Authors: Adeoti  , Akinroluyo, Bankole Isaac
Published: January 2022

This study investigated capital adequacy and Deposit Money Bank's (DMB) Return on Asset (ROA) in Nigeria in which the effect of capital to asset ratio on bank's profit margin and the relationship between solvency and asset turnover was examined. The study population of the study comprised Nigeria deposit money banks listed on the floor of Nigeria Stock Exchange as at 2021. Sample of bank selected was Zenith Plc, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTB), First Bank Nigeria Limited, Access Bank Plc, and United Bank for Africa Plc based on global ranking order and the fact that they are listed on Nigeria Stock Exchange. To determine the effect of capital adequacy on banks performance, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression model was employed the data collected within the period of 2006-2020. The findings of this study revealed coefficient of 0.080034 implies 1% change in capital to asset ratio would lead to 8% increase change in profit margin ratio and p-value of 0.042223 shows that CTA has statistical significant effect on profit margin of the selected banks within the period under study; coefficient of 0.04587 implies 1% change in solvency would lead to 4.58% change in asset turnover of the selected DMBs under the period studied, p-value of 0.0000611 shows that SOLV has statistical significant relationship with ATU of the selected banks within the period under study.  The study recommends bank decision makers should give consideration for its solvency status and capital to asset ratio when investigating factors affecting bank’s actualization objective.  In addition, DMBs in Nigeria should ensure that they maintain above minimum capital to asset ratio level in order to guarantee an efficient profit margin. Also, the ability of DMBs to meet their short and medium term financial obligations must be fortified in order to keep the performance at per.
Keywords: Capital Adequacy, Return on Asset, Capital to Asset Ratio, Solvency, Profit Margin and Asset Turnover.

A parametric model for predicting the current recurrence of the state of the airspace of premises in the conditions that are characteristic of real premises on the basis of the use of an arbitrary plural of dangerous factors of fire. The developed model depends on two parameters that are defined by a priori and affect the result of the recurrence of the recurrence of the conditions of the airspace of the premises. The new scientific result is determined by the theoretical substantiation of the developed model of prediction of recurrence of the growth of the airspaces of the airspace. The proposed model has two properties. The first one is associated with the possibility of use in theoretical studies of the detection of early inflammation of various materials in arbitrary conditions of modern premises. The second one is to practice the real measurements of hazardous fire factors of the airspace of premises. In accordance with the proposed model of prediction of current recurrence of the state of the air environment of premises in the fire of materials based on the measurement of an arbitrary set of dangerous fire factors, a control algorithm of the method of prevention of emergency situations as a result of fires in premises is developed. The control algorithm consists of six successive functionally linked blocks. The developed control algorithm allows us to offer an appropriate method for preventing emergencies as a result of fire in premises by predicting the recurrence of appliance of the airspace of the premises, which occurs on the basis of the current discrete measurement of an arbitrary plurality of dangerous fire factors. The procedure for application of the proposed method includes six successive functional procedural elements.

Authors:   Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Kaur Reshminder
Published: January 2022

In the quest to develop an exceptional Aviation English (AE) module for aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs), it is imperative to determine the specific English language learning needs of those majoring in aircraft maintenance. This study aimed to identify the English language skills AMEs use in their workplace. Meanwhile, the findings allowed module developers and language instructors to tailor a content-specific module that met future AMEs' language needs and helped improve their language proficiency. The qualitative study was performed at the University Kuala Lumpur Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology (UniKL MIAT). Data were collected using three types of instruments, namely i) interviews; ii) interaction analysis, and iii) text analysis. Based on data collected from six respondents, the findings showed that AMEs require special attention in improving their writing and technical writing ability. Besides, reading is another skill that needs special attention. Those involved in aircraft maintenance must read technical manuals, give instructions, and have good comprehension ability to minimise miscommunication and misinterpretation. Furthermore, although listening and speaking skills are exceptional skills, maintenance engineers' need to master reading comprehension and writing is more than other engineering-related positions. The investigation revealed that aircraft maintenance trainees must be equipped with relevant language skills. The findings would help course module developers and language instructors produce modules that meet the aviation trainees' needs.

Authors: Agarwal Aditi , Kumar Chaturvedi Ramesh , Kumar Yadav Sanjay
Published: January 2022

‘PSB Portal’ is a micro-service digital platform which primarily connects funding needs of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to Banks for business. It is a strategic initiative of SIBDI with five other Public Sector Banks and was launched by Government of India, in November 2018, to provide loans to MSMEs of up to Rs.1 crore. The main motive of this initiative is to ease the process of fund availability to MSMEs and decrease the turnaround time of credit delivery to MSME sector. The new ‘PSB portal’ also makes it possible to provide timely finance at reasonable and competitive rates of interest to MSME sector. MSME sector forms a vital component of the economy in terms of their contribution to employment generation, exports and inclusive growth. One-third of the country's GDP is contributed by more than 50 million MSMEs in India. Thus, the role of MSMEs in the economic and social development of the country is not to be over-looked. There is need for finance that meets the life-cycle needs of MSMEs with a strong oversight mechanism in Banks to see that MSME-related lending policies are implemented at the operating level, is high. Such measures by the Government would serve the purpose of ease of access to funding requirements of MSME’s and also help open new avenues for Banks to increase their business while tapping new customers thereby increasing their priority sector assets. It will make formal banking more inclusive and deepen the roots of financial inclusion via digitization in the economy. After almost after a year of this initiative, on September 5 2019, Retail products (Home Loan Personal Loan and Auto Loan) were also added to the portal to increase the ease of credit to retail customers to further facilitate purchasing power in the economy. This paper will analyse the challenges faced by the Bankers while financing MSMEs via PSB portal and the reasons for rejection of the applications with further prospects of the scheme.
Factors Influencing the Purchase of Individual Health Insurance Policy in Urban India with Special Reference to Visakhapatnam City
Authors: Naidu G. Taviti , Sneha Sri Sandya
Published: January 2022

Post insurance reforms of India witnessed new insurance products in the health sector which were not available before the reforms. The share of health care expenditure to GDP is very low in India compared to other developing nations. Due to the exponential increase in the health care segment, the demand for health insurance product increased. As the demand for health care services is increasing in India it becomes important to study the factors which induce the demand for health insurance. Due to the absence of proper health care system in India, private health care system emerges very strongly and cost per head in health care is increasing very fast. It has become very difficult for lower-middle and middle-class people to afford the cost of health care. This has improved the awareness level of having health insurance to protect them from any unforeseen health cost in near future. I assume and propose that rising cost of health insurance would help people to understand the importance of unforeseen risk in case of health cost and induce to purchase health insurance products. As the cost of health seems to be rising so far In India people are becoming more conscious of health insurance purchase. The change in lifestyle encourages people to take treatment at high-end hospitals. This factor and the rising inflation are making individuals purchase health insurance. The outcome of this study would help the insurers and financial policy makers formulate proper strategies to increase the penetration of health insurance.

Purpose: Pregnancy is often complicated by iron deficiency, affecting negatively thyroid gland physiology. The aim of our study is to investigate parameters of iron and thyroid status during І, ІІ and ІІІ trimester of pregnancy in order to establish potential correlations in their dynamics. Materials and methods: The study involved 61 pregnant women and 43 controls. Their iron and thyroid status was determined by measuring hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (SF), serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Results: Significant differences between pregnant women and the control group were found, indicating an iron deficiency risk: sTfR level was higher, while Hb, ferritin and FT4 levels were lower in pregnant women. Thyroxine correlated positively with Hb (p = 0.016) and ferritin (p = 0.003) in pregnant women. In the I trimester, there was a negative association between sTfR and FT4 (p = 0.013), and in the III trimester, there was a positive association between sTfR and TSH (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: sTfR represented the relationship between iron and thyroid status in the I and III trimester. Iron deficiency was expressed in the III trimester with a positive association between sTfR and TSH. The increased maternal iron requirement (sTfR) correlated with increased TSH secretion induced by decreased thyroxine.
Food insecurity on the college campus
Authors: Lapping Mark
Published: January 2022

It is often said that one’s college years are “the best years of your life.” For a growing number of students facing food insecurity, these years may be anything but. These two very different books provide useful counterpoints on campus food inse­curity, a growing phenomenon only made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. Henry’s volume uses an ethnographic approach of interviewing over 90 students who use the food pantry at her university, the University of North Texas, Denton. Broton and Cady focus on essays and case studies of what a number of institutions are doing to address the issue of campus food insecurity. Together they provide both a balanced treatment of the subject and some remarkably interesting insights and strategies that other college communities can utilize. . . .
RAISING EXPERIMENTAL INFECTION OF PARAMPHISTOMOSIS IN SHEEP UNDER LABORATORY CONDITION
Authors: Hassan Syed Shabih
Published: January 2022

Snails, the intermediate host are the transmitter of trematode infection in ruminants in the endemic areas of Punjab. Under DST-SERC-FAST-Track project(DST, GOI, New Delhi), the survey was conducted mainly in ponds, bank of the River Satluj and Beas its surrounding temporary water bodies, ditches, impoundments, near by tube well sand paddy fields in Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur Kapurthala and Amritsar district of Punjab. A total of 701 snails were collected, and seven species were identified as Indoplanorbis exustus, Gyraulus convexiusculus, Lymnaealuteola, L. auricularia, Bellamya (Vivipara)
bengalensis, Corbicula striatella, and Thiara tuberculata. Out of the total collected snails, 365, 4, 165, 127, 16 and 24 were contributed by I. exustus, G. convexiusculus, Lymnaeasp., B. bengalensis, C. striatella and T. tuberculata respectively. Snails like I. exustus, G. convexiusculus and Lymnaeasp were found to be most prominent in ditches,
impoundments, nearby tube wells and paddy fields which play a very important role in the transmission of most pathogenic diseases like paramphistomosis and schistosomosis in ruminants respectively. The other snails were recorded to be common in bank of the River Satluj and its surrounding temporary water bodies. I. exustusan intermediate host of Paramphistomum spp. were kept in different batches individually in glass tubes as per Leiper's glass tube technique. Snails in bulk were also kept in beaker, surgical tray, earthenpots and petridishes with coloured poly then estrips to harvest
metacercariae. Polythene strips of different colour, green, yellow and pink were used for the encystment of cercariae. These strips were stuck to the inner surface of the petridishes, beakers and surgical tray. Various encystment materials like water plants; lettuce and itsit (Trienthemagovinda) leaves were used. It was observed that maximum attraction of cercariae was towards itsit leaves followed by green and yellow polythene strips. Very few cercariae were also encysted onthe wall of the containers. 185 individuals of I. exustuswere found to be shedding cercariae with the prevalence rate of
55.89%. The cercariae were identified ascerearia of Paramphistomum epiclitum. The collected metacercariae were used for raising the infection in sheep. A total of 12,040 metacercariae was collected from185 infected snails (I. exustus) and kept in polyvinyl tubes (stored at 4°C). These metacercariae were given orally to two sheep for raising paramphistome infection under experimental condition. The animals were subjected with 4000 metacercariae to each sheep. The grass with encysted metacercariae was also collected from thefields for feeding to sheep. Faecal samples examined
microscopically and found positive for paramphistome eggs after 135 days post infection. The experiments confirm the transmission of paramphistome infection in sheep. This disease is highly pathogenic and there is a need to formulate
control and preventive measures for the betterment of livestock industry
MATERNAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AMONG THE DELIVERIES IN
A SIR SUNDER LAL HOSPITAL, BHU, VARANASI
Authors: Kannaujiya Ruchi , Srivastava Usha , Kumar Alok
Published: January 2022

Abstract: Birth weight is very important indicator of the health and viability of a newborn infant. It is a significant factor of newborn growth and survival. Globally, it is estimated that there are 20 million of infants who are born with low birth weight, it depends on many maternal factors such as maternal age, gestations, antenatal care, education level, weight gain, parity, sex of child, and body mass index. Logistic regression is a statistical model for analyzing a dataset in which one or more independent variables that determine an outcome. The main objective of this paper is to identify the predictors
of low birth weight through binary logistic regression model.
Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynecology postnatal ward of Sir Sunder Lal hospital, BHU, Varanasi from 14th June 2015 to 15 January 2017. Altogether 500 respondents were taken and respondents were Mother who had delivered the newborns in SSL hospital. A spring type weighing machine scale was used to measure the birth weight of babies and birth weight was taken after the birth within the 24 hours.
Result: A total of 517 births occurred during the study period among which 39.07% were low birth weight and 60.93% were normal birth weight. Low birth weight neonates mean birth weight was found to be 1.93 kg and overall the mean in birth weight was 2.97 kg. Chi square test to find out the risk factor associated with the low birth weight which shows that maternal education, initial weight of mother, weight gain of mother, gestation, sex of child, pregnancy complication, body mass index, antenatal care are statistically significant with low birth weight. The fitted binary Logistic regression model
shows that use of iron and calcium supplements has the highest odd ratio compared to the other factors.
Conclusion: This study suggest that there were several factors finding to affect the birth weight which are education level, maternal weight, weight gain, body mass index, antenatal care, sex of neonates, pregnancy complication, gestation age and use of iron calcium supplements.

The principal objective of investigation serves to be the determination of the form in than the application of the technique LECRETEXOR (reading and creation of orthographic texts) influences the learning of orthography. The methodology used was the cuasiexperimental. The subjects of the cross - section constituted the schoolgirls of the first grade of secondary (First A, Experimental group) and (First B, Control group) of private school of misses Juan Landázuri of Cusco. The principal conclusion of investigation are: Than applying the technique LECRETEXOR in several learning sessions, it turns out well that schoolgirls learn the orthography in effective form and use her, in the same measure, the schoolgirls become addicted to the autocorrection; That they infer the orthographic rules as from the orthographic texts read by them. These results coincide with the research of Quiñones (2010) who, applying a reading method, found that 100% of the students improved their bad spelling problems, after reading specially selected texts.
Capture Codes for Better Geology
Authors: Williams Dean K.
Published: January 2022

Automated core logging technology is starting to replace geologists in the core shed. Often-cited justifications for this include increased speed, multivariate sensors, and the perception that manual logging can be subjective and produces inconsistent data. An alternative is to keep the geologists and replace subjectivity with objectivity. The common practice of selecting lithology from a predetermined list of rock types can force subjective decisions. These lead to data inconsistencies that tend to increase as the rocks become progressively hydrothermally altered. A system of capture codes following the maxim, “first observe, then interpret,” is proposed as a tool to improve coding consistency and collect geologic data with greater resolution. The codes capture empirical geologic observations in a systematic and comprehensive fashion to produce a compact, computer-friendly format that facilitates data synthesis, analysis, and 3-D visualization. Capture codes do not replace any existing project or standardized company summary codes for rock types, alteration facies, or degree and style of mineralization. They capture the underlying, specific geologic observations required to make correct and consistent summary code categorizations. In other words, capture codes are empirical data, while summary codes are often subjective labels. Utilization of the codes improves the understanding of the project geology and consistency in coding between geologists, while simultaneously strengthening their field skills. After reading this article, a geologist should be able to pick up any rock and capture code the lithology and, if applicable, its alteration and mineralization as well.
Bidʿah Ḥasanah dalam Perspektif Al-ʿIzz Bin ʿAbd Al-Salām dan ʿAli Bin Ḥasan Al-Ḥalabī

This research explores the views of Imam Al-ʿIzz Bin ʿAbd Al-Salām dan ʿAli Bin Ḥasan Al-Ḥalabī to the bidʿah ḥasanahconcept. The polemic about bid’ah ḥasanah always be warm even hot on the grassroots, so this writing tries to track the conclusion and the root cause of bid’ah ḥasanah from two figures mentioned above.The results of this research shows the difference bet ween those two figures, Al-ʿIzz Bin ʿAbd Al-Salām says that there is a bidʿah ḥasanah , while ʿAli Bin Ḥasan Al-Ḥalabī says that there is no bidʿah ḥasanah . The cause of difference views between them is when Al-ʿIzz Bin ʿAbd Al-Salām used term of bid’ah in the con text of etymology while al - Halaby interpreted the term in the context of terminology. As for the difference factor in the common people that there is no classification bid’ah in worship and non - worship (muʿamalah). The comparison results between these two figures can be seen from two sides. First, the similarity; which both of them against together the bid’ah which certainly against the sharia; as for the different side that Al-ʿIzz found there is a bidʿah ḥasanah like building Islamic schools (madrasah), le arning tajweed, etc., while al Halaby found that all bidʿah in religious matters are misguided. Build schools in the views of al - Ḥalabī is not bidʿah , but maslahah mursalah.
On Sorcery
Authors: Lambek Michael
Published: January 2022

The question of sorcery is less whether it is rational or “real” than how people live with the concept. The paper draws from the author’s mistakes in attempting to resolve a conflict over sorcery accusations among a group of siblings in Mayotte (Western Indian Ocean) in order to illuminate ethical dimensions of living with sorcery and also of studying it. The chapter presents a picture of some of the vulnerabilities and insights that life with sorcery can offer and distinguish the concept in the life of inhabitants of Mayotte from the concept in the life of anthropologists (the language game of anthropology). The distinction is not equivalent to emic and etic or token to type.
On some characteristic features of daily rainfall over Madhya Maharashtra
Authors: AGASHE P. S. , PADGALWAR K. V.
Published: January 2022

Information in processed form, is often needed to meet the demands in agriculture, hydrology and other water-related human activities.  In this context, daily rainfall continue to be of prime importance since it is the daily rainfall which, when accumulated gives weekly, monthly or seasonal totals. This paper deals with some of the characteristic features of daily rainfall at nine selected stations in Madhya Maharashtra.  The study is based on daily rainfall data of June to September months for 10 years (1991-2000).

                Depending upon rainfall amounts (or lack of it), a day has been categorized as rainy day, drizzle day or dry day.  Making use of the concept of evapotranspiration, rainy day has been further divided into crop rainy day.   Distribution of these various classes of days, their contribution to monthly totals and relationship among them, have been obtained and discussed.  The rainy days have been used to obtain mean daily rainfall intensity and its association with monthly rainfall, examined through a series of regression equations.  Frequency of heavy falls i.e., rainfall exceeding 25 mm in a day have been determined and its contribution to monthly rainfall, evaluated.

                There seems to be a tendency for the rainy days and the rainfall to be below normal in recent years.  Perfectly dry weather could prevail nearly half of June and July months over the region.  Heavy rainfall contributes substantially to the monthly total.  During June and September mean daily rainfall intensity is perhaps weakly related with the monthly rainfall.

Infertility in women is caused by a variety of hereditary and acquired uterine problems. Ultrasound has been found to be a good, quick, safe, and cost-effective way to assess the size, quantity, and location of abnormalities and to measure endometrial thickness in different phases of menstrual cycle.Objective: The main objective of this study wasto evaluate roleof ultrasound in assessment of endometrial thickness in infertile females of secretory phase. Methods: This is a descriptive study, including eighty two females age 24 to 46 years from University ultrasound clinic, Lahore after the approval of ethical committee of Allied health sciences, University of Lahore. Informed consent was taken before including the subjects in the study. Data was collected according to data collection sheets. Results: The results showed that primary infertility (54.9%) is more in females than secondary infertility (45.1%). There were 10(47.6%) females in primary infertility with 9-12mm endometrial thickness and 11(52.4%) in secondary infertility. 24(57.1%) females in primary infertility with 13-16mm endometrial thickness and 18(42.9%) in secondary infertility. 11(68.8%) females in primary infertility with 17-20mm endometrial thickness and 5(31.3%) in secondary infertility. 3(100%) females in secondary infertility with 21-24mm endometrial thickness.Conclusion: Female patients who initially taking infertility treatment had less endometrial thickness in proliferative phase; their endometrial thickness maybe increased in early secretory phase or at 21st day of their menstrual cycle but they had lost their chance to conceive the pregnancy in proliferative phase due to less endometrial thickness. The females should know the normal endometrial thickness in different phases of their menstrual cycle to conceive the pregnancy.  This study shows ultrasound plays a vital role in detecting endometrial thickness in infertility treatment.

Building Capacity to Improve Latino Health in Rural North Carolina: A Case Study in Community-University Engagement
Authors: Larson Kim , McQuiston Chris
Published: January 2022

In North Carolina, health disparities for the emergent Latino population are well documented. Between 2005 and 2009, a community-university engagement model with Latino leaders and university faculty and students in rural eastern North Carolina worked to address solutions to health disparities among Latinos. Based on principles of community-based participatory research, this model focused on partnership formation and capacity building. Community partners acquired leadership and research skills. University partners gained a local understanding of Latino health through collaborative community and systems-level initiatives. Mutual benefits were achieved in partnerships established, resources leveraged, and community members reached. These strategies can be replicated in other communities that have an immigrant Latino population, community-oriented, bilingual health professionals, and a university committed to engagement.
Changes in Czech Family Law in Light of the Principles of European Family Law
Authors: Králíčková Zdeňka
Published: January 2022

Czech family law has recently been re-codified as part of the new Civil Code. The intention of its main drafters was to build on the values and traditions of Christian-Jewish culture in the Czech Republic and to enrich Czech family law with a new dimension, especially in relation to international human rights conventions and developments in the field of human rights in general. Some sections have also been significantly influenced by the Principles of European Family Law (PEFL) developed by the Commission on European Family Law (CEFL) aiming at ‘better law’ and the harmonization of family law systems in Europe.  It was stressed that the Principles of European Family Law regarding Divorce and Maintenance Between Former Spouses, the Principles of European Family Law regarding Parental Responsibilities and the Principles of European Family Law regarding Property Relations Between Spouses were published during the time of recodification of the new Civil Code and took into consideration. However, the Principles of European Family Law regarding the Property, Maintenance and Succession Rights and Duties of Couples in de facto Unions were published later. It is unclear whether the concept of unmarried cohabitation will be a challenge for Czech legislators. One can agree with the view that the new private law code should, in principle, cover all private law matters, including family law, as is customary in countries with comparable legal environments. And finally, the article was focused on the pending drafts, as developments in this area are not over, as further changes are on the way.
Freedom of Conscience and Religion in Private Schools
Authors: Poniatowski Michał
Published: January 2022

This study examines freedom of conscience and religion in private schools, which seems to lie outside the mainstream of discussions on the presence of religious symbols or, more broadly, religious acts in public spaces. First, the study explores the parallel historical formation of freedom of conscience/religion and the right to education. Then, the study sketches an outline of the sources of law guaranteeing these freedoms, focusing on the aspects common to European legal culture. Then, the subject and object of this freedom are discussed in the context of private schools. Selected case law is then examined to provide illustration. Finally, the study offers key general and de lege ferenda conclusions.
Online Comments and Defamation
Authors: Popović Dušan
Published: January 2022

A defamatory statement is a false or untrue statement that harms the reputation of a living person. In the digital environment, defamatory content can be easily shared and may remain available online for a very long period. At first, anonymous Internet communication was predominantly seen as a value in itself – a mechanism that advances the public debate, protects political dissension, and furthers due process. However, the rapid growth of social networks and digital platforms has transformed the content and tone of online interactions. This paper analyzes online comments that may threaten the reputation of a person from a freedom of speech and within the auspices of European law. These comments typically appear as anonymous statements, signed only with a ‘nickname’ not allowing for identification of a poster. The European Union has adopted several pieces of legislation that set the legal status of defamatory online comments. The Directive on Electronic Commerce is of utmost importance given that it regulates the dissemination of online content. However, the European approach to defamation cannot be understood unless the European Union’s system is combined with that of the European Convention on Human Rights. The European Court of Human Rights’ approach towards defamatory online comments is best demonstrated in its decision on Delfi v. Estonia and MTE v. Hungary.
MEDIATING ROLE OF A FIELD OF STUDY IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BROAD AUTISM PHENOTYPE AND THE SENSE OF COHERENCE
Authors: Panas Krystyna Teresa , Gaś Zbigniew B.
Published: January 2022

Recent studies reveal a growing number of individuals with the traits of broad autism phenotype who display communication problems and difficulties in establishing interpersonal relations. Studies suggest that BAP traits are more frequent in students of the sciences than in humanities students. Therefore, the present study aimed to establish the mediating role of a field of study in the relationship between BAP and the sense of coherence.

The study included 168 students (90 females and 78 males) of science and humanities. We administered the AQ questionnaires (Autism -Spectrum Quotient, Baron-Cohen et al.,, 2001) for adults, the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC - 29, Antonovsky, 1987, 1993).

The study confirmed that BAP traits are more expressed in students of science than in students of arts as well as in men than women. Also, relationships between the intensity of BAP traits and comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness were noted, but not between the total sense of coherence. Therefore, we concentrated on evaluating a mediating effect of the field of study and these three dimensions.

The positive relationships between BAP meaningfulness and manageability suggest that the appropriate choice of the field of study plays a significant role in finding meaning in life and deve loping an ability to cope with emerging difficulties. Since the field of study is closely linked to the type of work, it might be assumed that the same role is played by a job that makes sense. It explains the frustration of brain-damaged patients at being unable to work. Clinical data show that giving such patients an oppor tunity to be active in any field restores their sense of meaning in life.

Also discussed are the influence of his academic immersion in Elizabethan drama at Columbia University, his embrace of the artistic lifestyle of Greenwich Village, and the impact of his romantic relationship with folksinger Hedy West. The chapter concludes with a discussion of his first fiction publications, concentrating on his breakthrough story, “A Rose for Ecclesiastes.”
John Quincy Adams and National Portraiture
Authors: Finnegan Cara A.
Published: January 2022

Between 1842 and his death in 1848, elderly former president and sitting congressman John Quincy Adams sat for upward of fifty daguerreotypes. This chapter examines Adams’s diary entries in which he wrote about his experiences with the new medium. Adams’s writings reveal a thoughtful, anxious public figure grappling with the question of what photography’s capacity to produce images “too true to the original” might mean for the era’s visual politics. While Adams recognized photography’s unique representational power, he had serious concerns about whether the daguerreotype, with its twin investments in fidelity and wonder, was the best art for producing portraits, in his words, “worthy of being preserved” as images of and for the nation.
Barack Obama and Flickr
Authors: Finnegan Cara A.
Published: January 2022

This chapter examines the visual archive built when the Obama White House chose to make official photographs made by its photographer, Pete Souza, available to the public via the social media photography site Flickr. The Obama White House Flickr photostream--still preserved in its original form today--constituted a discrete, real-time social media photography archive, and operated as an axis around which other social media practices and public debates about photography circulated. Functioning simultaneously as a collection for posterity, a real-time public relations effort, a site of contestation over interactive social media, and a playful and politicized space for appropriation and remixing, the Flickr photostream served as a key example of how social media practices transformed twenty-first-century photography into a space of sharing and remixing.
Introduction
Authors: Jennings Justin , Álvarez Willy Yépez , Bautista Stefanie L.
Published: January 2022

A brief introduction to the volume, its overarching goals, and organization, this section begins with a discussion of Linares Málaga’s 1970 excavations at Quilcapampa and his assertion that the site was a Wari military outpost connected to the spread of a conquest empire. We then consider the relationship between cities, states, and the spread of the first civilization in other parts of the world to argue that people from urbanizing centers moved into outlying regions for a wide variety of regions. Even if Quilcapampa was a site founded by Wari people, we argue that much more work then needs to be done to determine the relationships of these people to the state and surrounding populations. The volume is an attempt to investigate these relationships.
From Humus Mold to Stout Building

As Morrison and Stone began excavating at St. John’s in 1972, they encountered structures constructed or repaired with hole-set posts. Like a fence with wooden posts, these were buildings whose walls were attached to posts whose feet were set in post holes and held in place by having dirt compacted around the post feet as the post holes were back filled. At St. John’s, they discovered that the most accurate way to dimension an earthfast building was not from archaeological drawings, but directly from the dirt. At van Sweringen’s coffee house, through tedious experiments, they learned the best way to dimension hole-set timbers. Their refined excavating techniques allowed them to diagnose the phase two van Sweringen kitchen as a side-wall reared structure and the print shop as a bent-reared structure. Morrison and Stone’s research benefited from collaboration with architectural historian Cary Carson, historian Lois Carr, and housewright John O’Rourke--O’Rourke’s construction of a seventeenth-century plantation exhibit served, in part, as experimental archaeology. The 1970s was an exciting period of archaeological discovery throughout the Chesapeake. In 1981, under the leadership of Cary Carson, these discoveries were published as “Impermanent Architecture in the Southern American Colonies.”
Soil Analysis at the St. John’s Site
Authors: Hurry Silas D. , Keeler Robert Winston
Published: January 2022

This chapter explores the use of soil chemistry in distributional analyses to explore human behavior through non-artifactual manifestations of occupation. Using a standard agricultural assessment, soil phosphate (PO4), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) are mapped to decipher how a landscape was used through time. Both concentrations and absence of these key soil elements are indicative of different types of human intervention. Analysis of soil elements within cultural point-type deposits can also be explored using the standard agricultural assessment. The use of this type of sampling in historical archaeology was pioneered at St. Mary’s City. In addition to the utility of soil chemical analysis, the approach’s drawbacks and challenges are reviewed.
St. John’s Freehold
Authors: Mitchell Ruth M. , Miller Henry M. , Stone Garry Wheeler
Published: January 2022

The first seventeenth-century site excavated by Historic St. Mary’s City was St. John’s Plantation, established in 1638. In this chapter, evidence of the four structures uncovered at the site is presented. These include a well-built hall-and-parlor home based upon East Anglian architecture, and three subsequent earthfast buildings. One was a store converted into a servant’s quarter and then a kitchen, another was built as a merchant’s storehouse which became a lodging, and the third was a poultry house constructed in a Dutch style. Analysis of animal bones from the site is also presented. Bones from the first decades of occupation are compared with those from later decades, revealing a dramatic shift in the diet of the inhabitants over time. Although domestic cattle and swine were significant throughout, wild species especially deer and fish had a prominent place in the early diet. By the late 1600s, domestic meats, especially beef, predominated. This provided the first detailed archaeological insights about the diet from the seventeenth-century Chesapeake.
“Master Pope’s Fort”
Authors: Fithian Charles H.
Published: January 2022

In 1645, the English Civil Wars arrived in the Chesapeake colonies of North America. The Maryland colony became a militarized and contested landscape for over a decade, and the conflict altered the trajectory of the colony’s political, social, and cultural development for the remainder of the seventeenth-century. In excavations at St. Mary’s City, Maryland, a fortification dating to this period was discovered and partially excavated. Archaeological investigations revealed complex and well-preserved archaeological deposits and recovered a large and diverse collection of artifacts. This chapter examines the fort’s materiality as expressed through its military architecture and military material culture assemblage. These topics are discussed through the lenses of English colonization, seventeenth-century military technology and practice, and the processes of Chesapeake cultural development and adaptation. That Chesapeake military developments were more dynamic and adaptive than previously thought are demonstrated.
The Lead Coffins of St. Mary’s
Authors: Bruwelheide Karin S. , Miller Henry M. , Owsley Douglas W. , Riordan Timothy B.
Published: January 2022

Three unidentified lead coffins were discovered at Historic St. Mary’s City during a remote sensing and archaeological excavation of a 1660s brick chapel. Their investigation led to a re-examination of two additional lead coffins from a nearby brick vault constructed in 1694 and believed to house the bodies of Maryland’s first royal governor and his wife. These five rare coffins and their contents, examined by an interdisciplinary team including nuclear physicists, engineers, a pollen specialist, geologist, archaeologists, and forensic anthropologists, provide information on seventeenth-century identities, colonial life, and behaviours lost over time. Previously unknown aspects of diet, health, and childcare are revealed through skeletal and chemical analyses. The information from these high-status individuals serves as a contrast and comparison to other, less affluent individuals buried at St. Mary’s and throughout the Chesapeake region.
Historical Cases: Contextualizing the Self
Authors: Webster Maud
Published: January 2022

Chapter 3 explores letters and images that situate selves and events in time, developing the themes of literacy and material agency from Chapter 1, and identity-formation from Chapter 2. Jewish and Catholic approaches to time and events past are then discussed, followed by a psychoanalysis and panorama of present-day period-awareness and embodied engagements such as re-enactments. Topics discussed include the following: the impact of conflict on the will to historicize in writing: the cases of the Aspö rune-stone in Sweden, the American Civil War aftermath, and the Greek War of Independence; writing as creation and as self-therapy; activated memory rather than historicizing records, and the weight of names, words, and the Word divine; visual reifications of time in Italian art: the cases of Angelico’s and Caravaggio’s annunciations; space and the absences signalled by art and architecture: the case of Mary’s house divided; present-day receptions, conceptions, and needs revealed: the cases of Gettysburg, Azincourt, and others; and periodization and the self in search of orientation in time: the cases of Pythagoras and Paulinus.
Between Trade and Tradition
Authors: Stolk Marijn
Published: January 2022

This chapter seeks to provide a review of prevailing ceramics used in Amsterdam households during the Early Modern period, focusing on the seventeenth century. The central matter is the question of what it is that makes a ceramic assemblage typical of seventeenth-century Amsterdam, or rather, what can be described as typical Dutch material culture at the time? In order to answer this question, case studies of household waste assemblages from seventeenth-century Amsterdam are discussed within the context of historic developments, evolving trading networks, and changes in consumption and production patterns.
