High-temperature stress is one of the hurdles to achieving self-sufficiency and sustainability in maize production globally. The current experimental study was executed to identify the best suitable maize hybrids for heat-prone areas based on their performance. During spring 2020 & 2021, hybrids were sown under two stress conditions (a) control sowing and (b) late sowing.  Kernel yield and related characteristics varied significantly among maize hybrids across both situations (P<0.05). Under High-temperature stress, correlation analysis uncovered a positive relationship between kernel yield and chlorophyll a (r = 0.77**, 0.54**), chlorophyll b (r = 0.72**, 0.66**), net photosynthetic rate (r = 0.71**, 0.67**), proline contents (r = 0.59*, 0.54**), hydrogen peroxide (r = 0.54*, 0.17NS), thousand kernel weight (r = 0.71*, 0.38*). Principal component and biplots analysis unveiled that the first four principal components accountable for 78.0% of the total variability among hybrids, with days to 50% silking, plant height, number of kernels per ear, kernel yield, net photosynthetic rate, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde, and catalase as the primary sources of variation. Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC) categorizes indigenous and multinational maize hybrids into three classes under stress treatments. The cluster analysis further revealed that indigenous hybrids, particularly YH-5395, YH-5482 and YH-5427 were the most heat tolerant and productive hybrids while YH-5404, P-1543 and JPL-1908 were among the most heat susceptible ones. Consequently, these hybrids are recommended for widespread cultivation, particularly in regions prone to high temperatures.

Hitlerjugend Waffen-SS Division. Faces of Fanaticism
Authors:   Academia Română, Institutul de Istorie „George Barițiu”, Cluj-Napoca, Defta Dragoș Adrian
Published: February 2023

Research into the different types of fanaticism that animated some of the most notorious elite forces of the Third Reich represents a key investigation tool for any historian who applies hermeneutic and phenomenological criticism of combat motivation and morale among warriors belonging to Waffen‑SS troops. The study below addresses the very specific features of the ordinary fighter conscripted to the 12th SS Panzer Division ‘Hitlerjugend.’ The fierce battles that compounded the Normandy Campaign (also known as Operation Overlord) of June – August 1944 were particularly shaped by the committed and uniquely involved units belonging to the Hitlerjugend Division, alternatively called the Baby Division by their Canadian, Australian and British opponents. These youngsters had been battle‑hardened before their ‘fire‑baptism’ due to a tough and professionally delivered military and propagandistic program aimed at transforming young soldiers into efficient killing machines, sufficiently indoctrinated so that they could perform outstanding duties through morale disengagement under contextual forces. Both theoretical and military training were delivered by a professional officer’s corps, assisted by NCO’s formed of veterans with a long battle experience on the Eastern Front. Cross investigation analyses were conducted with the purpose of gaining a complex view and better understanding of all social, psychological and military mechanisms that worked together in order to obtain Hitler’s ultimate warrior: ‘the Hitlerjugend soldier.’

Conciencia histórica y proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de la historia. Una revisión necesaria
Authors: Bernal Valdés Leyani , Pérez  Piñón Francisco Alberto
Published: February 2023

En los últimos años los estudios vinculados a la formación de la conciencia histórica vislumbran que son las formas tradicionales y reproductivas de la enseñanza de la Historia las que priman en la escuela. Evidencian la preferencia de propuestas centradas en personalidades y gobiernos de la mano de maestros narradores de historias, y con posibilidades bajas de establecer relaciones creativas de los individuos con la sociedad, así como herramientas frágiles para que estos intervengan en su realidad. El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar los elementos nodales que estructuran el concepto, sus lazos vinculantes con lo narrativo y la Didáctica de la Historia, así como las herramientas que provee y su función orientadora de los individuos en la sociedad. Con este fin se realizó una revisión bibliográfica a partir de la cual se detectaron problemáticas en torno al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Historia y se ofrecen posibles alternativas con el fin de desarrollar capacidades de reflexión y prácticas que promuevan el pensamiento crítico. De este modo los sujetos podrán reconocerse como seres temporales y con conciencia de que es necesario conocer el pasado para comprender el presente y construir el futuro.
La Verdad histórica, Ayotzinapa vive
Authors: Pérez Piñón Francisco Alberto
Published: February 2023

Se realiza la presente narrativa apoyándonos en tres elementos básicos que menciona el historiador Pierre Nora, en relación a la historia, la memoria y el papel que debe jugar el historiador ante los acontecimientos. Para ello se considera el caso de la Escuela Normal de Ayotzinapa, en el cual perdieron la vida 43 estudiantes a manos de grupos delincuenciales, apoyados por elementos policiacos que, en vez de defenderlos, los entregaron a Guerreros Unidos para su ejecución. Se intenta también desenmascarar la “verdad histórica” construida por el Estado mexicano con el fin de confundir a la ciudadanía y en defensa de personalidades de la política, policías locales y federales, así como del ejército. Esa “verdad” acordada bajo el liderazgo de Jesús Murillo Karam -hoy preso- se narra junto con el recorrido por la formación encomendada a las escuelas normales rurales y la creación de la Escuela Normal Rural de Ayotzinapa “Raúl Isidro Burgos”.

Defining Political Ideologies: The Media Representation of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf with Reference to Panama Leaks
Authors: Ali Syed Sajjad , Mahmood Tariq , Mahmood Sidra
Published: February 2023

The Panama Leaks issue has created a hassle in the whole world, naming individuals, groups and companies. The issue has been equally chanted in the Pakistani Media, both print as well as electronic. Through this issue, individuals having major positions both at an official and national level have been put under fire. The Editorials written by both Daily Dawn and The News represent an insightful analysis and give their expert opinion on the issue. According to McCombs (1972), it is the role of the media to present the interesting aspects of the political parties and to convey the reason for a political campaign to gather public support. Van Dijk (1997) has provided his model for Critical Discourse Analysis in which he has illustrated some of the categories which, according to him, are essential for CDA studies. He is of the view that it often happens that the writer sometimes hides the agent and his identity if the agent is doing something wrong. He has given the concept of self and others. The newspapers framed two major ideologies one was of PTI, and the other was of PML-N. PTI’s ideology was to hold a strong opposition to the case leaving no way out for the Sharifs. On the other hand, Sharif’s announced their resolve to accept the decision of the court amid strong opposition.
Performance Anxiety during Exams: Predictors of Students’ Academic Failure
Authors: Imran Zara , Malik Ahmad Mujtaba , Mehboob Irsa , Sair Shrafat Ali
Published: February 2023

While the concept of student’s performance anxiety has received considerable attention in different branches of the social science literature, the factors of performance anxiety have been somewhat neglected, particularly with respect to the educational sector. Motivated by the need to further explore this concept, this paper empirically investigates the predictors of students’ academic failure and the mediating role of performance anxiety during exams. In the current research, researchers examined the effect of students' fear of results, lack of preparation, past experiences of failure, and cognitive inattention on academic failure via mediating role of performance anxiety between independent and outcome variables. The sample size consists of 502 students from renowned public universities in Pakistan. Data is collected from respondents using a self-administered questionnaire by utilizing a stratified sampling technique. The outcome of this study revealed that predictors have a direct and significant impact on the academic failure of students. The results of this study imply that students’ performance anxiety has a significant mediating role between predictors of students’ academic failure on academic failure. All in all, this research makes a unique contribution to university instructors since it gives information on the prospects for exam anxiety and helps them understand and sort out the issues that
Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Decision-Making for Flood Risks Management: A Comprehensive Analysis
Authors:   Applied College, Jazan University, Jazan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Salamai Abdullah Ali
Published: February 2023

The terrible consequences that floods are having on human life and property can be seen all around the globe. The flood risks management problem is subject to uncertain and imprecise data, and it is influenced by several different factors. As a result, the assessment procedure in question might be seen as an instance of a challenging uncertain multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) issue. Within the context of single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNSs), this research aims to present a novel integrated methodology that is based on the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) technique under a neutrosophic environment. Both the decision-makers and the weights of the criteria are completely unknown. The average technique is used in the proposed methodology to calculate the weighting of the criteria, and an updated version of the CoCoSo method is used within the context of the SVN to decide which option is the most appropriate. In addition, an example case study of flood risk management is explored to highlight the entire execution process of the suggested technique. In addition, a comparison with other approaches that already exist is described to evaluate the validity of the results that were achieved.

Portrayal of Women in Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales: A Study of Gendered Narratologies in The Clerk’s Tale Vs. The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale
Authors: Alanazi Meshari S.
Published: February 2023

This study compares Chaucer’s presentation of female characters in two of The Canterbury Tales: The Clerk’s Tale and The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale. Through a close reading of The Clerk’s Tale, this paper discusses how Chaucer represents Griselda as an example of the mainstream male attitudes to women in Chaucer’s time. Thereafter, the study discusses how representation of female characters from the male perspective distorts the real persona of women: neither idealized nor wicked creatures as projected by the dominant male thought of that time. Further, this study analyses in detail Chaucer’s representation of women in The Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale, focusing on the character of Alison, who is represented as an example of the woman who goes beyond the stereotypical images that the male narrators created about women in Chaucer’s other tales.
The Negative Impact of the Succession of Crises and the Ineffectiveness of the E-learning System on Tertiary Education in Sudan from (2018) to Present
Authors: Mohammed Abdulghani Eissa Tour , Ahmed Elfaki Jamal Mohammed , Othman Khalid Abdurrahman Jabir
Published: February 2023

This study attempts to determine the social, economic, and psychological impacts of the 2018 temporary closure of educational institutions in Sudan amid several internal incidents and the ongoing closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic on students, teachers, and families. Most educational systems worldwide were temporarily closed and negatively affected. Nevertheless, it seemed as if the crises in Sudan extremely damaged the process of the overall educational system simply because the closure of the institutions initially began as a result of several internal incidents by the end of the academic year 2017-2018. The closure lasted until August 2019, when schools were reopened, and within almost six months; again, a decision was made in February 2020 for the entire closure of educational institutions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and continued for more than one and a half years. The impact of total closures of universities and colleges in Sudan affected students' academic achievement in different ways because the situations in Sudan were primarily different before the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, the negative implications of the long–term closure were greater not only on the students' academic achievement but also on the teachers’ sources of income, which resulted in economic issues for many families. To undertake this study, both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were used. The researchers designed and distributed a questionnaire to a sample of 39 Sudanese university teachers to examine their attitudes towards the impact of the several internal incidents behind the closure of the entire educational institutions on overall academic achievement and online education as an alternative to face-to-face or traditional teaching. Although very few universities launched e-learning units during the last two decades, it seemed as if their purposes were very limited and mainly designed to serve a few students under certain conditions. Additionally, the researchers observed the efficient application of the e-learning educational system during the COVID-19 pandemic, represented by the Blackboard platform at both Qassim University and Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University. The data analysis resulted in some significant findings, among which are the following: First, students were regularly paying the price of the poor infrastructure that contributed to preventing the application of an effective e-learning system in Sudan. Second, the long–term closure throughout 2018 has resulted in the accumulation of several student batches and generally complicated the scene. Third, the long–term closure influenced university students in different ways: academically, socially, economically, and psychologically.

Twisted Skeins of Women and Wilderness
Authors: Singh Amar , Tholia Shipra
Published: February 2023

Anthropogenic development has reduced the concept of stability to an imaginary state. Thomas Nail prefers the term “Kinocene” to Anthropocene or Capitalocene to describe modern times since it suggests a reconfiguration of human-nonhuman relations. This is where the interpretation of classic tales through contemporary lenses becomes relevant concerning re-imagining them in the context of marginalized voices. An example of this is the Bollywood film Sherni, which finds its tropes in the Shrew tales, famously used by Shakespeare.

This article is divided into three sections, followed by a conclusion. The first section introduces Thomas Nail’s concept of border, allowing the analysis to focus on extensive and intensive movements. The former pertains to the observation of external manifestations of hegemonical exercise perpetuated within India as a legacy of colonialism. Following the discussion of the colonial legacy, examining the intensive movement illustrates how Shakespeare’s Shrew tropes emerge as the film expresses its resistance to patriarchy and creates empathy for the nonhuman actor.
Troubling the water
Authors: Souch Irina
Published: February 2023

“Troubling the Water: Hydro-imaginaries in Nordic Television Drama” discusses a selection of Nordic television series to consider how they employ Anthropocenic imagery to challenge the Nordic governments’ long-established attitude as sustainable and environment-friendly. Despite their different genres and aesthetic qualities these series share their concerns about the availability of clean water usually perceived as everlasting given the Nordic countries’ physical geographical features. The close reading of relevant fragments from various series allows to interrogate such uncritical understanding of water as a “passive” commodity to serve modern societies anthropogenic wants, rather than eco-social needs. The article particularly focuses on the last season of the Danish family drama The Legacy which explicitly engages with water as being central to issues of social justice as much as issues of environmental concern.
It’s complicated
Authors: Reuter Anna S.
Published: February 2023

What kind of critical approach do literary texts require that portray environmental misdeeds and display an ethos ostensibly calling into question the practices responsible for those misdeeds? Novels and poetry that address guilt and responsibility in the Anthropocene often aestheticize supposedly natural conditions, evoke nostalgic settings, and imagine a return to better times. Thus, they require literary criticism to focus on human responsibility and culpability toward the environment. However, the notion of responsibility is not only to be found in the text as a topic but might also be a necessary stance toward the text. Then, literary criticism would be a matter of responding and making responsibility productive. That means making intelligible the potential of being (speaking) with one another inherent in the structures of language. Drawing on the concept of interpellation and analyzing Juliana Spahr’s poem ”Gentle Now, Don’t Add to Heartache”, this article examines the relevance of the notion of responsibility for literary criticism.
Knowing the Anthropocene
Authors: Jespersen Mads Nyborg , Kirk Jens , Rosendorf Asger Jul
Published: February 2023

How to best approach the Anthropocene in terms of knowledge is an open question. In this paper we outline and discuss how the Anthropocene is imagined as an ongoing project attempting to develop systems of knowledge. Referring to Paul J. Crutzen, Reinhold Leinfelder, and Jan Zalaciewicz, we show how a tradition is forming around the notion of diverse Anthropocene knowledges as unified but split into two, more particularly, into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and social sciences and humanities (SSH). After a reading of two representative takes on the Anthropocene and knowledge by Carolyn Merchant and Timothy Morton and Dominic Boyer respectively, we conclude that, despite attempts at interdisciplinarity and knowledge integration, the current ways of approaching the Anthropocene as a field of knowledge involve an uneasy mix of unification and stratification. We end by suggesting ways of overcoming this situation.
Surgical Treatment of Superior Labral/Biceps Pathology in the Overhead Thrower
Authors: Waterman Brian R. , Dean Robert S. , Gregory Bonnie , Romeo Anthony A.
Published: February 2023

Symptomatic superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) tears have become an increasingly common diagnosis, particularly within the competitive overhead athlete population. Type II SLAP tears are the most encountered variant in overhead throwing athletes. Given the high incidence of false positives on advanced imaging, corroborating the history and physical examination with imaging is paramount to accurately establish a SLAP lesion diagnosis. Previous studies have reported conflicting success rates with conservative management, but the number of pitching athletes able to return to prior level of performance with nonsurgical management strategies has been unsatisfactory. Although there has historically been a notable disconnect between the incidence of SLAP tears in the literature and the number of SLAP repairs in recent investigations, high-grade or unstable tears may be candidates for débridement, labral repair, biceps tenodesis, or less frequently, biceps tenotomy. Biceps tenodesis has been increasingly used for the management of these lesions, with recent studies reporting high rates of return to sport, high satisfaction, and good to excellent patient-reported outcomes in carefully selected athletes.
High Complication Rate Associated With Arthroscopic Lysis of Adhesions Versus Manipulation Under Anesthesia for Arthrofibrosis After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Thomas Nathan P. , Liu Christina , Varady Nathan , Iban Yhan Colon , Schwab Pierre Emmanuel , Chen Antonia F.
Published: February 2023

Background:

Arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is often treated by arthroscopic lysis of adhesions (ALAs) or manipulation under anesthesia (MUA). This study compared the 2-year complication rates of ALA and MUA and range-of-motion (ROM) outcomes for ALA, early MUA (<3 months after TKA), and delayed MUA (>3 months after TKA).

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study included 425 patients undergoing ALA or MUA after primary TKA from 2001 to 2018. Demographics, clinical variables, and complication rates were collected from clinical records and compared using Student t-tests and Kaplan-Meier log-rank tests. Multivariable logistic regressions were used for adjusted analysis. ROM data were analyzed using fixed and mixed-effects models.

Results:

ALA patients were younger (55.2 versus 58.9 years, P < 0.001) and underwent surgery later from the index TKA (12 versus 1.9 months, P < 0.001). The Charlson Comorbidity Index was higher in the MUA group. Preoperative ROM was significantly worse in the MUA cohort, but did not differ between groups after the procedure (117°, P = 0.27) or at 2 years. Demographics and ROM outcomes were equivalent between early MUA and delayed MUA (P = 0.75). The incidence of repeat arthrofibrosis (7.1%) and revision arthroplasty (2.4%) was similar between ALA and MUA cohorts while ALA patients had significantly more surgical site infections (3.8%) compared with MUA patients (0.47%, P = 0.017).

Discussion:

Equivalent ROM outcomes were seen between ALA, early MUA, and delayed MUA for the treatment of arthrofibrosis after TKA. However, this study demonstrated a markedly higher complication rate, particularly surgical site infection, after ALA, suggesting that MUA may be the preferred option for treating arthrofibrosis at both early and late time points.
Evaluation and Management of Pediatric Humeral Shaft Fractures
Authors: Annabell Lucas , Shore Benjamin J. , Hedequist Daniel J. , Hogue Grant D.
Published: February 2023

Diaphyseal humerus fractures in the pediatric population have dynamic treatment strategies that depend on injury pattern, mechanism, patient skeletal maturity, and size. Treatment strategies include closed reduction with various immobilization techniques, flexible nails, uniplanar or multiplanar external fixation, or plate osteosynthesis. Accepted parameters for sagittal and coronal alignment vary based on age and potential for remodeling, and the multiplanar motion of the shoulder joint can accommodate for greater variations in alignment than many other long bone fractures. Complications such as radial nerve palsy are possible with both open and closed injuries, and mal/nonunions, although rare, can occur. Overall, treatment should be predicated on a full evaluation of the patient, fracture, local soft tissues, and any concomitant injuries.
Should We Hire Our Current Fellow? Hiring Trends and Preferences in Spine Surgery
Authors: Dalton Jonathan F. , Fourman Mitchell S. , Chen Stephen , Cluts Landon M. , Lee Joon Y. , Shaw Jeremy D.
Published: February 2023

Objective:

To provide insight into hiring trends/preferences in Academic Orthopaedic Spine Surgery after fellowship training.

Methods:

Fellowship directors (FDs) listed by the North American Spine Society were surveyed regarding new faculty hiring preferences. Surveys were analyzed/stratified by response using the Kruskal‐Wallis with Dunn multiple comparisons test, the Fisher exact test, and the Mann–Whitney U test for univariate comparisons.

Results:

Thirty-two of 52 (61.5%) FDs responded. 32.3% of graduated fellows pursued academic medicine, which was preferred by FDs (3.59 ± 0.67; 1 to 5 scale). From 2015 to 2020, of the 2.25 ± 1.46 faculty members hired per program, 45.8% were former residents/fellows. Top listed hiring qualities were “strong recommendation from a trusted colleague” (84.4%), “prior personal experience, as a resident/fellow” (78.1%), and “amicable personality” (53.1%). Twelve (38%) answered “no”, six (19%) “yes”, and 14 (44%) “other”, regarding if hiring former residents/fellows benefits the field of spine surgery. “Other” answers endorsing in-house hiring most commonly mentioned consistency/stability (28.6%) while those opposed most commonly mentioned lack of diversity of training/novel techniques (42.9%). When considering programmatic size, while the stated perception of FDs regarding in-house hiring at larger (>2 fellows) versus smaller (1 to 2 fellows) programs was equivalent, the mean percentage of in-house hires at larger programs (67.8% ± 35.8%) was significantly greater than that of smaller programs (33.3% ± 44.8%, P = 0.04).

Conclusions:

In-house hiring in spine surgery appears to occur more commonly than perceived by program leadership, particularly at larger fellowship programs. Further study of hiring preferences and their impact on the field of spine surgery is warranted.

Early Surgical Treatment of Thoracolumbar Fractures With Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Scores Less Than 4
Authors: Lucasti Christopher , Scott Maxwell M. , Slowinski Joshua , Maraschiello Mark , Clark Lindsey D. , Kowalski Joseph M.
Published: February 2023

Background:

Thoracolumbar fractures (TLFs) are the most common spinal fractures seen in patients with trauma. The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity (TLICS) classification system is commonly used to help clinicians make more consistent and objective decisions in assessing the indications for surgical intervention in patients with thoracolumbar fractures. Patients with TLICS scores <4 are treated conservatively, but a percentage of them will have failed conservative treatment and require surgery at a later date.

Methods:

All patients who received an orthopaedic consult between January 2016 and December 2020 were screened for inclusion and exclusion criteria. For patients meeting the study requirements, deidentified data were collected including demographics, diagnostics workup, and hospital course. Data analysis was conducted comparing length of stay, time between first consult and surgery, and time between surgery and discharge among each group.

Results:

1.4% of patients with a TLICS score <4 not treated surgically at initial hospital stay required surgery at a later date. Patients with a TLICS score <4 treated conservatively had a statistically significant shorter hospital stay compared with those treated surgically. However, when time between initial consult and surgery was factored into the total duration of hospital stay for those treated surgically, the duration was statistically equivalent to those treated nonsurgically.

Conclusion:

For patients with a TLICS score <4 with delayed mobilization after 3 days in the hospital or polytraumatic injuries, surgical stabilization at initial presentation can decrease the percentage of patients who fail conservative care and require delayed surgery. Patients treated surgically have a longer length of stay than those treated conservatively, but there is no difference in stay when time between consult and surgery was accounted for. In addition, initial surgery in patients with delayed mobilization can prevent long waits to surgery, while conservative measures are exhausted.

Utility of Spine Surgery Fellowship Training for Orthopaedic Surgeons in the United States
Authors: Silvestre Jason , Wu Hao Hua , Thompson Terry L. , Kang James D.
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Orthopaedic spine surgeons gain surgical experience through cases conducted during residency and fellowship training. This study elucidates the incremental benefit in spine surgery volume from orthopaedic spine surgery fellowship training.

Methods:

This was a retrospective national cohort study of orthopaedic surgery residents and orthopaedic spine surgery fellows graduating from US Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited training programs during the 2017 to 2020 academic years. Comparisons in spine surgery case volume were made with parametric tests.

Results:

One hundred fourteen spine surgery fellows and 3,000 orthopaedic surgery residents were included. There was a 3.5-fold increase in total spine surgery cases conducted during fellowship versus residency (314 ± 129 vs. 89 ± 61, P < 0.001). Spine surgery fellows one standard deviation more than the mean reported 443 total spine cases. The largest differences between fellows and residents were Decompression (104 ± 48 vs. 28 ± 23, P < 0.001), Posterior Arthrodesis (94 ± 46 vs. 21 ± 18, P < 0.001), Anterior Arthrodesis (64 ± 31 vs. 13 ± 13, P < 0.001), and Instrumentation (43 ± 25 vs. 22 ± 12, P < 0.001).

Discussion:

Spine surgery fellowship training affords orthopaedic surgeons the opportunity to increase spine surgery case volume by over threefold. The greatest increases in case volume were reported for Decompression, Posterior Arthrodesis, Anterior Arthrodesis, and Instrumentation.
