Temporary Thais: Circular Thai–US Migration in the 1960s
Authors: Losavio Joann
Published: February 2022

Few published histories examine Thai Americans and Thai–US migration. This essay addresses that paucity and explores Thai–US migration in the 1960s. A narrative of trauma exists around Southeast Asian US migration history, wherein the United States is positioned as a final destination of hope and settlement. Thai-US migration in the 1960s does not fit into this narrative. This is a case study of Thai students in American universities and Thai employees of the Peace Corps. Thais came to the United States voluntarily, as university students, as professionals, and as tourists. Their journeys to the United States were circular by design. Thai and US Cold War concerns created legal pathways for Thai student migration to the United States to achieve these objectives. These same mechanisms created economic and social incentives to return home: high-paying jobs in a burgeoning economy and the social prestige of international travel. Cold War geo-politics circumvented hostile US immigration policies and permitted Thai students’ entry into the United States, but their pre-existing elite status, potential for personal profit, and civic duties induced them to return. These factors shaped Thai–US migration as temporary and circular.
Under the Canopy: Finding Belonging at the San Fernando Swap Meet, 1976–2019
Authors: Brown-Bernstein Julia
Published: February 2022

Emerging in the post–World War II suburban boom, the outdoor swap meet has long been an economic and cultural institution in Southern California. Much like a flea market, the swap meet draws vendors and consumers for bargain prices and diverse products. But the swap meet is not just where vendors peddle their wares. In this case study of the San Fernando Swap Meet, one of Southern California’s largest and longest running swap meets, the massive outdoor space transforms into a vibrant suburban community. Since the late 1960s, as an influx of immigrants, especially Latinx migrants, settled in Southern California, the outdoor swap meet has become not just a cornerstone of working-class community but also a site of migrant belonging. One of just a few scholarly studies to explore this dynamic space and industry, this article explores how immigrants, predominantly undocumented migrants, have forged strong ties to one another and adapted to life in metropolitan Los Angeles during the neoliberal age.
Jalisco Is Mexico: Race and Class in the Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi y la Charrería in Guadalajara, Mexico (1994–2003)
Authors: Mulholland Mary-Lee
Published: February 2022

Mariachi, one of Mexico’s most recognizable musical traditions and symbols, is often associated with the western state of Jalisco and its capital Guadalajara. In particular, the Encuentro Internacional del Mariachi y la Charrería has actively promoted this association since the early 1990s. Incorporating a combination of archival and ethnographic research, this paper examines the origins of this festival in its first 10 years (1994–2003) as a site wherein notions of race and class were produced, reified, and undermined.
Katharine Lee Bates’Ballad Bookand the Pedagogy of the Ballad
Authors: Bell Michael J.
Published: February 2022

In 1890, Katharine Lee Bates, Wellesley professor, published a college/upper high school textbook entitled Ballad Book. Bates’ volume pre-dates by 4 years Francis Barton Gummere’s Old English Ballads (1894) and Helen Child Sargent and George Lyman Kittredge’s English and Scottish Popular Ballads (1904) by 14 years, making it the earliest ballad collection by an American scholar explicitly designed for classroom use. In 1904, Bates published a second edition of her textbook with the result that her two editions flank ballad work during the formative years of American ballad scholarship. This essay describes Bates’ approach to ballad teaching, how it changed between editions, and what her work demonstrates about early American academic ballad scholarship: that is, as an outcome of the political consequences of Bates’ promotion of a ballad study aimed at supporting classroom learning rather than one aimed at producing academic scholarship.
(Re)Making the Folk: Black Representation and the Folk in Early American Folklore Studies
Authors: Bailey Ebony L.
Published: February 2022

This article details the origins of American folklore studies by examining how “the folk” were repeatedly equated to Black Americans and how folklore was used as a measure of African Americans’ post-emancipation “progress.” Attending to discussions of Black representation in the late nineteenth century, I explore how (1) African Americans were positioned as the folk and (2) how African Americans (re)positioned themselves in discourses of “Blackness” and “folkness.”
Blues Narrative: Blues People, COVID-19, and Civil Unrest
Authors: Pearley Lamont Jack
Published: February 2022

The “Blues Narrative: Blues People, COVID-19, and Civil Unrest” focuses on African Americans born between 1945 and 2004. The article delves into the establishment of homes, lifestyles, and traditions on a concrete terrain with Southern and country values, and shares how those values not only weathered the storm of many generations but how they armed interviewees to defend what some call an all-out attack on the Blues People in the present day. This is an ongoing project conducted from the perspective of a folklorist and ethnographer.
An Open Letter to the Wickhams (and Other Descendants of Slave Owners)
Authors: Prahlad Anand
Published: February 2022

This essay explores issues of race, power, and history and focuses on ancestry in Canaan’s Hill, a Black community descended from slaves on the adjoining plantation of Hickory Hill in Middle Virginia. It examines the idea of reparations and, in so doing, addresses nuances of the slave culture at Hickory Hill, as well as the enduring historical impact that the institution of slavery has had on American institutions in general and on common attitudes found among white Americans. These larger issues are highlighted by juxtaposing them with brief portraits and oral histories of specific family members and illustrating the effects that transgenerational trauma has had on multiple areas of their lives, including health and medical, economic, and political.
Dreaming in Motion: Zoom Excerpts from Black Motion Pictures
Authors: Civil Gabrielle , Whitehead Anna Martine
Published: February 2022

Gabrielle Civil, a Black feminist performance artist, and Anna Martine Whitehead, a Black transdisciplinary artist, formulate, exchange, and respond to embodied strategies of creativity and resistance. They discuss Black performance dreams and their own movements as Black performers. Recorded on June 4, 2020, during the coronavirus shutdown and shortly after George Floyd’s tragic death, their words have become a time capsule. Their conversation is part of Black Motion Pictures, Civil’s interview series with radical Black creatives on Zoom, an internet video conference platform. Time signatures and ellipses from the original Zoom transcript highlight the glitchy strangeness and mediation of the moment.
Investigating Appalachian Englishes: Subregional Variation in the New Appalachia
Authors: Hasty J. Daniel , Childs Becky
Published: February 2022

With changes in Appalachia over the past two generations involving decreased poverty and more development, continued study of the changing culture of Appalachia is needed specifically with regard to language use in the region. Recent research indicates that traditional Appalachian English (AppE) features are influx, with some dying out, others remaining stable, and others increasing among the younger generations. Yet these changes seem to be operating differently depending on where one is within Appalachia. In light of this variability, this article will focus on the results of a large-scale survey of self-reported AppE usage, investigating the extent of subregional dialect variation present in Appalachia. Rather than finding a single homogeneous AppE being used in the same way throughout the region, this study finds instead a clear subregional distinction with speakers in Northern Appalachia much less willing to admit using traditional features of AppE than speakers in Southern Appalachia, even though for most features, both subregions appeared to be hearing these features the same.
There Are No “Addicted” Babies in Appalachia: Mindfully Approaching Regional Substance Use
Authors: Buer Lesly-Marie , Ostrach Bayla , Clark Genoa
Published: February 2022

Substance use and the contexts that surround it have caused real harm in Appalachia. Part of this pain may be attributed to substance use itself, but much is also due to our collective reaction to substance use and people who use drugs. The confluence of stigmas against Appalachians, people who are poor, and people who use drugs, as well as the intense surveillance of caregivers, have produced interpersonal violence within medical, social service, and legal systems, which the authors have documented in their geographically dispersed work. This discrimination lives within policies that negatively affect the health, economic opportunities, and family life of many Appalachians who are poor. As researchers and community health workers, we propose ways of moving forward that avoid further marginalizing vulnerable populations, particularly people who are caregivers and use drugs.
From E.E. to Erna Eltzner: Tokarczuk, Jung, and the Ethics of Care
Authors: Huss Joanna Trzeciak
Published: February 2022

This article considers Olga Tokarczuk’s novel E.E. (1995) as dialogic site for a critique of early twentieth-century psychology at the time of its engagement with spiritism. Carl Gustav Jung’s doctoral dissertation, “On the Psychology and Pathology of So-Called Occult Phenomena” (1902) serves as a key intertext. Tokarczuk’s heroine, an adolescent medium, Erna Eltzner (E.E.), fashioned after Jung’s case study, S.W., exemplifies the use of young female patients as research subjects, studied but not listened to. Jung himself is refracted in two distinct characters, each of whom exploits Erna Eltzner as a paradigmatic case for his respective ideological commitment. The novel offers a feminist sendup of paradigms of medical care, medical diagnosis, the ethics of science and the personhood of the patient. It points to a major blind spot in the scientific study of the psyche: patient well-being and treatment. The article takes an ethics-of-care approach to examine sites of empathy in the novel.
Liminality and Palimpsest in Anne Michaels’sThe Winter Vault
Authors: Caufield Catherine
Published: February 2022

Anne Michaels’s first novel, Fugitive Pieces, garnered numerous awards and produced much scholarly discussion. The Winter Vault followed thirteen years later, but has received little critical attention. This novel traverses the spaces of the construction of the Aswan High Dam, the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the reconstruction of the Old Town of Warsaw. Time bubbles up through these layered landscapes, evidencing markers and minutiae of masses of human lives, as modern-day engineering feats are in the process of obliterating them. The plot of The Winter Vault spirals through palimpsests of not only place, but also time as it bubbles up in the present—carried along great rivers in Canada, Egypt, and Poland: the St. Lawrence, the Nile, the Vistula. In The Winter Vault Michaels’s evocative prose writing style continues to create an oneiric tone through which well-defined characters are forced by events across a threshold into hidden recesses of their own being. For the central characters in The Winter Vault, the painful rawness of the confusing and discombobulated liminal space in which they find themselves the wake of loss resonates through place, evincing palimpsests of lives and experiences of others across time. It is, perhaps, the interwovenness of human life and the ability to connect with the suffering of others that is the catalyst for Avery and Jean to connect to the suffering within themselves.
Intermediality and the Staging of History in Stanisław Wyspiański’s The Wedding (1901) and Andrzej Wajda’s Film Adaptation (1973)
Authors: Shpolberg Masha
Published: February 2022

This article compares the role played by painting in Stanisław Wyspiański’s 1901 play Wesele [The wedding] and Andrzej Wajda’s eponymous 1973 film adaptation. Both Wyspiański and Wajda were trained as painters, and were highly aware of the importance of visual culture in forging a nation’s sense of self. Moreover, both found themselves exercising a powerful position as “the voice” of their nation at a time when it was subjugated by foreign powers. Noting Wyspiański’s interest in Nietzsche and Wagner, the article argues that intermediality provides an occasion first for the playwright and, later, for the filmmaker to question the difference between history and myth—as well as their own role in this political context. In the original play, Wyspiański uses painting above all, but also music and dance, to critique the popular belief in a messianic leader who will one day be sent to liberate Poland. It is by bringing these different art forms into conversation, that he is able to comment on their deleterious influence in perpetuating a vision of Polish history as myth. Wajda’s use of painting in the film is far more ambivalent. By playing with the placement and scale of the paintings, he emphasizes the points of continuity between Wyspiański’s time and his own but ultimately evades the question of historical agency.
Sittin’ Up in My Room: Exploring Black Girl Interiority in the Work of Scheherazade Tillet and Nydia Blas
Authors: Thompson Amoni
Published: February 2022

What do we learn when Black girls have the right to their own pleasures … the right to sit … and be still? Given the ways this world seeks to steal moments of joy and self-satisfaction from Black girls everywhere, what is the power of capturing the moments in which Black girls are allowed to be, to exist? To answer these questions, I reflect upon the act of “sitting” and its use in facilitating moments of interiority for Black girlhood in documentation photography. Mobilizing Tina Campt’s and Kevin Quashie’s notions of quiet to contend with documentary portraits of Black girls by Scheherazade Tillet and Nydia Blas, I meditate on their use of gesture in order to formulate an experimental and conceptual archive of Black girl interiority. This piece considers the act and moment of “sitting” in visual art and what it conveys about the process of subject-making in the lives of Black girls.
Women Community Warriors of St. Croix
Authors: Poblete JoAnna
Published: February 2022

This essay highlights some of the unexpected leadership roles that women have played in relation to the oil industry on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) from 1965 to the present. The people of St. Croix (Crucians) have a long and proud history of strong women as community and family leaders. Despite their invisibility in contemporary narratives of oil refining under U.S. colonialism on St. Croix, Crucian women have contested commonly held stereotypes of women’s roles and contributed to, as well as challenged, the refinery on their own terms. This article is part of a broader literature about women’s leadership across civil society, the private sector, and the public sector in the Caribbean and Latin America that focuses on women’s agency. This essay is also about the unequal situations that places like St. Croix face when negotiating with multinational corporations under colonial circumstances. While the oil industry generates income for the USVI, the refinery has environmental impacts injurious to the local population. Despite colonial, neocolonial, and patriarchal characteristics of their societies, women leaders on St. Croix, across the Caribbean, and Latin America have been a constant phenomenon, not just a recent occurrence. All the women in this essay demonstrate the centrality that women’s guidance, leadership, and actions play in the fostering, functioning, and protection of families, communities, and public and private institutions on St. Croix. The women in this essay created their own opportunities and took matters into their own hands, demonstrating alternative expressions of self and community values, as well as local action and agency, whether through personal relations, labor protests, stringent economic negotiations, occupying political office, and/or community-based activism.

Moving from a much more sustainable social, environmental and economic system confronts the government, the community, the people and the industry. There is far-reaching conceptualization of the necessity for minerals. The present status and blend for the production of minerals may well not be absolutely demanded by a more sustainable economy. But beneath any reasonable definition of necessity, there will be a significant need for some mineral products deep in the nearest future. In the recent world beamed with the rays of extremely competitiveness in which economic attainments rely widely on the ability to be innovative; Nigeria is only clamouring to attain a better innovation outcome. Irrespective of being one of the under-developed nations, globally, Nigeria still stands a strong dynamic Black- Africa by position of its headcount census and the economy. This study assessed the inherent innovation and endowment in Nigeria.

Development of Mathematical Model for Percentage of Elongation of TIG Welded Duplex Stainless Steel
Authors: Mondal Sandip , Nandi Goutam , Pal Pradip Kumar
Published: February 2022

Quality strongly depends on good mechanical properties of any manufacturing material. Similarly, quality of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding of Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) depends on good mechanical properties like percentage of elongation, ultimate tensile strength etc. Better Percentage of Elongation (PE) is produced using proper welding parameters and their values at the time of TIG welding. In this study, TIG welding has been done on ASTM/UNS 2205 duplex stainless steel materials. A new mathematical model is developed using non-linear regression analysis for the prediction of percentage of elongation. The variables used in the prediction models are selected welding parameters like welding current, gas flow rate and speed of welding. A residual plot for PE has been developed to validate the mathematical model. Calculation of percentage deviation for PE has been made. Comparison of measured and predicted PE value has been done by graphical representation. The relationship between percentage of elongation and the welding parameters has been illustrated graphically by surface plots and contour plots as well. Combined effects of any pair of input parameters on PE are represented graphically with the help of three-dimensional surface plots. According to this analysis, the models provide good PE with the data used in this study.
Photography and Museums of Mutuality: A Metaphor
Authors: Kalpaxi Elisavet
Published: February 2022

This article employs photography as a vehicle to explore museums and their increasing attempts to gain an open, discursive, democratic, and inclusive character. It suggests that drawing a parallel between photography and museums, at a time when globalizing technologies, aesthetics, and politics demand the radical redefinition of both, can provide a useful ground from which to examine the role of photography in the development of museums and vice versa, as well as notions of engagement, participation, and inclusion. In the last 150 years photography has performed a number of unique roles—evidentiary, artistic, commercial, and vernacular—that have all had a great impact on the history of representation, as well as the way in which photographs communicate inside museums (i.e., as artworks/artifacts, as evidence of objects and phenomena found outside the museum, as a record of objects contained in the museum, and as a marketing tool). All of these functions also have an impact on how photography is understood within and outside museums. However, within museums—this applies both to museums of art and other kinds of museums, including anthropological, archaeological, and history museums—photography was originally conceived and still operates predominately as a document; that is to say, as evidence of some kind, whether of an object, culture, or an artist’s work. The definition of a document is here taken from Suzanne Briet’s seminal 1951 work, What is Documentation.[1]

Nowadays, the work with talented employees has become one of the most important components of HRM and is gaining more and more attention, especially from organizations that strive for a highly professional workforce. The issue of talent development is arising, especially due to the introduction of anti-pandemic measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the Slovak Republic. These restrictions prevent employees from participating in full-time training programs. These programs, therefore, had to be changed and adapted to reflect the current situation. The aim of this study is to identify the level of satisfaction of talented employees with talent development programs offered by their employers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research sample consisted of 123 talented employees. The methods of descriptive statistics, Kruskall-Wallis test, and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to achieve the goal of this study. The results showed that despite covid-19 prevention measures, the issue of talent development is still important for employers who secured talent development programs for their talented employees to enrich the portfolio of their knowledge and skills. The satisfaction level of talented employees with talent development programs was according to this research very high, especially within employees in charge

Countries with tax benefits are still attractive for business entities operating in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. The paper aims to quantify the number of offshore companies based on data from the financial report of the Ministry of Finance of the Slovak Republic and Bisnode A Dun & Bradstreet Company and evaluate the development of Slovak companies in tax havens in 2008-2020. The second aim is to verify the hypothesis about statistically significant differences in the number of Slovak offshore companies in analyzed countries between 2020 and 2008. The development of the number of Slovak companies is assessed in absolute and relative terms using a chain index, a base index, a growth rate, and a geometric mean. The stated hypothesis is tested using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed that the number of companies in tax havens increased to the greatest extent in 2020. The highest average annual growth rate in the tax haven countries was 52.85% in the Marshall Islands and the lowest average annual growth rate for the analyzed period was in the Netherlands Antilles (3.75%). The USA, the Netherlands and Cyprus are the countries of tax havens with the highest value of Slovak capital.
ECOLOGICAL COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES IN WASTE MANAGEMENT

Published: February 2022

Waste management has become a key issue in environment protection recently. The area is accompanied by various kinds of lobbying activities all around the world and it has the potential of directly affecting the everyday life of people and corporations. We analyse the factors that may influence social consciousness in the long run and what communication tools opinion leaders can use to reach out to the various social platforms. The objective of the research was to reveal hidden correlations in the field of waste management that influence societal awareness in Hungary and the relation between consumers and waste. We conducted the research by combining two methodologies, the REP-test (Role Construct Repertory) and the Storyline research methodology. Research has shown tension between the profession and the public sector, the main reason being the lack of communication and the different perception of the priorities of waste-related matters. The phenomenon of interests vs stakeholders also became a recurring element, according to which only those topics in the waste management profession are embraced where there are underlying interests present or there is money behind them.

The experience of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine has shown the relevance and necessity of understanding the problems of moral and psychological support in the Armed Forces of Ukraine in modern conditions. The problem of constant misinformation of the population, the spread of propaganda and the implementation of destructive psychological influence in the interests of the enemy is very sensitive. The simplest tool for distribution misinformation is the Internet (its easy access and wide popularity). The goal of the article is to develop a methodology for monitoring negative psychological influences in online media. The basis of develop methodology is the build a mathematical model using a 4th order polynomial trendline. To determine the number of text messages that were simultaneously processed in statistical analysis, the Hurst exponent was applied. Indicators of negative psychological influences in text messages are selected. Statistical observation is carried out at the expense of a database with text messages from online media. The coefficients of the polynomial regression model are calculated using the least squares method for using a spreadsheet processor Microsoft Excel, or by solving a system of linear algebraic equations using Cramer's method. It has been proved that the developed mathematical model for monitoring negative psychological influences is adequate over the time interval under study. Due to the developed methodology for monitoring negative psychological influences in online media, it is possible to mathematically describe the process of the influence of text messages on a person. The mathematical model underlying the methodology can be used not only at the monitoring stage, but also at the stage of counteracting destructive psychological effects, as well as for the implementation of preventive measures to prevent the spread of such effects by taking into account the frequency and common ways of spreading negative psychological effects in text messages online media. It should be noted that the developed methodology can be used to automate online media monitoring in order to timely identify information threats to military command and control bodies and the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the context of ensuring the information security of the state.

The article deals with teachers’ training to the use of digital tools of formative assessment. The authors analyze a number of legal documents in the field of education, which emphasize the introduction of formative assessment in the practice of assessment of primary and basic school pupils. Formative assessment is defined as the assessment to identify learning needs and traces each student’s progress, it is carried out on a constant basis and aims to support, stimulate, motivate to learn. The important features of this type of evaluation are criterion, interactivity, consistency. The components of formative assessment are peer assessment, self-assessment, observation, development of logic goals and criteria for their achievement, feedback.The programme of advanced training for teachers of different profiles, deputy heads of educational work on the topic ``Theory and Practice of Application of Formative Assessment at a Primary School'' was presented. The experience of such programme in advanced training courses at Municipal Higher Educational Establishment “Kherson Academy of Continuing Education of Kherson Regional Council” is presented.The authors describe a pedagogical experiment conducted on the basis of Municipal Higher Educational Establishment “Kherson Academy of Continuing Education of Kherson Regional Council” on the use of digital tools during formative assessment. The experiment covered 162 primary school teachers who were trained under that program. During the practical classes, teachers worked with such digital tools as MentiMeter, Plickers, Kahoot, Poll Everywhere. The results of the survey showed the relevance of the course and the need for its implementation in postgraduate pedagogical education for teachers who will teach at the New Ukrainian School.

The article dwells on to the study of the responsibility of future specialists of socionomic professions as an important indicator of their digital competence. The role of responsibility as a vital indicator of digital competence of future specialists of socionomic professions was determined, which determines their conscious and responsible activities in the context of obtaining and disseminating information in the digital space, promoting both their own psychological safety alongside psychological safety of other members of the digital community. The results of an empirical study were highlighted, which revealed an insufficient level of both responsibility and cognitive-operational components of digital competence for a significant number of future specialists in socionomic professions. Gender differences in the manifestations of responsibility of future specialists depending on the gender are characterized according to which the female respondents were slightly more responsible for the consequences of dissemination of information than male specialists. The expediency of promoting the development of responsibility of future specialists of socionomic professions as an indicator of their digital competence is stated, which can be provided in a specially organized psychological training.

The article highlights the issues of developing a system for digital competence of the teacher. The paper describes the research that resulted in the development and implementation of the system for digital professional development for university teachers at the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University. The principle of system adaptation is realized in two directions: to time possibilities of testing and minicourse passing; to needs of teachers according to professional direction and disciplines taught. A model of organisation of this system based on self-assessment, self-education and micro-teaching principles has been developed. The main structural elements of the system are diagnostic test and sets of minicourses. The approaches to the formation of the diagnostic test, including ensuring its integration, variability and validity, as well as the principle of its use in order to establish the level of digital competence of teachers in accordance with the developed corporate standard of digital competence were applied in detail. Using the example of the compulsory level of digital competence Analyst-Researcher (A) the use of mini-course sets for Integrator (B1), Expert (B2), Leader (C1) and Innovator (C2) levels are described. The system allows teachers to build their own professional development trajectory as a digital footprint reflected in a personal study, and the use of embedded business intelligence tools provides a visualised holistic picture of digital professional performance. The place of the system and its further development for professional development in the digital twin of the educational institution is highlighted.

The objectives of this study were to develop the cow and soybean milk yogurt product supplemented by rice bran hydrolysate with antioxidant activity using the addition of 0.0-1.0 % w/w rice bran hydrolysate, analyze antioxidant activity, and examine sensory characteristics of the yogurt. The study found that 2, 2’-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power of cow and soybean milk yogurt trend to be increased based on the increase of rice bran hydrolysate concentration, except for ABTS radical scavenging activity of soybean milk yogurt, which was slightly increased and then constant at 0.75 % of rice bran hydrolysate. Addition of rice bran hydrolysate at concentration of 0.25-1.0 % had no effect on overall acceptability of cow milk yogurt but decreased overall acceptability score of soybean yogurt. Optimum concentration of rice bran hydrolysate with high antioxidant activity in cow and soybean milk yogurt was 1.0 and 0.75 %, respectively. This research indicated that rice bran hydrolysate has a potential use as antioxidant agent supplemented in yogurt for development as functional food.
