Learner Autonomy and its Demands on the Teacher
Authors: Töchterle Anita
Published: November 2021

Academic research exists on the manifold aspects of learner autonomy. At the same time, its implications for teacher development as well as the teacher’s own experience and idea of autonomy did not receive the attention they would have deserved. In this article, I intend to look more closely at what is required from the teacher who wants to foster learner autonomy in his/her classroom. On the basis of literature research, I identify three dimensions the teacher should consider when trying to support autonomous behavior in his/her learners. I will then move on to explore how these dimensions can be combined with my day-to-day routine as a language teacher attempting to implement aspects of learner autonomy at a technically-oriented higher education institution. Although this professional setting offers me a high degree of freedom in my teaching, there are also some limitations. Bearing these in mind, I will conclude with some advice on what we can do as language teachers to foster autonomy in our learners.
Promoting Autonomous Language Learning in Online Environments
Authors: De Santo Maria , Boardman Luisa
Published: November 2021

The Self-Access Language Centre of the University of Naples “L’Orientale” (CILA) promotes the development of autonomy in language learning, offering a wide range of technology-based resources and a language counselling service. In the last few years, to satisfy the growing need for independent language learning in our university, we have integrated autonomous learning in the SAC with online pathways and multimedia materials. We started by offering online Self-Access activities in blended courses, integrating face-to-face classroom teaching with online modules. This experiment enabled us to develop a kind of blended autonomous learning, combining a real-life SAC with online Self-Access Centres. Virtual SACs suggest a variety of language learning activities and allow learners to study a language while reflecting on their learning process. In the online SAC, language counsellors implement the language learner’s autonomy promoted in presence in the SAC, interacting with them through computer-mediated communication. In this paper we shall look at how the promotion of autonomy in language learning can be enhanced through the integration of technology-based materials and activities made available in self-access modality. Our aim is to present online resources designed to help students learn a foreign language autonomously.

Inquiring into the Nature of Beliefs: Implications for Learner Autonomy Reflection and Practice
Authors: Brewer Stephen
Published: November 2021

Human brains are prolific producers of thoughts about the world. One category of such thoughts, known as beliefs, is seen to play a key role in guiding human behavior. There is much current debate, however, about what beliefs actually are, i.e., their ontological status, and how second language acquisition researchers should go about conceptualizing and studying them. This article is an attempt to address this debate and ask what its implications could be for teachers interested in learner autonomy.
Systemic Autonomy as an Educational Factor for Learners and Teachers
Authors: Tatzl Dietmar
Published: November 2021

This contribution attempts to introduce a systemic view of autonomy. The author argues that systemic autonomy depends on structures, procedures and regulations that are in force at organisations and that can either hinder or promote autonomy. The article reviews traces of systemic autonomy in the literature and develops a descriptive framework of the concept. It presents a scale containing nine indicators for measuring an institution’s degree of systemic autonomy, which teachers may easily apply to their own context. The article also includes recommendations for encouraging autonomy in restrictive environments. The author further compares his experiences from two different higher-education institutions: as a teacher at a university of applied sciences and as a learner at a university. The observations gained from this comparison lead to the conclusion that the influence of organisational systems cannot be ignored when expecting autonomy to unfold.
The Development of a Dyslexic Learner in the Autonomy Classroom - a Case Study
Authors: Legenhausen Lienhard
Published: November 2021

Dyslexia has been studied and researched for many decades now, but the underlying causes still remain unknown. There are a host of competing theories many of which focus on various forms of neurobiological impairment. Since therapies would have to start out from the identification of an underlying cause, this means that most treatments are based on speculative theorizing. The more authoritative studies argue the point that dyslexia is a stable condition. This means that the most promising path towards supporting dyslexic learners would be to set up a learning environment in which their personality and especially their self-esteem can develop in a climate of mutual trust and respect. The article summarizes the content of a specific psychological program for developing self-esteem and compares its recommendations with what happens in the autonomy classroom. The logbook entries of a severe dyslexic learner testify to the fact that she feels accepted and respected by teacher and classmates alike, which augurs well for her linguistic development. Text samples covering a span of five years give evidence of a successful learning undertaking.
Supporting Learner Autonomy in the University Classroom: A Personal Account
Authors: Burkert Anja
Published: November 2021

In this practice-oriented paper I will report on how I personally try to develop and promote the autonomy of my students in my English language classes at Graz University. I will begin by pointing out a number of constraints with which I am faced in my particular teaching and learning context, and which, at first sight, seem to rule out the establishment of a learner-centred classroom environment involving students actively in relevant decision-making processes. I will then discuss, in some detail, those aspects of a pedagogy for autonomy which I have been introducing over the years to encourage my students to take on a more active role in their learning: learner diaries, peer-reviewing sessions, a seating arrangement in groups of four, and self-evaluation tasks/progress checks before exams. I will also reproduce in my paper short extracts from learner diaries and peer-reviewed texts produced by my students, and an example of a self-evaluation task/progress check. I will conclude by stressing that for me personally the discovery of the concept of learner autonomy was an invaluable experience, influencing my whole approach to teaching and learning.

The Compensation and Efficiency Hypotheses: New Evidence for Turkey With Rals Cointegration and Bootstrap Causality Tests
Authors: Kılıçarslan Zerrin , Dumrul Cüneyt , Dumrul Yasemin
Published: November 2021

Along with openness and globalization, the risks and uncertainties faced by countries are also increasing. Government expenditures are one of the important policy tools used to minimize the effects of these risks. Increases and decreases in government expenditures due to openness and globalization are examined in the literature within the framework of compensation and efficiency hypotheses. In this study, the validity of Turkey's compensation and efficiency hypotheses was examined using annual data for the period 1970-2018 and RALS co-integration and bootstrap causality tests. In the analyzes, it is estimated whether both trade openness and globalization affect government expenditures. In the study, results have been reached to support the efficiency hypothesis, which states that the increase in trade openness negatively affects government expenditures. The compensation hypothesis states that the increase in globalization increases government expenditures. In addition, according to the results of the bootstrap causality test, it was found that there is a one-way causality relationship from trade openness to government expenditures.

Polymorphism of quantitative traits of hellebore green (Helleborus viridis L.)
Authors: Aniskina Tatiana , Nakonechnaya Darya , Simakhin Maxim , Donskikh Vitaly
Published: November 2021

Hellebores in a number of countries are economically important ornamental crops, and these plants are also sources of glycosides used for medicinal purposes. In the literary sources, it was not possible to find information on the variability of the traits of Helleborus viridis L., and this must be known for directed plant breeding. Therefore, the aim of this work is to analyze the polymorphism of quantitative traits in hellebore green in the collection of the Tsytsin Main Botanical Garden (Moscow, Russia). Quantitative data collection was carried out in 2021. There were 20 traits, including 2 traits of plant habit, 8 traits of a leaf, 6 for a flower and 4 for a fruit. Statistical processing of the data was carried out using the calculation of the coefficients of variation and carrying out one-way analysis of variance. It was found that a high percentage of polymorphism falls on the parameters of the leaf, and a low variability - in the traits of a flower and a fruit. Features of the genotype affect the parameters of leaves by 20-30%, and no significant effect on other parameters was found.

Achievement motivation in orofacial myology
Authors:   Stephen F. Austin State University, Jeffrey David
Published: November 2021

The motivation to achieve in oral myofunctional therapy may be determined in large measure by the clarity with which the client perceives the therapy program. When the path to a goal is clear the goal is perceived as attainable and the motivation to achieve the goal is heightened. The lack of clarity, however, may result in confusion and deflated motivation. The clinican's role in increasing and sustaining client motivation by shaping the client's perception of the process of goal attainment is discussed.

Published: November 2021

A longitudinal, analytical, and treatment oriented case study is presented describing the effects of a medication-induced impairment of neurological function. The subject is an elderly, Caucasian, female whose presenting symptoms included spasmodic (eyelid movement; lack of muscle tone and control for specific muscles of the head and neck region; generalized hyperactivity; plus distortion of speech and deglutition. Clinical investigation determined that the subject's timed release antihistamine medication was the primary etiological factor in the presenting symptoms. Discontinuation of the medication resulted in a decrease, but not complete remission, of the symptoms. Clinical evaluation of the residual speech impairment included intensive therapy which was only minimally successful in reducing propositional speech distortion. The patient's neuropathy was inferred to be suprabulbar in site as a result of the speech analysis which is described as a reliable diagnostic aid in evaluation of severity of this type of neurological pathology. During the eight years of observation of this subject, documentation of the impairment was made by means of various media. Some of the results of this documentation accompany the study.
The effect of airway interference on the growth and development of the face, jaws, and dentition
Authors: Joseph Renate
Published: November 2021

Two criteria of great importance for the well­being of most humans are good health and appearance. This paper is an attempt to examine the effect of allergies on both those criteria as far as the growth and development of the face and dentition are concerned. A review of the literature shows that allergies are responsible for nasorespiratory blockage either through congestion of the nasal mucous membranes or through the hypertrophy of tonsils and adenoids. Several articles report the incidence and age of onset of these phenomena. The development of immunocompetent lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx is correlated with the growth of the nasopharyngeal area. An imbalance in the equilibrium of differential growth of these organs can result in mouth breathing. This paper will examine the consequences of mouth breathing as documented in studies performed on experimental animals, and as seen in clinical examinations of children. The review of the literature will also show that upon treatment of the allergic condition or surgical removal of the excessive tonsil and adenoid tissues it was found that the restoration of nasal breathing reduced the malformations present and resulted in a tendency towards normalization of health and appearance.
Myofunctional therapy and facial cosmesis: Position paper
Authors: Case James
Published: November 2021

Conclusion: ln summary, until speculation is verified or rejected by data, I will continue to. emphasize in therapy the cosmetic and psychosocial benefits of improved oral posturing. I have found this emphasis to be particularly motivating with my teenage clients. These psychosocial benefits can be coupled with the more physical considerations reported by Rubin ( 1980) in his article titled: "Mode of respiration and facial growth." Those of us who struggle rather constantly to improve tongue resting postures in our patients, when no significant physiological basis exists for the poor habit, can perhaps be greatly aided by appealing to the vanity most people possess. Perhaps the background provided by this paper regarding hu­man judgment of facial cosmesis and other psycho­social attributes will provide some foundation for this aspect of your therapy.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders - An Overview
Authors:   Duke University Medical Center, Dolan Edward
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Disorders of the temporomandibular joint may be extrinsic (muscular), intrinsic (dysfunctional), or a combination of both. An accurate differential diagnosis based on correlation of the clinical and radiographic findings is essential. A multi-disciplinary approach is necessary if thorough and proper treatment is to be rendered. Unfortunately many patients with these disorders do not know where to seek treatment, and as a result go untreated. Orofacial myologists by their very definition should be cognizant of temporomandibular joint problems, in order that the appropriate referral be made.

Influence of respiratory pattern on craniofacial growth
Authors: McNamara James
Published: November 2021

Mouth breathing is an inevitable result of obstruction of the nasal airway. Associated changes in mandibular posture and the function of related muscles have long been postulated to cause undesirable changes in facial growth. Evidence for such a cause­effect relationship is reviewed and illustrated with clinical records.
Orthognathic surgery: A clinical update
Authors:   Duke University Medical Center, Dolan Edward , Riski John , Mason Robert
Published: November 2021

Summary: Surgical correction of dentofacial deformities may produce dramatic results. It is essential that a thorough pre-operative evaluation be performed. Therefore a close working relationship between the oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the orthodontist is essential, however consultation with other professionals is mandatory. Among these are the general dentist, family physician, psychologist, speech clinician and myofunctional therapist. An overview of orthognathic surgery has been presented in order to familiarize the myofunctional clinician with these procedures, so that functional patterns both prior to and after surgical repositioning can be properly evaluated and treated.
Effect of oral screen treatment on dentition, lip morphology, and function in children with incompetent lips
Authors: Owman-Moll Py , Ingervall Bengt ,   University of Bern, Switzerland
Published: November 2021

The effect of treatment with an oral screen was studied in sixteen children with incompetent lips who were compared with a control group of sixteen children who also had incompetent lips. The period of observation was I year. The treatment brought about retroclination of proclined maxillary incisors with a resulting decrease in overjet, in the diastema between the in­cisors, and in arch length. The mandibular incisors proclined somewhat. No change in general intermaxillary relation or in arch width was observed with the treatment. Neither lip morphology nor the electromyo­graphically recorded function of the lips was affected by the treatment. The maximum force that the lips could exert to resist an external force was increased substantially by the treatment. Whether this is of value for the stability of the orthodontic treatment result is not known. [Reprinted with permission from American Journal of Orthodontics, January 1984]
Improving Student Retention by Providing Targeted Support to University Students who do not Submit an Early Assessment Item
Authors: Linden Kelly
Published: November 2021

The Charles Sturt University Retention Team has developed, tested, evaluated, and refined a retention model through 14 action-research cycles from 2017-2021. The project has expanded from a small pilot in one faculty to monitoring the engagement and submission of an early assessment item for over 70% of all commencing undergraduate students across the University. The Retention Model synergistically overlays curriculum design and student support and ensures academics embed best practice transition pedagogy and learning engagement activities into key first-year subjects. By monitoring the submission of early assessment items, the team can accurately identify and proactively contact students who are not engaged in their studies prior to their first census date. Every aspect of this program supports equity student groups that are over-represented at our regional university. This work has significantly improved commencing progress rates across the institution.
SİYASİ PARTİ KAPATMA DAVALARINDA AİHM KARARI SEBEBİYLE YARGILAMANIN YENİLENMESİNİ YENİDEN DÜŞÜNMEK

Published: November 2021

Ceza yargılamasında olağanüstü bir kanun yolu olan yargılamanın yenilenmesi sebepleri arasına 2002 yılında AİHM’in verdiği ihlal kararları eklenmiştir. Siyasi parti kapatma davalarında ceza yargılaması hükümlerinin uygulanması sebebiyle AİHM’in verdiği ihlal kararları, kapatma davalarında yargılamanın yenilenmesi sebebi olarak kabul edilmiştir. Fakat Anayasa Mahkemesi, kapatma davalarında yargılamanın yenilenmesi başvuruları neticesinde kapatma kararını değiştirmeme yönünde tutum sergilemiştir. 2010 anayasa değişikliği ile Anayasa Mahkemesi’ne bireysel başvuruları karara bağlama görevi verilmesi ile Anayasa Mahkemesi’ne AİHM içtihatları konusunda özel bir misyon yüklenmiştir. Ayrıca 2011 tarih ve 6216 sayılı kanun ile AİHM’in, Anayasa Mahkemesinin siyasi parti kapatma kararının AİHS’ni ihlali suretiyle verildiğine hükmetmesi hâlinde yargılamanın yenilenmesi talebinde bulunabileceği açıkça düzenlenmiştir. Bireysel başvuru neticesinde hak ihlali kararı verilmesi durumunda yeniden yargılama mahkemesinin Anayasa Mahkemesi kararında açıklanan ihlali ve sonuçlarını ortadan kaldırmaması durumlarında Anayasa Mahkemesi’nin ortaya koyduğu irade, kapatma davalarında yargılamanın yenilenmesi talepleri üzerinde tekrar düşünülmesini gerektirmektedir.

Authors: FAROOQ Miito , AHMED Rahma
Published: November 2021

This research gives a snapshot of how classroom management practices impact on learners’ academic achievement. The research evaluated three sub constructs of classroom management namely classroom organization, classroom discipline and classroom instructional methods as predictors of leaners’ academic achievement. To attain the goal of this research, two hundred fifty-five (N=255) respondents randomly chosen from two public secondary schools participated in this study, Data was collected from the volunteer using 29 items adopted and adapted from the previous studies analyzed on this subject. A five- point Likert scale oscillating from strongly agree (1), to strongly disagree (5) was employed in this study. Simple and multiple linear regression technique was used in data analysis. The research findings generated from the empirical cross-sectional survey using simple linear regression indicated that classroom organization offered a prediction rate of .041% on learners’ academic achievement hence no significant relationship (.514). However, the other two sub variables namely classroom discipline and classroom instructional methods were significant (.000). Classroom discipline contributed .59% and classroom instructional methods was .56% towards learners’ academic achievement. Using multiple linear regression, the results further revealed that the model of classroom management and learners’ academic achievement deemed fit for the data and represent the intention of the study well.

KÜRESELLEŞMENİN KENTLERİN EKONOMİK GELİŞİMLERİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ: TR 72 BÖLGESİ İLLERİ AÇISINDAN BİR KARŞILAŞTIRMA
Authors: BİLGİLİ Feride Fatma
Published: November 2021

Küreselleşme olgusu ekonomik, politik ve sosyo-kültürel açılardan tüm dünya ülkelerini etkilemektedir. Ticaretin ve sermaye hareketliliğinin hız kazandığı bu sürece, ülkeler ve kentler farklı biçimlerde eklemlenmiştir. Kentlerin kapitalist küresel sisteme farklı biçimlerde eklemlenmesi, onların eşitsiz ekonomik gelişmesine yol açmaktadır. Küresel sisteme eklemlenebilen ve ulusal/uluslararası sermayeyi çekebilme başarısı elde eden kentler ekonomik bakımdan ilerleme gösterirken sisteme eklemlenemeyen kentler ise geride kalmaktadır. Bu durum ülkeler arası ya da bölgeler arası düzeyde eşitsizlik biçiminde görülebileceği gibi aynı bölgedeki iller arasında da eşitsizlik biçiminde görülebilmektedir. Bu durumun en iyi örnekleyen il gruplarından biri de TR 72 Bölgesinde bulunan Kayseri, Sivas ve Yozgat’tır. Bu illerin küresel sisteme farklı düzeylerde eklemlenmesi nedeniyle eşit düzeyde gerçekleşmeyen sermaye birikim süreçlerinin eşitsiz ekonomik gelişmeye yol açıyor olması çalışmanın hipotezini oluşturmaktadır. Bu ön kabulden hareketle Kayseri, Sivas ve Yozgat illerinin küresel sistem ile olan ilişki becerilerinin ekonomik yansımaları istatistiki veriler doğrultusunda ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre Sivas ve Yozgat illeri ekonomik gelişmişlik açısından, küresel sermaye için bir çekim merkezi haline gelen Kayseri ilinin gölgesinde kalmışlardır. Çalışmanın, Kayseri, Sivas ve Yozgat illerinin ekonomik düzeylerini küresel sistemle olan ilişkileri bağlamında ele alması bakımından literatüre katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
SOSYAL HİZMET ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN İNSAN HAKLARI EĞİTİMİNE YÖNELİK TUTUMLARININ İNCELENMESİ: HACETTEPE ÜNİVERSİTESİ ÖRNEĞİ

Published: November 2021

Sosyal hizmet mesleği referansları ve özü itibariyle bir insan hakları mesleğidir. Özellikle hak bilincinin ve sosyal hakların gelişmesiyle sosyal hizmetlerin tesisinde en temel paradigma hak temelli yaklaşım olmuştur. Sosyal hizmet ile insan hakları arasındaki bu ilişki itibariyle sosyal hizmet öğrencilerinin insan hakları eğitimine yönelik tutumları bu çalışmada incelenmek istenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Karaman-Kepenekçi (1999) tarafından geliştirilen İnsan Hakları Eğitimine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (İHEYTÖ) ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanmış olan sosyo-demografik bilgi formu kullanılarak Hacettepe Üniversitesi Sosyal Hizmet Bölümü öğrencisi 269 kişiden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırmada tarama modeli ve sınıf bazında tabakalı örneklem yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veriler üzerinde yapılan analiz çalışmalarında verilerin normal dağılmadığı tespit edilmiş ve bu nedenle de veriler üzerinde non-parametrik analizler yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına bakıldığında, çoğunlukla öğretmen adaylarıyla İHEYTÖ kullanılarak yapılan araştırmalara göre bu araştırmada sosyal hizmet bölümü öğrencilerinin ölçek puanlarının daha yüksek çıktığı, kadın öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre daha yüksek puan aldığı, insan haklarıyla ilgili ders almış olma durumuna göre İHEYTÖ puanlarının anlamı bir şekilde farklılaştığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca ilköğretim ve ortaöğretim dönemlerinde alınan insan hakları temalı derslerin kalıcı olmadığı görülmektedir. Bulgular insan hakları eğitiminin sosyal hizmetteki önemini gösterir niteliktedir.

Günümüzde işletmelerin sürdürülebilirliği için müşterileri ile uzun dönemli ilişki kurması önemlidir. İlişkisel pazarlama faaliyetleri uzun dönemli ilişkinin yaratılmasında kilit rol oynamaktadır. İş birliği, ilişkisel pazarlamanın başarısı için önemli bir unsurdur. Bu sebeple işletmelerin tedarikçileri ile kurdukları iş birliğinin düzeyini sürekli olarak gözden geçirmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, güven ve bağlılığın iş birliği düzeyine; iş birliğinin ise iş birliği sonrası performansa olan etkisini belirlemektir. Ayrıca çalışmada, güven ve bağlılığı etkileyen faktörleri de ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, oluşturulan anketler TRB2 bölgesinde 181 firmaya uygulanmış ve araştırma kapsamında belirlenen hipotezler kısmi en küçük kareler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (PLS-SEM) ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre güven ve ilişki bağlılığının iş birliği düzeyinin iki önemli belirleyicisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. İş birliği düzeyinin ise iş birliği performansını olumlu etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada ilişkiyi sonlandırma maliyeti ve edinim sonrası fayda değişkenlerinin ilişki bağlılığı üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi ortaya konmuştur. İlişki politika ve uygulamaları ve sağlıklı iletişim ve bilgi değişiminin güveni olumlu yönde; fırsatçı davranışların ise güveni olumsuz yönde etkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ürün fiyatları düzeyi ile ilişki bağlılığı arasında ilişki bulunamamıştır.

Ekonomik büyüme ile dış ticaretin yakın bir etkileşim içerisinde olduğu görüşü, uygulamalı literatürde son yıllarda sıkça ele alınan konulardan biridir. Yapılan çalışmalarda ekonomik büyüme ile dış ticaret (ihracat, ithalat) ilişkisi farklı boyutlarda araştırma konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Gümrük Birliği sonrasında Türkiye’de dış ticaret ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla; dış ticareti temsilen ihracat ve ithalat değişkenlerine ait veriler, ekonomik büyümeyi temsilen ise GSYİH değişkenine ait veriler 1996-2019 dönemini kapsayacak şekilde yıllık olarak ele alınmıştır. Ekonomik büyüme, ithalat ve ihracat değişkenlerinin artış miktarları ele alınarak eşbütünleşme ve nedensellik ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuç ihracata dayalı büyüme varsayımını destekler niteliktedir. Birim kök testleri uygulanan seriler seviye değerinde durağan değilken I(1) düzeyinde durağan hale gelmiş ve Johansen eşbütünleşme testi ile incelenmiştir. Seriler arasında uzun dönemde bir eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Granger ikili nedensellik testi sonucunda ise ihracattan ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.

According to the Turkish Accounting Standards, it has been stated that impairment test must be done to report declines in the value of goodwill. The aim of this study is to put forward the impairment (value lowness) implementations of businesses related to goodwill in Turkey. Accordingly, the content of the reports on the goodwill in the companies which were traded in BIST (Istanbul Stock Exchange) between the years 2018 – 2020 has been analyzed. At the end of the research, it has been found out that some companies corrected their goodwill values according to the impairment test results. Nevertheless, it has also been identified that many companies drew their reports by going for a reduction in goodwill value without carrying out an impairment test. Optional non-standard implementations can cause errors and wrong judgements by decision makers. In order to eliminate this negative situation, compulsory, simple, understandable, and lower cost arrangements are needed in the Accounting standards.

Medicinal plants have varying natural products and several antioxidants. Antioxidants play a principal function to protect against destruction caused by oxidative stress (OS), Rheum emodi is not an exception, in which it is reported to have compounds that possess antioxidant activity, like polyphenolic compounds. In addition to that, other compounds have proven to have antidiabetic, antimicrobial, antifungal, cytotoxic, hepatoprotective, and nephroprotective activities. This study aimed to quantify the water extract of a powdered plant of R. emodi to evaluate its ability to scavage free radicals. Total phenolic, total flavonoid contents, and reducing ability were measured to consider possible sources of future novel antioxidants in plants. The TPC, TFC, and reducing power assay increased with increasing concentrations of R. emodi. At 1000 µg/ml, the absorbance ranged from 1.437 for TPC, 1.602 for TFC, and 1.638 for reducing power assay, which is more than the absorbance of the standards at the same concentration. The extracted content of reducing power, phenolic, and flavonoid compounds were higher than the standard pyrogallol, quercetin, and ascorbic acid.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost every country worldwide, including all 22 Arab countries. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to follow the prevalence of COVID-19 in all Arab countries. In this review, we aimed to assess the 12-month prevalence of COVID-19 in Arab countries and to compare these findings with other significantly affected countries. World Health Organization, Worldometer, and Ministries of Health websites were used to search for COVID-19 data in all Arab countries. The period covered started from February 2020 to February 2021. In all Arab countries, the median age of the population was 26.25 years. As of March 01, 2021, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in all Arab countries was 4,259,756. Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait, and United Arab Emirates had the highest reported number of confirmed COVID-19 cases per million population. The total number of COVID-19 deaths was 72,950, with predominance in Lebanon, followed by Tunisia, Jordan, Palestine, and Iraq. In comparison with the topmost affected countries, and based on both the highest number of confirmed and deaths per million population, Arab countries ranked second last before India, with 9,646 and 165 cases, respectively. Among the Arab countries, Qatar, Bahrain, and Lebanon showed the highest number of recovered, confirmed, and death cases per million populations, respectively. The number of confirmed and death cases among all Arab countries triggered significant worries about morbidity and mortality of COVID-19, respectively. However, the younger population in Arab countries may have contributed to fewer COVID-19 deaths in comparison with the topmost affected countries.
