Tracce reboriane nei Frantumi di Boine
Authors: Orlando Enrico Riccardo
Published: May 2023

Giovanni Boine and Clemente Rebora were two young protagonists of the Italian literary scene in the early 20th century: the first was mainly a critic, the second was a poet. The letters written immediately before the WWI testify that there were a great mutual esteem between them. A few weeks before writing the lyrical proses of Frantumi, Boine read Rebora’s Frammenti lirici, his masterpiece: this essay wants to explore the presence of Rebora’s poems inside Boine’s Frantumi, focusing on references and contacts between the two works.
Explainer: Planning and building approvals
Authors: Murray Cameron
Published: May 2023

There is widespread confusion in policy debates about housing supply and price when it comes to the process of housing development, specifically, who chooses to develop housing and how that housing gets approved by relevant public agencies. The first confusion is that is it commonly assumed or implied that the choice to build housing is made by builders of housing, the construction companies, who want to maximise their turnover. This is wrong. Only property owners can choose to build new homes. The incentive of property owners is not to maximise the rate of new dwelling development, but the total economic return on their property rights over time. The second confusion is to ignore the difference between development approvals (DAs) and building approvals (BAs), sometimes known as construction certificates. Development approvals are given to property owners who choose to apply to assess their proposed project against the planning system if needed for their intended use. They happen at an early stage in the process of developing property, usually prior to pre-sales. They are flexible and while bound by zoning codes, processes exist in the planning system to permit projects that exceed zoning codes, and a property can be granted multiple planning approvals over time. Across the property market, a large buffer stock of projects with development approval exists at any point in time, which allows developers to easily adjust sales rates, and later construction rates, to match highly variable market cycles. Building approvals happen later in the development process, after a planning approval (if required) and after pre-sales have demonstrated market demand. It is the last regulatory step prior to construction and a buffer stock of these approvals is not maintained.
Enhancing Online Speech and Language Assessment: Item Development for the Remote Adult Language Experiment (ReAL-E) Tool
Authors: Lancaster Hope Sparks , Parks Ryan M.;Ryan.Parks@boystown.org , Bashford Seth , Fitzpatrick Denis , Buttner Alicia
Published: May 2023

Purpose: Recent technological advancements in psychology have yielded multiple unsupervised online tools for measuring cognitive skills. However, these tools do not measure key features of communication abilities in adults, such as productive speech or oral language. To address this gap, we developed the Remote Adult Language Experiment (ReAL-E) using a three-step approach that incorporates domain identification, expert evaluation, and piloting testing. Method: Step 1 focused on domain and task identification by collaborating with experts and reviewing the literature. Step 2 included two rounds of evaluation by content and lay experts to assess the initial tool design, identify areas for refinement, and solicit feedback for desired features. Step 3 involved piloting the tool in a sample of adults recruited online.Results: The ReAL-E tool adapted three speech planning and production tasks and four oral and written language tasks into online versions. Feedback from content and lay experts led to significant improvements, including enhanced task instructions, presentation modifications, and the incorporation of features to address potential confounds. Pilot testing demonstrated that adults perform within expected ranges, and five out of seven tasks had good to excellent preliminary reliability.Conclusion: The development of the ReAL-E tool contributes to the field by offering a scalable, efficient method for assessing a broad range of communication skills in adults, paving the way for future research and clinical applications in developmental communication disorders. Our study underscores the collaborative effort and innovative approach required for creating a digital assessment tool that promises to expand research capabilities and improve diagnostic processes in the discipline.
Implementation of the New Public Service in the Licensing Process
Authors: Jayanegara Berryan Aulia Umam , Suryadi Soleh , Anwar Ali
Published: May 2023

This study discusses the implementation of the principles of the New Public Service (NPS) in the public service of the Bekasi City Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service, by taking a case study of making a building permit (IMB) for hotels and restaurants, which is motivated by the findings of BPK-RI audit report dated July 5, 2019 Number 01/XVIIII.BKS/07/2019 on the service performance and supervision of the Bekasi City DPMPTSP. Therefore, the problem in this research is: the implementation of licensing by the apparatus at the Bekasi City DPMPTSP in making the IMB has not been effective because it does not use the New Public Service principle. This study aims to critically analyze why the implementation of licensing by the state apparatus in the Bekasi City DPMPTSP is not effective, so it is hoped that a new concept will be born as a solution to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of licensing by state officials at the Bekasi City DPMPTSP on the basis of the New Public Service (NPS) paradigm. .The research method used is a qualitative method with case study techniques, through collecting data from primary and secondary sources. Primary data was obtained from 10 informants, and secondary data was obtained from various documents, journals, scientific works, and others. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of licensing by the State apparatus in DPMPTSP Bekasi City is not effective
Contradiction and Desire
Authors: Naidoo Meshandren
Published: May 2023

The aim of this article is to describe how failure and contradiction structure human desire and experiences. To fully understand the ‘human’ and human behaviours and abilities, one must first properly account for this contradictory split, which is constitutive of human experience. To do this, it first uncovers the origin of the ‘split subject’ or the subject which is undermined from within. This relates to the Hegelian unhappy consciousness and the Freudian unconscious. Unfortunately, over time the findings of thinkers like Hegel and Freud have either been erroneously understood and rejected. This work serves to validate their notions as uncovered, using empirical cognitive, neuroscientific, and neurobiological evidence. The overall major finding is that contradiction and failure is constitutive of human experience.
A Simulator of the Degree to Which Random Responding Leads to Biases in the Correlations Between Two Individual Differences
Authors: Holtzman Nicholas S. , Donnellan Brent
Published: May 2023

Random responding can inflate Type I and Type II error rates (Huang, Liu, & Bowling, 2015, Journal of Applied Psychology, 100). Type II error inflation often involves certain variables having Invalid Centered Responses And Valid Uncentered Responses (ICRAVUR; pronunciation: /aikreɪvər/). Although Huang et al. (2015) offer a set of formulas for calculating the expected bias in a correlation when such variables are present, they do not offer a way to simulate the effects. We offer two sets of Monte Carlo simulations of ICRAVUR variables. Study 1 examines the correlation between narcissism and psychopathy—thought to be a large effect. The effect was inflated (by r = .16), comparable to what the Huang formulas forecast. Study 2 examines the correlation between secure attachment and self-esteem—thought to be a large effect. The effect was inflated (by r = .26), but this time the simulation result was larger than the forecast from the Huang formulas. Thus, our simulator offers a way to test tailored hypotheses about specific variables—sometimes yielding effects more extreme than the Huang formulas. We guide the readers through software, available at the first author’s website, allowing for estimating the impact of ICRAVUR variables on any Pearson correlation.

EMDA: Treatment procedure for lateral Eye Movement Desensitization
Authors: Schrausser Dietmar Gerald
Published: May 2023

To investigate the (putative) affect-reducing effect of the clinical method lateral eye movement (EMDR) an experimental treatment was performed by means of EMDA. Assuming that arousal reduction and mood elevation compared to other types of distractions are significant, an emotionally colored arousal was generated, followed by lateral eye movement and two variants of distraction. Results from EMDA treatment suggest an effect in arousal reduction compared to distraction conditions.
Autonomous vs. Controlled Goal Motivation Differentially Predicts Goal Progress and Well-Being through Emotion Regulation Styles
Authors: Benita Moti , Arbel Reout , Milyavskaya Marina
Published: May 2023

This study examined whether autonomous vs. controlled goals differentially predict goal progress, well-being, and goal attainment through integrative emotion regulation vs. suppressive emotion regulation, respectively. In Study 1 264 students reported on their academic goals with respect to mid-term exams, their goal motivations, emotion regulation styles, goal progress, and positive and negative affect. Three questionnaires were completed at two-week intervals before exams, and one questionnaire was completed a month afterward. Study 2 was a daily diary study, in which 154 students completed the same questionnaires 10 days before an exam. We analyzed the data using multilevel structural equation modeling. In both studies autonomous goal motivation predicted integrative emotion regulation, which in turn positively predicted goal progress/attainment and well-being. However, only in Study 1 did controlled goal motivation predict suppressive emotion regulation and goal progress/attainment. In both studies, however, controlled goal motivation positively predicted negative affect, and suppressive emotion regulation negatively predicted goal progress and positively predicted negative affect. This research supports and extends previous findings on the benefits of autonomous goal motivation and integrative emotion regulation for goal pursuit, as well as the costs of controlled goal motivation and suppressive emotion regulation. In addition, both studies indicate that there is an autonomous path to goal pursuit, but the evidence for a controlled path to goal pursuit is inconclusive.
Improving the Reliability of the Reliable Change Index
Authors: Crenshaw Alexander O. , Monson Candice
Published: May 2023

The Reliable Change Index quantifies the number of individuals who change beyond that expected by chance (e.g., in an intervention). It is an idiographic approach widely used in studies evaluating change and complements traditional nomothetic analyses. Moreover, it is central to evaluating the clinical significance of intervention outcomes. In principle, the Reliable Change Index provides a common criterion for evaluating individual change across studies. However, current practice involves using sample-specific estimates to create the criteria upon which reliable change is evaluated. Because sample estimates are subject to sampling error, these criteria are also subject to sampling error and therefore differ across studies. We illustrate how current practices can lead to differing criteria for what constitutes reliable change and use simulations to identify the impact of sampling error on the RCI. Excessive error in the RCI began for the average sample when N ≤ 30, and samples only comfortably avoided the risk of excessive error when N ≥ 100. Finally, small errors in estimating a measure’s reliability sometimes had profound effects on the RCI. We discuss recommendations for future studies that use the Reliable Change Index.
Visual Attention, Bias, and Social Dispositions Toward People with Facial Anomalies: A Prospective Study with Eye-Tracking Technology.
Authors: Villavisanis Dillan , Workman Clifford Ian , Zapatero Zachary , Vu Giap , Humphries Stacey , Blum Jessica , Cho Daniel , Swanson Jordan , Bartlett Scott , Chatterjee Anjan , Taylor Jesse
Published: May 2023

Background: Facial attractiveness influences our perceptions of others, with beautiful faces reaping societal rewards and anomalous faces encountering penalties. The purpose of this study was to determine associations of visual attention with bias and social dispositions toward people with facial anomalies.Methods: Sixty subjects completed tests evaluating implicit bias, explicit bias, and social dispositions before viewing publicly available images of preoperative and postoperative patients with hemifacial microsomia. Eye-tracking was used to register visual fixations.Results: Participants with higher implicit bias scores fixated significantly less on the cheek and ear region preoperatively (P = 0.004). Participants with higher scores in empathic concern and perspective taking fixated more on the forehead and orbit preoperatively (P = 0.045) and nose and lips (P = 0.027) preoperativel.Conclusions: Participants with higher levels of implicit bias spent less visual attention on anomalous facial anatomy, whereas participants with higher levels of empathic concern and perspective taking spent more visual attention on normal facial anatomy. Levels of bias and social dispositions such as empathy may predict layperson gaze patterns toward those with facial anomalies and provide insights to neural mechanisms underlying the “anomalous is bad” paradigm.
Dissociating the processing of empty categories in raising and control sentences: A self-paced reading study in Japanese
Authors: Yamaguchi Koki , Ohta Shinri
Published: May 2023

[This is a preprint version of the manuscript. It is now published: https://doi.org/10.3389/flang.2023.1138749. Please cite the published version.] Theoretical linguistics has proposed different types of empty categories (ECs), i.e., unpronounced words with syntactic characteristics. ECs are a key to elucidating the computational system of syntax, algorithms of language processing, and their neural implementation. Here we examined the distinction between raising and control sentences in Japanese and whether ECs are psychologically real. We found two striking results by using a self-paced reading and a probe word recognition priming technique. First, we demonstrate that the reading times of raising and control sentences in Japanese were better explained by the linear mixed-effects model considering the differences of ECs, i.e., Copy and PRO. Secondly, we found a significant reactivation effect for raising and control sentences, which have ECs, and reflexive sentences without ECs. These results indicate that ECs are processed similarly to reflexive pronouns (e.g., himself). Based on these results, we conclude that raising and control sentences in Japanese have different ECs, i.e., Copy and PRO, and that ECs have psychological reality. Our results demonstrate that behavioral experiment based on theoretical linguistics, which is the first step for developing linking hypotheses connecting theoretical linguistics and experimental neuroscience, is indeed necessary for testing hypotheses proposed in theoretical linguistics.
Intergenerational Family Life Courses and Wealth Accumulation in Norway
Authors: Hünteler Bettina , Nutz Theresa , Wörn Jonathan
Published: May 2023

While prior research has widely acknowledged the consequences of specific family transitions (e.g., parental death, parenthood, grandparenthood) for individual wealth holdings, the interplay of multiple family transitions and positions occurring at different life stages and in various orderings has received little attention. This is despite the fact that these transitions and positions most likely jointly shape wealth accumulation, both in the shorter and longer run. We apply (1) sequence analysis to identify typical family life course clusters defined by the timing of the death of the parent generation, the timing of the transition into parenthood, and grand-parenthood, and (2) regression analysis to describe how the accumulation of wealth between ages 40 and 64 differs by family life course cluster. Using Norwegian register data of individuals born in 1953 (N=47,945), we identified six clusters of family trajectories ranging from childless individuals to individuals who were sandwiched between their parents, children, and grandchildren because of relatively early (grand)parenthood and late parental death. Individuals experiencing patterns with a later transition into (grand)parenthood occupied stable and high wealth positions over time. Individuals without children exhibited a steady increase in their wealth position. Additionally, experiencing parental death later in life was associated with increasing wealth, whereas early parental death was not. These results held net of gender and education. Pronounced and even increasing wealth differences over the life course seem to be associated with the interplay of multiple family transitions.

THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS OF AN ADAPTED NURSING DISCHARGE PLAN AMONG PATIENTS WITH HIP FRACTURES IN HOSPITAL MELAKA, MALAYSIA
Authors: Kadir Norliza , Ounjaichon Sasiporn , Aris Aishairma , Jamaludin Thandar Soe Sumaiyah , Che Hasan Muhammad Kamil Bin
Published: May 2023

Background: Patients with hip fractures frequently face the problem of a longer stay in the ward after surgery and being readmitted, falls, and being unable to carry out daily activities after discharge from the hospital. A nursing discharge plan is widely recognised as one of the strategies for addressing these issues. In Malaysia, however, it is unknown for patients with hip fractures. As a result, this study was carried out to investigate the impact of nursing discharge planning on patients with hip fractures in Hospital Melaka, Malaysia.
Methods: A total of 58 patients aged 50 years and above in the orthopaedic ward of Hospital Melaka were randomised using sealed envelopes to the intervention group (n = 29) and the control group (n = 29). The intervention group received an adapted nursing discharge plan with health education activities in the form of pamphlets and oral instructions within 24 hours of ward admission until discharge while the control group received routine discharge practices. Demographic data were taken from the study subjects while clinical data and length of stay in the ward were taken from the subjects’ medical records before discharge. After one month discharged, data for ward readmission rate and drop rate were taken from the subject's medical records while data for the subject's daily life activities were obtained through telephone calls using The Barthel Index survey form.
Results: The results of the study showed that the intervention group had a shorter ward stay (U = 254.00, p = 0.008) and a higher level of independence than the control group (U = 205.00, p = 0.001). The control group had 100% of subjects who were not able to be independent in daily activities of life compared to 75.9% of the intervention group (p <0.05).
Conclusion: A nursing discharge plan including a health education component starting from the patient's admission to the ward until before the discharge should be considered in the nursing practice. It could facilitate better discharge outcomes for patients with hip fractures.
The emerging phenomenon of L2 vlogging on Bilibili: characteristics, engagement, and informal language learning
Authors: Zhang Leticia-Tian , Vázquez-Calvo Boris , Cassany Daniel
Published: May 2023

The rise of digital technology has provided new opportunities for language learning, extending beyond traditional classroom instruction. Video projects have emerged as an effective tool in foreign language education, yet research on self-initiated and regulated video production for language learning is scarce. This study investigates the phenomenon of vlogging in Spanish as a second language on the Chinese video sharing platform Bilibili, by analyzing 134 Chinese-produced Spanish-language vlogs. The study aims to understand the vlogs’ characteristics, the vloggers’ profile, and the ways they utilize the genre for learning Spanish. Through qualitative virtual ethnography, the study uncovers the presence and learning engagement of Spanish L2 vlogs on Bilibili. The results reveal a diverse range of vlogs, including daily life experiences and adaptations of popular YouTube trends, primarily produced by university students with advanced editing skills. Vloggers incorporate knowledge from both formal education (e.g., the Spanish textbook widely used in China, Español Moderno) and informal contexts. In addition to practicing oral Spanish, L2 vloggers use various forms of writing, including Spanish subtitles and Chinese translation, and mobilize multimodal resources, such as danmu comments for overlaying corrections. Vloggers also adopt discursive strategies for community interaction, such as self-deprecating metalanguage, feedback solicitation, and metalinguistic reflections. The study highlights the potential of video-sharing platforms like Bilibili as tools for language learning, reveals different learning styles in digital environments (self-supervised and interaction-oriented learning), and indicates the direction of integrating daily vlogs and multilingual subtitles into language curricula, emphasizing students’ agency, self-directed digital learning, and transmedia literacy development.
Evolution of digital activism on social media: opportunities and challenges
Authors: Castillo-Esparcia Antonio , Caro-Castaño Lucía , Almansa-Martínez Ana
Published: May 2023

The social media revolution has affected all areas, including activism. However, there is scepticism about its emancipatory capacity, and it is considered by some to be a distorted form of activism. This article presents a review of the existing literature on digital activism, starting with the concept itself, and examines its impact on the organisation of activists and citizen participation. Likewise, based on the platformisation of these spaces and the evolution of their affordances, we observe a growth in individual, strategic and low-commitment participation, the accentuation of the role of emotions in media that promote virality, and the assumption of playful forms of politainment by activists –especially on TikTok–. On the other hand, the strategies carried out by organisations to promote activism in relation to their causes are investigated, such as the generation of arguments provided by the interest group and the involvement in an action of dissemination, co-creation and replication of activists. Finally, the main challenges of digital activism are indicated: the growing inequality in terms of access to algorithmic visibility between activists and brands, influencers and interest groups; the desirability of complementing playful activism with work in alternative digital media that allows for more stable forms of collaboration; and the need to protect activists against the growth of hate speech on these platforms.
Voice search optimization in digital media: challenges, use and training
Authors: Lopezosa Carlos , Codina Lluís , Guallar Javier , Pérez-Montoro Mario
Published: May 2023

In view of the widespread use of virtual voice assistants and/or voice searches on smartphones to find all kinds of information, this article explores voice search optimisation (VSO) and its application in the journalistic sector. To this end, 32 semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts representing different professional profiles in the fields of journalism, search engine optimisation (SEO) and academic research. On the basis of the data, eight semantic categories were created and the experts’ perceptions were correlated to identify response patterns. The results confirm the existence of various degrees of convergence and divergence between these three professional profiles in relation to different dimensions of VSO, such as its definition, its techniques, its current and future strategic role in digital media, and its application in journalistic writing. This study confirms that although the use of VSO in digital news media is still in its embryonic stages, it will be useful in the medium and long term to train journalists in basic aspects of voice searches. In addition, internal SEO departments should be prepared to optimise the visibility of news for virtual voice assistants when they become widespread and when the technology companies that develop these assistants define a viable business model.

Using the Discriminant Analysis to Classify the Income of Households in Sinnar State, Sudan (2021)
Authors: Gissmalla Abdalrahim Ahmed , Ahmed Adel Ali
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study was to distinguish between sufficient and insufficient income and to identify the most discriminating factors that influence income. The data was obtained from households in Sinnar through a structured questionnaire addressed to the heads of families, a sample of (800) households (417) had sufficient incomes, and (383) had insufficient incomes. Discriminate analysis and decision trees were applied with the help of the (SPSS) program. The results suggested that the discrimination model applied had a good fit with the data obtained from the sample and that 7 of the 24 variables used in discrimination were statistically significant. The most important discriminating variables were the evaluation of the standard of living and borrowing to cover the family's living expenses. The research showed that the possible error in discriminate function model specificity does not exceed 14.2% compared to decision trees where the possible error does not exceed 14.5%. The research study recommended the use of a statistical discrimination model to discriminate between a sufficient income and insufficient income and the use of decision trees to classify the administrative unit of Sinnar according to income.
Analysing Economic Growth on Paid Work Growth in Mozambique
Authors: Maduku Harris , Zerihun Mulatu Fekadu
Published: May 2023

The central objective of this paper was to understand the contribution of economic growth on job creation (paid work) in Mozambique. This comes at a background when the country experienced a decade of significant economic growth and economic development, but poverty and unemployment remain a problem. The growth of an economy without creating opportunities for the population and especially the poor is undesirable and such situations are described as exclusive economic growth and development. Despite commendable economic growth episodes, an estimated 70% of the Mozambican labour force still work in the agriculture sector and on the other side, the informal economy is projected at around 80% of the economy. To achieve the central objective of the study, the authors estimated the Autoregressive Distributive Lag model (ARDL). Our key findings were that economic growth in Mozambique does have a positive impact on growth of waged and salaried workers (WASW) and the relationship is statistically significant. We also found that growth in infrastructure investment contributes positively to paid work. Lastly, we found that gross value added in the economy negatively impacts paid work. Policy recommendations arising from our findings are that responsible authorities need to embark on massive infrastructure investment since it was found that its growth has positive traction of waged and salaried work growth and economic growth which also contribute to further job creation.
Perfectionism in theory and research
Authors: Kwarcińska Karolina , Sanna Katarzyna , Kamza Anna , Piotrowski Konrad
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of the present article is to systematize knowledge about perfectionism - the relatively stable tendency to set unrealistic expectations for oneself or others. The article reviews studies conducted in recent years and presents the evolution of views on the development and importance of perfectionism for individual adjustment.
Theses
Knowledge about perfectionism is constantly expanding, which makes it necessary to describe the history of the study of this phenomenon, the evolution of ways of thinking, and the theoretical models that have emerged over the past decades. There are relatively few publications on this subject in the Polish literature, and the presented article aims to at least partially fill this gap. We present the results of a study on the relationship between perfectionism and important areas of human functioning, such as health, work and interpersonal relations, and point out factors associated with the development of this characteristic. We also present the most popular measures of perfectionism.
Conclusion
Perfectionism, initially viewed as an unambiguously negative disposition and treated as a predictor of psychopathology, in light of studies conducted in recent years should be treated as a complex personality characteristic that manifests itself manifests itself in different manner, including positive and adaptive ones.

Метою статті є виявлення та порівняння поглядів студентів біологічних спеціальностей щодо організації дистанційного навчання в ускладнених умовах (пандемія Covid-19, воєнний стан в Україні). Методи дослідження: теоретичні (аналіз і синтез, порівняння, узагальнення та ін.) з метою характеристики особливостей використання дистанційного навчання у вищій школі, формулювання висновків проведеного дослідження тощо; емпіричні (онлайн опитування, педагогічне спостереження) – для розробки питань опитувальника, виявлення ставлення студентів; математичні – для опрацювання отриманих результатів за допомогою компютерної програми IBM SPSS Statistics 23. Отримані результати розрахунку t-критерію (p≤0,05) для незалежних вибірок свідчать про відсутність статистично значущої різниці у випадку порівняння усіх груп респондентів/студентів: біологічний факультет/університет за кожен рік опитування (2020-2022); групи біологічного факультету для сусідніх років опитування (2020-2021; 2021- 2022) щодо таких показників: задоволення дистанційним навчанням (якість Інтернет зв‟язку, якість власного технічного забезпечення); використання е-навчання Moodle до карантину-2020; легкість реєстрації в Moodle. Статистично значущі різниці t-критерію (p≤0,05) використання Moodle (2020-2022) для деяких груп респондентів зумовлені такими причинами: порівняно з університетом біологічний факультет має значно вищий відсоток дисциплін в Moodle, а також студенти-біологи виявляють вищі показники бажання навчатись в Moodle. На прикладі двох дисциплін (2022) показано, що повторне комп‘ютерно орієнтоване тестування в Moodle сприяє покращенню результатів навчання студентів, а саме: середня оцінка за найкращими спробами зростає порівняно з першими у студентів бакалаврату та магістратури майже на 16% та 14% у випадку тренувального тесту, 4% і більше 3% – для модульного контрольного тесту.
ON THE EDGES OF WHITENESS
Authors: Lingelbach Jochen
Published: May 2023

From 1942 to 1950, nearly twenty thousand Poles found refuge from the horrors of war-torn Europe in camps within Britain’s African colonies, including Uganda, Tanganyika, Kenya and Northern and Southern Rhodesia. On the Edges of Whiteness tells their improbable story, tracing the manifold, complex relationships that developed among refugees, their British administrators, and their African neighbors. While intervening in key historical debates across academic disciplines, this book also gives an accessible and memorable account of survival and dramatic cultural dislocation against the backdrop of global conflict.
Encouraging white allyship in anti-racism by decentring whiteness

Published: May 2023

Racism in higher education continues to harm Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) students, so white faculty need to be good allies in anti-racism by decentring whiteness to better support BIPOC individuals. To increase self-awareness, white faculty should reflect on how they benefit from white privilege and then use this privilege to better support BIPOC students at both the interpersonal and institutional level, to centre BIPOC voices, to advocate for social justice, to condemn racism privately and publicly, to create teachable moments to better inform white students on the harms of prejudice and to intervene if BIPOC students are discriminated against. By being good allies, white faculty can show other white individuals how to use one's privilege to take action in anti-racism.
Belonging in distance learning
Authors: Bok Guat Im
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this article is to describe adult learners’ sense of belonging when studying remotely in Malaysia. The methodology of the research involved carrying out in-depth interviews with twelve adult learners studying in a distance education institution to uncover their sense of belonging. The collected data was then analysed with Nvivo Version Twelve. The results showed that the annual campus meeting, the e-Learning platform and peer support all contributed significantly to the learners’ feeling of belonging in their distance-learning programmes. Nevertheless, these findings do not imply absolute belongingness, because their sense of belonging was observed alongside their sense of isolation amongst their peers in distance-education programmes.

Abstract. The review is devoted adaptations of diatom under environmental changes and stress factors. Life cycle of diatoms is influenced by various environmental changes, including changes in light intensity, temperature, nutrient availability, and exposure to infochemicals, algicidal bacteria, and viruses. During evolution diatoms have evolved many molecular pathways to respond to stress factors: altering their metabolism to react on abiotic stressors, or producing secondary metabolites to protect themselves from competitors and predators. Prolonged exposure to a stress factor leads to a variety of disorders in cells oxidative stress, disruption of photosynthesis, mitochondrial function, protein folding, resulting in cell death. It is assumed that these mechanisms have allowed diatoms to adapt to a variety of conditions and successfully exist in ecosystems for many millions of years.

The Monosynaptic H-reflex excitability in post-Stroke patients.
Authors: Alwan Basim M.
Published: May 2023

Backgrond: One of the major causes of impaired movements post-stroke is the abnormal phasing of paralytic muscles. Many studies suggested that inappropriate muscle phasing may be associated with enhanced transmission in the monosynaptic Group Ia afferent pathway in the affected limb of post-stroke patients and Group Ia reflexes are abnormally elevated and fail to decrease in amplitude during locomotion.
Objectives: This study was conducted to identify the changes in the Soleus muscle H-reflex excitability at rest in the affected lower limb of post-stroke patients as compared to the contra lateral side and of normal controls.
Patients and methods: The excitability of the monosynaptic Hoffman’s (H-reflex) pathway was tested in the affected side of 48 chronic stroke patients during rest and waking by calculation of the H-reflex wave amplitude and the ratio of maximal H /maximal M response amplitudes and compared to the contra lateral side as well as with that of 32 normal subjects of the matching age and sex. The H-reflex was evoked in the soleus muscle after stimulation of the tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa.
Results: The mean H-reflex wave amplitude (Ha) values are found to have statistical significant difference between the affected and non affected sides as well as between the affected side and the control group (P <0.05) while the mean maximum M-response amplitude (Ma) showed no statistical differences between all groups (P>0.05). However, the ratio of mean amplitude of the maximum H-wave to that of the maximum M-response (Ha/Ma) was significantly higher in the affected side as compared to the contra lateral and control group (P <0.05).
Conclusion: Our results showed that the Ha/Ma ratio does provide a helpful electrophysiological tool for the assessment of stroke patients by identifying motorneuron hyperexcitability, where in most cases of stroke there is a reflexologic characteristic differentiating them from normal, therefore, the Ha/Ma ratio is an interesting test that can be used to interpret recovery patterns and longitudinal effects of therapeutic interventions and follow up post-stroke.

Published: May 2023

Background; Hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP)  are divided in primary and secondary subtypes. Primary HLP is usually due to genetic causes. Secondary HLP is resulting from another underlying disorder such as diabetes mellitus that leads to alterations in plasma lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, HLP may be idiopathic .
Patients and Methods; Ninety male individuals (age 30-45)years were enrolled in this study which were divided into three groups as follows:- (G1) consist of 30 healthy male individuals as a control group, (G2) consist of  30 male patients with (HLP) without any other disease  (15 of them were HLP1,the other were HLP11), (G3) consist of 30 male patients with DM2 without any other disease .(Ghr),  fasting blood glucose (FBG), c-peptide, Insulin, Insulinresistance (IR), Insulin sensitivity (S%),  Beta cell function(B%) ,Glucose/ Insulin ratio, triacylglycerol(TG),total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein(LDL),high density lipoprotein(HDL),very low density lipoprotein(VLDL),TC/HDL ratio, LDL/HDL ratio and atherogenic index of plasma(AIP) were evaluated .Objectives; The aims of this paper were to evaluate the differences in the  ghrelin hormone (Ghr) levels between healthy control and patients with primary hyperlipoproteinemia  [hyperlipoproteinemia I (HPLI) , hyperlipoproteinemia II (HPLII)]  and secondary hyperlipoproteinemia [ type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM2)], and  study the relation of (Ghr) with other parameters.
Results; The mean level of Ghr was significantly lower (P<0.05) in DM2 compared with control group, significantly higher(P<0.05) in HLP1 compared with HLP11 and DM2 and significantly higher(P<0.05) in HLPII compared with DM2. There were  significant correlations between Ghr level and (insulin, c-peptide ,IR,S% ,TG ,VLDL ,AIP) in patients with DM2 and  significant correlations between Ghr level and (TG ,LDL ,VLDL ,LDL/HDL ratio ,c-peptide ,S%)in patients with HLPI.
Conclusion; We conclude that low plasma Ghr level is closely related to atherogenicity in DM 2 patients while there is no significant relationship between them in HLPI and HLPII.
