Does better accessibility help to reduce social exclusion? Evidence from the City of São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Luz Gregorio , Barboza Matheus Henrique Cunha , da Silva Portugal Licinio , Giannotti Mariana , van Wee Bert
Published: February 2022

Most of the transport equity and TRSE studies assume that increasing accessibility levels lead to increased activity participation and, therefore, a reduction in social exclusion. Although this assumption makes sense from a theoretical point of view, this causal relationship has not yet been validated in practice. Previous studies investigating the accessibility-participation relationship were inconclusive, indicating that increasing accessibility has a limited impact on activity participation levels, if any. Moreover, the existing empirical evidence in the literature in the Global South context is scarce, is merely correlational and fails to infer causality between both variables. The contributions of the paper are threefold. First, (a) to provide a conceptual model of the causal relationship between accessibility, activity participation and risk of transport-related social exclusion (TRSE); second, (b) to summarise the available empirical evidence about the accessibility-activity participation relationship through a systematic literature review; and third, (c) to provide evidence of the causal relationship between accessibility and activity participation levels in a Global South context. Three Poisson regression models associated with an instrumental variable identification strategy were used to assess the causal effect between accessibility and participation in total, mandatory and discretionary activities in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The three models showed a highly significant, strong correlation between an individuals’ accessibility level and their actual participation in total, mandatory and discretionary activities. Based on our results, we argue that low accessibility levels may severely restrict individuals’ life chances and add evidence that accessibility has to be an important instrument to support transport policies' decision-making.
Determinants of under- and over- nutrition among reproductive-age women in Bangladesh: trend analysis using spatial modelling
Authors: Vatsa Richa , Ghimire Umesh , Yasmin Khaleda , Hasan Farhana Jesmine
Published: February 2022

Bangladesh is facing a double burden of malnutrition which varies spatially and is shifting rapidly over time. The current study aims to analyze the spatial and temporal dependence of under-and over-weight/obesity among Bangladeshi reproductive-age women. The nationally representative cross-sectional data from the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys 2014 and 2017-18 were utilized to study the change in under- and over-weight among 15-49 years women. Bayesian geoadditive regression model was fitted to account for non-linear and linear effects of continuous and categorical covariates and accounted for spatial effects of geographical divisions. The prevalence of overweight/obese in rural, city corporation and other urban areas has increased significantly over the four-year period from 2014 to 2017-18. Women of the richer and richest categories were more likely to be overweight/obese. Women from Sylhet were more likely to be underweight in both years 2014 and 2017-18, however, the result was also significant for underweight in Mymensingh for the year 2017-18. Women in the Rajshahi and Khulna were more likely to be overweight/obese in 2014. Along with Khulna, women from Barishal and Chittagong were likely to be overweight/obese in the year 2017/18. Underweight and overweight are uneven across the country, with highly urbanized areas overburdened by overweight/obesity. Intervention targeting vulnerable age groups should be a high priority to deal with the increasing burden of obesity.
Science Teachers’ Technical Difficulties in Using Physical Computing and the Internet of Things into School Science Inquiry
Authors: Ga Seok-Hyun , Park Changmi , Cha Hyun-Jung , Kim Chan-Jong
Published: February 2022

Data collection is an essential process of securing evidence to support students’ arguments in conducting a scientific inquiry of problems students are interested in. However, as schools are not affordable to be equipped with various measurement instruments, students are only offered limited options, leading to possible limitations in choosing their inquiry topics. Arduino can be suggested as a solution for the issue of deficiencies in measurement devices at school. Through Arduino, students can make various measurement devices by connecting various sensors to Arduino, customize devices to suit their inquiries, and implement remote sensing using the Internet of Things. However, great technologies do not necessarily guarantee any of their potential to be utilized as great tools for science classes at school. Due to technical difficulties, teachers and students have shunned many promising technologies, failing to assimilate great technologies into school curricula. This study examined three different cases of adopting Arduino by three teachers from educational institutions: a gifted education center, autonomous club activity in middle school, and a local community center. We found four major difficulties; (1) Selection of proper technologies; (2) credibility issues with information from the Internet; (3) technical complexity due to the intervention of multiple variables; and (4) compliance issues with related acts and regulations.

De una pedagogía de la clausura a una pedagogía de las posibilidades. Aprender y enseñar la agencia.
Authors: Giroux Henry , Rivera-Vargas Pablo , Neut Pablo
Published: February 2022

El objetivo del presente capítulo es analizar el potencial tránsito desde una pedagogía de la clausura a una pedagogía de las posibilidades en los sistemas educativos y sociales del presente. Con el foco en la Educación Superior, el presente trabajo esta dividido en tres apartados. En el primero se analiza cómo el orden educativo neoliberal ha estructurado una pedagogía hegemónica de carácter clausurativa, es decir, que tiene como función principal naturalizar los principios sobre los que se soporta dicho orden e impedir la imaginación de un proyecto educativo y social distinto al existente. Tras este diagnóstico, se propone avanzar en la construcción de una narrativa político-pedagógica que permita enfrentar, interrumpir y transformar la clausura que intenta el discurso educativo dominante. Para ello, en el segundo apartado, se proponen dos dimensiones que permitirían, en las antípodas del modelo hegemónico, erigir una pedagogía de la posibilidad. Es decir, un tipo de educación que habilite la posibilidad de pensar y construir trayectorias biográficas y estructuras sociales distintas a las naturalizadas por el mandato neoliberal. Este desafío implica resituar la agencia de los actores sociales, entendidos como sujetos soberanos y públicos capaces de construir y decidir colectivamente entre diversos futuros posibles. Finalmente, en el tercer apartado, ponemos el foco en la universidad, y como una pedagogía de la posibilidad puede transformar a esta institución en un espacio de deliberación cívica, en tanto bien social y derecho público.

Published: February 2022

Adolescents and young adults account for over 21% of new HIV infections in the U.S. with the majority of new cases among young men. As social media is an important information source integral to the lives of youth, our study illuminated the discourse around HIV among this group by examining the most retweeted and favorited tweets (n = 472) among 24,600 HIV-related tweets from young male Twitter users (ages 13-24) in the U.S. From content analysis, three themes arose: 1) othering, 2) politics and activism, 3) risk and wellness. Othering tweets involved alienating LGBTQIA+ individuals and people with HIV through stigmatizing jokes and insults. Politics and activism tweets discussed awareness, stigma, HIV criminalization, violence, LGBTQIA+ and women’s rights. Risk and wellness tweets discussed risk behaviors for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (e.g., condomless sex, transactional sex, multiple sexual partners), or safer sex and preventive practices (e.g., PrEP, condom use, achieving undetectable viral load, medication adherence, STI testing). The themes illustrated the double-edged nature of social media, with both harmful and health-promoting messages. Twitter and other social media provide novel tools to inform and disseminate health communication. Future HIV prevention interventions should counter the stigma, misinformation, and risk-promoting messages prevalent on Twitter.
Variation in Parental Time: Does Parents’ Immigration Status Matter?
Authors: Cao Xinyan
Published: February 2022

Children of immigrants have been outperforming native-born children in academic achievements. Immigrant parenting styles have been the center of discussion around immigrant children’s academic outperformance. One factor, parental time, has been less studied than other components of immigrant parenting styles, yet immigrant parents with different legal status and duration of residence can spend substantially different time on child education. The current study helps to expand prior research of immigrant parenting by focusing on parental time and its variation by parents’ immigration status. The study draws a sample of 77,337 observations from American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to compare the parental time of naturalized, nonnaturalized, and native- born parents. Only naturalized parents invest more time in education-related primary childcare than native-born parents. By contrast, nonnaturalized parents spend more time on cultural enrichment activities while caring for at least one child under 13, compared to native-born parents. From May to December 2020, both groups of immigrant parents have experienced more substantial increases in educational parental time than native-born parents. Results indicate the importance of childcare-related social supports for nonnaturalized parents.
Parent Centered Planning: Facilitator’s Manual
Authors: Lightfoot Elizabeth , Dezelar Sharyn , Suleiman Johara
Published: February 2022

The Parent Centered Planning model was inspired by the person-centered planning model, which has been ubiquitous in the field of disability advocacy and supports for nearly forty years. In our development of Parent Centered Planning, we found that most parents participating in Parent Centered Planning had positive short-term outcomes, such as strengthening their supportive relationships, clarifying their parenting goals, and making progress towards their self-identified goals. This brief intervention is appropriate for use with any parent with a disability, including new parents, parents with a new disability, any parent that wants to help plan for their family, or parents involved in the child welfare system. We hope that this promising practice for supporting parents with disabilities can be incorporated into a broader array of supports for parents with disabilities. This manual provides a step by step overview of the Parent Centered Planning model.

Determinants of legislative committee membership in proportional representation systems
Authors: Riera Pedro , Cantu Francisco
Published: February 2022

This article explores the determinants of the allocation of parliamentary posts to specific legislators. Using an original data set of biographical information and committee assignments for almost 10,000 legislators in five non-presidential democracies (i.e. Finland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, and Spain), we provide evidence that distributive posts are more likely to be allocated to electorally vulnerable members of parliament, mainly under candidate-centered electoral rules. We also show that posts in high-policy committees are usually assigned to prominent legislators within the parties. Contrary to what one could expect based on the literature on candidates’ incentives to cultivate a personal vote, we find that the effect of district magnitude on the distribution of legislative posts does not depend on the type of list.

“They Need to be Managed:” Hunters’ and Ranchers’ Narratives of Increased Tolerance of Wolves After a Decade of Wolf Hunting
Authors: Richardson Jill Eileen
Published: February 2022

How do hunters and livestock producers who report increased tolerance for wolves account for the changes in their attitudes, and how can their perspectives inform researchers’ understanding of human conflicts about wolves? I explore this by analyzing interviews with people who live, work, and recreate in the Blackfoot watershed, Montana. All interviewees who reported increased tolerance over time were hunters and ranchers with good relationships with government wildlife officials and close ties to a collaborative non-profit, Blackfoot Challenge. All who reported increased tolerance attributed their tolerance to the legalization of wolf hunting (sometimes in addition to other factors). Several expressed anger at environmental and animal rights groups who used lawsuits to keep hunting illegal for longer in the state. My data suggests that intolerance for wolves may stem from an injustice frame, a belief that humans bear some blame for causing harm.
Geographically uneven structural change in EU15 regions from 1980 to 2017: a cluster analysis
Authors: Velthuis Sanne , Royer Jeroen , Le Petit-Guerin Mehdi , Cauchi-Duval Nicolas , Franklin Rachel S. , Leibert Tim , MacKinnon Danny , Pike Andy
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a cluster analysis of structural economic change within NUTS3 regions in the EU15. Based on regional changes in the employment shares of broad sectors since 1980, as well as the degree of initial and current specialisation in each sector, regions are allocated to one of eight clusters via a k-means clustering approach. These clusters are then interpreted in light of current debates about ‘left behind places’. We find that there are several clusters of regions that have experienced less favourable structural change over the past four decades, each with their own set of characteristics.

Study the Influence of Captopril on Bone Metabolism in Elderly Hypertensive Women
Authors: A. Mousa Zahraa , N. Al-Shawi Nada , A. Omar Ahmed
Published: February 2022

Widespread use of antihypertensive agents in clinical practice necessitates the knowledge of their pleiotropic effects. At the present time there are no sufficient evidences of positive effect of these medications on bone coming from randomized controlled trials; knowledge of additional effects of those drugs on the bone metabolism will allow doctors to choose optimal treatment of hypertension, taking into account the state of bone tissue. At the same time it will also allow to prevent osteoporosis in patients having osteoporosis risk factors or initial signs of bone loss.

Ten elderly hypertensive women age > 60 years old (64.2±3.6) treated with captopril for a 5-6 years ago while they attending Al Yarmouk Teaching Hospital in Baghdad; in addition, newly-diagnosed hypertensives, and normotensive of the aged-matched women were participated in this study that were conducted during the period (January- May 2014). Measurement of serum calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, total alkaline phosphatase activity, and parathyroid hormone were done, in addition to spine mineral density and t-score of such bone density by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. The results of this study showed that there were no significant differences in the serum levels of calcium, magnesium, inorganic phosphorus, total alkaline phosphatase activity, and parathyroid hormone in postmenopausal hypertensive women treated for 5-6 years with captopril compared to newly-diagnosed and to aged-matched normotensive women. In addition, non-significant differences were observed in the level of bone mineral density and t score of bone mineral density in all groups of the study. In conclusion, the present study provides additional knowledge concerning the influence of captopril treatment on some selected parameters of bone metabolism in elderly hypertensive women.

This article empirically examined how Kosovan SMEs finance their working capital and their investments through their growth life cycle. Using the financial growth cycle paradigm to test the financial growth cycle based on a sample of 100 Kosovan SMEs’ reporting data since their incep­tion of business. Findings show that Kosovan SMEs use various sources to finance their working capital and investments throughout their life cycle. To finance their working capital needs, during the first two years of operation, Kosovan SMEs rely more on insider capital sources such as personal savings, financing offered from 3F connection - friends, family, fools, retained earn­ings, and also trade credit takes a significant place. Over time, as businesses evolve through age, the proportion of retained earnings and business debt financing in total capital injection volume increases significantly. As firms grow older, financing from trade credit marks a decline, so the SMEs replace it with using more overdraft. During the first years of operation, to finance their investments, Kosovan SMEs rely primarily on owner’s personal savings, financing from 3F connection - friends, family, and fools, retained earnings, but as the company grows older and becomes more extensive, they rely mainly on two sources: retained earnings and bank loans. In general, con­cerning debt, Kosovan SMEs use more trade credit and overdraft to finance their working capital and bank loans to finance their investments. Funding from 3F is mainly used during the initial phase of operation. However, the most used resource by Kosovan SMEs in all stages of operation remains re­tained earnings, while external equity raised from angels and venture capi­talists and other alternative financing are almost inexistent.

Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study was to determine the phenomenology of the use of plain black caps by the Bengkulu people. This research method uses qualitative research with an interpretive tradition. The results showed that the choice of motif for wearing a plain black cap explains the influence of culture/trend and comfort as a motive for wearing a cap by the wearer, and is also a form of communication as a symbol of existence. The conclusion of the study is that the motif of wearing plain black caps has become a cultural trend of the general public. The conclusion of this study is that the motive for use provides an explanation that culture, history, beauty and comfort can defeat the presence of new creations in the same product, such as the existence of plain black caps in Bengkulu.

An Elderly COVID-19 Pneumonia with Stroke, and QTc Prolongation, Fragmentation of the QRS-complex, and Connected Aircraft Squadron Electrocardiographic Sign (Yasser’s sign); Multiple Risk and Serious Implications
Authors: Hassanain Elsayed Yasser Mohammed
Published: February 2022

Rationale: COVID-19 infection is a wide-world pandemic serious highly infectious multisystem disease. Neurological, cardiovascular, hepatic, and renal systems are commonly involved. Connected aircraft squadron electrocardiographic sign (Yasser’s sign) is a novel electrocardiographic sign which a relevant to T-wave changes and respiratory rate. This sign is a strong guide for tachypnea. QTc-interval prolongation is a serious signal for torsades de pointes, fatal ventricular tachyarrhythmias, and sudden death. Previously, fragmentation of the QRS-complex had already been considered a marker for structural heart diseases (SHD) triggering cardiac hypertrophy. Patient concerns: An 88-year-old, carpenter, smoker, married Egyptian male patient was admitted to the critical care unit with cerebrovascular stroke, cardiac involvement, and COVID-19 pneumonia. Diagnosis: COVID-19 pneumonia with acute neurological events and cardiovascular involvement. Interventions: Electrocardiography, oxygenation, non-contrasted chest CT, and brain CT. Outcomes: Good response and better outcomes despite the presence of several remarkable risk factors were the results. Lessons: The clinical and electrocardiographic response after using anti-COVID19 measures the signifying its role and suggest the diagnosis of COVID19 infection. The presence of COVID-19 pneumonia, stroke, QTc-interval prolongation, fragmentation of the QRS-complex, hypocalcemia, Connected aircraft squadron electrocardiographic sign (Yasser’s sign) with severe fatigue, elderly, and cigarette smoking are prognostic factors for the severity of the disease.

The severity of acute pancreatitis can be determined by history, physical examination, laboratory markers, and radiological examinations. Among these parameters CRP, Ranson, Glasgow are simple and cost-effective test, which is useful in clinical practice. APACHE II score, Balthazar score, BISAP score and cytokines are the best parameters to determine the severity and disease outcomes.
Barriers to Tracheostomy Weaning: A Case Report of Sialorrhea in a Patient with Persistent Seizure Activity and Head Injury
Authors: Amanda J Thomas , Z Hussain , B Adshead
Published: February 2022

We describe a single case following the acute hospital journey of a 54 year old admitted due to seizure activity and associated traumatic brain injury. The patient was cared for in a specialist neurosurgical centre. The hospital stay was complicated by difficulty managing seizure activity. The patient had several failed extubations due to high oral secretion burden, resulting in a percutaneous tracheostomy. Prolonged tracheostomy weaning ensued due to the impact of seizure activity, pharmacological interventions to manage both seizure activity and secretion management (including the use of Botulinum Toxin to the salivary glands), and dysphagia. Successful decannulation of tracheostomy was achieved 141 days after insertion and was associated with a reduction in anti-epileptic drug administration.

Published: February 2022

Amniotic band sequence (ABS) results from in utero entrapment of fetal parts by fibrous bands, which leads to malformations that can affect multiple organ systems including the limbs, craniofacial regions and trunk, and central nervous system. These bands can adhere to anatomical structures of the fetus and cause vascular disruption which results in the amputation of the involved anatomic part. We present two cases of ABS both of which presented with craniofacial defects associated with ABS; one with apical encephalocel and extremity defects, the other one with schizencephaly with extremity defects and cleft lip & palate. ABS may represent itself not only with extremity defects but atypical forms in cranial vault. ABS must be kept in mind and sonography must be detailed when rare deformities like schizencephaly and extremity defects identified.

LUIZ GAMA: ANTOLOGIA
Authors: Stürmer Arthur Breno
Published: February 2022

Esta resenha apresenta a antologia de Luiz Gama, o advogado, jornalista e escritor abolicionista e republicano que ficou conhecido por emancipar mais de quinhentos escravos em plena monarquia. Os textos em prosa e verso retratam o defensor da justiça, liberdade, ética e dos princípios democráticos, em fins do século XIX. Editada pela Expressão Popular e organizado por Enid Frederico e Cláudia Campos – doutoras em Literatura Brasileira e em Letras, respectivamente –, a obra aborda temas atuais no cenário nacional, como o racismo, a segregação social e a exploração do trabalhador. Combinando humor e crítica, os textos contribuem para a reflexão no campo da literatura, economia, política e sociedade, especialmente quando enfatizam os interesses de classe, a distinção pela cor, as posturas autoritárias e o conservadorismo que ainda acompanham a sociedade brasileira.

Authors: Vicente Keides Bastista , Rocha Beatriz
Published: February 2022

Pretende-se apresentar considerações sobre o posicionamento dos ocupantes do MEC (Ministério da Educação) no pós 2018 e a instabilidade do cargo com a variação de nomes que ocuparam a pasta. E como tal instabilidade contribuiu para o avanço de uma proposta de reformas conservadoras para a Educação. Para realização da pesquisa foram utilizados reportagens na imprensa de circulação nacional, como revista Veja, Exame, jornais como El Pais, Uol e Globo. Para elaborar as discussões, fundamentou-se numa pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, baseado em autores, como Taffarel e Neves (2019), Rezera e D’Alexandre (2019), Araújo (2020). Em um primeiro momento apresentou-se a educação em descompasso com a instabilidade de representantes do Ministério da Eduação. Em um momento posterior apresentou-se as reformas conservadoras para a educação. Ao final será possível compreender algumas das nuances da educação no pós-2018.
A DUALIDADE FEMININA EM NOITE NA TAVERNA DE ÁLVARES DE AZEVEDO
Authors: Ferreira Juliana Almeida , Araújo Márcia Maria de Melo
Published: February 2022

Álvares de Azevedo, escritor da 2ª. geração do Romantismo, conhecida como a era dos poetas ultrarromânticos, aborda em suas obras um amor intenso acompanhado de um desejo impetuoso pela figura feminina. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como foco a representação da mulher em Noite na Taverna (1855) ora apresentada de forma angelical ora má, indicativo da dualidade feminina presente nessa narrativa. Nota-se uma remissão às mulheres medievais, em especial, das cantigas de amigo, cuja dualidade pode ser satisfatoriamente comparada à apresentada na novela de Azevedo. Para sustentar a pesquisa, o aporte teórico embasa-se em A educação pela noite e outros ensaios (1987) de Antonio Candido, assim como em História concisa da Literatura Brasileira de Alfredo Bosi (2004), em Mulher Medieval e trovadorismo galego-português – o feminino e a feminização nas cantigas de amigo de Araújo e Fonseca (2015), em Poesia brasileira e estilos de época de Alcmeno Bastos (2012), entre outros.
A COMÉDIA SÉRIA DE WOODY ALLEN: NOVA YORK COMO NEGAÇÃO DE LOS ANGELES/HOLLYWOOD EM ANNIE HALL (1977)
Authors: Ribeiro Roberta Do Carmo
Published: February 2022

Resumo: O presente artigo trabalha a evolução das representações de Nova York no cinema de Woody Allen, destacando o que chamo de Tetralogia de Nova York, uma série de longas-metragens que formam um conjunto coerente onde a cidade é usada como cenário para se discutir determinadas concepções de narrativa, visão de história e perspectiva de memória. O foco é o filme Annie Hall (1977), o primeiro que transforma a cidade em personagem. Em Annie Hall (1977), a cidade de Nova York é comparada a Los Angeles, estando Los Angeles num lugar de inferioridade: enquanto Nova York é uma cidade viva e real, Los Angeles seria uma cidade artificial e movida pela vaidade.

 Palavras-chave: Woody Allen. Cidade. Nova York. Los Angeles.
ESPAÇOS, LUGARES, TERRITÓRIOS: MULTIPLICIDADES FACE AO MAPA MENTAL E À DESIGNAÇÃO TOPONÍMICA
Authors: Siqueira Kenia Mara de Freitas
Published: February 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre o que caracteriza um mapa mental, tomado como rizoma que tem como algumas de suas entradas um topônimo. Para tanto, faz-se uma revisão de termos relacionados tais como: espaço, lugar, território, ou seja, termos cujo escopo semântico remete à noção de “lugar” pautado principalmente em Santaella (2007), Tuan (1983), Siqueira (2015), Deleuze; Gattari (2000). Vincula-se também aos pressupostos da linguística ecossistêmica no sentido de delinear as dimensões do mapa mental e das possibilidades de descrevê-lo nos agenciamentos que efetiva não operarem na dicotomia, mas na multiplicidade, posto que a linguagem faz rizoma com a cultura e os topônimos configuram esses rizomas não como decalque, mas como mapas inteiramente voltados para as experiências ancoradas no real.

Negotiating Transportation Insecurity: Local Responses and Coping Strategies in San José, CA
Authors:   San Jose State University, Ng Andrew , Beresford Melissa ,   San Jose State University
Published: February 2022

People rely on transportation every day to access food, work, and social activities. Transportation insecurity—the lack of regular access to adequate transportation—can therefore cause significant disruptions to livelihoods. Understanding how people experience transportation insecurity in metropolitan areas may contribute to building better transportation systems and help formulate ways to alleviate persistent and underlying transportation issues. In this study, the researchers interviewed San José residents who experience transportation insecurity to better understand their experiences and identify the major ways that they cope with lack of adequate transportation. The researchers then used inductive techniques for thematic text analysis to identify patterns major themes in people's experiences and coping strategies. Findings suggest that people experience transportation insecurity as excess time consumption through congested traffic, convoluted travel schedules, and service complications, which causes worry, anxiety, and missed opportunities due to wasting or losing personal time. Overall, people's experiences and reactions allude to what could be improved in San José’s transportation infrastructure.
A Gynocritical Study of The Color Purple by Alice Walker: A corpus-based Analysis of Adjectives
Authors: Zunaira Zafar  , Majeed Haleema , Zahra Tehseen
Published: February 2022

From the beginning of the scholarly work on the women, most of the research have been carried out by opposite gender. Therefore, there have been limited work done to see how a woman portrays another woman in her writings. Moreover, there have been limited research conducted utilizing corpus tools for the analysis of gynocriticism. Thus, the present research aims to examine The Color Purple by Alice Walker by employing the corpus-based approach to investigate the representation of female character by the author in the novel. The positive or negative portrayal of women by the author in the novel was investigated through author’s usage of adjectives. Showalter's (2009) Theory of Gynocriticsim was used as a theoretical framework for the current research. Further, corpus-based methodology was employed to analyze how Alice Walker has portrayed the female character in her novel through the use of adjectives. An in-depth analysis has shown that Alice Walker has depicted woman as a helpless and sidelined being who can be turned as a resilient after suffering from frightful circumstances. The current research also opens new gates for the researchers to analyze the text from Gynocriticial perspective along with corpus techniques.
