Reanalysis of: Imaging localized neuronal activity at fast time scales through biomechanics
Authors: Hetzer Stefan , Allefeld Carsten , Hirsch Sebastian , Boehm-Sturm Philipp , Dirnagl Ulrich
Published: April 2024

The result of our reanalysis is that neither the data nor the statistical analysis by Patz et al. support the interpretation given by the authors, namely that neuronal activity was detected in their experiments. First, our main concern is the unusual choice of thresholding the computed statistic at |z|>1 corresponding to a significance level of p=0.32, which is much higher than the commonly used significance levels between 0.05 and 0.001. Second, the group analysis is based on the selective use of data not reported in the article. Third, there are two false statements made in the paper with regard to the absence of ‘activation’ in the control condition and in the viscosity measure (G″), respectively.
Think Parent--Think Mother: Perceptions of mothers shape the stereotype of parents
Authors: Xiao Hualin , Gustafsson Sendén Marie , Sczesny
Published: April 2024

The social category parents comprises two principal category members–mothers and fathers. Using a multi-method approach (i.e., free responses and trait ratings), the present study (N = 432) compared the stereotype of parents with that of mothers and fathers on communion and agency as well as their sub-facets: warmth, morality, assertiveness, and competence. We tested two competing hypotheses: the stereotype of parents is similar to that of mothers (parent-mother similarity) and that the parent stereotype is a combination of mother and father stereotypes (parent-as-average). Overall, results showed more support for parent-mother similarity, especially in free responses. Results of trait ratings, however, showed a mixed pattern: parent-as-average on warmth, parent-mother similarity on assertiveness, and unexpectedly, a parent-father similarity on morality and competence. The greater similarity between parent and mother stereotypes not only reflects mothers’ greater involvement in caretaking, but also suggests a “feminine default” in people’s expectations for the parental role.
Testing the Relationship between Phenomenological Control related to Illusion Sensitivity
Authors: Makowski Dominique , Neves Ana
Published: April 2024

Visual illusions highlight how easily our conscious experience can be altered with respect to perceptual reality. Despite sharing in-principle mechanisms with phenomenological control, i.e., the ability to alter our perceptual experience to match task demands or expectations, research tying the two remains scarce. This study aims to replicate and expand Lush et al. (2022) reporting an absence of correlation between phenomenological control (measured using the Phenomenological Control Scale) and illusion sensitivity to different illusion types. [N participants were recruited in an online study. Results will be added in the final version of the manuscript].

Introduction: An imbalance in diet can lead to anaemia in young women, which can impact not only themselves, but also the next generation. This study aimed to determine associations between quantity and quality of dietary intake with haemoglobin (Hb) concentration among female adolescents in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 347 young women aged 12-18 years from ten districts in Tasikmalaya City, selected by simple random sampling. Quantity and quality of dietary intake were measured by 2-repeated 24-hour dietary recalls, while portable haemoglobinometer (HemoCue® Hb 201+) was used to measure Hb concentration. Linear regression model predicted associations between quantity and quality of dietary intake with Hb concentration in female adolescents. Results: The proportion of subjects suffering from anaemia were 47.3%. Average intake of dietary iron was 6.7±3.0 mg and average dietary quality score was 32.6%. Dietary quality score and days of menstrual bleeding contributed as much as 12.7% to the variation in Hb concentration among female adolescents. Conclusion: Anaemia in female adolescents in Tasikmalaya, West Java, Indonesia is a serious public health problem. Diet quality score was associated with female adolescents’ Hb concentration; therefore, improving the quality of diet is important to reduce anaemia.
The mean condition dynamics of Pachymelania byronensis (Wood, 1828) (Gastropoda: Thiaridae) in the Cross River, Nigeria

The monthly mean condition index (Kmean) of Pachymelania byronensis was computed from a unique combination of the body weight–shell height relationship parameters (i.e. a, b). Shell height (H) and weight (W) were measured for each specimen. There was a wide (827.7 –fold) variation, from a minimum of 0.012 in October to a maximum of 9.932 in December. Mean annual value was 8.064. The relatively low values of the condition index in February – May, August -- October were attributed to declines in body weight as the gametes are released during spawning. This gastropod species spawns three times a year, a feature that is responsible for the high density of the gastropod in the river and its capacity to sustain a year-round strong fishing pressure. The monthly condition indices significantly correlated with river hydrological parameters, including rainfall, surface temperature, discharge, transparency, pH, and dissolved oxygen concentration.

Effects of processed duckweed meals as a replacement for toasted soybean meal in the diets of Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings were evaluated. Sun-dried and blanched duckweed meals were used to replaced toasted soybean meal in at 25, 50, 75, and 100% each. Feed Solution Software (version 2022) was used to formulate nine iso-nitrogenous diets at 32% crude protein. 27 Hapa nets of 1 m2 each were used for the feeding trials for six months. Ten fingerlings of Oreochromis niloticus were stocked per Hapa and fed 5% body weight three times per day. The best mean weight gain (460.59 g), viscerosomatic index (9.90) and feed conversion ratio (1.82) were recorded in the fish fed 75% blanched duckweed meal while the fish fed 100% sun-dried duckweed meal and 100% blanched duckweed meal recorded the poor mean weight gain, viscerosomatic index and feed conversion ratio of 401.69 g and 394.03 g, 6.49 and 6.36, 2.06 and 2.10, respectively. The cost-benefit evaluation revealed that 75% blanched duckweed meal gave the highest net profit (₦3,682) and lowest incident cost (₦6.49). This study revealed that soybean meal can be replaced with 75% blanched duckweed meal in the diet of Oreochromis niloticus without any inauspicious effects on the growth and nutrient utilization, and will reduce the cost of production and maximize profit.
Osteoplastic Reconstruction of the Thumb: a case report
Authors: Chaurasia Lok Raj , Pudasaini Pushkar , Nakarmi Kiran Kishore
Published: April 2024

Background & Objectives: Thumb accounts for 50% of the hand function. Amputation of the thumb severely jeopardises the hand function. Thumb replantation, toe transfer are the ideal methods for restoring  the hand function, but is not always possible owing to type of injury, time to presentation, surgical skill and set up. Osteoplastic thumb reconstruction for amputation around the metacarpophalangeal joint is a good treatment option to restore the hand in a developing setup.
Presentation of Case:  A 25 yrs male with amputation of thumb around metacarpophalangeal joint with delayed presentation and crushing component of distal part underwent multiple staged osteoplastic reconstruction of the thumb. The procedures consisted of bony structure fixation with bone graft followed by coverage with a thinned tubed groin flap which was divided at 2 weeks interval. The thumb was made sensate with sensate flap (first dorsal metacarpal artery flap).
Discussion: Thumb replantation is ideal in acute setup in a clean traumatic amputation, while toe transfer is ideal in a delayed setup with healed wound. This requires a good operating room set up with microsurgical set up and skilled manpower, which is difficult in a developing country. Osteoplastic reconstruction requires multiple staged procedures that can be done at a primary level setup. 
Conclusion: Osteoplastic thumb recontruction is a good option for amputation around the metacarpophalangeal joint to restore hand function in a resource limited set up.

Tracing Class and Capital in Critical AI Research
Authors: Ericson Petter , Dobbe Roel , Lindgren Simon
Published: April 2024

This article explores the rapidly developing field of Critical AI Studies and its relation to issues of class and capitalism through a hybrid approach based on distant reading of a newly collected corpus of 300 full-text scientific articles, the creation of which is itself a first attempt at properly delineating the field. We find that words related to issues of class are predominantly but not exclusively confined to a set of studies that make up their own distinct subfield of Critical AI Studies, in contrast to, e.g., issues of race and gender, which are more broadly present in the corpus.
Castle and the Seasons
Authors: Serra Ilaria
Published: April 2024

This article develops the concept of the “geometaphor” by considering the life and work of Loris Jacopo Bononi, poet-doctor-collector-inventor, through two elements of his landscapes: the castle of Castiglione del Terziere with its contents (a desire of eternity) and the fleeting seasons in the surrounding woods (the astonishment of the ephemeral). Two are the main lenses: Bononi’s relationship with his castle in Lunigiana and with specific objects preserved there (the contents of his bedroom and library, especially the incunabula collection); and his poetic production spanning the last years of his life, in the first decade of the XXI century. This is the first article that deals with Bononi’s poetic production in English.
Contradictions of Sustainability Teaching Accounting in Higher Education in Bulgaria
Authors: Kalev Kalin
Published: April 2024

The paper outlines contradictions of “sustainability teaching ac­counting” in which word game (shown in inverted commas) represents the focal role of the teacher. The problems of the Bulgarian education system are already known – increasing complexity and interconnectedness as re­sults of the breakdown of the value system of society – but not unique. Mere­ly, institutional sustainability discourse is reductionist and mechanistic. And one of the problems of sustainable education is how to empower students with self-reinforcing practice. Attitudes of students of accounting teaching in IU-Varna are presented to justify current teaching in accounting cours­es. Some generalized proposals are introduced because as greater the stu­dents are exposed to sustainable thinking and innovative technologies, bet­ter critical thinking and self-reinforced behavior will be articulated.
Determining the Correlation between the RLAH Regime and Roaming Usage by Applying Business Intelligence
Authors: Dodig Lovre , Luic Ljerka
Published: April 2024

Roaming like at home (RLAH) regime came into force on June 15, 2017, and marked the beginning of more accessible communication and use of mobile services without additional fees when travelling within the EU. In this context, this paper analyses the correlation between RLAH and the intensity of the use of mobile services by Croatian users in EU Roaming. In this regard, the re­search aims to measure how much RLAH influenced Croatian users’ greater use of mobile services in EU roaming. How many Croatian users used mobile services in EU roaming before RLAH and during RLAH, and to what extent Croatian users in EU roaming used mobile services before the introduction of the RLAH regime compared to the period after the introduction of RLAH are questions that deter­mine the framework research problems. This research used aggregated data on users and the use of mobile voice services of Croatian users in the EU roaming from HAKOM’s (Croatian regulatory authority for network industries) database. The period observed is between Q1 2014 and Q2 2022. The research was carried out by business intelligence concepts and tools and elaborated with descriptive statistics method. Based on the results obtained from the research, the hypothe­sis that RLAH stimulated the use of mobile services by Croatian users in EU roam­ing can be confirmed. In this regard, this work supports the set goals of develop­ing the EU digital single market and opens up space for additional research to examine user habits as part of forming a single internal market.
Migration Movement of the Bulgarian Population and Socio-Economic Effects under the Pressure of an Increased Refugee Flow
Authors: Petrova-Hristova Kristina
Published: April 2024

The migration of the population is a very important element of demographic development. The current demographic situation in the Re­public of Bulgaria is very difficult, migration processes are taking on increas­ingly serious dimensions. After the democratic changes in 1989, now more than thirty years, the demographic processes have a negative sign – nega­tive natural increase, negative migration balance, strong aging of the pop­ulation, and deterioration of the age structure, which leads to a permanent decrease of the population. There are different reasons – military, political, economic, and climatic problems led to increased refugee flows passing through the territory of the country, which further complicate the socio-eco­nomic situation. The employees of the security sector in the Ministry of Inter­nal Affairs are facing huge refugee pressure. Their preparation and actions are extremely important for dealing with any problems that may arise on the territory of the country.
Clean Energy Stock Indexes: Trends, Fluctuations, and Implications for Investors
Authors: Chambino Mariana , Dias Rui , Morais da Palma Cristina
Published: April 2024

The heightened attention towards clean energy markets has been spurred by COVID-19 and geopolitical concerns in 2022. This study in­vestigates the persistence of the Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy, Wilder­Hill Clean Energy, S&P Global Clean Energy, iShares Global Clear Energy ETF, and Clean Energy Fuels stock indexes for the period from May 3, 2018, to May 2, 2023. The findings are mixed since long memories were observed throughout the tranquil period; therefore, the events of 2020 and 2022 did not accentuate persistence. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that the long-term predictability of clean energy markets has potential advantag­es for investors with a focus on environmentally sustainable investments. However, investors must be aware of market risks and volatility, especial­ly during periods of economic or political instability. To reduce risk and in­crease returns, investors should diversify their portfolios across different clean energy indexes and other asset classes.
Parlamentos Abiertos en América Latina: Transparencia Activa y Participación Ciudadana
Authors: Gema Sánchez-Medero  , Gema Pastor-Albaladejo
Published: April 2024

En los últimos tiempos, las tendencias modernizadoras destinadas a implantar un modelo de Estado abierto han llevado consigo la transformación de las instituciones públicas, entre ellas el parlamento. Este nuevo enfoque se asienta en los ejes de transparencia, rendición de cuentas y participación en aras de mejorar la relación/comunicación entre el parlamento y la ciudadanía, y reforzar su legitimidad democrática. El artículo indaga en este tema, ya que evalúa la transparencia y la participación ciudadana en las webs de las cámaras bajas de los parlamentos nacionales en América Latina para determinar si se limitan a cumplir con lo exigido por la normativa o van más allá y, por tanto, se camina hacia una verdadera cultura de parlamento abierto. Para abordar esta cuestión, se ha generado un marco analítico que se compone de cuatro dimensiones (ampliamente reconocidas por la literatura académica) a las que se vinculan una serie de indicadores: información sobre el parlamento (19 indicadores); información sobre la organización, el funcionamiento y la actividad parlamentaria (19 indicadores); información económica y contractual (17 indicadores); y comunicación y relación con la ciudadanía (30 indicadores). En definitiva, los resultados de la investigación ofrecerán un diagnóstico de situación que ayudará a verificar que todavía no se ha instaurado, en su totalidad, un estilo de parlamento abierto en América Latina, y a realizar también una serie de recomendaciones razonables para desarrollar este nuevo modelo de cámara baja

Authors: Cibele Dametto  , Jordi Bonet-Mart
Published: April 2024

This article aims to give an account of the digital narratives used by women activists to counter environmental denialism during the 2022 election period in Brazil. There is still little research that addresses the topic, especially through women ́s lenses on a specific timeframe, such as elections. The article is based on a netnography of the publications on Instagram during the months of August and September 2022, to identify the strategies used by women cyberactivists to counter environmental denialism through their digital narratives. Data were gathered through desk research and non-participatory observation, incorporating specific inclusive criteria, and the netnography process involved a thematic analysis supported by Atlas TI. The study is constrained by limitations in the netnography method, such as ethical considerations necessitating anonymized data from a sample mostly consisting of verified accounts and the limited access to cyberactivists' demographic information. We have identified 5 main strategies from the carried out analysis: Value´s Expression, Emotional Expression, Reasoned Arguments, Collective Action, and Community Building, which was framed in the dimensions Individual, Collective, Subjective and Objective, create meaning through generating identification, action, sense of belonging and creating awareness and movement.The creation and envisioning of new realities happen in the dialogue between the Cyberactivists and their followers, and the success of their activism relies on their capacity of reaching and affecting their followers through their strategies, generating meaning

The significance of Technological and Vocational Education (TVE) lies in producing professionals with competencies that are required to support the academic community. The aim of this study was to build an Information System of Laboratory (ISLab) that would improve the performance of the technical and vocational educational laboratory. The proposed information system was built based on multimedia featuring text, graphics, 3D images, grassroots access, and top-down reviews. The study used the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) technique, and the data was analyzed using descriptive, gain-score, and inferential factorial design. The study findings proved that ISLab operated in accordance with laboratory standards and achieved a performance of 90.3% according to user needs. Furthermore, laboratory management using ISLab was found more effective than conventional management system, and the proposed method of management enabled interaction with user groups that led to an increase in performance of laboratory staff and lecturers. The results of this research indicate that ISLab was suitable to be used in managing technical and vocational educational laboratories.

Published: April 2024

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of blood transfusion requests and utilization in non-coronavirus disease (COVID) patients having undergone elective surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: The pattern of blood transfusion requests and utilization for elective surgical procedures in six departments of a University Hospital; between January 2020 and December 2021, were retrospectively evaluated. The cross-match-to transfusion (C/T) ratio, transfusion probability (%T), transfusion index (Ti), and maximum surgical blood order schedule (MSBOS) were calculated. Results: A total of 15,030 patients underwent elective surgery. Among the 14,426 units of blood requested, 12,776 (89%) units were cross-matched preoperatively for 5,799 (39%) patients, and an additional 1,650 (11%) units were requested for 394 (2.6%) patients intraoperatively. Among these, 4,588 (32%) units were transfused to 1,710 (11.4%) patients. The overall C/T ratio, %T, and Ti were 2.78, 29.5%, and 0.79, respectively. Blood utilization indices for each department varied substantially according to the type of surgery, with blood utilization indices being unfavorable for 68 (80%) of the 85 procedures. The MSBOS was 0 for 32 procedures. Conclusion: Over-ordering of blood units for elective surgical procedures remained common during the COVID-19 pandemic. The blood utilization indices showed substantial variations according to the type of surgical procedures. The MSBOS has been formulated to assist in future decision-making.

The key to the “Moneyball” phenomenon: What are the determinants of the level of effort in absence of fi nancial motivation in professional football?
Authors: Зайцева И.А. , Ступин М.А.
Published: April 2024

Футбол предоставляет богатый набор данных для анализа рынка труда. Особый интерес представляют ситуации, когда рынок труда работает неэффективно. Обнаруженный раннее в литературе случай неэффективной работы футбольного рынка труда, известный также как эффект «Манибол», привел нас к вопросу о том, как работают стимулы игроков в отсутствие финансовой мотивации к приложению определенного вида усилий. Для футбола таким видом усилий стала пробегаемая за матч дистанция, которая не ценится рынком, однако оказывает положительное влияние на вероятности победы команды. Для ответа на вопрос о стимулах игроков мы выделили три группы факторов, потенциально влияющих на пробег игроков: мотивационные, ситуационные и внешние, — и проанализировали данные сезонов 2015–2019 гг. немецкой Бундеслиги. Особое внимание мы уделили фактору нефинансовой мотивации и проверили гипотезу о том, что игроки могут разделять ценности клуба и его болельщиков, прикладывая больше усилий в принципиальных матчах — дерби. Полученные результаты позволяют объяснить устойчивость феномена «Манибол» во времени и определить факторы, которые влияют на выбор неоплачиваемых усилий игроками.

Football provides a rich dataset for the analysis of labour market problems. Of particular interest are situations where the labour market is inefficient. Previously documented by the literature case of football labor market inefficiency, also known as the “Moneyball” effect, led us to the question of how players’ incentives work in the absence of financial incentives to exert a particular kind of effort. For football, this type of effort has become the distance covered in a match, which is not valued by the market, but has a positive effect on the likelihood of a team win. To answer the question about player incentives, we identify three groups of factors: motivational, situational, and external, and use data from the 2015–2019 seasons of the German Bundesliga to study the impact of these factors on the level of effort in terms of distance covered. We were particularly interested in studying a non-financial motivation of players; so we hypothesize that players can share the values of the club and its fans by putting more effort into the derby matches that are important for the club. The obtained results allow us to explain the persistence of the “Moneyball” phenomenon over time and to determine the factors affecting the players’ choice of unpaid efforts.

Published: April 2024

Обзор охватывает современные научные теоретические и эмпирические статьи, посвященные изучению платформенных онлайн–рынков труда. В работе рассматриваются примеры функционирования подобных рынков в России и за рубежом, их типология и различия, обусловливающие необходимость дифференциации подхода к их изучению и регулированию. По своей природе онлайн–рынки труда имеют двойственный характер. С одной стороны, они обладают чертами двусторонних платформ. Часть обзора посвящена особенностям сетевых эффектов, вопросам ценообразования как на уровне заказчиков, так и на уровне всей платформы, а также оптимальным механизмам установления взаимодействия между двумя сторонами рынка (мэтчингу). С другой стороны, онлайн–платформы труда наследуют черты традиционного рынка, в связи с чем мы уделяем внимание таким актуальным для рынков труда вопросам, как асимметрия информации, условия сохранения или преодоления географической, социокультурной и гендерной дискриминаций, а также сложности обеспечения трудовых гарантий работникам. Освещенные в обзоре особенности онлайн–платформ труда могут найти отражение в разработке регулирования, учитывающего правовую и экономическую специфику подобных рынков; они могут быть также полезны как для заказчиков и исполнителей на онлайн–рынках труда, стремящихся повысить эффективность участия на платформе, так и для организаторов таких рынков.

In this survey, we overview recent theoretical and empirical studies on online labor platforms and provide real life examples on how these markets function in Russia and worldwide. We discuss ways to classify online labor platforms. We concentrate on respective distinctive features of different categories of online and platforms and, due to their structural differences, justify the need for differential approach to such markets research and regulation. Online labor platforms have dual nature. On the one hand, such markets can be regarded as two-sided platforms. Therefore, one part of the survey discusses network effects, optimal pricing strategies (both at the deal and platform level), and matching. On the other hand, online labor platforms inherit specific features of traditional labor market. Accordingly, our study highlights the labor market perspective: discrimination, worker rights protection, information asymmetry, and the mechanisms to avoid it, here including reputation, among the examples. Our study highlights legal and economic features of online labor platforms that should be taken into account when designing related competition and regulation policy. Moreover, the study can benefit workers and employers in the online labor markets that look at maximizing their respective surpluses from using a platform. Key words: online platforms, labor market

Letrozole (LTZ), is an aromatase inhibitor, that has been widely used in a variety of diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and breast cancer. LTZ is received via the oral route and metabolized in the liver. Therefore, LTZ may have toxic effects like other drugs metabolized in the liver. Based on this, our study aimed to investigate the effect of LTZ on liver function and biochemical parameters. For this purpose, 16 Wistar albino female rats were divided into two groups (n=8): Control and LTZ respectively. The rats in the letrozole group were administered with 2 mL/kg LTZ by oral gavage once a day for 21 days. The Control group received the vehicle once a day for 21 days. Blood samples were collected on the 22nd day of the experiment. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (ALB), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), direct bilirubin and total bilirubin were measured. Biochemical analysis indicated that ALT, AST, LDH, ALP, and total bilirubin levels were significantly higher in the LTZ administrated group compared to the Control. ALB levels decreased in the LTZ group. In conclusion, it was determined that LTZ has toxic and detrimental effects on the liver. We suggested that long-term LTZ administrated patients should be under control against liver damage and may have liver supporting adjuvant therapies for robust liver functions.

The construction sector is one of the main employers worldwide and requires a lot of labor. For decades, the industry had little technological advancement and low output. In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in various automation technologies, such as 3D printing, by the construction sector. It has been discovered that 3D printing holds great promise for automating building processes. It can reduce dangerous human operations, labor-intensive tasks, wasteful material use, construction time and more. A substantial amount of research has been done to comprehend the most recent developments, potential benefits and difficulties associated with the widespread use of 3D printing in construction projects. In this study, we review the labor-intensive industry of construction and any possible implications for the labor market from the increasing use of 3D printing. Empirical studies have indicated that 3D printing might mitigate the labor shortage by reducing the manpower needed, especially in countries where immigration is a major factor in the construction industry. However, in nations where labor is less expensive and construction is the primary industry, 3D printing cannot be advantageous. The findings indicate that the construction industry might benefit from 3D concrete/construction printing (3DCP) in terms of labor-intensive requirements, worker safety, as well as quicker construction and less wasteful material use.

Recently, there has been a rising acknowledgment of the significance of social inclusion (SI) for people with disabilities. SI is the active involvement and engagement of all persons in society's social, cultural, economic, and political elements. It includes equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources, as well as the removal of obstacles that prevent full participation. While the capacity of the arts to foster SI is recognized, impediments to SI for disabled individuals in the arts remain under researched. The paper identifies barriers to SI for inactivated individuals among the performing arts between four dimensions, according to 34 semi structured interviews with people with disabilities and people from the four arts who are not disabled. The study supports the social model of disability by highlighting societal barriers that are being constructed with smaller consideration toward the requirements of individuals having disabilities. The findings demonstrate that disabled people can gain from the arts and develop into more approachable, engaged, creative self-expressers, and voices. Beyond the social inclusion of individuals with impairments in the arts, they also have other consequences. Our approach conceptualizes these four obstacles to management changing so that disabled individuals may participate in society.
Exploring anti-narratives of war and de-otherness in Brian Turner's “2000 Ibs” and “Alhazen of Basra”

The narrative surrounding the United States' decision to declare war on Iraq is a complex and multifaceted issue. The Bush administration did, indeed, make claims asserting a close connection between the Iraqi regime and global terrorism, aiming to shift the focus of the "war on terrorism" toward Iraq. This administration presented inaccurate information and narratives that ultimately led to the occupation of Iraq. Furthermore, the Western view of Iraqis as "the other" played a significant role in justifying the war. Brian Turner, influenced by these war narratives, participated in this controversial conflict. His engagement exposed him to the brutal realities of war and the flaws in its narratives. Consequently, he addressed these issues in his poetry, focusing on the anti-narratives of war and the deothering of Iraqis, as well as the deothering of some American soldiers in the eyes of Iraqis. This aspect has not been thoroughly explored in light of Said's Orientalism and Fanon's concept of "the Other." The article delves into these anti-narratives of war and the deothering processes evident in Turner's poetry, specifically examining "2000 Ibs" and "Alhazen of Basra." The study concludes that Turner's anti-narratives of war, presented in these poems, unveil the fallacies of USA war narratives. Moreover, it highlights Turner's efforts to challenge the deothering of some American soldiers stereotyped as invaders in the eyes of Iraqis and his attempts to deother Iraqis, countering portrayals of them as savages and primitives in the eyes of the American people.

Curriculum materials are integrated horizontally, connecting various curricula by demonstrating concepts, principles, and laws to contribute to a comprehensive understanding and sustainability of the learned material. This approach is valid in the case of the National and Civic Education (NCE) curriculum, which can assist in overcoming the vital issues of vocational orientation in Jordan. This study aimed to explore whether the NCE curriculum contextualizes vocational education concepts facilitating students’ right selection of career paths and orientations. The researchers analyzed three NCE textbooks (8th, 9th, and 10th grades) to determine whether these textbooks included concepts relevant to vocational education and vocational guidance. The results showed that (NCE) textbooks include some valuable concepts; however, there is an absence of key concepts related to vocational education orientation and vocational guidance. The study concluded that NCE textbooks in upper primary education include essential concepts that could be out of interest to the students; however, the textbook can be integrated with more concepts to support students’ knowledge of vocational and technical education.
