Representation through interdiscursive references: A systemic functional (re)construction of Malala Yousufzai’s identity on Pakistani social media
Authors: Rizwan Snobra , Hakimi Hafiz Abdul Haseeb , Bhatti Muzzafar Qadir
Published: August 2022

This article focuses on the way the identity of a particular person is (re)constructed by different groups of a society. For this purpose, this article takes the case study of Malala Yousafzai and discusses how her identity is (re)constructed and (mis)represented by different groups on Pakistani social media through particular discursive choices. For this purpose, it particularly focuses on interdiscursivity, and integrates it with systemic functional representation. The social media users construct Malala Yousafzai’s identity in such a way that the past events of her life are constantly (re)echoed and foregrounded in order to interpret her identity at present. Moreover, the past events of her life are recontexualized through implicit and explicit interdiscursive references.

Authors: Muzmmal Haider  , Yasmin Farhana , Ashraf Sharjeel
Published: August 2022

In the present era of technology, cyber-bullying on social media is a rising concern all over the world. The current study aims at exploring the language used by bullies among university students on social media especially Facebook and Instagram so as to unfold how bullies exploit their fellows for dominance. The data was collected from five students of the university with the age ranging from 20-25 years. The participants provided the data in the form of screenshots of the chats. For the analysis of the data, Van Dijk’s three-dimensional model was used to analyze the discourse on three levels: text, social cognition, and social context in the context of the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis. The results and discussion revealed that the bullies exploited the victims via their language to achieve certain goals which included blackmailing and making the victims feel inferior by targeting their weak points. The study concluded that the bullies targeted the weaker fellows in the circle and maintained an imbalance of power by using harsh, offensive, abusive, and target-specific words. The victims faced despair, nervousness, hopelessness, insecurity, and in some cases psychological pressure leading to suicidal behavior.
Unraveling Proprietorial Patriarchal Structures: A Study of Sidhwa’s The Bride
Authors: Anwar Behzad , Shamshad Rasool  , Saiqa Imtiaz Asif
Published: August 2022

This study intends to find out the position of women living in Pakistan during the process of their self-discovery and search for identity to become strong enough for an honourable survival. The study has been conducted through a textual analysis of Sidhwa’s novel The Bride while focusing on language, different customs and events represented by the author to highlight the patriarchal structures. The study also examines that women have been treated as commodities and objects without caring for their desires. Their disrespect of patriarchal notions may deprive them of existence as human beings. It pinpoints that women are oppressed, subjugated and marginalized through patriarchal structures rampant in the society like marriage, family and the concept of hounour. Any struggle to get liberation from oppression results in sexist violence.
THE ROLE OF PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS IN OPTIMIZING THE COMPOSITION OF THE INTESTINAL MICROBIOME OF ATHLETES
Authors: Kobelkova I. , Korostelova M. , Kobelkova M.
Published: August 2022

The core advantage of probiotics is to ensure a quantitative and qualitative balance between commensal, opportunistic and conditionally pathogenic bacteria of the microflora. Another function is to neutralize the activity of pathogenic intestinal flora coming from contaminated food and the environment. The positive effect of probiotics on the processes of digestion, the course of food allergies, candidiasis, and dental caries has been confirmed. Probiotic microorganisms such as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus reuteri, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum synthesize B vitamins, increase the efficiency of the immunological system, and enhance the absorption of macro- and micronutrients. Probiotic microorganisms synthesize a number of enzymes such as esterase, lipase and coenzymes A, Q, NAD and NADP. Some products of probiotic metabolism may also exhibit antibiotic (acidophilus, bacitracin, lactacin), anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties. Prebiotics are food substances that selectively stimulate the growth and biological activity of representatives of the protective microflora of the human intestine, helping to maintain its normal composition and biological activity when systematically consumed as part of food products.
Optimization of athletes’ diets through dietary supplements and SPP, which are a source of pro-, pre- or synbiotics, can provide a balanced qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microbiota, while the type of probiotic microorganisms and the chemical structure of prebiotics play an important role. One of the topical areas of nutritional correction of athletes' diets to maintain psycho-emotional stability and optimal performance is the use of microorganisms with a psychobiotic orientation.
Did the Classical World Know of Vampires?
Authors: Ogden Daniel
Published: August 2022

Did the classical world know of vampires? No. This piece asks instead what phenomenon of the classical world most closely anticipates the modern conceptualization of the vampire—a conceptualization extracted from the two classics of Victorian vampire fiction, Sheridan le Fanu’s Carmilla and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Consideration is given first to a series of ancient entities in later Greek literature that approach a simplistic definition of “returning from the dead and eating people”: Phlegon’s Philinnion and Polycritus, Pausanias’s Hero of Temesa, and Philostratus’s Lamia and Achilles. But it is then contended that if one considers the full sweep of motifs associated with the modern vampire in the round, a better overall alignment is to be found for it with the Roman figure of the strix-witch, as described by Ovid and Petronius and later on by John Damascene and Burchard of Worms, for all that she is not actually dead.

Published: August 2022

Background, One of the most popular surgical procedures, varicose vein surgery serves as a crucial teaching technique for aspiring surgeons. The great saphenous and short saphenous systems in the lower limbs, which are tortuous and dilated, are the veins most commonly affected by varicose veins. A vessel wall disease or valvular pathology is the cause of a varicose vein. People who work all day standing up typically have long-term effects. The Trendelenburg procedure involves several phlebotomies for the dilated veins below the knee, along with the juxta femoral flush ligation of saphenous veins and vein stripping up to below the knee. The less invasive radiofrequency ablation therapy has replaced the Trendelenburg method and is growing in popularity since it has fewer drawbacks. Venous tissue is thermally damaged when a high-frequency alternating current is employed to transmit electrical energy into the tissue. More research is needed to compare the Trendelenburg and radiofrequency in the chosen group with regard to early ambulation, early return to work, the severity of postoperative pain, recovery time, and complications. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study including 100 people with varicose veins was undertaken from June 2017 to July 2019 and lasted one year and eleven months.

Authors: Oliveira Francisco
Published: August 2022

A censura dos livros não é uma novidade na história das culturas humanas. Do Oriente ao Ocidente, muitos governos impuseram e praticaram a censura dos livros, impressos, panfletos e textos. As estratégias passavam pelo aumento dos impostos, o que encarecia o livro, ou mesmo, proibindo a população de ter acesso aos livros impressos, ou seja, às novas ideias que circulavam. O objetivo do nosso texto é refletir a partir da história dos excessos de poder praticados pelo Estado, assim, pretendemos fazendo uma linha temporal dos eventos proibitivos desde do período Colonial, passando pelo Império com a chegada da Família Real ao Rio de Janeiro e desaguando na República e passando pelos acontecimentos históricos – recentes – da Ditadura Militar, até nossos dias. A metodologia utilizada nessa pesquisa foi a revisão bibliográfica e consulta a alguns documentos que discutam sobre a censura de livros no Brasil, buscamos rever a literatura especializada que discutiu esse tema anteriormente.

Published: August 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é de analisar a memória e a identidade política da cidade de Guaratinguetá, no interior paulista, que permeiam o Solar Rangel de Camargo, construído em 1866. A casa protagonizou os eventos políticos mais significativos do Brasil entre 1870 e 1940, isto é, final do século dezenove e início do século passado. Tendo mudado várias vezes de dono – pois já está há mais de seis gerações com a família de João Baptista Rangel, tropeiro e cafeicultor paulista – o Solar recebe um carinho oriundo dos moradores citadinos, devido a sua importância histórica paraa cidade. Com a decadência do café, o casarão deixou de ser protagonista na vida da cidade e entrou de vez para a história do Vale do Paraíba, muitas das vezes, jogado no esquecimento do mundo contemporâneo. Para atingirmos nosso objetivo, torna-se importante revisitar sua história, desde as minuciosas atividades em seu cotidiano até sua contribuição para a política brasileira.

Effects of Isothermal Crystallization on Carrier Transport and Breakdown Characteristics of HDPE/LDPE Insulation
Authors: Yang Jingqiao
Published: August 2022

In this paper, the influence of the crystalline morphology of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/low density polyethylene (LDPE) blend on its electrical conductivity, breakdown performance and trap distribution were studied by using the method of isothermal crystallization. Five HDPE/LDPE blends were prepared by melt blending method, and they were cooled to 118°C for isothermal crystallization treatment for 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 min. The experimental results show that HDPE/LDPE blend with 10min isothermal crystallization time has the lowest conductivity at 70℃, and its conductivity-temperature dependence is also low. As the isothermal crystallization time increases from 0 to 10min, both the DC and AC breakdown strengths of HDPE/LDPE blend increase, and further increase the isothermal crystallization time to 20 and 40min, the breakdown performance of HDPE/LDPE blend decreases significantly. The aggregate structure of HDPE/LDPE blend is closely related to its electrical properties. When the isothermal crystallization time is 10 min, the HDPE/LDPE blend shows a denser crystalline morphology and introduces many of deep traps measured by the isothermal discharge current (IDC) method. Therefore, space charge accumulation and local electric field distortion in the dielectrics are reduced. Also, the breakdown field strength of the HDPE/LDPE blend is improved.

The purpose of the study was to determine whether the participating teachers increased their content knowledge of STEM concepts and content related to the environmental restoration, specifically in terms of New York Harbor and oyster restoration, by participating in a remote learning curriculum pilot. New York City public school teachers of grades 6 through 12 instructed their students in the remote learning computer science curriculum lessons for one semester. A reflective survey was administered to the teachers at the conclusion of the semester and the findings indicated that 89% of the participating teachers experienced an increase in their knowledge of STEM concepts and content related to harbor and oyster restoration. The study was limited by the element of time and the model can be augmented in future iterations by increasing the length of the study to a full year of school and across several grade levels.

This study was conducted targeting college students majoring in science and engineering, who were divided into an experimental group who took a humanities course and a control group who did not. After the experimental group took a humanities course, the brain wave activity of the frontal, parietal, temporal, and central regions of the two groups was measured using electroencephalography systems, and the electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms of the anterior cerebrum were comparatively analyzed. A total of 67 subjects participated in the experiment, with 36 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. According to the International 10-20 system, an international standard for EEG measurement, 7 electrodes (Cz, F3, F4, P3, P4, T3, T4) were attached to the cerebral scalp, and 2 reference electrodes were attached to both earlobes. These were attached after adjusting the resistance to the minimum value. The experimental group took a humanities course called "Understanding Beauty" for two hours twice a week over a period of 15 weeks. This course aimed to develop students’ imaginations to overcome a fact-centered world. After each lecture, the experimental group was asked to sit in a comfortable position with their eyes closed in a dark and quiet environment, and EEG measurements were started when their brain waveforms became stable. EEG measurements were also taken for the control group who did not take the course, at the same time and in the same manner. The measurements were conducted for about 10 minutes. The pattern in EEG changes between the two groups over time was analyzed by dividing them into alpha waves (8-13 Hz), theta waves (4-8 Hz), and beta waves (13-3 Hz). Based on the analysis results, for relative alpha waves, the difference between the mean vectors of all 7 variables was significant depending on the treatment (lecture attendance) (F(7, 59)=11.790, p<0.001). The variation over time between the experimental and control groups was significant (F(21,45)=3.575, p<0.001), indicating that there was an interaction effect between repeated measures and the groups. For relative beta waves, the difference between the mean vectors of all 7 variables was significant depending on the treatment (F(7, 59)=12.628, p<0.001). The variation over time between the two groups was significant (F(21,45)=3.388, p<0.001), suggesting that there was an interaction effect between repeated measures and the groups. For relative theta waves, the difference between the mean vectors of all 7 variables was significant depending on the treatment (F(7, 59)=5.301, p<0.001). The variation over time between the two groups was significant (F(21,45)=3.388, p<0.001), which means that there was an interaction effect between repeated measures and the groups.

In Ethiopia harvesting of cereal crops is one of the major attentive agricultural operations in agriculture production, which demands considerable amount of labours. The availability and cost of labour during wheat crop harvesting season are serious problems. It is therefore, essential to adopt the mechanical methods so that the timeliness in harvesting operation could be ensured and field losses are minimized to increase production on the farm. The objective of this study was to evaluate the field performance of self-propelled reaper-binder at farmer’s field. The effective field capacity of the reaper binder was found as 0.108 ha h-1 with a field efficiency of 84.65 per cent at operating speed of 2.55 km h-1. The fuel consumption was observed as 10.66 l ha-1. The total grain losses in reaper binder harvesting were 2.02% as compared to 3.30% with manual harvesting. The cost of harvesting with reaper binder and manual harvesting were 1,391.18 birr/ha and 2850birr per hectare. The harvesting cost of reaper binder was reduced by 48.82% compared to manual harvesting method with sickle.

Scholars in the community engagement field have long discussed measures to sustain community engagement on campus. When COVID-19 emerged, however, university operations, including community-engaged teaching and research, had to pivot. The conversation was no longer about sustaining community engagement but about enduring the pandemic for the sake of students, faculty, and community. In order to inform a more durable community engagement strategy for the postpandemic world, we apply a sensemaking approach for the purpose of organizational learning. We collected quantitative data about 40 planned courses and surveyed 22 community-engaged faculty from April to August 2020 (spring–summer academic quarters). In the same period, we gathered qualitative data from 41 respondents comprising 28 faculty and 13 community partners. The quantitative analysis suggested that, overall, faculty maintained a positive outlook regarding the strategies they used to address the needs of students and community partners and regarding their own expectations and innovations. The qualitative data revealed seven themes—loss and challenge, future uncertainty, action strategies, communication strategies, technology, collaborative resilience, and student considerations—that can help us consider community engagement through the lenses of experience, adaptation, and sustainability. The insights provided here offer ways to improve durability within sustainable community engagement practices.
The Role and Value of Research Outputs in Coproducing Research With Communities
Authors: Barke Jenny
Published: August 2022

Coproduced research aims to bring university researchers, community members, and organizations together to create new knowledge, share findings, and develop meaningful research outputs. While there is a growing body of work exploring the processes and methods of coproduction, little attention has been paid to the role and value of the outputs of coproduced research. This article addresses this gap in the literature by considering the value and role of a range of outputs developed via a coproduced community history research project. This article suggests that research outputs fulfill a number of key functions in addition to disseminating findings. Research outputs help collaborators make sense of a project and support the development of research skills and knowledge. Developing outputs also provides space to recognize individual interests and skills, build a collective vision, and help people recognize their own expertise. The article argues that research outputs are fundamental to the process of coproducing research, not simply its end result, and suggests that coproduced research outputs should be viewed as a site of research practice and knowledge production.

The Florida Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) Impact Project focuses on improving the developmental health of infants and young children by supporting place-based community initiatives through a Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (CoIIN) approach. The CoIIN is a multidisciplinary team that fosters collaboration and coordination among agencies and community residents. A team at the University of South Florida conducted an independent evaluation of the ECCS Impact Project in Liberty City (LC), Miami, Florida, starting with a community assessment to gain a better understanding of local assets, needs and priorities. This community assessment was completed in collaboration with LC ECCS. Across the first two years of the initiative, the community assessment included methods such as geographic information system mapping; attending and planning meetings; conducting focus groups with parents, residents, and community providers; engaging in virtual and walking tours; and hosting interactive mapping workshops. The multimethod approach contributed to a community assessment that was comprehensive and holistic and that encompassed multiple perspectives. Results of the process included authentic engagement across community sectors and levels of influence and learning and reflection on community strengths, resources, and priorities to facilitate organization for positive change.

The Cooperative Extension System, a component of every land-grant university, is well positioned to take a leadership role in community engagement in every state. In Florida, a new program called Community Voices, Informed Choices (CIVIC) builds capacity among county and state faculty from the state’s two land-grant universities to engage community members in the process of resolving contentious issues through democratic governance. CIVIC strengthens partnerships with historically underserved communities, offers programs and activities to promote deliberative discussion, and facilitates interest in moving toward solutions. Case studies from three communities illustrate the CIVIC process and demonstrate how Extension faculty help communities help themselves.
