Fabrication of Zein/PVA Fibre Blends: Optimizing Concentration and
Applied Voltage
Authors: Kubheka Nompumelelo S.M. , Moloto Makwena J. , Mkhumbeni Nolutho 
Published: December 2022

Abstract:
The fabrication of polymer fibre blends has gained much attention for the development of
innovative nanomaterials. Polymer fibre blends are nanomaterials with different functionalities and
properties such as a sizeable surface-to-area ratio, high porosity, flexibility, and stability. The focus of
this study was to produce zein/PVA fibre blends using the electrospinning technique and varying parameters
such as concentration and applied voltage. The two parameters are key driving factors for the
production of fibres. Zein as a natural polymer has challenges in developing fibre materials which require
artificial polymer like PVA to create a good blending mixture for electrospinning.

Methods:
The zein/PVA nanofibre blends were fabricated using the electrospinning technique. The
FE-SEM (Leo, Zeiss) was used to study the surface morphologies of the zein/PVA nanofibers blends.
The optical properties of the nanofibre blends were determined using the UV-vis spectrophotometer
and the chemical structure and composition of zein/PVA nanofibers blends were studied using Thermo
Scientific Nicolet iS50-FTIR spectrometer, universal ATR with the diamond detector.

Results:
The SEM images showed smooth zein/PVA ribbon-like nanofibre blends of 90/10, 80/20,
70/30, 60/40, and 50/50. SEM images of zein/PVA (80/20) electrospun at 25 kV were obtained to be
the maximum fibre yield due to zein/PVA compatibility, increased conductivity, and enhanced fibre
formation. The optical properties (absorption spectroscopy) suggested that the zein/PVA (80/20) fibre
blend was miscible, and the FTIR spectra confirmed their functional groups. Therefore, the characterization
results showed that the polymer blended solutions concentration and applied voltage increment
affected fibre size distribution and morphology.

Conclusion:
Optimizing concentration and applied voltage successfully produced smooth, uniform
bead-free zein/PVA fibre blends as parameters are increased.
The Effect of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions Implemented in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic on Seasonal Respiratory Syncytial Virus: Analysis of Google Trends Data
Authors: Ravkin Hersh D , Yom-Tov Elad , Nesher Lior 
Published: December 2022

Background
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory infection in children. Despite usually following a consistent seasonal pattern, the 2020-2021 RSV season in many countries was delayed and changed in magnitude.

Objective
This study aimed to test if these changes can be attributed to nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) instituted around the world to combat SARS-CoV-2.

Methods
We used the internet search volume for RSV, as obtained from Google Trends, as a proxy to investigate these abnormalities.

Results
Our analysis shows a breakdown of the usual correlation between peak latency and magnitude during the year of the pandemic. Analyzing latency and magnitude separately, we found that the changes therein are associated with implemented NPIs. Among several important interventions, NPIs affecting population mobility are shown to be particularly relevant to RSV incidence.

Conclusions
The 2020-2021 RSV season served as a natural experiment to test NPIs that are likely to restrict RSV spread, and our findings can be used to guide health authorities to possible interventions.
La configuración del héroe artista y sus mutaciones en El doctor Centeno e Il piacere
Authors: Mejía Estévez Diego 
Published: December 2022

En este artículo muestro la comparación de novelas del fin de siècle con el fin de evidenciar los resultados de la compleja evolución del héroe artista en la novela europea (a partir de la tradición española e italiana) especialmente vinculada a los métodos del realismo y el decadentismo. Busco exponer las particularidades que hay en la configuración del dramaturgo Alejandro Miquis en El doctor Centeno (1883), ligadas a las estrategias del segundo realismo representado por Pérez Galdós, así como el contraste en su modo de articular al personaje artista con respecto a sus contemporáneos, en este caso Gabriele D’Annunzio y su novela más emblemática, Il piacere (1889), la cual concentra buena parte de los tópicos de la novela decadentista. En ese sentido, el artículo también traza dos de las facetas principales que definen la novela de artistas, es decir, la del bohemio y la del dandi.
Impact of the Social Credit System in China on Political Communication
Authors: Antoncheva O. A. , Apanasenko T. E. 
Published: December 2022

The social credit system, created in the PRC in 2014 and which has been in widespread use since approximately 2016, is being evaluated.The assessment by the population is being considered. An estimate expressed in market indicators is given. Assessment by a learned community trying to comprehend the social credit system in terms of the paradigm of authoritarian government analyzed.The results of the consideration of market indicators show that the introduction of the social credit system did not have an impact on business climate indicators such as BCI or PMI.Meanwhile, for the sake of business climate indicators, the social credit system was introduced, as was stated when it was created: this system was designed to prevent unscrupulous behavior of frms. Thus, the declared goal of introducing a social credit system was not achieved.It seems logical to wonder if there was a diﬀerent goal from the declared goal of introducing social credit, the goal of strengthening the tendency of authoritarian government.At the same time, point studies of the assessment of the social credit system by the population showed a high level of approval of social credit by citizens.Western liberal thought with its cult of individualism sees the following consequences of the introduction of a social credit system: violation of human rights, non-observance of the principle of social justice, violation of the principle of privacy, violation of the principle of equality of rights, development of totalitarian and authoritarian tendencies.It is assumed that some conclusions based on this approach may be called into question due to a mismatch of values: it is proved that assessment categories based on the values of extreme individualism are poorly applied to Chinese society, whose ideology is based on collectivist values.In this regard, a fundamentally diﬀerent approach is applied to assessing the social credit system: signs of authoritarianism are postulated as the presence of unequal opportunities for symbolic construction of reality; the social credit system is tested for such capabilities within the theory of mass communication.The social credit system used to control the content of Internet sites will have an extremely negative impact on political communication, making it more asymmetric, on the democratic structure of the political system and human quality.

Metaethnography in the Age of "Popular Folklore"
Authors: Anagnostou Yiorgos 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article focuses on the current proliferation of ethnographies written by nonprofessional ethnographers, a mode of cultural production I call "popular folklore." My task in this work is twofold. First, I discuss the function of professional folklore and anthropology as well as of the cultural commodification of ethnicities in the United States in reconfiguring the "common people"from objects of ethnography into legitimate ethnographic authors. Second, I discuss the value of a metaethnographic perspective on popular folklore for the discipline. I do so by undertaking a close analysis of the politics of a feminist popular ethnography of the "folkness" of Greek America. My reading makes a case for the productive cross-fertilization between the metaethnography of popular folklore and professional ethnography. The circulation of popular folklore, I suggest, opens a discursive space for a tactically interventionist folklore ethnography that engages in a critical dialogue with its nonprofessional counterparts. This proposed research agenda seeks to enlarge the universe of alternative meanings about the social constitution of selves or collectivities while raising acute questions about the ways to enhance the public resonance of critical folklore scholarship.
"Locating" the Nation: Football Game Day and American Dreams in Central Ohio
Authors: Lindquist Danille Christensen 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis article suggests how abstract ideas like "nation" are lived and situated by examining recurring features ofAmerican football as it is experienced by spectators in central Ohio. Football-an institutionalized drama formed by its inventors to address questions of national identity and social relations-is embedded within the generically complex event known as "game day" and is framed by ongoing social practices that stem from the sport’s competitive structure. As a multifaceted event grounded in both historical contexts and live performances, this spectator sport provides an ideal case for highlighting connections among form, ideology, and identity. This article argues that as a celebratory complex, Ohio State University football enacts aspects of national identity (including tropes of competitive opportunity, mechanized teamwork, and homeland defense) in terms of shared experiences and expressions grounded in local affiliations. In particular, the much-anticipated and ritually structured performances of the OSUMarching Band guide fans in endorsing "America" and its attendant ideologies while simultaneously emphasizing local difference.
Miracle Magazine in the Sixties: Mass Media Narratives of Healings and Blessings
Authors: Baker Ronald D. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article examines typical narratives of healings and blessings that appeared in Miracle Magazine during the 1960s under evangelist editor A. A. Allen to show how mass media preachers exploit folk beliefs. The testimonies in Miracle Magazine included, among other miracles, accounts of exorcizing bosom serpents, miracle fillings, supernatural healings of invalids, divine cures of cancer, and blessings receivedforpledging money to Allen’s ministry. Features in the magazine also dealt with visions, divine voices, prophecies, and the evils of other evangelists and denominations. Studying these printed narratives, as Linda Dégh suggests, "opens an untrodden path" for folk narrative scholars.
From Hierography to Ethnography and Back: Lydia Cabrera’s Texts and the Written Tradition in Afro-Cuban Religions
Authors: Dianteill Erwan , Swearingen Martha 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Two common assumptions about Lydia Cabrera’s ethnographic work are that it is exclusively the result of fieldwork and that Afro-Cuban religions are based on oral tradition. Evidence is provided in this paper to show that 1) Cabrera also made use of early religious texts as a primary source, and 2) that her work has served as an influence on the texts used in modern Afro-Cuban religious practices, such as the anonymous book Manual del Santero (1990). An analysis is provided of the way in which Cabrera included vernacular written sources in her work, and how her work in turn has become a main source for Santería "hierography"-the writting about sacred things.
"The Dwarf and the Giant" (AT 327B) in Africa and the Middle East
Authors: Goldberg Christine 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In Europe, AT 327B, "The Dwarf and the Giant," is distinguished by its ogre tale framework (children go to the ogre’s house, trick the ogre, and return home) and by the motif of the switched bed places (nightcaps, etc.) that cause the ogre to kill his own children instead of the visitors. In Africa and in the Middle East, the motif of the switched bed places is less important, although it is still part of the tale type. Instead, or in addition, one child keeps the ogre(ss) busy all night with complaints about noisy animals and a request for water carried in a sieve.
"Rebirth of a Nation": Hurston in Haiti
Authors: Duck Leigh Anne 
Published: December 2022

AbstractZora Neale Hurston’s imperialistic political rhetoric in Tell My Horse seems incongruous with her previous cultural politics, but this work should be considered in relation to developments in Haitian ethnology. Where Hurston had previously believed that cultural populism could energize a democracy, her commitment to folklore was here linked with an authoritarian and racially essentialist political ideology. Hurston responded by severing her cultural analysis from her political assessments, a process apparent also in her later political commentary.
Return of the White Raven: Postdiluvial Reconnaissance Motif A2234.1.1 Reconsidered

Published: December 2022

AbstractThis note is dedicated to the study of the motif of raven as a scavenging post-Flood scout and its "White Raven" version. In her monograph The Raven and the Carcass, Anna Birgitta Rooth proposed that this motif was brought to all parts of the New World from Western Europe by Catholic missionaries. The article suggests that both "The Raven and the Carcass" motif and its "White Raven" version existed in the New World prior to the European colonization ofAmericas.
Singing Out of Pain: Protest Songs and Social Mobilization
Authors: Payerhin Marek 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The article analyzes the role of protest songs in ideological battles and social mobilization in Poland in the 1970s and 1980s. Political opposition was often expressed through songs; their most important sources included the Catholic Church, workers, students, political cabarets, rock musicians, and scouting troops. Songs chipped away at the edifice of official propaganda and ideological strictures. They created a multitude of cultural clues and points of reference to help define a societal sense of common identity, the injustice the community suffered, and the need for social mobilization to remedy the undesirable situation. The songs made a difference by offering a "natural" way to distribute elements of any tentative agreement among potential adherents of a movement. They aggregated, reinforced, and propagated common symbols and beliefs that allowed movement participants and leaders construct effective action frames. They also helped influence an independent public discourse through framing the issues.

<p> </p>
<p><strong>OBJECTIVE</strong></p>
<p>Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA) is a prevailing finding in patients with angina. However, the main factors underlying the risk of being re-hospitalized for chest pain in patients with INOCA remain mostly unknown.</p>
<p><strong>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS</strong></p>
<p>We evaluated INOCA patients referred to the “<em>Casa di Cura</em> <em>Montevergine</em>”, Mercogliano (Avellino), Italy, since January 2016 to January 2021 for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In these subjects, we assessed the impact of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) on the risk of re-hospitalizations for chest pain.</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS</strong></p>
<p>2874 patients with INOCA successfully completed the study. At 1-year follow-up, the risk of re-hospitalization for chest pain was significantly higher (p<0.001) in INOCA patients with SHR>1, compared to patients with SHR≤1. </p>
<p>These findings were confirmed by multivariable analyses (adjusting for potential confounders including age, body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, chronic kidney disease, and cholesterol), propensity score matching, and inverse probability of treatment weighting.</p>
<p><strong>CONCLUSIONS</strong></p>
<p>Our data indicate that SHR on hospital admission significantly increases the risk of re-hospitalizations for chest pain in INOCA patients.</p>
