Authors: Yahaya Jibrin Ubale
Published: September 2022

The issue of climate change has resulted to migration of large number of peoples from various African countries to different places in the world seeking for livelihood. The consequences of this action have blown up continues spread of migrant from Nigeria, Niger Republic, Chad and Cameroon as a victim of environmental related problems or insecurity, if proper care is not taking in the next 20 to 30 years coming the implication and dangers associated with migration can seriously damage the structure of functional Ecosystem operation in the African region and nature of governance conduct in many Africa countries. The paper will use secondary source of data to generate relevant information regarding to the research problem in the area of the study. The paper has two major findings, firstly, in Africa it has been observed that some our culture and human attitudes has some negative consequence to the healthy environment and secondly, most of the government policies in Africa has not address the problems of climate change that led to higher of number of migrations as a result of poverty, desertification, flooding and many other environmental problems.
Century Old “White Supremacism” And The Far-Right’s Rise In Sweden: A Credible Challenge To Progressive Values And Policies?
Authors: Tulun Teoman Ertuğrul
Published: September 2022

2017 might be called the golden year for far-right movements in European Union countries. Sweden, is set to hold its elections in less than a year. According to 2016's polls, the Sweden Democrats (SD), said to be rooted in the white supremacist movement, has boomed in popularity. The narrative of the Sweden Democrats is much of the same ethnical and nationalist claims put forward by other far-right parties and movements we witness elsewhere. In spite of the fact that they disavow their roots in the white supremacist movement, their main platform remains a goal of zero for asylum-based immigration. It should be noted that white supremacy in Sweden is not a new phenomenon, since one of white supremacy's branches, white nationalism, already had a following in the country. White nationalism, as a branch of white supremacist ideology, argues that the national identity of a country such as Sweden was built for and by white individuals. Sweden has been considered a key center of white nationalism for decades. Meanwhile, the roots of the Swedish white supremacism should be academically searched in the Scandinavian eugenics movement that peaked before the First World War and turned into practice in the 1930s and 1940s. In that period, Sweden was the only country with a national eugenics society. It is quite noteworthy that Sweden used sterilization policies between 1934 and 1976. Many years later, this inhumane practice was condemned by the Swedish government. The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs announced in 1999 that it would pay up to £13,430 to each surviving victim of the 1934-76 sterilization program. It is possible to detect the traces of this grim and unforgotten past in the rising support for the far-right Sweden Democrats. Fixed ideas of the past and obsessions with a purified society now demonstrate itself in xenophobic and immigration-skeptic tendencies of certain part of the Swedish society and voters. EU countries, especially countries like Sweden, should seriously consider whether this is the new European reality. If this is the case, then Europe should prepare itself to re-witness the horrors of the past.

Objectives: COVID-19 has infected millions of people worldwide with growing evidence showing that individuals with a history of infection may continue to show persistent post-COVID symptoms (long COVID). The aim of this study was to investigate sleep health in an international sample of individuals who reported previously testing positive for COVID-19.Design: Cross-sectional.Setting. Online survey, in English and Spanish, distributed online between March 4–June 15, 2021.Participants. 1001 individuals who reported a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 across different geographical regions, including North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Europe.Measurements: Self-reported sleep health, using the RU-SATED scale, as recalled before a COVID-19 diagnosis and also reported currently.Results: Individuals reported worse overall current sleep health, with lower ratings across the six dimensions of sleep health (sleep regularity, satisfaction, alertness, timing, efficiency, and duration) compared to their ratings as recalled before COVID-19 infection. Greater severity of COVID-19 symptoms was the strongest predictor of poor current sleep health (p < .001), independent of demographics, presence of a pre-existing chronic health condition, and time since infection. Poor current sleep health was associated with poorer current quality of life (p<.001).Conclusions: Poor current sleep health is evident in individuals with a history of COVID-19, particularly those with more severe symptoms at the time of their COVID-19 infection and is associated with a poorer quality of life. Clinicians and researchers should assess sleep health in individuals with a history of COVID-19 and investigate long-term associations with their mental and physical health, as well as potential benefits of improving sleep in this population.
Employment probability trajectories in Hispanics over the 10 years after traumatic brain injury: A Model Systems study
Authors: Perrin Paul B.
Published: September 2022

Background: Research has found that Hispanics with traumatic brain injury (TBI) show a host of reduced functional outcomes compared to non-Hispanic Whites, including lower probabilities of post-injury employment. However, previous studies on post-TBI employment outcomes in Hispanics were cross-sectional, combined racial/ethnic minority groups, and did not examine the factors that predict return to work of Hispanics longitudinally. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic and injury-related predictors of employment probability trajectories during the first 10 years after TBI.Method: A sample of 1,346 Hispanics in the TBI Model Systems Database was included if participants had at least one employment status score at any time point (years 1, 2, 5, or 10). Hierarchical linear modeling was used to examine baseline predictors of employment probability trajectories across this time period.Results: Employment probability demonstrated a quadratic movement over time, with an initial increase followed by a plateau or slight decrease. Hispanics with TBI had higher employment probability trajectories if they had been younger at the time of injury, spent less time in posttraumatic amnesia, had greater years of education, had been employed at the time of injury, had higher annual earnings at the time of injury, and had experienced a non-violent mechanism of injury.Implications: These results can inform research on treatment programs with a focus on early intervention incorporating vocational rehabilitation and employment programs for Hispanics with TBI who present with these risk factors, and interventions should be tailored to meet the cultural needs of these individuals.
Posttraumatic stress symptoms and its association with rumination, thought suppression and experiential avoidance: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Miethe Sandra , Wigger Janna , Wartemann Annika , Trautmann Sebastian
Published: September 2022

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe mental disorder causing high individual and societal costs. The use of maladaptive emotion regulation (ER) strategies has been identified as a potential contributing factor. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the associations between PTSD symptoms and rumination, thought suppression and experiential avoidance. The systematic literature search resulted in 4486 studies, 44 of which were included in the analysis. From those eligible studies 135 effect sizes were obtained. For symptoms of posttraumatic stress, large effects were found for associations with rumination (r = .53) and experiential avoidance (r = .47), whereas a medium effect size was found for thought suppression (r = .27). With respect to different PTSD symptom clusters, associations ranged between r = .35 and r = .38 for associations with intrusive re-experiencing, between r = .39 and r = .40 for associations with avoidance, between r = .48 and r = .56 for associations with alterations in cognitions and mood and between r = .42 and r = .43 for associations with alterations in arousal and activity. Few available studies provide some evidence that associations might be somewhat reduced but still substantial in longitudinal compared to cross-sectional studies. These findings provide valuable targets for future investigations with the long-term goal of improving targeted interventions for the prevention and treatment of PTSD symptoms.

Published: September 2022

Cynicism is the attitude that people are primarily motivated by self-interest. It tracks numerous negative outcomes, and yet many people are cynical. To understand this “cynicism paradox,” we review and call for more social psychological work on how cynicism spreads, with implications for how we might slow it down.
The wisdom in the story: Clarifying assumptions about radical uncertainty and reasonableness in narrative judgment
Authors: Grossmann Igor , Meyers Ethan Andrew , Eibach Richard
Published: September 2022

Human lives are radically uncertain. Making sense of such uncertainties is the hallmark of wisdom. Sense-making requires narratives, putting them in the centerstage of human everyday decision-making. Yet, what if radical uncertainty is a narrative itself? Moreover, do laypeople always consider such narratives irrational? Here, we pose these questions to enrich a theory of choice under uncertainty.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Telogen Effluvium is one of the most common form of diffuse non scarring hair loss, usually occurring three months after a stressful event causing hair shedding. Trichodynia is an imminent and frequent warning sign of Telogen Effluvium. Increasing cases of Telogen Effluvium during COVID-19 era has been found and it should be an alarming sign for a dermatologist and patients who have been infected by COVID-19 in the past.

Aims: To study Telogen Effluvium in post COVID-19 patients, onset of Telogen Effluvium and occurrence of Trichodynia in different severity groups of COVID-19.

Methods: This casual-comparative study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2021 in total of 52 Telogen Effluvium patients with confirmed recent COVID-19 disease visiting in outpatient department of Dermatology in Nepalgunj Medical College Teaching Hospital. Patient’s with physiological, psychosocial and other chronic illness known to trigger Telogen Effluvium were excluded. Hair pull test was done for diagnosing Telogen Effluvium.

Results:The mean age of the study population was 31.0577±11.78 years. There was a female preponderance with 39 (75%). The mean onset of hair loss after COVID-19 infection was 10.05 weeks and was significantly earlier among the higher severity groups. Among the patients with Telogen Effluvium, 16 (30.80%) presented with trichodynia. Kruskal- Wallis test showed that with increase in severity of COVID-19, there was early onset of Telogen Effluvium associated hair loss and increase occurrence of trichodynia with p value of 0.000 for both variables.

Conclusion:Telogen Effluvium is common in post COVID patients. Post-COVID Telogen Effluvium is more common in females. The onset of Telogen Effluvium is earlier and is more associated with trichodynia with the increase in severity of COVID-19 during their illness.

‘A verse ringing like a tambourine…’. The poetry of Ivan Pulkin
Authors: Balashova E. A. , Kargashin I. A.
Published: September 2022

The article is devoted to the life and works of Ivan Pulkin (1903–1941) — a poet who had not seen his books published before going missing in action during the Battle of Moscow. Following the suit of I. Akhmetiev, who has gathered, published and commented on a collection of the forgotten poet’s works, the authors are in fact discovering a new poet, whose work was strongly defined by the artistic and philosophical experimentation and literary daily life of the 1920s — 1930s: the first and foremost reason being that the genre diversity of Pulkin’s poetry stems from the period’s stylistic jumble, characterised by enormous linguistic potential. Therefore, the article focuses on the poetics of his verses — their unique genre-specific and linguistic features and imagery. In their analysis of Pulkin’s poems, the authors argue that, despite its eclectic nature and ambitious thematic range, his poetry emerges as an organic whole. Pulkin’s entire oeuvre is shaped by his ultimate goal which defines his poetics in general.
Use of Electric Arc Furnace Slag as an Additive in Biogas Production and Its Effects
Authors: ÇALHAN Rahman
Published: September 2022

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process in which organic wastes are converted into gases such as CH4, CO2, and H2S by microorganisms. In AD, using additives is a widespread approach to improve the anaerobic environment of microbial communities, increase microorganisms' activity, and provide more biogas production. This study investigates the effects of adding the electric arc furnace slag (EAFS) as an additive to the AD system on biogas and methane production. EAFS was obtained from a company that produces iron and steel from scrap iron and added to the AD system at specific concentrations (1-5%). Experiments were carried out in mesophilic conditions (36±1 oC) during a 30-day hydraulic retention time (HRT). As a result of batch experiments, at the end of the 30-day HRT, the highest cumulative biogas production was obtained in R9 with 6021.90 mL and 5% EAFS added, and the highest biogas efficiency was obtained in R7 with 219.8 mL.gVS-1 and 4% EAFS added. Furthermore, it was determined that the addition of EAFS to the AD system increased methane yield.

Published: September 2022

Fish farming provides food and livelihood for many people around the world. The fact that trout is produced in many parts of the world and has a very rich content in terms of nutritional value increases the importance of trout. However, there are many problems in trout production due to bacterial factors, making fish production extremely difficult. Bacterial factors cause significant fish deaths and economic losses such as slowdown in growth. In addition to these, these factors also cause some damage to the DNA of fish and the formation of oxidations by disrupting the balance of free radicals in the tissues. Therefore, in this study; In the trout farms in our province, the trout with the main bacterial agents causing infection were determined and bacterial species (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Lactococcus garvieae and Bacillius subtilis) were determined by PCR. The brain and liver tissues of these fish were taken and the changes in antioxidant enzyme levels (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px), lipid peroxidation (MDA) and damage to their DNA (8-OHdG) compared to the control groups were investigated. In the study, it was determined that the antioxidant defense system enzyme levels in all three species of bacteria decreased in tissues, while lipid peroxidation and 8-OHdG levels increased.

As a result; Staphylococcus epidermidis, Lactococcus garvieae and Bacillius

subtilis bacteria caused changes in antioxidant enzyme levels, lipid peroxidation and 8-OHdG levels in trout brain and liver tissues.

A natureza do Sacerdócio Ministerial Segundo Joseph Ratzinger
Authors: Hohemberger Gilcemar
Published: September 2022

: A imagem do sacerdócio católico, tal como foi validamente definida pelo Concílio de Trento e reafirmada e aprofundada pelo Concílio Vaticano II à luz da Bíblia, entrou em crise profunda depois do Concílio. Diante da visão cultural dominante, que abrange cada vez menos o sagrado e prioriza a “funcionalidade” (concepção sócio-funcional), a concepção católica do sacerdócio corre o risco de perder a sua consideração natural (sacramentalontológica). Joseph Ratzinger, um dos mais influentes teólogos do último século, desenvolve uma reflexão pertinente sobre a natureza do ministério sacerdotal na qual o ontológico está relacionado ao serviço, destacando a excelência, a necessidade e a indefectibilidade do sacerdócio ministerial. Nessa linha de pensamento, partiremos da fundamentação do ministério do Novo Testamento, demonstrando o sacerdócio como participação na missão de Cristo.
Дистрес при цукровому діабеті

Published: September 2022

Стресорні чинники викликають у різних людей і навіть в однієї людини відмінні й навіть протилежні реакції. Вплив різноманітних чинників на організм можливо розподілити за силою дії на підпорогові, порогові, стресові (надзвичайні) та руйнівні. При виникненні стресових ситуацій в організмі людини активуються резерви адаптації. Тривала дія сильних стресорів з різко негативною емоційною оцінкою і можливими небажаними згубними наслідками для здоров’я спричиняє формування «дистресу» — прояву найбільш руйнівного стресорного ефекту. Дистрес — стан, при якому людина не в змозі повністю адаптуватися до стресових ситуацій та спричинених ними наслідків. Для нього характерні втома, дратівливість, втрата сексуального потягу до партнера і ряд індивідуальних особливостей. Дистрес може виявлятися у 2 формах — гострій та хронічній. При гострій формі надмірно сильний стресор викликає значний викид катехоламінів і глюкокортикоїдів, підвищення кров’яного тиску і різке пригнічення імунітету. При хронічному дистресі сильний стресор призводить до виснаження резервів цих гормонів. Це створює тло для формування важкої депресії. Дистрес при тривалому перебігу може призводити до неврозів та психозів. Дані багатьох досліджень свідчать, що у хворих на цукровий діабет (ЦД) часто зустрічається низка психологічних проблем і психічних розладів. Для ЦД характерна гіперактивація симпатоадреналової та гіпоталамо-гіпофізарної системи, що сприяє виділенню стресових гормонів і підвищенню нервово-психічної напруги на тлі хронічного стресу. Відзначається двонапрямна взаємодія між ЦД та стресом — з одного боку, стрес сприяє розвитку захворювання, а з іншого боку, при ЦД посилюється стресорна реакція і створюються передумови формування дистресу. Психологічний дистрес є однією з причин зниження фізичної активності людини внаслідок депресивних настроїв, які можуть виникати на тлі ЦД, внаслідок чого перебіг захворювання ускладнюється. Дистрес посилює страждання хворих і впливає на результативність лікування. У хворих на ЦД дистрес виявляється у 2 рази частіше, ніж у людей без ЦД. Дистрес потребує відповідних засобів для його вивчення. Поєднання таких чинників, як наявність ЦД, перенесене захворювання на COVID-19, а також страждань, викликаних війною, можуть сприяти обтяженню розвитку діабетичного дистресу. У публікації розглянуті питання підходів для дослідження дистресу і його особливостей у хворих на ЦД, зокрема, у постковідному періоді та в умовах війни.

Генералізований пародонтит є одним із найпоширеніших стоматологічних захворювань, у розвитку та прогресуванні якого відіграє роль чимало факторів. Відповідно до сучасних парадигм патогенезу генералізованого пародонтиту, вагому роль у розвитку даного захворювання відіграють порушення мікробіоценозу ротової порожнини, стану імунної системи організму. Важливе значення в підтримці гомеостазу порожнини рота мають антимікробні пептиди, які на сьогодні розглядаються як природні ендогенні антибіотики та справляють опосередкований вплив на підвищення продукції IgA, IgG, перешкоджають утворенню мікробної плівки на поверхні зуба. Також слід зауважити, що важливим аспектом у прогресуванні генералізованого пародонтиту є наявність супутніх соматичних патологій. Дослідження коморбідності захворювань порожнини рота та внутрішніх органів і систем на сьогодні є актуальним питання. У наш час велика увага клініцистів та науковців прикута до таких захворювань шлунково-кишкового тракту, як глютен-асоційовані захворювання, до яких належать: целіакія, непереносимість глютену без целіакії тощо. Нерідко в пацієнтів із такими глютен-асоційованими захворюваннями відмічаються різноманітні прояви в порожнині рота.

The people of Batu Ampar Village often come into direct contact with coral reefs, resulting in activities that have a positive or negative impact on the coral reef ecosystem. The use of coral reefs as building materials has had an adverse effect on the sustainability of coral reefs. Massive use also has side effects on fishermen who live in Batu Ampar Village, making it difficult to find fish on the coast of Palmatak Island. The purpose of this research is to find out the activities and assumptions of the people of Batu Ampar Village on coral reefs which can be seen from the activities carried out by the community in their daily lives. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method, namely conducting research by describing the appropriate conditions in the field without any data manipulation. The data were obtained using the In-Depth Interview method, namely interviews conducted in depth with informal conditions without any pressure on the informants. Information obtained by the Snowball method, which is looking for data from many informants, then the data is used to find actual facts according to the conditions in the field. The results of the study show that the use of coral reefs has been carried out for a long time and has had a negative effect on fishing communities, this can occur due to a lack of supervision from the authorities so that people are free to carry out activities using coral reefs. However, with strict supervisors and the development of education in Batu Ampar Village, making the community understand the importance of maintaining the coral reef ecosystem, the community began to maintain the coral reef ecosystem, this can be seen from the use of traditional fishing rods that do not damage nature and the use of clumps as tools environmentally friendly fishing.

This paper describes a semiotic analysis of the message in the film there is a heaven in your home, where in this film there are many messages that we can take as an illustration for us in respecting our parents. Seeing the existing developments, films are no less competitive in distributing a message, because da'wah is not only focused on a lecture. However, da'wah is something that invites others to goodness, both in terms of behavior, speech or something written. Seeing the elements of da'wah requires a medium. Thus, it is not uncommon for creative artists to cover a film to be used as a medium for conveying a message. This study is a qualitative research which uses the semiotic analysis of Roland Brathes' theory as a reference to distinguish between signs, signs and myths in the film Ada Surga Dirumahmu. Based on the data collected, it shows that in the film There is a Heaven in Your Home, there are many messages that we can take for us to apply in our lives.

Benditos
Authors:   , Bezerra Luis Hermano Cavalcante
Published: September 2022

Benditos is the given name to a set of old chants from the religious repertoire, particularly in the country part of northeast Brazil. This Portuguese word stands for "blessed" and is customarily performed by old devotees. I was touched by a documentary produced as a result of a dissertation written by the ethnomusicologist Ewelter Rocha. In this work, the researcher aimed to investigate why some works of the traditional collection of sacred songs were refused by the new generation of Catholics as they reprove the devotional practices based on penitence. While reading the dissertation, the disagreement between contemporary Catholics and the old devotees emerged as an important idea for the piece. Musically speaking, the conflict of dynamics in different groups of instruments underlines the dichotomy between different generations. The tape part also reflects this antagonism through fragmented and muffled expositions of the original chants as a way of depicting the rejection coming from the modern religious order. This contrast is broadly illustrated in the dissertation while describing the habits of that community. An extract that provides some context of the atmosphere described above goes as follows. "The mass and its praises take place normally without disturbing the silence of those people who, with their faces saddened by something that cannot be seen, seem to obey the government of another ceremony."
Exploring special events' potential to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: a study of salient factors in a local festival during COVID-19
Authors:   , Coleman Amy
Published: September 2022

Special events have gained popularity due to their ability to contribute to the sustainability of a destination by promoting the destination image, attracting tourism, driving economic growth, and building cultural capacity. However, in 2020, the world was forced to confront a conundrum, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic not only caused high levels of disruption across the hospitality and tourism sectors but also catalyzed major social upheaval. With the rise in xenophobia and racism during the pandemic, the function of special events in society is even more essential. While existing research has examined the social impacts of events, the impacts of attendee perceptions and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) outcomes have not been addressed. In an effort to address this gap, this study explores special events' potential to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion experience through a study of a local festival during COVID-19. Through a series of statistical analyses, attendees' perception of the festival was identified to be the most salient in predicting personal DEI experience, particularly festival DEI practices and the trust of other festival attendees. Moreover, there were significant variations in attendee festival perception between high and low levels of festival pride and perceived risk of COVID-19. Overall, the findings of this study support the idea that special events, such as festivals, promote diversity, equity, and inclusion which can contribute to the enhancement of socially sustainable event planning and management practices.
Finding prehistoric roots of the two-spirit tradition in the North American Southwest
Authors:   , Deimeke Mikaela
Published: September 2022

We demonstrate the antiquity of the Native American two-spirit tradition using mortuary data from the North American Southwest. A two-spirit person embodies a liminal combination of masculine and feminine spirits and participates in both male and female gender roles. Each group has its own name(s), but the general third/fourth gender category of "two-spirit" is increasingly used with the growth of LBGTQIPI2S+ research and activism. The ubiquity of two-spirit traditions across North America and their presence in many origin stories suggests ancient roots of the tradition. We correlate individuals' sex and grave goods of burials from Paquime, Wind Mountain, and Hawikuh to find burials indicative of two-spirits. We identify four possible two-spirit burials (reflecting third-gendered individuals) and two burials that may reflect gender fluidity (overlap in the general categories of men and women). We also address the methodological challenge of differentiating between third genders and gender fluidity in the past.
Exploring gender diversity in top level management teams with the hospitality industry
Authors:   , Diederich Mallory
Published: September 2022

The Hospitality Management industry is one of the largest industries in the United States, employing nearly 10 percent of the country's entire population. Of those employees, 55.5 percent of them are female (Leisure and Hospitality, 2022). Despite having entered the 21st century, important differences still exist between the job conditions and outcomes of males and females. While the participation rate of females in the industry is higher than that of men, they still appear to work more hours and receive lower pay. In addition, men tend to hold higher positions involving more responsibility and complex tasks. Significant research has examined the financial implications related to gender in the workplace, however there is a limited body of knowledge concerning the determinants of experiences based on gender differences. In an effort to address this gap, this study investigates the determinants of employees' experiences within the United States hospitality management industry in relation to their gender as well as the presence of occupational segregation. Furthermore, this study discusses the implications of gender within the hospitality industry through a quantitative and qualitative approach. The findings of this study support the presence of vertical and horizontal occupational segregation within the industry and significant variations in experiences related to upward mobility and job opportunities between genders. Additionally, the qualitative portion of this study provides important concepts related to employees' conceptualization of gender in the workplace and theoretical explanations behind their ability to succeed in Top Management Teams (TMTs).
The influence of climate and population structure on East Asian skeletal morphological variation
Authors:   , Cho Elizabeth O.
Published: September 2022

Objectives: Recent studies have shown that global variation in body proportions is more complex than previously thought as some traits formerly associated with climate adaptation are better explained by geographic proximity and neutral evolutionary forces. While the recent incorporation of quantitative genetic methodologies has improved understanding of selection due to climate in Africa, Europe, and the Americas; Asia remains underrepresented in recent and historic studies of body form. As ecogeographic studies tend to focus on male morphology, potential sex differences in features influenced by climate and magnitude of selection remain largely unexplored. Materials and Methods: Skeletal measurements encompassing the dimensions of the skull, pelvis, limbs, hands, and feet were collected from male (N = 459) and female (N = 442) remains curated in 13 collections across seven countries in East Asia (N = 901). Osteological data were analyzed with sex and minimum temperature as covariates adjusted by autosomal SNP population genetic distance using univariate Bayesian linear mixed models, and credible intervals were calculated for each trait. Results: Analysis confirmed a relationship between specific traits and climate as well as the magnitude of response in both sexes. After accounting for genetic distance between populations, greater evidence for selection was found acting upon postcranial traits, with the influence of climate on the skull limited primarily to breadth measurements. Larger body size is selected for in colder climates with most measurements increasing with decreased temperature. Selection did not always act upon the same traits in males and females or with the same intensity for both sexes. Discussion: The varied directional selection pressure of climate for different regions of the skeleton and between the sexes underscores the necessity of future ecogeographic research to holistically evaluate body form and to look for sex-specific patterns to better represent population responses to environmental stresses.
Utilizing commercial soil sensing technology for agronomic decisions
Authors:   , Conway Lance S.
Published: September 2022

Planters with mounted proximal soil sensing systems can densely quantify seed zone soil variability. Technology now allows for real-time sensor information to control multiple row-unit functions on-the-go (e.g., planting depth). These and other developing sensor-based control systems have the potential to greatly improve correctness when planting, and therefore row-crop performance. For sensor-based control to be widely adopted, practitioners must understand the precision and utility of the systems. Therefore, research was conducted to: (i) determine how well commercially available sensors can estimate soil organic matter (OM) and whether sensor output was repeatable among sensing dates; (ii) evaluate OM prediction accuracy across selected soils and soil volumetric water contents with both a commercially-available, planter-mounted sensor, and machine learning techniques applied to multiple combinations of soil reflectance bands within the visible and near infrared spectrum; and (iii) investigate if planter and other proximal soil sensor data, in combination with topographic features, could predict field-scale corn emergence rate at varying planting depths. Results found that commercial sensors could estimate general trends in spatial variability of OM, but that some inconsistencies were associated with a "global" calibration that appeared susceptible to temporal variations in soil water content. In the controlled environment, results for sensor estimation of OM were similar to the field study. Further, results showed that spectral information within the entire range used by the commercial systems evaluated was required to consistently predict OM at varying volumetric water contents. Lastly, the field-scale agronomic analysis found that inherent soil and landscape variability drove the emergence rate response at the site. However, planter metrics were still useful
Democracy beyond hard news: cultural journalism and the humanistic role
Authors:   , Fuzy Jeremiah
Published: September 2022

This project makes the case that a new humanistic role should exist alongside the previously established monitorial, facilitative, radical, and collaborative journalistic roles outlined by Christians et al. (2009). Normative theory typically concerns itself with "hard" news when addressing the relationship between journalism and democracy, but through the application of Deweyan political philosophy it becomes possible to see how purportedly "soft" news, such as cultural journalism, also performs an important normative role. This blind spot can be partially traced to the complicated history between journalism studies and the humanities, resulting in the current landscape where cultural journalism is largely absent from scholarship within journalism ethics. Through analyzing both industry metacoverage and public-facing metajournalistic discourse it is clear that there is something important already regularly occurring within cultural journalism (such as literary journalism or arts criticism) that previous normative frameworks have failed to capture. The humanistic role is important to democracy in a similar manner to that of informal civic groups that help citizens learn how to form identities and nurture empathy for one another. Humanistic journalism may only be indirectly related to politics, but it serves to illuminate possibilities for how to live the good life within a particular community. Journalism's humanistic role contains unique motivations, norms, and practices that demonstrate why some "soft" news is not beyond democracy but vital to it.
Candidate emergence and the first party era, 1789-1816
Authors:   , Gooch Aric Dale
Published: September 2022

My dissertation evaluates the development of candidate in the early republic, 1788-1816. The creation of nomination procedures to structure candidate emergence informs our understanding on the development of political parties and American democratization. I investigate federal and state-level candidate emergence in four states: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Ohio. I study these states because of their variation in regional political culture, electoral systems, and electoral competition. My primary data are obtained from period newspapers. These detail candidate emergence and nomination methods used in state legislative and congressional elections. Building on extant theories of party development, I present my own theory to explain the development of candidate emergence and compare development patterns across states. I find political parties developed clear procedures that were relatively durable over time to structure candidate emergence. This is a key indicator of party development. Further, these procedures generally provided for meaningful grassroots participation making them effective agents of democratization.
