Full textAbstract:
A comparative analysis of the anthropometric body dimensions of the male and female agricultural workers was conducted in South-Eastern Nigeria to ascertain the variations that exist among the body characteristics/dimensions of the male and female agricultural workers in the area. Thirty (30) anthropometric dimensions considered useful in the design of the agricultural equipment alongside with the heart rate of the workers were studied. Male and female agricultural workers within the age limit of 20-60 years were used for the study. Results obtained revealed that male agricultural workers had greater body dimensions than the females except in the waist circumferences and hip breadths in which the male measured average of 81.1cm and 34.4cm respectively and the female recorded 88.7cm and 42.1cm at waist and hip regions respectively. The comparison further showed that male agricultural workers had average stature and body weight of 168.3cm and 65.9kg respectively with the 5th and 95th percentiles of 162.75cm and 175.77cm respectively in stature; and 60.15kg and 71.73kg in body weight respectively. While the female recorded mean stature and body weight of 163.2cm and 64.8kg respectively with the corresponding 5th and 95th percentiles of 153.96cm and 172.17cm respectively in stature and 60.04kg and 69.35kg respectively in body weight. The males had average heart (pulse) rate of 73.8 beats/min while the females had 70.5 beats/min. The comparison generally did not show much variations, which implies that implements/machine designed for the male workers could suit the female workers or might be adjusted to suit the female workers. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i1.31

Full textAbstract:
Based on scant empirical data, the mating system of the hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) has been variously characterized as monogamous or polygynous. To evaluate the hypothesis that female hooded seals are clustered to a degree that would facilitate polygyny, we collected data on the spatial dispersion of female and male seals on the ice floes off the Labrador coast. While flying from a ship at the edge of the seal herd to a study site within the herd, we recorded each sighting of female seals as a "solitary female" or a "cluster of females" (using an approximate 10 body length radius to differentiate these conditions). The numbers of males near females were also recorded. Nearest-neighbor distances were obtained during on-ice transects. The frequency of nearest-female-neighbor distance classes peaked at 6–10 seal body lengths (one body length = 1.9–2.6 m) and then declined to distances of greater than 25 body lengths. About 40% of 357 females with pups (or 22% of 279 sightings of seals) were in clusters consisting of two or more mother–pup pairs; the maximal cluster size observed was five. The majority of females or clusters of females had a single male in attendance (54% of 245 sightings). Females in the central part of the herd were both clustered and attended by males more often than were females at the periphery. Observations of a few marked males suggested that some took up positions near additional females when their original female companions departed. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the spatial pattern of hooded seals should facilitate polygyny.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a simple non-invasive, sensitive measure to evaluate autonomic system activity. Sympathovagal imbalance can explain increased incidence of sudden cardiac deaths associated with increased Body Mass Index (BMI). Understanding the mechanism that connects obesity and autonomic nervous system (ANS) functions is important because increasing obesity prevalence documented among men and women of all ages. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship of body mass index to heart rate variability in young females. In this study, 90 healthy female students, aged between 17-22 years were included. After calculating the BMI, subjects were divided into three groups. HRV was recorded for 5 min using INCO-NIVIQURE DIGITAL ACQUISITION SYSTEM VER.52.0. Low frequency (LF) component, high frequency (HF) component and LF:HF ratio were recorded and the relation between BMI, HF, LF and LF:HF ratio were analysed using ANOVA test. In this study, LF:HF ratio in overweight females was found to be high and parasympathetic was decrease when compared to normal weight and underweight females. Raised BMI is associated with reduced HRV, which correlates with decreased parasympathetic activity and sympathovagal imbalance, thus increases the chances of cardiac autonomic dysfunction and eventually leading to cardiovascular disease in overweight female.

Purpose: A total of 60 pigs of both sexes (30 males and 30 females) reared under intensive system of management were randomly sampled and used in this study that lasted for 20 weeks, to assess the relationship between bodyweight and biometric parameters.
Methodology: Data obtained for bodyweight (kg), height (cm), body length (cm) and heart girth (cm) were subjected to Bivariate Pearson Correlation, analysed using SPSS version 25.
Findings: The result showed that despite higher numerical values recorded for female pigs, there were no correlation between sex and other body biometric parameters. However, body weight had strong correlation with other biometric parameters analysed. The body length had the highest direct contributions (r = 0.981) to body weight in male and female pigs respectively.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The forecast indices recorded in this work could be employed to predict bodyweight estimation and help in making management decision and breeding programs for genetic improvement in pigs.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The increase in the prevalence of obesity entails the need for accurate low-cost methods to estimate body fat percentage (BF%). Objective: The aim of this study was to develop mathematical models to estimate the BF% of young women from southern Brazil using inexpensive equipment, based on body circumferences (BC), considering the shortage of specific studies of this population. Methods: Subjects were women (n=130) aged 18 to 35 years (26.06±4.41 years), from the city of Curitiba. Body mass and stature were measured and used to estimate body mass index (BMI), while BC measurements of the arm, forearm, waist (narrowest point and umbilicus), abdomen, hip, thigh and leg were taken for use in the mathematical models. Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) equipment recorded the BF%. Pearson’s correlation was used for anthropometric variables and age in association with BF%. The indicators with best correlations were used to estimate linear regression mathematical models for prediction of BF%. The results of the two models and of nine anthropometric equations were compared to those obtained with the DXA using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and paired t-test. Results: Age was not significantly correlated with BF% (r=0.113 and p=0.200). The BCs with the highest correlations with BF% were abdomen, hip and waist - umbilicus (r=0.697, 0.682, 0.660, respectively, and p<0.001). Eight equations showed positive correlation with BF%, but only the results obtained with the models estimated in this study did not differ from those of DXA, with paired t-test. Mathematical models were developed with three (r=0.744, r²=0.554; t=0.16 and p=0.869) and six (r=0.768, r²=0.591; t=-0.04 and p=0.967) anthropometric variables. Conclusion: The use of mathematical models developed for estimating BF% based on body circumference and body mass is considered feasible.

The present investigations were carried out at Trout Culture Farm Laribal, Srinagar (J&K Govt.), India during December, 2020. Relationship between length-weight, spawning fecundity and relative fecundity was observed in rainbow trout (O. mykiss) and brown trout (S. trutta fario). The mean length of male rainbow trout was (38.77±1.38 cm) and mean length of (38.05±1.32 cm) was observed in female rainbow trout. While as, the mean length of male brown trout was (38.86±1.41 cm) and for female brown trout mean length of (37.98±1.30 cm) was observed. The mean weight of male and female rainbow trout recorded was 794.6±49.3 g and 766.3±64.3 g respectively, while as, the average weight of male and female brown trout was 772.7±41.4 g and 757.6±57.22 g respectively. The spawning fecundity female-1 of rainbow trout ranged from 2002−2804 eggs and mean relative fecundity of 3.13±0.12 g-1 body weight was observed and for brown trout the spawning fecundity female-1 fish ranged from 961 to 1604 eggs, with a relative fecundity of 1.41 g-1 body weight to 1.56 g-1 body weight. The present study recorded a significant positive correlation between total body length and total body weight of male rainbow trout (r=0.938, p<0.05) and total body length and total body weight of female rainbow trout (r=0.989, p<0.05) and for brown trout a significant positive correlation was recorded between total body length and spawning fecundity, body weight and spawning fecundity was observed. However, relative fecundity formed a significant negative correlation between total length, body weight and spawning fecundity in brown trout.

Full textAbstract:
Prevalence of some common human traits viz., body weight, height and body mass index (BMI), pattern baldness, body hair, chin, colour blindness, cheek dimples, earlobes, length of index finger, lips, nose, polydactyly, tongue and widow’s peak, and ABO blood groups along with their Rh-D antigen, were recorded and analyzed from 500 male and 1000 female students of the Rajshahi University (RU) Campus. Results showed that body weights of the male students (66.42±8.92 kg) were significantly higher (t= 35.14; P<0.001) than those of the female students (51.64±6.97 kg). The differences in BMI between males (23.32±3.26) and females (20.85±2.63), as expected, were also highly significant (t= 15.79; P<0.001) and notably, some of the female students were underweight (BMI< 18.5). No female had baldness compared to 15.8% bald males. Sparse body hair was prevalent over the dense body hair in both genders. The females had much higher smooth chin (89.6%) than the males (58.0%) but the males had much higher cleft chin (42.0%) compared to the females (10.4%). No female was colourblind whereas 7.4% males were colourblind. Absence of dimples was recorded in 92.4% males and 85.7% females. Attached earlobes were higher than the free earlobes in both sexes. Compared to the length of the ring finger, shorter index finger was prevalent both in males (85.4%) and females (68.6%). Frequencies of the broad lips in males and females were 53.4% and 58.6%, respectively. Females dominated large and broad noses (76.1%) in comparison with their male counterparts (61.4%). Polydactyly was a rare trait in the Campus, where only 2.2% males and 0.2% females had extra digits in their hands or feet. Tongue rollers (53.8%) outnumbered the tongue folders in males, but tongue folders (54.4%) outnumbered the tongue rollers in females. Males with widow’s peak were higher (25.8%) than that in the females (19.0). Blood groups in the males and females were in the order: B (32.0) > O (29.8) > A (22.4) > AB (15.8) and O (34.8) > B (34.4) > A (21.9) > AB (8.9), respectively. As a whole, 85.4% males and 98.0% females were Rh-positive where the blood group phenotypes did not affect body weight, height and BMI of the subjects (r=0.012; P=0.63). The relevance of these findings to the physical, physiological, social and clinical well-being of the humans has been discussed. Bangladesh J. Zool. 49 (2): 215-228, 2021

Full textAbstract:
Morphometric study of adult Chinese citrus fly, Bactrocera minax (Enderlein) was carried out on May, 2020 at Sindhuli, Nepal. The mean body length of female recorded significantly higher, 14.29 ± 0.20 mm, than male, 12.52 ± 0.26 mm, with the mean difference of 1.77 mm (p = ≤ 0.001). Females had a wider body (3.90 ± 0.06 mm) compared to males (3.39 ± 0.05 mm) (p = ≤ 0.001) which differed significantly by 0.51 mm. Adult female possessed a wider wingspan, i.e. 23.51 ± 0.23 mm significantly different than adult male, i.e. 22.80 ± 0.19 mm with the mean difference of 0.71 mm (p = ≤ 0.05). Similarly, the average wing length measured 8.82 ± 0.13mm in male and 9.05 ± 0.11 mm in female with the mean difference of 0.23 mm. The ovipositor length recorded 4.52 ± 0.12 mm. This information is useful to distinguish between Chinese citrus fly and other fruit fly species of citrus orchards and useful in planning of the suitable management options.

Abstract Rabbits provide a cheap source of high quality animal protein and thus have the potential to bridge the shortage of animal protein in developing countries. Data were collected on 174 New Zealand × California cross-bred rabbits (87 males and 87 females) for this study, to quantify the morphological characteristics and to determine the morphological parameters that contribute to body conformation using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Data were collected on live body weight (LBW), body length (BDL), ear length (EAL), tail length (TAL), rump length (RUL), heart girth (HAG) and abdominal circumference (ADC). Data collected were analysed using the procedures of the PAST® 3.21 statistical package. Mean live body weight (± SE) for the females (0.980 ± 0.02 kg) and males (0.790 ± 0.02 kg) was recorded. There were positive and highly significant (p < 0.01) correlation coefficients between live body weight and the linear body measurements. One principal component was extracted, accounting for 64.8% of the total variances in morphological indicators measured in the New Zealand × California rabbits. The extracted principal component in this study could be used as aid in selection programme. The results obtained revealed the occurrence of sexual dimorphism, where female rabbits recorded significantly (p < 0.05) higher values than males in all the traits measured. This information suggests that use of rabbit for meat production should skew towards raising female rabbits.

Full textAbstract:
Koreodrama je jedan od oblika pozorišne igre u kojoj se insistira na sintezi različitih oblika ispoljavanja: pokretom, muzikom, rečju. Ne postoji jedna definicija koreodrame s obzirom na vreme kada se pojavila i na umetničke i društvene prilike u kojima su pojedine snažne koreografske ličnosti stvarale do danas u svetu i Srbiji. Istražuju se praktične i teorijske dimenzije koreodrame kao zasebnog pozorišnog žanra sa stanovišta forme koja doprinosi razvoju rodnih studija, pre svega diskusijom o emancipaciji ženskog tela.Cilj ovoga rada je da prikupi, sistematizuje i interpretira podatke o razvoju koreodrame u Srbiji tokom 20. veka i njenom vidljivom prodoru u pozorišnoj umetnosti 21. veka - kako bi se jasno pokazale zasluge žena u afirmaciji ovog pozorišnog usmerenja.Hipoteza je da je koreodrama izmenila odnos prema igri, odnos prema drami i odnos prema ženskom telu.Savremene teorija roda vode računa o osobinama identiteta žena (i muškaraca) i tumače ga kao promenljivu pojavu kompleksnog sadržaja, sastavljenu od više različitih komponenata (Duhaček, 2011; 2014). U tumačenju osobina identiteta četiri odabrane umetnice koristimo holistički teorijski pristup savremenih teorija (poststrukturalni, postmoderni i interkulturalni feminizam), a metodom analize diskursa takav teorijski pristup proveravamo. Takav teorijski pristup uzima u obzir ne samo verbalnu poruku, nego podjednako i kontekst u kojem se verbalni i neverbalni događaj ispoljava i same sagovornike.Promenljivost identiteta je osnova ovakvog teorijskog pristupa, dokumentovana na empirijskom materijalu života i stvaralaštva umetnica u Srbiji u 20. veku.Metod istraživanja se oslanja na analizu teksta, odnosno dva su osnovna metoda (Savić, 1993): analiza tekstova i analiza razgovora (diskursa).Rezultati pokazuju da su se u Srbiji koreodramom bavile uglavnom umetnice izrazite individualnosti i obrazovanja, o kojima je samo delimično pisano u domaćoj literaturi kada je u pitanju odnos roda i koreodramskog postupka stvaranja, odabiranja sadržaja i afirmisanja u javnom prostoru: Maga Magazinović, Smiljana Mandukić, Nada Kokotović i Sonja Vukićević.1.Vlastitim umetničkim i pedagoškim delovanjem naše četri umetnice doprinele su širenju znanja o igri u Srbiji uopšte, posebno novom poimanju oslobođenog tela (i to ne samo u igri);2 Njihov doprinos se ogleda u ukupnoj emancipaciji žena (u profesiji, u porodici i dr.);3. Sada je poznato da je uporedo tekla borba za ravnopravnost žena u društvu sa afirmacijom moderne igre i koreodrame u Srbiji.4. Rad četiri umetnice je uticao na formiranje stvarateljki nove generacije koreografkinja u Srbiji u 21. veku.Zaključujem da postoji kontinuitet u afirmisanju žanra koreodrame u pozorišnom životu Srbije od periferije ka centru umetničkog događanja.Podaci iz ovog istraživanja se mogu neposredno uključiti u postojeće kurikulume o savremenoj igri na Akademiji umetnosti, s jedne strane, i u obrazovni program iz muzičke i pozorišne umetnosti u srednjim školama, s druge strane.Choreodrama is a form of theatrical dance which insists on the synthesis of different forms of expression: movement, music, word. There is not a unique definition of choreodrama given the time when it appeared on the artistic and social situation in which some strong choreographic personalities have created to this date in the world and Serbia as well. The practical and theoretical dimensions of choreodrama as a separate genre are examined from the standpoint of form which contributes the development of gender studies, especially the discussion on the emancipation of the female body.The aim of this study is to gather, systematize and interpret information on the development of choreodrama in Serbia during the 20th century and its visible breakthrough in the art of theatre of the 21st century - in order to clearly show the merits of women in the promotion of this theatrical direction.The hypothesis is that choreodrama has changed attitude towards dance, the attitude towards drama and relationship to the female body.Contemporary theories of gender pay special attention on the characteristics of women' identity (and men' as well) and interpret it as the emergence of a complex variable content made up of several different components (Duhacek, 2011; 2014). In identity characterics interpreting of four selected artists we use a holistic theoretical approach to contemporary theories (poststructural, postmodern feminism and intercultural feminism) and this theoretical approach can be checked by method of discourse analysis. Such an approach takes into account not only the verbal message, but also the context in which the verbal and non-verbal situations are manifested, as well as interlocutors themselves. Variability of identity is the basis of this theoretical approach, documented in the empirical material of the female artists' lives and work in Serbia in the 20th century.The research method relies on the analysis of the text or, to be precise, two basic methods (Savić, 1993): analysis of texts and conversation analysis (discourse). The results show that in Serbia mainly female artists of great individuality and education dealt with choreodrama and they were only partly written about in our literature concerning the relationship of gender and choreodrama process of creation, selection of content and affirmation in the public area: Maga Magazinović, Smiljana Mandukić, Nada Kokotović and Sonja Vukicevic.1.With their personal artistic and pedagogical functioning, our four women artists have contributed to spreading the knowledge about dance in Serbia in general, especially the new understanding of the liberated body (and not only in dance);2. Their contribution is reflected in the total emancipation of women (in their profession, family, etc.);3Now it is known that the struggle for women's equality in society was lead simultaneously with the affirmation of the modern dance and choreodrama in Serbia.4. The work of these four female artists has influenced the work of the creators of a new generation of choreographers in Serbia in the 21st century.I conclude that there is continuity in the promotion of the choreodrama genre in Serbian theatrical life from the periphery to the center of artistic events.The research information can be directly incorporated into existing curricula of contemporary art at the Academies of Arts, on the one hand, and in the educational programme of music and theatrical art in secondary schools, on the other hand.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the rise of vernacular Arabic theatrical production that recorded some Jewish–Muslim collaborations in line with the work of Marie Soussan. It highlights how the trajectory of Soussan represented the linguistic and artistic heritage of Jewish–Muslim cultural interactions in Algeria under the colonial regime. Soussan recorded her songs from Andalusi and hawzi repertoire while playing a significant role as a female lead and representing the colonized female body during the emergence of popular Algerian theatrical production. Moreover, theatrical production was deemed necessary for European settler-colonial society in order to imitate the metropole. Additionally, theatrical production continued to be within the interest of the cross-continental Algerian colonized society.

Full textAbstract:
Audeguy’s Theory of Clouds reaches far beyond the cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus forms we know. The Krakatoa volcano was “the largest cloud ever recorded,” a natural bomb that was duplicated decades later by the grotesque mushroom cloud over Hiroshima, and the ashes rising from the chimneys of Auschwitz and other concentration camps. Humans have allowed themselves to be “denatured,” destroying themselves and the world in the process. There is an intimate relationship between the microcosm of the human body and the macrocosm of nature, neither of which we can fully understand: a “confrontation between the limitlessness of desire and the unthinkable infinity of nature” (Audeguy, Opera mundi 39). Audeguy’s protagonist Abercrombie is a true “erotologist,” obsessed by the mysterious connection between female bodies (microcosm) and clouds (macrocosm).

Full textAbstract:
Nonylphenol (NP), as a typical environmental endocrine disruptor, exists widely in the natural environment. It has a high toxicity with a low concentration. NP at the level of μg/L is enough to interfere with the sex differentiation of many aquatic organisms. The effects of degradation of NP in waste water by strong ionization (SID) and its degradation products on sex differentiation in zebrafish was studied in this paper. The NP solution of 5mg/L was degraded by SID device, and the 20d zebrafish were exposed to NP wastewater of different concentrations before and after degradation until their sexual maturity. The body length, body weight and sex differentiation ratio of zebrafish were recorded, and the sex hormone levels of zebrafish were extracted and detected. The gonadal glands of zebrafish were slices and analysed. This study found that the effects of nonylphenol on male zebrafish were much greater than that of female, and there was no significant positive correlation between toxicity and dose. In addition, the effects of 5mg/L NP wastewater degraded by SID for 60min were not significantly different from those of the control group, indicating that SID could effectively degrade NP and alleviate its biological toxicity.

Visitors to the Lawrence Room, Girton College, Cambridge University, on Thursday afternoons (when the small one room museum is open to the public) will find a dead body on display. The body is that of an Egyptian mummy from the Coptic period with a painted face mask and inscription ‘Hermione Grammatike’. It was this inscription that attracted Girton College to acquire this ancient body. A loose translation suggests this was a woman scholar, and therefore the first recorded woman scholar in history and as such an appropriate ‘mascot’ for one of the early great champions for formal female education. The mummy was purchased from Egyptologist Flinders Petrie who had excavated it in 1910–11 (Imogen Gunn and Dorothy Thompson, pers. comm.). The case of Hermione is both particular and general. Across all of the UK and indeed the Western world, human remains from all ages and all parts of the world can be found in all types of museums of all sizes apparently isolated and insulated from society’s normal relationships with the dead: grief, morbidity, respect, invisibility. Context would appear to be everything in terms of attitudes to the display of the human dead. This paper reviews this concept of context, and offers some commentary on the origins, constraints, and boundaries for the display of human remains. To begin with an Egyptian mummy as an example is also appropriate, as this particular category has an almost ubiquitous and overpowering place in Western museums. It has been accepted practice to include human remains in displays since the widespread establishment of public museums in the nineteenth century. These are normally associated with archaeological discoveries but can also be found in physical and social anthropological displays, medical and history of medicine displays, and occasionally in other contexts. Museum practice is very much a creation of Western, primarily Enlightenment, values and the inclusion of human remains in displays can be traced in these values (for example, the anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and the public anatomy demonstrations of the nascent Royal Society in London) and in the Christian European culture from which this derived (for example, the display in churches of saints’ relics: Weiss-Krejci this volume).

Full textAbstract:
Among the goat breeds of India, Osmanabadi goat breed is one of the most popular goat breed of the arid and semi-arid region of Maharashtra state. Historically this breed is known to exist on Deccan Plateau since decades. The name Osmanabadi is derived from its origin, i.e. Osmanabad district in Maharashtra state. The breeds is distributed mainly in 2 southern states of India viz. Western Telangana and North Eastern Karnataka state and are having largest contribution to meat production in Southern India as their meat is very tasty when compared with local breeds. The Osmanabadi breed is suited to all types of rearing systems, the most ideal being the semi-intensive system (grazing and closed enclosure) where higher production has been observed compared to extensive (grazing system) and intensive systems (zero grazing system). Osmanabadi goats reared in the Maharashtra, Karnataka and Telangana border region had been analysed with reproductive parameters and found that, the female kids attend puberty at the age of 349.8 ± 6.9 days with 17.45 ± 0.23 Kg body weight. The average gestation period found was 152.24 ± 0.24 days. The mean age at first kidding was found to be 494.4 ± 8.1 days. The average duration of post-partum anoestrus period was 67.34 ± 6.31 days which was responsible for short inter-kidding interval which shows high profile reproductive efficiency. The mean kidding interval recorded as 232.62 ± 5.45 days. Majority of kidding resulted in single births (87.27%) and with only 12.73% of multiple births. Breeding season and kidding season of Osmanabadi goats was observed from the month of June to September and November to February as a major.

Focusing on Atomic Blonde and Red Sparrow, the chapter explores the familiar forms of dehumanization invoked to reinforce the inherent othering of the rival nation, as well as how Hollywood interpolates the ostensibly progressive image of the self-reliant female action hero in working to shore up perceptions of institutions such as the CIA (with its long and ongoing record of collusion with some of the most reactionary militant and political groups across the globe). The chapter examines these two films within the context of the broader resurgence of Cold War imagery and ideology in contemporary Hollywood.

Full textAbstract:
In 1916 Columbia University dropped its Latin requirement for admissions, effectively opening its doors to the striving sons of immigrants. Thus (in a word) it became the first Ivy League school to deal with the issue of diversity. In the same year, Professor John Erskine proposed what became the General Honors course, Columbia’s celebrated core curriculum of Great Books. Much later that program would come under fire for not including enough female and non-Western authors—but measured against the standards of its time, it was strikingly democratic, inclusive, and anti-authoritarian. The students who were now entering, educated at public schools, lacked the common classical training of prep-school boys, so Erskine aimed to teach them a shared body of literature that was far more broad and accessible. It took the Classics Department a year to get through Herodotus in the original: General Honors covered him (in translation) in a week. And Erskine’s definition of “Great Book” was clearly flexible: he envisioned that the reading list would be revised from year to year, and at first it was. The aim was not to follow a rigid canon, but to create the basis for a common conversation. And so it did: the early cohort of students included young men who would go on to shape intellectual discourse in mid-century America: Lionel Trilling, Jacques Barzun, Clifton Fadiman, Whittaker Chambers, Joseph Mankiewicz (future screenwriter and director), and Leon Keyserling (later Harry Truman’s top economic advisor), with Mark Van Doren and Mortimer Adler serving as instructors. Early in his teaching career, Erksine explained his liberation pedagogy: . . . A college course in literature should provide for two things—the direct contact of the student’s mind with as many books as possible, and the filling in of any gaps in his sympathy with what he reads. Almost all the great books were intended for the average man, and the author contemplated an immediate relation with his audience. There is room for the annotator or teacher only when time has made the subject remote or strange, or when the reader’s imagination is unable to grasp the recorded experience . . . If the student’s task is to read great books constantly, the teacher’s part [is] to connect the reading with the pupil’s experience . . . . . .

Full textAbstract:
Currently, cumaceans authorities recognize approximately 1,606 species; most of the literature concerning the order focuses on α-taxonomy. Although the cumaceans have more species than the tanaidaceans, they are distributed among far fewer families. Cumaceans are benthic animals and, for the most part, marine in their habits, although some brackish and freshwater forms occur. They can be found from littoral to abyssal depths; their greatest diversity seems to be in the deep sea. A poor fossil record exists, with specimens generally so small that they lend themselves to study only with scanning electron microscopy. They prefer in-faunal benthic habitats. The females remain cryptic, while the males seek out the sequestered females—although one species is often taken in plankton tows. The cumaceans possess one of the most distinctive anatomical body plans among the peracaridans.

Discusses how the investigative methodologies of John Clay and Henry Mayhew mediated the migrant image towards the mid-19th century. The study focusses on power relations between subject and investigator. Editing, fictionalisation, and moral fable-making appear to give control over representations of the migrant. By contrast, interviewees deploy their own cultural resources as a counter-archive of migrant experience founded on oral tradition, selective telling and viewpoint to refuse the expectations of the investigator. The two accounts examined and compared in detail are both by ‘juvenile delinquents’: first, Ellen O’Neill’s Extraordinary Confessions of a Female Pickpocket (1850), recorded by prison reform advocate John Clay, recounting the testimony of young Irish diaspora woman travelling England during the early-mid 19th century; second, the testimony of a ‘vagrant boy’ as reported by Henry Mayhew (1850).

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the role of vagrancy law in regulating the affective, sexual, reproductive, and domestic lives of the English poor. It traces vagrancy's appearance at the margins of both the novel and the marriage plot across a series of texts, including Jane Barker's Patchwork Screen for the Ladies (1723), Sarah Scott's Millenium Hall (1762), and, most centrally, Henry Fielding's The Female Husband (1746). Fielding, as novelist, magistrate, and major eighteenth-century theorist of police, is at the center of the chapter, which reads his figuration of vagrancy as a kind of sexuality that disrupts labor-discipline, marriage, and legitimate inheritance. At the same time, Fielding's text and the archival records of policing that surround it reveal how one might take vagrancy as a category of analysis for transgender history, since the construction of the sexed body as metonym for juridical identity developed through a nexus of policing, surveillance, and transatlantic print culture for which vagrancy was a foundational legal category. Finally, through readings of Scott's Millenium Hall and Mary Saxby's posthumously published Memoirs of a Female Vagrant (1806), the chapter shows that literary histories of sexuality look profoundly different if one centers the parish rather than the family as the field of analysis.

In ASME 2017 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2017-70730.
Full textAbstract:
A realization of how specific exercises relate to balance performance is important for a wide demographic of individuals. Maintaining active and healthy living is particularly important for balance-impaired individuals (e.g., otherwise healthy individuals recovering from injury, fall-prone elderly, and stroke survivors) whom are interested in improving their balance for function in daily life. However, balance performance is also important for persons that are unimpaired (e.g., athletes). How balance performance may be improved as a result of, and in relation to, various athletic activities and exercises is a common question. Further, how certain activities can be used to prevent injury is an ultimate goal. Our objective was to compare standing balance in 3 unimpaired groups (i.e., female track & female tennis collegiate athletes and female non-athletes). To assess static balance, participants performed stance variations increasing in difficulty-level, utilizing a wide or tandem stance (increasing or decreasing support base) and eyes-open or eyes-closed (limiting or providing visual cues), while standing on a forceplate walkway. Through the recorded ground reaction forceplate-based, center-of-pressure (COP) position time series, we extracted velocity and displacement parameters that aided in identifying differences between the above groups. Our general findings were that anterior-posterior (AP, or front-to-back) COP displacement and velocity measures for female track athletes were unchanged relative to the (baseline) female non-athletes. However, mediolateral (ML, or side-to-side) measures, which have previously been shown to be associated with fall-risk, showed observable differences in displacement and velocity parameters, particularly for the female track athletes. Specifically, the female track athletes were better able to control their ML COP velocity in eyes-closed, wide, and eyes-open tandem conditions compared to non-athletes. However, tennis athletes had difficulty balancing in situations where eyes were closed (vision eliminated) and feet were tandem (base-of-support decreased) which was made apparent by the increases in all AP and ML COP-derived parameters. We interpreted this finding as the female tennis athletes were trained to rely heavily on visual cues (e.g., hand-eye or eye-body coordination), and also their balance may be more focused on maintaining their center-of-mass stability and body orientation, as opposed to COP per se. Our study lends new insights as to how various types of athletic activities, and reliance on vision in athletes, impacts balance performance in un-impaired females.

Full textAbstract:
A study of postnatal development of offspring of white rats exposed by peat smoke to during puberty was made. Experimental modeling of a peat fire was carried out once for 4 hours on 45th day of animals life. The concentrations of carbon monoxide and particulate matter PM2.5 in exposure chambers were 29.3±3.5 mg/m3 and 0.395±1.2 mg/m3, respectively. At the age of 3 months, smoke-exposed male and female white rats were mated with intact partners. The neonatal and breastfeeding period, body weight gain, indicators of physical development, and the rate of maturation of sensory-motor reflexes of rat pups from the resulting offspring were determined. It was shown that a single exposure of peat smoke leads to an increase in body weight, a pronounced violation of physical development and maturation of sensory-motor reflexes. The most pronounced disorders were recorded in offspring obtained from females exposed to smoke. These animals demonstrated a lag in physical development, as evidenced by the later appearance of the primary hairline, as well as a significant increase in body weight and a decrease in the rate of maturation of sensorimotor reflexes "negative geotaxis" and "avoidance of cliff".

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The study involves applying the inverse dynamics to calculate the 3-dimensional (3D) reaction forces and moments at the lower limbs namely: hip, knee, and ankle joints. The study is specific to performing the Lebanese folkloric dance known as the “Dabke jump”. The aim is to compare the impact forces generated at the three joints. Also envisioned is to contrast the forces generated for a male (63 Kg) and a female (50.4 kg) dancer (barefoot and while she wears 8.5 cm high heels). The experimental part of the study consists of measuring position data of the right lower limb of the participant when performing the jump. All at once, the reaction forces generated at the impact are synchronously measured. The position data are obtained using the OptiTrack™ motion capture system. The ground reaction forces are measured using the AMTI force plate. Using kinematics analysis in conjunction with inverse dynamics, the filtered and fitted experimental data are then imported into MATLAB® to obtain a table containing all the internal forces and moments at each joint (ankle, knee, and hip joints) as function of time. Next, the results are plotted and compared. Force and moment data are analyzed using R Project for statistical computing software. The boxplot technique is used to identify the presence of outliers. Using both MannWhitney and Krustkal Wallis tests, all joint reaction forces and moments in three dimensions are analyzed, at different time intervals to instantaneously identify the prominent effect on each joint. It is found that the largest impact force is generated at the ankle joint for both subjects. For the male participant, the impact maximum vertical force measured at the ankle is about 2.2 of body weight (BW). For the female participant, a maximum vertical force of 1.84 BW is recorded both barefoot and with heals. The forces and moments obtained for this male individual are larger than those obtained for this female individual. Moreover, for the female participant the vertical forces obtained for all joints when wearing an 8.5 cm high heel are found to be lower than those obtained when she is barefoot. This is most notably recorded at the hip joint where a maximum decrease of 21.2% is observed. This finding suggests that when a dancer performs the “Dabke jump”, wearing an appropriate heel of suitable height will decrease the vertical impact forces on the lower limb joints and decrease the risk of injuries.

Abstract. Introduction. The problem of women's health protection in enterprises producing and using nickel and its compounds is particularly relevant, since women make up a significant contingent of workers at some stages of production. Nickel and its compounds are used in the production of high-alloy steels, alloys with copper, chromium, aluminum, as a catalyst in the processes of hydrogenation of fats, in the production of batteries, nickel-plating of metal products. In case of violations of the technological process, labor protection conditions, workers may be exposed to nickel aerosol and its oxides. Purpose. To study the effect of nickel and its insoluble compounds on the reproductive function of white rats. Method of research. The studies were carried out on sexually mature female white rats weighing 180-200 g with a stable estrous cycle lasting 4-6 days. Experimental studies were conducted in accordance with national and international regulatory requirements ensuring humane treatment of animals used in experiments: Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of September 22, 2010 on the protection of animals used in scientific purposes, Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of 01.04.2016 No. 199n «On approval of the Rules of good laboratory Practice». The industrial conditions for the action of aerosol of insoluble nickel compounds were simulated in a special chamber with an individual intake of aerosol into the breathing zone at a concentration of 0.2 mg / m3 daily for 4 hours during the entire gestation period. The animals were assessed for the dynamics of body weight on the 1st, 8th, 14th and 20th days of pregnancy. On the 20th day of pregnancy, the number of yellow bodies of pregnancy, placentas and fetuses was determined, pre-, post-implantation and total intrauterine death, average length and weight of fetuses, and average placenta weight were calculated. The total number of pregnant females and fetuses was recorded with the subsequent calculation of the number of fetuses per female. Results. The action of an aerosol of insoluble nickel compounds at a concentration of 0.2 mg / m3 in this mode did not lead to a violation of the reproductive function of white rats in all the studied parameters. Conclusion. The experimental data obtained indicate that insoluble nickel compounds at the level of the maximum permissible concentrations for the air of the working area will not pose a risk of developing reproductive health pathology in working women.

Full textAbstract:
Covid-19 pandemic is a global health issue that adversely affected every sector of the world’s economy. Fruits are known to be a source of vitamins providing the body with necessary defense against infections (inclusive of Coronaviruses). Nigerians prefer to buy ready-to-eat (RTE) fruits than whole fruits due to their high prices. Consumer perception of RTE fruits sold in Ogun and Lagos, Nigeria during the Covid-19 pandemic months in 2020 and within January and March 2021 via an online survey were compared. Ogun and Lagos states were selected because they represent major entry routes for land and air travel into Nigeria respectively. 500 respondents were obtained with 49.7% each as male and female respectively in Ogun state while Lagos had 49.5% and 50.5% of the male and female gender. In addition, the predominant age group that responded to the questionnaire falls within 21 – 30 with 49.7% in Ogun state and 54.1% in Lagos state. 96.1% of the respondents in Ogun state had a tertiary education while 99% was recorded to possess tertiary education in Lagos state. 34% respondents took RTE fruits 2- 3 times a week, 31.2% less than once a week while only 2.8% took RTE fruits 4 – 5 times a week. From the survey, 84% of the respondents were aware that fruits possess needed vitamins to fight infections while only 87.4% of the respondent were aware of fruit borne poisoning and have knowledge of fruit borne pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiellaspp, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Penicilliumspp, Aspergillusnigerand Rhizopusstolonifer. This study shows that fruit consumers neglected health consciousness in the purchase of RTE fruits in Ogun and Lagos in the first 3 months of 2021 compared to 2020. This negligence may result in a spike of another Covid-19 wave in Ogun and Lagos if the necessary food and health regulatory authorities fail to act timely. Also, the application of an effective hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) application reduces the chance of contamination of ready- to- eat fruits.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Periodization and planning of the training load is an essential process in the preparation of an elite gymnast. On the one hand, the coaches and gymnasts have to achieve the necessary level (individual maximum) of the volume (quantity of elements and routines), and on the other hand, they have to do it at the “right time”. Last but not least is to prevent the gymnasts from injuries. That is why we need to study the dynamic of the training load from a physiological point of view and should have a better understanding of how the body’s system responds. This study aims to observe body reactions to the training load during one microcycle and one mesocycle in acrobatics gymnastics. One female youth Olympic champion (18 years old) and one male bronze medallist from junior WCH (26 years old) were tested. The study was made at the end of the preparation period and the beginning of the competitive period. The indicators measured were HR, blood La. Heart rate was recorded by Suunto Ambit 2. A drop of blood sample was taken from the fingertip to assess the average peak blood lactate concentration using an Accutrend Plus Roche. A heart rate record was made during one week of training (6 training days). Monitoring of the blood La took place once a week (every Thursday) for one month. The obtained results show how the gymnast body’s systems react to the training load in microcycles and mesocycle in acrobatics gymnastics. The data allow timely optimization of the training load and is a prerequisite for the improvement of the next periodization and planning of the training load not only for gymnasts that were tested but also for high-level gymnasts (Mixed Pair) with similar age and anthropometric indicators.

In ASME 2015 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2015-52423.
Full textAbstract:
Traumatic injuries and biomechanical responses of a pedestrian depend on vehicle front end characteristics as well as the pedestrian anthropometric details in vehicle-pedestrian crashes. A number of laboratory experiments were conducted using post mortem human subjects (PMHS) to understand the biomechanics behind the injuries in a pedestrian crash. However, different vehicular front ends were used in these studies making comparisons among studies impossible. The current research work focuses on validating simulated pedestrian kinematics and accelerations responses of MADYMO full body pedestrian model with the experimental results. In general, overall kinematics of the body for pedestrian models were also compared with that recorded in the video snapshots from the cadaveric experimental tests at 50 ms time intervals. Along with the validation of kinematics of pedestrian, the acceleration responses of head, chest, pelvic and lower leg of the pedestrians were also validated against the corresponding experimental data. Other responses like head angle as well as head impact velocity during primary impact with the hood were analyzed at different impact speeds. Once the responses were validated for a particular front end of the vehicle, a series of numerical parametric studies were further conducted using several front end profiles based off a mid-sized sedan. For the parametric study, different pedestrian models representing three pedestrian sizes, a 50th male, a 5th female, and a 6 years-old child, were used in the simulations. Finite element model of a vehicle front end was changed in terms of the heights of bumper, bonnet leading-edge, and bonnet rear reference-line using a mesh-morphing technique. In most simulations, primary head impact location depends on the pedestrian size, and the secondary impact with ground at the head region is affected by type of vehicle and its front end profile. Kinematics of the pedestrians as well as the angle of primary head impact varies a great deal based upon the front-end profile of the striking vehicle (e.g., raised front-end profile or lowered front-end profile). Leg and pelvis accelerations were found to be high in vehicles with raised front end profiles. Chest and head accelerations were also found to be affected by vehicle front end profile and pedestrian size. However, it should be noted that there were some front-end profiles that help in avoiding pedestrian secondary head impact with the ground.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Antibiotics are antimicrobial drugs used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. They played a pivotal role in achieving major advances in medicine and surgery (1). Yet, due to increased and inappropriate use of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance (AR) has become a growing public health problem. Information on antibiotic prescription patterns are vital in developing a constructive approach to deal with growing antibiotic resistance (2). The study aims to describe the population based antibiotic prescriptions among patients attending primary care centers in Qatar. Methodology: A population based observational study of all medications prescribed in the all Primary Health Care Centers during the period of 2017-2018 in Qatar. Records with all medication prescriptions were extracted and linked to medical diagnosis. Antibiotics prescriptions records were compared to non- antibiotics records using logistic regression model in identifying the potential predictors for antibiotic prescriptions. Results: A total of 11,069,439 medication prescriptions given over a period of two-years, we found about 12.1% (n= 726,667) antibiotics prescriptions were antibiotics, and 65% of antibiotics are prescribed and received by the patients at the first visits. Paracetamol (22.3%) was the first highest medication prescribed followed by antibiotics (12.1 %) and vitamin D2 (10.2 %). More than half of all antibiotics prescribed during the period of January 2017 to December 2018 were Penicillin (56.9%). We found that half of the antibiotics (49.3 %) have been prescribed for the respiratory system comparing to the other body system. We found that males were 29% more likely be given an antibiotic compared to females (OR=1.29, 95% CI= 1.24- 1.33). Implications: The study provides a baseline data to enable PHCC management to design effective intervention program to address the problem of antibiotics resistance. Furthermore, it will help the policymakers to comprehend the size of the issue and develop a system to manage the antibiotics therapy. Conclusion: Antibiotics was the second highest medication prescribed in the Primary Health Care Centers in Qatar after paracetamol and most of the patients received it at the first visit. Most of the prescriptions in Primary Health Care Centers in Qatar were for the respiratory system, and Penicillin was the highest class prescribed. Male visitors were prescribed antibiotics more than female visitors.

Background: Complement system is one of ancient innate immune systems in our body fighting against pathogens and foreign bodies. Either one of its three pathways, classical, alternative or lectin activates it. Because of its role and importance in combating against different pathological conditions, it works through defined proteins including regulators and inhibitors. However, over or under stimulation of complement system can lead to various diseases. A number of analytical assays are used to measure complement proteins and its activation states considering complement 3 (C3), complement 4 (C4) as the most common test used. Objectives: Our aims are to study the clinical utility and cost effectiveness of C3 and C4 among different clinical subspecialties in Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Doha-Qatar. Design and methods: A retrospective study was conducted using electronic medical records to generate patient’s list from clinical immunology laboratory at HMC. Data on 326 patients were collected from 1st January till 31st March, 2017 and used as pilot study after omitting duplications. The data was studied for its demographical, disease categories, C3 and C4 test results. C3 and C4 test cost were calculated inside HMC and compared to other healthcare providers in country and abroad. Results: A total of 326 patients, 148 males and 178 females (M/F ratio:0.8:1), of age (mean age ±SD) of 36 ± 17.6 years. 289(86%) were >15 years and 47(14%) were 15 or less. Kidney diseases (34%), autoimmune diseases (25%), and allergic diseases (18%) were the top 3 diseases, and constituted 77% of all diseases. 45/336 (13.4%) showed low C3, C4, or both. Mean levels of C3 (±SD) was 120.8 ±36.3 mg/dl, and C4 was27.85±11.9 mg/dl. High C3 and C4 levels were observed in 53 (15.7%) of patients. The cost of performing one test either C3 or C4 in HMC is 22 QR ($6), while other healthcare providers inside the country costed 150-300 QR ($41.2-$82.4). Conclusion: Autoimmune diseases, renal diseases and joist diseases were the most common diseases with low C3 and C4 levels. Although the cost of a single test of C3 or C4 is low, the total annual cost is huge. The treating physician is recommended to exercise judicious clinical wisdom when ordering C3 or C4 tests as diagnostic tools

Abstract Human’s motion and its mechanisms had become interesting in the last years, where the medecine’s field search for rehabilitation methods for handicapped persons. Other fields, like sport sciences, professional or military world, search to distinguish profiles and ways to train them with specific purposes. Besides, recent findings in neuroscience try to describe these mechanisms from an organic point of view. Until now, different researchs had given a model about control motor that describes how the union between the senses’s information allows adaptable movements. One of this sense is the proprioception, the sense which has a quite big factor in the orientation and position of the body, its members and joints. For this reason, research for new strategies to explore proprioception and improve the theories of human motion could be done by three different vias. At first, the sense is analysed in a case-study where three groups of persons are compared in a controlled enviroment with three experimental tasks. The subjects belong to each group by the kind of sport they do: sedentary, normal sportsmen (e.g. athletics, swimming) and martial sportmen (e.g. karate, judo). They are compared thinking about the following hypothesis: “Martial Sportmen have a better proprioception than of the other groups’s subjects: It could be due to the type of exercises they do in their sports as empirically, a contact sportsman shows significantly superior motor skills to the members of the other two groups. The second via are records from encephalogram (EEG) while the experimental tasks are doing. These records are analised a posteriori with a set of processing algorithms to extract characteristics about brain’s activity of the proprioception and motion control. Finally , the study tries to integrate graphic tools to make easy to understand final scientific results which allow us to explore the brain activity of the subjects through easy interfaces (e.g. space-time events, activity intensity, connectivity, specific neural netwoks or anormal activity). In the future, this application could be a complement to assist doctors, researchers, sports center specialists and anyone who must improve the health and movements of handicapped persons.
