“Internazionale evangelica” e la scissione del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato in Italia nel 1908
Authors: Novarino Marco
Published: November 2022

Nel 1908 si produsse la più grave scissione all’interno del Rito Scozzese Antico ed Accettato italiano e di conseguenza del Grande Oriente d’Italia, che ebbe come protagonisti principali dei pastori protestanti. La scissione non fu il frutto di una congiura “protestante”, ma le relazioni evangelmassoniche internazionali degli scissionisti permisero sopravvivere grazie anche ai prestigiosi riconoscimenti internazionali ottenuti. In buona parte il merito può essere attribuito alle grandi doti di abilità politica e allo spasmodico lavoro prodotto dal pastore Saverio Fera e dai suoi più stretti collaboratori, anche se le Chiese a cui appartenevano furono del tutto estranee alla vicenda.
Conspirituality in COVID-19 Times
Authors: Griera Mar , Morales i Gras Jordi , Clot-Garrell Anna , Cazarín Rafael
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the development of COVID-19 anti-vaccination movements in Spain and explores their relationship with the phenomenon of conspirituality. By using a mixed-methods approach combining big data analysis with small ethnographic data analysis, we examine how conspiracy theories and spiritual ideas circulate, merge and crystallize in particular practices and encounters in Spain. The big data analysis of Twitter conversations reveals the centrality and hypervisibility of far-right populist influencers, and the predominance of classic conspiracy views over spiritual ones in anti-vax discourses. However, ethnographic observations and the analysis of digital ethnographic data of other social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube and Telegram) show the emergence and growth of a network of actors merging spiritual messages, alternative visions on health and healing, anti-vax views and conspiracy theories in different ways and degrees. These are the conspiritual assemblages, which are smaller and more local in their scale and impact but still significant in sociological terms.

Meta-Analytic Findings of the Self-Controlled Motor Learning Literature: Underpowered, Biased, and Lacking Evidential Value
Authors: McKay Brad , Yantha Zachary , Hussien Julia , Carter Michael , Ste-Marie Diane
Published: November 2022

The self-controlled motor learning literature consists of experiments that compare a group of learners who are provided with a choice over an aspect of their practice environment to a group who are yoked to those choices. A qualitative review of the literature suggests an unambiguous benefit from self-controlled practice. A meta-analysis was conducted on the effects of self-controlled practice on retention test performance measures with a focus on assessing and potentially correcting for selection bias in the literature, such as publication bias and p-hacking. First, a naïve random effects model was fit to the data and a moderate benefit of self-controlled practice, g = .44 (k = 52, N = 2061, 95% CI [.31, .56]), was found. Second, publication status was added to the model as a potential moderator, revealing a significant difference between published and unpublished findings, with only the former reporting a benefit of self-controlled practice. Third, to investigate and adjust for the impact of selectively reporting statistically significant results, a weight-function model was fit to the data with a one-tailed p-value cutpoint of .025. The weight-function model revealed substantial selection bias and estimated the true average effect of self- controlled practice as g = .107 (95% CI [.047, .18]). P-curve analyses were conducted on the statistically significant results published in the literature and the outcome suggested a lack of evidential value. Fourth, a suite of sensitivity analyses were conducted to evaluate the robustness of these results, all of which converged on trivially small effect estimates. Overall, our results suggest the benefit of self-controlled practice on motor learning is small and not currently distinguishable from zero.
Power to the People: A Beginner’s Tutorial to Power Analysis using jamovi
Authors: Bartlett James , Charles Sarah
Published: November 2022

Authors have highlighted for decades that sample size justification through power analysis is the exception rather than the rule. Even when authors do report a power analysis, there is often no justification for the smallest effect size of interest, or they do not provide enough information for the analysis to be reproducible. We argue one potential reason for these omissions is the lack of a truly accessible introduction to the key concepts and decisions behind power analysis. In this tutorial targeted at complete beginners, we demonstrate a priori and sensitivity power analysis using jamovi for two independent samples and two dependent samples. Respectively, these power analyses allow you to ask the questions: “How many participants do I need to detect a given effect size?”, and “What effect sizes can I detect with a given sample size?”. We emphasise how power analysis is most effective as a reflective process during the planning phase of research to balance your inferential goals with your resources. By the end of the tutorial, you will be able to understand the fundamental concepts behind power analysis and extend them to more advanced statistical models.

Electrolytically produced calcium is one of the most demanded materials in obtaining pure materials. At the same time, the existing technologies and devices for the electrolytic production of calcium were developed in the last century, and at present there are practically no works aimed at optimizing them. However, increasing the capacity and efficiency of existing devices for the production of calcium is in demand. To analyze possible ways to improve calcium production, a comprehensive understanding of the processes occurring at the electrodes and in the electrolyte during electrolytic production of calcium is required. This review briefly outlines the main points concerning the electrolytic production of calcium: from a brief history of the development of methods for the electrolytic production of calcium and established ideas about its physicochemical processes to information about new developments using the electrolysis of CaCl2-based melts. Review content: brief history of process development; base electrolyte for calcium production, including preparation of CaCl2 and influence of additions on it physicochemical properties; data on calcium solubility in CaCl2; information about alternative electrolytes for calcium production; short description of electrode processes in the CaCl2-based melts; proposed technologies and devices for the electrolytic production of calcium.

A Metric Instrument for the Games with Cultural Heritage
Authors: Liu Noreena Yi-Chin , Miao Kevin Chi-Jen , Ying Darren Chen Yi
Published: November 2022

This paper reviews existing research within  two fields; game studies and cultural heritage, discovering inadequacies in current digital means of cultural heritage preservation. It is not unheard of that commercial games have been utilized to showcase them, but they tend to get glossed over in favor of serious games. Therefore, this study details two new tools that can further identify and assess the level of cultural heritage content in commercial games which will benefit not just their digital preservation, but also game developers and game design researchers.
A unique conceptual framework was developed for analysing video game content specifically on four elements of cultural heritage and five elements of game components in both tangible and intangible forms. Exploratory tables of metrics were also created to quantify said content with the help of the existing Goal Question and Metric (GQM) table. They were then put to the test in two trials; Experiment I analysing 6 game franchises and Experiment II testing 28 games. Both demonstrated the presence of significant amounts of cultural heritage, much more than past works credited. Further research into this area, including adapting said tools for other game studies and commercial games usage will be possible and fruitful.
Understanding students’ engagement with a Serious Game to learn English: A sociocultural perspective
Authors: Aguilar Cruz Paola Julie
Published: November 2022

Research studies have demonstrated that students’ sociocultural background influences their learning and engagement processes in classroom activities. Additionally, research studies have shown inconclusive effects of how Serious Games improve students’ engagement. Therefore, this article describes the results of a research study that analyzed, from a sociocultural perspective, the incorporation of the Serious Game (SG) Be (the) 1: Challenge in a classroom setting with forty-seven high school students who live in vulnerable conditions in the Amazonian region of Colombia. A revised version of the Motivation Attitude Knowledge Engagement (MAKE) survey was implemented to inquire students’ engagement with the game, including open-ending questions. Moreover, GLA from a teachers’ dashboard were collected to track students’ achievements and progress during gameplay. Data was analyzed, triangulated, and interpreted through the lenses of the Reflective Play Activity Model (RPAM) to have a better understanding of students’ interactions with the game in the classroom. The main findings reveal that (1) when students developed intrinsic play, their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement was low, but when they developed extrinsic play, their engagement increased, and (2) GLA serve to predict students’ engagement with a SG in marginalized settings. Additionally, this study refines the RPAM by deepening how this model can occur in face-to-face settings with students who, due to their sociocultural background, do not have access to discuss, construct, exchange, and share information about game features in online environments.
THE ROLE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERACTIVE AND MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES IN GUIDED TOURS, USING THE UFA CITY HISTORY MUSEUM AS AN EXAMPLE
Authors:   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Veselova D.F. , Komina A.I. ,   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University
Published: November 2022

This article focuses on the use of interactive and multimedia technologies as one of the additional means of organizing the museum space and excursions; it is justified by the fact that there are numerous innovations in various spheres of activity due to the current development of intellectual information technologies. The article deals with the main types of digital technologies which are already used in the museum space, and also offers possible variants of their use for increasing the attractiveness of excursion objects. In addition to the listed advantages and qualities of the studied technologies, the article considers a concrete example and describes in detail the methods of introducing multimedia technologies. The tourism industry constantly has to adapt to changes in the external environment, an environment that can fluctuate due to certain constraints and measures. The coronavirus infection, the impact of which on tourism can be argued for quite a long time, has made many adjustments. But at this stage, the focus should be on optimising innovative processes and technologies that will contribute to the development of both domestic and international tourism. Often, many tourism destinations resort to the application of technologies such as multimedia and interactive. First of all, it should be noted that multimedia is the interaction of visual and audio effects under the control of interactive software using modern technical and software tools, combining text, sound, graphics, photos, video in a single digital representation. These technologies have found wide application in museums, and for several years now multimedia has enjoyed great popularity among different generations and ages. However, there is an obvious pattern to a certain extent - a younger audience will be more accustomed to perceive information virtually rather than in written or printed form.

The objective of the research is to identify global similarities and glocal differences of the new Generation Z in the information/digital society. Despite the divergent ways of developing the three countries (the US, Russia, and China) share some common tendencies, related to their entry into a new development stage and the wide presence of digital environment in these countries. The authors employed the method of comparative analysis to review and discuss the research findings of the leading American and Chinese scholars as well as the data of their research on centennials carried out with the use of the information-communicative method. The research revealed that despite certain differences, centennials tend to display common behavioral traits, including pragmatism, aspiration to make use of the available resources most efficiently for their personal self-enhancement, intention to create their network community and society in general, which corresponds to the idea of a sustainable society. Another shared property is their acceptance of the digital environment as their natural habitat, ability to work with information, and the construction of network communication. The paper also outlines regional differences, formed under the specific circumstances of each country. It comes up with the general conclusion that the new generation embraces the sustainable development of the emergent information/digital society.

Pilot study of online occupational healthcare for workers using visual display units (VDUs) Objective: Public employees at state schools in Rhineland-Palatinate use visual display units in the course of their work. For the doctors at the Institute for Teacher Health, the question arose as to whether a medical consultation leading to appropriate occupational health interventions for workers using VDUs according to “ArbMedVV” could be held online. To test this idea, the study was to apply an orienting online eye test and evaluate it with regard to practicability and benefit. Method: School staff who had applied for special visual aids for use with VDUs were offered advice via online video consultation including an orienting online eye test. A standardised questionnaire served as an interview guide for the purposes of ascertaining medical history and for documentation. The results of the questionnaire and the orienting online eye test were managed in a database and evaluated descriptively for this paper. Results: Thirty consultations (26 online video consultations, 4 telephone consultations) were held during the evaluation period (22.12.2021 to 26.07.2022). Employees of vocational colleges were the most frequent participants (27 %). All employees reported complaints when working with screens. The combination of visual and shoulder/neck complaints was the most common complaint constellation (16 people, 53 %). In the majority of cases (70 %), the employees achieved a good to very good result in the orienting online eye test. Based on the comprehensive anamnesis and observations made during the video consultation, all persons received detailed advice and an occupational medical recommendation for special visual aids for their work with VDUs. Conclusion: Online occupational healthcare for VDU workers via online video consultations including an online eye test has proven to be practicable in the group presented here. A standardised questionnaire for anamnesis and documentation has demonstrated its worth. The orienting online eye test provided important information, especially through observating the employees during the procedure. The value of the orienting online eye test should be validated in comparison with conventional eye tests according to Occupational Medical Rule (AMR) 14.1. Keywords: occupational healthcare (ArbMedVV) – online eye test – school staff – visual display units

12-month prevalence of selected diseases in physicians in Germany. Results of a cross-sectional study Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the health status of physicians in Germany based on the 12-month prevalence of selected diseases, the BMI and their health behaviour. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted as an online survey using questions from the GEDA study. The 12-month prevalence of the selected diseases and the percentage proportion by BMI category and associated 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Results: A total of 343 physicians (73.18% women, 25.36% men, 1.46% non-binary) with a mean age of 37.77 (SD 8.42) years were included in this study. Based on BMI, 21.90% (95% CI: 16.86%; 27.65%) of female and 13.75% (7.07%; 23.27%) of male participants were found to be overweight. The highest 12-month prevalence was found for neck complaints (46.94% [95% CI: 41.58%; 52.37%]), back complaints (43.73% [95% CI: 38.41%; 49.16%] and allergies (34.69 [95% CI: 29.66%; 39.99%]). It should be noted here that the 12-month prevalence of depression among female participants was 13.55% (95% CI: 9.57%; 18.41%). 26.69% (95% CI: 21.96%; 31.84%) of participants exercised for ≥10 min never or less frequently than one day per week. In addition, 46.63% (95% CI: 41.11%; 52.20%) consulted a general practitioner/family doctor in the last 12 months. Conclusion: Overall, the participating physicians indicated a good health status, although the 12-month prevalence of depression in female participants could be considered high.

Preservice Teachers’ Views about the Use of Mind and Intelligence Games in Education
Authors: YUKSELTURK Erman , İLHAN Fatih , ALTIOK Serhat
Published: November 2022

Games, which are fun activities, have some benefits for learning environments when used educationally; they play an essential role in children’s physical, mental, social, emotional, and language development. Similarly, mind and intelligence games can improve the cognitive abilities of individuals by improving their basic reasoning and problem-solving skills. This qualitative case study examines preservice teachers' views on the use of mind and intelligence games in education and their effects on individuals. Researchers collected the data using a semi-structured interview guide they developed, through focus group interviews with twenty-seven preservice teachers who were enrolled in and completed an elective course offered at the faculty of education in the fall of 2021. According to the findings, preservice teachers mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of mind and intelligence games according to the type of media. The findings showed that mathematics is a more appropriate course for using the mind and intelligence games, followed by primary school courses, psychological counseling, and social sciences courses. The preservice teachers found mind and intelligence games eligible to support primarily cognitive skills involved in remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. Furthermore, co-operation and sociability are the skills that were more frequently referred to by preservice teachers, along with other skills, including persistence, achievement motivation, and self-efficacy.

RNA Extraction from Cecum Contents of Gnotobiotic Mice v1
Authors: Gause Haley
Published: November 2022

RNA extraction from the cecum contents of gnotobiotic mice colonized with extremely minimal communities (single yeast and/or single bacterial community) can be difficult due to excess complex carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are not broken down in the same way as they are in conventional mice and their presence can significantly decrease yield and purity of your RNA sample. In this protocol, special considerations are taken, including extra phenol/chloroform extractions and lithium chloride precipitations, to reduce the contamination of carbohydrates. RNA resulting from this protocol is extremely clean (A260/280 = > 2.0, A260/230 = 2.0-2.3).

Double Layered Priority based Gray Wolf Algorithm (PrGWO-SK)
for safety management in IoT network through anomaly detection
Authors: Prasad Agrawal Akhileshwar , Singh Nanhay
Published: November 2022

For mitigating and managing risk failures due to Internet of Things (IoT) attacks, many Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) solutions have been used to detect attacks but
mostly suffer from the problem of high dimensionality. The problem is even more acute for
resource starved IoT nodes to work with high dimension data. Motivated by this problem, in
the present work a priority based Gray Wolf Optimizer is proposed for effectively reducing
the input feature vector of the dataset. At each iteration all the wolves leverage the relative
importance of their leader wolves’ position vector for updating their own positions. Also,
a new inclusive fitness function is hereby proposed which incorporates all the important
quality metrics along with the accuracy measure. In a first, SVM is used to initialize the proposed PrGWO population and kNN is used as the fitness wrapper technique. The proposed
approach is tested on NSL-KDD, DS2OS and BoTIoT datasets and the best accuracies are
found to be 99.60%, 99.71% and 99.97% with number of features as 12,6 and 9 respectively
which are better than most of the existing algorithms.
Modern Approach to the Process of the Material Cultural Heritage Protection in the Context of the European Experience’ Specific Cases
Authors:   Lviv National Academy of Art, Hanuliak Lesia
Published: November 2022

Cultural property is the heritage that defines and constructs our identity. We share responsibility for its protection. The important thing is the approach to cultural property and its respective protection and restoration. This article tries to understand the mechanisms used to prepare facilities for restoration properly. Trends and examples of countries that have faced similar challenges in protecting the cultural heritage we face in Ukraine are discussed. The article describes a new holistic approach to researching and preserving cultural property called 'restoration design.' The role of the art restorer as an interdisciplinary specialist, who can be a link between representatives of different disciplines of science and art in restoration, has been determined. This new approach to protecting and preserving cultural property, which has existed for many years in Western Europe, was also applied and discussed in concrete examples of restoration projects in Western Ukraine. It has been determined that such a model certainly improves the overall approach to the preparatory process and the implementation of works related to the protection of material heritage. The increasing role of the art restorer is perfectly consistent with this pattern. The restorer ensures a holistic approach to the cultural heritage object concerning its historical and artistic values. Proven models from other countries can be the basis for further discussion of the future of restoration in Ukraine.
Social Work Students’ Self-Efficacy Toward Direct Practice Skills in Field Education Using Virtual Simulations and Scripted Role Plays
Authors: Keeney Annie J. , Lee Amanda , Jayyousi Sarah , Young Jimmy A. , Guarino Jeannine , Turner Katie B.
Published: November 2022

Simulations with professional actors and scripted role plays with peers are effective methods to increase direct practice skills. However, little is known about how simulations or scripted role plays conducted virtually can influence social work students' practice self-efficacy. MSW students enrolled in field seminar courses across two universities were invited to participate in an exploratory, repeated measures assessment utilizing the Counselor Activity Self-Efficacy Scales (CASES). One university (n=100) implemented the use of standardized clients, played by professional actors within field seminar; the other university (n=61) implemented scripted, peer-led role plays. Significant differences were found in pre/post scores among MSW students that participated in simulated client experiences within their field seminar. Simulations and scripted peer role plays may need to be more integrated into social work curricula when opportunities for in-person direct practice skill development are limited due to hybrid or fully remote field placements. Applied learning in social work education must be re-envisioned so programs can prepare MSW students to be effective practitioners in today’s rapidly changing environment.
Re-Envisioning Social Work Education
Authors: Kang Hye-Kyung
Published: November 2022

Social justice is a central principle of the social work profession and education. However, it can become a hollow ideal unless it is specifically addressed in all applications of social work practice. Scholars have long questioned the social work profession’s commitment to putting social justice into practice. Clinical social work has been particularly criticized for its lack of attention to social justice and for failing to address the concerns of the oppressed by relying on individual intervention while overlooking system-level changes. Given that clinical social work is the largest specialization in social work practice, clinical social work programs must re-envision their curriculum to fully address this criticism and educate future social workers to pursue social justice at all levels of practice. This paper presents the collective work of the social work faculty at a clinical social work program to construct a social justice-focused clinical social work curriculum, which culminated in a statement on social justice commitment in their curriculum, illustrates the iterative process of this work, and discusses the lessons from this experience. Implications include the importance of shared understanding of social justice and articulating how it operates in all aspects of social work practice as well as in social work pedagogy.
Best Practices for Antiracist Education in Virtual Settings
Authors: Crutchfield Jandel , Fisher Amy Killen , Plummer Sara
Published: November 2022

In 2020, resources proliferated for 1) teaching in virtual settings in response to educational disruptions; and 2) antiracist education practices. Resources that combined these subjects to suggest antiracist education practices for the virtual setting were comparatively few. In this article, the authors propose ways to connect antiracist practices to virtual education. We begin with an exploration of racism and antiracism. Next, we explore existing literature for how racism shows up in the virtual classroom. Literature suggests instructor bias, course planning, and course delivery practices can work to uphold racism and manifestations of white supremacy in these virtual settings. Drawing from the work of scholars in the area of antiracist pedagogy, we suggest processes educators can engage in for increasing awareness of instructor bias, and for increasing the use of antiracist practices in course planning and delivery to help begin (or continue) the process of implementing antiracist practices in the virtual classroom.
Awareness of Racism Among Social Work Students in a Challenging Era
Authors: Hsu Hsun-Ta , Givens Ashley , Bailey Rachel , Wilson Che , Rattliff Ryan , Ramseyer Winter Virginia
Published: November 2022

This study focused on understanding individual (e.g., political identity and alignment of social work core values with the Black Lives Matter movement and the All Lives Matter argument) and social environmental correlates (e.g., social network composition) of awareness of racism among social work students. A convenience sample of social work students (n=98) recruited from a major Midwest land grant university completed an online anonymous survey with questions covering individual characteristics, social network information, and attitudes toward social phenomena. The Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale was used to assess overall awareness of racism, White privilege, institutional racism, and blatant racism. Regression models were conducted to identify correlates of these domains of racial attitudes separately. Liberal political view identification and alignment of Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement with social work core values were associated with better awareness of racism across all domains; aligning All Lives Matter with social work core values was associated with unawareness of overall racism, institutional racism, and blatant racism. Finally, discussion on racial issues with network members was associated with better awareness of overall racism, White privilege, and blatant racism. Social work programs should facilitate inter-group dialogues to build consensus on countering racism. Discussions on the mission and the context of BLM and its opposition efforts should also be incorporated in the curriculum. Finally, more emphasis on the impact of institutional racism should be included into course activities to further discussion on such topics within students’ network.

Spanish/English bilingual (SEB) speaking social workers are in high demand, particularly in the area of Child Welfare. Most require training and institutional support to increase their cultural and linguistic competence, yet the majority receive no specific education or support. As a result, many encounter inequities in the workforce. Research points to several elements that are essential to the education and development of SEB social workers. They include professional terminology, supervision in Spanish, and the opportunity to integrate theory and practice. To respond to the needs of a growing Spanish-speaking population, the UConn BSW Program has added a Child Welfare and Protection (CWP) track. CWP is designed to provide BSW SEB speaking students with specialized knowledge and experience to meet the needs of Latinx families served by the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (CT DCF). This paper describes how the UConn BSW program and DCF collaborated to re-envision social work education for SEB students and contribute to distributive justice for client and worker. The CWP Track prepares BSW students to work with a range of Spanish-speaking clients while facilitating institutional support including incentives to create a much-needed workforce pipeline for SEB social work students interested in child welfare.
Dismantling Structures That Impede Clinical Social Work Practice

The current study examined the relationship between pre-licensure supervised experience requirements and license violations in order to ascertain whether jurisdictions requiring higher numbers of hours of supervised experience to obtain clinical social worker (CSW) licensure had fewer violations. The purpose of the study was to explore if there is a measure of “enough” supervised experience without compromising protection of the public. Three data files were used to complete the study: National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB), Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB)’s Supervision Requirements per Jurisdiction Data, and ASWB’s U.S. Social Work Licensee Data. Results indicated that jurisdictions requiring less than 4,000 hours of supervised experience reported fewer violations than would be expected, whereas jurisdictions requiring 4,000+ hours of supervised experience reported more violations than would be expected given the number of CSWs within the respective groups. Results question the practice of requiring higher amounts of supervised experience as a regulatory standard. Implications for social work regulation include support for nationally standardizing the required amounts of supervised experience outlined by Groshong (2011) and the ASWB (2018) Model Social Work Practice Act.
We Deserve to Thrive

The summer of 2020 saw a racial justice awakening among predominantly white scholars. While this “awakening” or reckoning regarding the long-standing racism in society is welcomed and necessary, we must recognize the stark differences in how this work is felt and ultimately in how the work needs to be done by different groups in society. While BIPOC scholars worked to balance the need to process and recover, self-preserve, and advocate, white peers formed book clubs and posted black squares to their social media sites. This distinction describes the frustrating reality that many BIPOC scholars experience in the work of undoing racism. We bear the unrelenting burdens of being oppressed, fighting racism, and trying to survive in a society that does not value our inherent dignity and worth. For BIPOC doctoral students who simultaneously navigate the roles of being a student, peer, and instructor, these burdens are threefold. We are expected to do the invisible work of mentoring and holding space for fellow BIPOC students while also educating white students and faculty/administrators on racial justice issues and contending with faculty expectations. These burdens are exacerbated as we see anti-racism quickly go in vogue and then fall out of favor soon after. The aftermath: unfulfilled promises and commitments by self-proclaimed anti-racists, leaving BIPOC scholars to pick up the pieces and solely shoulder the never-ending work of anti-racism. There is a continued lack of sustained commitment to achieving racial equity across the board. The steps that have been taken are often characterized by quick fixes that fall short of the real work that will lead to a racially just, equitable and inclusive community. The purpose of this paper is to bring attention to the challenges within the academy experienced by BIPOC social work doctoral students. Drawing upon our experience with creating a BIPOC-centered support group at a predominantly white institution (PWI), we provide insight and recommendations on how colleagues and administrators alike can take action to hold space, bolster, and better support BIPOC doctoral student scholars by creating inclusive educational environments, offering tailored, concrete, and formal supports, and ultimately creating an anti-racist academic culture free from all forms of oppression.

Dismantling structures that impede social work professional and organizational growth begins with social work educational institutions. In 2020, the convergence of three pandemics – COVID-19, economic injustice, and, notably, structural racism, catalyzed a group of social work staff and faculty at a public Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in the Southern U.S. The group relied on community organizing and organizational change strategies to form the antiracism collective (ARC). We employed a participatory evaluative case study (Merriam, 1998) methodology to answer two questions: 1) How has ARC accelerated one social work department's integration of antiracist praxis (theory, reflection, action) into all aspects of the department to support the department's mission?; and 2) How can ARC dismantle structures which impede social workers' ability to confront racism? We find that ARC 1) catalyzed department transformation as evidenced by the increased sense of critical consciousness, struggle, integrity, and community; and 2) achieved primarily individual impact, with small but potentially significant department impact, and small but potentially significant structural impact. We highlight strengths and limitations of antiracism collectives as a pathway to confront racism in other social work educational institutions.

Background: The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) was declared global pandemic in March 2020. Globally, this disease has caused more than 5.1 million deaths. Vaccines against COVID-19 considered as the most efficient way to stop the spread of this disease. The perception about the COVID vaccine has a greater impact on the vaccination against this disease. The objective of this study is to assess the Level of perception on COVID-19 vaccines and to find out the factors associated with level of perception on COVID-19 vaccines.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 651 employees of Annamalai University during the month of October 2021 to March 2022. A pretested semi structure questionnaire was used to collect the data. Collected data was entered in Microsoft excel and analysis was done using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) version 17.0.Results: Out of 651 participants, 69.4% were males, 84% were married, 34.4% i.e., 225 participants belong to 41-50 age category. With mean age 41.78±9.708. 26.8% had a favorable perception towards vaccine. The level of perception is significantly associated with educational status and vaccination status of the study participant.Conclusions: 45% of the participants had neutral level of perception on the COVID-19 vaccines. The educational status of the participant and favourable perception on the COVID-19 vaccines have the influence on the COVID vaccination status.

Po pandemiji COVID-19 svet ponovno pretresajo izredni dogodki, tokrat v povezavi z ukrajinsko krizo. Ta se odraža na različnih področjih naših življenj, še najbolj pa se v Sloveniji odraža v visokih cenah življenjskih potrebščin in energentov. Zaradi visokih cen le-teh, gnojil in pomanjkanja ter omejitve izvoza nekaterih dobrin so se cene hrane bistveno zvišale glede na raven pred ukrajinsko krizo. Čeprav zavržena količina hrane na prebivalca po podatkih Statističnega Urada Republike Slovenije (SURS) za leto 2020 še vedno dosega okoli 68 kg na prebivalca na leto, se potrošniki začenjamo zavedati pomena dostopa do kakovostne hrane. Slovenija je že tradicionalno orientirana v pridelavo lokalnih živil, zadnja kriza s pandemijo COVID-19 pa je pomen lokalne samooskrbe samo še poglobila. Potrošniki se zavedajo, da so, zaradi prisotnih pretresov in nestabilnosti na trgih, lokalno pridelana živila vedno pomembnejša. S pojavom spletnih tržnic, ki so se razmahnile v času pandemije COVID-19, pa smo naredili korak bližje k digitalizaciji v kmetijstvu. Prav tako nas je zanimalo, ali se potrošniki sedaj bolj odločajo za nakup lokalnih živil preko spletnih tržnic.V članku predstavljamo raziskavo, izvedeno v oktobru 2022, s katero smo želeli preveriti, kakšen je odnos do lokalno pridelane hrane v Sloveniji v času ukrajinske krize in ali so se, glede na predhodne raziskave glede na čas pandemije COVID-19, navade kaj spremenile.

Background: The cytokine Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is involved in inflammatory diseases. The objective of the present study was to measure the expression levels of MIF in the tissues of Epinephelus awoara (E. awoara). mRNA levels of MIF were investigated in the tissues including spleen, liver, brain, head kidney, stomach, gill, heart, intestine and muscle of E. awoara. Methods: In the experiment, E. awoara were infected with V. alginolyticus and then they were analyzed by ELISA to confirm the mRNA levels of MIF, TNF-α and IL-1 in the many tissues in diseased fishes were higher than those in healthy fishes. Result: The mRNA levels increased significantly in treatment groups. Likewise, E. awoara with V. alginolyticus infections showed significant increases in IL-1 and TNF-α tissues content of intestine, head kidney, liver, muscle and spleen, respectively. There was evidence that MIF stimulates the release of TNF-á and IL-1. The results have the potential to perpetuate that MIF is connected with the inflammatory process in V. alginolyticus infectious diseases.
