Exploring the Relationship Between Tourism and Environmental Degradation in Pakistan's Economy: A Time Series ARDL Modelling Approach
Authors: Altaf Muqtadir , Awan Ayesha , Rehman Saif Ur
Published: November 2023

Tourism has received a lot of attention recently, particularly in developing nations that are already dealing with a variety of issues and difficulties. In many parts of the world, there has been a connection between rising tourism and environmental damage. Governments should use economic growth and human activities that increase CO2 emissions, such as energy consumption and tourism, as a proxy for environmental harm in order to limit this. Travel is only one of the damaging behaviors that tourism may engage in that might affect the climate. Global warming and unhealthy air conditions can be exacerbated by networks of transportation. Transit's consequences include environmental disturbance, contamination of the environment, and breathing in pollutants. This study, which spans the years 1997 to 2022 uses Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models to examine the long-term cointegrating causal connection among environmental deterioration and tourism. The projected results demonstrate how Pakistan's efforts to stop environmental deterioration are hampered by tourist. GDP and energy consumption are two other important variables that have a long-term, favorably biased connection with carbon emissions. The report advised that lawmakers create a model framework for rules that would oblige the federal government to spend its money in carbon-free or ecotourism enterprises in order to protect a sustainable environment. Moreover, tourism significantly affects the country's economy. Since tourism degrades the environment, regulators must consider both the sector's good and bad effects. In order to protect the environment and encourage sustainable tourism growth in Pakistan's economy, this paper proposes policy recommendations.

Culture is something that cannot be separated from human life. On the other hand, culture is an inseparable part of humans in their totality. There are various cultures in the world and they are local to certain communities. This is the fact that Christians face in carrying out their mission of preaching the Gospel with various difficulties. However, there are opportunities that can become a way of spreading the Gospel, because cultures have points of contact that can be a way of connecting one another. In that case opportunities for preaching the Gospel can be made possible. The method used in this research is the library research method. The results of this research are that, to carry out the mission of preaching the Gospel in local culture, a Gospel preacher must be able to understand the local language and culture, and be able to contextualize it with the social life of the local community.
Dart Emotional Spiritual Quotient (DESQ) Impact on Employee Performance and Role of Training Module (TM-DESQ): A Public Enterprise Perspective for Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Authors: Ahmed Zahid , Asim Muhammad
Published: November 2023

This study is focused on the effect of emotional intelligence (EQ), spiritual intelligence (SQ), and dart accountability quotients training modules (TM-DESQ) on employees’ performance working in the public enterprise (and private sector) of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Research manifests that EQ and SQ positively and significantly affect employee performance, progress, and development. The importance of emotional intelligence has been widely emphasized in human resource studies, similarly, literature articulates that accountability is an essential factor for the good governance of the public sector enterprise performance. Worldwide studies have a few contradictory results concerning EQ and SQ, and their impact on performance. Training programs on SQ learning lack longitudinal studies. SQ training’s impact on individual learning, performance, and HRD training was a research gap bridged through this study. A sample of 42 public and private sector employees took their EQ, SQ, and Dart Accountability scores as pen-and-paper self-report measures whereas the performance of employees was reported by their supervisors or managers as the second source of data. Basic training on EQ, SQ, and Dart Accountability (DESQ) was designed and TM-DESQ Intervention was instructed to respondents through webinars amid the COVID-19 Pandemic. The results demonstrated a positive and significant impact of emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, and dart accountability on employee performance. However, the insignificant effect of a few facets of some variables has opened other dimensions of research.

Enhanced Biogas Production from Rice Husks and Okra Stalks by Co-digestion with Ostrich Dung and Cow Manure
Authors: Jassim Huda , Khalil Amal
Published: November 2023

In this study, two sides were studied. First one included single and combined pretreatment which were performed to treat milled rice husks compared to increase the production of biogas untreated rice husks. The other side included investigate the effect of two types of mixing: mixing rice husks and okra stalks using three mixing ratios inoculated with ostrich dung compared to rice husks and okra stalks inoculated with ostrich dung separately and mixing ostrich dung and cow manure using three mixing ratios with rice husks compared to using rice husks inoculated with ostrich dung and cow manure separately. The ten reactors, which were carried out in this study, were in batch mode. Single pretreatment included hydrothermal and oxidative pretreatment with 50% (v/v) H2O2, while combined pretreatment consisted of both hydrothermal and H2O2 pretreatment. The cow manure was used as inoculum in this anaerobic co-digestion process. The results clarified that the increase of biogas productions were by 5.42%, 48.05%, and 59.07% for hydrothermal, H2O2, and combined pretreatment of hydrothermal and H2O2, respectively. For first mixing, 25:75 ratio (rice husks: okra stalks) was better than other ratios in the production of biogas (48.77 ml/g VS). In the second case of mixing, 75:25 ratio (ostrich dung: cow manure) was better than other ratios in the production of biogas (21.85 ml/g VS). Kinetic study was applied using modified Gompertz model, and there was well agreement between the predicted and measured values of the all pretreatments with correlation coefficient > 0.95. The pretreatment samples of rice husks and the mixing of materials improve the production of biogas and methane.
A Novel Demulsifier Used to Separate Water from the Emulsion
Authors: Massoud Samba Mohammed
Published: November 2023

Recently, there has been interest in using chemical demulsifiers to separate the water phase from crude oil emulsion. Separating the water from the emulsion is crucial before transportation and refining to avoid complications from the water phase. This research introduces a novel chemical demulsifier, Poly (AAc-co-AAm) hydrogel, synthesised at Sebha University. Its characteristics were examined using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy test (FTIR). Its efficiency was tested against commercial demulsifiers (Emulsotron and Dmo-66813) used in some Libyan oil fields. The chosen concentrations for Poly (AAc-co-AAm) were 0.5%, 1%, and 2%, while commercial demulsifiers were tested based on the standard method in the oil field. The results revealed that Poly (AAc-co-AAm) outperformed the commercial demulsifiers in terms of separation time, volume, and quality. Notably, the 0.5% concentration of Poly (AAc-co-AAm) provided the best separation results.

Being viewed as one of lifelong learning subsystems, adult education is extremely important and has various functions. Among others, adult education has important function in the battle against unemployment and poverty. Therefore, the battle against unemployment and increasing poverty in our country requests the adult education as an important element. The number of unemployed persons in Bosna and Herzegovina is extremely high. The qualifying structure unemployed persons have is not satisfying. Many are not qualified at all for any job or their qualifications are not competitive at the job market. That is why the adult education is imposed as urgent in reducing unemployment. Besides, the lifetime employment concept is replaced by the concept lifetime employability with continual learning as condition sine qua non. Lifetime employment is relevant for unemployed persons so they would not be socially excluded and marginalized.

Automatism of the media attention which is evident in every day informative-political contents of the public services as well as the private media is the factor indicating extent some theme has in the media space. Obvious inertia in taking over current issues with no analysis or the possible widening the content was mostly present in the media of Bosnia and Herzegovina reporting about campaign for USA presidential elections during 2008. The local media found their main in sources in some foreign media reports, and that fact indicates poverty of professionalism in the work of Bosnia and Herzegovina's journalists. Local daily news were mostly attracted by democratic candidates polemics showing that the media were focused toward ''infotainment'' consequently loosing their role as the liasion analyst between local issues and global politics. Research held on the rate of the presidential elections elaborated in the local media has shown the interest for political relations inside USA but also analytical weakness of the print media in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Informiranje i učešće javnosti u donošenju odluka vezanih za zaštitu okoliša
Authors: Šehović Peršić Inka
Published: November 2023

When it comes to general climate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ecological awareness is very low, both of the community and of the political structures - it is evident that they are not well informed about the concept of the environmental protection. The main reasons for the low perception of ecological problems are common to all countries in transition followed by economic crises, reparation of the basic infrastructures, lack of eco-public opinion, eco-education, culture of living and generally conformism and latency of Bosnian community as a whole. Having in mind the crucial problems that had caused low perception of the environmental protection, we must admit that the media, informing the community and creating the public opinion, are also responsible for current state. The role of the media and the community in solving ecology problems is discussed in this text.
Savremena tehnologija kao podrška realizaciji koncepta doživotnog obrazovanja i učenja u organizaciji

Published: November 2023

Possibilities for realization the lifelong education and learning concept in changing environment with the modern technology as a backbone are being discussed in this paper. This also implies redirection of the focal point of theoretical interests from prescriptive paradigms to highly contextualized and specified activities of education and learning. Practical realization of the lifelong education and learning concept at the level of modern company today is mainly based on designing the appropriate context and structural changes (changing information relationships, opening and widening the communication lines, etc.) including modern technology as a curriculum component, as a delivery mechanism as a complement to instruction and an instructional tool. This practical realization is also based on activities of human resource development considering as the key preconditions and pre-suppositions of continuing lifelong education and learning at work. In the light of these assumptions, results of empirical research were analyzed and explained. Data were collected in May, 2008 on a sample of 680 respondents, employed at companies in Serbia using modern technology. Satistics were subjected to nonparametric test, canonical analysis and exploratory principal component analysis with the Varimax rotation, etc. Based on aforementioned statistical analysis it was found that companies in Serbia using modern technology are very supportive for undertaking activities of lifelong education and learning. These companies are aimed to problem solving process; continuing evaluation and validation; enhancing dialogue; continuing learning and updating knowledge; efficient adaptation to changes; individual responsibility; gaining advantage over competitors or rivals; developing confidence and loyality and self-education. Indicators on strong statistically highly relevant impact some bio-social, educational and working characteristics have to perceptions of the modern technology as a base for realization the lifelong education and learning concept, might be the focus of interests from the perspective of Andragogy.
Análisis de la imprescriptibilidad de los bienes inmuebles de dominio privado del estado
Authors: Vilcherrez Vilela Deiver
Published: November 2023

La Ley N° 29618, promulgada el 24 de noviembre de 2010, establece la presunción de que el Estado es poseedor de sus inmuebles y declara como imprescriptibles los bienes inmuebles de dominio privado estatal. Esta norma genera controversia al chocar con el artículo 73° de la Constitución Política del Estado, que sugiere la posibilidad de prescripción de los bienes de dominio privado estatal. La administración, registro y defensa de los bienes estatales tienen antecedentes legislativos desde los inicios de la República, pero las normas aplicadas han carecido de alcance general. Incluso, códigos civiles anteriores regulaban aspectos relacionados con la disposición de los bienes estatales. Este marco normativo ha influido en el desarrollo del derecho administrativo peruano, especialmente en lo referente al tratamiento del patrimonio público, aunque en ocasiones las disposiciones hayan estado incluidas en normas de derecho privado.
El ahuautle en Atenco: retos y posibilidades en la recuperación de un recurso endémico para el turismo gastronómico
Authors: Villaseñor Edith , Castillo Marcelino
Published: November 2023

El ahuautle, como recurso endémico del municipio de Atenco, en México, se ha enfrentado a la pérdida de prácticas tradicionales en su cultivo, consumo y comercialización, como resultado de problemas no solo económicos, sino también sociales, políticos y ambientales. Por ello, esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la situación y retos que enfrenta el ahuautle en su preservación como un recurso gastronómico, así como las condiciones que limitan su proyección y aprovechamiento en el municipio. La metodología empleada es un estudio de caso –con un enfoque etnográfico–, utilizando entrevistas a profundidad, encuestas semiestructuradas, observación participante, así como guías de evaluación del recurso, de los patrimonios y del territorio, aplicadas a una muestra de informantes clave. Tales instrumentos permitieron recolectar información no solo de los problemas que enfrenta la conservación del ahuautle, sino además la recuperación de saberes y técnicas de cultivo, preparación y consumo, pero también del valor histórico, cultural y nutricional del ahuautle para la misma región de la laguna de Texcoco, donde se ubica este recurso. Entre los principales hallazgos se registra una pérdida gradual del ahuautle, su cultivo y producción, al grado de encontrarse hoy al punto de la extinción. Las principales propuestas se orientan a la recuperación de este recurso para integrarlo a las actividades del turismo gastronómico, beneficiando no solo a las familias del lugar, sino a los comerciantes y restauranteros de la región, así como representar un atractivo emblemático para los visitantes. Para ello, es necesaria la participación corresponsable y comprometida intersectorial para establecer acuerdos, acciones y programas que favorezcan su recuperación de manera integral, con beneficios a la economía y a la identidad turístico-gastronómica municipal.

Una contribución a la transformación del sistema alimentario venezolano por la vía de acción 2: modalidades de consumo sostenibles
Authors: Carmona Andrés , Tapia María , Hernández Pablo , Mata Claret , Rivas Siloyde
Published: November 2023

La discusión de los sistemas alimentarios está en la agenda multilateral mundial. En 2021 se realizó la Cumbre Mundial de los Sistemas Alimentarios (CMSA) de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. Previamente, se efectuaron los Diálogos de la CMSA, convocados por gobiernos nacionales e individuos de toda la sociedad. En Venezuela se efectuaron varios de ellos, coordinados por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO) y se invitó a actores y expertos para conocer sus opiniones de modo que las mismas sirvieran de insumos para construir una hoja de ruta que oriente la transformación del Sistema Alimentario Venezolano (SAV). En este artículo, los autores responden un cuestionario que incluye preguntas y solicita recomendaciones relacionadas con lo que debería hacer el país para transformar el SAV teniendo como referencia la Vía de Acción 2: Adoptar modalidades de consumo sostenibles. Se consideraron aspectos de hábitos de consumo alimentario y educación nutricional, políticas alimentarias, legislación, regulación y normas vigentes, recomendaciones para los programas públicos y cómo la industria de alimentos podría contribuir con los mismos. Finalmente, y apuntando a la sostenibilidad se inquirió sobre cómo evitar pérdidas y desperdicios de alimentos. Las respuestas constituyen recomendaciones y reflexiones basadas en ciencia y en las voces de expertos nacionales e internacionales y de las propias agencias de Naciones Unidas, orientadas a fomentar en Venezuela la producción de alimentos de manera sostenible así como la educación y formación de los consumidores en conceptos de sostenibilidad, de dietas saludables y variadas, de la importancia de la reducción de pérdidas y desperdicios, todo con el objeto de fortalecer las cadenas de valor locales y mejorar el deficiente patrón alimentario de los venezolanos y su nutrición, sobre todo, el de los más vulnerables.
La trilogía “sistemas agroforestales-agroecología-agricultura familiar”: una referencia válida para la transformación de los sistemas alimentarios agroindustriales
Authors: Tovar Frank , Rojas José
Published: November 2023

Actualmente existen acuerdos, programas y políticas nacionales e internacionales orientados a transformar los sistemas alimentarios convencionales hacia sistemas sostenibles y resilientes, con el propósito de eliminar o reducir impactos del cambio climático y la agricultura industrializada en ecosistemas naturales y sociedades rurales. En Venezuela los sistemas alimentarios de base industrial son dominantes por su importancia socioeconómica y aportes a la alimentación de la mayoría social. Sin ser únicos o exclusivos, ocupan las áreas de mayores ventajas comparativas ecológicas y de accesibilidad. No obstante, aparte de las anotadas consecuencias ambientales, también reciben críticas por subvaloración de identidades territoriales y culturas locales, dominio empresarial de circuitos de comercialización y dependencia de insumos externos. Si bien se reconocen progresos para superar esos cuestionamientos, todavía son lentos para aumentar resiliencia, disminuir desigualdades, riesgos y crear estrategias regenerativas, circulares y sistémicas. Por ello ahora se insiste con más frecuencia en propuestas de transformación hacia sistemas sostenibles y resilientes, capaces de reducir o eliminar los impactos negativos del cambio climático. Los sistemas tradicionales –agroforestales, agroecológicos y familiares–, por el contrario, comparten atributos ambientales, culturales, territoriales y económicos, con adaptaciones a distintos ambientes del país. En virtud de su propia constitución social y tecnológica, mucho más ligada a la naturaleza, generan menores efectos ambientales negativos, además de rentabilidades aceptables y arraigos territoriales. Siguiendo esa línea de pensamiento, el objetivo de esta contribución es promover la trilogía “sistemas agroforestales-agroecología-agricultura familiar” en los deseados procesos de cambios agroecológicos. Metodológicamente el abordaje del tema se efectuó en tres fases: i) revisión e interpretación de la literatura; ii) importancia de los sistemas agroforestales como estrategia de seguridad alimentaria y de adaptación al cambio climático; y, iii) necesidad de mejoramiento ecológico de los sistemas alimentarios venezolanos. Estos propósitos se inscriben fundamentalmente en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y la Agenda 2030 de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas.
Resiliencia del sistema alimentario y gobernanza policéntrica sobre el bien común frente al cambio climático
Authors: Fonseca Juan , Quintero María
Published: November 2023

El cambio climático conlleva notablemente la escasez de los recursos naturales, pudiendo agravarse en un futuro próximo, creando mayores conflictos por la pugna desde cualquiera de sus múltiples usos, entre ellos la producción de alimentos para una creciente población del planeta. En la literatura económica especializada, Elinor Ostrom define los bienes de uso común como aquellos recursos que presentan una alta sustractibilidad de uso y una gran dificultad de excluir beneficiarios potenciales. Además, por cuanto resultan ser los bienes de todos, pero en su conservación, resultan los bienes de nadie, e incluso, pueden llegar a situaciones extremas de agotamiento. Ostrom y otros autores plantean que los bienes comunes –entre ellos el agua–, siguen siendo manejados dentro de una postura dicotómica entre Estado y mercado, que resulta ineficiente en su gestión. Por tanto, es fundamental fortalecer las instituciones, las redes de cooperación y la gobernanza policéntrica, de cara al cambio climático y otros problemas que afectan a la sociedad. En este escenario, el objetivo general de este artículo es analizar la importancia de las transformaciones del sistema alimentario y su capacidad de resiliencia frente al cambio climático u otros eventos adversos, considerando la gobernanza policéntrica en el manejo de los recursos; en especial, aquellos de uso común. La investigación realizada es de carácter documental, con base en la revisión e interpretación de la literatura especializada sobre el objeto de estudio. Entre las conclusiones se destaca que actualmente se demandan sistemas alimentarios sostenibles y cada vez más resilientes, para garantizar a largo plazo, el acceso a alimentos suficientes, inocuos y nutritivos, con la finalidad de prevenir y absorber los impactos no previstos de diversos fenómenos. Asimismo, se subraya la necesidad de tomar en cuenta criterios de equidad, inclusión y prácticas de producción y consumo responsables, repensando el papel del Estado y la articulación interinstitucional de los actores.
Territorio, hambre y conflicto armado en El Magdalena medio Colombiano
Authors: Uribe Taborda Saúl
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar el impacto que tiene el conflicto armado en el municipio de Puerto Berrío, departamento de Antioquia, región Magdalena Medio de Colombia. La discusión se sitúa en una línea espacio temporal que permite dimensionar la magnitud del conflicto y comprender las particularidades del Magdalena Medio, y especialmente, de Puerto Berrío, eje de los grandes y cercanos centros económicos (Medellín, Barrancabermeja, Bucaramanga y Bogotá) y frontera entre departamentos o provincias. Por esta característica, Puerto Berrío es un territorio geoestratégico disputado por diferentes grupos armados. Una de las principales conclusiones encontradas señala, que el hambre y la pobreza en la región, se convirtieron en la principal estrategia de los grupos armados; estrategias que crearon un círculo de violencia de la más cruenta y silenciosa guerra en Colombia. El monopolio de los alimentos, como se observará en este trabajo, es un arma de coerción social.
El mito ante la cotidianidad
Authors: Rodas Ramírez Miguel Ángel , Ordóñez Valle Georgina Sulamita
Published: November 2023

En la cosmovisión indígena, el nahualismo expresa la relación entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza, además, constituye una manifestación del poder de esta última. En la actualidad, Cantón El Carmen, es un asentamiento ubicado en las faldas del volcán de San Salvador, en el que perviven múltiples manifestaciones folclóricas, siendo el mito del “mico”, uno de los más conocidos por la comunidad. Se trata de un nahual, un ser humano transformado en mono que durante la noche se moviliza sobre los techos de las casas generando temor e incomodidad, su existencia se remonta a la fundación de la comunidad. Constituye, en términos de Mircea Eliade, la representación de un mito vivo.En ese sentido, se abordó el fuerte arraigo en el imaginario y sistema de creencias de la población salvadoreña, enfocando el nahualismo, más allá de su rol como explicación o justificante del entorno o de las relaciones de convivencia, como elemento que refuerza y caracteriza la identidad de las personas y comunidades donde transversaliza la cotidianidad y la realidad de los espacios y colectivos donde el fenómeno se manifiesta.

Símbolos de poder na relação aluno-professor: estudo dos valores sociais em um curso de graduação
Authors: Reatto Diogo , Maggi-da-Silva Patrícia Teixeira , Teixeira Maria Luisa Mendes
Published: November 2023

Este estudo qualitativo interpretativo, alicerçado na perspectiva do interacionismo simbólico, objetivou identificar e compreender quais valores sociais representam símbolos de poder para alunos e professores em sua relação cotidiana em sala de aula. Conhecer esses símbolos e identificar os valores sociais compartilhados e representados por alunos e professores contribui com a análise de problemas e desafios que cercam essa relação a fim de garantir que a educação superior seja um instrumento de transformação social. Realizaram-se 12 entrevistas individuais com professores e entrevistas em grupo com 12 alunos de um curso de graduação em Odontologia de uma faculdade estadual de São Paulo. Identificou-se que alunos e professores consideraram como valores sociais relacionados a poder o nome e a natureza pública da instituição de ensino; o papel do professor e o relacionamento com ele estabelecido em sala de aula; e a disciplina como componente curricular, com destaque para a prova, sua correção, nota e devolutiva ainda como símbolos de poder. Apesar de todo o avançado corpo teórico desenvolvido pelo campo de conhecimento da Educação, os símbolos de poder identificados refletem muitos dos dilemas, das agruras, dos obstáculos e das esperanças da Pedagogia. As áreas da Educação e das Ciências Sociais podem beneficiar-se de uma agenda de pesquisas conjuntas para desvendar implicações pedagógicas e de gestão universitária ao teorizar sobre os valores sociais construídos e compartilhados por esses grupos.

A Cross-Boundary Dialogue in Need: Racial, Ethnic, or Folk Groups?
Authors: Zhang Juwen , Addison Wanda G. , Magat Margaret , Miyake Mark Y. , Summerville Raymond , Buccitelli Anthony Bak
Published: November 2023

As we enter the twenty-first century, reflexive approaches to the history of folklore studies around the world, along with the antiracist and decolonizing efforts in academic studies in general, have led to a series of paradigmatic shifts away from the Eurocentric systems of defining genre, folk, racial group, and identity. What remains to be essential, yet to be fully subverted, is the concept and practice of “racial/ethnic groups” that is still used by folklorists in studying folklores in cultural groups. Continuously drawing the boundaries through the concept of “race” is nothing but reinforcing the existing racist system. Unless we build dialogues across the existing “racial” boundaries and seek new common terms and concepts, we are not able to make progress in understanding and accepting the nature and reality of our hybridized folklore traditions that inform the folk groups that we are in, as well as our own personal identities.

Authors: Cook Karen M.
Published: November 2023

The Gathering Storm expansion to Sid Meier's Civilization VI introduces climate change as a game mechanic. However, this issue plays a miniscule role in the game's sound world, symbolizing its continued invisibility in the real world while also creating potential space for players to ponder individual and collective climate action.
Whitehead's 1925–1927 View of Function and Time
Authors: Desmet Ronny
Published: November 2023

Whitehead's 1925–1927 Harvard lectures (HL2) are too rich in content to easily summarize. Consequently, I limit myself in the present article to giving an account pivoting around Whitehead's functional theory of reality and his epochal theory of time.
Teaching Talent: Beginning and/as Method in Two American Violin Studios
Authors: Wright Lindsay
Published: November 2023

This article closely examines two violinists’ first notes—two beginnings animated by contrasting American conceptions of music and musicality. Each beginning occurs in a lesson: one follows Japanese pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki's assertion that music is like language, universally accessible and collectively enjoyed; another exemplifies a more “traditional” approach embracing individuality and differing aptitudes. Through a detailed ethnographic analysis of the events before, during, and after these first notes, this project (1) theorizes musical “beginning,” (2) demonstrates the benefits of video-based microethnography for ethnomusicology, and (3) argues that conceptions of “talent” profoundly influence musicians’ achievements, even and especially in the beginning.
Ethical Veganism as Quiet Resistance
Authors: Williams Nancy M.
Published: November 2023

In this article, I will argue that ethical veganism can be understood as a form of quietism, as a quiet retreat from a world burdened by human moral failings and animal suffering. I will also show how this retreat, although quiet in nature, is both a legitimate and valuable form of genuine resistance to animal oppression. Positing ethical veganism as a form of sociopolitical resistance to animal exploitation is not new, but thinking of it as a quietist retreat and a legitimate and valuable form of quiet resistance is a different matter.

Authors: Abdulrazaq Esraa Emad , Saeed Ghassan Thabit
Published: November 2023

Background: The diversity of autism spectrum disorder presentation necessitates the use of simple tests. Quantitative electroencephalography is a low-cost, simple instrument that is being investigated as a clinical tool for monitoring abnormal brain development. Objective: To study brain waves by computer-analyzed EEG (quantitative EEG) in autistic children and correlate the changes to the clinical severity of autistic children. Methods: The study involved 65 children; 30 were recruited from the autism center and the pediatric neurology consultant in the child welfare teaching hospital, Medical City, and met the DSM-5 criteria for autism. Another 35 age-matched, normally-developed ASD children met the DSM-5 criteria, the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, for autism severity. Absolute and relative spectral power measurements were used to investigate brain activity. Results: The absolute and relative delta power increased in the patients as compared to the controls (p<0.05) in all brain regions. There is an association between the disease severity score and absolute and relative delta and theta power in brain areas. The absolute power of the delta wave peaked in the occipital and temporal regions. The relative delta power peaked in the temporal region. Conclusions: The spectrum delta power can aid in the evaluation and classification of ASD. QEEG testing revealed abnormalities in all ASD children and can be a helpful assessment instrument for ASD children.

Language learning activities are carried out by language educators so that students acquire appropriate language skills after engaging in a learning experience. The nature of English language learning in the Olat Maras Community Academy Heavy Equipment Engineering Study Program is not only focused on delivering the material contained in the semester learning plan but also paying attention to creative aspects, student enthusiasm, and paying attention to the needs of students humanely and democratically. The lack of learning experience for students in general is not only triggered by the difficulty of the content of the subject matter that cannot be understood by students, but also driven by the teaching approach to a learning activity that creates little learning experience for students during learning. The type of research used is qualitative. The instrument of this research is observation and direct interview. Data analysis techniques consist of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of data analysis show that creating a learning atmosphere full of student activity must involve cognitive, affective, and psychographic students, such as inviting students to listen, practice, argue, and use learning media sourced from students' own ideas in following their study program.

A significant role was played by the parents of the students, who had to become homeschoolers within a few days without prior training upon the suspension of face-to-face education. This study investigated the difficulties of Filipino parents (n = 90) with low educational attainment in assisting their children in modular distance learning. In-depth analysis and survey were employed as research instruments to extract responses on the difficulties of parents with low educational attainment and how government should aid them during a global crisis. The study was conducted in Zamboanga City, Philippines from July 2022 to December 2022. Parents struggled to explain, elaborate, and understand the lessons in the self-learning modules. Simulated teacher roles were another difficulty where parents were clueless on facilitating homeschooling and addressing learners’ needs. Gender roles difficulties were prominent where women assume that homeschooling responsibilities added to their roles in child and home care. Most of the families belong to low-income households and experienced economic difficulties on added expenses incurred in assisting their children in implementing modular distance learning. Results dictated that the government could support the parents by equipping them to be effective collaborative partners in the new modality through developing skillset on learner’s management, strategies on administering learning modules, remote instructional support to bridge the gap in learning and intensify programs venturing in livelihood and entrepreneurial opportunities. This study is vital to map out the difficulties of parents with low educational attainment in modular distance learning. It initiates responses by providing them concrete homeschooling manuals, module guides, training, and programs, establishing effective partners in the collaborative process of continuous learning at home.

Published: November 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to report the early results of patients who underwent surgical treatment with suture anchor tendon repair combined with the bone drilling technique for a diagnosis of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 11 patients (2 males, 9 females; mean age: 38.3 years) who underwent surgery with suture anchor tendon repair and the bone drilling technique for a diagnosis of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis between September 2019 and January 2022. The demographic data of the patients, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire score, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) value, joint Range of Motion (ROM) values, and the wrist extension, pinch and grip muscle strength measurements at the final follow-up examination were recorded.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 18 months (range, 12-26 months), and the time to return to pre-injury activity in 10 patients was determined to be mean 7.3 months (range, 6-9 months). No significant loss of ROM was observed in any patient. The postoperative DASH score was calculated as mean 8.3 (range, 0 -43.5). A decrease of 84% was determined in the VAS scores postoperatively. Wrist extension strength was evaluated as grade 5 in 10 patients and grade 4 in one. The mean pinch strength was +102% of the non-operated extremity, and the mean grip strength was +101% of the non-operated extremity.
Conclusion: The suture anchor tendon repair combined with the bone drilling technique can be an effective method in the surgical treatment of recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis, providing an early return to pre-injury activity, pain reduction and maintaining muscle strength

Published: November 2023

Background: Medical education in India has undergone significant shift recently with the implementation of competency-based medical education (CBME) in August 2019. The results of this study can be a valuable input to the National Medical Commission for curriculum development.

Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to understand the level of awareness of CBME among students, know their satisfaction with the new learning methods, and get their suggestions.

Materials and Methods: A pre-validated questionnaire with ten yes/no questions, eight 5-point Likert scale questions, and seven open-ended questions was used to capture students’ perspectives on CBME.

Results: Overall, the students had a positive response. The study also highlights some areas of concern, such as the lack of early clinical exposure experienced by some students and the relatively low participation in reflective writing. Many students considered logbook as a burden as they could not understand its aim. Management of supplementary batches requires reconsiderations. There are differences in opinion about the optimal duration of the phases of MBBS course.

Conclusion: Students find the curriculum helpful in their learning and development. The findings suggest that the new curriculum is on the right track, but that there are some areas that need to be improved.
