STRATEGIC REBALANCING: SINO-US INTERPLAY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
Authors: Munir Tajjalla , Sajjad Nimra 
Published: September 2022

For the last three-decade, the United is acting as a hegemon in the world. Largely it has established the rules of world politics with its allies. Even in some areas (an example is the Iraq war), it acted unilaterally to achieve its foreign policy goals. But with the rise of China in the last couple of decades the balance of power is changing in some regions. Especially in the South China Sea where the United States has many allies and also its troops, China is asserting its power. The US is no longer the hegemon states in the South China Sea to develop rules of the game. The United States is working passionately to rebalance China in the South China Sea. The results of this rebalancing strategy are still unclear but it has created vulnerabilities for regional peace. This paper will analyze the great powers (the United States and China) competition in the South China Sea. It will explain the effect of this rivalry on regional peace. Secondary data is used in the study. Data was collected from books, research papers, prominent news agencies, and speeches of world leaders.

Abstract. With rapid population growth and socioeconomic development over the last century, a great number of dams/reservoirs have been constructed globally to meet various needs. China has strong economical and societal demands for constructing dams and reservoirs. The official statistics reported more than 98 000 dams/reservoirs in China, including nearly 40 % of the world's largest dams. Despite the availability of several global-scale dam/reservoir databases (e.g., the Global Reservoir and Dam database (GRanD), the GlObal geOreferenced Database of Dams (GOODD), and the Georeferenced global Dams And Reservoirs (GeoDAR)), these databases have insufficient coverage of the reservoirs in China, especially for small or newly constructed ones. The lack of reservoir information impedes the estimation of water budgets and the evaluation of dam impacts on hydrologic and nutrient fluxes for China and its downstream countries. Therefore, we presented the China Reservoir Dataset (CRD), which contains 97 435 reservoir polygons and fundamental attribute information (e.g., name and storage capacity) based on existing dam/reservoir products, national basic geographic datasets, multi-source open map data, and multi-level governmental yearbooks and databases. The reservoirs compiled in the CRD have a total maximum water inundation area of 50 085.21 km2 and a total storage capacity of about 979.62 km3 (924.96–1060.59 km3). The quantity of reservoirs decreases from the southeast to the northwest, and the density hotspots mainly occur in hilly regions and large plains, with the Yangtze River basin dominating in reservoir count, area, and storage capacity. We found that these spatial accumulations of reservoirs are closely related to China's socioeconomic development and the implementation of major policies. Finally, we presented the comparison of the CRD with GOODD, GeoDAR, and GRanD databases. The CRD has significantly increased the reservoir count, area, and storage capacity in China, especially for reservoirs smaller than 1 km2. The CRD database provides more comprehensive reservoir spatial and attribute information and is expected to benefit water resources managements and the understanding of ecological and environmental impacts of dams across China and its affected transboundary basins. The CRD database is publicly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6984619 (Song et al., 2022).

Published: September 2022

Pandemics present different challenges for leaders, organizations, and subordinates. During the Covid19 pandemic, all organizations faced challenges, including constant regulatory changes, for social, business, and economic conversions to protection and safety. The important challenge highlighted by the pandemic is how leaders can inspire and retain creative work behaviour when all employees work from home, and what leadership style will help the company succeed and survive. On the other hand, the researcher looks to be in a unique position to explore the influence of the Covid19 pandemic on leadership style and innovative work behaviour. In the meanwhile, the earlier research explored the significant role of leadership on innovativeness and sustainability. By hiring managers from several industries across the Sultanate of Oman, this study explores the influence of leadership style on innovative work behaviour during the covid19 epidemic. For data collection, a quantitative method was adopted, with a structured questionnaire sent out through email to a randomly chosen sample of managers in two large cities. The researchers employed descriptive statistics and statistical inference to analyze the correlation and multiple regression using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0. The key results of the research were that transformational leadership has a considerable beneficial influence on employee innovative work behaviour, but transactional leadership has no such effect.
Beyond Jewish Racial Justice Activism
Authors: Langer Armin 
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus crisis exposed deep racial inequalities in the United States. People of color are disproportionately affected by the pandemic and its economic impact. These social inequalities, paired with anti-Black racist violence by the police, led to a series of racial justice protests under the umbrella of Black Lives Matter. Many Jews participated and supported these anti-racist efforts. But can Jewish tradition guide us in tackling racist injustices in the twenty-first century? This article will present some dilemmas surrounding traditional Jewish teachings and whether they can help address racial justice today.

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) pandemic has been an unceasing plight with a wide range of clinical presentations. The direct effects of the virus, increased use of medications, and lifestyle changes have contributed to the vulnerability to co-infections. Fungal and bacterial co-infections led to increased morbidity and mortality during the pandemic. Similarly, the surge of skin signs in conjunction with herpes zoster (HZ) manifestations has been reported. In this study, we pooled the data on the clinical characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 patients co-infected with HZ.
Methodology: Electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were extensively searched to identify the relevant studies on HZ infection among the SARS-CoV-2 patients.
Results: A total of 79 patients (from case reports, series, and retrospective studies) were included in the analysis. Fever was the most common constitutional symptom recorded, followed by cough and dyspnea. A systemic rash was reported in 78.5% of cases with mild symptoms of HZ and SARS-CoV-2 in 87% and 76%, respectively. Only 19% of the cases presented during the prodrome period of SARS-CoV-2. HZV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was positive in 8.9% of the cases, and the remaining were diagnosed clinically. SARS-CoV-2 PCR was reported positive in 65 cases (82.3%). Leukopenia was observed in 7 cases (8.9%) and lymphopenia in 25 (31.6%). All patients recovered through conservative treatment.
Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 escalated the incidence of HZ reactivation. Most of the patients were seen with older individuals either simultaneously or a few days after the SARS-CoV-2 infection, but a few cases were reported during the asymptomatic prodrome period of SARS-CoV-2

Published: September 2022

This study focused on the relationship of school performance and socio-economic status (SES) of school heads. The main objective of the study was to examine the relationship between financial status of the Heads on the performance of their schools. Research questions in this context were whether domestic matters and other socio-economic factors related to Heads have any relation to their school’s academic progress. In a survey research setting, a researcher made questionnaire containing 15 questions about Heads’ socio-economic background and 30 statements on a five-point Likert’s scale was administered to 60 randomly selected Heads of Secondary schools from District Vehari. Using the descriptive statistical techniques, data analysis showed that those schools having heads better socio-economic conditions could perform better. In the light of the findings, it is suggested that Heads of schools may be granted better financial assistance from the Govt. to enhance the performance of schools. Moreover, other logistic and training support to the Heads can also contribute to better academic performance of schools.

Purpose: The analysis of coplanar intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and non-coplanar IMRT for the esophageal cancer. Methods: in my study 27 esophageal cancer cases, ten of them were cervical and upper thoracic (Group A) and seventeen were mid and lower thoracic (Group B). Gross target volume (GTV), clinical tumor volume (CTV), and organs at risk (OAR) were contoured by the oncologist in the eclipse treatment planning system. For every case, one coplanar plan & two non-coplanar plans have been generated by the similar general objective function. A descriptive dose-volume histogram (DVH) equation between three plans was then taken out in a table form. Results: 1) In Group A cases with PTV volume less than 100cc, the mean dose and dose gradient of non-coplanar plan were much better than those in coplanar plan. 2) In Group B cases, the conformity index (CI) for coplanar and two non-coplanar plans were 0.68 ± 0.15, 0.43 ± 0.14, and 0.69 ± 0.16, respectively. The V5, V10, V20, and the mean dose to the lung were less in the non-coplanar plans compared to ones in coplanar plan.

Kritisk tilnærming til tekster i sosiale medier
Authors: Undrum Linda Victoria Moland 
Published: September 2022

I denne artikkelen presenteres en studie med forskningsspørsmålene: Hvordan anvender influensere verbale og visuelle ressurser i Instagram-tekster? og Hvilke utfordringer oppstår i ungdommers møte med tekstene?
Bakgrunnen for studien er den norske læreplanens beskrivelse av kritisk tilnærming til tekst som et av kjerneområdene for norskfaget. Elevene skal lære å vurdere og reflektere over teksters troverdighet og påvirkningskraft. I sosiale medier eksponeres ungdom for mye reklame, blant annet i form av influensermarkedsføring.
Det første forskningsspørsmålet besvares gjennom en multimodal kritisk diskurs­analyse av tre markedsføringstekster fra norske influensere på Instagram. Det andre forskningsspørsmålet besvares gjennom en spørreundersøkelse, hvor 49 ungdommer på 14 og 15 år blir bedt om å vurdere de tre tekstene.
Et sentralt funn er at det benyttes en hybrid av personlige og kommersielle diskurser i influensernes tekster. Av ungdommenes svar i spørreundersøkelsen framgår det at denne hybriden gjør det utfordrende å avdekke hva som er hensikten med tekstene og hvem sine interesser tekstene tjener. Studien indikerer at sammenblandingen av dis­kurser er blitt så normalisert at denne hybriden oppfattes som naturlig og uproblematisk.
Tidligere forskning viser at det kan være utfordrende for unge å vurdere digitale og kommersielle tekster kritisk. I denne studien presenteres det noen nye utfordringer som oppstår i takt med det digitale tekstsamfunnets utvikling av nye former for markeds­føring. Studien illustrerer viktigheten av å ha en kritisk tilnærming til tekster som for­bindes med elevenes fritid, i arbeidet med å utvikle kritisk tekstkompetanse i norskfaget.
