Background

The Stroke Recovery in Motion Implementation Planner guides teams through the process of planning for the implementation of community-based exercise programs for people with stroke, in alignment with implementation science frameworks.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to conduct a field test with end users to describe how teams used the Planner in real-world conditions; describe the effects of Planner use on participants’ implementation-planning knowledge, attitudes, and activities; and identify factors influencing the use of the Planner.

Methods

This field test study used a longitudinal qualitative design. We recruited teams across Canada who intended to implement a community-based exercise program for people with stroke in the next 6 to 12 months and were willing to use the Planner to guide their work. We completed semistructured interviews at the time of enrollment, monitoring calls every 1 to 2 months, and at the end of the study to learn about implementation-planning work completed and Planner use. The interviews were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Completed Planner steps were plotted onto a timeline for comparison across teams.

Results

We enrolled 12 participants (program managers and coordinators, rehabilitation professionals, and fitness professionals) from 5 planning teams. The teams were enrolled in the study between 4 and 14 months, and we conducted 25 interviews. We observed that the teams worked through the planning process in diverse and nonlinear ways, adapted to their context. All teams provided examples of how using the Planner changed their implementation-planning knowledge (eg, knowing the steps), attitudes (eg, valuing community engagement), and activities (eg, hosting stakeholder meetings). We identified team, organizational, and broader contextual factors that hindered and facilitated uptake of the Planner. Participants shared valuable tips from the field to help future teams optimize use of the Planner.

Conclusions

The Stroke Recovery in Motion Implementation Planner is an adaptable resource that may be used in diverse settings to plan community-based exercise programs for people with stroke. These findings may be informative to others who are developing resources to build the capacity of those working in community-based settings to implement new programs and practices. Future work is needed to monitor the use and understand the effect of using the Planner on exercise program implementation and sustainability.

Authors: Stratton Elizabeth , Lampit Amit , Choi Isabella , Malmberg Gavelin Hanna , Aji Melissa , Taylor Jennifer , Calvo Rafael A , Harvey Samuel B , Glozier Nick
Published: July 2022

Background

Mental health conditions are considered the leading cause of disability, sickness absence, and long-term work incapacity. eHealth interventions provide employees with access to psychological assistance. There has been widespread implementation and provision of eHealth interventions in the workplace as an inexpensive and anonymous way of addressing common mental disorders.

Objective

This updated review aimed to synthesize the literature on the efficacy of eHealth interventions for anxiety, depression, and stress outcomes in employee samples in organizational settings and evaluate whether their effectiveness has improved over time.

Methods

Systematic searches of relevant articles published from 2004 to July 2020 of eHealth intervention trials (app- or web-based) focusing on the mental health of employees were conducted. The quality and bias of all studies were assessed. We extracted means and SDs from publications by comparing the differences in effect sizes (Hedge g) in standardized mental health outcomes. We meta-analyzed these data using a random-effects model.

Results

We identified a tripling of the body of evidence, with 75 trials available for meta-analysis from a combined sample of 14,747 articles. eHealth interventions showed small positive effects for anxiety (Hedges g=0.26, 95% CI 0.13-0.39; P<.001), depression (Hedges g=0.26, 95% CI 0.19-0.34; P<.001), and stress (Hedges g=0.25, 95% CI 0.17-0.34; P<.001) in employees’ after intervention, with similar effects seen at the medium-term follow-up. However, there was evidence of no increase in the effectiveness of these interventions over the past decade.

Conclusions

This review and meta-analysis confirmed that eHealth interventions have a small positive impact on reducing mental health symptoms in employees. Disappointingly, we found no evidence that, despite the advances in technology and the enormous resources in time, research, and finance devoted to this area for over a decade, better interventions are being produced. Hopefully, these small effect sizes do not represent optimum outcomes in organizational settings.

The Effectiveness of Supervised Machine Learning in Screening and Diagnosing Voice Disorders: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Al-Hussain Ghada , Shuweihdi Farag , Alali Haitham , Househ Mowafa , Abd-alrazaq Alaa
Published: July 2022

Background

When investigating voice disorders a series of processes are used when including voice screening and diagnosis. Both methods have limited standardized tests, which are affected by the clinician’s experience and subjective judgment. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used as an objective tool in screening or diagnosing voice disorders. However, the effectiveness of ML algorithms in assessing and diagnosing voice disorders has not received sufficient scholarly attention.

Objective

This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness of ML algorithms in screening and diagnosing voice disorders.

Methods

An electronic search was conducted in 5 databases. Studies that examined the performance (accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity) of any ML algorithm in detecting pathological voice samples were included. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted data from the included studies, and assessed the risk of bias. The methodological quality of each study was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 tool via RevMan 5 software (Cochrane Library). The characteristics of studies, population, and index tests were extracted, and meta-analyses were conducted to pool the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of ML techniques. The issue of heterogeneity was addressed by discussing possible sources and excluding studies when necessary.

Results

Of the 1409 records retrieved, 13 studies and 4079 participants were included in this review. A total of 13 ML techniques were used in the included studies, with the most common technique being least squares support vector machine. The pooled accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of ML techniques in screening voice disorders were 93%, 96%, and 93%, respectively. Least squares support vector machine had the highest accuracy (99%), while the K-nearest neighbor algorithm had the highest sensitivity (98%) and specificity (98%). Quadric discriminant analysis achieved the lowest accuracy (91%), sensitivity (89%), and specificity (89%).

Conclusions

ML showed promising findings in the screening of voice disorders. However, the findings were not conclusive in diagnosing voice disorders owing to the limited number of studies that used ML for diagnostic purposes; thus, more investigations are needed. While it might not be possible to use ML alone as a substitute for current diagnostic tools, it may be used as a decision support tool for clinicians to assess their patients, which could improve the management process for assessment.

A Virtual Reading Center Model Using Crowdsourcing to Grade Photographs for Trachoma: Validation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Brady Christopher J , Cockrell R Chase , Aldrich Lindsay R , Wolle Meraf A , West Sheila K
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

As trachoma is eliminated, skilled field graders become less adept at correctly identifying active disease (trachomatous inflammation—follicular [TF]). Deciding if trachoma has been eliminated from a district or if treatment strategies need to be continued or reinstated is of critical public health importance. Telemedicine solutions require both connectivity, which can be poor in the resource-limited regions of the world in which trachoma occurs, and accurate grading of the images.

OBJECTIVE

Our purpose was to develop and validate a cloud-based “virtual reading center” (VRC) model using crowdsourcing for image interpretation.

METHODS

The Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) platform was used to recruit lay graders to interpret 2299 gradable images from a prior field trial of a smartphone-based camera system. Each image received 7 grades for US $0.05 per grade in this VRC. The resultant data set was divided into training and test sets to internally validate the VRC. In the training set, crowdsourcing scores were summed, and the optimal raw score cutoff was chosen to optimize kappa agreement and the resulting prevalence of TF. The best method was then applied to the test set, and the sensitivity, specificity, kappa, and TF prevalence were calculated.

RESULTS

In this trial, over 16,000 grades were rendered in just over 60 minutes for US $1098 including AMT fees. After choosing an AMT raw score cut point to optimize kappa near the World Health Organization (WHO)–endorsed level of 0.7 (with a simulated 40% prevalence TF), crowdsourcing was 95% sensitive and 87% specific for TF in the training set with a kappa of 0.797. All 196 crowdsourced-positive images received a skilled overread to mimic a tiered reading center and specificity improved to 99%, while sensitivity remained above 78%. Kappa for the entire sample improved from 0.162 to 0.685 with overreads, and the skilled grader burden was reduced by over 80%. This tiered VRC model was then applied to the test set and produced a sensitivity of 99% and a specificity of 76% with a kappa of 0.775 in the entire set. The prevalence estimated by the VRC was 2.70% (95% CI 1.84%-3.80%) compared to the ground truth prevalence of 2.87% (95% CI 1.98%-4.01%).

CONCLUSIONS

A VRC model using crowdsourcing as a first pass with skilled grading of positive images was able to identify TF rapidly and accurately in a low prevalence setting. The findings from this study support further validation of a VRC and crowdsourcing for image grading and estimation of trachoma prevalence from field-acquired images, although further prospective field testing is required to determine if diagnostic characteristics are acceptable in real-world surveys with a low prevalence of the disease.
The Efficacy of a Diet Low in Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides, and Polyols in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Compared to Its “Real-world” Effectiveness: Protocol for a Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Jent Sandra , Bez Natalie Sara , Catalano Loan , Rogler Gerhard
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is associated with various gastrointestinal and nongastrointestinal symptoms and reduced quality of life. A diet low in fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) is one therapeutic option for IBS. Although the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet has been reported in several systematic reviews, the efficacy-effectiveness gap of the low FODMAP diet has not yet been assessed.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review aims to compare the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet from efficacy randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with the effectiveness of studies conducted in “real-world” settings.

METHODS

RCTs, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, and retrospective audits assessing the low FODMAP diet in adults with IBS will be searched in 4 databases: Embase, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment and assess selected quality aspects from the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) protocol. Outcomes assessed are stool frequency, stool consistency, abdominal pain, overall symptom scores, adequate symptom relief, IBS-specific quality of life, and diet adherence. Data will be summarized with forest plots without summary statistics, tables, and narrative descriptions.

RESULTS

The search, title and abstract screening, and full-text screening were completed in March 2021, and an updated search was done in May 2022. As of May 2023, data analysis is almost finished, and manuscript writing is in progress. Submission of the manuscript is expected by July 2023.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this systematic review will compare the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet for IBS found in RCTs to the diet’s real-world effectiveness.

OBJECTIVE

Internship programs are important components of teaching and learning that provide medical students with opportunities for real-life learning. The study aimed at evaluating the internship program for students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences (SSU) using the CIPP model.

METHODS

A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was performed on 305 students and 15 faculty members of SSU. Data were collected using a CIPP model questionnaire. The internship program was evaluated in four areas: input, context, process and product from the perspective of students and faculty members. The scores obtained for each domain were analyzed using SPSS v.21.

RESULTS

The perspective of students and faculty members in the areas of evaluation of the internship program indicated a significant discrepancy between students and faculty members in the area of context, process and product (p-value <0.001). No significant difference was observed in the area of input (p-value =0.32). Significant relationships were observed between context and input (r = 0.769, p <0.001), context and process (r = 0.733, p <0.001), and context and product (r = 0.724, p <0.001). In the correlation matrix, from the students' perspective, there was a positive and significant correlation between the domains. Between field and input (r = 0.769, p <0.001), field and process (r = 0.733, p <0.001), and field and product (r = 0.724, p <0.001) significant relationships were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

The design and implementation of evaluation programs based on the CIPP model may help improve internship programs and achieve students' professional competencies. The positive and negative findings in this study should be considered by decision makers and healthcare officials when designing and implementing internship programs. Further longitudinal studies may be required to confirm these findings.

Authors: Sunardi Sunardi , Indrawan I Gde Budi , Murti Ardian Baroto
Published: July 2022

The excavated slope of the diversion tunnel outlet at the Leuwikeris Dam was designed based on core test data and the Circular Failure Chart (CFC) method. Stability of the excavated slope under static and seismic loads has not been verified using a different method. The objective of this research was to evaluate performance of the excavated slope under static and seismic loads using the finite element method (FEM).  Stability analyses of the natural slope were also carried out to assess the improved stability of the slope after excavation. Geological mapping, examinations of drill cores and borehole logs, and laboratory tests were conducted to characterise the soils and rocks comprising the tunnel outlet slope. The rock masses were characterised using the Geological Strength Index (GSI) for the input parameters of the Generalised Hoek-Brown criterion. The slope stability analyses under static and seismic loads were performed using the finite element-based computer package RS2. The results show that the diversion tunnel construction site consists of residual soil and very poor to fair quality andesite breccia rock and tuff breccia with thin claystone intercalation. The groundwater table was located approximately 40 m below the ground surface. In general, the seismic load reduced stability of the slopes. The critical strength reduction factor (SRF) values of the natural portal slope, which had 40º inclination, were 3.6 and 1.45 under static and seimic loads, respectively. Meanwhile, the SRF values of the excavated slope, which had seven benches and 55 to 74º inclinations, were 3.83 and 1.78 under static and seismic loads, respectively. The natural and excavated slopes were considered stable under static and seismic loads and met the stability criteria specified by the National Standardization Agency (2017). The slope design increased the slope FS values by 6% and 20% under static and seismic loads, respectively.

Published: July 2022

Landslides from Mount Bawakaraeng caldera in 2004 has caused high dam sedimentation at the lower reaches of the Jeneberang River. The availability of this large sedimentary material makes this material need to be considered as an alternative to new materials in the geotechnical field. However, the results of laboratory tests applied to sedimentary materials show that the mechanical characteristics of these materials are not sufficient for construction materials. Therefore, it is very important to conduct a study on how to improve the quality of dredged soil by adding Trass as stabilizing agent to improve the quality of the mechanical properties of the dredged soil. This study aims to analyze the mechanical characteristics of the dredged soil stabilized with Trass. The research was conducted by adding Trass with composition 3%; 6%; 9% and 12%; respectively to the dry weight of the dredged soil. The curing time was applied for a period of 3, 7 and 14 days to analyze the significant binding of Trass to the stabilized dredged soil. Laboratory tests was conducted to the density test and unconfined compression test. The results showed that there was an increase in the maximum dry density of the dredged soil between 1.41% - 3.56% due to the addition of trass, and a decrease in the optimum water content between 0.8% - 2.7%. In addition, there was an increase in the value of free compressive strength from 47.76% to 388.89% in the trass stabilized dredged soil during the curing period of 3, 7 and 14 days. The use of dredged soil and trass as stabilizing agent can be an alternative option in soil improvement efforts based on the utilization of waste material and local content potential.
Dynamic Properties Comparison of 1D, 2D, and 3D Model for Concrete Box-Girder Bridge of 40-meter Span

Published: July 2022

Concrete box-girder structure is considered the thin-walled structure, undergoing deformation and forces, as well as having structural rigidity in three dimensional directions. However, it’s commonly modeled as 1D structure for the sake of design practicality, which influences the numerical result of its dynamic properties when compared to both real time SHMS and field test result. To see how far the difference of the dynamic properties between 1D, 2D, and 3D model of concrete box-girder structure, the concrete box-girder structure is modeled as 1D (frame), 2D (shell), and 3D (solid) element with MIDAS Civil 2019. Considering the allowable deflection and stress limited by design code, concrete box-girder structure is modeled and analyzed as linearly elastic material. The dynamic properties obtained from these 3 models were compared with those obtained from real time SHMS and field test. These results indicate that both natural frequency and period of 2D and 3D models are close to those of real time SHMS and field test. However, the natural frequency of 1D model is slightly larger than the real SHMS and field test, indicating that 1D model gives the slightly overestimate natural frequency and structural rigidity compared to the reality. Unlike 2D and 3D model, the structure is accounted to have the uniform sectional rigidity along transversal direction in 1D model. This is why 1D model seems to have higher structural rigidity compared to 2D and 3D model, which subsequently yields the higher natural frequency than 2D and 3D model. This research proves that the designers’ discretion is advised if 1D model is used for the sake of design practicality.

Published: July 2022

Despite several studies on the impact of human capital development on economic development and studies on the impact of population growth on economic development, only a few studies have directly linked the impact of population growth on human capital development. In view of this, this study analyzes the causal relationship between population growth and human capital development from the period of 1970-2020. The primary school enrolment rate was set as a proxy for human development capital and the population growth rate used to measure population growth. In carryout the study, the Augmented Dicker Fuller test, was used to test for stationarity. The two variables were stationary at levels. The granger causality test was then carried out and results revealed bi-directional causality in that population growth granger caused human capital development and vice versa. This is a preliminary study that hopes to spur up more studies in this direction with specific interest to Nigeria. The policy recommendation is for massive investment in human capital along Lucas postulation and UNESCO education policy for developing nations like Nigeria.

Reliability analysis of reinforced concrete slabs designed according to NBR 6118
Authors: Viegas Carlos Henrique Hernandorena , Real Mauro de Vasconcellos
Published: July 2022

NBR 6118 (2014) is the Brazilian standard that guides the design of reinforced concrete structures and adopts semi-probabilistic methods as a reference. These establish safety criteria that confront internal forces resulting from actions, increased by majoring coefficients, with the characteristic strengths of steel and concrete materials also reduced by minoring coefficients so that the former is equal to or less than the latter (Sd≤Rd ). However, unlike the Brazilian standard, the international standards determine the calibration of these coefficients through probabilistic methods. This calibration is a factor of paramount importance concerning the measurement of the risk of the structure. It is known that the material's properties present a certain level of dispersion. Depending on the workmanship quality, there are also uncertainties regarding the geometry of the structural parts. Furthermore, the actions in the structure show considerable variation throughout its useful life. In this context, one of the objectives of this work was to determine the reliability of reinforced concrete slabs designed according to NBR 6118 (2014), with loads determined by the recently updated standard NBR 6120 (2019), through a probabilistic analysis using a Finite Element numerical model and through a non-linear analysis. For this, the proposed study addresses the determination of resistance, represented by a theoretical distribution adjusted from simulations generated by the Monte Carlo Method using the ANSYS software. The reliability indices were obtained using the FORM method. As a result, it was possible to verify that most slabs are above the reliability indices indicated as acceptable by the American standard ACI 318 (2014). In addition, the significant influence of the variable loading on the results was confirmed due to its great variability.

First, After producing an initial analysis frame on Jesus' view of education through the analysis of previous studies, the Bible text was reviewed based on this to reveal the specific meaning of the intermediate topic and sub-topic of the analysis frame. Second, the intermediate topic and sub-topic of the revised analysis frame were confirmed as the final analysis frame after expert review, and based on this, the Bible text that recorded Jesus' teachings was carefully reviewed. Third, based on the analysis results with fianl analysis frame, I discussed the implications of Jesus' view of education.
Results The view of Jesus' education revealed through analysis is as follows. The educational purpose of Jesus is the formation of faith, the growth of faith, and the spread of faith. The educational content of Jesus is the Jesus himself, the kingdom of God, and the role of the people of God's kingdom. The educational methods of Jesus are showing example, figures of speech, questioning, practice, use of circumstances, and level education. The characteristics of educational evaluation of Jesus are the use of criteria, feedback. The implications discussed from the results are as follows. From the educational purpose of Jesus, I derive implications for education for one life, expression of expectations for students, and the spread of self-educational view. From Jesus' educational content, I derive implications for expressing the teacher himself to the student, managing the class as a small society, and raising questions about what was taken for granted. From Jesus' educational methods, I derive implications for standing up once again, communicating in a language that students can understand, becoming aware of the student's real problems, and waiting for the best time. From Jesus' educational evaluation I derive implications for evaluating in principle, evaluating students' lives outside the classroom, parents' participation in education, and enduring unwanted educational results.
Conclusions The conclusions reached through this study are as follows. Teachers in Korean schools already show some characteristics of Jesus' education. It would be very helpful if teachers could use Jesus as a role model and apply his education view collectively to themselves.
The maritime medicine in Morocco: reality and future prospects
Authors: Ghaila T.
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION: The maritime sector in Morocco constitutes an important economic and social lever of the country, in particular with the two maritime facades of the country. If the fishing sector is classically the dominant part of this system, the change experienced by the Moroccan economy over the past two decades and the development of the port infrastructure of the merchant marine have allowed the latter to regain its importance. This development of the marine sector has repercussions on seamen and calls into question the importance of the social issue in this area, particularly in relation to the medical care of this population.

OBJECTIVES: To research the scope of medical care issues related to merchant marine workers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was based on the collection of data: legislative texts on occupational health and safety; statistical data from administrations (the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Marine Fisheries), the General Medical Council of Morocco, scientific societies and associations for occupational health and marine medicine. The analysis included socio-demographic and professional characteristics, training, evaluation of activities, limitations in its implementation and priority recommendations for improving the situation.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Morocco’s health system includes two areas: the commercial and fishing sectors. The study showed that there are no specialized medical centers in any of the sectors, and medical care for this population is at a low level. There is no Moroccan telemedicine system. Currently, Morocco has already defined a legal framework for this practice.

CONCLUSION: This article sheds light on the health system of seamen in Morocco while highlighting its strengths and weaknesses as well as avenues for reflection for the improvement of existing anomalies.

Articulações cênicas da espacialidade audiovisual: paradigmas criativos e tecnologias do cenário
Authors: Castanha Cesar de Siqueira
Published: July 2022

Este artigo busca compreender as formulações do espaço cênico no audiovisual recuperando e enfatizando as tecnologias que reivindicam esses espaços audiovisuais como cenários. Inicialmente, organizam-se os parâmetros gerais pelos quais devem ser reconhecidas e lidas as articulações cênicas do espaço no audiovisual, definindo os papeis do enquadramento e da encenação desse espaço. Depois disso, são apresentados alguns exemplos que evidenciam uma instabilidade nessa articulação do espaço. Em uma perspectiva, discute-se as reconfigurações do lugar e o deslocamento operado por alguns gêneros da televisão. Em uma segunda perspectiva, são enfatizadas tecnologias como a projeção traseira e a sua atuação na articulação de espaços cênicos. Enfim, o artigo coloca em questão o papel de indexicalidade dos espaços do audiovisual e discute o uso dos conceitos de lugar e de paisagem para as encenações audiovisuais, relacionando-os às problemáticas criativas do cenário.
O conceito de convenção cinematográfica de David Bordwell: a limitação do arbitrário
Authors: Damasceno Alex
Published: July 2022

O artigo discute o conceito de convenção cinematográfica de David Bordwell, construído a partir das críticas que o autor faz às vertentes naturalista e construtivista da teoria do cinema, especialmente à aplicação que os pesquisadores da área fizeram do princípio da arbitrariedade do signo de Saussure. Tem como objetivo fazer uma revisão críticados marcos teóricos e disputas conceituais que levaram Bordwell a defender a convenção como um universal contingente. Por fim, reflete acercado funcionamento de diferentes tipos de convenção, organizadas por Bordwell num continuum que parte de gatilhos sensoriais e formas transculturais em direção a sistemas recônditos.

The Islamic Other in Post-9/11 America: Reading Resistance in Hamid and Halaby
Authors: Roy Pathik
Published: July 2022

The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on 11th September, 2001, left behind 2977 dead, an altered Manhattan skyline and a changed world order marked by a formidable upsurge of global discourses pertaining to terrorism, multiculturalism, xenophobia, collective memory, and so forth. Indeed, 9/11 inhabits a discursive field of narratives/counter-narratives defying closure. Taking into cognizance this inevitability of myriad discourses, the present paper engages with the politics of the emergence of the discursively constructed Islamic Other in the post-9/11 national imaginary. Using the Foucauldian ideas of Power/Knowledge and “regime of Truth” along with Said’s major premises as are found in the works Orientalism and Covering Islam, the paper attempts to debunk the idea that “innocent”, neutral and objective representations in the media have been the norm. It argues that the fanatical, regressive and jehad-driven stereotype of the Islamic Other that gained visibility/ circulation/ legitimisation in the post-9/11 American socio-political culturescape had a Stateist genesis rooted in the reductive, ahistorical, Manichean binary of “us versus them” which essentially constituted the official discourse. It traces the trajectory of the Arab-American experience from initial erasure/ invisibility to hyper-visibility in the post-9/11 years, a time marked by deep fractures in the civil society where xenophobia, racial profiling and jingoistic patriotism became normalised. One way of generating resistance to such workings of power is by launching a counternarrative through the literary text. Consequently, the paper ends with a detailed engagement with two novels, one by Mohsin Hamid and another by Laila Halaby, that resist the official stereotypes/discourses while foregrounding the various registers of Othering in the post-9/11 years.
