Joonggoje Pansori Storytelling and Cultural Content Utilization Plan
Authors: Choi Hye jin
Published: May 2024

Pansori is a genre in which long stories are sung to the rhythm of drums. Pansori sung mainly in the Gyeonggi and Chungcheong regions is called Joonggoje.
This study presents a plan to revitalize Joonggoje Pansori, which developed mainly in the Gyeonggi and Chungcheong regions, as a regional culture by discussing why Joonggoje should be resurrected and the necessity of utilizing cultural content.
First, storytelling is the most important element preserving cultural content. In the case of Joonggoje pansori, recognizing the early history of pansori is crucial. Therefore, understanding the culture of the South Chungcheong region and its characters is necessary. Thus, we argue that the story should be told together with Shin Gwang-su, Yu Jin-han, and others and should focus on Choi Seon-dal, the first master singer of the 18th century.
Second, developing a cultural heritage and tourism infrastructure related to Joonggoje is necessary. As a representative example, we presented the recently investigated relics related to Choi sundal and ways to utilize them. Rather than simply restoring historical sites, building various infrastructures that align with modern trends is also essential. Third, we must educate people on and popularize Joonggoje pansori through various cultural contents to spread awareness. Over the past ten years, We have worked to spread Joonggoje pansori in various fields However, easy, fun, innovative, and accessible planned programs through broadcasting and media are required.
Joonggoje has already been established as a cultural identity of the Chungcheong region beyond Pansori. Efforts to publicize its reality and content must continue and focus on the future, not the past.

Published: May 2024

O papel da agricultura familiar vem ganhando força, impulsionado através de debates embasados no desenvolvimento rural sustentável, na geração de trabalho e renda, contribuindo para a segurança alimentar. A piscicultura orgânica é uma atividade que pode ser desenvolvida por estes agricultores na promoção da sustentabilidade. Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a viabilidade econômica/financeira, ambiental e social da produção de peixe em sistema orgânico em viveiros escavados com base em um estudo de caso. A metodologia adotada para alcançar os objetivos tem caráter exploratório e descritivo combinando pesquisa bibliográfica sobre estudos de análises da produção orgânica em geral e na piscicultura com estudo de caso. Em um período de dezesseis meses foi acompanhada a produção em sistema de policultivo de peixes, orgânico, utilizando alimentos naturais e provenientes da propriedade. Nas análises foram utilizadas técnicas de análise de viabilidade econômica:  Valor Presente Líquido (VPL); Payback descontado (PB); Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR); e Índice de Lucratividade (IL). O valor investido nos viveiros foi de R$ 3.220,60. O valor estimado para a comercialização dos peixes foi de R$ 2.477,50. Na análise de viabilidade econômico/financeira os resultados indicam retorno a partir do segundo ciclo produtivo. Na dimensão social se destaca a mão de obra familiar ocupada e cuja maior demanda é no período de implementação, enquanto na manutenção é baixa esta necessidade. Na análise ambiental os resultados indicaram a preservação de recursos naturais, com reaproveitamento de resíduos de alimentos produzidos na propriedade e cuidados com a água e geração de efluentes.

Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: Inner ear infection with some viruses may be one of the possible causes of Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL). This study aims to determine the frequency of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2 (HSV-1, HSV-2) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in perilymph and peripheral blood samples of cochlear-implanted children.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 30 children with severe-to-profound SNHL (aged 1.1–5 years) underwent cochlear implantation surgery. During surgery, their perilymph  and peripheral blood samples were collected. The samples were analyzed separately for the presence of herpes HSV-1, HSV-2, and CMV by real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The load of IgG and IgM antibodies against these viruses was determined using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method.
Results: The frequency of CMV in perilymph samples was 16.7% (5 patients) and in peripheral blood samples was 3.3% (1 patient). The IgG antibody against CMV and HSV- 1 was positive in 80% and 46.7% of the patients, respectively. The IgM antibody against CMV was positive in 10%. The mean IgM serum antibody load against HSV-1, HSV-2, and CMV was 2.70, 1.70, and 5.47, respectively, and the mean IgG antibody load against these viruses was 56.07, 2.50, and 23.67, respectively.
Conclusion: The IgG test is positive in cochlear-implanted children with CMV in their perilymph samples, and the CMV genome is not present in their peripheral blood. This may indicate the previous presence of this virus in the ear and its role in hearing loss.

Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: Early communication skills in children with hearing loss depend on the quantity and quality of information received from parents. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of early communication skills training in developing the communication skills of infants and toddlers with cochlear implants.
Methods: To this end, 54 infants and toddlers at the age range of 8–24 months with sever to profound hearing loss fitted by Cochlear Implant (CI) with their mothers participated in this study. The experimental and wait list control groups had auditory verbal therapy as the main intervention after the CI; however, the experimental group received a systematic early communication skills program. All subjects were assessed using the Communication and Symbolic Behaviour Scales Developmental Profile as the pre-and post-tests.
Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance indicated the effect of systematic training on the early communication development of subjects in intervention group.
Conclusion: Teaching the parents how to interact with infants and toddlers with CI could improve the communication skills of the infants and therefore it’s recommended to be included in the auditory rehabilitation programs.
Is Acceptable Noise Level Affected by the Number of Competitive Talkers? An Implication of Informational Masking and Listening in Dips for Acceptable Noise Level Mechanism
Authors: Tavakoli Mostafa , Jalilvand Hamid , Mahdavi Mohammad Ebrahim , Akbarzadeh Baghban Alireza
Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: The Acceptable Noise Level (ANL), which is an effective  clinical tool for quantitative assessment of noise tolerance, is affected by some known variables related to both subject and testing materials. The present study examined how the characteristics of different babble noises may affect the ANL results in normal adult listeners.
Methods: Forty Persian listeners with normal hearing participated. In addition to typical ANL testing with 12-talker noise, the ANL was obtained in 8 different conditions varying in number of talkers from 2 to 10 in the babble noises presenting forward and backward.
Results: There was a significantly lower ANL for 2-talker babble compared to 4, 8, 10, and 12-talker babble in both forward and backward noise conditions. With the increase in talkers in noise, the ANL becomes worse but reaches almost a plateau with more than 4 talkers in babble noise. There was a statistically significant difference between 2-talker forward and 2-talker backward noises, with no difference for the other conditions.
Conclusion: This finding that the ANL is affected by the number of talkers in babble noise and by the forward and backward background noise suggests that informational masking and listening in dip mechanisms are involved in ANL for normal hearing people at least.
Keywords: Acceptable noise level; speech babble noise; listening in dips; informational masking; energetic masking
The Output Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Speech Perception in Noise: The Effect of Multichannel and Free-Channel Hearing Aids
Authors: Dhrruvakumar Shubhaganga , Kooknoor Vishal , Chowkalli Veerabhadrappa Rakesh
Published: May 2024

Background and Aim: The output Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is one of the essential factors in hearing aid benefits. There is limited evidence regarding SNR improvement     by the Channel-Free (CFHA) and Multi-Channel Hearing Aid (MCHA) and the speech understanding in noise through them. This study aimed to investigate the extent to which output SNR was modified by CFHA and MCHA processing and the variation in aided speech recognition abilities with a change in output SNR.
Methods: Thirty-six participants aged 50–65 years were included. A chosen CFHA and MCHA were used to obtain the output SNR and sentence recognition in noise in four different processing algorithms (linear, linear+noise reduction, WDRC, WDRC+noise reduction). Hagerman’s phase inversion technique was used to measure the attenuation of noise and, in turn, to obtain the output SNR of the hearing aid.
Results: In all hearing aid processing algorithms among those with normal hearing and people with hearing loss, the output of CFHA revealed higher attenuation values than that of MCHA. There was a significant effect of the hearing aids and processing algorithms in both normal and individuals with hearing impairment on the mean SNR. Further, multiple linear regression analysis results showed that whether the hearing is channel-free or multi- channel significantly predicted speech recognition scores, while output SNR and processing algorithms did not.
Conclusion: The signal processing algorithms in CFHA had greater noise attenuation values, better output SNR, and speech recognition scores, showing an advantage over the modern MCHA among individuals with hearing impairment.

Authors: Chauhan Ravindra , Pande Ashish , Shaktawat Dilip Singh , Dwivedi Aditya , Thomas Shijo
Published: May 2024

Background: The soft tissue in the shoulder plays a significant role in anterior shoulder instability, leading to humeral head displacement from the glenoid fossa. Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a widely accepted method to restore the labrum to the joint rim. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of Bankart repair by knotless suture anchors at medium-term follow-up, assess the functional outcomes of the knotless suture anchor method for recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability, and conduct clinical assessment using the Rowe score at 6-week, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month intervals in patients.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair using a 2.8 mm knotless suture anchor (MINI-VIM PK® ) were enrolled. They were assessed for shoulder stability, range of motion (ROM), and functional outcomes using the Rowe scale at the baseline, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up intervals as part of the planned early efficacy measures. All the statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software.
Results: The mean age of the subjects was 28.10 ± 6.14. In this trial, 51 patients (69.86%) were diagnosed with recurrent shoulder dislocation on the left side, and 22 patients (30.14%) on the right side. The Rowe score demonstrated a significant improvement (P < 0.0001), increasing from 44.73 ± 1.64 to 95.62 ± 18.33 at the 12-month follow-up period. This indicated better clinical outcomes and reduced recurrence of instability with the use of knotless suture anchors.
Conclusion: The use of knotless suture anchors demonstrated reduced recurrence rates, improved post-operative shoulder motion, and increased stability without adding complexity to the procedure.

Published: May 2024

Background: As operative techniques and the quality of implants are improving, surgical management of diaphyseal fractures of forearm bones in elderly patients is gaining widespread acceptance. Titanium elastic nailing system (TENS) provides flexural, axial, translational, and adequate rotational stability. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of the treatment of diaphyseal forearm bone fracture with TENS nail.
Methods: Elderly patients with both-bone forearm (BBFA) fractures in diaphysis were evaluated clinically and radiologically and followed for an average of six months. The outcome was assessed using the Grace-Eversmann scoring system. We followed up with all 25 patients and evaluated them every two weeks until the fracture united.
 Results: After approval of the ethics committee, twenty-five elderly patients with AO type 22A3 and 22B3 fractures of the forearm bone who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were taken for the study. The mean age of the participants was 65 years. The average time to bone union was 12 weeks, and the average surgery time was 35 minutes. There was a superficial infection in one case. Most patients had a full range of elbow and wrist movements after the union.
 Conclusion: The TENS is an acceptable and good tachnique for displaced BBFA diaphyseal fractures in elderly patients. It is easy, cheap, and convenient and gives elastic mobility, promoting a rapid union of fractures and stability, which is ideal for early mobilization. It provides a lower complication rate, shorter surgery time, good cosmetic outcome, and easy implant removal.

Published: May 2024

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world particularly among Iranian women. Although the mortality rate decreased in developed countries, there were increased changes in breast cancer incidences. The study aimed at evaluating the correlation between BLV infection and breast cancer in Iran.

Methods: In the cross-sectional study, a total of 85 breast cancer tissue samples and adjacent tumor samples (normal tissue) were collected during the year 2022 from women referred to general hospitals in Qom Province, Iran. The nested PCR technique was performed to determine the presence of tax and gag genes of BLV in the collected samples. To confirm the presence of the tax gene of BLV, PCR products of some BLV-positive samples were subjected to direct sequencing.

Results: Based on nested PCR technique, tax and gag genes of BLV were detected in 12.9% (11.85) and 3.4% (3.85) of breast cancer tissue samples, respectively. Also, the tax gene was present in 4.7% of the control samples, but the presence of the gag gene was not observed. Most malignant samples of BLV were III grade. The constructed phylogenetic trees for the tax gene of BLV showed most BLV isolates had similar sequences to Iranian isolates.

Conclusion: The results of the study by using nested PCR technique, demonstrate a possible relationship between human breast cancer and bovine leukemia virus infection in women of Iran. BLV is one of the main risk factors for breast cancer.

Self-decolonisation in Aotearoa: Pushing through programmatic Pākehā paralysis
Authors: Weijers Dan
Published: May 2024

Te reo, tīkanga, mātauranga, te Ao, and kaupapa Māori are finally seeing a resurgence in Aotearoa. This revitalisation is occurring in the tertiary education sector, but staff and skill deficits are holding back many academic disciplines. This chapter documents the challenges facing a traditionally colonial tertiary programme—philosophy—attempting to de-colonise itself. The overlapping nature of the challenges can make decolonising appear to be so difficult that some programmes may feel paralysed. This chapter argues that the importance of decolonisation requires that programmes push through any paralysis they may be experiencing by prioritising decolonisation above other goals.

Authors: Price Julie A , Rutherford Stephen M , Tucker Jason M
Published: May 2024

In the past decade, global higher education has undergone significant transformations in learning and teaching (L&T) practices. The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns acted as a disruptive force, prompting rapid changes in L&T methods— dubbed ‘panic-gogy.’ We examine a UK University’s response to the pandemic’s impact on L&T, focusing on institutional, staff, and student dimensions. The university strategically prioritised teaching and student experiences, implemented staff development initiatives, and addressed challenges in student engagement and placements post-pandemic. We identify aspects that led to successful long-term adoption of approaches to revitalise provision and highlight long-term challenges that still need solutions.
Revitalising Motivation: Second language acquisition research as a means to understand student demotivation
Authors: Gearing Nigel
Published: May 2024

Because second language (L2) acquisition is the branch of learning with the highest rate of learning failure, it provides the ideal starting point to draw from research into which factors demotivate these learners and why. Much L2 motivation research insight has high transferable value. I have drawn from it to positively inform my mentoring of pathway/foundation students and have found it extremely effective in fostering retention of online learners studying in any discipline. This article draws on this research and places it in the context of ‘crisis’ situations, including Covid-19, to illustrate its value.

Published: May 2024

The Data Analytics team at The University of Waikato gathers student feedback (as rich qualitative data) but manual analysis of these comments poses a time challenge for reporting. To address this, we explored the possibility of condensing qualitative information by leveraging natural language processing (NLP) technology, specifically Google’s NLP sentiment analysis. We employed a robust coding framework to test the validity of NLP-coded student feedback, analysing 1000 comments from the University’s 2021 course evaluations. Results show a statistical correlation between our sentiment analysis and NLP, offering promising evidence for NLP’s efficacy in providing accurate, high-level insights into student feedback sentiment.

It is firmly situated in the context of constructivist approaches seeking to enhance student learning. Using TTRPG-based approaches, however, presents significant challenges, not least of which are student unfamiliarity, cognitive load, and resistance, as well as additional instructor workload. This study seeks to aid instructors in determining how best to approach the use of TTRPG-based teaching while focusing on using the strengths of TTRPGs to help facilitate learning.
Using a Word Game to Revitalise Language and Promote Equity and Inclusion in a Quantitative Subject
Authors: Botes Vida
Published: May 2024

Each year increasing numbers of Māori and Pacifica students graduate from universities but the numbers qualifying in accounting remain dismal. Many reasons for this phenomenon have been explored, one of which is a lack of cultural representation. This paper provides a reflective commentary on how gaming can be used in a quantitative subject to promote an Indigenous language to foster equity and inclusion in the classroom. Looking through the lens of a Constructivist Developmental Pedagogy, the paper applies cultural intelligence to urge proponents of diversity to go beyond merely recognizing awareness of cultural differences to embed cultural appreciation in learning.

Grembach – etnograficzny przewodnik po łódzkim osiedlu jest pierwszą, szczegółową prezentacją fragmentu Łodzi, który do tej pory nie doczekał się odrębnego opracowania. 
 
Grembach to osiedle robotnicze, które powstało pod koniec XIX wieku w podłódzkiej wsi Widzew. Życie na Grembachu związane było przede wszystkim z wybudowaną tu Fabryką Nici, która dawała pracę, mieszkania w przyfabrycznych domach i organizowała robotnikom czas po pracy. 
W przewodniku prowadzimy czytelnika po przestrzeni osiedla, w którym robotnicy kiedyś zorganizowali „swój” świat. Jego obraz zrekonstruowałyśmy na podstawie wspomnień kilku pokoleń mieszkańców, fotografii i dokumentów archiwalnych. Podążamy śladami, które na Grembachu pozostawiła po sobie jego robotnicza przeszłość i które odsyłają nas do tego, co kiedyś „tu” było, idziemy za relacjami wspomnieniowymi odtwarzającymi życie robotników w okresie międzywojennym i w czasie PRL.

Kierownictwo Badań nad Początkami Państwa Polskiego (1949–1953)
Authors: Szczerba Adrianna
Published: May 2024

Przedmiotem moich dociekań naukowych była działalność Kierownictwa Badań nad Początkami Państwa Polskiego (1949–1953) – instytucji powołanej przez Ministerstwo Kultury i Sztuki dla realizacji interdyscyplinarnych badań nad genezą i funkcjonowaniem państwa pierwszych Piastów, które podjęto (już rok wcześniej) w związku z koniecznością uczczenia 1000-lecia państwa polskiego i jego chrztu. Akcja „przygotowania wielkiej rocznicy” – choć inaczej tę rocznicę rozumiał Kościół, inaczej Państwo, a jej cele naukowe splatały się z politycznymi – była największym przedsięwzięciem w dziejach polskiej humanistyki w okresie powojennym. Program badań milenijnych zmienił stan naszej wiedzy o czasach początków polskiej państwowości i miejscu Polski na mapie wczesnośredniowiecznej Europy. Odegrał również ważną rolę w kreowaniu nowej świadomości narodowej społeczeństwa polskiego po zmianie granic w 1945 roku.
Rozpatrując działalność Kierownictwa, wzięłam pod uwagę takie zagadnienia, jak: stan wiedzy na temat początków państwa polskiego przed „akcją milenijną”, geneza badań nad początkami państwa polskiego, struktura organizacyjna Kierownictwa i podstawy finansowe jego działalności, problematyka badawcza i założenia metodologiczne, formy pracy naukowej, a także dalsze losy badań milenijnych po likwidacji Kierownictwa w 1953 roku (grupa w nim pracująca została włączona w strukturę nowo utworzonego Instytutu Historii Kultury Materialnej PAN). Gruntowne opracowanie dokonań Kierownictwa Badań nad Początkami Państwa Polskiego jest niezbędne do określenia wpływu tej instytucji na rozwój polskiej archeologii jako dyscypliny naukowej i szerzej – polskiej humanistyki. Problematyka ta, mimo upływu blisko 70 lat od zainicjowania programu milenijnego przez środowisko naukowe, nie została wcześniej w pełni opracowana.
Morphological Trait based Genetic Divergence and Correlation in Barley Genotypes for Drought Tolerance
Authors:   Wheat and Barley Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS HAU, Hisar 125004 (Haryana), India, Kumar Yogender
Published: May 2024

An experiment was conducted to explore the genetic diversity for the selection and utilization of drought-tolerant barley genotypes in future breeding approaches for yield enhancement. The experimental material comprised thirty barley genotypes planted at the Barley Research Area, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, under drought conditions during 2015-16 and 2016-17. All the genotypes were classified into four distinct clusters. Cluster IV occupied the maximum number of genotypes, i.e. 17, followed by cluster I with eight genotypes. Cluster II and III possessed three and two genotypes, respectively. The average inter-cluster distance was found to be highest between clusters II and III (261.7), followed by clusters III and IV (188.1), while the lowest inter-cluster distance was observed between clusters II and IV (73.8). Cluster I, comprised of eight genotypes, exhibited maximum germination per cent. Cluster II consisted of three genotypes, characterized by high initial vigour, early heading and minimum plant height. Two genotypes from cluster III exhibited minimum internode length, longest spike, and maximum number of tillers per meter and were also found promising for the traits viz., culm thickness, number of grains per spike, 1000-grain weight and grain yield per plot. Cluster IV, being the largest one, had 17 genotypes with the characteristic features of early maturity. Number of effective tillers per meter showed significant positive correlation with grain yield per plot. This trait could be used as a key component in the screening and selection of drought-tolerant genotypes. The improvement in barley could be achieved through the use of genotypes namely JB 481 and Lakhan assigned in clusters III. These genotypes might be considered as potential parents to obtain high heterotic response and accordingly better segregant for grain yield under drought condition.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between the design concepts of Dutch siege fortifications and the VOC's siege practices in Asia in the 17th century. In terms of "the design concepts of Dutch siege fortifications," mainly based on the theoretical work OF BESIEGING TOWNS AND FORTRESSES (Vant Belegherin Der Steden en Sterckten), written by Simon Stevin (1548-1620), a Dutch military engineer. Stevin had served in the Dutch army as a military advisor to Prince Maurice of Nassau (1585-1625), co-planning a number of sieges. Moreover, he was designated to found the engineering school at Leiden University. Thus, Stevin's works reflect the tactics and design concepts of sieges in the 16th-17th centuries. Regarding "the VOC's siege practices in Asia," mainly derived from the establishment of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, abbreviated as the VOC) in 1602. Its purposes were not only to gather wealth but also to attack the power of Spain and Portugal. The government empowered the VOC with the rights to recruit troops, purchase quality guns and cannons, and even represent the country to declare war or make peace with the flags of red, white, and blue. As a result, the globe-wide expansion of the VOC led to several sieges in Asia, as well as cross-cultural military exchanges between Europe and Asia.
Genetic System and Evolutionary Trends in Solanum nigrum Complex II: Cytomorphological Studies of the Hybrids between Hexaploid Indian Solanum nigrum Linn. and Solanum nodiflorum Jacq.
Authors: Khan A. H. , Rao G. R. , Khan Reayat
Published: May 2024

Cytomorphological characteristics of Indian hexaploid S. nigrum and S. nodiflorum and of their F1hybrids were studied. The parents differed significantly in several morphological and cytological characters. The hybrids were highly sterile and did not set seed.They showed a wide range of meiotic irregularities. In several pollen mother cells, trivalents and quadrivalents were recorded, although in a very low frequency, in addition to a large number of univalents and bivalents. Occasionally bridges with or without fragments, were recorded. The results of these investigations show that chromosomal differences as well as genic differences have played an important role in reproductive isolation and morphological differentiation of the two species.

Frullania tuyamae Hatt. & Thaith. (Hepaticae) from Manipur (Eastern India)-New to India
Authors: Lal Jagdish
Published: May 2024

While investigating the Hepaticae of Manipur State (23Â°47'-25Â°41' N and 93Â°61'-94Â°43' E) collected during February-March 1978, the presence of an interesting species of Frullania was noticed. The point of interest centered round the numerous gemmae borne on the margins of dorsal leaf-lobes, a rare feature for the genus Frullania. This plant resembles Frullania tuyanae Hatt. & Thaith., a species recently instituted by Hattori and Thaithong (1978) from Laos. The species so far endemic to Laos is being reported for the first time from India. The present species of Frullania is distinctive from all other known species from India in having numerous gemmae restricted to the margins of leaf-lobes and leaf-lobules. The relevant taxononic features of the plant are given below.
