Authors: Latimer Christopher , Hempson Karen , Kendrick, Jr. Richard
Published: January 2022

This article presents the results of a deliberative poll in which members from the local community and college students from SUNY Cortland discussed the economic impact of Walmart on a small town. We review the literature concerning deliberative polling and describe the process of the deliberative polling event. Our examination of the data focuses on net changes in the participants’ opinions and gross changes in the participants’ opinions. We discuss the trends and implications of the opinion shifts and outline future research. The results illustrate that the process of deliberation affects changes in attitude items at both the individual and group level.
Broadening Perspectives: A Multidisciplinary Collaborative Teaching and Learning Experience
Authors: Plummer Carol , Buchanan Teresa , Kennedy C. Barrett , Rouse Lawrence , Pine John
Published: January 2022

Following in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and conducted when Hurricanes Gustav and Ike struck the coast of Louisiana, a unique service-learning course stretched the boundaries of students and faculty in new ways. First, students and faculty from five distinctive disciplines designed the course collaboratively, infusing different perspectives into every aspect of planning and teaching. Second, the content area—human impacts of disasters and disease—required students (future leaders who will one day make critical decisions in the midst of uncertainty and conflict) to grapple with major human tragedies. Third, the course objective—to encourage critical analysis—required students to examine multifaceted and complex issues as they considered the environmental, political, and social effects of disaster and disease. Finally, this course used a qualitative research project as its service component, and the partner was our own university. The goal of the project was to offer information that would help the administration plan for future disasters. Students directly experienced disaster-related challenges through planned assignments requiring critical analysis and a ropes challenge experience simulating a crisis environment. In the first few weeks of class, proving that in education as in life timing is everything, Hurricane Gustav severely damaged the community and simulation became reality. While this course, entitled Honors 2000: Critical Analysis and Social Responsibility: The Human Response to Disaster and Disease, is not precisely replicable because of unique hurricane occurrences, any team of faculty can replicate the collaboration, flexibility, responsiveness, and authenticity that characterized the experience.
Beyond Activity, Place, and Partner: How Publicly Engaged Scholarship Varies by Intensity of Activity and Degree of Engagement
Authors: Doberneck Diane , Glass Chris , Schweitzer John
Published: January 2022

Publicly engaged scholarship is often described by activity (e.g., service-learning; community-based, participatory research; public humanities), by place (e.g., rural communities, urban neighborhood), or by partner (e.g., non-governmental organization, school). These common descriptors—based on what faculty do, where they do it, and with whom they partner—fail to characterize how faculty members collaborate with community partners in engaged research, engaged teaching, and engaged service. This study explored whether two process-oriented constructs—level of activity and degree of engagement—were useful descriptors of how faculty members go about their scholarly collaborations with the public. Interpretive content analysis of 173 promotion and tenure forms revealed significant differences in intensity of activity and degree of engagement by gender, race, age, teaching assignment, joint departmental appointment, appointment length, Extension appointment, and discipline. These variations suggested new directions in professional development for community engagement and appointments/assignments supportive of faculty involvement in publicly engaged scholarship.
Dedication to Community Engagement: A Higher Education Conundrum?
Authors: Nicotera Nicole , Cutforth Nick , Fretz Eric , Thompson Sheila
Published: January 2022

Universities and colleges are increasingly providing internal grants to encourage faculty and staff involvement in community-based research and service-learning projects; however, little attention has been given to the impact of institutional support of these efforts. This qualitative study employed focus group interviews with 17 faculty and staff at one mid-size private research university (high activity) to explore the impact of institutional funding on their professional roles and practice of community engaged work. Findings revealed that community-based projects energized the participants, helped them make their academic work relevant in communities, created formal and informal university-community partnerships, and elevated the University’s public image. However, a conundrum was evident in the tension between the University’s public expression of the importance of community engagement and participants’ concerns that the traditional academic reward structure could jeopardize their long-term commitment to community work. A framework is offered that may assist institutions that are pondering or have already committed to using institutional dollars to support engaged scholarship.
Effects of Using Computer-Based Activities in Teaching English Speaking at a High School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Thi My Nhu
Published: January 2022

It is well-acknowledged that the English language is becoming widespread worldwide, and the application of computer technology in teaching and learning foreign languages in general and English, in particular, has shown significant changes. To improve English speaking skills for high school students, we designed and applied some computer-based activities (CBA) using computer technology. This research aimed to explore the effects of using such CBA in teaching English speaking at a high school in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The study was carried out with a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of 88 high school students were engaged as subjects in the form of experimental and control groups. The experimental group was given a treatment using CBA in their speaking sections for five months. A set of pre-test and post-test was conducted to assess the effectiveness of CBA on this experimental group in comparison with the control one who got no treatment with CBA. In the assessment, we employed the form of PET speaking and this international test's speaking rubric and a student questionnaire which helped to identify the experimental students' attitudes towards CBA. The results showed the positive effects of using CBA on students' speaking skills and significantly improving their communication problems after treatment. In addition, they were quite interested in using CBA, which is a great encouragement to recommend more use of CBA in teaching speaking to students in Vietnam's high schools and similar contexts.
Readiness for Online Learning: Learners’ Comfort and Self-Directed Learning Ability
Authors: Luu Thi Mai Vy
Published: January 2022

The need for transforming conventional learning to online learning among educational institutions during the coronavirus outbreak is inevitable. However, this shift comes with many challenges for both learners and teachers as they have become habitual to the traditional method for such a long time. Research has shown that one of the factors is found to be a valid predictor of successful completion of online coursework is students’ online learning readiness (OLR). Therefore, this paper reports the results of an investigation into students’ readiness for online learning in a private university in the South of Vietnam. Readiness for online learning self-evaluation survey with a 4-Likert scale was administered to 304 undergraduate students. The questionnaire highlighted two dimensions: learners’ comfort with e-learning and their self-directed online learning. Responses were coded and analyzed by SPSS to calculate the descriptive statistics and reliability. Data analysis revealed that the level of readiness of these students was only at a moderate level, which may account for their resistance to the adoption of online learning as a substitute for classroom-based learning amidst the disease crisis. Based on the findings of the study, some pedagogical implications are also discussed.

Published: January 2022

The future of strawberry propagation and sales is very positive, so an efficient mass propagation system for strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) was developed in this study. Strawberry leaf explants successfully induced green compact calli in semi-solid MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/l BA within 2 weeks. Subculture the calli in semi-solid MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l TDZ and 0.2 mg/l 2,4-D produced 3.8 microshoots per callus within 49-56 days. These leaf-derived calli with adventitious shoots were cultured with 0.1 mg/l GA_3 and shaken at 120 rpm. The number of shoots increased from 15.3 shoots to 43.6 shoots per culture (100 ml) within 2 weeks, but all were hyperhydric shoots. Hyperhydric shoots recovered to normal shoots within 1 month when cultured on semi-solid MS medium with 8 g/l agar. Shoots formed roots on semi-solid MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l IBA within 2 weeks. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized for 1 week before being transferred to the field at Bendito farm, where the strawberry plants were grown until maturity.
Establishment of In Vitro Cell Suspension Culture, Kinetics of Cell Growth, pH, Nutrient Uptake and Production of 2-hydroxy-4-Methoxybenzaldehyde from the Germinated Root of Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn. -An Endangered Plant
Authors: Kumar Mishra Vijay , Goswami Rachna , Teja Naidu Ravi
Published: January 2022

Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn. belongs to Asclepiadaceae family which is an ethno-pharmaceutically important monogenic plant species that is native to the Deccan peninsula forest areas of India. It is endangered due to habitat loss and over exploitation for volatile 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (HMB), which is an aromatic bioactive secondary metabolite. HMB is of great biological significance and is present in the plant’s tuberous roots. Plant cell culture is a viable alternative method for in vivo plant cultivation for secondary metabolites production. Callus induction with high biomass from the germinated root as explants for HMB production was optimised on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium containing 3% (w/v) sucrose, supplemented with 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 1 μM α- naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 10 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) in dark incubation. Cell suspension cultures were established in 250 ml shake flasks, and each flask contained 50 ml of the same induction medium. Moreover, the pH 5.8, 3% sugar concentration and 120 rpm agitation speed in dark condition were suitable for high biomass production and the specific growth rate (µ) was 0.086 /day. Extraction of HMB was done by steam condensate methods from the biomass of cell suspension culture. Qualitative and quantification analyses of HMB were performed with gas chromatography (GC) and observed that 0.92 ± 0.02 mg/ml (0.092%) HMB were synthesized in the cell suspension culture.
Sacred Myths (of Creation, Sacrifice, Nature and Geographical locations) and Social Realities
Authors: Mallik Dimitri
Published: January 2022

Sacred Myths are religious or quasi religious narratives that have the potential to influence and be influenced by Social Realities by virtue of being the substratum of social order, beliefs, customs, ritual Sacrifices, natural and geographical influences, specific Cosmogonies, etc., which are the integral elements in the structuring of the latter (Social Realities). Reinforcing each other, Sacred Myths and Social Realities work hand in hand to consolidate the cultural consciousness and identity and social behaviour of a community, which requires a careful, comprehensive, thematic and comparative scrutiny because of its immense anthropological, sociological and philosophical value. Keeping in mind the centrality of Creation Myths, myths codifying sacrificial rituals in a society and myths concerning nature and geographical locations in shaping the Social Realities and the way of living of communities, the paper aims to classify and critically analyze the relationship between Sacred Myths in relation to Creation, Sacrifices and Nature and Geographical Locations and Social Realities with eclectic exemplars across the world. In fact, the interconnectedness among these three distinct branches of Sacred Myths serve to show how entrenched they are in the social corporeity of Cultures across geographical boundaries, either individually or in conjunction to each other. Conceptually crafted, this paper concerns itself with only the social function and social value of the Sacred Myths concerning Creation, Sacrifices and Nature and Geographical Locations in influencing the Realities of the Society across generations, steering clear of debates regarding whether these Myths are historically true or false, whether the Sacred Myths of one region or culture are superior to that of the others, etc. The methodology used for the discussion is an Omnicomparativist approach, i.e., a method of studying that randomly selects isolated data samples from varied populations across the globe, veritably suited to the objective of the paper. Trying to understand Sacred Myths by considering the complex human position and agency in life itself, this paper favours and follows a multiversal approach in studying the specificities of cultures and religion of the populations studied, grouping them into thematic sections instead of the commonly pursued archetypal and stereotypical classification.
Changing Representation of Women in India Soap Operas Post New Economic Reforms
Authors: Tariq Muda
Published: January 2022

New economic reforms of 1991 led to the unprecedented growth of satellite television. With it, there was a change in the portrayal of women in television soap operas. A woman’s body was not just the site of violence, abuse, and othering, but it also became a locale for constructing modernity. The processes of globalization and modernization gave women greater opportunities and significantly challenged the existing patriarchal norms. The globalized media offered new role models and altered gender relations in society as women started entering the public sphere. However, it had its negative consequences owing to the increase in structural inequalities in the society and the portrayal of the modern ‘new Indian woman’ which did little to liberate women, fostering patriarchy. This paper aims to analyze the impact of liberalization on the representation of women in Indian TV soaps from 1990-2000 and the ways in which the popular television soaps disposed of the liberated characters of women and brought the traditional patriarchal and cultural values in the framework of global consumerism.

This paper goes to look at the impact of urbanisation on slums women. The phrase “subaltern urbanisation”, at one level, is probably, best seen as a literary device to focus attention on our space of enquiry, to extend the likelihood of discursive engagement, arguably in the tradition of another such phrase, viz, “global city”. This paper deals with the expertise of ladies and women living in slum communities in cities and domestic violence on these women particularly in Aligarh city. This study makes the project work all totally different from alternative as because the woman and girls share their personal struggles and experiences which they long faced, and still facing once they migrated from their native places to the slums of Aligarh, this shows the loopholes within the urban growth. However, this article is concerned with the limits of and alternatives of subaltern urbanism. Here, this analysis talks about the methodology of the work, realities behind the migration of woman and also the harsh realities they face in urban areas slums, which incident of violence against women and what attract women to the cities.” This report based on the research work which shows that how the women are subaltern in their families and the society simultaneously. First, I might wish to give thanks to those women who share their personal life experiences and I would also like to thank my friends who always being there with me during my survey and at the time of interview which helped me a lot in my task.

Published: January 2022

Risk perception is a primary motive to change a behavior, and the greater the perceived threat, the more likely an individual will change his/her behavior. Physicians and metabolic experts need to understand the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of obese and pre-obese individuals so that the factors that support an obesogenic environment can be addressed adequately. Non-Experimental Descriptive Design was taken for this Cross-sectional study. Random Sampling of 45 college-going students in the age group of 19 to 26 years old was done. Pretested and standardized questionnaires were used to collect data from the respondent, which was administered before and after the nutrition counseling session; thereafter the responses were collected and compared for differences. The study resulted in a significant change post nutrition counseling especially in terms of Knowledge and Attitude. It was concluded that more and more nutrition counseling sessions must be held among young people to deter the risk of development of NCD like Obesity.

The term “Subaltern” implies those groups of community whose voices become muted. The main concern of this paper is to analyze the most prevailing practices common among the different communities. This paper shows that discrimination, separateness, social hierarchy and practices of segregation is very much present in our society. This study deals with the prevailing practices of giving food and water in separate utensils to our maids.
Women in 19th century British literature: Roles and ideologies
Authors: Sultan Saadqa
Published: January 2022

This paper discusses the women of 19th century England. It also explores the different traditional roles of women and the ideologies of patriarchy. While discussing the works of different women writers of 19th century, the paper also focuses on the political and social issues of the Victorian Period. The nineteenth century was one of the most controversial periods in history. It was the age of change and revolution. There were many things happening in the society from industrialization to leap of faith. In this period there were many prominent writers who were working on digging out the evils of society, like Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, J.S Mill, and Charles Dickens. Jane Austen was a major woman writer of the 19th century. She portrayed the reality of the women of her times. There was assigned duties for women in those days. Women were not allowed to work outside the house. Either they stayed at home and indulged in the activities like cooking, cleaning and looking after the family, or they worked as governesses or companions to old ladies. Women, however, wanted to be self-sufficient. For this, they needed education and the right to participate in decision making. Many activists came forward to raise these questions. They also struggled for equality on political, social and economic grounds. This paper also highlights the efforts of the women philosophers and novelists who contributed to the struggle of women’s freedom.
Animal Husbandry and Hunting among the Siverians
Authors:   Institute of Archaeology, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Gorbanenko Serhiy , Zhuravlev Oleg
Published: January 2022

The aim of the study is to analyze the role of animal husbandry and hunting among the Siverians. The database is composed of osteological remains of mammals from 20 residential sites and products that characterize the importance of animal husbandry and hunting. The total number of the sites is 28. Thirteen of the twenty complexes involved in the analysis contain materials on animal husbandry, eight on hunting and 14 allow a complex analysis. Cattle predominated in animal husbandry, small cattle and pigs ranked second to third, horses were approximately 1/10. The age composition of the herd indicates a developed animal husbandry and a good forage base. The tools of animal husbandry confirm tender care and active life-saving use. Hunting depended on game and hunter skills. The most common prey were deer. Fur is represented mainly by fox. Probably some bone arrowheads represent fur hunting. We do not exclude the existence of the bear totem, as well as the importance of the beaver. The ratio of animal husbandry (reproductive form) and hunting (appropriative form) indicates the active use of the gifts of nature not because of the lack of meat from animal husbandry, but because of the rational use of food sources.

The DNA of 17 individuals of the 12th—15th centuries from the burial grounds of Teglitsa I and II, Ratchino I, Velikino was studied. There were identified Y-chromosomal haplogroups of 12 males, mitochondrial haplogroups of 12 males and females. In the genetic structure of the population of the Izhora plateau, the presence of three Y-chromosomal haplogroups, confined to certain sites, was identified. Individuals from Teglitsa I belong to haplogroup E1b1b1a1b (V13), from the Teglitsa II to R1a1a1b1a (Z282), individuals with haplogroup N1a1 (M46) have been identified in Velikino. In Ratchino I, three haplogroups were identified: N1a1 (M46), N1a1a1a1a (CTS2929), E1b1b1a1b (V13). Phylogenetic networks built on the basis of STR haplotypes of the Y chromosome for haplogroup N1a (M46) showed the genetic proximity of the medieval collectives from Ratchino I and Velikino to the modern populations of the Baltic-Finnish peoples. A surprise was the good representation in Teglitsa and Ratchino of the haplogroup E1b1b1a1b (V13), which has a predominantly Carpathian-Balkan distribution. The study of mitochondrial DNA showed a high diversity of female lines and the absence of their confinement to certain sites. Among the mt-DNA haplogroups of archaeological individuals of the Izhora plateau, there are Western Eurasian and Eastern Eurasian haplogroups, however, most haplogroups belong to Western Eurasian — H2a2a1, U5a, U5b, J1c, J1b1a, T2b, K1, and only two Eastern Eurasian — W6 and D4g2.

Perspektif Inklusif Pendidikan Agama Kristen terhadap Teks Kerja Pada Masyarakat Dawan di Nusa Tengara Timur
Authors: Iswanto Iswanto , Alexander Ferdinant
Published: January 2022

An inclusive perspective is conceptualized as the adaptation or internalization of the paradigm of a particular register into the intended concept. Christian education as a pedagogical concept is in a broad register, such as family, church and society. This study uses working text data on the Dawan community in an inclusive perspective on Christian education. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach. The results of the study explained that the working text of the Dawan community focused on the concept of monit naleko 'living well' as the main reference of the concept of 'work'. The inclusive perspective of Christian religious education is not necessarily adaptive to the reference. This non-adaptive emerges social interpretations and forms new concepts that are seen in attitudes and behavior. The novelty of research seen in the formulation of inclusive perspectives does not always refer to the adaptive renewal as previous research. Conceptual interactions can produce new concepts in social cognition. Strong internalization based on biblical interpretation must continue to be sought in the process of adaptive, inclusive perspective on Christian religious education. Key Words: inclusive perspective, Christian religious education, working texts.

Solidarity and Community: From the Politics of the Clan to Constituent Power

What is at stake in invoking solidarity in legal-political contexts? The guiding hypothesis of this article is that solidarity is always and necessarily linked to the concept of community. A plea for solidarity will, in other words, directly lead one to the question: solidarity with whom? On the one hand, solidarity may be understood as extending only to those who belong to the same community as us. In this reading, solidarity builds upon an already existing community and applies to members only. On the other hand, invoked by those who aim to question the status quo, solidarity also plays a key role in practices of contestation. In these contexts, it focuses on collective action and the reimagination of political community. The article ends by articulating how this second interpretation of solidarity might prove helpful in making sense of our current predicament of a global pandemic.

Welcoming the Other in a Pandemic Society

This contribution explores the meaning and scope of solidarity with the emergence of the coronavirus discourse as formulated by politicians in order to make sense of the virus. It offers a poststructuralist account drawing on discourse theory together with insights from Levinas and Derrida. This leads to a critical reflection on the prevailing view of solidarity as secondary and derivative to corona policies, because solidarity is often subjugated to hegemonic meanings of efficiency. Instead, the argument is made that solidarity refers to the unique responsibility to which the other as wholly other commands me. This appeal for responsibility, that is presented in the face of the other, is to be assumed in the distance between the rules and the singularity of the situation. Accordingly, solidarity is described as a paradox of dependence (calculability) and independence (beyond calculation), that appears in a moment of undecidability, for it can never be overcome.

Living with Others in Pandemics. The State’s Duty to Protect, Individual Responsibility and Solidarity

The article discusses a range of important normative questions raised by anti-COVID-19 measures and policies. Do governments have the right to impose such severe restrictions on individual freedom and furthermore do citizens have obligations vis-à-vis the state, others and themselves to accept such restrictions? I will argue that a democratic state may legitimately enforce publicly discussed, properly enacted and constitutionally tested laws and policies in order to protect its citizens from risks to life and limb. Even so, there is a natural limit, factual and normative, to what the state or a government can do in this respect. Citizens will also need to take it upon themselves not to harm and to protect others and in the context of a pandemic this means that endorsement of restrictions or other mandatory measures, notably vaccination, is not to be seen as a matter of personal preference concerning the supposedly inviolable sovereignty of one’s own body.

Solidarity, Religious Freedom and COVID-19: The Case of the Ultra-Orthodox Sects in Israel

The article discusses the tension between social solidarity and religious freedom as demonstrated by the refusal of the ultra-Orthodox sects in Israel to comply with COVID-19 regulations. The article provides a detailed description of the refusal to comply with the regulations restricting mass prayer services in synagogues and studying Torah in the yeshivas, thus interfering with the ultra-Orthodox religious life. The article suggests possible explanations for that refusal, based on either religious beliefs or a socio-political claim to autonomy, and discusses whether the polity should be willing to tolerate such a refusal on the basis of the cultural defence. The article concludes that despite the drastic restrictions on religious life caused by the social distancing regulations, and the special importance of freedom of religion, reducing the pandemic’s spread called for awarding priority to solidarity over religious freedom, and the enforcement of social solidarity legal duties – the social distancing regulations – on all.
Dividing the Beds: A Risk Community under ‘Code Black’?

Dividing the Beds: A Risk Community under ‘Code Black’?

During the COVID-19 crisis a risk of ‘code black’ emerged in the Netherlands. Doctors mentioned that in case of code black, very senior citizens might not receive intensive care treatment for COVID-19 due to shortages. Sociologist Ulrich Beck argued that palpable risks lead to the creation of new networks of solidarity. In this article this assumption is investigated by analyzing the different storylines prevalent in the public discussion about ‘code black’. Initially, storylines showing sympathy with the plight of the elderly came to the fore. However, storylines brought forward by medical organizations eventually dominated, giving them the opportunity to determine health care policy to a large extent. Their sway over policymaking led to a distribution scheme of vaccines that was favourable for medical personnel, but unfavourable for the elderly. The discursive process on code black taken as a whole displayed a struggle over favourable risk positions, instead of the formation of risk solidarity.
