Safeguarding and Agency: Methodological Tensions in Conducting Research with Survivors of Sexual Violence in Universities
Authors: Shannon Erin R.
Published: August 2022

This paper examines the tension between safeguarding measures and participant agency in conducting feminist interviews with survivors of sexual violence in universities. There is a core contradiction inherent in feminist research of gender-related violence, including sexual violence, because participants have been traumatized: Research with survivors of violence must enact appropriate safeguarding measures to ensure their emotional wellbeing, yet in designing these safeguarding measures, researchers must also ensure that survivor participants can exert agency within the research process. These phenomena are often at odds as safeguarding—the work of protecting participants through limiting their exposure to upsetting stimuli—appears to circumscribe participant agency, or a participant’s ability to make informed choices for themselves that respond to and change the structures in which they are situated. Using part of my doctoral thesis research’s methodology, I detail the safeguarding measures I implemented for participants as well as highlight how and where I attempted to build in agential engagement for survivor participants, and whether, or how often, survivors took up these options. The article concludes by suggesting ways gender-related violence research more broadly can reflect on and continue to interrogate how researchers balance safeguarding requirements while enabling survivors to assert their agency in the research process.

Published: August 2022

NIR spectrometers based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) have become available in the market, with lower prices and smaller dimensions than traditional spectrometers. MEMS technology allows for miniaturizing and reduces the cost of the spectrometers, allowing a wider use for agricultural consultants, technicians, and scientific researchers. The aim of this work was to evaluate an innovative FT-NIR MEMS spectrometer, namely the Neospectra Scanner (NS), covering the range from 1350 to 2500 nm. The assessment was performed by comparing the accuracy of prediction of soil organic carbon, texture fractions, and total calcium carbonate, obtained with NS, with that of a standard full VIS-NIR spectrometer, namely the ASD-Fieldspec Fr Pro (AF). A dataset of 182 soil samples, dried and sieved at 2 mm, collected from 4 different agricultural areas of Italy were scanned with both devices. AF showed slightly higher R2 and lower prediction error (RMSEP) than NS for all soil features, but the accuracy of the two instruments can be considered comparable. Removing the 350–1350 nm range from VIS-NIR spectra of AF, i.e., as to have the same spectral range of NS, made the prediction accuracy of AF reduced spectra (1350–2500 nm) slightly lower than that of NS. This demonstrates that the lower accuracy of the NS in soil features prediction is not due to the lower resolution of the spectra, but probably due to the lack of visible and beginning of the NIR range (350–1300 nm).

Published: August 2022

Teaching and learning online is quite challenging. Both require an additional capacity and effort to withstand ongoing engagement in a virtual learning environment. Nonetheless, there have been cases of dissatisfaction with virtual learning environments due to the lack of engagement and poor interaction between the instructor, students, and content, which may affect how students learn online. This study presents a cross-sectional survey that was designed to re-examine the theoretical model of the Community of Inquiry (CoI), and to examine the structure of course satisfaction using SmartPLS 3.3.8 for multivariate statistical analysis. The CoI and the course satisfaction instruments were adapted in this study. The reflections of the CoI are then assumed to form type II second-order constructs to determine their effect on student satisfaction with the course. The findings revealed that teaching, social, and cognitive presence in the CoI have a significant influence on students’ satisfaction with the courses that they are enrolled in. These results provide a direction for further research on the CoI in online learning by extending a framework that incorporates online learners as one of the essential stakeholders in education. Therefore, the results presented here are only applicable to certain courses, and it would be meaningful to investigate academic achievement and motivation, and to compare them between specific courses or subjects to find out which courses have lower or higher levels of presence.

Published: August 2022

The development of cross-border e-commerce is generally faced with problems such as high freight, long transportation time, and low service level. However, overseas warehouses can effectively solve the above problems to a certain extent, and they can improve consumer satisfaction. Therefore, this paper proposed a method combined with the entropy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (E-TOPSIS) model and complex network analysis theory to make a comprehensive determination of overseas warehouse locations for China’s e-commerce exports in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative (B&R). We selected 62 countries along the B&R as pre-candidates for overseas warehouse locations and then evaluated the significance of each node in cross-border e-commerce for Chinese export products. Finally, 15 countries were identified as the optimal overseas warehouse locations for Chinese export products along the B&R. The results can provide reference for overseas warehouse deployment of Chinese cross-border e-commerce enterprises as well as the development and the construction of the B&R.

Published: August 2022

Given the negative externalities of the traditional productive system, sustainable development has become a productive alternative that attempts to improve the quality of life of present and future generations. The aim of this research was to understand the degree of perception and knowledge of sustainability of university students attending different courses, who represent future Argentinian professionals. A survey was conducted on a representative sample of those enrolled in the faculties of Agricultural, Economic, and Social Sciences of the National University of Lomas de Zamora, Buenos Aires. The results showed that, in terms of awareness, the environmental dimension of sustainability stands out above the others. Sustainability involves preserving natural resources, favoring biodiversity, reducing environmental risks, and finding a balance between the development of humanity and care for the environment. Only 10% of the respondents identified the three sustainability dimensions contemporaneously, and most of these individuals were not informed through university courses. No substantial differences were found in the knowledge of sustainability among students of different faculties. Universities, as trainers of professionals and leaders, should further develop the subject in their curricula, to improve knowledge of sustainability, so that graduates can better face future professional challenges. Similarly, students should strive to know about sustainability and its components to defend and improve it in all areas of work.

The effectiveness of heavy metal-tolerant microorganisms for supporting plant growth needs to be understood before it can be used as a soil bioremediation agent. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of heavy metal tolerant microorganisms on the growth of “Narra” seedling (Pterocarpus indicus Wild). Three heavy metals-resistant (Pb, Cd, and Cu) rhizobacteria from a copper (Cu) mined-out site in Marinduque, Philippines showed plant growth promotion in vitro. A treatment combination of formula inoculant A (CuNFbM 4.1, MGR 333), B (CuNFbM 4.1, MGR 333, PbSM 2.1), and O (Uninoculated); compost (0%, 4%); and lime + inorganic fertilizer {without or with lime and inorganic fertilizer (LF0; LF1)} were applied to Narra seedlings planted on 445 mg/kg Cu-contaminated soil. Lime (2 mg/ha) and the recommended dose of soybean inorganic fertilizer were used as positive controls to evaluate the ability of inoculations and composts to promote the growth and used as positive controls to evaluate the ability of inoculants and composts to promote the growth and copper accumulation of narra in greenhouse experiments. All treatment combinations resulted in significant differences in plant height, leaf number, stem diameter, shoot and root dry weight, as well as, shoot, root Cu content, and plant Cu uptake of 13-week-old “Narra”. Inoculated “Narra” could thrive better in mine-degraded soil containing 445 ppm Cu with 4% compost. Inoculant B demonstrated the best plant performance while Pseudomonas synxantha (PbSM 2.1) probably increases the plant’s growth due to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase it produces. Accumulation of Cu was higher in the root compared other plant parts. More research is necessary to elucidate the mechanism of plant growth promotion and heavy metal re mediation by P. synxantha.

Published: August 2022

Global climate change has become a hot topic in today’s international political, economic, environmental and diplomatic arenas. China has implemented a series of strategies, measures and actions to cope with climate change, which has promoted industrial transformation and human resource adjustment in China’s state-owned forest areas. However, little is known about the role of current human resource allocation in adaptation to climate change in the state-owned forest farm of China. To address these gaps, this study calculated the current situation of human resource structure and the contribution rate of three industries to the allocation of human resources and the evaluation model of coordinated fitness to the climate changes in key state-owned forest farms. The results show that: (1) The current situation of talent in key state-owned forest areas shows a shortage of total amount, a shortage of high-level and highly educated talents, and aging of talents. (2) The coefficient of structural deviation increased and the coefficient of structural-change synergy kept decreasing, indicating that the coordination between human resource allocation and industrial structure in key state-owned forest areas nowadays is only at the intermediate level of synergistic fitness. The paper highlights the trained-professional human resource and the industrial structure changes in the context of climate change as the main limited factors for the key state-owned forest farms of China. Increasing the education investment for climate change and the economic income for the employees are suggested to be promoted for policy makers in future.

Based on the expedition materials received by the authors in 2014, the article reveals the cultural and psychological characteristics of the sub-ethnic group of Kryashen-pagans in the village of old Tyaberdino, the Republic of Tatarstan. The purpose of the article is to study the ethnocultural characteristics of the Kryashen pagans. The main attention in the article is paid to the traditional rituals and customs of the life cycle, and the issues of ethnic self-awareness and self-identification of “unbaptized Kryashens” are raised. The article demonstrates the way paganism and Christianity are closely intertwined in the Kryashen calendar, festive and everyday traditions, folk beliefs and customs. First of all, such a synthesis of pagan and Christian rituals is due to the geographical location of the area and interaction with neighboring peoples. Secondly, during the periods of mass Christianization, paganism was not completely ousted from the consciousness of the Kryashen people, and Christianity was not fully understood yet. The authors of the article also describe the sacred rituals and places of worship that have survived at present among the Kryashen pagans. The materials of this article can be useful for ethnologists, social and cultural anthropologists, historians, museologists and culturologists, as well as anyone interested in this topic.

The urgency of the investigated problem is caused by the state regulation of foreign economic relations is one of the priority political tasks. In the first half of the XIX century, when the era of colonial world division ended, the spheres of influence and colonial expansion of the world powers were outlined. During this period, rivalry with England in Central Asia, Iran and Transcaucasia proved strategically important to Russia. These territories had long been economic partners for Russia. The paper aims to show the role of specially created bodies in the Russian Empire in regulating trade and economic relations of the state with the countries of Central Asia, using general scientific and special-historical methods. The leading methods in the presented study are the method of institutional analysis, problem analysis, and comparative-historical method. Results show that In 1819, the Asia Department and the Asia Committee were established within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs due to reorganizations and the search for the best solution to the urgent problems of economic cooperation with Asian countries. A main task of regulating economic relations was customs and tariff regulation. The compilation and enactment of the Asian Tariff was central to the activities of the bodies that controlled Russian-Asian trade.

The article provides an interpretation of the term “principle of forensic activity”. Theoretical approaches to the essence and legal nature of the principles of “legality”, “independence”, “objectivity”, “completeness” are disclosed. A comparative analysis of the principles of forensic activities defined in the bills submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. It has been established that the list of such principles is proposed to be ex-
panded, and some of their names to be clarified. The study of the practice of forensic
science activities allowed us to give examples of violations by forensic experts of certain
fundamental principles. A systematic analysis of domestic legislative acts, methods for
conducting forensic economic experts on relevant issues, specialized literature, as well
as expert practice, made it possible to make separate proposals for improving the theo-
retical and legal foundations for conducting forensic examinations. It is substantiated that the expert opinion should contain a detailed description of the research conducted by the expert, the conclusions drawn from their results, reasonable answers to questions that are asked to the expert, however, his conclusion on them cannot go beyond the expert's special knowledge in accordance with Part 4 of Art. 101 Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine.

Authors: Ong Siew Chin , Vasan Thakumar Annushiah
Published: August 2022

Background: Dietary behavior applying theory-based approaches is seldom documented in the general adult population. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the eating behavior of Malaysian adults and the demographic factors that were associated with positive eating habits. Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, the convenience sampling technique was used to sample Malaysian adults aged 18 or older. The questionnaire was based on constructs from Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), which has six scales or constructs, including self-efficacy, intentions, situation, social support, behavioral strategies, and outcome expectations and expectancies. All the six constructs demonstrated adequate model fit using confirmatory analysis fit by the developers and good internal reliability using Cronbach’s alpha in this study. The data were descriptively analyzed, and subsequently, logistic regressions were performed, assessing demographic factors associated with healthy eating habits. The variables achieving a P value<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 461 respondents completed the questionnaire. Good social support (83.30%), outcome expectations (90.24%) and expectancies (92.41%), and the situation in relation to healthy eating (88.94%) were frequently observed among the respondents. The sentence has been revised to express the idea more clearly. "However, the observations in these dimensions were not necessarily translated into good self-efficacy (33.41%), intentions (39.91%), and behavioral strategies relating to healthy eating (53.15%). Additionally, demographic variables such as ethnicity, age, and region were significantly associated with the positive attitude observed on the questionnaire constructs. Conclusion: In summary, the findings of the study revealed that many Malaysians have poor self-efficacy, intentions, and behavioral strategies when it came to eating healthy. The demographic factors significantly associated with dietary behaviors should be targeted in future interventional studies and awareness programs.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Aqueous extract of Lagerstroemia speciosa (EALS) (Lythraceae) is widely used to treat diabetes. This plant has been shown an in vitro thrombolytic activity that indicates its potential to prevent the formation of blood clots in vivo. Thus, this study was undertaken to evaluate the antithrombotic and antihemolytic effects of EALS. Methods: Rats of both sexes (200 ± 5 g) were divided into five groups of six animals. Each group received orally distilled water, EALS (250, 500, 1000 mg/kg), and acetylsalicylic acid (100 mg/kg) for five days. After treatment, the FeCl3-induced arterial thrombus formation method was used to determine occlusion time. A coagulometer was used to detect activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT). Rabbit blood was used to determine clot lysis activity in vitro and antihemolytic activity using the 2,2-azobis hydrochloride (2-methylpropionamidine) (AAPH) method. Results: EALS increased the occlusion time in a dose-dependent manner. At the dose of 1000 mg/kg, EALS increased the occlusion time significantly, from 4.59 ± 2.45 minutes to 15.52 ± 2.38 minutes (P<0.01). At high concentrations (1-4 mg/mL), EALS showed a significant increase in aPPT and PT (P<0.05). Streptokinase and EALS (4 mg/mL) induced significant clot lysis with percentage values of 78.48 ± 2.2 % and 49.5 ± 1.53 %, respectively (P<0.001). EALS inhibited AAPH-induced hemolysis. Conclusion: EALS exhibited antithrombotic and antihemolytic activities. The antithrombotic property of the plant could be attributed to its anticoagulant and thrombolytic activities. Regular consumption of L. speciosa leaves may prevent or treat thrombotic diseases.

Tamil poets have created, named, categorized, summarized and preserved dialects based on dialects in order to preserve the language they speak. Before exploring the importance of numbers in language it is necessary to know the design of grammatical literature. It is possible that the Sanskrit poets called the text grammar of the words when they recorded the language, they created in the journals so that it would be known to the world, and the textual literature of the world empirical biographies based on his linguistic ability. By learning the language of counting and writing as the body and soul direct the human being, it is possible to know through the Tamil numerals that the numbers representing the measurements are also designed while the letters are being created. The purpose of the article is to give an overview of the measurements that have taken place in human life, with descriptions of messages, numbers, and nouns. The importance of numbers has been highlighted in explaining the alphabetical order of the letters and the alphabetical alphabets created for the Tamil language under the heading of letters and numbers, as well as the design of the vowels formed with the primary letters. The use of numbers in the classification of letters by alphabetical order is illustrated by the use of numbers to distinguish vowel letters into vowel, melody, and interjection types, and to point and quote characters. The words created for measurements such as size and mass are the primary letters of the words and the reasons for giving a special place to measurements in Tamil are explained. In order to give Tamil a lofty place in the world languages ​​in the end, there are poems in which the Tamils ​​use their numbers to indicate the year of publication, the year of an action, the time of action, and the number of soldiers involved in the war. The conclusion of the study is outlined.
Theories of Aseevagam in Tamil Philosophy

Naturally occurring minerals are grouped into five types of geological formations. Other substances that may be present in Fivefold are called constituents. The concepts of God and soul based on Vedic and Upanishad principles are not found anywhere in Tolkappiyam or Sangam literature. Nature is the unadulterated first philosophical position of the Tamils ​​in their life. It can be seen that the attempt to search for causes and factors in the dynamic nature of nature has paved the way for the emergence of philosophy and theoretical concepts. In this way, priming the object and priming the concept is taking place through time. Although Jainism, Buddhism, and Vedicism can be found in the Tamil philosophical tradition, this article has explored the auspicious thoughts that had already strengthened.

All of these factors were analysed using frequency analysis, descriptive analysis, reliability analysis, multiple regression analysis and correlation analysis. The results show that there is a significant relationship between customer experience and customer expectation and customer loyalty. Whereas, customer outreach and trendiness showed insignificant results towards customer loyalty. Customer expectation was the variable that has the strongest impact on customer loyalty. This finding is aligned with past research and proves that when the gap of customers’ expectations and final product or services are reduced, they will turn to be a loyal customer to the brand and support the brand continuously.
No Scholars in the West
Authors: Goshey Emily
Published: August 2022

Seeking knowledge from scholars is an imperative for Salafis. But what does that mean for Salafis in the West who deny that there are  any scholars among them? Since the 1960s, Western Muslims have been taking advantage of the scholarships available for Islamic  studies programs in Saudi Arabia. A steady stream of students has gone, studied with leading Salafi scholars in the heart of the Muslim world, and returned home to promulgate Salafi teachings and lead their communities. Why do none of these former students count as  scholars? If they are not scholars, then what is the nature of their role as local leaders? To answer these questions, this study looks  closely at the predominantly African American Salafi affiliate community in Philadelphia. The arguments here contribute to a growing  body of literature on global Salafism and specifically studies of so-called Madkhalī communities tied to the Islamic University of  Medina. Primary fieldwork from 2010 to 2013 and interviews as recent as 2021 inform the conclusion that this community’s pattern of knowledge transmission perpetuates and even celebrates the continual reliance of Philadelphia’s Salafis on scholars abroad.
Arabic Conquests and Early Islamic Historiography: The Futuh al-Buldan of al-Baladhuri (by Ryan Lynch)
Authors: Cebeci Ali
Published: August 2022

Ryan Lynch’s Arabic Conquests and Early Islamic Historiography: The Futuh al-Buldan of al-Baladhuri offers a new analysis of the famous history Kitāb Futūḥ al-buldān (The Book of the Conquest of Lands) by the 3rd/9th century Abbasid scholar Aḥmad b. Yaḥyā al- Balādhurī (d. ca. 279/892). Lynch handles the source well, supporting his own close reading of the text with a wealth of references to offer nuanced insight into the purpose, context, and content of this seminal source on early Islamic governance. His core thesis is that  Balādhurī composed his text as a handbook for the Abbasid court officials who had been struggling to balance the court budget,  collect provincial taxes,  and keep the imperial administrative system running in a politically-distraught time. Although Lynch’s argument is not entirely new,  his study, which is based on an admirably detailed analysis of Balādhurī’s work, will most likely serve as the standard reference book in the field.

Objetivo: avaliar a capacidade funcional e o medo de cair em idosos cadastrados em uma unidade de saúde da família. Método: estudo descritivo e transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em janeiro de 2019, no domicílio de 157 idosos cadastrados em uma unidade de saúde da família do município de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Para a coleta foi utilizado um instrumento semiestruturado, composto de questões sociodemográficas, histórico de quedas, o índice de Barthel e a Escala Internacional de Eficácia em Quedas. A análise foi efetivada pela estatística descritiva e inferencial, utilizando-se o teste de correlação de Spearman. Resultados: houve correlação entre atividades que compõem a análise da capacidade funcional e o medo de cair, em que se observou significância estatística entre elas, verificando-se que quanto menor a capacidade funcional, maior será o medo de cair. Considerações Finais: concluiu-se que, frente ao declínio fisiológico, social e psicológico oriundos do envelhecimento humano, é importante o planejamento de intervenções que abordem o medo de cair em idosos, com vistas a preservar sua capacidade funcional.

Objetivo: analisar o tempo de jejum e tipo de dieta prescrita para reintrodução alimentar no pós-operatório de diferentes especialidades cirúrgicas. Método: estudo quantitativo, retrospectivo, documental e descritivo dos prontuários de pacientes cirúrgicos, com amostra randomizada e estratificada de 464 pacientes, realizado em hospital universitário público de grande porte no Paraná. Realizou-se análise estatística descritiva, apresentando medidas de tendência central e seus intervalos de confiança. Resultados: a média de jejum pós-operatório foi de 9:54h (DP: 6:89), variando de 8 a 30 horas. As clínicas que apresentaram maior tempo de jejum foram cirurgia cardíaca, cirurgia torácica e neurocirurgia, com médias de 18:25h, 14:45h e 12:22h, respectivamente. Quanto à prescrição de dieta no pós-operatório imediato, 51,3% dos pacientes receberam dieta geral, 15,3% dieta leve e 11,9% mantiveram jejum nas primeiras 24 horas após o procedimento cirúrgico. Conclusão: o tempo de jejum encontrado nessa instituição excede as atuais recomendações de protocolos nacionais e internacionais, o que implica aumento de desconfortos para o paciente cirúrgico, como sede, fome e estresse, além da insatisfação com o serviço prestado pela equipe de saúde.

Objetivo: analisar a tendência das internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária em crianças menores de cinco anos de idade, no estado de Minas Gerais. Métodos: estudo ecológico de séries temporais utilizou registros do Sistema de Informação Hospitalar, período de 2008 a 2018. As análises de tendência foram realizadas pelo método de Prais-Winsten para verificar tendências: estacionárias (p > 0,05), decrescentes (p < 0,05 e coeficiente de regressão negativo) ou ascendentes (p < 0,05 e coeficiente de regressão positivo) por região de saúde e por grupo etário (até um ano e de um a quatro anos). Resultados: houve tendência decrescente de internações entre crianças no estado (variação percentual anual = -4,96%; p < 0,05), com redução de internações por gastroenterites infecciosas e complicações, pneumonias bacterianas e asma. Observou-se aumento de internações por anemia; doenças pulmonares e infecções de ouvido, nariz e garganta. Para crianças menores de um ano, foi observado que as internações por doenças preveníveis por imunização e condições sensíveis apresentaram tendência ascendente (ß=5,69 e p < 0,05), com destaque para a sífilis congênita. Conclusões: o cenário de Minas Gerais é similar ao de outros estados brasileiros, nos quais se observa redução de internação de crianças de até cinco anos, com aumento de internações por anemia, doenças pulmonares e infecção de ouvido, nariz e garganta. Ainda que existam melhorias nas práticas e políticas voltadas para a saúde da criança, os achados reforçam o planejamento de ações para o cuidado a agravos preveníveis na atenção primária.

Published: August 2022

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia as a result of reducing insulin secretion of pancreas beta cells or insulin function disorder. Type 2 DM can cause lipid metabolism disorder (dyslipidemia) such as increasing total cholesterol, triglyceride, and decreasing HDL levels. The small and dense , Rafparticle of LDL is susceptible to oxidation, so it makes LDL more atherogenic than other lipoproteins. A high level of LDL is a factor in atherosclerosis. It can be affected by patients’ lifestyles. The aim of this study is to figure out the relation between fasting blood sugar and LDL Cholesterol of Type 2 DM Patients on William Booth Hospital Semarang. This study used secondary data taken from 85 patients from the medical report and laboratory test results of William Booth Hospital Semarang from January to May 2021 that fit inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result data were analyzed by a statistical test with Spearman’s correlation test. The result of this study showed that 96,5% of patients had high levels of fasting blood sugar and 76,4% of high levels of LDL cholesterol, with Spearman's correlation p-value was 0,977. The study concluded that there is no meaningful correlation between fasting blood sugar and LDL cholesterol of type 2 DM patients on William Booth Hospital Semarang.
