How did we get here? The history of critical social work

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the diverse and contested world of social work. It explores the key concepts and theoretical frameworks underpinning contemporary social work practice, as well as relevant professional skills and strategies from a critical perspective. In a rapidly changing world, it locates critical social work as a part of broader and ongoing struggles for social justice and human rights. Readers are encouraged to think about what social work is or should be, and what sort of social worker they would like to become. The book covers a broad range of topics, including the history and development of social work as a profession, values and ethics, theories for practice, and the fields and context of practice. Definitions of key terms, reflective exercises and case studies are integrated throughout the text. Written by a diverse team of experienced educators, this is a stimulating, rigorous and student-friendly resource.
Relation Between Rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae) and Faba Bean (Vicia Faba) Yield Loss in Bale Highlands, South Eastern Ethiopia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In Ethiopia, Uromyces viciae-fabae is one of the most destructive biotic constraints for faba bean production. Information on the management and yield losses are inadequate in the Bale highlands where the crop is largely produced. The objective of this study was to manage faba bean rust through host resistance and fungicides, and determine the extent of yield losses. Field experiments were conducted at Madda Walabu University (MWU) and Harewa research stations. Four fungicides (mancozeb, fungozeb, nativo and diprocon) were used against four varieties having different level of resistance arranged in a randomized complete block design in a factorial combination with three replications. Data were collected on disease severity and yield components. Fungozeb sprayed at 2.5 kg a.i./ha proved the best management option in all varieties at both locations. Fungozeb foliar sprays reduced relative seed yield loss compared with their respective unsprayed checks. Generally, relative yield loss up to 56% at Madda Walabu University and up to 34% at Harewa from local unsprayed plots was recorded. Linear regression of the estimates indicated that -0.015, -0.051, -0.048 and -0.061 t/ha yield loss were predicted on walki, shallo, hachalu and local, respectively for every % days increase of area under disease progress curve (AUDPC) at MWU. Similarly, -0.123 t/ha on walki, -0.142 t/ha on shallo, -0.137 t/ha on hachalu and -0.151 t/ha on local variety yield loss was predicted for every %-days increase of AUDPC at Harewa. Significance differences were recorded in pods per plant and days to maturity. The unsprayed plots had shorter days to maturity as compared to plots sprayed at both locations on all genotypes. In conclusion, integration of walki and hachalu with fungozeb sprays was found to be effective management option. Moreover, extensive studies are recommended for evaluation of management options at different locations with similar agro-ecologies to enhance high quality faba bean production in Ethiopia.

The Deep Mystery of God's Sovereignty and Human Responsibility

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

A sermon on Romans 9:17-29. In this passage the Apostle Paul gives an answer that starts out "What if God?" This is really a non-answer telling us to remember we are but clay in the hands of the Potter, spoken in humility because of mystery. The pivotal truth of Deuteronomy 29:29 applies here as we deal with the hard truth that God sovereignly chooses to show mercy to some and harden others. We must remember the reason God does all that He does. Psalm 135 Isaiah 45:9-13

Co-occurrence of Myocardial Sarcoidosis and Left Ventricular Non-compaction in a Patient with Advanced Heart Failure

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 46-year-old man with systolic heart failure, end-stage renal disease on dialysis, ventricular tachycardia and pulmonary sarcoidosis presented with decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock of unknown aetiology. The hospital course was complicated by worsening shock requiring inotropic and mechanical circulatory support, as well as eventual dual heart and kidney transplantation. Cardiac imaging was used to assess the aetiology of the patient’s non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, including a PET scan and cardiac MRI. Imaging demonstrated findings consistent with left ventricular non-compaction, but was inconclusive for cardiac sarcoidosis. After eventual heart transplantation, histopathology of the patient’s explanted heart showed evidence of both non-compaction and cardiac sarcoidosis. In this case report, the authors review the pathophysiology of both cardiac sarcoidosis and left ventricular non-compaction, and highlight a multimodality approach to the diagnosis of non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
Trametes lactinea and T. villosa collected in Brazil are able to discolor indigo carmine

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT Dyes used in the textile industry contribute significantly to the increase of water pollution as they are disposed of, most of the time, without proper treatment. Indigo carmine is a synthetic dye widely used in the coloring of jeans and is considered difficult to remove, causing irreversible damage to the food chain in ecosystems. Mycomediation appears as an economical and sustainable way to treat textile effluents, and this work tested three strains of Trametes collected in Brazil against the ability to discolor the indigo carmine and also the activity of laccase, lignin and manganese peroxidases. The experiment was carried out in Kirk medium under static, non-sterile condition, at ± 28 °C for 120 h. Trametes lactinea (URM8350) discolored 81.40 % of the indigo carmine, T. lactinea (URM8350) 85.09 % and T. villosa (URM8022) 96.11 %. Laccase was detected in all specimens. Manganese peroxidase was detected in T. villosa and T. lactinea (URM8354), while lignin peroxidase was not detected in any of the isolates. The ability of T. lactinea to discolor dyes is reported for the first time. The discoloration rates demonstrate the ability of the strains to discolor carmine indigo and their promising use in the discoloration processes in wastewater from the textile segment.
Elongated pharyngeal flap in extensive clefts of the hard and soft palate.

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

In some cases of extensive palatal defects surgical closure may be regarded as unfeasible, and the condition treated with an obturator prosthesis. In such a case the cleft can be closed in one operation by means of a pharyngeal flap elongated through a pharyngotomy according to Bengt Johanson (1966). Eleven patients who had used obturators were operated on between 1957 and 1978. The mean age of the patients was 39 years. All patients were cleft lip and palate or cleft palate cases; two unilateral, five bilateral, and four with an isolated cleft palate. In most of these patients a temporary tracheostomy was performed after which the pharynx was opened through a neck incision. A flap was created which reached the alveolar ridge. For oral closure, mucoperiosteal flaps were used. Anterior palatal fistulas developed in two cases; one closed spontaneously and the other remained as a 3-mm fistula behind the alveolar ridge. Three patients had postoperative transient dysphagia. Phoniatric evaluation showed that two patients had better speech after operation than before with an obturator. Gross speech improvement at this late age should not be expected and is not the primary goal of the procedure. The aim of surgical closure with an elongated pharyngeal flap is to replace the obturator.
China’s life satisfaction, 1990–2010

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Despite its unprecedented growth in output per capita in the last two decades, China has essentially followed the life satisfaction trajectory of the central and eastern European transition countries—a U-shaped swing and a nil or declining trend. There is no evidence of an increase in life satisfaction of the magnitude that might have been expected to result from the fourfold improvement in the level of per capita consumption that has occurred. As in the European countries, in China the trend and U-shaped pattern appear to be related to a pronounced rise in unemployment followed by a mild decline, and an accompanying dissolution of the social safety net along with growing income inequality. The burden of worsening life satisfaction in China has fallen chiefly on the lowest socioeconomic groups. An initially highly egalitarian distribution of life satisfaction has been replaced by an increasingly unequal one, with decreasing life satisfaction in persons in the bottom third of the income distribution and increasing life satisfaction in those in the top third.
The Intervention of Physiotherapy in the improvement of facial mimicry in a Peripheral Facial Palsy associated with a Preg-nancy: A Case Report

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Peripheral Facial Palsy is a peripheral paralysis of the facial nerve that results in muscle weakness on one side of the face. Patients develop unilateral facial paralysis within one to three days with involvement of the facial musculature associated or not with neurological alterations, the best-known being Bell's Palsy. Symptoms usually peak in the first week and then gradually subside over three weeks to three months. In this context, a female patient with the clinical Diagnosis of Peripheral Facial Paralysis, was subjected to an intervention plan in Physiotherapy lasting 4 months (sessions of 45 minutes at a frequency of 3 times a week), with the particularity of be 28 weeks pregnant at the start of the sessions. After the end of the sessions, there was a considerable improvement in facial movements, translating into considerable functional changes. The patient acquired greater motor recruitment in flaccid muscles, greater facial symmetry, and consequently greater autonomy in eating, chewing, containing liquids and intraoral sensibility.
Inhibition of bactericidal and bacteriolytic activities of poly-D-lysine and lysozyme by chitotriose and ferric iron

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

In a previous report from this laboratory (N. J. Laible and G. R. Germaine, Infect. Immun. 48:720-728, 1985), evidence was presented to suggest that the bactericidal actions of both reduced (i.e., muramidase-inactive) human placental lysozyme and the synthetic cationic homopolymer poly-D-lysine involved the activation of a bacterial endogenous activity that was inhibitable by N,N',N"-triacetylchitotriose (chitotriose). In the present investigation however, we found that the bactericidal and bacteriolytic action of poly-D-lysine could be prevented only by some commercially available chitotriose preparations and not by others. Analysis by physical and chemical methods failed to distinguish protective chitotriose (CTa) and nonprotective chitotriose (CTi) preparations. CTi and CTa preparations displayed equal capacities to competitively inhibit binding of [3H]chitotriose by immobilized lysozyme and were indistinguishable in their abilities to block the lytic activity of lysozyme against Micrococcus lysodeikticus cells. Elemental analysis revealed significantly higher levels of phosphorus, calcium, iron, sodium, manganese, and copper in CTa. Removal of metals from CTa by chelate chromatography completely abolished the poly-D-lysine-protective capacity. Of the metals detected, only ferric iron (5 to 10 microM) mimicked the protective action of CTa. A Fe(III) concentration of 50 microM was required to inhibit lysozyme (5 micrograms/ml). Both Fe(III) and CTa (but not CTi) quantitatively blocked the labeling of poly-D-lysine by fluorescamine, suggesting that the primary amino groups of the lysine residues participate in iron binding. Thus, it appears that the poly-D-lysine-protective capacity of certain chitotriose preparations was due not to the chitotriose itself but to contaminating metal ions which interact directly with the polycationic agent. In contrast, Fe(III) cannot account for inhibition of either the bactericidal or bacteriolytic activity of lysozyme by chitotriose.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This study was aimed to evaluate the toxicity of biogenic Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on hematological and some serum biochemical parameters and also its histopathological effects in liver tissue in mice. Forty-eight male BALB/c mice were also used to determine the toxicity effects of SeNPs (2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg) on some serum biochemical parameters and also its histopathological effects in liver tissue in mice. Microscopic examination of tissue sections of liver under light microscope from mice treated with the Se NPs 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg doses showed there is no significant pathological change in comparison with those of the control groups. However, there was occasional focal mononuclear lymphocytic cellular infiltration around the portal and hepatocellular degeneration in 30 mg/kg doses group. The findings demonstrated that orally administration of Se NPs at the doses of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/kg for 14 days, had no significant toxicity on the serum hematological and clinical chemistry parameters. The obtained results confirmed that SeNPs at the tested doses had no significant toxicity on the liver and kidney organs and also against hematological parameters in mice. However supplementary investigations are required to determine other toxicity aspects such as genotoxicity, chronic toxicity.
Combating Rationalism and 'Blackism' in the Thought of Black Conservative George S. Schuyler

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

I argue that Schuyler-one of the most prolific American cultural commentators, white, black, or other, of the middle of the 20th century-is grossly misunderstood by his contemporary critics. Far from being the opportunistic political polemicist who was insensitive to the precarious situation of race relations in America that his detractors make him out to be, Schuyler was a sophisticated thinker well educated in the philosophical tradition known as conservatism. Though not a philosopher by trade, he articulated and defended epistemological, ethical, and political-philosophical suppositions long endorsed by such notable conservative theorists as Edmund Burke and Michael Oakeshott. And like the latter, he advanced conservatism in response to a philosophical orientation-rationalism-that conservatives have always recognized as being diametrically opposed to their own. The specific version of rationalism on which Schuyler set his sights is what I call "Blackism"-an abstract ideology that, he believed, undermined racial harmony by neglecting the concrete realities of race relations past and present. As an antidote to Blackism, Schuyler advanced his conservatism.
Adapting OpenAI's Whisper for Speech Recognition on Code-Switch Mandarin-English SEAME and ASRU2019 Datasets

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper details the experimental results of adapting the OpenAI's Whisper model for Code-Switch Mandarin-English Speech Recognition (ASR) on the SEAME and ASRU2019 corpora. We conducted 2 experiments: a) using adaptation data from 1 to 100/200 hours to demonstrate effectiveness of adaptation, b) examining different language ID setup on Whisper prompt. The Mixed Error Rate results show that the amount of adaptation data may be as low as $1\sim10$ hours to achieve saturation in performance gain (SEAME) while the ASRU task continued to show performance with more adaptation data ($>$100 hours). For the language prompt, the results show that although various prompting strategies initially produce different outcomes, adapting the Whisper model with code-switch data uniformly improves its performance. These results may be relevant also to the community when applying Whisper for related tasks of adapting to new target domains.
Physical basis and corresponding instruments for PAT performance testing of inter-satellite laser communication terminals

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The propagation of laser beam in inter-satellite laser communications belongs to the far-field diffraction, but in the optical test and verification of pointing, acquisition and tracking (PAT) function on the laboratory the beam from a terminal propagates within the near-field. In this paper, in terms of the Fresnel diffraction theory the inherent difference is found that in the far-field diffraction the optical tracking position error is resulted from both the mutual movement between two laser communication terminals and the tilting of the receiver terminal, but the tilting of the transmitter has no effect on the error position; and that in the near-field diffraction the position error is caused by the tilting of the transmitter or the receiver, but the mutual movement has no effect. It is furthermore found that the use of a beam scanner in the test in the near-field can simulate exactly the mutual movement of satellites in the far-field, and the trajectory formula for the beam scanning is deduced that is the same as the mutual angular trajectory from one satellite to another. Therefore a practical PAT test bed of a double-focus laser collimator, a beam scanner and a fine beam steering device is developed by us to test and verify the PAT function of inter-satellite laser communication terminals. The optical aperture is about φ440mm for this use. And a test bed for concurrent test and verification of both PAT function and communication performance is also demonstrated. The test bed consists of a conventional laser collimator, an optical scanner and a far-field beam transmission simulator, which is a combination of a Fourier-transform lens an a followed multiple-stage imaging amplifier. The details of configurations are given. It is clear that these test beds can be also used to test and verify the functions of laser radar, passive optical tracker, and so on.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is the third leading cause of death in addition to other heart and lung diseases in Indonesia. Overcoming the high cases of pulmonary TB disease is very important to be applied in order to reduce the incidence of pulmonary TB which can be in the form of treatment. To reduce the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis, knowledge is very important because it can reduce the risk of transmission of pulmonary tuberculosis. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis transmission at the Community Lung Health Center (BKPM) Purwokerto. The samples involved in this study were as many as 65 respondents who were taken using purposive sampling technique. This research is a quantitative study with a correlational design. The results of the spearman-rank test show p-value = 0.000, which means that there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the prevention of pulmonary tuberculosis transmission at the Community Lung Health Center (BKPM) Purwokerto and r = 0.453, which means that it has a sufficient correlation.
