Authors: Osameka Oyindamola Mercy  , Eze Mabel Nkechinyere
Published: April 2024

African drama is generally believed to find its roots in the tradition and culture of the African society such as the celebration of the new yam festival (festivity) the display of masquerade, religious rituals, and the moonlight story (storytelling) therefore, African drama has been in existence before the emergence of the colonialism, African drama existed in form of action, through music and dance that was ritualized to express emotions such as terror, passion, and love. These actions were imitations of what the people wanted to happen so if they wanted to kill an enemy they would act out the process, religious and magical rituals were used and combined with dance and songs, with the emergence of Western drama which was brought through colonization, African drama became modernized to scripting of drama, use of language satirical plays, use of a curtain, theatre of the absurd, during colonialism, African drama such as the religious ritual was seen as a barbaric act by the colonial masters. The influence of this Western drama on African drama gave birth to what we call contemporary African drama. As we read the background and other parts of this paper we will understand the influence of Western drama on contemporary African drama.

Infusion-related reactions (IRRs) are a recognized concern for chemotherapy, biologic agents, and newer immunotherapies. Antihistamines are frequently recommended to prevent or manage these reactions. For over 60 years, diphenhydramine has been the only H1 antihistamine for intravenous (IV) administration. It has been considered the standard of care as part of premedication regimens to prevent IRRs associated with these therapies despite the lack of a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved indication and no evidence of efficacy data. Intravenous cetirizine was approved in 2019 for acute urticaria treatment, making it the only second-generation H1 antihistamine that can be administered intravenously. Compared with diphenhydramine, cetirizine has an improved safety profile with less sedation, fewer contraindications, lower incidence of anticholinergic side effects, and minimal risk of adverse events in elderly patients. A head-to-head study demonstrated that IV cetirizine is as effective as IV diphenhydramine in reducing IRRs and may decrease chair time, treatment center visits, and the need for rescue medication. Over the past 3 decades, the FDA has addressed the issue of IRRs by mandating language regarding the requirement or recommendation for premedication in the label of over 50 FDA-approved infusion products. As more therapeutics have premedication required or recommended, IV cetirizine should be considered an antihistamine for preventing and treating IRRs. In this article, we describe a patient whose IRR was successfully managed with IV cetirizine and discuss first- vs. second-generation H1 antihistamines and their use in treating and preventing IRRs.
The Ethics of Genetic Testing for Inherited Cancer-Predisposing Genes
Authors: Sorscher, MD Steven , T. DeTroye, MMS, PA-C, DFAAPA Alisha
Published: April 2024

Once an individual has been identified as a carrier of an inherited cancer-predisposing gene or pathogenic germline variant (PGV), there are measures that have been proven to prevent and diagnose the associated cancers at an earlier, more curable stage. Consequently, patients who are offered and undergo testing are afforded opportunities and health-care information that profoundly affect their lives and the lives of their family members who choose to be tested as well. For years, the debate over the controversial topic of whether all patients should be offered germline testing for cancer-predisposing PGVs centered around questions of the analytical sensitivity of the assays (i.e., the ability of the test to correctly identify those who carry a PGV), legal implications for those identified as PGV carriers, cost to the health-care system, and the uncertain management implications of test results. Currently, the standard of care is to offer testing to individuals where the anticipated benefits of testing outweigh the harms. Here, the ethical question of whether all patients have the right to testing for PGVs is considered.

Microbiological studies on soil samples from gardens for walking people and pets in two large neighbourhoods of the city of Sofia were carried out. The quantities of microorganisms from main groups, including pathogenic species, were determined with a view to evaluating the epizootological safety of these areas. Especially high were the values of the isolated Gram-negative bacteria (4.33x104 ±1.88 and 2.70x105 ±2.54), of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1.75x104 ±3.03 and 3.00x104 ±4.58), of staphylococci, including pathogenic mannitol-positive species (3.48x106 ±2.99 and 4.95 x106 ±3.96), as well as of the fungi. Oval fungi (5.50x104 ±3.77 and 1.55x105 ±1.12) and the causative agents of dermatomycosis tinea or ringworm (2.75x104 ±1.92 and 7.60x104 ±3.72) were present in significant quantities. However, the important sanitary indicative bacteria E. coli and C. perfringens were below the detectable minimum. It was found that in the area with greater movement of people and animals, the amounts of microorganisms from all the studied groups were higher. The results obtained show that urban areas with high traffic from pets and their owners can be a source of infection for animals and humans.

Assuming Photon as Extended Point Particle in the HyperSoft Topological Space and other Hypotheses: Issues and Trend Analysis
Authors: Christianto Victor , Smarandache Florentin
Published: April 2024

Following our preceding article, where we discussed alternative interpretations of the advanced perihelion of Mercury, the present article revisits the 1919 solar eclipse expedition led by Arthur Eddington, which famously provided the first observational confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We focus on the deflection of starlight data obtained during the eclipse, a cornerstone of this validation. Here, we explore three alternative explanations for the observed light bending that challenge the sole attribution to general relativity. Firstly, the paper begins by arguing based on criticisms raised by Tullio Levi-Civita, a contemporary mathematician, regarding Einstein's use of pseudo-tensors in his calculations. Levi-Civita argued that this approach introduced unnecessary complexity and obscured alternative interpretations of the data. Secondly, we delve into astrophysical phenomena that could mimic the observed light deflection, based on the varying speed of light, by assuming a photon has mass. (cf. ‘t Hooft et al., Light is Heavy). Moreover, in the literature, Molodtsov initiated soft set theory as an extension of fuzzy set theory to deal with uncertainties occurring in the natural and social sciences. It attracted the attention of mathematicians as well as social scientists due to its potential to unify certain mathematical aspects and applications in decision making processes; therefore, we shall discuss a bit how to model the photon as an extended massive particle of light, possibly related to such a soft set point [15, 16]. For further exploration, it is possible to assume the crystalline lattice of subvacuum structure (cf. Gremaud) as part of hypersoft topological spaces [16, 16a]. We strongly believe that the true strength of science lies in its continuous search for evidence and refinement of existing models.  Therefore, it can be expected that new data can be helpful to reevaluate these matters, for instance, in the upcoming eclipse in the next month of 2024.

Published: April 2024

The tooth autotransplantation is currently considered as a reliable method of replacing a lost tooth, especially in young individuals. In these persons, due to skeletal growth, conventional dental implants cannot be used, which have a negative impact on the growth of the alveolus and jaw at the anchorage. In contrast, the use of own teeth allows uninterrupted growth of both the alveolus and the jaw, and the fully integrated autograft behaves similarly to a naturally grown tooth in that location. This case report shows the use of autotransplantation for upper canine retention and subsequent replacement of the upper molar with a lower molar.
A STUDY ON SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE OF SECONDARY STUDENTS IN INDIA: REVIEW ANALYSIS
Authors: Dibya Jyoti Boruah  , Dr. Anga Padu
Published: April 2024

Social intelligence is “the capacity to comprehend and manage men, women, boys, and girls, as well as to act wisely in human relations” (1920). It can be defined as the ability of an individual to deal with new situations involving the relationships between members of a group in an efficient manner, according to Drever (1964). The years 13 to 18 make up adolescence. The quick changes that occur in adolescent kids' physical, emotional, and social lives provide a variety of difficulties. Students learn to adapt to society during their youth and can ready themselves to socialize in accordance with societal demands. Social intelligence develops further by means from the secondary stage. Students are encouraged to purchase additional items to live a life that conforms to society by the impact of their school environment and surrounding areas. The adolescent phase, which is important in terms of social intelligence, corresponds with secondary education.

Published: April 2024

The concept of incorporating environmental practices into human resource management, commonly referred to as Green HRM, has become increasingly popular. This is because sustainable development, particularly its ecological aspect, plays a crucial role in establishing a competitive edge for modern firms. The objective of the study was to compile a comprehensive inventory of the environmentally conscious human resource policies and processes used by startup enterprises in Poland, and subsequently assess their impact on the long-term sustainability of these organizations. In order to accomplish these objectives, a survey was conducted on a representative sample of 150 young enterprises. Based on the findings, the concept of Green HRM is relatively recent in Poland. There exists a strong correlation between the evaluation of the impact of particular Green HRM initiatives on the long-term sustainability of businesses and their subsequent implementation. The research indicates that a higher rating of an activity's impact resulted in its more frequent implementation in the evaluated firms. Based on the aforementioned analysis, it can be inferred that the dissemination of information regarding the favorable impacts of Green HRM on the sustainability of organizations is crucial in fostering greater adoption of this concept among young Polish enterprises.

Para ello, se acude a una literatura que pone de manifiesto la estrecha relación entre la historia de la sociedad judía y las fuerzas armadas, partiendo de la tesis de que su inclusión en las unidades de combate no surge exclusivamente como un fenómeno de autodefensa frente al antisemitismo o una imposición externa, sino también por una mejora de su participación ciudadana.
South Korea’s Soft Power to China: Taking K-pop as an Example
Authors: Zhang Leyi
Published: April 2024

With the deepening of globalisation and the rapid development of information technology, the competition for soft power among countries has become more intense. Against this background, South Korea, as an Asian country, has rapidly risen over the past few decades, becoming one of the models of possessing strong soft power. The origin and development of South Korea’s soft power success as well as its influence and inspiration on China is undoubtedly a subject of great interest. This paper employs literature research method and data analysis to explore the impact of South Korean soft power on China. By doing so, it aims to provide valuable insights for China’s cultural export, international image building, and global interactions, enabling China to effectively play its role on the international stage. South Korea's journey in harnessing its soft power, particularly in the domains of K-pop, cinema, and technology, has propelled it to the forefront of global cultural influence. Understanding how it has achieved this and how China can draw lessons from this success story is essential in an increasingly interconnected world.
An Analysis of Diploma Discrimination in Chinese Higher Vocational Education within the Context of a Knowledge-Based
Authors: Zeng Lijie
Published: April 2024

In the context of a knowledge-based society, the persistent problem of educational credential discrimination within higher vocational education remains a formidable challenge for graduates. This paper employs existing literature and data to undertake a comprehensive analysis of this prevailing phenomenon. Furthermore, it compares these findings with the practices observed in well-established vocational education systems of other developed nations, in order to elucidate the underlying issues associated with such discriminatory practices and put forth viable strategies for their alleviation. This discrimination results in a range of adverse consequences, including the depreciation of educational qualifications, diminished compensation packages, and obstacles to upward mobility. The roots of this issue can be attributed to various factors, including suboptimal educational quality in higher vocational institutions, disparities between general and vocational education, company recruitment practices, and the societal prioritization of Confucian values, often neglecting the importance of practical skills. It highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address these multifaceted challenges. Firstly, educational reforms are imperative to enhance the overall quality of higher vocational institutions, thereby increasing their competitiveness in the job market. Secondly, recalibrating vocational education and recruitment policies is essential to establish a more equitable system that values both academic and practical skills. Thirdly, fostering effective public discourse and conducting awareness campaigns play pivotal roles in challenging prevailing misconceptions and reshaping public attitudes towards vocational education. This research underscores the urgency of addressing educational credential discrimination within higher vocational education to ensure a fair and inclusive educational landscape in a knowledge-based society.
Cultural Transmission in Korean Genre Films: Examining the Disaster Movie “Train to Busan” as an Example
Authors: Shen Xinyi , Wang Minjie
Published: April 2024

In recent years, Korean films have become increasingly prosperous. In addition to borrowing from the classic Hollywood model, their genres have also widely incorporated local culture and values, revealing human nature. The combination of these two elements has broadened its dissemination worldwide and widely promoted Korean culture, providing some inspiration for the development of Chinese genre films. Taking the Korean disaster film “Train to Busan” as an example, this paper analyzes the general framework of cultural communication employed in South Korean films. By studying the film’s content and communication style, it becomes evident that Korean filmmakers blend local values into their narratives while referring to the Western film model. This nuanced approach not only captivates audiences but also carries cultural messages that resonate universally. At the same time, it is also compared with China’s films, which provides strategic reference for the international spread of Chinese films. By recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of both cinematic traditions, China's film industry can refine its strategies, enhancing its global reach while preserving its unique cultural identity. In essence, the success of Korean films offers valuable lessons and inspiration for the continued growth and influence of Chinese genre films in the global cinematic landscape.
Analysis of the Differences and Causes of Chinese and Japanese History Textbooks
Authors: Liu Jiayi , Lu Shuhe
Published: April 2024

The publication of Japanese middle school history textbooks caused great controversy between China and Japan, as well as between Japan and East Asian countries. This paper compares the differences in title, cause, content, illustration, and other aspects of Chinese and Japanese history textbooks in describing specific historical events, and finds through the analysis of differences that China is more objective in recording historical facts, while Japan has behaviors such as downplaying, distorting and denying historical facts. On this basis, the study believes that the reason for the difference between Chinese and Japanese history books is that China and Japan have different identities, traditional cultures, and goal pursuits. At the same time, only by proposing measures to narrow the existing differences between China and Japan by urging Japan to face up to and acknowledge relevant history, establish a common historical research organization, and promote cultural exchanges between the two countries can the relations between China and Japan develop healthily and in the long term.

Authors: Su Linghong
Published: April 2024

Under the reform policy of the New College Entrance Examination (NCE), students' choices are increased and at the same time, their ability to make choices is also challenged. Under the plurality of the system of higher education, whether the parents' education and social status will affect the news that students get and thus the choice of higher education. Nowadays, the number of research in China is relatively small, and most of the research vision is oriented to university education, with insufficient attention paid to the level of high school education. The systematic research related to it is almost in a blank condition, and the practical projects generally lack large-scale popularization, and the problems exposed in the interface between high school education and university education are numerous. There is very little cooperation between them, which is relatively neglected at the levels of school, society and family. Schools, society, families and other levels have been neglected. This paper will explore the reform of college guidance under the new college entrance examination policy, its impact and suggestions. High school education should be closely related to university education. In the face of the gap in information about university education, it is important for schools to improve the number and quality of teachers. The government should increase regulation of paid college counseling and shut down poor-quality counseling agencies.

The Improvement of the Selection Mechanism of International Students Coming to China: Take Countries along the Belt and Road as an Example
Authors: Huang Ronger
Published: April 2024

As China's influence grows globally, particularly after the introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, an increasing number of foreign students are choosing to pursue their higher education in China. Given this context, China is beginning to place an increasing emphasis on the quality control of its international student population. Thus, this essay examines China's current system of international student selection.  The examination reveals that there are issues with China's system for selecting international students. Both the language assessment and the academic ability evaluation are devoid of professionalism and refinement, as well as consistent criteria. Additionally, the preliminary mechanism has not gained traction or been useful, and other complementing, alternative mechanisms are disregarded. This paper offers recommendations from three perspectives—the language evaluation mechanism, the academic assessment mechanism, and the alternative assessment mechanism—to encourage the enhancement of the selection process for foreign students entering China. In order to support both the internationalization of higher education and the Belt and Road initiative, the Chinese government and universities should raise the bar for selecting international students and implement policies that are appropriate for the current state of affairs and the challenges facing the countries that form the route.

Authors: Jia Xunliang , Wang Chuchu
Published: April 2024

Previous studies on the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities were based on the black box model, and the results obtained were not comprehensive enough. This paper divides the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of universities into the knowledge research and development stage and the value transformation stage. The two-stage network DEA model is used to study the transformation efficiency of scientific and technological achievements of 55 subordinate universities based on the data from 2009 to 2017.The research in this paper finds that the overall efficiency of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Chinese universities is relatively stable, and the efficiency of the knowledge research and development stage is relatively high, but the efficiency of the value realization stage is seriously low, resulting in a low level of overall efficiency."985" engineering colleges and "double first-class" colleges have higher input and output efficiency, and cluster analysis is used to classify and summarize the technological transformation of each college. Finally, corresponding development suggestions are put forward.
Development and Dilemmas of Mass Democratic Identity Construction in the Context of the Myanmar Coup: An Analysis of Political Narratives
Authors: Shi Qinyun , Wang Like , Zhao Yipeng
Published: April 2024

This study examines the process of mass democratic identity construction in Myanmar and delineates the distinct characteristics of the government's political narratives during the period of Myanmar's democratic reform. The research finds that Myanmar managed to establish a democratic identity that continues to exhibit resilience in the aftermath of the coup. This resilience, observed at the level of political narratives, can be attributed to the transcultural features of ideological construction and the prominent influence of Buddhism, both well-suited to Myanmar's deep-seated social and religious foundations. However, following the coup, the loss of agency by the original narrative source, combined with the long-standing issues within Burmese society, has resulted in several political dilemmas hampering the development of democratic consciousness. These dilemmas are characterized by an immature democratic political culture, underdeveloped civil society, and frequent ethnic conflicts. The underlying reasons for these challenges can be traced back to the limitations of democratic political culture during Myanmar's democratic reform period and the absence of historical and cultural foundations in the country's democratic political system, which may constrain the long-term development of democratic consciousness following changes in the power structure.
