Authors: Roy Kallol Kumar , Gajapathy Sheela Rangamani , Rai Rakhi , Zangmo Rinchen , Das Anamika , Singhal Seema
Published: August 2021

Objectives:

Tubal factor is the leading cause of female infertility. Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy with chromopertubation plays a pivotal role in its evaluation. Office hysteroscopy (OH) has gained popularity as the outpatient procedure for diagnostic purposes. OH being a less invasive approach, the current study was undertaken to compare the accuracy of assessment of tubal patency with chromopertubation at OH with modified minilaparoscopy in infertile patients.

Materials and Methods:

The present study was a pilot study conducted from March 2017 to August 2018. Eighty patients were recruited. OH was done without anesthesia. Diluted methylene blue dye was injected. The eddy current of blue dye, “Visualizable flow” at ostium, and disappearance of blue dye from the uterine cavity through ostium was documented as evidence of patent tubal ostium. In case of tubal occlusion, uterine cavity became blue due to backflow of dye. After OH, minilaparoscopy with chromopertubation was performed under general anesthesia. Both tubes were assessed separately for tubal patency.

Results:

All patients underwent OH followed by minilaparoscopy in the same sitting. OH was 87.5% sensitive with positive predictive value of 95.2%. Compared to minilaparoscopy, OH is 85.6% accurate in predicting tubal patency. The area under receiver operating curve was 0.96 (SE is 0.15 with 95% confidence interval of 0.93–0.99, P < 0.001). It implies that, OH should correctly identify all laparoscopic cases with probability of 0.96.

Conclusion:

OH chromopertubation can be used as an alternative to laparoscopy for assessing tubal patency with added advantages of lack of requirement of anesthesia, minimal cost, and better patient acceptance. Moreover, the procedure is less time-consuming and less invasive with high sensitivity and moderate specificity.
Camptothecin enhances 131I-rituximab-induced G1-arrest and apoptosis in Burkitt lymphoma cells
Authors: Kumar Chandan , Sharma Rohit , Repaka Krishna Mohan , Pareri Aanchal Udaynath , Dash Ashutosh
Published: August 2021

Background:

Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against CD20. It is an established immunotherapeutic agent for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Even though rituximab has been used in clinics for decades, only 50% of the patients respond to rituximab therapy. To enhance the in vitro effect of rituximab, it was labeled with Iodine-131 (131I) and combined effect of 131I-rituximab and camptothecin (CPT) was studied on a tumor cell line expressing CD20.

Objective:

The aim is to study the magnitude of cell killing and the underlying mechanism responsible for enhancing in vitro therapeutic efficacy.

Materials and Methods:

Rituximab was labeled with 131I by the iodogen method. Raji cells were pretreated with CPT (250 nM) for an hour followed by 131I-rituximab (0.37 and 3.7 MBq) and incubated for 24 h in a humidified atmosphere of CO2 incubator at 37°C. Subsequently, Raji cells were harvested and thoroughly washed to carry out studies of cellular toxicity, apoptosis, cell cycle, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways.

Results:

Maximal inhibition of cell proliferation and enhancement of apoptotic cell death was observed in the cells treated with the combination of CPT and 131I-rituximab, compared to controls of CPT-treated and 131I-rituximab-treated cells. Raji cells undergo G1 arrest after 131I-rituximab treatment, which leads to apoptosis and was confirmed by the downregulation of bclxl protein. Expression of p38 was decreased while an increase in phosphorylation of p38 was observed in the combination treatment of CPT and 131I-rituximab.

Conclusions:

It was concluded from the findings that CPT enhanced 131I-rituximab-induced apoptosis, G1 cell cycle arrest and p38 MAPK phosphorylation in Raji cells.

Authors: Agarwal Anushree , Handa Uma , Kundu Reetu , Sachdev Atul , Kochhar Suman
Published: August 2021

Background:

Cytomorphological distinction between hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic tumors to the liver may be difficult, especially when these have poor differentiation. The present study was done to assess the diagnostic utility of hepatocyte paraffin-1 (HepPar-1), CD10, and CD34 in differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic carcinoma.

Materials and Methods:

Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration was performed on 50 patients with space-occupying lesions of liver suspicious for malignancy on clinical/radiologic findings. The cytological assessment was done on smears stained with May–Grünwald–Giemsa and hematoxylin and eosin. Cell blocks were prepared, and immunostaining for HepPar-1, CD10, and CD34 was done.

Results:

In these 50 patients, hepatocellular carcinoma was diagnosed in 7 and metastatic tumors in 43 cases. The sensitivity of smears in diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma was 100% and the specificity was 95.3%, while the sensitivity and specificity of cell block were 100%. A canalicular pattern of CD10 immunoreactivity had a 100% positive predictive value for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma. CD10 had a sensitivity of 57.1% and 41.9% in identification of HCC and metastatic tumors, respectively. For the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, the sensitivity of CD34 was 85.7% and the specificity of sinusoidal pattern of immunoreactivity was 100%. The sensitivity and specificity of granular cytoplasmic staining pattern of HepPar-1 were 100% in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Conclusions:

The staining patterns of HepPar-1, CD10, and CD34 are highly specific in distinguishing hepatocellular carcinoma from metastasis. These three immunomarkers should be included in the immunocytochemical panel for differentiating hepatocellular carcinoma from metastatic carcinoma to the liver.

Authors: Qasim Aisha Akram , Alani Baraa W. , Al Qassar Sarmad S. Salih
Published: August 2021

AIMS:

This study searched the effects of fluoridated toothpaste on the enamel surface of deciduous molars eroded by different pediatric liquid medicaments which were encircled by orthodontic bands by gravimetric analysis method.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A suitable orthodontic band was used to band each of the 110 non-carious exfoliated deciduous molars, and stored in artificial saliva. These teeth were divided randomly into fluoridated and non-fluoridated groups (50 teeth each), and 10 teeth were used as negative controls. The enamel surface of the fluoridated group was swabbed with fluoridated toothpaste for 5 minutes twice daily. Each group was subdivided into five clusters of 10 teeth each according to the type of medication used which included paracetamol, Adol, amoxicillin, Medazole (ME), and Viton (VI) according to a specific immersion cycle. The erosion induced in the enamel for all the teeth was evaluated by gravimetric analysis for different intervals.

RESULTS:

The results showed that the weight loss increased with increasing exposure to liquid medication for all groups, but this increase was smaller in the fluoridated group. The highest mean weight loss after 28 days was in VI, and the lowest was in ME (0.145 [0.005] mg; 0.08 [0.008] mg), respectively.

CONCLUSION:

The fluoridated toothpaste significantly reduced medically eroded enamel by oral medical syrups. The gravimetric method is valid for the detection of erosion on banded deciduous molars.
Therapeutic use of alpha lipoic acid in burning mouth syndrome
Authors: Roy Shubhabrata , Raj Deepa , Bhattacharyya Jayanta , Das Samiran , Goel Preeti
Published: August 2021

Introduction:

Primary burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain disorder of the oral cavity without any apparent local or systemic etiologic factor. There is no specific therapy for primary BMS and treatment is basically supportive or symptomatic. There are many pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches reported by different studies to alleviate pain in primary BMS. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) has also been used as a therapeutic agent in BMS by many clinicians and researchers.

Aims:

The aim of this review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the double-blinded placebo controlled randomized clinical trials of ALA to determine its efficacy and potential as therapeutic agent in primary BMS. Six studies were selected for the systematic review after a thorough manual and electronic searching of the databases.

Methods:

Five out of the 6 selected studies were used for quantitative data synthesis.

Results and discussion:

The ALA therapy for 2 months provided symptomatic relief to more people in the study groups than in the placebo groups (risk ratio 2.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.71–3.19). The mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the test groups improved (decreased) after 2 months of ALA therapy (standardised mean difference [SMD] 0.72, 95% CI 0.20–1.24). When compared with placebo therapy, mean VAS scores improved (decreased) more with placebo than with ALA after 2 months of treatment (SMD −0.23, 95% CI: −0.70–0.24). The positive responders in the ALA groups presented less incidence of deterioration than the positive responders in placebo groups during the follow-up period.

Conclusion:

It was concluded from this meta-analysis that ALA could be used as a potential therapeutic agent in primary BMS. It should be administered in proper therapeutic doses and for sufficient time to elicit positive outcome. ALA can be used for a long time without any severe side effect and very few recipients complained about worsening of the situation. It certainly improves pain symptoms in a considerable number of patients when compared with placebo therapy.

Authors: Romero Alonso Rosa Eliana , Tejada Navarro Carlos Alberto , Núñez Barrera Olga
Published: August 2021

La situación de pandemia COVID-19 obligó a las instituciones de educación superior a implementar enseñanza remota de emergencia, poniendo a prueba su preparación para impartir educación basada en tecnologías virtuales. Previo a la crisis, se hacía uso limitado y marginal de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicaciones (TIC) para el aprendizaje en estas instituciones, situación que contrastaba fuertemente con la penetración de estas tecnologías en los alumnos. Los jóvenes han mostrado una actitud favorable al uso de tecnologías en el ámbito educativo, aunque su adopción y usos parece estar marcado por diversos factores. Este estudio aplicado a una muestra de 323 alumnos de primer año de una universidad chilena explora las relaciones entre actitudes hacia las TIC y la adaptación a clases remotas de emergencia en formato virtual. Los resultados indican que el género, condiciones de acceso y actitudes ante las TIC influyen en esta adaptación.
Maximal subgroups and von Neumann subalgebras with the Haagerup property
Authors: Jiang Yongle , Skalski Adam
Published: August 2021

We initiate a study of maximal subgroups and maximal von Neumann subalgebras which have the Haagerup property. We determine maximal Haagerup subgroups inside

\mathbb{Z}^2 \rtimes \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})

and obtain several explicit instances where maximal Haagerup subgroups yield maximal Haagerup subalgebras. Our techniques are on one hand based on group-theoretic considerations, and on the other on certain results on intermediate von Neumann algebras, in particular these allowing us to deduce that all the intermediate algebras for certain inclusions arise from groups or from group actions. Some remarks and examples concerning maximal non-(T) subgroups and subalgebras are also presented, and we answer two questions of Ge regarding maximal von Neumann subalgebras.
A complex Euclidean reflection group with a non-positively curved complement complex
Authors: Coté Ben , McCammond Jon
Published: August 2021

The complement of a hyperplane arrangement in

\mathbb{C}^n

deformation retracts onto an

n

-dimensional cell complex, but the known procedures only apply to complexifications of real arrangements (Salvetti) or the cell complex produced depends on an initial choice of coordinates (Björner–Ziegler). In this article we consider the unique complex Euclidean reflection group acting cocompactly by isometries on

\mathbb{C}^2

whose linear part is the finite complex reflection group known as

G_4

in the Shephard-Todd classification and we construct a choice-free deformation retraction from its hyperplane complement onto a

2

-dimensional complex

K

where every

2

-cell is a Euclidean equilateral triangle and every vertex link is a Möbius–Kantor graph. The hyperplane complement contains non-regular points, the action of the reflection group on

K

is not free, and the braid group is not torsion-free. Despite all of this, since

K

is non-positively curved, the corresponding braid group is a

\operatorname{CAT}(0)

group.
A Wiener Model Based Closed Loop FES for Positional Control During Wrist Flexion
Authors: Mahendra S. J., , Talasila Vishwanath , Dutt Abhilash G.
Published: August 2021

Functional electrical stimulation is an assistive technique used to produce functional movements in patients suffering from neurological impairments. However, existing open-loop clinical FES systems are not adequately equipped to compensate for the nonlinear, time-varying behaviour of the muscles. On the other hand, closed-loop FES systems can compensate for the aforementioned effects by regulating the stimulation to induce desired contractions. Therefore, this work aims to present an approach to implement a closed-loop FES system to enable angular positional control during wrist flexion. First, a Wiener model describing the response of the wrist flexor to pulse width modulated stimulation was identified for two healthy volunteers. Second, a nonlinear PID controller (subject-specific) was designed based on the identified models to enable angular positional control during wrist flexion. Subsequently, the controller was implemented in real-time and was tested against two reference angles on healthy volunteers. This study shows promise that the presented closed-loop FES approach can be implemented to control the angular position during wrist flexion or a novelty of the work when compared with the existing work.

Çağın insanı Covid-19 salgını sebebiyle ilk kez izole olma deneyimine maruz kalmıştır. Bu durum, modern bireyin bilincinde aşamalarla gerçekleştiği görülen yabancılaşma süreci için farklı bir eşik olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Yabancılaşma; modern yaşam getirilerinin geleneksel değerleri işlevsiz kılmasıyla, bireyin içine çekildiği yeni olasılıkları tanımlamaktadır. Bu yönde öncü sanatçıların, modern dönemler itibariyle yabancılaşma etkisi altına girdikleri ve toplum bilincinin yansıması olarak tanımlanabilecek üretimlerde bulundukları görülmüştür. Gerçekte görülen ve sanat yapıtından yansıyan dünya görüntüsünün ayrımı, sanatçının dolayısıyla toplumun bilinç ötesinden haber vermektedir. Dönüşen dünya içinde ve toplumun bir parçası olarak sanatçı birey, bu yönde duyarlılık geliştirmiş, sanat yapıtlarını psikolojik olduğu kadar sosyolojik eksen üzerinden tanımlamıştır. Araştırma temel problem olarak; yabancılaşma kavramının Covid-19 salgın süreci dönüşümü ve zorunlu olarak yabancılaşan bireyin sanat üretimlerine yansımalarını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, tarihsel çizgide düşünürlerin yabancılaşma kavramına yönelik yaklaşımları ve Covid-19 salgını süresince izolasyona maruz kalan çağdaş sanatçıların üretimlerinden örnekleri incelemektedir.

Orientaciones filosóficas en la intervención fonoaudiológica de voz. El desafío actual de dar el alta
Authors: Inostroza-Moreno Gonzalo
Published: August 2021

El presente artículo corresponde a una reflexión sobre las orientaciones filosóficas en la terapia vocal actual. Cuando existe alguna alteración o trastorno vocal, se habla comunmente de un desequilibrio entre los subsistemas involucrados en el proceso fonatorio, es decir, fuelle (sistema respiratorio), fuente (pliegues vocales) y filtro (tracto vocal). Si no hay un correcto balance, entonces el sistema no tiene un correcto funcionamiento y pueden aparecer síntomas como ronquera, sensación de cuerpo extraño, prurito, fatiga vocal o bien disfonía o incluso afonía. Como consecuencia de estas dificultades, se generan compensaciones que durante el proceso de la intervención fonoaudiológica el profesional debe volver a “equilibrar”. Para lograr este objetivo, se desarrollan y analizan las diversas herramientas que entregan las filosofías de pensamiento a lo largo de la historia de la rehabilitación vocal, donde se encuentran la orientación higiénica, psicológica, sintomatológica, fisiológica y ecléctica. En este mismo sentido, el profesional debe buscar lo que percibe como más idóneo para cada paciente o grupo a intervenir, centrado en mejorar la calidad vocal y las necesidades actuales de estos, basándose en el contexto mundial actual, con el objetivo de lograr un buen proceso de entrenamiento o rehabilitación y finalmente lograr el alta.

Abstract One theory of the arrival of Islam to the archipelago states that the arrival of Islam was brought by merchants. There are those who say that the merchants came from Gujarat and some who got direct opinions from Arabia. Not a few also disagree that Islam was brought to the archipelago by traders, but rather by religious scholars from Arabia. This paper is not to discuss the pros and cons of this theory, but focuses on the relationship between trade activities and Islamization in the Jambi remoted area. By using historical research methods covering heuristics, internal and external criticism, interpretation and historiography, this article argues that the process of Islamization in Jambi is similar to the processes and flows of Islamization that occurred in other regions in Sumatra.

Published: August 2021

El liderazgo es un concepto difícil de definir, pero en tiempos de crisis es fácil de identificar. Para ello, la imagen y la confianza son dos características importantes que sirven para distinguir a un líder. La diversidad de contenido mediático que se puede apreciar en la actualidad y sobre todo respecto a la pandemia, genera la oportunidad de escuchar más voces e identificar a los líderes que son referencia para los ciudadanos. El objetivo principal de esta investigación cualitativa es identificar la manera en que los ciudadanos perciben la imagen, confianza y liderazgo de los voceros públicos de la pandemia Covid-19. Debido al corte cualitativo del estudio se realizaron cuatro grupos focales divididos por sexo y edad. Entre los hallazgos más importantes se encuentra que existe una mayor confianza y aceptación hacia la imagen de los portavoces del área de la salud por encima de la de los líderes políticos, quienes presentan poca confianza y una imagen controvertida.

Published: August 2021

Melanomacrophage centers are aggregates of pigment-containing cells found in the animal’s hematopoietic tissues. Changes in its characteristics have been used to assess the influence of pesticide exposure, and as tools for potential monitoring for fish and environmental health. This study aimed to evaluate the pesticide-induced hepatic and splenic melanomacrophage center responses in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) following exposure to fenobucarb in varying lengths of exposure. Five test groups were exposed to constant dose of fenobucarb at 0.08 mg L-1at different periods (0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days). Fenobucarb only induced significant changes in the splenic melanomacrophage centers. Splenic melanomacrophage centers significantly increased in number in response to the increasing lengths of exposure. Increasing trend of size and cover was also observed, however, significant difference was only detected at 28 days exposure period. Significant difference in hemosiderin and lipofuscin pigments was also detected at 28 days exposure which suggests tissue destruction after prolonged exposure. This study confirms the potential of melanomacrophage centers as a sensitive biomarker for fenobucarb exposure indicated by the changes in its characteristics, particularly in the spleen.

This study was a quantitative study with a Cross Sectional Study design. Data analysis using chi-square test with a sample of 100 mothers who have toddlers aged 6-24 months. The results showed that the related variables were basic sanitation facilities (p=0.014) and hand hygiene (p=0.020) with the incidence of diarrhea in breastfeeding infants. Suggestions for this study to health workers are expected to carry out health promotion and education about basic sanitation and personal hygiene to mothers whose toddlers do not experience diarrhea to prevent an increase in cases of diarrhea and to provide treatment and education to mothers whose toddlers experience diarrhea so as not to occurrence of complications or severity of diarrhea to prevent death.
Sostenibilidad energética
Authors: Becker Pinto Gabriela , Cruz da Silva Jéssica
Published: August 2021

La presente investigación estuvo motivada por el propósito – como objetivo general del trabajo de investigación – de examinar el escenario jurídico de la Energía Nuclear entre Brasil y Uruguay bajo el sesgo del Transconstitucionalismo y Transición Energética, a partir de la convivencia analítica entre fiscalización y emprendimiento estatal- empresas propias ante el Paradigma de Sostenibilidad e Integración Regional. En el período académico, temas complementarios como la transición energética y la seguridad pública se desarrollaron de manera antagónica, denotando la necesidad de una triple hélice de acción entre tres actores principales del desarrollo: el Estado, la Academia y la Producción de Servicios a través de políticas públicas. Se concluye que el plan uruguayo buscaba ante todo impulsar la innovación conducente al desarrollo e independencia energética interna del país, logrando estratégicamente su seguridad energética con base en el atractivo político, y que el potencial exploratorio brasileño se concentra desde el momento en que se puede mitigar estigmas y pensar en el recurso nuclear como una fuente complementaria que permite satisfacer la demanda interna y una menor dependencia de las fuentes de agua.
La importancia de una buena gestión humana empresarial en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Dell'Acqua Georgina , Spagnolo Florencia
Published: August 2021

La pandemia ocasionada por el COVID-19, ha impactado en las sociedades, generando importantes e impensables modificaciones en todos los ámbitos de nuestras vidas.
La situación que se nos ha presentado de forma ineludible ha llevado a que paulatinamente -y en algunos casos de forma abrupta- debamos enfrentarnos y adaptarnos a esta “nueva realidad”. En medio de un período de grandes desafíos, el ámbito laboral y el mundo empresarial han sido, particularmente, escenario de grandes transformaciones.
En este contexto, las empresas, necesitadas de nuevas formas de organización y funcionamiento, han debido readaptarse estructuralmente de manera constante, siendo la buena gestión humana empresarial la clave para sobrellevar la situación de crisis y mitigar sus impactos negativos.
Comentario a sentencia sobre eutanasia. Acción de amparo de Ana Estrada Ugarte, contra Ministerio de Salud, Ministerio de Justicia, y Seguro Social de Salud del Perú. Corte Superior de Justicia de Lima, 11er. Juzgado Constitucional. Sentencia del 22-2-202
Authors: Velasco Suárez Diego
Published: August 2021

Se realiza un análisis crítico de la sentencia que acoge la acción de amparo de Ana Estrada declarando inaplicable, por inconstitucional, el artículo del Código Penal que tipifica el homicidio piadoso (que prohíbe la eutanasia).
El supuesto “derecho a la eutanasia” se lo considera implícito en el “respeto a la dignidad” de la “persona humana”, que es considerada por la Constitución como “fin supremo de la sociedad y del Estado” (Perú, 1993). Pero se termina reduciendo dignidad a libertad fáctica, negando la igual dignidad de toda persona humana, fundando la eutanasia en la percepción de indignidad.
En el análisis crítico se distingue dignidad inherente, igual para todo ser humano, y actos libres dignos (los que respetan esa dignidad), señalando que sólo estos son ejercicio de un derecho a la libertad. Se identifica ser o existencia personal y vida de un ser humano. A partir de ello, se consideran intercambiables el deber mínimo de respeto a la dignidad, el deber mínimo de respeto a la vida o prohibición de matar, y el contenido mínimo esencial del derecho a la vida. De allí deduce la primacía del derecho a la vida sobre el derecho a la libertad.
Is there a Correlation between a Corona Resident’s Big Three Zodiac Signs and their Experiences of Bodily Pain and/or Medical Complications?
Authors: Pintea Sebastian , Niles Rachel
Published: August 2021

The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between astrology and fields of medicine to predict medical complications and regions of severe pain for future patients based on their big three zodiac signs. Past research has indicated that astrology has played a minor role in psychological analysis, however, this study aims to test that correlation by taking into consideration one’s sun, moon, and rising sign (big three). Based on the review of the literature comparing astrological studies in topics of education, psychology, economics, and medicine, an online google form survey was distributed to residents of Corona, California from all age groups. Respondents were required to fill out Informed Consent documents, report their big three zodiac signs based on the website provided (typing in their birthdate, birth time, and birth location), and include any history of medical complications and/or pain. After analyzing the 116 respondents that took my survey, it was clear that a correlation did exist with the following zodiac signs when holistically looking at all the medical complications and big three zodiac placements: Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Leo, Cancer, and Saggitarius. The results concluded that there is a correlation between one’s big three zodiac signs and their history of medical complications and/or pain. On this basis, it is recommended to also take into consideration limiting factors like sample size, confirmation bias, nonresponse bias, and lack of age group variability. Further research and practical implications of astrology, such as experimental designs, are necessary to challenge its label as pseudoscience.
Revolutionizing Spaceflight: A Study on Electric Propulsion and Air-Breathing MPDs
Authors: McKinney Ian , Murnan John
Published: August 2021

Modern liquid-fuel rocket propulsion harbors a number of great limitations. Among those is the weight of fuel, which makes up more than 90% of the mass of the SpaceX Falcon 9 (NASA, 2018). Electric propulsion has been used for decades as an alternative to liquid-fuel rockets due to low propellant requirements and high specific impulse. Although electric thrusters have strictly been used in non-atmospheric conditions, recent innovations attempt to expand its use to airspace. This quasi-experimental study focuses on the creation of an air-breathing magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster, with attempts being made to maximize the efficiency of the engine. Immense safety concerns prevented testing from occurring after the engine was built. However, the estimated performance of the built MPD is compared to a multitude of existing forms of electric propulsion, from Hall-effect thrusters to electrodynamic tethers. The concluding evidence suggests that air-breathing MPDs are not currently viable, high-power photon thrusters being of greater use in atmospheric conditions. Further research focusing on decreasing atmospheric breakdown voltage and increasing mirror reflectance of photon thrusters is suggested.
Connecting Stereotypes of South Asians in the American Media to South Asian Teenagers’ Internalized Racism
Authors: Viswanathan Lalitha , Vernachio Brian
Published: August 2021

2020 put the entire world upside down in its call for racial equity and justice. During these unveiling times, minorities in America have come forward in protest of racial and ethnic stereotypes which Hollywood still plays into. This research paper capitalized on the removal and protest of these characters and dove more specifically into South Asian stereotypes which have been reinforced by television show and movie characters. The claim in these cries of disapproval for these stereotypes was that it caused internalized racism in people who were brought up watching these stereotypes forced upon them. As building a body of knowledge progressed, the unmade connection of stereotypes to internalized racism in formal research became apparent, and therefore the research paper intended to see if there was a correlation between South Asian stereotypes and internalized racism. In order to identify internalized racism among South Asian teenagers, an open-ended survey was used as a method, followed by a mixed analysis to identify self-stereotyping indicators which would denote internalized racism. The research in the end did find a staunch correlation between the South Asian stereotypes and internalized racism in today’s South Asian teenagers. While today’s teenagers cannot rid themselves of the stereotypes already imposed on them, future South Asian children might possibly have accurate and fair representation in subsequent years.
A Selective Bilingual Advantage in High School Students
Authors: Khotemlyansky Laura , Berge Jill
Published: August 2021

The present study investigates the impacts of bilingualism on academic performance among high school students by using cognitive assessment scores as proxies for GPAs. As seminal works, finding a constant bilingual advantage (BA), are being increasingly disproved in favor a selective BA, task demand in working memory (WM) was introduced to examine this. A mixed method was used. Participants completed a self-assessment survey, rating their academic performance and beliefs regarding the bilingual advantage hypothesis. Then, the flanker and modified flanker tasks tested participants’ WM. Using measurements of  the means, medians and p-test, it was discovered that bilingual students only outperformed monolinguals on the low demand regular flanker task while equally on all other tasks, not in accordance with the Executive Control Theory (ECT) commonly supported in recent works. Additionally, the survey revealed that both monolingual and bilingual students recognize the positive impacts of language on cognition, but not the application of cognition to increased school performance. By bringing awareness to this relationship, this could encourage more students to study a foreign language in high school, bridging the cognitive-linguistic gap.
