From the individual to the collective: Repositioning assessment as a social practice
Authors: Huang Cheng-Wen , Govender Shanali , Gachago Daniela
Published: December 2023

Although assessment theorists have long argued that assessment is a contextually located social practice, objectivist and psychometric discourses about assessment persist. The COVID-19 pandemic, in many contexts, unsettled and denaturalised assessment practices, creating a critical disruptive moment. This paper presents a reflection on what this moment might suggest about academics’ assessment beliefs and practices at a research-intensive institution in the Western Cape. Drawing on an institutional survey, we argue that dominant concerns about academic integrity and mark inflation surface discourses of assessment for certification and accountability. Exploring some examples of assessment practices during the emergency remote teaching period at the same institution, we highlight some factors that influence design. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, we contemplate the conditions of field and capital that create opportunities for change. We propose that change is contingent on the complex interplay of the capital and habitus of agents, as well as the nature of the field. We reaffirm the case for positioning assessment as a social practice, arguing that this enables the conditions for discussion, negotiation, and scrutiny on the purpose of assessments, what is being valued and not valued, and who is benefiting or being marginalised from particular assessment practices.

Published: December 2023

Aim of our research was to conduct a clinical and laboratory analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy and the condition of the fetus.
Materials and Methods: At the first stage, we conducted a retrospective examination of 50 pregnant women treated at Ternopil Municipal Hospital No.2 (Ukraine) between November 2020 and January 2022 with the history of COVID-19, confirmed by PCR test, and 25 pregnant COVID-19 negative pregnant women (control group). At the second stage, we performed prospective cohort study and involved 40 pregnant women treated with the history of COVID-19, confirmed by PCR, and 10 pregnant COVID-19 negative women with a physiological course of pregnancy as a control group.Women were divided into the following groups: group I -10 women diagnosed with COVID-19 during the first trimester of pregnancy: group II-15 women diagnosed during the second trimester; group III-15 women diagnosed during the third trimester. Ultrasound examination and cardiotocograms were performed to assess fetus status. Blood samples were collected at delivery. To determine whether COVID-19 could alter placental angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), PlGF and interleuin-32-α were assessed.
Results: We identified that concentration of VEGFA was 95.30±5.65 pg/ml in control group. In women who had COVID-19 in first trimester, this index was 1.3 times higher, in second trimester 1.63 times higher and in third trimester by 2 times compared to control group. PlGF concentration was only 27,4 percent in group I, 16 percent in group II and 30 percent in group III,compared to control group. Concentration of interleuin-32-α was 67.27±5.63 pg/ml in control group and increased to 167 percent in group I, by 2.8 times in group II and by 6.3 times in group III compared to control group.
Conclusions: COVID-19 has a negative impact on placental angiogenesis, including VEGFA and PlGF. Fetal post-COVID-19 syndrome requires timely diagnosis of disorders and further study. Post-COVID-19 syndrome is an immune-dependent pathology in which the processes of protracted cytokine activation occur in the body of a pregnant woman.

Published: December 2023

Aim: The purpose of the study was to identify the influence of the patient’s sex and age, the volumes of the salivary gland and pleomorphic adenoma on the histological variants of the tumor.
Materials and Methods: The study included 21 women and 9 men with pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary gland. In 15 cases, a mesenchymal variant of pleomorphic adenoma was identified, in 5 cases – an epithelial variant, in 10 cases – a mixed variant. The average age of the patients was 39.7±2.9 years. Patients with pleomorphic adenomas underwent magnetic resonance imaging using a Siemens MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T device (Germany), during which three projections of the tumor and salivary gland were measured (antero-posterior, lateral, vertical) with subsequent calculation of their volumes, and then the ratios of these volumes.
Classification trees were used to determine whether patients belonged to one of three variants of pleomorphic adenoma. The CART (Classification And Regression Tree) algorithm was used as a branching option. Stopping branching was carried out using the FACT (Fact-style direct stopping) method until each terminal (final) node of the tree does not contain incorrectly classified observations or when their number becomes less than a given proportion of the total group size (less than 5%). Determination of the structure and relationships between the tumor variants and such indicators as gender, age and radiological indicators (volume of the tumor, volume of the salivary gland, ratio of tumor volume to salivary gland volume) was carried out using correspondence analysis.
Results: Epithelial variant of pleomorphic adenoma is more typical for women, and the mixed and mesenchymal variant is more common for patients of both sexes. The epithelial variant can develop in patients of any age, while the mixed variant occurs mainly in patients older than 41 years, and the mesenchymal variant – mainly in patients younger than 41 years. The ratio of the volume of the tumor to the volume of the salivary gland will be predominantly >0.17 in the epithelial variant of pleomorphic adenoma, predominantly ≤0.17 in the mesenchymal variant, and can take any value in the mixed variant.
Conclusions: The authors conducted a study in order to identify the influence of sex, age of the patient, and the ratio of the volume of pleomorphic adenoma to the volume of the salivary gland on the histological variant of the tumor. The revealed data will be useful in the treatment and diagnostic process in patients with pleomorphic adenoma of the salivary gland.

Published: December 2023

Aim: reveal in social work the possibilities of applying adaptive physical activity in the process of social inclusion of persons with disabilities.
Materials and Methods: To obtain factual information, the survey method (questionnaire) and a complex of mathematical statistics methods were used: methods of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 24.0.0. A total of 102 anonymous respondents took part in the focus groups.
Results: The connection between adaptive physical activity and the increase in the level of social inclusion of persons with disabilities, in particular, former military personnel and war veterans, was investigated. It was determined that social work professionals can use adaptive physical activity tools to promote the social inclusion of persons with disabilities and other low-mobility population groups.
Conclusions: It was established that the ways of using adaptive physical activity tools by social workers for the social inclusion of persons with disabilities are most often socio-psychological, physical, professional rehabilitation, social support, and preventive activities. New opportunities for the implementation of social inclusion by means of adaptive physical activity of persons with disabilities as a result of military operations are opened in connection with the introduction of the position of «helper (assistant) of a veteran in the community», which will be held by a social worker.
CONSIDERATION OF THE PECULIARITIES OF A PERSON WITH POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN MEDIATOR`S PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Pashkov Vitalii M. , Hubanova Olha V. , Buzhynska Svitlana M.
Published: December 2023

Aim: To study and take into account the behavioral characteristics of a person with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) during the mediation procedure and to experimentally test the peculiarities of PTSD in young adults and to study the causal relationship between PTSD and personality resilience.
Materials and Methods: The diagnosis was carried out using the methods of diagnosing resilience (S. Muddy in the adaptation of D. Leontiev) and the Mississippi Scale for Combat-Related PTSD. Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software package STATISTICA 10. The analysis of the study results included the distribution of the results of the arithmetic mean and the identification of correlations using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The obtained empirical data were processed qualitatively and quantitatively.
Results: In the course of the study we found that mediation is the best alternative way to resolve legal disputes with a person with PTSD, as the mediator creates a safe space, an atmosphere of trust, helps to cope with emotions, and, through questioning and other techniques, forms a conscious attitude towards their own needs and interests. Such interaction is empathetic and non-traumatic for a person with PTSD who is a party to mediation. It has been established that the level of PTSD manifestation in young adults affects their level of resilience.
Conclusions: mediator’s work with a person with PTSD requires more activity on the part of the mediator, empathic communication, and possession of skills in dealing with psychotrauma. All decisions made as a result of mediation will be aimed at satisfying the basic need for safety of such a person.

Aim: Conduct a comparative analysis of effectiveness of obesity treatment in primary care using patient-oriented approach with motivational counseling for lifestyle correction and its combination with armodafinil therapy in patients with concomitant shift work sleep disorder.
Materials and Methods: 75 patients with obesity were studied, 38 patients had shift work disorder. Patients were divided into 2 groups: I (37 patients with obesity treated with motivational counseling) and II (38 patients with obesity and shift work disorder treated additionally with armodafinil 150 mg daily). The examination was at baseline, after 1st, 3th and 6th months. Statistical analysis was provided.
Results: After 1 month of treatment, there were improvement of eating behavior, level of anxiety and depression, prognosis of diabetes development. At 3rd month, more pronounced changes were observed in 2nd group: 10% body weight loss, changes in eating behavior, sleep quality, anxiety level (p<0.05). After 6 months, examined indicators in both groups normalized, but dynamics in 2nd group was more significant; armodafinil-treated group had significantly better results in body weight loss, BMI, WC, HC, ConI, AVI, BPs, HOMA index, serotonin, leptin, levels of anxiety and depression, eating behavior, daytime dysfunction, level of sleepiness, quality of life and risk of developing diabetes.
Conclusions: The use of armofafinil in addition to patientoriented motivational counseling in lifestyle correction (“5 As” and “5R”) in patients with obesity connected with shift work disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness allows to reduce body weight by more than 16,52%, in contrast to isolated use of the same technique of motivational counseling in obese patients without sleep disorder (only 5,51%).

Aim: To analyze the practical application of the sensory integration technique for individuals with autism spectrum disorder at a climbing section, and to investigate the impact of physical activity on improving their proprioceptive and vestibular systems.
Materials and Methods: The method of included participant observation at the climbing classes with constant recording the behavior (desirable and undesirable) was used. The sensory screening (developed by J. Ayres) was applied for recording and determining the sensory systems of the people with ASD before the start of training and again after a month. The scale of Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) was used for assessing certain aspects of participants’ sensory processing or perception according to the goals set during the climbing classes.
Results: The results of the research showed that the application of the sensory integration technique for individuals with ACD at a climbing section promoted the dynamics of changes in their sensory system during training considering the characteristics of their sensory system. The positive changes were observed in the way the people with ACD felt about their own bodies and their involvement in sports activities that in its turn made it possible to be active and develop their sensory system. It has been identified that while planning training for the people with ASD it is necessary to take into account sensory modulation (reading sensory signals) and apply exercises for stimulating sensory sensations that will improve the motor activity of persons with ASD, their social interaction, and safety, as well.
Conclusions: During training at the climbing section sensory information processing of the individuals with ASD have the impact on their body control, hand-eye coordination, and hand sensitivity during training. The improvement of sensory information processing in its turn enables people with ASD to master climbing.

Published: December 2023

Shark fin or triangular QRS-ST-T waveform ECG pattern, also known as lambda-wave ST elevation or giant R wave syndrome, is a particular ECG presentation where QRS complex, ST-segment and T-wave are fused in a unique complex. Originally described in some patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the acute phase, it has been found to be associated with a high risk of ventricular fibrillation and cardiogenic shock as well as with a high in-hospital mortality. However, shark fin ECG pattern has also been reported in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome related ST-elevation (NASTEP), including stress-induced takotsubo syndrome (TTS). Fourteen such cases (all females) have been reported so far. The authors present a case of a 56-year-old male with shark fin ECG pattern associated with TTS triggered by burn injuries of head, back, upper, lower limbs and the respiratory tract. Due to respiratory insufficiency and heart failure with hemodynamic compromise, he required mechanical ventilation and catecholamines use. Echocardiography showed apical and midventricular akinesia with left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain reduced to 30% and -6.8%, respectively and a high segmental post-systolic index. Shark fin pattern maintained within 2 days, then ST-T evolution was observed. Echocardiographic improvement followed by almost normalization were seen after 6 and 9 days, respectively. No cardiac arrhythmias were recorded as in most of the described cases with shark fin ECG and TTS.

Narrating Resistance: Representation of Nineteenth Century Bengali Muslim Women in Akhtar Mahal's Niyantrita
Authors: - Shyma Begum , - Dipendu Das
Published: December 2023

The participation and Muslim women’s contributions of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century in the social reform movements in India have remained largely unexplored. The documented literary history of the period till date furthermore does not accord a reasonable space for Muslim women authors. The present paper attempts to intervene in the context of the gaps throughout recorded history where women, especially Muslim are posited almost overlooked in the discourses of society, religion, and literature. The paper intends to examine how Muslim women are portrayed in the social and religious discourses of India and/ or undivided Bengal, marking their challenges at multiple levels in literary and socio-cultural history. It intends to critically examine the Bengali Muslim writer Akhtar Mahal’s pioneering novella, Niyantrita (1926) that explores Muslim women’s aversion to hierarchical structures of the contemporary Indian society. Begum Akhtar Mahal (1901-1928) was an eminent Muslim writer who continued writing despite the adversities she faced after her early marriage at the age of fourteen. Born in 1901 in an aristocratic and educated family, Akhtar was introduced into an atmosphere that was truly conducive to literary and artistic pursuits, even though there was no question of sending the girls to school or college in the initial decades of the 1900s. But the feudal environment of her in-laws house was absolutely different from her paternal home. Women keen on education or music or art were not appreciated in her marital home. These are the aspects that led her to raise her voice of resistance against patriarchal oppression. Two of her seminal works are Niyantrita and Maran Baran. The Bengali Muslim negotiation with modernity and even with anti-colonial struggles has not been well recorded. Most accounts speak of ‘backwardness’, where the Bengali Muslim ‘renaissance’ takes place about fifty years after the Bengal renaissance. The institutionalized patriarchal setting was held responsible for an “enforced” seclusion. This rendered Muslim women significantly less visible to historical and social analyses than their Indian counterparts. Akhtar Mahal intricately weaves a tapestry of romance entangled with the heart-wrenching realities of forced marriages that often plague Muslim societies. The tale chronicles a life filled with sorrow, delicately narrated in a poignant and mournful fashion. This narrative touches upon the experiences of Muslim women, colonialism, patriarchy, and the echo of resistance.

Published: December 2023

Health problem related to respiratory diseases is acute particularly in rural communities where firewood and agricultural residues are used as primary fuel. The use of inefficient traditional cookstoves in poorly ventilated rooms causes high levels of household air pollution, and also contributes to ambient air pollution. Household air pollution causes significant chronic health problems such as Asthma, COPD and Heart diseases, eye pain, head, and back pain as common diseases. This study aims to investigate factor affecting human health by using firewood in inefficient stoves and estimates the associated household health costs. A field survey was administered in 3 municipalities from two districts; Sindhuli and Kavrepalanchowk districts in between the years 2019 and 2020. A survey was carried out among 221 households. To gain deeper insights, we employed a cross-sectional analytical study, utilizing primary data and applying a multiple linear regression model. The findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between health treatment cost and firewood use. This study recommends that cook stoves programmes should not be seen as only a means to reduce deforestation and time savings, but also need to be seen from health aspects in the rural households.

Authors: - Raafain Islam
Published: December 2023

Ovarian enlargement of non-neoplastic origin is due to the accumulation of fluid in the functional unit. Follicular cysts are the most common physiological functional ovarian cysts. Definitive diagnosis is often difficult to establish as the clinical symptoms may be similar to acute appendicitis, acute cholecystitis, ovarian torsion or ectopic pregnancy. Spontaneous hemoperitoneum secondary to follicular cysts are rare but may be life-threatening.
The case: The following case study is of a 20 year old female who presented to the emergency ward with severe right lower abdominal pain. On pelvic ultrasound a thick-walled cystic space occupying lesion (SOL) of size 70mm x 56mm was noted in the right side with peripheral vascularity and peripheral tiny follicles. Mild to moderate ascites was also seen. An emergency laparotomy was performed. The histopathology of the ovarian cyst was reported as follicular cyst with no evidence of malignancy.
Conclusion: This case study emphasizes the optimal management of ruptured ovarian cyst and the elimination of differential diagnoses.

Published: December 2023

Agriculture, specifically farming, has been the primary source of livelihood for a large proportion of the Philippine population. Despite an increase in consumption, there is a decrease in coffee output that needs to be increased to supply domestic demand. Due to financial instability and a lack of resources, farmers join cooperatives to solve their concerns. This study examined and analyzed the effect of Cafe Amadeo Development Cooperative (CADC) initiatives on the living wages of their coffee farmers' members. This research proved whether CADC effectively boosts their living wages to enhance their lifestyles. Using Ordinal Regression Analysis, calculate the data from the primary data gathered through a quantitatively designed survey questionnaire from the members. The study's findings highlight the importance of coffee bean pricing and dividends in enhancing the living standards of coffee farmers. These factors contribute to higher living wages and improved overall well-being. However, loans and patronage, while not directly impacting living wages, play an essential role in addressing the financial needs of coffee farmers, both as farmers and as family providers. The research findings reflect on CADC initiatives and serve as a roadmap for their upcoming approach to promoting coffee farmers' advancement. Researchers recommend that Cafe Amadeo Development Cooperative (CADC) implement advances in farming practices and introduce modern machinery to foster growth. These measures can empower farmers, enhance their productivity, and increase their living wage.

Authors: - Sriya K , - Ananya U S
Published: December 2023

Social security and labor laws in India are intended to protect the rights and the well-being of workers. These laws cover many topics, including employment conditions, wages, health and safety, social security benefits, and more. In India, the evolution of social security legislation has been slow, with many laws and changes enacted throughout the years to address the social and economic demands of employees and their families.
Here, the social security regulations are largely centered on the Social Security Code, which was implemented as part of labor code amendments in 2020. The Social Security Code strives to offer a comprehensive framework for employees and their families to receive social security payments. However, before this code, there were other significant landmark rulings and measures enacted to safeguard the laborers.
This research paper will provide an overview of all the different laws that have been put in place to benefit employees since the awakening of the labor movement. Incorporating evidence from catalogs, historical judgments, gazettes, and other such articles, the paper provides a full and complete understanding of the history, timeline, and all the different laws that have been put in place for laborers under the guise of social security and whether all such statutes are being used for their intended purpose or if any specific areas can be improved.
Sensitivity of Fusarium Solani to Different Fungicides Under Laboratory Conditions
Authors: - Adeeba Ghalib
Published: December 2023

Dry rot disease caused by Fusarium splan is one of the most common and destructive potato diseases. This fungi causes different colored rots on potatoes. The symptoms of dry rot include mummified and wrinkled tubers. The rotted areas of the potato is brown to black in colour and the rot leads to depression in the tubers.Seed pieces may rot completely.Dry rot inhibits the development of potato sprouts and causes yield losses up to 25% with much greater infection up to 60% during storage. The fungi also contaminate the tubers with mycotoxins. The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of four fungicides namely
Matco, Willonyl, Benlate, and Carbestin,at 100, 250 and 300 ppm against Fusarium splani associated with dry rot in potato. The result shows the difference in the efficacy of all tested fungicides against this pathogen. The application of Benlate, and Carbestin, significantly reduced the mycelial growth of tested Fusarium splan; pathogen followed by willonyl and Benlate, where the total mean of inhibitory effects were 74.64%, 63.13%, 25.73% and 21.74% respectively on 7th day of incubation suggesting Benlate, as a better one to use for the management of Fusarium solani.
