
Published: March 2020

Background: Stroke in young poses a major health problem. Various Indian studies have shown the incidence of stroke to be 10-15%. Cerebral venous thrombosis and rheumatic heart disease are the leading causes of stroke in the young in India. Thrombophilic factors have been implicated in 4-8% of the young strokes worldwide. Protein C deficiency is the most common thrombophilia marker followed by a deficiency of protein S, Factor V Leiden mutation, and antithrombin (AT) deficiency. Aims and objectives was the study of stroke in young is important for various reasons. The etiology and risk factors are more diverse and different as compared to the elderly. Therefore, these may indicate separate therapeutic approaches. The aim is to study the profile of ischemic stroke cases among the young.Methods: The study was carried out at a tertiary care defence hospital between December 2018 to December 2019. All cases of fresh ischemic stroke who were more than 15 and less than 45 years of age were included. Following clinical evaluation, patients underwent complete haemogram, blood sugar levels, lipid profile and other metabolic parameters. All patients were subjected to chest radiography, 12 lead ECG, and 2D echocardiography, Non-contrast CT head and MRI brain. Prothrombotic work up was also done.Results: A total of 41 patients (12.69%) presented with ischemic stroke before 45 years of age. Out of these 10 (24%) were females and 31 (76%) were male. None of the women smoked or consumed alcohol. Among the males, 19 (47%) smoked more than 10 cigarettes or bidis per day and 9 (22%) were moderate-to-heavy drinkers of alcohol. Hypertension was present in 7 (18%) and diabetes mellitus in 3 (7%) patients. Serum cholesterol was elevated in 7 (18%) patients and triglycerides in 17 (42%). Protein S deficiency was found in 28.8% patients, while protein C deficiency was detected in 21% patients and antithrombin III deficiency in 12% patients.Conclusions: Although traditional risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking, are associated with stroke in both elderly and young, this study shows that other modifiable risk factors such as alcohol consumption were also prevalent. The most common etiological cause was found to be venous infarction followed by cardio embolic cause. Deficiency of Protein S was the most common prothrombotic defect followed by deficiency of Protein C.

Becoming Backpack: Towards a Counter-Inscription of Young Adult Collegian Identity Work
Authors: Clark/Keefe Kelly
Published: March 2020

This article invites readers to encounter the author’s early attempts at engaging creatively with data produced during a research project called Life Lines: The Art of Being Alive to Young Adulthood. Launched in January 2019, the Life Lines project was conceived as a critical participatory arts-engaged research endeavor aimed at opening up conventional theoretical wisdom about the nature of young adult college student identity formation. In addition to providing details of the inquiry project’s design and aims, a series of visual and poetic prose narratives open and become threaded throughout the article. These multimodal expressive forms function as a type of creative counter-inscription device, working both to complicate identity development models that limit subjectivity to human consciousness and agency, and to illustrate a more expansive, somatically attuned, and materially-entangled set of practices and productions of young adult identity work’s work and its study.

Gloria, canon, quand est-ce et poteau télégraphique : les boissons alcooliques et l’action de s’enivrer dans l’argot des sublimes
Authors: Hardy Stéphane
Published: March 2020

Denis Poulot naquit à Gray-la-Ville, au nord de Dijon, le 3 mars 1832. Après son parcours à l’École des Arts et Métiers de Châlons, il s’installa à Paris pour y débuter sa première étape professionnelle avant de s’établir comme entrepreneur et de fonder plusieurs fabriques. En partageant la vie de ses ouvriers, leurs conditions de travail, leurs habitudes ainsi que leurs contestations quotidiennes, Poulot eut, en tant que patron, une occasion unique de pouvoir étudier de très près leur façon de s’exprimer. Il en résulta son ouvrage Question sociale. Le Sublime ou le travailleur tel qu’il est en 1870, et ce qu’il peut être (1870) dont l’argot desdits sublimes, qui s’y trouve mentionné, échappa, jusqu’à présent, à une étude linguistique, voire argotologique. Sans qu’elle soit exhaustive, on trouvera, dans cet article, l’essentiel de la liste des unités lexicales et des expressions propres à l’argot des sublimes se focalisant sur le domaine des boissons alcooliques, sur l’action de boire et de s’enivrer et, enfin, sur les différentes dénominations du marchand de vin ainsi que sur celles désignant son établissement.
Analyse lexicale du vocabulaire concernant le fait de boire du vin d’après le Dictionnaire comique de Ph.-J. Le Roux (1786) et le Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française (1798)
Authors: Posturzyńska-Bosko Małgorzata
Published: March 2020

Le but de cet article est de montrer et d’analyser un répertoire des termes relatifs aux habitudes de boire du vin des Français à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. L’analyse des données lexicales de deux dictionnaires de différentes conceptions lexicographiques, à savoir Dictionnaire comique, satyrique, critique, burlesque, libre et proverbial de Philibert-Joseph Le Roux de 1786 et Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française de 1798 (5e éd.), montre à quel point boire du vin était une distraction préférée, indépendamment du statut social. On trouve dans ces dictionnaires une surprenante richesse des termes décrivant la culture de la boisson, les types de vin, les rituels qui l’accompagnent, qui sont, dans la plupart des cas, des activités peu subtiles. Cette image précieuse est complétée par les expressions à l’aide desquelles on peut préciser le degré d’ivresse, les effets causés par le vin ; on y trouve aussi une panoplie de comportements après la consommation, une kyrielle de noms pour des vins de catégorie plutôt inférieure.
« Le fondement d’une affreuse existence », ou ce que boivent les princes des ténèbres
Authors: Szkopiński Łukasz
Published: March 2020

La Vampire, ou la vierge de Hongrie (1825) d’Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon (1786-1864) fait partie d’un groupe fort hétérogène de romans gothiques, genre particulièrement fécond à la fin du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle. Le but principal de la présente étude est d’analyser le rôle joué par le sang dans l’ouvrage en question. Afin de mieux développer cet aspect du roman, nous esquisserons d’abord l’avènement du concept de vampire en Europe occidentale au XVIIIe siècle, en mettant particulièrement l’accent sur le rôle de Dom Augustin Calmet (1672-1757) et de son Traité sur les apparitions des esprits et sur les vampires (1751) dans ce processus. Par la suite, nous nous pencherons sur la manière dont Lamothe-Langon explore les traits typiquement vampiriques en construisant le personnage principal de son ouvrage, la démoniaque Alinska.

Published: March 2020

Gelişen iletişim teknolojileri cep telefonlarının da gelişmesine ve birçok fonksiyonu yerine getirmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Yaygın ve sık olarak kullanılan cep telefonları, insanlarda bazı davranış ve duygu bozukluklarına yol açabilmektedir. Nomofobi de bu bozukluklardan biridir ve insanların cep telefonlarından uzak kalma korkusu olarak adlandırılmaktadır. Nomofobi çeşitli demografik değişkenler (genç yaş), kişilik özellikleri (dışa dönüklük), duygular (gelişmeleri kaçırma korkusu) ve ihtiyaçlar (dokunsal ihtiyaç) ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Klinik psikoloji açısından nomofobinin kökenlerinde depresyon, kaygı ve stresin etkisini araştırılmıştır. Nomofobinin tanı ölçütleri geliştirilmiş ve bir psikiyatrik tanı olarak DSM-5’e kabul edilmesi için öneriler geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada nomofobi; ayrılık kaygısı, obsesif kompülsif bozukluk, panik bozukluk, dürtü kontrol bozukluğu ve bağımlılık gibi ruhsal rahatsızlıklarla ayırıcı tanı ölçütleri açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.

The present study aimed to investigate the influences of experimental variables, i.e. hydrothermal treatments (whithout and treated) and convective drying temperatures (70, 80 and 90°C) on the quality characteristics of okara powders. The quality parameters of the okara powder studied in this experiment consisted of color attributes, particle density, water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, pH, viscosity, and non-enzymatic browning. The results showed that the quality of okara powders varied depending on the experimental variables. Hydrothermal treatment and drying of okara at lower temperatures could increase the brightness (L value) from 62.37 to 70.23, and increased the b value of okara powder color from 43.65 to 49.16. However, the particle density (1.04-1.35 g/cm3) and pH value (6.48-6.78) of okara powders were not significantly affected by hydrothermal treatment. The okara powder solution with hydrothermal treatment (2.10-4.50 cP) showed a lower average viscosity value compared to okara powder without hydrothermal treatment ((2.60-4.80 cP). The study also concluded that okara powder absorbed significantly more water rather than absorbing oil, as indicated by the value of water absorption capacity (4.7-5.7 mL/g), which greater than oil absorption capacity (1.1-1.4 mL/g). Non-enzymatic browning occurrence on okara powder samples (OD = 0.52-0.66) was more affected by the drying temperature than hydrothermal treatment.

Cookies is snacks made from wheat flour. Wheat flour contains gluten which cannot be consumed by people with celiac diseases and autism. MOCAF is a modification of cassava flour that changes functional properties and can be used to substitute wheat flour. The use of MOCAF produces cookies that are hard-textured, so it is necessary to add arrowroot flour. Arrowroot flour was chosen because it contains low calories and non-gluten. Maltodextrin was used as maker crispy and binder ingredients. The research aimed were to determine the effect of MOCAF and arrowroot flour proportion and maltodextrin addition to the cookies characteristics, and determine the best alternative cookies processing. This research used factorial randomized block design with two factors. First factor was MOCAF and arrowroot flour proportion (T) with three levels (T1=100%:0%, T2=95%:5%, T3=90%:10%) and second factor was maltodextrin concentration (M) with three levels (M1=2%, M2=4%, M3=6%). Parameters research were proximate analysis, calories, yield, ability to swell, and organoleptic properties. The alternative selection used Expectation Value method. The results showed that there were no interactions between treatments on all research parameters, T treatment was significantly different on all organoleptic parameters, M treatment was significantly different on yield, fat and carbohydrate content, organoleptic properties, and the chosen treatment was T2M3 with expectation value was 8.21.

Subject content of foreign language teaching in the professional sphere of students of “Agricultural Engineering” programme based on content and language integrated learning
Authors: Baydikova Tatiana V.
Published: March 2020

Content and language integrated learning of a foreign language and specialty is one of the new approaches to foreign language teaching in the professional sphere of non-linguistic programmes students. In the framework of this approach, a foreign language is the purpose of learning, as well as a means of studying a profile specialty. In this regard, the discipline “Foreign Language in Professional Sphere” allows students to continue to form general professional and professional competencies. One of the key issues in the implementation of content and language integrated learning is the development of the subject content of teaching. The implementation of the methodic principle of reliance on intersubject connections allows us to develop the corresponding subject content of the discipline, reflecting the specifics of the students’ future professional work. We conduct and develop: a) description of the methodic principle of reliance on intersubject connections; b) analysis of researhes on the development of the subject content of foreign language teaching in the professional sphere of non-linguistic programmes students; c) the subject content proposed by the author of the discipline “Foreign Language in Professional Sphere” for students of four profiles of the “Agricultural Engineering” programmes: “Technological Equipment for Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products”, “Technical Systems in Agricultural Business”, “Technical Service in the Agricultural Sector” and “Electrical Equipment and Electrical Technologies in the Agricultural Sector”.
Relations of B.P. Mansurov with the chiefs of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem (1859-1885)
Authors: Gravin Artyom A. , Levin Oleg Y.
Published: March 2020

The study is devoted to the activities of an official on special instructions B.P. Mansurova in Palestine and his relationship with the chiefs of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission - Archimandrite Porfiry (Uspensky), Bishop of Melitopol Kirill (Naumov), Archimandrite Antoninin (Kapustin). The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the need to restore the overall picture of the Russian presence formation in the Holy Land. The novelty of the study consists in introducing into the scientific circulation sources from the personal fund of the Mansurovs’ documents from the State Archives of the Tambov Region (F. 978). It is shown that a significant part of B.P. Mansurov correspondence with Porfiry (Uspensky) was devoted to the problem of finding and organizing a marina for the reception of Russian pilgrims on Mount Athos. The Russian Society of Shipping and Trade was to act as a carrier of pilgrims. We reveal that B.P. Mansurov relations with Kyrill (Naumov) and Antonon (Kapustin) were accompanied by constant conflicts. The reason was the discrepancy between the interests of the Church and the state in the Holy Land. The church was oriented toward caring for the Mission, spiritual enlightenment, the life of pilgrims, and the state pursued the goal of protecting the interests of the Russian Empire in the Middle East. We establish that in the relations of B.P. Mansurova with the leaders of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission clearly manifested the problems of church and state relations of the Synodal period. In its activities, the Mission had to be guided by the instructions and consent of state institutions of the Russian Empire, sometimes to the detriment of inter-church relations, the cause of Christian enlightenment of the people.
Methodical system of masters students written academic discourse education with group blog using
Authors: Dronov Ivan S.
Published: March 2020

A characteristic feature of the vast majority of activity spheres in the modern education system is their systematization. The latest higher education standards center the teacher’s activity around the system and activity approach. That causes the need for its application in the use of information and communications technologies as a means of teaching a foreign language. We give the author’s definition of the term “methodical learning system”, which is interpreted as a component-related system of learning conditions, realizing its methodological potential through the interaction of participants in the educational process aimed at achieving the goal. This system includes five consecutive blocks, including: 1) prerequisites (modern requirements of the Federal Educational Standard of Higher Education), social order for training in the field of written academic discourse, contradictions between the linguodidactic potential of the study group blog, the lack of practical methods of teaching written academic discourse; 2) block target definition (goals and objectives of training); 3) theoretical justification block (list of principles of teaching written academic discourse, approaches to teaching written academic discourse); 4) functional block (organizational and pedagogical conditions, contents and methods of training, means and organizational forms of training); 5) evaluation block system operation results (components of evaluation of educational and cognitive activity, the learning process result). We note methodical system training integrity on the basis of property of integrativity promoting optimization of all components which general interaction is directed on achievement of the training purpose. The goal, for its part, is a system-forming element.

Waking Life: The Destiny of Cinema’s Dreamscape; or the Question of Old and New Mediations
Authors: Hadjioannou Markos
Published: March 2020

In light of the current transition from celluloid to digital cinema, this paper will explore the relation between old and new technologies as a means for understanding medium specificity as an activity of mediation. While the ongoing debate in screen studies aims at clarifying the extent of digital technology’s effects, it seems that the new technology is either being interpreted as inducing a rupture in film history clearly distinct from celluloid, or as directly repeating strategies, goals, forms, and impulses specific to an indexical and analogical visual culture. Indeed, the desire to acknowledge points of divergence or close interaction between technological forms is unquestionably useful; but my own approach to the technological change takes into account both the differences and similarities of forms as a means of exploring medium specificity. This will be a matter of dealing with the new as not new or old, but new and old – as simultaneously distinct and interactively interrelated, so that each medium acquires a space of its own without fixed boundaries. Rather than merge the one form into the other, the ontological explication of a medium may take account of its specific technological base while simultaneously paying attention to previous technologies that reside in it intact yet affected by the contextual possibilities of the new. Newness, thus understood, becomes a complex concurrency of differences and similarities that shift the borders of distinct forms in unexpected and continually renewable ways. With this in mind, I will discuss an example of digital mediation through Richard Linklater’s Waking Life (2001), with a focus on the digital’s power for a creative interpretation of reality’s experience.
From Contamination to Community: Octavia Butler's Clay's Ark
Authors: Sundaram Neeraja
Published: March 2020

This paper examines the trope of the virus in Octavia Butler’s 1984 science fiction novel Clay’s Ark, where an alien virus manifests as a border organism that produces new forms of the human. I argue that the trope of the viral agent in Butler’s Clay’s Ark reconfigures the ‘self’ (the human) and the ‘other’ (the virus) at the level of the material and the discursive, leading to a reconceptualisation of the epistemological and ontological basis for the definition of and distinction between, the two. Secondly, the diseased, contagious self in Clay’s Ark, is subject to neither ‘containment’ nor quarantine, but instead is the basis for the formation of a new social contract in a world that is soon to be ravaged by an extraterrestrial epidemic. The paper demonstrates the pervasive influence of the epistemic and discursive formulations of the “human” in a social order transformed by viral invasion.

Crisis Leadership and the Art of Denial
Authors: White Carol Raye
Published: March 2020

With BSE and the more recent Japanese nuclear accident fresh in our memories, a call for transparency and straightforwardness in the way political leaders handle risk assessment and emerging states of emergency is likely to go unanswered. The first response of leaders in any emerging crisis situation is to offer reassurance that all is well, even when common sense and evidence is available to the contrary. This paper sets out to examine the reasons for, and consequences of, government responses to states of emergency and potential disaster.
