The design of optical non-reciprocal abnormal transmission based on PT asymmetric system
Authors: Yu Guanxia , Zhang Xiaomeng , Shen Yun , Wang Haodong , Shen Yu , Yuan Guangyao
Published: March 2022

In this paper, we present non-reciprocal transmission in a composite PT-asymmetric ternary system consisting of two magneto-optical structures with opposite magnetic fields. Two schemes to realize PT-symmetry breaking are proposed to realize abnormal transmission in asymmetric multilayers with small gain/loss factors. One method is to adjust the parameter of magnetic fields applied on the magnetic-optical layers, and the other method is to adjust positions of gain and loss layers. The PT-symmetry breaking system can realize the abnormal and non-reciprocal transmission with small gain/loss factors with more practical applications in integrated photonics, communications and other fields.
The inclusion of youth with lived experience of homelessness in emerging networked publics: Challenges in online storytelling and allyship
Authors: Lloyd-Smith Jamie
Published: March 2022

There has been considerable debate over the extent to which vulnerable and diverse populations are politically involved in decision-making. Specifically in Canada’s homelessness sector, there is a macro-level push to include individuals with lived experience of homelessness in the policymaking process. This research paper will explore the ways in which youth with lived experience of homelessness and their allies are engaging in online forms of activism and storytelling, and ultimately examine this interaction under the idea that media is both a practice and an imaginary. This study situates this argument in the wide critique of Jürgen Habermas’ exclusionary public sphere. Instead, this paper examines the emerging concepts of “affective publics” and “networked publics” to understand how online marginalized voices are only empowered to the extent to which they perform in mediated spaces to gain visibility. By drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s articulation of social capital, this study examines recent examples of Canadian organizations amplifying youth voices on Instagram to interrogate some of the implications that arise in online allyship and storytelling.

The role of thyroglobulin doubling time in differentiated thyroid cancer: a meta-analysis
Authors: Giovanella Luca , Garo Maria Luisa , Albano Domenico , Görges Rainer , Ceriani Luca
Published: March 2022

Objective

In patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), recurrences may occur in up to 20% and may have a fatal outcome in 10% of cases. Thyroglobulin doubling time (Tg-DT) values may contribute to predict response to treatment and disease recurrence in DTC patients. This study aimed to address the following questions: (1) Are Tg-DT values indicative of response to treatments in patients with DTC (i.e. ’treatment monitoring’)?; (2) Is Tg-DT predictive of 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-[18F]FDG) PET/CT in patients with DTC?; (3) Are Tg-DT values predictive of DTC prognosis (i.e. ‘prediction’)?

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

Methodology was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42021257947). A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Web Of Science, and Scopus from June to August 2021 without time and language restrictions.

Results

Eleven studies were included for a total of 1421 patients. Positive association between Tg-DT < 1 year and recurrence or disease progression was observed. Tg-DT was found to be related with (2-[18F]FDG) PET/CT results in patients with DTC. The area under the curve was 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83–0.89), sensitivity was 0.84 (0.64;0.94), specificity was 0.71 (0.35; 0.92), DOR was 13.1 (3.1; 55.0), LR+ was 2.9 (1.0; 8.1), LR− was 0.22 (0.1; 0.5). For patients with Tg-DT < 1 year (n  = 247), the survival risk ratio was 2.09 (95% CI: 1.49; 2.94).

Conclusions

Tg-DT values are valuable in predicting response to treatment and disease recurrence in patients with DTC, as well as their overall survival. In addition, Tg-DT significantly increases the detection rate of 2-[18F]-FDG PET/CT.
“A СANDLE IS BURNING IN MY BOAT…”: THE IMAGE OF THE RIVER IN THE «THE TRAVEL NOTES» OF ARCHBISHOP NIL (N. F. ISAKOVICH)
Authors: Melnikova Sofya
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to studying the travel prose of the Orthodox clergy in the 19th century as a phenomenon of the Siberian regional literature and one of the classical versions of the “Siberian text.” The boundaries of the “Siberian text” in Russian literature are defined by the characteristics of regional identity, which is reflected in this text and is shaped by the Siberian geographical space. The hypothesis of the importance of the river image — as the most obvious space-time coordinate — in Siberian literature is put forward. The specifics of the representation of this image in the works of the clergy are examined on the example of “Travel Notes” by Nil (Isakovich), Archbishop of Irkutsk (1838–1853). The notes recount missionary journey along the Lena and other rivers in its basin in the summer of 1843. Archbishop Nil constructs the image of the river as a multi-faceted model of human interaction with space — in the context of a Christian worldview, as well as personal and cultural memory. This model is revealed in historical, emotional-psychological, mythopoetic and ontological terms in relation to the categories of chaos and cosmos, border and transition, existential solitude and spiritual transformation. The author's intention is aimed at overcoming the prehistoric pagan essence of the river in the traveler's mind through its aestheticization, conceptualization and sacralization as a space of meeting with the Creator. This correlates with the genre strategy of the Christian pilgrimage. The image of the river recreates a dynamic image of all of Siberia — ancient, steeped in primeval chaos, pagan and mythological in its essence, but open to Christian transfiguration and rebirth. The significance of Archbishop Nil's travel notes, and clergy travelogues in general, in the history of Russian literature is determined by the fact that the Siberian space is reflected in their writings in its spiritual dimension. This approach, in turn, makes it possible to present the process of Siberian exploration in its ontological and axiological essence — as an incorporation into the Russian national consciousness, Christian in its basis.

Hubungan Antar Umat Beragama (Studi Kritis Metodologi Penafsiran Tekstual)
Authors: Taufik Ahmad
Published: March 2022

The textual interpretation of the Qur’an has been considered as the most valid and authoritative method in interpreting the Qur’an. However, this method has many weaknesses because it can produce intolerant and exclusive religious attitude. Therefore, an interpreter needs to consider not only the analysis of the text of the Qur’an but also its context of revelation. This statement is proven by analyzing the interpretation of Nasir al-Sa’di on inter religious relation. The data is first analyzed using the thematic approach. This approach is used to collect verses related to interreligious relation. In the next step, this interpretation is analyzed by contextual approach as proposed by Abdullah Saeed.

Takwil As-Sirāṭ Al-Mustaqīm dalam Pembacaan Tafsir Mulla Sadra
Authors: Khair Nurul , Ar Ridho Ahmed Zaranggi , Salsabila Siti Hadaynayah
Published: March 2022

This paper is a literature review of Mullā Ṣadrā's thoughts on takwil as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm which is studied through his main work, entitled Tafsīr Al-Qur'ān Al-Karīm. By using the descriptive-analytical method, the conclusion is that takwil as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm in Mullā Ṣadrā's view is studied through two approaches, namely the text analysis method and mukāshafah as a process of knowing the true meaning of the term as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm. In discourse, it is known that the commentators are divided into two views, namely the historical view which examines the term as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm based on textual narrations and the view of ijtihad based on rationality. The implication of these two views is to limit the meaning and essence of the term as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm based on historical and intellectual references. In order to overcome these problems, this paper aims to explain the nature and meaning of as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm based on Mullā Ṣadrā's takwil by mediating historical and rational views. The result of this paper is to offer a new perspective on understanding the terms of the Qur’an transcendentally so that each individual can clearly understand the meanings and nature of as-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm.

Authors: Anefalos de Oliveira Yasmin , Barcellos Pinheiro Machado Denise
Published: March 2022

Este artigo retrata a invisibilidade social e espacial no caso do Aterro Metropolitano de Jardim Gramacho (AMJG), localizado em Duque de Caxias (RJ), Brasil. Tem como objetivo relacionar os agentes responsáveis pelo processo de invisibilidade social e espacial do AMJG. Especificamente, pretende-se analisar os efeitos de seu funcionamento no território. A partir de análises empíricas e documentais, foram identificadas injustiças ambientais e ‘negligências urbanísticas’ por parte de agentes públicos, privados e do mercado imobiliário em todo o processo de implantação, funcionamento e encerramento do AMJG. Mesmo com a repercussão internacional deste caso extremo, constatou-se que não foram implementadas soluções efetivas para minimizar aspectos de exclusão social, pobreza e contaminação até hoje. Desta forma, as contribuições deste artigo evidenciam a omissão dos agentes responsáveis pela atual situação de degradação ambiental, precariedade e insalubridade, e alertam sobre a necessidade de desenvolver planos eficazes para a recuperação adequada da área.
Territorialidad campesina: ausente en proyectos políticos para el Oriente antioqueño.
Authors: Pineda Gómez Hernan Dario
Published: March 2022

Este artículo examina las funcionalidades trazadas para el espacio rural del Oriente antioqueño en los proyectos políticos de intervención territorial desplegados en los últimos 20 años, a partir de un enfoque teórico-metodológico de los estudios territoriales. Para ello, se realiza una aproximación a las apuestas políticas en una escala supramunicipal, a sus enfoques y a las funcionalidades asignadas a fragmentos de este espacio geográfico; finalmente, se enfatiza en los cambios y tensiones producidos. En esta subregión, altamente afectada por el conflicto armado en los años 80 y 90, se implementan hoy una serie de apuestas con visión de largo plazo, que tejen múltiples formas de recorte territorial, divisiones que no reconocen la territorialidad campesina ni sus vínculos con el territorio. Como resultado, la superación del conflicto armado ha significado una profundización de un modelo centrado en la agroindustria, el extractivismo energético, los servicios ecosistémicos y lo que oferta la subregión. Esto ha derivado en una fragmentación a partir de una funcionalidad económica, que tiene como efecto la negación directa o indirecta de un sujeto campesino, sus prácticas y saberes, así como sus formas de intervenir el territorio.

Prenatal Ultrasound Signs of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome in Monochorionic Twins: Case Study
Authors: Normuradova Nodira M. , Khujakulov Odil A. , Ergasheva Mahliyo Sh. , Ollanazarov Eshdavlat R. , Majidov Bekhruz B.
Published: March 2022

Background. Cornelia de Lange syndrome is rare genetic disease manifested by short stature, limb abnormalities, craniofacial dysmorphies, and developmental delay. Syndrome prenatal detection is crucial during ultrasound diagnosis.

Clinical case description. Growth delay of both children (body weight indicators were less than the 1st percentile) without any pathological changes in utero-fetoplacental perfusion (according to Doppler) was revealed during the ultrasound examination of monochorial twins in the II trimester of pregnancy. Hydramnious was noted. Fetal echocardiography has revealed transposition of main arteries in the first intrauterine child. Examination of fetus facial structures has shown nose bridge depression, upturned nose, elongated filter, and micrognathy. Second child has shown features of heterotypic abnormalities of upper limbs. One forearm bone was missing on the left side, presumably ulnar, the radial bone was shortened, and there was oligodactyly (only 2 fingers were visualized). There was no digitus annularis on the right hand, and there was clinodactyly of the fifth finger. Genetic testing was not performed due to the inaccessibility of this method in the country of residence and the financial limitations of the family to perform it elsewhere. Male twins were born prematurely on 35th week of pregnancy with weight of 1680 and 1640 (body weight indicators were less than the 5th percentile). Babies were consulted by the geneticist after birth, clinical diagnosis of Cornelia de Lange syndrome was established. The child with heart defect died on the 23rd day of his life, the second was discharged in satisfactory condition.

Conclusion. Cornelia de Lange syndrome may manifest in monochorionic twins. The diagnosis of intrauterine growth delay in the II-III trimesters of pregnancy, without impaired uterofeto-placental perfusion, especially associated with hydramnious, requires searching for structural abnormalities and examination of facial dysmorphies specific for chromosomal or genetic diseases.

Authors: Kadapure Santosh Ashok , Kadapure Poonam , Nandi Santosh , Shet Anil
Published: March 2022

Globally there is a quantum rise in production of biodiesel due to its ability to mitigate greenhouse gases. However, the production of biodiesel faces a major hurdle in obtaining high purity and easy separation of the main product from glycerol. Researchers worldwide are focusing on finding new sophisticated materials that may help to develop a sustainable eco-efficient process. Only a limited number of review articles have been published that cover the use of a catalyst and co-solvent for easy separation of biodiesel from glycerol. In this paper, assessment of various catalysts (homogeneous and heterogeneous), ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents (green solvents) for biodiesel production is reviewed. This will help researchers to find an excellent combination and economic feasibility for biodiesel manufacturing meeting environmental standards. This will provide a solid background for future research.

Authors: IŞIK Şaziye Melike , KARACAN GÖLEN Meltem , YILMAZ OKUYAN Dilek
Published: March 2022

Aim: One of the most common neurologic symptoms observed in COVID-19 is headache. The pathogenesis of this headache is still not clearly defined. In our study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between headache observed in patients with COVID-19 and the C-reactive protein CRP/lymphocyte ratio, an indicator of inflammation.

Material and Method: The demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of patients followed up with a diagnosis of COVID-19 were recorded. The clinical and laboratory findings of patients with and without headache were compared.

Results: A total of 106 patients were included in the study. The mean age of all patients was 60.81 ± 15.03 years and 50.9% were male. The mean age of the patient group with headache (57.77 ± 15.42 years) was significantly lower than the mean age of the group without headache (64.22 ± 13.95 years) (p=0.027). The smoking rate was also higher in this group (p=0.003). Smell and taste disorders were also found to be significantly higher in patients with headache compared with patients without headache (p=0.003).

Perceptions of Intern Nurses Regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: A Qualitative Study
Authors: GÖKDERE ÇİNAR Hava , YILMAZ Dilek , YILMAZ Hülya
Published: March 2022

Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the individual and professional lives of all people, especially health professionals. For this reason, this study aimed to qualitatively determine the perceptions of intern nurses regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Method: This phenomenological study was conducted with intern students receiving education at the final year of the nursing department of a state university in the Marmara Region of Turkey between November 1, 2020, and January 15, 2021. An in-depth face-to-face interview method was used in the study. In the interviews, four semi-structured interview questions developed by the researchers were asked to the participants; the answers were audio-recorded and the interviews were analyzed by the researchers. Main themes and sub-themes were generated with the codes obtained in the analysis.

Results: As a result of the data analysis, three main themes, seven sub-themes, and twenty-four codes were determined for the perceptions of the participants regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It was determined that many factors affected intern nurses’ daily lives negatively and positively during the pandemic process and that participants resorted to some physical, psychological, and social methods to cope with the pandemic process. A group of intern nurses who performed clinical practice during the pandemic stated that this process had a positive effect on their individual development, their approach to patients, and their professional attitudes. Nevertheless, another group stated that their professional commitment decreased, that they felt worried and worthless, and that they avoided participating in the practices.

Conclusion: It was determined that intern nurses, the closest group to the nursing profession, were affected by the pandemic process in many positive and negative aspects, that their professional perceptions changed due to their concerns about the current situation and future, and that they used different techniques that supported and restrained their development in coping with the process. Educational institutions are recommended to provide motivation, counseling, and psychological support programs in order for student nurses to be able to manage their concerns, negative affections, and changing professional perceptions.
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Colistin Therapy with or without Loading Dose in the Treatment of Multi Drug Resistant Gram-negative Bacterial Infections
Authors: DİNDAR DEMİRAY Emine Kübra , SENOL Sebnem
Published: March 2022

Aim: Colistin (Col) is an agent used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant gram-negative (MDRGN) bacterial infections. This drug has been administered with a loading dose in recent years to provide rapid clinical response and therapeutic blood levels. In our study, we aimed to evaluate whether there is a relationship between the efficacy of the loading dose of Col treatment, mortality, microbiological clearance during treatment, nephrotoxicity, and neurotoxicity side effects for the treatment of MDRGN bacterial infections.
Material method: In this retrospective study, which included a control group, 6-years data was analyzed. Totally, 323 patients who received Col treatment with or without loading dose (LD) were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups; I: without Col-LD regimen (those who were hospitalized in 2011-2014), II: with Col-LD regimen (those who were hospitalized in 2015-2017). Demographic characteristics such as age, gender, microbiological cultures, laboratory results, side effects, and mortality of the patients were evaluated.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was found between with Col-LD regimen and nephrotoxicity. However, it was determined that there was no statistically significant relationship between microbiological clearance without a Col-LD regimen. Nephrotoxicity was found to be decreased with the Col-LD regimen. Neurotoxicity was observed more frequently (3.7%) in with Col-LD regimen. Initial and final C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels were statistically significantly lower in with Col-LD regimen.
Conclusion: It was found that with Col-LD regimen had a statistically significant effect on nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and treatment outcome, but had no effect on microbiological clearance. In addition, with Col-LD regimen was effective in decreasing CRP and PCT values.

Background: Dysphagia is a life-threatening symptom. The present study aims to evaluate the swallowing function and dysphagia status of MS patients and to find factors that may cause dysphagia. Also, to bring attention to the importance of the early dysphagia examination in MS patients.

Methods: A total of 30 MS patients who applied to the neurology clinic of Mustafa Kemal University were included in the study. Dysphagia was evaluated using GUSS (Gugging Swallowing Screen) test for quantitative evaluation of swallowing function. Demographic data (age, gender) of all patients were recorded. Disease duration, if present dysphagia duration, MS type, and Kurtzke's Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) indicating the patient's level of disability was all recorded.

Results: According to the GUSS test classification; while 14 patients had mild dysphagia, the remaining 16 patients did not reveal any dysphagia or aspiration risk. We found a weak correlation between EDSS and GUSS(r=-0.227), and between EDSS and Subjective Duration of Dysphagia (r=-0.227). There was a moderate and negative correlation between GUSS and duration of disease (-0.543), GUSS, and teeth status (r=-0.535) but a weak correlation between GUSS and age; GUSS and duration of dysphagia. There was a significant difference in teeth status and GUSS score

Conclusion: As a result, individuals with MS may have swallowing dysfunction due to different conditions, so these patients should be evaluated closely in terms of swallowing function from the early stages of the disease immediately upon diagnosis. Thus, serious problems related to aspiration can be prevented.
Çocukluk Çağı Primer ve Sekonder Baş Ağrılarında Tanı ve Ayırıcı Tanı Özelliklerinin Yapılandırılmış Öykü ile Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: İNCE Hülya

Amaç: Çocuklarda sık görülen baş ağrısında aile ve klinisyen açısından önemli olan öncelikle primer ve sekonder baş ağrısı ayırımının yapılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, anket şeklinde hazırlanan yapılandırılmış sorularla primer baş ağrısı özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2015 ile Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında baş ağrısı yakınmasıyla çocuk nöroloji polikliniğinde değerlendirilen ve “Baş Ağrısı Bozukluğunun Uluslararası Sınıflaması (3. Baskı-beta versiyonu)” kriterleri temel alınarak migren ve gerilim tipi baş ağrısı (GTBA) tanısı konulan hastalar çalışmaya alındı ve veriler retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 1498 hastanın %94,8'i migren, %5.2'i GTBA tanısı aldı ve yaşları 37 ile 216 ay arasındaydı. Grup 1'de 847 kız (%59.6), 573 (%40.4) erkek hasta migren tanısıyla, Grup 2'de 37 kız (%47.4), 41 (%52.6) erkek hasta GTBA tanısıyla değerlendirildi. Migren hastalarında; ağrının farklı bölgelerde başladığı ve yayıldığı, değişik ortamlarda görüldüğü, zamanla şiddet ve sıklığının arttığı, kızlarda ve büyük yaşlarda görüldüğü, ağrı kesici alma oranının yüksek olduğu, ağrı tetikleyicilerin çok olduğu, etkinlikle arttığı, baş dönmesi ve ailede depresyon varlığının önemli olduğu bulundu. GTBA hastalarında ise; ilk üç ayda hastaneye başvurdukları, tek tip baş ağrısının olduğu, yayılmadığı ve daha çok evde tekrarladığı, zamanla şiddet ve sıklığında değişiklik olmayan hafif bir ağrı olduğu ve erkeklerde küçük yaşlarda daha fazla görüldüğü saptandı. Atak sıklığı, ağrının oluş saati ve lokalizasyonu benzer bulundu.

Sonuç: Ciddi hastalık endişesi oluşturan baş ağrısı, geniş zaman diliminde ayrıntılı değerlendirmeyi gerektirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, fazla iş yükü nedeniyle yeterli zaman ayırılamayan durumlarda, yapılandırılmış sorular ile hastaların optimal değerlendirilebileceği, primer ve sekonder baş ağrısı ayırımının yapılabileceği vurgulanmak istenmiştir.

Published: March 2022

The results of a study on the use of sawdust of common pine Pinus sylvestris L. with their preliminary activation in a cavitation water-impact dispersant for 25 minutes as a substrate for cultivating the Gl4–16A strain of Ganoderma lucidum are presented. It was found that the Gl4–16A strain of Ganoderma lucidum colonizes the substrate more efficiently with the introduction of (NH4)2SO4 and Na2HPO4 salts into its composition. At the same time, the average growth rate of basidiomycete on the substrate without the introduction of salts was 1.39±0.53 mm/day, and on the substrate with nitrogen salts – 3.22±0.48 mm/day, and complete fouling of the substrate occurred on day 13. It was found that during the cultivation of the Gl4–16A strain of Ganoderma lucidum on a substrate with nitrogen salts, the content of extractive substances in it increases from 4.37 % to 6.32 %, where more than 65 % is accounted for by substances extracted with water. There is a decrease in the content of difficult-to-hydrolyze polysaccharides by 13.3 %, and an increase in the non-hydrolyzable part by 2.4 %, which is 6.8 % per organic mass. The content of easily hydrolyzable polysaccharides (LGA) decreases by 2.4 %, but this change is not significant in terms of organic mass and the share of LGA both before and after bioconversion is about 15.7 %. The obtained data can expand the field of use of sawdust, which is a promising direction, both in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries

On the southern periphery of Badzhal Mountain Range on, an area of about 25 sq. km, we found 313 species of mosses, listed here with distribution along with the altitudinal belts, ecotopes, and substrates. Among them, 73 species are newly recorded for the middle part of Khabarovsk Territory, and 39 of them are new to the whole Khabarovsk Territory, including rare species with no or few previously known records in Russia such as Campylopus gracilis, Sematophyllum substrumulosum, Anomodon solovjovii, Bryoerythrophyllum chenii, Dicranum setifolium, Ditrichum macrorhynchum, Haplohymenium longinerve, Okamurea hakkoniensis, Orthotrichum rogeri, Sphagnum miyabeanum, S. subnitens; identity of several species needs in specially focused taxonomic studies. Studied flora is compared with ones of Zeysky State Nature Reserve, Upper Bureya, and a combined list of mosses of Botchinsky Nature Reserve and Tordoki-Yani Mt. Among all these floras, the proportion of Eastern species in Badzhal is the highest. Main types of vegetation and bryophyte ecotopes are briefly characterized; distribution of species along an altitudinal gradient among considered types of habitats and substrates, is discussed.

Central dogma units comprise of DNA, RNA and synthesis of protein. Reproductive cycle in fishes is always dynamic and the units of central dogma are always changing in different phases of testicular and ovarian cycle which constitute reproductive cycle in fishes. The adult specimens of Mystus (M.) vittatus, a tropical siluroid, when exposed for 30 days to sublethal concentration of trivalent arsenic (11.24 mg/I) revealed significant decline in DNA, RNA and consequently protein in the ovary of Mystus (M.) vittatus during its preparatory phase. However, 15 days exposure revealed less significant alterations. Causes for declining in various units of central dogma and consequently protein synthesis is discussed in this paper.

The objective of this thesis was to investigate the digital outreach strategies used by three museums-The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Mütter Museum of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, and the Woodmere Art Museum- to combat the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The researcher used academic literature to establish a working history of how museums have leveraged emerging technologies to enhance the visitor experience, strengthen engagement with exhibitions, and grow their audience. Current news articles establish the cultural climate during the early stages of the pandemic and revealed rising trends of increased online activity from museums and the general public as lockdowns shuttered non-essential businesses. A multiple case study consisting of qualitative interviews with museum staff, which followed an investigation into the extent of the museums' remote offerings, revealed instances of resourcefulness as well as missed opportunity. Digitization is a necessary practice for museums in the 21st century that ensures visibility, engenders direct communication with the public, improves accessibility, and addresses both financial and sociocultural barriers to arts participation. The researcher concludes that the museums in this study approached the pandemic with a digital mindset, presenting museum content through websites, blogs, and social media, creating videos, activities, and podcasts that the public could enjoy from home. They bolstered their past digital offerings, developed entirely new remote museum activities, shifted in-person programs to an online format, and invested more heavily in their social media presences. The observable results of these practices were higher follower and view counts, expanded geographic reach, and enthusiasm from interviewees about the potential of continuing to offer remote alternatives to their in-person programs. However, interviewees also reported little comprehensive evaluation into the true efficacy of these activities, speaking to both the strain of the pandemic and the corresponding belief that providing access to the arts during times of crisis is mission-driven work. However, keeping up with evaluation practices is no less essential during periods of urgency or strife.

This thesis explores How Does Cross-Generational Management Function: What are the challenges and successes. This paper puts arts organizations' issues in perspective with arts managers of varying generations. Various themes have been compiled based on six qualitative interviews, and similarities and suggestions through stories lead to a strategic take on managing different ages. The themes include Diversity, Arts Management, Human Resource Development/Workplace Knowledge Strategies, Strategies for Managing Five Generations, Generation Characteristics, and Communication in the Workplace. This paper serves as a call to action to provide a better workplace culture for arts managers and staff of varying ages to strategize on successfully co-existing in the same work environment. When we begin to examine arts managers, their business structure, and their level of responsibility, we understand the challenges working against them.
