Generalist Early Education and Specialist Physical Education Teachers’ Views on the Scope of Early Childhood Physical Education
Authors: DİAMANTİ Ioanna , DANIA Aspasia , VENETSANOU Fotini , KAMBERİDOU Irene
Published: May 2023

On a national ministerial announcement concerning employing specialist Physical Education (PE) teachers to teach PE in early childhood education (as opposed to generalist early education teachers), this research sought to investigate teachers’ views on this issue. Taking Lawson's (1983) theory of occupational socialization as a sensitizing framework, we examined whether teachers' specialization and experiences of participation in PE influenced their perspectives on early childhood PE teaching. Twenty in-service teachers, male and female, working in public education as generalist early childhood teachers (n = 10) and specialist physical education teachers (n = 10) participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews and the thematic analysis technique were used to generate data. The results showed that irrespective of their specialization, teachers’ positive acculturation experiences in PE and sports influenced their attitudes towards early childhood PE. However, all participants assigned a functional-practical value to PE rather than an educational one. This finding was attributed to broader socio-cultural influences concerning the scope of school PE in early education. Both generalist and specialist teachers perceived their professional roles and responsibilities as distinct. They advocated for establishing interdisciplinary professional training programs as a prerequisite for employing PE specialists in early childhood education. Even though teachers’ specialization shapes their scientific assumptions and understandings, personal acculturation and professional socialization experiences seem influential in determining their daily practices at school. The emerging early childhood PE literature could open up a myriad of opportunities for research in this field, always keeping in mind that the learning needs and interests of young children stay in the foreground.

Nas últimas décadas a sociedade mudou e as mudanças na educação ocorreram através de leis que garantiram o acesso das crianças à escola: a educação básica tornou-se obrigatória a todos. Porém, no cenário atual e com a perspectiva das sequelas da Pandemia, em que a educação é obrigatória, todavia num contexto diferente, houve uma cobrança da sociedade: “meu filho não consegue fazer as atividades”, “eu não consigo ajudar”, “eu não tenho paciência”; sobram pais, filhos e professores estressados. Este trabalho de pesquisa trata do tema: os impactos da pandemia no trabalho docente, assim reflexões sobre as práticas pedagógicas no ensino remoto. O principal objetivo foi identificar os desafios, estratégias e principais dificuldades encontradas pelos professores neste momento atípico. A relevância de pesquisar sobre o tema justifica-se por auxiliar professores a analisar e refletir sobre as estratégias, dificuldades e desafios do ensino aprendizagem com a suspensão das aulas presenciais. Os professores, a família e a escola precisaram buscar meios para reduzir o impacto das aulas não presenciais. Como instrumentos da coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas virtuais com professores de uma escola pública estadual do RS, onde foram analisadas suas concepções sobre o tema do projeto, suas perspectivas e suas experiências com as aulas remotas. Concluiu-se que houve ainda a preocupação dos professores com as questões sociais que envolveram seus alunos como, por exemplo, bem-estar, alimentação, a conectividade para que ninguém ficasse para trás durante a suspensão das aulas.

Design and Implementation of Coconut Husk Shredder Machine for Briquettes and Testing Analysis
Authors: JOURNAL IJSREM
Published: May 2023

The aim of this paper is to explain the scheme of development and construction a machine that shreds coconut husks. The machine makes use of coconut husks that tender coconut dealers have left on the side of the road. This stack of delicate coconut husks causes inconvenience to the public. It cannot be crushed into a fine powder using the current shredder. A machine capable of shredding coconut husk has been developed. The machine's 32mm shaft spins at 1200 revolutions per minute in a clockwise manner. There are 32 blades on the shaft. The clamps have a 6mm thickness, while the blades are 3mm thick. 31 fixed blades on the opposite side of the shaft are fastened to the frame. V-belt with pulley, that is connected with motor, rotates the shaft. The 2 horsepower engine rotates at 1440 rpm. In order to cut the coconut husk to the proper size, the revolving 32 blades apply cutting force to the coconut husk during the cutting process. The blades feature thick, hard-faced cutting surfaces. The tiny particle ranges in size from 3 to 5 mm. Following the hourly shredding procedure, the machine's output may create 30 to 40 kg of coconut husk. An affordable portable shredder machine is produced by fabrication with suitable dimensioning and consideration of necessary factors. In comparison to current shredder machines, the new shredder machine requires less space and can be transferred easily from one location to another. By selling briquettes, it generates employment in rural areas. This machine's design was completed after thorough literature survey. Waste to wealth will be produced by turning coconut husk into briquettes that may be utilised as cocopeat. Additionally, the shell is pulverised to create activated carbon, which is used in products like water filters, cosmetics, and other things.]

Cartographies in the Wilderness: A Decolonial Theological Reflection on Intersectionality
Authors: Burnett, Jr. Rufus
Published: May 2023

“Cartographies in the Wilderness” is a decolonial theological reflection on intersectionality. With a specific attention to how decolonial theory rethinks the spatial dimensions of the modern/colonial world, I offer an alternative framework for thinking about the “whereness” of intersectionality and the bodies and souls it hopes to redeem from interlocking oppressions. The work is specifically aimed at undoing an overdependency on reifying and defending intersectional vulnerabilities as the sole method of delinking from the logics that naturalize exclusivist forms of human difference. Through a decolonial reading of Delores Williams’s “wilderness experience,” I argue that theology can engage critical theory (read here as intersectionality) fruitfully without falling victim to the so called “divisiveness” that is often associated with the historical narratives that emerge from the critiques of race, class, gender, sex, and sexuality. From a decolonial theological perspective, I conclude that an adequate decolonization of the geopolitics that situate knowledge and knowledge production is key for the future of cooperation between theological reflection, intersectionality, and critical theory at large.
An Interdisciplinary Theological Method from the Knowledge of the Forgotten
Authors: Martins Alexandre A.
Published: May 2023

This essay articulates an interdisciplinary theological method from an historical reality as a theological locus for doing theology in dialogue with marginalized voices. Viewed from a liberating perspective, it advances previous articulations of the theological method developed in Latin America to include new theological methods from specific contexts marked by oppression and marginalization. The author argues that contemplation and dialogue are key foundations for the development of theology in any context. He offers a methodological account of doing theology that is grounded in the historical experience of marginalized communities of faith and advanced through contemplation and dialogue. In doing so, he demonstrates how contemplation and dialogue sustain a methodological framework for doing theology that emerges from hermeneutical mediations (interlocutors in dialogue) through which the transcendent is manifested in the immanent and the ethical implications for a community of faith are made evident.
Enfleshing the Work of Social Production: Gender, Race and Agency
Authors: Heyer Kristin
Published: May 2023

The hidden dynamics of reproductive labor raise troubling moral questions related to labor exploitation, gender inequality and complicity in complex structures of injustice with far-reaching consequences. An intersectional analysis illuminates how beliefs and practices around sex and gender encode oppressive economic relations and how domestic workers’ race, gender and citizenship status compound their experiences of exploitation. Even as the pandemic has exacerbated intersectional inequalities, it offers an opportunity to examine the factors contributing to these entrenched patterns of exploitation and to consider how societies can return to a “new normal” in its aftermath. Toward that end, this article analyzes the structures and ideologies contributing to these entrenched patterns in order to frame them in terms of social injustice rather than isolated choices made by virtuous or vicious mothers alone. Next it considers how Catholic teaching both contributes to exploitation and offers resources for reform. A “new normal” will require significant changes in structures, incentives, ideologies, and formation, given the intersectional operations of power at play and their reinforcement by cultural and religious narratives alike.
Intersectionality at the Heart of Oppression and Violence against Women
Authors: George Julie
Published: May 2023

Diverse biases contribute to how society perceives survivors of sexual violence and domestic violence, and stereotypes often create obstacles for extending support and care. Intersectionality helps explain how all victims of violence are not treated the same way and the complexities of multiple arenas of oppression and privilege in our society. In particular, victims of sexual violence are too often subject to exploitation and harassment within the justice system when due process of law is emphasized over protection of victims. For Dalit women in Indian society, the very systems and movements that should safeguard them have become instruments of their marginalization. These case studies will examine the way intersectional oppression operates within India’s social and legal systems leading to further oppression of Dalit women. It is imperative that stringent provisions and measures addressing gender-based violence, intersectional violence, sexual abuse, caste, race and class-based oppression and other marginalities faced by women feature as essential elements of all our systems, policies and decisions.
Intersectionality and Orthodox Theology: Searching for Spandrels
Authors: Contos Rachel
Published: May 2023

The author argues that Orthodox theology and intersectionality can be mutually illuminative both in theory and in praxis ordered to dismantling interlocking systems of oppression and to the creation of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. By taking an approach that looks for spaciousness for the “both/and” to exist, rather than single-axis thinking, the author seeks to model what intersectional coalition can look like with Orthodox theology. The author overlays the Orthodox concepts of sobornost’, icon, and theosis with the intersectional concepts of coalition, subjectivity, and the basement metaphor, tying theory to activist praxis with beloved community, emergence, and transformative justice.

C316N Polymorphism associated with resistance to HCV polymerase NS5B in treatment-naïve patient with chronic hepatitis C
Authors: Raiss Noureddine
Published: May 2023

High genetic variability of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) due to copying errors during the viral cycle leads to the development of mutations, and resistance-associated variants (RAVs), even with the advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). Assessment of the presence of these mutations is essential for targeted treatment regimens and proper infection management, as treatment is related to genotypes and developing mutations. The study investigates the presence of resistance mutations in the nonstructural protein 5B (NS5B) region in treatment naïve patients. 100 positive plasma samples from patients presented for a follow-up service of chronic HCV infection (CHC) at the National Institute of Hygiene (NIH) of Rabat-Morocco. NS5B sequencing revealed the presence of C316N in one treatment naïve patient of subtype 1b. Additionally, six treatment-naïve patients with subtypes 2a and 2i exhibited the presence of the M289L mutation.

Authors: Lee Jung Ho
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation on the balance and gait required for functional activities in patients with Parkinson's disease. 16 patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and a control group receiving functional electrical stimulation. BBS, POMA, and TUG were used before and after intervention to evaluate balance and walking ability required for functional activities of patients. In the study results, all groups showed a significant increase in intra-group evaluation using BBS, POMA, and TUG, and in the analysis to investigate the difference in treatment effect between groups, there was a significant difference in POMA and TUG in the experimental group compared to the control group. In conclusion, the intervention method using PNF has a positive effect on the functional activity of Parkinson's patients.

Emotion recognition is a crucial task in human-computer interaction, psychology, and neuroscience. Electroencephalogram (EEG)-based multi-class emotion recognition is a novel approach that aims to identify and classify human emotions by analysing EEG signals. Traditional methods of emotion recognition often face challenges in accurately identifying and classifying human emotions due to their complexity and subjectivity. EEG-based emotion recognition provides a direct and objective measure of three emotional states (positive, neutral, and negative), making it a promising tool for emotion recognition. The proposed hybrid LSTM approach combines the strengths of different traditional machine learning algorithms: Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression (LR), and Decision Tree (DT). The approach was tested on the EEG brainwave dataset, and LSTM achieved an accuracy of 95%, while the proposed hybrid LSTM-GNB, LSTM-SVM, LSTM-LR, and LSTM-DT models achieved 65%, 96%, 97%, and 96% accuracy, respectively. The contribution of this study is the development of a hybrid LSTM approach that combines the strengths of two different algorithms, resulting in higher accuracy for multi-class emotion recognition using EEG signals. The results demonstrate the potential of the hybrid LSTM approach for real-world applications such as emotion-based human-computer interaction and mental health diagnosis.

Justice under Law

Justice under Law

Law and justice are near synonyms in common speech. We expect the law to deliver justice, and we cannot imagine justice absent some system of law. In his recent book, Justice before the Law, Michael Huemer challenges this traditional view of law and justice. Given the prevalence of unjust laws and legal practices in the United States, and the deference shown to law by agents of the American legal system, Huemer argues that we ought to affirm the primacy of justice over the law. This article argues that Huemer is right about the primacy of justice, but he errs in his understanding of what justice is, and the means through which it is best achieved. Law operates as a form of enquiry that seeks to discover what justice is. Law is a necessary means to justice. True justice must be justice under law.

Gender-neutral Nominative Personal Pronouns in Korean and British-American Textbooks
Authors:   Convergence English Language & Literature Association, Leem Ji-soo
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to examine the gender-neutral tendency of personal pronouns used in Korean EFL and British-American ESL textbooks. The research especially focused on nominative pronouns (he, she, they, and he or she) to explore personal pronouns used in gender-neutral situations. The data were analyzed using Antconc, a corpus analysis program. The study found that all four textbooks did not deviate significantly from prescriptive grammar of personal pronouns and the pronoun “he” was still used a lot in gender-neutral sentences. However, British-American textbooks showed a slightly more gender-neutral tendency than Korean ones.
Causes of acoustic trauma among Polish State Fire Service officers: a review of incidents in 20152022
Authors: Dudziński Łukasz , Czyżewski Łukasz , Kubiak Tomasz , Milczarczyk Tomasz
Published: May 2023

A rare type of risk associated with firefighting activities and affecting the central nervous system (CNS) is acoustic trauma. The main causes of acoustic trauma in professional firefighters include long-term exposure to noise from fire engine sirens, emergency call alarms in the fire stations (fire halls), and the operation of equipment used during rescue and firefighting operations.The study was based on an analysis of data obtained from the HR Department of the National Headquarters of the State Fire Service (NHSFS). The analysis included cases of acoustic trauma suffered by firefighters while on duty, which were reported to the control room of their firefighting units as rescuer accidents, and followed up with medical interventions.The average number of accidents among SFS firefighters per year during the study period was n=1.617.During the study period (2015-2022), there were seven incidents in which a total of 11 firefighters suffered acoustic trauma affecting the CNS and the organ of hearing.To prevent on-duty accidents, both practical and theoretical training sessions are provided, covering measures aimed at reducing accident rates to minimum levels. Other important activities include hearing prophylaxis; medical examinations; breaks during work, appropriate organisation of work and the working environment; compliance with the applicable regulations, internal procedures and safety instructions; the use of personal protective equipment, and the good technical condition of vehicles and equipment.
Memory and Metanarratives: Recalling/Retelling ‘Life and Political Reality’ of Pre- & Post-Liberation Bangladesh in Shahidul Zahir’s Novella
Authors: Mansi Wilkinson & Shailendra P. Singh
Published: May 2023

A close connection exists between literature and history, especially in times of major upheavals in the political and cultural climate of a nation. While history posits itself as fact, literature represents those facts by connecting disperse events and telling an overarching story of the historical record. When understood in this context, historical memory becomes the cornerstone of individual and collective identities. The shared experiences enable a community to pull an array of distinct memories together into a coherent whole. The paper discusses how Zahir delineates a diverse range of characters and incorporates multiple arcs and trajectories; thereby expanding the novella to form a collective history and national identity of the people of East Pakistan. From the vantage point of the third-person, Zahir analyses the retrospective memory of 1971 that not only shapes the present of the victims but also reclaims their past and rewrites their history. Since memory plays a significant role in shaping the national identity. One notion of national identity mainstreams one group of citizens and relegates the other to a marginal existence. Hence significant moments in a nation’s history are often interpreted in the light of conflicting metanarratives for pollical expediency. The paper explores Zahir’s novella ‘Life and political reality’ and depicts the clash of metanarratives in Bangladesh during the war of liberation and after the 1975 military coup.
