Authors: Antoniou Evangelia , Orovou Eirini , Papatrechas Alexandros , Arampatzi Christiana , Eskitzis Panagiotis
Published: December 2022

A delivery by cesarean can be a cause of development of mental illness, especially posttraumatic stress disorder or the profile of the disorder for a percentage of women. Despite the global increase in cesarean deliveries, there is a paucity of adequate research into posttraumatic stress disorder after cesarean delivery and at many times is associated with other mental disorders of the postpartum period. The purpose of this research is to identify if there is a link between the type of cesarean delivery and posttraumatic stress disorder among postpartum women. Our sample consisted of 162 women who underwent a cesarean section in a public University Hospital in Greece and consented to participate in the study. The results show a high prevalence of postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (31.7%) and profile postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (14.3%) in women after emergency cesarean delivery with additional risk factors of preterm delivery, inclusion in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, lack of support from the partner, and lack of breastfeeding.
Indigenous Farming Knowledge as a Tool for Addressing Global Warming: A Case Study of the Bedouin in the Negev Arid Highlands – Water Catchments Construction
Authors: Mor-Mussery Amir
Published: December 2022

In the previous century, the Bedouins a nomadic people who migrated all over the Arab peninsula with their herds began to settle in villages, one of their settlement areas is the Negev highlands. While the younger generation searches for similar occupations as the surrounding urbanized Israelis, the adult ones in many cases sustain their traditional farming practices. In many cases these practices are not profitable and not sustainable, nevertheless, these practices are based on long-term experience in arid terms. Until recently the municipalities did not invest money and efforts to collect this knowledge and render it a sustainable and profitable one. A mission that became crucial not only due to the adults aging and the risk that this knowledge will be lost but due to the rapid transition of un-arid regions into arid or desertified ones worldwide that requires suitable farming practices. Hereby the scheme of acquiring this knowledge from the Bedouin farmers, designing sustainable and profitable solutions, managing the cultivated lands, and analyzing with them the outcome will be described together with samples from the Negev highlands. This chapter will focus on water catchment construction, which became a crucial requirement for sustainable agriculture due to the increased intensity of the rainfall event worldwide.
Perspective Chapter: A Conceptualization of Measuring People’s Activity in Sustaining Urban Life
Authors: Jasim Essa Al-Saaidy Haider
Published: December 2022

The criterion of human activity could be one of the critical points in dealing with street life mainly and urban vitality frequently. An attempt to classify the distinct patterns of activities is recently required. The potentiality of a street is to formulate people’s interaction and responses to the street edges and reactions to each other. This chapter highlights the more significant outline regarding human activities and their patterns, besides their classifications. In this regard, the chapter aims to create a conceptual framework to form a platform for analyzing and studying the effectiveness of street life at the micro level. In this chapter, a research type is a descriptive-analytical approach; regarding the method, it employs a broad spectrum of related literature reviews. Consequently, the street edge generates the three main (and their oppositional) human activities. These activities can be categorized as necessary versus optional, individual against social, and staying as opposed to moving. Increasing the calls toward the sustainability of urban livability and street life versus decreasing the motor-based street has become a more significant demand. The street is a vital milieu that offers different opportunities for those who present and use such urban space as the street.

Published: December 2022

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ethanol and ultrasound as pretreatment to improve the convective drying of the BRS Vitória grape. The drying kinetics, rehydration, quality parameters, and phenolic compounds were evaluated. Before drying, grapes cv. BRS Vitória was ultrasound treated using two separate means, with ethanol (99.5% v/v) and distilled water. After pretreatment, the grapes were dried at 60°C and 0.1 m/s. The Logarithmic model provided a better prediction to describe the drying of grapes. Peleg’s model showed satisfactory adjustments to predict rehydration. Compared to the Control, pretreatment using the combination of ultrasound and ethanol decreased the drying time of the grapes by 61%. The pretreatments did not influence in quality parameters. In contrast, phenolic retention was observed in samples with ethanol. These results open new perspectives on the drying process and product quality by combining ethanol and ultrasound.

Forensic DNA Phenotyping

Published: December 2022

The basis for DNA analysis used in forensic research is the concept that everyone, excluding monozygotic twins, shares a genetic makeup. By directly comparing the genetic profile of short tandem repeats obtained from biological samples of unknown origin to a reference sample profile, DNA collected from biological samples can individually identify this material. The requirement for a reference sample for comparison is one of the main drawbacks of this method. Studies looking at the connection between specific polymorphisms and specific phenotypic traits are multiplying, and the results are encouraging for forensic sciences. Externally visible characteristics (EVCs), such as skin color, eye color, hair color, height, facial features, and male baldness pattern, can be inferred from biological samples for forensic purposes. This technique is called “forensic DNA phenotyping” (FDP). Therefore, without the necessity for a reference sample for comparative analysis, FDP offers additional information about the subject to which a specific biological sample belongs. So that this new technology does not encourage segregation or ethnic persecution of certain population groups, several ethical and legal considerations need to be made. Despite this, using these techniques to guide investigations and identify both suspects and victims has helped in a number of actual incidents.
Aspekte van vernuwing in die Afrikaanse leksikografie: Standaard- en pedagogiese woordeboeke as barometer

Published: December 2022

Innovative Aspects of Afrikaans Lexicography: Standard and Pedagogical Dictionaries as Barometer. The aim of this contribution is to offer an overview of the areas of most significant innovation in the Afrikaans lexicography over the past two decades, with specific reference to standard and pedagogical dictionaries, since they represent the typological categories in which most development is visible. However, reference will also be made to other dictionary types and contexts where relevant. Firstly, the current state of affairs with regard to the Afrikaans lexicography will be outlined in terms of existing lexicographic products. Secondly, some comments will be offered on the professionalisation of Afrikaans lexicography — a topic which has not really been dealt with in metalexicographical research. The roles of the Bureau of the Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal and commercial dictionary publishers will also be highlighted. Thereafter, secondary and specific lexicographic processes will be discussed, with reference to corpus lexicography and lemma selection, macrostructural innovation, and microstructural innovation. The discussion of the latter will include integrated microstructures in bilingual dictionaries, lexicographic definitions in monolingual dictionaries, cotext entries, and aspects of grammatical data. The state of affairs and future of the Afrikaans e-lexicography will also be addressed. Finally, some comments on special dictionaries will be offered. Keywords: commercial lexicography, corpus lexicography, e-lexicography, explanatory dictionary, lexicographic definition, macrostructure, microstructure, pedagogical lexicography, school dictionary, translation dictionary
Innoverende toegangsroetes in selfoonwoordeboeke

Innovative Access Structures in Mobile Dictionaries. The access structure of any dictionary is an important one. It provides the user with a means to obtain the required data or to extract valuable information. This dictionary structure mostly overlaps with other structures such as the macro-, micro- and mediostructure, which in turn creates different access routes a dictionary user can follow to try and satisfy his or her lexicographic needs. In printed dictionaries, the access structure can already be found on the cover, while in electronic or online dictionaries this structure is usually visible on the home or landing page (Du Plessis 2015: 51-52). Gouws and Prinsloo (2005: 64) differentiate between two types of access structures: the outer access structure, which relates to the access or search routes that lead a user to the lemma sign, and the inner access structure, which, among other things, involves the search routes and zones within a dictionary article. The traditional functions and uses of dictionary structures are adapted for the online and mobile medium in order to better satisfy user needs. The disadvantage of this, however, is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between different dictionary structures (Müller-Spitzer 2013: 368-369). Fortunately, e-dictionaries have the freedom to provide new and innovative ways for users to access lexicographic material. The goal of this article is to highlight and evaluate some of these innovative access routes, particularly in mobile dictionaries. This is done to determine which access routes deserve further investigation or should be considered as a standard practice in mobile and other e-dictionaries. Keywords: access routes, access structure, cellphone dictionaries, dictionary structures, electronic dictionaries, e-lexicography, inner access structure, mobile applications, mobile dictionaries, mobile lexicography, outer access structure, search routes, smart phones
Ruimtelike en temporele leksikografiese deiktiese verankering
Authors: Gouws Rufus H.
Published: December 2022

Spatial and Temporal Lexicographic Deictic Anchoring. In this contribution attention is given to deixis as it is known in the field of semantics. The transfer of deixis to lexicography is discussed and the concept of lexicographic deictic anchoring is brought to the fore. It is shown how this anchoring can be executed in different ways. Lexicographers need to decide how to employ this procedure in a specific dictionary. Different types of text segments can be used to enable deictic anchoring. These segments that include items, item symbols and item parts are briefly discussed. The main focus of this article is on spatial and temporal lexicographic deictic anchoring. Different deictic markers and anchoring procedures are discussed. In this regard it is shown that dictionaries do not only employ single items but also item complexes and that these item complexes can have a uniform or a hybrid format. It is suggested that successful deictic anchoring often demands that dictionaries should complement a primary anchoring procedure with secondary anchoring procedures. Deictic anchoring is discussed as a multi-phased process. The discussion is illustrated by real examples from dictionaries. Following the discussion suggestions are made for improved procedures of lexicographic deictic anchoring. Keywords: deictic anchoring, hybrid item complex, internally-expanded item, item symbol, lexicographic deictic centre, lexicographic deixis, lexicographic labels, neologisms, primary deictic item, rudimentary deictic anchoring, secondary deictic item

Gloydius is a widespread pitviper group occurring from Eastern Europe to Korea and Siberia, with only one known species, G. himalayanus (Günther, 1864), found south of the Himalayas. We provide combined genetic and morphological data for G. himalayanus from specimens collected from Himachal Pradesh, India. Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic analysis were performed on four concatenated mitochondrial genes, along with a multi-locus coalescent analysis of these and five additional nuclear genes. Our results indicate that G. himalayanus from the Chamba Valley, in western Himachal Pradesh, are highly distinct from the remaining studied populations. Haplotype networks of each nuclear locus showed that G. himalayanus contains high haplotype diversity with low haplotype sharing between the Chamba Valley population and populations from further west. Principal component analysis and canonical variate analysis conducted on morphological data of live and museum specimens also highlight the morphological distinctiveness of the Chamba population and we herein describe this population as a new species, Gloydius chambensis sp. nov. Recent descriptions of other new species of snakes from this valley underscores its isolation and suggests that further herpetological investigation of the highly dissected landscapes of the western Himalayas is needed to assess the true diversity of the region.

Published: December 2022

Background: We aimed to determine the serum spexin level in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) admitted to the emergency department. Methods: A total of 100 patients with AMI (50 with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 50 with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)) and 50 control group patients with non-cardiac chest pain were included in the study. A detailed anamnesis was taken, a physical examination was performed, and 12-lead electrocardiograms and venous blood samples were taken at the time of admission. Spexin levels were measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Serum spexin levels were significantly lower in the AMI group than in the non-cardiac chest pain group (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in serum spexin levels between STEMI and NSTEMI patients (p=0.83). In receiver operating curve analysis, we detected 58% sensitivity, 76% specificity, 82.9% positive predictive value, and 47.5% negative predictive value with an optimal cutoff value of 532 pg/mL for the diagnosis of AMI. Conclusions: In this study, serum spexin levels were significantly lower in AMI patients compared to patients with non-cardiac chest pain. The decrease in spexin levels suggests that it has the potential to be used as a diagnostic marker in AMI patients.
Teatro e memória urbana: a cidade do Rio de Janeiro como mutação de mágica

Published: December 2022

A ocupação e a apropriação do espaço urbano, no campo artístico e estético, se configuram de maneira plural e multifacetada, comprovando, cada vez mais, a potência do espaço como um campo aberto à experimentação. Para ampliar esse diálogo, este artigo visa refletir sobre algumas questões que subjazem a essas iniciativas que se utilizam do patrimônio em suas múltiplas dimensões - tanto material como imaterial, e as inter-relações com os fazeres e saberes da cultura popular e cidade. Como práticas, foram analisados os trabalhos realizados em dois contextos distintos, porém, com características semelhantes no que se refere às relações entre arte, cidade e patrimônio: o Coletivo Cantareira, que é um movimento comunitário empenhado em dar continuidade a algumas tradições e singularidades da Ilha de Paquetá, RJ, e o Grupo de Teatro São Gonçalo do Bação, constituído por moradores do distrito rural de São Gonçalo do Bação, na cidade de Itabirito-MG, que, devido as suas dinâmicas artístico-culturais, constitui-se como um grupo de Teatro e Comunidade.

As experiências aqui enfocadas compreendem, além da montagem de Cidade Proibida, da Cia Rústica de Porto Alegre, um campo mais difuso de experiências e fazeres, que identificamos como “cabarés do sul mundo”. A intenção deste trabalho é reconhecer e destacar saberes e práticas de pequenas produções no contexto das Artes Cênicas do sul do mundo, que com frequência se estruturam em construções compartilhadas, as quais subvertem a precariedade imposta pelo neoliberalismo vigente e inventam outros espaços-tempos em suas frestas. São os fazeres coletivos, corpóreos e festivos, que colapsam binarismos e podem inspirar imaginários e narrativas que anunciem futuros renovados.
A ocupação do Armazém da Utopia na área portuária do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Lima Evelyn Furquim Werneck
Published: December 2022

O desafio para os grupos teatrais preocupados com o teatro socialmente engajado é reduzir os impasses do capitalismo por meio de atividades de artes cênicas em espaços alternativos para garantir o exercício da cidadania. A apropriação dos armazéns do patrimônio industrial não originalmente destinados ao teatro abriu novas possibilidades para as artes cênicas no Rio de Janeiro, além de trabalhar em diferentes escalas e produzir arquiteturas dramáticas. O entrevistado é o diretor teatral Luiz Fernando Lobo da Ensaio Aberto e comprova que a ocupação desse galpão centenário e desativado por um grupo teatral com longa trajetória na cena carioca é um ato de resistência. Lobo atribuiu ao prédio ocupado uma função social, significando um território de luta em um bairro histórico da periferia do Centro do Rio, como alternativa à lógica do city-marketing e do mercado imobiliário.
Encoding Memory through Multimodality in Modern-Day Memorial Museums
Authors: Ghazaryan Grigor , Donatelle Steven
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the use of technology in memorial museums, particularly in those related to genocide.

The authors use a multidisciplinary theoretical framework using a diverse toolkit from Semiotics, Communication Studies, and Philosophy to explain the benefits and dangers of implementing technology in a memorial museum. The framework makes particular use of Peirce’s idea of unlimited semiosis, Eco’s considerations about the multiplicity of meanings and the “open text”, the existence of not one but two narratives in museums—especially in memorial museums—and Heidegger’s writings on technology especially enframing and revealing which are invoked in order to explain the  interplay between technology and memory. 

Being based in Yerevan, Armenia, the authors formulate their ideas with the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute (AGMI) in mind. This results in practical recommendations of how technology could be implemented in modern-day memorial museums, and identifies the benefits and dangers that must be kept in mind when doing so.

The specific subject matter of the AGMI plays a part in how this discourse evolves and the framework is assembled through an exploration of the term genocide, the historical events and artifacts that are presented in the museum and the current setup of the museum.

This study investigates how the students perceive the use of Telegram on their reading comprehension. For this purpose, 104 students in an Indonesian vocational school who are from various majors are selected to fulfil an online questionnaire about Telegram acceptance for learning English. Then, its result is compared to the score of students’ reading comprehension. For its validity of reading comprehension achievement, this study employs construct validity of the reading text that the English teacher gives. Accordingly, this study reveals a weak correlation between how the students perceive the use of Telegram and the students’ reading comprehension. It is signified by the correlation between the two variables of interest .364 which is significant at the .000 level. It indicates that the student’s perception and the reading comprehension for this set of data are significant but in a weak relationship. This may be caused by the reading strategy, reading text that is not exactly valid and Telegram function which comprises merit and demerit.
Animal movement ecology in India: insights from 2011–2021 and prospective for the future

Published: December 2022

The field of animal movement ecology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few decades with the advent of sophisticated technology, advanced analytical tools, and multiple frameworks and paradigms to address key ecological problems. Unlike the longer history and faster growth of the field in North America, Europe, and Africa, movement ecology in Asia has only recently been gaining momentum. Here, we provide a review of the field from studies based in India over the last 11 years (2011–2021) curated from the database, Scopus, and search engine, Google Scholar. We identify current directions in the research objectives, taxa studied, tracking technology and the biogeographic regions in which animals were tracked, considering the years since the last systematic review of movement ecology research in the country. As an indication of the growing interest in this field, there has been a rapid increase in the number of publications over the last decade. Class Mammalia continues to dominate the taxa tracked, with tiger and leopard being the most common species studied across publications. Invertebrates and other small and medium-sized animals, as well as aquatic animals, in comparison, are understudied and remain among the important target taxa for tracking in future studies. As in the previous three decades, researchers have focussed on characterising home ranges and habitat use of animals. There is, however, a notable shift to examine the movement decision of animals in human-modified landscapes, although efforts to use movement ecology to understand impacts of climate change remain missing. Given the biogeographic and taxonomic diversity of India, and the fact that the interface between anthropogenic activity and wildlife interactions is increasing, we suggest ways in which the field of movement ecology can be expanded to facilitate ecological insights and conservation efforts. With the advancement of affordable technologies and the availability of analytical tools, the potential to expand the field of movement ecology, shift research foci, and gain new insights is now prime.

Published: December 2022

The study was conducted to determine the non-cognitive factors affecting the mathematics performance of Bachelor of Secondary Education students using Structural Equation Modeling as a basis for the formulation of a proposed Mathematics Learning Intervention Framework.  This study employed a descriptive-correlational method. 

A total of 266 pre-service teachers participated and answered the survey questionnaires through complete enumeration sampling.  The results revealed that self-efficacy, study strategies, teacher support, and involvement directly affect the mathematics performance of the BSED major in mathematics students.  In addition to this, the Mathematics Learning Intervention Framework was crafted highlighting self-efficacy, study strategies for math class, teacher support, and involvement factors to improve students' mathematics performance.
Strategic Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Production of Some Selected Crops: Evidence from 2021 Cropping Season in Katsina State, Nigeria
Authors: Abdullah Abba Yakubu , Rimi Tijjani Abu , Mohammed Mohammed Saidu
Published: December 2022

Aims: The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of climate change on crop production in the state in the year 2021.

Study Design: Cross-sectional survey design.

Place and Duration of Study: All the existing 34, Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Katsina State, and the research was conducted between October 2021 and March 2022.

Methodology: Data was gathered via questionnaires administered to farmers’, employing Village and Block Extension Agents’ as enumerators. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed. The first stage involved classifying the state into three ecological zones. The second stage comprises random selection of three villages from each 34 LGAs to give (102 villages). The third stage was accomplished, based on the lists of farmers (26,589) frame, obtained from Katsina State Agricultural and Rural Development Authority (KTARDA), twelve thousand (12,000) farmers were selected proportionately for the study, using systematic random sampling technique.

Results: The results indicated that male and youthful age dominate production respectively (78%) (54). large proportion (95%) fall within formal to post primary education and also, more than two-third (69) had no extension contact and highest  (35%) obtained income from #300,001- #450,000. The findings on impact of climate change on crop production showed that (648,300 hectares) cultivated land and 633,950 tons (63,400 bags) of crops were lost. The analysis further unveiled that among the three ecological zones of the state, Sahel Savannah had the most devastating effect of losses, at both cultivated land (292,200 hectares) and crop yield (267,100 tons). More so, the result portrayed that amongst the assorted crops produced in the area, millet, groundnut, cowpea, and sorghum were the major crops affected by climate change scourge.

Conclusion: Climate change is real and its manifestations are becoming alarming progressively, hence urgent steps need to be taken to avert the menace. It is recommended that farmers be educated on climate change aspects in respect to crop production and research station should develop more seeds adaptable to a given circumstances. Government should ensure accurate estimation of climate to facilitate other stake holders’ early preparation.
