Histories of Technology Culture Manifestos
Authors: Foster Ellen K. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Taking impetus from a collaborative conversation about writing a feminist repair manifesto, this article is focused on examining radical feminist manifestos, new technology manifestos, and their intersecting themes and influence upon cyberfeminist manifestos. Its theoretical underpinnings include histories of repair and maintenance and the manifesto as technological form. As a practice, repair and theorisations of repair regarding technology take into account invisible labour and create a relationship of care not only within communities, but in relation to everyday technologies. Since this work to write a feminist fixers’ manifesto was inspired by the iFixit Repair Manifesto, the NYC Fixers Collective manifesto, as well as manifestos from radical feminist technology movements, it seemed appropriate to consider and critically engage the function of manifestos in these various maker and digital technology communities, as well as the history of radical feminist manifestos in response to cultural oppression. By looking more deeply at specific historical instances and their function, I aim to uncover the importance of such artefacts to give voice to alternative narratives and practices, to subvert systemic oppressions while at other times reproducing them in their form. I argue that there is power in iterating and proliferating manifestos with a critical stance and work to establish the knowledge-producing and world-making potentials of manifesto writing.
“What You Can Invent over the Weekend” and the Recurring History of Corporate DIY
Authors: Shorey Samantha 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
At the emergence of the contemporary American maker movement, O’Reilly’s Make: magazine positioned making as a method of innovation beyond the system of industrial research and development. These narratives emphasised the value of hands-on, material engagement for inspiring novel ideas and building inventive minds. This Do-It- Yourself (DIY) spirit was positioned as inherently oppositional to the corporate groupthink of “do as you’re told”. Today, dominant public discourses tend to emphasise the power of digital fabrication tools - collapsing much of the innovative potential of the maker movement into a single set of material practices and thus limiting the analytic field of making research. In this “Entering the Field” format article, I explore two maker texts: early issues of Make: magazine (published between 2005 and 2007) and a collection of pamphlets produced by the General Motors Information Rack Service throughout the 1950s. These pamphlets were distributed for free in order to inspire and advance General Motors (GM) employees. Through connecting these collections, I both extend and complicate an industrial history of making as a source of innovation. I argue that, more than any particular set of tools, it is DIY practice that defines the core of Make: magazine’s vision of making. However, as the pamphlets at GM illuminate, these practices are never fully outside of industries that benefit from the betterment of makers. Taken together, these stories reveal DIY as alternately challenging and contributing to corporate logics - a cyclical process that yields a current cultural moment in which makerspaces are installed in the ground floor of offices at Google, Facebook and, unsurprisingly, GM.
Chinese graduate students’ translanguaging practice in the context of academic writing in English
Authors: Zhang Xuezi , Hadjioannou Xenia 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This study explores the complexity of the languaging processes of Chinese graduate students in the context of their English academic writing. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, we found that translanguaging was ubiquitously present in the writing processes of the Chinese graduate student participants. The participants leveraged translanguaging tools and strategies to support their English writing by accessing and utilizing resources in Chinese, using Chinese to support thinking and drafting, and integrating literacy knowledge across their linguistic repertoires. However, negative perceptions of these practices contributed to ambivalent bilingual identities and hindered them as writers. Findings also revealed perceived barriers and process hindrances that challenged the participants when composing academic text in English. The study highlights the importance of creating translanguaging spaces to support international students in higher education, but also the need to provide instruction in academic writing to support their academic performance.
Computational studies by molecular docking of some antiviral drugs with COVID-19 receptors are an approach to medication for COVID-19

Published: March 2021

Abstract
The COVID-19 outbreak is a matter of concern worldwide due to unavailability of promising treatment comprising medication or vaccination till date. The discovery of antiviral drug is of immense importance in the existing spread of novel coronavirus. The goal of the present study was to evolve an opposite antiviral drug against the novel COVID-19 virus. A directly succeeding perspective would be to use the prevailing influential drugs from several antimicrobial and chemotherapeutic agents. The encouraging approach is to identify promising drug molecules and compounds through virtual screening via molecular docking of FDA-approved drugs and some previously synthesized pyridone and coumarin derivatives for probable therapeutic outcome. In this conceptual milieu, an effort has been made to propose a computational in silico relationship among FDA-approved drugs and coronavirus-associated receptors and proteins. The study results were evaluated on the basis of a dock score by using molecular operating environment. Out of 15 compounds screened, the compounds with the best docking scores toward their targets was 3d. Therefore, compound 3d deserves further investigations and clinical trials as a possible therapeutic inhibitor of the COVID-19 caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2.
Calculation studies of coated particles performance in sodium-cooled fast reactor
Authors: Maslov N. V. , Grishanin E. I. , Alekseev P. N. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This paper presents results of calculation studies of the viability of coated particles in the conditions of the reactor core on fast neutrons with sodium cooling, justifying the development of the concept of the reactor BN with microspherical fuel. Traditional rod fuel assemblies with pellet MOX fuel in the core of a fast sodium reactor are directly replaced by fuel assemblies with micro-spherical mixed (U,Pu)C-fuel. Due to the fact that the micro-spherical (U, Pu)C fuel has a developed heat removal surface and that the design solution for the fuel assembly with coated particles is horizontal cooling of the microspherical fuel, the core has additional possibilities of increasing inherent (passive) safety and improve the competitiveness of BN type of reactors. It is obvious from obtained results that the microspherical (U, Pu)C fuel is limited with the maximal burn-up depth of ∼11% of heavy atoms in conditions of the sodium-cooled fast reactor core at the conservative approach; it gives the possibility of reaching stated thermal-hydraulic and neutron-physical characteristics. Such a tolerant fuel makes it less likely that fission products will enter the primary circuit in case of accidents with loss of coolant and the introduction of positive reactivity, since the coating of microspherical fuel withstands higher temperatures than the steel shell of traditional rod-type fuel elements.
What’s Happened to Global News?
Authors: Robertson Alexa 
Published: March 2021

AbstractScholarship on “global journalism” – to the extent that the phenomenon is explored empirically – is often based on the analysis of national media. This article considers, instead, how the global fares in global newsrooms, and what has happened to global news since the early years of the millennium. It is argued that, while much has changed in world politics and scholarly agendas, global news is characterized more by continuity than change, and that the interesting differences are not between “then” and “now,” but between news outlets. The results of the analysis of 2189 newscasts, 7591 headlines and 5379 news items broadcast over a period of 13 years by four global news organizations (Al Jazeera English, BBC World, CNN International, and RT) call into question assumptions about the cosmopolitan nature of channels said to speak to the world. They show that only a small percentage of their news can be considered “global” in terms of topic and geographical scope, although there are thought-provoking differences in how the global is narrated. Taken together, they provide occasion to revisit the scholarly debate on global journalism.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury has seriously affected patient’s health and life. Schwann cells play an important role in peripheral nerve regeneration. However, the effect of the current tissue engineered scaffolds for promoting Schwann cells growth is still not as good as that of autologous graft. In this study, new developed three-dimensional gellan gum/starch (GG/ST) scaffolds with various printing gap for Schwann cells growth were prepared by 3D printing technology. Various physiochemical characterizations of the printed scaffolds were performed including morphology, rheological behavior, swelling ratio, and degradation behavior. The cytotoxicity and biocompatibility of the scaffolds were evaluated using L929 fibroblasts and RSC96 Schwann cells, respectively. The results displayed that the GG/ST scaffold exhibited a porous network structure. The cross-sectional pore density of the hydrogel had a tendency to increase with the ascending printing gap. The swelling rate and degradation rate of the hydrogel gradually increased and eventually reached an equilibrium state. The rheological test results showed that the scaffolds had good printability. MTT cytotoxicity test and CCK-8 cell proliferation test displayed that the scaffold was nontoxic, and Schwann cells could grow well on the scaffold after 5 days of culture, whereas the number of cells on the scaffold with the printing gap of 3 mm was the largest. These results indicated that the GG/ST scaffold prepared by 3D printing technology may have a potential application in peripheral nerve regeneration.

The Many Faces of Acute Idiopathic Blind Spot Enlargement
Authors: Ho Amiee , Goodwin Denise 
Published: March 2021

This is a literature review and retrospective case series of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement of 2 Caucasian females and 1 Hispanic male. Hallmark findings include unilateral photopsia, an enlarged blind spot, loss of the ellipsoid and interdigitation zones on OCT, and an abnormal multifocal electroretinography. This condition is an outer retinal disease that shares common traits with the AZOOR complex, which can confound the diagnosis. Autofluorescent imaging may aid in differentiating the conditions. Disseminating more case reports detailing different presentations of this rare outer retinal disorder help advance the clinical understanding of these conditions.

OBJECTIVES:
In Zambia, a significant number of infants die in the community. It is hypothesized that delays in care contribute to many of these so-called “brought in dead” infants.

METHODS:
We analyzed free-text narratives from verbal autopsies, in which families narrate the final series of events leading to each infant’s death. Using the 3-delays model framework and working iteratively to achieve consensus, we coded each narrative using NVivo software to identify, characterize, and quantify the contribution of delays and other factors to the fatal outcome.

RESULTS:
Verbal autopsies were collected from 230 families of brought in dead infants younger than 6 months of age. As many as 82.8% of infants had 1 or more delays in care. The most-common delay was in the family’s decision to seek care (54.8%), even as severe symptoms were frequently described. Similarly, 27.8% of infants died en route to a health care facility. Delays in receiving adequate care, including infants dying while waiting in line at a clinic or during referral from a clinic to a hospital, occurred in 24.7% of infants. A third of infants had been previously evaluated by a clinician in the days before their death.

CONCLUSIONS:
Delays in care were the rule rather than the exception in this population of Zambian infants. Accessing care requires families to navigate significant logistic barriers, and balance complex forces in deciding to seek care. Strategies to avoid such delays could save many infants lives.

Published: March 2021

O tênis, como prática desportiva, tem surgido como alternativa paramelhora do condicionamento físico na classe média brasileira. E, por conseguinte,pressupõe a necessidade de aprimoramento do conhecimento do desportista, em especial do praticante sênior. O Senso de Coerência de Antonovsky ou SenseofCoherenceScale (SOC) permite identificar e avaliar os indivíduos com ênfase da origem da saúde, contemplando-o globalmente. Com base no pressuposto,o SOC é uma orientação global individual para criação de estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) em situações desfavoráveis visando a manutenção da saúde. Para isto, este estudo se propôs a avaliar as relações entre o SOC e os fatores sociodemográficos e de saúde dos praticantes de tênis seniores no Rio Grande do Sul.Trata-se de um estudotransversal, com 39 participantes com mais de 35 anos de idade, que competiram em 2015 no Ranking Estadual de Seniores da Federação Gaúcha de Tênis.Os instrumentos utilizados compreenderam um questionário com variáveis sociodemográficas e de saúde e o questionário de senso de coerência de Antonovsky (QSCA) com 29 questões e trêsdomínios (Compreensão, Manejo e Significado). Os atletas tinham entre36,2 a 69,5 anos de idade, com média de 48 (± 8,6); 84,6% (n=33) vivem com companheira; 61% (n=24) têm ensino superior completo;41,0%(n=16) tinham renda entre 4 a 10 Salários; 19 (48,7%) jogam tênis há 21 anos ou mais.A maioria (84,6%; n=33) relatou algumalesão musculoesquelética durante a prática do tênis.Somente 5 tenistas (12,8%) relataram ser portadores de alguma doença crônica. Quanto ao SCA observamosassociação entre as idades no domínio Significado (p=0,044), presença de doenças crônicas e o domínio manejo (p=0,048)e entre os domínios de SOC e as categorias de renda (p=0,015). Concluímos que o significado atribuído as questões de vida têm mais sentido nos atletas mais velhose que o manejo de situações cotidianas é influenciado negativamente com a presença de doenças crônicas. Em contrapartida, a renda é uma variável muito influente nos valores do SOC e nas estratégias de coping.

Published: March 2021

Introdução: a prática de atividade física é fundamental para o desenvolvimento saudável da criança, pois o sedentarismoprejudica a saúde, desencadeando problemas na adolescência e vida adulta. Objetivo: analisar o nível de atividade física de crianças de 6º e 7º ano de escolas públicas e privadas de Altamira-PA. Métodos:Participaram do estudo 457 alunos de 11 a 14 anos de idade. A coleta de dados foi realizada através do questionário PAQ-A, que é uma versão do IPAQ e foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva. Resultados: De acordo com os dados encontrados,50,6% dos alunos foram considerados pouco ativos e 43,4% moderadamente ativos; na comparação por sexo,37,9% dos meninos são pouco ativos, 50,8% moderadamente ativos e 10,3% muito ativo, as meninas 60,9% são pouco ativas e 37,4% moderadamente ativas; na comparação por instituição, 52% dos alunos das escolas pública são pouco ativos e 41,6% moderadamente ativos, nas escolas particulares 35,9% são pouco ativos e 60,5% moderadamente ativos; entre os alunos do 6º ano 46,5% são pouco ativos e 48,2% moderadamente ativos; no 7º ano 55% sãopouco ativos, 38,2% moderadamente ativos. Conclusão: Com base nos resultados, percebe-se um maior número de crianças sedentárias em ralação as ativas, e principalmente as meninas que se mostraram menos ativas que os meninos. Por tanto fica evidente a necessidade de incentivo a prática de atividade física para crianças e adolescentescom o intuito de aumentar o nível da prática regular de atividade física.
Viser une production optimale
Authors: Myers Marie J. 
Published: March 2021

Pour optimiser la production orale il faut à la fois viser une augmentation du temps de prise de parole et créer des tâches de plus en plus exigeantes qui soient également motivantes pour engendrer un maximum de participation. Dans un premier temps je présente l’amélioration de la production orale dans le modèle de centres d’activités. La démarche est utilisée pour motiver et faire travailler de manière intensive en petits groupes, dans la salle de cours même. Il s’agit d’une gestion de petits groupes passant d’un centre à un autre tous les quarts d’heure environ dans le but de compléter les tâches proposées au centre en question. Il y a sans doute toute une complexité inhérente à ce modèle, mais une fois que la préparation adéquate est faite et que la première mise en route est complétée, les avantages de cette démarche sont nombreux. On stimule l’oral en responsabilisant les apprenants, en prévoyant des tâches exigeant la participation de tous les membres du groupe, en amenuisant le besoin de gestion de classe et en permettant le développement individuel et en interaction des habiletés langagières, avec une centration sur l’oral. L’objectif est de développer les capacités d’usagers autonomes de la langue après avoir fourni un encadrement initial avec un modèle. Puis il faut donner les directives aptes à assurer le bon fonctionnement de chaque centre sans le besoin de recours à l’enseignante. Des directives précises sont données avec des exemples à l’appui. Dans un deuxième temps je décris comment une activation physique allant de pair avec un travail de production orale est à même d’ajouter un aspect stimulant supplémentaire.

Authors: Numan Sharker Md. 
Published: March 2021

Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic disease affecting a huge number of people around the world. Among the survivors of COVID-19 complains of exacerbated musculoskeletal symptoms especially for those who had pre-existing problems.
Aim: This study aims to find out the different types of musculoskeletal symptoms felt by post-covid-19 survivors and explore the association among those symptoms and associated factors.
Methods: A descriptive type of cross-sectional study of 90 participants was conducted. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from participants through a structured questionnaire using face to face interview.
Results: Among the 90 participants 63 were male and 27 were female with a mean age of 45.43 years. 80 participants were from the urban area. In the location of pain status, 25 complained of pain in the head and neck, 12 in the upper limb, 31 in the lower limb, and 22 in the back. Besides, 80 complained of global weakness and 10 did not have it. A significant association was found between the age of the participants and severity of COVID (p<0.002), duration and severity of pain after COVID (p<0.003), smoking and global weakness after COVID (p<0.006), general health and severity of COVID (p<0.010), general health and severity of weakness (p< 0.02), general health and severity of pain (p< 0.05), exercise before COVID and severity of COVID (p< 0.001), exercise recovery from active COVID and severity of weakness (p< 0.04).
Conclusion: Musculoskeletal symptoms are features of post-COVID-19 survivors. This study found a significant association between different factors which would be helpful in the future for conduction empirical research.
