Women Breaking the Silence over Violence: Revising Historiography through Sorayya Khan’s Novels
Authors: Kaushal Urvashi , Tripathi Priyanka
Published: February 2023

The partition of British India in 1947 and the Bangladesh liberation war of 1971 witnessed violence that changed the cartography of the Indian subcontinent. This article explores a connecting thread between the history of violence during these epochal events and the commonality that both were followed by a conspicuous silence in the official historiography. It probes the disjuncture in the unreconciled history where silences corroborate official historiography and the unhealed wounds of victims of violence can be traced in the literary historiography produced by Sorayya Khan. This article is an analysis of her thematic choices and her treatment while writing about the victims of nationalist violence and its perpetrators. It examines her relentless effort to break this collective amnesia and silence of a society that witnessed, violated, massacred, and assaulted millions of its citizens to secure its borders. Her writing needs attention as it fills silent gaps in the historiography of Pakistan, and unlike most of the writers, she challenges the pervasive perception of men as heroic soldiers or perpetrators of violence and women as victims. She posits women as agents for breaking the silence over violence and thereby revises the official historiography.
Diglossia between Edge and Bridge in Arabic Science Fiction: Reinventing Narrative after the Arab Spring
Authors: Alhashmi Rawad
Published: February 2023

This article examines the transcription of diglossia in Basma Abdel Aziz’s The Queue (al-Tábúr 2013; translated into English by Elisabeth Jaquette in 2016) and Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad (Frānkishtāyn fī Baghdad 2013; translated into English by Jonathan Wright in 2018), and how it is rendered in translation. The article argues that Abdel Aziz and Saadawi encapsulate diglossia in their novels to crystallize the immediacy of sociopolitical upheavals through the momentum of the Arab Spring and the colonial background of Iraq. The juxtaposition of high variety (Standard Arabic) and low variety (colloquial Arabic) is engineered toward the democratization of everyday language Arabic Science Fiction (ASF) to engage with ongoing events, thereby capturing the immediacy of the present in one genre. In doing so, Abdel Aziz and Saadawi constitute an archetype project of diglossia in the realm of ASF, opening a new linguistic chapter to convey a local spectrum of literary narrative beyond the convention of literary language, which uses standard Arabic as a serious literary medium. Thus, both novelists bridge the gap between high and low varieties, providing a new political immediacy to their societies.

It is notorious that since the beginnings of spacetime, the human being lives with microorganisms of countless forms, be it in a positive way as in case of Bacteroidetes present in the intestine’s microbiota or negative way as in case of recent epidemic of Sars-Cov-2. So, the negative impacts caused by microorganisms are objects of study in the whole world, for instance, Candida albicans, which is a fungus that lives in the human body symbiotically and assists in the maintenance of body homeostasis, but the same can present an invasive features that become harmful to the human health, mainly in people who present some kind of immunodeficiency, causing its proliferation to become exacerbated, may cause the death. Said that, the use of drugs to control C. albicans is very important, being the nystatin and fluconazole that are the ones that are currently used. However, the updating of such medicines as time goes by becomes ineffective to some kinds of strains, since the capacity of the fungus in evolution creates resistance to medicines. So, the Discovery of new drugs is necessary and natural products are an excellent research source for the same. Therefore, this study made the methodology in silico of molecular docking to investigate the forms of connection of the natural compounds fukugetin, guttiferone-A, lapachol, mangiferin, plumbagin and 7-epiclusianone in potential molecular targets of fungus Candida albicans.

Published: February 2023

The demonstration phenomenon that was launched by the Arab Spring has caused political upheaval in Middle Eastern countries, starting from Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Syria which is still continuing today, is a bridge to change, the fall of authoritarian regimes, and also as a symbol of struggle pro-democratic Arab people who demand a paradigm shift in the Middle East state. The intended change is in the economic, social, open and democratic aspects of the political system. The Arab Spring phenomenon still leaves many problems, Middle Eastern countries are still in a slump, trapped in conflict and civil war. The democratic transition that was aspired to did not go well, being held hostage by the interests of authoritarian and sectarian regimes: ethnicity, religion, sects and political groups. Authoritarianism is one of the causes of instability and has colored the political dynamics of the Middle East. Socio-historically, authoritarianism and sectarianism in the Middle East have multi-layered roots over a long period of time. This paper tries to read the paradigm shift in the Arab region state state against authoritarianism towards democracy

Os gliomas compreendem a grande maioria de todos os tumores cerebrais malignos. A identificação do estado de codeleção cromossômica 1p/19q em gliomas de baixo grau (LGG) é de fundamental importância no manejo clínico. Este trabalho propõe uma assinatura de baixa complexidade para avaliação não invasiva do status 1p/19q a partir de imagens de ressonância magnética, usando radiômica e aprendizado de máquina. Os experimentos foram realizados usando imagens ponderadas em T2 de um conjunto de dados público, com 159 pacientes e status 1p/19q comprovado por biópsia. Um conjunto de 68 características quantitativas foi extraído de cada tumor usando a plataforma PyRadiomics. A normalização foi utilizada para que todas as características apresentem uma ordem de grandeza similar. A análise de componentes de vizinhança foi utilizada para redução de dimensionalidade. A previsão do status 1p/19q foi realizada usando um classificador de k-vizinhos mais próximos, com ajuste de hiperparâmetros usando busca em grade com validação cruzada. O desempenho da classificação foi avaliado usando várias métricas. Os resultados mostram que o desempenho da classificação melhora à medida que incorporamos cada etapa adicional a assinatura, e os melhores resultados foram obtidos ao executar a assinatura completa. Quando comparado com vários métodos de ponta da literatura e com resultados obtidos por neurocirurgiões e neurorradiologistas analisando as mesmas imagens, a assinatura proposta apresentou acurácia (81,88%), especificidade (69,25%), precisão (86,04%), área sob a curva (82,70%) e pontuação F1 (86,28%); o método proposto também apresentou alta sensibilidade (88,48%). Este trabalho demonstra técnicas baseadas em radiômica e aprendizado de máquina que fornecem avaliação não invasiva e promissora do status 1p/19q em LGGs. A assinatura proposta pode ser útil para facilitar a tomada de decisões clínicas, cirúrgicas e terapêuticas.

Authors: MAQSOOD I , QAZI GA , HAMAYUN Z
Published: February 2023

This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of morphine and methadone for treating NAS. A randomized, double-blind study was conducted at The Children’s Hospital & The Institute of Child Health Multan from December 2021 to December 2022. A total of 180 pregnant women were enrolled in the study, of which 114 needed treatment and were randomized (1:1) to receive morphine or methadone. Standardized Finnegan Score (FS)was used to assess infants every four hours. Methadone alternating with placebo or neonatal diluted morphine was administered to infants every four hours. The primary endpoint of the study was the duration of the hospital stay. Both the methadone and morphine groups had similar risk factors and demographic variables. There was a total of 14 adverse events equally distributed in both groups. After adjusting for the type of opioid used by the mother, it wasfound that the mean relative duration of hospital stay was 13% (which corresponds to the difference of 2.8 days) lower in the methadone group compared to morphine. The duration of treatment was 15% (which corresponds to a difference of 2.2 days) lower in the methadone group than in morphine. The median hospital stay with methadone was 15 days compared to 19 days with morphine (P = .005). Based on the results, it can be concluded that for the treatment of NAS, methadone had better short-term outcomes than morphine

A fizikai aktivitás a gyerekek személyiségének teljes fiziológiai és pszichológiai rendszerére hatással van. Fontos szerepet tölt be nemcsak a gyermekek, de felnőttek közötti kapcsolatok kialakításában is, emiatt kommunikatív hatású, közösségteremtő erő. Ha az adott gyermek a mozgástevékenységben ügyesen megoldja a feladatokat, akkor kompetensnek érzi magát, élvezheti a közössége támogatását, magabiztosabb lesz, nem zárkózik el az újabb és újabb kihívásoktól, ez pedig ösztönzőleg hat a környezetére is. A fizikai aktivitás hat az értelmi fejlődésre, hiszen a mozgásokban a gyermek teljes személyiségével, így értelmi képességeivel együtt vesz részt. A rendszeres testmozgás hatására az idegsejtek szerteágazóbbakká válnak, több kapcsolatot építenek ki, ez hosszú távon is pozitívan befolyásolja a tanulási képességeket és készségeket, valamint javítja a memóriát.

O ENSINO DE FILOSOFIA NOS CURSOS DE LICENCIATURA EM PEDAGOGIA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA DA LITERATURA
Authors: Dos Santos Ana Paula Teodoro , Santos Fernanda Lays da Silva , Lima Walter Matias
Published: February 2023

Pesquisas mais recentes apontam que o pedagogo atua em diversas áreas e modalidades profissionais. Dessa maneira, o currículo do curso de Pedagogia ganha um caráter mais técnico, buscando atender essas novas especificidades, o que algumas vezes, diminui o valor à filosofia nesse contexto, provocando uma fragmentação de componentes curriculares, o que dificulta a real qualidade na formação do pedagogo, impossibilitando-o de analisar as discussões educacionais e a problematização política das práticas educativas. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal identificar os estudos científicos sobre o ensino de filosofia enquanto componente curricular nos cursos de Licenciatura em Pedagogia nas universidades. Assim, foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, optando pelas bases Scopus (da Elsevier), Scielo, Springer Link e ACM Digital Library. Os Strings inseridos nas buscas foram philosophy AND pedagogy AND “philosophy of education”, com o auxílio metodológico da ferramenta online Start (State of the Art through Systematica Reviews) para facilitar a apreciação de conteúdo dos artigos encontrados. Na primeira busca de dados se encontrou 30.011 trabalhos. Após feito refinos de busca, restaram apenas três artigos que apresentam as particularidades do ensino de filosofia nas matrizes curriculares dos cursos de Pedagogia de países como Chile, Espanha e Turquia. Portanto, os resultados mostram uma carência de investigações sobre o lugar que ocupa a filosofia na formação de pedagogos e pedagogas, e também apontam a inexistência de artigos que contemplem a questão a nível de Brasil, evidenciando a necessidade de se realizar mais análises neste campo de investigação.

Impact of Dumpsites on Groundwater Contamination in Selected Settlements in Irewole and Isokan Local Government areas, Osun State, Nigeria
Authors: Aramide Tadenikawo
Published: February 2023

This study examined the spatio-temporal variation in the physico- chemical characteristics of ground water across the study area. This was with a view to determining the impact of dumpsites on ground water quality in the study area. Ground water samples were taken twice (once in the dry season and once in the wet season). These samples were taken from wells within 150 m proximity of a dumpsite using 1 litre high density polyethylene bottles. A control point was purposely picked, 1 km away from any noticeable dumpsite. The water samples were analyzed for physical and chemical parameters according to APHA, 1992 standard. The result of Analysis of Variance between values exhibited at the sampled points in Apomu and Ikire showed that there was no statistically significant difference in ground water pH values between the two communities in both wet (F = 0.102, P > 0.05) and dry (F = 0.471, P > 0.05) season. The result showed that the distance of the sample points to the dumpsite did not have a direct influence on water quality in that some parameters that were tested were found to exist more in the control samples than in the mean of the experimental samples. The results also showed that some of the tested parameters existed in higher quantities than both Nigerian and WHO standards for drinking water quality. The study concludes that the dumpsites in the study area has led to contamination of ground water as a result of leachate percolation from the dumpsites

Seksuele intimidatie niet uit de schijnwerpers verdwenen sinds #MeToo

Na de misstanden bij onder andere The Voice of Holland en Ajax, staat het bestrijden van seksuele intimidatie in Nederland bovenaan de agenda. In deze bijdrage wordt aan de hand van een jurisprudentieonderzoek en interviews met rechters geanalyseerd hoeveel aandacht er in ontslagprocedures is voor het slachtoffer van seksuele intimidatie. Uit de resultaten is gebleken dat de meeste rechters weinig aandacht besteden aan de beleving van of de gevolgen voor het slachtoffer. Meer aandacht voor slachtoffers zou naar mijn mening zorgen voor een evenwichtigere afweging door de rechter, wat bijdraagt aan een betere bescherming tegen seksuele intimidatie op de werkvloer.

Published: February 2023

In this investigation information was collected regarding the habitat condition, channel profile, and stream discharge of key waterways within the Piney Creek Watershed in vicinity of Beckley, Raleigh County, West Virginia.  Piney Creek is a major tributary that flows into the New River within the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. To establish robust and sustainable ongoing stream monitoring, West Virginia University Institute of Technology (WVU Tech), Beckley Sanitary Board (BSB)  and Piney Creek Watershed Association (PCWA) partnered in conducting stream habitat assessments at key sites within the watershed utilizing the guidelines provided by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Save Our Streams initiative.  Additionally, the organizations developed standard operating procedures for calculating flow and discharge utilizing low-cost, easy-to-perform float gauging methodology.  In total, 21 sites from five named streams (Beaver Creek, Cranberry Creek, Little Whitestick Creek, Whitestick Creek, and Piney Creek) and seven unnamed streams were selected and assessed for channel width and depth, velocity, discharge, sediment deposition, embeddedness, bank stability, riparian buffer, and stream bed composition.  Streambed composition and discharge showed variability among the subwatershed sites. Nine site habitat scores received overall habitat scores of “suboptimal”, while ten were scored as “marginal” and two as “poor” stream habitat.  Lack of riparian buffer was found to be the most frequent habitat score deficiency in the Piney Creek Watershed, with 18 out of the 42 total stream banks receiving a score of “poor” in this category. Characterization of the watershed is important for establishing baseline information as well as identifying important sites for future research and execution of improvement projects. This study defines an area that could serve as an accessible research resource and model watershed.

Authors: Rodrigues Silva Amanda , Watters Brady , Quaranta John , Hopkinson Leslie
Published: February 2023

The treatment of acid mine drainage (AMD) involves chemical additives to raise pH and precipitate solubilized metals. The byproduct of this process is an AMD sludge precipitate, and its management and disposal are a continuous environmental legacy.  This study evaluated the application of AMD sludge as a soil amendment to support vegetation establishment. A small-scale growth study was completed with six treatments composed of different proportions of topsoil and AMD sludge as follows:  i) 100% topsoil, ii) 10% sludge, and 90% topsoil, iii) 20% sludge and 80% topsoil, iv) 30% sludge and 70% topsoil), v) 40% sludge and 60% topsoil), and vi) 50% sludge and 50% topsoil. Four replications of each treatment were considered.  Ground cover was monitored weekly for nine weeks (September 29, 2021 – December 2, 2021). Stem length and biomass were measured. Groundcover varied from 14.6% to 70.1% among all treatments throughout the study; all treatments were determined as statistically similar to the 100% topsoil treatment. Biomass ranged from 1.41 to 6.22 g, and average stem length varied from 3.6 to 4.6 cm.  Toxicity did not exceed minimum levels for one representative sludge sample. This preliminary study provides support for the further advancing AMD sludge as a soil amendment.

Introduction: A large number of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) encounter surgical cardiopulmonary bypass [on-pump coronary artery bypass (ONCAB) or off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB)]. Since two techniques have been commenced, the doubt of which one is more convincing and efficacious has always been discussed and is still controversial.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the early patency and survival rate of coronary grafts after CABG in On-Pump vs Off-pump groups.
Material and methods: This retrospective cross sectional study was conducted in the Cardiac surgery department of Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore in year 2020 using the data of previous surgeries done from 01-01-2009 to 01-03-2010 (14 months). Total 792 patients fulfilling inclusion criteria were included. The data consisted of two groups Group-A ONCAB (341) and Group B OPCAB (451), with total number of grafts (2333). Out of 792 patients only 315 were followed up the same year and in 2020, 135 were followed up for survival rate. The sampling technique used in this study was non probability sampling.
Results:  The mean age of the patients in Group A was 56.13 ±9.305 years and in Group B was 53.9 ± 9.382 years. In 315 followed up patients the number of grafts applied were 949. The mean number of grafts applied in Group A was 3.11±0.949 and in Group B was 2.95±0.959. There was no statistically significant difference seen between these groups. Out of 949 grafts 795 were patent from which 410 were applied in group A and 385 were applied in group B. 154 were blocked out of which 67 were applied in group A and 87 were applied in group B. After 10 years, only 135 were followed for survival rate, out of which 22.22% had angioplasty done, 51.85% reported events of shortness of breath, 13.33% had another attack of myocardial infarction, 30.37% had angiography done and mortality rate was 14.07%. There were 85.4% patients still alive in Group A and 86.8% in Group B. The overall survival rate is 85.9%.
Conclusion: In overall comparison there is no significant difference in patency and occlusion rate. However, the survival rate is 85.9%. So we can say both groups are equally safe and no procedure is preferred over another, entailing an identical caliber of anastomosis.

Air sebagai salah satu penyokong kehidupan manusia lambat laun semakin menurun kualitasnya. Penurunan kualitas disebabkan oleh tercemarnya mata air yang sebagian besar terjadi karena ulah dari manusia. Salah satu upaya untuk mencegah terjadinya pencemaran mata air adalah dengan kegiatan Perlindungan Mata Air (PERMATA). Komik ini bercerita tentang dua orang mahasiswa yang melakukan studi lapangan terkait perlindungan mata air di Bali. Dari hasil studi lapang mereka, banyak ditemukan kasus pencemaran mata air karena faktor pencemaran yang bermula dari aktivitas manusia seperti limbah rumah tangga, pariwisata, pertanian, dan faktor penyebab lainnya. Beberapa upaya sudah dilakukan oleh masyarakat dan pemerintah di Bali dalam memperbaiki sekaligus melindungi sumber mata air, baik pelestarian lingkungan dan juga readaptasi budaya lokal Subak.
WORK UNDER A GOOD GOVERNMENT. REFLECTIONS ON THE ALLEGORY OF GOOD AND BAD GOVERNMENT BY AMBROGIO LORENZETTI
Authors: Unterschütz Joanna
Published: February 2023

In 1339, Ambrogio Lorenzetti completed a series of frescoes depicting the Allegory of Good Government, the Consequences of Good Government and the Allegory of Bad Government adorning the Sala della Pace in Sienese Palazzo Publico. The first fresco can be read as a philosophical treatise depicting the values that should guide rulers to ensure peace and harmony among their subjects. Particularly evident is the role of justice (aequitas), the source of which is wisdom, and which leads to harmony among citizens. Justice is also presented as one of the virtues of rulers. The uniqueness of this work lies not only in its universal and still relevant message, but also in its depiction of an ideal city in which citizens are primarily occupied with work.
PROTECTION OF THE PERSONAL RIGHTS OF THE PERSON CONCERNED BY THE WHISTLEBLOWERS NOTIFICATION
Authors: Dörre-Kolasa Dominika
Published: February 2023

Recently, we have observed an increased interest of representatives of the doctrine in the issue of protection of whistleblowers, which is undoubtedly the aftermath of the ongoing legislativework aimed at implementing the Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law(hereinafter: the Directive). Both the title of the Directive, as well as much of its motives, focus attention on the protection of whistleblowers, on the effectiveness of which the EU legislator depends to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement and detection of violations that may cause serious harm to the public interest. However, contrary to the oversimplification presented in the press commentaries and mass media, the Directive contains, in addition to the protection mechanisms for whistleblowers, a whole series of other regulations of significance for its proper application. In particular, it establishes a general legal framework for the filing of notifications through internal and external channels as well as through public disclosure, leaving no affected persons without legal protection. A careful analysis of both the motives and the content of the Directive leads to interesting conclusions on the limits of legal protection for whistleblowers in connection with the need to ensure protection also for those affected by reporting who are subject to allegations
PERIODICAL EVALUATION OF ACADEMIC TEACHERS AND ITS IMPACT ON FURTHER EMPLOYMENT
Authors: Giedrewicz-Niewińska Aneta , Torbus Urszula
Published: February 2023

Except for the rector, each academic teacher undergoes the obligatory periodical evaluation, similarly to other public administration employees. Periodical evaluation of academic teachers plays an essential role in HR management in each university. Its result should be related, among others, to decisions on promotions and prolonging employment. Only one provision of the Act of 2018, Law on Higher Education and Science (LHES), regulates the issue of periodical evaluation. The detailed rules and procedures for conducting the evaluation are set in the internal regulations of each university. The evaluation period has not been imposed on universities, as the LHES provides the obligation to execute it at least once every four years or at the rectors request. The evaluation is postponed ipso iure in case of an academic teachers absence for reasons given in the LHES. However, the law does not refer to his long-term illness or unpaid leave. The LHESmaintains the enforced role of the periodic evaluation introduced in 2011. The rector is obliged to terminate the employment relationship with an academic teacher with two negative results.However, the legislator did not indicate whether the termination of the employment relationship is permissible in the case of employees covered by the so-called special protection of the durability of the employment. The first negative evaluation allows the rector to terminate the employment relationship. The LHES does not specify which criteria should be followed by the rectorwhen making such a decision; therefore, they should be specified in the termination notice. The rector should apply objective criteria related to the legitimate interest of the university.
COLLECTIVE EMPLOYMENT LAW DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Walczak Krzysztof
Published: February 2023

The author describes how the practice of collective employment law has changed during the coronavirus pandemic. In this respect, four stages have been separated. The first preceding the pandemic, were wage negotiations aimed at implementing 3 guidelines of the theory of human resource management: attract, motivate and retain. The second stage were agreements aimed at maintaining jobs during the pandemic. The third stage is collective labor disputes aimed at obtaining larger wage increases than employers are willing to pay. Finally, the fourth is the cooperation of employers with trade unions in the introduction of new legal institutions such as remote work and procedures for reporting violations of law.

Authors: Serafin Katarzyna
Published: February 2023

The amendment of 5 July 2018 introduced some changes to the Trade Unions Act of 1991 in the scope of the rules for the acquisition and loss of legal status of a company trade union by trade unions in the workplace. The legislator extended the catalogue of events resulting in the loss of the status of a company trade union organization and established a juridical procedure for verifying the number of trade union members indicated in the information presented to the employer. These amendments were aimed at eliminating the state of uncertainty resulting fromthe existing regulations. However at the sametime, the legislator did not regulate the legal consequences of losing the status of a company trade union organization in relation to the sphere ofcompany sources of labor law. The author notices the legal gap in this field and related interpretation problems, indicating the need for regulating this issue by the legislator

After introduction of hybrid under maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation in India it became competitive to rice and found suitable for crop diversification. Due to higher nutrient demand and differential plant type the hybrid needs modification in production technology especially for nutrient and plant geometry. So, this study was conducted in maize-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (MW) system in western Indo-gangetic plains in sandy loam soil for two consecutive years (2010-12) to explore best maize density and nutrient management in system in order to enhance soil nutrient status and productivity. The results showed that the application of the highest dose of nutrients in maize, i.e. 300: 45.9: 87.5 N:P:K kg/ha resulted in higher organic carbon, macro and micronutrient availability in soil while application of the lowest dose of fertilizer gave significantly higher CEC and available sulphur. Significantly higher CEC, organic carbon and available nutrients were observed in 66 000 plants/ha which gave significantly higher plant height and effective tillers in wheat. The growth and yield attributes of wheat, viz. plant height, effective tillers, spike length, spikelets/spike and spike weight in wheat were significantly higher with residual effect of 300: 45.9: 87.5 N:P:K kg/ha nutrient application in maize which were on par with 250: 39.9: 75.0 N:P:K kg/ha. Amongst the direct nutrient application in wheat significantly higher LCC, SPAD, plant height, effective tillers, spike length, spikelet/spike, and grain weight/spike were recorded with 125% RDF which were on par with RDF or 75% RDF. The better nutrition in maize compared to ad-hoc recommendations resulted in significant (P<0.05) enhancement of system productivity by 17 to 19%. The direct application of nutrient in wheat gave 14 to 19 higher yield of wheat as well as 6 to 8% higher yield of the MW system. So, on the basis of two years study it was concluded that growing of maize with 66 000 plants/ha and 250:39.9:75 kg/ha N:P:K application followed by 90:19.8:24.0 kg/ha N:P:K application in wheat may be adopted for higher yield and soil nutrient status in western Indo-gangetic plains.
