Authors: Tumolo Michael , Biedendorf Jennifer
Published: March 2021

This essay examines the strategic use of empathic communication that fosters a loving struggle for Existenz in “Straight Man in a Gay World” (2005), an episode of Morgan Spurlock’s documentary-styled television program 30 Days. The show functions as a persuasive discourse designed to influence the heterosexual participant and, by extension, the implied audience. This essay offers an overview of key terms in the study of empathy and analyzes key moments of empathic communication in the episode.
Perceptions of Being a Woman and Strategies for Women’s Body Image Resilience
Authors: McLean Lauren , LaGuardia Amanda
Published: March 2021

Although the negative effects of female body objectification are well established, there is a lack of qualitative research examining how women can develop resiliency against body image issues and low self-esteem. Through the current phenomenological qualitative study, we sought to explore how participants defined being a woman, particularly a woman with healthy self-esteem. In addition, we explored several resiliency strategies, based on Choate’s (2005) theoretical model of body image resilience, that women could potentially use to combat some of the effects of objectification. Results indicated that female participants experience normative beliefs and gender expectations that a woman with a healthy self-esteem should be able to defy. In addition, results indicated that the resiliency strategies of family support and holistic wellness could be the most beneficial in developing resistance against body image issues.
Evasions in Interactions: Examples from the Transcultural Nursing Research Field
Authors: Crist Janice , Coats Heather , Lehman Kay , Luna Isela
Published: March 2021

Transcultural qualitative research is known for its utility in eliciting in-depth narratives, resulting in increased understanding about cultural phenomena. However, sometimes specific phenomena in the researcher’s inquiry are ignored, evaded, or denied; or a seemingly crucial experience demonstrating society’s unfairness, which the researcher had been expecting, does not emerge. In this paper, the issue of evasions in narratives is addressed, with two examples in which participants evaded the issue about which they were asked: perceptions of discrimination for aging adults of Mexican descent, and perceptions of living with life-limiting illnesses for aging African American adults. The Ethno-Cultural Gerontological Nursing Model framework’s Macro-level factors (climate of stereotypes, attitudes and ascriptions of the majority group) and Group-based influences (“Cultural/historical traditions” and “Cohort influences”) organize our thinking about addressing evasions by minority research participants. Four tools synthesized from the literature and our research experiences are recommended: (1) self-assessment of one’s own cultural values and lenses, (2) co-collaborating during the data collection and analysis phases, (3) acknowledging the power position of the researcher, and (4) over-reading.
Professional Action Sport Athletes’ Experiences with and Attitudes Toward Concussion: A Phenomenological Study
Authors: Faure Caroline , Fitzpatrick John
Published: March 2021

This study examined the lived experiences and subsequent attitudes of freestyle BMX and motocross athletes relative to suffering concussions. Eleven professional athletes were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol. All cited a significant personal history with concussion and those personal accounts, along with their observations of others who experienced similar head injuries, shaped the athletes’ attitudes towards concussion. Both intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributed to each athlete’s acceptance of concussion risk inherent in their respective sport. Generally, athletes accepted concussion risk as part of their sport, but were largely unfamiliar with what concussion was and what long-term effects could result from a history of concussion. Additionally, athletes knew of no concussion protocols or guidelines in their sport and cited an overall lack of organized medical care accessible to them on an ongoing basis, as is the case with mainstream sports.
Mixed Methods Research: A Comprehensive Approach for Study into the New Zealand Voluntary Carbon Market
Authors: Birchall S , Murphy Maya , Milne Markus
Published: March 2021

Climate change and solutions to solving this wicked problem require a mixed methods research approach that draws on quantitative and qualitative inquiry together. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the applicability (and effectiveness) of a mixed methods approach applied to research into the voluntary carbon market (VCM), a key path available for organisations electing to offset their carbon emissions, in New Zealand. The mixed methods approach included three unique data sets (quantitative documents, quantitative surveys, qualitative in-depth interviews), and was both explanatory (qualitative interviews built upon and contextualized the document analysis and survey results) and convergent (data sets were examined separately, then, as they represent different aspects of the same phenomenon, were combined for analysis). These complementary methods were used to gain a fuller picture of the evolution and institutional dynamics of the VCM field in order to produce a comprehensive case study.
The Impact of Family Autism Camp on Families and Individuals with ASD
Authors: Wallace Luchara
Published: March 2021

Families of children with disabilities, such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), often search for opportunities to acquire information about and receive emotional support from others who may have or had similar experiences. An evaluation of the Dakota Black Goose Family Autism Camp sought to determine the impact of the family camp experience. Pre- and Post-Camp surveys were administered upon families’ arrival at Camp and prior to their departure (n=17) to evaluate the overall quality of the program as well as the level of informational and emotional support anticipated and received. Follow-up interviews were completed six months post Camp to determine how and if families incorporated the information provided at Camp into their daily lives. Overall, participants in Dakota Black Goose Family Autism Camp found a great deal of benefit from participation, especially as it related to information gathering, networking and emotional support, and opportunities for family members with ASD to be able to engage with others in a safe and accepting environment.
Street Vending and Competitive Advantage: Towards Building a Theoretical Framework
Authors: Amoah-Mensah Aborampah
Published: March 2021

The study examines the strategies adopted by street vendors or hawkers in Ghana in a bid to gain competitive advantage. Drawing on six focus group meetings held with street vendors in two sub-metropolitan assemblies (Bantama and Tafo) in Kumasi, Ghana, the study finds that street vendors adopt ten strategies – networking, multiple undifferentiated market strategy, the sale of convenient products, “dying and resurrecting” (strategic exit and return into business), regular changing of goods and services, exploitation of flexible operating hours, cost-based pricing strategy, sales promotion, trade credit and locational advantage – to gain competitive advantage. Using these strategies, a theoretical framework for street vendors’ competitive strategies is developed.
Our Academic Sandbox: Scholarly Identities Shaped through Play, Tantrums, Building Castles, and Rebuffing Backyard Bullies
Authors: McDonald Denise , Craig Cheryl , Markello Carrie , Kahn Michele
Published: March 2021

This paper presents four teacher educators’ stories that explore their scholarly identity development through an Academic Sandbox metaphor where Play, Tantrums, Building Castles, and Rebuffing Backyard Bullies, serve as creative constructs for describing their experiences of triumphs and challenges in academia. The authors share how a professional learning community (Faculty Academy) functioned as the safe space for “participatory sense-making” (See De Jaegher & Di Paolo, 2007) where situated agency emerged and became strengthened through the telling of the teachers’ stories (Archer, 2003; Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Kligyte, 2011; McGann, 2014; McLean, Pasupathi, & Pals, 2007). Stories representative of each metaphorical construct are presented and discussed. Narrative inquiry served as the methodological means in which the authors examined their stories as representative events in identity formation.
Logistical Lessons Learned in Designing and Executing a Photo-Elicitation Study in the Veterans Health Administration
Authors: Mitchell Michael , Hedayati Daniel , Rodriguez Keri , Gordon Adam , Broyles Lauren , True Gala , Balbale Salva , Conley James
Published: March 2021

Participatory photography research methods have been used to successfully engage and collect in-depth information from individuals whose voices have been traditionally marginalized in clinical or research arenas. However, participatory photography methods can introduce unique challenges and considerations regarding study design, human subject protections, and other regulatory barriers, particularly with vulnerable patient populations and in highly regulated institutions. Practical guidance on navigating these complex, interrelated methodological, logistical, and ethical issues is limited. Using a case exemplar, we describe our experiences with the planning, refinement, and initiation of a research study that used photo-elicitation interviews to assess the healthcare experiences of homeless and marginally housed United States Veterans. We discuss practical issues and recommendations related to study design, logistical “pitfalls” during study execution, and ensuring human subjects protections in the context of a study with a highly vulnerable patient population taking place in a highly risk-averse research environment.
A Moveable Beast: Subjective Influence of Human-Animal Relationships on Risk Perception, and Risk Behaviour during Bushfire Threat
Authors: Trigg Joshua , Thompson Kirrilly , Smith Bradley , Bennett Pauleen
Published: March 2021

This article examines how human-animal connections influence risk perception and behaviour in companion animal guardians exposed to bushfire threat in Australia. Although the objective role of psychological bonds with companion animals is well accepted by researchers, subjective interpretations of these bonds by animal guardians are relatively underexamined in this context. We argue that the ways in which connections with pets and other animals are represented influences different forms of safety-risk perception and behaviour when managing animals’ safety in the face of disaster threat. Thematic analysis of 21 semi-structured interviews with South Australian residents in bushfire-affected areas supported the role of the human-animal bond in shaping risk perception, and influencing engagement in risk-behaviour. Influential factors included animals’ “life value,” “relative versus absolute” risk framing, the “constellation of bonds,” and “action paralysis” when facing threat. Implications for future research in decision-making and risk propensities of animal guardians facing disaster threat alongside their pets are then discussed.

Authors: Pakseresht Sedigheh , Jafarzadeh-Kenarsari Fatemeh , Atrkar Roushan Zahra
Published: March 2021

Sexual relationship is not limited to a merely biological process; it is an experience that is formed in a joint intrapersonal, interpersonal and cultural context. This study aimed to explore married Iranian women’s interpretation of sexual activity. The researchers conducted this qualitative study on 65 eligible married women aged 16-60 years attending prenatal care, family planning, and gynecology clinics in an educational hospital during 2012-2013. We collected data through 9 focus group discussions. We also used purposive sampling method with maximum variation for selecting study Participants. All interviews were continued until data saturation was achieved. Researchers used a conventional content analysis approach for data analyzing. Four main categories were extracted from the data. The main categories included: “Sex and response to individual’s feelings,” “Sex and intra and interpersonal challenges,” “Sex and informational challenges (the known and unknown),” and “Sex and self-sacrifice (duty-oriented sexual activity).” The participants expressed a dynamic meaning of sexual marital activity that was influenced by many basic emotional, psychological, physical, social, economic, and cultural factors. Most participants placed strong emphasis on the duty-oriented aspect of marital sexual activities, and showed a preference for their husband’s sexual needs and satisfaction.
Humanization through Action Research as Methodology
Authors: Radloff Jeffrey , Joslyn Cole , Capobianco Brenda
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this action research study was to critically examine the use of action research as a mechanism to enhance graduate students’ development as emerging qualitative researchers. Although action research has been recognized as an effective means of transforming teaching practices, studies examining its use among graduate students learning to become qualitative researchers are lacking. Participants profiled in this study include two graduate students and one teacher educator. The context of the study was a graduate level course on action research where all three participants identified starting points, employed distinct action strategies, engaged in sustained, critical reflection, and developed metaphors representing their living educational theories of their practice. Results from this study indicate that each participant gained a deeper self-awareness and understanding of enacting qualitative research and furthermore, recognized action research as a powerful humanizing agent.

Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper, which utilises Foucault’s theoretical framework, is to study the effect the existent web of power relations and the school regulative discourse have on the formation of the students as teacher-subjects, during their teaching practice organised by a Department of Primary Education in Greece. The data were collected using two research tools: the interview and observation. The research findings showed that power relations are formed between the mentors and the students. Moreover, the mentors’ action unfolds on three levels. They simultaneously act as supervisors and evaluators, as lead-teachers in the classroom and as role-models for the students. It is through their action that the students become familiarized the school regulative discourse. The majority of the students conform to the norms of the school regulative discourse and obey the controls exercised by the mentors, during their practicum.

GLOBAL EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF "GREEN" TECHNOLOGIES
Authors: Efremov Nikolay A. , Efremova Marina P.
Published: March 2021

The article considers the experience of using "green" technologies in various branches of the economy. World practice shows that introduction and subsequent use of "green" technologies increase the efficiency of a particular branch of the economy. At this, the direction of development and the scope of using "green" technologies differ in different countries. Among the predominant areas of using "green" technologies, it is necessary to mark the construction sector, development of renewable energy sources, infrastructure projects, agriculture. Based on actual data, the predominant role of "green" technologies in the scenario for the development of most foreign countries' economies is shown. "Green" technologies in the world practice have become one of the promising directions in development of most branches of economy. The urgency of using "green" technologies in the Russian economy is caused by the fact that against the background of worsening environmental problems, increasing economic tension, the "green" vector of development will make it possible to solve not only environmental, but economic and social problems as well. The analysis of world experience in the use of "green" technologies in various fields of economy gives the opportunity to consider the "green" vector as one of the priority directions for the development of many sectors of Russian economy.

Authors: Ivanova Tatiana V. , Chernysheva Tatiana N. , Prokopiev Aleksandr V. , Ivanova Anna A.
Published: March 2021

The article presents a forecast for agriculture development in the Chuvash Republic up to 2022 according to three scenarios: optimistic, probabilistic and pessimistic. Agriculture occupies a special position in the region's economy and is a system-forming industry. The share of agriculture in the gross regional product makes 9%, which is significantly higher than in other regions of the country, and the share of residents living in rural areas is 36.6%. Structurally, the agriculture of the Chuvash Republic is quite balanced. During the study period from 2010–2019, significant positive changes in the industry can be noted. Thus, the production of basic agricultural products increased by 1.93, and the gross output of basic crops increased by 2.16. However, despite the positive trends, there are still problems in certain areas. The production of the animal husbandry main products during the study period decreased by 135.6 thousand tons; the agricultural machinery fleet in agricultural organizations decreased by 1.97; the number of livestock decreased by 147.3 thousand heads. In order to predict future changes in the industry, the authors, based on the dynamics of indicators for 2010–2019 that characterize agricultural production in the Chuvash Republic, and using the Excel program, proposed three options for the development of the situation for 2020–2022 – optimistic, probabilistic and pessimistic. Studies have shown that a pessimistic development scenario is more likely to be implemented, which requires immediate corrective actions in the agricultural sector of the Chuvash Republic.
MIGRANTS AS POTENTIAL VICTIMS OF CRIME: VICTIMOLOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Kuzmin Yury A.
Published: March 2021

The problem of preventing crime against migrants is updated. The urgency of issues related to preventing crimes against migrants as the main factor of criminality prevention in general is substantiated. The relevance of the topic is caused by the fact that in modern conditions, the attitude to migrants in accordance with the norms of international law is equally ambivalent. Migrants are exposed to numerous risks of victimization, and many of them suffer from victimization – sometimes repeatedly, and sometimes even systematically. Such risks of victimization can be classified together with their individual background of emigration and immigration. The two main types of criminal behaviour that is of interest to criminal policy – human trafficking and human smuggling – are addressed in the two Amendment Protocols to the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo Convention): the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children and the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. In the latter document, migrants are perceived as offenders, not as victims, especially in legal treatment of smuggling. This is justified by the fact that migrants represent a demand for smuggling services, and this demand is considered the main incentive for this branch of organized crime, including transnational one. However, current legal situation – both the international legal framework and the legal provisions applied in the main jurisdictions – does not reflect the victimological reality of migration. The distinction between human trafficking and people smuggling (trafficking) creates a significant gap in the treatment of victims. The same is true of public, political and academic discussions that tend to ignore the reality of migration, which is characterized by the fact that not only victims of trafficking, but migrants in general, are clearly vulnerable and are at multiple risks of victimization. The problem of preventing crime against migrants is that it is hardly possible to justify a politically motivated dividing victims of criminal acts into two groups (trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants) in order to achieve two different standards of protection, especially in light of the enormous risks of victimization to which all migrants are exposed.

Published: March 2021

Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS), androjen fazlalığının (klinik veya biyokimyasal) ve over disfonksiyonunun (oligo-ovulasyon ve / veya polikistik over morfolojisi ) kombinasyonu ile tanımlanan heterojen bir hastalıktır. Polikistik over sendromunun etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemesine rağmen hiperandrojenizm, obezite (özellikle abdominal obezite), dislipidemi, kronik inflamasyon ve insülin direnci sendromun gelişiminde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Adipoz doku, özellikle beyaz adipoz doku, cinsiyet steroidlerinin etkisi altındadır, bu etki çok yönlü ve karmaşıktır. Adipoz doku androjen fazlalığına maruz kaldığında hipertrofiye eğilimlidir ve hem adipoz doku hipertrofisi hem de hiperandrojenizm, insülin direnciyle ilişkilidir. Adipoz doku bozukluğunun neden olduğu kronik düşük dereceli inflamasyonun da PKOS'un metabolik ve üreme bozukluklarının gelişiminde rol oynayabileceği gösterilmiştir. Büyük oranda beyaz adipoz dokudan salgılanan chemerin, yakın zamanda yeni bir kemoatraktan protein olarak adipokin ailesine katılmıştır. Chemerinin insan adipositlerinin farklılaşmasında, inflamasyon, glukoz ve lipit metabolizmasında önemli bir rol oynadığı çalışmalarda gösterilmiştir. Chemerinin, obezite ve insülin direnci ile ilişkilendirilmesi ayrıca adipoz dokuda kemoatraktan bir madde olarak inflamatuvar rolü sayesinde PKOS gelişimine katkıda bulunabileceği düşünülmektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda PKOS’lu bireylerde serum chemerin konsantrasyonları sağlıklı bireylerle karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuş ve chemerin; beden kütle indeksi (BKİ), kan lipitleri, insülin direnci ve hiperandrojenizm ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Altta yatan mekanizmaların anlaşılması PKOS patolojisini daha iyi anlamaya ve bu sendromun yeni terapötik hedeflerini tanımlamaya yardımcı olacaktır. Bu derlemede, PKOS patofizyolojisinde chemerinin olası etkileri üzerinde durulacaktır.

Adjuvants Used In Animal Vaccines-Their Formulations and Modes of Action: An Overview
Authors: AHMAD BHAT Bilal , AADIL Sheikh
Published: March 2021

Vaccination has proven to be the most effective method for the prevention and control of infectious diseases in the animals and birds. The success of vaccination depends on many factors but one of the important factor is the selection of most suitable and efficient adjuvant. An adjuvant is an ingredient of the vaccine which is used to improve the immune response in the animal’s body to vaccines. The inclusion of adjuvant to the vaccine preparation results in the abrupt stimulation of the immune system, production of the stronger immune response, activation of the specific type of immunity and increasing the half life of vaccine antigen. Previously, the role of adjuvants were poorly understood but with the increasing knowledge of the mechanism of action of adjuvants and the immune system, new adjuvants are being formulated that are safe and most effective against existing and emerging animal diseases. In this review, we will discuss about the current available adjuvants for animal vaccines with focus on their mechanism of action. In addition, we will also learn about the challenges and opportunities in the development of animal vaccine adjuvants.
