Omental infarction is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Cases. The report is based on two cases who attended to emergency, complaining of abdominal pain with CT diagnosis of omental infarction. We present a case of a 42 years old man who consulted to the emergency service for a pain in the right hemiabdomen, with elevated inflammatory markers in blood tests. Radiological examination by abdominal CT showed an omental torsion infarction. The patient evolved favourably with conservative treatment. The second case is a 85 years old man appendectomized who consulted for a pain in the left iliac foza with physical examination and complementary and radiological, it is concluded that it is an omental infarction, with a good evolution due to the treatment. Discussion. Clinical diagnosis remains a challenge, due to its rarity and clinical presentation mimicking acute appendicitis or cholecystitis. Hence in the absence of imaging test, intraoperative diagnosis takes place. It can occur due to two main pathogenic mechanisms: Secondary to vascular pedicle torsion (primary or secondary to another abdominal pathology) or situations that predispose to thrombosis. Conclusion. Omental infarction should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain. Once confirmed by CT abdominal scan, conservative treatment could be considered, avoiding unnecessary surgery.

Introduction. Barrett Esophagus is an acquired condition secondary to gastroesophageal reflux disease, and it´s the main risk factor for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma. Although there is controversy about tissue sampling at endoscopy when segments are lesser than 10 mm, the prevalence of ultrashort Barrett´s esophagus is up to 20%. Objective. To estimate ultrashort Barrett Esophagus prevalence in a poblational cohort of Argentina and to assess the presence of dysplasia. Methods. A cross-sectional study of the endoscopic and pathological reports of ultrashort Barrett suspicion in an outpatient endoscopy center was performed during 2016-2017. 894 patients were enrolled. Results. 52% of the cohort were male, whose mean age was 56 years (± 12 years). Average Body Mass Index was 26 ± 4 kg/m2. Endoscopically, 50% had hiatal hernia and mean length was 2.32 ± 0.59 cm. Virtual chromoendoscopy was applied in 60% of patients. Ultrashort Barrett´s Esophagus prevalence was 25% (IC 95%), 224/894 patients. Median length was 0.74 ± 0.24 cm. Male sex and presence of hiatal hernia showed a statistically significant association with ultrashort BE presence in multivariate analysis. Conclusion. Ultrashort BE was identified in 25% of the patients, being more frequent in male sex and in patients with hiatal hernia; two variables that are independently related to intestinal metaplasia. Dysplasia was not observed.

Translation and Influence of One Two Three… Infinity in China
Authors: Xiao Jiali , Dai Yuxia , Shi Xiaomei
Published: May 2021

One Two Three… Infinity is a world-famous popular science work. The first edition of the book was published in 1946, but its first translation work in China was published in 1978 for the reason that China was experiencing an unprecedented cultural revolution from 1966-1976, thus the popular science publishing industry stagnated. The translators used some outdated words and deleted or modified some names of countries and people for reasons including politics, economics, and culture. However, the translation work gained a huge circulation and great impact in China, and it almost became a must-read for college students at the end of 1970s, being regarded as an enlightening textbook especially for students of science in China. In 2002, a new translation of One Two Three… Infinity was published by Science Press in China, with a unique style and also being one of the popular science works.

Authors: Liang Liqun , Yin Qian , Shi Chunrang
Published: May 2021

Explaining the proper names on the website to students is an essential part of English teaching in university, but it is often overlooked by teachers and students. In the university, students use improper methods of exploring proper names on websites, which include exploring proper names on just a few websites, exploring proper names on inappropriate websites, and improper methods of cognizing the meanings of proper names. Students’ improper methods of cognizing the meanings of proper names consist of interpreting out of context, and interpreting by literal meaning. The teachers can guide students to explore proper names online appropriately by using the effective methods, including introducing of relevant websites to lead students to choose the appropriate websites for exploring, comparing the different explainations of proper names from different websites, and questioning students to help them to cognize the accurate understanding of proper names.

Authors: Tánori Quintana Jesús , Álvarez Quintero Adolfo , Vera Noriega José Ángel , Durazo Salas Francisco Fernando
Published: May 2021

En los últimos años evaluaciones internacionales y nacionales han presentado resultados poco favorables para el sistema educativo en México, centrando el análisis en la calidad de los profesores. Esta problemática ha sido similar en el concurso de oposición para el ingreso a la profesión docente y pone en duda la eficiencia de la formación inicial a cargo de las escuelas normales mexicanas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la relación entre origen social y rendimiento académico de una comunidad estudiantil de tres planteles de la Escuela Normal en Sonora. El estudio analiza una cohorte de 268 estudiantes mediante el uso operativo de los cinco tipos de capital cultural que, como variables, contribuyen al análisis del rendimiento académico. Además, se determinó el origen social de los estudiantes con la prueba de conglomerados de K-medias. Los resultados muestran, a través de un análisis del coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, que el capital familiar, escolar y económico del estudiante se relaciona con el rendimiento académico. Después se realizó un análisis de regresión lineal donde el valor más alto de beta fue para la variable capital escolar. Se concluye, en un marco de desigualdad social, que el capital escolar y el económico son los factores que intervienen en el logro educativo de los estudiantes que se están formando como formadores.

Neonato piccolo, ipotonico, con difficoltà di alimentazione: pensiamo anche alla sindrome di Temple
Authors: Dal Bo Sara , Muratori Claudia , Nardini Chiara , Donati Ilaria , Magistà Anna Maria , Marchetti Federico
Published: May 2021

Temple syndrome is a rare imprinting disorder mainly due to maternal uniparental disomy of the chromosome 14. It represents the main differential diagnosis of Silver-Russell and Prader-Willi syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by growth retardation, hypotonia, difficult feeding, development delay and precocious puberty. The absence of congenital pathognomonic malformations and universally recognized screening methodologies make this pathology be underdiagnosed, so the analysis of 14q32 should be evaluated in all cases of intrauterine growth restriction, hypotonia and neonatal feeding difficulties. It should also be considered in cases of unexplained early puberty associated with poor stature growth. The paper presents the case of a girl with the final diagnosis of Temple syndrome, with an initial picture of intrauterine growth retardation, axial hypotonia and feeding difficulties. The initial diagnostic suspicion was a Silver-Russell syndrome.
Understanding Digitalization in the African Context
Authors: Odularu Gbadebo , Adekunle Bamidele
Published: May 2021

During the pre-coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic era, Africa was one of the fastest growing regions in the world. However, much of the population live in underserved communities in which vulnerability risks are higher than the continental average. Thus, it is theoretically established that deepening digital divide is one of many systemic inequalities that Africa faces and will largely grapple with in the post-COVID-19 era. This necessitates leveraging on cutting edge and evidence-based policy experiences from other countries toward the adoption of digitally innovative and sustainable developmental approaches. The main objective of this editorial is to articulate digitalization—related and workable policy interventions for fostering inclusive development while mitigating the adverse impact of its unforeseen circumstances in Africa.
Digitalization in the Agribusiness Value Chain and Payment Systems: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Adegboye Folasade
Published: May 2021

The African agribusiness sector and those of other developing regions of the world are characterized by disorderly patterns in the value chain system. The agriculture market in Africa has enormous potential with an anticipated size of $1 trillion by 2030. However, the average African farm performs at only 40% of its potential. Also, consistent increase in population size and a consistent growth rate of above 2.5% in the region create dire concern for food availability. This study examines the extent to which digitalization affects agribusiness value chain and the payment system in the sub-Saharan African region. The descriptive and pooled ordinary least square regression analysis was employed to determine the statistical significance of digitalization on the payment system and agricultural productivity in the region over the period 2000 to 2019. The results revealed that digitalization has a significant impact on agricultural productivity for the region. The study recommends a wholesome utilization of blockchain technology to ensure better farmland usage, improved access for all stakeholders in the value chain framework, enhanced productivity, food security, and reduced extreme hunger and poverty. This will ensure that Africa will become empowered to feed itself and use its competitive advantage of good weather, arable land, labor, and water to compete globally.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Employment in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Role of Education
Authors: Metu Amaka Getrude , Madichie Chekwube Vitus , Kalu Chris Ulua , Nzeribe Geraldine Ejiaka
Published: May 2021

The heat of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) in the form of automated technologies in industrial production processes is on the global world. This has raised worries regarding the potential impact of the 4IR particularly on the future of jobs in developing countries. The study investigates the impact of the 4IR on industry labor employment, with particular emphasis on the role of tertiary education in SSA from 2000 to 2018. Due to the dearth of adequate data relating to the elements of 4IR such as robotics, internet of things (IoT), and cloud technologies, the study is benchmarked on the technology achievement of SSA countries, tertiary education attainment, and some elements of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) like mobile phone technology and internet densities. The study employed instrumental variable regression, within the framework of the System GMM estimator, covering the 48 SSA countries. The result shows that technology achievement index (TAI), technology, mobile, mobile phone technology, and education exert a positive effect on industry labor employment in SSA. This suggests that advancement in the elements of 4IR will eventually bring about improvement in the level of industry labor employment. Based on these findings, the study recommends that the governments of SSA countries should embark on structural reforms of the educational system as well as massive investment in ICT penetration and diffusion. These efforts will produce digital manpower to fit into the new job environment while offsetting the immediate job losses occasioned by the 4IR

Motor-Carrier Safety: A Review and Research Recommendations for 2020 and Beyond
Authors: Douglas Matthew A.
Published: May 2021

This article presents results of a systematic review of the US motor-carrier safety literature in transportation, logistics, and safety journals. The discipline has seen growth in research over the decades, and growth of the field rapidly increased in the last decade. We organize the literature into a systems framework and summarize the research across industry system levels to include government, regulators, carriers, and drivers. We then apply a goal-framing approach to reveal some of the dynamic interactions between system levels and the environment, as entities work to minimize risk to life and property during freight operations while striking a balance between the industry's welfare and societal welfare. This article provides recommendations for future research to fill gaps in the current body of knowledge and to aid government officials, regulators and law enforcement officials, carrier managers, and drivers in addressing industry challenges and maintaining safe roads in 2020 and beyond.
Developing the feature inventory of the inherent cases
Authors: Middleton Jane
Published: May 2021

In this squib I propose a modification to Radkevich’s (2010) analysis of the locative cases, such that the privative features [source] and [goal] replace Radkevich’s binary features [±motion] and [±source]. I argue that these changes improve Radkevich’s analysis in three ways. The first improvement is empirical; they allow her system to account for the data of Kunimaipa, a language spoken in Papua New Guinea, which it presently cannot account for. The second improvement is also empirical; the analysis now predicts the absence of the unattested Ablative-Allative syncretism, which is not explained by alternative analyses. The final improvement is theoretical; a system employing privative features is to be preferred over one with binary features, because it is simpler (Occam’s razor).
Passing Orders
Authors: O'Donnell S. Jonathon
Published: May 2021

Demonization has increasingly become central to the global religious and political landscape. Passing Orders interrogates this centrality through an analysis of evangelical “spiritual warfare” demonologies in contemporary America, which envision the world as built on a clash of divine and demonic forces in which humanity is enmeshed. Situating spiritual warfare in the context of American exceptionalism, ethnonationalism, and empire-management, it exposes the theological foundations that justify the dehumanizing practices of the current US political order—queer- and transphobia, Islamophobia, antiblackness, and settler colonialism. The book argues that demonologies are not merely tools of dehumanization but ontological and biopolitical systems that create and maintain structures of sovereign power, or orthotaxies: models of the “right ordering” of reality that create uneven geographies of space and stratify humanity into hierarchies of being and nonbeing. Demonologies constitute and consolidate these geographies and stratifications by enabling the framing of other orders as passing orders—as counterfeit, transgressive, and transient. But these orders are unwilling to pass on, instead giving structure to deviant desires that resist sovereign power. Demonstrating these structures of resistance in demonologies of three figures—the Jezebel spirit, the Islamic Antichrist, and Leviathan—Passing Orders explores how demons exceed their designated role as self-consolidating others to embody alternative possibilities that unsettle orthotaxic claims over territory, time, and truth. Ultimately, it reimagines demons as a surprising source of political and social resistance, reflecting fragile and fractious communities bound by mutual passing and precarity into strategic coalitions of solidarity, subversion, and survival.
World Literature for the Wretched of the Earth
Authors: Elam J. Daniel
Published: May 2021

World Literature for the Wretched of the Earth recovers an alternative strain of anticolonialism that does not seek national sovereignty, authority, and political recognition, but advocates instead inexpertise, unknowing, unintelligibility, and collective unrecognizability. Early twentieth-century anticolonial thinkers endeavored to imagine a world emancipated from colonial rule, but it was a world they knew they would likely not live to see. Written in exile, in abjection, or in the face of death, anticolonial thought could not afford to base its politics on the hope of eventual success. This book shows how anticolonial thinkers theorized inconsequential practices of egalitarianism in the service of impossibility: a world without colonialism. To trace this impossible political theory, this book foregrounds anticolonial theories of reading and critique in the writing of four thinkers, Lala Har Dayal, B. R. Ambedkar, M. K. Gandhi, and Bhagat Singh. These activists theorized reading not as a way to cultivate mastery and expertise, but as a way of rather to disavow mastery and expertise altogether. Reading was antiauthoritarian precisely because it urged readers to refuse authorship and, relatedly, authority. To become or remain a reader, and divest oneself of authorial claims, was to challenge the logic of the British Empire and European fascism, which prized self-mastery, authority, and sovereignty. Bringing together the histories of comparative literature and anticolonial thought, Elam demonstrates how these early twentieth-century theories of reading force us to reconsider the commitments of humanistic critique and egalitarian politics.
Infrapolitical Passages
Authors: Williams Gareth
Published: May 2021

This book clears a way through some of the dominant political determinations and violent symptoms of contemporary globalization. It considers globalization as a new, and increasingly unmoored, ordering for which modern political theory, including its theories of political subjectivation, has proven largely obsolete. Globalization is the hollowing out and expiration of the political-theological imagination of the modern juridical system of states. In this regard Infrapolitical Passages provides (1) a theory of globalization as a crisis of symbolic organization and (2) a theory of global economic warfare as the positing itself of both directionlessness and facticity. In contrast, the work of clearing proposes “infrapolitics” as a distance from the biopolitical, which it understands as the contemporary forms of domination, that is, as the production of specific forms of subjectivity that pertain to the age of the ontology of the commodity. It is the relation of the subject to domination—and the subsequent obscuring of any question for being—that signals the need to circumvent the instrumentalization of life as a relation of subordination to the metaphysics of subjectivity, representation, and politics.
The Villanova Roundtable
Authors: Derrida Jacques
Published: May 2021

This chapter details Jacques Derrida's participation in a roundtable discussion on October 2, 1994, which was the centerpiece of a day dedicated to the official inauguration of the new doctoral program in philosophy at Villanova University. Derrida was speaking in English, extemporaneously and without a text, to questions put to him by professors Walter Brogan, Thomas Busch, John D. Caputo, and Dennis Schmidt. While this forum did not allow Derrida to develop the complexities of deconstruction, as he himself repeatedly protests, he succeeded in putting things in a strikingly concise and illuminating way. Ultimately, the roundtable is as eloquent and reliable an “introduction” to deconstruction as one is likely to find. In it, Derrida discussed the relationship of his work to Greek philosophy, the concept of internationalism, and the topic of justice, among other things.
Effect of Lidia bulls training on the falling syndrome and the physical activity developed during the show
Authors: Lomillos Juan M. , Gaudioso Vicente R. , Escalera Francisco , Alonso Marta E.
Published: May 2021

Aim of study: The aim of this work was to study the effect of different length of physical activity carried out by the bull prior to the show during the final performance of the animal, analyzing the behavior and physical activity displayed in the ring.Area of study: There is no clear scientific evidence of physical capacity improvements during the lidia show or “corrida”, in Lidia cattle, as a result of previous training.Material and methods: A total of 233 bulls from eight farms were studied and classified, on each farm, into three groups according to the length of the training period: group 1 (no training), group 2 (training for 3 months prior to the show) and group 3 (training for 6-9 months prior to the show). Locomotion times or percentage of time the animals moved were quantified, and number of falls, their severity and distribution during the show were registered.Main results: Trained animals performed last phase of the “corrida” show with a significantly longer length compared to untrained animals. Furthermore, they remained longer in motion during the initial phase of the “corrida”. However, trained animals experienced more falls of type 1 and 2 during the last phase (“muleta”).Research highlights: A training period of up to 3 months before the show is positive, providing animals a greater physical performance, improving the quality of the lidia show. However, longer training periods over 3 months prior to the show, can negatively affect the performance of these bulls during the “corrida”.

As a research hot issue, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has attracted more and more people's attention. Based on computer-aided technology, teachers can not only provide students with rich language input, but also improve classroom efficiency. However, there are still some problems in this technology. This paper reviews some empirical studies on the impact of computer-assisted language teaching from 2015 and reveals the relevant progress and shortcomings of foreign researches in terms of six aspects from the perspective of language teaching, in order to provide some enlightenment for future research.
Were Higher Education Institutions Communication Strategies Well Suited for the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Calonge David Santandreu , Aguerrebere Pablo Medina , Hultberg Patrik , Connor Melissa
Published: May 2021

The immediacy of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the sheer importance of internal and external communication with stakeholders. Universities had to rapidly grasp an unfolding and fast-changing crisis, gauge their level of preparedness, review decision and implementation processes, devise strategies, and adapt communication approaches. This exploratory study conducts a literature review in order to identify relevant studies that address how higher education institutions communicated to their stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic. The review of the literature revealed that although many higher education institutions had disaster recovery plans in place, few were well-equipped for a disruption of global proportions. Using a grounded theory approach, five important themes emerged from the relevant studies.
Professioneel ethiekonderwijs voor de aankomend overheidsjurist
Authors: van Lochem Peter
Published: May 2021

Professioneel ethiekonderwijs voor de aankomend overheidsjurist; Special issue on Education in (Professional) Legal Ethics, Emanuel van Dongen & Jet Tigchelaar (eds.)

De beroepsethiek van overheidsjuristen wordt traditioneel gericht op het functioneren als poortwachter van de rechtsstaat. Zij ontlenen hun beroepsethisch normenkader aan bovenliggende normen van democratie en rechtsstaat. Beroepsdilemma’s komen daarbij voort uit zich voordoende spanning tussen ambtelijke en juridische verantwoordelijkheden, bijvoorbeeld die tussen loyaliteit aan de politieke leiding versus het bevorderen van proportionaliteit van bevoegdheden (case Tijdelijke wet maatregelen covid-19) en die van handhaving (case kinderopvangtoeslagen). In de praktijk van de overheidsjurist is de beroepsethiek het resultaat van het omgaan met genoemde dilemma’s. Deze contextuele beroepsethiek van onderop wijkt af van de aan de rechtstaat ontleende beroepsethiek van bovenaf. Er zijn de nodige argumenten om het professionele (universitaire) ethiekonderwijs voor aankomend overheidsjuristen te richten op een normatieve oriëntatie van onderop. Het bevordert realisme, waakzaamheid voor tegenkrachten en rolvastheid. In het ethiekonderwijs voor aankomend overheidsjuristen zou dan een empirische en op verantwoording gerichte attitude centraal moeten staan.
Educação do século XXI: a resiliência dos professores e as re(i)novações no ensino primário em Portugal
Authors: Nobre Ana , Cruz Ema
Published: May 2021

Na Educação como em muitas outras vertentes, precisamos que o tempo passado e as suas experiências, nos traga uma racionalidade que a pressão do presente muitas vezes não nos deixa alcançar. De entre as quatro paredes de uma sala de aula, professores e alunos viram-se obrigados a confinar, durante a pandemia – COVID-19, diligenciando condições para usufruir de um ensino à distância, tornando-se o espaço de suas casas o ambiente virtual da escola. O ensino primário foi o que mais embate sofreu, por estar arreigado a metodologias convencionais e agora sente-se obrigado a “acompanhar” todo este contexto, que veio determinar re(i)novações em catadupa. Apresentamos uma resenha histórica das tendências pedagógicas e das reformas do ensino primário em Portugal.
Comunidade indígena nasa: gênese histórica da construção de uma pedagogia própria
Authors: Mendoza Fabian , De Oliveira Rosângela Pereira
Published: May 2021

O texto apresenta uma síntese histórica da origem do Projeto de Educação Própria do povo indígena Nasa da Colômbia, através de quatro personagens, três individuais e um coletivo: La Cacica La Gaitana, Juan Tama, Manuel Quintín Lame e o Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca - CRIC. A metodologia centra-se em uma revisão documental e bibliográfica de autores vinculados ao movimento indígena do Cauca. Na luta histórica pela recuperação de território, identidade e vida, os Nasa descobrem o valor fundamental da ancestralidade e da história como mestras e da educação como metodologia. A perspectiva decolonial associada às elaborações de Mignolo (2007), Dussel (1994) e Walsh (2013), é chave para dimensionar o sentido de sua luta diante das violências que invadem o seu território e realçar a transcendência de sua reconstituição epistemológica.

Published: May 2021

This text highlights the aesthetic explorations of Bulgarian cinematographers from the 1980s, specifically those aimed at people of art. The article offers, first, a brief overview of films that examine the symbolic potential of the artist, which defines the consideration of an established and meaningful tendency in the development of Bulgarian cinema. The article focuses then on the live-action film Illusion (1980, directed by Lyudmil Staykov and written by Konstantin Pavlov) and examines the figure of the artist in the piece. The presented interpretation supports the view of the film as a morally valuable expression of modern art.

The Devaluation of Culture and the Devaluation of Education— Problem analysis on the example of selected issues from the humanities and social sciences
Authors: Stachurski Michał
Published: May 2021

Increasingly, the level of education obtained in European society is related to the level of knowledge about culture and the use of culture itself. At the same time, it is alleged that higher education is now a “commodity” too easily available on the public service markets. In the opinion of some, this reduces the importance of having higher education, but also the state of science itself. The purpose of the article is to show that concepts such as “culture,” “humanities” and “education” are closely related, and therefore, an attempt to lower the meaning of one of these concepts may entail the devaluation of another concept.

“Disgusting Growths of Weepy Romanticism”. On Juliusz Słowacki’s Beniowski
Authors: Leszczyński Marcin
Published: May 2021

In 1841, Wacław Jabłonowski, in a review of Juliusz Słowacki’s Beniowski, depicted in the poet a fiery rain which would cleanse the nation of “disgusting growths of weepy Romanticism”. The paper presents an ironic play with the motif of tears in the poem, which is, above all, a play with literary conventions. An example of farewell love letters flooded with tears is regarded not only in the context of the poet’s distance from sentimental and romantic affects (the issue of authenticity and artificiality) or from literary styles, but also in the context of the imagological constructs of—real or projected—Polish identity as well as reactions to the loss of independence. Juxtaposing Beniowski with Byron’s Don Juan, the paper shows how Słowacki overcomes irony and moves towards mysticism.
Specialist Texts’ Readers—Super-Smart Society’s Backbone
Authors: Ślęzak-Świat Agnieszka
Published: May 2021

The objective of the paper is to show how important it is not to assume that the reading skill remains stable after being learned. Hayashi (2017) emphasises that “if you don’t have the reading skills and if you learn history, physics or chemistry, you won’t understand the definitions,” which is why developing and monitoring reading skills well into 6th and 7th grades are required in a super-smart society. Pointedly, reading skills must be regularly practised and recycled to keep abreast with the influx of information a reader needs to process. One of the components of the reading skill is word knowledge (both form and meaning). As the present study strives to illustrate, defining and enumerating what it involves constitutes a major problem, even for English philology students. Therefore, programming languages of Web 3.0 are discussed in terms of mediating between academic (specialist) and pop-cultural (non-specialist) discourses, helping the reader to refine the content of the text they are exposed to. As the research shows, the algorithmic element of Semantic Web is helpful in taming the density of specialist texts, and it may ultimately serve a human to connect the dots of data and facts to create a base for knowledge as it offers openly accessible tools to determine inconsistencies of terminology to a wide audience of both specialist and non-specialist readers who can use appropriate skills, media and activities to evoke their personal response to science (research findings) which would otherwise be undecipherable due to its highly specialist lexis.
Literary Diagnosis. Metaphorisation of Cancer Diseases in Ulf Ellervik’s Popular Science
Authors: Cieśla Piotr
Published: May 2021

The aim of this article is to discuss the metaphorisation of the discourse of neoplastic diseases in Ulf Ellervik’s popular science published between 2011 and 2016. Of my particular interest are the source domains chosen by the author. Conceptual metaphor theory is used to analyse cancer metaphors as a way of popularising science, especially the biochemistry of life.
What Is Left of the Genius? Sherlockian Legacy in Contemporary Crime Fiction
Authors: Mydla Jacek
Published: May 2021

Arthur Conan Doyle famously popularised science in his series of detective stories by placing its three constitutive elements (scientific knowledge, the collection of evidence, and art of making inferences), in his protagonist Sherlock Holmes. The legacy is present in contemporary crime fiction, but the competencies have been distributed among a group of individuals involved in the investigation. This distribution has affected and changed the position of the detective vis-à-vis scientific expertise. Science, chiefly in the form of different branches of forensics, is as indispensable as the detective, and authors have been working out different ways of making the two work together. As an example of this cooperation, the paper examines Mark Billingham’s 2015 novel Time of Death.
Hip-Hop and Trivialisation of Martin Luther King Jr. in Didier Awadi’s “Dans mon rêve”
Authors: Loukson Ives S.
Published: May 2021

As far as hip-hop is concerned, it is a truism that Didier Awadi counts as one of its influential leading figures. The famous musician from Senegal takes advantage of hip-hop as a medium and participates in disseminating its values across the world. Awadi’s creativity aims at conscientising Black people whose misery, according to him, is due to an internalised negativity about themselves. The artist pursues this objective in “Dans mon rêve” by staging MLK as a historic benchmark and source of inspiration to Africans. My paper attempts to highlight why the use of hip-hop as a medium of pop culture does not effectively serve that creditable objective. I also review the provocative trope of African pop-artist as a modern griot, raised a decade ago by the United States-based scholars. Theoretically, Stuart Hall’s conception of culture and Guy Debord’s theoretical complexity in his attempt to dismantle the monopoly of the spectacle inform the study.
The Sport Marriage
Authors: Ortiz Steven M.
Published: May 2021

Male professional athletes captivate fans and profoundly influence today’s society as part of the $1.3 trillion global sport industry. Although these athletes’ lives and careers are widely reported, scholarly knowledge about the women who support them—their wives—is extremely limited. Because these women’s voices have historically been stifled, their marriages are shockingly misunderstood. Based on findings from the first and only longitudinal study on the sport marriage, this book corrects the abundance of misinformation reported by all forms of media, dispels undeserved stereotypes, and addresses inaccurate assumptions about the heteronormative sport marriage. It demonstrates how, despite major changes in society and sport since the end of the last century, the fundamental nature of the heteronormative sport marriage has not changed. Sport wives remain isolated and subordinate, even while they make significant contributions to their husbands’ careers. Identifying the sport marriage as a career-dominated marriage, the book allows us into these women’s public and private lives, including their need to conform to unwritten rules and codes, adapt to abundant power and control issues, cope with groupies from all walks of life, and find ways to deal with their oft-justified fears about their husbands’ infidelity. The book shares intimate stories about, and provides rare and unflinching insight into, what it is like to be married to these highly visible men, what it means to be a woman in the male-dominated world of professional sports, and why women remain in a sport marriage at great cost to themselves.
The In-Laws
Authors: Ortiz Steven M.
Published: May 2021

This chapter examines power and control issues that emerge in the marriage as a result of the relationship between wives and their mothers-in-law, and how the husband, wife, and mother-in-law use control work in various types of power struggles. In an attempt to move beyond negative stereotypes, a more realistic interpretation of the origins and construction of in-law relationships in the sport marriage is analyzed, including the origins of a durable mother-son bond and its effect on the marital relationship. The chapter introduces the concept of subordination work, which allows for an insightful evaluation of how the wives manage their subordinate status as they try to preserve their marital relationship and avoid offending their mothers-in-law. Attention also is given to a distinctive role reversal initiated by some mothers-in-law, resulting in the mother taking on the surrogate role of wife in public life.
Rebels with a Conscience
Authors: Kemper Kurt Edward
Published: May 2021

The membership growth of the NAIA and growing prominence of its basketball tournament gave it greater exposure, but this cut both ways when it was revealed in 1948 that the tournament excluded black players. The NAIA’s racial ban was only one of many discriminatory practices aimed at blacks in mid-century American college athletics, including the Big Ten’s unwritten prohibition of black players. Forced now to address the matter, Emil Liston and Al Duer worked to overturn the rule and make use of the NAIA as a vehicle to force racial change in Kansas City. Duer worked tirelessly to ensure that black players enjoyed the same privileges as white players and also to challenge segregation in the Kansas City hospitality industry. More than simply welcome black players, Duer also helped restructure the NAIA to welcome historically black colleges as full members while also scrupulously avoiding giving offense to existing Southern segregationist member schools. The affirmative efforts of the NAIA to confront the very real problems of scheduling, lodging, and access for black players and historically black colleges did much to win the support of those schools. It also, however, put in stark contrast the relative indifference of the NCAA to the same issues.
Home Rule’s Last Redoubt

Chapter 6 addresses the extent to which the NCAA remained indifferent in most instances, downright hostile in others, to its membership regarding the issue of race. As they did with the NAIA, historically black colleges (HBCs) under the leadership of John McClendon and others petitioned the NCAA for entrance into its basketball tournament. The NCAA’s response--that HBCs needed to schedule tougher competition against known tournament teams--ignored how those teams largely refused to play HBCs on the ground of racial discrimination. This unwillingness to acknowledge the insidious consequences of racial discrimination marked almost every aspect of NCAA policy with regard to race, including from where it held its annual conventions to where it hosted its national championships. The indifference and hostility of NCAA leaders was in stark contrast to the sympathies and welcome extended by several NCAA small college and liberal arts delegates who now saw the HBCs as welcome allies in their campaign to affect change within the organization. In short order the HBCs joined with their small college allies to continue hammering the NCAA leadership about access to its basketball tournament, while the NAIA pushed ahead with its plans for the full integration of its membership and activities, illustrating the bankruptcy of almost every rationale the NCAA offered as to why it could do nothing more regarding race.
