Authors: Fedotova M. S. , Panfilova H. L. , Tsurikova O. V. , Blazhiievska O. M.
Published: October 2021

Against the background of systematic aging of the population and increase in life expectancy the problems of the spread of all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, are becoming increasingly important.
Аim. To study epidemiology of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in Ukraine.
Materials and methods. Data from the Center for Mental Health and Monitoring of Drugs and Alcohol of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine for 2015-2019 were studied. In the research, in addition to general theoretical methods, methods of epidemiological studies were also used.
Results and discussion. It has been found that since 2018 in Ukraine, the incidence rates of all mental disorders (4.0 %) increased, including organic lesions with symptomatic manifestations of cognitive impairment (2.0 %), all forms of dementia (6.0 %), vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (9.0 % each). The structure of dementia is dominated by vascular forms of dementia (62.59 %), while Alzheimer’s disease has been characterized since 2015 by a systematic increase in the proportion (%) from 7.0 % to 12.0 %. The average prevalence of dementia in Ukraine is 99.72, and Alzheimer’s disease is 5.34 per 100 thousand population. A significant fluctuation in the prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in different regions of the country has been proven. Thus, in the regions of the country, these indicators differed by 6 or more times. The highest prevalence rates of dementia were observed in 7 regions (Vinnytsia, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Zhytomyr, Kharkiv, Cherkasy and Chernihiv regions) and Kyiv, and for Alzheimer’s disease – in 3 regions (Zaporizhia, Kherson, Chernihiv) and Kyiv.
Conclusions. It is necessary to introduce an effective system for recording and monitoring cases of all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. This will form the basis for the development of models for the rational distribution of healthcare resources for the effective treatment and social rehabilitation of these groups of patients in Ukraine.
“Smoke Rising Day and Night”: Exploring Chava Rosenfarb’s Implicit Mysticism in "Edgia’s Revenge"
Authors: Toufexis Jesse
Published: October 2021

The central preoccupation of Chava Rosenfarb’s “Edgia’s Revenge” is an escape from a perceived outward Jewishness. That Rosenfarb’s protagonist is never afforded this vital flight is one of the story’s key dramas that plays out in the form of a power dynamic between two Holocaust survivors, Rella and Edgia. On the surface, this failure can be attributed to Rella’s anxiety and guilt about her former role as a kapo in a concentration camp. This article argues, however, that Rella’s failure to rid herself of her Jewishness and her past is exemplified through the use of mountains as sacred zones in “Edgia’s Revenge.”La préoccupation centrale de « Edgia’s Revenge » de Chava Rosenfarb est d’échapper à une judéité perçue comme extérieure. Le fait que le protagoniste de Rosenfarb ne puisse jamais s’offrir ce vol vital est l’un des principaux drames de l’histoire qui se joue sous la forme d’une dynamique de pouvoir entre deux survivants de l’Holocauste, Rella et Edgia. À première vue, cet échec peut être attribué à l’anxiété et à la culpabilité de Rella concernant son ancien rôle de kapo dans un camp de concentration. Cet article soutient cependant que l’échec de Rella à se débarrasser de sa judéité et de son passé est illustré par l’utilisation des montagnes comme zones sacrées dans « Edgia’s Revenge ».
“His Notebook Grew Orchids and Weeds”: Language, Burial, and Recovery in Anne Michaels’s Fugitive Pieces
Authors: Monahan Sara
Published: October 2021

Through the critical lens of trauma theory, this article explores Anne Michaels’s recurrent imagery of archaeological and geological excavations; burial, drowning, and uncovering; and the inconsistencies, repetitions, and ruptures in language and memory prevalent in Holocaust narratives. By focusing on the image of the buried journal as a kind of grave and unearthing its layered narratives, this article argues for Fugitive Pieces as an excavation of language and memory, and that it functions as a unique type of Holocaust narrative that seeks healing through reinterpreted ideas of place, geography, the body, absence, and displacement.À travers le prisme critique de la théorie du traumatisme, cet article explore l’imagerie récurrente d’Anne Michaels des fouilles archéologiques et géologiques, de l’enfouissement, de la noyade et de la mise au jour, ainsi que les incohérences, les répétitions et les ruptures dans le langage et la mémoire qui prévalent dans les récits de l’Holocauste. En se concentrant sur l’image du journal enterré comme une sorte de tombe et en déterrant ses récits superposés, cet article soutient que Fugitive Pieces est une excavation du langage et de la mémoire, et qu’il fonctionne comme un type unique de récit de l’Holocauste qui cherche à guérir à travers des idées
Engendering Biopoetics of Testimony: Louise Dupré, Chus Pato, and Erín Moure
Authors: Quéma Anne
Published: October 2021

The act of bearing witness to the remnants of Auschwitz strains poetry and poetics. To examine manifestations of this disarray, this article first establishes a dialogue between philosophy and poetry by discussing Giorgio Agamben’s conception of testimony and Jacques Derrida’s reflection on the shibboleth. It goes on to consider writings by Louise Dupré, Chus Pato, and Erín Moure, who write as inheritors of necropolitical violence, yet at a remove from the Shoah. Although their writing practices cross paths with Agamben’s and Derrida’s reflections, these poets generate a biopoetics of testimony that exceeds these reflections by engendering a tension between dispossession and regeneration.L’acte de témoigner des vestiges d’Auschwitz met à mal la poésie et la poétique. Pour examiner les manifestations de ce désarroi, cet article établit d’abord un dialogue entre philosophie et poésie en abordant la conception du témoignage de Giorgio Agamben et la réflexion de Jacques Derrida sur le shibboleth. Il se penche ensuite sur les écrits de Louise Dupré, Chus Pato et Erín Moure, qui écrivent en héritiers de la violence nécropolitique, mais à distance de la Shoah. Bien que leurs pratiques d’écriture croisent les réflexions d’Agamben et de Derrida, ces poètes génèrent une biopoétique du témoignage qui dépasse ces réflexions en engendrant une tension entre dépossession et régénération.

Juvenile systemic sclerosis (JSS) has many clinical manifestations that differ from adults. Early diagnosis is problematic. The course of the disease and the severity of the prognosis depend on the involvement of internal organs in the process, first of all, the heart, lungs, kidneys. Cardiac pathology is a frequent and prognostically unfavorable target of the scleroderma process in adults, but it is rarely diagnosed in children. The aim of the work was to study the features of the clinical manifestations of systemic sclerosis in a child with severe heart disease. A polymorphism of the clinical symptoms of severe heart damage with the development of dilated cardiomyopathy in a one-year-old child with systemic sclerosis is presented. The features of the case are the early debut of systemic sclerosis in a child with a burdened hereditary history of autoimmune pathology (psoriasis in the father and grandmother), rapid progression of the autoimmune process, severe heart damage by the type of non-compact (dilated) cardiomyopathy, positive clinical dynamics when using pathogenetic therapy. Early detection of cardiovascular lesions using modern diagnostic methods, timely implementation of adequate therapy in a multidisciplinary team and regular cardiovascular screening can improve the prognosis, quality of life and reduce mortality.

Preparing teachers of Early Childhood Education to teach a foreign language: the PEPELINO portfolio in practice
Authors: Rokita-Jaśkow Joanna , Król-Gierat Werona
Published: October 2021

Teaching a foreign language at pre-primary level has been officially introduced in Poland in 2015 as a follow-up to European policy guidelines (European Commission 2011b). Teachers are agents of any language policy as it is them who have to warrant its implementation through pedagogical practice. While most of the studies conducted on policy implementation focus on teacher beliefs and multilingual practices (e.g., Haukås 2016; Lundberg 2019), the following paper concentrates on implementing European language policy guidelines in respect of early foreign language education and pluralistic approaches. It describes a quantitative study of early education in-service teachers who attended a 3-semester preparation course for language teaching. The data analysis revealed that ‘supporting the linguistic development of children with other first languages than Polish’ gained the least support among the respondents, despite a significant course module devoted to this issue. Therefore, the conclusion can be drawn that the teachers will be able to raise interest in language learning by very young learners, by drawing on their experience as Early Childhood Educators, yet it will be difficult to foster plurilingualism and attitudes of intercultural interest by teachers who often lack intercultural experience and plurilingual awareness themselves.
Investigational Study for the efficiency of Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles in the Oil Recovery Process using glass micromodel
Authors: Elhaj Wamda , Almomani Fares
Published: October 2021

Nanofluids have shown their potential in the oil recovery process through surface modification. Due to their surface characteristics, they can apply to improve the oil production from reservoirs by enabling different enhanced recovery mechanisms. The preparation and development of the Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles for the oil recovery process is an innovative and novel approach that influences the oil generation from reservoirs. The performance of the Fe3O4@SiO2 and the other nanofluids (seawater, Fe3O4, and SiO2) in the enhanced oil recovery process is assessed and compared with other flooding scenarios. The Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs achieved the highest oil production rate of 90.2%, while Fe3O4 and SiO2 NPs achieved 70.8% and 55.3%, respectively. In contrast, the value achieved for the seawater injection was 76.5%. For the oil recovery process, the Fe3O4 was applied for the inhibition (i.e., decrease) of oil sedimentation, and the SiO2 NPs were applied for wettability alteration and IFT reduction. The experimental results showed that the produced Fe3O4@SiO2 NPs improved the oil recovery rates (90.2%) as well as the synergetic impact of the developed NPs by initiating several mechanisms corresponding to the use of the separate NPs in the micromodel. Moreover, the results exhibited that the reservoir conditions are a crucial function for increasing the oil recovery rates, improving the emulsion stability, and is a substantial step for the oil recovery method that applies this particular technique.
Physical Fitness and Academic Performance in Normal Weight, Overweight, and Obese Schoolchildren in Qatar: A Pilot Study for Physical Education Perspective
Authors: Hermassi Souhail , Hayes Lawrence D. , Schwesig René
Published: October 2021

Childhood obesity and loss of physical fitness are rising problems internationally. Although research concerning mitigation strategies has been enforced, empirical results until now fail to address problems and needs of the Gulf region, which has unique geographical and cultural features. Therefore, this study investigated academic performance and physical fitness in normal, overweight, and obese child handball athletes in Qatar. Measurements included anthropometric data (BMI and body fat percentage (%BF)), and physical performance tests: agility T-half test; squat jump (SJ), and countermovement jump (CMJ), 10 and 15 m sprint; medicine ball throw. Aerobic capacity was evaluated using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1. Academic achievement was assessed through school records of grades point average (GPA) of Mathematics, Science and Arabic. With the exception of medicine ball throw (obese: 4.08 ± 1.05 m) and sprinting parameters (overweight: 10 m: 2.43 ± 0.35 s, 15 m: 3.60 ± 0.46 s), athletes from the normal weight group showed the highest performance level in all parameters. Between group differences existed for the T-Half Test (p = 0.035, ηp2 = 0.190), CMJ (p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.363) and SJ (p = 0.007, ηp2 = 0.269). For CMJ and SJ, the comparison between overweight and normal weight also yielded a difference (CMJ: p = 0.005; SJ: p = 0.009). The academic parameters generated the largest difference between groups for science (p = 0.057; ηp2 = 0.164). For all parameters studied, the normal weight group had the highest performance level. In contrast, the overweight group showed the lowest level of academic performance. These findings suggest being overweight or obese are related to science academic performance among schoolchildren in Qatar. Physical education teachers should be cognizant that health promotion interventions improving composition may have the additional potential to improve dimensions of academic performance.
Patient Specific Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Therapy Pathway with Computational Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis
Authors: Mutlu Onur , Yalçın Hüseyin Çağatay
Published: October 2021

Total cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence has risen dramatically from 271 million in 1990 to 523 million in 2019, and CVD fatalities rose gradually from 12.1 million in 1990 to 18.6 million in 2019. According to American Heart Association statistics, annual heart valve procedures in the United States were above 100,000 in 2013, with approximately 50,000 AV replacements. The ideal replacement valve should be durable, resistant to thrombosis, and have excellent hemodynamics features. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been introduced about two decades ago as an alternative for minimally invasive implantation of new generation bioprosthetic heart valves. Computational modeling can be used during therapy planning for the selection of appropriate replacement valves for TAVR. In this NPRP funded project, we are establishing a mechanical and FSI analysis path, for a detailed patient-specific hemodynamics analysis for TAVR, considering the most important parameters affecting TAV efficiency. This approach will enable the choice of the most suitable TAV type and deployment position for the treatment. TAV which is crimped and placed into the catheter by mechanical analysis is deployed in a patient-specific geometry in a virtual treatment then contact pressure and the stress are measured on the aortic root, stent, and aortic leaflets. TAV performance indicators are determined by FSI analysis using coupled ABAQUS and Flow-vision software. With this advanced analysis and simulation path, we expect to estimate accurately the clinical TAVR parameters such as contact pressure, contact area, principal stress, etc. before the operation during therapy planning. This approach will help clinicians in optimal valve selection for TAVR patients.

Published: October 2021

Hypertension is a major risk factor and common comorbidity among severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Prominent antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) can modulate the expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and may influence COVID-19 prognosis. Other classes of antihypertensive drugs, such as beta-blockers (BB) and calcium channel blockers (CCB) are associated with reduced mortality. Still, their effect on the circulating levels of ACE2 and angiotensin II, as well as the severity of COVID-19, are less characterized. Two hundred hypertensive COVID-19 patients on four different classes of antihypertensive medication (ACEi, ARB, BB, and CCB), with different COVID-19 severities (mild, moderate, and severe) were recruited, and clinical data were assessed. Sera-circulating ACE2 and angiotensin II levels were measured using standard ELISA kits. Linear regression models were used to assess the effect of antihypertensive medications on circulating levels of ACE2 and angiotensin II in relation to disease severity and other clinical indices. Included patients were on ACEi (n=57), ARB (n=68), BB (n=15), or CCB (n=30), with mild (n=76), moderate (n=76), or severe (n=52) COVID-19. ACE2 levels were higher in patients with severe COVID-19 than those with mild (p=0.04) and moderate (p=0.007) disease. ACE2 levels correlated positively with the length of hospital stay (r=0.3, p=0.003), while angiotensin II levels decreased with disease severity (p=0.04). Higher ACE2 levels were associated with elevated CRP and D-dimer, while higher angiotensin II levels were associated with lower levels of CRP, D-dimer, and troponin. Among the four treated groups, patients on ARB exhibited elevation in ACE2 levels with increased disease severity (p=0.01), whereas patients on ACEi showed lower angiotensin II levels with increased disease severity. Patients on BB showed the lowest disease severity compared to other treated groups. Our data show increased COVID-19 severity with elevated levels of circulating ACE2 and lower levels of angiotensin II and suggest a protective effect of BB treatment against disease severity in hypertensive patients, independently of ACE2 and angiotensin II levels.

Published: October 2021

Objetivo: describir las prácticas de crianza impartidas a personas Sordas desde la narrativa de dos madres oyentes, sin competencia comunicacional en Lengua de Señas Colombiana. Metodología: investigación fenomenológica de alcance descriptivo. Como técnica de recolección de las narrativas se acudió a la aplicación de una entrevista semiestructurada dirigidas a las madres de las personas Sordas, el análisis de los datos se efectuó por medio de una matriz categorial artesanal donde se sistematizó el discurso de las madres en las diferentes categorías (apoyo afectivo, regulación del comportamiento, relaciones familiares, comunicación). Resultados: las prácticas de crianza ejercidas desde la narrativa de las madres estuvieron mediadas por apoyo afectivo, manifestado a través de estrategias como el juego y las caricias, regulación del comportamiento orientado por estrategias como el refuerzo – castigo, relaciones familiares orientadas a favorecer espacios de integración en el entorno familiar, espacios que no se percibieron como acciones favorables para el desarrollo de la seguridad personal y confianza en sus hijos. En esta comunicación emergieron estrategias no verbales (signos o lenguaje no verbal) las cuales se ajustaban de acuerdo a la capacidad auditiva del menor. Conclusiones: las prácticas de crianza narradas por las madres no están muy alejadas de las acciones que normalmente ejercen los padres de hijos oyentes, pues sus prácticas están mediadas por un amor filial, vínculo salutífero, creatividad, recursividad y acompañamiento. No obstante, se resalta la importancia que tiene el aprendizaje del Lenguaje de Señas como lengua materna para la formación consciente y argumentada de los niños y las niñas, para el adecuado reconocimiento de su cultura Sorda y para su apropiada inclusión social.

Kur’an’ın Anlaşılmasında Odak Konu ve Kavram: Tevhid
Authors: DEMİRKOL Nihat , YILMAZ Hasan
Published: October 2021

Kur’an, insanlığın dünya ve ahiret saadetini ilgilendiren ilahi yasalar bütünüdür. Kur’an, evrensel bir kitap olduğu gibi, ilahi hitabın insanlığa son mirasıdır. Bu bağlamda Kur’an, insan hayatının her safhası için belirleyici ilkeler koymuş ve toplumu da bu ilkeler üzerine bina etmiştir. Son ilahi hitab olan Kur’an’ın en önemli ilkesi ise tevhiddir. Bu çalışmamız ise tevhidin Kur’an’a sistematik bir şekilde nasıl serpiştirildiğini ortaya koymaya yöneliktir. Bu bağlam da tevhid, Kur’an’ın odak konusu ve kavramı olmaktadır. “Tevhid” şeklinde Kur’an’da yer almamasına rağmen, nasların verdiği mesajlar tevhid ilkesinin etrafında şekil almaktadır. Kelime olarak Allah’ın birliğini ifade eden tevhid kavramı, semantik olarak da naslara etki etmektedir. Zira ayet pasajlarının içindeki bazı odak kavramlar tevhid olarak yorumlanmıştır. Tevhidin diğer amellere anlam ve değer katmasının yanında, Kur’an tevhidin karşıt anlamlısı olan şirk kavramı üzerinden de insanları uyararak tevhide yönlendirmektedir. Müfessir ve müellifler tarafından Kur’an’ın ana konuları tasnif edilirken, ilk zikredilen konunun tevhid olmasının yanı sıra, tarih boyunca bütün peygamberlerin ümmetlerine yaptıkları ilk davet de tevhid ilkesidir. Dolayısıyla tevhidin sistematik tasniflerde ve ilahi davette ana tema olması dikkate değer bir husustur. Makalede nasların mesajına şekil veren tevhid ilkesinin, diğer amellere anlam ve değer katmasının da analizini yapmaya çalıştık. Çalışmamızda hedeflenen bir diğer tema ise müfessirler tarafından tevhid olarak yorumlanan bazı kavramları tespit edilerek, tevhidin odak konu ve kavram olduğuna yönelik anlambilimsel bir mana örgüsünü oluşturmaya çalışmamızdır.

The Perception of Automation Reliability and Acceptance of Automated Advice
Authors: Hutchinson Jack , Strickland Luke Joseph Gough , Farrell Simon , Loft Shayne
Published: October 2021

Objective: Examine (1) the extent to which humans can accurately estimate automation reliability and calibrate to changes in reliability, and how this is impacted by the recent accuracy of automation; and (2) factors that impact the acceptance of automated advice, including true automation reliability, reliability perception, and the difference between an operator’s perception of automation reliability and perception of their own reliability. Background: Existing evidence suggests humans can adapt to changes in automation reliability but generally underestimate reliability. Cognitive science indicates that humans heavily weight evidence from more recent experiences. Method: Participants monitored the behavior of maritime vessels (contacts) in order to classify them, and then received advice from automation regarding classification. Participants were assigned to either an initially high (90%) or low (60%) automation reliability condition. After some time, reliability switched to 75% in both conditions. Results: Participants initially underestimated automation reliability. After the change in true reliability, estimates in both conditions moved towards the common true reliability, but did not reach it. There were recency effects, with lower future reliability estimates immediately following incorrect automation advice. With lower initial reliability, automation acceptance rates tracked true reliability more closely than perceived reliability. A positive difference between participant assessments of the reliability of automation and their own reliability predicted greater automation acceptance. Conclusion: Humans underestimate the reliability of automation, and we have demonstrated several critical factors that impact the perception of automation reliability and automation use. Application: The findings have potential implications for training and adaptive human-automation teaming.

Beliefs about Human-Nature Relationships and Implications for Investment and Stewardship surrounding Land-Water System Conservation
Authors: Coley John , Betz Nicole , Helmuth Brian , Ellenbogen Keith , Scyphers Steven , Adams Daniel
Published: October 2021

When engaging stakeholders in environmental conservation, it is critical to understand not only their group-level needs but also the individually held beliefs that contribute to each person’s decisions to endorse or reject policies. To this end, we examined the extent to which people conceptualize the interconnected relationship between humans and nature in the context of a hypothetical urban waterway, and the implications thereof for environmental investment and stewardship. We also explored how these beliefs varied based on describing the waterway as having either local or global impacts, and as originating either naturally or through artificial processes. Three hundred and seventy-nine United States adults read vignettes about a polluted urban waterway that varied by these descriptions and thereafter reported their investment in river clean-up, their stewardship of the river, and their beliefs surrounding human-nature relationships. Results revealed a common belief pattern whereby humans were believed to impact the urban river disproportionately more than the river impacts humans, suggesting that lay adults often weigh the impacts of humans on the natural world disproportionally. Critically, this disproportionate pattern of thinking inversely predicted investment of time and money in river clean-up. Results also revealed a potential solution to this psychological bias; highlighting local benefits of the waterway decreased the asymmetry of the human-nature relationship. We discuss the psychological factors contributing to this cognitive bias, and the implications of these findings on stakeholder engagement.

On climate anxiety and the threat it may pose to daily life functioning and adaptation: A study among European and African French-speaking participants
Authors: Heeren Alexandre , Mouguiama-Daouda Camille , Contreras Alba
Published: October 2021

The notion of climate anxiety has gained traction in the last years. Yet uncertainty remains regarding the variations of climate anxiety across demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age) and its associations with adaptive (i.e., pro-environmental) behaviors. Moreover, the point-estimate proportion of people frequently experiencing climate anxiety has seldom been probed. In this study, we assessed climate anxiety (including its related functional impairments), along with demographic characteristics, climate change experience, and pro-environmental behaviors, in 2,080 French-speaking participants from eight African and European countries. 11.64% of the participants reported experiencing climate anxiety frequently, and 20.72% reported experiencing daily life functional consequences (e.g., impact on the ability to go to work or socialize). Women and younger people exhibited significantly higher levels of climate anxiety. There was no difference between participants from African and European countries, although the sample size of the former was limited, thus precluding any definite conclusion regarding potential geographic differences. Concerning adaptation, climate anxiety was associated with pro-environmental behaviors. However, this association was significantly weaker in people reporting frequent experiences of climate anxiety (i.e., eco-paralysis) than in those with lower levels. Although this observation needs to be confirmed in longitudinal and experimental research, our results suggest that climate anxiety can impede daily life functioning and adaptation to climate change in many people, thus deserving a careful audit by the scientific community and practitioners.
Recall Initiation Instructions Influence How Space and Time Interact in Memory

Recent work has examined, but still little is known about, how space and time interact during memory search. Here, we present the results of two experiments in which participants completed two immediate free recall tasks, a verbal task involving words presented at a central location and a spatial task involving squares presented at different locations. Some participants were allowed to recall the words or locations spontaneously in any order they wished. But critically, to assess the degree to which the influence of space and time are under cognitive control, other participants were subtly biased toward temporal information, with an instruction to begin recall from the last presented item before recalling the rest of the items in any order they wished. Replicating recent work, all conditions showed clear evidence that recall was organized along both the temporal and the spatial dimensions. Extending this work, we found that the subtle change of recall instructions increased the reliance on temporal information in the spatial recall task. A set of correlational analyses suggest that spatial and temporal information do not compete when participants search memory spontaneously but do compete when instructions favor temporal information. These findings expand our understanding of how associative dimensions interact in memory and provide an important target for future theoretical modeling.
Mind-wandering in larks and owls: The effects of chronotype and time of day on the frequency of task-unrelated thoughts
Authors: Van Opstal Filip , Aslanov Vlada , Schnelzer Sophia
Published: October 2021

People differ in their optimal time of day to perform a cognitive task: Morning people (“larks”) perform better in the morning compared to the evening, and the reversed is true for evening people (“owls”). This synchrony effect has been observed for executive functions, such as inhibitory control. Participants performing the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) make more commission errors at their non-optimal time of day. Because mind-wandering (MW) has been related to the executive system, we here investigated a synchrony effect in the frequency of MW. After determining the participants’ chronotype (n = 130), they completed an online version of the SART twice, once in the morning and once in the evening. MW was subjectively measured using a probe-caught method. Results showed that “larks” mind-wandered more often in the evening than the morning session. In contrast, “owls” showed the opposite profile. Objective markers for MW (i.e., accuracy and reaction time coefficient of variance) confirmed these results. Furthermore, in line with earlier suggestions, the frequency of MW was also directly related to the number of hours slept the night before the experiment, and an overall higher frequency of MW was observed for evening chronotypes. The results of this study provide clear evidence for the relation between sleep-related factors and MW, and raises the importance of accounting for chronotype differences when scheduling work and academic activities.
Gendered Subaltern in Abhi Subedi’s Dreams of Peach Blossoms
Authors: Niraula Sanjeev
Published: October 2021

This paper examines the consciousness of gendered subaltern in Abhi Subedi’s poetic play Dreams of Peach Blossoms and looks at how Subedi deconstructs the existing historiography to bring forth the issue of gendered subaltern who have been subjected to the hegemony of the ruling class. Drawing on insights and postulations from Subaltern Studies theorists such as Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Partha Chatterjee, Gautam Bhadra and others, this paper examines the pain and agonies of female characters that are glossed over in the grand narrative of the mainstream culture. This paper concludes that while exploring the painful experience of women erased from the pages of history, Subedi is focused on the Maiju culture that began since Bhrikuti’s marriage to a Tibetan King in the sixth century and reveals the injustice of patriarchy against women with an aim to make correction in such distortions of history.

The water is polluted as a result of the presence of foreign substances, whether organic or inorganic. These substances spoil the water quality, which is what happens to the Tigris River. These waste products pollute the waters of the Tigris River, harmful to human health, causing diseases, and among these diseases is an amoeba, whose data represented by the numbers of people infected with the disease were taken on both sides of Karkh and Rusafa in Baghdad for the year 2018 as a dependent variable (Y) in a complete series (12) month. The concentrations of water pollutants were taken on the number of cases of the disease. Seven pollutant concentrations were relied upon, which represent the explanatory variables (Xi), which represent cross-sectional data for ten stations located on the banks of the Tigris River on both sides of Karkh and Rusafa. Because of dealing with cross-sections and time series, Panel data is the best name for it. We used parametric and non-parametric Panel data models with several non-parametric estimators, which are the Nadaria Watson weighted estimator and the Nadaria Watson unweighted estimator to determine which of the estimators is the most efficient that gives the best model, and the number of recorded injuries In hospitals and health centers on both sides of Karkh and Rusafa, which suffer from the problem of heterogeneity of variance, and that the variables of pollutant concentrations suffer from the problem of autocorrelation, and that the appropriate parametric model is the random effect model for the panel data according to the Houseman test.

Published: October 2021

Beginning in 1995, Qatar underwent a major transformation in its foreign policy, adopting an independent and neutral foreign policy as a result of being located in an important vital, geopolitical and economic region, with tensions between the influential regional powers. Given the importance of mediation in resolving disputes and bringing peace to a region raging in conflict, Qatar adopted a foreign policy approach of dialogue, good offices, mediation, and preventive diplomacy, and worked to settle disputes and crises peacefully, remaining impartial and independent, in accordance with the provisions of international law and the Charter of the United Nations. This study explores Qatar policy and experience in mediation and dispute settlement and highlights its active role and contribution over the past twenty years, by clarifying the features of its foreign policy, strategy, and principles, and highlighting case studies of previous Qatari mediation.

Authors: Shakeel Muhammad , Cooper Fergus
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Evaluating vocal cord mobility is important both before and after thyroid surgery but can result in excess hospital appointments which is unfavorable in the current COVID-19 era. Aim: To describe and demonstrate a successful adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic using a portable and disposable flexible laryngoscope for vocal cord assessment before and after thyroidectomy. Methods: A description of practice over a 6-month period where the described adapted method was used for 26 thyroidectomy cases. Results: Assessment of vocal cord mobility was performed in all cases with the portable disposable flexible laryngoscope without any issue and no adverse events were encountered. Conclusion: The authors advocate the use of a portable disposable flexible laryngoscope used twice for each patient pre- and postoperatively in thyroid surgery for perioperative vocal cord checks due to the significant advantages in practicality, efficiency and safety; particularly during the covid-19 pandemic.
