En finir avec les Barbaresques
Authors: Calafat Guillaume 
Published: September 2024

Barbaresque Attesté en italien dès le xiii e siècle, le mot renvoie de façon large aux peuples d’Afrique du Nord-Ouest, du Maroc à la Libye, la « Barbarie » des cosmographies européennes. Connoté péjorativement pour qualifier la cruauté et la violence, et tracer ainsi une frontière entre barbarie et civilisation, il est associé la plupart du temps aux opérations corsaires. Assez peu utilisé en français au xvii e siècle, son usage se développe dans les mémoires, la littérature et les dictionnaires des xviii e et xix e siècles. Capitulations Privilèges commerciaux et religieux octroyés par les sultans ottomans aux étrangers (en particulier les marchands) notamment dans les ports du Levant.
Human-Centered Community Engagement in Online Education: Developing a Critical Online Service-Learning Pedagogy
Authors: Derreth Tyler 
Published: September 2024

With continued growth in online education, higher education institutions have moved community engagement further into virtual spaces through e-service learning courses (Faulconer, 2020). These courses have a history of being client-based, rather than critical or transformational (Strait &amp; Nordyke, 2015). I argue that this conception of e-service learning stems from an entrenched neoliberalism in online education and service-learning pedagogies. In response, this paper proposes a humanity-centered, anti-neoliberal pedagogical framework for e-service learning. Through a critical theoretical methodology of sociological imagination (Kelly et al., 2021), I argue for a critical online service-learning (COSL) pedagogy that expands opportunities for access, equity, and solidarity through humanity-centered methods of instruction in the midst of higher education’s neoliberal turn. The COSL framework relies on three converging nexuses (student-community, global-local, and individual-structural) that reframe seeming limitations of e-service learning into critical advantages for deepening student learning and advancing community goals all through a fully online experience.
Rapamycin Prevents Expansion of Costimulation Blockade-resistant CD8+ Alloreactive Memory Cells following Depletional Induction in Renal Transplant Recipients
Authors: Li Shu , Gao Qimeng , Xu He , Kirk Allan D 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Alemtuzumab induction with belatacept/rapamycin-based maintenance immunotherapy (ABR) prevents kidney allograft rejection and specifically limits early costimulation blockade–resistant rejection (CoBRR). To evaluate the mechanisms by which this regimen alters CoBRR, we characterized the phenotype and functional response of preexisting memory cells to allogeneic endothelial cells using intracellular cytokine staining and flow cytometry. IL-7–induced lymphocyte proliferation in the presence or absence of rapamycin was assessed to characterize the phenotype of proliferating cells. Lymphocytes from 40 recipients who underwent transplant using the ABR regimen were studied longitudinally. The rapid immunoresponses of preexisting alloreactive cells to allogeneic endothelial cells were predominantly CD8+TNF-α+/IFN-γ+ cells. These cells were effector memory (TEM) and terminally differentiated effector memory cells lacking CD28 expression, and most were CD57+PD1−. Neither rapamycin nor belatacept directly inhibited these cells. IL-7, a cytokine induced during lymphopenia postdepletion, provoked dramatic CD8+ TEM cell proliferation and a low level of CD8+CD57+PD1− cell expansion in vitro. The IL-7 stimulation induced CD8+ cell mTOR phosphorylation, and rapamycin treatment markedly inhibited IL-7–induced TEM and CD57+PD1− cell expansion. This effect was evident in patients receiving the ABR in that the repopulation of CD8+CD57+PD1− TEM cells was substantially suppressed for at least 36 mo after transplant. These findings help define one mechanism by which a costimulation blockade/rapamycin-based therapy following alemtuzumab induction minimizes CoBRR, namely that in the presence of rapamycin, costimulation-resistant alloreactive cells are disproportionately ineffective at repopulating following post-transplant T cell depletion.

Abstract
Expression of IL-15 on the surface of human graft endothelial cells (ECs) bound to the IL-15Rα subunit can increase the activation of CTLs, potentiating allograft rejection. Our previous work showed that surface expression of this protein complex could be induced by alloantibody-mediated complement activation through increased IL-1β synthesis, secretion, and autocrine/paracrine IL-1–mediated activation of NF-κB. In this article, we report that cultured human ECs express eight differently spliced IL-15 transcripts. Remarkably, IL-1β does not alter the expression level of any IL-15 transcript but induces surface expression independently of RNA polymerase II–mediated transcription while requiring new protein translation. Mechanistically, IL-1β causes an NF-κB–mediated reduction in the level of microRNA Let-7c-3p, thereby relieving a block of translation of IL-15 surface protein. Let7c-3p anti-miR can induce EC surface expression of IL-15/IL-15Rα in the absence of complement activation or of IL-1, enabling IL-15 transpresentation to boost CD8 T cell activation. Because of the complexity we have uncovered in IL-15 regulation, we recommend caution in interpreting increased total IL-15 mRNA or protein levels as a surrogate for transpresentation.
Clinical Presentation and Management of Post Coronavirus Disease 2019 Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Narrative Review of Literature
Authors: Parameswaran Apurve , Apsingi Sunil , Eachempati Krishna Kiran 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this review was to identify and describe what is known regarding the clinical presentation and the various methods of management of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), based on current literature. COVID-19 results from infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus2. A large number of infected patients manifest multi-systemic pathologies for several weeks to months following recovery. This condition is now identified as postacute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS). COVID-19 could result in ONFH either directly due to endothelial dysfunction and a hypercoagulable state, or secondary to corticosteroid medications used during its management, as a manifestation of PACS. Despite a fairly widespread awareness of this condition, there is a scarcity of literature regarding its clinical presentation and management. A literature search was conducted using the following electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Scopus. The following search terms were used: “covid (AND) osteonecrosis” and “covid (AND) avascular (AND) necrosis.” The preliminary search results were screened to identify relevant literature. Data pertaining to the clinical presentation and management of post-COVID-19 ONFH were retrieved from these studies, and tabulated and presented systematically. Post-COVID-19 ONFH has been reported in a wide range of age groups, with unilateral or bilateral hip involvement. A greater proportion of reported cases were associated with: the male gender, high body mass index, severe COVID-19 infection, and corticosteroid consumption. The onset of symptoms, commonly pain and difficulty in walking, has been reported to vary from a few days to a few years following the detection of COVID-19. Most studies reported patient presentation with stage-2 or stage-3 ONFH. Conservative management of this condition with bisphosphonates has shown promising preliminary results. Among surgical management options, core decompression and total hip arthroplasty have been described. Long-term outcomes of patients managed with various treatment modalities are currently not available. Future observational studies could confirm the findings in this review, and lay the foundation for high-quality systematic reviews. The information presented herein can aid in the drafting of appropriate screening and surveillance protocols for COVID-19 patients.
Military measures of the USSR in response to the Anglo-French threat of air strikes in the Caucasus (1939–1940)
Authors: Степанов А.С. 
Published: September 2024

Кризисная ситуация, сложившаяся на южных рубежах СССР в начальный период Второй мировой войны и достигшая опасного пика весной 1940 г. в связи с пла- нами англо-французской коалиции по выведению из строя кавказских нефтяных место- рождений, представляла реальную угрозу для Советского Союза. С целью срыва по- добных планов советское военно-политическое руководство приняло целый ряд мер, в том числе – незамедлительно резко усилило силы авиации и флота на южных рубежах СССР и разрабатывало ответные планы против англо-французской коалиции.
The crisis situation that developed on the southern borders of the USSR in the initial period of World War II and reached a dangerous peak in the spring of 1940 in connection with the plans of the Anglo-French coalition to disable the Caucasian oil fields posed a real threat to the Soviet Union. In order to disrupt such plans, the Soviet military-political leadership took a number of measures, including immediately sharply strengthening the air and naval forces on the southern borders of the USSR and developing retaliatory plans against the Anglo-French coalition.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS AND ARTISTIC PROBATION IN SELECTED NIGERIAN POETRY
Authors: Akano Reuben Kehinde 
Published: September 2024

The implication/engagement of the theme of the environment by scholars in critical mode cannot be divorced from the many degradable pressures visited on it in different forms by man. The implication of the environment by humans in various ways has necessitated the continuous engagement of the theme by scholars of diverse fields. For obvious reasons, the environment harbours and nurtures man and as such tolerating its implication/ negative impact on it portends an unimaginable magnitude of danger for man and his generations. This paper examines the issues of the environment from the perspective of art. The focus is on the effects of pressure on the environment and its implication for the survival and corporate existence of the inhabitants. Poetic writings of Tanure Ojaide and Niyi Osundare shall be x-rayed as the grain of analysis. An ecocritical theory shall be adopted to guide and illuminate the analysis of the selected poetic collections. It is the findings of the study that artistic discourse on the environment is multifaceted and that poets of Nigerian extraction have been consistent in their engagement in this respect. It is recommended that the crusade for a safe environment should be continuously vigorous without neglecting poetic productions on the subject matter.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0905/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
THE IMPACT OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ON EMPLOYEE’S PERFORMANCE IN COMMERCIAL BANKS OF SIERRA LEONE CASE STUDY: UNITED BANK OF AFRICA (SL) LTD
Authors: Thoronka Nendaywa , Combey Hannah Princillia 
Published: September 2024

The goal of the study was to examine how employee performance in Sierra Leone's commercial banks is affected by training and development, with a particular focus on United Bank of Africa Sierra Leone Limited as a case study. The research was expected to accomplish the following goals: ascertain the effect of job delegation on employee performance, evaluate the effect of job rotation on employee performance in UBA, and ascertain the influence of mentoring on employee performance in UBA. The entire philosophy of training and development was covered in a fair and balanced manner in the literature review. In order to better understand the effect that training and development have on the performance of their employees, a review of the theoretical and empirical literature was conducted by commercial banks. During the investigation, a descriptive research design was employed. Additionally, the study used a qualitative research approach since, as opposed to conducting a broad statistical survey, it explains a specific circumstance or problem. To ensure that only respondents were chosen in order to fulfill the study's objectives, purposive sampling was employed. There are only eighty (80) respondents in the sample study, and 45 of the questionnaires were returned fully. A combination of primary and secondary sources was used to gather data. Following the data collection process, the researchers arranged a well-completed questionnaire, revised the data, and arranged it for the following step. Tabular data with frequencies and percentages were used to present the data. According to the study's conclusions, mentoring significantly improves employee performance at UBA by offering a reward for personal growth at a time when the company's tactics are always changing. According to the study, staff performance and authority delegation are positively connected; employees are more likely to be dedicated when given authority and vice versa. According to the study, managers at UBA should ensure that workers are allowed to work autonomously, as this will lead to a number of advantageous outcomes, including increased job satisfaction, organizational commitment, creative behavior, and productivity.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0425/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
COMMUNICATION, AN IMPORTANT CRITERION OF RHETORIC AND DEMOCRACY
Authors: Hysenaj Valdet , Mujaj Hasan 
Published: September 2024

Communication is the implementation of inspirations and requests through a system of signs. It arose from the expression of thoughts in society, it is the exchange or transfer of information. The connection of the individual with other people depends on communication. The culture of communication is a rhetorical and cultural formation in the light of other sciences related to rhetoric, such as: philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, stylistics, linguistics, poetics, semantics, etc., the knowledge of which creates opportunities for a rich capital and wide eloquence in competence to entice collaborators with the pragmatic vision of implementing projects in practice. So, communication is one of the important criteria of rhetoric and democracy, therefore only with the pragmatics of action, credibility and commitment will be created to advance the contemporary development of the XXI century. Motivation to communicate leads to the establishment of language culture and its normalization and further development. Knowledge of different forms of communicative motivation is essential if we want to encourage communicators to have a positive attitude towards knowledge and an interest in learning during all life. Communication, not only as an object, but in terms of its radiant width also as a subjective factor gives greater opportunities with strong influence for the rise of language culture.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0158/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
NAVIGATING LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION FOR MIGRANT AND REFUGEE YOUTH IN NON-FORMAL SETTINGS: TEACHERS’ PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: Boronilo Eleni , Mogli Marina 
Published: September 2024

The provision of Greek language education to diverse and multilingual groups has become increasingly important, especially in light of the recent refugee crisis. This study explores the teaching strategies used in non-formal educational settings for refugee and migrant children, with a particular focus on the role of their first language (L1) and the importance of intercultural education. It also seeks to identify the challenges teachers face in these non-formal environments. Nine (9) teachers who specialize in non-formal education and teach Greek to refugee and migrant children participated in the study. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings show that teachers use a variety of teaching methods, favoring communicative and student-centered approaches. Although the importance of multicultural education and translanguaging practices was recognized, they were not fully implemented. The study also examines the challenges educators face in their teaching in these settings. These include issues like irregular attendance, cultural and practical factors, mental health problems, language barriers, and varying levels of prior education.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0981/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
POSTMODERN PARODY IN THE IRAQI ALI BADER’S NOVEL “PAPA SARTRE”
Authors: Gebreen Hayder , Jawad Mustafa Talib 
Published: September 2024

<p>This research paper investigates the impact of existentialism on Iraqi society, with a particular focus on the sixties generation as depicted in Ali Bader's novel "<em>Papa</em> <em>Sartre</em>." The study explores the use of parody as a postmodern literary device to satirically critique the influence of existentialist philosophy on individuals and society. By examining the negative repercussions of existentialist philosophy on societies, especially the Iraqi sixties generation, this research delves into the satirical critique embedded in Bader's novel. The primary focus is on parody as a means to highlight the superficial adoption and harmful consequences of certain philosophical ideologies, such as existentialism, within intellectual and societal contexts. The paper aims to demonstrate how individuals and communities can be swayed by philosophical theories without fully understanding their implications. Through the use of parody, the novel encourages readers to engage with the deeper nuances of its narrative, serving as a cautionary tale against the uncritical acceptance of imported ideologies. Furthermore, the research emphasizes the role of literary works in confronting and interrogating critical issues fostering social awareness and discourse. By highlighting the insidious spread of harmful ideologies across generations, the paper advocates for vigilance among future generations to protect against the influence of such detrimental philosophies.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0770/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Therefore, realizing that there have not been many research projects on this program or its message, the research was chosen based on a survey of 50 broadcast episodes in 2022. Through the research process, the readers are expected to gain new knowledge and have a more thorough understanding of life, culture, and society in the Mekong Delta.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0727/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
ASSESSMENT OF MODERN DIGITAL LEARNING TOOLS IN PROMOTING ADULT LEARNING IN LITERACY CLASSES IN PORT HARCOURT METROPOLIS, NIGERIA
Authors: Dokubo Chidinma , Adong Helen Akpama , Orgwu Patience Uwelegbewe 
Published: September 2024

This study examined modern digital learning tools for promoting adult learning literacy classes in Port Harcourt Metropolis. The study was guided by three research questions with a population of 2033 adult learners and facilitators in adult literacy centres in the Port Harcourt metropolis. The sample size of the study was 400 respondents comprising 370 adult learners and 30 facilitators in the study area. Taro Yamane formula was adopted in determining the sample size of 370 adult learners. However, the simple random sampling technique was adopted in selecting 15 adult learners in each of the adult literacy centres in the Port Harcourt metropolis to arrive at the sample size of 370 adult learners. The 30 facilitators were taken as a census without sampling. The instrument for data collection in this study was a researcher-designed questionnaire titled Assessment of Modern Digital Learning Tools for Promoting Adult Learning in Literacy Classes Questionnaire. (AMDLTPALLCQ). The instrument was validated by three experts. A test of internal consistency using Cronbach Alpha was carried out to determine the reliability of the instrument. Reliability coefficients of 0.81, 0.86 and 0.91 were obtained for the various clusters of the instrument. The research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation. The findings of the study revealed that the use of modern digital learning tools such as Projeqts, Animato and TED Ed promoted adult learning in literacy centres in Port Harcourt metropolis. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that the Rivers State Agency for Adult and Non- formal education should embark on the training of facilitators on digital literacy to enable them to access and use the modern learning digital tools such as animators, projeqts and others for enhancing learning in their classes.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0937/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
