Dialogue about “learning” across the Northern Norway-Russia border
Authors: Merzliakova Elena , Gradovski Mikhail , Eriksen Ødegaard Elin
Published: March 2022

This paper is the first in a series of three studies that explore the pedagogy used in the Norwegian and Russian early childhood settings by examining texts that are part of the syllabus in two early childhood teacher education programs that participated in our project with student international exchanges. The study explores how Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of dialogue relates to the concept of ‘learning’ in the context of early childhood teacher educations in Northern Norway and Northern Russia. The data sources are textbooks used as syllabi for kindergarten teacher education in those countries. These national dialogues are understood as authoritative discourses on the concepts of learning to which the students in both countries have to relate. By being inspired by Bakhtin’s notion of dialogue, we consider that the ideas in textbooks areas are in a dialogic relationship as they are parts of a regulating battle between centrifugal and centripetal forces. A constructivist perspective on learning and the division of the learning process into subject, knowledge and education areas are identified as the centripetal forces in the dialogue on learning. Activities, tools, and the role of adults are identified as centrifugal forces. Based on the hypothetical premise that textbooks influence practices and that practice may unfold as textbooks describe, we have created hypothetical discussions between educators and students in these countries. The study provides better insight on the premises for the dialogue about learning across international borders which can be useful in internalization and exchange programs in kindergarten teacher educations in different countries.

“A woman’s tongue is a double-edged sword”: A Linguo-Cultural Analysis of Yoruba and Punjabi Proverbs
Authors: Khan Lubna Akhlaq
Published: March 2022

This study focuses on Yoruba (African) and Punjabi proverbs by engaging with the themes of 'talk' and 'silence' regarding the gender of the speaker. Taking insights from Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (Lazar, 2007), data have been collected through purposive quota sampling from the collections of Punjabi and Yoruba proverbs. The thematic content analysis of the paremiological data from both languages reveals that women have been designated as loquacious in contemptuous terms as an indication of their ‘empty brains.’ Their argument is assumed to be meaningless as compared to the one offered by some male speakers. Silence in women is appreciated as a chief trait of a socially acceptable character. On the other hand, men's talk has been glorified as an essential trait of ‘merdangi’ (manliness), and they are encouraged to talk. In both languages, men are explicitly advised neither to act upon their wives’ suggestions nor to share their secrets with them. Feminine discourse has been showcased as an unproductive activity with a strong emphasis on the speakers' unreliability and insincerity. The speakers of these languages have to be aware of the adverse effects of such discourses on silencing the feminine voices for their rights and venting their creative talents. A conscious effort needs to be made by the media and academia to spread more positive discourses to make women an active and productive part of the social dialogue.
Effects of High-Intensity Stretch with Moderate Pain and Maximal Intensity Stretch without Pain on Flexibility

Published: March 2022

In this study, we aimed to identify the time course effects of different intensities of static stretch (SST) (maximal intensity without pain vs. high-intensity with moderate pain) on flexibility. This study included 16 healthy students (8 men and 8 women) who performed 1) 5-minute SST at 100%, 2) 110%, and 3) 120% intensity, as well as 4) no stretching (control) in a random sequence on four separate days. Static passive torque (SPT), hamstring electromyography (EMG), and pain intensity were continuously recorded during SST. We assessed markers of stiffness, range of motion (ROM), and maximal dynamic passive torque (DPTmax) before SST and 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, and 90 minutes after SST. Stiffness decreased and ROM and DPTmax increased significantly immediately after SST at the three different intensity levels (p < 0.05). The effects of SST at 120% intensity were stronger and lasted longer than the effects of SST at 110% and 100% intensity (stiffness: -17%, -9%, and -7%, respectively; ROM: 14%, 10%, and 6%, respectively; DPTmax: 15%, 15%, and 9%, respectively). SPT decreased after SST at all intensities (p < 0.05). SST at 120% intensity caused a significantly greater reduction in SPT than SST at 100% intensity (p < 0.05). Pain intensity and EMG activity increased immediately after the onset of SST at 120% intensity (p < 0.05), although these responses were attenuated over time. Stretching intensity significantly correlated with the degree of change in ROM and stiffness (p < 0.05). These results support our hypothesis that stretch-induced flexibility is amplified and prolonged with an increase in stretch intensity beyond the pain threshold. Additional studies with more participants and different demographics are necessary to examine the generalizability of these findings.

Abstract:

Neonatal malaria is one of the differential diagnoses of sepsis in malaria endemic areas. Neonatal malaria is often ignored as it is considered to be uncommon. Transfusion acquired malaria is among the causes of neonatal malaria, as blood is rarely screened for malarial parasite. Here we present a unique case of neonatal malaria caused by exchange transfusion done for indirect hyperbillirubenemia in a G6PD deficient baby.
Updating the Duty to Update
Authors: Sarah Pyun
Published: March 2022

For decades, courts have struggled to determine whether and when public companies are obligated to update prior disclosures that, although true when made, become misleading as a result of a subsequent event. Prior to 2020, a lack of urgency coupled with an increasingly periodic disclosure regime furthered obscured the role and relevance of this dubious obligation, otherwise known as the duty to update. However, with the paradigmatic subsequent event of COVID-19 still permeating through every aspect of life nearly two years after its onset, the duty to update—and all of its uncertainties—has come into the fore once again. 

This Note suggests three recommendations to the duty to update in light of its renewed relevance. First, the framework for identifying a statement subject to the duty should be streamlined. Second, courts should adopt a consistent materiality test when evaluating potential violations of the duty. Finally, and most importantly, the SEC should utilize its rulemaking power to clarify its calls for more continuous disclosures in the wake of the pandemic. Only then will the duty to update claim its appropriate role in the grand scheme of securities regulation.
Where Was this T-Shirt Made?
Authors: Miguel Angel Bacigalupe
Published: March 2022

In March 2021, Biden’s administration formally declared China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims a genocide in its annual human rights report published by the Department of State. It is difficult not to conclude that these findings may have also been influenced by the rare bipartisan criticisms aimed at China’s human rights record over the last few years. 

This bipartisan condemnation of the Chinese government seems to have paid off as President Joseph R. Biden signed into law the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) on December 23, 2021. This legislation prohibits the importation of goods produced with forced labor in China as it directs US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to apply a rebuttable presumption that “any goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or manufactured wholly or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China” have been made with forced labor. 

This Note argues that given the UFLPA’s overbroad economic implications and lack of clear enforcement mechanisms, is neither effective nor a realistic way of holding American companies seeking to import products from China accountable in the long term.

Methods: PubMed/Medline, Google scholar, online data base were searched for relevant data from 2010 to 2021 in English language by using keywords of Complementary therapies, alternative medicine, healing science, soul healing therapies, allied therapies, energy healing science etc. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 guideline and Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Study Design model were used in analyzing the studies. Results: This review included 13 studies included within the last 10 years that investigated knowledge, attitude and practices regarding CAM.Finding suggested that Folk medicines (46%) and ayurvedic medicines (45%) were most commonly used CAM. Advice from friends/relatives was the commonest source of information. None of the respondents had knowledge of adverse effects of CAM used by them and about 70% did not inform their doctor about use of CAM. 61.5% of the HCPs were aware that CAM includes AYUSH. 53% of the HCPs used CAM for self, especially for respiratory disorders (28.3%) and chronic painful conditions (21.6%). The common adverse effects attributed to use of CAM among patients which required consultation of the HCPs were hepatic (42.5%) and renal impairment (32.5%), allergy (10%), relapse Conclusion: This systematic review revealed that CAM treatments depends on various factors working at multiple levels viz., personal factors, disease’ characteristics, perceived treatment characteristics (positive attributes of CAM and negative attributes of BM) and external facilitators. Furthermore, the analysis also identifies the role of two underlining forces–push and pull–in motivating CAD patients to choose CAM treatments. The push force comprises factor that participants found to have a repelling nature, whereas pull forces were regarded as advantageous for CAM usage.

Employee Burnout During COVID-19 in the Hotel Industry
Authors: Eason Daniel , Weerakit Nareeya
Published: March 2022

Employee emotions and feelings are often overlooked in the hotel industry, this could not be more true since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis. This is mainly due to the hotels having to make drastic cutbacks in order to survive owing to the massive decline of guests due to the closing of the international borders. Therefore, this has had a huge impact on employees working from within the hotel industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the burnout of hotel employees. A quantitative approach was taken by distributing questionnaires to hotel employees working in the heavily tourist-dependent island of Phuket, Thailand. As a result, 420 valid responses were collected which were then uploaded and analysed by using SPSS. The results showed that burnout has increased drastically among hotel employees during the COVID-19 crisis. The results also indicate different demographic and job characteristics that have been found to have significantly high burnout values. The hotel industry needs to focus on employee welfare to avoid employees burning out, human resource strategies and initiatives should be implemented.

Authors: DEVI GITANJALI
Published: March 2022

A laboratory study was conducted to study of compatibility of entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora with insecticides currently used against cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon). To evaluate the nematode survival rate, infective juveniles (IJs) H. bacteriophora were exposed to Nimbecidine and Tricel at three different concentrations for 3 h,6 h, 12 h and 24 h. The surviving nematodes were used to determine the infectivity, penetration rate and reproduction potential in last instars cutworm larvae. Data showed that the survival rate of nematodes exposed to Nimbecidine and Tricel was 53% and 50% respectively. H. bacteriophora was found to be virulent with the A. ipsilon mortality (60 % to 70%).Penetration rate of IJs of H.bacteriophora in A. ipsilon larvae reached 55.5% when exposed to Nimbecidine at 0.125%. H.bacteriophora was more susceptible to chlorpyriphos than Nimbecidine. H. bacteriophora infectious ability and reproduction rate in A. ipsilon was found to be reduced in exposure of chlorpyriphos

Published: March 2022

Removal of soil from natural forest during open cast mining operation leads to severe disturbances not only to the local ecosystem also to livability of people. Reforestation is becoming a challenging task in post-open cast mine land as trees struggle to survive in refuse mine dump soils. Use of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can increase vegetation growth in disturbed soils. A study was conducted at refuse dump soils of Ballari, India. The objective was to investigate the effect of AM fungi in vegetation growth in the refuse dump soils. Twenty species were selected based on their ecological values viz., medicinal properties, firewood, fruits and shelter for birds etc. The saplings were inoculated with native AM fungi and maintained under nursery conditions for twelve months. The seedlings were observed for their growth characters by measuring height and collar diameter at regular intervals of every 3rd, 6th and 12th month. AM inoculated seedlings showed a greater increase in height than the control or non-inoculated seedlings. The increase in growth was three times in Syzygiumcumini, Thespesiapopulnea, Grevillearobusta and Holoptelaintegrifolia and two times in Mangiferaindica, Cordiaoblique, Tectonagrandis, Swieteniamahogany, Azadirachtaindica, Ficusbenghalensis, Ficusreligiosa and Phyllanthusemblica. Enhancement of collar diameter was three times in Thespesia populnea, A. indica, Ficus benghalensis, Ficus religiosa, Syzygiumcumini, Holoptela integrifolia and Grevillea robusta. The observation on establishment and survival rate of transplanted species like Tamarindus indica, Butea monosperma, Phyllanthus emblica and Cordia obliquato the main field was better when compared to other species. The study thus indicates the need and beneficial effect of AM fungi as growth promoters for tree species in refuse dump soils of opencast coal mine land.

Cultural words contrastive study of the Russian and Chinese languages
Authors: Ма Цзя
Published: March 2022

Статья посвящена контрастивному исследованию речевых ситуаций употребления культурных слов в русской и китайской языковых лингвокультурах. Охарактеризованы значения и особенности употребления культурных слов из трех категорий: вежливость, просьба, извинение в структуре китайских и русских языковых ситуаций. Проведенный анализ показал, что большая часть культурных слов, используемых в русской и китайской языковых ситуациях общения, носит национально-специфический характер и входит в состав культурно-зависимой лексики. Культурные слова, которые используются в русском и китайском языках для проявления вежливости, могут быть разделены на культурно-зависимые и культурно-независимые. Подбор и употребление в речи культурных слов для выражения просьбы в русском и китайском языках может отличаться в зависимости от ситуации, контекста и настроения собеседников.

The paper is devoted to the contrastive study of speech situations related to the use of cultural words in Russian and Chinese linguistic cultures. The meaning and peculiarities of the use of cultural words from three categories are characterized: politeness, request, apology in the structure of Chinese and Russian linguistic situations. The analysis shows that most of the cultural words used in Russian and Chinese linguistic situations of communication are of a nationally specific nature and are part of the culturally dependent vocabulary. Cultural words that are used in the Russian and Chinese languages to show politeness can be divided into culturally dependent and culturally independent. The selection and use of cultural words in speech to express a request in Russian and Chinese may differ depending on the situation, context and mood of the interlocutors.
Adyghe proverbs and sayings as the reflection of the Adyghes’ axiological worldview
Authors: Тхаркахова Нафисет Гиссовна
Published: March 2022

В статье исследуются языковые и национально-культурные особенности адыгейских паремий, формирующих аксиологическую картину мира адыгов. Были определены и сгруппированы концепты и понятия, которые наиболее характерны менталитету народа, являющиеся «маркерами» национального характера и уклада жизни адыгов. В работе отмечается, что паремиологический фонд адыгейского языка выступает зеркалом адыгейской народной культуры и тем самым воссоздает картину жизни прошлых времен. Большая часть имеющихся паремий в адыгейском языке, как и в любом другом, создавались веками и в определенные исторические эпохи. Практическая ценность определяется возможностью использования основных результатов и выводов статьи и последующих работ по данной теме на практических занятиях по фразеологии адыгейского языка, лингвокультурологии и межкультурной коммуникации.

The paper explores the linguistic and national cultural features of the Adyghe paroemias, which form an axiological worldview of the Adyghes. The publication identifies and groups the concepts and ideas that are most characteristic of the mentality of the people, which are "markers" of the national character and way of life of the Adyghes. The work notes that the paremiological fund of the Adyghe language acts as a mirror of Adyghe folk culture and thereby recreates a picture of the Adyghe life of past times. Most of the available paroemias in the Adyghe language, as in any other, were created for centuries and in certain historical eras. Practical value lies in the possibility of using the main results and conclusions of the paper and subsequent works on this topic in practical classes on the phraseology of the Adyghe language, cultural linguistics and cross-cultural communication, in classes on the practical work related to learning the Adyghe language.

Considerando-se a situação atual de pandemia, marcada por importantes crises na saúde e fragilidades psicossociais causadas pela COVID-19, a presente pesquisa quantitativa de caráter exploratório buscou avaliar o impacto na saúde mental dos profissionais atuantes na área da saúde, em um recorte no Noroeste Paulista. Foram coletadas 34 entrevistas estruturadas, onde foi aplicada a Escala HAD - Avaliação no nível de ansiedade e depressão, que teve por objetivo identificar os níveis de fragilidades relacionadas à saúde mental do trabalhador. Conclui-se, por meio dos dados obtidos, que 50% dos participantes demonstraram provável ou possível ansiedade, evidenciando também 82,35% improvável depressão. Nota-se uma porcentagem baixa de sinais depressivos em um período em que o excesso de trabalho na saúde foi primordial para o combate da pandemia. Sendo assim, ressaltou que os profissionais atuantes podem estar em um processo de adoecimento, devido ao índice de intensa ansiedade, bem como de dificuldades e resistências ao autorreconhecimento de ajuda profissional.

The main objective of this work is to analyze and evaluate the risks in the activities and processes developed in a civil construction work focused on the sanitation area, through the improvement of the Preliminary Risk Analysis (PRA) integrated with the Ishikawa Diagram, seeking to reduce the subjectivity of the PRA technique, in addition to identifying and characterizing the existing risks in the activities performed by workers, the probability of their occurrence, the level and intensity of the risks, and also having the necessary recommendations for each observed risk. Daily monitoring was carried out at all stages of the executive process of the activities explored to identify the risks to be analyzed for the constitution of the PRAi (Ishikawa diagram integrated with the PRA). Based on the PRAi results, the incidence of physical, ergonomic and accident risks was observed. Based on this research, it became clear the importance of identifying the risks existing in the activities observed and the necessary protection measures to mitigate or even eliminate risks in the work environment, improving safety, quality of life, and, consequently, productivity.

This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the pharmacological stability of the dentin biomodifiers emulsions based on copaiba oil X, at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months, and copaiba oil Y, at 0, 6, and 12 months. The emulsions were stored in different environments and analyzed through centrifugation, pH, and density tests, as well as their organoleptic and microbiological characters were investigated. Emulsion X did not show phase separation at 0 and 6 months in the freezer and fridge and showed cleavage in all environments after 12 months. The Y emulsion did not exhibit phase separation at 0 and 6 months in the stove, fridge, room temperature protected, and exposed to light. Still, after 18 and 24 months, phase separation occurred in all analyzed environments. The emulsions X and Y did not show contamination at 12 months. In the organoleptic test, the main change observed was color. The emulsion X presented the slightest deviation of pH in the room temperature protected from light, air conditioning, and fridge while the Y emulsion at 6 months presented a smaller variation in the freezer and fridge, and at 12 months, freezer, stove, and air conditioning. Regarding density, emulsion X at 24 months showed a very slight deviation, and emulsion Y remained stable in all environments at 12 months. The emulsions tested showed stability for 12 months, with the best storage environment being the fridge. The analysis at 18 and 24 months reinforced the fridge as an ideal environment for storage.

La osteoporosis es una enfermedad sistémica ósea caracterizada por un deterioro en la calidad y cantidad de hueso que determina un riesgo de fracturas. Existen múltiples opciones de tratamiento para disminuir este desenlace. Sin embargo, algunos pacientes las presentan a pesar del tratamiento y otros, tienen un riesgo muy alto de sufrirlas. En particular, los pacientes con fractura reciente, T-score <-3.0, fracturas durante el uso de glucocorticoides y pacientes mayores de 70 años tienen un mayor riesgo comparado con otros pacientes. En estos casos, las terapias osteoanabólicas brindan una mejor protección ósea y deben considerarse la primera línea de tratamiento. El descubrimiento del gen alterado de la esclerostina en la génesis de la enfermedad de Van Buchem y la esclerosteosis, permitió el desarrollo de un anticuerpo monoclonal contra esta proteína, el romosozumab. Este medicamento es un anabólico óseo que disminuye el riesgo de fracturas y es de uso recomendado en pacientes con osteoporosis de muy alto riesgo. Su uso es por 12 meses, aunque existe evidencia de re-tratamiento. Este medicamento brinda una oportunidad para los pacientes más difíciles de tratar o con osteoporosis de muy alto riesgo.

Introducción: Las principales causas de muerte en transplantados renales son enfermedades infecciosas y cardiovasculares, ambas muy comunes en la realidad brasileña. Además de los factores de riesgo convencionales, los factores de riesgo específicos pueden influenciar el desarrollo de enfermedades cardiovasculares en estos pacientes. Objetivos: Determinar la incidencia de eventos cardiovasculares en pacientes postransplante renal, analizar los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en el primer año, en el tercer año y en el quinto año postransplante y caracterizar el perfil de personas transplantadas de este estudio. Métodos: Estudio observacional de cohorte retrospectivo realizado en pacientes por encima de 18 años sometidos a transplante renal, del 2010 al 2016, seguidos por la Asociación Renal Vida, en Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Resultados: La muestra totalizó 577 pacientes (392 del sexo masculino y 185 del sexo femenino); edad media de 46,5 años; y 157 fallecimientos, siendo 43 causados por enfermedades cardiovasculares. Se observó que peso, índice de masa corporal y lipoproteína de alta densidad (HDL) aumentaron en el primer año postransplante y se estabilizaron después de 36 meses. El colesterol aumentó en el primer año, se mantuvo en el tercer año y decayó en el quinto año. Además de esto, hubo un aumento de 64 pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus después de tres años del transplante, mostrándose como factor de riesgo para accidente vascular cerebral, insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva (ICC), enfermedad vascular periférica e hipertrofia ventricular izquierda en el tercer año postransplante. Se verificó la obesidad como factor de riesgo para infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM), dado que el 60% de los pacientes que presentaron IAM poseían índice de masa corporal > 30 kg/m2. En contrapartida, niveles de HDL mayores que 40 parecen ser un factor de protección para hipertrofia ventricular izquierda en el tercer año y para accidente vascular cerebral en el quinto año. Edad menor que 50 años también parece ser un factor de protección para IAM, accidente vascular cerebral, ICC e hipertrofia ventricular izquierda en los primeros 36 meses y para ICC después de 60 meses, pues el 66,67% de los pacientes con ICC en este período tenían edad superior a 50 años. Conclusión: Se observó que parte de los factores de riesgo para las enfermedades cardiovasculares es modificable. De esta forma, mantenimiento de hábitos saludables, especialmente por encima de los 50 años, parece ser una estrategia que puede mejorar el riesgo cardiovascular y la expectativa de vida postransplante renal.

Introduction: The main causes of death in kidney transplant recipients are infectious and cardiovascular diseases, both very common in Brazilian reality. In addition to conventional risk factors, specific risk factors may influence the development of cardiovascular disease in these patients.Objectives:To determine the incidence of cardiovascular events in post-kidney transplant patients, to analyze the cardiovascular risk factors in the first, third and fifth year post-transplant, and to characterize the profile of transplanted people in this study. Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study carried out in patients over 18 years of age who underwent kidney transplantation, from 2010 to 2016, followed up by the Associação Renal Vida, in Blumenau, Santa Catarina state,in Brazil. Results: The sample totaled 577 patients (392 males and 185 females); mean age group of 46.5 years; and 157 deaths, 43 of which were caused by cardiovascular diseases. It was observed that weight, body mass index and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) increased in the first year post-transplantation and stabilized after 36 months. Cholesterol increased in the first year, remained unchanged in the third and decreased in the fifth year. In addition, there was an increase in 64 patients with diabetes mellitus three years after transplantation, which is a risk factor for stroke, congestive heart failure (CHF), peripheral vascular disease and left ventricular hypertrophy in the third year after transplantation. Obesity was found to be a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), since 60% of patients who had AMI had a body mass index > 30 kg/m2. In contrast, HDL levels greater than 40 seem to be a protective factor for left ventricular hypertrophy in the third year and for stroke in the fifth year. Age younger than 50 years also seems to be a protective factor for AMI, stroke, CHF and left ventricular hypertrophy in the first 36 months and for CHF after 60 months, as 66.67% of patients with CHF in this period were older than 50 years old. Conclusion: It was observed that part of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is modifiable. Thus, maintaining healthy habits, especially over 50 years of age, seems to be a strategy that can improve cardiovascular risk and life expectancy after kidney transplantation.

Philosophy of religion is not focused on a particular religion, but rather on explaining the main points of religious teachings in general and includes all components of thought and teachings related to the interests of human essential life. Death is a part of human life that cannot be explained empirically. Thus, death becomes an eternal problem for humans. In this study, the death of the philosophy of religion perspective is a form of awareness of the reality of metaphysical-existential life. Thus, the synergy between heart in religion and reason in philosophy becomes one as an objective approach to death. The process of death during a pandemic is an acknowledgment of human existence in this limited world. The purpose of this paper is the importance of understanding philosophy and religion in the philosophy of religion in human life. Especially the meaning of death during a pandemic and after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is library research with a qualitative method that involves the point of view of religious philosophy in seeing the meaning of post-pandemic death in a rational-philosophical manner. Thus, death is no longer a matter that is always debated, but death does not need to be worried and worried but must be faced by preparing it through the provision of religious understanding and a good attitude of religiosity. Therefore, this research is considered important to provide a critical view of the meaning of death from the point of view of religious philosophy.
