Assessing the reliability of web-based measurements of visual function
Authors: Leadbeater Richard J. , McGraw Paul , Ledgeway Timothy
Published: January 2023

Many behavioural phenomena have been replicated using web-based experiments, but evaluation of the agreement between objective measures of web- and lab-based performance is required if scientists and clinicians are to reap the benefits of web-based testing. In this study, we investigated the reliability of a task which assesses early visual cortical function by evaluating the well-known ‘oblique effect’ (we are better at seeing horizontal and vertical edges than tilted ones) and the levels of agreement between remote, web-based measures and lab-based measures. Sixty-nine young participants (mean age, 21.8 years) performed temporal and spatial versions of a web-based, two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) orientation-identification task. In each case, orientation-identification thresholds (the minimum orientation difference at which a standard orientation could be reliably distinguished from a rotated comparison) were measured for cardinal (horizontal and vertical) and oblique orientations. Reliability was assessed in a subsample of 18 participants who performed the same tasks under laboratory conditions. Robust oblique effects were found, such that thresholds were substantially lower for cardinal orientations compared to obliques, for both web- and lab-based measures of the temporal and spatial 2AFC tasks. Crucially, web- and lab-based orientation-identification thresholds showed high levels of agreement, demonstrating the suitability of web-based testing for assessments of early visual cortical function. Future studies should assess the reliability of similar web-based tasks in clinical populations to evaluate their adoption into clinical settings, either to screen for visual anomalies or to assess changes in performance associated with progression of disease severity.

Cefuroxime-Induced Toxic Maculopathy: A Cataract Co-Management Conundrum
Authors: Skorin Leonid
Published: January 2023

Background: Cefuroxime-induced toxic maculopathy can occur when an incorrect dilution is injected intracamerally after cataract surgery. This results in a guarded visual prognosis. Cefuroxime-induced toxic maculopathy can also occur sporadically even when the medication dilution is the standard correct dosage. These patients usually recover their vision by the first postoperative week. Case Report: A 72-year-old Caucasian female developed cefuroxime-induced toxic maculopathy after uneventful cataract surgery. Investigation of the case confirmed that she had a sporadic response to the cefuroxime. It was verified that she received the standard correct dilution of cefuroxime intracamerally. The patient showed a significant improvement in her vision by her first postoperative weekly visit. By her last postoperative visit at 7 weeks her best corrected visual acuity was 20/20. Conclusion: Optometrists should be aware of cefuroxime-induced toxic maculopathy and distinguish between sporadic cases and those where the patient received an incorrect medication dilution dosage.

Published: January 2023

Background: Bilateral, full-thickness macular holes are a rare condition that can substantially affect quality of life. Macular hole diagnosis and treatment is key for these patients. Case Report: A 71 year old Caucasian male presented with a chief complaint of distance blur in both eyes, worsening over the past 1-2 weeks. He had no diagnosis of diabetes. He added that his prostate cancer had spread and that his last treatment ended 9 days ago. He was ultimately diagnosed with bilateral, full-thickness macular holes. Referral to a retinal specialist for surgical management yielded good results. Conclusion: This is the first case report documenting bilateral macular holes in a patient with these systemic meds to date. More research on any potential ocular side effects of these medications is recommended.

Authors: Nwankwo Ndidi Grace , Anike Angela Njideka , Ibeh Oluchi Bridget
Published: January 2023

This study investigated the challenges in the selection and acquisition of grey literature in Nigerian Libraries. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study consist of 17 staff working in Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Library, Igbariam Campus. There was no sampling because the population of the study was small and manageable. The instrument used for data collection was questionnaire. Mean and frequency tables were used to analyse the research questions. The major findings of the study included that all categories of grey literature resources are available in the library studied, grey literature is acquired through purchase, donation and exchange, cataloguing and classification is a means of processing grey literature resources, and the most challenge libraries face in acquiring grey literature is lack of fund. Based on the findings, it was recommended that government should make provision for adequate funds for acquisition of grey literature in University libraries, the library management should embark on regular review and supply of new and more grey materials, library management should employ subject specialists that can assist in the selection acquisition of grey materials, and the library management should create proper awareness to both teachers and students on the role of grey literature.
Факторы, способствующие увеличению частоты кесарева сечения: обзор литературы
Authors: Ullah S. , Бейсенова А.Ж.
Published: January 2023

Актуальность: Во всем мире наблюдается растущая тенденция применения кесарева сечения. По данным ВОЗ, темп роста составляет около 15%.Цель исследования – поиск возможных решений для снижения частоты кесарева сечения не требуемых медицинскими показаниями.Методы: Поиск литературы включал исследовательские и обзорные статьи по кесареву сечению (кесарево сечение), доступные в Google Scholar, PubMed, Sci-Hub и Biomedical Corner.Результаты: Обзор литературы выявил ежедневное увеличение частоты кесарева сечения. Если ранее кесарево сечение считалось экстренной процедурой, спасающей жизнь, сегодня некоторые воспринимают его как метод выбора и комфорта, что приводит к превышающим рекомендованным ВОЗ нормам проведения операции. В этом обзоре обсуждаются факторы, которые приводят к увеличению частоты кесарева сечения по материнской просьбе. Для снижения частоты кесарева сечения необходимо информировать людей о факторах риска, заболеваемости, смертности, рекомендациях ВОЗ и мнениях врачей.Заключение: Общий уровень кесарева сечения можно снизить, если устранить факторы, приводящие к выбору кесарева сечения по желанию матери, и оказывать психологическую поддержку женщинам, которые обращаются за кесаревым сечением без медицинских показаний.
IMPLEMENTACION DE BUENAS PRACTICAS EN LA GESTION DE RIESGOS LABORALES
Authors: Laura Chumbiriza Anthony Eduardo
Published: January 2023

La gestión de riesgos laborales es un proceso clave del sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, pues permite a la organización tener un panorama completo de los peligros presentes en los procesos, actividades y tareas que realiza para el logro de sus objetivos empresariales. Peligros que deben ser identificados, pues tienen el potencial de causar daño a los trabajadores, maquinarias, procesos, medio ambiente, entre otros. A partir de la identificación de peligros, la empresa debe evaluar los puestos de trabajo que, por exposición a ellos, tengan riesgos asociados que deban ser evaluados y controlados. A esta parte central del proceso de gestión de riesgos laborales se le conoce como la IPERC (Identificación de Peligros, Evaluación de Riesgos e implementación de Controles). Es por ello, que el primer capítulo inicia haciendo una reflexión sobre la trascendencia de realizar una buena gestión de riesgos desde la IPERC, para luego comprobarlo a través de nueve capítulos que contienen experiencias de expertos implementando buenas prácticas de gestión de riesgos laborales en sectores de alto riesgo. La intención del presente texto es poder complementar las publicaciones académicas desarrolladas sobre gestión de riesgos laborales con evidencia empírica de alto valor.

Education is supreme, fundamental and undeniably the utmost prioritized aspect of life. To add more laurels to this, when technology comes in consonance with it, education become even more valuable and empowering. Both education and technology are dynamic and it is this dynamism that makes education in today’s time more virtuous. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown, it was technology that was used at its best to help children stay in touch with their curriculum and the upgradations that are happening in the world of technology and education. However, the other side of this matter, is that not everyone could make the best out of this, as the lockdown led to economic crisis for many people due to which their children had to suffer on educational front and also the issue of network connectivity was prominent. However, with the right balance of time and situation things can get much better.

TRAVELLER’S EXPECTATIONS TOWARDS UPCOMING AIRPORT SERVICES IN SELECT TIER 2 AND TIER 3 CITIES OF SOUTH INDIA
Authors: Ramakrishna Nalla , Babu S Harish
Published: January 2023

Gradually, the need & opportunities for passenger’s transportation are increasing and in basic services. The need and opportunities will create competition among the transportation modes and by addition of another travel mode to current modes in circulation led to a very tight competition along with that customer expectations will also increase in terms of a lower price, luxury, less time to reach the destination and additional services. This makes the travellers meet with various services, so the service providers need to know the choices and facilities required for the travellers to attract, create, and provide the service. This study is carried out in South Indian cities where the airport is not available, and where the Government of India proposed a new airport. The key objective of this study is to find the important characteristics considered by travellers while traveling to the nearest airport city as well by using the Fishbein multi-attribute model finding which mode of travellers has more expectations from the upcoming airport services to the cities. The results of the study are those who travel to the nearest airport city using Taxi having more expectations on the upcoming airport service to the selected cities, in that support attribute having the highest expectation. The supported attribute here is about supporting the move of the government to provide low-cost airlines through the Udan scheme and Community support to the new airport will be positive.
FROSTIAN ANTICIPATION AND RESCUING ROCHESTER: DECONSTRUCTION AND READER-RESPONSE CRITICISM IN READINGS OF JANE EYRE (1847) AND WIDE SARGASSO SEA (1966)
Authors: Trivedi Chetan N. , Raval Rohal S.
Published: January 2023

The present article argues that Robert Frost’s poem “For Once, Then, Something” (1923) anticipates, by virtue of its latent similarities to them, the theory of Deconstruction propounded by Jacques Derrida, and Reader-Response Criticism which developed through the work of a number of important theorists, one of them being Stanley Fish. The validity of the interpretation is tested by juxtaposing it, in brief, on Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre (1847) and Jean Rhys’ Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), a postcolonial, Feminist re-reading or re-writing of Brontë’s work, especially one of literature’s great enigmatic figure – Bertha Antoinetta Rochester/Mason – and one of the novel’s central character – Edward Fairfax Rochester. Indeed, Bertha had been readily interpreted by many lay readers as an obstacle, if not an outright antagonist, in the union of Jane and Edward before the publication of Rhys’ insightful novel that is a prequel to or provides the backstory of crucial characters and events found in Brontë’s work. Moreover, the researchers also launch an enquiry that seeks to understand whether Rochester has been disproportionately or undeservedly demonized, at least since the publication of Rhys’ novel. This inquiry, which stems from both the insight provided by the reading of Frost’s poem and a position put forward by Fish, (re)reads Brontë’s text to see if it provides any clue, opening, or hint for an alternative response by which Rochester can be rescued from critical opprobrium he is often subjected to, whether before or after the publication of Wide Sargasso Sea.
THE PHILOSOPHICAL NATURE OF “WATER”: FROM UPANISHADS TO EARLY TAOISM SCRIPTURES
Authors: Wang Zanyi , Rawat Vikas , Yu Xinli , Panda Ramesh Chandra
Published: January 2023

India and China are two important ancient civilizations with a long history and profound philosophies in the world. There are some similar descriptions of water in both cultures, especially in their philosophies. The “water” was considered as the original source of everything, and one of the five elements, also a manifestation of Ultimate Reality, and the forms of water often compared with the river as the individual self and the sea as the Ultimate reality. This paper will analyze the inherent meaning of “water” in the early scriptures of the two countries, and compare the similarities and differences of "water" in the two cultures based on Upanishads in ancient Indian philosophy, Tao Te Ching, and Zhuangzi in early Taoism philosophy.
THE “INDIANNESS” IN THE ENGLISH POETRY OF NISSIM EZEKIEL- A STUDY OF HIS WRITINGS THROUGH THE PARADIGMS OF BELONGING FOR BELONGINGNESS.
Authors: Pawar Rinku
Published: January 2023

Ezekiel a prominent poet of the post-independence phase was born on 16th December 1924 to Moses Ezekiel and Diana Ezekiel of a Ben-Israel Jewish family in chawl of the Byculla Bride in Bombay. Ezekiel is one of those few men of letters who became a legend in his life time, by virtue of his creative and critical potentialities as manifested in his writings. He is or will be forever remembered as a poet. His career spans over a period a over half a century having nearly three hundreds poems including eight volumes. His most notable quality was a certain magic which drew people towards him. As Lal expresses “Mr. Nissim Ezekiel is, I think one of our better poets because he is the most consistent in maintaining a happy balance between experiment in technique and the introspective urge. Now and then the balance is replaced by a fusion and the result is a memorable poem”. The poems are carefully crafted and more interesting is the fact that Ezekiel uses the colloquial medium into his poems making use of the finest lyrics in order to peruse his dream of hunting his homeland simultaneously declaring himself to be an “Indian” beyond doubt.
Numerical Investigation of Flow and Dispersion over Two-Dimensional Semi-Open Street Canyon
Authors: Muhammad Fatih Ibrahim  , Mohd Faizal Mohamad  , Naoki Ikegaya  , Azli Abd Razak
Published: January 2023

A semi-open street canyon is able to protect pedestrians from unpleasant situations such as direct sunlight and rain. However, the protruding elements of the two opposite building facades that form the semi-open configuration can affect the air quality of the urban canopy layer (UCL). Therefore, this paper investigated the influence of the eave structures on the flow and pollutant dispersion over an idealized 2D street canyon with a unity aspect ratio. The length of the eaves was varied into 0.25H and 0.5H (H is the building height) and placed either on the leeward wall, the windward wall, or on both building facades located at the same elevation as the street canyon. Numerical simulations were performed using the steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in conjunction with Re-Normalization Group (RNG) k-ε as the turbulence closure model. The pollutant was released from a line source in the center of the bottom of the target canyon with uniform flow rate. Six different eave configurations were simulated in the wind direction perpendicular to the canyon axis, representing the worst condition of canyon ventilation. The evolution of the primary vortex, which occupied the entire canyon with the characteristic of skimming flow, showed less dependence on the length and position of the eave, except for the longest eave on the windward wall. However, the position of the vortex center depicted opposite results. The pollutant concentration is always higher near the leeward wall, but for the eave that protrudes from the windward wall with a length of 0.5H, the pollutant accumulates near the windward region. The ratio of pollutant concentration showed higher concentration in the semi-open configurations compared to the fully open layout as a result of limited penetration of shear flow into the canyon, which leads to deterioration of pollutant removal.
Numerical Study of New Small-twist Tape Insert on Heat Transfer and Pressure Drop for Laminar Flow Inside Circular Pipe
Authors: Yee Luon Ng  , Aqilah Alzakri
Published: January 2023

In this study, thermal performance of the laminar flow inside pipe with proposed small twisted tape insert is studied numerically by using computational fluid dynamic software. The proposed insert consists of three- and five-small twisted tapes insert that are arranged in radially symmetry pattern. These group of inserts are then arranged along the pipe with gap spacing to generate continuous flow disturbance. The inserts are proposed to be modelled as zero-thickness layer to reduce the computational cost. The proposed zero-thickness model is validated by compare the with the results of 1mm-model and reference experimental results. The zero-thickness model is then implemented on the proposed insert design for numerical study. Compare with plain twisted tape insert, Nusselt number of the new design is increases by the range of approximately 0.07-42.7% for three-small tapes design, and 4.7-48.0% for five-small tapes design. Performance evaluation criteria (PEC) of present design ranging from 2.2-3.7 for three-small tapes design, and 2.65-3.65 for five-small tapes design. The proposed insert is found to have more advantage over plain twisted tape at lower Reynolds number, reflected by more significant increase in PEC at lower Reynolds number. From the result of friction factor and PEC, the optimum gap distance of insert group is found to be .

Trans and Non-Binary Youth Healthcare in The Digital Age of Medicine
Authors: Fernandez Lindsey , Medina Kaeri , Peterson Stefan
Published: January 2023

Gender-affirming care has been established as essential healthcare for transgender and non-binary (TNB) youth but many patients face prohibitive barriers when accessing this kind of care. These roadblocks span a wide array of arenas, from digital privacy protections to simply accessing gender affirming care. Many TNB youth lack familial and community support to seek care, geographical access to specialized providers, insurance coverage sufficient to make this care affordable, and legal protections for existing as a TNB person in society. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital technologies and health legislation expanded patients' access to out-of-state or remote care. Telemedicine in particular has the potential to reduce barriers to accessing gender-affirming care. However, without guidance and oversight in the form of concrete federal or state policies, these benefits may not be extended to those most in need of support. How telehealth providers manage the data collected using these technologies is also of great concern; this health information could be used to prevent and criminalize youth and families seeking care. We thus propose a suite of policy actions to protect and expand access to gender-affirming care for TNB youth: ensuring legal protections for data relating to gender identity and gender-affirming healthcare, establishing nationwide access to gender-affirming care via insurance waivers and support for remote care, and expanding the pool of providers trained in TNB healthcare.
Future on a Flashdrive: Timely Considerations for the Imminent Adoption of Whole Genome Sequencing in Pediatric Healthcare
Authors: Hohmann Ella , King Brian , Laroche Robert , Wilkinson Adam , Wilkinson Alexis
Published: January 2023

In just twenty years, humanity has progressed from the first sequenced human genome to the ability to sequence one in a matter of hours and for only hundreds of dollars. This rise in affordability and speed has enabled physicians to use whole genome sequencing (WGS) as a diagnostic tool, particularly in cases of rare disease in pediatric patients where it has already demonstrated immense potential. However, such a rapid development in technology powerful enough to unlock a person’s genetic information has also led to necessary questions regarding when and how it is applied. In this assessment, we discuss the implications of WGS adoption in pediatric healthcare, focusing specifically on ensuring ethical and equitable collection and communication of genomic data as well as the need for secure and accessible data storage methods. We identify several key areas where further policy is most pressing and provide value-driven recommendations centered on guaranteeing pediatric patient safety, equity, and empowerment during the broader introduction of WGS tools. In particular, we advocate for legal frameworks that limit present usage of WGS to only those patients with a clear and present need, guidelines that expand the labor force that can conduct WGS, increasing access and equity, improved standards for storage, access, and sharing of WGS data, and finally expanding Medicaid coverage to include WGS use in critical care settings.

Authors: Moses A Salami , Okoh S Ikechukwu
Published: January 2023

Flood is one of the natural disaster known to be part of the earth biophysical processes, which its occurrence can be devastating; due to mostly anthropogenic activities and climatological factors. The aim of the research is to identify and map the extent at which the impact of flood due to intense rainfall and rise in water in the study area using geospatial techniques and the specific objectives are to carry out terrain analysis of the study area and to generate flood indicator maps of the study area. The study analyzed rain fall data;, the drainage system and Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM 30m) of the area. ArcGIS 10.8 was to modelled and to generate the contributing factors map of the study area. The drainage system was generated through on-screen digitization of topographic map of scale 1:50,000 of Ondo South-West. The mean annual rainfall of Lagos State was generated in the ArcGIS environment from the rainfall data through spatial analysis tool. The SRTM was used in terrain analysis of the study area. The results generated showed the lowest mean annual rain fall of the area 1,700mm and the highest mean annual rain fall was 2,440mm. Digital elevation model (DEM), slope, flow direction were generated from the SRTM. Drainage density of the area was generated using the drainage system. The slope map of the entire area which are classified into five slope classes of very high (14%-48.5%) to high (7.6%-13.9%) to moderately high (4.2%-7.6%) to low (1.5%-4.2%) and very low (0. % - 1.2%).

Chikankari is an ancient and traditional embroidery technique that originated in Lucknow, a city in north-eastern India. The artisans of Chikan embroidery are outspread in Lucknow and nearby villages of Sitapur district. The rural people of Sitapur villages are largely dependent on the Chikankari embroidery for their livelihood and the embroidery is very popular among rural ladies. Socio-economic status of a person is the economic and social position of the person based on education, income and occupation in relation to others. It was found in the study that age group 20-40 were dominating in Chikankari work as they faces low health problems as compared to higher age group. Modified Kuppuswamy Socio-economic scale updated for the year 2019, was used to calculate the socio-economic status of the respondents. Socio-economic status of the worker shows that they were mostly upper lower class (60%) and lower middle class (40%). Nearly all subjects (99%) had income below 5000/month and the average income from Chikankari is rupees 2566.66/month/person, while the income of the family/household income mostly range between rupees 19516-29199/month and the average income was rupees 20542.91/month. Most of the Chikankari workers had kuchha houses and uses wood for cooking on traditional chulha. Public hand pumps were the source to drink water. They had very small or no land holding and daily wages are the source of income to fulfill their daily needs.
“Genial” Perception
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

Chapter one describes the main assumptions involved in both poet-critics’ belief that genial perception is direct, unmediated; looks at Coleridge’s understanding of intuition as immediate perception; and considers the one assumption indispensable to Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s celebrated distinction between “the imagination” and “the fancy”: that poetic effects and qualities remain stable over time. Finally, the chapter explores the two Romantics’ attitudes toward language and finds in both writers a striking discontinuity between their ideal of the organic unity of thought and language on the one hand, and, on the other, their construction of visionary experience as an imaginative or intuitive kind of “seeing” that leaves language entirely out of account.
Critical Binaries of the Mid- and Later Eighteenth Century
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

Chapter three continues to trace the binary habits of English taste-critics through Hume, Johnson, Blair, Campbell, Kames, Gerard, Duff and others, focusing on patterns in critical perception and interpretation that appear increasingly to anticipate the binary differences subsumed under the Romantics’ imagination / fancy distinction. These taste-critical patterns foreground a terminology and phraseology which the two Romantics sometimes closely paraphrase and sometimes simply repeat. Chapters two and three, taken together, illustrate how an inveterate mental habit, such as the taste-critics’ habit of treating stylistic qualities and effects in binary terms, may become over time a second nature whose shaping power goes unnoticed for that very reason.
Perceptual Naturalism in Wordsworth (II)
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

Chapters six and seven map unacknowledged discursive influences on Wordsworth’s creative (“imaginative”) perceiving and Coleridge’s theory of the imagination. Chapter six reviews Mark Akenside’s teachings about genius in The Pleasures of (the) Imagination (1744, 1757-72) and introduces the Shaftesburyan tradition of which Akenside was the most distinguished poetic representative. Through this tradition Wordsworth could learn that his poetic powers owed nothing to books and everything to original genius. Shaftesbury also argues, in discussing the beauty of the natural world, that complaints about ugliness and other of our world’s apparent deficiencies show a littleness of mind, while to the large-minded observer nature reveals itself to be a perfectly-ordered and therefore beautiful whole. Passages from Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s poetry implicitly endorse this great-minded notion of beauty.
“Genial” Perception and Literacy
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

Chapter eight looks more closely than previously at the role of literacy and language in both creative and critical perception. It first notes the difficulties attending two of the “genial” perception theory’s most important assumptions: first, that “genial” perception is communicable in language, and, second, that “genial” perception is explicable in terms of faculty psychology. A review of the history of introspectionism and its various constructions of faculty psychology documents its failure over time as its practitioners multiplied irreconcilable systems. After addressing the scholarly progress made on investigating the intertextual basis of much in Wordsworth’s creative writing, the balance of the chapter demonstrates that Wordsworth’s critical literacy could exert a corresponding influence on his critical perceptions.
Wordsworth’s Revisions to the Snowdon Episode
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

Chapter nine demonstrates an interpretive technique referred to as philological close-reading, which is applied to the climactic Snowdon episode of The
Prelude. The apparently minor revisions to the 1804, 1805, and 1850 versions of the Snowdon episode provide clues to a kind of literary conversation taking place (possibly unconsciously) between Wordsworth and Milton, Akenside, and Collins, with the Hebrew bible supplying ur-texts shared between them. The chapter contends that Akenside is the transitional figure between Milton’s late-Renaissance and comparatively modest conception of the poet as divinely inspired and Wordsworth’s own, more audacious conception, which in certain formulations attributes to the poet of genius a literally Godlike creativity.
The Philology Of Unacknowledged Indebtedness
Authors: Edinger William
Published: January 2023

The concluding chapter offers a retrospective overview. It looks briefly at Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s beliefs about “genial” perception, at the assumptions governing the preceding historicist critique of those beliefs, and at some of the more prominent philological patterns, both topical and terminological, that constitute evidence of the two Romantics’ unacknowledged indebtedness to ways of thinking and perceiving absorbed from the literary culture of the long eighteenth century. The chapter then provides a brief justification of the philological close reading practiced in chapter nine, and concludes with an attempt to place this study’s interpretive approach in historical context.
Introduction
Authors: Almagor Laura
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the Jewish Territorialist Movement's ideology and activities and the place the movement occupied within a broader Jewish political and cultural narrative during the first half of the twentieth century. By focusing on Territorialism's history, the chapter shows that twentieth-century geopolitics was defined not only by natural geography but also by aspects of human geography. The chapter also seeks to explain the seeming incompatibility between the Territorialists' attachment to internationalist and universal convictions and their positive evaluation of population movements within a colonial framework as a solution to the plight of the European Jews. It then reveals the importance of such diverse aspects for the development of Territorialist history, while also demonstrating the significance of a relatively small movement for an understanding of both Jewish history and geopolitics writ large. Focusing on the Territorialists' activities, the chapter brings to the fore the geopolitical importance of individual actors and their personal and professional networks. It then turns to the second wave of Territorialism, which commenced in the mid-1930s with the establishment of the Freeland League for Jewish Territorial Colonization.
Freeland versus Zion
Authors: Almagor Laura
Published: January 2023

This chapter provides a more exclusive focus on the relationship between the Freeland League and the Zionist movement. As the chapter emphasizes, the Freelanders constantly defined themselves in relation to Zionism, but Territorialism's history leads to new insights into Zionist history as well. The chapter then unravels how the Freeland League's existence brought to light the growing complexities of Zionism and helped to show that, even though statehood was increasingly at the top of the Zionist agenda, this goal was not uncontested, either within or outside the Zionist movement. The fraught relationship between the two movements became ever more antagonistic, and by the 1940s the Territorialists had become heavily critical of Zionist and later Israeli politics, especially regarding the Palestinian Arabs. The chapter concludes by analysing how the Freelanders established warm contacts with several nonmainstream Zionist groups and individuals, most notably the bi-nationalist Zionist Ihud movement and its main leader Nathan Chofshi.
Conclusion
Authors: Almagor Laura
Published: January 2023

This chapter argues that the Territorialist movement has to be understood within the broader context of Jewish politics to make sense of Territorialist history. It analyses how the resonance of contemporary geopolitical trends and debates within Territorialist history demonstrated the movement's—and by extension modern Jewish politics'—direct connection to global political developments that were eventually to enable the sought-after solution to ‘the Jewish problem’. The chapter then shifts to examine how the history of Territorialism contributed to a burgeoning body of scholarship that problematizes the claim that the Holocaust made all non-Zionist political behaviour obsolete. The chapter looks at the antagonistic relationship between Territorialism and Zionism. It also considers the Territorialists and Zionism's spiritual advantage and the problematic spiritual position of the Jewish state.
How Old is Old?
Authors: Russ-Fishbane Elisha
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the subject of ageing in medieval Jewish culture, beginning with a series of big questions on how Jews viewed the nature and outer limits of old age. How did Jewish writers fit ageing into a conception of a complete human life and how was it described in relation to earlier stages of the life course? Like many cultures from antiquity to the modern period, Jewish literature contains a number of intriguing versions of the so-called ‘ages of man’ schema. The chapter determines how the classical and medieval Jewish traditions of the ages of man compare with those of ancient Greece and Rome and the medieval Near East. It considers how Jewish writers creatively integrated and melded the parallel systems in their environment into what were perceived to be authentic Jewish idioms.
Longevity and its Limits
Authors: Russ-Fishbane Elisha
Published: January 2023

This chapter confirms whether the length of life is fixed and predetermined by God or by nature, or whether longevity is a function of human choice as either moral-religious or environmental-hygienic. The chapter traces the roots of the length of life in its biblical and rabbinic forms and explores the ways in which the Arabic-Islamic milieu impacted the Jewish intellectual tradition, as well as the popular consciousness as reflected in ordinary Genizah letters. It mentions Daniel Lasker and Joseph Ziegler, who demonstrated different ways longevity exerted a profound fascination on the Jewish cultural imagination. The chapter pays careful attention to the ways in which Jewish views about longevity in the primordial past and messianic future intersected. It discusses how these views were impacted by the broader discourse about longevity in the Islamic and Jewish intellectual traditions.
Ageing Body, Ageing Mind
Authors: Russ-Fishbane Elisha
Published: January 2023

This chapter looks at challenges associated with the ageing body and the ageing mind. It begins by observing how medieval Jews wrote of coping with their own decline or faced the reality of ageing with poignant honesty. It describes the Genizah letters, which depict the ageing body in great detail, from a lack of energy to failing faculties, to diminished sexual potency, and to whitening hair. It also explains the vulnerabilities of the ageing mind with genuine pathos, from increasing forgetfulness to debilitating forms of dementia. Within the context of the physical and mental ailments associated with age, the chapter reconstructs the medieval science and practice of geriatric medicine, tracing the main theories of ageing and growth of the field of gerontology. It details how old age was often depicted as a semi-pathological condition whose symptoms required treatment much like any other unhealthy condition.
