Authors: YILMAZ Erdi Okan , TOKER Türker 
Published: March 2022

This study examines the online assessment-evaluation activities in distance education processes. The effects of different online exam application styles considering the online assessment-evaluation in distance education processes, including all programs of a higher education institution, were documented. The population for online assessment-evaluation activities, exam types, and student achievement scores comprised 3830 courses by 805 academics over the Uşak University learning management system and 29511 students. organisThe data were analysed with descriptive statistics and t-tests for comparisons. It was found that academics preferred multiple-choice exam formats more than online assignments or classical (written) ones. Moreover, students' success scores in multiple-choice exams were significantly higher than exams including open-ended questionsIt was also found that average exam success was higher when the questions were presented as separate but as a group. The findings were discussed and reported with a literature review.

Published: March 2022

Biologically active compounds with pharmacological potentials have been reported in Simarouba glauca; these compounds have shown interactions with biological molecules, hence this study. This study focused on long-term effect of ethanol leaf extract of Simarouba glauca (EESG) on lipoproteins and oxidative stress biomarkers in male Wistar rats. Oral administration of EESG was conducted according to the guidelines of organization for economic co-operation and development (OECD), No. 425 using a total of twenty-four (24) male Wistar rats, divided into four groups of six rats each. Test rats were given EESG at doses of 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg body weight respectively daily for thirty (30) days. At the end of the study, the rats were fasted overnight and sacrificed; relevant biochemical analyses were evaluated. Data were statistically analyzed with the Graphpad prism®, version 7. The data show marked reduction and increase (P ? 0.05) in HDL-cholesterol and TG respectively, at all doses; significant increase (P ? 0.05) in LDL-cholesterol at EESG 500 and 1000 mg/kg. Furthermore, the data obtained however indicated significant (P ? 0.05) elevation in heart MDA level at 500 mg/kg. The liver and kidney CAT activity were elevated (P ? 0.05) at EESG 1000 mg/kg; 500 and 2000 mg/kg respectively. Liver and Kidney SOD activity were elevated (P ? 0.05) at 2000 mg/kg, 500 and 1000 mg/kg respectively. The Liver GSH-PX was elevated (P ? 0.05) at 2000 mg/kg. The findings of the study showed that oral administration of EESG at high doses resulted to dyslipidemia. The marked increases in the endogenous defense enzyme system may have resulted from cytochrome P-450/NADPH Oxidase induced oxidative stress linked to xenobiotic metabolism.
Parasitic helminth fauna of tree frogs from cocoa plantations at Ugboke, Edo State, Nigeria
Authors: Edo-Taiwo O. , Aisien M.S.O. 
Published: March 2022

Cocoa pods are vulnerable to pest and diseases which often cause huge financial losses to farmers. To address this challenge and improve yield, cocoa farmers often resort to pesticide application on the cocoa trees. This leads to deposition of pesticides residues on the cocoa trees, the undergrowth and plantations floor with devastating consequences for amphibians including tree frogs. Previous studies have reported the immune suppressive nature of pesticides on anurans thereby rendering them more susceptible to infection. This study is part of an on-going investigation of the effect of pesticide application on the pattern of helminth parasitic infections of anurans in pesticide-treated cocoa plantations at Ugboke, Edo State. A total of 354 tree frogs belonging to three genera (Leptopelis, Hyperolius and Afrixalus), consisting of 14 species were examined. A high species richness (d=1.971) and diversity (H’=2.215) was recorded. Ten species (71.43%) of these frogs were infected while four (28.57%) were uninfected. The overall prevalence of parasitic infections was 30.23%. Thirteen helminth parasites including three cestodes, two digeneans and eight nematode species were recovered. A significantly higher (P<0.05) prevalence of infection was recorded during the wet season (31.64%) than in the dry (10.53%). There was high parasite diversity with low prevalence and infection intensity of infection as previously reported for other anurans collected from the same cocoa plantations

Authors: Ebeigbe J. A , Uwagboe P. N 
Published: March 2022

The use of ready-made glasses (RMG) has been reported to be common in developing or poor resource countries. This cross-sectional questionnaire study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of use of ready-made glasses among presbyopes in selected Local Government Areas of Edo State. Over 2000 closed ended questionnaire were distributed among adult males and females in churches, schools, government offices and market places. One thousand six hundred were collected back. Properly completed 1496 forms were analyzed using percentages and correlation coefficient. Level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Male respondents made up 51.80% of the population while female respondents made up 48.20%. The mean age of respondents was 57 (±1.2) years. A total of 66.80% of them had bought RMG. While 41.60% felt it met their visual need, 52% on the other hand, said there could be problems associated with the use of RMG. Some of the respondents 52% said they would not advice others to buy RMG from the roadside. There was no statistical difference in the use of RMG between males and females (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation between educational status and the use of RMG between the genders. There was also no statistically significant correlation between financial earnings and the use of RMG between the genders. The use of RMG appears to meet some of the need in eye care.

É com imensa consternação que apresentamos o presente dossiê. Infelizmente, quando esse número era organizado, por complicações da COVID-19, o prof. Mauro Guilherme Pinheiro Koury, editor-chefe desta revista faleceu. Juntamente com os organizadores, trabalhou arduamente para que esse dossiê se concretizasse. Herdeiro da tradição sociológica de Georg Simmel, após retornar da Universidade de Glasgow, Escócia, ingressou como professor da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Koury é daqueles intelectuais que o leitor sabia, de antemão, onde encontrá-lo; bastava ir aos encontros da Associação Brasileira de Antropologia, Associação Brasileira de Ciências Sociais, Reuniões de Antropologia do Mercosul, Associação Latino-Americana de Sociologia, além de outros eventos da área e logo se perceberia sua assiduidade. Não por acaso, Koury foi o fundador da Revista Brasileira de Sociologia da Emoção (RBSE) e da Revista de Antropologia e Sociologia - Sociabilidades Urbanas (SOCURBS), foi coordenador do Grupo de Pesquisa em Antropologia e Sociologia das Emoções (GREM) e Grupo Interdisciplinar de Estudos em Imagem (GREI), assim como desbravador, no Brasil, daquilo que conhecemos por sociologia e antropologia das emoções. Koury foi quem assumiu a responsabilidade de introduzir nas universidades brasileiras uma parte significativa dos clássicos que lemos, em português, na medida em que traduziu e publicou na RBSE textos de autores como Marcel Mauss, Georg Simmel, Robert Park, Maurice Halbwachs e Eric Hobsbawn que, por falta de tradução, até então eram desconhecidos por parte do público brasileiro. Koury formou uma importante geração de intelectuais no campo das Ciências Sociais, em especial da Sociologia e Antropologia.
FOTOETNOGRAFANDO: MODALIDADES DE NARRATIVAS IMAGÉTICAS
Authors: Leal Ondina Fachel , Britto Velho Augusto Leal de , Rodrigues Milena Weber 
Published: March 2022

Esse artigo aborda modalidades de usos de antropologia visual, que referem a quatro pesquisas bastante diversas entre si. Nosso argumento é que os quatro casos apresentam um vínculo entre si que indicam uma linhagem da fotoetnografia, trabalhos onde a imagem é tomada como central na narrativa etnográfica. Inicialmente, apresentamos um relato histórico da noção de fotoetnografia, localizando antecedentes e trazendo o contexto da própria produção do termo cunhado por Achutti. Apresentamos o processo do trabalho de Achutti que constituiu e demarcou essa estratégia metodológica e textual do uso da imagem. Depois, abordamos outros dois casos de pesquisas etnográficos, anteriores ao trabalho de Achutti, onde há um importante uso e reflexão a respeito da fotografia que ajudaram a preparar o caminho para, mais tarde, na dissertação de mestrado de Achutti, em 1996, propor a fotoetnografia como tal. Em conclusão, o caso final que aqui apresentamos, trata de um trabalho etnográfico atual, desenvolvido junto a um grupo da etnia Warao, onde a comunicação, dado o presente contexto da pandemia de Covid-19, tem se dado fundamentalmente através de imagens digitais em plataformas de redes sociais virtuais. Essa experiência nos leva a pensar em novas modalidades da fotoetnografia.

Published: March 2022

Background Becoming chair of an academic clinical department is a tremendous achievement that takes many years of experience and clinical excellence. Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the educational demographics of current orthopaedic surgery department chairs in the United States. Methods A complete list of orthopaedic surgery residency programs was obtained from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) 2019-2020 list of residency programs. Department chairs were identified through an online search. Educational data, including where the department chair went to medical school, residency, fellowship, and type of fellowship completed were obtained. Results A total of 145 orthopaedic department chairs were identified. The most attended medical schools by department chairs were Baylor (6 of 145, 4.1%) and Northwestern (6 of 145, 4.1%). The University of Rochester was the most common orthopaedic residency attended (9 of 145, 6.2%) and Harvard was the most common orthopaedic clinical fellowship (20 of 133, 15.0%). On average, it took 17.9 years from completion of clinical training to being named department chair. Conclusion This study provides insight into the academic credentials, length of clinical experience, and research productivity of current orthopaedic surgery department chairs. Certain training programs may be more likely to produce department chairs and, in general, an orthopaedic surgeon is more likely to become chair at an institution where he/she previously trained. Finally, research productivity is clearly an important factor in becoming chair, as most chairs have high h-indices and a consistent track record of research excellence.
Arthroscopic Lateral Collateral Ligament Repair for the Acute Elbow Dislocation in Primary Lateral Sclerosis Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Mahasupachai Nattakorn , Premsiri Arnakorn , Chanlalit Cholawish 
Published: March 2022

Introduction Without adequate muscle function as the dynamic elbow stabilizer, in a patient with a neuromuscular disorder, such as primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), the osteoligamentous structures are the only elbow stabilizers. To provide elbow stability, these structures should be restored. Case A 30-year-old female with PLS suffered from pain and dysfunction of her elbow after a previous elbow injury and current elbow dislocation. Management and outcomes We performed an arthroscopic lateral collateral ligament repair. At 6 months postoperative, her elbow gained stability and a painless full range of motion. Conclusion Periarticular muscles are crucial in joint congruity maintenance when the static stabilizers are disrupted. However, in neuromuscular diseases, the dynamic stabilizers are inadequate in providing stability for ligament healing, causing elbow instability. Osteoligamentous stabilizers restoration is the key to joint stability in a paralytic limb. An arthroscopy is a good option restoring collateral ligaments by reducing damage to surrounding muscles.

Published: March 2022

Non-union of radial neck fractures is a rare entity in adults, and conservative treatment is usually applied. However, when the patient is symptomatic, an optimal functional outcome can only be obtained after operative treatment. There is currently no consensus on the best surgical technique to treat this condition. We present a 34-year-old male with a radial head non-union and our proposed technique of using a cylindrical bone autograft harvested from the iliac crest and fixation with headless compression screws. At 12 months follow-up, the patient was pain free and had comparable range of motion to the uninjured side. We recommend a useful technique for the treatment of radial neck fracture nonunion. The preliminary postoperative outcomes show excellent results, while a longer follow-up and a greater number of cases are necessary to confirm the efficacy of this technique.
Adam Mickiewicz and the Concept of the Ethnolinguistic Unity of the Slavs
Authors: Krysowski Olaf 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
Adam Mickiewicz, the Polish romantic poet, perceived language not only as a tool for learning about the history and culture of the Slavs but also as a factor that can restore the unity of these seemingly different and dispersed peoples, who in reality have common roots and who form a single community under ethnic and civilizational considerations. Mickiewicz created the image of the Slavs’ identity in Paris lectures, when Austro-Slavism and southern pan-Slavism were slowly gaining momentum, also in reference to the process of language development and the dynamics of those changes. According to Mickiewicz, language and literature deserved to be called reliable and lasting links that connect the Slavic peoples. By proclaiming such an opinion, not only did he rise above the political divisions, but also he invalidated the sociocultural differences between the Slavs.
Black Women Comics: Sensuality and Intersectionality
Authors: Ebtesam M. El-Shokrofy , Awad Ahmed Asmaa 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
Can sexual jokes and raunchy routines of black women be used to address serious social, religious, and political issues? This article attempts to answer these questions by applying Patricia Collins’s intersectional theory to some selected works by these American actresses and comedians: La Wanda Page, Thea Vidale, Sheryl Underwood, Amanda Seales, Hope Flood, and Simply Marvellous. In an attempt to gain power, self-assertion, and liberty, these comedians employ vulgarity and sexual allusions to openly reveal the three taboos of the society. Being openly performed using the bodies as a way of narrative expression, stand-up comedy allows a mixture of both street culture and pornography to gradually emerge on the surface and open the floor to more black women comedians to join the trend. Using Patricia Collins’s intersectional theory, this article addresses the social, religious, and political issues raised in the selected comedians’ raunchy works and also examines the factors leading to the emergence of this black feminist trend from 1970s to 2000s.
Blake’s Compasses: Materialist Criticism and Romanticism as a Structure of Feeling
Authors: Lee-Six Edward 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
The present article focuses on a potential methodological problem of materialist literary criticism: How can a materialist critique adequately describe and analyze the aspects of a work of art that seem least material—interiority, subjectivity, ambivalence, ineffability, and so on? The central question is whether Raymond Williams’s concept of a “structure of feeling” can adequately bridge this apparent gap between materiality and interiority. The case study used to explore this question is attitudes toward quantification in William Blake. Blake’s work displays contradictory responses to quantification, and, above all, to one of quantification’s symbols: compasses. These contradictory responses, it is argued, are in fact the sublimation of Blake’s ambivalent attitudes to the material conditions that determine his thought and art: nascent industrial capitalism.
Radiant Bodies and Feminist Laboratories: Jean Rhys, Lee Miller, and the Modern Mannequin
Authors: James Emily , Conway Tove 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
The modern mannequin played a singular role in the burgeoning fashion industry of the early twentieth century. Even so, few scholars have sought to recover the mannequin’s voice and story. Working across disciplinary lines, “Radiant Bodies and Feminist Laboratories” pairs Jean Rhys’s fiction with Lee Miller’s photography to chart a feminist path for the mannequin. Each worked as a mannequin in 1920s Paris, and each returned to this formative experience, recasting the mannequin as sentient, watchful, and quietly creative. Each, moreover, imagined her capable of making herself, independent of the demands of designers, employers, and customers. This article argues for the importance of alternative spaces for the feminist imagination—from underground servants’ quarters to cramped, solitary darkrooms—where, unlit and free from the gaze of commerce, the mannequin may reimagine her own form and pursue her own creative desires.
Manfred’s Quest as Limit Test: A Genealogy of Knowledge, Exile, and Gender
Authors: Berger Robert L. 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
This article explores Lord Byron’s Manfred as a contemporary text with the critiques of Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Judith Butler. I argue that Manfred’s quest operates as a form of “limit test,” an approach to knowledge that subverts or questions what is taken to be “universal.” This article traces a genealogy of Byron and Foucault’s shared interest in finding a way out for carceral figures who are confined by guilt and “Enlightened” forms of knowledge. Referencing Agamben’s Homo Sacer and the potentiality of being, I suggest Manfred tests the limits of the “truth of being” in its relationship to Power and deconstructs Manfred’s exile from human society. I connect Manfred’s representation of gender and sexuality to Judith Butler’s work in Gender Trouble, wherein she describes homosexuality, bisexuality, and gender mobility as a form of “incest” to society. I invoke Judith Butler’s conception of gender performativity as new way to understand the Manfred/Astarte relationship and link gender with the “truth of being” itself. Read this way, Byron’s work entangles contemporary notions of gender, exile, and knowledge through tropes of incest, sin, love, and resurrection and death, and this positions his work as a confluent site of discourses in biopolitics.
A Study in Furniture: The Moonstone’s “Detective Fever” and Pharmacy of Deduction
Authors: Chatterjee Arup K. 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT
This article challenges notions of furniture as being merely figures of speech in Victorian fiction, through what is here demonstrated in an archetypology of furniture based on Wilkie Collins’s novel, The Moonstone (1868). Taking the story beyond its allegory of imperial psychology, I chart the functional aspects of furniture, viewed as archetypes. The Moonstone inspired the interiors of detective plots in the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, enabling furniture to transcend its status as dispensable nouns and assume archetypal roles that catalyse and morph the interiors and plots of literary texts. The Moonstone overturned prescriptive and eroticized stereotypes of Victorian parlours, replacing them with male-criminal-and-detective archetypes and the archetypal pharmacy—the prototypical 221B Baker Street quarters. The novel furnished characters’ intimate relationships to objects (glass artifacts, tables and chairs, chests of drawers, and bookshelves), which in turn furnishes the detective plot, at a time when Victorian aesthetics was witnessing a functionalist turn. This in turn shaped the investigative spaces of Holmes and Poirot with tremendous value derived from the new archetypal functions of furniture.

Published: March 2022

The regional climate model viz. PRECIS(Providing Regional Climates for Impact Studies) model was used to downscale the future climatic data for the central region of Punjab, India.The projected data for the 21st century under different scenarios was corrected by using the climate data recorded for the 1971-1990 at meteorological station of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (Central Region of Punjab) and baseline data derived from PRECIS model. The corrected data was then analyzed on annual, seasonal and monthly basis to quantify the changes in maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall. The projected data showed increase inmaximum and minimum temperature where as an irregular trend in rainfall was observed.It was projected that maximum and minimum temperature and rainfall would increase linearly under the A1B scenario for the mid century. At the end of the century, the rise in maximum and minimum temperature in B2 scenario will continue but at slower rate than the A1B and A2 scenarios. There would be deficit of rainfall by 78 and 30 % during the winter season under the A2 and B2 scenarios of the end century.
