Hemolysis Pathways during Storage of Erythrocytes and Inter-Donor Variability in Erythrocyte Morphology
Authors: Melzak Kathryn A. , Spouge John L. , Boecker Clemens , Kirschhöfer Frank , Brenner-Weiss Gerald , Bieback Karen
Published: July 2020

Background: Red blood cells (RBCs) stored for transfusions can lyse over the course of the storage period. The lysis is traditionally assumed to occur via the formation of spiculated echinocyte forms, so that cells that appear smoother are assumed to have better storage quality. We investigate this hypothesis by comparing the morphological distribution to the hemolysis for samples from different donors. Methods: Red cell concentrates were obtained from a regional blood bank quality control laboratory. Out of 636 units processed by the laboratory, we obtained 26 high hemolysis units and 24 low hemolysis units for assessment of RBC morphology. The association between the morphology and the hemolysis was tested with the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Samples with high stomatocyte counts (p = 0.0012) were associated with increased hemolysis, implying that cells can lyse via the formation of stomatocytes. Conclusion: RBCs can lyse without significant echinocyte formation. Lower degrees of spiculation are not a good indicator of low hemolysis when RBCs from different donors are compared.

Patronage or Negotiation?
Authors: Mforbe Chiangong Pepetual
Published: July 2020

The collaboration between theatre directors and funding agencies can impede and/or promote the aesthetics and functionality of theatre performances, thus (dis)empowering the ordinary people. The paper, focusing on two performances, The Boomerang and Pamela’s Journal sponsored by the Fobang-Mundi Foundation and The Society for Women and AIDS in Africa-Cameroon (SWAA-C), explores the role of institutions and organisations that fund theatre projects in Africa to highlight the impact of patronage, specifically in contexts where the patron-artist relation is evoked. Questioning whether such projects could actually confer “power to the people,” depend on the negotiation skills and professionality of the theatre facilitator; the paper focuses on the beneficiaries of commissioned performances.
Transformative Power in Performance
Authors: Ngum Yvette
Published: July 2020

Despite the crucial role that performative arts play in enabling progressive transformation, education, healing and psychological protection for abuse on certain female bodies, often the intentions or agenda of such performances habitually outweighs the transformative potentials therein. In the context of this paper, my association with transformation is related to power in a performance that invites participants to reclaim the broken pieces of their lives as a form of agency. Tears in the Mirror, is based on my personal experience narrated in a performance-based project on sexual violence. In my position as the artist directing the play, I took down notes over a period of one-week rehearsal with the actor, representing my experience. The autoethnographic performance method for information sourcing was used with the actor. I used observation and discussion in the process and each stage reflected a continuing process of integrating the ‘doing’ of autoethnography with a critical reflection upon the subject matter. My findings showed that victims of sexual violence are more likely to identify with narratives of other victims during a performance. This is because in viewing the image of the actor on stage one is simultaneously viewing the self in the mirror of the other.

Authors: Huang Qiang , Cao Yongxing , Yang Chonglin , Li Xingchen , Xu Yangbo , Xu Xiangyang
Published: July 2020

Objective

This study was performed to analyze the clinical value of X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations for the diagnosis of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries in Weber type B ankle fractures with reference to the ankle arthroscopic findings.

Methods

This retrospective clinical study involved 52 patients with type B ankle fractures from August 2014 to January 2018. We analyzed the patients’ preoperative imaging data and judged the stability of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis using X-ray, CT, and MRI examinations. We also evaluated the syndesmosis stability with arthroscopy both statically and dynamically.

Results

With the arthroscopic findings as the standard, the sensitivity of X-ray for diagnosing syndesmosis instability was 52.8%, the specificity was 100%, and the diagnostic efficiency was 67.3%. The sensitivity of CT for diagnosing syndesmosis instability was 77.8%, the specificity was 100%, and the diagnostic efficiency was 84.6%. The sensitivity of MRI for diagnosing syndesmosis instability was 100%, the specificity was 81.3%, and the diagnostic efficiency was 94.2%.

Conclusion

This study suggests that an arthroscopic examination may be recommended when the X-ray or CT features are different from the MRI findings while diagnosing tibiofibular syndesmosis instability in Weber type B malleolar fractures.
Adaptive agent tracking approach for oil contamination in water environments
Authors: Huang Xiaoci , Yi Jianjun , Chen Yang , Zhu Xiaomin , Dai Zhiyong
Published: July 2020

The online monitoring of water environments is urgently needed. A feasible and effective approach is the use of agents. Water environments, similar to other real-world environments, present many changing and unpredictable situations. To ensure flexibility in such an environment, agents should be prepared to deal with various situations. In this study, we focused on an adaptive agent tracking approach for oil contamination. An integrated tracking framework, which is used to track the moving contour of oil pollution via a system comprising multiple unmanned surface vehicles, is proposed. The zigzag, unmanned underwater vehicle-gas, cloverleaf trajectory and curvature-weighted deployment algorithm methods are employed with consideration of their suitability to our approach. A cyclic particle swarm optimisation–Kalman method is also proposed. The possible position of moving vertices is predicted by the Kalman filter, and an objective search region is generated around the centre position. Moreover, particle swarm optimisation is performed to search for the best target position in this region. This particle swarm optimisation–Kalman method is circle operated to compensate for the deficiency of a few agents. To evaluate the approach, we conduct usability and performance simulations.
PM2.5 exposure induced renal injury via the activation of the autophagic pathway in the rat and HK-2 cell
Authors: Huang Xiaoliu , Zhou Zhitong , Liu Xinwen , Li Jue , Zhang Lijuan
Published: July 2020

Background

Exposure to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been declared to be harmful to human kidney. However, whether activation of the autophagic pathway plays key roles in the nephrotoxicity caused by PM2.5 exposure is still poorly understood. The aim of this study was to explore the mechanism of kidney damage after PM2.5 exposure in vivo and in vitro.

Results

In the present study, statistically significant alterations in water intake, urine flow rate and mean blood pressure were observed between the concentrated PM2.5 (PM2.5) group and the filtered air (FA) group. Exposed animals showed severe edema of renal tubular epithelial cells, capillary congestion, reduction of the glomerular urinary space and early pro-fibrotic state. Moreover, significant increases in the levels of early kidney damage markers were observed in the exposed rats and these animals exhibited more apoptosis rate in kidney cells. In addition, PM2.5 exposure activated the autophagic pathway, as evidenced by LC3-I to LC3-II conversion, activation of P62 and beclin-1. All of these effects are in concurrence with the presence of more autophagosomes both in vivo and in vitro after PM2.5 exposure.

Conclusions

Taken together, our findings indicated that PM2.5 induced renal function impairment via the activation of the autophagic pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells.
Modeling blood–brain barrier pathology in cerebrovascular disease in vitro: current and future paradigms
Authors: Andjelkovic Anuska V. , Stamatovic Svetlana M. , Phillips Chelsea M. , Martinez-Revollar Gabriela , Keep Richard F.
Published: July 2020

The complexity of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and neurovascular unit (NVU) was and still is a challenge to bridge. A highly selective, restrictive and dynamic barrier, formed at the interface of blood and brain, the BBB is a “gatekeeper” and guardian of brain homeostasis and it also acts as a “sensor” of pathological events in blood and brain. The majority of brain and cerebrovascular pathologies are associated with BBB dysfunction, where changes at the BBB can lead to or support disease development. Thus, an ultimate goal of BBB research is to develop competent and highly translational models to understand mechanisms of BBB/NVU pathology and enable discovery and development of therapeutic strategies to improve vascular health and for the efficient delivery of drugs. This review article focuses on the progress being made to model BBB injury in cerebrovascular diseases in vitro.
Nonlinear eigenvalue problems for nonhomogeneous Leray–Lions operators
Authors: Abdelwahed Mohamed , Chorfi Nejmeddine
Published: July 2020

This paper deals with the mathematical analysis of a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems driven by a nonhomogeneous differential operator. We are concerned both with the coercive and the noncoercive (and nonresonant) cases, which are in relationship with two associated Rayleigh quotients. The proof combines critical point theory arguments and the dual variational principle. The arguments developed in this paper can be extended to other classes of nonlinear eigenvalue problems with nonstandard growth.
Increase of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium strain type ST117 CT71 at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, 2008 to 2018
Authors: Weber Anna , Maechler Friederike , Schwab Frank , Gastmeier Petra , Kola Axel
Published: July 2020

Background

In addition to an overall rise in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm), an increase in certain strain types marked by sequence type (ST) and cluster type (CT) has been reported in Germany over the past few years. Outbreak analyses at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin revealed the frequent occurrence of VREfm ST117 CT71 isolates in 2017 and 2018. To investigate whether ST117 CT71 have emerged in recent years or whether these strains have been circulating for a longer time, we retrospectively analyzed non-outbreak strains that occurred between 2008 and 2018 to identify frequent STs and CTs.

Methods

In total, 120 VREfm isolates obtained from clinical and surveillance cultures from the years 2008, 2013, 2015, and 2018 were analyzed. Thirty isolates per year comprising the first 7–8 non-outbreak isolates of each quarter of the respective year were sequenced using whole genome sequencing. MLST and cgMLST were determined as well as resistance genes and virulence factors. Risk factors for VREfm ST117 were analyzed in a multivariable analysis with patient characteristics as possible confounders.

Results

The percentage of VREfm of type ST117 increased from 17% in 2008 to 57% in 2018 (p = 0.012). In 2008, vanA genotype accounted for 80% of all ST117 isolates compared to 6% in 2018. VanB CT71 first appeared in 2018 and predominated over all other ST117 at 43% (p < 0.0001).

The set of resistance genes (msrC, efmA, erm(B), dfrG, aac(6′)-Ii, gyrA, parC and pbp5) and virulence factors (acm, esp, hylEfm, ecbA and sgrA) in CT71 was also found in other ST117 non-CT71 strains, mainly in CT36. The study population did not differ among the different calendar years analyzed in terms of age, gender, length of stay, or ward type (each p > 0.2).

Conclusion

This study revealed an increase in ST117 strains from 2008 to 2018, accompanied by a shift toward CT71 strains with the vanB genotype in 2018. We did not detect resistance or virulence traits in CT71 that could confer survival advantage compared to other CTs among ST117 strains. To date, it is not clear why ST117 and in particular strain type ST117 CT71 predominates over other strains.
Efficacy of transmastoidal galvanic stimulation on recovery outcomes in patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Ahmed Reham Ali Mohamed Ali , Fahmy Ebtesam Mohamed , Awad Amina Mohamed , Hamdy Mona Mohamed , Shaker Hussein Ahmed Abd Rahman
Published: July 2020

Background

Peripheral vestibular disorders are common disorders among population with increased prevalence with age advancement, manifested by balance disorders and postural instability that negatively affect daily activities and social participation.

Objectives

To investigate the effect of transmastoidal galvanic stimulation added to a designed vestibular rehabilitation program on recovery outcomes in Egyptian patients with unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders.

Subjects and methods

Forty patients (from both sexes) diagnosed with unilateral peripheral vestibular weakness were evenly and randomly designated into two groups: study and control groups. The study group received transmastoidal galvanic stimulation, in addition to a vestibular rehabilitation program, whereas control group undergone vestibular rehabilitation program only. Treatment sessions were conducted three times weekly for four successive weeks. Assessment of vestibular canal weakness was carried out using videonystagmography, postural stability using computerized posturography, while participation in daily activities was carried out using Vestibular Disorders Activities of Daily Living Scale (VADL). All assessment measures were carried out pre- and post-treatment.

Results

Study group showed improvement of post-treatment scores of canal weakness, postural stability parameters, and VADL scale in reverse to control group that showed improvement of scores of preference and VADL only. A statistically significant difference was found between both groups in post-treatment scores of canal weakness, total equilibrium composite, and vestibular component with more improvement in the study group.

Conclusion

Adding transmastoidal galvanic stimulation to vestibular rehabilitation exercises for unilateral peripheral vestibular disorders improves the recovery outcomes of vestibular canal weakness, equilibrium, and vestibular components of postural stability.

Association between polymorphism in BMP15 and GDF9 genes and impairing female fecundity in diabetes type 2
Authors: Al-Thuwaini Tahreer
Published: July 2020

Background

A shortened reproductive period and earlier menopause have been associated with type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 9(GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) gene mutations have been associated with earlier menopause. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between BMP15 and GDF9 mutations with impairing female fecundity in diabetic patients. The study subjects comprised 90 female diabetic patients and 60 female healthy controls. The physio-biochemical analysis was measured using enzymatic determination. A single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) protocol was utilized to assess the pattern of genetic variations.

Results

Genotyping analysis of the BMP15 gene showed a heterogeneous pattern with the presence of two genotypes: AA and AC genotypes. Five novel missense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the BMP15 gene: four SNPs detected in both genotypes, and Met4Leu, a specific SNP, was detected only in the AC genotype. Cumulative in silico tools indicated a highly deleterious effect for the Met4Leu on the mutant protein structure, function, and stability. Diabetes patients showed a significantly higher frequency of genotype AC. The physio-biochemical analysis of fasting plasma glucose (FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and luteinizing hormone (LH) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in AC genotype than AA genotype.

Conclusions

The current research provides the first indication regarding the tight association of BMP15 polymorphism with the impairing female fecundity in the diabetic. A pivotal role is played by the novel (Met4Leu) SNP that can be used as a predictor for the impairing female fecundity of diabetes, while no polymorphism was found in exon 4 of the GDF9 gene.
Early and frequent exposure to antibiotics in children and the risk of obesity: systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Authors: Srivastava Archita , Chau Kim , Kwon Henry , Guo Qin , Johnston Bradley C.
Published: July 2020

Background: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the available evidence on prenatal and early infancy antibiotic exposure and the association with overweight and obesity in later childhood.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science for observational studies assessing prenatal and early antibiotic exposure on the risk of overweight and obesity. We independently assessed the risk of bias using the ROBINS instrument and the overall quality of evidence using the GRADE approach.

Results: Our search identified thirteen observational studies including 554,983 participants; most studies were at moderate risk of bias. We found a statistically significant impact of early antibiotic exposure and the risk of being overweight later in childhood (OR 1.18; 95% CI 1.05 to 1.34) (very low quality evidence). We also found that early childhood antibiotic exposure was associated with the risk for childhood obesity (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.24) (very low quality evidence).

Conclusions: Very low quality evidence suggests that exposure to antibiotics early in life may be associated with an increased risk of being overweight and obese in later childhood.  However, very low quality evidence raises serious questions about the plausibility of prenatal and early infancy antibiotic exposure being causally related to weight in children.

Behaviour and Social Skills in Children Aged 3-5: Relationship with Sensory Processing
Authors: Oliveira Margarida Isabel Araújo , Da Silva Reis Helena Isabel
Published: July 2020

Children with difficulties in sensory regulation show challenges in many areas, including externalized and internalized beahiour problems.
Methods: This study intended to determine the implications of sensory processing in the behaviour and in the social skills of 100 children, aged from 3-5, with typical development, through Sensory Processing Measure and Preschool and Kindergarten Behaviour Scales.
Results: Significant associations were found between sensory processing difficulties and behaviour problems, between the total of the spm-p scale and internalized behaviour problems (p= .000); and the total of the spm-p scale and externalized behaviour problems (p= .000). The study showed a high prevalence of difficulties in sensory processing, not only in the home context but also in kindergarten, in undiagnosed children, with impact on multiple sensory systems. In children with dysfunction in sensory processing, it was possible to detect that hyporesponsive children have greater problems in terms of autonomy and the hiper-responsive ones have more difficulties in behaviour regulation.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the higher difficulties in sensory processing the higher problems in the behavior are manifested in preschool children.

What does hospitality look like when immigrants are ‘wanted’? The case of the immigration selection process in Quebec, Canada
Authors: Araya-Moreno Javiera
Published: July 2020

Recent scholarly work in the social sciences has engaged with the concept of hospitality in order to explore immigration dynamics, especially in relation to the situation of asylum-seekers. As an ambivalent concept, it captures the tension between, on the one hand, the act of hosting and welcoming foreigners and, on the other, controlling their entry. In this article, I reflect on the relevance of this concept for the study of the bureaucratic process of selecting qualified immigrants in Quebec, which aims to identify those future ‘skilled’ immigrants who would be most likely to integrate, both culturally and economically. These migrants, far from being unwanted, constitute the core of the federal and provincial immigration policies and the main mechanism through which a foreigner could obtain permanent residency in Canada. Through a fictional narrative based on my fieldwork with permanent residents living in Montreal, I show how the immigration selection system works in practice. Applied to the case of selected immigrants, the concept of hospitality forces us to distinguish practices from national discourses.
Information literacy practices of young Internet users related to the production of religious content: 2019 Algerian protests case
Authors: Tudor Mihaela-Alexandra , Ladjouzi Farid
Published: July 2020

This article aims to explore the creative practices of young Algerian Internet users related to the production of religious content within the context of the protest movement post 22 February 2019. It questions the place of the Islamic religion in the Algerian protests in the light of religious redocumentarized contents on Facebook (photos). The research is based on the methodological approach of redocumentarization linked with information literacy practices. The results highlight two aspects. Spirituality and faith instilled by redocumentarized photos of religious nature play a catalytic and fuelling role in this popular movement. The Algerian youth information literacy represents the beginning of digital citizen participation.
Remaking national identity: Postcolonial discourses at the intersection of gender and race in Tutto può succedere
Authors: Sammartino Eleonora
Published: July 2020

In the context of global migrations, ‘new Italians’ have emerged in a group of mainstream TV series, among which Tutto può succedere (‘Anything can happen’) (RAI 1, 2015–18) stands out as the remake of the American Parenthood. This article argues that this process of cultural translation reveals tensions over the negotiation of national identity in Italian society, due to recent migrations and the submerged colonial past. Through the adoption of an intersectional approach, the analysis of the interracial relationship between Feven, an Eritrean-born woman, and Carlo will highlight that the postracial discourses underlying Parenthood are superseded by postcolonial ones in the remake. I demonstrate that the Othering of Feven through sexualization and exoticization exposes the persistence of colonial stereotypes. However, the displacement of race onto gender preoccupations through the prism of postfeminism highlights the attempted ‘normalization’ of the Other, further engaging with the specificities of the Italian context through its association with religion.

Authors: Rodrigues Fernanda Odete Souza , Vasconcelos Henrique Guimarães , Nogueira Miriam Barbosa
Published: July 2020

Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência do transtorno depressivo em acadêmicos de medicina conforme idade, sexo e período do curso em que se encontravam. Métodos: Revisão sistemática de artigos publicados nos últimos 15 anos nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, dentre os quais sete estudos corresponderam aos critérios de inclusão pré-estabelecidos nesta pesquisa. Resultados: A prevalência de sintomas depressivos variou entre 8,9% e 79%, sendo as mulheres mais acometidas pelo transtorno. Foram considerados como fatores desencadeantes a carga horária excessiva, amplo conteúdo programático e insegurança quanto à aprendizagem e ao desempenho nas avaliações curriculares e provas de residência. Considerações finais: A jornada acadêmica, desde a preparação para o vestibular até o internato, impacta significativamente na saúde psicológica dos estudantes de medicina. Embora a prevalência da depressão nesses alunos seja superior à média da população geral, a busca por assistência psicológica pelos acadêmicos é, ainda, insatisfatória. Palavras-chave: Saúde Mental, Transtorno Depressivo, Estudantes de Medicina.

Published: July 2020

O marketing de relacionamento empresarial evoluiu ao longo dos anos de modo a melhor se adaptar às necessidades do mercado empresarial, bem como às necessidades dos clientes e consumidores. Fruto dessa evolução é o Costumer Relationship Manengment (CRM) que tem sido difundido entre as empresas para a captação de informações sobre seus clientes, visando utilizá-las para projetar um relacionamento a longo prazo. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo surge a partir do seguinte questionamento: de que forma o CRM pode contribuir para o relacionamento com os clientes de uma empresa por intermédio do marketing de relacionamento? Para responder a esta pergunta, elencou-se com objetivo geral discutir a utilização do CRM como estratégia de marketing de relacionamento no acompanhamento do ciclo de vida do cliente. Como objetivos específicos, buscou-se (i) analisar as contribuições do CRM para o marketing de relacionamento; (ii) apresentar ferramentas de CRM que podem auxiliar na fidelização de clientes; e (iii) compreender as implicações da fidelização do cliente para a manutenção do capital empresarial. Para tal, realizou-se um estudo bibliográfico-exploratório pautado na abordagem qualitativa da literatura especializada, constatando que o CRM, de fato, pode contribuir para a fidelização dos clientes e aumento do lucro das empresas por ser mais barato do que os investimento para a obtenção de novos clientes, porém, demanda por transformações em toda a instituição, pois, mais do que um programa de computador, o CRM é um conceito/filosofia que irá balizar as ações da empresa.

Uma educação contextualizada se apresenta como de fundamental importância para desmistificar essa realidade no campo, em geral, negativamente difundida. O presente estudo objetivou uma discussão sobre as concepções pedagógicas e adequações curriculares nas escolas do campo. A metodologia consistiu em revisão integrativa  com base nos aportes teóricos de autores como Araújo (2017), cuja contribuição evidenciou a necessidade e importância de consolidação de uma base curricular contextualizada com a realidade dos alunos e a importância desses saberes para valorizar e promover o desenvolvimento local; Martins (2000); Nóvoa (1992), ao defender a necessidade do diálogo entre escola e comunidade, na busca de dar sentido ao que se faz a cada instante; Antunes-Rocha (2012) que traz a compreensão de educação e desenvolvimento sustentável para o meio rural e em especial para a região semiárida; Lima e Melo (2016) traz em sua essência a dimensão politizadora da educação, compreendendo-a enquanto instrumento de humanização, libertação e emancipação dos sujeitos do campo. Os resultados nos levaram a crer que a modernidade traz muitos desafios no campo educacional, mas talvez o mais desafiador seja como nos adequar de forma rápida e, diante de tantas demandas novas? É possível que o currículo contextualizado seja uma das alternativas mais viáveis, para se atender a demanda educacional na contemporaneidade.

Authors: Langevoort Donald C.
Published: July 2020

In this brief essay, I want to call something Lynn Stout was passionate about: building a better account (both theoretical and empirical) of human nature and motivation. This was the subject of a book that extended well beyond the corporate world (Cultivating Conscience [2011]) and was implicit in her most complete set of thoughts about corporate governance, The Shareholder Value Myth (2012). Lynn understood that such a behavioral account was needed to support her theory of corporate purpose. The other CONVIVIUM contributions say little about this aspect of her work, so I am bringing her thoughts about human motivation frontstage.
Protection of Patient Confidentiality from a Civil Law Perspective
Authors: Janiszewska Beata
Published: July 2020

The paper analyses the issue of protection of patient confidentiality by means of civil law instruments. Protection of the patient’s interests related to the preservation of medical information beyond the access of unauthorized persons can be realized primarily through the protection of the patient’s right to medical secrecy and the protection of human personal interests in the form of the right to privacy. The study presents the issue of the violation of the patient’s confidentiality and the claims to be made in connection with such violation. A wider reflection is devoted to the issue of a claim for compensation for damage resulting from the violation of the patient’s rights and the infringement of his/her personal rights, as well as the effects of the co-occurring of these claims, both in the material and procedural perspectives.
An Outline of the National Archives and Library of Ethiopia
Authors: Hryćko Katarzyna
Published: July 2020

Ethiopia is a country of a centuries-old tradition and history of writing. It possessed its own unique system for gathering materials of historical importance and a pecular library system. Throughout the years manuscripts were kept under the custody of Ethiopian Church monks. In the 20th century Ethiopia’s succesive rulers attached great importance to the building of a European style central repository of all written materials. They established and gradually developed the National Archives and Library of Ethiopia (NALE). The paper outlines the history of NALE from its beginnings up to now.

Hungary and the Italo–Ethiopian Conflict (1935–1936)
Authors: Szélinger Balázs
Published: July 2020

Between the two World Wars the main policy of Hungarian diplomacy was the possible revision of the Trianon Peace Treaty. Until 1935 they believed in a peaceful way under the aegis of the League of Nations with the help of Italy. The Italo-Ethiopian conflict, however, totally disrupted these plans. Although the Hungarian political elite tried to stand by Mussolini, their abstention from the sanctions indicated a changed direction toward Germany and militarism. This study, using unpublished Hungarian archival sources, reveals the inner struggles of the desperate Hungarian government.
Une source nouvelle de l’Histoire de la Reine du Matin et de Soliman, Prince des Génies de Gérard de Nerval
Authors: Beylot Robert
Published: July 2020

In his work about Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Gérard de Nerval brings three characters together, Solomon, the Queen and Adoniram. He was interested in a French author of the XVIIIth century, Nicolas Lenglet-Dufresnoy. Nerval seems to have read in a book of the same, about Hermetism, the title of a work from Michael Maier, German alchemist of the late Renaissance, the Septimana Philosophica which consists of a philosophical dialogue between Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and Hyram, Prince of Tyre, about Nature’s aenigma. It is suggested that the French writer could have known also two other works from Michael Maier.

Land Politics in the Ethiopian-Eritrean Border Area between Emperor Yoḥannǝs IV and Mǝnilǝk II
Authors: Taddia Irma
Published: July 2020

The complex issue of the land tenure system in 19th and 20th century Ethiopia–Eritrea has a tridimensional aspect that constitutes the basis of my reflection here: the native conception of land, the imperial Ethiopian policy and the colonial intervention. A correct evaluation of this interrelation can be properly understood by focusing on a corpus of integrated sources related to local written documentation, oral records and colonial reports. The control of the northern border by Emperors Yoḥannǝs and Mǝnilǝk created various historical problems and a debate focusing on independence and the maintenance of a political autonomy of the Märäb Mǝllaš. Land tenure system is the key factor for understanding the dynamic of power relations in the area at the eve of colonial rule.

Ein amharischer Atlas aus Malta
Authors: Wagner Ewald
Published: July 2020

In August 2008 Professor Dr. Hans H. Kaminsky of the Institute of History of the University of Giessen, gave me an Amharic atlas, printed in Malta, which he had bought several years ago, at the Giessen flee-market. The atlas is now in the possession of the Hiob Ludolf Zentrum für Äthiopistik of the Asien-Afrika-Institut, Universität Hamburg. The article places the atlas into the historical context of the educational efforts of German protestant missionaries who worked under the auspices of the Church Missionary Society in Ethiopia, during the first half of the 19th century. It also sheds light on the Society’s printing activities in Malta.

Languages of Ethiopia and Languages of the 1994 Ethiopian Census
Authors: Hudson Grover
Published: July 2020

The 1994 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia gathered considerable information of linguistic interest, notably the number of speakers of seventy-seven languages which it recognized. The Census’s list is largely consistent with lists of languages recognized in current research by Ethiopianist linguists. However, problems of two sorts arise in the Census list: dialects counted as languages and languages counted as dialects. Survey of research in Ethiopian linguistics supports instead the existence of seventy-three Ethiopian languages now spoken, a list of languages and their dialects which includes varieties of speech recognized and unrecognized by the Census.

Intersectionality and Autoethnography: DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Deaf and Hard of Hearing-Latinx Children Are the Future
Authors: García-Fernández Carla
Published: July 2020

Deaf-Latinx K–12 students are the largest group of racially minoritized students in the US, lagging far behind the complimentary proportion of Deaf-whites in obtaining degrees. Educational institutions have sustained and reproduced privilege and inequality patterns. This article explores how using Deaf-Latinx Critical Theory (Deaf-LatCrit) in educational research facilitates Deaf-Latinx epistemology, intersectionality, and cultural intuition in autoethnography. It effectively captured how I, a first-generation DeafChicana college student, navigated structural inequity in educational institutions. When extant literature and resources are limited, counter-stories must be included to expand knowledge about issues of educational equity, and promote accountability, decision-making, and action. Autoethnography validates my DeafChicana existence and calls for attention to multiple interlocking issues within the educational system. Deaf-LatCrit and autoethnography provided the platform for me to conduct this study, which derives primarily from my own higher educational experiences. This Deaf-Latinx ethnographic study provided me a valuable tool and a safe outlet to reflect on my academic experiences, and exposed five thematic concerns: raciolinguicism, interpreter quality, classroom exclusion, institutional and structural systems, and professional development. Recommendations are included to help individuals become more aware of unconscious and conscious discriminations so we can together improve support for DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, Deaf, and Hard of Hearing-Latinx students in higher education.
Feminatives in the News of the First Channel of Public Radio
Authors: Nagornyak Maya
Published: July 2020

The objective of the study is to examine the situation caused by the use of feminine gender-specific job titles forms in the news reports of the First channel of Public Radio. The method of empirical analysis was used, which made it possible to monitor a considerable audio array of radio news; due to the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, we managed to structure the identified feminine gender-specific job titles according to the certain features; the method of generalization contributed to identification of the reasons caused by non-use of feminine gen-der-specific job titles in the public service broadcasting of Public Radio.

There is a widespread use of feminine gender-specific job titles to designate positions and titles of womanhood, most of all for government and military departments. At the same time, the frequency of use of feminine gender-specific job titles to denote women in politics, public life, and their professional affiliation is low. The news monitoring during a month showed a positive trend in use of feminine gender-specific job titles, which made it possible to speak of the radio journalists’ efforts to comply with language standards.

The high frequency of use of certain words and the low frequency of use of others convince us that the Ukrainian media are not yet ready to use absolutely the feminine gender-specific job titles in their programs. This phenomenon cannot be considered as negative, since the norms of the new version of the Ukrainian spelling are still slowing the way in the Ukrainian society, but the intensiver the Public Radio will use feminine gender-specific job titles in different types of broadcasting, the sooner they will be incorporated into the daily life of Ukrainians.
