“We’re So Glad You’re Here, and We’re So Glad You’re Black”: Esther Walls’s Life and Work in Libraries and Literacy Organizations
Authors: Pierce Jennifer Burek , Henderson Erik 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
Esther J. Walls (1926–2008) was a Black librarian born in Mason City, Iowa, who sought social justice in her home state before making her belief in equity and literacy the touchstone of her significant career. Walls worked at the New York Public Library and other important institutions, including appointments to prominent organizations’ committees and boards that recognized her deep knowledge and commitment to service. While earning her master’s degree in library science from Columbia University in 1951 and for years afterward, Walls brought Black culture into the Harlem Branch library and brought the library and its resources into the Harlem community, a then-radical act of information-sharing. New technologies and artifacts from her travels to Africa formed the basis for programs and community conversations. In 1963 she led an American Library Association (ALA) Young Adult Services Division (YASD, now YALSA) committee that created African Encounter: A Selected Bibliography of Books, Films, and Other Materials for Promoting an Understanding of Africa Among Young Adults. Her distinguished career included appointments as director of the US Secretariat to promote UNESCO’s International Year of the Book in 1972 and, in the early 1990s, an appointment to the advisory board for the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.

Background: Through the use of bupivacaine-induced brachial plexus blocking, it is possible to achieve high levels of anaesthesia and analgesia for surgical procedures. When dexamethasone was given to bupivacaine as an additive, the anaesthesia and analgesia lasted significantly longer in the patients who participated in the study. Aim: To study sensory and motor blockade, as well as the duration of postoperative analgesia and the duration of postoperative pain relief. Methods: We were able to enrol 60 patients in the experiment after they were approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee and provided written informed consent to participate. ASA I and II patients, ranging in age from 18 to 60 years old, who had undergone elective surgery on their upper extremities were included in this study. They were separated into two groups of almost equal size.. Results: The mean age in group 1 was 42.6 years with 13.6 SD whereas in group 2 mean age was 37.8 years with 12.5 SD. In group 1 mean weight was 61.7 kgs with 5.9 SD whereas in group 2 the mean weight was 58.2 kgs with 4.8 SD. The descriptive analysis of group 1 and group 2 showed that the mean pulse rate with SD was 83 ± 6.5 and 84 ± 7.2 respectively. While the systolic BP was recorded as 122 and 126 for groups 1 and 2 the standard deviation in this case was 7.8 and 6.4 respectively. Diastolic blood pressure for group 1 was 75 ± 8.2 SD and for group 2 it was recorded as 78 ± 7.9 SD. The analysis of SPO2 for group 1 was 97.3 ± 1.4 SD	while group 2 showed 97.5 ± 1.1 SD as mean and SD values. For group 1 the onset of motor block ( minutes) was 3.8 ± 0.8 SD and for group 2 it was 17.5 ± 2.3 SD. Onset of sensory block ( minute) for group 1 was 7.2 ± 1.5 SD and for group it was 15.6 ± 1.6 SD. Conclusion: The addition of 15 millilitres of 0.5% bupivacaine to 15 millilitres of dexamethasone significantly accelerates the onset of sensory and motor blockage in the patient. It has been demonstrated to significantly increase the duration of sensory and motor blockage as well as analgesia. It has been demonstrated that dexamethasone adjuvant is completely safe and has no negative effects when used in the brachial plexus block. Keywords: Double blinded study, upper limb, supraclavicular brachial plexus

The objective of the study is to raise awareness of the effect of anthropogenic activity on groundwater in the urban area, water samples were collected from 12 wells in the area in April and September 2019. From these samples, pH and conductivity were determined using a pH meter/conductivity meter. From these samples, pH and conductivity were determined using a pH meter/conductivity meter, while heavy metal concentrations (Mn, Fe, Pb, Cu and AL) were determined by atomic analysis and ICP-MS. The study showed that groundwater in the study area is (0.01mg/l<Mn2+<0.06 mg/l) and contains (0.14mg/l<Cu2+<0.03 mg/l), (0.02mg/l<Fe2+<0.4 mg/l), (0.02mg/l<Zn2+<1.8mg/l) and (0.01mg/l<AL3+<0.05mg/l). These concentrations are above the permissible limits recommended by the World Health Organization (0.05, 0.2, 0.3, 5 and 0.2 mg/l, respectively; p > 0.05). Bacteriological analyses show that the vast majority of the wells studied in the Ben Taib area harbour high densities of Faeceal coliform (0 to more than 420 CFU/100ml) and Fecal Streptococci (0 to over 25 CFU/100ml). The presence of these high quantities of pathogens, which are indicators of pollution and bacteriological contamination by wastewater, could be due to anthropic activities.

Published: April 2022

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji mengenai konflik-konflik agama yang terjadi di Kabupaten Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang bersifat deskripstik-analitik. Pengumpulan data dihasilkan dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam dan studi literasi. Untuk mempertajam analisis dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan teori politik rekoginisi, teori konflik, teori multikulturalisme, dan juga teori kebijakan. Hasil analisis dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa konflik-konflik agama yang terjadi di Kabupaten Bantul sepanjang tahun 2016-2020 disebabkan oleh adanya intoleransi beragama, melongarnya kohesi sosial, dan peraturan dan perundang-undangan. Konflik ini dipicu antara lain oleh Berkembangnya Kelompok-Kelompok Vigilantis dan Adanya Penetrasi Paksa Ide/Gagasan dari Kelompok ini. Media masa dan media daring menjadi pemercepat konflik sehingga melibatkan banyak pihak. Selain itu, konflik-konflik ini terjadi karena adanya kebijakan yang menyulitkan kelompok-kelompok minoritas, terutama mengenai perijinan rumah ibadat. Instruksi Gubernur DIY mengenai Pencegahan Potensi Konflik Sosial adalah salah satu trasformasi regulasi yang dianggap mampu menyelesaikan konflik-konflik tersebut

Published: April 2022

Diarrhoea, characterized by increased frequency of stools (3 or more per 24 hrs), increased fluidity of stools and/or the presence of blood/mucus, affects people of any age, but is the third commonest disease in children in developing countries, and is responsible for about one third of all hospitalizations among children under five years. Research into drug treatment of diarrhoea, revealed that several species of Solanum are used in traditional medicine to treat diarrhoea. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate and possibly authenticate the antidiarrhoeal activity of ethanol extracts of S. anomalum leaves, as used in traditional medicine. The ethanol extract of S. anomalum leaves was evaluated to authenticate its antidiarrhoeal activity using rats. Ethanol extract at doses of 70, 140 and 210 mg/kg was checked for antidiarrhoeal effect using three models of small bowel transit time, castor oil induced diarrhoea, and castor oil induced accumulation of fluid. The leaf extract caused significant (p<.001) inhibition of small bowel transit time, castor oil induced diarrhoea, and castor oil induced fluid accumulation. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that the ethanol extract of S. anomalum leaves has antidiarrhoeal properties, therefore confirming its traditional use as medicine in the management of diarrhoeal disorders.

Epilepsy represents a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries of Africa and Latin America where over 75% of patients do not have access to treatment. Aqueous and ethanol extracts of Zingiber officinale have been reported previously to have anticonvulsant effect. This study was aimed at comparing the anticonvulsant effect of ethanol and ethylacetate extracts of Zingiber officinale rhizomes in mice and chicks. Fresh rhizomes of Zingiber officinale (ginger) were collected, size reduced, air-dried under shade and extracted with ethanol and ethylacetate using cold maceration. Anticonvulsant activity of the extracts was determined by maximal electroshock stimulation (MES) in chicks, pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and strychnine induced seizure models in mice. The ethanol and ethylacetate extracts of the ginger at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg were administered intraperitoneally 30 minutes prior to the induction of seizures. Both ethanol and ethylacetate extracts of Zingiber officinale at the doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg produced a dose-dependent protection against tonic hind limb extension seizure in MES model, significantly (p< 0.01) decreased the onset of clonic seizure in the strychnine model and significantly (p<0.001) prolonged the mean time of death in the PTZ model. In addition, the ethanol extract at the doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg significantly (p<0.001) decreased the onset of seizure in the PTZ model. It might be concluded that both ethanol and ethylacetate extracts of Zingiber officinale contain biologically active compounds with significant anticonvulsant activity, but the ethanol extract produced a better anticonvulsant activity.
