Published: October 2021

Background Perinatal mortality remains a challenge worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Although significant achievements have been made to reduce neonatal mortality worldwide, in the last two decades there was a total of 5.3 million neonatal deaths and stillbirths each year. This study aims to assess the magnitude of perinatal mortality and its contributing factors among births at the Jimma University Medical Centre in Ethiopia. Method A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted between January and April 2017. Convenience sampling was used to select study participants and data were collected using interviewer-administered pretested structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data, with the chi-square test used to assess the relationship between each factor and outcome. Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Results The rate of perinatal death was 107 per 1000 births, of which 39.2%, 25.9% and 34.9% were fresh stillbirths, macerated stillbirths and early neonatal deaths respectively. The majority (77.8%) of stillbirths occurred before the study participant reached the hospital and 64.3% of stillbirths had low birth weight. Hyaline membrane disease (27.6%) and meconium aspiration syndrome (20.7%) were the two most common causes of early perinatal death. Obstetric complications contributed to 89.6% of perinatal deaths. Stillbirth was significantly associated with a lack of education (P=0.036). The rate of perinatal mortality was high among women with their first pregnancy (53.0%) and those who had no previous pregnancy-related problems (79.5%), and was significantly associated with mechanical causes and antepartum haemorrhage (P=0.015). Conclusions The findings indicated that the rate of perinatal mortality was high at the Himma University Medical Centre. Improving maternal education and health services in rural areas are important steps to prevent poor perinatal outcomes. Facilitating transport and improving referral procedures may help to prevent mechanical complications, which are the most common cause of perinatal death, particularly fresh stillbirths which, in the present study, often occurred before a participant arrived at the hospital.

Published: October 2021

Background/Aims In 2015, the World Health Organization recommended male partner involvement in maternal and child health as an effective strategy to combat maternal and child health in pregnancy. Healthcare practitioners' acceptance of male partners in maternal and child healthcare is likely to improve provider and patient satisfaction. The main objective of the study was to assess nurses' and midwives' perceptions of male partner involvement in maternity care, and their willingness and constraints to performing it in selected hospitals in Imo, Nigeria. Methods A mixed-method approach was used to gather data from nurses and midwives in the antenatal care, labour and postnatal care wards of selected hospitals. A semi-structured questionnaire and interview guide were used to collect data assessing the participants' perceptions of male partner involvement in maternity care and of the barriers to it. Quantitative data were analysed through bivariate analysis, using the Chi squared test, and key quotes were extracted from qualitative data to illustrate relevant points. Results The majority (57%) of the respondent had a good perception of the concept of male partner involvement. The ward that a participant worked in significantly affected their perception (P=0.01). Respondents were willing to accept male partners in maternity care through education and providing more male-friendly services. However, sociocultural, hospital policy and structural factors restricted acceptance of men in the wards. Conclusions Nurses and midwives in all wards should be educated on the importance of male partner involvement in maternity care. Nurses and midwives need to engage in community health education programmes that will modify cultural constraints to male partner involvement and facilities should modify their structure and policies to be more male-friendly.

Published: October 2021

Background/Aims Ongoing education of midwives plays a key role in high-quality prenatal care and pregnant women's health. In Iran, online education has received growing attention because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to compare the effects of interactive and non-interactive e-learning on midwives' knowledge and self-efficacy. Methods This quasi-experimental study involved 76 midwives working in prenatal care in health centres who were randomly divided into two groups: interactive e-learning via computers and non-interactive e-learning via mobile applications. Knowledge and self-efficacy were measured pre- and post-intervention using an online questionnaire and differences were analysed using the chi-squared and t tests. Results Knowledge scores in nutrition, exercise, and overall care during pregnancy increased significantly in both groups in the post-intervention phase. Self-efficacy scores increased in exercise and overall care in the interactive e-learning group. The self-efficacy scores for all four studied items improved significantly in the smartphone group. The two groups' knowledge and self-efficacy scores were not significantly different post-intervention. Conclusions E-learning had positive effects on the knowledge and self-efficacy of midwives. The researchers suggest using these approaches alongside conventional in-service education methods.

Published: October 2021

Introducción: El objetivo fue determinar la relación existente entre el nivel de actividad física y la calidad de la dieta mediterránea en escolares de Bachillerato.
Material y método: Estudio transversal realizado con 119 escolares de Murcia (España) con un rango de edad comprendido entre los 16-17 años. Estos escolares fueron seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico intencional. Se valoró la calidad de la dieta mediterránea (CD) a través del cuestionario Mediterranean Diet Quality Index in children and adolescents y la actividad física (AF) a través del cuestionario International Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents. El análisis estadístico ha sido llevado a cabo mediante las pruebas estadísticas ji al cuadrado de Pearson, T Student, One-way ANOVA y un análisis de regresión lineal.
Resultados: Los resultados de los análisis mostraron diferencias significativas en el promedio de la actividad física, donde los varones mostraron valores más elevados que las mujeres (p < 0.001). Entre las mujeres, aquellas con un menor nivel de AF mostraron un mayor uso de aceite de oliva y desayunar habitualmente bolleria industrial (p<0,005). Entre los varones, aquellos con un nivel de AF mayor mostraron un mayor consumo de verduras frescas, de pasta o arroz y, frutos secos (p<0,005). Considerando el total, respecto a las diferencias en el nivel de AF en función de la CD, se encontraron diferencias entre un nivel alto de CD y sus pares homólogos con un nivel bajo (p< 0,001). Por último, se halló una asociación entre la AF y la CD (p < 0,001) con un valor de R2 = 0,275.
Conclusiones: Una mayor actividad física se relaciona con una mayor calidad de la dieta media en escolares de Bachillerato. Estos resultados son de interés para el contexto sanitario y educativo ya que un correcto desarrollo de ambos constructos resulta de especial interés para orientarse hacia la adherencia de estilos de vida saludables. Asimismo, se deben crear programas formativos adecuados a las necesidades y características que presenta la sociedad del siglo XXI.

‘Invisible’ spatial meaning: a text-based study of covert Path encoding in Ancient Greek
Authors: De Pasquale Noemi 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper aims to explore the main constructions showing a covert encoding of Path of motion in Classical Greek (5th–4th century BC). Based on a corpus study of five texts belonging to different literary genres, it applies the theoretical frameworks and conceptual tools of contemporary linguistic approaches, such as the semantic typology of motion events and Construction Grammar, to the data from an ancient language, in order to address the non-compositional expression of Path. The results of the analysis reveal that, in addition to the overt morphosyntactic encoding of Path information, Ancient Greek resorts to more implicit patterns, in which coercion, meaning extension and inference play a crucial role. Furthermore, as opposed to traditional views on motion expression, this study shows that the encoding of spatial meaning is rarely committed to a single lexical or morphological tool within the clause, but rather it distributes across different linguistic units and results from their interaction with one another.
A metalinguistic analysis of the terminology of evidential categories: experiential, conjecture or deduced?
Authors: Keinänen Satu 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWhile evidential categories have similar meanings and uses cross-linguistically, the names given to the categories tend to vary. This article surveys the terms for evidentials used in descriptive grammars of 51 languages that have at least three evidential categories. Comparing terms to find common terminological tendencies can provide useful insights into the descriptions of categories. There is great deal of term synonymy and term polysemy, but each evidential category has its typical terms that are semantically motivated. The term synonymy is the result of emphasizing different semantic aspects of the evidential categories, which leads to variable term choices. There is terminological overlap between categories involving sensory perception (i.e. visual, direct, and nonvisual sensory evidentials), inference, and second-hand information, which suggests that they may not always be considered sufficiently conceptually distinct to merit unique terms, especially when the terms for inferential and assumptive evidentials are frequently created from the same words. The variation of the terminology is also connected to how the understanding of evidentiality and relationship to other adjacent categories has developed.
Kontrafaktische Intertextualität im Koran und die exegetische Tradition des syrischen Christentums
Authors: Ghaffar Zishan 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In der modernen Koranforschung wurde wiederholt auf die Bedeutung des Erbes der syrischen Sprache und des syrischen Christentums für ein tieferes Verständnis des Korans verwiesen. Die vorliegende Studie versucht zu zeigen, wie sich das Verhältnis der koranischen Verkündigung zu diesem Erbe auf intertextueller Ebene systematisieren lässt. Dazu wird die hier besprochene Form der koranischen Intertextualität als kontrafaktisch beschrieben. Anhand der Ankündigungs- und Geburtsgeschichten von Jesus und Johannes dem Täufer im Koran wird diese Form der kontrafaktischen Intertextualität im Koran exemplifiziert. Dabei wird aufgezeigt, dass die koranische Theologie ganz bestimmte christologische und soteriologische Konzepte aus der Tradition des syrischen Christentums adressiert.
Whence Come Qurʾān Manuscripts? Determining the Regional Provenance of Early Qurʾānic Codices
Authors: Vahidnia Ala 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In studies of early Qurʾānic manuscripts, determining the provenance of these manuscripts is a thorny issue because in most cases they lack endowment notes or colophons. The reports in early Islamic sources regarding textual variants of regional codices (maṣāḥif al-amṣār) may contribute to find a solution to this problem. A list of regional variants, mostly based on al-Dānī’s al-Muqniʿ, can be found in Nöldeke et al.’s The History of the Quran. However, as the authors have stated, a comparison of some of the early Qurʾānic manuscripts in the Topkapı Sarayı Museum with this table of maṣāḥif al-amṣār variants indicates that the traditional reports are unreliable for identifying the provenance of Qurʾānic manuscripts because none of these codices can be attributed to any particular region. The present article is an attempt to demonstrate that this problem results from relying solely on the data provided by al-Dānī and ignoring earlier and more significant sources, such as al-Sijistānī’s Kitāb al-Maṣāḥif. It attempts to provide a new and more precise classification of regional variants by reading afresh the reports on the features of maṣāḥif al-amṣār, taking into account the sources which were not used by Nöldeke et al., especially al-Sijistānī’s Kitāb al-Maṣāḥif, thus making the list of maṣāḥif al-amṣār variants more accurate, thereby the variants of each of these early Qurʾānic Codices tally more with the reports preserved for the characteristics of one of the maṣāḥif al-amṣār in literary sources. As the texts of the surviving manuscripts are not of a diverse nature we are able, with some certainty, to draw conclusions that substantiate the reports as to the peculiarities of the muṣḥafs of different cities.
The Prophet Shaving: Persians and the Origin of the Malay Hikayat Nabi Bercukur
Authors: Daneshgar Majid 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This article is about a well-known anonymous folk story in the Malay-Indonesian world, called Hikayat Nabi Bercukur (“The Story of Prophet Shaving”), found in various different languages across the region. The only scholarly conjecture about its origin is based on the copy of a Malay manuscript held in Leiden which has been deliberately blackened and struck through by a reader who stated in the margin that the story is written by a Rāfiḍī and should not be believed. Although earlier scholars mentioned the title or the synopsis of this story in their works and bibliographical catalogues, the question “what is the origin of this story?” remained unanswered. In order to follow up on previous studies and to find an answer, this essay examines numerous original manuscripts and texts in various languages and provides a comparison between the Malay versions and their prototype. Also, to the best of my knowledge, the first edition and English translation of the prototype are presented.
The Textual Evolution of the Ottoman Şeyhülislams’ Fetvas: A Cross-Corpora Computational Analysis
Authors: Ergene Boğaç , Kaygun Atabey 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In this article, we use a mix of computational techniques to identify textual shifts in the Ottoman şeyhülislams’ fetvas between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries. Our analysis, supplemented by a close reading of these texts, indicates that the fetvas underwent multiple forms of transformation, a consequence of the institutional evolution of the şeyhülislam’s fetva office (fetvahane) that aimed to speed up and streamline the production of the fetvas: over time, the texts appropriated a more uniform character and came to contain shorter responses. In the compositions of the questions, we identified many “trigger terms” that facilitated reflexive responses independent of the fetvas’ jurisprudential contexts, a tendency that became stronger after the second half of the seventeenth century. In addition, we propose in the article a methodology that measures the relative strengths of textual and conceptual links among the fetva corpora of various Ottoman şeyhülislams. This analysis informs us about possible paths of long-term evolution of this genre of jurisprudential documents.
Language choice in churches in indigenous Gã towns: a multilingual balancing act
Authors: Campbell Akua Asantewaa , Anderson Jemima Asabea 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper examines the determinant factors motivating language choice in churches in coastal Accra, an area characterized by a high degree of urbanization and multilingualism. As this region is also ethnically Gã, we survey the attitudes of Gã congregants to the use of other languages in their churches, bearing in mind the pressure faced by Gã from the more dominant vehicular languages, Akan and English. Data was obtained via participant observation, questionnaires and interviews. Using domain analysis, we show that language choice in the church domain is guided by the diametric principles of inclusiveness and church expansion on the one hand, and the conservation of a homogeneous socio-cultural identity on the other. Multilingual churches espouse the former while monolingual churches prize the latter. Gã congregants in churches that make extensive use of Akan and English report feeling satisfied with the language choices in their churches as they see these lingua francas as necessary for reaching out to the wider community. Although in other spheres of life there is irritation among Gã natives about the diminishing role of their language, in the church domain, this is readily tolerated for the greater good of advancing the church’s work.
Interfering elements on determination of hexavalent chromium in paper materials with UV-vis spectrophotometry
Authors: Lee Tai Ju , Kim Hyoung Jin 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Regulation of hexavalent chromium is based on Waste Framework Directive 1994/62/EC, European Commission and publication of the World Health Organization. Herein, detection of hexavalent chromium was performed by alkaline digestion and instrumental analysis which was demonstrated in USEPA methods. However, UV-vis detection method could be affected by some metal ions reacted with diphenylcarbizide. Actually, various interfering elements, such as Ni, Fe, Al, and Cu, were detected and selected by ED-XRF in paper materials. In order to improve accuracy of analysis results of hexavalent chromium in paper materials based on USEPA methods, the interfering elements was removed by liquid–liquid extraction with carbonate media using tricaprylmethylammonium chloride and chloroform after alkaline digestion. Consequently, the temperature for alkaline digestion was between 85 and 95 °C. Hydrochloric acid was proper complex tricaprylmethylammonium-Cr(VI) in the procedure of liquid extraction. After that hexavalent chromium was completely extracted using of 1 M sodium hydroxide solution. The technique for analyzing the hexavalent chromium used in liquid–liquid extraction significantly reduced the errors caused by the interfering elements, Fe and Cu. Thus, application of the extraction method was efficient in removing the interfering elements, which increased the recovery ratio of the hexavalent chromium from paper materials by 90 %.
To Harm and Heal: Digital Disclosure and Support-Seeking for IPV Victims
Authors: Eckstein Jessica J. 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Technology is used both to harm and assist people in romantic relationships. For intimate partner violence (IPV) victims, online forums, social media, and digital resources are used to cope with and/or seek support. What remains unknown is the extent to which in-person and digital abuse experiences affect victims’ subsequent preferences for and likelihood of using such channels to reveal and get help for their IPV. This study explored how abuse types and victims’ personal and relational characteristics affected preferences for and reported use of technology-mediated-disclosure and -support-seeking. Quantitative self-reports of IPV victims (N = 495; 157 men and 338 women) indicated sought target and media type (in-person or online, sex-specific or co-ed groups, open or closed digital platforms, professional- or lay-managed resources) each varied according to multiple personal (age, sex) and IPV-specific (physical, psychological, and digital abuse) factors; technological experiences; and disclosure and support-seeking practices and preferences of victims. Findings are discussed in terms of implications for digital wellness policies and practices.
Sonic Becomings: Rhythmic Encounters in Interspecies Improvisation
Authors: Collenberg Louisa 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
David Rothenberg, a philosophy professor and Jazz musician, has been improvising with nonhuman animals for years, among his playing partners are birds and whales, known to be territorial animals. As Deleuze and Guattari propose that the origin of art is precisely the territorialising animal and more a function of nature than a specifically human cultural achievement, their concept of territory and rhythm offers a non-anthropocentric way of looking at these encounters. Rothenberg’s sonic experiments in resonance and interspecies interaction do not rely on language, thus I argue that the human and the nonhuman animals form a temporary joint territory via sonic rhythms and engage in a mutual becoming by forming a rhizome. His sound thinking practice thus also helps in decentralising further anthropocentric models of music and art.
