I will also explore some issues in cross-cultural writing in the context of research fiction; take a brief look at market and readership; and close with some observations about how we position ourselves as writers in relation to other cultures.
Uneasy Bedfellows: Assessing the Creative Thesis and its Exegesis
Authors: Kroll Jeri
Published: May 2022

What exact relationship does thecritical “dissertation”, “exegesis” or “critical annotation” (terms vary) have to the creative work? How much weight should each carry? What exactly does “of publishable quality” mean at the end of the 1990s? This paper will examine, therefore, a range of issues from the point of view of supervisors and assessors of BA Hons, MAs and PhDs. If as writers, academics and teachers, we want our students to embark on their theses with confidence, we should try to bring logic and uniformity, as well as a bit of creative flair, into current assessment practice.
Revolution, Revelation, & Rock’n’Roll: Re-Viewing Writing through a Musical Idiom
Authors: Olsen Lance
Published: May 2022

Think of “Revolution, Revelation, & Rock’n’Roll: Re-Viewing Writing through a Musical Idiom” as a concept album with three tracks: theoretical, autobiographical, and pedagogical. The first, “Revolution,” argues that literature in the second half of the twentieth century has to a certain extent been rethought in terms of content and form because of the advent of rock’n’roll; the second, “Revelation,” talks a little about some of the ways rock music influenced my own conception of fiction; and the third, “Rock’n’Roll,” will suggest how we as creative writing teachers might introduce some of these insights into the classroom through a series of exercises designed to jump-start and/or rev our students’ fictional and poetical engines.
Modelling in the Case of a Heterodox Economist: Success and Failure of Michał Kalecki
Authors: SULEJEWICZ ALEKSANDER
Published: May 2022

The author proposes to look at the work of M. Kalecki through the lens of the history of economic thought informed by the methodology of economics, by applying to this aim a meta-economic model suggested by U. Mäki, enhanced with additional features. On the basis of the review of the main works of Kalecki, he finds that we cannot ascribe to his works virtually any of the factors proposed by Mäki as explanation of orthodox economic modelling failure. If it is so, the question may be asked why a more correct economic modelling based on the Kalecki’s theory and post-Keynesian theories has not been recognized as successful. It seems that the mainstream economics is an informal institution, yet strengthened by formal rules, which is unforgiving to heterodox economists. Kalecki seems to have been a paradigmatic case of a successful academic heterodox economist, author of significant innovations in the analyses of capitalism, socialism, and the intermediate regimes, all of which were ultimately rejected by the dominant social forces of the day, signalling ‘modelling failure’ in all academic and policy-institutional contexts. If that is indeed the case, then Mäki’s model fails to provide an explanation of modelling failure in economics.
Antidiabetic, Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Potential of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles Using Fresh Aqueous Leaf Extract of Chromolaena odorata
Authors: A. G Adeyemo. , O. J Igbalaye , O. K Awote
Published: May 2022

The current research study is to develop an easy and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata and evaluate the extract to know its effects as an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy and Scanning Emission Microscopy (SEM). The antioxidant (DPPH, ABTS, Reducing Power, Hydrogen Peroxide), anti-diabetic (alpha-glucosidase inhibition) and anti-inflammatory (Albumin denaturation and Protein inhibition) activities were carried out under standard conditions. The synthesized AgNPs were noticed through a visual color change from yellow to brown. The surface plasmon resonance confirmed the formation of AgNPs with maximum absorbance at 419nm and the SEM result shows that the AgNPs size ranged from 23nm to 31nm. The reducing power and ABTS radical scavenging activity of the AgNPs is low and partially significant compared to the control. The DPPH and Hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity is similar to that of the control. The ability of the synthesized AgNPs to inhibit protein denaturation, alpha glucosidase were similar to that of the standard. It can be concluded that C. odorata leaf extract can be used in the production of potential antioxidant, anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory AgNPs which could be useful in various fields such as in healthcare, industrial purposes, food, etc.

Keywords: C. odorata; AgNPs; SEM; FTIR; antioxidant; anti-inflammatory.

Authors: Nguyen Xuan Hung , Do Nhat Uyen , Nguyen Dinh Khang
Published: May 2022

The research aims to analyze and estimate the effects of entrepreneurship education and psychological capital on the sustainable entrepreneurship intention of university students in Hanoi by information from a review of pertinent literature and a random survey with 408 students in Hanoi. We mainly used quantitative research methods, particularly using the linear regression model with SPSS and SEM to verify. The findings show that both entrepreneurship education and psychological capital positively impact students’ sustainable entrepreneurship intentions. Moreover, all 4 components of psychological capital: (1) self-efficacy, (2) optimism, (3) hope, and (4) resiliency are also proven to affect it positively, especially for resiliency. Based on the results, we proposed several solutions to promote the sustainable entrepreneurship behavior of students in Hanoi.

Keywords: Entrepreneurship education, psychological capital, sustainable entrepreneurship intentions.

Must Land Reform Benefit the Victims of Colonialism?
Authors: Metz Thaddeus
Published: May 2022

Elsewhere I have argued that African values such as communion and reconciliation require compensating those who have been wronged in ways likely to improve their lives. I have also contended that, when applied to land reform, this principle entails not transferring unjustly acquired land en masse and immediately to dispossessed populations since doing so would foreseeably lead to such things as capital flight and food shortages, which would harm them and the broader society. Oritsegbubemi Anthony Oyowe has recently argued against my claim that land reform should be enacted so as to benefit victims of colonialism while not greatly burdening innocent third parties, instead supporting the return of land to its rightful owners regardless of how the manner in which it were done would affect people’s quality of life. Here I expound Oyowe’s argumentation and respond to it in defense of my initial position, appealing to examples from southern Africa.
An African Approach to Western Islamophobia
Authors: Cordeiro-Rodrigues Luis
Published: May 2022

Islamophobia is a form of prejudice significantly widespread in Western societies. To date, very little research in moral and political philosophy has been done to explain why Islamophobia is morally wrong. This article has the objective of addressing this gap in the literature by looking at Islamophobia in the West. In particular, the aim of this article is to explain why Islamophobia, in its Western expression, is morally wrong, articulating an argument based on an African value-system. The African value-system presented is of consequentialist pedigree, and I conclude that at least part of why Islamophobia is morally wrong is because it causes disharmony.
Why African American Philosophy Matters: A Case for Not Centering White Philosophers and White Philosophy
Authors: Radney El-Ra
Published: May 2022

This article asks why African American Philosophy matters. The notion of the “Black philosopher” continues to be an enigma. African descendants are not generally associated with the revered location and status of “the philosopher” and with doing philosophy. In a celebration of the sustained work of the Black philosopher-practitioner, who continues to suffer a fate of deliberate academic “invisibility” and historical erasure, this article supports the expansion of philosophical categories, philosophical conversation, and philosophical inclusivity. This work contends that the marginalization of African American philosophy can be understood from a synthesis of Foucault’s thesis of “subjugated knowledge” (how certain discourses are routinely disqualified by dominant ones) and Black philosopher Lewis Gordon’s explanation of “subverted realization,” which is built in to “white” modern thought. Both key philosophers help locate the problem questioned here. The overriding current of the “white (main) stream” of philosophy, by its deliberate exclusion of African American philosophy, disqualifies it.
The Òrìs.à Legal Tradition
Authors: Abímbó.lá Kó.lá
Published: May 2022

This article advances the claim that the Òrìṣà tradition is best conceived of as a legal tradition. Notwithstanding the fact that scholars have written extensively about the tradition from the perspectives of religion (W. Abimbola 1976; Hucks 2012; Murphy 1995; Olupona & Rey 2008; Stewart 2005), philosophy (K. Abímbọ́lá 2018; K. Abímbọ́lá 2006; Hallen 2000; Makinde 1988; Taiwo 2004), the arts (Abiodun 1975; Thompson 1984; Pemberton III 1977), and many other domains of inquiry, I maintain that the extant scholarship has underrated the significance of tradition, and has almost completely overlooked the fact that the primary function of Òrìṣà is the improvement of social interaction through the governance and regulation of conduct—which makes it a legal tradition.
Modernity and the Igbo Lifeworld: Theorizing the Modernization Dynamics of the Igbo World from the Habermasian Framework
Authors: Ude Donald Mark C.
Published: May 2022

This article theorizes the modernization dynamics of the Igbo world, using the Habermasian framework. Drawing on Habermas, it argues that Igbo modernity or, more precisely, the transformations associated with Igbo modernization, may be understood in terms of the “uncoupling” of systems from the Igbo lifeworld. Relatedly, it further argues that the crises and pathologies that attend modernity in Igboland owe largely to the “colonization” of the Igbo lifeworld by systems of modernity consequent upon this uncoupling. The article pays special attention to the realm of the lifeworld because it is a neglected sphere in the scholarship on the Igbo (African) experience of modernity. Besides, focusing on the Igbo lifeworld would provide the much-needed contextualized reading—one steeped in Africa—of Habermas’s important but rather rarefied theory of modernity. The significance of the article perhaps lies in this two-pronged engagement—the focus on lifeworld and the attempt to contextualize Habermas.

Improved Diagonal Hessian Approximations for Large-Scale Unconstrained Optimization
Authors: Al-Siyabi Ahmed
Published: May 2022

We consider some diagonal quasi-Newton methods for solving large-scale unconstrained optimization problems. A simple and effective approach for diagonal quasi-Newton algorithms is presented by proposing new updates of diagonal entries of the Hessian. Moreover, we suggest employing an extra BFGS update of the diagonal updating matrix and use its diagonal again. Numerical experiments on a collection of standard test problems show, in particular, that the proposed diagonal quasi-Newton methods perform substantially better than certain available diagonal methods.
Archaeo-Geophysical Investigation of Simulated Settlement: Case Study in a Part of Basement Complex of Nigeria
Authors: Olatunji Saminu , Lawal Isaac Onimisi
Published: May 2022

We have used the 2D Vertical Electrical Sounding method and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method to map buried artifacts in a simulated settlement, and have shown how the geographical information system could aid future research. Stones, bones, metals, cement bricks, and cement-and-sand mixtures were locally constructed to fit into an African-archaeological setting. Parameters such as the materials’ composition, width, electrical resistivity, height, age, and depth of burial were taken into account before this investigation. The integrated methods employed collected data over the study area along with a pre-calculated dense network of parallel profiles. A total of eight (8) VES points and six (6) ERT profiles were obtained. The analysis and interpretation revealed that the VES yielded poor resolution for small-scale archaeological anomalies and could only be used fractionally for prospection whilst the ERT results were more suitable for delineation due to the high spatial resolution they provided. The field values correlated with other literature values. This research suggests that rapid significant prospection information, of any area under investigation, can easily be obtained from Google Earth time-lapse images and that its results will serve as a thorough reconnaissance in the search of prehistoric activities.

Authors: Bani-Mustafa Manar S. , Abu-Asba Anat M.
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to explore separation anxiety and social conformity levels among a sample of adolescents. The study sample consisted of 319 students (170 males and 149 females). It was a convenient sample chosen from some villages in Haifa district in Palestine. The authors developed a scale to measure separation anxiety from peers after the model of Hansburg’s 1980 scale. A measure of social conformity was also used (Abu-Nemr, 2011). The results showed a low level of separation anxiety and social conformity among adolescents. There were no significant differences found in social conformity due to the separation anxiety, sex, and interaction between anxiety and grade level. Significant differences were found in the level of social conformity that were attributed to interaction between sex and grade level in favor of males in the eighth grade and in favor of female in the ninth grade.

Authors: Nawafleh Waleed H. , Alomari Wesal H.
Published: May 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using Fryer teaching model on 7th grade students' acquisition of scientific concepts. The researchers were interested in testing if differences between students’ acquisitions of scientific concepts were dependent on previous achievement. Also important was to test if students' acquisition of scientific concepts correlated with attitudes towards using Fryer model. To achieve the objectives of the study, a quasi-experimental method was used. Two instruments were developed: a test to measure the acquisition of the scientific concepts and a questionnaire to measure students' attitudes. The study sample consisted of 72 students who were divided into two groups: one (n=37) studied science using Fryer model; the other (n=35) used the traditional method. At the end of the experiment, concepts acquisition test was administered to both groups; while the attitude scale was administered to the experimental group. The results revealed that there were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) in the acquisition of scientific concepts in favor of the experimental group; and the previous achievement in favor of high achievers. There was an interaction effect between method and previous achievement. The results also revealed a statistically significant correlation between the acquisition of scientific concepts and attitudes towards learning using Fryer model among 7 graders.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to explore the types of spelling errors students of grade ten make and to find out whether there were any significant differences between males and fe- males with respect to the types of spelling errors made. The sample of the study included 90 grade ten students from four different schools in North Batinah. The researchers manipulated the use of a test that consisted of two questions: an oral dictation test of 70 words with a contex- tualizing sentence and a free writing task. The misspellings were classified into nine different types. The findings revealed that the most common spelling errors among Omani grade ten stu- dents were vowel substitution, then came vowel omission in the second place and consonant substitution in the third place. Male students omitted more vowels than female students while females made more true word errors than their male counterparts. In light of the findings, the study presents some recommendations and suggestions for further studies.

Orthopedic knee problems are the main cause of pain in pregnant women from the third trimester of pregnancy, mainly. The musculoskeletal problems that affect pregnant women can remain after childbirth, therefore, their prophylaxis is a necessity for health care. In this sense, a comparative analysis was performed between the measurements of the Q angle of samples of pregnant and non-pregnant women to verify the changes in this angle to serve as a basis for prophylactic treatments when the angle is increased. Measurements were made following the Q angle measurement protocol, and other data were obtained to verify the relationship of the Q angle with age, height, weight, Body Metabolic Index [BMI], hip circumference, and superior anterior iliac spine measurement up to the patella. These data were compared with the Q angle values for both samples, and subsequently, the angle values were compared between pregnant and non-pregnant women. Statistical data and analysis of absolute values showed that there was an increase in the Q angle of pregnant women compared to non-pregnant women and the comparison of BMI with the Q angle showed a higher r² for pregnant women.

Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade da água por meio de insetos aquáticos bioindicadores em Três Corações, MG. Foi realizado o levantamento, identificação e análise dos insetos para determinar a qualidade da água na Fazenda Experimental da Unincor. A armadilha utilizada para as coletas foi a rede entomológica tipo D. As coletas foram definidas em três pontos de Foz (P1, P2 e P3) e aconteceram mensalmente por nove meses. Os macroinvertebrados coletados foram levados ao laboratório para trigem e identificação dos insetos. Foram identificados insetos das ordens Hemiptera, Odonata, Tricoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera e Ephemeroptera, totalizando 114 insetos. A ordem que se destacou em quantidade foi a Hemiptera. Em relação aos insetos que são sensíveis às alterações do ambiente, Tricoptera, Ephemeroptera e os Plecoptera, somente 4,33% dos insetos coletados são representantes dessas ordens num índice de EPT que classifica a água dos locais estudados com qualidade ruim. De acordo com os índices BMWP/ASPT, o P1 apresentou água com qualidade provavelmente poluída, e os pontos P2 e P3, apresentaram qualidade duvidosa.

O estudo busca analisar a eficiência do processo de orçamentação da receita pública, sobretudo as receitas do IPTU, e do ISS, em 77 municípios da RF-7, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. A pesquisa compreendeu os anos de 2001 a 2019. Para mensurar o nível de eficiência no processo de orçamentação das receitas foi calculado a Margem de Acerto (MA) média, os municípios foram organizados em dois grupos, seguindo a distinção deliberada pela LRF, conforme estimativa populacional do IBGE de 2017. Pôde-se averiguar, por meio do teste da Análise de Variância (ANOVA), se as margens de acerto médias entre os municípios de cada um dos grupos, são estatisticamente diferentes, além disso, através da análise de cluster, os municípios com margens de acerto médias homogêneas foram agrupados, independentemente de seu quantitativo populacional. Os resultados do estudo indicam que existe um baixo nível de eficiência no processo de orçamentação das receitas para a maioria dos municípios independente de sua estratificação, o que pode trazer um desempenho negativo para a gestão, pela falta de racionabilidade no estabelecimento das prioridades governamentais e a assunção de compromissos sem a respectiva disponibilidade financeira.

In all critically ill patients, the first objective should always be to preserve life and prevent or minimize damage to vital organs such as the brain and kidneys. The introduction of mechanical ventilation into neonatal intensive care units improved the survival of sick newborn. Assisted ventilation has revolutionized the outcome of sick newborn in NICUs. It is one of the most important advancements in neonatal medicine which achieves reduction in neonatal mortality. The aim of this study is to study the predictors that influence the mortality rates among mechanically ventilated neonates with the objectives to study the various predictors of mortality of mechanically ventilated neonates and to determine the various complications associated with ventilation and their effect on outcome of neonates. Results : Out of the 83 neonates who were included in the analysis, 50(60.25%) expired and 33 survived(39.75%). Factors which showed significance among those died were mean age, weight, mean gestational age, initial arterial pH, PaO2, PaCO2, duration of ventilation and duration of hospital stay.

Published: May 2022

Background: Airway instrumentation leads to an aggravated hemodynamic response due to increased sympathetic activity, imposing a risk of myocardial ischemia. A premedication regimen using fentanyl and pregabalin blunts the pressure response but not the rate response. Objective: To compare the effects of pregabalin and fentanyl regimen versus pregabalin, fentanyl, and dexmedetomidine regimen on the hemodynamic pressor response during airway instrumentation in laparoscopic abdominal surgery (LAS). Methods: Sixty patients (ASA I and II), undergoing elective LASunder general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 2 groups - Group A (n=30) premedicated with oral pregabalin (150mg) and IV fentanyl (2μg/kg) and Group B (n=30) premedicated with IV dexmedetomidine (0.25μg/kg) in addition to pregabalin-fentanyl regimen. Both groups were managed with the same anesthetic protocol. The preoperative sedation level was assessed before induction. The heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic BP (SBP, DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were recorded at baseline as well as preoperatively, prior to intubation and at 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15 min after intubation. Results: Both groups had similar distribution of age, weight, gender, physical status, sedation level as well as intra-operative fentanyl and postoperative analgesic requirements.
