Renaissance Buried Alive in “The Collar and the Bracelet”
Authors: Elsisi Sayed
Published: March 2022

Through a close reading and interdisciplinary analysis of the 1975 novella al-Tawq wa al-Iswira (The Collar and the Bracelet) by Yahya al-Tahir 'Abdallah and the 1986 cinematic adaptation directed by Khairi Bishara, this article demonstrates how the textual and visual narrations converge and diverge in their representations of the Upper Egyptian village at a point of potential Nahda, or renaissance. It further demonstrates how the novella and the film utilize the image of the circle, alluded to by the titular collar and the bracelet, to uncover and disrupt the circular patterns of oppression that dominate rural life. These patterns of oppression are made manifest through the juxtaposition of binary oppositions: life and death, modernity and tradition, myth and science, and patriarchal structures and the push for increased gender equality. This study examines not only the question of Nahda/renaissance in the novel but also the representation of women and their position within the popular imagery. As this study uses parallel narratives to read Abdullah's works, it traces the link between the representation of women in the novel and other women's representations with a distinct presence in the mythology, literature and the folklore; such as Isis in the ancient Egyptian mythology, and Na'sa in the folkloric story of Ayyoub Al-Masri (the Egyptian Job). Even though it is apparent that men have absolute power and occupy the pinnacle of gender hierarchy power in the rural village of the novel, this article questions the veracity of such a claim. While the novel begins with what seems to be assent to that gender hierarchy, the hierarchy is revealed as false through different contexts: Egyptian mythology, anthropology, folklore, and intertextual reading with other works by Yahya al-Taher and writings of others.
Review of Ussama Makdisi, Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World
Authors: El Kak Nadim
Published: March 2022

The latest book of Lebanese-American historian Ussama Makdisi, Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World, published in 2019 by the University of California Press, contributes to the growing literature on non- or anti-sectarian movements and builds upon the anti-primordialist arguments he formulated in his first book. In The Culture of Sectarianism (2000), Makdisi argued that sectarianism is a distinctly modern phenomenon born largely from the politicization and instrumentalization of religious identities by imperial actors in late nineteenth century Mount Lebanon. In this latest book, he goes a step further by identifying an actual but ignored history of anti-sectarianism in the Levant, during that same time period. In line with the abundant scholarship that unpacks essentialist understandings and stereotypes about the region and its people, Makdisi’s book offers readers a nuanced articulation of the Mashriq’s modern history through the lens of religious coexistence – or what he conceptualizes as the ecumenical frame – avoiding orientalist and defeatist tropes or the romanticization of cross-sectarian dynamics.

Published: March 2022

Tamarind pulp is the most valuable and commonly used part, which is acidic and is mostly used in Indian cuisines. After harvesting the tamarind fruit, it is dried under the open sun or by mechanical methods, which helps separate the outer hull and seeds manually or mechanically. The stickiness of the tamarind fruit is a major problem observed during deseeding, and it is done manually by beating the fruits with sticks. A belt conveyor type dryer was developed to reduce the moisture content of dehulled tamarind fruit to an optimal level for deseeding the fruits. The dehulled tamarind fruit was dried at three different temperatures (50, 60, & 70 oC), three different feed rates (5, 7.5 & 10 kg h-1) with an airflow rate of 1.5 m s-1. The optimized temperature, airflow rate, and feed rate were 60 oC, 1.5 m s-1 and 5 kg h-1, respectively. The moisture content of the tamarind fruit was reduced from 19 (% d.b.) to 11.35 (% d.b.) at the end of the drying process.

A Comparison of Left and Right Leg Static Balance Parameters in Young Handball Players
Authors: ÖZKAMÇI Hüseyin , KARADENIZLI Zeynep İnci , ZİLELİ Raif
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare left and right leg balance parameters in young female handball players.
Methods: 13 athletes (age: 15.07±0.19 years, height: 162.23±5.70 cm, weight: 57.38±4.39 kg, BMI 21.92±0.23 kg/m², training age: 4.23±1.36 years) volunteered for the study. Normality test of the data was done using Shapiro-Wilk test, and variation homogeneity was tested using Levene’s Test of Homogeneity of Variance. When the data showed non-parametric characteristics, Mann Whitney U-Test was used; when it was parametric, Independent Sample Test was used. SPSS 17 Software was used for statistical analysis, and the significance was determined as p≤0.05.
Results: The results showed that when mean speed of left and right leg forward-backward velocity of the athletes was analysed, a significant difference was found in favour of the right leg (p≤0.05). Furthermore, a significant difference was found in favour of the right leg between means of the left and right leg perimeter of the athletes (p≤0.05). However, there found no difference between means of the left and right leg lateral velocity and ellipsis area of the athletes (p≥0.05).
Conclusion: These results may show that due to the training ages of the athletes (4 years), branches of the athletes did not affect the results and their improvement were still in progress. It could also be due to the dominant leg of all the athletes being their right leg and/or due to the differences in their leg strength. The most important limitation of this study could be the fact that leg strength values were not included in the study. Generally, in handball, when the dominant arm of the athlete is their right, the leg at the opposite side is the one used for jumping. Nevertheless, in individual leg balance tests done with both legs, it is expected there be no difference between the values. For these differences not to cause any sport injuries and not to negatively affect the technical move performances, it is advised that coaches have lower extremity strength and balance exercises symmetrically done.

Agriculture is one of the top sectors that help to increase regional development in the Pandeglang regency. Based on this fact, the local government made spatial plans for 201-2031. One of the goals is to maintain the availability of agricultural land in the Pandeglang Regency outside of the LP2B policy. However, along with this policy, the impact of socio-economic in society has not been maximized. This study aims to see how the effect of the regional spatial plans of Pandeglang Regency on the socio-economics of farming communities, especially in Cimanuk District—using qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. The results of this research are that the implementation of the Pandeglang Regency spatial plans is in accordance with the existing objectives but has not been able to maintain the sustainability of the agricultural sector and has not provided a maximum positive impact on the socio-economic of the local community, especially for the farming community in Cimanuk District. This can be seen from the unstable increase in household welfare of the farming community, fluctuating health level, the decrease in the number of unemployed people is still not maximal, etc.

Authors: Гармашов Владимир Михайлович , Говоров Виктор Николаевич , Крячкова Мария Петровна
Published: March 2022

Сельскохозяйственные товаропроизводители проявляют все больший интерес к освоению ресурсосберегающих технологий выращивания сельскохозяйственных культур, в том числе и к нулевой технологии — прямому посеву. Изучены закономерности динамики изменения плотности сложения чернозема обыкновенного при минимизации обработки почвы и прямом посеве в условиях юго-востока ЦЧР. Минимизация обработки чернозема обыкновенного, используемого в классическом зернопропашном севообороте, ведет к уплотнению почвы, но при этом приемы минимизации обработки почвы, в том числе и нулевая обработка, не приводили к увеличению плотности сложения выше диапазона оптимальных значений (1,0 – 1,2 г/см3) для произрастания сельскохозяйственных культур. На основании регрессионного анализа полученных данных установлены трендовые модели динамики изменения плотности сложения чернозема обыкновенного в зернопропашном севообороте, используемого при различной интенсивности обработки и прямом посеве.

In the poultry industry, animal flour is often used, which is prepared from a mixture consisting of the remains of bones, soft tissues and feathers. They are rarely processed separately, especially for feathers, which have a very low digestibility. The technology of short-term high-temperature hydrolysis of feathers in a thin layer leads to the destruction of the keratin structure and increases the availability of its amino acids. This processing method achieves 86–88% of protein digestibility. The efficiency of using this feather meal (PM) in feeding makes it possible to reduce the cost of rations and improve zootechnical indicators.

Most astrophysical objects growth by mass accretion. The almost universal presence of interstellar matter generally leads to the formation around compact objects of accretion disks. The emission of the radiation from the disk is determined by the external gravitational potentials of the central massive object, which in turn are essentially determined by its nature – neutron star, black hole, wormhole or naked singularity. Hence the astrophysical observations of the emission spectra from accretion disks may lead to the possibility of directly testing the physical and astrophysical properties of the compact general relativistic objects that have generated the disk via their gravitational field. The accretion process proceeds due to the viscosity caused by the turbulent motions of matter in the accretion disks. In turn, disks have an important property – luminosity, which today allows indirect observation of astrophysical compact objects. In this work, calculations are performed to determine the Eddington luminosity limit of an accretion disk formed around a massless wormhole. The dependence of the limiting luminosity in the throat region and at infinity on the dilatonic, electric and magnetic charges for the Goulart wormhole was established. An upper limit was also obtained for the dilatonic charge, at which the maximum value of Eddington's luminosity is reached. As a result, it was found that with an increase in the dilatonic charge, the value of the Eddington luminosity limit increases.
DETERMINATION OF TYPES OF FIXING THE ROD BY NATURAL FREQUENCIES OF VIBRATIONS
Authors:   Mavlyutov Institute of Mechanics, Ufa Federal Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Aitbaeva А.А.
Published: March 2022

Rods can be fixed in different ways. In practice, under the influence of external factors, the boundary conditions at the ends of the rod may be violated. Therefore, it is important to solve the problems of determining the type and parameters of fastening the rod. The problem of determining the type of fixing the ends of the rod by the natural frequencies of vibration is considered. It is believed that on the left and right ends of the rod can only be types of fixing: clamped, pinned, roller, free end. Combinations of these fixing of rod give 16 types of boundary conditions: clamped – clamped, clamped – pinned, clamped – roller, clamped – free end, pinned – clamped, pinned – pinned, pinned – roller, pinned – free end, roller – clamped, roller – pinned, roller – roller, roller – free end, free end – clamped, free end – pinned, free end – roller, free end – free end. It is shown that by one eigen frequency of vibration of the rod and knowing the presence of the «zero» eigen frequency, it is possible to restore the type of fixing at the ends of the rod. The «zero» eigen frequency is the zero eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. The use of the first natural frequency is due to a smaller error in solving the problem.

In our recent work examining which sources of cognitive conflict best accounted for age-related difficulty with ToM (Rahman et al., 2021*), we employed the AQ-10 to screen for suspected autism. In line with work subsequent to Allison et al. (2012; Booth et al., 2013) and with original clinical guidance (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2021), we used a cut-off of ≥7. New guidance produced since publication, however, suggests a cut-off of ≥6. While our data collection and analyses occurred before the guidance was revised, in order to reflect best current practice, we re-analysed our data, taking into account this new cut-off**. We found that our core findings and conclusions hold.*OSF project for Rahman et al., 2021, including pre-registration, materials and data, is available from: https://osf.io/m6rgw** OSF project for re-analysis, taking into account revised cutoff, is available from: https://osf.io/gr5w3/Rahman, F., Kessler, K., Apperly, I.

This paper is a formal response to McKay’s and Carter’s publication titled “Data irregularities across six implicit learning articles: Comments on Lola and Tzetzis (2021), Lola, Giatis, Pérez-Turpin, and Tzetzis (In Press), Lola and Tzetzis (2020), Tzetzis and Lola (2015), Lola, Tzetzis, and Zetou (2012), and Tzetzis and Lola (2010)” in the blog psyarxiv.com. This paper directly addresses and refutes all of McKay’s and Carter’s comments regarding the validity of our results and conclusions on the aforementioned publications. Unfortunately, McKay’s and Carter’s comments are based on misconceptions of our statistical methodology (e.g. measuring methods, family-wise error corrections, etc.) as well as in the methods they utilize: the applicability of GRIMMER analysis, the difference of effect size, and statistical significance are in their vast majority invalid. Our research team is in the process of updating the manuscripts in the journals in order to correct the few errors that McKay and Carter identified, which in no case affected any of our studies’ results or conclusions. Through this paper, we provide all required clarifications and better explain our methodological choices. We strongly believe that any critique that provides food for thought is welcome, but a critique that only deals with the numbers of a survey, without commenting on the qualitative characteristics, is not useful to the academic community, highlighting the need for adequate meta-analytic training in the field of motor learning in order to promote constructive dialogue.

World Malaria Day is observed on 25th April every year. April 25 was designated as Malaria Awareness Day in 2007 by President George W. Bush. World Malaria Day theme for 2013-14-15 is “Invest in the future. Defeat malaria”. Burden of Malaria Approximately half of the world's population is at risk of malaria. 97 countries and territories had ongoing malaria transmission in 2014. Plasmodium knowlesi – a species that causes malaria among monkeys has been detected in recent years in certain areas of South-East Asia. The new strategy, which aims to reduce malaria cases and deaths by 90% by 2030 from current levels, will be presented to the World Health Assembly in May. In the last decade, only four countries have been declared malaria-free. The goal has been set up to eliminate the disease from a further 35 countries by 2030. [1]

Sialolithiasis is the most common salivary gland disease. Submandibular sialolithiasis is the most common site. Sialoliths greater than 15 mm in any one dimension is considered as the larger one. Salivary stones with size greater than 30 mm are rare. We report a case of a huge sialolith (approx. 38 mm*30 mm) of the submandibular gland along with the review of literature. Sialendoscopy is newer diagnostic as well as therapeutic modality recently gaining fame. The aim of presenting this case report is to understand etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation and management of submandibular sialolithiasis.

Background: Animal injury is being discussed globally for the reason of increased morbidities and mortalities along with challenges faced in its treatment. In India, the most of the animal injuries were treated (like snake bite, dog bite) at Government hospital due to non-availability of medicines at local medical stores. Pubmed search revealed no information on animal injuries from India. Understanding the above facts, this study was conducted with objective to understand the prevalence and patterns of animal injuries from the rural area of Maharashtra. Methods: It was descriptive cross-sectional, community based study, a conducted in all 24 villages under Primary Health Centre, Kharangana (Gode), dist. Wardha. The study was carried out from June 2009 to May 2011. Data was collected on socio-demographic characteristics, proportion & different types of animal injury by using pre-tested interview schedule through the house to house visit. Recall period of one year was used. Result: In the present study, the total 4790 subjects of all age were studied from 1100 families. Magnitude of animal injury was 84 (1.8%). The highest proportion (56%) of animal injury was in 25-59 years of age followed by 16.7% in < 14 years. Proportion of animal injury was (67%) among males as compared to (33%) females & the association of age distribution & animal injury was not statistically significant but significant association was found among gender & animal injury. Dog bite was the most common type of animal injury 33 (39.2%), followed by snake bites 20 (23.8%). Conclusion: We found dog bite and snake bites are major cause of animal injuries from rural area and mainly found in the productive age group of male population. There is need of community based research on types & impacts of different animal injuries in lower & middle income countries.

Blastocystis is a widely prevalent intestinal protozoan of man and other animals. It is associated with gastro intestinal disorders and symptoms. Emerging literature suggests that several subtypes of this parasite exist and are responsible for virulence, pathogenicity and symptoms. A variety of new diagnostic methods have been developed which help to recognize genotypic variations, subtype relationship and determination of carrier state. In symptomatic patients, when the other etiological agents have been excluded, it is prudent to treat Blastocystis infection. Metronidazole remains the drug of choice for treatment. Further research is required to shed light on taxonomy, biology and virulence of this organism.

Malaria and Dengue both are mosquito borne infections. Malaria is spread by Anopheles mosquitoes. It’s caused by a parasite called Plasmodium. When an infected mosquito bites us this parasite enters in to our body and goes to liver where it affects red blood cells. While dengue is a mosquito borne viral infection it’s also called break bone fever in severe cases it changes in to life threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever, resulting in low level of platelets, low blood pressure and bleeding occurs. This study was conducted based on the awareness of dengue fever and malaria the survey forms were distributed in 100 different age group of people to determine that how much people are aware of these two diseases. In our survey we aimed to determine the awareness between different age groups about dengue fever and malaria. We set three different age ranges first one is between 15-30 years, second one is between 30-45 years and third one is above 45 years. The result of first range for malaria is (72%) and for dengue is (66.42%). The result of second range for malaria is (31.93%) and for dengue is (36.36%) and the result of third range for malaria is (35.56%) and for dengue is (34.60%). By our result we can conclude that the people of first range and third range are more aware of malaria as compare to dengue, while in second range people are more aware of dengue as compare to malaria., Faculty of Pharmacy, Jinnah University for Women, Karachi-74600, Pakistan.

Purpose: To characterize antifungal susceptibility pattern of different species of dermatophytes isolated from clinical patients in a multispeciality hospital. Method: Micro broth dilution method was used to determine Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for 129 positive samples with reference to CLSI document M38-A2. MIC was done against amphotericin B, fluconazole, ketoconazole, terbinafine, ciclopirox and griseofulvin. Results: The range of MIC was within the normal susceptibility range of the standard strain (Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC MYA – 4439) mentioned in CLSI document M-38 A2. Conclusion: No resistant strains were isolated in our study with reference to the standard testing method. None of the isolates have showed abnormal MIC range when compared to MIC of standard strain reported in literature. Hence, the isolates in our study are found to be susceptible to the antifungals used. However, future studies are required to evaluate the effect of drugs upon clinical response.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Facial nerve paralysis is a commonly encountered clinical entity. Bell’s palsy is the most frequently observed manifestation of facial paralysis, and is diagnosed and treated mainly on the basis of history and clinical examination. Some other cases of facial paralysis would however require more objective, intensive and reliable means of evaluation in order to facilitate optimum management. Method: When the diagnosis of facial paralysis is in doubt, electrodiagnostic tests are a useful method of evaluation. This paper discusses the technique by which these tests are performed using percutaneous facial nerve stimulation. It also discusses the method of interpretation of these test results. Conclusion: Though percutaneous facial nerve stimulation is a reliable and objective method of diagnosis, there are certain limitations to its use which must be borne in mind by the clinician.

Cancer has become an important topic of concern since the world Cancer Report alarms that cancer patients are expected to rise by 50% resulting in 50 million new cancer cases by 2020 [1] . In the developing countries, cancer is emerged as a major public health problem and it is feared that it will be a cause of approximately 75% of all deaths [2, 3] . In 2012, cancer was the cause of 600 000–700 000 deaths[4] proving the severity of the disease and cause of concern. Many factors like unawareness, lower socio economic status, ignorance are responsible for delayed diagnosis leading to advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. It leads to lowering in patient survival rate of 30% compared to 60% in developed countries [5, 6] . WHO has highlighted that healthy lifestyles and suitable public health action plans will take care of majority of cancers [2] .

We came across a 30 year old healthy female patient with severe pain and swelling over the left sternoclavicular joint for three weeks, without any history of trauma. Patient was evaluated elsewhere and empirically started on Antitubercular drugs. Patient was admitted and evaluated as per pain was unpropotionate to her complaints. Computerised Tomography scan revealed eroded medial end of the left clavicle. Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan showed hyper intensity along the sternocleidomastoid and collection in anterior mediastinum. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and Creactive protein on admission was 120 and 98 respectively. Patient underwent decompressioof the left sternoclavicular joint with resection of the medial end of clavicle and excision of the sinus. Anaerobic culture showed growth of bacteroids. Patient was started on Clindamycin and Metronidazole for six weeks. Patient was symptomatically better. Repeat ESR and CRP was 20 and five at the end of six weeks. We suggest that decompression with appropriate antibiotics should be considered at the earliest in sternoclavicular arthritis.
