De-“Constructing” Test Validation
Authors: Sireci Stephen
Published: June 2023

Construct validity theory presents the most comprehensive description of “validity” as it pertains to educational and psychological testing. The term “construct validity” was introduced in 1954 in the Technical Recommendations for Psychological Tests and Diagnostic Techniques (American Psychological Association [APA], 1954), and subsequently elucidated by two members of the 1954 committee — Cronbach and Meehl (1955). Construct validity theory has had enormous impact on the theoretical descriptions of validity, but it was not explicitly supported by the last two versions of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (American Educational Research Association [AERA] et al., 1999, 2014). In this article I trace some of the history of the debate regarding the importance of construct validity theory for test val- idation, identify the essential elements of construct validity theory that are critical for validating the use of a test for a particular purpose, and propose a framework for test validation that focuses on test use, rather than test construct. This “de-constructed” approach involves four steps: (a) clearly articulating testing purposes, (b) identifying potential negative consequences of test use, (c) crossing test purposes and potential misuses with the five sources of validity evidence listed in the AERA et al. (2014) Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, and (d) prioritizing the sources of validity evidence needed to build a sound validity argument that focuses on test use and consequences. The goals of deconstructed validation are to embrace the major tenets involved in construct validity theory by using them to develop a coherent and comprehensive validity argument that is comprehensible to psychometricians, court justices, policy makers, and the general public; and is consistent with the AERA et al. (2014) Standards.

It is critical for higher education institutions to align with employers in developing, signaling, and documenting skills needed for the modern workforce. This article provides a review on the current skills trend in the workforce, presents findings collected from in-depth interviews of representatives from 41 higher education institutions and 28 employers, and discusses the implications for academic to career transitions.
Men in Higher Education: A Gender Crisis in the United States?
Authors: LIU OU LYDIA , Bridgeman Brent , Fishtein Daniel
Published: June 2023

Men’s significant underrepresentation in U.S. colleges has attracted widespread attention. As of 2021, men make up only 40.5% of the college enrollments. Given the proven economic and social benefits of a college degree, men’s lack of a college degree is projected to generate detrimental effects to the U.S. economy and society, as well as bring missed opportunities for individuals. We review the gender composition at various degree levels, discuss possible impacts of men’s underrepresentation, and analyze underlying reasons of men’s low college enrollment. We also review strategies that institutions use to attract more male applicants. Despite women’s overrepresentation in college enrollment, efforts to promote gender equality should continue, as females are still underrepresented in high-paying and high-ranking positions, in both academic and corporate settings.

"Profoundly Cosmopolitan of Heart and Spirit"?
Authors: Leu Hav P.
Published: June 2023

Germany was a member of the League of Nations from 1926 to 1933. During that time, there were Germans employed at the Secretariat, and its Information Section, which had the greatest German presence, opened a small office to represent the League in Berlin. The League was founded on liberal internationalist ideals and its Covenant included a revolutionary article that opened all positions up to men and women equally. A biographical study of three German individuals associated with the Section and office reveals that ideological commitment to the League was not a given among all German employees, and gives insight into the interplay of gender, class and national – or international – identity. It also shows how the realities of who was employed in the Secretariat, and why, often hinged – despite the League’s ideological basis and the Covenant’s promise – on pragmatic and political considerations.
Staffing the International Civil Service
Authors: Nedergaard Jacob
Published: June 2023

This article examines how nationality influenced recruitment of the highest-ranking officials to three of the smaller, political sections in the League of Nations Secretariat during the organization’s most successful years between 1922 and 1930. From three, separate case-studies, it is shown that although the official policies favored the hiring of nationals from underrepresented member states, other factors such as the individual section’s autonomy and policy field further complicated the process of finding the right nationals for vacant positions. This meant that the established protocols for recruitment were oftentimes ignored or circumvented in attempts to guarantee the most suitable candidates.
"This Vilest of Trades"
Authors: Jensen Sebastian Vang
Published: June 2023

This article examines the League of Nations’ official inquiry into the international question of trafficking, integral to their wider anti-trafficking campaign of the 1920’s. Through this, it assesses the consequences of employing external experts drafted from activist non-governmental organizations to conduct large-scale international research projects. In doing so it argues that the League’s official standards of unbiased data collection and knowledge production was somewhat compromised and that the leaders of the external research group used this official inquiry as a form of trojan horse to challenge and undermine the legitimacy of the system of regulated prostitution. Furthermore, this article unfolds how the research constructed new systems of knowledge about the nature of prostitution, that in turn positioned the system as a global threat with the potential to degenerate the future of humanity.

Introducción: El sangrado mayor es la complicación más importante del tratamiento antitrombótico en el síndrome coronarioagudo (SCA), y se asocia a mayor mortalidad. Evaluar el riesgo de sangrado es un desafío. La utilidad del Orbit Bleeding score(ORBIT) para evaluar el riesgo de sangrado en SCA ha sido poco estudiada.Objetivo: Evaluar al ORBIT como predictor de sangrado mayor en pacientes internados por SCA en los que se decide la anticoagulación como parte de la estrategia antitrombótica.Materiales y métodos: Se incluyeron en forma retrospectiva pacientes internados en dos unidades coronarias con diagnósticode SCA que recibieron anticoagulación como parte de la terapia antitrombótica. A todos se les calcularon los scores CRUSADE,ACTION-GWTG y ORBIT con los datos clínicos del ingreso. Se analizo el punto primario de sangrado mayor, definido como una clasificación de BARC 3 o 5.Resultados: Se incluyeron 762 pacientes. El sangrado mayor se presentó en el 3.4%. En el análisis univariado los tres scores fueron predictores de sangrado mayor, mientras que en el multivariado sólo el ORBIT fue predictor independiente de sangrado mayor, con OR 2,46, IC95% 1,61-3,97, p <0,001. El área bajo la curva ROC fue de 0,70, 0,68 y 0,80 para los scores ACTIONGWTG, CRUSADE y ORBIT, respectivamente. El ORBIT presento una mayor área bajo la curva que el CRUSADE (p = 0,03) sin diferencias significativas con el ACTION-GWTG (p = 0,06) Conclusiones: El ORBIT fue el único predictor independiente de sangrado mayor, con una mejor capacidad de discriminaciónque el CRUSADE, y tendencia a mejor capacidad que el ACTION-GWTG.
The Root Causes of Lumbar Canal Stenosis: An Insight with a Narrative Review
Authors: Jaiswal Ankit , Bukhari Rameez , Upadhyay Prateek
Published: June 2023

In the older population, lumbar spinal stenosis is a frequent degenerative condition that can cause clinical symptoms such as neurogenic claudication or sciatica, either with or without low back pain. Anatomically, there are three different forms of lumbar spinal stenosis: central, foraminal, and lateral recess. The relationship between Ligamentum Flavum (LF) hypertrophy and mechanical stress, as seen in segmental instability or disc space expansion, and their correlation with lumbar facet joint arthropathy is still not clear. This review places particular emphasis on the causes like LF hypertrophy, lumbar segmental instability, lumbar segmental motion, disc degeneration, lumbar spine facet joint orientation, facet joint tropism and facet joint Osteoarthritis (OA) in Lumbar Canal Stenosis (LCS) studied in various different studies discovered in various other search databases. The present research will also help surgeons and radiologists to interpret neuroradiological data appropriately for surgery as well as non surgical treatment and get a better knowledge of the architecture of these structures and how they appear on neuroimaging investigations for further proper and apt management of LCS. Additionally, it would assist in creating a diagnostic algorithm for better functional results.

Introduction: Providing a better analgesia in the postoperative period improves the overall outcome in any surgical procedure in terms of better patient satisfaction, early recovery and shorter hospital stay. Multimodal analgesia using α 2 agonists like clonidine and dexmedetomidine along with local anaesthetics via intraperitoneal route had been proved to provide better analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Aim: To evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of low dose 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine via intravenous (i.v.) and intraperitoneal (IP) route in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Materials and Methods: This was a randomised prospective study carried out at the Department of Anaesthesiology, BLDE (Deemed to be University) Shri BM Patil Medical College, Hospital, and Research Centre, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India from December 2020 to September 2022. The study comprised of 99 patients of either gender, with American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) Grade-I or II, were randomly allocated into three groups using computer generated randomised slips with 33 in each group (Group IV, Group IP, Group C). Group C (Control) patients received 30 mL of Normal Saline (NS) i.v. and 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine IP, Group IV patients received 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine infusion i.v. in 30 mL NS over 10 minutes and 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine, IP. Group IP patients received 30 mL NS IV and 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine in 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine IP. The time of rescue analgesia, total consumption of diclofenac in 24 hours, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours was compared among the three groups. Side-effects of the study drugs especially hypotension and bradycardia were monitored. All the data was analysed using statistical tests (Independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Chisquare test). The p-value was found to be statistically significant (p<0.005). Results: The VAS score was found to be consistently high in control group at all given time intervals, and significantly low in both i.v. and IP groups which were comparable. The Group IV had the longest mean time for rescue analgesia (180.91±41.617 minutes), followed by the Group IP (106.06±8.269 minutes), and the Group C (55.00±6.960 minutes). The consumption of total rescue analgesic (diclofenac) was determined to be highest in the Group C (241.82±30.767 mg) and lowest in the Group IP (115.30± 30.896 mg). Conclusion: The total consumption of diclofenac and VAS score was less in intraperitoneal dexmedetomidine was found to be effective in producing postoperative analgesia and can be considered as an effective alternative

Published: June 2023

Super straw management system is a machine in which an additional equipment attached   with combine harvester so it cut standing stubble in small pieces on the soil surface in which  crop harvesting and  residue management both can be done in a single operation. A research involving 120 farmers who were adopters (60 adopters) and  non adopters (60 non adopters) of the Super straw Management system was conducted in rural areas of the Fatehabad district of the Indian state of Haryana in 2021–2022.  This paper's main goal is to investigate Super Straw Management System adoption as a viable, innovative solution to rice residue burning in rice-wheat cropping systems, as well as the socioeconomic effects of adoption on farmer’s livelihoods. The reasons for not implementing the super straw management system were also evaluated. According to the findings, medium adoption of SMS was discovered among farmers (41.67%), followed by low adoption among farmers (38.33%) and high adoption among just 20% of the farmers. Factors like age, size of land holding, size of family, annual income, participation in social organisations, media exposure, and socioeconomic status were found significantly associated with adoption of SMS among farmers. While caste, level of education, the family's secondary occupation, and the type of family were not found to be significant with farmers' adoption levels, Results about the reasons why the Super Straw Management System was not adopted clearly demonstrated that there is no alternative for ex-situ straw management while using SMS (rank I). At the same time, farmers (rank II) did not show a readiness to pay additional custom charges. More than 3/5 of the respondents agreed that conventional combines are easily available for hiring (rank III); combine harvesters with SMS used more fuel (3 to 3.25 l/ha) and required higher engine power (8–10 hp) than conventional combine harvesters. Cumulative socio-economic impact of SMS was reported  increased  with respect to increase in decision making powers  which is  ranked Ist,  followed by increased in  extension contacts (IInd rank) and change in attitude for  quality education of children (IIIrd rank).
Issues and Challenges Faced by Small and Marginal Farmers during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Divya G. , Balasubramaniam P. , Devi M. Nirmala , Mohanraj V.
Published: June 2023

Agriculture is an important sector of Indian economy as it contributes about 17 per cent to the total GDP and provides employment to over 60 per cent of the population. Among 60 per cent of total workforce, 82 per cent of farmers in India were small and marginal farmers. Sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic impacts small and marginal farmers to carry out their farming activities. Hence, it is important to study various issues faced by small and marginal farmers during COVID-19 pandemic. The study has been conducted in North western zone of Tamil Nadu and a total sample size of 320 has been fixed for the study based on Cochran’s sample size estimation. Problem confrontation Index (PCI) has been computed to measure various issues faced by small and marginal farmers during COVID-19 pandemic. From the calculated PCI value, it has been concluded that the farmers faced major issues such as wastage of the produce (919), drop in regular farm income (915), hike in input price (868), limited government support (844) and lack of access to market (816). Hence, the government should take necessary steps to ensure fair functioning of local mandis and markets in terms of open auction, price negotiations and logistics, proper unloading and storage of farmers’ perishable produce to overcome their issues to stabilize their standard of living.

Authors: Said Eglal M. , Bahnasy M. I.
Published: June 2023

Aims: Mangroves are woody trees or shrubs that grow in the intertidal zone and are distributed along tropical and subtropical coasts. These plants are resilient to various environmental challenges; they are also one of the most efficient terrestrial and coastal ecosystem for carbon fixation and storage. In recent years, mangrove reforestation has attracted much attention as a strategy to reduce the effects of climate change. In Egypt, there are two types of mangroves, Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina, between 30°N and 30°S of the equator. Mangrove management presents a difficult task, particularly when it comes to managing molecular mangroves for long-term sustainability. With the impact of human activity on mangrove ecosystems increasing each year, molecular research on mangrove correlates remains to be conducted. For this reason, using DNA barcoding technology to quickly identify species, mangrove ecosystems may be protected.

Methodology: In this work, the two Egyptian mangrove species were assessed through morphological, cytological, and molecular approaches. Two universal DNA barcodes, rbcL and ITS, were examined to identify their efficacy for Egyptian mangrove species identification and phylogenetic reconstruction.

Results: According to pairwise alignments, the rbcL region had the highest level of variability (73.2%), whereas the ITS region was the least variable (11.96%). The selected Egyptian mangrove species can potentially be distinguished by barcoding loci rbcL and ITS due to the existence of distinctive variable sites.

Organizations operating in the business environment require a plan to help them get a competitive edge and improve their performance. Evidently, the constantly rising level of competition and the influx of new enterprises into the cooperative societies sector make it necessary for every cooperative society to develop strategies in order to ensure better and more enhanced performance. Specifically, the goal of this study was to determine the impact of growth strategies on the performance of coffee cooperative societies in Tharaka Nithi County. This was guided by the objective; to examine the influence of market development on the performance of coffee cooperative societies in Tharaka Nithi County. It was based on agency theory. A descriptive study technique was used, with a target population of 340 respondents drawn from the 34 coffee cooperative societies in Tharaka Nithi County as the participants. The population was divided into three separate strata, each of which consisted of a large number of highly trained society employees who will work together as a team. In order to choose a representative sample of 204 respondents from each stratum, stratified random selection was used. In order to gather information, respondents were asked to complete self-administered questionnaires. Data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics like mean as well as standard deviation and inferential statistics which included correlation and regression analysis. The research discovered a significant positive association between diversification strategy, product development strategy, market penetration strategy, market development strategy and performance of coffee cooperative societies in Tharaka Nithi County. Its regression analysis found that the collective usage of growth strategies was responsible for 45.6 percent of the variations in performance of these coffee cooperative societies. Based on the findings, diversification strategy had the largest impact on performance followed by market penetration while market development and product development strategy had the least influence on performance of coffee cooperative societies in Tharaka Nithi County. It is therefore, recommended that managers and shareholders of the cooperative societies that are yet to adopt growth strategies should adopt them to remain competitive and profitable in this turbulent business environment.

Background: Caustics are corrosive substances whose ingestion causes tissue damage that can range from mucosal irritation to total necrosis or even perforation of the affected digestive or bronchial segment. Ingestion is often accidental in children and a real public health problem in low and middle income countries, particularly in Africa.

Aims: The main objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and scalable aspects of accidental ingestions of caustics in the medical emergency department of the National Children's Hospital Center Albert Royer (NCHCAR) in Dakar.

Methods: This is a descriptive and analytical study over a 12-month period, from March 2020 to February 2021. The study population was children aged 0 to 15 years who were seen in consultation or hospitalized following a caustic product ingestion.

Results: During the study period, we included 31 children for accidental ingestion of caustics out of a total of 900 hospitalized children, i.e., a hospital frequency of 3.44% (31/900). The mean age of the children was 21.29±13.10 months and the extremes were 8 and 60 months. The age group [12-18 months] was the most represented (25.81%). Boys were predominant (51.61%) with a sex ratio of 1.07. Sodium hypochlorite (bleaching water) was the main product ingested (64.52%); caustic soda concerned 22.58% of children. More than half (77.45%) of the children were symptomatic with mainly digestive signs including oral ulcerations (41.93%) and vomiting (38.71%). The oesogastroduodenal fibroscopy performed in 19 of the 31 children (61.29%) was normal in 14 children (73.68%). Five children had endoscopic lesions of which 2 cases were stage I and 3 cases stage IIa of the Zargar classification. Initial management was exclusively medical with antisecretory drugs (70.97%), analgesics (38.71%) and corticosteroids (35.48%). The evolution was favorable for the majority of patients. One child presented a dysphagia to solids after 4 weeks of evolution treated by endoscopic dilatation.  

Conclusion: Accidental ingestions of caustics are frequent in emergency departments. They generally affect children under 24 months of age. The management is medical in the uncomplicated forms which are more and more predominant. Prevention is based on education and awareness of the dangers of caustic products.

The current experiment was carried out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) Polasa, Jagtial during rabi 2020-21, with the goals of (1) assessing the resistance of Indian mustard germplasm lines to powdery mildew disease and (2) analysing the yield and its contributing traits, days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height in centimetres, primary branch number, secondary branch number, siliqua number and siliqua length in centimetres. The results of the analysis of variance showed that there were statistically significant differences between the genotypes and their characteristics. The genotypes viz., DRMR-150-35, Black gold, and RH-9304 performed best on average out of 50 different varieties for twelve different characteristics, including high seed yield per plant, high 1000-seed weight and high harvest index.Two resistant genotypes (GM-3 and Swarna Jyothi) and nine genotypes (Pusa mahak, PM-25, PM-26, PDZM-31, Pusa tarak, Pusa bahar, Ashirwad, DRMR-601, and JM-2) demonstrated considerable resistance reaction to the powdery mildew disease after being screened against the illness. We can solve the disease effect problem by utilizing these germplasm lines as donors in future breeding programme to develop powdery mildew resistant lines.

Published: June 2023

Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development, but excessive iron uptake can cause iron toxicity, leading to damage to plant cell membranes, reduced growth, yield, and overall health. This review paper discusses the issue of iron toxicity in plants, a common problem that affects crops such as rice, soybean, wheat, vegetables and is a common issue in Southeast Asia, Brazil, Africa, Australia, and the United States.  Iron toxicity is more likely to occur in soils with high pH, high organic matter, or elevated levels of available iron. It discusses the various mechanisms that cause iron toxicity in plants, such as competition with other essential elements, oxidative stress, and changes in gene expression and phytohormones. The excess iron ions can cause damage to the root cells and the plasma membrane, leading to oxidative stress and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can cause damage to cellular components, such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, leading to the death of root cells. Plants have specific mechanisms to take up iron, including transport proteins that are responsible for moving Fe2+ across the plasma membrane of root cells. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of iron toxicity on plant growth and development, including stunted growth, reduced root development, decreased water and nutrient uptake, and reduced photosynthetic activity.  Highlights the importance of proper management of iron levels in soils to prevent iron toxicity and promote healthy plant growth.

Published: June 2023

Groundnut, a major pulse crop also grown as an oil seed over 90 countries worldwide, is important to the Indian economy. The states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu are the main producers of groundnut. In 2021, disease incidence with symptoms similar to collar rot was reported from Jaipur district of Rajasthan. The fungal strain was isolated from the collar region of susceptible groundnut variety TAG-24. White colonies with mycelia were observed in 3-4 days which eventually turned dark brown in color. Pathogenicity tests were performed on healthy groundnut and collar rot symptoms developed within 7-8 days of inoculation. Sequencing of PCR products amplified with the18S rRNA (NS1F-NS8R) and ITS (NS1F-ITS4R) primers indicated       99.4% and 100% identity respectively with a reference strain of Aspergillus niger CBS 554.65 (ATCC 16888) in the NCBI-Genebank database. Based on the morphological and molecular characteristics, the fungal pathogen was identified as Aspergillus niger and submitted to Gene Bank with the accession nos. ON954789 and OQ653131. The the culture is submitted to NCMR-NCCS (accession number MCC 9892).
