Yoga Comes to American Physical Education: Josephine Rathbone and Corrective Physical Education
Authors: Vertinsky Patricia
Published: December 2022

Around the turn-of-the-twentieth-century yoga took on an American mantle, developing into India’s first “global brand” of physical culture. Physical educators became implicated in this transnational exchange adopting aspects of yoga into their programs and activities, though there has been an insufficient attempt to piece together the sum and pattern of their intersecting influences. This paper explores how adopted Eastern cultural practices such as yoga gained traction on American shores and entered the fabric of everyday and institutional life, including the curricula of higher education in the late nineteenth and early decades of the twentieth century. It then describes how American physical educator Josephine L. Rathbone came to draw inspiration and knowledge from Indian gurus about the yoga postures she would incorporate in the first and rather significant program of corrective physical education at Teachers College, Columbia University during the 1930s and 1940s. As an early pioneer of the evolution of Ling’s medical gymnastics into a therapeutic stream of physical activity which formed an important branch of physical education, Rathbone was instrumental in maintaining a critical link with physical therapy and medicine, facilitating transnational connections and networks while pushing open a door to mind-body practices from the east. Her project was a small but illuminating aspect of the shifting spaces of “bodies in contact” in cross-cultural encounters and complex imperial networks emerging from “modernities” in both East and West.
Taking Punishment Gladly: Bill Tilden’s Performances of the Unruly Male Body
Authors: Titman Nathan
Published: December 2022

Although historians have read the athleticism of seven-time national tennis champion Bill Tilden as a cover for his sexual identity, his playing style was very much a product of his existence outside normative gender expectations in the 1920s. Tennis allowed Tilden to engage in the homosocial amateur sporting code of upper-class Northeasterners—establishing psychological intimacy with playing partners, opponents, and protégés—while also adapting the more “roughneck” and varied techniques of working-class Californian players into a style that observers celebrated for both its power and its beauty. Tilden defied contemporary expectations that bourgeois white men should eventually limit their participation in leisure and settle down with marriage and stable capitalist production, while using athletic movement to bridge gender categories in the creation of his own “artistic” self-expression.
The "Bad Boys" of Tennis: Shifting Gender and Social Class Relations in the Era of Na˘stase, Connors, and McEnroe
Authors: Lake Robert J.
Published: December 2022

Tennis from the mid-1970s until the mid-1990s witnessed a global downturn in on-court manners. This was exemplified by players such as Ilie Năstase, Jimmy Connors, and John McEnroe, who built reputations on their "bad-boy" images by exhibiting lower levels of sportsmanship, honesty, courtesy to officials, and behavioral restraint; and concomitant higher levels of ostensible petulance, aggressive posturing, and disrespect toward opponents, umpires, and spectators than had been customary in the past. The aims of this article are to examine the extent that this phenomenon was the result of wider shifts in class and gender relations during this period, alongside the rise of consumerist, neoliberal, free-market philosophies in American and British societies. In short, the overall objective is to offer a partial explanation of this phenomenon by locating it in the broader social context of marked changes in society and tennis more specifically.

Authors: Yang Yixin , Zhou Zejiong
Published: December 2022

The deepening of the content of regional trade agreements has promoted the deep integration of global value chains. As an important part of the behind-the-border measures of regional trade agreements, competition policy provisions have an important impact on intermediate product trade. This paper constructs the depth index of competition policy provisions, uses the trade gravity model combined with Poisson's pseudo maximum likelihood estimation (PPML) and fixed effects to empirically analyze the impact of competition policy depth on the scale of intermediate product trade, and finally proposes policy recommendations for China to improve the construction level of regional trade agreements according to the conclusions.

Authors: Sunarso Sunarso , Bilyastuti Mai Puspadyna , Andayani Erni
Published: December 2022

Fenomena yang berkembang di Kota Ponorogo saat ini adalah masyarakat secara swadaya memasang polisi tidur (speed bump dan speed hump), padahal tindakan itu dilarang oleh Pemerintah Kabupaten. Larangan itu tertuang dalam Perda Kabupaten Ponorogo Nomor 5 Tahun 2011 tentang Ketertiban Umum dan Ketenteraman Masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian diskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, dokumentasi dan wawancara. Data yang telah terkumpul dilakukan analisa secara kualitatif dengan membandingkan teori evaluasi kebijakan menurut Charles O Jones, bahwa evaluasi kebijakan harus meliputi beberapa kegiatan, yaitu pengkhususan (spesification), pengukuran (measurement), analisis dan rekomendasi. Melalui penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa tujuan ketertiban umum dan ketenteraman masyarakat tidak tercapai karena dalam pelaksanaannya masyarakat tidak mematuhi larangan tersebut. Hal ini dapat diukur dari banyaknya pelanggaran masyarakat dalam memasang polisi tidur tanpa memberi tahu kepada Dinas Perhubungan. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa pemasangan polisi tidur oleh masyarakat adalah tindakan pragmatis untuk mencegah kecelakaan di kawasan pemukiman, oleh karena itu Negara harus hadir untuk mencegah pelanggaran-pelanggaran lainnya. Rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan oleh penelitian ini adalah mengganti kebijakan larangan dengan kebijakan regulasi atau pengaturan pemasangan, meningkatkan pemasangan rambu-rambu lalu lintas sampai ke jala-jalan lingkungan atau pemukiman, meningkatkan sosialisasi perilaku tertib lalu lintas, dan meningkatkan koordinasi antar instansi terkait.

Healthcare workers (HCWs) who are at the forefront of combating the COVID-19 pandemic have faced significant psychosocial challenges. In this context, this study aimed to investigate burnout, hopelessness, coronaphobia, psychological resilience levels, and associated risk factors among HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study that was conducted from March 15 to August 15, 2021. A total of 432 HCWs were included in the study who are working in a tertiary central pandemic hospital. The rate of HCWs diagnosed with COVID-19 was 29.4%. It was found that HCWs experienced high levels of burnout, hopelessness, and coronaphobia. HCWs who have a history of psychiatric disease and who are doctors were at higher risk for burnout. It is noteworthy that more than one-third of HCWs (37.4%) reported moderate to severe levels of hopelessness. The levels of psychological resilience were higher in doctors and nurses. There was a significant positive correlation between burnout, hopelessness, and coronaphobia, and a significant negative correlation between psychological resilience and these variables. In conclusion, multidisciplinary approaches are needed to support the mental health of HCWs, providing psycho-educations, building psychological resilience, and providing the required institutional and psychosocial support.

Published: December 2022

There is a relationship between low food intake and risk of death in patients with acute coronary syndrome. In this study aimed to examine the relationship between The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE risk score) and food intake.: 140 men over 35 years of age with Acute Coronary Syndrome were included in the study. The 1-day energy and nutrient consumption of individuals was determined using a 24-hour food consumption recording method. Based on the GRACE risk score classification system, the patients were divided into four quartiles (89.5≥Q1≥72, 102.5≥Q2≥89.5, 117.75≥Q3≥102.51, 152≥Q4≥117.76). The macro and micronutrient intakes of individuals were compared between the four groups. Nutrient intake decreased in the group with the highest grace risk score. inadequate nutrient intake further increased the GRACE risk score. A negative correlation was found between the GRACE risk score and macro and micronutrients (p<0.05). We found that the increase in the GRACE risk score decreased the food intake otherwise a low level of food intake increased the risk of death.

Authors: Gungor Merve , Baskiran Yusuf , Erol Onur
Published: December 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome characterized by irregular menstruation, high serum androgen levels and infertility in the reproductive period. New markers are being studied to facilitate diagnosis. Asprosin is a peptide that is synthesized during fasting and stimulates glucose production from the liver. High levels of asprosin have been found to be associated with obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim is to answer the question 'Can serum asprosin level be used as a marker in the initial diagnosis of PCOS in adolescents without any disease?'. A total of 65 people between the ages of 12-18 who applied to the Antalya Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic between June 2020 and January 2021 were included in the study. The group was divided into two as 38 patients newly diagnosed with PCOS and 27 healthy control groups without any pathology. When the asprosin level of the cases diagnosed with PCOS and the cases in the control group were compared, it was observed that the asprosin level of the cases with PCOS was significantly higher (p=0.004). This study was a study showing that serum asprosin level can be used in the diagnosis of PCOS. It should be supported by other studies.
Evaluation of a geospatial liquefaction model using land damage data from the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake
Authors: Lin Amelia , Wotherspoon Liam , Motha Jason
Published: December 2022

The paper uses two geospatial liquefaction models based on (1) global and (2) New Zealand specific variables such as Vs30, precipitation and water table depth to estimate liquefaction probability and spatial extent for the 2016 Kaikōura earthquake. Results are compared to observational data, indicating that the model based on global variables underestimates liquefaction manifestation in the Blenheim area due to the low resolution of the input datasets. Furthermore, a tendency for underprediction is evident in both models for sites located in areas with rapidly changing elevation (mountainous terrain), which is likely caused by the low resolution of the elevation-dependent variables Vs30 and water table depth leading to incorrect estimates. The New Zealand specific model appears to be less sensitive to this effect as the variables provide a higher resolution and a better representation of region specific characteristics. However, the results suggest that the modification might lead to an overestimation of liquefaction manifestation along rivers (e. g. Kaikōura). An adjustment of the model coefficients and / or the integration of other resources such as geotechnical methods can be considered to improve the model performance. The evaluation of the geospatial liquefaction models demonstrates the importance of high resolution input data and leads to the conclusion that the New Zealand specific model should be preferred over the original model due to better prediction performance. The findings provide an overall better understanding on the models’ applicability and potential as a tool to predict liquefaction manifestation for future hazard assessments.

India is a young, human-resources-rich nation. With regard to our country’s economic growth, India continues to lag behind due to various issues such as homelessness, unemployment, analphabetism, infrastructure for medical care, etc. Youth play a crucial role in the country’s economic growth. The Green Skill Development Programme (GSDP) of the Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change (MoEF & CC) is an environmental and forestry skills development initiative to encourage young people in India to procure employment and/or self-employment. The system aims to develop long-term workers who are technically skilled and committed to sustainability. In June 2017, the GSDP pilot project was launched. In the current situation, it has been discovered that the majority of young people being trained face a severe labor shortage due to a lack of skills and technical knowledge. Most of them do not know what is happening with today’s technology. Attempts to supply sustainability skills are made through the GSDP, which are also known as “green skills.” These are the skill sets, expertise, values, and attitudes that the workers need to develop and foster sustainable social, ecological, and economic conditions in business, industry, and the community. Such companies favor workers who possess green skills to achieve their mission. In this study, an effort is made to define the primary green skills sought by the green sector, determine how successful the GSDPs have been, and identify the foremost challenges experienced by the youth in participating in the government-sponsored GSDPs.

Arsenic is known to be one of the most significant and severe inorganic pollutants in drinkable water globally. Many important techniques have been read for better results, such as ion-exchange, flocculation, precipitation,  coagulation, adsorptions and other membrane technologies , when complying with the MCL (maximum contaminant level), Arsenic(V) around 10¼g / l in drinkable water) developed worldwide by the major World Health Organization, These available water treatment technologies are applicable; adsorption has proven to be a favorable and efficient technology for the removal of Arsenic from any form of water with dissimilar concentrations. In this analysis, Arsenic (As (V)) removal from water that studied by the packed bed column by modeling and simulation using iron ore adsorbent in the ASPEN ADSIM V11 software. The variousÂ effects on the efficiency of the adsorption column, such as bed height, feed-flow rate and the initial Arsenic concentrations of different operating parameters, were studied theoretically. Experiments were performed in specific cases to verify the results. Bed-depth greater then more Arsenic (v) are adsorbed and the Arsenic removal was achieved 100 % at a bed-height of 29.0 cm for simulation. The percentage of Arsenic removal, as well as the total adsorption of Arsenic increase with the decrease in flow rate, it is observed that when the bed height is increased the service time of adsorption bed also increases. The results showed that the design parameters such as adsorbent bed depth and column diameter, together with operating parameters such as Arsenic inlet concentration, have great effects on the overall column efficiency.
The nexus of religious populism and digital authoritarianism in Pakistan
Authors:   European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS), Ihsan Yilmaz , Saleem Raja Ali M.
Published: December 2022

Pakistan has a turbulent political history. In the seven decades since its creation, the country has faced four military-led dictatorships and another two decades under indirect military rule. Given this political trend, authoritarianism is not a novel phenomenon in the country. Digital authoritarianism, however, is a relatively new domain of oppression. This paper looks at how a political party in power and the “establishment” (military elite and its civilian collaborators) have been increasing the control of digital mediums as well as weaponizing space. This dual control and usage allow for growing digital authoritarianism. Using the case study of Imran Khan’s government (2018-2022) and its collaboration with the military establishment in enforcing digital authoritarianism, this article uses four levels of an assessment of internet governance in Pakistan (whole network level, sub-network level, proxy level, and user level). In addition, the role of Khan’s political party’s Islamist populist outlook in contributing to authoritarianism is also discussed. A lot of censorship happens around ideas of protecting Islam and Pakistan’s Muslim identity. The review also finds that the establishment uses not only religion but also ultra-nationalism and fears of foreign attacks, primarily by “Hindu” India, as means to closely surveil and curb the rights of citizens which it deems not worthy of trust. Our results find that Pakistan’s digital space is highly oppressive where ideas of religion, ontological insecurity, and nationalism are weaponized to legitimize the state’s growing authoritarianism.

Published: December 2022

SETTING: Twenty poultry farms in five provinces of Nepal were selected for studying bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns.OBJECTIVE: To document the proportion of cloacal swabs collected from 3,230 broiler and 3,230 layer chickens from
September to December 2021 that grew isolates of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp. and Salmonella spp. along with their AMR patterns.DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study.RESULTS: In broiler birds, Enterococcus spp., Salmonella
spp. and E. coli were identified in respectively 36%, 39% and 63% of swabs. In layer birds, Enterococcus spp., Salmonella spp. and E. coli were identified in respectively 31%, 48% and 60% of swabs. For both bird types, there was variation in bacterial prevalence
between the regions. For all three bacterial isolates, the lowest antimicrobial resistance was found with amikacin. For the other nine antibiotics tested, >50% of bacterial isolates showed resistance; between 60% and 90% of isolates showed resistance to ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole.
Multidrug resistance ranged from 45% to 46% for Salmonella spp., 37–44% for E. coli and 13–17% for Enterococcus spp.CONCLUSION: This study shows that a large proportion of poultry in Nepal are infected with potentially pathogenic bacteria, and these
are frequently resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Nepal urgently needs to implement corrective measures.

BACKGROUND: Zambia has an estimated TB incidence of 319/100,000 population and a HIV prevalence of 11.1%. In 2020, only 49% of new people living with HIV (PLHIV) received TB preventive therapy (TPT) in Zambia. Misconceptions about the reliability of symptom screening and drug
resistance among people who develop TB while on TPT are barriers to TPT scale-up. We determined the incidence and predictors of breakthrough TB during TPT among PLHIV in Zambia.METHOD: This was a retrospective analysis of routine TPT programme data among PLHIV collected between
October 2016 and October 2019 from select primary health facilities in Zambia.RESULTS: Of 48,581 PLHIV enrolled on TPT, 130 (0.3%) developed breakthrough TB during TPT. Of the 130, 90 client records were accessed. The median age of the breakthrough TB cases was 35 years; 68% were
males. Overall, 96% of the breakthrough TB cases had been on antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 3 months; 24% were symptomatic at the beginning of TPT, 22% were asymptomatic and others had missing data. Of the 130 breakthrough TB cases, 79% developed TB in the first month after TPT initiation.
The median time to TB diagnosis was 10 days (IQR 4–16).CONCLUSION: Breakthrough TB during TPT is rare among PHLIV on ART, and very rare after the first month of TPT initiation. It should therefore not be a barrier to TPT scale-up.

BACKGROUND: Knowledge about factors influencing access and adherence to TB care, and on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB care in resource-restricted settings is scarce. We conducted this study in Atsimo-Andrefana, a rural region in southern Madagascar where TB prevalence,
poverty and food insecurity rates are high. We aimed to determine facilitators and barriers to access to and provision of TB care in rural Madagascar during the COVID-19 pandemic.METHODS: We conducted qualitative focus group discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews (IDIs) with
patients with TB, community health workers, facility-based health workers, public health officials and non-governmental organisation staff. We analysed interviews using thematic analysis.RESULTS: We conducted 11 FGDs and 23 IDIs. We identified three main barriers to access and adherence
to TB care: 1) stigma, 2) indirect treatment costs, and 3) food insecurity. The facilitator perceived as most influential was high health worker motivation. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on TB care varied between stake-holders; some health workers described delays in TB diagnosis and
increased workload.CONCLUSIONS: To improve access and adherence to TB care, both indirect treatment costs and stigma need to be reduced; undernourished patients with TB should receive food support.
