Backlash: The Primordial Response to (Teaching) Critical Race Theory and U.S. History
Authors: Wedderburn Nadine
Published: April 2024

Although Critical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that students are not likely to encounter before college graduate levels, it has been targeted for how topics related to race and racism in U.S. historical context should be addressed in K-12 and tertiary curricula.  This author argues that the heightened attention to CRT across local, state, and federal legislature reflects a primeval response that is rooted in whiteness and repulsive towards truth-telling, consciousness-raising, and justice-oriented action. Utilizing Isabel Wilkerson’s conceptualization of ‘caste’ and pivotal moments in U.S. history that center the lives and experiences of racialized people, the paper aims to show that the instinctive response is consistently activated to stymie any shift perceived as threatening to U.S. racial order.

Intersectionality of Black Women in The Civil Rights Journey
Authors: McClarey Madelyn
Published: April 2024

My art highlights the intersectionality of Black Women historians in America. Although segregation in America made it almost impossible for Black Women to be educated. The Black Church (AME) and the development of the first Historically Black Colleges and Universities created networks of scholarship that Black Women have employed. As a Black American woman historian, and an HBCU legacy it is my pleasure to share my artwork with you.

Authors: Kemei Janet , Asirifi Mary , Nelson Jody , Khalema Emily M. , Adekoya Augustina T. , Satimehin Oluwaseun O.
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Black women in Canada are at higher risk of poor mental health outcomes; this is associated with disparities such as poor access to healthcare and aggravated by racial discrimination and poor living conditions.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the extent and nature of literature on access to mental healthcare services for Black women during the perinatal period in regions outside of Africa and the Caribbean.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic article search using Medline, Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); PsycINFO; ProQuest Public Health Database. The search strategy based on the following aspects: 1) Perinatal mental health, specifically maternal mental health 2) People of color, specifically Black people of African descent, or the African diaspora 3) Experiences with mental healthcare, specifically access and utilization. Arksey & O’Malley’s framework for conducting scoping reviews was chosen. The included studies met the following criteria: 1) articles that focused on Black Women during perinatal period living in regions outside of African and the Caribbean, 2) studies with topics related to mental health services among Black women during perinatal period.

RESULTS: n=12 articles met the inclusion criteria. The following themes were identified from the analysis of literature: 1) Disparities in utilization of mental healthcare services, 2) Spirituality, Faith, and Religion, 3) Accessibility of mental healthcare services.

CONCLUSION: There is a paucity of evidence about the mental health of prenatal and postnatal Black women living outside Africa and the Caribbean in countries other than the US, the UK, and Canada. 
Profiles of Community Care Sites and provider Community Health Workers: A Case study at Gombe Matadi, Kenge and Kisantu Rural Health Zones in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Authors: Etshumba Jean Mukulukulu , Bebe Dosithée Ngo , Emina Jacques , Ndosimao Célestin Nsibu
Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, the DRC is ones of countries with high infant and child mortality. To solve this problem, the Ministry of Public Health has set up a new program: ICCM at the level of Community Care Sites managed by non-health professionals who are provider CHWs to serve Health Areas with difficult access. Since its implementation, there have not yet been many studies that concretely describe the functionality of CCS. To contribute to the extension of CCC in other Rural Health Zones, we conducted a study in 3 RHZ by choosing the Realistic Evaluation Approach to analyze the functionality of CCS in the DRC.

METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study which is essentially a case study. Data were collected at the CCS level in these 3 RHZ chosen after multistage random sampling by mixed method (qualitative, quantitative). We used the following techniques: documentary review, direct observation at the CCS level, an in-depth interview with registered nurses and members of the health Zone management team and a survey using quantitative questionnaire with provider CHWs. The conceptual model that we developed is inspired by realist evaluation with an emphasis on Mechanisms. The relationship between the dependent variable (CCS functionality) and the independent variables was proven using Odds Ratio and Multiple Logistic Regression.

RESULTS: CCS functionality and provider CHW profile were measured through the standards enacted for CCS implantation. At the significance level (p=0.05) has been in place for 3 years or more increases by 7 times chance that it is functional (OR = 6.7; p = 0.000). Has household been located less than 5 km from CCS increases by 4 times chance that the CCS is functional (OR = 7.04; p = 0.034). Has provider CHW is regularly trained and supervised increases by 10 times chance that the CCS is functional (OR = 10.01; p = 0.031). If provider CHW participate in Community cell animation meetings (OR = 4.34; p = 0.009) and CCS Management is done by CCS Management team increase by 4 times chance that this CCS is functional (OR = 3.6; p = 0.002). Finally, if there is an initiative for funding CCS increases by 8 times CCS functionality (OR = 8.69; p = 0.009).

CONCLUSION: CCS are functional in the 3 RHZs. Their organization, establishment and operation are directly linked to the provision of services to populations living mainly in health areas with difficult access, the availability of inputs of three ICCM-C diseases management, namely uncomplicated malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia as well as building provider community health workers capacity to ensure their management. This study shows an effective contribution of provider CHWs on CCS functionality in health areas with difficult access.

Food Labelling Exemptions: A Scientific and Comprehensive Analysis
Authors: Manjrekar Dhanashree , Bahurupi Yogesh , Aggarwal Pradeep , Singh Mahendra
Published: April 2024

Nutrition constitutes a vital element of health and development. In India, there is an alarming rise in the food industry and this has led to an increased uptake of foods high in fats, salt, and sugar (HFSS) and ultra-processed foods. Food labelling is a procedure where a label, containing printed, written, or graphic materials, is provided with the food thereby facilitating communication between the consumer and the manufacturers. In 2022, FSSAI has exempted specific food products from the stringent requirements of detailed nutritional labelling. Exemptions are applied to commodities such as raw agricultural products, liquid products in reusable bottles, alcoholic beverages, self-serve condiments, and modified meals as per the customer's request, single unit packaging, and packets under 100 sq. cm. In conclusion, these exemptions strike a balance between reducing the regulatory burden for smaller packaging and ensuring consumers' right to essential information.

Issue and Challenges of Mathematics Education in Vyas Municipality Ward No-1, Nepal
Authors: Mishra (Pantha) Chandra Maya
Published: April 2024

Mathematics is not a subject that can be enjoyed easily like other subjects because other subjects contain different stories, poems and themes that touch different emotions. Although it is found that the beginning of mathematics education started from ancient times, it is found that it was tried to be organized from the year 1537. In this study, an attempt has been made to investigate the real challenges and issues in mathematics education. Although many problems were seen in mathematics teaching, I was forced to think about various questions. Is it because of incompetent teachers that the students' academic loss is happening in mathematics? Is there a decrease in achievement due to the lack of interest of students in mathematics? Various research questions were prepared and objectives were prepared and the research work was carried forward. This study proceeded to explore the reality of teachers' real issues and challenges in mathematics education. It was possible to identify many issues and challenges through the tests conducted on certain schools and certain students and teachers. Studying based on the 3-year academic achievement of the students selected in the sample from the research, although only 3 students have improved, the scores have been declining year after year. It seems that only 7 percent of the students like mathematics. A total of 40 students and 2 schools in rural areas and 2 schools in urban areas have been selected in the sample selection. Although every educational aspect of the teachers is good, the failure of mathematics subject to become a subject of interest and the annual educational loss in mathematics is a challenge and issue of mathematics teachers. It is expected that the mathematics education can be improved if the stakeholders make strategies and plans based on the results obtained from this research.

Published: April 2024

This study focused into jeepney drivers' perceptions in Indang, Cavite regarding the impact of jeepney modernization on terms of financial needs, individuality, and work opportunities. It includes demographic profiling of the participants in terms of age, sex, work experiences, and jeepney driver’s ownership. The survey questionnaire is divided into three categories which is financial needs, individuality, and work opportunities. It used a 4-point Likert Scale to get the perception of the jeepney drivers regarding the jeepney modernization in each category. After the survey has done the researchers measured first the median of ungrouped data of each question and category to see the overall perception. It showed significant disagreement among jeepney drivers regarding financial needs and work opportunities, but agreement on individuality. The researchers used the Friedmann Test and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test to see if their significant differences exist as a group or as a pair category. As per result of Friedmann Test it shows the three categories stated doesn’t affect each other as a group of three. When it comes to Wilcoxon results rejected the null hypothesis, indicating a significant difference in perceptions of jeepney modernization categories. Overall, drivers disagreed on the entire program, opposing its implementation. To address jeepney modernization concerns effectively, recommendations include a thorough quantitative survey, financial impact assessment, analysis of post-modernization employment changes, monitoring public sentiment, comparing drivers' perceptions over time, engaging key stakeholders, using age frequency distribution, and adopting a mixedmethods approach. These suggestions aim to provide valuable insights, aid issue resolution, identify improvements, and support drivers through the modernization process. In summary, this study highlights varied impacts of jeepney modernization on driver perceptions. Despite potential benefits, significant opposition persists, particularly from drivers who view their profession as more than a job, investing time and energy into the world of jeepneys.

ANALYSIS OF BIOPOLYMER FROM CASSAVA PEEL USING CROSSLINKER CR3+ AS AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL IN WATER CONING
Authors: Rita Novia , Daniati Arik , Soraya Hanna
Published: April 2024

Polymers play a crucial role in chemical processes for controlling water condensation. This study chose biopolymer materials derived from cassava peels due to their superior environmental sustainability compared to synthetic polymers commonly used in water conditioning. While synthetic polymers are frequently employed for water conditioning, they may pose adverse environmental impacts. The chemical polymer introduced into the water formation involves the injection of a chromium (Cr3+)-based agent, enhancing viscosity and impeding water movement. The primary objective of this study is to utilize cellulose from cassava peels as the main component for producing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, aimed at mitigating water coning. The synthesis and hydrolysis processes involve the use of sulfuric acid and cassava peels as biopolymers. The Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy test revealed the presence of functional groups such as OH, C-H, C-O, and C=O in the cassava epidermis. The cellulose yield ranged from 62.3% to 90%, demonstrating a proportional decrease in yield weight with increased sulfuric acid concentration. Concentrations of 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 ppm were employed, with salinity set at 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 ppm, respectively. These conditions were maintained at 60, 70, and 80°C. The compatibility of solutions with concentrations of 1,000 and 2,000 ppm was assessed. The results indicate that solutions at 1,000 and 2,000 ppm concentrations are sui, showing no precipitate and clear characteristics.

Argan tree (Argania spinosa) is the unique representative of Sapotaceae family in North-Africa. This family is commonly growing in pantropical areas. The current study focused on the diversity of foliage insect associated to A. spinosa, and their seasonality in four sites in Souss region. Insects were trapped using sticky yellow traps installed on each sampled Argan tree. Consequently, 241 morphospecies were identified represented by seven orders. Hemiptera was the most abundant, followed by Diptera and Hymenoptera. However, the remains orders represented only less than 4%. A high taxonomic richness was recorded for Hymenoptera (100 morphospecies) followed by Diptera (70) and Coleoptera (39). Data analysis shows a quantitative dominance of some insects’ families. Within Hemiptera, Aleyrodidae represented up to 80% of total captures. Coccinellidea was the most abundant family of Coleoptera representing over 62%. Among Diptera and Hymenoptera, more than 60% of total abundance was represented only by five families. Argan foliage insects exhibited seasonal variations. Therefore, high significant diversity parameters were recorded during spring. However, the lowest diversity was recorded during summer in Belfaa and during autumn for the other sites. Five trophic guilds were reported. Their abundance was influenced by seasonal variation. Herbivores abundance was highly significant compared to the others trophic guilds throughout all sampling seasons. Except Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann, which infests argan fruits during the two latest stages of maturity, none of its herbivores is known as economic interest to the argan tree. On the other hand, argan trees host a complex structure of functional taxa, including pest regulating (predators and parasitoids) and pollinators.
Protective effect of neem leaf extract and dexamethasone in cigarette-smoke induced liver and kidney injury in Swiss mice: A comparative analysis
Authors: VERMA Anushree , SUBHASHINI  , SRIVASHTAV Vishal , SINGH Abhinav
Published: April 2024

Cigarette smoke (CS) is one of the leading causes of lung injury where co-morbidity in different organs including liver and kidney can be observed. CS contributes as one of the causes of mortality across the globe. Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid is widely used as an anti-inflammatory medication despite being associated with several side effects with long-term usage. Therefore, the present study focused on the comparison between dexamethasone and Azadirachta indica leaf extract (AILE) for treating hepatic and renal injury caused by CS in mice. The phytochemical screening of AILE revealed the abundance of phytocompounds as sterols, proteins, alkaloids, flavonoids and diterpenes that might have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. In this context, Swiss mice were treated with CS, dexamethasone and AILE. CS-induced mice expressed elevated inflammatory cells, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) with higher levels of both liver and kidney function markers: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and creatinine respectively which was reversed by AILE. No mortality was observed in CS or AILE-treated group while dexamethasone-treated mice exclusively resulted in 20% mortality. Moreover, CS-induced mice also exhibited declined SOD levels in the liver and kidney and higher Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) which was modulated by AILE treatment. This is the first report demonstrating in vivo the effects of A. indica ethanolic leaf extract in treating CS-induced hepatic and renal chronic inflammation in an animal model which gave better results when compared to dexamethasone.

Published: April 2024

Antioxidants and phenolic compounds have always been tested as chemoprotective agents to regulate disease progression related to oxidative stress. Through this study, we investigate the possible corrective effects of caffeic acid and coumarin against aluminum- (Al-) induced stress response and liver damage in rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (10 rats per group), cotreated with caffeic acid (30 mg kg-1) and coumarin (5 mg kg-1) and exposed to aluminum (60 mg kg-1) for 45 days. Al induced significant alterations in body and liver weight over time. It also led to a marked increase in plasma levels of transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase), alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase. Additionally, there was a substantial change in the lipid profile, characterized by elevated levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol in both serum and liver. Furthermore, the LDL-c level and the HDL-c/total cholesterol ratio in serum were also affected. In contrast, the levels of HDL-c in serum and phospholipids in liver tissues were reduced. The results of this study also showed increased levels of TBARS, protein carbonyls, nitrates/nitrites, and TNF-α. Conversely, the activity of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, GP-x, and SOD) was reduced. These altered parameters were restored after treating rats with caffeic acid and coumarin. Our study strongly suggests that caffeic acid and coumarin possess antioxidant properties and hepatoprotective capacity by attenuating aluminum toxicity-induced liver damage.

Published: April 2024

Anak Usia Sekolah adalah anak yang berada pada periode usia pertengahan yaitu usia 6-12 tahun dimana biasanya disebutkan dengan masa intelektual. Indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dan aktivitas fisik adalah dua variabel yang berkorelasi, karena semakin tinggi intensitas aktivitas fisik, semakin baik IMT. Di sisi lain, semakin sedikit aktivitas fisik, semakin buruk BMI. Aktivitas fisik yang rendah menyebabkan tubuh menumpuk energi dalam bentuk lemak. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan aktivitas fisik dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) pada anak usia sekolah. Metode: Desain penelitian kuantitatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Sekolah Dasar Negeri 39 Pekanbaru dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 110 anak kelas 4 dan 5 dengan teknik proportional stratified random sampling. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah lembar kuesioner dan timbangan serta meteran. Analisis pada uji statistik menggunakan analisis univariat menggunakan data demografi, tinggi badan dan berat badan. Hasil: Hasil penelitian didapatkan sebagian besar anak Sekolah Dasar Negeri 39 Pekanbaru memiliki indeks massa tubuh (IMT) obesitas sebanyak 54 orang (49,1%) dengan aktivitas fisik responden pada kategori sedang sebanyak 85 orang (77,3%). Kesimpulan: semakin tinggi aktivitas seseorang maka semakin tingi pula indeks massa tubuh seseorang dan sebaliknya jika aktivitas fisik seseorang rendah maka rendah pula indeks massa tubuh.

Доходы и благосостояние католического духовенства средневекового Крыма: постановка проблемы
Authors: Гусельников Тимур Андреевич
Published: April 2024

Статья обращается к проблеме экономического благосостояния и финансов средневековой католической церкви на примере миссионерских структур и епархий Крыма XIII-XV вв. Значительный, но не постоянный доход духовенство получало от завещателей и дарителей, которые могли быть мотивированы возможностью получить индульгенции, издаваемые в пользу церквей и монастырей региона. Оценить доходность церковных бенефициев помогают сведения об уплате аннатов - побора, собираемого папством за назначение епископа или настоятеля - и оценка доходности по «книге налогов» (liber taxarum). Клирики за пределами Каффы не имели постоянного дохода и получали выплаты из казны генуэзской коммуны, зафиксированные в книгах массарии.
Специфика архитектурного решения ротонды в Конюхе
Authors: Образцова Ксения Борисовна
Published: April 2024

Статья посвящена ротонде в Конюхе - раннехристианской постройке на территории Дардании. Работа стала продолжением предшествующего исследования, в котором церковь была рассмотрена как пример сооружения на территории со спорным влиянием Рима и Константинополя. Анализ литургического устройства ротонды привел к выводу о тесной связи построек Дардании с северо-греческой архитектурной практикой, в рамках которой был выработан ряд специфических черт. В настоящей работе мы попытались найти объяснение тем архитектурным особенностям ротонды в Конюхе, которые оказались редкими для Балканского региона и не сводимыми к северо-греческому влиянию. Общая структура небольшой постройки и особенно вариант компактного нартекса с изолированными компартиментами по сторонам обнаружили ближайшие параллели среди северо-балканских памятников VI в., вероятно, сопряженных с традицией Первой Юстинианы (Iustiniana Prima). На этом этапе форма и назначение западных помещений, в одном из которых находился дьяконник, а во втором баптистерий, были стандартизированы, однако истоки типологии вновь указывают на определяющее значение местных, а не константинопольских влияний. Прочие свойства ротонды, во многом определившие уникальность ее облика, стали результатом огрубления и упрощения известных мотивов. Прежде всего, к ним относятся трапециевидный абрис стен, а также прямоугольная снаружи апсида. Обстоятельства определили и строительные материалы сооружения: каменные квадры, как и сдвоенные колонны обхода,на наш взгляд, были использованы вторично.
Концепт «царства» (βασιλεία) в 47-й новелле Юстиниана Великого (537 г.)
Authors: Кузенков Павел Владимирович
Published: April 2024

Закон Юстиниана Великого о новой формуле датировки документов (Новелла 47) не устраняет древнюю традицию датировки по консулам, но вводит в официальный лексикон империи новый, ранее чуждый для него концепт «царства» (βασιλεία). Семиотическая специфика данного термина заключается в том, что он не имеет точной аналогии в латинском языке: регулярно используемый для его перевода термин «imperium» не передает всей полноты коннотаций греческого слова, объединяющего в себе три семантических линии: восходящее к архаике греческое именование легитимной монархической власти; восприятие Римской империи как преемницы эллинистических государств Востока; христианское обозначение высшей власти как таковой, имеющее как библейско-историческое,так и мистико-эсхатологическое измерение. Характерно, что Юстиниан, аргументируя необходимость введения года царствования как главного элемента официальной датировки документов, не апеллирует к религиозному контексту, ограничиваясь антикварно-исторической аргументацией с опорой на римскую древность. Это позволяет расценивать данный акт как стремление, с одной стороны, в очередной раз актуализировать «римское наследие» Константинополя (на фоне войны за Италию с готами), с другой - легализовать в поле имперской политической идеологии концепт βασιλεία, окончательно закрепившийся в VII в. при императоре Ираклии.
