Authors: Khairunnisa Firza , Saumi Fazrina , Amelia Amelia
Published: September 2022

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a dangerous disease transmitted by the Dengue virus. In 2020, along with the occurrence of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, the number of dengue cases in Indonesia was high. One of the provinces recorded as the highest suspected dengue fever area is North Sumatra. This is evidenced in October 2019 North Sumatra became the province with the highest suspected dengue fever in Indonesia with a total of 250 cases. Based on the medical record data of patients with DHF at the Dr. Pirngadi General Hospital, Medan in 2019, the factors thought to affect the rate of survival of DHF patients were age, gender, platelet count, and hematocrit levels. Furthermore, survival analysis was carried out using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox Proportional Hazard Regression with the suspected factors to determine the estimated survival function for patients with DHF and to determine the factors that affect the recovery rate of patients with DHF. Based on the survival function curve, it was found that the curve decreased slowly because many patients with DHF were censored and it was found that the chances of survival of patients with DHF were relatively high, ranging from 1 to 0.6352. Based on the selection of the best model, it was found that only the age variable had a significant effect on the model.
One of the Hanafi Jurists (Faqihs) of First Period, Ebû Zeyd ed-Debûsî, and His Book on Sufism "al-Emedü'l-Aqsa"

Published: September 2022

Asr-ı saadet ve onu takip eden birkaç asırda İslami ilimlerin net bir şekilde taksim edildiği ve birbirlerinden kalın çizgilerle ayrıldığı söylenemez. Bundan dolayı ilk dönem Müslüman âlimlerin genelde bu ilimlerin tamamını tahsil ettikleri ve farklı alanlarda eserler telif ettikleri görülür. Daha sonra İslam dininin temel hükümleri genel olarak itikad/akaid, amel ve ahlak şeklinde üç grupta değerlendirilmiştir. Bunlardan itikadî konular İslami ilimler içerisinde Akaid ve Kelam ilminin, amelî konular Fıkıh ilminin ve ahlak alanı da Tasavvuf ilminin uğraş alanı olmuştur. İlimlerin tasnif edilmesi ile her bir ilim dalında temayüz etmiş ilim adamları ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. Bununla beraber ilimlerin farklı kategorilerde ele alınmaya başlandığı dönemlerde de bazı âlimlerin yine İslami ilimlerin farklı dallarında eserler yazdıkları, bazı âlimlerin ise daha çok derinleştiği alanda eser telif ettikleri görülmektedir. Hanefî fakihi olan Debûsî’nin (ö. 430/1039) de fıkhın fürû ve usul alanında öne çıkmış olmakla birlikte tasavvuf/ahlak konusunda da derin bilgiye sahip olduğu bu alanda kaleme aldığı “el-Emedü’l-Aksâ” adlı eserinden anlaşılmaktadır. O, bu eserinde ele aldığı tasavvufî konuları sûfî müelliflerden hiç de geri kalmayacak şekilde ortaya koymakta, kişiyi felaha veya azaba götürecek amelleri ayrıntılı olarak açıklamaktadır. Debûsî, ele aldığı konularla ilgili açıklamalarında konuya dair birçok ayet ve hadise de eserinde yer vermektedir. Bu konuda dikkat çeken bir husus ise Debûsî’nin bu eserinde, Hz. Peygambere aidiyeti konusunda şüpheler barındıran, muhaddislerce zayıf, hatta uydurma sayılan bir kısım rivayetleri doğrudan Hz. Peygambere nispet ederek aktarmasıdır ki, bu husus bir kısım tasavvuf kaynaklarında da sık rastlanan bir durumdur. Bu şekilde eleştiri konusu olabilecek bazı hususlara rağmen Debûsî’nin kaleme aldığı ve genel olarak tasavvufa dair konuları işlediği el-Emedü’l-aksâ isimli eseri, birçok yönüyle ele alınmaya ve kendisinden istifade edilmeye değer önemli bir kaynak konumundadır. Aynı şekilde bu eser, genel olarak fakihliği ile tanınmış olan Debûsî’nin tasavvufî yönünü de ortaya koyması yönüyle dikkat çekicidir.
Introduction—New Religious Movements and Violence: A Typology

JRV’nin bu sayısı yeni dini hareketler ve şiddet arasındaki çoklu ilişkiyi resmeden vaka çalışmalarına adanmıştır. Bu girişte, bu ilişkilerin tipolojik tetkikini, YDH’ler tarafından — kendi üyelerine, muhaliflere ve eleştirenlere, rakip dini grupların bağnaz kesimine ve genelde devlet veya topluma — karşı işlenen şiddet eylemleriyle YDH’lerin bizzat mağduru olduğu şiddet eylemleri arasında ayrım yapmayı önermekteyim. Son olarak YDH’lere atfedilen, suçların aslında hayali olması gerçekte "suç" teşkil edecek eylemler olmaması veya kamu yetkililerinin de içinde olduğu başka kişiler tarafından işlenmesi nedeniyle aslında masum oldukları bir şiddet eylemleri tipolojisi de öneriyorum.

Poetic Naqshi-Khalidi Silsilename of Yanyalı Hafız Refîʽ Efendi
Authors: GÖKDEMİR Atila
Published: September 2022

Silsilenames are written documents pointing out the hierarchical structure of a dynasty, generation, professional or the genealogy of a sect. Poets in the field of Turkish Islamic literature wrote works in verse silsilename, although not as intense as other literary genres. Poets who were in the position of sheikh or who belonged to a sect showed more interest in this literary genre. While some of the verse silsilenames, which are mostly written in mathnawi, qasida or qitʽa style, are standalone works, some of them are included in a sufi book or a diwan. Although there are silsilenames containing the successions of sultans, viziers, sayyids and sheriffs and various professionals, it is seen that these poems mostly have a mystical content. In this respect, silsilenames are among the biographical works of Turkish Islamic literature and serve as the main source that sheds light on the history of Sufism in particular. The purpose of writing the silsile-names, which are included in the religious-mystical-didactic works group, is to inform the followers about the followers of the sect, and since the effort to arouse artistic concerns and aesthetic feelings remains in the background, it is often encountered that there are defects in aruz prosody. In this study, the verse Nakşibendî-Hâlidî silsilename, which is included in 19th century author and mystic Mekteb-i Sultani teacher Yanyalı Hâfız Abdussamed Refîʽ Efendi’s mystical book named Rehber-i Hak, will be examined. In the study, first of all, the name of the poem, the date of its writing and the reason will be discussed. The identifications about the life and mystical personality of Yanyalı Hâfız Abdussamed Refîʽ Efendi, who came to the forefront with the books he wrote in the fields of sufism, creed, tajwid, sarf, etc.and his guidance activities, will be shared. Afterwards, the form and content of the silsilename, which was written with the aim of teaching the followers of Naqshi/Khâlidî sheiks by emphasizing their distinctive features, will be examined. Finally, the transcript of the verse will be given. This study, which contains important information about Khalidiyya and is thought to contribute to the studies on the history of Sufism in the 19th century, is important in terms of revealing a poem belonging to the silsile-name type.
Un inedito di Giulio Claro (1525-1575): il «Trattato di duello»
Authors: Cavina Marco
Published: September 2022

Giulio Claro è universalmente noto come uno dei padri fondatori della scienza moderna del diritto criminale. Il saggio sul duello, che si offre qui alle stampe – sinora inedito in un manoscritto della Biblioteca di San Lorenzo de El Escorial – si segnala, fra l’altro, per illuminare di una luce nuova lo spirito con cui il Claro osservava e concepiva la società e il diritto del suo tempo. Nel trattato sul duello, l’acceso interesse per il diritto tradizionale del ceto nobiliare e per le modalità di soluzione dei conflitti intracetuali lo individua – insieme a una inedita vena laica e a un disinvolto utilizzo della lingua volgare – come nobiluomo del proprio tempo, profondamente calato nella propria cultura di ceto. Ne deriva un quadro assai più sfumato della sua immagine ufficiale e corrente di giurista dotto e alfiere della giustizia d’apparato fra trono e altare. Ma il trattato sul duello appare anche estremamente suggestivo per le notizie inedite sul diritto tradizionale nobiliare e sulle relative pratiche giuridiche esperienziali, di cui Giulio Claro si rivela profondo e acuto conoscitore e maestro.
Ice age composition in the Barents sea
Authors: Egorova E. S. , Mironov Y. U.
Published: September 2022

The paper presents the key results of investigating Barents Sea ice age composition during the winter season, from the beginning of ice formation in October to its termination in May. To analyze the seasonal and interannual changes in the amount of ice of different age categories, we used ice charts for the Barents Sea for the period 1997–2021, produced by the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute. The age composition of the ice cover in the Barents Sea is represented by seven standard ice categories (thickness ranges). The areas of ice of different age categories were calculated for a ten-day time interval (in percentage of the total ice area). The results are provided for three parts of the Barents Sea: western, northeastern and southeastern.The interannual changes in the amount of ice in relative fractions of ice of different age categories in the ice cover of the Barents Sea do not show significant trends for the period 1997–2021. Thus, with the observed reduction in the Barents Sea total ice area, the amount of ice of different age categories ranges within the limits of its own natural variability. Therefore, it is impossible to draw a definite conclusion about a decrease in ice cover thickness in the Barents Sea based only on data on the ice age composition over a 24-year period of observations analyzed in this study. On comparing the estimates obtained in this study of the age structure of the ice cover in the Barents Sea with those of the previous studies on this subject, we can argue that its average thickness at the beginning of the 21st century decreased, compared to the period 1971–1976. Taking into account the statistical insignificance of the trends in interannual variations in the amount of ice of different age gradations, one can maintain that quantitative changes in the age structure of the Barents Sea ice cover began earlier than 1997.

Published: September 2022

Supervision is essential to the preparation, support, and retention of teachers and other educational professionals. There are many models and responsibilities of supervisors at all levels. We discuss responsibilities of supervision during teacher preparation, within school contexts, and equity and freedom minded supervision. Additionally, we introduce this special issue. The special issue explores both the complexity and discourse found within situations and contexts pertaining to equity and social justice. Exploring cases of supervision allows for reflection, discussion, and problem solving. Each of these cases call for support and preparation for supervisors as they work within contexts and situations where equitable and just supervision is essential.

Differential expression of GNB4 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published and public data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of GNB4, encoding G protein subunit beta 4, in the motor neurons of patients with ALS. GNB4 was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. GNB4 transcript was present at significantly higher levels in ALS patient motor neurons as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.

In this article, we integrate cultural evolutionary theory with empirical research from developmental psychology, cultural anthropology, and primatology to outline the role of peer learning in the development of complex instrumental skills and behavioural norms. We show that instrumental imitation, contingent teaching, generative collaboration, and the application of selective social learning biases contribute to high-fidelity domain-specific transmission of knowledge between peers. Further, peer learning is persistent across cultures despite norms which favour adult-child transmission in some settings. Comparative research further hints at the possibility that children’s greater motivation to interact with and learn from each other may set us apart from other primates. We conclude by outlining avenues for future research, including how individual characteristics, social networks, motivation, cognition, and developmental changes in these may contribute to cultural evolution.
Neurons and Electromagnetic Waves
Authors: sun zuodong
Published: September 2022

Based on the potassium channel "origami windmill" model, and the conservation law of cell membrane area and ion inequality equation of based on the potassium channel "origami windmill" model, and Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, it is theoretically proved that neurons can generate electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic wave is an energy wave, never disappear. The neurons are equivalent to the built-in antennas of the brain, and information transmission between neurons is conducted wirelessly. The material basis for neurons to generate electromagnetic waves is the result of the exchange of cations on the inner surface of the cell membrane, especially Na+ and K+； The essence of consciousness should be electromagnetic wave. The conclusion that "neurons can produce electromagnetic waves" overturns the view that "electricity→chemistry→electricity" conducts information between neurons, and provides theoretical support for humans to finally solve the mysteries of the brain. At the same time, seven falsificationist methods are given. The brain is a huge gold mine, and it is too important to crack the mystery of the brain. It should be a joint operation of "multiple arms". It should not only be the work of brain scientists, but also the participation of physicists, chemists and mathematicians.

Published: September 2022

Maternal near miss (MNM) is defined as woman who nearly died from complication during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy but survives either due to care she receives or due to chance. Maternal near miss and maternal deaths share many characteristics and pathological processes and MNM being more frequent than death, review of MNM gives us an opportunity to assess the quality of obstetric care in the institutions and area of improvement. As maternal morbidity precedes maternal deaths, the study of near miss cases provides understanding of the determinants of maternal morbidity and mortality and help in reducing it. The aim of this study was to assess the MNM events in our institutions based on WHO organ dysfunction-based criteria. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital in Kathmandu over two years period from July 2020 to June 2022 after taking ethical clearance from Institutional Review Committee. During the study period, there were 3493 live births, 40 maternal near miss cases and no maternal deaths. The MNM ratio was 11.45/1000 live births and the prevalence of MNM was 1.13%. Postpartum hemorrhage 11 (27.5%), early pregnancy complications 8 (20%) and hypertensive disorder of pregnancy 5 (12.5%) were the major contributor of MNM. Coagulation/ Hematological system dysfunction 22 (55%) was the most common organ involved in MNM. ICU admission and blood transfusion more than five units were the common intervention done. Effective use of critical care, evidence-based intervention and timely referral will help to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

This study aims to test and identify the gaps if any between the “Insight” and “current evidence based Knowledge” on the Impact of COVID-19 on the heart. A questionnaire based qualitative cross sectional descriptive study was conducted among Physicians all over Nepal directly or indirectly involved in COVID-19 management. Data was collected via google forms via email or viber/ whattsapp and laid in excel file. Proportion of response from each linked question in two sets containing 11 questions, was compared under the domain “Insight” versus “Current Evidenced based knowledge” having 5 various subtopics. One hundred doctors participated in the study. Overall positive difference of 19% was noted between insight and evidence based knowledge. The highest positive difference was noted regarding atrial fibrillation in COVID-19 (38%), rise in NT pro BNP and its prognosis in heart failure (35%), role of ACE-2 receptor in COVID-19 and acute lung injury (30%) and prevalence and type of arrhythmia in COVID-19 (25%) and lowest (-1%) in regard to preferred reperfusion therapy in STEMI in COVID-19. There were substantial gaps identified between insight and current evidence based knowledge which can be bridged by training, webinar, review article dissemination, peer clinical discussion at government and non-government level in all the states throughout the nation.

Dying at Home: A Privilege for Those with Time and Money
Authors: Deri Armstrong Catherine , Devlin Rose Anne
Published: September 2022

The preference for dying at home, as opposed to in a hospital or other facility, is well established. So too are the cost savings for provincial governments from home deaths. Despite these aligned objectives, many individuals who could and would prefer to die at home find themselves dying in a hospital. In this article, we examine how time and money costs are associated with the home death outcome using Canadian Vital Statistics death records from 2007 to 2019. The focus is on cancer-related deaths, for which patients often have the time to think about and plan the location of death.

Published: September 2022

Data collected in a 2016 survey of veterinary students and professionals from the United States and the United Kingdom who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or asexual (LGBTQ+) indicated that 34.5% (152/440) had experienced difficulties related to their sexual orientation or gender identity at school or work. This study’s objective was to examine narrative responses collected in the 2016 survey and utilize content analysis to explore the research questions: What are the concerns of the LGBTQ+ veterinary population, and how do they attempt to resolve difficulties at work and school? To address these questions, we developed two taxonomies that cataloged (a) the difficulties reported by veterinary professionals and students in the 2016 survey sample and (b) the outcomes of their attempts to resolve these difficulties. The themes related to difficulties that occurred most frequently were exposure to homophobic or transphobic language ( n = 69; 45.4%), outness/staying in the closet (45, 29.6%), and negative emotional outcomes (32, 21.2%). The most common themes that described the outcomes of their attempts to resolve those difficulties were unresolved ( n = 41, 27.0%), changed jobs or graduated (22, 14.5%), and found self-acceptance of acceptance from others (21, 13.8%). Our findings can inform the efforts of schools and colleges of veterinary medicine, professional organizations, and workplaces in targeting improvements to support LGBTQ+ students and professionals and the development of measures tailored to this population.

Authors: Bektaş Murat , Bektaş Murat , Ay Mustafa , Uyar Muhammed Hamdi , Kılıç Muhammed İkbal , KOCA Nevzat , İnce Burak
Published: September 2022

Background: Severe COVID-19 course is associated with higher inflammatory state (cytokine storm) due to the excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Some preliminary results showed higher disease severity as well as mortality in patients with COVID-19 accompanying cancer. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the high dose intravenous anakinra treatment response and outcome in patients with severe and critically ill COVID-19 accompanying cancer.
Method: This observational retrospective study was carried out at a tertiary referral center between 01.09.2021 and 01.02.2022 in Turkey. The study population consisted of two groups as follows; the patients receiving high dose intravenous anakinra (anakinra group) and the patients treated with standard of care (SoC, control group). Anakinra was started in patients who did not respond to steroid therapy at least two days or concomitantly with steroids in patients with higher risk and/or critical illness at admission.
Results: Data of 146 patients in anakinra and 114 patients in control group were analyzed. Median±interquartile range (IQR) patient age was 71 (25) years, duration of hospitalization were 11 (12) days in anakinra group and 65.5 (23) years and 9 (7.3) days in control group, respectively. Fifty-seven (39 %) and 68 (59.6 %) patients had severe, 89 (61 %) and 46 (40.4 %) had critical disease in anakinra and control group, respectively. Overall, ICU admission was in 58 (39.7 %) and 25 (22 %), intubation was in 52 (35.6 %) and 13 (11.4 %) patients, 54 (37 %) and 27 (23.7 %) patients died in anakinra and control group, respectively. Malignancy frequency was 11 % (n=16) in anakinra group and 7 % (n=8) in the control group. In survival analysis, significantly lower survival rate was observed in patients with malignancy than those without in control group (Log-Rank: p=0.002) and patients with malignancy in control group compared to anakinra group (Log-Rank: p=0.013); but did not differ between patients with and without malignancy in anakinra group (Log-Rank: p=0.9).

Authors: Maryam Maryam , Ariono Huan Wendy
Published: September 2022

Observasi Kanker Dunia menyatakan di Indonesia kanker serviks menempati urutan nomor dua dengan total seluruh kasus kanker 9,2% merupakan kanker serivks yang terus meningkat presentase setiap tahunnya karena  penambahan kasus baru. Penting bagi masyarakat waspada terhadap gejala-gejala yang timbul akibat kanker serviks. Kurangnya pengetahuan tentang kanker serviks  sejak dini meningkatkan risiko kematian. Hal ini disebabkan karena penderita mengetahui kanker serviks ketika berada pada stadium lanjut. Maka penting untuk mengetahui gejala penderita kanker serviks dan tingkat stadiumnya agar mendapatkan penanganan yang sesuai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat sistem pakar yang dapat membantu masyarakat mengetahui klasifikasi penyakit stadium kanker serviks. Metode yang digunakan untuk mengembangkan sistem pakar adalah metode decision tree. Salah satu dari teknik analisis keputusan dan metode klasifikasi pada data mining. Proses klasifikasi menggunakan data pasien kanker serviks sebanyak 200 record dengan 12 gejala yang digunakan sebagai acuan.  Metode decision tree yang digunakan memiliki nilai accuracy 85.50%, recall 85.40%, dan precision 86.74%. Sistem pakar  dikembangkan dengan menggunakan frame work flutter. Hasil dari penelitian berupa aplikasi mobile sistem pakar yang telah diuji black box yang dinyatakan valid. Sistem ini dapat membantu masyarakat mengetahui hasil diagnosa dari gejala yang dialami dan tingkat stadium dengan akurat untuk menerapkan penanganan yang sesuai
Rasa Percaya Mahasiswa pada Polisi
Authors: Juniarti Gita , Putri Citra Fransisca Lestari Dano , Talani Noval Sufriyanto
Published: September 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan studi eksperimen pada mahasiswa di Jurusan Komunikasi Universitas Negeri Gorontalo terkait informasi yang berkaitan dengan polisi. Polisi memiliki citra negatif pada masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya generasi Z. Warganet menjadikan media sosial Twitter sebagai salah satu wadah untuk mengkritik polisi dengan tagar #1hari1oknum. Tagar tersebut menunjukkan tentang berita-berita mengenai perilaku beberapa anggota polisi di Indonesia. Selain itu, tagar tersebut juga merupakan upaya dari masyarakat untuk mengkritik polisi. Di sisi lain, polisi juga membuat akun Twitter @divhumas_polri untuk meningkatkan citranya. Penelitian ini menganalisis tentang pengelolaan informasi yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa ketika diberikan informasi-informasi dari akun @divhumas_polri dan informasi berita dengan tagar #1hari1oknum. Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma positivistik, pendekatan kuantitatif, dan teknik penyebaran kuesioner. Jumlah populasinya sebesar 120 mahasiswa yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok eksperimen dan kontrol. Selanjutnya, 60 mahasiswa tersebut dibagi lagi menjadi tiga kelompok berdasarkan tahun ajaran 2021, 2020, dan 2019. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa tidak memiliki rasa percaya yang tinggi terhadap polisi, terutama mahasiswa dari kelompok eksperimen yang menerima treatment berupa berita #1hari1oknum. Temuan pada penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa mengelola informasi tersebut dengan jalur sentral. Sebagai generasi Z yang bergantung pada gadget, mahasiswa tidak langsung percaya pada informasi yang diterima dari @divhumas_polri dan berita #1hari1oknum. Mahasiswa mencari informasi pendukung dari sumber lain, melihat pemilik akun yang menyebarkan informasi, dan memperhatikan tagar yang digunakan. Penelitian ini diharapkan bermanfaat untuk akademisi di Komunikasi, polisi, dan masyarakat.
Political Ramifications of Covid-19
Authors: Touya de Marenne Éric
Published: September 2022

The article examines how the current Covid-19 crisis in France crosses into existing socio-economic, political, and existential crises faced by the nation in recent years. It considers the pandemic’s impact in the context of the criticism that the French government response provoked in opposition parties regarding its preparedness and strategies. Beyond the multiple budget cuts that have affected the health-care system in France in recent years, and significantly lessen, according to critiques, the country’s ability to tackle Covid-19, a growing number of French people link the failure of their government and the rise of violence in society to France’s growing dependence on the EU and the decline of French sovereignty in a globalized world. The pandemic’s impact is measured through the prism of the current socio-economic crisis, triggered by months of confinements and curfews; the rise of unemployment and populism; and what it could mean for the future of democracy.
France in the Times of COVID-19
Authors: Hernández-Laroche Araceli
Published: September 2022

This article examines the role of the public humanities in France during Covid-19 for self-preservation, coping with isolation, understanding an upended world, creating a sense of connection and belonging, and cultivating empathy for others. For instance, in dealing with the existential angst of confinement and economic woes, one of the novels that resonated the most in France and globally was Albert Camus’s The Plague. At the very moment that France enforced measures to restrict access to places of culture, many French people turned to the humanities for comfort and perspective. The pandemic accelerated the need for libraries, galleries, bookstores, museums, concert halls, opera houses, theaters, cinemas, and nightclubs, as well as places of dialogue like cafés and bistros. Dialogue and the cocreation of physical and virtual communities were needed as the spread of false information relating to science, vaccines, and nation exacerbated pre-pandemic divisions in French culture.
Making an Ecological Trap
Authors: Suzuki Wakana
Published: September 2022

Inspired by recent discussions of ‘traps’ among STS and anthropology scholars, this article explores how Japanese scientists capture iPS (induced pluripotent stem) cells to take advantage of their potentialities. Since iPS cells are tiny, unstable, and permeable, humans cannot intervene directly to transform their morphology and nature. Making a proper environment for their thriving—in other words, creating a trap—is the only way for humans to successfully harness and direct the cells’ potentiality. Based on long-term fieldwork in one laboratory, I suggest that the technologies, institutions, and laws that mediate between humans and cells can be understood as a series of ‘ecological traps’. Ultimately, iPS cells resist unilateral standardization and commercialization, forcing humans to adapt their own behaviors and governing systems to accommodate cells.
‘Blood Follows Blood’
Authors: Opande Kennedy , Onyango-Ouma Washington , Subbo Wilfred
Published: September 2022

Among the Luo of Kenya, blood carries potencies that make life. The common saying ‘blood follows blood’ embodies this flow of potencies between different entities (human and non-human) that creates life and changes life-courses. The materiality of blood is agentive here, in the sense that it produces diverse human conditions. Examples are given specifically from life-cycle rituals, prayers, and healing practices of a Luo community in western Kenya. Ultimately, the sentient agency of blood defines the essence and dimensions of life in this case. Our focus on the conditions and processes that make life is contrasted with culturalist approaches, which misrecognize life plurality.
Water in Atmospheric Suspension
Authors: Ojani Chakad
Published: September 2022

By installing fog catchers in the hills around Lima, Peru, conservationists seek to transform fog into water for use in infrastructures of fog oasis reforestation. This article describes the devices and techniques of inquiry through which fog was gradually rendered catchable. These relational engagements with the atmosphere, and the multifarious forms that fog assumed along the way, will be used to reflect on the possibilities and limitations of speculative realism for more-than-human ethnography. Particularly relevant is Graham Harman’s notion of ‘vicarious causation’, which denotes how things located outside thought can be accessed vicariously and partially, for example, through allusion. My contention is that this concept may be productively adapted for ethnographic inquiry if repurposed to fit with an open-ended and relational understanding of the outside.
I Alien
Authors: Pina-Cabral João
Published: September 2022

What is it to be alien? This article considers the debate concerning alienation/de-alienation launched by Hegel and revisited a half-century ago by Jacques Derrida. It examines the systemic reduction of legal rights of presence that migrants in contemporary Europe regularly encounter. Such experiences lead people to undergo a ‘loss of presence’ in the sense that they question their relationship with the world and the people around them. As Ernesto de Martino proposed, these occurrences constitute a ‘subjective alienation’ brought about by ‘objective alienation’. In this way, they impact one’s personal ontogeny, producing what I call a ‘habitus of migrancy’. As a contribution toward ethnographic theory, the article engages the role of long-term self-reflection in anthropological analysis.

A Genre-Based Analysis of Classified Advertisements in Pakistani English Newspapers
Authors: Khan Fatima , Khan Dilawar , Zafar Mehreen
Published: September 2022

The current study analyzing the genre of classified advertisement in Pakistani English Newspapers explains how classified ads actually achieve the objectives of selling and buying. The study also supports how the linguistic features are arranged in ads to persuade the buyers. The Move-structure for sales promotion letters of Bhatia (1993) has been adapted to analyses a corpus of 1008 classified ads in Pakistani English newspapers. The classified advertisements represent three moves; out of them, only Move 3 is optional. The linguistic and structural interpretation of the text ensures the communicative purpose of the texts. The use (100 Percent)of adjectives, intensifiers, nominal, imperatives, and nouns by nominative and objective cases and digits is represented as the most common linguistic feature. But only 10.41 Percent of the use of the pronouns 'you' or 'your’ indicates that the classified advertisements serve as a communicative medium to provide information portals for potential customers. Cook (1992) claims that the linguistic use of advertisement is to provide information for a reason/s.The current study can be a source of literature in the field of research on the classified advertisement and pedagogical material in the field of ESP.
An Analysis of the Kashmir Issue: Past, Present and Future Recommendations
Authors: Khan Yunas , Khan Ismail , Rehman Fazli
Published: September 2022

In this paperwork, we at first presented the basic introduction to the Kashmir issue and then tried to shed light on its current scenario, especially after 05th August 2019, by answering a series of-questions in the explanation section, such as why India claims Kashmir to be its integral part? Why does Pakistan reject the Indian claim? Why does India call Kashmir to be its internal matter while Pakistan denies it? What was Kashmir's Special Status? Or what were Articles 370 and 35 (A) of the Indian Constitution?Why did India revoke the special status of Kashmir? Or why did India revoke Articles 370 and 35 A in 2019?What is the legal status of 'Instrument of Accession'? Why was the revocation of Special Status of Kashmir thought to be a violation of certain legal provisions? Or what laws have been violated by India? What makes Kashmir a nuclear flash point or a time bomb? Or what are the implications or consequences of revocation?What this paper argues is that revocation of articles 370 and 35A is a violation of the Indian constitution itself, UN resolutions and other provisions of the international law and must be taken notice of by the international community as the region is a nuclear flashpoint and the issue of Kashmir may be a triggering point for anything that can threaten the peace of the region.
