Authors: Arihan Maitra  , Akshay Talati
Published: November 2024

Swimming offers a myriad of benefits for both physical and mental well-being. As a full-body workout, it engages various muscle groups and promotes cardiovascular health, strength, and endurance. The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints, making it an ideal exercise for individuals with arthritis or mobility issues. Swimming is an activity one can ultimately do throughout their entire life because of the low impact which makes it a suitable way to exercise for elderly people to promote longevity. However, swimming can cause dry, itchy skin and atopic dermatitis due to barrier disruption. Chronic exposure to chlorine and its lesser-known byproducts in swimming pools is not widely studied and its negative impact on skin barrier and hair is not generally discussed, underscoring the urgent need for further research and awareness in this area. There is a significant need and opportunities to create new product formulation strategies to address the chronic effects of chlorine and its byproducts on skin & hair.
Struck by the Arrow of Beauty: Saturated Phenomena and the (Theo)Drama of Subjectivity
Authors: Power Cormac
Published: November 2024

This article is concerned with theological aesthetics and aims to show how aesthetic modes of experience create a context in which a subject can understand their existence in terms of (Christian) spiritual drama. It considers the ideas of twentieth-century Catholic theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar and of contemporary phenomenologist Jean-Luc Marion in order to show how aesthetic experience acts as a gateway through which the experiencing subject enters into a new, dramatically constituted spiritual space. Finally, this article illustrates this conception of a dramatized spiritual life by considering the writings of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. Saint Thérèse, the author argues, models how a life that is otherwise obscure and “undramatic” may be “lifted” into the dramatic mode through experiences of faith as filtered through what Marion calls “saturated phenomena.”

The foundation of Indian theatre is rooted in the ancient folk theatre. The paper aims to explore the Indian ethics and values depicted in the selected saangs, a form of Haryanvi folklore, of Baaje Bhagat which consciously or unconsciously guides the spectators to follow the ethical and moral code of conduct. Since their inception, saangs have emerged as a strong and powerful medium of communal expression. Their narratives encapsulate the fundamentals of human expression – love, morality, courage and the persistent struggle between the good and the evil. Despite the various modern adaptations to saangs and Folk theatre, the underpinnings of expressionist reality remain unchanged. Humans are characterized by their capacity of thought and reasoning. Through the application of the Indian doctrine of purusharthas on the selected Saangs, one learns how these great people have understood, connected and navigated themselves in the times of crisis, challenges and complexities of life within a community, thus, directing people to the path of ethical conduct. Ergo, saangs play an intriguing role in shaping our identity as a human being, individually and collectively, since antiquity to the contemporary times.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: To compare the effects of orienteering vs hiking on the physical fitness and quality of life of older adults. Methods: A 24-week randomized controlled trial was conducted with 96 participants who were assigned to orienteering (OG), hiking (HG), or a control group (CG) with no intervention. Physical fitness was assessed with the handgrip strength, chair stand, 6-minute walk, sitand-reach, and balance tests, with monitoring of blood pressure (BP) and resting heart rate. Generalized Estimating Equations were used for within- and between-group comparisons, with effect sizes (ES) calculated. Baseline and post-intervention differences were assessed using unpaired and paired tests. Results: Significant improvement in balance were observed, with OG reducing their time by -6.23 seconds (29.1%; ES = 0.83) and HG by -2.12 seconds (9.9%; ES = 0.49), p = 0.017. For paired effects, hemodynamic parameters showed a reduction in systolic (p = 0.014) and diastolic (p < 0.001) BP in the OG and in diastolic BP (p < 0.004) in the HG. Interaction effects were significant for all physical fitness and hemodynamic parameters compared with the CG (p < 0.001) compared with the CG (p = 0.571). Conclusion: Older adults participating in orienteering and hiking experienced improvement in their physical fitness and quality of life, with orienteering showing a greater effect on balance. These activities are valuable for healthy aging programs, as sedentary behavior should be prevented. This trial was registered at the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry (REBEC): RBR-99jmmpf.
Psychoanalytic Criticism of Ifesinachi Nwadike’s How Morning Remembers The Night
Authors: Olaniyan Kolawole Dennis , Owoeye Omolara Kikelomo
Published: November 2024

In recent times, it appears Nigerian poets are influenced by changes in the country's social-political and economic landscape to such an extent that their artistic expressions are thought to have tilted towards psychological dimension. This observation transcends the social commitment and ideological inclinations often identified with the poets in the past. Therefore, this paper attempts a psychoanalytic criticism of Ifesinachi Nwadike’s poetry, How Morning Remembers the Night, focusing on the instances of psychosocial disorder as an association of socio-economically induced psychological conditions that find expression in the collection. Conceptualising this condition, the study adopts a descriptive research method premised on critical analysis in which attention is given to symptomatic elements like the persona’s recollected experiences, tone and cathartic disposition. Here, a synthesis of the theoretical paradigms of psychoanalysis proposed by Sigmund Freud and Erich Fromm is found rewarding in providing a framework for the conception of the poetry as the persona’s dream text. The study discovers that the psychosocial disorders identified in the collection symptomatically find expression in the poetic persona’s tone in form of emotional disturbances and that they are triggered by memories of societal failings. Consequently, the persona displays the identities of an aggrieved songbird and a griot whose memory is clouded by grief and anguish in reaction to societal foibles. The paper concludes that certain psychosocial disturbances that are noticeable among Nigerian citizens under the same unfavorable societal conditions have permeated Nwadike’s poetry.
Dystopian Humour and Postcolonial Anomie in Femi Osofisan's Midnight Hotel
Authors: Ogunrotimi Olumide
Published: November 2024

This article explores the intersection of humour and postcolonial themes in Femi Osofisan's Midnight Hotel through the lens of postcolonial contextualisation. Osofisan, a prominent Nigerian playwright, employs satire and dark humour to depict a dystopian society grappling with the protracted ramifications of colonialism. The play is the author's satirical condemnation of Nigeria’s debased value system, as he deconstructs a wasteland of underdevelopment, corruption, and amorality. The aim of the paper is to analyse how Osofisan critiques power structures, societal norms, and the failures of postcolonial governance through humour. Central to this analysis is the concept of "postcolonial anomie," referring to the moral and social disorientation experienced in societies transitioning from colonial rule to independence. Utilising a close textual analysis of the play’s major elements, the research methodology involves examining how Osofisan employs humour to depict and critique the dystopian reality of postcolonial Nigeria. The findings reveal that Osofisan's portrayal of postcolonial anomie through humour adds complexity to the narrative, highlighting both the absurdity and tragedy of the characters' predicaments. Moreover, the article uncovers how Osofisan incorporates dystopian elements to underscore the consequences of unchecked power and corruption, offering a cautionary tale about the dangers of authoritarianism and neocolonialism. By blending satire with poignant social commentary, Midnight Hotel emerges as a powerful vehicle for critiquing contemporary issues within the postcolonial context. In conclusion, this article contributes to the understanding of Osofisan's literary legacy and the role of humour in interrogating complex sociopolitical dynamics in postcolonial societies.
Review: Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War: A Memoir
Authors: Opeyeoluwa Rotimi Olajide
Published: November 2024

This book is very interesting, insightful, engaging, and hard to put down. It is also spicy, informative, and illuminating in all ramifications about the Liberian war, and her personal life and it unearths the hidden criminalities of war on vulnerable groups. The book is about the evolution of an individual and a nation at war; how a person, that is, the author fought her personal “wars” and translated the enormous strength she developed within the intervening years to confront the warlords bent on annihilating her nation and people. She dared the demons and prevailed but it was indeed not an easy assignment that life’s battles had equipped her for. The structure of the book is logical with a prologue and twenty-one-chapters, filled with gripping personal details and others stories related to the war of attrition that defined that epoch.
Assessing the Role of the United Nations in Countering Global Terrorism: Issues and Challenges
Authors: Barshep Timbyen
Published: November 2024

Global attention has shifted to terrorism since 9/11 multiple terror attacks on the United States. The study examines the efficacy of the United Nations in galvanizing global effort against terrorism, 2001-2021. It argues that while the global body didn't envision the emergence of terrorism, the global body has strained apace with global issues, more so with terrorism both before and especially since the multiple terror attacks on the United States on 9/11. The United Nations has provided an outlet on global response. Employing the use of secondary source and relying on archival materials, the study found that the UN has since stopped efforts in leading consensus on the devastating impact of terrorism on global security if not quickly checked. Thus, unlike arguments by some critics, the UN, especially since 2001 has remained unrelenting in arguing for a global consensus for a unanimity to define terrorism. The study recommends that terrorism can best be defeated with a shift in the structure of the international system from the perception of the ''we versus them'' approach to an all-embracing system coordinated by the United Nations.

This study assesses the mitigating causes of teenagers’ involvements in money rituals and related activities in Ogun State. The study sets out to assess the factors responsible for the pandemic of money ritual and suggests solutions to the upsurge of money ritual related killings among teenagers.  The study employed a descriptive research design.  The population for this study consists of all residences in Abeokuta South and Ado-Odo/Ota local government areas of Ogun state. Participants were selected using a purposive random sampling procedure. The main instrument for this study is a self-structured questionnaire tagged: “Teenager and Money Rituals Killings Questionnaire” (TMRKQ). (R =0.82). Data collected was coded and analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation.  The results show that factors such as greediness on the part of teenagers and peer group pressure contributed to teenagers' involvement in money rituals and factors such as promotion of hard work, good values system and conducts among the youths will reduce youth tendency of engaging in money rituals. Based on the findings, it is suggested that the government should punish offenders to serve as a deterrent to others and the government should improve on intelligent gathering techniques in reducing cases of money rituals killings in the country.
African Metaphysics and Praxis: Revisiting the Idea of Human Development in Yoruba Metaphysical Notion of Omoluabi
Authors: Lawal Ademola Lukman
Published: November 2024

The discourse on African metaphysics as it relates to human development is centered around the notion of personhood predominantly extractable from the layers of oral and written traditions across African cultural worldviews. This research aims to critically evaluate the idea of African metaphysics in the light of inquiries surrounding the meaning and nature of human development, through an interrogation of the concept of person and personhood, expressed within the subsets of African socio-cultural conceptualisations, particularly the Yoruba notion of Omoluabi, which will form a crucial layer of engagement for this research. Basically, while (on the one hand); the tendency to see a generic theory of human personality or personhood as tenable everywhere would create a clash of realities in different climes and cultures, (on the other) the differences from culture to culture are perceived dialogically as handed on through stories and histories of human development from birth until death. To this end, this research will interrogate the concept of human development on the basis of how socialisation processes specifically seen through the agencies of local folklores and folktales, customs and traditions tend to interact with, influence as well as impact upon the individual view of self and the other as it relates to the conception of personality, and its succeeding roles within the community. Keywords: Africa, Metaphysics, Communitarianism, Personhood, Human Development.

Published: November 2024

A alface é cultivada em todo Brasil e consumida principalmente em forma de salada, sendo rica em vitaminas A e B. Os maiores produtores mundiais são Estados Unidos, China e Índia, já no Brasil é a terceira hortaliça mais produzida e o estado de São Paulo é o maior produtor e consumidor. No cultivo da alface a produção de mudas é a fase mais importante. Para obter uma muda de qualidade a composição do substrato é de grande importância para o desenvolvimento das plantas. No mercado existe substratos comerciais que são encontrados em casas agropecuária, porém podem ser utilizados substratos alternativos, no entanto os substratos alternativos muitas vezes não possuem nutrientes necessários que as plantas precisam, então é feito a suplementação desses nutrientes com solução nutritiva. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de avaliar diferentes substratos e níveis de solução nutritiva para a produção de mudas de alface. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação no Instituto Federal de Alagoas - (IFAL), no Campus Piranhas. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, onde o primeiro fator foram as seguintes concentrações de solução nutritiva (Parcelas): 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% e 0%. O segundo fator (subparcelas) foram os substratos: S1: Bioplant® (comercial); S2: Maxfertil® (comercial); S3: solo + esterco bovino (1:1); S4: solo + esterco ovino (1:1); S5: solo + esterco bovino + esterco ovino (1:1:1); S6: solo + esterco bovino + areia (1:1:1); S7: solo + esterco ovino + areia (1:1:1) e S8: solo + esterco bovino + esterco ovino + areia (1:1:1:1). A cultivar de alface utilizada foi a crespa veneranda. As variáveis avaliadas foram: comprimento da raiz (CR), comprimento da parte aérea (CPA), número de folhas totais (NFT), número de folhas definitivas (NFD), massa da matéria fresca da parte aérea (MFPA), massa seca da parte aérea (MSPA), massa fresca da raiz (MFRA) e a massa seca da raiz (MSRA). Os substratos comerciais Bioplant® e Maxfértil® proporcionam boas mudas, porém precisam ser suplementados com maior concentração de solução nutritiva, o que aumenta o custo de produção. Para a maioria dos substratos as concentrações de 25 e 50% de solução nutritiva proporcionaram melhores características agronômicas. Os substratos alternativos recomendados para a produção de mudas de alface são o S4 (solo + esterco ovino) (1:1) e o S8 (solo + esterco bovino + esterco ovino + areia) (1:1:1:1) suplementados com 25% de solução nutritiva.

Cartilage has limited self-repair ability due to its complex structure and chondrocytes' relatively low metabolic activities. Functional repair of articular cartilage defects is a significant challenge for cartilage tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and platelet-rich fibrin membrane (PRFM) in repairing damaged articular cartilage in rabbit. They were subjected to osteochondral lesion and randomly into five groups: Group A, evaluated immediately after injury; Group B, natural evolution the injury; Group C, MSC; Group D, PRFM and Group E, MSC+ PRFM. Animals in Group A were euthanized after removing the cartilaginous flap, while animals in Groups B, C, D, and E were euthanized 60 days. The regeneration of the lesion was evaluated by analyzing its residual extension, as well as the density of chondrocytes and chondroblasts in the regenerated tissue adjacent to the lesion. Results, the Group E (MSC + PRFM) showed a greater reduction in the lesion size and a greater density of chondrocytes and chondroblasts in the regenerated and adjacent tissue compared to the other groups. Our results indicate that the combination of MSC and PRFM can successfully resurface the defect with cartilage and restore the subchondral bone in the specie studied, being effective in reducing hyaline cartilage defects; however, the combination of MSC and PRFM products might be more or less appropriate for treating different types of tissues and pathologies. The clinical efficacy of PRP remains under debate. Therefore, further research is needed at both the basic science and clinical levels.

The present study evaluated the influence of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BM-SC) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) on histological changes in intervertebral disc (IVD). A randomized clinical trial was conducted, thirty-six healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly distributed into four different groups (n=9): con-trol group (A), stem cell group (B), chondroitin sulfate group (C), and associa-tion of stem cells with chondroitin sulfate group (D). All animals underwent the experimental disc degeneration procedure. Group A received two intradiscal applications of DEM (Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium), one and two weeks after intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), while group B received two intradiscal applications of 1.2 x 106 BM-SC at the same time interval as group A. After IVDD, group C received eight subcutaneous applications of CS at a dose of 5 mg/kg, one application every seven days. In contrast, group D received the association of the techniques used in groups B and C. Sixty days after the end of the interventions, all animals were euthanized, then the crani-ocaudal thickness of the IVD was measured, and IVDD was classified in scores according to the histological grading model. All groups that received CS had thicker IVDs, and all the treated groups presented better scores on several items and a better overall score. It was possible to conclude that in the species studied, the isolated use of CS or BM-SC was statistically significant in improv-ing the histopathological aspects of IVDD, however, the combination of treat-ments did not prove to be more efficient.

How 808 bass affect people's mental performance
Authors: Guo Siqi
Published: November 2024

This article delves into the "rage music" trend led by Trippie Redd through his song "Miss the Rage" in 2021, particularly focusing on the psychological implications of the pivotal 808 bass drum within this genre. Originating from the Roland TR-808 drum machine, the 808 bass, with its deep and prolonged tone, has become an iconic element in hip-hop music, eliciting potent psychological and physiological responses from listeners. Research indicates that the 808 bass not only stimulates emotional arousal and excitement due to its unique sonic characteristics but may also trigger aggressive behavior as a result of its long-term association with provocative content. While this connection necessitates substantial repetition to establish, the widespread dissemination of hip-hop music has significantly manifested the provocative effect of the 808 bass within specific demographics. Furthermore, the high volume and multimodal perception of the 808 bass during mental performance contribute to the aggressive behavior of audiences. Nevertheless, the study acknowledges that the direct link between the 808 bass and mental performance requires further investigation, taking into account factors such as cultural backgrounds and listening environments.
Research Progress of Lithium Iron Phosphate in the Cathode of Lithium-Ion Battery
Authors: Xia Zihan
Published: November 2024

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been a new candidate for various industries. Unlike other types of lead-acid batteries, LIBs have a very high energy density, power density, and nominal voltage, making them a beneficial choice of battery for many electronic devices like electric vehicles. The role of cathode material in the battery is to start the electrochemical reaction, and the rate capacity is highly dependent on the ion-diffusion rate at the cathode. This makes the cathode the most critical component in the battery. Therefore, it is essential to have excellent cathode material to perform its function. Lithium iron phosphate has always been a desirable cathode material due to its stable structure, high safety, and low cost. By choosing the appropriate material, high capacity and performance can be achieved. By modifying the material through different strategies, LFP has the potential to exceed its theoretical capacity and be applied in the broader field of the electronics industry. First, this article focuses on a comparison of different cathode materials and explains why LFP is superior. Then, it will introduce the synthesis methods, including solid-state, hydrothermal, and sol-gel methods. Finally, it will discuss ways to modify LFP, including nanostructured LFP, carbon coating, and doping. This paper aims to serve as a guide and reference for research in the battery industry.

"Crazy Women" in Chinese and Foreign Literature: A Comparison of Ophelia in Hamlet and Fanyi in Thunderstorm
Authors: Li Duan
Published: November 2024

Ophelia in Hamlet and Fanyi in Thunderstorm are both female characters in literary works that have developed into being seen as "crazy" by others in the later stages. However, one work was created in Europe from the 16th to the 17th century, and the other in China from the 20th century. How can the similarities between these two female characters reflect the marginalization commonality of women in two different times and societies? What significance can the differences between these two roles inspire for the development of contemporary feminism? Driven by these objectives, this paper delves into two masterpieces in the literary treasure trove - Shakespeare's classic tragedy Hamlet and Cao Yu's modern play Thunderstorm and conducts a comparative study of gender roles that crosses time and space through a delicate analysis of their personalities and in-depth exploration of their experiences. At the level of "otherness", both female roles have the characteristic of lacking discourse power. However, from the perspective of her native personality, Ophelia is weaker and more passive, while Fanyi tends to be stronger and more active. Within different destinies, the two characters embarked on vastly different life trajectories. The two stories are like two prisms, reflecting the spectrum of women's survival status in the changing times. From obedience to struggle, the two characters outline an unfinished chapter about the awakening of feminism consciousness.

Authors: Yin Yiping
Published: November 2024

The Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions in China are two key areas of rapid economic development, and research has found that a large number of migrants from rural areas have been formed as a result of the rapid development of the urban agglomerations in the region, however, there is still a certain research gap on the comparison of the rural labour force populations of the two regions due to the different attractiveness of the rural transfer population in the two regions as well as the differences in the various local policies. Therefore, this paper reads the literature to compare the impact of the progress of urbanization in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta on the economic status of rural migrants in China. The study finds that the Yangtze River Delta mainly attracts high-end technical talents while the Pearl River Delta attracts more migrant workers. Therefore, the governments of the two regions need to implement practical policies to provide migrants with corresponding protection.

Research on the Coupling and Coordination Relationship between Digital Economy and Green Development in Guangdong Province
Authors: Xiong Zhihui
Published: November 2024

Green development enabled by the digital economy is an important engine for economic growth. The article empirically investigates the spatial and temporal evolution of the coupling and coordination between the digital economy and green development by constructing an index system of the digital economy and green development, and by selecting the panel data of 21 prefectural cities in Guangdong Province in the period of 2012-2022. The study finds that, in terms of external spatial distribution, there is a large gap between the level of digital economy and green development in each city, and the development is not balanced; the gap between the two major coupling levels in each city is more obvious, presenting an uneven pattern of “center-edge”. In terms of intra-city development, the level of coupling and coordination between the digital economy and green development of each city from 2012 to 2022 shows an upward trend, reaching the level of primary coordination to good coordination, but the overall level is still not high, and there is still a certain gap from realizing high-quality coordination. Accordingly, in order to promote the interconnection of digital economy and green development, the article puts forward a series of policy recommendations to promote the deep integration of industrial digitization and greening among cities, adhering to the innovation-driven, and facilitating the coordinated development based on the differentiated resources of cities.
