MUSEUM EDUCATION AS A TOOL FOR PROMOTING SCHOOL-WIDE COMMUNITY AND FAMILY COOPERATION IN ELEMENTARY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT
Authors: Vitalaki Elena
Published: January 2023

Building relationships among students and their wider community may encourage participation and impact student learning. This study describes the implementation of a three-month model project in Museum Education in a primary school in a rural province of Crete. Observational data of students (N = 11) and their parents (10 fathers and 10 mothers) focuses on: a) what extent students with different educational needs acquired new educational and interpersonal experiences by the investigation of the historical, cultural habits and customs of contemporary children and the children of Minoan civilization, and b) examining the notion of parents’ participation in their children's educational and social school activities. It is indicated that the whole process encouraged student participation in class activities, achieved a more comfortable classroom environment, promoted collaboration with peers, their teacher and museum-educators and created a sense of community. Due to the children’s maximum interest for the programme, parents in order to strengthen the access of such efforts, offered a further cooperation with the teacher and administrators of the program, as well as with other support services that leaded to the constitution of a parent-teacher association and the founding of a new library in their province.

Published: January 2023

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disease commonly seen in postmenopausal women. We report two cases of pathological fractures following trivial injuries in two different age groups; the middle and teen age group presented as PHPT due to parathyroid adenoma. PHPT usually presents with symptomatic hypercalcemia and target organ damage. Biochemical manifestations in both cases are similar i.e. hypercalcemia, elevated serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and mass in the parathyroid gland. Histopathological examination is consistent with parathyroid adenoma. We highlighted these two cases due to long delay before the PHPT diagnosisisconfirmedbecause of various investigations commenced in these patients to rule out other diagnoses.

Authors: Vashe Asha , Devi Vasudha , Pallath Vinod , Abraham Reem Rachel , Kamath Asha
Published: January 2023

Background: In outcome-based education, the components of the curriculum must facilitate the students to attain expected outcomes. Hence, it is imperative to evaluate the components of the curriculum.
Objective: The study aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive questionnaire, Manipal Inventory for Curriculum Evaluation (MICE) to evaluate the outcomes of a hybrid physiology curriculum.
Methods: The development and validation of the questionnaire consisted of three stages. The first stage comprised generation of items through literature survey. A three-round modified Delphi technique was used in the second stage to gain consensus across the eleven panel members about the items in the questionnaire. The resulted questionnaire was administered to volunteers from first year undergraduate medical students which comprised the third stage. Principal Component Analysis with Varimax rotation and Kaiser Normalization, and Chronbach’s alpha were performed to analyze the data.
Results: The preliminary questionnaire had two sections; section one had forty seven items, and section two had six items. After the Delphi rounds, the first section had only forty three items, however, there were no changes in the second section. Factor analysis of the first section resulted in seven factors. One item did not load on any of the components, and hence it was dropped from the questionnaire. Overall reliability was found to be 0.898 for Cronbach’s alpha.
Conclusions: The questionnaire MICE was developed with two sections, one focusing on overall curriculum and the other on outcomes. On validation, it was found that the questionnaire had acceptable levels of validity and reliability.

Authors: Hasan Md Mehedi , Tamanna Naima Ahmed , Jamal Mohammad Nasimul , Md Jamil Abu Naser , Uddin Md Jamal
Published: January 2023

Background: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a global viral pandemic that originated in East Asia (China) and is quickly spreading to every corner of the globe. In Bangladesh, no research has been conducted on olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 infected patients and its associated factors. We aimed to determine the correlation between olfactory dysfunction (OD), particularly anosmia and COVID-19 infected patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics.
Methods: We conducted a hospital based prospective observational study. We collected patients’ information, including laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 test results from a COVID dedicated hospital, Square Hospitals Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh. We used the Pearson Chi-square test and logistic regression model to assess the associations between demographic and clinical characteristics and OD (i.e. anosmia).
Results: Out of 600 COVID-19 positive patients, 38.7% were diagnosed with OD. We found that patients’ age, smoking status, cough, dyspnea, sore throat, asthenia, and nausea or vomiting were significantly associated with anosmia. We observed smoking patients were 1.73 times more likely to experience anosmia than non-smoking patients Odd ratio (OR)=1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.01-2.98]. Interestingly, our data showed that the risk of developing anosmia was greater in younger patients than in older patients, and this risk decreased as age increased (OR) range for different age groups: 1.26 to 1.08]. In addition, patients who complained of asthenia had a significantly double risk of developing anosmia [OR = 1.96, CI = 1.23-3.06].
Conclusions: Our study shows that 38.7% of patients diagnosed with OD. Patients’ age, smoking status, and asthenia are significantly positively associated with anosmia. Since anosmia can be a significant marker for the diagnosis of COVID-19, we suggest regular screening of OD in patients with early symptoms of COVID-19, particularly younger patients, smokers, and who complained of asthenia.

Published: January 2023

Studies on the development rate of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) suggested that the blowfly as a significant candidate for forensic investigations. Under natural ambient conditions development rate of C. megacephala in monsoon, winter and summer seasons indicated significant differences among seasons. The larvae began pupation at 92nd h in summer, 157th h in the monsoon season and 191st h in winter. Rapid larval growth in terms of length was observed in summer. During summer, the length of the larvae increased to a maximum of 13.9 mm at 54th h. Time taken for the emergence of the adult fly was 164, 249 and 311h in summer, monsoon and winter seasons respectively. Life table studies were conducted to assess the percentage survival and mortality by recording the survival rate of different development stages. Molecular diagnosis of species was done using COI gene. The analysis included molecular sequences of other samples of the same species from different regions of India. The neighborjoining method allowed us to identify the species at molecular level with precision and accuracy.

Humans place a high value on physical appearance. An attractive appearance can increase a person's self-confidence. Hairstyles are one of several ways to achieve an attractive appearance. This implies that there is always a demand for barbershops. However, some traditional barbershops, like Mr. Abdi, use outdated techniques like hanging flyers for haircut models that are no longer relevant in this era. This has an effect on the very low level of interest among young people who use services provided by roadside barbershops. The objective of this study is to create applications that have a way of delivering information that is interactive and different from other modern barbershops using augmented reality (AR), which will be used as a medium for visualizing hairstyles. In this study, the markerless tracking method is used to display three-dimensional objects in various types of fields. This application was developed with Unity and Vuforia because the development process can be done quickly. Based on the results, the overall quality of the software is 84%, so it is feasible for mass use.

AHMET ÜMİT’İN FOLKLOR ÜRÜNLERİNE BAKIŞI
Authors: DURMUŞ Ayşe , AKSOY Erol
Published: January 2023

Toplumların, tarihi süreçte ortaya koydukları maddi ve manevi unsurlar kültürel değerleri
oluşturur. Kültürün alt dallarından biri ise halk kültürü olarak adlandırılır. Halk kültürünün
içerisinde gelenekler, görenekler, inanış, giyim, mutfak gibi kültürel ögeler bulunur. Toplumların
kültürel kodlarını oluşturan bu unsurlar, canlılıklarını koruyarak kuşaklar arasında sözlü aktarım
yöntemiyle asırlardır varlıklarını devam ettirir. Sözlü aktarımın yanı sıra kültürel unsurlar,
toplumların yazılı eserlerinde de kullanılır. Böylece asırlardır sözlü şekilde devam ettirilen
kültürel unsurlar günümüzde eserler aracılığıyla yazılı şekilde devam ettirilir. Modern dönem
yazarlarından olan Ahmet Ümit’de, yetiştiği kültürel çevreden ve farklı amaçlarla gerçekleştirdiği
seyahatlerden gözlemleyerek edindiği birçok folklorik unsura eserlerinde yer vererek sözlü
kültürel unsurlarının yazılı şekilde aktarılmasını sağlayan yazarlardan biridir. Yazarın
eserlerinde folklorik unsurlara yer verilmesinin yanı sıra Masal Masal İçinde ve Olmayan Ülke
isimli eserleri baştan sona kadar anonim halk edebiyatı türlerinden olan masal türünün
motiflerini içermesi yönüyle önemlidir. Ninatta’nın Bileziği başlıklı destan metninde Hititler
zamanında gerçekleştirilen Kadeş Savaşı konu edilir. Bab-ı Esrar isimli roman ise tekketasavvuf edebiyatı unsurlarına daha fazla yer verilmesi yönüyle dikkat çeker. Yazarın
eserlerinde folklorik unsurlara bu kadar fazla yer verilmesinin nedeni Ahmet Ümit’in yetiştiği
sözlü kültür unsurlarını çok iyi benimsemiş olması ve bu unsurları okuyucularına eserleri
aracılığıyla aktarmak istemesidir. Bu makalede Ahmet Ümit’in folklor anlayışı değerlendirildikten
sonra yazarın eserlerinde yer alan folklorik unsurlar, Ahmet Edip Uysal ile Umay Günay’ın
folkloru oluşturan unsurlar tablosuna göre incelenecektir.

Sözlü kültür içerisinde önemli bir yere sahip olan atasözleri, kalıp ifadeler olarak
ezberlendiği için, bir düşünceyi ifade etmenin en kestirme yolu olarak kullanılır. Farklı kültürlerde
çeşitli biçimlerde hayat bulan bu sözlerin genel özelliği, uzun zaman tecrübe edilen ve kabul
gören düşüncelerin ve kanaatlerin aktarımıdır denebilir. Meider atasözünü, “Halkın hikmet,
hakikat, ahlak ve geleneksel görüşlerini mecazi, sabit ve ezberlenebilir bir biçimde nesilden
nesle aktardığı, bilinen kısa bir cümlesi” olarak tanımlar. Bu özelliğinden dolayı atasözleri,
herkes tarafından kolaylıkla benimsenir; sağduyu, hakikat, bilgelik ve deneyim içerdiği için de
klasik dönem divan şairleri şiirlerinin anlamsal yönünü güçlendirmek üzere çokça atasözlerine
başvurmuşlardır. Divan şairlerinin sözlerine anlam katmak için tercih ettikleri atasözünü
kullanma ya da şahit getirme geleneği tüm devirlerde varsa da özellikle XV. yy. itibarıyla fark
edilir düzeyde yoğunluk kazanmıştır denebilir. Bu cümleden Çağatay Türkçesinin baş ismi
sayılan Ali Şîr Nevâî, hem faklı kültürlerin kesişim noktası olan coğrafyada yaşaması hem de
kişisel özellik ve konumu gereği, birçok atasözünü şiirlerinde işletme imkânı bulmuştur.
Bu bağlamda, Ali Şir Nevai’nin Hazâinü’l-Meâni mecmuasının birinci yapıtı olan
Garâibü’s-Sıgar adlı divanında geçen atasözleri tespit edilerek incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın
başında kısa bir giriş yapıldıktan sonra eser hakkında özet bir bilgi verilerek, Garâibü’s-Sıgar’da
geçen atasözlerinin tespitine geçilmiş ve bölgedeki farklı kültürlerde bulunan benzer

The Roots of Romantic Topoi: A Local Intercultural Encounter and a Glocal Transcultural Experience
Authors: Ben Zid Mounir Al Jilani
Published: January 2023

Many critics have speculated on the influence of Western literature on English romantic poets. Mainstream scholars have often referred to Greek, Roman, and Western sources, attributing the genealogy of romantic topoi to the West, while turning a blind eye to the impact of non-Western culture. As a result, the influence of Arabic materials on English Romantic poetry during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries remains insufficiently recognized. The present study challenges the pervasive assumption that English Romantic poets were influenced mainly by the Western philosophical, religious, and literary sources. Instead, it provides evidence supporting the view that the roots of romantic topoi derive from both intercultural encounters and transcultural experiences. In particular, the role played by Oriental, Arab, and Muslim writers in helping English romantic poets develop their themes, characters, imagery, and narrative modes is discussed. Moreover, Arab-Islamic influences on Western literature is acknowledged to rectify the misconception that romantic topoi solely resulted from the Western intercultural encounters. The analyses presented in the paper demonstrate that Arabic and Islamic sources inspired British romantic poets like Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Keats, helping them not only in finding their own voices but also in developing their themes, metaphors, symbols, characters, and images.

Published: January 2023

Motivation is one of the most determining factors for the acquisition of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) with gender a key factor. This quantitative research focuses on gender, motivation, and EFL learning in Saudi Arabia. An adapted version of the Motivation and Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) was used in March 2021 at two Eastern Province public secondary schools. Data were collected from 169 students (aged 16–18). The final sample frame (N=100) comprised a quota sample of 50 males and 50 females. Descriptive analytics affirmed that overall motivation to learn EFL was quite high (female M = 4.06; male M = 3.79). Extrinsic and instrumental motivation prevailed overall with intrinsic and integrative motivation highest for female respondents. Gendered differences were not significant at p< .005 (Asymp. Sig. = .772). Recommendations include (a) research to address contradictory results (level/type of motivation and gender influence) and (b) the mediating effect of attitude and (c) focused efforts to ensure intrinsic motivation in EFL education.
Encountering the Foreign in Alice in Wonderland and its Arabic Translations
Authors:  Power Andrew J. , Albawab Eman Ibrahim , Muwafi Dana W.
Published: January 2023

This study examines Lewis Carroll’s Alice through the cultural glass of the Arabic translations of Alice in Wonderland by Amira Kiwan (2003), Shakir Nasr Al Deen (2012), Siham Bint Saniya (2013), and Nadia Al Kholy (2013), and of Through the Looking-Glass by Siham Bint Saniya (2013). It seeks to explore the engagement of several issues of language and meaning, and of foreignness and otherness, in both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass with the aid of a simultaneous examination of how key moments in the works are translated into Arabic. This exploration, in a cross-disciplinary study that combines both close-reading post-colonial literary analysis and Venuti’s identification of domestication and foreignization as strategies of translation, sheds light both on the original works or source texts (STs) and on the translations or target texts (TTs) that transmit them to their respective Egyptian, Jordanian, and Moroccan Arab readers. The Alice that emerges is a divided one, simultaneously both language learner and guardian of the rules of language, explorer-foreigner and imperialist, vulnerable child, and tyrannical queen. In the TTs there is also a split between literary sophistication and playful childhood nonsense, difficult post-colonial text and celebration of local childhood culture. Further, the TTs are treated by their translators as at once entertaining childhood adventure domesticated to local tastes and also as complex literary allegory whose political source-text is preserved and adjusted for a more sophisticated adult target audience.

From the Red Keep to Winterfell: Translating Toponyms in High Fantasy Literature from English into Arabic
Authors: Mizher Rabab , Mahadin Dana
Published: January 2023

: The recent popularity of the fantasy genre in the Arabic world has seen increased translation activity into Arabic (De Blasio 2019). Despite this interest, scholars have focused their attention on low fantasy, with little attention to high fantasy. This study investigates book five of George R.R Martin’s novel series “A Dance with Dragons (2011), and its Arabic translation   رقصة مع التنانين raqsa mc ?ltanani:n (2020) with a specific focus on Toponyms. The study uses textual analysis of the translation of book five of the novel series to determine the translation procedures used, and interviews with the official translator to understand the factors behind the translation choices in the series. The study adopts Aixelá’s 1996 model of culture-specific items (CSI) for the classification of the translation procedures. The results indicate the prevalence of two main translation procedures; conservation and substitution. The two procedures are used to strike a balance between the readability of the text, readers’ expectations, and maintaining the fantasy of the secondary world in which the narrative takes place.
Axiology of Russia’s Image in Mass Media Discourse in Coronavirus Pandemic
Authors: Shiryaeva Tatyana A. , Katermina Veronika V. , Golubovskaya Elena A. , Mekeko Nataliia M.
Published: January 2023

The current paper addresses the issue of axiological potential of mass media discursive texts generated during the coronavirus outbreak, namely those discussing and debating Russian vaccines. The study draws on discourse analysis and linguoaxiological analysis of media texts, which reveals the main ideological trends of informing the global community about the state of the Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine. The authors have determined that the trends revealed as a result of media discourse analysis concern such phenomena as ‘political agenda’, ‘safety issues’ and ‘compulsion to vaccinate / mistrust of government’. To share these axiologically charged ideas, speakers follow particular verbal practices, i.e., using emotive vocabulary, primarily evaluative word-combinations, axiological notions, metaphors, pejorative vocabulary, discursive markers etc. for manipulating the perception of the covered events. As a result, main constituents for the three key thematic fields are identified, extensively described, and structured through verbal representations of axiological notions. The results illustrate how mass media discourse can be used to investigate axiological notions delivered by the author. Besides, it can provide researchers with an instrument to identify the language means used to create either positive or negative media image.
TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF OBTAINING PEELED VENEER: THE INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS ON THE DEFROSTING AND WARMING UP OF WOOD
Authors: Razinkov Egor , Ishchenko Tatyana , Trofimov Sergey
Published: January 2023

To obtain high-quality peeled veneer, heating of wood is a mandatory technological operation. In winter, it is necessary to first thaw, and then warm up the wood to a certain temperature on the surface of the pencil. The operation of thawing and warming up is performed in open or closed water pools. One of the main factors of this technological operation is their duration. The available calculation formulas for employees of plywood enterprises are quite complex, since a number of values are selected from a large number of literary sources, and in the future, a number of parameters are calculated that determine the duration of thawing and heating of wood. In recent years, enterprises, in order to intensify the process of heating wood, are switching from open to closed pools. The results of the continuation of the TRP of wood in a closed water basin presented in the work will allow specialists to determine the desired time parameters without additional calculations. The results obtained showed that the determining factors for the duration of the TRP of wood in the production of plywood are not only the temperature of the air and the temperature of the water in the pool, but also the density of wood. Thus, for denser types of wood (birch, larch) used in the production of plywood, more time is required for thawing and heating. Moreover, the main heating of wood occurs at a pool water temperature of 60 °C, when thawing of wood occurs. After that, the duration of heating the wood to a temperature of 20 °C on the surface of the pencil is significantly reduced, especially at a pool water temperature of 80 °C.
Distracciones externas e internas del trabajador sanitario durante la jornada laboral: Revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Gaitán-Gómez Olga Lucía , Cardona Castañeda Jhonedifer , Erazo Gualteros Diana Marcela , Mamian Velasco Lina Marcela
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: Analizar la evidencia científica disponible sobre las distracciones externas e internas de la trabajadora y trabajador sanitario durante la jornada laboral. Metodología: Revisión bibliográfica en cinco bases de datos entre los años 2001 y 2021. Resultados principales: Se identificaron las distracciones externas (dispositivos electrónicos, contaminación acústica) e internas (ansiedad, necesidades fisiológicas) con mayor presencia en el entorno laboral que tienen como consecuencia errores en la ejecución de los procedimientos, retrasos en la prestación del servicio e influencia en el rendimiento laboral. Conclusión general: La evidencia científica que se encontró en este fenómeno fue escasa. Las distracciones externas más reportadas fueron el uso de dispositivos electrónicos y la contaminación acústica, mientras que las distracciones internas abarcaron aspectos emocionales y necesidades biológicas. Pocos estudios proponen estrategias para mitigar su impacto, razón por la cual se invita a unificarlas en una sola intervención y así potencializar su efecto.
La subjetividad como elemento para el cuidado de enfermería
Authors: Herrera Paredes José Manuel , Villagómez Tamayo Martha , Guerrero Castañeda Raúl Fernando
Published: January 2023

Para los profesionales de enfermería la planificación del cuidado es importante si se desean obtener resultados favorables para las personas que se atienden, es por ello que al momento de generar la planeación del cuidado se debe reflexionar sobre los aspectos subjetivos que le permiten a la persona visualizar el mundo y que resultan en la generación de acciones o comportamientos que favorecen o perjudican su salud, de lo contrario la eficacia de las intervenciones de cuidado podría ser de corto alcance o de poca duración. Esta situación es lo que ha motivado a crear esta breve consideración a lo que es la subjetividad y cómo es que constituye al ser humano como ser para poder entender sus implicaciones en los procesos de salud–enfermedad.
New light on old iron
Authors: Halkon Peter , Jinks-Fredrick Zechariah
Published: January 2023

Over the last decade, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of projects and discoveries relating to Iron Age iron in the UK. These include the discovery of one of the earliest smelting furnaces at Messingham, North Lincolnshire, an extensive industry along the Thames Valley and finds of iron objects including swords and spearheads within the graves of the Arras culture of Eastern Yorkshire, for example at Pocklington. There has also been an encouraging increase of the number of PhD theses being undertakenin UK universities on early iron objects and their production and deposition, including those supervised and examined by the writer. This contribution will consider the origins of iron production in Iron Age Britain and the relationship between iron production, its uses and the deposition of iron artefacts within the landscape in the light of these recent discoveries.
Slag-pit bloomery furnace of the Tarchalice type
Authors: Madera Paweł , Kik Dariusz , Suliga Ireneusz
Published: January 2023

The paper presents the results of the first stage of experimental research on reconstruction of the bloomery process in the slag-pit furnace of the Tarchalice type. The phenomenon of bloomery furnaces from the Przeworsk culture settlement in Tarchalice (Tarxdorf), Lower Silesia, Poland, has been known to the scientific community since 1903. With regard to ancient slag-pit furnaces discovered in the second half of the twentieth century in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains and Mazovia region, these features had two-times larger diameter of slag-pits and almost four-times greater weight of slag blocks. The large sizes of the slag-pits suggested dissimilarity of conditions of running the process, formation of iron bloom and block of slag in relation to quite well known from scientific experiments the bloomery process from the Świętokrzyskie Mountains.
Multi-phase microstructures in Anatolian Seljuks iron-steel objects: classification and production techniques
Authors: Güder Ümit , Taşan Cemal , Yavaş Alptekin
Published: January 2023

In this paper a collection of iron objects from the Anatolian Seljuks Period, ca. 12th–13th century AD, are analysed and discussed from a metallurgical perspective. A total number of 21 iron-steel objects, small knives and flat bodied (with thin cross-section) arrowheads was examined. These objects are coming from the Seljuks’ cultural layers of Eğirdir (Isparta, Central Anatolian Caravanserai), Kubad Abad (Konya, Central Anatolian Sultan’s Palace Complex), and Samsat (Adıyaman, Eastern Anatolian Fortress). In the samples which were taken from iron tools, composite-like structures formed by different ferrous phases were revealed by metallography, SEM-EDX and micro hardness examinations. These structures are classified according to the production materials and techniques. The first group revealed signs of continuous forging and, in some cases, bloomery iron folding, which can lead to such composite-like structures. The second group consisted of tools which were produced from different starting materials which were forge-welded before or during shaping process. The crucible steel knives can be classified as another group, in which the composite-like structure exhibits totally different constituents leading to more homogeneous mechanical character. In modern times, composite materials have gained importance and become key engineering materials due to their outstanding specific properties. This study reveals that skilled Seljuks’ blacksmiths made similar materials design choices in the production of iron or steel objects, despite limited materials and metallurgical knowledge.
