Authors: Abade Jude Opiyo , Onyango Dr. Pamela Oloo , Jackline Dr. Okello
Published: February 2022

In Kenya, the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Orange Democratic Movement (henceforth referred to as ODM) leader, Raila Odinga, on 9th March, 2018 elicited diverse discourse on the phenomenon. The print media was replete with the discourse on the Uhuru-Raila handshake. This particular handshake ostensibly surpassed the traditional social purview of handshakes as polite greetings. Its conceptualization by Kenyans definitely eluded the precinct of handshakes as greeting occurrences hence the extensive discourse on it. The purpose of the paper was to evaluate the effect of the handshake on the perception of Kenyans by undertaking an analysis of the handshake discourse in Kenya’s print media. The study was guided by Systemic Functional Grammar theory by Halliday (1975). The study adopted analytical research design and data was qualitatively analysed as per the tenets of the aforementioned theory. The study concluded that the Uhuru-Raila handshake had significant influence on the perception of Kenyans on socio-economic and political issues in the country.
Multivalence and Relevance of the Myth of Don Quixote
Authors: Shikha Dr. Mala
Published: February 2022

Cervantes published the two volumes of his masterpiece Don Quixote in early 17th century that came to be known as the first modern novel as well as a precursor to the postmodern novel. This book is considered as a canon in Western literary tradition and is one of the most translated works. The novel has the dichotomy of ideal and real at its core, however, it deals with a multitude of themes through its complex narrative. This metafictional text that continues to inspire its readers even today, questions the definition of authorship as well as readership. It holds a special relevance in every age since the publication of its first volume in 1605, nevertheless, for varied reasons. In the present work, a detailed study is done to understand the multivalence and relevance of the myth of Don Quixote in different ages that are characterised by their distinct epistemic beliefs.

Socialization Of Effective Learning And Savings From An Early Age To Elementary School Students
Authors: Ahyar Juni , Ikramuddin Ikramuddin , Zulkifli Zulkifli
Published: February 2022

First, the problem in Meunasah Teungoh Village, Simpang Keuramat District is about education, namely where the learning process in schools is still less effective and efficient. The teaching and learning process in two schools in Gampong Meunasah Teungoh, namely SD Negeri 5 Simpang Keuramat still tends to seem monotonous and boring. The children/students have not been able to catch what the teachers are saying, thus causing the process of delivering the material not to be well received by the children/students. This of course makes children's knowledge less and tends not to be able to apply it directly in society. Therefore, through the service in the form of effective learning socialization that we will do in the two schools, it makes the children/students more enthusiastic in learning and enthusiastic in receiving all the knowledge that we provide. Second, the problem in Gampong Meunasah Teungoh is the lack of awareness of children in cultivating saving from an early age. This is due to the lack of attention from parents and school institutions in providing knowledge and teaching about the importance of saving from an early age. Children tend to have a desire to spend the pocket money given by their parents quickly so that when an urgent situation comes, they have no savings. Therefore, we will conduct socialization activities on saving from an early age to children, by providing knowledge through games to them about the importance of saving from an early age.

Simultaneous Pilkada 2020 is still dwelling on the same pattern of problems from the previous Pilkada which actually experienced a significant increase in the journey of regional heads who came from the Political Dynasty. A total of 124 candidates are affiliated with political dynasties. One of them is caused by the double-edged sword of decentralization and regional autonomy. In addition to giving power to the regions in forming their own households, decentralization of regional autonomy triggers the decentralization of corruption that spreads to various regions which then drags the political elite. This is what causes regional autonomy to encourage oligarchic decentralization and the practice of political dynasties. The "little kings" in the regions that were born from regional autonomy finally made the Pilkada a power defense industry that was also correlated with the defense of wealth.

The Legacy of Professor Joe Sax
Authors: Krupp Fred
Published: February 2022

I grew up as the environmental movement did, in the 1960s and 1970s. In college at Yale, engineering professor Charlie Walker became my mentor and taught me that there are practical solutions for almost all environmental problems. This hopeful point of view inspired me to devote myself to the subject, first as an academic pursuit. As I neared graduation and was trying to decide on a path, Professor Walker handed me a book: Defending the Environment by Joseph Sax.1 That book was visionary in its description of private citizens’ ability to protect and defend the environment through the legal system. It furthered my view that these problems could be solved and instilled in me the desire to study environmental law from Professor Sax at the University of Michigan. But I was not admitted to Michigan and instead spent my first year of law school at the University of Virginia, before again applying to Michigan as a transfer student. At the time, it was uncommon to transfer between law schools and usually required fairly serious exigent circumstances. To my mind, being able to study environmental law under Professor Sax was such a circumstance. Professor L. Hart Wright, University of Michigan’s famous former tax professor, agreed, and I was off to Michigan, one of eight transfer students that year.
Legal Protection for Groundwater-Dependent Ecosystems
Authors: Gannon Collin
Published: February 2022

This Note concerns the legal protection of groundwater-dependent ecosystems in the United States and abroad. By first describing the science and ecology of ecosystems that are dependent on groundwater and then surveying the current American legal system that fails to adequately protect groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs), this Note proposes legal reforms that could vastly improve groundwater management systems. State protection of GDEs is sparse and often only operates indirectly as a result of states’ water policies focused on water quantity upkeep for consumptive purposes. Part I provides an overview of GDEs. Part II discusses state legal protection, including indirect state protection measures and the public trust doctrine. Part III gives an assessment of the federal government’s ability to protect GDEs. The federal government may explicitly reserve federal water rights to protect GDEs through the Winters Doctrine, which has successfully protected some at-risk ecosystems by ensuring adequate groundwater resources within federally reserved lands. Additionally, the federal government, like the states, can also indirectly protect GDEs. As highlighted in this Note, such federal actions include attempts to influence state policies through education concerning the hydrological connectivity of surface and ground waters, and thus the necessity to sustainably manage water sources, as well as threats regarding federal funding which effectively forced states to adopt those sustainable water management policies. The Endangered Species Act has unsurprisingly had considerable success in protecting GDEs, but this success is necessarily restricted to situations in which a threatened or endangered species is present. This Note also includes an analysis of the Sporhase Doctrine, which involves the protection of GDEs by requiring the open trade of groundwater resources through the Dormant Commerce Clause. But in practice, this doctrine has been generally ineffective.

In developing countries, electronic waste is a subject of concern in the environmental challenge due to the import of electronics that are not useful from developed countries. The developed country exports the waste as a source of donation to the developing country but the majority of those electronics are waste that contains toxic metals which are harmful to human health. This research work assessed electronic dumpsite to detect the concentrations of heavy metals present in the soil and around the dumpsites. Three dumpsites were considered in the Odogbolu Local government area of Ogun State where the soil samples in the sites were tested to know the concentration of heavy metals present which constitutes an environmental hazard to both human beings and the ecosystem. This was compared with a control that was taken from an electronic waste free site. The atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS) was used for the analysis and the heavy metals analysed were Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Zinc (Zn), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Cobalt (Co), Iron (Fe) and Arsenic (As). Our findings show that zinc and iron exist in the soil at high concentrations. When the data compared with WHO’s standard confirmed that Zinc, Iron, and lead are of higher concentration in the samples. However, zinc intake beyond the permissible limits produces toxic effects in the immune system, iron causes nausea and stomach pain while lead causes physical disorders.

Page to Stage: An Empirical Study of Foreign Language Learning (FLL) and Motivation Through Playwriting, Readers Theatre, and Stage Production
Authors: Barbee Matthew
Published: February 2022

This article describes a set of lessons used in a university EFL course and presents empirical, classroom-based research. The set of lessons, Page to Stage, was designed to teach English through the use of drama, dramatic activities, and theatre production—more specifically: dramatic adaptation of Japanese folktales, playwriting, readers theatre, and the rehearsal, memorization, and performance of original, student-written plays. At the end of the lesson and course, students were surveyed on their beliefs regarding the lesson’s effects on their motivation, level of English, use of prosody, and confidence when speaking in public. The students’ enjoyment of certain aspects of the lesson as well as the lesson as a whole was also surveyed. Results showed that the students saw self-improvement along all points, while they feel that their motivation and use of prosody improved most. Regarding enjoyment, students most enjoyed (from most enjoyable to least enjoyable) watching other students perform, working together in groups, using Japanese folktales as reference for the playwriting, the readers theatre, the final performance, and playwriting. Students least enjoyed memorizing the scripts in preparation for the final performances. Based on the results, a case is made for the benefits of drama, readers theatre, and theatre production in the EFL classroom.

Summary. Relevance. Despite many surgical techniques that use modern metal fixators, treatment of elderly patients with fractures of the proximal part of the hip still remains relevant.

Objective: to evaluate the functional results of surgical treatment of elderly patients with transtrochanteric fractures of the femur using a cephalomedullary locking nail (PFNA).

Materials and Methods. The study involved 193 elderly patients (mean age 76.2±10.3 years) with transtrochanteric fractures of the femur type 31 A1-A2.1-1.3 (AO/OTA) after osteosynthesis by PFNA cephalomedullar fixator. The functional outcome of the treatment was determined after 1, 3, 12, and 36 months by Harris Hip Score (HHS), radiographic signs of bone union, and the presence of complications. The risk of recurrent trochanteric fractures over the next 10 years was calculated by adapted FRAX scale.

Results. Positive changes were found by HSS, in the dynamics: 51.6 after 1 month, 60.2 after 3 months, 79.7 after 12 months, and 84.4 after 36 months. Within 6 months after the surgery, the following changes were found: secondary displacement of bone fragments with the “cut-out” eruption of the cervical blade in 2.3% (n=3), migration of the cervical component outward in 4.7% (n=6), and inflammation of surgical wound in 3.9% (n=5) of cases. Retrospectively, the average FRAX score was assessed (22.12±1.76).

Conclusions. Stable functional osteosynthesis of transtrochanteric fractures of the femur using PFNA combined with early dosed loading on the injured limb allowed to obtain satisfactory functional results in 95.4% of cases. Secondary displacement of bone fragments with the “cut-out” effect requires a detailed analysis of all possible endo- and exogenous factors and identification of the most significant ones. The 10-year risk of recurrent fractures in patients with trochanteric fractures significantly increases over the age of 70, especially in females, and accounts for the majority of osteoporotic fractures.

Background: Monitoring adults with classical 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is challenging due to variation in clinical and laboratory settings. Moreover, guidelines for adrenal imaging in 21OHD are not yet available. We evaluated the relationship between adrenal morphology and disease control status in classical 21OHD.Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study included 90 adult 21OHD patients and 270 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. We assessed adrenal volume, width, and tumor presence using abdominal computed tomography and evaluated correlations of adrenal volume and width with hormonal status. We investigated the diagnostic performance of adrenal volume and width for identifying well-controlled status in 21OHD patients (17α-hydroxyprogesterone [17-OHP] <10 ng/mL).Results: The adrenal morphology of 21OHD patients showed hypertrophy (45.6%), normal size (42.2%), and hypotrophy (12.2%). Adrenal tumors were detected in 12 patients (13.3%). The adrenal volume and width of 21OHD patients were significantly larger than those of controls (18.2±12.2 mL vs. 7.1±2.0 mL, 4.7±1.9 mm vs. 3.3±0.5 mm, P<0.001 for both). The 17-OHP and androstenedione levels were highest in patients with adrenal hypertrophy, followed by those with normal adrenal glands and adrenal hypotrophy (P<0.05 for both). Adrenal volume and width correlated positively with adrenocorticotropic hormone, 17-OHP, 11β-hydroxytestosterone, progesterone sulfate, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in both sexes (r=0.33–0.95, P<0.05 for all). For identifying well-controlled patients, the optimal cut-off values of adrenal volume and width were 10.7 mL and 4 mm, respectively (area under the curve, 0.82–0.88; P<0.001 for both).Conclusion: Adrenal volume and width may be reliable quantitative parameters for monitoring patients with classical 21OHD.

Sports civic organizations are essential for Hungarian society, especially for young people’s lives, constituting a crucial part of the corpus of civil society organizations. The performance and output of these were rarely examined; still, activity forms of an organization and their managerial practice may equally result in failure and success. By applying a survey questionnaire, this study provided an in-depth picture and an analysis of the six crucial dimensions of their functioning: Public Activity, Employment, Human Resources, Professional Activity, State Aid and Funding, and Social Influence. Apart from the contribution that this study gave to recognize a particular type of civil society organizations, i.e., the sports one, its significance lay mainly in the connection of the crucial attributes/dimensions of organization and functioning.

Published: February 2022

Urban parks are of the most important components of green infrastructure in cities. Number and size of green areas decrease especially due to increase in population and urbanization. Urban parks rank first among green areas that increase and improve the quality of life in cities. Urban parks are places where people can commune with nature and spend their free time for leisure. Accessibility of urban parks, their recreational facilities and space identity are very effective on satisfaction of users. This study is about EYOF Park in Trabzon city. Visual perception analysis carried out using landscape quality criteria. User satisfaction was analyzed with statistical analyses. As a result of analysis, the highest correlations were found between “color” and “texture” (r = 0.790). The most important reasons of park visit was found to be for “relaxing” purposes, moreover “lack of car park” was stated as the most important problem for the park.

in an attempt to solve the problems of the former model. This model is further analyzed by using the power spectrum indices of inflation and the reheating temperature.

GeV at δ = 0.98 is consistent with the standard approach to inflation and observations. We calculate the slow roll parameters for the minimally coupled scalar field within the framework of our models. It is found that the values of the scalar spectral index and tensor-to-scalar ratio are very close to the recent observational data, including those released by Planck. Further, we find the scalar spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar ratio are exactly the same in the first model because the Jordan and the Einstein frames are conformally equivalent. We also attempt to provide a constraint through the non-Gaussianity parameter.

We present a multiwavelength study of the H ii region Sh 2-301 (S301) using deep optical data, near-infrared data, radio continuum data, and other archival data at longer wavelengths. A cluster of young stellar objects (YSOs) is identified in the northeast (NE) direction of S301. The Hα and radio continuum images trace the distribution of the ionized gas surrounding a massive star, ALS 207, and the S301 H ii region is bounded by an arc-like structure of gas and dust emission in the southeastern direction. The northwestern part of S301 seems to be devoid of gas and dust emission, while the presence of molecular material between the NE cluster and the central massive star ALS 207 is found. The distribution of warm dust emission, ionized gas, and neutral hydrogen together suggests a blistered morphology of the S301 H ii region powered by ALS 207, which appears to be located near the edge of the cloud. The location of the NE cluster embedded in the cold molecular cloud is found opposite to the blistered morphology. There is a noticeable age difference investigated between the massive star and the NE cluster. This age difference, pressure calculation, photodissociation regions, and the distribution of YSOs favor the positive feedback of the massive star ALS 207 in S301. On a wider scale of S301, the H ii region and the young stellar cluster are depicted toward the central region of a hub-filamentary system, which is evident in the infrared images.
Les Postes européennes au Proche-Orient au XIX e siècle
Authors: Crevato-Selvaggi Bruno
Published: February 2022

Sous l’Ancien Régime, certaines puissances européennes avaient organisé leurs propres services postaux avec Constantinople. Après l’expérience napoléonienne, surgit en Europe une nouvelle organisation des services postaux, avec un réseau de bureaux, de services et de méthodes enfin modernes, alors qu’il n’y avait pas encore de collaboration internationale rationnelle entre les différentes administrations postales. Cependant il y avait encore un grave manque de communications avec le monde ottoman, où vivaient des communautés européennes s’adonnant au commerce et ayant besoin de communications régulières et sécurisées avec l’Occident et ses marchés. Le tournant pour la création d’une infrastructure postale capable de relier l’économie des communautés européennes à l’économie occidentale résulte d’un développement technologique – c’est-à-dire la navigation à vapeur – et d’une nouvelle situation politico-militaire. De 1837 à 1914, grâce à ces conditions et au régime des capitulations, la France, l’Autriche, la Russie, la Grande-Bretagne, l’Italie et l’Allemagne, ainsi que la Grèce, l’Égypte et la Roumanie, créèrent leurs propres bureaux postaux dans les principales villes ottomanes, qui fonctionnaient avec leurs propres règles métropolitaines, mais étaient ouverts à tous. Ces bureaux furent un outil actif d’expansion économique des communautés européennes et, surtout, de leurs liaisons commerciales avec l’économie européenne ; ils furent également un outil important pour l’expansion territoriale et financière des banques européennes et locales. Enfin, ils devinrent eux-mêmes un moteur de croissance économique et ils jouèrent aussi un considérable rôle politique comme vecteurs de prestige et d’influence.
La concurrence avant la libéralisation : International Post Corporation, entreprise de transformation, 1983-1989
Authors: Laborie Léonard
Published: February 2022

Cet article suit les discussions et décisions des responsables des Postes des pays industrialisés au sein de la Conférence européenne des administrations des Postes et des Télécommunications durant la seconde moitié des années 1980, face au choc concurrentiel des opérateurs privés sur le segment des envois rapides internationaux, qui a précédé la libéralisation du secteur une dizaine d’années plus tard. Cette recherche explique pourquoi la création d’une société commune, International Post Corporation, a représenté un espoir de salut par la transformation des Postes associées. Réponse transnationale à une menace transnationale, International Post Corporation et sa filiale de courte vie, Unipost, devaient transformer leurs membres en entreprises agiles, déliées des contraintes administratives, tout en sécurisant l’ordre postal international séculaire, fondé sur la souveraineté territoriale et la non-concurrence. Il en alla autrement et ces entreprises contribuèrent à secouer l’ordre avec lequel elles disparurent. Aujourd’hui oubliées, elles n’en restent pas moins un maillon décisif dans la préparation des Postes à leur nouvel environnement libéralisé.
