A la sombra del latin lover: Antonio Moreno en el cine de Hollywood de los años veinte
Authors: Alcala Del Olmo Olea Rocío 
Published: June 2020

L’objet de cet article est l’étude du discours sexuel et ethnique qui a sous-tendu l’image de la star de cinéma Antonio Moreno, durant son passage à Hollywood. S’ajustant au stéréotype du latin lover, initié par Rodolfo Valentino, l’image de la star a fonctionné à l’écran et dans la vie, comme image de mobilité sexuelle dont l’ambivalence (séducteur/séduit, sujet/objet de désir) permettait de promouvoir la réconciliation entre les valeurs anciennes et les valeurs nouvelles qui émergeaient dans la société nord-américaine des années vingt. De même, sa condition de star hispanique fut soutenue par l’industrie hollywoodienne pour diffuser un discours ethnique ambivalent, dans lequel coexistaient rejet et fascination. L’image de la star représentait donc un autre « idéal » qui symbolisait l’idéal de la réussite américaine dans la mesure où il pouvait s’incorporer à la culture « blanche », tout en restant un « autre », considéré comme ‘hot blooded’. En ce sens, l’étude des textes qui élaborent l’image publique de l’acteur (affiches, publicité, revues de fanzines, etc.) et l’analyse filmique de The Temptress (Fred Niblo, 1926) permettent d’étudier la manière dont le latin lover Antonio Moreno a représenté un stéréotype sexuel et ethnique qui a contribué à définir l’imaginaire culturel de la société nord-américaine.
Roentgenographic analysis of lumbar lordotic dimensions among indigenes of Delta State
Authors: Ojieh Ugochukwuka , Ebeye Abimbola Oladunni 
Published: June 2020

The spinal column of humans possesses strategically placed concave and convex curves which work in harmony to give an upright posture. The inwardly concave curvature in the lumbar region of the spine is known as the lordosis and it plays a very important role in the formation of the posture of humans. Analysis of the human lordosis is of great importance as it has been shown to be a major factor in the onset of low back pain, and is of great importance in spinal reconstructive surgery, through which some form of repair can be done to the spinal column that has undergone some form of alteration. The present study was carried out to analyse the lumbar lordotic dimensions among indigenes of Delta State. The aim of the study was to find out the average lordotic angle, vertebral body height and intervertebral disc height for the male and female population. The study was also aimed at finding the range for the normal lordotic angles as well as the correlations between these dimensions and the age of an individual. A regression equation was also formulated with which the lordotic angle of an individual can be estimated given the age of that individual. The sample size was 384 individuals (204 males and 180 females) with an age range of 20-60 years. The male population had a mean angle of 59.33±2.45° and the females had a lower mean value of 53.33±2.61°. The study showed males had higher mean values for lumbar vertebra height and intervertebral disc height. A steady increase in the height of the lumbar vertebra and intervertebral disc from the first to the last was observed in this study. This study also showed that a weak negative correlation existed between the age of an individual and the lordotic angle and the vertebral height. Correlations between the age and intervertebral disc height showed a weak positive correlation. A regression formula was derived for estimating the lordotic angle of an individual given the age. This study will be of great importance to medical practitioners and forensic anthropologists in spinal reconstructive surgery and forensic human identification by gender and age.

A case report on an unusual elongation of the <I>Sustentaculum tali</I>
Authors: Amuti Thomas , Wambui Anita , Ouko Innocent , Ogeng’o Julius 
Published: June 2020

The sustentaculum tali, as a horizontal shelf of the calcaneus serves as an attachment point for the ligamentous support of the foot. Any variations on it has therefore been linked to instability factors of the ankle joint. Studies have explored on the possible variations of this bony projection, but none have been documented on an unusually long elongation of the same. This study examined an unusually elongated sustentaculum tali found located on the left calcaneus of an adult Kenyan calcaneus. The right pair did not bear the same variation. This elongation on the calcaneus revealed that it had a length of 11.68mm, height of 7.68mm and thickness of 2.83mm. This elongated sustentaculum tali, even though a rare case should be considered in the cases of idiopathic subtalar joint instability.

Authors: Iroko O.A. , Bobadoye A.O. , Bobadoye B.O. 
Published: June 2020

This study examine comparative studies on nutrients needs and uptake in K. senegalensis seedlings to evaluate effect of organic manure (Cow dung; 20g, 10g; Poultry manure: 20g, 10g; Water hyacinth 20g, 10g and control). The variables measured were plant height, collar diameter and leaf numbers. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), the data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Means separation using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The results showed that seedlings grown with cow dung of 20g produced the highest mean height (12.45cm), collar diameter (5.68mm) and leaf production (7). The best performance was observed in seedlings grown with cow dung at the rate of 20g. 20g of cow dung mixed with 2kg of forest top soil can therefore be used to raise K. senegalensis seedlings for good growth in the Nursery.

Authors: Oyeyemi A.Y. , Umar Z.D. , Lawan A. , Oyeyemi A.L. , Akanbi A.A. , Muhammad H.S. 
Published: June 2020

Objective: To determine the cardiovascular responses and perceived exertion of young adults walking and carrying a load of 10 kg on shoulder and the head.Method: Healthy participants (n=50) between the ages of 21 and 27 were subjected to three testing sessions at self-selected normal pace without load, and carrying a 10 kg load on the shoulder and on the head for 10 minutes. Cardiovascular parameters and their ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured before and after testing at each session.Results: Higher pulse pressure (correlates of stroke volume) and rate pressure product (index of myocardial oxygen uptake) values were observed following load on shoulder testing compared to no load testing values and a higher RPE value was observed for load on shoulder testing when compared to load on head testing.Conclusion: It is conceivable that carrying load on the head can potentially be more economical than carrying load on the shoulder for this cohort of young adults.

Published: June 2020

Although tuberculosis (TB) is prevalent in domestic animals and man in Nigeria, prevalence and zoonotic tuberculosis (ZTB) predictors information among livestock workers in Lafia, is scarce. This study determined TB prevalence and ZTB predictors among livestock workers in the town.In a cross-sectional study, sputum samples from 96 participants selected by systematic random sampling (56 abattoir workers and 40 cattle herdsmen and marketers), to whom semi-structured questionnaire was issued, were tested with Ziehl Neelson stain. Data generated were analysed with STATA 12 and OpenEpi at 0.05 critical value (α). From the 96 samples, 13.54% prevalence was recorded. Awareness of ZTB was 60.42% and logistic regression analysis showed good knowledge of ZTB as the predictor (OR=62.89, 95% CI=7.19-549.69, P=0.000). Similarly, ZTB knowledge was 37.50% and the significant predictors were being old (OR=22.09, 95% CI=1.11-13.38, P=0.034); well aware (OR=22.09, 95% CI=2.61-187.27, P=0.005) and good practices (OR=4.78, 95% CI=1.39-16.60) towards ZTB. Thirty-four percent of the respondents engaged in good practices preventing ZTB exposure with the predictors being: an abattoir worker (OR = 3.03, 95% CI=1.04-9.09, P=0.042) and having ZTB good knowledge (OR=4.36, 95% CI=1.33-14.22, P=0.015). Tuberculosis was prevalent among the participants and they need enlightenment on ZTB transmission since they lacked good knowledge, attitudes and practices that prevent it.

This study analyzes the safety management of transporting dangerous chemical goods that are transported from the factory to the customer. By conducting a risk assessment of transportation activities and reviewing company compliance with regulations and laws. This research is descriptive qualitative or observational, the analytical method used in this study is the HIRADC (Hazard Identification Detemining Control Risk Assessment) method.
The results of this study provide an overview of the level of safety of transporting hazardous chemicals to carry out risk assessments in shipping goods to customers. Risks that score more than 1 are risks that must be followed up by making an objective program. The level of risk comes from a combination of likelihood (probability) and severity of impact (consequences). The results of this study are expected to be used to control and reduce current risks. Evaluation of company compliance with government regulations and legislation, can be used as a basis for developing compliance plans that were not previously met.
Ethnomusicology beyond #MeToo: Listening for the Violences of the Field
Authors: Appert Catherine M. , Lawrence Sidra 
Published: June 2020

AbstractResponding to an increasing sense of urgency about sexual harassment and assault during ethnographic fieldwork in the era of #MeToo, this article offers a lesson plan for effecting systemic change in the discipline of ethnomusicology. We show how disciplinary assumptions about the field where harassment occurs reify colonizing histories of racial othering, reinscribe heteronormativity, and alternately conflate or erase specific types of violences. We identify feminist scholarly genealogies that provide alternate models for theorizing in and through personal experience. We argue that this analytical work cannot and must not be absent from the important questions of how we practically approach and prepare students for fieldwork in ethnomusicology.
Factors Influencing Maternal Decision-Making on Infant Feeding Practices
Authors: N. Hamilton Whitney 
Published: June 2020

The decision to formula feed or breastfeed a child typically begins with an established prenatal intention. This chapter will examine the multiple dimensions influencing maternal decision-making in regards to the feeding practices of infants including 1) individual maternal characteristics, 2) organizational factors, 3) hospital/provider recommendations, and 4) systematic/policy factors. The chapter will also examine the impact of infant feeding practices on early infant and childhood health outcomes. Research has demonstrated the benefits of breastfeeding on infants and early childhood which includes but is not limited to protection against common illnesses and infections, improved IQ , and even increased school attendance. Moreover, the World Health Assembly global nutrition objectives focus on encouraging breastfeeding support across all sectors in addition to implementing tailored community-based approaches, limiting the excessive marketing of infant formula, and enforcing supportive breastfeeding legislation. The aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the dynamic interplay between individual, interpersonal, community, and societal factors, such as policies that impact breastfeeding rates and more specifically the health of infants.

Authors: Osarenren Asemota Dennis , Michael Orheruata Arierhire 
Published: June 2020

Temperature-humidity index (THI) is a useful and easy way to assess the risk to heat stress. This index combines effects of environmental temperature and relative humidity. This study was conducted to determine the temperature-humidity index and to assess its effects on breeding does’ productivity potential at the rabbit house of the University of Benin Teaching and Research Farm. Data on microclimatic factors of ambient temperature (TEMP) and relative humidity (RH) of the rabbit house were obtained on monthly bases for 1 year. The year was divided into four seasons: late dry (January to March), early rain (April to June), late rain (July to September), and early dry (October to December). Temperature-humidity index was calculated using the ambient temperature and relative humidity values obtained on monthly and seasonal bases. The estimated values for TEMP were 34.78 ± 0.17, 33.41 ± 0.22, 31.17 ± 0.22, and 33.55 ± 0.19°C for late dry, early rain, late rain, and early dry seasons, respectively (p < 0.05), and the corresponding RH values were 56.89 ± 0.17, 57.23 ± 0.16, 59.03 ± 0.25, and 57.17 ± 0.20% (p < 0.05). The highest and lowest THI values were reported in late dry (32.03 ± 0.14) and in late rain (29.03 ± 0.19) (p < 0.05), in agreement with the higher and lower thermal stress in these seasons. In relation to the productivity of does, percentage conception rate ranged from 0 to 20% in late dry vs. from 52 to 56% in late rain. In conclusion, the most favorable season was late rain with the lowest THI and the highest productivity potential parameters.

Authors: Fauré Eric 
Published: June 2020

Résumé :Dans cet article, nous allons évoquer les traditions qui se sont formées à propos de la fondation de Heian-kyô (Kyôto), capitale du Japon entre 794 et 1868. Nous verrons comment ses fondateurs s’inspirèrent du Fengshui pour l’édifier et comment ils modifièrent progressivement les principes de cette science importée de Chine de façon à créer une ville idéale dont le relief fut, par la suite, considérée comme l’agencement idéal et servit de modèle à l’agencement des autres villes. Nous verrons enfin comment cette version japonaise du Fengshui influença lourdement les conceptions architecturales, les traditions et la vision du monde des anciens Japonais. Heian-kyô, Fengshui, Empereur Kanmu, Kimon & Quatre Animaux Abstract : In this article, we will evoke the traditions concerning the founding of Heian-kyo (Kyoto), the Capital-city of Japan between 794 and 1868. We will examine how its founders use Fengshui to choose the site for the Capital-city and gradually modified the principles of this science imported from China to create the ideal city. Its layout will subsequently be considered as the ideal layout and will serve as a model for the layout of other cities. We will finally see how this Japanese version of Fengshui impacted heavily on Japanese conception of architecture, its traditions and its ways of apprehending space.

El huerto-comedor sustentable, una experiencia de Intervención Educativa en la UPN Ayala, México
Authors: Morales Virrueta Ricardo Arcadio 
Published: June 2020

Resumen: Este trabajo nace del proyecto de maestría «El comedor-huerto escolar sustentable. Una experiencia de Intervención Educativa en la upn Ayala» donde se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de plantear una discusión teórico-práctica en relación con el propio quehacer de la Intervención Educativa. Así mismo se plantea esta propuesta para ponerse en marcha en otros proyectos de la misma naturaleza como son: el cuidado del ambiente, el cuidado de sí mismo, la recuperación de espacios y proyectos estudiantiles. Esta discusión teórico-práctica invita a una reflexión de la forma de hacer Intervención, ya que es importante poner en el centro el contexto donde se espera llevar a cabo el proceso y de esta manera definir si es posible o no hacerlo. Por último, cabe mencionar que esta reflexión fue puesta en marcha con un grupo de trabajo de interventores educativos universitarios y se describen hallazgos y elementos fundamentales para dar cuenta de la utilidad de esta propuesta. Sin embargo, los límites que se encontraron son la dificultad para hacer coincidir la información dada en las páginas gubernamentales, debido a su falta de precisión con los métodos estadísticos que utilizan, la apertura institucional para poner en marcha un proyecto gestionado sólo por estudiantes, así como la visión crítica necesaria de otros interventores para realizar esta contextualización in situ. Palabras clave: intervención educativa, ambiente, salud, diagnóstico, dispositivo.
Il rococò a Valencia e la sua applicazione nell’adorno architettonico
Authors: Giannotta Gaetano 
Published: June 2020

Riassunto: Il Rococò si manifestò nella città di Valencia durante il trentennio centrale del Settecento e si espresse in tutte le forme dell’arte. Raggiunse l’apice della sua ricchezza nella decorazione degli interni, primi tra tutti quelli del palazzo de Dos Aguas e della vicina chiesa di San Andrés. Il suo successo cessò con l’avvento dell’Accademismo, che con l’istituzione della Reale Accademia di Belle Arti di San Carlos nel 1768, pretese il controllo delle arti sotto il segno del neoclassicismo. Si è sempre relegato il Rococò nelle ultime pagine dell’evoluzione del Barocco valenzano e manca uno studio indipendente del Rococò valenciano, delle sue fonti stilistiche, dei modelli che impiega, delle sue relazioni con gli stili precedenti, delle cause che determinano il suo trentennale successo. Questo articolo pretende iniziare a far luce su questi aspetti, confidando che approfondimenti futuri possano valorizzare le produzioni di uno dei periodi più ricchi della storia dell’arte valenciana. Parole chiave: rococò, Valencia, XVIII secolo, accademismo. Abstract: Rococo emerged in the city of Valencia in the central three decades of 18th century and it has been expressing itself in all forms of art. It reached the peak of its richness in interior decoration, first of all those of the palace de Dos Aguas and the nearby church of San Andrés. Its success ended because of arrival of Academism, with the establishment in 1768 of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, which claims to control the arts under the sign of neoclassicism. The Rococo has been always relegated to the last pages of the evolution of the Valencian Baroque. Nowadays, an independent study of the Valencian Rococo and its stylistic sources, of the models it employs, of its relations with previous styles, of the reasons of its thirty-year success, is still missing. This article pretends to shed light on these aspects, trusting that further studies can enhance the products of one of the richest periods in the history of Valencian art.Keywords: rococo, Valencia, XVIII century, academicism.
Màgia i fantasia al servei de les nobles nissagues: el cas de Nofra-dona Dolcina en la novel·la històrica de Vicent Josep Escartí
Authors: Herrero Herrero Maria Àngels 
Published: June 2020

Resum: Dos dels elements més identificables en la novel·la històrica de Vicent Josep Escartí són, per una banda, el component màgic i fantàstic i, per una altra, l’existència de dues nobles nissagues: els Roger i els Arcàngel de Sant Esteve. De fet, la primera ja s’apuntà subtilment en «El fill de Gepa» i es desenvolupà en «Epistolari del Comte de l’Hortxà», primer i segon relat de Barroca mort (1988). Posteriorment, s’estengué a Dies d’ira (1992) ?Days of Wrath (2013)?, Els cabells d’Absalom (1996), Nomdedéu (2002), Naumàquia (2004) i El mas de les ànimes (2019). Amb Espècies perdudes (1997) sorgí el segon llinatge, que continuà en L’abellerol mort (2009), en les quals els Roger també s’endinsen enginyosament. Però, si hi ha un enllaç directe entre ambdues nissagues i que, alhora, encarna el joc fantàstic amb què Escartí impregna la seua obra, són els personatges ?secundaris? de Nofra-dona Dolcina. L’objectiu de l’article serà fer un recorregut per la seua novel·lística gràcies a aquests personatges femenins, els quals serviran per constatar-hi la importància de la màgia i la fantasia. Amb el protagonisme d’una dona en la seua darrera novel·la, El mas de les ànimes, ho torna a posar de manifest. Paraules clau: novel·la històrica valenciana, Escartí, nissagues, personatges femenins, màgia, fantasia.Abstract: Two of the most easily identifiable elements in Vicent Josep Escartí’s historical fiction are, on the one hand, the magical and fantastic component and, on the other hand, the existence of two noble lineages: the Roger family, and the Arcàngel de Sant Esteve family. In fact, the first one subtly appeared already in «El fill de Gepa» and developed in «Epistolari del Comte de l’Hortxà» ?the first and second story within Barroca mort (1988). It subsequently spread to Dies d’ira (1992) ?Days of Wrath (2013)?, Els cabells d’Absalom (1996), Nomdedéu (2002), Naumàquia (2004) and El mas de les ànimes (2019). Espècies perdudes (1997) marked the emergence of the second lineage, which continued in L’abellerol mort (2009), where the Roger family are ingeniously introduced as well. Nevertheless, if a direct link exists between both lineages which simultaneously embodies the fantastic play that pervades Escartí’s work, those are the ?secondary? characters of Nofra-dona Dolcina. This article has as its purpose to make a tour of his novels thanks to these female characters, which will help verify the important role that magic and fantasy play in them. Escartí stresses this once again through the prominence of a woman in his latest novel, El mas de les ànimes. Keywords: Valencian historical fiction, Escartí, lineages, female characters, magic, fantasy.
