Personality and mental health factors associated with performance at university level
Authors: Rath Namita , Kar Shreyan , Kar Nilamadhab
Published: November 2021

Background:

Performance of students at university level may be influenced by various factors.

Aim:

In a sample of business administration students, we explored personality, mental health, and life style factors associated with high and low achievers based on their examination grades (Grade A and higher vs. Grade B and lower).

Methods:

We studied personality factors using big five inventory (BFI)-10, anxiety through generalized anxiety disorder-7 screening scale, and depression by patient health questionnaire-9 scale. In open-ended questionnaires, stress, relationship, and drug uses were enquired about.

Results:

Considerable proportions of students had anxiety (33%) and depression (41%) at moderate-to-severe level; however, they were not different in the two groups. Higher examination grades were associated significantly with higher scores on conscientiousness factor of BFI-10 and female gender. There was no difference in self-reported stress or substance use between the two groups.

Conclusions:

While conscientiousness was associated with better performance, mental health factors were comparable between higher and lower grades in examination. The results highlight the need for further research on personality and modifiable factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression and to evaluate effectiveness of interventional approaches on academic performance.

Published: November 2021

Free-range chickens play a vital role in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis because they feed on the ground, exposing them to infective oocysts shed by cats that contaminate the environment. The role of chickens in the epidemiology of toxoplasmosis in Nigeria is understudied. Therefore, in the present study, we surveyed 222 free-range chickens slaughtered for human consumption in Kaduna metropolis, Nigeria, for the presence of anti-T. gondii antibodies using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). Of the total birds sampled, 27.9% (62/222) were seropositive. Results showed no statistically significant association between seroprevalence and sex (p > 0.05). The study has demonstrated the presence of anti-T. gondii antibodies in free-range chickens in Kaduna, Nigeria, indicative of exposure of the sampled chickens to T. gondii oocysts. Proper cooking of poultry meat obtained from the study location is advocated to avoid exposure to T. gondii.

Published: November 2021

The therapeutic utilization of plants for managing several diseases by people of all continents, especially Africa, is as old as tradition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potentials of aqueous ethanolic leaf extract of Psidium guajava on male reproductive parameters. Twenty-four male Albino rats were randomly assigned into four groups of six rats per group. Rats in the control group were administered Tween 20®. Rats in groups 2, 3, and 4 were administered Psidium guajava aqueous ethanolic leaf extract orally at the doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight, respectively, once daily for 60 days. The body weights of the rats were determined at the beginning and end of the experiment. Sperm parameters and some reproductive organs weight of each rat was also determined, some organs were collected for histopathology. Assay for follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone was done using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent methods. Some reproductive organs were collected for histopathological analyses. The results showed a dose-dependent increase (p<0.05) in the weight of male reproductive organs, sperm parameters, and hormones. The extract significantly increased (P < 0.05) serum testosterone in the group treated 400 mg/kg body weight when treated groups were compared with control. Furthermore, the results of FSH and LH revealed a significant (p < 0.05) increase when the treated groups were compared with the control. The histopathological analysis did not reveal any form of damage to the architectural integrity of the testis. However, there was degenerating germinal epithelium in the group administered 400 mg/kg of the aqueous ethanolic leaf extract of P. guajava. Conclusion: aqueous ethanolic extract of P. guajava has positive effects on male reproductive parameters.

Published: November 2021

The study evaluated the prevalence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in dogs in Delta State, Nigeria. For ten years, data of cases presented to Veterinary Clinics in five government clinics in Delta state were evaluated and analysed. The breed of dog, sex, age on presentation, the limb affected and the radiographic appearance of the lesions on presentation were reviewed. The treatment and clinical management approaches were also reviewed and discussed. Of the cases of avascular necrosis of the femoral head recorded (N = 24) for the period under review, breed prevalence recorded 62.5% (Alsatians); 16.67% (Caucasians) and 20.83% (Mixed Breeds). Sex prevalence recorded 79.17% females and 20.83% males. According to age at the time of the first presentation, 83.83% of the affected dogs were 6-12month old, 12.5% were 13-24month old, and 4.16% were 25–36 month-old. Lameness was observed in 91.67%, while 8.33% of cases presented non-weight bearing lameness. Pain in the limbs during palpation of the hip joint was detected in 100% of the cases. Atrophy in the hind limb was identified in 41.66% of the patients, while 62.5% of the dogs showed different degrees of medial patellar luxation. In 91.6% of cases, the disease was unilateral, with 63.63% unilateral lesions in the right hind limb and 36.37% in the left hind limb. The study results showed a high prevalence of avascular necrosis of the femoral head in large breeds of dogs in the Delta state. The management of the disease is mainly conservative with poor follow-up. Cost of surgery and management may discourage owners from follow up. However, surgery remains the gold stand of care for managing avascular necrosis of the femoral head in dogs.

Racionalidad individual, legitimidad política, y factores socioeconómicos en Guatemala
Authors: Duarte Madrid José Ernesto Javier
Published: November 2021

El capítulo tiene como objetivo explicar desde la racionalidad individual la correlación entre la variable factores socioeconómicos y legitimidad política en Guatemala, período 2019, para ello, se apoya en el método cuantitativo y toma como referencia el estudio de cultura política de los guatemaltecos realizado por El Proyecto de Opinión Pública de América Latina (LAPOP), que consiste en una muestra aleatoria estratificada de 1,596 encuestas, hechas a lo largo del país. Entre los resultados obtenidos se puede destacar que los individuos de menor edad, menos años de escolaridad, con un fuerte arraigó religioso, así como los de menor ingreso apoyan el sistema político en su conjunto, no obstante, rechazan el accionar particular de las instituciones políticas. Esa contradicción llevó a plantear la siguiente 196Ser, conocer y hacer: Una aproximación científica a la realidad socialinterrogante ¿por qué los ciudadanos se aferran a sistemas políticos ineficientes?, así, la respuesta se encontró en cuatro paradojas, de la información y la irracionalidad racional, paradoja fatalista, paradoja benevolente, y; paradoja de la intolerancia. Bajo estos elementos se dedujo que los sistemas políticos democráticos tienen una imposibilidad parcial para satisfacer las preferencias de todos los individuos en una sola función de utilidad, generándose así un cíclico descontento ciudadano, en cierta forma análogo al teorema de Arrow.

Introduction. Chromium (VI) is a common component of emissions from woodworking enterprises and an extremely dangerous polytropic toxic chemical substance that has a sensitizing, mutagenic and carcinogenic effect. The aim of the study was to assess disorders of critical organs and systems in children with an increased chromium content in the blood. Materials and methods. The content of chromium in the blood was investigated, the values of clinical and biochemical parameters were estimated, the statistical processing of the data was carried out using the Statistica 10 program. Results. The level of chromium in the blood of children from the observation group was 2.4 times higher than in the control group. In children with an increased concentration of chromium in the blood, compared with children in the control group, a significant increase in IgE of total, eosinophilic-lymphocytic index, total and direct bilirubin, low-density lipoprotein, α-amylase and LDH was found to be 1.2-3.1 times. TSH, and a 1.2-fold lowering of HDL cholesterol. Significant relationships were obtained between an increased concentration of chromium in the blood and an increased level of IgE total, eosinophilic-lymphocytic index, α-amylase and TSH (R2 = 0.20-0.31, p <0.05), lowered HDL cholesterol (R2 = 0.89; p <0.05). The dependence of the frequency of occurrence of allergic rhinitis, cardiomyopathy and diseases of the biliary tract (R2 = 0.20-0.96; p <0.05) on the increased level of chromium in the blood was established. Conclusion. It is advisable to use the obtained biomarkers of adverse effects to increase the efficiency and form medical and prophylactic programs to reduce the level of chromium in the blood and prevent the negative consequences of its impact on the population.

THE CITY OF SAMARRA UNDER THE ABBASID STATE, A BRIGHT HISTORY AND IMMORTAL RELICS
Authors: Abd AL BARY Fatn
Published: November 2021

My research was marked (The city of Samarra under the Abbasid state, a bright history and immortal relics). The city of Samarra is considered one of the archaeological historical sites in Iraq. This city - with the testimony of ancient and modern sources, and the immortality of a number of its lofty monuments - played a dangerous role in the political and urban fields - throughout the era that I stayed there as the capital of the Abbasid state. Eight of the Abbasid caliphs settled in it, and its mother was scholars and writers. Every craftsman and artist differed in it, and it became - rightly - the first Abbasid city in various aspects of life. Which prompted me to choose this topic and write about it, because of my feeling and my feeling that this city has neglected its right, and has not prepared for it what it should have of study and investigation. I specify my studies either in the history of the city or its antiquities, but after reading it became clear to me that history is the immortalized antiquities, so this topic stopped me to research it. The basic structure of this research consisted of two sections preceded by an introduction and a preface and followed by a conclusion. The first topic came under the title (Samarra in the shadow of the Abbasid state), this research dealt with Samarra in the shadow of the Abbasid caliphs, showing the role of each caliph in this city. Part of its ruins are still tilted until today and the other part has been subjected to destruction and extinction, and then I ended the research with a conclusion in which I showed the most important findings of the research, including its adoption of the largest Islamic empire for half a century, that this city has a clear personality in the urban and historical fields, and it is the Islamic city Which was replete with many palaces and luxurious buildings in that era, it was able to occupy an important center for the duration of its stay as the capital of the Abbasids. And after I ask God Almighty that I have succeeded in presenting this topic in a satisfactory manner, for perfection is for God Almighty and from Him we derive help and success‎‎.

Türk müziğinin tarihsel sürecine bakıldığında müziğin öğrenimi ve aktarımı bakımından kullanılan yöntemlerin başında meşk sistemi gelmektedir. Usta olarak adlandırılan kişinin bilgi, beceri ve tecrübesi dahilinde eser icrası ile gerçekleştirilen bu yöntem neticesinde çırak olarak adlandırılan kişi Türk müziği üslubu, eserin ait olduğu makamın yapısı, makamı oluşturan unsurları (seyir, geçki vb.) ve Türk müziği usûlleri hakkında bilgi edinir. Zaman içerisinde meydana gelen eserlerin asıl yapısının değişime uğraması yahut tamamen unutulması, öğrenim süreci içerisinde teknik beceri kazanımına yönelik bir çalışmaya yer verilmemesi bu eğitim sisteminin en önemli eksiklikleri olarak görülmektedir. Keman icrasında entonasyonun gerektiği gibi olması, doğru bir ton elde edinimi, sağ ve sol el koordinasyonu, yay hâkimiyeti ve konum değişiklikleri becerisinin kazanımı oldukça önemli olmakla beraber teknik çalışmalar gerektiren konulardır. Bu bakımdan Türk müziği keman eğitimine yönelik mevcut kaynaklara bakıldığında materyal sayısının oldukça az olduğu görülmektedir. Türk müziği tarihi içerisinde bestelemiş olduğu eserleriyle yaşamış olduğu döneme damgasını vuran ve eserlerinin öğretim materyali olarak kullanıldığı birçok bestekâr bulunmaktadır. 20. yy. içerisindeki öne çıkan en önemli isimlerden biri de Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’dur (1938-2000). Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’un terkîb etmiş olduğu makamlardan biri olan Şedd-i Sabâ makamıyla ilgili bir çalışmanın bulunmaması, ilgili makamın daha iyi anlaşılması için Şedd-i Sabâ makamında bestelemiş olduğu eserlerin ayrıntılı bir biçimde tahlil edilmesi gerekliliği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’un terkîb etmiş olduğu Şedd-i Sabâ makamının tahlili ve bu doğrultuda Türk müziği keman eğitimine yönelik teknik beceri kazandıracak/arttıracak Şedd-i Sabâ etüdün oluşturulması amacıyla nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır.

Published: November 2021

A busca por praticidade na alimentação aliada ao ambiente obesogênico construído pela indústria alimentícia causa desequilíbrios nos sistemas de marketing e pode acarretar problemas de obesidade em parcela significativa da população. Consequentemente, prejudicam a saúde física e psicológica individual, evoluindo para transtornos mais graves e tornando-se um problema de saúde pública. Nas relações de consumo, os efeitos da ingestão de produtos industrializados ainda são desconhecidos por boa parte dos consumidores e a falta de conhecimento ou controle pelos consumidores provoca a sua vulnerabilidade, desequilibrando o sistema de marketing. Essa condição de vulnerabilidade é potencializada pela omissão ou falsemaneto da composição dos alimentos nas embalagens, por exemplo, aliada a outras externalidades dos sistemas de marketing. A partir disso, a pesquisa transformativa do consumidor apresenta soluções, como a educação do consumidor, para a minimização de suas vulnerabilidades. O consumidor obeso é vulnerável, pois nem sempre tem conhecimento ou controle sobre os alimentos que consome, além de possuir características biofísicas que podem gerar hostilidade nas relações de consumo. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente artigo é discutir como se dá a vulnerabilidade dos consumidores obesos ou com sobrepeso a partir do consumo alimentar. Além de contribuir para uma visão interdisciplinar da obesidade, o aritog apresenta uma nova lente de análise, a perspectiva da pesquisa transformativa do consumidor, para visualização de um problema que, ao mesmo tempo que é individual, tem impactos sociais, políticos e econômicos.

Published: November 2021

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la información sobre el escenario actual de la práctica docente en la educación superior brasileña, tomando en cuenta el proceso de compromiso de sus docentes a través de la dimensión emocional y social, relacionándolo con las metodologías activas. El método de investigación seleccionado fue el estudio de caso y, en esta propuesta, los docentes analizados tienen una característica específica que los destaca, que es el uso de metodologías activas en sus prácticas docentes. Por lo tanto, optamos por comparar dichos profesores en dos redes educativas: privada y pública. El método de investigación utilizado es el estudio de caso. Notamos que los profesores esas escuelas públicas y privadas no se distancian mucho en sus puntos de vista y percepciones del compromiso social, pero ambos tienen dificultades para afrontarlo. Incluso los docentes que utilizan metodologías activas en el aula se ven afectados por esta dimensión, ya que da a conocer el papel que juega cada agente (docente y alumno) dentro del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se nos hizo evidente que, sin una buena relación con los estudiantes, el involucramiento del docente no ocurre, aunque esté permeado por las metodologías activas, que tienen como uno de sus objetivos involucrar a estudiantes y docentes en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Por lo tanto, es importante comprender las actitudes personales de los estudiantes, para que puedan socializar fácilmente con el profesor. La empatía de los profesores con los estudiantes también puede motivar a los profesores a buscar nuevas metodologías de enseñanza.

Abstract. The formation of iron- and/or manganese-rich dark patinas on sandstones is a common natural phenomenon that occurs also on building stones. Lunéville château, in eastern France, presents such patinas that developed either under natural conditions (rain and time) or after an accidental fire and exposure to significant amounts of water as part of attempts to extinguish the fire. The present study aimed at characterizing both types of patinas in an effort to determine their formation mechanisms and Mn sources. In both cases, Mn required for patina formation likely derives from the reductive dissolution of Mn-rich minerals present in pristine sandstones, as suggested by the contrasting mineralogy and chemistry of Mn-rich phases present in the bulk and in the patina of a given building block. Reduced Mn species then migrate to the exposed surface of building blocks where they are re-oxidized via undetermined processes. Patinas developing “naturally” over time result from the alternation of wetting-reducing and drying-oxidizing cycles and appear to be composed of birnessite. Patinas formed after the 2003 fire result from this single accidental event and form a much thinner, heterogeneous, and discontinuous layer of poorly crystalline lithiophorite at the sandstone surface (∼ 0–150 µm compared to ∼ 300–600 µm for “natural” patinas). The lack of Mn-rich patinas on areas of Lunéville château is likely related to the lower Mn content of pristine sandstone blocks.
An update on techniques to assess normal-mode behavior of rock arches by ambient vibrations

Abstract. Natural rock arches are rare and beautiful geologic landforms with important cultural value. As such, their management requires periodic assessment of structural integrity to understand environmental and anthropogenic influences on arch stability. Measurements of passive seismic vibrations represent a rapid and non-invasive technique to describe the dynamic properties of natural arches, including resonant frequencies, modal damping ratios, and mode shapes, which can be monitored over time for structural health assessment. However, commonly applied spectral analysis tools are often limited in their ability to resolve characteristics of closely spaced or complex higher-order modes. Therefore, we investigate two techniques well-established in the field of civil engineering through application to a set of natural arches previously characterized using polarization analysis and spectral peak-picking techniques. Results from enhanced frequency domain decomposition and parametric covariance-driven stochastic subspace identification modal analyses showed generally good agreement with spectral peak-picking and frequency-dependent polarization
analyses. However, we show that these advanced techniques offer the capability to resolve closely spaced modes including their corresponding modal damping ratios. In addition, due to preservation of phase information, enhanced frequency domain decomposition allows for direct and convenient three-dimensional visualization of mode shapes. These techniques provide detailed characterization of dynamic parameters, which can be monitored to detect structural changes indicating damage and failure, and in addition have the potential to improve numerical models used for arch stability assessment. Results of our study encourage broad adoption and application of these advanced modal analysis techniques for dynamic analysis of a wide range of geological features.
A cryogen-free, semi-automated apparatus for bullet-dynamic nuclear polarization with improved resolution

Abstract. In dissolution-dynamic nuclear polarization, a hyperpolarized solid is dissolved with a jet of hot solvent. The solution is then transferred to a secondary magnet, where spectra can be recorded with improved sensitivity.
In bullet-dynamic nuclear polarization this order is reversed. Pressurized gas is used to rapidly transfer the hyperpolarized solid to the secondary magnet, and the hyperpolarized solid is dissolved only upon arrival. A potential advantage of this approach is that it may avoid excessive dilution and the associated signal loss, in particular for small sample quantities. Previously, we have shown that liquid-state NMR spectra with polarization levels of up to 30 % may be recorded within less than 1 s after the departure of the hyperpolarized solid from the polarizing magnet. The resolution of the recorded spectra however was limited. The system consumed significant amounts of liquid helium, and substantial manual work was required in between experiments to prepare for the next shot. Here, we present a new bullet-DNP (dynamic nuclear polarization) system that addresses these limitations.
Profiles of Ethiopian centenarians: A qualitative inquiry
Authors: Chane Samson , Adamek Margaret E.
Published: November 2021

As global aging advances, the number of centenarians worldwide is greatly increasing.   Most of what is known about centenarians comes the Global North.  It is not clear what factors contribute to longevity of centenarians in impoverished, mostly rural areas of Global South nations that still lack basic amenities. Cultural differences in the profile, lifestyles, and needs of centenarians in Africa have yet to be documented. Using a case study design, this descriptive inquiry investigated the profiles of centenarians in Ethiopia including religion, marriage, education, occupation, income, and living arrangement. Data were generated through in-depth interviews with nine centenarians (1 woman, 8 men) and were analyzed using descriptive narrative analysis. Respondents were between 100 and 108 years old. All nine were adherents of Orthodox Christianity, had been married, and were great-grandparents. Their adult lives were marked by both residential and marital stability. The Ethiopian centenarians persevered through many losses and hardships with the help of strong community-based social networks.. Unlike studies of centenarians in the Global North, most respondents were male and had strict religious upbringings. Understanding the unique profiles of centenarians in the Global South will help to inform research and practice with this growing population of the oldest-old.
“Cinderella Men”: Husband- and Son- Caregivers for Elders with Dementia in Shanghai
Authors: Zhang Yan
Published: November 2021

Traditionally, women had the day-to-day responsibility for eldercare. However, social changes have created alternatives for men to take on what is generally considered a “female duty.” Particularly, as the prevalence of dementia has increased in China, men are increasingly becoming the primary caregivers for their kin. Yet, we have limited understanding of male caregiving. Based on twenty months’ ethnographic study of 60 men taking care of a relative with dementia, this paper examines motivations, practices, struggles and strategies of male caregivers. While acknowledging the gendered nature of caregiving, I argue that eldercare goes beyond solely social construction of gender roles and power asymmetries between males and females. Men—both husbands and sons—who engage in caregiving are motivated by love, affection, moral obligation, reciprocity based on past assistance, and property inheritance. Male caregivers’ care practices and their responses toward challenges vary from case to case, yet, these differences have less association with gender identity but more with cohort variations. The expanding home roles of male caregivers call attention to the social transformation of gendered care practices in China and beyond.
