Elephants in the Archive
Authors: Eriksen Helen 
Published: October 2022

This chapter is an attempt to show how racialised meaning is produced through art practice. It is founded on the following paradox: How can we reconcile ourselves with the fact that racism exists in society when the majority of Norwegians will publicly denounce it? I examine how prevailing art teaching practices are influenced by racial understandings of the self and the Other. Inspired by post-colonial theory, I interrogate experiences in my own White artist-educator practice to uncover power differences and acts of racial dominance. I examine the events of a visual art workshop through two central concepts, White innocence (Wekker, 2016) and the cultural archive (Said, 1993; Wekker, 2016), and consider the operationalisation of structural racial bias through digital technologies and contextualising spatial understanding of art practice.
This is an experimental text that aims to engage the viewer with their emotional embodied understanding of racial positioning as much as academic discourse. I employ the figure of the elephant as a narrative device to disturb reading patterns. The clumsy elephant is a disruptive element in the text, weaving together two distinct forms: the literary and fictive narrative, and the academic discourse. I conclude with the idea of decolonial aesthesis (Vázquez, 2020) as a tool to challenge the dominant aesthetic understanding of art practice as an individual form of expression. Thus, decolonisation or undoing erasure of otherised knowledges and experience is deemed a vital process imperative for students’ well-being, as well as that of teacher educators and student teachers wishing to teach in a pluralistic society. I ask the reader to resonate with the unfolding of “White” gaps in a subjective understanding of the self and give discursive room for addressing the complexities of race through understanding how Whiteness works as a complex phenomenon within Norwegian art education.

Authors: Abdurachman Aditia , Mansoor Alvanov Z. 
Published: October 2022

Indonesia government urges the public to increase their immune system to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus by increasing the consumption of healthy food as well as massive vaccination and mobility restriction. The issue creates opportunity for an enterprise named Ladangkita.id focusing in selling healthy agricultural food especially fruits. This paper evaluates the existing business of Ladangkita.id who often experiences problems during the process in order to create a better business strategy. Using two analytical approaches, which are Business Process Analysis and Porter's Five Forces, the authors found that Ladangkita.id operational cost is bigger than its revenue because of their business process and fruit retail business is highly saturated. Blue Ocean Strategy is proposed by the authors for Ladangkita.id. By eliminating activities that less contribute to revenue, reducing variance of fresh fruits but increasing the variance of processed fruits as well as creating a new value of products may create a better and sustainable business for Ladangkita.id.

Authors: Heriani Sani , Adikara Fransiskus , Siswati  
Published: October 2022

Hospitals in improving services and responding to the challenges of the times and the needs of their users apply the Hospital Information System (HIS). HIS is a series of activities that cover all health services at all levels of administration that can provide information to managers for the process of managing health services in hospitals. Based on the results of the PIECES analysis, there are aspects of performance that are not yet connected to other units, and frequent trouble loading occurs. In the information aspect, the menu in the application display has not been automatically linked between the website and HIS for-outpatient registration. Based on the economic aspect, HIS is not yet paperless and has not been connected to the patient queue time monitor in other units. In the control aspect, the application of HIS has not been able to control the information displayed to each user. Based on the efficiency aspect, there are often additional features in HIS, and in the service aspect, it is found that there is no manual backup in case of system errors. This study uses a quantitative approach with a causal design research design using SPSS multiple regression, aiming to analyze the effect that can improve outpatient registration services in hospitals. This study used a sample of 60 staff related to the hospital registration unit. Results: There is a significant effect of the PIECES aspect of HIS on-outpatient registration at X Hospital Tangerang. The better the PIECES aspect of HIS will result in or improve the quality of outpatient registration services. Based on the results of the study, the implications of this study indicate the magnitude of the influence of the HIS performance aspect that can improve outpatient registration services at the hospital.

Corrosion prevention has been one of the major concerns these days various methods have been adopted for corrosion prevention. However, the use of corrosion inhibitors has proven to be the easiest and cheapest method for corrosion prevention. But then most of the conventional inhibitors are expensive and toxic. Therefore the recent focus has been turned to developing non-toxic and cheap corrosion inhibitors. To achieve that a Polyacrylic acid was successfully grafted on chitosan by the thermal method using a reflux condenser. This copolymer was characterized by FTIR, TGA, and XPS. The corrosion inhibition performance of the grafted polymer was tested on mild steel in 0.5 M HCl under different conditions by gravimetric method. Mild steel coupon was analyzed using SEM to understand the effect of the inhibitor on the mild steel corrosion. The results were subjected to various adsorption isotherm models to understand the corrosion mechanism. The weight loss results show high inhibition efficiency of 86.50432 % for 24 hrs. Immersion time at 300 °C conditions. Data best fitted with Langmuir adsorption model with a good correlation coefficient of 0.9933.

Authors: Abdulmunem Mohammed Majid 
Published: October 2022

Aims: There is a controversy regarding the indication of implant insertion into the sockets of infected teeth. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of immediate implants replacing periapically infected teeth utilizing Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA) method.

Materials and Methods: Preoperatively, clinical, and radiographic examination accomplished for the patients. After anesthetizing the surgical area, the accused tooth extracted, and the socket curetted by surgical curette to remove the periapical lesion then irrigated by normal saline solution. The implant inserted into its prepared site. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) (combined by collagen membrane) used to fill gaps ≥ 2 mm and to repair bone defects. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values were measured for the implants during surgery and after 16 weeks. Postoperative clinical and radiographic evaluation were conducted for each patient.

Results: Fourteen implants out of 41 immediate implants (34.1%) had been inserted in the extraction sockets of teeth have chronic periapical lesions (infected sites), T-test showed no significant difference in implant stability (ISQ value) between implant placed in infected and non-infected sites neither at baseline nor at 16-weeks. Paired t-test showed highly significant increase in implant stability (ISQ value) of implants placed in infected sites while in the other implants the mean ISQ value increased with no significant difference during the healing period. The success rate was 100% after 4 years of implantation.

Conclusions: Presence of periapical lesion is not a contraindication to place immediate implant when properly managed and can provide similar survival rate to that of implants inserted into healthy sockets.

The research aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions on access to ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age in Harare, Zimbabwe. The study used a crosssectional explanatory research design to assess the effects of lockdown restrictions on access to ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age in Harare, Zimbabwe. A multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select the study respondents, who were women of childbearing age. The researcher used the structured questionnaire to electronically elicit data from a sample of 384 women of childbearing age in Harare between December 2021 and January 2022. Data were analyzed using a Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). Descriptive statistics were used to determine the proportion of women who accessed ante-natal and post-natal care services during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Furthermore, inferential statistical analysis was used to assess the level of satisfaction, comfortability, and accessibility of the ante-natal and post-natal care services by women of childbearing age. Data analysis revealed that the COVID-19 lockdowns greatly affected access to ante-natal and post-natal care services during the coronavirus pandemic. The results revealed decreased levels of satisfaction and “comfortability” with the ante-natal and post-natal care services women were receiving as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These results showed that there is a need for the government to offer resources such as more health workers, equipment to support mobile clinic services and to provide suitable personal protective equipment to the health workers during pandemics. This will ensure that access to ante-natal and postnatal care services are not disrupted during future pandemics.

Health Related Quality of Life of Children with Cerebral Palsy among 3-12 Years Old
Authors: Islam Mohammad Mohinul , Sultana Arifa , Hossain Md. Zahid , Jahan Sharmila 
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL)refers to a set of characteristics that may have an effect on health because they are related with an increased risk of chronic diseases related to low levels of physical activity. HRQOL is especially appropriate to conditions that are continuing and disabling such as cerebral palsy (CP). This study aims to determine the quality of life of children with cerebral palsy.

Methods: Cross sectional prospective survey under a quantitative study design was conducted for six months. Data was collected from the outdoor and indoor Paediatric physiotherapy unit of the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP), Bangladesh. 100 cerebral palsy children were taken as the sample based on eligibility criteria, LAQ-CP questionnaire was used to assesses the effect of disability in children with CP and their families.

Results: From the analysis, found that cerebral palsy most commonly limits the schooling of the cerebral palsy child. Also, it limits the ability of mobility, physical independence, and social integration. Besides it causes economic and clinical burden for the family members of the child with CP. Overall, the QOL severely affected 40% (n=40) cerebral palsy children, moderately 29% (n=29), mildly 20%(n=20) children. Only 11% (n=11) was found with good QOL in this study.

Conclusion: HRQOL is pointedly affected in most of the children suffering from cerebral palsy. Measurement of HRQOL should be include with other type of assessment, to specify the areas in which a patient is most suffering and help the expert in making suitable decisions for patient management. The present finding indicates that cerebral palsy has a negative impact on health status and quality of life of children with cerebral palsy, as reported by the respondent parent.
A Population-Based Analysis of Treatment, Survival, and Demographics in Otologic Malignancies
Authors: Gore Mitchell R. 
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Otologic (external ear, middle ear, and temporal bone) malignancies are relatively uncommon tumors. Their location adjacent to vital structures such as the carotid artery, jugular vein, otic capsule, and temporal lobe makes treatment potentially challenging.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine overall survival outcomes in patients with otologic malignancies obtained via a population-based cancer database.

Methods: A search of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients treated for external ear, middle ear, and temporal bone malignancies from 1973-2018. Demographic and overall survival data were compiled and analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and logistic regression analysis.

Results: The SEER database identified 9317 patients with otologic malignancies. Multivariate analysis of the SEER data showed that age, race, sex, subsite, histopathological type, overall stage, T, N, and M stage, and treatment type significantly affected overall survival.

Conclusion: This study examined data on demographics, treatment, and survival of patients with otologic malignancies utilizing the population-based SEER database. Overall stage and T, N, and M stages, patient age, sex, race, treatment type, and histopathological type all appear to significantly impact overall survival. Patients treated with surgery as part of their treatment regimen appeared to have higher 5-year overall survival than patients treated nonsurgically.
The Predicaments of Childless Women in Nigerian Fiction: A Womanist Reading of Flora Nwapa’s One Is Enough and Lola Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives
Authors: Gbaguidi Célestin , Dadja-Tiou Panaewazibiou , Gade Maurice 
Published: October 2022

Using womanist literary criticism, this work has critically analyzed and revealed that women’s worth is tied to their ability to bear children. The study has also examined the plight, predicaments, and abuses of childless women in African culture. The paper has revealed that childless women are verbally abused, physically beaten, psychologically abused, and maltreated. The paper argues that it is unethical and immoral to maltreat childless women for involuntary infertility. The pressures coming from society constitute huge struggles for childless women when they fail to bear children after a couple of times. The emotional turmoil is further compounded by societal pressure. Family members compel the husband to take another wife for the sake of ensuring a continued lineage. In some cultures, these women suffer domestic abuse, and divorce and are even driven out of their marital homes. The plight of childless women is unfathomable in most African societies with regard to how society maltreats these women because of their incapacity of bearing children. Furthermore, the study has revealed that the social pressures and their predicaments have nevertheless become an impetus for these childless women’s self-actualization and self-realization. Hard work and selfreliance become imperative for these childless women if they really yearn for social thriving.

Abstract
Taxonomic resolution is a critical component of biodiversity assessments. In this case study, we examined a single taxon within a larger study of nematode diversity to evaluate the taxonomic resolution of different diversity assessment methods. The selected taxon was the microbial-feeding genus Plectus, a group considered to include multiple cosmopolitan species. The methods included a morphological evaluation by light microscopy, Sanger sequencing of PCR amplicons of COI and 18S gene regions, and 18S metabarcoding sequencing. The study sites were 15 remnant tallgrass prairie plots in eastern Nebraska. In the morphological analysis, we observed two basic morphotypes, a short-tailed form with a small amphid and a long-tailed form with a large amphid. Sanger sequencing of COI sorted Plectus diversity into six distinct clades. The largest two of these six clades keyed to P. parietinus and P. rhizophilus based on morphology. BLAST analysis with COI revealed no close matches in GenBank. Sanger sequencing of the 18S region did not differentiate the six clades. These results illustrate that the method of diversity assessment strongly influences estimates of biodiversity. An additional 95 Plectus specimens, from outside the remnant sites, added taxonomic breadth to the COI phylogenetic tree. There were no geographically widespread COI haplotypes and no evidence of cosmopolitan Plectus species.
Descripción y análisis del ecosistema de ciencia para la política en España durante la COVID-19
Authors: Melchor Lorenzo 
Published: October 2022

España fue de los países más castigados durante las primeras olas de la COVID-19. Mundialmente, los gobernantes necesitaron asesoramiento científico para guiar sus decisiones e informar a la ciudadanía. Este asesoramiento científico para la toma de decisiones políticas y la relación con la sociedad encaja en la dimensión epistémica o uso del debate público para lograr la mejor decisión dentro de los sistemas deliberativos democráticos. En su ejercicio, destacan las organizaciones fronterizas y el rol de los científicos como mediadores honrados. Este estudio de caso es la primera evaluación cualitativa de los principales actores e instituciones políticas y científicas que conformaron el ecosistema de ciencia para la política en España durante la pandemia, de sus acciones y las fricciones que pudieron dificultar la gestión de la crisis. Desde la parte política, la ciencia estuvo presente en los discursos oficiales y se crearon varios comités asesores ad hoc pero hubo confusión mediática sobre su independencia y transparencia, probablemente por errores de comunicación y por la polarización política. Desde la parte científica, hubo cacofonía de expertos en la esfera pública y competencia por la atención política, con polémicas sobre las decisiones políticas tomadas. Este estudio concluye con recomendaciones para la mejora institucional y la deliberación democrática.
