Authors: Rodriguez Adrian , Moore Alex , Ta Beatrice , Li Kimberley
Published: August 2021

Researchers suggest that engaging in undergraduate level research greatly benefits students in various disciplines and increases their career opportunities. However, there is a severe gap in the literature regarding the needs of students in Human Services undergraduate research (UR) labs at practitioner-focused institutions. This phenomenological study examined the salient experiences of seven former research assistants in such a setting. Four emergent themes were uncovered: need insecurities, positive faculty-student connection, creating opportunity, and productive team environment. Considerations for Human Services educators and students are discussed.

Published: August 2021

Undergraduate human services programs seek ways to support students as they develop their professional identities. Few, if any studies, have considered the benefits of engaging human services students in art directives as a method for them to reflect on their professional identities. The following is a case example on how an art directive was incorporated in an undergraduate fieldwork course at an urban community college.
	A Multi-paradigmatic Interdisciplinary Framework for Human Service Systems
Authors: Coles 	Crystal , Sawyer Jason
Published: August 2021

Increasingly, human service systems are complicated by interprofessional spaces, quickening technological change, and social uncertainty. New guides built on existing research, practice, and interdisciplinary knowledge can lead practitioners through these complexities. Targeted toward an interdisciplinary audience, this article introduces four mechanisms to navigate the practical realities of human services organizations. The first, paradigms of organizational analysis, centers on embedded assumptions within human services organizations and their implications. The second, an organizational health paradigm, focuses on organizational health and functioning. The third, an ethical paradigm, incorporates interdisciplinary ethics across various disciplines. The final integrates these mechanisms along four practical pillars of human services systems: policy, organizations, community, and planning/evaluation that incorporate context, focus, and application of organizational practice activities. This framework aims to reduce analytical complexity, comprehensively guide practitioners in understanding contemporary human services systems, and apply these integrated dimensions across policy, organization, community, and planning/evaluation in human services settings.

In political caricature, high priority is given to the ideological content. This statement has its theoretical background. The illustration of a topic is being created by way of juxtaposing and contraposing of the established symbols and signs, which, like the pieces in a chess game, form ambiguous combinations – quick-witted, fantastic and comical, supported with a sharp word or remark. Irrespective of the variety of ways and means, employed to fulfill the conception, the originator of the subject must be a competent publicist and political observer, in the first place, and a satirist and graphic artist, in the second.

Published: August 2021

Cost-offset community supported agriculture (CO-CSA) appears to be a promising way to increase low-income households’ access and intake of fresh produce, while also helping CSA farms expand their farm business. Yet single farms operating CO-CSAs may struggle to balance the demands of farming with CO-CSA program administration, funding, and recruitment. To address these chal­lenges, CO-CSA programs operated by nonprofits have emerged, equipped with dedicated infrastruc­ture, resources, and staffing. This study aims to describe organizational models and best practices of nonprofit CO-CSA programs, using a qualitative approach. We conducted interviews with five well-established nonprofit CO-CSA programs in the U.S. Administration of these five nonprofit CO-CSAs took several forms: (1) providing direct sub­sidies to individual CO-CSA member farms; (2) functioning themselves as an aggregator, packer, and distributor of regional produce; and (3) sourcing from an in-house farm incubator or food hub, then packing and coordinating delivery to pick-up sites. Nonprofit CO-CSA funding strategies included grants from federal and local government sources, private donations, fundrais­ing, and grants. Marketing efforts occurred via social media, community events, and word of mouth. Both fundraising and recruitment were greatly facilitated by relationships with community partners. Having dedicated staff, as well as a com­munity that values local agriculture and social jus­tice, were identified as success factors. This descriptive, qualitative study systematically com­pares the attributes of five nonprofit CO-CSA programs. Future research should focus on identifying the cost-effectiveness of nonprofit CO-CSAs, compare the relative merits of single-farm and nonprofit CO-CSAs, and quantify the eco­nomic benefit of CO-CSA programs for farmers and local communities.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) impacts the wellness and quality of life of millions of Canadians. An evaluation focused on the identification of reversible and irreversible underlying factors is recommended for patients presenting with ED. Through a shared decision-making model framework, the goal of ED treatment is to improve functional outcomes and enhance sexual satisfaction while minimizing adverse effects associated with treatment. Given that ED is assessed and treated by multiple different types of health practitioners, the purpose of this guideline is to provide the best available evidence to facilitate care delivery through a Canadian lens. After a narrative review of ED assessment and treatment for general readership, five key clinical questions relating to priority areas of ED are assessed using the GRADE and Evidence to Decision making frameworks.
The Impact of Acquisitions on the Financial Performance of Companies in the Gulf States
Authors: Alselem Loloah Mohammad
Published: August 2021

The acquisition of economic institutions has become a global trend in recent periods, either through the transfer of all or part of the properties or shares. Such operations contribute to enhanced opportunities for economic expansion and growth. The Gulf States have not been away from these rising trends, with acquisitions taking a noticeable rise. This study analyses the impact of acquisitions on the financial performance of companies in the Gulf States based on the time sequence of data analysis for the duration between 2005-2018. The Empirical Bayesian and Ordinary Least Squares regression techniques are considered to demonstrate the acquisition impact on acquired non-financial companies in the Gulf States by using these major measures profitability, liquidity, and leverage. First and foremost, the study discovered that acquisition does not affect the profitability of the firm which formed into a new firm. But looking at the impact of the acquisition on leverage, the Interest Coverage ratio (COV) is been positively impacted by acquisition but the Debt to Equity ratio (ED) is not impacted by the acquisition. Additionally, the acquisition has a negative effect on a firm’s leverage. The outcomes of both OLS and the Bayesian have some variances, but the correspondence of the two results exceeds the difference. Thereby, it can be concluded that the Bayesian method is partially steady with the outcomes of OLS. The outcome of the study demonstrates that the financial performance of firms is not significantly affected by the acquisition.

Published: August 2021

The possibility to use a side-timber in glulam beams manufacturing for structural applications. The aim of presented study was to determine the mechanical properties of three-layered glued structural beams manufactured with the use of side-timber pieces as an outer layers and the fragmented main yield as an inner layer. Four types of beams were pressed and tested in terms of four-point bending strength and modulus of elasticity. Variants differed from each other in the direction of the fibers in the inner layer and in the presence of adhesive layer between the fragmented wood. Studies have shown that the bending strength of the beams depended on the calculation method. Moreover, no significant effect of the inner layer arranging method on the bending strength of the beams was found. The values of modulus of elasticity (MOE) were low. The presented study is a starting point for further investigations concerning the possible way of the rational application of fragmented timber pieces and the side-timber for structural applications.

Learning communities can be an effective means of engaging university students across disciplines. Games have always been a source of both enjoyment and interesting mathematics. Based on our own interest in games, and the deep, strategic discussions we found ourselves having with students when we played games with them, we decided to design a learning community around the mathematics of games. We hoped in particular that such a community could be a great pathway to introducing mathematical thinking to students not majoring in mathematics, and that they would gain a greater appreciation for our field. In this paper, we describe our Math Games Seminar learning community, from its origins in 2016, to its organization and to its impact on our students through the years.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Comparative Tax Scholarship
Authors: Brooks Kim
Published: August 2021

Comparative law offers scholars a fascinating lens through which to discover new insights about the world, but only if we take on comparative law projects. Few legal scholars devote a substantial strand of their research to comparative study, and so their work fails to benefit from the active and prolonged debates in comparative law. This Article makes a singular, but hopefully substantial, contribution: it seeks to render more accessible the comparative law scholarship with the aim of facilitating easier access to comparative law insights for tax (and hopefully other) law scholars. Put another way, the Article seeks to engage taxcomparatists (or would-be comparatists) in a “co-operativeenterprise” where we are more likely to engage with each other with the “goal of improving understanding.” In short, it seeks to enhance the discipline of comparative tax law by enabling other tax scholars to write better comparative tax law scholarship.

The Article develops a taxonomy of the purposes of comparative tax scholarship. Understanding comparative tax law scholarship according to its purposes assists scholars in their thinking about how to make and evaluate decisions about their comparative choices. The purpose of a scholarly project dictates some, if not all, of the decisions about what and how things should be compared. Articulating and refining the purpose of a project achieves two goals for authors. First, it provides the scholar with a benchmark against which to make decisions about the scope of the inquiry; which units (countries) should be chosen; how many countries are necessary for comparison to be robust; and how detailed a knowledge of each country’s tax laws, practices, and context is required for an effective study. These are the decisions that generate most of the debate among comparative law scholars. Second, and perhaps most importantly, it provides the scholar (and readers) with the ability to evaluate the quality  of the work.
Collective Democratic Control of the Armed Forces
Authors: Kyaw Ye Phone
Published: August 2021

Under its 2008 Constitution, Myanmar is undergoing a political transition from a military regime to a more liberalized democratic and constitutional government. The current National League for Democracy government’s reforms are in stagnation, while debates on the political role of the Tatmadaw (the Myanmar military) as guaranteed by the 2008 Constitution continue. A widespread perception persists that civil-military relations in Myanmar lack civilian control and are a barrier to the reform processes. Such assumptions, however, are made in the absence of theoretical analysis. This article will argue that Myanmar’s constitutional government has the right to establish “democratic control,” while the Tatmadaw’s national political role remains significant. Democratic control of Myanmar’s civil-military relations is based on a “collective” rather than a “confrontational” approach—one that is called “collective democratic control.” The current stagnation in reform and in the national reconciliation process are the result of a lack of understanding of the existing structure of civil-military relations, rather than a lack of democratic control of the armed forces.
The Production of /p, t, k/ among Heritage Speakers of Spanish in the United States
Authors: Muxika-Loitzate Oihane
Published: August 2021

The present study explores whether heritage speakers of Spanish in the United States pronounce voiceless stops (/p, t, k/) differently in cognate words and non-cognate words in Spanish and in English depending on their degree of dominance in both languages. The acoustic measurement used to determine whether /p, t, k/ are pronounced differently or not is the Voice Onset Time (or VOT), which is longer for word initial /p, t, k/ in English whereas it is shorter in Spanish (Lisker & Abramson, 1964). This study analyzes the production data of 8 heritage speakers who completed the Bilingual Language Profile (or BLP) Questionnaire (Birdsong et al., 2012), a read-aloud task, and a follow-up interview. The results show that informants pronounce /p, t, k/ differently in English and in Spanish. Moreover, informants’ linguistic dominance influences their production of voiceless stops in English, but not as much in Spanish. A closer look at the data shows that informants’ language proficiency could be influencing their pronunciation of /p, t, k/ in Spanish. Furthermore, this study shows that there is an overall effect of cognate words in the production of voiceless stops in Spanish and English. The current study is of interest because it focuses on heritage speakers’ phonemic inventories, an understudied area of linguistics (Rao & Ronquest, 2015; Kim, 2018) and it combines the BLP Questionnaire and the follow-up interview to retrieve information about heritage speakers’ degree of bilingualism and linguistic attitudes. This methodology allows to explore how sociolinguistic attributes influence heritage speakers’ pronunciation.

Published: August 2021

Background: The integrity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is essential for keeping physiological processes stable, even under stress. Since there is growing interest in heart rate variability (HRV) analysis for the noninvasive assessment of the ANS in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients, we studied the behavior of the ANS in the presence of a stressor that simulates daily-life multitasking, the Glittre ADL test (GA-T). Objectives: To evaluate the involvement of the ANS using HRV in adults with SCA during the GA-T and to quantify the strength of the correlation of HRV with lung and muscle functions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 16 adults with SCA and 12 healthy controls without sickle cell disease underwent HRV assessment during the GA-T, pulmonary function tests (spirometry, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and respiratory muscle testing). Peripheral muscle function [handgrip strength (HGS) and quadriceps strength (QS)] were also measured. Results: Compared to the healthy controls, adults with SCA showed lower HRV, with worse parasympathetic modulation due to reductions in the following indices: the root-mean-square difference of successive normal iRRs (iRR) (RMSSD); the percentage of pairs of consecutive iRRs whose difference is > 50 m (pNN50); the high-frequency component of heart rate variability (HF); and the standard deviation of instantaneous beat-to-beat variability (SD1) (P < 0.001 for all). Compared to healthy controls, individuals with SCA showed greater sympathovagal imbalance (higher ratio between low-frequency and HF components) and lower complexity of the ANS (lower approximate entropy). The GA-T time was correlated with parasympathetic activity indices: RMSSD (rs = -0.650, P < 0.01); pNN50 (rs = -0.932, P < 0.0001), HF (rs = -0.579, P < 0.01), and SD1 (rs = -0.814, P < 0.0001). Correlations between parasympathetic activity indices and DLCO, HGS, and QS measures were also significant. Conclusions: Adults with SCA have low HRV, with low parasympathetic activity, sympathovagal imbalance, and abnormal ANS complexity. In addition, lower HRV is associated with longer GA-T time, greater impairment of pulmonary diffusion, and greater muscle strength dysfunction.
PubMed Central as a platform for the survival of open-access biomedical society journals published in Korea
Authors: Huh Sun
Published: August 2021

Twenty-one years have passed since PubMed Central (PMC) launched. The present case study describes Korean editors’ history of participation in PMC and their contributions to PMC. The three main turning points in the history of Korean editors’ involvement with PMC were as follows: first, the production of PMC XML files and deposition starting in 2008; second, thorough evaluations of applying journals since 2014; and third, the feasibility of non-English journals being indexed in PMC starting in 2019. The importance of PMC is further shown by the fact that KoreaMed Synapse, a full-text XML database of biomedical journals in Korea that was launched in 2007, was created by benchmarking PMC. Scholarly societies or institutes publish 724 (34.2%) of the 2,119 PMC journals without embargo in June 2021. Out of those 724 journals, 127 (17.5%) are published in Korea. PMC has helped local journals receive more citations from researchers worldwide, increasing their likelihood of being indexed in international databases. The number of submissions from international researchers has increased, thereby making it possible for journals to achieve international diversity. As the best full-text platform of biomedical journals, PMC has provided an excellent opportunity for biomedical journal editors in Korea to change their journals’ language to English and produce full-text JATS (Journal Article Tag Suite) XML files. These factors have made Korea the second-ranked country in terms of no-embargo PMC journals published by academic societies or institutes.
Writing letters and emails in English: correspondence for the editorial office
Authors: Whang Yunhee , Wendler-Shaw Pamela
Published: August 2021

One of the main responsibilities of the editorial office is to communicate effectively with authors through emails, formal letters, and most importantly through decision letters. Even when the content is informative and constructive and the editor has only good intentions, if the tone and level of formality are not managed properly, the image of the journal may be negatively affected, which may deter authors from submitting papers to the journal again. Despite their best efforts to treat authors respectfully, some editors may unintentionally cause offense if they lack the appropriate sociolinguistic knowledge required for effective English correspondence. In order to ease the burden of the editorial office, this tutorial aims to assist non-native English speaking editors by demonstrating the basic format and principles of writing formal letters and email, providing tips on how to select an acceptable level of formality, and offering strategies to avoid unintentional rudeness. Specific tips include framing issues positively, using indirect language, and using hedging. Through this tutorial, non-native English speaking editors are expected to develop sociolinguistic competence to write professionally and improve their efficiency in corresponding with authors.
Scientific journals should be transformed into science storytellers to improve their visibility
Authors: Oh Kwangil
Published: August 2021

What is the objective for science journals to publish research papers? Would it be enough to collect research manuscripts and simply publish them in print or on the web? Science journal publishers have always strived to find ways of disseminating journal content to as many readers as possible. It is now time for science journal publishers to think about why a journal should be published; whether it is acceptable for valuable scientific findings to lie dormant in a journal’s archive; and whether traditional science communication is still effective. The present article suggests that science journals should transform themselves into science storytellers to improve the visibility and discoverability of their research findings. First, a new communication network between journals, authors, peers, the public, and policymakers is required. Second, conversion of media from academic language to plain language is critical to broadening the audience. Third, audio-visual content should be introduced into journal publishing to facilitate easy comprehension of the content. Fourth, research-focused channels, including EurekAlert, Medium, and social networking service channels are recommended as new media to propagate journals’ content to researchers. Improving visibility and discoverability is an urgent mission, especially for small society journals. To achieve this mission, science journals should be adapted to become storytellers and science communicators, as suggested above. A small society journal’s editor is not merely an editor, but an editor-publisher; therefore, editors should understand and take on this role.

L’émergence des Églises locales autonomes en Afrique
Authors: Song Song Simon Pierre
Published: August 2021

Depuis le dernier concile, la question de l’émergence de véritables Églises locales en Afrique est devenue une préoccupation constante de l’épiscopat et des théologiens africains. Nous l’envisageons ici à partir des élaborations de J.-M. Ela et de J.-A. Malula en thématisant la question de l’africanisation des Églises locales soutenue par l’archevêque de Kinshasa et celle du droit à la différence prônée par le théologien camerounais.
