Descent, Culture, and Self-Determination: States and the Definition of Indigenous Peoples
Authors: De Costa Ravi
Published: April 2024

Canada’s concept of “status” – the definition of who is an Aboriginal person under the Indian Act – has its analogies in the administrative practices of many countries. However, the European colonial expansion produced great variety, with contemporary states now relying on multiple categories of definition; descent from an enrolled historical population is often arbitrarily combined with particular cultural or demographic attributes. Effective activism has, in recent decades, pushed states towards policies of Indigenous self-definition. However, this remains constrained and uneven. While the initial goal here is a critical survey of definitions of Indigenous status in the “settler states” of Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa and the US, the paper examines practices in Latin America, Scandinavia and Russia as well as Asia and Africa. It concludes with a discussion about ongoing challenges for state practices of definition, including the implications of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] serum levels are highly genetically determined and promote atherogenesis. High Lp(a) levels are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity. Serum Lp(a) levels have recently been associated with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke. We aimed to externally validate this association in an independent cohort.
METHODS: This study stems from the prospective multicentre CoRisk study (CoPeptin for Risk Stratification in Acute Stroke patients [NCT00878813]), conducted at the University Hospital Bern, Switzerland, between 2009 and 2011, in which Lp(a) plasma levels were measured within the first 24 hours after stroke onset. We assessed the association of Lp(a) with LAA stroke using multivariable logistic regression and performed interaction analyses to identify potential effect modifiers.
RESULTS: Of 743 patients with ischaemic stroke, 105 (14%) had LAA stroke aetiology. Lp(a) levels were higher for LAA stroke than non-LAA stroke patients (23.0 nmol/l vs 16.3 nmol/l, p = 0.01). Multivariable regression revealed an independent association of log10 Lp(a) with LAA stroke aetiology (aOR 1.47 [95% CI 1.03–2.09], p = 0.03). The interaction analyses showed that Lp(a) was not associated with LAA stroke aetiology among patients with diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: In a well-characterised cohort of patients with ischaemic stroke, we validated the association of higher Lp(a) levels with LAA stroke aetiology, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These findings may inform randomised clinical trials investigating the effect of Lp(a) lowering agents on cardiovascular outcomes.
The CoRisk (CoPeptin for Risk Stratification in Acute Patients) study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Registration number: NCT00878813.
The impact of willingness-to-pay threshold on price reduction recommendations for oncology drugs: a review of assessments conducted by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health
Authors: Balijepalli Chakrapani , Gullapalli Lakshmi , Joshy Juhi , Rawson Nigel SB
Published: April 2024

Since late 2020, the Canadian Agency of Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) has been using a threshold of $50,000 (CAD) per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) for both oncology and non-oncology drugs. When used for oncology products, this threshold is hypothesized to have a higher impact on the time to access these drugs in Canada. We studied the impact of price reductions on time to engagement and negotiation with the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance for oncology drugs reviewed by CADTH between January 2020 and December 2022. Overall, 103 assessments reported data on price reductions recommended by CADTH to meet the cost–effectiveness threshold for reimbursement. Of these assessments, 57% (59/103) recommendations included a price reduction of greater than 70% off the list price. Eight percent (8/103) were not cost-effective even at a 100% price reduction. Of the 47 assessments that had a clear benefit, in 21 (45%) CADTH recommended a price reduction of at least 70%. The median time to price negotiation (not including time to engagement) for assessments that received at least 70% vs >70% price reduction was 2.6 vs 4.8 months. This study showed that there is a divergence between drug sponsor's incremental cost–effectiveness ratio (ICER) and CADTH revised ICER leading to a price reduction to meet the $50,000/QALY threshold. For the submissions with clear clinical benefit the median length of engagement (2.5 vs 3.3 months) and median length of negotiation (3.1 vs 3.6 months) were slightly shorter compared with the submissions where uncertainties were noted in the clinical benefit according to CADTH. This study shows that using a $50,000 per QALY threshold for oncology products potentially impacts timely access to life saving medications.

Excerpts from Einar Schleef’s "Droge Faust Parsifal" (Drugs Faust Parsifal)
Authors: Hohman Greg
Published: April 2024

Arguably the most important books by Einar Schleef (1944-2001) are his novel Gertrud, a monologue narrated by his fictionalized mother, his diaries, and the work excerpted here, Droge Faust Parsifal (Drugs Faust Parsifal, 1997). Schleef also wrote plays and short stories, and was a theater director, set and costume designer, actor, illustrator, painter, and photographer. His work deserves a wide readership, yet only a story and a play have been translated into English (Buchner 1982, 130-138; Vivis 1987). Drugs Faust Parsifal’s 500 pages are autobiography, theater history, dramaturgy and cultural essay in one. It won the City of Bremen Literature Prize in 1998 and was adapted for the stage in 2011 by Armin Petras. The selected passages from Drugs, which are somewhat anomalous in a book mainly about dramaturgy, concern Schleef’s personal struggles; they have historical relevance and show his linguistic dexterity, articulated in his “suffering language, a language for suffering” (Windrich 2009, 481). Both as child and adult, he is an observer of a postwar society divided against itself.

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Maintenance Doses of Caffeine Citrate on Tracheal Tube Removal and Apnea After it in Premature Infants Hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Raeisi Estabragh Elahe , Bahman Bijari Bahareh , Jamali Zahra , Sabzevari Fatemeh , Eslamian Mahdieh , Nikvarz Marjan , Raeisi Estabragh Mohammad Amin , Daei Parizi Zahra
Published: April 2024

Background: Respiratory distress ranks among the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in premature infants, with intubation and mechanical ventilation being prominent aggressive treatments. Caffeine citrate, a widely used methylxanthine, treats apnea of prematurity in such infants. However, the efficacy of high caffeine doses remains contentious. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and side effects of maintenance doses of caffeine citrate in facilitating tracheal tube removal and reducing subsequent apnea episodes in premature infants in neonatal intensive care units. Methods: Conducted as a randomized clinical trial at Afzalipur Hospital in Kerman, Iran, in 2023, this study involved eighty neonates with gestational ages under 35 weeks. They were divided into two groups: One received an initial caffeine citrate dose of 20 mg/kg followed by a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg per day until the infant exhibited no apnea for at least 7 days post-extubation, while the other group received a maintenance dose of 10 mg/kg. Variables such as gestational age, sex, weight, and Apgar scores at one and five minutes post-birth were analyzed. The study assessed the effectiveness of caffeine citrate doses in terms of tracheal tube removal and reduction in apnea incidents, with secondary outcomes including patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), feeding intolerance, and tachycardia. Due to data non-normality, non-parametric tests were utilized for mean comparisons and the chi-Square test for qualitative variables and relationships (P-value < 0.05). Results: The findings revealed no significant differences in hospital stay duration, time until separation from the device, Apgar scores at one and five minutes post-birth, or the incidence of PDA, NEC, BPD, and feeding intolerance between the two groups. However, the incidence of tachycardia was notably higher in the group receiving the higher caffeine dose (P-value = 0.026). Conclusions: While the incidence of tachycardia was significantly higher in infants receiving a maintenance dose of 10 mg/kg, there was no observed difference in the efficacy of the two caffeine doses. Therefore, a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg of caffeine citrate emerges as a more favorable treatment option.
Dermatological Manifestations of Rheumatological Diseases in Children: A Review Article
Authors: Sood Tanya , Gothwal Sunil , Kumar Sulaniya Pawan
Published: April 2024

: Rheumatological disorders are considered rare in children, with a global incidence of 2% - 5%. However, this number may be higher in developing countries due to underreporting. Approximately 10% - 20% of all rheumatological disorders in adults present initially during pediatric age. Rheumatological diseases exhibit a wide array of clinical presentations involving the skin, musculoskeletal system, vasculature, and various organ systems. Skin manifestations may serve as crucial clinical features in rheumatological diseases during the initial presentation. Rheumatic diseases with diverse dermatological manifestations are well-documented. Thorough and meticulous skin examination by pediatric rheumatologists is essential for accurate diagnosis and early treatment of these diseases. Our review proposes a collaborative approach between pediatric rheumatology and dermatology for managing such cases in the future.
A Scoping Review of Webcam Eye Tracking in Learning and Education
Authors: Dostálová Nicol , Plch Lukáš
Published: April 2024

The use of eye tracking in educational research has shown great potential in recent decades. There are various approaches to the usage of eye tracking technology in this area, including investigation of self-regulated learning from different types of learning environments. Nonetheless, the majority of published research studies have one tremendous limitation: using expensive remote or tower-based eye trackers to provide high-quality data in laboratory conditions. Now, new webcam eye trackers may offer an easily affordable approach allowing eye tracking measurements in the real environment, such as the investigation of learning behavior in online learning environments. The main aim of this scoping review is to explore the use of webcam eye tracking technology in the field of learning and education. We established three specific purposes: 1) to introduce educational topics being explored using webcam eye tracking, 2) to discuss the methodological aspects when exploring educational topics with webcam eye tracking, and 3) to investigate the eye tracking aspects used for the analysis. To do this, we analyzed 16 studies that used webcam eye tracking. The results of the scoping review show that 1) selected studies focus mainly on students’ behavior in online learning environments, such as engagement, lack of attention, cheating and others; 2) a wide range of studies aimed at the development of automatized detection tools; and 3) studies are mainly focused on extracting raw and event data features using them mostly for automatized detection purposes.
Rasa Analysis of Girish Karnad's Hayavadana
Authors: Kariya Disha
Published: April 2024

Rasa is an aesthetic feeling aroused in the reader or spectator when he witnesses an effective presentation of art. Sage Bharata in ancient India pioneered and Abhinav Gupta elaborated the theory of Rasa. According to the Rasa Sutra, rasa nispattih is a result of the conjunction of vibhāva, anubhāva, and Vyābhicāribhāva, which appeals to the Sthāyibhāva and leads to rasa realization. Hayavadana is a two-act play, originally written in Kannada by Girish Karnad. He himself has translated the play Hayavadana in English. There are two stories, one is of two best friends, Kapila and Devadatta, and a lady named Padmini, another is about a horse headed man- in search of completeness. Author has used various dramatic techniques like, Narrator/ Sutradhar, Puppets, Use of masks, and subplots. Any literary work consists of Rasa in it. In this research paper, the researcher wishes to study Hayavadana in the light of Rasa Theory. This play has already been studied from different perspectives like myth, realism, identity crisis, portrayal of woman, and incompleteness. There is a scope to study this Indian work of art in English from the point of view of Indian Poetics, specifically Rasa Theory.
Mobile Ubiquitous Learning is the Need of the Hour for English Language Teaching during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Mukherjee Triparna
Published: April 2024

"All people naturally want to know" is how one of the world's greatest thinkers, Aristotle, begins his well-known book Metaphysics (65). Humans are recognised to possess a wide range of potential skills in the modern day. Among these skills, knowledge, learning, and curiosity surface during a person's growth and take shape under the impact of their surroundings. Our understanding comes from the realm of sensations. In the same book, Aristotle discusses the value of the senses and offers the proverb, "Who loses a sense loses a world” (68). He stresses the value of the senses to learn by noting that they are vital for comprehending the cosmos and what is happening. He stresses the use of the senses to learn by stating that "science is based on the senses, but senses are not science," noting that "the senses are an important aid in understanding the universe and what is happening" but also acknowledging that "the senses can be misleading from time to time” (70).
BREAKING THE STEREOTYPES: A STUDY ON THE MALAYALAM MOVIE JAYA JAYA JAYA JAYA HEY
Authors: Antony Ms. Priya
Published: April 2024

A gender stereotype is an oversimplified belief or view about the characteristics, abilities, or roles that men and women should or should not possess or do. When a gender stereotype prevents men and women from pursuing their professional goals, growing as individuals, or making life decisions, it is damaging. Gender stereotyping is the practice of appointing specific characteristics or duties to a man or woman just because they are members of the same social group. This recently released Mollywood movie humorously captures the various patriarchal stereotypes/mindsets that a girl usually encounters from her childhood till her adulthood. It also signalled the start of a brand-new subgenre whereby directors could examine the tacit and nuanced methods society uses to oppress women. The genre specializes in highlighting the shortcomings in our societal conventions, which appear gentle at first glance but reveal their inherent cruelty upon closer examination. The film explores how a person like Rajesh never change, regardless of the circumstances, in addition to the amount of transformation Jaya the protagonist experiences. The preferential treatment given to a male child in a family is a topic that is spoken about and debated over for years. The movie is a reminder that such incidents still exist. But when Jaya, an ordinary girl with no family support, no degrees and no money signs the divorce petition, it is a nudge for society to wake up and accept that ‘happily ever afters’ are sometimes just a fairy tale. Here, we witness when gender stereotyping leads to a violation or violations of fundamental freedoms and human rights, it is wrong.
Aravind Adiga’s Last Man in Tower: The Locus of Ambivalence in Modern India
Authors: Dabhi Mr. Vipul
Published: April 2024

The social institutions are dying from the morbid nature of capitalism. Capitalism proliferates the surreptitious credo and consumes the pillar of the whole nation. Furthermore, at present, many institutions are used to perpetuate capitalist ideology among the youth of a nation. The rise of the neoliberal agenda keeps propagating the belief that it is not that hard to find success if one works hard enough, normalizing the notion that the youth should blame themselves for their failures. However, the consequences are totally opposite and cruel. This leads to an ambivalent state of mind. In addition, academic institutions attempt to resist such a juggernaut. But it seems to be losing credibility by succumbing to the individualized rise. Similarly, Last Man In Tower by Aravind Adiga documents the rivalry of two men who are interested in owning the same flat in Mumbai. The novel sees neighbour turn against neighbour as their determination to secure the flat, each for his own purposes, causes them to participate in increasingly dastardly schemes. The novel revolves around the theme of greed and how it has the power to drive us to do things of which we never dreamed we were capable. The core essence of this paper is to focus upon the factors that led to the ambiguous state of mind among the people of the "Vishram Society" and what types of solutions have been offered to the so-called "Vishramites" by the capitalist and ambiguous Dharmen Shah. Not only that, Masterji, the representative of academia, persists in the socialistic norms but gets murdered by his own society members. Things become more horrible when all the members get what they were willing to give but yet everyone is suffering from guilt. It exposes the sense of self in a globalised world that either forces assassination, murder, or suicide. Although slower economic growth, widening inequality, societal divisions, amending laws, "individual happiness” raise disturbing questions about contemporary ideas of national development, Maybe this is an era of indiscriminate capitalism. Here Adiga leaves us with an ambiguous question. "Who is right—the champions of idealism or the practical developers of glittering cities that promise to take India out of centuries of backwardness?"

Shakespeare and Adaptation: Reading the Plague
Authors: Raval Dr. Rohal
Published: April 2024

The present paper analyzes Shakespeare’s reading of the contemporary social reality of England, especially London, as a (source) text troubled with plague outbreaks, contagion, dissemination, and enforced quarantines. The numerous references to plague in the language and narrative of the plays reflects how the playwright adapts the traumatic experiences associated with it through allusion, dialogue, metaphor, plot device, and conflation with storytelling itself. From an Adaptation Studies perspective, these references and allusions reveal Shakespeare as a master adapter of not only prior written texts, but also of contemporary events that had a significant impact on the lives of the Elizabethan populace.
Technology Integration in English Teaching to Undergraduate Students in India
Authors: Balo Ritwik
Published: April 2024

In a world increasingly interconnected by digital means, the role of English as a lingua franca is undeniable, especially in a diverse country like India. This paper explores the intricate relationship between English Language Teaching (ELT) and technology integration in the Indian educational landscape. By examining historical trends and current challenges, this study underscores the transformative potential of technology in enhancing ELT. Nearly every facet of life today has been affected by technology and education is no exception to its effects. Technology has changed learning fundamentally in several ways. To begin with, it has substantially widened access to education. When printing had not yet been invented, books were rare and only a handful of elites had access to education. Even worse, in order to get an education, learners had to travel to centers of learning which were often hundreds of miles away. History is full of examples of great centers of learning, such as Florence, Constantinople, and Nalanda, among others, where students gathered from far off countries, even continents. Overcoming the physical constraints alone was a herculean task and it is widely believed that technology has simply eradicated this barrier altogether. For a developing country such as India, which is still in the process of overcoming the social inequalities of caste, class, gender, and ethnicity, technology has poised itself as the great equalizer. It has laid the foundations of equality, if not equity, like never before.
Integrating Technology for a Meaningful and Engaging Language Classroom Experience
Authors: Barad Jheel
Published: April 2024

Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) is a student-centered approach to language education that focuses on engaging learners in meaningful communicative tasks. This method prioritizes using authentic language in real-life situations over the traditional rote memorization of grammar rules and vocabulary. In a TBLT classroom, students work on tasks that simulate the language use they will encounter in real life, developing their ability to communicate effectively in the target language. As noted by the prominent language teaching expert, John Trim, "Task-based language teaching offers a more natural and effective way of learning a foreign language, providing a focus on meaning and use, rather than on form." This paper will explore the principles and practices of TBLT and its applications in content-based language teaching. Along with designing and implementing task-based activities that balance language development with acquiring content knowledge, using tools such as ChatGPT, Blogger, and Mentimeter quizzes. These tools support TBLT by providing students with authentic language use opportunities, promoting student engagement, and facilitating formative assessment. By incorporating these tools into the language classroom, teachers can create a student-centered learning environment that supports language development and helps students achieve their language learning goals.

It delves into the increasing demands and disorientations faced by educational systems in adapting to the rapid advancements of this century. The study investigates the pivotal role of integrating ELT with ICT as a solution to meet these challenges. By examining the complementarity of ELT and ICT, this research seeks to provide insights and recommendations for educators and provides educational strategies for the evolving needs of learners in the digital era. Applications of ICT in ELT can be practiced to the influence of the students learning English language and literature which create several prospects of learning opportunities such as exploring, creating, reflecting, evaluating, presenting and communicating. The primary objectives of this research are to: Evaluate how ICT is incorporated into ELT to fulfil changing demands in education. Examine how ICT and ELT can work together to improve the study of English language and literature. Determine tactics and suggestions that instructors can use to successfully integrate ICT into ELT. The study concludes that ICTs are very useful for the learner in their teaching and learning activities such as preparing and presenting their academic lessons and exercises. The method includes case studies that highlight effective implementations in addition to a thorough analysis of the body of research on ICT integration in ELT. However, it is found that application of ICT in ELT requires the skilled educator to especially at the secondary and higher secondary level. Trained educators can access a variety of ICT tools in ELT.

Updating the morphological phylogenetics of Nopinae (Araneae: Caponiidae): novel terminals and characters, with two new species
Authors: Sánchez-Ruiz Alexander , Bonaldo Alexandre B.
Published: April 2024

A re-analysis of the morphological phylogeny of the Nopinae is made, based on an update in the description of Aamunops Galán-Sánchez & Álvarez-Padilla, 2022 and the addition of the recently described genera Nopsma Sánchez-Ruiz, Brescovit & Bonaldo, 2020 and Roddemberryus Sánchez-Ruiz & Bonaldo, 2023. Two new species, Aamunops hoof sp. nov. (male) and Aamunops yiselae sp. nov. (male and female), are also described, which allows a better understanding of the genus morphology and resulted in an emended diagnosis. The description of Aamunops has been updated to include several characteristics of the ultrastructural morphology, legs, chelicerae, palps and female genitalia. The inclusion of these new characters of Aamunops along with those of Nopsma and Roddemberryus in the previous data matrix resulted in a new, completely different hypothesis of the relationships of the nopine genera: Nopsma is part of a group formed by Cubanops and Nyetnops, while Aamunops and Roddemberryus are grouped with representatives of Tarsonops. The four-eyed Nopsides ceralbonus Chamberlin, 1924 was recovered as the most basal species of Nopinae. The relationships among genera of Nopinae and the phylogenetic position of three species, whose taxonomic position is doubtful (Cubanops luquillo Sánchez-Ruiz, Brescovit & Alayón, 2015, Orthonops confuso Galán-Sánchez & Álvarez-Padilla, 2022 and Tarsonops irataylori Bond & Taylor, 2013), is also discussed.

A Model of Cooperation for a United Europe Avant la Lettre. Premises and Evolution of the Little Entente in a New Paradigm: the Pact of Organization (1933)
Authors:   SCOSAAR, Iliescu Mircea
Published: April 2024

The end of the First World War determined structural changes on the map of Europe, resulting from the disintegration of the Great Empires and the emergence of new state actors. A paradigm shift arrived, revolving around the liberal model, the Wilsonian vision summarized in the “14 points”, the principles, values and the democratic framework underpinning the Covenant of the League of Nations and the activity of the Geneva forum. The new model for building peace and interstate relations generated, besides clear benefits, several challenges. They were more acutely experienced by Romania and the states in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly driven to preserve the status quo, combat revisionism and build lasting alliances.
