Truth, Reconciliation, and the Heritage of Forced Removal
Authors: Reid Jasmine
Published: September 2023

This chapter explores how the Fietas Museum, a small heritage site in west Johannesburg, grapples with the failures of South Africa’s democracy to restitute land back to the millions of non-white people displaced under apartheid. Designed to commemorate the forced removals that destroyed the historic town of Fietas in the 1970s, the museum highlights the plight of Johannesburg Indians who still deal with the ruins of apartheid-era social engineering. This chapter argues that these heritage narratives successfully amplify stories of collective displacement that the post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission ignored. However, this chapter ultimately concludes that the museum’s spatial activism characterizes the current town of Fietas as an Indian landscape, one that is incompatible with newly arrived Black migrants. As a result, these migrants now face new forms of racial antagonism and forced displacement in the post-colony.
Excavating Knowledge
Authors: Engmann Rachel Ama Asaa , Engmann Dorothy Ann
Published: September 2023

Conversations about heritage and democracy point to the significance and role of archaeology in education. Drawing on critical education pedagogies, together with politically engaged archaeological work, this chapter examines Excavating Knowledge, a community engaged heritage and education project that is part of ongoing archaeological work at Christiansborg Castle in Osu, Accra, Ghana. A United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, Christiansborg Castle is a former Danish slave trading fortification, seat of British colonial government administration, and Office of the President of the Republic of Ghana. Excavating Knowledge employs transformative, critical heritage pedagogies through experiential teaching and learning, to improve the reach and quality of the Ghanaian public education system, particularly among underserved urban communities, currently challenged by scarce resources. It creates and fosters critical inquiry, thinking, analysis, discussion, and debate in order to encourage individuals and communities to engage in the study, interpretation, management, conservation and preservation of heritage. It also promotes the application of these transferable skills to become politically active citizens in a participatory democracy in order to achieve national development, in the present and in the future in postcolonial Ghana.
Envisioning Sustainable Futures
Authors: Platts Ellen J.
Published: September 2023

This chapter discusses how membership in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) presents opportunities and challenges for enhancing democratic participation in sustainable development focused on culture in urban areas. It presents a discourse analysis of documents from the 15-plus year history of the UCCN, including the 2001 Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and the management documents for the program. Through this analysis, this chapter draws out two distinct definitions of “cultural diversity” embedded within the UCCN, one focused on pluralistic participation and decision-making, and the other emphasizing economic development. Through a case study set in Tucson, Arizona, a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, this chapter examines the suggested compatibility and perceived incompatibility of these definitions, and the challenges that the slippages between them create for citizens of Creative Cities.
Social Change and the Construction of Landscapes in the Salish Sea
Authors: Grier Colin
Published: September 2023

This chapter considers the role of landscape construction in shaping the long-term history of peoples of the Salish Sea in coastal southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is argued that major construction investments evident at several long-standing village sites following 1000 BP reflect a period of broad buy-in to collective projects by diverse segments of Coast Salish society. These landscape-focused efforts contrast with the more limited scale of prior types of constructions, particularly burial cairns and mounds, which resulted from the pursuit of social differentiation by elite in the preceding Marpole period. The key conclusion is that the period between 1000 and 500 cal BP involved a renewed effort in landscape investment focused primarily on the construction of places and the remaking of communities, realizing forms of collective action not evident in prior times.
Selfish for Shellfish? Magnanimous about Mollusks?
Authors: Pluckhahn Thomas J. , Thompson Victor D. , Matthew Compton J. , Trevor Duke C. , Lulewicz Isabelle H.
Published: September 2023

Recent authors suggest shellfish may have been key to the evolution of cooperation among human societies. However, others argue that cooperation may operate at different temporal and spatial scales. We examine shifts in cooperation across the Middle (ca. 300 BC to AD 500) and Late (AD 500 to 1050) Woodland periods among fisher-hunter-gatherers of the west-central Florida peninsula, focusing on the neighboring sites of Crystal River and Roberts Island. The former period is widely understood as an interval marked by greater cooperation, as evidenced by the fluorescence of long-distance exchange and burial mound ceremony. A decline in trade and mortuary ceremony, coupled with settlement dispersal of, are commonly understood to represent greater competition during the Late Woodland. Our research suggests a more complicated picture, with incremental changes in the context and scale of cooperation over the first millennium AD.
Discovery, Excavation, and Context of Materials in the Point San Jose Pit
Authors: Gavette Peter , Willey P.
Published: September 2023

This chapter discusses the archaeological context of the materials at Point San Jose. A history of Fort Mason and the hospital building is provided, followed by a narrative describing the discovery of the human remains and the excavation of the pit. The discovery’s comparative context with similarly modified skeletal series is addressed as well as portions of two guiding questions of the overall work: what purpose had the human remains served and what did their disposal represent?
The Bolivarian Revolution on Trial
Authors: Pedraza Silvia , Romero Carlos A.
Published: September 2023

This chapter does the same work as the previous chapter but with consideration to Venezuela. First, the historical background of Venezuelan politics is outlined and analyzed. Venezuela’s change in power led by Hugo Chávez and followed by Nicolas Maduro has been less clearly socialist or revolutionary than Cuba’s 1959 revolution. The subsequent oil boom is then highlighted, as it incited both economic growth and international interest. Chávez was democratically elected in 1998 and used themes of justice and nationalism to appeal to the people, specifically using the figure of Simón Bolívar to create the idea of a Venezuelan exceptionalism. Oil reserves of the country contributed greatly to the rise and fall of its economy and political stability. Speculations are made in the last section of the chapter on the continuation of Maduro’s regime and its relationship to the United States.
Cuba’s Foreign Policy
Authors: Pedraza Silvia , Romero Carlos A.
Published: September 2023

This chapter delves deeper into Cuba’s relationships with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Venezuela. Fidel Castro created a foreign policy for the island nation that was based around the principles of proletarian internationalism and anti-status-quo behavior. Due to a lack of resources for exportation, Cuba has historically had to rely on other countries for the importation of goods and economic support. Cuba’s alliance with the Soviet Union during the Cold War gave it geopolitical significance and a distinctly anti-U.S. position. After the fall of the USSR, Cuba aligned itself with Venezuela and depends on the exportation of service sector professionals (mostly doctors and nurses) in exchange for goods such as oil. Into the 21st century Cuba has been a key geopolitical player, and its contemporary support of and relations with Venezuela are analyzed in the last section of this chapter.
The Repeating Island?
Authors: Scarano Francisco A.
Published: September 2023

Francisco Scarano underlines “the convergences and similarities between these two nations, even in very recent times,” despite their “remarkably disparate trajectories” since the nineteenth century. Scarano points out several “unusual similarities” between contemporary Cuba and Puerto Rico, such as the short-lived experimentation with import-substitution industrialization in both countries, or their dependence on metropolitan largesse (from the Soviet Union, in Cuba’s case, or the United States, in Puerto Rico’s case). The ultimate failure of each country’s development model, while produced in different contexts and for different reasons, had a similar outcome: the decline in the living standards of most of the population. Scarano ends his chapter with a celebration of the cultural convergence between the two islands (which he calls a “reencounter”) in the post–Cold War period, especially popular musical exchanges, that reaffirm the notion of the “two wings of a bird.”
The Harlem of the Club Las Dos Antillas
Authors: Hoffnung-Garskof Jesse
Published: September 2023

Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof examines the Cuban and Puerto Rican diasporas and analyzes of the multiracial origins of the club Las Dos Antillas in Harlem by focusing on race, space, and politics in early Antillean New York. As the author notes, Las Dos Antillas was one of several revolutionary exile clubs in the United States, established in the late nineteenth century, which served as the cauldron of a political alliance between Cubans and Puerto Ricans, both Black and White. Hoffnung-Garskof centers on the development of a racially inclusive ideology among Afro-descendant members of the Cuban nationalist movement, along with their Puerto Rican allies, who tended to settle in what would later become the Spanish Harlem neighborhood of New York City. This chapter draws upon the minutes and other archival materials on the Club Las Dos Antillas to reconstruct “a multiracial coalition in the broader experience of ‘migrating while Black’ in a city with a very small Black population” in the late nineteenth century. This historical experience of coalition building between mostly working-class Caribbean migrants gives new meaning to the expression “two wings of a bird.”
The Musical Impact of the Mariel Boatlift on the Latin Music Scene of New York City and Interethnic Collaboration among Puerto Ricans and Cubans
Authors: Lapidus Benjamin
Published: September 2023

Cubans and Puerto Ricans have interacted musically throughout history, yet their collaborations were greatly impacted by the 1980 Mariel boatlift. As Benjamin Lapidus notes, few scholarly works have focused on the musical impact of Cubans who arrived during the Mariel exodus. Existing scholarship on Cuban music in the United States has centered on the period before and immediately after 1959 and has overlooked important musicians who brought the newest Cuban musical information to the United States in the late twentieth century. Lapidus discusses the immediate musical effects of the Mariel boatlift by examining some of the dancers and musicians who arrived in New York City at that time. The activities of these and other musicians had long-term effects on the folkloric and Latin popular dance music scenes in New York and the United States, not only as performers but in many cases also as teachers for subsequent generations of Cuban and non-Cuban musicians. These interactions produced hybrid forms of both Cuban and Puerto Rican genres. Mariel immigrants served as important points of connection for musicians and dancers who arrived in the early 1990s during the era of the balseros (rafters) and would fit into established networks of Cuban and Puerto Rican musicians.
The Narratives and Life Projects of Orientales from Cuba in Puerto Rico and Florida
Authors: Ortiz-Torres Blanca
Published: September 2023

Blanca Ortiz-Torres and Mario A. Rodríguez-Cancel analyze the experience of Cubans born in the eastern region of Cuba, who have migrated to Puerto Rico and the United States in the past two decades. The participants in Ortiz-Torres and Rodríguez-Cancel’s interviews usually perceived themselves as different from Cubans from other regions, especially from habaneros, and those who live in the United States. They often expressed feeling like foreigners discriminated against in their own country of origin, since their migratory process often started by moving to Havana. The theme of discrimination has been central for most of the participants in their transit from Havana to Puerto Rico and Florida. Their narratives include nostalgia for their homeland, appreciation for the welcoming response from Puerto Ricans, and the possibility of personal and professional growth. Even though some felt uprooted, their interactions with Puerto Ricans facilitated adaptation and many said they felt Puerto Rican. Ortiz-Torres and Rodríguez-Cancel point to the need for research with a larger sample, which would allow for the documentation of the particularities and subjectivities of migrants from eastern Cuba to Puerto Rico and the United States.
Becoming Cuba-Rican
Authors: Duany Jorge
Published: September 2023

Jorge Duany reflects upon his hybrid cultural identity as part Cuban and part Puerto Rican. After leaving Cuba as a child, Duany lived first in Panama City and then in San Juan. He pursued his university studies in the United States, then returned to Puerto Rico and lived most of his adult life there. In this chapter, Duany places himself within the context of the Cuban community in San Juan, where he was raised and which he studied for his doctoral dissertation. This autobiographical account allows him to better understand the relatively privileged but ambivalent position of Cubans in Puerto Rico as a “middleman” or trading minority, which often puts them at odds with members of Puerto Rican society. In 2012, Duany became the director of the Cuban Research Institute at Florida International University. He now lives in Miami, where he has reencountered his Cuban roots in the city he calls “the crossroads of nomads.” Duany’s testimony reminds us that the journeys of the Cuban diaspora are complex and diverse and take migrants on many roads back and forth and beyond their homeland.
PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OF SOIL AND WHEAT PRODUCTIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF COVERING PLANTS AND MECHANICAL CHISELING
Authors: Michelon Cleudson , Schott Anderson Diego , Junges Emanuele
Published: September 2023

Soil compaction is a main physical problem in many growing areas. The use of ground cover crops for soil decompaction has been a subject of many studies. That has promising results both used alone and in association with mechanical chiseling. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of cover crops associated or not with mechanical chiseling, for that, on the physical attributes of the soil, and the wheat grain yield, in an Ultisol from the Central Depression of RS. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with 3 replications in each block, in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme. Where the factor A: soil chiseling - chiseled and non-chiseled, and P fator: cover crops – pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), Crotalaria juncea (Crotalaria juncea), pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) and velvet bean (Mucuna aterrima). The chiseling was adjusted to a depth of 0.30m, with 5 rods spaced 0.3m apart. The determinations carried out were: macroporosity, microporosity, total soil porosity, bulk density (BD), penetration resistance (RP), and grain yield. The physical attributes of the soil showed improvements in the second year evaluated, highlighting the treatments with pearl millet and velvet bean that showed higher differences. The maximum RP of the Soil was observed at a depth of 0.25m with 1.64 Mpa. There was a significant difference in the RP of the soil between the treatments of factor A at depths of 0.15 - 0.20 and 0.25m. Mechanical chiseling provided a 15% increase in wheat grain yield compared to non-chiseling treatment, while P factor treatments did not provide any gain.
From Wilderness to City
Authors: O'Dell Gary A.
Published: September 2023

This chapter looks at the early settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains in the Inner Bluegrass region. The author pays attention to the difficult living conditions that Euromerican settlers encountered during their early attempts at establishing stations along the Kentucky frontier as well as to the challenges that sanitation and clean water supply posed to the sophistication of cities during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Royal Spring, surrounded by some of the richest land to be found in Kentucky, provided the site for Georgetown in 1787 as well as the explanation for its early rise to prominence among Bluegrass communities.
A Goodly Land
Authors: O'Dell Gary A.
Published: September 2023

While the hardships to reshape and domesticate the Bluegrass made many reconsider their initial appraisals of its paradisiacal qualities, no one could deny the benevolence of this well-drained, bountiful land. This chapter explores how the region's social, economic, and geographic characteristics derived from its limestone bedrock and the waterways that irrigate it.
McClelland's Station
Authors: O'Dell Gary A.
Published: September 2023

This chapter outlines the McClelland party's campaign from Franklin County, Pennsylvania to the Inner Bluegrass region. The party herded livestock on the banks of the Ohio River until they settled McClelland's Station near Floyd's Spring, where uncertainty and conflict loomed at the outset of the Indian wars in Kentucky. The author offers an extensive account of the nature of pioneer cabins and stations at that time.

Performing Hillsville, Part Two
Authors: Rountree Travis A.
Published: September 2023

"Performing Hillsville: A Rhetorical Update of Frank Levering's Shootout Plays" illustrates a new portrayal of the shootout that includes four "spectacular moments" in the plays that causes empathetic moments of rhetoric to happen with the audience and actors. These moments break the fourth wall between audience members and actors. The chapter starts with an analysis of the historic courthouse where the actors perform the play to demonstrate the contrast of it as a site of memorial and public memory that evokes the dangerous hillbilly stereotype to then contrast the play that evokes empathetic emotions towards the characters involved. These empathetic "spectacular moments" are analyzed to demonstrate the exchange that happens between the play and audience members, which creates a new retelling that allows for healing.
“Feelings Are Still Very Strong”
Authors: Rountree Travis A.
Published: September 2023

'Feelings Are Still Very Strong': Sites of Public Memory in Hillsville, Virginia," examines the vernacular and official histories of the shoot-out in three museums local to Hillsville. These histories demonstrate the values of the communities where they are located and provide epideictic history making moments as patrons are lead through three different constructions and experiences of the shoot-out. These constructions provide vernacular, humanistic views located in the courthouse museum to official, stereotypical portrayals in the Mt. Airy Regional History Museum. The courthouse museum gives a ground zero approach that depends on the guidance of the curator, Bill Webb, to guide patrons through. Whereas the Mount Airy Regional History Museum attempts to officially place Hillsville in the construction of the Appalachian region. Lastly, the most vernacular museum, the Gooch Harmon Museum, asks patrons to construct their own versions of the shoot-out through an assortment of artifacts ranging from local newspapers to more intimate objects like Floyd Allen's saddle bags. Each of these museums demonstrates that the story of the shoot-out continues to emerge in Hillsville's culture today.
“I Wish You Had Not Thought to Come Here”
Authors: Rountree Travis A.
Published: September 2023

'I Wish You Had Not Thought to Come Here': Feminine Silences, Pleas, and Community Rhetorics from the 1912 Hillsville, Virginia Courthouse Shoot-Out," focuses on giving voice to the women involved in the shoot-out through archival materials as well as demonstrating how their fictional roles in Levering's plays continue to allow for empathy for both sides. Evoking a memory of resilient silence, the women directly involved with the shoot-out do not want to retell the story. While these archival voices are crucial in understanding the emergence of women's voices in the shoot-out, Levering's plays also provide a fruitful place for recovering these women's voices. Analyzing these voices through the theory of empathetic rhetorics demonstrate how they make a difference in the retelling of the story. Whether they are archival or fictional, the women's voices validate that there is a need to approach the shoot-out in a different way rather than the masculine-based violence that has served as the dominant narrative for so long.
The Origins and Launch of Twentieth-Century Black Abolitionism
Authors: Griffler Keith P.
Published: September 2023

The chapter traces how and why a core group of Black freedom movement leaders in the mid to late nineteenth century identified the development of a new slavery that not only took hold in the South and elsewhere in the Americas but re-crossed the Atlantic to Africa. It examines in turn the contributions to post-Emancipation Black abolitionist doctrine of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois and Alice Kinloch. The chapter then examines the convergence of those separate strands at the Pan-African Conference of 1900 from which emerged the first programmatic statement of twentieth century Black abolitionism. It culminates with a consideration of the effects of that seminal gathering on Du Bois, who took the leading role in the movement going forward in commencing his decades-long quest for a comprehensive Black abolitionist doctrine.
Reactivating the Antislavery-Antiracism Alliance for a New Century
Authors: Griffler Keith P.
Published: September 2023

The chapter recounts how late nineteenth and early twentieth century Black abolitionism reconstituted the interracialism of the antebellum movement. It begins with Black South African journalist Alice Kinloch striking up a partnership with Henry Fox Bourne of the Aborigines Protection Society to catalyze an antislavery campaign that helped restore the militant spirit of British abolitionism. Their efforts cemented the partnership of nascent Pan Africanism and British antislavery, building on Ida B. Wells' antilynching crusade, breathing life into a dormant movement. With the founding of the NAACP in 1909, W.E.B. Du Bois spearheaded the launch of a parallel movement across the Atlantic. Later, when he found his efforts stymied by the intransigence of American racial politics and inspired by the successes of Wells and Kinloch in Britain, Du Bois turned his postwar efforts from the American stage to the international in reviving Pan Africanism.
“The Emancipation of Man”
Authors: Griffler Keith P.
Published: September 2023

The chapter charts the response of Black abolitionists to the ascendancy of the new antislavery sanctioning the new slavery. Frustrated in its attempts to secure allies, Black abolitionism developed a far-reaching conception of antiracist human rights that constitutes an alternative antislavery legacy. With the growth of Pan Africanism and allied political outlooks in the 1920s, there was an intensified focus on the exploitation of Black workers globally by a line of activists that extended from Marcus Garvey to Martin Luther King. W.E.B. Du Bois gave their ideas their most comprehensive expression, defining slavery as the use of racism to exploit Black people in ways that were categorically impossible in the case of whites. As the "ultimate exploited," their enslavement was the product of the concrete conditions of global racism, which he called "color caste" to emphasize that it was hereditary, historically entrenched, society-wide, and independent of the law.
The Emancipation of Women
Authors: Griffler Keith P.
Published: September 2023

The chapter considers the intersectional Black abolitionism pioneered by women activists from Ida B. Wells, Alice Kinloch and Ella Baker to later African activists who refined the thinking of their male counterparts. They realized that gender lay behind the specific bondage of women as well as the new slavery at large. The intersection of race and gender in the new slavery, as in the old, had far-reaching implications for the cause Black abolitionists espoused. These women activists gave Black abolitionism a form that fits better into later trends in the Black freedom movement, expanding and refining W.E.B. Du Bois's definition of the new slavery to include any instance of the use of social difference as a basis for the denial of the rights and protections afforded other workers for purposes of exploitation beyond what is otherwise societally acceptable.
Literary Psychology: Main Character Analysis of "The Feisty Fiancee" by Jessica Steele
Authors: Mariana Ana
Published: September 2023

Background: The emergence of literary psychology studies is inseparable from the link between psychology and literature, so the main character in a literary work in the form of a novel is interesting to analyze.
Purpose: This research aims to describe the character types and their changes played by "Yancie Dawkins" and Thompson Wakefield in the novel "The Feisty Fiancee" by Jessica Steele.
Method: This research is literature research with a literary psychology approach. The primary data source is a novel entitled "The Feisty Fiancee" by Jessica Steele. Data collection techniques were carried out with manuscript documentation, namely reading the novel's narrative critically and in-depth, reading the storyline continuously, and coding and identifying the text of the story played by the main and supporting actors. The research instrument uses four aspects of the novel, namely; 1) plot, 2) setting, 3) theme, and 4) point of view. While in the aspect of literary psychology, the researcher used the instrument of Flat, Static, and Rounded characters. The data analysis technique is done by content analysis, with five stages, namely identifying the intrinsic elements of the novel, classifying the data, describing the story and dialogue, describing the events that lead to the discussion of the main character, and concluding the subject matter about the types of characters in the main character in the review of literary psychology.
Results and Discussion: Yancie Dawkins, is the main character in Julia Steele's The Feisty Fiancée. Steele describes Yancie's physical appearance as a girl who is beautiful, independent, unique, and categorized as a feminist who has a good nature as a female character in real life today. Yancie's type is categorized into Static Character which is hard and annoying Yancie has a stable character from the beginning of the story to the end which is characterized by her stability in facing problems in her life. The supporting character in this novel is played by Thompson, he is a minor character, because Thompson plays an important role in the development of the story, especially the problems faced by Yancie Dawkins. Thompson's type is categorized as a Dynamic Character, constantly changing and developing as the story progresses. Dynamic characters respond to events and experience changes in attitude or outlook.
Conclusion and Implications: The conclusion of this study shows that the novel "The Feisty Fiancée" introduces readers to the types of characters that can be emulated in everyday life. However, readers can also understand the roles and changes of characters that can change, according to the conditions of time, place, and events. The implication of the research can be a reference for future researchers to analyze the character and characterization of the characters.

The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with the research location in the Guguak Wali Nagari Office, Koto VII District, Sijunjung Regency. The informants in this study were the Guguak Nagari Guardians, the Nagari Secretaries, the Nagari Officials, Community and Community Leaders. Data collection techniques are through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques include data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that: The form of the performance of the nagari government in improving community services The nagari government should provide services to the community, namely it must prosper the community, but the following is contradictory because the nagari apparatus is slow in providing services to the community who takes care of their needs. the efforts faced by the nagari government in improving services to the community by making a suggestion box, because with this suggestion box the nagari apparatus can provide efforts to improve these services, the nagari apparatus provides a suggestion box and can also improve the quality of human resources (HR). the obstacles faced by the nagari government in improving community services are such as the low human resources (HR) of the nagari apparatus, the lack of public understanding of services that use the network and the internet causes problems with services. Based on the results of the research above, it can be concluded that the performance of the nagari government in improving services to the community is still not good. In an effort to improve these services, the nagari apparatus provides a suggestion box and can also improve the quality of human resources (HR). The constraints faced by the nagari government were constrained from carrying out service actions to the community. Due to the lack of good network and internet at the wali nagari office, the service is constrained which will make the community's NIB.
Fatigue Failure of a Distal Radius Dorsal Spanning Locked Bridge Plate with Tendon Rupture: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature
Authors: Rengifo Santiago , Ilyas Asif M.
Published: September 2023

A 63-year-old female with concomitant hip and distal radius fractures, was treated with a dorsal spanning bridge plate fixation of the distal radius to allow immediate upper extremity weight-bearing. At nine weeks postoperatively, the plate fractured through its central screw holes, rupturing the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon and requiring implant removal and tendon transfer. Low-profile bridge plates in distal radius fractures can result in early fatigue failure and tendon injury. Stouter plates and/or low-profile plates without midplate holes, should be considered when immediate weight-bearing through the injured wrist is needed.

Objective: To examine the natural history and detailed outcome of diagnosed cases of abdominal wall defects that admitted to The Children`s Hospital at Westmead. Methods: This was A retrospective single centre study of all cases of abdominal wall defects admitted between the 1st of October 1998 and the 1st of January 2007 to The Children`s Hospital at Westmead. The study had been conducted through a retrospective review of the neonatal, pediatric surgery records and subsequent follow-up information of all cases of Omphalocele and Gastroschisis diagnosed. Results: Ninety cases with anterior abdominal wall defects were admitted. Majority of the cases were born at Westmead Hospital. There were 25 neonates with Gastroschisis (27 females, 28 males), and 35 neonates with Exomphalos (15 females, 20 males). Eighty-one neonates had prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. Some neonates had associated congenital anomalies which results in five deaths (4 Exomphalos, 1 Gastroschisis). Post operative complications were common and the postoperative hospital stay was often lengthy. Twenty-five patients out of the ninety (15 Gastroschisis, 10 exomphalos) required further operations which were related to their primary diagnosis of Gastroschisis or Exomphalos, mostly for abdominal wall hernias. Conclusions: Long-term outcome was favourable in majority of cases with abdominal wall defects and mortality substantially happened in neonates with associated anomalies. Reoperations were necessary in those patients who had postoperative hernias.

One of the most effective means of empowering someone with knowledge and skills that bring about change and support their economic development is education. According to an article written by Leverage (2021), education helps to create a better society. Understanding the value of education in today’s culture is crucial. Learning or acquiring knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits is the education process. With the correct teaching strategies, teachers can make the classroom fun and effective for students to gain vital intellectual and social skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives (Indeed, 2023). Among such teaching methods is the use of experiential learning, wherein the students use experiences to learn a certain topic or subject (Institute for Experiential Learning, 2021). Hence, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of using an experiential learning strategy in teaching hip-hop to enhance dance performance among Grade 10 students. A descriptive-experimental research design method was employed wherein a pre and post-test was given among the respondents and their perception of the experiential learning strategy was assessed. Considering this, the results revealed a significant difference in the performance of the respondents before and after employing the experiential learning strategy in terms of knowledge, comprehension, ability, and attitude. It was also found that there is no significant relationship between the respondents' perception of the respondents in connection with the experiential learning strategy when compared to their performance.

Along with the development of the times and science, there is also a method of interpretation derived from philosophy, namely hermeneutics. Hermeneutics as a new method in the interpretation of the Qur'an is expected to be able to reveal things that cannot be known through the old method of interpretation. This study aims to examine the various hermeneutical approaches in Islamic studies. The method used in this research is literature study. The results of this study conclude that hermeneutics can be interpreted as an interpretation method that pays attention to the context of words (from a text) and the cultural context of their thoughts. Hermeneutics is divided into three varieties, namely the theory of hermeneutics which focuses its discussion on methodology, philosophy of hermeneutics whose focus is on tracing the ontological status of efforts to understand (understanding), and critical hermeneutics which emphasizes its language concerning efforts to uncover the causes of distortions in understanding. The hermeneutic method is considered to have a characteristic, namely the development of the contextualization value of a text to be studied. Hermeneutics in Islamic studies through the interpretation of the Qur’an finds a match between the verses of the Qur’an and science, which also shows the miracles of the Qur’an and its glory.
