Authors: Samuel EZUKA Chukwuemeka , Patience OKORO Deborah , Cyrus ENEH Nnajiofor
Published: August 2022

This study examines how Twitter aided the youth mobilisation for the EndSARS protest and if the Celebrities' tweets on Twitter instigated participation by the youth. An online questionnaire-based cross-sectional study design was adopted for this research. The information collected with the questionnaire includes the sociodemographic parameters, information on the role of social media in their participation in the end SARS protest, and the contribution of celebrity tweets. A total of 308 respondents aged between 20 – 39 years were interviewed by the end of the study, and their descriptive analysis was presented using SPSS version 25. The result showed that most of the participants in the EndSARS protest were moved by the information gotten from the Twitter space 231(75.0) and that posts on Twitter influence the decision-making processes of many of the respondents but to different degrees. Unexpectedly, though a significant number 154(50.0) of the respondents followed celebrity tweets during the protest, many 182(59.1) claimed those tweets had no additional influence in encouraging them to join the protest as they would have still participated in the protest with or without them.

Published: August 2022

Senior High School Program prepares students for college by providing them with the skills, competencies, and knowledge they need to succeed in areas that match their strengths, passions, and abilities. Selecting a degree program that corresponds to their learning strand is perceived as a tool for achieving high learning outcomes in college. Using the descriptive-correlational method, the study investigated the association between the Senior High School Learning Strand and the General Weighted Average in a State University of the Philippines. The respondents are the two hundred fifty-six third-year college students who attended Senior High School and are studying Bachelor of Science in Information Technology, Bachelor of Industrial Technology, Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics, Bachelor of Elementary Education, and Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education Majorin Home Economics. The majority of respondents came from the Technical Vocational Livelihood Strand (TVL), implying that Filipinos place higher importance on education than on employment. Furthermore, the study found that the Senior High School Learning Strand has a significant impact on the students' Grade Point Average. Most of the respondent’s grades are interpreted very good. This means that the Senior High School Learning Strand is a profound preparation for tertiary education. It is recommended that new standards be established in the admission policies in which the Senior High School Learning Strands are given significance.

La región del Soconusco ubicada en el estado de Chiapas es de gran importancia por ser la zona agrícola más productiva de ese estado, allí se cultivan más de veinte especies vegetales entre las que se encuentran algunas de ciclo corto y otras perennes. La palma de aceite (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) se ha introducido recientemente y se desconoce su distribución potencial, considerando las características naturales que hay en la zona. Por ello, se planteó estudiarla y analizarla desde la perspectiva edafo-climática, haciendo uso de la información existente y la herramienta de zonificación agroecológica propuesta por la FAO adaptada para México e implementada en la región, para conocer los atributos ambientales predominantes en la zona. Como resultado se encontró que existen 38 000 hectáreas sin restricción alguna para el cultivo y 115 500 hectáreas en donde se tiene cierto nivel de restricción. Esta última porción de territorio podría ser atendida para producir mayor cantidad y calidad de fruta, llegando a la conclusión de que aún puede ampliarse la superficie cultivada con esta palma en la zona.

Published: August 2022

México se ha convertido en el principal importador de maíz; los pequeños productores utilizan sistemas de producción basados en policultivos con rendimientos bajos. Con el objetivo de desarrollar tecnologías para el cultivo de maíz y frijol se estableció el siguiente experimento. Se probaron tres arreglos topológicos, cultivo simple de maíz y frijol, intercalado de maíz y  frijol a una y dos hileras. Se utilizó un diseño completamente al azar, con tres repeticiones por tratamiento. Las variables evaluadas fueron biomasa aérea, rendimiento de grano, índice de cosecha y eficiencia relativa de la tierra (ERT) y, eficiencia relativa de la ganancia (ERG). No fue posible la producción de frijol en este sistema. Los tratamientos de intercalado a dos hileras presentaron los mejores valores para las variables, excepto índice de cosecha. La variedad V-526 tuvo el mayor índice. En el segundo año no se encontraron diferencias entre arreglos topológicos, probablemente debido a la disminución en la precipitación. En ese año el índice de cosecha fue mayor en la variedad VETX-200 UAN. Al igual que en la primera evaluación, la eficiencia relativa de la tierra, el ingreso neto y la eficiencia relativa de la ganancia fue similar en ambas variedades. Para realizar el cultivo intercalado de maíz y frijol es necesario probar otras variedades de frijol. Es posible obtener buenos rendimientos, eficiencia relativa de la tierra y de la ganancia en sistemas intercalados de maíz a doble hilera.
Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index and the Risk of Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography
Authors: Yılmaz Fatih
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The present study aims to investigate the association between contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and inferior vena cava collapsibility index (IVC-CI) measured via echocardiography to estimate intravascular volume.

Patients and Methods: A total of 100 patients were referred to coronary angiography (CAG). On the day of admission, blood samples were collected, and an echocardiographic evaluation was performed to estimate IVC-CI immediately before CAG. IVC-CI ratios were stratified into three groups (low, mid, high) (<50%, 50-75%, >75%). Creatinine was assessed again at 48 hours following the CAG procedure. The difference between baseline serum creatinine and serum creatinine at 48 hours was calculated as ΔCrea while the difference in GFR was calculated as ΔGFR. Biochemical parameters and CIN ratios were compared between all groups.

Results: There were no differences across the groups in terms of procedural characteristics, preprocedural lab parameters, and concomitant medication. ΔCreatinine, ΔGFR, and the incidence of CIN were significantly higher in the high IVC-CI group.

Conclusion: Post-procedure incidence of CIN, ΔGFR, and Δcreatinine compared to the pre-procedure values were higher in the high IVC-CI group.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Although the link between coronary artery disease (CAD) and periodontal disease has previously been demonstrated, there is insufficient research on how the severity of both diseases impact each other. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the severity of periodontal disease and the diffuseness of CAD in diabetic patients.

Patients and Methods: A total of 127 diabetic patients with CAD were included in this study. The SYNTAX score determined the diffuseness of CAD, and the patients were divided into two groups as the SYNTAX score ≤22 and >22. The plaque index and periodontal disease index were used in the dental evaluation. The relationship of these indexes to the diffuseness of coronary artery disease has been investigated.

Results: In this study, the plaque index and periodontal disease index correlate significantly with the high SYNTAX score in diabetic patients. In univariate logistic regression analysis, PDI was a predictive variable for the SYNTAX score above 22 in diabetic patients. According to the ROC curve analysis, it was shown that the periodontal disease index of 4.3 could predict a high SYNTAX score.

Conclusion: To sum up, we found a significant relationship between periodontal disease severity and coronary artery disease diffuseness. PDI was found to be a predictor of a high SYNTAX score.
Investigation of the Cardiac Autonomic Functions in Patients with Essential Tremor
Authors: Yaşar Hasan , Büyüklü Mutlu
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Essential tremor is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary shaking. The aim of this study was to examine cardiac autonomic functions in patients diagnosed with essential tremor, as previous studies have differed in their findings regarding whether cardiac autonomic functions are affected in essential tremor patients.

Patients and Methods: The study included 32 patients diagnosed with essential tremor and 26 individuals without any diseases as the control group. Consensus criteria were used for the diagnosis of essential tremor. A clinical rating scale was utilized to measure the characteristics and degree of essential tremor. Based on this scale, patients were classified as having a mild, moderate, marked, or severe disability. An exercise treadmill test was performed in both the tremor and control groups. Chronotropic index values were used to evaluate the sympathetic system, and resting heart rate index values were calculated to evaluate the parasympathetic system. Heart rate recovery values were calculated at one, two, three, four, and five minutes after the exercise treadmill test.

Results: The descriptive characteristics of the tremor and control groups were similar. The Chronotropic index values were statistically different between the tremor and control groups, as they were significantly decreased in the tremor group. This was evaluated as sympathetic incompetence. The resting heart rate index values did not differ significantly between the tremor and control groups at minutes one or two, but they were significantly higher in the tremor group at minutes three, four, and five. The parasympathetic activity was found to be insufficient in the later period.

Conclusion: The findings suggest that cardiac autonomic functions may be affected in patients with essential tremor.

Introduction: Despite advances in prevention, medical, and surgical treatment, the global prevalence of infective endocarditis (IE) has been gradually rising over the last two decades. However, the profile of IE varies by continent, geographic region, and hospital type. In this study, we aimed to investigate the epidemiological and clinical features of IE and to determine the factors predicting in-hospital mortality.

Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out at a single tertiary health care hospital in Türkiye. A total of 104 consecutive patients (>18 years old) who were hospitalized with IE between January 2016 and August 2021 were included. Modified Duke criteria were used to diagnose IE. Demographic information (age and gender), underlying heart diseases, comorbidities, causative microorganisms, blood culture results, echocardiographic findings, cardiac and extracardiac complications, surgical requirements, and in-hospital mortality were all examined.

Results: The study included 104 IE cases (mean age: 57.2 ± 15.9 years; 59.6% males). Fifty-six patients (53.9%) had native valve IE, 37 patients (35.6%) had prosthetic valve IE, and four patients (3.8%) had devicerelated IE. Blood cultures were negative in 62 cases (59.6%). Staphylococcus aureus was the most common responsible microorganism in 17 patients [methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus in 13 (12.5%), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus in four (3.8%)]. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 30.8%. White blood cell count (OR= 1.002, 95% CI= 1.001-1.003) creatinine (OR= 1.45, 95% CI= 1.08-2.00), acute renal failure (OR= 8.60, 95% CI= 2.27-37.81), and cerebrovascular accidents (OR= 4.58, 95% CI= 1.21-18.85) were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality.

Conclusion: In line with developed countries, the epidemiology and causative pathogens of IE in Türkiye have been changing. Investigating these epidemiological and clinical changes may serve as a basis for strategies to be developed for the prevention and treatment of IE.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: The right heart is more unknown than the left heart, because of less research. With it, its importance is understood, when right heart related diseases are considered. The relation between coronary vascularity and cardiac function is indisputable. There are no research about the effect of coronary dominance, that is anatomical variation merely, upon cardiac function. We investigated difference of right or left domination on right ventricle functions using echocardiography.

Patients and Methods: Working group was contained patients who is done coronary angiography with any indication. Patients were categorized right dominant and non-dominant on coronary angiography. At the same time, the origin of posterior descending artery was determined. There were 2 groups and each of them had 40 patients. Patients who had >50% stenosis on coronary arteries, myocardial infarct previously, cardiac valve disease, chronic obstructive lung disease and pulmoner embolism in past were excluded. Right ventricle functions were investigated using Echocardiography by the same operator. The results were evaluated and calculated average value by two different operators. We used Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney U Test in evaluation of statistics.

Results: There was no difference between groups in terms of the right ventricular functions; TAPSE (26.47 ± 3.39 vs 25.31 ± 5.19 p= 0.096), FAC (43.19 ± 9.18 vs 47.5 ± 10.7 p= 0.720), GLS by STE (20.55 ± 4.033 vs 19.73 ± 4.71 p= 0.451), RIMP (53.84 ± 11.2 vs 52.93 ± 9.01 p= 0.947).

Conclusion: The effect of right coronary artery dominance on right ventricle functions was not obtained significant.

Abstract. Permafrost-affected soils contain large quantities of soil organic carbon (SOC). Changes in the SOC pool of a particular ecosystem can be related to its net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB) in which the balance of carbon (C) influxes and effluxes is expressed. For polygonal tundra landscapes, accounts of ecosystem carbon balances in the literature are often solely based on estimates of vertical carbon fluxes. To fill this gap, we present data regarding the lateral export rates of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from a polygonal tundra site in the north Siberian Lena River delta, Russia. We use water discharge observations in combination with concentration measurements of waterborne carbon to derive the lateral carbon fluxes from one growing season (2 June–8 September 2014 for DOC, 8 June–8 September 2014 for DIC). To put the lateral C fluxes into context, we furthermore present the surface–atmosphere eddy covariance fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from this study site. The results show cumulative lateral DIC and DOC fluxes of 0.31–0.38 and 0.06–0.08 g m−2, respectively, during the 93 d observation period (8 June–8 September 2014). Vertical turbulent fluxes of CO2-C and CH4-C accumulated to −19.0 ± 1.2 and 1.0 ± 0.02 g m−2 in the same period. Thus, the lateral C export represented about 2 % of the net ecosystem exchange of (NEE) CO2. However, the relationship between lateral and surface–atmosphere fluxes changed over the observation period. At the beginning of the growing season (early June), the lateral C flux outpaced the surface-directed net vertical turbulent CO2 flux, causing the polygonal tundra landscape to be a net carbon source during this time of the year. Later in the growing season, the vertical turbulent CO2 flux dominated the NECB.

Abstract. The mechanisms leading to the occurrence of extreme weather and climate events are varied and complex. They generally encompass a combination of dynamic and thermodynamic processes, as well as drivers external to the climate system, such as anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and land use change. Here we present the ExtremeX multi-model intercomparison experiment, which was designed to investigate the contribution of dynamic and thermodynamic processes to recent weather and climate extremes. The numerical experiments are performed with three Earth system models: CESM, MIROC, and EC-Earth. They include control experiments with interactive atmosphere and land surface conditions, as well as experiments wherein the atmospheric circulation, soil moisture, or both are constrained using observation-based data. The temporal evolution and magnitude of temperature anomalies during heatwaves are well represented in the experiments with a constrained atmosphere. However, the magnitude of mean climatological biases in temperature and precipitation are not greatly reduced in any of the constrained experiments due to persistent or newly introduced biases. This highlights the importance of error compensations and tuning in the standard model versions. To show one possible application, ExtremeX is used to identify the main drivers of heatwaves and warm spells. The results reveal that both atmospheric circulation patterns and soil moisture conditions substantially contribute to the occurrence of these events. Soil moisture effects are particularly important in the tropics, the monsoon areas, and the Great Plains of the United States, whereas atmospheric circulation effects are major drivers in other midlatitude and high-latitude regions.
Anarchist and Anarchistic Anti-Systemic Movements in World-Systems Perspective
Authors: Potiker Spencer Louis , Williams Dana , Alimahomed-Wilson Jake
Published: August 2022

While world-systems anti-systemic movement scholarship has briefly acknowledged the existence of anti-state “cultural” movements—namely, autonomous indigenous movements in the periphery and anarchist worker movements in the core and semi-periphery—it relegates them to secondary importance to statist “political” movements. In this paper, we provide an intervention in the world-systems anti-systemic movements literature by centering anti-state movements in our analysis. In order to investigate the mechanisms essential for anti-state, anti-systemic movements over the longue durée of the world-system, we operationalize a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) using nine cases of non-state spaces from different geographies and historical time periods throughout the world-system. We use a Boolean crisp set, or binary approach, denoting the presence, or absence of factors to determine the pathways that lead to the variation between explicitly anarchist and implicitly anarchistic movements as well as short-term or long-term non-state spaces established by anti-state movements. We find that the core and semi-periphery classification of anarchist movements is false. We also find that non-state spaces succeed when they are not repressed by statist anti-systemic movements or core imperial nation-states. In effect, the anti-systemic political actor replicates the logic of the core nation-state it claims to be opposed to when it comes to its repression of non-state spaces and movements. Prior to the “liberal geoculture” (1848–1968), even core states had difficulty repressing non-state spaces, and after the liberal geoculture semi-periphery and periphery states have had difficulty repressing non-state spaces.
Theories of Antifascism in the Interwar Mediterranean Part I
Authors: Plys Kristin
Published: August 2022

The current proliferation of authoritarianism across both core and periphery is one political articulation of the current crisis of the capitalist world-system. Authoritarianism similarly proliferated in previous periods of crisis, in the 1970s and 80s in the peripheries, and in the 1930s and 40s in the core. In Part I of this essay, I detail how world-systems analysts have long been attuned to describing and analyzing chaotic moments in between systemic cycles of hegemony, but less attention has been given to the rise of authoritarianism in these chaotic phases. The multiple crises of hegemonic transition engenders an ideological contestation between Fascism and Communism revealing the limitations of Liberalism, the foundational ideology of the world-system. In such periods of hegemonic breakdown, anarchists developed autonomous strategies of resisting authoritarian rule at both the point of production (the worker-occupied and self-managed workplace) and at the point of leisure (the autonomous zone of the infoshop or café as resources and interventions in the joint struggle against capitalism and authoritarianism. These theories are important to recover for the contemporary fight against a resurgent authoritarianism across the world-system in the current conjuncture.

The rapid increase of population has got an adverse effect on the national economy. More over increasing number of births has got a deleterious effect on the mother and the child and hinders social and economic upliftment of the family. The present study assessed the effect of structured teaching programme on child birth spacing among post caesarean primiparous mothers. The objectives were to assess the knowledge and attitude of post-caesarean primiparous mothers regarding child birth spacing, to determine the effect of structured teaching programme on child birth spacing and to find the association of knowledge and attitude with selected demographic variables. The conceptual frame work was based on Nola J Pender’s Health Promotion Model. The study was conducted using pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design. By using convenient sampling technique, the investigator selected 40 Post- Caesarean Primiparous Mothers. The mean pre-test and post-test knowledge scores were 15.25 and 24.6 respectively. The mean pre-test and post-test attitude scores were 35 and 41.7 respectively. The paired t test value for knowledge and attitude were 21.87 and 17.82 respectively. The table value is 1.684, which is less than the calculated value revealed the statistical significance. The calculated chi square value is less than the table value suggests that there is no association with pre test knowledge and attitude with selected demographic variables. The study concluded that the structured teaching programme was effective.

Obesity and Growing Health Risks - A Review
Authors: D. M. Manjunatha
Published: August 2022

Obesity is a multifaceted disease that is frequently linked to a number of other serious illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, and other cardiovascular disorders, osteoarthritis, and some malignancies. Obesity management will thus necessitate a wide range of strategies aimed at both people who already have weight problems and those who are at high risk of becoming obese. As a result, childhood obesity prevention should be prioritised, as there is a danger of obesity persisting into adulthood. This article discusses numerous obesity prevention and treatment options, with a focus on the most recent study findings. Since 1975, the worldwide obesity rate has nearly tripled. In 2016, approximately 1.9 billion adults and children aged 18 and up were overweight. Obesity affected around 650 million people. In 2016, 39% of adults aged 18 and above were overweight or obese, with 13% being obese. In the majority of the world's population, obesity and overweight kill more people than underweight. In the year 2019, there were 38 million overweight or obese children under the age of five. Over 340 million children and adolescents between the ages of 5 and 19 were overweight or obese in 2016. Obesity is preventable. India currently has more than 135 million obese people. Obesity was previously measured using the body mass index (BMI). Obese children will number 158 million worldwide by 2020, rising to 206 million by 2025 and 254 million by 2030. In actuality, India will have the second-highest number of obese children after China, with 27, 481, 141 or 27 million, much above the 17 million in the United States.

In a study conducted for referees, it was concluded that existing training programs need to be complemented with content in the field of pedagogy and developmental psychology (Ploszaj et al., 2021). The aim of this study is to examine the zest for work levels of trained referees actively working for the Turkish Hockey Federation and the mobbing behaviors they are exposed to. A total of 99 hockey referees, 42 women and 57 men, participated in the study. The sample comprises of 5 International, 7 National, 45 Provincial and 42 Candidate referees. In the study, the “Mobbing Scale for Referees of Indoor Sports” developed by Hacıcaferoğlu (2014) was used to measure the mobbing behaviors that referees are exposed to and the “The Zest for Work Scale for Referees” developed by Erdoğan (2013) and adapted for referees by Karaçam and Pulur (2018) was used to measure the zest for work levels of referees. Shapiro-Wilk normality test was performed and it was seen that the data showed normal distribution. Frequency Analysis, Descriptive Statistics, Independent T-Test, One Way ANOVA and Correlation Analysis were used in SPSS 22.0 program to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it was determined that the referees’ zest for work scores and mobbing behavior scores were high. A statistically significant difference was found for female referees in the analysis of mobbing behavior scores according to gender variable (t = -2.294; p < .05). According to the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) results, the difference between the arithmetic means of the Mobbing Scale scores in terms of the referee classification variable was statistically significant (F = 4.876; p < .05). No significant difference was found as a result of the Pearson Correlation analysis performed to determine the direction of the relationship between the scales (r = .061; p > 0.05). As a result, it was seen that the zest for work scores of the referees were high, and female and candidate referees were more exposed to mobbing in terms of the exposure to the mobbing behaviors.

The research aimed at studying and comparing the futuristic thinking of Grade 9 students studying in schools of different sizes. The samples of the research were Grade 9 students of semester 2 in academic year 2020 in Sisaket Province, Thailand. The multi-stage random sampling technique was employed for the selection of 860 students from 12 schools: 216 students were from extra-large-sized, 160 from large-sized, 302 from medium-sized, and 182 from small-sized schools. The instrument used in the research was a 15 item-5-point Likert scale futuristic test. The validity (IOC) ranged from 0.32 to 0.75, Item Total Correlation from 0.57 to 0.75, and reliability value was 0.94. The data was analyzed using Mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.), One way ANOVA, and Scheffe’ method. The results showed that 1) Grade 9 students’ futuristic thinking was at high level in both overall and individual aspect; 2) Grade 9 students studying in schools of different sizes had different levels of futuristic thinking at the .05 level of statistical significance. Students from extra-large-sized schools had higher level of futuristic thinking than those from medium-sized ones. For those students who were in large schools had higher futuristic thinking levels than the ones in medium and small-sized schools, with a statistical significance of .05 level. The other pairs were not different.

Minimally invasive hip arthroplasty becomes increasingly popular. It is technically challenging and the approaches used are associated with a considerable learning curve. This nurtures concerns regarding patient safety, surgical training, and cost effectiveness. Consequently, we initiated a study comparing the learning curves of a supervised trainee surgeon utilizing both the anterolateral and direct anterior approach (DAA) when introduced to minimally invasive hip replacement surgery. Outcome measurements included the Harris hip score (HHS), cup inclination and anteversion, offset and leg length, stem placement, surgical time and complications. Time from incision to suture decreased significantly over time but did not differ between both groups. The functional outcomes (HHS) after six weeks and three months were comparable (p=0.069 and 0.557) and within the expected range equalling 90.3 (anterior) and 89.2 (anterolateral) points. With both approaches safe component placement was readily achieved. Both offset and leg length, however, were reconstructed more reliably with the DAA (p=0.02 and 0.001). A higher rate of dislocations was seen with the anterior, more perioperative infections with the anterolateral approach. We suggest that supervision by an experienced surgeon favourably influences the learning curves for both the minimally invasive DAA and anterolateral approach and conclude that the greatest improvement is seen within the first 60 cases.
Introduction: The Cultures Of Global Post/Socialisms
Authors: Sadowski-Smith Claudia , Luca Ioana
Published: August 2022

The introduction to this special issue outlines comparative approaches to cultural representations of post/socialism in order to move beyond the term’s association with the Soviet Union, the unevenly aligned or nonaligned nations in Central/Eastern Europe (CEE), and the period between 1917 and 1990. The histories and afterlives of state socialisms, and socialist globalization in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, are at the center of ongoing geopolitical realignments toward a multipolar world. The introduction explores the framing of these shifts as a “new Cold War” between the West and the nations of China and Russia, whose autocratic regimes are associated with remnants of totalitarian state socialism. Like the official rhetoric of many postsocialist nations, these discourses dismiss the far more diverse and progressive legacies of socialism. The introduction inserts cultural representations of Left Internationalism, the Non-Aligned Movement, socialist reformism, and committed art into the fields of comparative literature and media studies to contribute to theories of ongoing transformations and to provide alternative imaginaries for more equitable futures.
The Return of Marxist Discourse to Russian-American Fiction: Keith Gessen’s Novel A Terrible Country
Authors: Wanner Adrian
Published: August 2022

While most of the immigrants who came to the United States from the former Soviet Union have become conservative Republicans, the generation of so-called Russian-American writers has rejected the right-wing politics of their parents in favor of a more liberal position. However, few of these authors go as far as embracing “communism” or Soviet-style state socialism. An interesting exception to this rule is the writer and journalist Keith Gessen. Unlike the Russian liberals, who criticize the Putin regime as a relapse into Soviet-style totalitarianism, Gessen interprets Putinism as a symptomatic manifestation of global neoliberalism. Gessen’s 2018 novel A Terrible Country traces the protagonist’s (and Gessen’s own) political evolution from liberalism to neo-Marxism. The book also contains a fictional portrait of the prominent Russian poet and Marxist activist Kirill Medvedev. This article discusses Gessen’s portrayal of contemporary Russian society in the context of neo-Marxist theory. As it argues, even though the plot of the novel is situated in 2008, Gessen presents an indictment of the regimes of Putin and Trump by using his own bicultural Russian-American identity as a springboard for politically engaged fiction.

Dian-Tara: A Final Project of Gothic and Tragedy Novelette
Authors: Anindya Grace , Mau Emanuella C. Natalia
Published: August 2022

This paper explains the process of creating a novelette entitled Dian-Tara. The novelette was written in one linear plot with external narration using narrative theory or narratology. Tragedy and gothic fiction were chosen as the genres since they could create a sense of eeriness in the audience. The issues and phenomena raised in the novelette were the impact of a broken family on children and also what society can do to help the victims. This undergraduate final work adapted Aristotle’s Poetics by having the three-act structure and catharsis for the resolution. The theory of narrative by Tzvetan Todorov was applied for the plot development. Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory was also used for the characters’ design in terms of creating their past and how it influenced their decision-making in the story. For the character types, this novelette used a protagonist and an antagonist. The characters’ design was separated into three aspects of life (professional, personal, and private). The result of the final work showed that the past life of each protagonist and antagonist character contributed to their decision-making and helped to drive the plot forward as a tragedy was chosen to end the story. Their bad childhood memories and the tragic ending were meant to raise the awareness of the readers, as the impact of this phenomenon cannot be denied.
