Female Representation in Select Films of Frank Rajah Arase: Evidence of Male Chauvinist Tendencies in the Ghanaian Film Culture
Authors: Omoera Osakue S. , Okwuowulu Charles C.
Published: July 2021

There has been constant resonance of feminine image misrepresentation in most narratives since the (re)invention of video-films in Nigeria, Ghana, and indeed across the African continent. In spite of the binary struggle between the (presumed) chauvinist filmmakers and their feminist counterparts, masculinity always (re)emerges in new forms or topoi to dominate femininity. Consequently, there seems to be a paradigm shift on the (mis)representation of women that reinforces Laura Mulvey’s sexual voyeuristic objectification of the feminine gender as reflected in near-nude costumes as well as sexually larded scenes that are common sights in African films, particularly those from Ghana. Employing the historical-analytic and observation methods, this article examines three selected films:  The Maid I Hired (2010), Why Did I Get Married? (2007) and To Love a Prince (2014) by Frank Rajah Arase (FRA), an African filmmaker of Benin (Edo) extraction who largely operates in the Diaspora, to foreground and highlight the voyeuristic imprints in Ghanaian films (Ghallywood), which tend to demean the feminine gender in the context of African culture that hegemonizes the male folk.
The Millennial Antinostalgic: Yoav in Nadav Lapid’s Synonymes
Authors: Vaso Jora
Published: July 2021

In contemporary, transnational exilic cinema exile an artist is made in an exilic journey. The 21st century journey departs from entirely opposite premises than those of the ancient journey, namely with the desire to escape one’s birthplace. The aim of the exile has also transformed: from a necessary step to secure one’s livelihood or even life, it has become one of exploration. Rather than the desire to settle elsewhere or to eventually return home, the exile sets on an open-ended, exploratory journey the premise of which is finding oneself. In this, the physical journey has come to resemble the metaphysical one of the artist. The exile departs from a physical place and journeys into a metaphysical space, geography becoming secondary while still being necessary. This journey is best recounted in the film Synonymes (2019) by Israeli director Nadav Lapid, an autobiographical tale that chronicles the director’s own exile from Israel to Paris and captures his journey toward becoming an artist. The paper references two prominently antinostalgic authors: 20th century Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz and Polsih-Jewish writer Henryk Grynberg.
Waking (Dreaming): A Vedantic Reflection on Richard Linklater’s Waking Life
Authors: Upadhyay Jaya
Published: July 2021

This is a reading of the film Waking Life (2001) in the framework of the Indic philosophy of ‘Vedanta,’ more specifically the ‘Advaita’ or the non-dual school of Vedanta. The film’s narrative is constructed out of the protagonist’s dreamscapes. The itinerant protagonist moves through conversations within his dreams, trying to make sense of his ‘wake walking’ situation. These conversations take the form of a more significant philosophical reflection upon the conscious life of humans. In this paper, I analyze some of these conversations and discussions from the Advaita point of view to affirm the film’s orientation towards a spiritual and metaphysical reflection on human life.
I’ll be back? The Deconstruction of the 1980s and the 1990s Hard Body Movies
Authors: Machlev Moshe
Published: July 2021

The following essay discusses the cultural factors that inspired the “hard body” movies of the 1980’s and 1990’s, but it also describes the changes that occurred, later on, that contributed to the deconstruction of those movies. The hard body movies were characterized by having a reoccurring set of actors (Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme) and themes (facing adversaries in a forceful manner), and some of the factors that influenced this portrayal were the Reagan Revolution and a revaluation of the Vietnam war. However, a change in political ideology, and a reassessment of America’s place in the world, inspired the deconstruction of those movies, and newer movies brought with them a new message, of what could be considered a soft body.

Resilience-Informed Positive Youth Development Programs in International Development
Authors: Chugani Nalini Bajaj , Faizullah Sabeen , Janke Cornelia , Jeudin Rebecca , Kiernan Jackie , Wallace Nancy
Published: July 2021

In countries affected by crisis and conflict, systems that support young people are often disrupted. Youth who are going through critical periods of physical, cognitive, and social–emotional development are especially affected by these disruptions. We examined positive youth development programming strategies that have been used in crisis and conflict-affected areas to build youth resilience, defined as a young person’s ability to manage risk (absorptive capacity), enhance assets and agency (adaptive capacity), and contribute to society (transformative capacity). We summarize key concepts of positive youth development and resilience and then examine how these have been interpreted and applied in youth development programming. We present 2 case studies of youth programs from the Philippines and the Democratic Republic of Congo that illustrate programming that integrates these concepts and discuss how resilience and positive youth development can intersect and reinforce one another. Using empirical findings from these crisis and conflict-affected settings, we illustrate how resilience-informed positive youth development programming builds youth and community assets and agency while increasing the absorptive, adaptive, and transformative resilience capacities of both youth and their communities to respond to shocks and stressors. We conclude with a discussion of relevant takeaways and program implications regarding the application of a resilience lens to positive youth development, particularly in areas affected by crisis or conflict.
Adolescent Well-Being Gap Maps: What We Know and Opportunities for Future Research
Authors: Banati Prerna , Bacalso Cristina
Published: July 2021

Designing and delivering effective programs for adolescents and youth requires high-quality evidence that is easily available to decision makers. Yet while adolescence as a unique development period has gained policy attention in recent years, and there has been a growth in research, priorities for research investment remain unclear. This paper provides a panoramic view of adolescent development research to review what evidence exists and how evidence is mapped. Our approach interrogated studies mapped by evidence maps (including the subset evidence gap maps or EGMs). Our findings have implications for future directions of research on positive youth development (PYD) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs): The analysis showed that while most evidence maps exist in the adolescent protection, safety, and security domain, most studies focus on outcomes related to well-being and social and emotional health. There are gaps in demographic groupings and contexts studied. For example, while gender and sex inequities were the most prevalent in the studies identified, though seen in less than 1/5 of the studies analyzed, disability appears in only 3%. Housing, participation, and information communication technologies are researched relatively rarely. Rigorous research in conflict or humanitarian settings is absent. Additionally, while most impact evaluations are conducted in sub-Saharan Africa, followed by Latin America, the Middle East and North America were poorly represented regions. This article reflects on the state of the evidence, argues for a more thoughtful approach to equity in adolescent research, and calls for a stronger link between research, policy, and practice in LMICs.
Give Us More Credit! Recommendations for Young and Adult Researchers on Conducting Adolescent-Led Research
Authors: Vasiloiu Georgiana , Smith-Brake Julia , Mihai Simona Eugenia
Published: July 2021

Youth participatory action research, child-led research, and child-led activism are being increasingly employed to counter adultism in social work and development contexts, in a way to break down barriers for young people to have their voices heard on issues and decisions about their lives. This commentary comprises 2 open letters from a young researcher and advocate for children’s well-being and rights in Romania. The first letter is addressed to fellow young people and shares the journey of learning about and subsequently researching the issue of sexual violence, as well as a call to young people to stand up and use their voice to bring attention to issues important to them. The fear and anxiety of doing something new, that is usually in an adult space, cedes to empowerment and confidence found through the process. The second letter is addressed to adult researchers and practitioners and shares the methodology and findings of the child-led research project, lessons learned, and recommendations for adults engaging in child-led research. A key recommendation is for adults to support child researchers without manipulating the process, and to give young people more credit in commonly adult-held spaces.
International Positive Youth Development: Challenges and Opportunities in Policy and Practice
Authors: Lauxman Lisa A. , Archibald Thomas , Dowling Elizabeth M. , Jessee Cassandra
Published: July 2021

This special issue of the Journal of Youth Development on international positive youth development brings together diverse perspectives of research, practice, and policy regarding the challenges and opportunities facing international efforts to promote the positive development of youth. To represent a plurality of perspectives on international PYD, the authors sought to represent a variety of continents, countries, genders, races, ethnicities, sectors, and levels of experience with publishing. There is also variety in the types of articles such as case studies, presentations of frameworks and curricula, letter-style commentary by youth, and cutting-edge research methodologies and studies. A few key themes frame the volume, including (a) diversity in definitions of youth and operationalizations of PYD; (b) the multifaceted and multidimensional ways in which PYD is integrated into different sectors, domains, and types of programmatic and organizational contexts; and (c) the importance of and need for an accessible evidence base of PYD informed by rigorous science. Thought leader commentaries are interspersed in the beginning, middle, and end of the issue. The articles represent the current state of the field of PYD internationally with an outlook toward the future and how the integration of PYD research and practice can enhance contributions of youth to equity, social justice, and democracy.

Arbitragem trabalhista na visão econômica do Direito
Authors: Silva Maragno Adrianne
Published: July 2021

The article will analyze the labor arbitration institute, from an economic point of view, in relation to the employer, employee and the society itself – art 507-A of the CLT. Aiming for the social growth for all, the rules must bring benefits to the community and be written in a clear and objective way to enable the understanding so that the population fulfills its legal rights and obligations. If a conflict arises, it can use one of the appropriate forms of conflict resolution – conciliation, mediation and arbitration – in order to minimize transaction costs. It is faster, less costly and more informal in relation to the Judiciary system. Economically, the standard in question presents favorable and unfavorable, but more advantageous for the parties involved.

Fotografias no museu: uma análise dos elementos de representação temática do banco de dados informatizado do Museu Paulista, SP
Authors: De Albuquerque Ana Cristina
Published: July 2021

Considerando-se que a fotografia em um museu deve seguir, como qualquer outro documento, parâmetros de tratamento e políticas que avaliem os fatores extrínsecos (dados técnicos, enquadramento, efeitos, cor, etc.) e intrínsecos (conteúdo, contexto) em consonância com os objetivos propostos da instituição, questiona-se sobre como esse tratamento se dá em um sistema informatizado, já que este será o caminho que possibilitará uma recuperação da informação adequada por parte de seus usuários. Objetiva-se, assim, refletir sobre  as fotografias no Museu Paulista da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, por meio da descrição do banco de dados institucional, analisar a perspectiva da representação temática destes documentos. A pesquisa realizada foi de base bibliográfica e exploratória por buscar na literatura específica o alicerce fundamental para a compreensão da fotografia no museu e sua caracterização. Em um segundo momento, realizou-se um trabalho de consulta à literatura publicada especificamente sobre o banco de dados informatizado do Museu Paulista e construiu-se assim uma discussão acerca de seus elementos com ênfase nos que permitem uma recuperação temática das informações contidas em fotografias. Acredita-se que, muito além dos sistemas informacionais bem estruturados, o conteúdo e contexto das fotografias em museus é essencial para sua compreensão e recuperação no sentido de fornecer maior sustentação aos objetivos curatoriais da instituição, assim como demonstrar a natureza e importância desses documentos repletos de peculiaridades.
c de c: documentalista inconsciente
Authors: Wert Concha
Published: July 2021

El Club de Creativos (c de c) ha cumplido recientemente 21 años. Nació a instancias de un grupo de creativos publicitarios que buscaban crear una entidad que les uniera y representará. Se trataba de una asociación de personas, de creativos, lo que se entendía más como sustantivo para designar a los autores de las creaciones publicitarios que como adjetivo. 

Entre los objetivos fundacionales del c de c se citaba la búsqueda de herramientas que ayudasen a la mejora del trabajo que hacen los creativos en España. Y la primera herramienta en la que se pensó fue un Anuario de Creatividad que debía recoger lo más sobresaliente de la producción publicitaria que se hacía cada año. Este anuario serviría para fijar estándares de calidad, para aprender de los pares y para reconocer e incentivar el trabajo bien hecho. Nótese que en el año 2000 no existía Google, ni Youtube, ni Facebook, ni IG, ni ninguna red que facilitase el contacto entre profesionales y el conocimiento del trabajo de los colegas, y, algo que hoy resulta inimaginable, para conocer el trabajo de la competencia era necesario contratar un servicio ex profeso, consumir medios compulsivamente o esperar pacientemente a que se celebrase un festival o similar.

El Segundo tomo de comedias de Juan Pérez de Montalbán: hacia un mapa estilométrico de las comedias auténticas, dudosas y ajenas
Authors: Demattè Claudia
Published: July 2021

El Segundo tomo de comedias (1638) de Juan Pérez de Montalbán se preparó poco antes de su muerte, cuando ya el autor estaba enfermo, y posiblemente fue su padre, el famoso librero madrileño Alonso Pérez, quien se encargó de reunir las doce comedias que forman el tomo. En distintos momentos, críticos como Victor Dixon y Maria Grazia Profeti pusieron en tela de juicio la posibilidad de que todas las comedias perteneciesen a Montalbán. Ahora, en el presente estudio se intenta atribuir las distintas comedias a sus respectivos autores a través de la estilometría y de los estudios filológicos. Gracias al corpus de más de mil comedias del proyecto dirigido por Álvaro Cuéllar González y Germán Vega García-Luengos, ETSO Estilometría aplicada al Teatro del Siglo de Oro, y utilizando el paquete Stylo, se lleva a cabo un clúster análisis y un gráfico de las veinte obras más cercanas para cada una de las doce presentes en el volumen, de las que se brinda los ejemplos más problemáticos. En concreto destaca el caso de El sufrimiento premiado, que el análisis estilométrico confirma que se trata de una comedia de Lope de Vega.

Published: July 2021

Este artículo tiene dos intereses principales, ver la estrecha y fructífera relación entre lo mediático y lo dramatúrgico en la literatura española contemporánea, especialmente en el teatro; y, en segundo lugar, ver cómo esta relación le sirve a María Velasco en su texto Si en el árbol un burka (2016) para dos propósitos, el principal, denunciar la violencia contra las mujeres y, luego, como estrategia deconstructora de los roles de género. La metodología usada para el desarrollo de la investigación ha sido producto del encuentro de la crítica literaria feminista, la teoría teatral y los estudios culturales.

The Claim to the Tax Domain: Examining the Activities of Accountants in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Frecknall-Hughes Jane
Published: July 2021

This paper examines the activities of UK accountants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its aim is to determine the nature of their work in relation to taxation, by looking chiefly at the contemporary evidence provided by The Accountant, the accountants’ professional journal. First published in 1874, this journal provides information on tax and other activities at a time when accountants were establishing their credentials as a new profession. The paper considers issues surrounding income tax in this period, as the complexities associated with it provide the wider context and backdrop for accountants’ activities. It then specifically considers why and how accountants met the increasing need for tax advice and claimed this work domain as part of their professional jurisdiction. The paper then goes on to consider the role of lawyers in taxation during the same period.

Authors: Sarkis Yara , Nguyen Linda , Halland Magnus
Published: July 2021

Patients with upright reflux have predominantly nonerosive esophagitis and can be successfully treated with non-pharmacological treatments. In some studies, diaphragmatic breathing reduced acid exposure and improved gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in reflux patients. Further investigation is needed to assess the mechanism of action and efficacy of Diaphragmatic breathing.

We summarize the @GIJournal discussion held on March 17, 2021 during which we discussed the article by Halland et Al titled “Effects of diaphragmatic breathing on the pathophysiology and treatment of upright reflux: a randomized controlled trial.” Key findings were reviewed by our expert Dr. Magnus Halland (MH) and the session was moderated by Dr Linda Nguyen (LN).

Quá trình hội nhập quốc tế sâu, rộng ở Việt Nam trong vài thập kỷ gần đây đã tạo áp lực lên không chỉ chính phủ trung ương mà cả chính quyền cấp tỉnh trong việc nâng cao hiệu quả quản trị hành chính công và quốc tế hóa nền công vụ. Vấn đề này đã được đề cập rất nhiều trong các báo cáo của chính quyền lẫn các bài báo nghiên cứu khoa học nhưng hầu hết chỉ ở góc độ định tính. Việc lượng hóa mức độ hội nhập quốc tế để kiểm tra sự tác động của nó trong mối quan hệ với các nhân tố khác đến các vấn đề cải cách quản trị hành chính công hiếm khi được thực hiện bởi những trở ngại trong việc đo lường, đặc biệt là ở cấp tỉnh. Vì vậy, mục tiêu của bài viết này là xây dựng một thang đo mức độ hội nhập quốc tế cho các đơn vị hành chính cấp tỉnh. Thông qua phương pháp phân tích thành phần chính (PCA), thang đo mức độ hội nhập quốc tế được tạo lập từ tám biến bao quát các khía cạnh quan trọng của hội nhập quốc tế (giá trị xuất khẩu và nhập khẩu hàng hóa, số dự án FDI và số vốn FDI đăng ký còn hiệu lực, số người nhập cư và xuất cư, số khách du lịch và số thuê bao internet đăng ký). Thang đo này có giá trị hội tụ và mức độ giải thích cao. Kết quả nghiên cứu là một nguồn tham khảo có ý nghĩa đối với các nhà nghiên cứu định lượng khi muốn kiểm tra mối quan hệ giữa hội nhập quốc tế với các vấn đề cải cách quản trị hành chính công hoặc các vấn đề khác ở phạm vi cấp tỉnh Việt Nam.

Published: July 2021

La presente investigación se desarrolló con la participación de los estudiantes de primer año de la carrera de administración de la Universidad Peruana Unión, el propósito que se planteó fue determinar la eficacia del MEBSTI en el logro de las competencias matemáticas. La población estuvo constituida por los estudiantes matriculados en el ciclo académico 2017 – II en el curso de Matemática, los cuales fueron 43; 21 del grupo experimental y 22 del grupo control. De ellos, se depuraron algunos nombres por inasistencias y por ser alumnos irregulares, quedando con 18 estudiantes en el grupo experimental y 19 en el grupo control. La investigación es cuantitativa aplicada, el diseño cuasi experimental, ya que se tomaron grupos intactos. El grupo experimental desarrolló la unidad de sistema de números reales aplicando el MEBSTI mientras que el grupo control la desarrolló bajo el método tradicional. Los resultados obtenidos, se realizaron mediante la prueba t – Student a través del paquete estadístico SPSS (22.0). El cual nos indica que existe diferencia significativa entre los dos grupos estudiados, y esta diferencia se debe probablemente a la aplicación del MEBSTI para la mejora del desarrollo de competencias matemáticas.

Acceptance of new students is the most important part of STIKOM UYELINDO Kupang as one of the benchmarks for the progress of the campus in the future. In the process of admitting new students (PMB), prospective new students must go through several stages of registration until the stage of filling out the KRS, so that the students concerned are legitimately declared as active students of STIKOM UYELINDO KUPANG. However, many cases occur that not all students arrive at the final stage of filling in the KRS to be declared as active students. Problems that occur result in the division responsible for new students difficult to predict that prospective students concerned in the process of admitting new students, will go through the process until the status of filling KRS or not, and also affect the prediction of the number of new student achievement. This study aims to find out and recognize the pattern of classification of new student registration status so that the level of presentation of new students entering the STIKOM UYELINDO KUPANG can be made by applying the rough set algorithm. In the process of applying Rough Set, it will produce a rule as a rule or pattern for classification of new student registration status data. The data used in this study is the data of new student registration in 2016-2018 with a total record of 579 records. The results of this study are expected to be an important input for the responsibility of new students and high school education institutions, in the strategy of screening new students to achieve the target of better new student admissions.

Aim: To compare the incidence of in-hospital complications between diabetic normotensive and hypertensive diabetic patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) Methodology: This observational cohort study was conducted at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Karachi from May 2019 to April 2020. We examined 220 diabetics with acute MI were included. 50% of the patients had high blood pressure and the rest had normal blood pressure. After enrollment in the study, selectees were observed for acute myocardial infarction complications in the hospital. Results: Most of the baseline characteristics were similar in both groups of patients. However, the hypertensive patients in the diabetes group had diabetes, high heart rate, and high blood pressure at reporting. The complication rates did not differ statistically between the two groups. The rates of complications occurred between diabetes and normotensive hypertension; Atrial fibrillation (AF) 15.5% vs 12.7% p = 0.194, respectively, ventricular tachycardia (LH) 14.5% vs 13.6%, AV block type-1 8.2% vs 7.3% p = 0.296, type2 AV block 2.7% vs 1.8% p = 0.352, complete heart block 11.8% vs 10% p = 0.313, acute congestive heart failure (CHF) 13.6% VS% 9.1 p = 0.137, left ventricular failure (LVF)19.1% vs 16.4% p = 0.259, cardiogenic shock (CS) 14.5% vs 10.9% p = 0.184, recurrent IM (Re-MI) 14.5% 10.9% p = 0.184 and mortality 14.5% vs 12.7 and% p = 0.326, respectively. Conclusion:It is concluded that diabetic patients with hypertensionhave not elevated risk of complications in the hospital after acute myocardial infarction.

Published: July 2021

Background: Conventionally, common bile duct stones (CBDS) are removed with help of ERCP. However, if CBDS are larger than 10 mm, then the ERCP failure rate to retrieve CBDS becomes high. In that case, open or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is other alternative. In this era of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) seems to be a better option than open approach, but in our set up the safety of LCBDE is questioned. Aim: To see the conversion rate as well as complications associated with LCBDE. Material & Methods: Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of data of patients who underwent Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration (LCBDE) for large CBD stones at Fatima Memorial Hospital Lahore. Results: Since 2012, 29 patients of large (≥10 mm) CBD stones were included in this study. Among them 20(69.9%) were females and 9(31.01%) were males. The mean CBD stone size was 13 mm. Stones were extracted transcystically in 4 case and Transcholedochal stone extraction was done in 25 cases. The average duration of surgery was 130 minutes, but all cases were completed successfully without converting to open approach. There was minor bile leak in 3 patients which was managed successfully without any further intervention. No other complication was observed with LCBDE and even no retained stone was reported. Conclusion: Laparoscopic CBD exploration is safe and effective method of dealing CBD stones especially of large size when the chances of ERCP failure to retrieve stones are high.

Published: July 2021

Background: It has been noted that there is an increased prevalence and serious clinical implications of stroke in women. However, local studies focused on stroke among female gender are still scarce. Aim: To find frequency of female patients with ischemic stroke and to compare the sub-types of ischemic stroke, mean NIHSS score and mean MRS scores among both genders. Methodology: This descriptive case series was conducted in indoor and outdoor department of Neurology at Mayo Hospital, Lahore for six months [Feb 6, 2018 till August 6, 2018]. After taking demographics and clinical characteristics of patients, the severity of stroke was taken using National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission in hospital. The functional outcome was measured using Modified Rankin Scale (MRS). Subtype of acute ischemic stroke was assigned using Oxfordshire classification for acute ischemic stroke. All data was taken on a structured proforma and was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: The mean age of cases was 53.58 ± 9.42 years with 73(60.83%) male and 47(39.17%) female cases. Among TACS, there were 15(50%) female cases whereas 9(34.6%) female case were found in PACS and 10(33.3%) female cases were found in LACS. The frequency of gender in all subtypes was statistically same in both groups, p-value > 0.05. The mean modified Rankin scale in male and female cases was 2.93 ± 1.58 and 4.30 ±1.50 respectively with significantly higher mean MMR score in females than male cases, p-value < 0.05. Conclusion: This study concludes that females make up a considerable percentage of patients with ischemic stroke. Though, no statistically significant difference could be found in terms of subtypes of ischemic stroke, the mean NIHSS score and mean MRS were statistically higher among females compared to male cases.
