Authors: Kour Jasdeep , Gupta Adit
Published: May 2021

The study assessed students' perceptions of their technology-supported learning environments in teacher education classrooms in NAAC Accredited Colleges of Education in Jammu. The study is quantitative in nature and consisted of a sample of 150 students taken from two NAAC accredited colleges of education. The study utilizes the Technology Rich Outcome Focused Learning Environment Inventory (Aldridge and Fraser, 2003) modified by Gupta (2007). The results of the study reported that the modified TROFLEI was a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the learning environments in a technology-supported teacher education classroom. The assessment of the nature of the psycho-social learning environments revealed that students have a high mean score on all the scales of the TROFLEI and there are significant differences in the actual and preferred learning environments. Results showed that students usually want more teacher support, more cooperation and equity, more involvement and task orientation and more technology teaching than what they perceive is at present in a technology-supported learning environment. With regards to attitude towards technology, the students generally exhibited a positive attitude towards technology. Significant associations were also reported between the students' perceptions of their technology-supported learning environments and their attitudes toward technology. No significant gender differences were observed in the technologysupported learning environments.

Authors: Vinodh Kumar R.
Published: May 2021

The purpose of the present study was to investigate postgraduate students' attitude towards the teaching profession according to their gender, locality of residence, locality of educational institution, stream of study, and annual income of the parents. A descriptive survey design was adopted with a sample of 207 postgraduate students selected using a purposive sampling technique. A three-point attitude scale was constructed and validated by the investigator to collect data. The scale comprised of 40 statements including both positive and negative statements. The collected data were analysed with statistical techniques such as mean, standard deviation, and 't'-test. The results revealed that postgraduate students had favourable attitude towards the teaching profession. Further, it was found that the variables such as gender, locality of residence, locality of educational institution, stream of study, and annual income of the parents had no influence on postgraduate students' attitude towards the teaching profession. This shows that the postgraduate students had similar attitude towards the teaching profession.

Published: May 2021

Nowadays, professional development in organisations, particularly educational settings, has led to highest productivity, as it is considered as one of the organisational empowerment competencies. The present study was conducted to explain the share of spiritual leadership in envy management of faculty members of Islamic Azad Universities of East Azerbaijan province through the role of professional mediator. This study was a descriptive and correlational study that was conducted using structural equation modelling. The sample of this study consisted of all faculty members, of the rank of assistant professor or higher, in the academic year of 2014-2015 and 316 subjects were selected by Cochran formula. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between spiritual leadership and envy management of faculty members and professional development, so that in investigating the direct and indirect relationship between variables, spiritual management has been effective in organisational envy management. The proposed model enjoyed the goodness of fit. As a result, faculty members, with suitable professional development and the atmosphere of managers' spiritual leadership can prevent envy and these goals will be achieved when the professional development of faculty members in avoiding envy is seriously considered.

Authors: Kauts Deepa Sikand
Published: May 2021

“Education is a means to an end”, the statement has taken a backseat in the present context of the techno world. The quest for knowledge and truth should be undertaken for its own sake, is becoming the motto of everybody. Education is not primarily for livelihood, but for life as is stressed by the UNESCO. A balanced development of many dimensions of human personality i.e., physical, intellectual, moral, emotional, aesthetic, spiritual and social is the key to true education. The whole purpose of education is to realize the inner dignity of man which ultimately leads to an integral development of personality. The present research aims to explore the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns in relation to their socio-economic status. A total of 400 teachers and 400 teacher interns were taken as respondents from 10 Senior Secondary Schools and 5 colleges of education through simple random sampling in the sample frame of the present study. To measure the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns in relation to their socio-economic status, a survey questionnaire was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation and one-way ANOVA were employed to analyse and interpret the difference of data. After the analysis of data, it was found that the spiritual intelligence of teachers and teacher interns differs with regard to their socio-economic status.

Authors: Vashishtha Shivani , Ahuja Sona , Sharma Mani
Published: May 2021

With the present era being technology driven, social media has become an indispensable part of many people irrespective of their age. Among different age groups, the maximum users are adolescents and among different social networking sites (SNS), Facebook shares the major part of usage by them. Many adolescents are tending towards excessive usage of Facebook leading to its addiction. Does this addiction have negative influence on adolescents or it actually helps them to keep up with their counterparts and be socially connected to them for their betterment? This question is unanswered specifically when it concerns the impact that it has on the study habits and academic achievement of adolescents. The hypotheses were tested in order to explore the impact of six dimensions (mood modification, deficient self-regulations, salience, loss of control, withdrawal, and relapse) of Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD) using Bergens' Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS), developed by Andreassen (2012). The results are based on the survey conducted on 200 adolescents studying in different schools of India. The findings indicate that there is a significant negative impact of Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD) on study habits and academic achievement of adolescents. The major implication derived is that the higher the addiction to Facebook the study habit become poor and academic achievement decreases resulting in lower grades.

Published: May 2021

Introduction. Endoscopic Full-thickness Resection (EFTR) consists of the full-thickness resection of a limited portion of the digestive wall immediately followed by defect closure. This technique has been proposed for the resection of selected lesions not amenable to conventional endoscopic resection. Objective. The aim of this work is to describe the first three cases of colonic EFTR performed in Argentina. Material and methods. Three patients are described, one with a laterally spreading tumor of approximately 35-40 mm (n = 1) and two with an incomplete adenoma resection with a scar and a non-lifting sing (n = 2). After tumor delineation using a marking probe, EFTR was performed using the full thickness resection device (FTRD, Ovesco, Germany). Antibiotic prophylaxis was prescribed, abdominal plain film was performed 5 hours after the procedure and hospital discharge was granted after twenty four hours. Results. The resection of the lesions was macroscopically complete and no signs of perforation or significant bleeding were detected. Histopathological examination confirmed the complete resection of a tubulovillous (n = 2) and a tubular (n = 1) adenoma, all with high-grade dysplasia. No complications were detected during the follow up. Conclusion. It was concluded that the EFTR is an innovative technique that was effective and safe used in this small series of patients as an alternative to surgery.

Published: May 2021

Background. Allgrove Syndrome is a very rare genetic disease, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive way. The responsible gene is the AAAS, that encodes the protein ALADIN. It occurs most often in children of consanguineous parents. It is characterized by the classic triad of achalasia, alacrima, and adrenal insufficiency due to resistance to ACTH; the presence of two of the three previous manifestation events are required to establish the diagnosis. There is also a high frequency of the neurologic symptoms. Objective. Describe the clinical characteristics, age of presentation and evolution in 11 patients with Allgrove Syndrome. Methods. 11 clinical cases compatible with Allgrove Syndrome of presentation in childhood are retrospectively reviewed. Results. The average age at diagnosis was 5.9 years (range 1-16 years old). There was a predominance of the female sex (n = 7). The most common symptoms were postprandial vomiting and alacrima, present in 100% of the cases at the time of diagnosis. Adrenal insufficiency was not common; it was only documented in one patient. There was consanguinity between parents in 62.5% of the cases. Conclusions. Allgrove Syndrome is an uncommon cause of dysphagia, chronic vomiting and failure to grow in children. In case of any documented case of achalasia it is suggested to question in a directed way the presence of alacrima and adrenal insufficiency data such as seizures, hyperpigmentation of the skin and neurological alterations.

Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a danger-ous and potentially fatal condition with a multifactorial pathogenesis. NPPE is frequently a manifestation of upper airway obstruction, indeed the large negative intrathoracic pressure generated by forced inspiration against an obstructed airway is thought to be the main mechanism involved. The early detection of the signs of this syndrome is vital to the treatment and to patient outcome. The paper presents a case of NPPE due to post-extubation laryngospasm in a 14-year-old patient.
La denatalità e le prospettive
Authors: Masile Paolo
Published: May 2021

The decline in birth rate that Italy has suffered for many years and that has been underestimated by medias and politicians has been experienced as a new way of conceiving the family rather than as an economic calamity. Children are still perceived as a cost for the society rather than as a resource. On the contrary, the progressive decrease in birth rate is creating huge voids in many working fields connected with the presence of children which negatively affect the economy of the territory. Being aware of such a situation, the most advanced European countries have been making great financial and welfare efforts for a long time to increase their birth rates. Up to now the family support provisions that have been applied in Italy in the last few years have not led to an increase in the national birth rate.
Supply Chain Management Research Productivity and Growth: 2017–2019
Authors: Maloni Michael J. , Golara Sina , Lowman Graham H.
Published: May 2021

The supply chain management (SCM) discipline lacks resources to assess research performance, and our journals do not always receive fair recognition by other business disciplines. This study therefore extends a series of analyses dating back 50+ years to assess SCM publication productivity, evaluating the most productive schools across six journals as well as the associated growth of the base of SCM scholars. The results depict a relatively stable core set of productive schools, while relative research productivity remains mostly fluid outside this core set. In support, SCM author concentration results depict that the overall base of SCM scholars is continuing to expand without signs of slowing. Both SCM programs and individual scholars can apply the results to benchmark peers to improve research productivity and justify requests for resources at their schools. The results also help young scholars understand SCM research expectations and likewise target potential partners for collaboration. We close with thoughts for scholars, academic leaders, and journal editors, including the need for more international and multidisciplinary research collaboration as well as a greater diversity of schools graduating new SCM scholars. Additionally, SCM scholars and journals should revisit our historically strong ties to professional practice to enhance our research relevancy.

A case report on malignant perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm of the thigh, a rare presentation in the skin
Authors: Sinha Samridhi , Rajasekharan Rathnakumar Geethapriya , Guevara Elizabeth , Baqui Aam
Published: May 2021

Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms (PEComa) are a family of mesenchymal tumors characterized by perivascular epithelioid cells with co-expression of melanocytic and muscle markers and can occur in any part of the body. These tumors are almost always positive for HMB-45 and smooth muscle actin (SMA) immunochemistry. Perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasms tend to arise in middle age, and there is a marked female predominance. The tumors most commonly occur in the gynecologic tract, pelvis, and retroperitoneum. They are of varying malignant potential and are occasionally associated with tuberous sclerosis complex, a rare tumor driven by tuberous sclerosis complex gene mutations TSC1/2, causing up-regulation of mTOR. We present a case of malignant perivascular epithelioid cell neoplasm of the thigh, which is an exceedingly rare presentation in the skin.
Theosemiotic
Authors: Raposa Michael L.
Published: May 2021

This book is an attempt to adapt some of Peirce’s ideas, particularly his theory of semiotic, for the purpose of re-thinking certain issues in contemporary philosophical theology and the philosophy of religion. It begins with an historical sketch that links Peirce’s thought to that of earlier figures, certain contemporaries, and later thinkers and developments. Drawing on Peirce’s thought, the book then develops a semiotic conception of persons/selves and of community. It analyzes in some detail the role that acts of attention play in shaping human inferences and perception, while also exploring the relationship between attention, volition, and love. Its central Peircean presuppositions are that all human experience takes the form of semiosis and that the universe is “pefused” with signs. Theology is portrayed here in its manifestations as inquiry, therapy, and praxis. The book dramatically closes the gap between what would typically be recognized as the nature and purpose of a philosophical theology and a theology of the spiritual life. It draws on both Peirce’s logic of vagueness and his logic of relations to make sense out of how we talk about the nature and reality of God, and also about the relationship between different religious communities. Theosemiotic is portrayed here as a form of religious naturalism, broadly conceived. The book also argues that there is a natural affinity between a theosemiotic inspired by Peirce’s pragmatism and liberation theology.
Signs, Selves, and Semiosis
Authors: Raposa Michael L.
Published: May 2021

This chapter explores the potential significance for theology of Peirce’s characterization of the self as a sign. The chapter begins by exploring that idea as Peirce developed it and continues by comparing his view to those articulated by other thinkers such as Kierkegaard, James, Royce, Mead, and Bhaktin. Extending Peirce’s argument, the claim made here is that the human self is most adequately conceived as a “living legisign,” a bundle of habits giving more or less purpose and shape to the self’s story as it unfolds. The key to understanding the religious significance of the self thus portrayed lies in our recognition of its status both as a text to be read by others and as a reader engaged both in interpreting the world of signs and, meta-cognitively, in continuous acts of self-interpretation.
Philosophy for Children
Authors: Kidd Kenneth B.
Published: May 2021

Emphasizing the contributions of Matthew Lipman and Gareth Matthews, Chapter 1 examines the P4C movement, which promotes the idea that both children and children’s literature have philosophical tendencies. For P4C, to think philosophically means to think both critically and creatively. This vision of philosophy aligns with a similar understanding of theory. P4C got its start in the United States and has since spread to other countries and continents. At one point there were reportedly 5,000 P4C programs in the United States alone. P4C is enjoying a recent resurgence and continues to be influential worldwide. Chapter 1 examines the evolving use of children’s literature in P4C, as a way of understanding the mutualities of children’s literature and philosophy. P4C has helped to establish children’s literature as philosophical and ethical engagement, linking it with progressive education and children’s rights. It promises also to keep philosophy fresh for practitioners and the larger public. Contemporary PwC (philosophy with children) gives priority to the use of picturebooks.
Samuel Mazzuchelli, Rose Hawthorne Lathrop, and the Making of American Saints
Authors: Cummings Kathleen Sprows
Published: May 2021

The lives and ministries of Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli and Rose Hawthorne Lathrop testify to the capaciousness of the Dominican spirit and the extraordinary ways it has manifested itself in the United States. The Catholic Church is presently considering causes for canonization for both Mazzuchelli and Lathrop. This essay explores their trajectories as candidates for canonization, along with those of other recognized and prospective U.S. saints with whom their stories are intertwined. Using the lives and afterlives of Mazzuchelli and Lathrop, the essay situates the Dominican story in the broader historical landscape of US Catholicism. It also illustrates how US saints reflect the ways American Catholics navigate their identities within the Church, especially after the epochal shifts initiated by the Second Vatican Council and in light of the demographic and culture trends shaping contemporary US Catholicism.
Conclusion
Authors: Schulthies Becky L.
Published: May 2021

Using a cooking program viewing event, the conclusion reiterates how Moroccan sociality was calibrated through everyday talk about media and language. Just as a tagine (Moroccan stew and the clay pot in which it is cooked) has become a model or emblem of Moroccanness, and there are many ways and ingredients to make a tagine recognized as Moroccan, so too are there varied ways of relating semiotic mediation to Moroccanness. Fassis mobilized their heightened awareness and concern about channel/medium failures to do all kinds of uncoordinated political participation and sociality work, the phatic labor of Moroccanness.
The Sound—and Hearing—of Arvo Pärt
Authors: Bouteneff Peter C.
Published: May 2021

This chapter addresses two questions. The first—what is the sound of Pärt?—is an occasion to dismantle and then reassemble the notion that there is a “Pärt sound.” Attention is called to the radical sonic diversity within Pärt’s oeuvre, as well as to the galvanizing factors within it. The second question—what are we hearing when we listen to Pärt?—examines the importance of sacred text in Pärt’s compositions, and asks what (if anything) of the text might find its way to secular listeners. Is it enough that the text is meaningful to the composer?
Medieval Pärt
Authors: Albin Andrew
Published: May 2021

Supported by modernity’s desires, fantasies, and aversions toward the premodern past and a cultivated branding strategy, popular reception of Arvo Pärt commonly figures both man and music as embodiments of a kind of medieval mysticism. Taking this image as a cue for analysis, this chapter considers how the medieval, taken as a historical force that traverses chronological temporality, stands to expand our understanding of contemporary experiential encounters with Pärt’s music. The grounds of this analysis lie in the textuality and manuscript contexts of the writings of Richard Rolle of Hampole, Pärt’s musical and mystical counterpart of the English Middle Ages. Rolle’s mysticism encourages certain spiritualized styles of hearing sound and silence that, when applied to Pärt’s music in manuscript, edition, and performance, allow us recognize important qualities—medieval qualities—that otherwise go unnoticed in his music. Drawing on sound studies methodologies, the chapter thus asks not how Pärt is medieval, but what the medieval helps us hear in Pärt.
Deconstruction in a Nutshell
Authors: Derrida Jacques
Published: May 2021

This volume, now with a substantial new Introduction, represents one of the most lucid, compact and reliable introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any language. Responding to questions put to him at a roundtable held at Villanova University in 1994, Jacques Derrida leads the reader through an illuminating discussion of the central themes of deconstruction. Speaking in English and extemporaneously, Derrida takes up such topics as the task of philosophy, the Greeks, justice, responsibility, the gift, community, and the messianic. Derrida refutes the charges of relativism that are often leveled at deconstruction by its critics and sets forth the profoundly affirmative and ethico-political thrust of his work. The roundtable is marked by an unusual clarity that continues into the second part of the book, in which one of Derrida's most influential readers elaborates upon Derrida's comments and supplies material for further discussion. The new Introduction discusses the original context of the book and traces the development of deconstruction since Derrida's death in 2004, from the rise of new materialisms to return to religion. Long one of the most lucid and reliable introductions to Derrida and deconstruction available in any language, and an ideal volume for students, the book will also prove illuminating for those already familiar with Derrida's work.
Scientific Knowledge of University Students of Chile

Published: May 2021

Scientific research is becoming increasingly important in higher education, as it helps students to understand scientific knowledge and provides tools to construct and interpret the meaning of what science provides. This descriptive study compares the use of scientific knowledge by university according to age, entrance route and type of establishment, and verifies the possible relationships between variables. A questionnaire measuring the use of scientific knowledge (information search, knowledge transfer and knowledge contribution) was administered to 187 university students. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the use of scientific knowledge by indicator and in the total scores among the three universities. A positive correlation was observed between age with knowledge contribution and type of school and knowledge transfer with type of school. It is concluded that the type of school could be relevant to obtain better results in the contribution and transfer of scientific knowledge, although age could also contribute.
A Work in Progress: National Opioid Prescription Reductions Across Orthopaedic Subspecialties in a Contemporary Medicare Sample of 5,026,911 Claims

Published: May 2021

Introduction:

As the opioid epidemic continues in the United States, efforts by orthopaedic surgeons to reduce opioid prescriptions remain critical. Although previous studies have demonstrated reductions in prescriptions across surgical specialties, there is limited information regarding contemporary trends in opioid prescriptions across orthopaedic subspecialties. Our analysis sought to estimate the frequency and trends of opioid prescriptions among Medicare Part D enrollees.

Methods:

The Medicare Provider Utilization and Payment Data: Part D Prescriber Public Use Files from Centers of Medicare and Medicare from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. These data were merged with the National Provider Identifier Registry to identify the subspecialty of providers. Prescriber opioid prescription rate, days per claim, and claims per patient were calculated. Temporal trends were tested using linear regression. Poisson regression was used to calculate annual adjusted incidence rate ratios while controlling for year, surgeon sex, average patient comorbidity risk score, and average patient age.

Results:

We analyzed 5,026,911 opioid claims prescribed to 2,661,762 beneficiaries. Among all orthopaedic surgeons, the opioid prescription rate per 100 beneficiaries significantly decreased over the study period from 52.99 (95% CI, 52.6 to 53.37) to 44.50 (44.06 to 44.93) (P = 0.002). This decrease was observed for each subspecialty (all P values < 0.05). Similar significant reductions were appreciated across cohorts in the number of claims per beneficiary (all P values < 0.05). The opioid prescription rate among all orthopaedic surgeons and each subspecialty decreased significantly over the study period after controlling for various patient and surgeon characteristics (all P values < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Orthopaedic surgeons across subspecialties have reduced their rates of opioid prescriptions over recent years. Although increased prescription-limiting legislation, alternative methods of pain control, and prescriber reeducation regarding the correct quantity of opioids needed for postoperative pain relief, ongoing research, and efforts are needed to translate these reductions into clinically meaningful changes.

How Poverty Alleviation Efforts Manifest among Smallholder Groundnut Farmers in Eastern Zambia
Authors: Dillon David T. , Crosby Joshua A. , Young Alyson G.
Published: May 2021

Poverty alleviation and health promotion programs have become part and parcel of life in rural Zambia. It is critical to track the performance of these programs to assess the impact they have on the people involved. The purpose of this study is to ascertain barriers, specifically related to market access and crop yields, faced by smallholder groundnut farmers in Eastern Zambia following implementation of the PROFIT+ program. Focus group discussion and informants were selected based on participation in the PROFIT+. Interview data were then qualitatively analyzed to determine consistent themes among farmers. Farmers highlight three general barriers/risks that impacted both their economic well-being and health. In some cases, these barriers may act as feedback loops, health affecting economic productivity and vice versa. These include (a) a lack of adequate storage facilities (b) exposure to aflatoxins produced by the Aspergillus fungus (c) and exposure to pesticides due to a lack of personal protective equipment. Generally, groundnut farmers have benefitted from the efforts of PROFIT+, though challenges remain. Farmers consistently report increased their crop yields; however, access to outside markets has yet to materialize. Exposure to both aflatoxins and pesticides are concerning, particularly in areas of high stunting rates as these chemicals may exacerbate the effects of malnutrition. Further, changing weather patterns in the context of climate change increase issues faces by smallholder farmers.

On the Popcultural Life of Historical Works of Art in Humorous Advertising
Authors: Stwora Anna
Published: May 2021

The paramount objective of this paper is to discuss the popcultural life of historical works of art in selected humorous ads. Firstly, the workings of the incongruityresolution theory of humour and script opposition are presented. Then, the author proceeds to the topic of popculturing visual art in ads. Finally, attention is paid to specific instances of popculturing and funification in several art-related multimodal ads, which makes it possible to see the mechanisms of humour elicitation resultant from the ongoing displacement of historical works of art and their transference into the pop-cultural and advertising realms. To this end, the author gathered a collection of ads in English in which visual art is used in order to introduce humour.
