Authors: Demchenko Iryna , Kalynovska Iryna , Kovtun М.
Published: February 2024

The article outlines the relevance of a social and psychological support and rehabilitation for the children who have suffered from a full-scale military invasion of the Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine. The psycho-traumatic effects of the war on a child’s mental and physical development have been described: stress, anxiety, crisis condition and post-traumatic stress disorder. The social and psychological rehabilitation is determined to be aimed at helping the adults and children, who have survived the trauma, obtain the abilities of mental recovery, the skill to deal with the stress, post-traumatic stress disorder and alerts. The authors pay their attention to the effective implementation of various types of artistic and creative work (art therapy) in a rehabilitation work with children. It provides living through and revealing the negative feelings and preventing the development of post-traumatic stress disorder. Music therapy is determined as an art and therapeutic method of social and psychological rehabilitation which shows a maximum supporting recovery of a child’s positive attitude to himself, society, life, and forming secondary mental disorders (an aptitude to self-isolation, aggression). The article presents specific aspects of the musical compositions use at social and psychological rehabilitation (activating, relaxing, soothing) and emphasizes on Lo-fi hip-hop that is a subgenre of downtempo and combines hip-hop and chillout. The attention is focused on the main calming effect of the lofi music that is provided by both even and aggressive bits and a sound background to deep into the atmosphere of spiritual balance (birdsongs, thunderstorm, wind sounds, the crackle of a fire and others). It is proved that listening to the lofi music is of a significant therapeutic effect, proceeding from the improvement of cognitive functions, the stress reduction and the harmony of emotional state. The aim of the genre lies not in entertaining but helping a person find a calm area in uncontrolled digital and physical environment. Having evaluated the scientists’ attempts to describe the issue, we underline the idea of the organization of children social and psychological rehabilitation who suffered from military operations by means of music therapy instruments, to be within the need of theoretical justification of pedagogical conditions. It is the perspective of a further scientific search.

Authors: Wang Guodong , Li Yang , Zhang Chenggui , Liu Ping , Sun Jianmin
Published: February 2024

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between lumbar erector muscle atrophy and global sagittal imbalance in lumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK) and with postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis.Overview of Literature: Lumbar erector muscle atrophy has been studied in LDK. However, its role in the compensatory mechanism is still under intense discussion, and the role of erector spinae (ES) muscle is always overlooked.Methods: This study enrolled 51 patients with LDK out of 382 patients with adult degenerative spinal deformity. Baseline information was reviewed including demographic data and complications. Sagittal spinopelvic alignments and global imbalance parameters were assessed on full-length X-ray images of the spine. Muscularity and the fatty infiltration area of the ES and multifidus (MF) were measured at the L4/5 level on preoperative magnetic resonance image to evaluate the lumbar erector muscle atrophy. Stratification by sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was performed: group 1 with SVA <100 mm and group 2 with SVA >100 mm, and these groups were compared. Spearman correlation and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze and define risk factors of postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK).Results: Group 2 had lower ES and MF muscularity than group 1. ES muscularity correlated with SVA (r=−0.510, p<0.003), lumbar lordosis (r=−0.415, p<0.018), and postoperative PJK (r=−0.508, p<0.022). MF muscularity did not correlate with the above parameters. Multivariable logistic regression analysis verified ES muscularity (odds ratio [OR], 0.001; p<0.039) and SVA (OR, 1.034; p<0.048) as the risk factors for postoperative PJK.Conclusions: ES atrophy, besides the MF, is an important predictor in distinguishing decompensated LDK from well-compensated ones. It plays an important role in compensatory mechanism, not only correlates with global sagittal imbalance but also ties to PJK after deformity corrective surgery.

Authors: Ko Young Rok , Ahn Dong Ki , Lee Jung Soo , Jung Jong Seo , Lee Young Ho , Kim Yong Ho
Published: February 2024

Study Design: Retrospective case–control study.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of thrombin-containing local hemostatics (TCLH) on postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (POSEH) in biportal endoscopic spinal surgery (BESS). This study compared the incidence of morphometric and symptomatic POSEH with or without TCLH in BESS.Overview of Literature: POSEH is reported not uncommon in BESS when compared with conventional spine surgery (CSS). TCLH achieves hemostasis with a high success rate in CSS. However, few studies have examined the effect of TCLH on BESS.Methods: Patients with and without TCLH were assigned to groups A and B, respectively. POSEH between the two groups was compared morphometrically and symptomatically. The risk factors for symptomatic and morphometric POSEH in BESS were identified.Results: The morphometric POSEH was greater in group B, and the difference was significant (p =0.019). The incidence of symptomatic POSEH was lower in group A with 4.6% (5/109) than in group B with 9.5% (9/95); however, the rate was not significantly different (p =0.136). The morphometric POSEH was classified into two small (hG1 and hG2) and large (hG3 and hG4) and were compared between groups A and B, and the difference was significant (p =0.02). In the multivariable logistic regression, nonuse of TCLH (p =0.004) and preoperative diagnosis of stenosis (p =0.016) were variables found to be significant risk factors of morphometric POSEH.Conclusions: Severe compression of the thecal sac by POSEH is more common in patients without TCLH. The risk of hematoma formation was higher when bilateral decompression was needed and the cut bone surface was more exposed.

Published: February 2024

Study Design: Retrospective clinical trial.Purpose: To establish a morphological classification of the cervical spinal canal using its parameters.Overview of Literature: Cervical spine computed tomography (CT) data of 200 healthy volunteers in 2 years were analyzed. The morphology of the spinal cord was also analyzed.Methods: The median sagittal diameter and transverse diameter of the spinal canal from C2 to C7 were measured on CT images. The ratio of the median sagittal diameter to the transverse diameter was calculated. Accordingly, the spinal canal shape of each segment was classified into four, and the specific criteria of lunar phase classification were determined through linear discriminant analysis based on the ratio of the median sagittal diameter to the transverse diameter. The inter-rater reliability of the classification was explored using Kappa coefficients. Finally, the morphology of the different segments of the cervical spinal canal in healthy volunteers was revised and compared.Results: According to the ratio of the median sagittal diameter and the transverse diameter of the cervical spinal canal, the lunar phase classification of the cervical bony spinal canal was determined as follows: full-moon >0.65, 0.55< convex-moon ≤0.65, 0.46≤ quarter-moon ≤0.55, and residual-moon <0.46. The Kappa values of C2–C7 were 0.851, 0.958, 0.823, 0.927, 0.793, and 0.946, and the Kappa value of all C2–C7 segments was 0.854 that mainly presented two forms of full-moon (76.5%) and convex-moon (23.0%). A quarter-moon spinal canal was mainly distributed in C3, C4, C5, and C6; a residual-moon spinal canal was mainly distributed in C4 and C5; and the morphological distribution of C4 and C5 were similar (p>0.05). The frequency of the spinal canal of the residual-moon type was the highest, and the full-moon (6.5%) and residual-moon (7.5%) types of C7 were rare.Conclusions: The morphological classification of the cervical spinal canal was established to present anatomical variations. The classification showed good inter-rater reliability.
SPANISH LESSONS
Authors: Smith Paul Julian
Published: February 2024

Though unjustly neglected by English-language audiences, Spanish film and television not only represent a remarkably influential and vibrant cultural industry; they are also a fertile site of innovation in the production of “transmedia” works that bridge narrative forms. In Spanish Lessons, Paul Julian Smith provides an engaging exploration of visual culture in an era of collapsing genre boundaries, accelerating technological change, and political-economic tumult. Whether generating new insights into the work of key figures like Pedro Almodóvar, comparing media depictions of Spain’s economic woes, or giving long-overdue critical attention to quality television series, Smith’s book is a consistently lively and accessible cultural investigation.
THE VAMPIRE
Authors: Bohn Thomas M.
Published: February 2024

Even before Bram Stoker immortalized Transylvania as the homeland of his fictional Count Dracula, the figure of the vampire was inextricably tied to Eastern Europe in the popular imagination. Drawing on a wealth of previously neglected sources, this book offers a fascinating account of how vampires—whose various incarnations originally emerged from folk traditions from all over the world—became so strongly identified with Eastern Europe. It demonstrates that the modern conception of the vampire was born in the crucible of the Enlightenment, embodying a mysterious, Eastern otherness that stood opposed to Western rationality.
GIRLS IN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT

Published: February 2024

Many scholars have critiqued the neocolonial assumptions embedded in global development agendas. These often focus on the bodies and lives of poor, racialized adolescent girls in the global south as ideal sites for intervention based on these girls’ potential to multiply investment, interrupt intergenerational poverty, and predict economic growth. Girls in Global Development presents case studies from established and emerging scholars to collectively theorize and examine the concept of “Girls in Development” (GID), a distinctive way of approaching notions of girls and girlhoods in locations around the globe, at various points in history, through a critical feminist lens.
HUMANITARIAN SHAME AND REDEMPTION
Authors: Mogstad Heidi
Published: February 2024

Following the 2015 ‘refugee crisis,’ many different actors emerged to contest or mitigate the EU’s border policies. This book explores the birth and trajectory of a Norwegian volunteer organisation “A Drop in the Ocean”, established by a mother of five with no prior experience in humanitarian work. Drawing on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, Heidi Mogstad examines the organisation’s shifting and contested efforts to ‘fill humanitarian gaps’ in Greece while witnessing and shaming the Norwegian public and politicians into action. Moving beyond existing critiques of humanitarian sentiments like pity and compassion, the book focuses specifically on the work of shame and other ‘negative’ emotions.

STORIES BETWEEN TEARS AND LAUGHTER
Authors: Vojvoda Richard
Published: February 2024

While histories of Czech cinema often highlight the quality of Czechoslovak New Wave films made in the 1960s, post-socialist Czech cinema receives little attention. Through a methodology of historical reception, Stories between Tears and Laughter explores how attitudes towards post-socialist Czech cinema have shifted but still viewed it as popular cinema. By analysing publicity materials, reviews and articles, Richard Vojvoda offers a new perspective on the notions of cultural value and quality that have been shaping the history of post-socialist Czech cinema.
ADOPTION, EMOTION, AND IDENTITY
Authors: Rauchholz Manuel
Published: February 2024

Exploring adoption in the Pacific, this book goes beyond the commonplace structural-functional analysis of adoption as a positive “transaction in parenthood.” It examines the effects it has on adoptees’ inner sense of self, their conflicted emotional lives, and familial relationships that are affected by a personal sense of rejection and not belonging. This account is theoretically rooted in ethnopsychology, based on field work conducted across multiple research sites in the Chuuk Lagoon, its neighboring Chuukic-speaking atolls, and persons from neighboring Micronesian island communities.

By shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Fascism and Nazism, this book examines the ambitious plans for a new European order conceived by Italian intellectuals, historians, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Through expert reconstruction of the debate on this envisaged order’s development, Monica Fioravanzo opens a window into the theoretical arena that shaped relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations and provides insight into how the project was anticipated to unite the Fascist regime in Italy and the Nazi Reich.
EDGES OF NOIR
Authors: Mirabile Michael
Published: February 2024

Edges of Noir challenges the notion that noir film nearly vanished after 1958 until its subsequent “neo-noir” revival between 1973 and 1981. The 1960s, regardless of critical neglect, include some of the most provocative films of the post-World War II decades. Often formally disruptive and experimental, films including Shock Corridor (1963), Mirage (1965), The 3rd Voice (1960), and Point Blank (1967) evoke controversial issues of the era, deriving dynamic influences amongst exploitation cinema, sensationalistic American B movies, and the European New Wave movement. Whether the focus is on nuclear destruction, mind control, or surveillance, late noir films, above all else, vividly portray the collective fears from the time.

Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences (MOSCOW), MIKLOUHO-MACLAY Niсkolay N.
Published: February 2024

The article analyzes the role of Papua New Guinea landowners in the distribution of profits from mining on the ancestral lands of clans (communities), their interaction with business in the implementation of major resource extraction projects, and provides an overview of the mineral resources sector of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea (PNG). Mining continues to drive the economic development of Papua New Guinea to this day. Large-scale extraction of natural resources in the country began after the country gained independence from Australia in 1975. The country with a population of about 10 million people, of whom about 87% live in rural areas, has largely preserved centuries-old traditions, as well as the right to land handed down to them by their ancestors. At the present stage, landowners and local communities are directly involved in the development of the country’s rich subsoil, having a certain share in resource projects, with the support of the government of Papua New Guinea, which is taking measures to legislate the rights of landowners to participate in resource extraction projects.

Published: February 2024

The identification of superior and stable genotypes in any crop for commercial cultivation in farmers’ fields is constrained majorly by the existence of genotype × environment interaction (GEI). The current study aimed to assess the patterns of GEI governing seed and fodder yield, identify stable and high seed and fodder yielding genotypes, besides deciphering the correlation among the them in finger millet genotypes evaluated across twenty environments (ten locations-two years combination) in India. The results revealed that the variance due to genotype, environment and GEI were highly significant (P < 0.001) for seed and fodder yield. The AMMI8 model was adequate to explain the detected variation of seed and fodder yield attributable to GEI. For obvious reasons, the check GPU 67 exhibited relatively higher mean seed and fodder yield and also showed excellent stability across all the environments based on AMMI- and BLUP-model indices. In this study, the seed and fodder yielding ability of the genotypes VR1101 and WN559 was comparable to the checks and had broad adaptation across the test environments. The most representative and discriminative environments for seed and fodder yield were E1 and E9. Seed and fodder yield revealed highly significant positive correlations indicating the possibility of effective selection for these two traits simultaneously. The identified stable and high seed and fodder yielding genotypes VR1101 and WN559 are not just worthy genetic resources, and can be recommended for commercial cultivation after further yield trials. Consequently, the genotype VR1101 is approved for commercial cultivation across South Indian states.

Published: February 2024

Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. is one of economically important member of the Apiaceae family with a tuberous root. Production of this plant is restricted due to seed dormancy and long juvenile time. The objective of this study was to determine the best media and optimum concentration of sucrose for in vitro microtuberization of Black Zira. Therefore, different basal media (Murashige and Skoog (MS), Woody Plant Medium (WPM), Gamborg’s B5, and Gupta and Durzan’s DCR) with 3% sucrose were used for microtuber induction. Then best media was tested by varying concentrations of sucrose (3, 6, 9, and 12%) to increase morphological characteristics diameter and weight of microtubers. The experiment was done in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four treatments and 8 replications per treatment. According to the results obtained in this study, the highest mean of the root length (4.5196 cm), tuber length (1.175 cm), tuber width (0.3575 cm), tuber diameter (4.1 mm), and tuber weight (0.1472 g) after six weeks was observed in the WPM medium. Among the four concentrations of sucrose in WPM medium supplemented with 6% sucrose indicated a better response than the other concentrations in terms of microtuber diameter (7.675 mm), and weight (0.2687 g) average and was found optimum. Therefore, the WPM was recognized as the best medium for micro-tuberization.

Published: February 2024

In present investigation, inter-specific hybridization between two species was carried out using a three-way cross with the aim to study the response of heterotic hybrids for cross-compatibility and to improve the fertility traits of interspecific cross such as pollen viability and density for further introgression of agronomically important traits. The present investigation highlights genotypic variation of for cross-compatibility between S. melongena hybrids and Solanum sisymbriifolium. Among three hybrids, H3 x Solanum sisymbriifolium (4%) and H4 x Solanum sisymbriifolium (1.5%) showed compatibility for fruit set and developed immature seeds only. The embryo rescue from 25 day-old fruits and in vitro culture on ½ MS medium supplemented with 2mg/L–1BAP showed germination. H5 x S. sisymbriifolium showed 49.4% embryo germination and produced four complete plantlets. Furthermore, all plants were morphologically variable for the presence or absence of spines, flower clustering, slightly curved/straight stigma tip, and flower color. The regenerated plantlets were intermediate to cultivated and wild parents for the quantitative traits. Two SSR markers viz., emg01A17, emh11001 and emb01E03 also confirmed the hybridity of three-way cross plants. Among four interspecific plants, one established high pollen viability (78.5%), while others were partial-fertile (62.8%) and all carried low pollen density (69-299 pollen/ 1cm2) at anthesis. Inbreeding and backcrossing of these plants to both cultivated and wild parents remained unsuccessful. This is the first report of developing a partially-fertile three-way cross between S. melongena and S. sisymbrifollium via embryo rescue.

Published: February 2024

Seed vigor, an important characteristic of seed quality attributes, determines the rate of early, rapid, uniform germination, emergenceand growth of strong seedling in any environmental condition. In the present set of experiment, 44 rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties wereassessed for different seed vigor component traits. For evaluation of these traits, basic statistics, correlation, principal component (PC) andcluster analysis were carried out to obtain genetic diversity for seed vigor traits and early seedling vigor among rice varieties  specifically to select the best varieties and important seed vigor traits for its possible use in future rice breeding programme. The estimation of descriptive statistics of 20 quantitative seed vigor-related traits indicated existence of variability among the varieties. The 44 varieties were grouped into five clusters on the basis of average linkage and dendogram. Varieties in Cluster I are considered to possess very high vigor traits and cluster IV with least seed vigor traits. Principal component (PC) analysis showed first 5 PCs having Eigen value >1 explaining 77.01% of the total variation with different seed vigor traits. In the biplot analysis between PCs 1 and 2, the varieties remained scattered in all four quadrants, showing large genetic variation in quantitative traits. Seed vigor index-I, seed vigor index-II, seed dry weight, shoot length, reserve mobilization, germination percentage, dehydrogenase, mean germination rate, germination speed, and mean germination time contributed to high variability among the varieties. The seed vigor traits were positively correlated with germination percentage, shoot length, seedling dry weight, speed of germination, mean germination rate, reserve mobilization, superoxide dismutase, dehydrogenase and alpha-amylase. The positive correlation among these seed vigor-contributing traits suggested that these characteristics are important for direct selection of high seed vigor varieties and early emergence.

Animal health is of utmost importance, whereas green fodder supply is limiting day-by-day. In the present investigation, eight diversewheat varieties were crossed in half-diallel fashion and were analysed along with 28 F1s for green fodder digestibility and crude protein in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The parental genotype NIAW34 showed the highest organic matter (91.65%), followed by PBW723 (91.47%) and GW322 (91.30%). Acid detergent fiber (ADF), cellulose and lignin contents ranged from 26.86-33.89%, 2.59–28.02% and 2.91–4.40%, respectively for parents and hybrids. Hemicellulose content varied from 27.60–36.58% and the parents namely, HI1544 (30.52%) and GW322 (29.91%) were found promising with the hybrids viz., HD3086/DBW110, HI1544/NIAW34 and GW322/NW5054. The study revealed that wheat green fodder quality was comparable with the sorghum and maize crops.Organic matter and neutral detergent fiber revealed a preponderance of additive gene action, whereas protein and nitrogen contents,cellulose, lignin, acid detergent fiber and hemicellulose showed an average degree of dominance more than unity. The narrow leaf wheat genotype DBW110 exhibited higher cellulose and lignin contents, providing insight for on-field selection. The per se performance and genotype by trait biplot revealed the potential of wheat variety, GW322 for multiple fodder digestibility traits.

Near-isogenic lines (NILs) are useful genetic resources for basic genetic studies and further understanding of associated molecularmechanisms. The NILs can be developed through standard methods like backcross breeding or advanced generation segregatinglines. The present study aimed the development of NILs for leaf rust resistance from the advanced generation segregating lines withresidual heterozygosity. Advanced generations segregating lines/heterogeneous inbred families (HIFs) segregating for contrastinginfection types (IT ;1 and 3) for leaf rust were identified from the recombinant inbred lines (RILs) between cross of T. timopheevii derivedintrogression line Selection G12, a resistant parent and a susceptible parent Agra local. The molecular analysis using polymorphic SSRmarkers between parents indicated a high level of similarity with 97.07 and 96.49% resemblance among the contrasting NIL pairs fromHIF1 and HIF5, respectively.

Chickpea being an important food legume crop is able to fix the atmospheric nitrogen and form root nodules that support biologicalnitrogen fixation- a sustainable alternative for nitrogen supply to agriculture worldwide. In order to support findings on nodule formation in chickpeas, a diverse core set of 300 chickpea genotypes, including four checks, was evaluated for morphological and nodulation traits in four different environments. The maximum genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for a number of nodules, nodule fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, and number of seeds per plant. The heritability for most of the characters ranged from 26.56 for days to 50% flowering to 99.61 for a number of pods per plant. The genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficient analysis revealed that the number of nodules was positively correlated with seed yield. Further, seed yield was partitioned into direct and indirect effects at genotypic and phenotypic levels through path coefficient analysis. Significant genotypic correlations and direct positive effects were exhibited by a number of nodules and number of pods per plant on grain yield. Based on the D2 statistics, the number of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant, shoot fresh weight and number of nodules have been identified as top-ranking yield contributing traits. The genotypes ICC1013 and ICC16569 for a number of nodules and ICC1049 for the trait number of seeds per plant were identified as potential stable donors for the respective traits with high mean yield, heritability and genetic advance across the locations and can be used as donors in the chickpea breeding programs for increasing biological nitrogen fixation and enhancement of the crop productivity.
