Authors: Musyafa’ah Nurul , Mamlu’ah Aya , Ulin Nuha Muhammad Afthon 
Published: July 2023

In general, corruption fulfils elements such as unlawful acts, abuse of authority, and opportunities, enriching oneself, and harming the finances or economy of the State. One of the contents contained in Surah Ali Imron Verse 190-191 is dhikr praising Allah SWT with His noble names; it should be done on various occasions to always remember and connect with Allah SWT. This study uses qualitative, and this type of research is descriptive-analytic research; the purpose of this research is to determine what factors make the corrupt actions of government officials in Leran village, Senori district, and Tuban regency getting more minor and almost non-existent and how to implement the interpretation of the social reality of the Qur'an. Surah Ali Imron verses 190-191 as a socio-cultural education in preventing corrupt actions in all levels of government officials in the Leran village, Senori district, Tuban regency. In addition to interviews, data collection also uses documentation and observations with government officials in Leran village, Senori district, and Tuban regency. The results of the research on the Implementation of the Interpretation of Social Reality of the Al-Qur'an Surah Ali Imron Verse 190-191 as a Socio-Cultural Education to Prevent Corrupt Actions in Leran village, Senori district, Tuban regency, namely istighotsah together once a week this is often carried out by the Tuban regency government by instructing, involving and inviting all villages in the Tuban area including the ranks of government officials from Leran village, Senori district, Tuban regency. Another activity that is also running is reciting the Qur'an together at the Leran Village Hall every three months on Kliwon Fridays from 07.00 to 11.00. This is a separate encouragement for the ranks of government officials in the Leran village, Senori district, Tuban regency, because, in this activity, the village officials also participate in reading the Qur'an, besides some listening to the reading of the Qur'an.
“With the Kindness Shown to Me”: Assessing Remote Teaching and Learning Strategies in a Time of Pandemic
Authors: Carpenter Rowanna , Kerrigan Seanna , Reitenauer Vicki L. 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
In this article, the authors share the “pandemic” assessment method advanced after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, a method based in longstanding assessment processes in their institution’s General Education program and reimagined through collegial interactions among faculty. After identifying what changed in their program-level assessment processes, and how, they identify key findings from two aspects of the assessment: student comments on end-of-term course evaluations and faculty comments from a portfolio review process. Finally, they offer their program’s takeaways from this revised assessment approach, including the elements from the pandemic year that they will continue to draw on into the future.
Toward an Engaged and Engaging “Garden” Paideia for General Education and Beyond: Centripetal and Centrifugal Dimensions of Classrooms, Coursework, and Curricula
Authors: Brigham Matthew P. 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
As higher education seeks to define and justify itself in a “post-pandemic” world, it is important to understand the role of centripetal and centrifugal forces. The centrifugal approach suggests engagement facing outward and away from the classroom, from curricula, and from campus in favor of service learning, internships, political involvement, and other similar activities. While valuable, such efforts risk neglecting classroom, curriculum, and campus. However, a (re)turn inward, with a purely centripetal focus, is neither satisfactory nor possible. This article argues that higher education (and society) is optimally served by uniting the best of General Education (as experienced through classroom pedagogy of its curriculum) and outward-facing engagement efforts. The author offers the pedagogical program (paideia) of Greek rhetorician Isocrates as a model of such an approach, given the significant duration of time (years) and sequence required to complete it, and since it was seen as both successful and enjoyable for/by its students. General Education in this model embraces not a banking pedagogy but the “not-yetness” of students and teachers alike, and in contrast to the metaphors of the ivory tower and the laboratory, the article offers an alternative, drawn from Jeffrey Walker’s description of the Isocratean paideia: the sweet garden.
“Me Time”: Motherhood, Reading, and Myths of Leisure
Authors: Bhalla Tamara , Dicuirci Lindsay 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
In this micro article, the authors survey the media landscape, including bestseller lists and celebrity book club culture, think pieces and mommy blogs, to examine the discourse around “me time,” reading, and motherhood. The article explores how the cultivation of “me time,” which is ostensibly about taking time away from mothering, returns mothers to the work of self-improvement, disguised as self-care. The books that mothers are reading (judged by their posts online, book awards, bestseller lists, book club culture, etc.) and the ways they are blogging about “me time” reading suggests that under the conditions of twenty-first-century neoliberalism, reading mothers must use this time to meditate upon and improve their mothering. “Me time” reading is framed as a separation from maternal labor but instead impels mothers to justify their solitary habit and redeem reading as a contribution to—rather than detraction from—family life.
The Labor of Academic Journals: Or, Is Anyone Going to Read This?
Authors: Laine Eero , Carriger Michelle Liu 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
In the arts and humanities, reading is both an obligation and an indulgence—on the one hand, reading another article or book chapter when you should be writing is the height of procrastination; on the other, reading is a fundamental prerequisite to knowing the field, situating oneself in it, and completing responsible research. In excerpts from the authors’ ongoing oral history project with journal editors from the fields of theater and performance studies, the editors wonder: who is reading the materials that is published? What aspects of reading might be illuminated from the perspective of the people working to provide various disciplines with texts to read? Indeed, what if editors are the only ones reading some of the work in journals?
“The childhood I was meant to be in”: The Queer Time of Reading
Authors: Pyke Sarah 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
How can attention to queer adults’ childhood reading illuminate the complex temporalities of queer experience—and of reading itself? Developing existing critical work on non-linear time, reading and book use, this article proposes queerness as a mode and oral history as a method for provoking new thinking about reading-in-time and how the manipulation of the material book might facilitate time unfolding differently. Analyzing the Textual Preferences archive, in which ten LGBTQ+ adults reflect on their formative reading, the article shows how recalling and rereading key books from childhood enables readers to produce belatedly legible aspects of their “protoqueer” child-selves. Through encounters with texts by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Ruby Ferguson, Louisa May Alcott, Enid Blyton, Kenneth Grahame, Susan Coolidge and Joanna Trollope, these readers use books to negotiate growing up, to disrupt and defend against the progress of chronological time, and to reshape their past experiences, both in life and in reading.
Detection of Leptomeningeal Carcinomatosis by Cerebrospinal Fluid in a Dog with a Negative MRI
Authors: Al Kafaji Tania , Cantile Carlo , Tocco Fabio , Gallucci Antonella 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTAn 11 yr old female French bulldog was presented for acute onset of seizures and a 2 wk history of disorientation. On physical examination, a nodular mass at the fourth mammary gland level was observed. Neurological evaluation showed obtundation and compulsive behavior. Brain MRI study did not reveal any abnormalities. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) collected from the cerebellomedullary cistern showed a marked increase of total nucleated cell count (400 cells/μL). Cytological evaluation identified the presence of a monomorphic round cell population characterized by large cell bodies, a single eccentrical located nucleus with high nuclear:cytoplasmatic ratio, and marked atypia with anisocytosis, anisokaryosis, and multiple nucleoli. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) was suspected. The dog was euthanatized for worsening of clinical signs. Post-mortem examination identified an anaplastic mammary carcinoma in the nodular mammary mass. Infiltration by neoplastic cells exhibiting the same morphological features was detected along leptomeninges of the telencephalon and cerebellum associated with cortical and subcortical parenchymal micrometastases. To our knowledge, this is the first case of LC in a dog detected by CSF evaluation but without any MRI abnormalities. This finding emphasizes the usefulness of CSF cytology in patients with suspected LC even in the absence of any MRI identifiable lesions.
Fluoroscopy-Guided Surgical Removal of a Microchip from the Spinal Canal of Two Cats
Authors: Mergl Justin , Nutt Laura , Pareja Augusto 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT
Two cats were presented with acute left-sided paresis after implantation of a microchip at the referring veterinary clinic. Neurological examinations were consistent with left-sided lesions between spinal cord segments C1 and C5. Orthogonal radiographs of the cervical spine showed a microchip dorsoventrally oriented, partially embedded in the cervical vertebral canal. Fluoroscopy was used to localize and retrieve the foreign body from the cervical spinal cord in each case. Improvement in clinical condition and return to ambulation was observed in both cats within 48 hr of surgical removal of the implant. No significant perioperative adverse events were noted during the surgical retrieval of the microchip. Two previously reported cases of intraspinal canal microchip placement had been treated surgically by hemilaminectomy. This approach carries a risk of complications, including hemorrhage from the venous sinus, iatrogenic damage to the spinal cord, and improper identification of the surgical site, requires advanced surgical training, and typically has an extended surgical time. The use of fluoroscopy to assist intraoperative localization of a spinal canal foreign body may lessen the requirement for more invasive surgical procedures.
Association between MPV and Cerebral Vascular Ischemic Burden in Mild to Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease

Title: Association between MPV and Cerebral Vascular Ischemic Burden in Mild to Moderate Alzheimers’s Disease
Running Title: MPV and Ischemic Burden in AD
ABSTRACT
Objective: Vascular pathologies and chronic neuroinflammation play an important role in Alzheimer's Disease(AD). Increased platelet activity, which underlies the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and systemic inflammation, has been reported several times in the setting of AD. However, the relationship between this increase and neuroimaging correlates has not been studied yet. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV), as a reliable indicator of platelet activity, and vascular ischemic burden in neuroimaging of AD. Material- Method: Medical records of mild-moderate AD cases diagnosed in our dementia outpatient clinic between 2021-2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were classified as having "mild" or "severe" vascular ischemic burden on MRI. Clinical findings and platelet markers were compared between the groups. Multivariate regression was applied for potential confounders regarding vascular ischemic burden. Results: Out of 59 patients, 36 had 'mild' and 23 had 'severe' ischemic burden. Demographic and clinical features were similar; however, MPV was significantly higher in the group with severe ischemia (p:0.013). Multivariate analysis revealed an independent association between MPV and ischemic burden. An MPV value of ≥8.7 fL had a sensitivity of 69.6% and a specificity of 61% for the presence of severe burden.
Discussion: Our results highlight the role of platelet activation in the vascular pathogenesis of AD. During the early evaluation of AD, increased MPV can serve as a marker to determine the high-risk group in terms of cerebral ischemic burden. This might enable close monitoring and timely management of high-risk patients regarding the development of vascular morbidities. Keywords: Alzheimer's Disease, mean platelet volume, MPV, vascular ischemic burden, inflammation
Precision Teaching for maths: An academic critique
Authors: Harris Nicole , Wright Sarah 
Published: July 2023

This critique briefly summarises the evolution of the Precision Teaching (PT) approach, exploring what PT is, who it can be used with and its theoretical underpinnings. The results of a systematic literature search exploring the question ‘Is Precision Teaching effective at improving maths skills in school aged children and young people?’ are then discussed.Based on the five publications reviewed, the interventions that involved PT generally showed greater performance gains than the control or comparison group. Given the highly specific conditions of these interventions however, it is not possible to generalise the intervention effects beyond these studies. It must therefore be concluded that based on these five papers, it is not possible to say whether PT is an effective way to support maths skills.The implications for professional practice suggest a need to establish an evidence base, built around formalised and structured evaluations of PT, that use a control or comparison group. It is suggested that more teachers be involved in this process rather than it being the role of academics. This would enable teachers and Educational Psychologists to speak with more certainty of the efficacy of PT at improving maths skills in school aged children and young people.

“The Sum of All Fears” from Novel to Film: Shifting the Discourse of Terrorism
Authors: Rahayu Mundi , Sahiruddin Sahiruddin , Risdianto Faizal , Rusdiah Rusdiah , Rabiah Sitti , Taufiqurrochman R. 
Published: July 2023

This article aims at exploring the terrorist representation in the film The Sum of All Fears (2002), which is adapted from the novel with the same title. The study is drawn from Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, with its three dimensions of analysis. The first dimension is the micro level that deals with the language used in social practice. The second dimension analyzes the discourse practice, such as intertextuality, text production, and consumption, that relate to the reference of ideas presented. The third dimension, called the macro level, deals with the social context of a text, such as the practice of exercising power through particular discourse. The finding reveals that the adapted film directed by Phil Alden Robinson represents the terrorists whose identity differs from the one in the novel. Besides, the discourse of terrorism developed in the film has three essential elements, the nuclear weapon, the terrorist, and the international relation between America-Russia in danger. The novel and film share the same idea of nuclear weapons as the threat. The other similar aspect is the implication of a nuclear bomb attack on the international relations between the USA and Russia, which might lead to war. However, the terrorist identity in both media is shifted. In the novel, the terrorist is depicted as an Arab-nationalists, while in the film, the terrorist is a neo-Nazi. Both portrayals of terrorists involve stereotyping and labeling and represent different political discourses. The discourse of terrorism in the novel is represented as the Arab-origin terrorist. At the same time, the film underpinned the idea that terrorism implies the contestation of the Cold War or two superpower nations. The film also reveals that the individual breakthrough done by Jack Ryan proves the solution to the rigid bureaucracy at the top executive level.
