AXILLARY NERVE SUPPLYING MOTOR BRANCH TO LONG HEAD OF TRICEPS BRACHII MUSCLE: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Authors: Dasegowda Giridhar , Rangappa Seema Shimoga
Published: May 2021

All three heads of the triceps brachii are classically described as being innervated by the radial nerve in the textbooks.
Some clinical observations of traumatic injuries of the axillary nerve with associated paralysis of the long head of triceps
and cadaveric studies have suggested that the axillary nerve may innervate the long head of triceps. During routine dissection to undergraduate
M.B.B.S students, we found axillary nerve giving a motor branch to long head of triceps brachii on right side, in an adult male cadaver aged about
60 years. We conducted extensive literature search to analyse the previous studies reporting such variations and the studies conducted on the radial
nerve or triceps brachii innervation pattern. This variation is clinically important for surgeons, orthopedicians and anaesthetist while performing
surgeries and pain management therapies on the upper limb.
DENGUE FEVER: CLINICO-PATHOLOGICAL CORRELATION WITH SEROLOGICAL MARKERS AND PLATELET COUNT
Authors: Jain Gunjan , Savani Saloni , Jain Hardik
Published: May 2021

Dengue is an acute viral illness caused by RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae and spread by Aedes mosquitoes.
Presenting features may range from asymptomatic fever to dreaded complications such as hemorrhagic fever and shock. A
decreased number of white blood cells (leukopenia) accompanied by a decreased number of platelet count (thrombocytopenia) and metabolic
acidosis are the initial changes on laboratory examinations. Microbiological laboratory testing conrms the diagnosis of Dengue Fever. Virus
segregation in cell cultures, nucleic acid demonstration by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and serological detection of viral antigens (such as
NS1) or particular antibodies are the preferred microbiological assays. This study focuses on the importance of platelet counts and other platelet
parameters in dengue infection. Also platelet counts are compared with clinical, radiological and other serological markers.

Published: May 2021

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. durum Desf.) is an important cereal crop in many regions of the world. In March of 2018 and 2019, symptoms typical of blast were frequently observed on durum wheat plants under field conditions in Jashore, Bangladesh. The putative causal pathogen was isolated from infected wheat spike specimens onto potato dextrose agar and oatmeal agar, and was identified from mono-conidium cultures as Magnaporthe oryzae, based on morphological features. The pathotype of the fungus was identified as Triticum, based on comparative molecular analyses of ITS sequences and MoT3 specific markers. BLAST analysis revealed >99.8% similarity with M. oryzae/P. oryzae, retrieved from the NCBI Genebank. This was confirmed through amplification of the predicted products with MoT3 primers in PCR analysis. Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculating healthy durum wheat seedling leaves and spikes with a conidium suspensions of M. oryzae isolate DuBWMRI1901.2A. The fungus produced similar symptoms on inoculated leaves and spikes as those observed in the field, and was subsequently re-isolated, fulfilling Koch’s postulates. This is the first report of blast of durum wheat caused by Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum in Bangladesh.
Molecular and serological detection of Parietaria mottle virus in Phytolacca americana, a new host of the virus
Authors: PARRELLA Giuseppe , TROIANO Elisa , STINCA Adriano , POZZI Maria Isabella
Published: May 2021

Parietaria mottle virus (PMoV) is an emerging virus in Mediterranean countries, responsible for severe disease in tomato and pepper crops in the field and protected cultivation. The principal wild reservoir of PMoV is Parietaria officinalis, and only few additional wild plants have been described as natural reservoirs of the virus. During field survey in southern Italy, several plants of Phytolacca americana showing virus-like symptoms were collected. Serological and molecular assays showed that these plants were infected by PMoV. Sequence comparison of the movement protein gene of the PMoV isolate from P. americana showed the greatest similarity to the corresponding sequence from tomato plants growing nearby. These results indicate that P. ameriacana is a new natural host of PMoV, and further investigation is warranted to establish the potential of this host as reservoir of the virus in the field.

Beyond the Rhetoric of Educational Policy in Nigeria: Understanding the State Actors Neglect on Education During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Okoye Kingsley E. , Ibenwa Christopher N. , Ekekwe Ezinwanne
Published: May 2021

Different educational policies established in Africa as well as the Nigerian 2013 National Policy on Education (NPE) as revised has clearly shown that education is the key to human life. As such, it should be given to every citizens of the country especially those in the lower basic classes. Contrary to this statement, Nigerian governments in the first phase of easing the lockdown have failed to incorporate the policy blue print in its words, deeds and actions. This neglect manifested in the lifting of bans on church closures, inter-state movements, operation of other non essential businesses at the expense of education in the country. This is a cross-sectional study aimed at examining the State actors’ neglect on education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results showed that Nigerian governments at different levels (national and sub-national) treat education with disparity, contempt, and levity. Unnecessary value placed on frivolities was observed as a factor militating against education in the country.

The study adopted a descriptive survey and Quasi-experimental research designs. The sample consisted of 420 senior secondary schools (SSSII) Financial Accounting students selected using Multi-stage sampling technique. An instrument titled “Financial Accounting Multiple-Choice Test (FAMT)” with a reliability coefficient of .80 was administered to selected students. The marks obtained through standard conventional, logical weight, corrected and confidence scoring techniques were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings showed that the logical weight scoring technique had the highest mean value of 40.63 when compared with other scoring techniques. It was also revealed that there was a significant difference in the performance of students in Financial Accounting multiple-choice test items using the four scoring techniques (F(3,1676) =31.494, p<.05). Based on the findings, it was concluded that students performed better using the logical weight scoring technique in Financial Accounting multiple-choice test items and is the most effective scoring technique among others.

Objectivity is an Elusive Ideal that Can Never be Achieved
Authors: Ajjan Mazen
Published: May 2021

The Paper investigates objectivity of Mass Media in the Middle East. The researcher chooses the most prominient news channel in that turbulent area of the world, namely Al-Jazeera Arabic news channel and examines its journey to claim its assumed objectivity. The paper gives analysis of objectivity in different cultureal contexts.  It shows the ways Al-Jazeera established itself as an objective voice and how it presented itself as an alternative view to the dominant western perspective of global news.  At the end the paper takes an intersting turn by bringing objectivity back to its "stallwart" – American journalism, where it  was openly dropped in the face of national threat. The study realizes that the same conditions which gave Al-Jazeera Arabic its objectivity, in the eyes of its viewers, were the ones that its competitors used to disclaim its objectivity. Conditions can easily change if circumstances or attitudes changed. The paper concludes that Objectivity, in its bright side, is an elusive ideal that can never be achieved in our turbulant world.

The Time of the Creation of Kanun: An Hystorical Observation through the Terminology
Authors: Aliu Alket
Published: May 2021

Different scholars are of different opinions regarding the time when the entity of the Albanian traditional law known as “Kanuni i Leke Dukagjinit” was compiled, precisely the law which reigned supreme in the highlands of Northern Albania. They offer their arguments based on historical data, mainly but also tapping other sources. In order to resolve such a mystery, we can obtain important data through the analyses of the language and terminology used by Father Shtjefen Gjecovi, when he gathered and compiled the Albanian oral tradition of Kanun. The time when Kanun began to govern the life of the inhabitants of Northern Albania is quite important as in this way we can gauge the evolution of the terminology used in the Kanun up to the point that the oral tradition was gathered, compiled and written down by Father Shtjefen Gjecovi at the beginning of the last century. Such a terminology helps us to come to the conclusion that in spite of the fact that Kanun existed many centuries ago, there are a lot of different strata in it up to the modern times ones.

The Cultural and Musical Tradition of Elbasan (16th - 20th Century)
Authors: Tusha Kastriot
Published: May 2021

The aim of this paper is to explore and review the role and contribution of Elbasan city in the well-known cultural and musical tradition of Albania. Referring to documents, this tradition dates back in the 16th century with the creation of the first musical bands, characteristic of that time, known otherwise as fanfarat or tajfat. During Ottoman invasion, especially during the 16th-17th century, oriental influence on Albanian folk music has been quite evident. Some musicologists think that this impact has been more evident especially in the music of the middle part of Albania. It needs to be emphasized that this influence has not been absolutely strict, since in most songs it appears either as a collaboration or a parallel version. After the 17th century in Elbasan, as well as in its surrounding regions, there was born folk music, firstly as the music of beano, and later on as a typical civic folk music accompanied by the orchestra. Ethnomusicologists think that prior to folk city music, there used to be country folk music, in the north eastern part of Elbasan, in the villages around Zaranika estuary, where old songs were sung, and very soon they were spread even in Elbasan. Meanwhile, by the years 20s and 30s of the 20th century in Elbasan there was spread civid folk music whose founders were the trio of: Isuf Myzyri, Leksi i Vinit as well as Mustafa Bodini. Folk songs of Elbasan belong to the musical style of the middle part of Albania; since they are sung in the dialect of Elbasan, they are considered as the civic folk songs of Elbasan. There needs to be highlighted that even during the first half of the 20th century, a great role in the musical and cultural tradition was played by the social and patriotic clubs, such as “Bashkimi” (1908), “Drita”, Vllaznia (18 April 1908) as well as the creation of patriotic society known as “Afërdita”. The latest one, in 1917 reestablished a musical band as well with the same name “Afërdita”, which existed before. This band besides various marches, it used to play hymns too by using wind instruments, folk music not only in Elbasan but even in other towns in Albania. The band “Afërdita” functioned until the early years of World War 2.

In this study, we introduce a new iterative processes to approximate common fixed points of an infinite family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings and obtain a strongly convergent iterative sequence to the common fixed points of these mappings in a uniformly convex Banach space. Also we prove that this process to approximate zeros of an infinite family of accretive operators and we obtain a strong convergence result for these operators. Our results improve and generalize many known results in the current literature.

APOPHATIC OF SLEEP IN A. GRIN’S STORY “STRUGGLE WITH DEATH”: ONTOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS
Authors:   Peoples ' friendship University of Russia, Dudareva M.A.
Published: May 2021

Subject of the article: apophatic of sleep. The article examines how the apophatic of culture is implemented through a literary work, namely, it considers the apophatic side of the phenomenon of sleep. Object of the article: A. Grin’s early story “Struggle with Death”. If researchers refer to this text, they consider it only immanently, in the context of all the works by the writer. However, this story is of particular value in the cultural-philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of sleep and death in the Russian version of logocentrism, since in this story sleep is a condition for the character’s recovery, the way out of the morbial state. Research methodology: a holistic analysis of a literary text in the ontohermeneutic way with the use of a semantic research method. Research results: the identification of the apophatic nature of sleep in Grin’s story. Sleep is endowed with ontological properties and meaning-generating functions. The appeal to philosophical reflections on the axiological status of sleep by the German philosopher Rudolf Steiner, whose ideas were shared by the representatives of the Silver Age, especially Maximilian Voloshin, is also productive, since the anthroposophist highlights the apophatic side of sleep associated with day and night human consciousness.

Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the symbols of the Mezen painting as a single system. The spinning wheel is viewed as a cosmogonic model of our ancestors, where painting is directly related to the content of the image. The object of the research is the archaic symbols of the Mezen painting. The subject is the development of ornaments and prints for decor and product design. The history of the Mezen craft (geography, origins, traditions), the artistic features of the craft (materials, technology) and the semantics of the ornament are studied. The article considers archaic ornaments of Mezeno in connection with the ancient cultures of mankind (the Neolithic era, Andronov culture, Ancient Greece, etc.) and Slavic traditional culture. The article deals with deciphering the semantics of the ornament of the Mezen spinning wheel as a reflection of the idea of the world of our ancestors. The author's development "The symbolism of the Mezen painting in contemporary art" is given, showing the possibility of using the Mezen ornament at the present stage of the development of artistic culture in art and design. The authors of the article propose to use the ornaments and symbols of Mezeno as decor and prints in modern art and design.
