Aspects of the sustainability of the camel milk value chain and its regulatory framework in Isiolo County, Northern Kenya
Authors: Machan Steve , Agwata Jones , Oguge Nicholas
Published: February 2022

The camel milk value chain plays a critical role as a primary foundation of livelihoods among the pas­toralist communities, but it faces a great challenge in control mechanisms to enhance a sustainable marketing system. Our study analyzes the drivers and processes influencing the sustainability of the camel milk value chain in Isiolo County, northern Kenya. In this paper, we report on aspects of the characteristics of the value chain players and effi­cacy of its regulatory frameworks, and propose a model for an enhanced system. We conducted the study using primary data from a field survey and obtained secondary data from a desk study. We collected primary data through interviews with households using a survey questionnaire. Using a survey guide, we also conducted key informant interviews to supplement the household infor­mation. Secondary data was obtained from the lit­erature review. We report that the camel milk value chain has three categories of actors: the micro-actors (input suppliers, producers, bulking centers, processors, and marketers), the support services providers (e.g., extension services, financial institu­tions), and the policy-makers who shape the ena­bling environment of the system. Lack of process­ing capacity and poor institutional coordination among the chain actors and support institutions were identified as major challenges affecting the sustainability of the camel milk value chain. We present a well-regulated camel milk value chain model for the county with a focus on establishing a camel milk policy to lead to a sustainable system.

Determinants of Smallholder Farmer Labor Allocation Decisions in Uganda
Authors: Bagamba Fredrick , Ruben Ruerd , Kuyvenhoven Arie
Published: February 2022

This study provides evidence on factors that influence household labor allocation decisions and demand for farm labor in Uganda. We estimated a monthly panel data to deal with potential heterogeneity or individual effect and tested for violation of the random effects modeling assumption that the explanatory variables are orthogonal to the unit effects. In addition, we estimated a random effects tobit model that involve explained variables with corner solutions. The results show that exogenous income did not affect off-farm labor supply by liquidity constrained households while liquidity unconstrained households increased the amount of labor supplied to off-farm activities and the amount of labor hired in. Farm size and education of household head improved labor productivity on farm and hence the amount of labor hired. Road proximity improved both the hiring in and out of labor. The household being male headed improved the work hours in the nonagricultural off-farm activities. The findings imply that direct payments such as input provision to the poor may not improve labor employment unless backed with policies that remove bottlenecks and improve opportunities in the labor market. Instead, investment in micro credit institutions, road infrastructure, and education suited to smallholder production needs and policies that improve gender balance in terms of access to productive resources could help alleviate bottlenecks in labor markets and improve resource allocation between farm and off-farm sectors.
Medieval Automata and Later Medieval Judeophobia
Authors: Resnick Irven Michael
Published: February 2022

A widely shared sense among later medieval Christians that Jews represented a growing threat led to efforts to clearly mark or distinguish Jews. These efforts often demanded special garments or distinguishing marks on Jews' clothes, or sought natural signs visible in the Jews' body that would identify them. When these measures failed, some fifteenth-century Spanish Christians placed their hopes on mechanical devices or automata that could clearly identify Jews, conversos, or crypto-Jews in order to effect a separation between Christian and Jewish communities. This article examines Alonso Tostado's description of a “talking head” or automaton, inspired by one previously fashioned by Albertus Magnus, which identified any Jew who attempted to enter the town of Tábara. It traces this tradition through early modern Spanish and French literature to demonstrate the special concern to safeguard Christian “purity of blood” in Spain but absent in French sources.
Supersession and Conversion: The Adversus Judaeos Liturgical Dramas of Saint-Martial de Limoges
Authors: Evitt Regula Meyer
Published: February 2022

The adversus Judaeos tropes deeply embedded in the Saint-Martial de Limoges liturgical dramas in BN lat.1139 recommend radical ways of rethinking the organizing concepts that might inform this collection of devotional performances. Early eleventh-century liturgical records from Saint-Martial de Limoges demonstrate profound tensions between apocalyptic and eschatological thinking. Millenarian anxieties combine with news of the 1009 CE Muslim destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to inspire unusual levels of antagonism toward the contemporary Jewish community in Limoges, including retrospective historical narratives by Christian clerics Rodulfus Glaber and Ademar of Chabannes of forced conversions, exile, and death as tools used to disperse Limoges's Jewish community after purported exegetical debates in 1010 CE. The Limoges liturgical dramas manifest these tensions between Christian apocalyptic and eschatological thinking, collectively reflecting a shared Christian cultural commitment to supersessionist representations of Jews and Judaism as end-of-time witnesses at the Christian Eschaton.
Pearl and Aquinas: Rival Models for Transforming Grief
Authors: Overmyer Sheryl
Published: February 2022

This article compares the Pearl and Thomas Aquinas on emotions, will, reason, and the character of the virtues. I focus on the figure of the Jeweler, who in his struggle with grief and longyng, foregoes the high-medieval understanding of moral transformation found in Thomas. Pearl and Aquinas fashion distinct models of emotion, which differ on notions of desire, intellect, habituation, and practices. Ultimately, I demur from newer Pearl studies that tie the poem's theological and moral debts to Thomas and orthodox versions of pre-Reformation Catholicism, arguing instead that Pearl occupies a unique place in the late-medieval history of emotion.
The Fight to Ban The Birth of a Nation in Lancaster, Pennsylvania
Authors: Huesken Gerald G.
Published: February 2022

In early 1916 the African American community of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, mounted a resistance to the planned showing of D.W. Griffith's film The Birth of a Nation. Lancaster serves as a case study for this event, mirroring a wider national turmoil over race catalyzed by the film's release. This story reflects the changing attitudes of how Americans viewed the Civil War and Reconstruction at the start of the twentieth century, both in film and in real life.
Mary Watson’s Vanishing Acts: From The Sign of Four to Sherlock
Authors: Kissoon Roshnara
Published: February 2022

The character of Mary Watson first appears in Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Sign of Four (1890). Scholars have read Mary as a personification of late nineteenth-century British imperial and societal anxieties. Mary is identified both with the dangerous colonial Other and New Woman and, conversely, with the “pure” and safe British domestic order that uneasily triumphs over these threatening forces. Though the critical discourse on Conan Doyle’s work acknowledges the ambivalence surrounding Mary, many critics ignore her eventual childless death in the original Holmes canon. Considering Karen Beckman’s study of the Victorian “vanishing woman” magic act, Mary’s death can be interpreted as this sort of “vanishing”—one that further resists the uneasy containment of the threats so often read in Conan Doyle’s novel. In the television series Sherlock (2010–17) created by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, Mary Watson performs Beckman’s vanishing act in full, reappearing after her onscreen death. Though Sherlock’s Mary is seemingly divorced from her original Victorian context, a closer reading of her trajectory in the series suggests that the model of the “vanishing woman” is very much the same—with the historical points of context merely substituted. Sherlock’s treatment of Mary’s character in the twenty-first century, then, seems surprisingly even more inhibitive and violent than that of Mary’s character in its nineteenth century source material.
Carlyle’s “Phallus-worship”: An Annotated Transcription
Authors: Allison Mark
Published: February 2022

In this hitherto unpublished manuscript essay (c. 1848), Thomas Carlyle uses ancient Dionysian ritual as a symbol for a complex of contemporaneous social tendencies that he deplores. Foremost among these tendencies is the displacement of piety and duty by the exaltation of sensualism and romantic love, which Carlyle associates with revolutionary France, George Sand and her epigones, and circulating-library fiction more generally. “Phallus-worship” represents a jointure between Carlyle’s humane youthful writings and the authoritarian jeremiads of his old age, combining the literary virtuosity of the former with the caustic perspective of the latter. More broadly, “Phallus-worship” is a textual locus of the shift between early and mid-Victorian sensibilities, as Carlyle’s own residual puritanism marked the limits of his capacity to engage with the literary and cultural developments that interested a rising generation of Victorian men and women of letters.
John Wesley, Roman Catholicism, and ‘No Popery!’
Authors: Haydon Colin
Published: February 2022

This article examines John Wesley's anti-Catholicism and his hostility to ‘popery’ on theological, social, and political grounds. The subject is related to wider attitudes to the Catholic minority and its faith in eighteenth-century Britain and Ireland. The article stresses the complexity of Wesley's thinking, thinking which ranged from his admiration for some post-Reformation Catholic figures to his abhorrence of a Church that he feared imperilled the souls of its adherents. It further investigates various germane topics, such as the response of Catholics to early Methodism and Wesley's involvement in the events that culminated in the Gordon riots of 1780.

Published: February 2022

O trabalho desenvolve uma análise de fadiga estrutural de conexões entre um reforçador longitudinal do costado e uma antepara transversal de uma unidade flutuante de produção, armazenamento e transferência (FPSO) convertida a partir de um navio petroleiro. A análise foi realizada pelo Método Simplificado de fadiga (com auxílio da fase ISE, do programa FPSO eagle, desenvolvido pelo ABS) e pelo Método dos Elementos Finitos (com auxílio da fase TSA do programa FPSO eagle, do NASTRAN e do FEMAP) baseados na distribuição de Weibull com o intuito de estabelecer as características favoráveis e desfavoráveis de cada método. Foram determinados o dano pregresso e o dano de alto e baixo ciclo como FPSO. A partir desses valores, foi possível estimar a vida remanescente do FPSO. Conhecendo-se as vantagens/ desvantagens e as diferenças entre os dois métodos, conclui-se que inicialmente deve ser utilizado o Método Simplificado. O Método Simplificado é rápido e serve para se ter uma noção geral da situação do FPSO. No caso de alguma conexão apresentar vida remanescente menor do que a vida de projeto, indica-se a realização do Método dos Elementos Finitos, que leva a resultados mais confiáveis.

Introdução: A sífilis consiste em importante problema de saúde pública mesmo com fácil acesso de informações e baixo custo de tratamento. Objetivo: Analisar os indicadores de sífilis da Atenção Primária, Programa de Qualificação das Ações de Vigilância em Saúde e Sistema Nacional Informatizado para Registro da Pactuação Nacional de Indicadores e Metas (SISPACTO). Métodos: Estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa. Foram utilizados dados secundários registrados no banco de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação, Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos e e-SUS no período de 2017 a 2020. Resultados: De 2017 a 2020, nasceram 1.587 crianças de mães residentes de Raposa. Dados do e-SUS apontam 749 testes rápidos de sífilis em gestantes no período de 2017 a 2020. A taxa de incidência de sífilis congênita passou de 4,0/1.000 nascidos vivos, em 2017, para 2,0/1.000 nascidos vivos, em 2019, evidenciando uma redução. Embora a cobertura de testes rápidos estejam baixa, os dados indicam uma melhora nas ações de vigilância, refletindo na atenção pré-natal, na qual realizaram-se várias intervenções para sua melhoria, tais como: diagnóstico situacional pelo diagrama de SchiKawa, capacitação dos profissionais sobre a testagem, estabeleceu-se fluxos de atendimentos e aplicação dos protocolos, rodas sobre orientação sexual/identidade de gênero, cursos sobre aplicação e efeitos adversos da penicilina, sensibilização quanto à captação precoce das gestantes e parcerias sexuais pelos ACS, cursos sobre preenchimento das fichas e-SUS e investigação de sífilis com critério de definição de caso, implementação do pré-natal do parceiro nas Unidade Básica de Saúde. Além disso, houve apresentação dos indicadores para os profissionais de saúde da ESF/ACS e sensibilização para o seu alcance. Há um processo contínuo de monitoramento e avaliação das produções dos profissionais por meio dos sistemas de informação, sendo importante para mudança do planejamento das ações de saúde. Conclusão: O trabalho permitiu uma análise da situação de saúde. Embora não se tenha alcançado os indicadores, essas estratégias foram essenciais para o combate da transmissão vertical. Entende-se que para melhoria desses indicadores é necessário o envolvimento de todos: gestão, profissionais e comunidade.
Experimental evaluation of transmission length equations for pre-tensioned hollow core slabs
Authors: Abdelatif Amged O. , Shanan Mujtaba M.
Published: February 2022

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of transmission length in hollow core slabs against 18 suggested equations in some codes of practice in addition to some equations from the previous literature. The experimental transmission length was predicted at 95% average mean strain (95% AMS) by measuring changes in strain after wire cutting on the near concrete face using both electric strain gauge and demountable mechanical strain gauges (DEMEC). The ratio between the measured transmission length and the value predicted using codes of practice equations varied from 1.0 to 1.26. On the other hand, the variation was 0.59 to 1.97 for the equations from the previous literature. The experimental results also confirmed the previous findings of non-linear prestress transfer over the transmission zone

Development Strategies in a Market of High Vacancies and Sticky Rates – The Case of
the Hotel Industry
Authors:   University of
            Macau, Lai Rose Neng , Fong Lawrence Hoc Nang ,   University of
            Macau
Published: February 2022

This paper discusses the concurrence of vacancy and ongoing construction under
inflexible rents, taking the hotel industry as an area of application. The prevalent
modest occupancy in the hotel industry of the United States has led to questions about
the ongoing construction of hotels, even if average daily rates (ADRs) have not been
reduced to eliminate the excess supply. By constructing a framework based on a game
theory approach in market equilibrium, developers can determine the optimal timing to
construct the development. Given this option to build, both profit and a double-digit
vacancy rate can coexist with inflexible ADRs that exceed the market equilibrium
threshold. The option framework also allows the management to project occupancy rates
and profits of their existing premises before entering price wars even if their rivals
build new projects.
Rent-Seeking by Rent Concession: An Analysis of Rent-Free Periods in the Seoul
Office Market
Authors:   Hanyang University, Ryu Kang-Min , Kim Hyung Min ,   The University of
            Melbourne
Published: February 2022

Rent-free periods (RFPs) have been used in property markets worldwide especially
during economic downturns as a discount pricing strategy in marketing. However, this
research study proposes that RFPs play a role in increasing or, at least, sustaining
face rent that can be reflected in the property price. This study focuses on the Korean
office market which has experienced growing vacancy rates since the global financial
crisis possibly leading to a decrease in effective rent with greater RFP incentives. In
this period, face rent has increased as offering extended RFPs. Hence, high vacant rates
with high face rent have been observed, which is seemingly contradictory against the
commonly known rent-vacancy negative relationship. This research analyses the rent,
transaction prices and RFPs during 2003 – 2017 in the Seoul office market. The findings
reveal that positive future anticipations of owners and investors are reflected in
extended RFPs to sustain and increase face rent that will eventually lead to higher
property transaction prices. The role of RFPs is not effective in attracting tenants as
a marketing tool. Instead, professionals, including investors/buyers, owners/sellers and
real estate agencies, have been doing rent-seeking by offering rent recessions in the
Seoul office market.

In the physics learning process, one of the things to look out for is developing a change in the student's concept that extends the concept from incomplete concepts to complete and perfect. These concepts often deviate from the correct concept. Misconception are initial concepts that are inconsistent with the scientific concepts agreed by experts. This departure from the concept is known as a misunderstanding. This study aims to determine the extent of student misunderstandings in physics material at SMA Negeri 8 East Halmahera using the Certainty Of Response Index. The subjects used in this study were 30 students from Class XII MIA at SMA Negeri 8 East Halmahera. Retrieving data in this study in the form of a multiple choice diagnostic test (reasoned multiple choice test) 50 numbers, accompanied by the CRI (Certainty of Response Index) of the students on Effort and energy 15 items, Temperature and Heat 17 items and 18 static electricity. The data were analyzed qualitatively. From the results of the data analysis, the following conclusion emerged: The degree of misconception of material temperature and heat was 47%. This was the ultimate misconception of the three materials. This proves that most of the students do not understand the material temperature and heat compared to the material from Effort and energy with a misunderstanding rate was 13%, and the static electricity where a misunderstanding occurred was 20%. Overall, the misunderstanding among students is still low at 35%.

Material and Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted in KTO Karatay University and Medova Hospital, Konya, Turkey, between March 2019 and June 2019. Thirty volunteers between the ages of 55 and 75 who had undergone total knee arthroplasty participated in this study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as physical therapy group and physical therapy + salat group. The participants in the physical therapy group were provided hot-cold application, transcutenous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), active-assisted range of motion, stretching and strengthening exercises during four weeks. Physical therapy+salat group performed salat activity in addition to the treatment. The knee joint patency was measured using a digital goniometer, muscle strength using a manual muscle tester, knee pain with the visual analogue scale (VAS).

Results: There was no difference in knee flexion and extension muscle strength between the groups before and after treatment (p ˃ 0.05). There was no difference in VAS values between the groups before and after treatment (p ˃ 0.05). Knee flexion angle increased significantly in the physical therapy+prayer group compared to the post-treatment physical therapy group (p˂0.003). There was no significant difference between the groups in knee extension angle before and after treatment (p˃0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, it was found that Salat activity after knee arthroplasty improved knee joint range of motion.

Wings or Armor? Costume, Metaphor, and the Limits of Utopia in Aristophanes’sBirds
Authors: Sfyroeras Pavlos
Published: February 2022

What does Peisthetairos give the Rebellious Youth, the first of three intruders in search of wings? The interpretation of Birds 1360–69 has divided commentators since antiquity: does the youth receive wings to be viewed as weapons or weapons to be viewed as wings? On the basis of internal textual evidence and intertextual allusions, I argue for the latter option: instead of the requested bird apparatus, Peisthetairos offers military equipment. This is not a trivial question affecting exclusively, or even primarily, staging. On the contrary, the answer we provide is significant for the play as a whole: it has to do with the reflection, so central in Birds, on the ontological status of the comic utopia; hence, on the relationship between language and reality.
Male Stage-Nudity in Aristophanes
Authors: Compton-Engle Gwendolyn
Published: February 2022

The stage-nudity of male characters is relatively common in comic scenes of the fifth century and first half of the fourth century, in both Attic and South Italian vase-painting. A review of the material evidence shows that stage-nudity is particularly frequent in scenes of vigorous physical activity; a few scenes indicate plot-prompted disrobing. These scenes indicate that stage-nudity may have been more common in the performance of Aristophanes than previously believed based on textual evidence alone. This paper reconsiders possible instances of male-stage nudity in extant plays, including the possibility of extended stage-nudity in Peace and Knights.
The Threat of Great Ape Extinction From COVID-19
Authors: Casal Paula , Singer Peter
Published: February 2022

The current pandemic could give several ape species the final push into extinction. Besides the direct harm the virus may cause to species that are very susceptible to human respiratory pathogens, the pandemic has also brought an economic crisis with lockdowns and absence from usual workplaces, resulting in increased poaching and habitat encroachment. The countries where the remaining apes live cannot shoulder alone the cost of conservation. Other countries with more resources have also contributed to ape extinction and are also implicated in the current pandemic. Moreover, international cooperation is essential for the conservation efforts needed to avoid depriving other hominids of their habitats, their cultures, and their future.
A Critique of Mario Vargas Llosa’s Putative Justifications of Bullfighting
Authors: Villena David
Published: February 2022

The Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Mario Vargas Llosa praises the legal protection of bullfighting by a Peruvian law that prohibits the torture of animals except in the case of cultural traditions, such as bullfighting and cockfighting. He claims that his defense of bullfighting follows from his liberal point of view and advances three reasons in favor of its preservation: It is a tradition, it is a fine art, and the individuals should be constitutionally free to choose what to see and where to go. I argue that his arguments are morally irrelevant and logically unsound.

On Forgetting, Displacement, and Historical Error in Polish History
Authors: Dabrowski Patrice M.
Published: February 2022

Singling out Polish-Jewish relations as the major problem has come quite late in the millennium or so of Polish history. The present essay approaches Polish history from a different angle, considering its very nature as well as some important yet inconvenient facts that have been forgotten or displaced. What actually constitutes Polish history is presented as problematic. The historic divide between the nobility (Sarmatians) and the numerous peasantry (Roman Catholic Slavophones, the ancestors of most of today’s Poles) is shown to be a central problem that needed to be papered over, were a modern Polish nation to embrace the entirety of Polish speakers. In the nineteenth century, the two groups’ shared Roman Catholic faith was perceived as a bridge to unity. The subsequent weaponization of anti-Semitism by integral nationalists and Roman Dmowski’s creation of the category of “half-Poles” to label those who opposed him have repercussions to this day.
Polish Intersectionality
Authors: Porter-Szücs Brian
Published: February 2022

To fully understand northeastern Europe’s cultural pluralism, it helps to apply a concept first coined for a very different time and place: “intersectionality.” This idea begins with a simple recognition that every person embodies a cluster of identities, some personally embraced and some imposed by others. All of these identities are positioned within cross-cutting relationships of power and privilege that interact in complicated ways. Although the term “intersectionality” dates back only three decades, those of us who study northeastern Europe are familiar with the underlying issues. Both the people of that region, and those who study them, were thinking about this problem long before anyone had a word for it. The virtue of the intersectional approach is that it prevents us from even attempting to walk the tightrope balanced between the blunt reification of national communities on the one hand, and the totalizing story of a singular (unmarked) “Polish” history on the other. It allows us to see, and when appropriate to prioritize, the various categories of gender, religion, language, status, or class that swirled around everyone living along the Vistula River basin. At the same time, it allows us to avoid the fraught dualisms of a “Polish-Jewish History” approach, which by its very label assumes that those two adjectives will everywhere and always be the most important ones.
“The Conquest of History?” Toward a Usable Past in Poland
Authors: Polonsky Antony
Published: February 2022

In his explanation for why the provocative title “Is There a History of Poland beyond the Holocaust?” was chosen for this forum, John Bukowczyk wrote that the goal was to stimulate contributions which would take this as a springboard and “engage the broader topic of Polish-Jewish relations, for which the Holocaust has become a metonym.” Before one can examine why the study of Polish-Jewish relations has become so central in Polish historical discourse in recent years one must pose two other questions. The first is whether the long-standing Polish belief that the study of the past has clear and obvious lessons for the present remains valid today. The second is how successful have been the attempts since the 1970s and, more particularly, since the negotiated end of communism in 1989 to fill in the “blank spots” in the account of the recent past which was established in the half-century of communist rule in Poland.
