“‘We the people’ would soon decide for them”: Grave Robbing and the Black Press in Nineteenth-Century Philadelphia
Authors: Hester Jessica Leigh
Published: November 2024

In the nineteenth-century United States, medical schools routinely trafficked in human remains to supply dissecting rooms. Beyond intercepting remains from hospitals, prisons, and morgues, professors, students, and their proxies also commissioned grave robberies or liaised with cemetery thieves to acquire stolen bodies. One such grave robbery occurred in Philadelphia in December 1882 when thieves plundered Lebanon Cemetery, a burial ground for Black residents, in the hope of selling the unearthed bodies to Jefferson Medical College. This event captured the attention of reporters and editors in Philadelphia and nationwide. This article examines a diverse array of those sources, teasing out the differences between the coverage in Philadelphia’s city newspapers and that in the Christian Recorder, locally published by the African Methodist Episcopal Church and an example of the thriving Black press. While the local city papers covered the heist with a trademark sensationalism, the Christian Recorder struck a different tone, aiming its coverage at furthering social and political goals. By leveraging the language of patriotism, religion, and racial uplift, it linked dissection and self-determination, advocating for sacrificing some bodies in order to protect others—both in life and in death—and, in the process, testifying to Black people’s intrinsic humanity.
Negotiating Ornamentalism and Spectacle Ethnography in Sui Sin Far’s Mrs. Spring Fragrance
Authors: Tripp Colleen
Published: November 2024

Despite the transnational studies of Sui Sin Far’s oeuvre, few critics have studied the fictional Chinese merchant families in her short story collection Mrs. Spring Fragrance (1912) and their relation to what Anne Cheng terms global ornamentalism. In Cheng’s account, Asian femininity is part and parcel of the global racialized discourse of the ornament, which has been identified with the Orient or Asian communities since antiquity. On the one hand, Sui Sin Far aligns women of the Chinese merchant class in her stories with chinoiserie, Orientalist jewelry and clothes, and even the Oriental bazaar itself to dramatize the dissolution between subject and object and to show the characters’ desire to conform to the repressive discursive systems of ornamentation that construct Asian womanhood. On the other hand, she attends to those moments when these women break from ornamentalism or employ ornamentation for their benefit in the face of spectacle ethnographic entertainment, such as the slum tours and immigration exposés popular in turn-of-the-century Western media. Ultimately, she manipulates the exhibitory nature of ornamentalism in her narratives, showing the contradictory ways her characters negotiate the terms of ornamentalism while also critiquing media representations of China and its people as despotic and primitive.

Published: November 2024

Colletotrichum theobromicola is one of the fungus species that causes anthracnose in the papaya fruit. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of three polymeric bases in their usual concentrations – starch (6% m/v), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, 1% m/v), and chitosan (2% m/v) – on the in vitro growth parameters of C. theobromicola: germination, conidia count, and membrane permeabilization, to identify a more suitable polymeric base to be applied in the development of an active coating for the postharvest conservation of papaya. In vitro growth was determined in Petri dishes for 7 days, while germination and membrane permeabilization were assessed after 24 h of incubation at 25 ± 3ºC. It was found that the different polymeric bases interfere with the germination and mycelial growth of C. theobromicola. The chitosan coating completely inhibited germination and in vitro growth of the fungus. Germination and in vitro growth were more easily achieved with the 6% starch coating. The 1% CMC also showed a high proportion of conidia germination but with a lower proportion of mycelial growth. Thus, based on the high cost of chitosan, CMC can be considered a more suitable polymeric base for the formulation of active coatings.

Authors: Harahap Ramadhan , Rahayu Sri , Lestari Maudy
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of financial attitude, subjective norms, and financial self-efficacy on the financial behavioral intentions of young entrepreneurs. As young entrepreneurs face increasing pressure to make strategic financial decisions, understanding the factors influencing their financial behavior is crucial. The primary goal of this research is to evaluate how financial attitudes, subjective norms, and self-efficacy in financial management shape young entrepreneurs' intentions to engage in prudent financial behaviors. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey will be conducted, targeting young entrepreneurs actively running their own businesses. Data will be collected through in-person surveys distributed at entrepreneurship events, business incubators, and local business networks. The analysis will utilize Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore the relationships among the variables. The study anticipates finding that positive financial attitudes, influential subjective norms, and high financial self-efficacy significantly impact financial behavioral intentions. These results are expected to provide valuable insights into the determinants of financial decision-making among young entrepreneurs. The research will contribute to enhancing financial education programs and offer practical recommendations for interventions aimed at strengthening financial self-efficacy and attitudes, ultimately promoting more responsible financial behaviors.
How Ambidextrous Marketing Capabilities Mediate the Impact of Market Knowledge Breadth on Innovation Performance: A Conceptual Model
Authors: Dharma Tuah Putra Nasution Muhammad , Rossanty Yossie , Harahap Ramadhan , Ramadhan Tanjung Aulia
Published: November 2024

This conceptual paper aims to explore the mediating role of ambidextrous marketing capabilities in the relationship between market knowledge breadth and innovation performance within the hospitality sector, specifically in food and beverage establishments. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by proposing a theoretical framework that links these variables. It conceptualizes how a firm’s breadth of market knowledge—encompassing insights into various market segments and customer needs—can influence its innovation performance, with ambidextrous marketing capabilities acting as a mediating factor. Ambidextrous marketing capabilities are defined in terms of their exploratory (ability to explore new markets and customer segments) and exploitative (ability to leverage existing market knowledge) dimensions. The paper argues that firms with extensive market knowledge are better positioned to develop and apply these capabilities effectively, thus enhancing their innovation outcomes. The proposed framework suggests that market knowledge breadth influences innovation performance both directly and indirectly through ambidextrous marketing capabilities. This conceptual approach aims to provide a foundation for future empirical research and offers theoretical insights into how firms in the hospitality sector can leverage their market knowledge and marketing capabilities to drive innovation.
A HANDBOOK FOR TRAVELERS IN TURKEY’DE BATILI SEYYAHLAR İÇİN TÜRKİYE TANITIMI VE BAZI PRATİK ÖNERİLER
Authors: Kuş Ayşegül
Published: November 2024

İnsanın merak eden ve düşünen bir varlık olması, onun yeni yerler keşfetme, farklı topluluklar ve kültürlere ulaşma ve onları tanıma isteğine yol açmıştır. Böylece gidilen yerler, buralarda yaşayan insan toplulukları, onların yaşayış biçimleri, gelenekleri, görenekleri gibi pek çok konuda toplanan ilgi ve dikkat çekici bilgiler yazıya dökülmüş, böylece genel olarak tarihsel ve edebi metinler olan geniş ve zengin bir seyahatname literatürü ortaya çıkmıştır. Seyahatnamelerin tarihsel geçmişi antik döneme kadar uzanmaktadır. Seyyahların gezdikleri yerlere dair gözlem ve incelemelerini içeren seyahatnamelerin ilk örnekleri arasında tarihin babası olarak adlandırılan Herodot ile Amasya doğumlu ünlü coğrafyacı Strabon tarafından kaleme alınan eserlerin yer aldığı söylenebilir. Tarihsel süreç içerisinde yabancı seyyahların gizemli ve egzotik olarak nitelendirdikleri ve imgeledikleri doğuya olan seyahat ve kaleme aldıkları eserler artarak devam etmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu da, kurulduğu ve genişlediği coğrafya nedeniyle, hemen her dönem yabancıların dikkatini çekmiş ve kuruluşundan yıkılışına kadar pek çok seyyah tarafından seyahat edilen bir yer olmuştur. Yüzyıllara göre değişkenlik gösterse de, Osmanlı Devleti’ni her yönden mercek altına yatıran bu seyahatnameler, batıdaki Türk imgesinin oluşmasında da önemli bir rol oynamışlardır. Özellikle 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı topraklarını ziyaret eden seyyah ve araştırmacıların sayısında bir artış olması dikkat çekmektedir. Bu artışın olmasında elbette dönemin siyasi ve ekonomik gelişmelerine koşut olarak bölgenin öneminin artması ve buna binaen batılı devletlerin Osmanlı Devleti üzerinde izledikleri bazı politikaların da etkisi olmuştur. Bu bağlamda, kimi yayınevleri Osmanlı topraklarına seyahat edecek olanlar için bazı seyahat rehberleri yayımlamışlardır. İşte bu çalışmanın amacı, Murray adlı İngiliz yayınevi tarafından hazırlanan “A Handbook for Travelers in Turkey” adlı yapıttan yola çıkarak, Türkiye’ye seyahat edecek olan batılı seyyahlar için nasıl bir Türkiye tanıtımı yapıldığı ve bu seyahatleri esnasında hangi pratik bilgilerin onlara faydalı olabileceği gibi konuları ele alarak değerlendirmeyi ve böylece seyahat literatürüne kimi katkılar yapmayı amaçlamaktadır.
A quantitative study to investigate comprehension ability in monolingual and bilingual speakers and the effect subtitles have on comprehension
Authors: Robinson Jack
Published: November 2024

There are reports indicating that the ability to speak more than one language provides an individual with a cognitive advantage, however, there are also existing pieces of literature arguing there is no ‘bilingual advantage’ (van den Noort et al., 2019). This study investigates the ‘bilingual advantage’ by using reading and video comprehension tests to assess cognitive ability between 80 participants (63 monolinguals and 17 bilinguals). Research suggests that subtitles facilitate comprehension too (Latifi, 2014): this relationship was explored within the video comprehension task. Results found no significant difference in comprehension ability between language groups, suggesting there is no bilingual advantage. Although there was an improvement in video comprehension when subtitles were present, it was not a significant effect. Directions for future research were discussed.

producción y circulación de símbolos en torno al aborto en “la batalla cultural”
Authors: Veloz Contreras Areli
Published: November 2024

En este artículo se analiza la producción y circulación de símbolos en defensa de la vida desde la concepción, así como su estratégica difusión por parte de la nueva derecha, en Mexicali, Baja California. La etnografía realizada permitió ahondar en los instrumentos empleados para contrarrestar una “batalla cultural” que actualmente se expresa a través de la “ideología de género”. Se observó que, entre las estrategias utilizadas, se encuentran la manipulación y la exaltación simbólica del feto para incidir en la significación del cuerpo gestante dentro de un orden social en el que la trascendencia está puesta en la vida de la persona y lo humano, lo cual se confronta con las demandas de los feminismos en relación con la despenalización del aborto. Se concluye que para la nueva derecha la disputa se inscribe en el cuerpo de las mujeres, ya que en ellas recae la continuidad del ser y, por ende, del orden moral que lo sustenta.

Comparative analysis of the relationship among age, weight, and energy requirement of common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
Authors: Sun Yifei
Published: November 2024

Abstract. The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a well-known cetacean species, often seen in documentaries and captivity, such as zoos and aquariums. This study explores the relationships among age, weight, and energy requirements of captive dolphins to discover better dietary plans and care practices. Using data from three longitudinal studies conducted in the early 2000s, this research analyzed dolphins' body measurements and energy requirements. The findings reveal a positive correlation between the age and weight of bottlenose dolphins, suggesting that as dolphins age, their weight tends to increase. Conversely, a negative correlation between age and energy requirements, as well as weight and energy requirements, indicates that older and heavier dolphins require less energy per kilogram of body weight. These trends align with the results of the previous study; however, due to lactating females exhibiting significantly higher energy needs, the overall correlation levels were affected. These results underscore the importance of tailored feeding protocols based on dolphins' age and weight. To improve future studies, it is recommended to use standardized methodologies for measurement and sample selection and to expand the range of data sources. These results highlight the necessity of customized feeding protocols based on the age and weight of dolphins. To optimize the accuracy and representativeness of future analyses, it is recommended that methodologies for measurement and sample selection be standardized, and the range of data sources be broadened. This holistic approach will ultimately facilitate peoples understanding of dolphin physiology and contribute to better conservation and welfare practices.
“It Would Help to Know What Our Children Are Taught”: A Cry of the Voiceless Parents Pertaining School Curriculum Development
Authors: Shabalala Nonkanyiso Pamella , Hebe Headman
Published: November 2024

School education ministries in many countries, globally, purportedly advocate for parental involvement in the education of their children. Accordingly, associations that are designed, at least on paper, to accommodate parents in school related issues exist in many schools world-wide. In South Africa, where the current study was conducted, these structures are known as School Governing Bodies (SGBs). Like their counterparts, elsewhere, parents in SGBs discharge responsibilities, such as recruitment and selection of school personnel, financial management and enforcing learner discipline. This study was prompted by the paucity of research regarding parental involvement in curriculum development. Accordingly, this qualitative case study employed one-on-one interviews with parents who were members of SGBs in three schools in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. The aim was to probe their perceptions regarding their role on curriculum issues. Like numerous studies conducted previously concerning the role of parents at school, the findings of this research suggest that parents are marginalised when it comes to curriculum issues. The research recommends that more studies of similar nature be conducted and that education authorities must strive to empower parents to enable them to participate meaningfully in curriculum issues.

Проказа присутствовала на территории Армении с незапамятных времен. Текущий обзор литературы направлен на описание эпидемиологической эволюции, а также мер борьбы и географического распределения лепры в Армении. Поиск литературы осуществлялся в электронной базе данных библиотек Армении по нескольким ключевым словам, например, «проказа» или «проказа в Армении». Кроме того, были рассмотрены соответствующие статьи, доступные в интернете. Снижение случаев заболевания за 7 десятилетий произошло за счет реализации соответствующих профилактических мер (скрининг населения, активное выявление случаев заболевания, изоляция и мониторинг контактов, санитарное просвещение), а также увеличения социальных факторов и гигиенического уровня населения. Изоляция больных считалась лучшей стратегией профилактики заболевания и проводилась при отсутствии в стране лепрозория. В населенных пунктах, где часто регистрировались новые случаи лепры, проводились массовые профилактические осмотры всего населения.

Background: Global public health concerns on the morbidity and mortality associated with prostate cancer are high especially in developing countries like Nigeria. Screening has been proposed to significantly reduce mortality by promoting early diagnosis and curbing late presentation with advance disease. There’s dearth of data on knowledge and prostate cancer screening uptake in rural settings in Nigeria. This study aims to assess the knowledge and prostate cancer screening uptake among rural dwellers in Boki, Cross River State, Nigeria.
Objective: Was to assess the level of knowledge of prostate cancer, awareness of prostate cancer screening and uptake of screening services in the study area.
Materials and method: A cross sectional descriptive study design was employed and 420 participants were recruited using multistage sampling technique and a self-administered semi-structured questionnaire to extract information from the participants.
Result: 292 (72.1%) had no knowledge of prostate cancer, 355 (87.9%) were unaware of prostate cancer screening while 40 (80%) of those that are aware have never been screened for prostate cancer. 7(70%) of those that have been screened before have not gone for follow-up screening in the last 12 months. 324(80.0%) blamed non- accessibility of screening centers, while 311(76.8%) had issues of distance from health facilities
Conclusion: There was poor knowledge of prostate cancer and awareness of prostate cancer screening opportunities and very low uptake of screening services among the adult male population of the study area.
Relative Clause Attachment Preference in Najdi Arabic monolinguals and Najdi Arabic Learners of English
Authors: Aldosari Saad
Published: November 2024

There is cross-linguistic variation in how speakers process ambiguous relative clauses (RCs) (e.g., The girl saw the maid “NP1” of the princess “NP2” who was eating chocolate). English speakers, for example, prefer to interpret the RC (e.g., who was eating chocolate) as modifying the second noun phrase (the princess; low attachment), whereas Spanish and Modern Standard Arabic speakers prefer to interpret the RC as modifying the first noun phrase (the maid; high attachment) (e.g., Bidaoui et al., 2016; Dussias, 2003). The present study examined the RC attachment preference in monolingual speakers and second-language (L2) learners in two offline interpretation experiments. Experiment 1 tested the RC attachment preference in Najdi Arabic monolinguals, revealing a preference for the first noun phrase (i.e., high attachment) in their interpretation of Najdi Arabic ambiguous RCs. These results are consistent with Gibson et al.’s (1996) claim that the principle of Predicate Proximity is more likely to override the universal principle of Recency in languages that permit greater distances between the verb and its complements. Experiment 2 tested the RC attachment preference in Najdi Arabic learners of English. Unlike English speakers, Najdi Arabic learners of English preferred the first noun phrase (i.e., high attachment) when interpreting ambiguous English RCs, indicating a transfer of RC attachment preference from their L1 to their L2. These results challenge the Shallow Structure Hypothesis, which argues against L1 transfer of structure-based processing principles (e.g., Predicate Proximity) and posits that L2 learners are restricted to shallow processing that relies more on semantic cues than on syntactic cues.
Light Verb Constructions in MSA
Authors: Madkhali Safiah
Published: November 2024

Light verb constructions (LVCs) are composed of two elements: a light verb and a coverb that represent a complex predicate. The coverb can be a noun, an adjective, a verb or a prepositional phrase. The focus of the present work of research is LVCs with nominal coverbs in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The work provides a characterization of the construction and explores its lexical, syntactic and semantic aspects. The findings of this work demonstrates that LVCs in MSA are compositional. Moreover, the elements of the composite are rigid and cannot be separated as the two elements represent a single semantic unit. LVs are distinct from the lexical analogues in terms of meaning and argument structure and this supports the argument structure view that the elements belong to two distinct entries. Furthermore, the study reveals two distinct classes of LVCs, which themselves incorporate unique morphosyntactic and semantic aspects: agentive and non-agentive LVCs. The study further highlights, beside agentivity, the elements of causation and boundedness that are contributed to the construction. This research advances the understanding of LVCs in MSA, providing valuable insights for linguists.
Exploring Stylistic Problems in Translating the Style of the Quranic Emphasis on the Meaning of At-Tawkid Al-Manawi to English
Authors: Alhaj Ali , Hakami Ahmed
Published: November 2024

Abstract¬–The Quranic Arabic style focus on the meaning of at-tawkid al-manawi has played an important part in instilling the meaning in the minds of readers and recipients. This study was carried out to expose new angles on the stylistic problems met by Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan (1996), Muhammad A. S. Abdel-Haleem (2004), and Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall (1930) in their English translations of the Holy Qurʾān, particularly in terms of portraying the Quranic Arabic focus on the meaning of at-tawkid al-manawi in English and their fidelity and authenticity to the source text (ST). Furthermore, a qualitative descriptive design was utilized in this study. The findings revealed that the above-mentioned translators' renderings were often faithful to, but not always emphatic to the original text. Moreover, the investigation discovered various stylistic issues that were closely related to the consistency of the three translators' renderings.

Published: November 2024

Asphalt Burns are uncommon occupational burns. The major challenge is observed while removing the adherent asphalt from the burn in the emergency room. We report a case of 23-year-old male who presented with a complaint of painful Asphalt burn over bilateral feet 2 hours back. On examination, the dorsum of bilateral feet was covered with asphalt with areas of superficial and superficial partial thickness burn. Primary wound care was done along with tetanus prophylaxis. The adherent asphalt was removed at emergency room on the same day with gentle rubbing of asphalt with purified petroleum jelly. Our report emphasizes on the excellent outcome on the removal of adherent asphalt using purified petroleum jelly in the emergency room, especially in resource limited settings.

Background: Severe metabolic acidosis is a critical diagnosis for which prompt identification of underlying cause and resuscitation is crucial to prevent its high morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to help determine the etiology and observe effective treatments of severe acidosis after the authors observed a number of adult patients with a history of alcohol consumption presenting to the Emergency Department, who on evaluation had severe metabolic acidosis.
Methods: This was an observational study where all patients with severe metabolic acidosis admitted to the emergency department during the study period were included. Data regarding the clinical features, treatment provided, and outcomes were collected from medical records.
Result: 38 patients were included in the study. Most participants presented with symptoms of shortness of breath, abdominal pain and vomiting. 23 participants (60.5%) had a history of chronic alcohol use while 13 (34.2%) reported binge drinking. The most common diagnoses were alcoholic ketoacidosis, sepsis, diabetic ketoacidosis and acute renal injury. Among patients without AKA, the mean lactate among patients who did not survive to discharge was 11.6. In contrast, amongst patients with AKA the initial mean lactate was 17 among those who survived to discharge.
Conclusion: Identifying severe metabolic acidosis and its underlying cause is important to improve the survival of patients presenting to the emergency department. This small study raises the question that perhaps the initial lactate does not carry prognostic value in patients with AKA and lactate levels may be further elevated in areas of greater thiamine deficiency.
