Tackling Adverse COVID-19 Situation in India: A Perspective on Frontline Health-Care Workers
Authors: Bisai Ankan , Sengupta Debjani
Published: June 2023

Background:

As of December 17, 2021, India has been reporting a daily increase of over 7447 in fresh COVID-19 cases, total over 3.4 crore cases. Lack of knowledge and perceptions among health-care workers (HCWs) can pose challenges to disease control. HCWs are high-risk group for COVID-19; Adequate knowledge and COVID appropriate behavior can help prevent and contain the disease. Only early diagnosis and quarantine with proper management help to limit the COVID-19 transmission.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional study was carried for 30 days, from the September 16, 2020–October 15, 2020, in a block of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, with varying cumulative incidence of COVID-19 cases. A 36-item survey instrument on various domains was adapted for assessment of COVID-19 awareness.

Results:

The survey was conducted among 115 frontline HCWs engaged in screening and treating COVID-19 patients. Survey results indicated that majority have good knowledge about the disease, its symptom, testing, management guidelines but lack of knowledge found on mode of organ damage and home isolation advices. Addressing their perceptions and placing additional focus on practices across all health facilities is recommended as a preparedness measure.

Conclusions:

As the global threat of COVID-19 still continues to emerge, targeted interventions are required for HCWs, and further studies are warranted on field level HCWs.
Comparative Analysis of Electro-Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay and Rapid Immunochromatographic Test for Detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen
Authors: Shahid Mohammad , Sami Hiba , Khan Parvez Anwar , Sharma Sanjay , Singh Amritesh Kumar , Husaini Syed Haider M. , Khan Haris Manzoor
Published: June 2023

Background:

Electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and rapid immunochromatographic test (RICT) are currently commonly used for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Although a few studies have been performed to compare the efficiency of these three different serological assays, but there are still many grey areas where clear guidelines are required to give the reports as reactive or nonreactive.

Materials and Methods:

We compared three different methods of detecting HBsAg: RICT, ELISA and ECLIA. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the performance of these tests and evaluate the cut off index (COI) of ECLIA to be considered as positive. Some of the representative samples that showed a discrepancy between ELISA and ECLIA were confirmed by nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT).

Results:

A total of 3846 samples were included in the study, of which 259 (6.73%) were positive by ECLIA. Of these 259 samples, 68 were positive by both ECLIA and ELISA and had COI of >5 in ECLIA, whereas 191 were positive by ECLIA only (COI between 0.9 and 5). Hence, the concordance rates of the ECLIA and ELISA in detecting serum HBsAg was 26.25% while the same for ELISA and RICT was 31.57%. Four representative samples which were positive by ECLIA and ELISA (i.e., COI >5) were positive with NAAT. However, one sample which was negative by ELISA and positive by ECLIA (i.e., COI <5) was negative by NAAT. Cohen’s K showed moderate agreement between ELISA and RICT and fair agreement between ELISA and ECLIA.

Conclusions:

ECLIA seems a promising and sensitive test to detect HBsAg, however, we suggest, samples with COI between 1 and 5 should be reported cautiously and preferably be combined with NAAT or any other molecular method before considering as positive.
Towards a Better Understanding of Tarajem: Creating Topological Networks for Arabic biographical Dictionaries
Authors: Saadany Hadeel , Mohamed Emad , Sarwar Raheem
Published: June 2023

Biographical writing is one of the earliest and most extensive forms of Arabic literature. Some scholars tend to assume that classical Arabic biographies, widely known as Tarāǧim, arose in conjunction with the study of the reliability of the Hadith transmitters (the reciters of the Prophet Mohammad's sayings) which lead to a proliferation of biographical material collected and used to assess the transmitter's trustworthiness . However, a scrutiny of the well-known classical Arabic biographical dictionaries such as Siyaru 'A`lāmi an-Nubalā' `The Lives of the Noble Figures' for Adh-Dhahabī shows that they extend their entries to other classes of persons important to the development of particular fields such as Islamic jurisprudents, rulers, poets, philosophers or physicians. The main contribution of Arabic biographical dictionaries is the cumulative value of the thousands of life histories which construct a picture of the Islamic society in different eras. An Arabic biographical dictionary, therefore, is predominantly used by scholars to look up an eminent person's achievements and historical background. In this project, however, we explore Arabic biographies as a prosopography, rather than a biography in the strict sense. We introduce a novel method for a better understanding of Arabic biographical dictionaries by creating a network of relations among different persons. We utilise Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to create a topological network from the unstructured data of 45,500 biographical entries collected from different dictionaries. We aim to illustrate how network analysis leveraged by NLP tools can provide scholars with innovative methods for discovering complex constellation of relations between prominent and non-prominent figures spanning over several eras and from different fields of knowledge. We also use graph visualisation as a means to effectively communicate and explore such complex constellations. Each network visualisation is purposefully designed to be as simple and robust as possible to offer scholars a way to move relatively fluidly between the large scale of biographical entries and to easily interpret the minute ties between persons of different walks of life. We make both our data and code publicly available for researchers to replicate the experiment. It can be found at:https://github.com/sadanyh/Relational-Network-for-Arabic-Tarajem

Yapılan incelemeler doğrultusunda Anadolu Selçuklu mimari yapılarının en önemli parçası olan taç kapılar üzerinde yer alan motif, simge ve sembollerden yola çıkılarak yeni yüzey dekor tasarımları hazırlanmış, baskısı yapılmış ve analiz edilmiştir.
La masculinidad en Gigante (George Stevens, 1956): el hombre a través de la música de Dimitri Tiomkin
Authors: Pérez García Lucía
Published: June 2023

Pese a su carga dramática, Gigante (George Stevens, 1956) ha sido incluida desde el principio dentro del género wéstern. Dentro de los elementos que lo caracterizan como tal se encuentra la figura del hombre en sus múltiples facetas: vaquero, terrateniente, renegado, soldado, médico. Cada una de ellas es definida narrativa y visualmente a través de recursos propios de la disciplina cinematográfica, con más o menos apego a las convenciones del género. Pero ninguna de esas descripciones está completa sin la música, la cual termina de modelar cada detalle de la personalidad de los personajes, mostrando la verdadera realidad de las diferentes masculinidades existentes en pantalla y, de alguna forma, más allá de ella. Mediante el uso de herramientas específicas de análisis de música cinematográfica, complementadas con material de archivo, se describen y confrontan las diferentes formas de masculinidad propias del wéstern, demostrando la capacidad de la música y del compositor Dimitri Tiomkin para construir estereotipos que, en muchas ocasiones, sobrepasan el mito.

flujo de caja como determinante de la estructura financiera de las empresas españolas. Un análisis en tiempos de crisis
Authors: Rodríguez-Masero Natividad , López-Manjón Jesús D.
Published: June 2023

Este trabajo propone el uso de la variable Flujo de Caja Contable de la Explotación (FCE) como un factor con incidencia significativa en la estructura financiera de la empresa española en un periodo (2008-2012) caracterizado por dificultades para la financiacion empresarial. En la literatura previa son escasos los trabajos que tienen en cuenta esta variable, midiendo la liquidez en la mayoría de los casos con datos obtenidos del Balance y la Cuenta de Resultados y no del Estado de Flujos de Efectivo (EFE). Metodológicamente se usa un análisis multivariante con datos de panel aplicados a una muestra de grandes empresas españolas no cotizadas. Adicionalmente, este trabajo se inserta en el debate teórico existente en la literatura acerca de los factores determinantes de la estructura financiera de las empresas. Los resultados indican que un modelo basado en datos del EFE, principalmente el FCE tiene capacidad predictiva de dicha estructura financiera.

According to that, the purpose of the study is to use the factorial analysis technique to determine whether the financial ratios are related to a smaller number of unobservable factors and eliminate redundancy among them. The results show that it is possible to explain 88.753% of the variance with 13 financial ratios grouped into three factors.
Lessons Learnt by an Experienced Clinician-Novice Researcher Throughout the Process of Qualitative Research Interviewing
Authors: Lavis Heidi , van Vliet Paulette , Tavener Meredith
Published: June 2023

Within occupational therapy, the complex process of transitioning from clinician to clinician-researcher often presents challenges demanding critical contemplation. Methodological issues and ethical challenges can arise throughout the emergent transition into role duality, potentially impacting upon novice clinician-researcher development, influencing research processes and quality. As part of the Task-AT Home qualitative study, a reflexive critique of interview processes, guided by the reflection-on-action rubric and a typology of catalysts for dual-role experiences was conducted. The reflective critique identified commonalities and differences between clinical and research interviewing. Additionally, through three exemplars of experience, the critique provided insights into how clinical reasoning processes were used during interviews, influencing qualitative research processes. Having explored what can happen when an experienced clinician utilises clinical reasoning skills within a qualitative research project, skills and strategies have been identified, aiming to inform and support occupational therapists transitioning from clinician to clinician-researcher. Acknowledging the sometimes-imperfect realities of engaging in qualitative research, made visible by practicing reflection on action and sharing messy examples or occasions of personal conflict, can provide instructive moments for future clinicians looking to make the transition from clinician to clinician-researcher.
Thank You, Tony E. Adams, Stacy Holman Jones, and Carolyn Ellis, for Offering the Handbook of Autoethnography
Authors: Dahal Niroj
Published: June 2023

I offer this review on autoethnography for various social science disciplines for readers, writers, and novice and experienced researchers. The second edition of the Handbook of Autoethnography, edited by Tony E. Adams, Stacy Holman Jones, and Carolyn Ellis (2022b), includes contributions from more than 50 authors representing more than a dozen disciplines and writing from different parts of the world and published on year 2022. The book attempted to develop, enhance, and broaden qualitative research and autoethnographic inquiry. This review is based on the section on Doing Autoethnography, which provides examples of diverse, considerate, practical, innovative, and applied autoethnography. I tried to explore definitions of autoethnography, identify and illustrate key features of autoethnography, and engage the philosophical, relational, cultural, and ethical foundations of autoethnographic practice in addition to providing some information about the book. I recommend reading this book to gain more knowledge about “autoethnography” in general and “doing autoethnography” in particular.
MOTIV PRELjUBE U ROMANU „SEOSKA UČITELjICA“ SVETOLIKA RANKOVIĆA
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Katić Nataša
Published: June 2023

The subject of the paper is the motif of adultery in the novel Seoska učiteljica by Svetolik Ranković. Thematically and poetically, what all the works of Svetolik Ranković have in common is the description of the moral failure of the patriarchal community. The important themes of Svetolik Ranković’s work are the disintegration of patriarchal norms, the disintegration of the family and the conflict between the individual and society. They are also the most important thematic units in the novel Seoska učiteljica. Part of this article will cover the analysis of the characterization of Ljubica and Gojko as the main characters of this novel. This paper particularly looks at the inversion that Svetolik Ranković did when characterizing these characters, assigning to Ljubica those features that were considered dominantly male in the patriarchal society and vice versa. In this part of the work, it is concluded that their characteristics that are in reverse are most demonstrated by their relationship to children, authority and eroticism. One important aspect of this article is the analysis of the motif of adul- tery in the novel Seoska učiteljica. This paper shows how this motif is linked to the poetic principles of Svetolik Ranković. It was concluded that in this novel the motif of adultery is a manifestation of the moral decline of society. Through the analysis of the motive of adultery and the position of the woman in this novel, Svetolik Ranković turns out to be a writer with an extremely modern sensibility.

Published: June 2023

In this paper, we will attempt to observe the changes that happened to the city during one century, using the images that have been left by Simo Matavulj and Mihajlo Pantić. Analyzing the verve of the heroes, with a specific emphasis on their actions, we will show the phenomena which have affected the consciousness of the people as a result of the evolution of the city. Using theoretic texts about the city, its characteristics and metamorphoses through history, we will show how a human in a city from the beginning of the 20th century is an active participant in its development, and the one from the end of the century is a passive and often depressed observer.
DIVINE VIOLENCE AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS IN CHUCK PALAHNIUK’S „FIGHT CLUB“
Authors:   University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, Petrović Nikola
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with Walter Benjamin’s concept of divine violence and its manifestations in Chuck Palahniuk’s novel Fight Club. In the introductory part of the paper, we focus on various thinkers’ writings on divine violence. We start with Benjamin’s original conception, and then connect it to Peg Birmingham’s understanding of Hannah Arendt’s power and its relationship to divine violence, as well as Slavoj Žižek’s interpretation of divine violence. After that, we formulate a comprehensive definition of divine violence. In the next part, we focus on various instances of divine violence in Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club. We analyse the novel and decide whether or not, and to what degree the committed acts of violence, as well as other behaviours of characters, meet the criteria for divine violence.
METODIČKI MODELI TUMAČENjA LIRSKE PESME U MLAĐIM RAZREDIMA OSNOVNE ŠKOLE
Authors: Milošević Ljubić Suzana
Published: June 2023

The aim of this paper is a methodological approach to lyrical poems in classroom teaching with special emphasis on the place and role of students in its interpretation. This paper covers the methodological interpretation of lyrical poems through theoretical approach to lyrical poems, conceptual definition, division and characteristics of lyrical poems. The appearance of lyrical poems, both folk and authorial, shows the basic divisions and characteristics of the lyrical poem itself, as well as the characteristics of lyrical poetry. It includes the reception of a lyrical poem in teaching, the methodological approach to the interpretation of a lyrical poem through certain models of interpretation in teaching, where the goals and structure of the lyrical poem class are connected, the possible structure of the processing class of this literary type, and the examples of lyrical poems in classes from the first to the fourth grade, as well as a modern ap- proach to interpretation using selected models. A large number of lyrical poems are represented in Serbian language teaching, both folk and authorial. The peculiarity of lyrical poems among younger students is the development of love for the book, the experience of the poem, its interpretation, familiarization with former customs, highlighting the author’s observations, experi- ences and their transfer to students, encouraging them to start writing themselves and other important elements for the overall development of students. The interpretation of the lyrical poem is possible with different methodological models. Students find it more accessible and interesting to process lyrical songs by applying individualized teaching, problem teaching, integrative approach or process- ing through playful activities.
STRAH KAO POKRETAČKA TEMA U ODABRANIM ANDRIĆEVIM PRIPOVETKAMA („KNjIGA“ I „ASKA I VUK“)
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Mladenović Šana S.
Published: June 2023

/ Researching fear as a driving subject in short stories “The Book” and “Aska and the Wolf” by Ivo Andrić, we observed the phenomenon of fear from the literary-artistic and psychological perspectives, its mechanisms, constructive and destructive performance, as well as the ways it could be overcome by bravery, broader view of reality, creative expression and constructiveness. We particularly relied on the philosophical premises of Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard and Vladeta Jerotić’s paper On Fear as well. The selected short stories by Andrić best present different variations of behavior of an individual when facing fear, ranging from being overwhelmed with fear, as the boy from the short story The Book is, to the creative and active state, illustrated by Aska’s “dance for life”, which allowed us to use a comparative method in studying the described phenomenon as well.
IRONIJA I PARODIJA U DELU „ISKUPLjENjE“ IJANA MEKJUANA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Lazić Katarina
Published: June 2023

The paper has primarily dealt with the concept of irony and parody in Ian McEwan’s novel Atonement and how the author made use of them. The theoretical frame hereby employed includes the following works: Linda Hutcheon’s Irony’s edge and A theory of parody and Dragan Stojanović’s Irony and meaning. Taking everything into account, the writing of Ian McEwan has represented a very fertile ground for the analysis from the perspective of irony and parody. Having in mind the nature and the extent of this work, only a limited number of examples has been employed, the fact that leaves room for some more thorough and comprehensive analysis.
