Authors: ŞENEL ÇORUHLU Tülay , ADANUR Hüriye
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the enriched guidebook about "Let's Get to Know the Matter" unit on students’ conceptual understanding in the multigrade classroom. Design/Methodology/Approach: The action research method was used in this study. This method focuses on the teacher solving the problem by developing strategies for the solution of the problem (Çepni, 2010). The sample group of the study is consisted of 3rd (six students) and 4th (eight students) grade students in a multigrade classroom and their teacher in Çat district of Erzurum province. Structured grid, interview questions and researcher's diary were used for data collection.Findings: It can be observed that the enriched guided material significantly effects conceptual understanding of the students at third grade (z = 2,201, p <.05) and fourth grade (z = 2,380, p <.05) in the multigrade classrooms. It has been said that the active learning techniques and educational games used in the guidebook provide attention and facilitate learning by keeping students active.Highlights: When the current literature is examined, it is seen that the number of studies focus on science teaching in multigrade classroom in our country is quite insufficient (Saraçoğlu, Böyük, & Tanık, 2012; Uçar, 1997). The research was carried out to fill this gap in the literature.
A scramble of external powers and local agency in the Horn of Africa
Authors:   PhD, Researcher, Center for International Studies (CEI), Iscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (Iscte-IUL), Ylönen Aleksi
Published: October 2022

The Horn of Africa rarely makes international media headlines. Issues such as the Tigray conflict, extreme drought conditions and the Nile waters dispute have gained occasional global attention, but consistent and contextualized coverage is often missing. Nevertheless, the Horn is a strategically important and dynamic African sub-region that has been subject to the interplay of foreign interests and local forces for centuries. Despite recent efforts to propel economic development, external players in the Horn of Africa have often engaged in rivalries that have had destabilising consequences for the wider region. Their involvement in the Horn of Africa has mostly been adventurous and self-serving without much concern for the repercussions of their actions. Meanwhile, local state and non-state actors have taken advantage of foreign interests to strengthen their position. This analysis suggests that external actors should tone down their rivalries and engage more responsibly in the Horn of Africa to encourage local players to work for mutual benefit.
Mass Gathering and Population Movement in India: Possible Risk of Vector-Borne Diseases
Authors:   National Centre for Disease Control, 22 Sham Nath Marg, Delhi, India, Sharma SN
Published: October 2022

Surveillance tools measure and help to predict the possibility of the onset of any disease including vector-borne diseases during some specific situations likemass gatherings (MGs) that are closely related tothe disease epidemiology (why, what, who, where, when, and how)concerningthe transmission of infectious diseases including vector-borne diseases. Some situations ofmass gatherings may bring closely large and diverse population groups coming from different endemic zones/areas leading tothe transmission of communicable diseases including vector-borne diseases. Mass gatherings (MGs) may have the potential to enhance the transmission dynamics of vector-borne diseasesowing to different geographical, social, and climatic factors. Usually, MGs have been thought to have enhanced risks of disease transmission.Theyalso have the potential to increase the opportunities for other types of mechanical injuriesfrom accidents, stampedes, alcohol use, internal group fights etc. that may result in morbidity or mortality.Besides, they are potential breeding places for the proliferation of vector species, capable of transmitting malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and JE including ticks and mites-borne diseases. It is a well-known fact there area large number of asymptomatic cases which act as sub-clinical cases, hence, chances of local transmission through vectors during such mass gatherings can not be ruled out.There is always a need for well-structured, intensified real-time disease and vector surveillance and reporting systems in place which is essential for efficient MG planning, to ensure disease prevention and control. In the present context of the ongoing COVIDpandemic, such surveillance systems havebecome a vital component of such events of mass gatherings and large-scale movement of people.

Authors:   Chettinad Hospital and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu, India., Ajmal Imran Thariq
Published: October 2022

Background: Breast tuberculosis is significant due to its rare occurrence and dilemma in prospective treatment and differentiation from neoplastic lesions. Tuberculosis of the breast usually affects women from Asia, most commonly, the Indian subcontinent and Africa. Tuberculous mastitis has a wide range of clinical presentation, radiological features, and even microbiological presentation. Materials and Method: A prospective study was conducted over 6 months. 40 female patients with varied presentations correlating to tuberculous mastitis with a lump in the breast for a particular period of time were included in the study. Results: The patients’ ages varied from 20 to 45 years. After routine investigations, the patients went in for incision and drainage or incisional biopsy or both and postoperatively their histopathological reports revealed granulomatous breast disease (tuberculous mastitis) with negative GeneXpert (CB-NAAT). Patients were started on an anti-tubercular treatment regimen and showed a progressive decrease in symptomatology. Conclusion: Granulomatous breast abscess/ tuberculous breast abscess has a varied presentation and no fixed treatment regime. Anti-tuberculous drugs in such patients proved to be efficacious in symptomatic relief with prevention of recurrence/ fistula formation.
Breastfeeding: Importance in Early Development of the Immune System and Long-term Health
Authors:   Sister Tutor, Ahilya Bai College of Nursing, Lok Nayak Hospital & MAM College, New Delhi, India, Rani Usha
Published: October 2022

Breastfeeding supplies the baby and infant with unparalleled natural nutrients. Human breast milk also has several antimicrobial agents and may influence immune system development, as evidenced by prior research on newborn immunisation response and thymus gland development. Human milk is a dynamic supply of nutrients and bioactive ingredients and promotes the healthy growth and development of the human newborn. Infants are more susceptible to infection because their developing immune systems have a number of weaknesses. This review focuses on the direct effect of human milk on innate immunity in infants. Numerous new studies have made the multi-functionality of the bioactive components of human milk very clear. Our knowledge of the potential positive effects of human milk on infants has increased. These effects are not achievable with milk formulae. Human milk contains antimicrobial proteins and peptides that have a broader involvement in innate immune defence than previously thought. A complex combination of the anti-inflammatory and antioxidative substances that human milk supplies to the intestine results in a special environment of improved immune defence with reduced inflammation.

Published: October 2022

MicroRNA-140-5p (miR-140-5p) plays a pivotal role in human cancers. However, its role and molecular mechanisms in breast carcinoma are not fully explored. Using miR-140-5p transfected breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, several in vitro experiments were performed and described in this paper. They consist of the cell proliferation assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, colony formation assays and qRTPCR. Expression levels of target proteins were determined using Western blotting. In addition, experiments on animal models were performed to study the possible role of miR-140-5p in tumorigenesis of breast carcinoma cells. The induction of experimental breast tumor in mice model was achieved through the incorporation of MDA-MB-231 tumor cells subcutaneously into the middle left side of the mice. The results showed that miR-140-5p up-regulation significantly suppresses proliferation, cellular invasion and migration of breast carcinoma cells. Furthermore, miR-140-5p up-regulation stops breast cancer cells at G0/G1 phase. The results of the animal model indicated that up-regulation of miR-140-5p suppresses its tumorigenic ability. Moreover, we also found that miR-140-5p up-regulation reduces the phosphorylation level of STAT3, p65, and AKT. In addition, miR-140-5p overexpression significantly decreases CDK2 expression while increasing E-cadherin expression level. These data revealed that miR-140-5p suppressed tumor progression of breast carcinoma cells through inhibition of the AKT/STAT3/NF-κB pathway. Taken the present study results together, we can conclude that miR-140-5p may act as a novel target in microRNA-targeting anticancer strategy for the treatment of breast cancer.

Sauertylenchus maximus was discovered during a survey conducted at the Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, for the type specimens of Hoplolaimus galeatus. Besides the fresh material, the fixed specimens of S. maximus were also studied by molecular and morphological means. The morphological and morphometric characteristics of the recovered fresh material were consistent with the original and other description(s) of this species. The fixed specimens used in this study were preserved in a 3% formaldehyde and 2% glycerin solution for over 20 yr. Molecular analyses of the fresh and fixed specimens were performed using internal transcribed spacer, D2–D2 expansion segments of 28S large subunits, and 18S small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. To our knowledge, this represents the first report of S. maximus from Virginia and the first report of a successful DNA extraction from fixed nematode specimens.

Published: October 2022

In southern China, the staple food rice (Oryza sativa) field is commonly rotated with brown mustard Brassica juncea. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are a major threat to rice production. From 2019 to 2021, B. juncea in 56 fields from 26 counties in Guangxi Province were observed with symptoms of leaf yellowing, stunting, and several hook-shaped galls on the roots. Females and egg masses of Meloidogyne sp. were found within the galls. The females, males, and second-stage juveniles (J2s) were collected, and identified with morphological and molecular characteristics and female perineal patterns. Brassica juncea was transplanted in pots and a pathogenicity test was conducted to confirm the species as Meloidogyne graminicola. In China, this is the first record of a natural infection of mustard with M. graminicola, and this finding has great importance for Chinese mustard production, since this nematode may damage mustard plants and become an additional problem for this crop.

Published: October 2022

This paper aims to evaluate the factors determining countries’ private credit level as well as to identify the differences of their effect during the periods when the levels of country private credit exceeded 100 percent of GDP or were below. The research methodology relies on two modifications of the multiple regression model with log differences of variables. Research results showed a negative impact of economic growth and a positive impact of consumer prices and housing prices on the level of private credit. It has also been found that in the first period when the level of private credit to GDP exceeds the 100 per cent threshold households tend to borrow more than in other periods. In the second model distinguishing between periods when the level of country’s private credit was below 100 per cent of GDP and when this level was reached or exceeded the research showed that the effects of economic growth do not differ between periods of high and low indebtedness, but the difference becomes apparent when assessing the impact of household income and expenditure, thus confirming the impact of the marginal financial depth.

Virtual exhibitions are growing driven by physical restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition of works that were previously more physical in nature, can be visited physically is slowly turning into an exhibition that is visited virtually. This change is uncomfortable for the community. For this reason, a study is needed on the impact of virtual exhibition visits on the community during the COVID-19 restrictions. This study aims to answer these problems and at the same time evaluate the progress of virtual exhibitions in the early days of the pandemic. Collecting data using an online questionnaire on 49 architecture students. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed using distribution and content analysis for open-ended questions. Exhibition content is the main focus. in a virtual exhibition. Other aspects to consider are virtual quality, exhibition perception, and execution. Restrictions cause boredom and stress. Virtual exhibitions can help overcome these feelings. Virtual exhibitions are not a substitute for physical exhibitions because people do not feel the need to refrain from visiting virtual exhibitions. Professionals feel motivated to visit any exhibition whether physical or virtual. So virtual exhibitions function like physical exhibitions, the only difference is the impression and experience that visitors get

Skateboarding in Place
Authors: Shortreed Kim
Published: October 2022

This exploration paper considers the sport/art/activity of skateboarding as it intertwines with spatial experiences, identities, and our personal and kinetic vernaculars. I try to understand what skateboarders, and Indigenous skateboarders especially, can teach us about alternative ways to understand space, place, and identity. I posit that skateboarding encourages spatial comprehension and landscape-use in particular ways, what I think of as a skatescape: a landscape as seen through skateboarders’ eyes. Through a skateboarding media and art lens, I reflect on some ways in which skateboarding influences narratives of place and belonging. I then consider these personal narratives and attempt to broaden the definition of a skatescape and in so doing speculate on how we create, share, and navigate our unique and personal spatial languages through movement and presence. Finally, I reveal that appreciating Indigenous skatescapes has illuminated a blindspot in my settler psyche: that up until recently I had not acknowledged fully that each and every spot I have ever skated was and is Indigenous land.

Günümüzde mevcut raporlama yöntemlerinin başta yatırımcılar ve pay sahipleri olmak üzere işletmenin tüm paydaşlarının sürekli değişen ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini karşılama konusunda yetersiz kalması nedeniyle, işletmelerin cari dönemde ve uzun vadede nasıl değer yaratabildiğini açıklayabilen kurumsal raporlama sistemlerinin son aşaması olarak entegre raporlama sistemi ortaya çıkmıştır. İşletmelerin uzun vadeli sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamayı amaçlayan entegre raporlama, değer yaratma sürecinde tüm sermaye öğelerinin işletme stratejileriyle bütünleştirilerek faaliyetlere entegre edilmesi ile karar verme süreçlerinin çok daha hızlı ve etkin hale gelmesini sağlamakta ve işletmelerin gerek toplumsal gerek çevresel gerekse finansal performansını yükseltmektedir. Dolayısıyla sürdürülebilirlik kavramı her ne kadar daha çok ekonomik ve ekolojik açıdan değerlendirilse de insan temelli sorunlara karşı entegre raporlarda sosyal sürdürülebilirlik de tüm boyutlarla birlikte ele alınmalıdır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı Türkiye’de son üç yılda düzenli entegre rapor yayınlayan işletme ve kurumların raporlarında, sosyal sürdürülebilirlik kavramına ne ölçüde yer verildiği ve hangi boyutlarına vurgu yaptıldığını tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla çalışmada MAXQDA programı kullanılarak 39 entegre rapor içerik analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiş ve işletmelerin en fazla eğitim ve eşitlik alt boyutlarında sosyal sürdürülebilirliğe katkı sağladıkları tespit edilmiştir.

Intermedial Reflections on Analogue Photography and Digital Visuality in Moxyland
Authors: Vellai Micayla , Wittenberg Hermann
Published: October 2022

This article re-reads Lauren Beukes’s debut novel Moxyland (2008) through an intermedial lens, focusing on the text’s multiple “nested” references to images, as well as techniques of “braiding” where visual effects are woven into the prose itself. The ubiquitous presence of photography in the novel suggests a pervasive thematic and stylistic visuality, which at times mimics ways of seeing through a camera lens. A key structuring binary in the novel concerns the opposition between two fundamentally different forms of image technologies, namely classical analogue photography and digital imagery. These two different visual modes are keyed to two of the main characters, but are also freighted with aesthetic, ethical, and political consequences. Photographs have classically authenticated the existence of the real world in front of the lens, but in a digital world, the direct connection between image and reality is increasingly tenuous, arbitrary and random, opening up the spectre of totalitarian information control, fake news, and media manipulation, a world in which citizens no longer have any access to truth and pictures no longer tell us what really has happened. Beukes’s novel, read through this opposition between analogue photography and digital visuality, is a cautionary tale about a future of images and digital technology, and of the consequences that these shifts in visual media may have on society.
Epistemic Journeying across Abyssal Lines of Thinking: Towards Reclaiming Southern Voices
Authors: Mudaly Ronicka , Sanjigadu Sebastian
Published: October 2022

Cognitive injustice, which nourishes and sustains current political, social and economic injustice, has been at the centre of the knowledge production enterprise since the colonisers embarked on their project of dispossession and plunder. In order to achieve global justice, the quest for epistemic justice needs to be brought to the centre of curriculum discourses. The postcolonial critique of the canonical corpus of Euro-Western knowledge demands a change in our locus of enunciation. We seized this zeitgeist to repaint the education curriculum canvass in science professional teacher development. We leveraged theoretical constructs from Southern theory, by adopting a decolonial epistemic perspective and privileging a dialogic dynamic. Six purposefully selected, practising science teachers, who were registered to study an Honours in Education module, were engaged to generate qualitative data to respond to the following question: How do science teachers leverage indigenous knowledge to address sustainable development goals? Teachers engaged in intercultural dialogue with indigenous knowledge holders to tap into a plurality of different knowledges. The indigenous knowledge holders who participated were interested in sustainable production/cultivation of items they had used in their practice. Teachers developed portfolios of evidence and participated in focus group interviews. They experienced moments of mourning, dreaming, rediscovery and recovery. This resonated with the same categories that were previously identified by Chilisa, as teachers deconstructed and reconstructed curriculum materials collaboratively with indigenous knowledge holders. The findings reveal that the teachers viewed an indigenous understanding of the world as crucial in the achievement of sustainable development goals. The monolithic, hegemonic Euro-Western thinking was decentred but not abandoned. Instead, teachers rendered it one part of the intercultural dialogue. The study demonstrated the potential for transforming the curriculum to become inclusive of Southern voices in the production of valuable, truthful, reliable knowledge about living together sustainably.

Applying Foucault to Participatory Assessment in Higher Education: A Case Study in South Africa
Authors: Ramhurry Cindy
Published: October 2022

Assessment policy reform has led to the adoption of a “participatory” framework of assessment in South African higher education. Using a Foucauldian theoretical lens, this article explores the relation between participatory assessment practices in higher education and social control. Empirical evidence is drawn from assessment practices observed in certain lectures in a South African university and interviews with lecturers. Data is analysed through a Foucauldian lens that forges a connection between disciplinary power, control and regulation. The article then describes the technologies of disciplinary power that play out within the participatory assessment practices and demonstrates what these technologies of power do to assessors and students when they become involved in them. The article argues that participatory assessment in some respects epitomises progressive educational themes, yet, when studied with an eye towards power, it reveals deep contradictions and paradoxes.
O CUIDADO DE DEUS ATRAVÉS DA HISTÓRIA
Authors: Mota Francinilson Nascimento , Virmes Junior Clacir
Published: October 2022

Apresentar o cuidado de Deus através da história, em uma sociedade onde se duvida de tudo e todos, não é diferente quando se fala da Biblia e da história da humanidade. Será que a história que conhecemos hoje é digna de confiança? Como Deus conservou a história passando entre as gerações até chegar a nós como a conhecemos? Buscaremos enxergar então o cuidado de Deus na história e com a profecia. Fazendo alusão ao primeiro período profético e como Deus conservou a história passando oralmente entre as gerações. Veremos também contribuições de Matusalém, Noé e os filhos de Noé entre outros personagens, em levar adiante e manter a integridade da história. Observaremos ainda a degeneração humana e o risco de a história se perder. Concluiremos assim abordando a origem da escrita e sua contribuição na conservação da história. O presente estudo foi realizado mediante análises bibliográficas e revisão de literatura. E percebeu-se que Deus nunca deixou a história se perder ao longo dos anos, providenciou diversos métodos para conserva-la, entres estes estão os homens que dedicaram sua vida para obedecer a vontade de Deus, os profetas e a escrita.
Impact of mask wear on the skin of clinical year medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional study

Published: October 2022

Objectives:

Use of facial masks since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a new type of mechanical acne termed Maskne. Long-term wear of masks can increase skin damage leading to de novo onset of, or worsening of pre-existing facial dermatoses such as acne, rosacea, and dermatitis. We have encountered numerous studies on the effects of mask wear on skin of health-care professionals, mainly COVID-19 first responders, but there seems to be scarce literature on the effects of mask wear in medical students. The objective of the study was to investigate how mask wear during the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the skin condition of clinical year medical students from Georgian Medical Universities.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted online through a survey among 152 clinical year medical students (4th, 5th, and 6th years) of Georgian Medical Universities, from February 27, 2022, to April 18, 2022. Participants’ were asked a series of questions focusing on their mask habits such as type of mask worn, duration of wear, frequency of changing the mask, and about their skin condition before and after mask usage.

Results:

From a total of 151 respondents, of which 69.5% (n = 105) were female and 30.5% (n = 46) were male, with majority of participants from the 5th year 48.1% (n = 62), followed by 4th year 30.5% (n = 46) and 6th year 28.5% (n = 43), 51.4% (n = 76) of students experienced acne/rosacea or had their pre-existing acne/rosacea worsen since they started wearing masks. The top three common manifestations are closed comedones 65.8% (n = 52), pustules 43% (n = 34), and papules 26.6% (n = 21). However, there was no statistically significant relationship between the type of mask used and the daily duration of wear on facial dermatoses.

Conclusion:

Widespread use of masks may flare up acne in some medical students causing a negative impact on their self-confidence. One of the limitation of our study is the small sample size. Furthermore, information from the participants related to hereditary and acne exposome factors that may contribute to the development of, or worsening of acne was not carried out, and no follow-up was performed. The data were collected through an online survey only, without a physical examination in person of the participants’ skin. Therefore, the details reported are up to the participants’ discretion. Further research in this area needs to be carried out with a bigger sample size and with the diagnosis of mask acne confirmed by a medical professional. It is important to diagnose and treat this new age dermatological condition in a timely manner to prevent lasting adverse effects on skin condition.
