Published: January 2020

The present paper based on the theoretical underpinning of Graham Huggans The Postcolonial Exotic and Lisa Laus Re-Orientalism: The Perpetration and Development of Orientalism by Oriental explores the archetypal, essentialist and the stereotype representation in contemporary young adult fictions Skunk Girl (2009) by Sheba Karim and Wanting Mor (2010) by Rukhsana Khan, the American/European Pakistani authors. Both Huggan and Lau have traced the intended strategies deployed by the Anglophonic authors particularly those of global critical acclaim, winners of laurels andawards have asserted the notion of othering, whereupon getting the legitimation and license of global merchandising. All emerging genres including young adult fictions by Anglophone writers enthralled by the contemporary trend of global merchandising are treading in the footsteps of their seniors. It is the portrayal of these essentialist tropes in the young adult fictions, primarily by the aforementioned writers that the current paper intends to embark.

Authors: Ali Sayyed Rashid , Ahmad Hussain , Khan Arshad Ali
Published: January 2020

This conceptual paper reviews literature on the most common practices of language tests in ELT contexts around the world. The detailed discussion of various types of language tests is followed by its various aims and objectives which are linked to the qualities or characteristics of different language tests. The review of the literature reveals that language tests and its purposes vary from context to context and there is a wide range of practical constraints that test designers, test-takers, and test administrators encounter. Particularly, in the Saudi EFL context, EFL teachers lack a voice in the process of language assessment and there is a serious dearth of professional development training to raise EFL teachers awareness of language tests and develop their assessment literacy. The review of the literature suggests that in various EFL/ESL contexts, more top-notch assessment methods need to be introduced and in the Saudi setting.

Authors: khan Saira Asghar , Qadir Saima Amin
Published: January 2020

This study analyzes the agenda-setting done by anchors using topical management in the interactional aspect of the institutional speech event; the Political News Interview (henceforth Political talk-show). In the current scenario of 24/7 news, audiences turn to political talk-shows to understand the events of the day and judge the news. The discussion on topics in the political talk-shows is managed and developed by the anchor. This study carries out a discourse analysis of the recorded talk-shows for topical shifts and perspectival shifts to check if the topic is set and controlled by the anchor, by not allowing participants to bring any information to the discussion. The qualitative analysis of topical shifts reveals that the anchor keeps tight control over the topic set in the openings and using the technique of topical management the anchor keeps the agenda set through the development of perspectives and recycling of topics.

Challenges to Indus Waters Treaty and Options for Pakistan
Authors: Bhatti Muhammad Nawaz , Mustafa Ghulam , Waris Muhammad
Published: January 2020

The Indus water treaty was signed on 19th September 1960 by India and Pakistan under the aegis of the World Bank. Bilateral principles regarding water apportionment between both states were ensured by the Treaty. As a result, waters of the eastern rivers; Sutlej, Beas and Ravi, were assigned exclusively to India, while Pakistan received exclusive water rights of the western rivers; the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab but India is allowed to irrigate some specific land in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and to generate hydroelectric power through run-off-the river projects. Following the Uri incident, the Indian government and media are generating ideas to discard the Indus water treaty. This paper focuses on legal and international implications if India attempts to unilaterally revoke the Treaty.
Three-dimensional architecture of the neurovascular and adipose zones of the upper and lower lumbar intervertebral foramina: an epoxy sheet plastination study
Authors: Xu Zhaoyang , Lin Guoxiong , Zhang Han , Xu Shengchun , Zhang Ming
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

Kambin’s triangle and the safe triangle are common posterolateral approaches for lumbar transforaminal endoscopic surgery and epidural injection. To date, no consensus has been reached on the optimal transforaminal approach, in particular its underlying anatomical mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate the 3D architecture of the neurovascular and adipose zones in the upper and lower lumbar intervertebral foramina (IVFs).

METHODS

Using the epoxy sheet plastination technology, 22 cadaveric lumbar spines (12 female and 10 male, age range 46–89 years) were prepared as a series of transverse (11 sets), sagittal (8 sets), and coronal (3 sets) slices with a thickness of 0.25 mm (6 sets) or 2.5 mm (16 sets). The high-resolution images of the slices were scanned and analyzed. The height, area, and volume of 30 IVFs from T12–L1 to L4–5 were estimated and compared. This study was performed in accord with the authors’ institutional ethical guidelines and approved by the institutional ethics committees.

RESULTS

The findings were as follows. 1) The 3D boundaries of the lumbar IVF and its subdivisions were precisely defined. 2) The 3D configuration of the neurovascular and adipose zones was different between the upper and lower lumbar IVFs; zoning in the upper lumbar IVFs was much more complex than that in the lower lumbar IVFs. 3) In general, the infraneural adipose zone gradually tapered and rotated from the inferoposterolateral aspect to the superoanteromedial aspect. 4) The average height, area, and volume of the IVF gradually increased from the upper to the lower lumbar spine. Within a lumbar IVF, the volumes below and above the inferior border of the dorsal root ganglia were similar.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlights differences of fine 3D architecture of neurovascular and adipose tissues between the upper and lower lumbar IVFs, with related effects on the transforaminal approaches. The findings may contribute to optimization of the surgical approaches to and through the IVF at different lumbar spinal levels and also may help to shorten the learning curve for the transforminal techniques.
Surgical management of moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a fusionless posterior dynamic deformity correction device: interim results with bridging 5–6 disc levels at 2 or more years of follow-up
Authors: Floman Yizhar , El-Hawary Ron , Millgram Michael A. , Lonner Baron S. , Betz Randal R.
Published: January 2020

OBJECTIVE

A posterior dynamic deformity correction (PDDC) system was used to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) without fusion. The preliminary outcomes of bridging only 3–4 discs in patients with variable curve severity have previously been reported. This paper examines a subgroup of patients with the authors’ proposed current indications for this device who were also treated with a longer construct.

METHODS

Inclusion criteria included a single AIS structural curve between 40° and 60°, curve flexibility ≤ 30°, PDDC spanning 5–6 levels, and minimum 2-year follow-up. A retrospective review was conducted and demographic and radiographic data were recorded. A successful outcome was defined as a curve magnitude of ≤ 30° at final follow-up. Any serious adverse events and reoperations were recorded.

RESULTS

Twenty-two patients who met the inclusion criteria were operated on with the PDDC in 5 medical centers. There were 19 girls and 3 boys, aged 13–17 years, with Risser grades ≥ 2. Thirteen had Lenke type 1 curves and 9 had type 5 curves. The mean preoperative curve was 47° (range 40°–55°). At a minimum of 2 years’ follow-up, the mean major curve measured 25° (46% correction, p < 0.05). In 18 (82%) of 22 patients, the mean final Cobb angle measured ≤ 30° (range 15°–30°). Trunk shift was corrected by 1.5 cm (range 0.4–4.3 cm). The mean minor curve was reduced from 27° to 17° at final follow-up (35% correction, p < 0.05). For Lenke type 1 patterns, the mean 2D thoracic kyphosis was 24° preoperatively versus 27° at final follow-up (p < 0.05), and for Lenke type 5 curves, mean lumbar lordosis was 47° preoperatively versus 42° at final follow-up (p < 0.05). The mean preoperative Scoliosis Research Society-22 questionnaire score improved from 2.74 ± 0.3 at baseline to 4.31 ± 0.4 at 2 years after surgery (p < 0.0001). The mean preoperative self-image score and satisfaction scores improved from preoperative values, while other domain scores did not change significantly. Four patients (18%) underwent revision surgery because of nut loosening (n = 2), pedicle screw backup (n = 1), and ratchet malfunction (n = 1).

CONCLUSIONS

In AIS patients with a single flexible major curve up to 60°, the fusionless PDDC device achieved a satisfactory result as 82% had residual curves ≤ 30°. These findings suggest that the PDDC device may serve as an alternative to spinal fusion in select patients.

Published: January 2020

Recognizing childhood arterial ischemic stroke risk factors and presentation are extremely important for a prompt diagnosis and administration of hyperacute treatment requiring a high level of clinical suspicion. Stroke presentation in the pediatric population is not very specific,
yet it is imperative to distinguish it from other mimics that may require different medical management. Vascular imaging studies, including MRA, CTA, and advanced neuroimaging techniques (eg, arterial wall imaging and CT/MR perfusion images) are extremely useful in the diagnosis of arterial
ischemic stroke. This article offers a review of arterial pediatric ischemic stroke risk factors, clinical presentation, and the imaging appearance of the most common arterial ischemic stroke etiologies.Learning Objective: To recognize multiple risk factors, etiologies, and imaging presentations
of pediatric arterial ischemic strokes.

The Determination of the Intellectual Equipment Is Imperative: Mental Hygiene, Problem Children, and the History of the Provincial Child Guidance Clinic of British Columbia, 1932–1958
Authors: Thomson Gerald
Published: January 2020

The founding in 1932 of British Columbia’s provincial Child Guidance Clinic by Dr. A. L. Crease of Essondale Mental Hospital was seen as a medically progressive measure in the preventive work to stem mental ailments in children and prevent future adult mental illness. The clinic’s history and the influence of mental hygiene on early twentieth-century medical, educational, and social service agencies in BC that dealt with so-called “problem children” has received limited scholarly attention. This paper argues that the mental hygiene agenda was cultivated by psychiatrists working at mental asylums, teachers of “subnormal” children, child welfare advocates, and university-trained social workers, all of whom increasingly shaped child-saving policy in British Columbia. However, from its beginnings, the British Columbia provincial Child Guidance Clinic had an unstable clinical history and it was completely reorganized in 1946 and subsequently closed in 1958. The clinic’s history stood in stark contrast to Alberta’s child guidance clinics, which applied a rigid mental hygiene policy of eugenic sterilization until the early 1970s. This significant difference indicates the need for other detailed microhistories of child psychiatry and child guidance clinics across Canada.
Dissociations between perception and awareness in hemianopia
Authors: Chokron Sylvie , Dubourg Lucas , Garric Clémentine , Martinelli Fiora , Perez Céline
Published: January 2020

The most common visual defect to follow a lesion of the retrochiasmal pathways is homonymous hemianopia (HH), whereby patients are blind to the contralesional visual field of each eye. Homonymous hemianopia has been studied in terms of its deleterious consequences on perceptual, cognitive and motor tasks as well as because it represents an interesting model of vision loss after a unilateral lesion of the occipital lobe. From a behavioral perspective, in addition to exhibiting a severe deficit in their contralesional visual field, HH patients can also exhibit dissociations between perception and awareness. Firstly, HH patients suffering from anosognosia may be unaware of their visual field defect. Secondly, HH patients can present with unconscious visual abilities in the blind hemifield, a phenomenon referred to as blindsight. Thirdly, recent reports demonstrate that HH patients can suffer from a subtle deficit in their ipsilesional visual field that they are unaware of, a condition called sightblindness ( i.e. the reverse case of ‘ blindsight’). Finally, HH patients may also exhibit visual hallucinations in their blind field; however, such patients are not systematically aware that their perceptions are unreal. In this review, we provide an overview of the visual-field losses in HH patients after a left or right unilateral occipital lesion. Furthermore, we explore the implications of these four phenomena for models of visual processing and rehabilitation of visual field defects in HH patients. Finally, in contrast to the traditional view that HH is solely a visual-field defect, we discuss why this deficit is an interesting model for studying the dissociation between perception and awareness.
Латинська мова як чинник творення особливого культурного порубіжжя
Authors: Shevchenko Lyudmyla
Published: January 2020

Latin as a Factor in the Creation of a Special Cultural Frontier Abstract The article analyses the role of Latin as a universal means of communication among intellectuals during the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. The author argues that the main task of Neo-Latin studies in Ukraine is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of literature and the affirmation of the modern concept of the history of Ukrainian culture as an inherently synthetic process. As a result of even a superficial review of the Latin authors of the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries and the imagery of their works, we can learn much about the place and role of bourgeoisie and Polish noblemen in Ukrainian society of that time, as well as look with new eyes at the Cossacks, clergy, and peasants, reaching not only to previously unknown information but also, what is valuable to a philologist, to its refined wording. The representatives of a variety of professional circles, political views, and regions made their contribution to the Latin works in different genres during more than five hundred years – that is why the reader can now afford to choose works for every taste.
Deconstruction of Interpretative Models of Lesya Ukrainka’s The Forest Song
Authors: Moklytsia Mariia
Published: January 2020

The article explores a need to provide a permanent revision of the ways of reading classical texts. The fairy drama The Forest Song was written by Lesya Ukrainka, who is acclaimed as an outstanding dramatist of Ukrainian literature. This play has a vast bibliography and serves as a target of a variety of critical approaches. The point is, however, that the predominant position among them still belongs to the interpretative models generated by Lesya Ukrainka’s contemporaries. This refers, first of all, to those who have hitherto interpreted The Forest Song within the following two frameworks: neoromantic, grounded in Polissyan folklore and the author’s mythology, and neoclassical, launched by neoclassicists of the 1920s and based on the ties of Lesya Ukrainka’s play with classical drama. The scholars overlook, though, a conflict between the two interpretations. Each model, employed with no regard for the other one, operates on certain elements of the text. The scholars neglect the need to correlate their work with the other, totally inverse, model (neoromanticism and neoclassicism are, at a fundamental level, as aesthetically opposed to each other as are romanticism and classicism). The article offers a new model for reading the text of Lesya Ukrainka through the lens of symbolism. This model allows us to account for the congruence of classical normativity and romantic liberty within a single text.

Published: January 2020

In representative democracy, citizens with free vote, mainly political parties, elect their representatives to legislate, supervise, protect and make decisions that are in their interest. Given this, political leaders express the thoughts, wishes and will of the voters and act as their representatives when defending interest and making decisions that are related to the quality and the fate of their lives. Supporting their decisions can often be decisive for success and failure in their political career. Thus, in this paper work, it will be given views on how their decision-making is influenced by: leadership position and support from the coming party, constellation of political forces in parliament, achievement of a common platform and political consensus among political actors, constitutional norms, and broad civic support.

The methodology used will be in harmony with the purpose of the study. Here will be an analysis of the behavior and actions of the two leaders within the constellation built in their country. In the course of this, this study will be oriented to the analysis of the political circumstances prevailing in the respective countries, the position of leadership within the party, the position and constitutional functions that favor one or the other, the distribution of political forces in the respective parliaments and many other moments. For this purpose, the interviews of the two leaders, the statements of the opposition leaders in the respective countries, the statements of prominent politicians, the other political and legal documents will be analyzed with which they will provide sufficient evidence on how they can be influenced in the process of the decision-making process during the Serbia-Kosovo Normalization negotiations.

Characters in Fatos Kongoli Novel
Authors: TOTAJ Gjyle
Published: January 2020

The greater philosopher,Aristotle,dealing with the characters would have said that â€œdue to the fact that they imitate, they imitate acting people, and these people will, of course, be good or evil because characters almost always follow these two peculiarities and it is known that the difference of the character of all the people is done by the good or the evilâ€. Even though in the novels of our author, Fatos Kongoli, no such traditional line is followed, such distinction is perceptible in every literature and at any time, and of course, in the novels, we are analyzing. Literary scholar Anton Berisha says that "literary character is an important component element, especially of epic creations, may they be prose or poetryâ€. Berisha also adds that "they are known extremely successful realizations of the characters in the traditional novel, but also in contemporary and generally modern characters, are noteworthy, but also we do not miss the lyrical characters through which the subjective world is introduced.

The quality of aging or life after retirement is determined by levels of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. The levels of psychological well-being and quality of life satisfaction can be influenced by multiple factors including personality, perception of individuals about aging and the quality of respect they get from others. This study was conducted with 170 elderly individuals ranging from 65 to 85 years of age. The results showed significant relationships between dependent variables such as psychological well-being and life satisfaction, and the independent factors including personality, perception of aging and respect from others.

Differentiated Teaching Strategies with Children with Learning Difficulties
Authors: MORINA Shemsi
Published: January 2020

Teaching process every day and more is changing with a strong evolution, where the use of methods, forms and multiple techniques are transforming teaching in a complex and difficult process on the other hand the teaching process is faced today with a large number of exception and contradiction as:

Teachers often give students the task of exercises, for solution of which required knowledge of many subjects, despite the knowledge provided by the teacher were only on their case, so in this respect should be paid special attention to all stages through which ensure quality teaching and successful learning.

Teachers should be familiar with: difficulties, styles, interests, needs, trends and psychological abilities of each student in order to ensure their walk confidently ahead.

On the other hand they often have to break and be dedicated to a group of advanced students who have interests much broader than the rest of the class, in this regard have the skills, but the rest of the children have difficulties therefore require constant supervision and help of teachers.

These are some of the reasons that make teaching as a difficult and complex process. The teaching process as the learning had their history of development. Therefore they passed through the different stages being perfectly constantly.

From the very cognitive of these issues, it was concluded that both these processes are correlated with each other, which makes it even more complicated ( RaÃ§i, A. Gashi, Sh. 2001: 3).  Precisely for these reasons, studies and research on teaching and learning have been and are many today. These studies, as well as the interest accrued so teachers, psychologists, and experts in other fields, coupled with the fact that teaching and learning are continuous processes, such as understanding about them cannot ever finish ( QTKA,  2005: 13 ).

Fatalism â€“ Georgian Cultural Model
Authors: CHKHAIDZE Tamar , CHUBINIDZE Dimitri , GEGENAVA Elisabed
Published: January 2020

Fatalismâ€”belief that all events are predetermined and therefore inevitableâ€”have been studied by researchers from different disciplines as it is a significant notion to explain various aspects of individual and social life (health behavior, economic capital, political activity, social participation, etc.).  However, the weakness of using only etic methods to understand this complex phenomenon is strongly emphasized. We fully share this viewpoint and think that it is far more appropriate to study fatalism with an interdisciplinary approach such as Contemporary Psychological Anthropology. The aim of the present study was to emphasize the theoretical and methodological opportunities of studying fatalism within this field (specifically, within cultural models school) and presenting the results of the empirical study on the Georgian cultural model of fatalism in the light of the opportunities discussed.

 The theoretical apparatus of the cultural models' school allowed us to think of culturally shaped fatalism, not only as an element of objective culture beyond the mind but also as a part of the mind, namely, as a cognitive schema formed on the basis of shared experiences. To reveal components of this schema we used the in-depth interview as a data collection method and cultural analysis of discourse (specifically, metaphor analysis) as the data analysis method. Personal control, Deity, Destiny, Luck, and Helplessness emerged as the components of Georgian cultural schema according to this analysis.

Key words: Fatalism, Cultural Model, Emic Approach, Mutually Inclusive.

Анализ распространенности зубочелюстных аномалий среди детского населения Республики Беларусь позволяет определить степень нуждаемости в ортодонтическом лечении, оценить эффективность проводимых профилактических мероприятий, рассчитать объем необходимой ортодонтической помощи для различных областей страны.
Цель исследования. Оценить распространенность зубочелюстных аномалий и деформаций среди детей Брестской области, обратившихся за стоматологической помощью.
Объекты и методы исследования. Проведен анализ данных 454 стоматологических амбулаторных карт пациентов детского возраста, обратившихся за ортодонтической помощью в учреждения здравоохранения Бреста и Брестской области. В специально разработанной для исследования карте регистрировали следующие данные: возраст пациента, соотношение и характеристики зубных рядов в сагиттальной, вертикальной и трансверсальной плоскостях, размеры сагиттальной щели, величину вертикальной резцовой дизокклюзии, данные об изменении положения и числа отдельных зубов.
Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Наиболее часто в структуре ортодонтической патологии у детей в возрасте от 6 до 17 лет наблюдаются аномалии положения отдельных зубов (85,02 % случаев). Диспозиции зубов в подавляющем большинстве случаев связаны с укорочением и сужением зубных рядов. Наиболее распространенными аномалиями соотношения зубных рядов у пациентов детского возраста являются дистальный (42,29 %) и глубокий прикус (24,67 %).
Заключение. Высокая распространенность зубочелюстных аномалий и деформаций у населения Брестской области в возрасте от 6 до 17 лет обусловливает необходимость совершенствования комплексной программы стоматологической ортодонтической помощи.
