Childhood and colonial modernity in Egypt
\"The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were pivotal in contemporary Egyptian history. The country searched for an identity in the face of intensifying western imperialism, the emerging nation-state, changing gender roles, and a rising middle class. A new cultural conception of childhood emerged in Egypt that had a synergistic and synonymous relationship with this process of modernization. Modernization cannot be separated from reconceptualization of categories of age. This book examines the transformations of Egyptian childhoods that occurred across gender, class, and rural/urban divides. It also questions the role of nostalgia and representation of childhood in illuminating key underlying political, social, and cultural developments in Egypt. The book uses unexplored Arabic sources such as the children's press and literature; as well as more familiar Arabic sources, such as autobiographies and the writings of Egyptian intellectuals--whose discussion of childhood has been so far ignored\"--Provided by publisher.

A Standardized Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test After Sport-Related Concussion in Youth: Do ActiGraph Algorithms Matter?
Current guidelines for recovery after sport-related concussion (SRC) recommend 24 to 48 hours of rest, followed by a gradual return to activity with heart rate (HR) maintained below the symptom threshold. In addition, monitoring physical activity (PA) after SRC using ActiGraph accelerometers can provide further objective insight into the amounts of activity associated with recovery trajectories. Cutpoint algorithms for these devices allow minute-by-minute PA to be classified into intensity domains; however, researchers have shown that different algorithms used to evaluate the same healthy participant dataset can produce various classifications.
To identify the more physiologically appropriate cutpoint algorithm (Evenson or Romanzini) to analyze ActiGraph data among concussed adolescents in comparison with their HR responses on the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT).
Prospective cohort study.
University sport concussion clinic.
Eleven high school students (5 boys, 6 girls; median [range] age = 16 years [15-17 years], height = 177.8 cm [157.5-198.1 cm], mass = 67 kg [52-98 kg], body mass index = 22 [17-31]) involved in high-risk sports who sustained a physician-diagnosed SRC.
Evenson and Romanzini algorithm PA intensity domains via ActiGraph data and HR during the BCTT.
We observed differences in PA time classified as moderate (
= .003) and vigorous (
= .004) intensities between algorithms but no difference in PA time classified as light intensity (
= .48). The Evenson algorithm classified most of the time as moderate-intensity PA (mean = 57.03%, range = 0.00%-94.12%), whereas the Romanzini algorithm classified virtually all PA as vigorous intensity (mean = 88.25%, range = 2.94%-97.06%]). Physical activity based on HR (stages 1-7 = 20%-39% HR reserve [HRR], stages 8-13 = 40%-59% HRR, stages ≥14 = 60%-85% HRR) indicated the BCTT primarily involved light to moderate intensity and, therefore, was better represented by the Evenson algorithm.
The Evenson algorithm better characterized the HR response during a standardized exercise test in concussed individuals and, thus, should be used to analyze ActiGraph PA data in pediatric populations with concussion.

On the Pedagogy of “Boomerangs”
This article explores the pedagogical takeaways of a faculty led study-tour with U.S. university students in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. It offers examples of how to teach students first-hand about settler colonialism, neoliberalism, securitization, and racialization. We examine how theories of co-implication and bearing witness can encourage students to take part in transnational solidarity work.

Narrating Death, Surviving Life: Memory and Palestinian Mothers Who Lost Their Children in the Second Intifada
The cause of Palestinian children’s deaths in the second intifada (2000-2006) is a matter of dispute in the memory of some Palestinians and Israelis today. Mainstream Israeli media and political narratives often say that the Palestinian parents sacrificed their children in the name of religion. Some of this misunderstanding comes in response to the Palestinian mothers who memorialize their sons’ death as beautiful and an act of strength. However, a reading of the mothers’ narratives that is grounded in memory studies and contemporary Palestinian history disrupts the notion the Palestinians embrace ‘an industry of death.’ The mothers recall the death as an honorable sacrifice for Palestine to not only find individual solace from a traumatic past, but also to share in a collective narrative with national meanings. This paper uses oral histories to explore the politics of individual and collective memory in Palestine today.

A Standardized Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test Following Sport-Related Concussion in Youth: Do ActiGraph Algorithms Matter?
Context: Current recovery guidelines following sport-related concussion (SRC) include 24–48 hours of rest followed by gradual return-to-activity with heart rate (HR) maintained below symptom threshold. Additionally, the monitoring of physical activity (PA) post-SRC using ActiGraph accelerometers can provide further objective insight on amounts of activity associated with recovery trajectories. Cut-point algorithms for these devices allow minute-by-minute PA to be classified into intensity domains; however, studies have shown different algorithms employed on the same healthy participant dataset can produce varying classifications.Objective: To identify the most physiologically appropriate cut-point algorithm (Evenson or Romanzini) to analyze ActiGraph data in concussed youth with comparisons to HR response on the Buffalo Concussion Treadmill Test (BCTT).Design: Prospective cohort study.Setting: Sport-concussion clinic within a university setting.Patients or Other Participants: Eleven high-school students (5 male, 6 female; median [range] age =16 years [15–17], height = 177.8 cm [157.5–198.1], weight = 67 kg [52–98], body mass index = 22 kg/m2 [17–31]) involved in high-risk sport who sustained a physician diagnosed SRC.Main Outcome Measure(s): Evenson and Romanzini algorithm PA intensity domains via ActiGraph data and HR during the BCTT.Results: There were differences in moderate (P = .001) and vigorous (P = .002) intensities between algorithms, but no difference in light (P = .548). Evenson classified most of the time as moderate intensity (57.03% [0.00–94.12%]), whereas Romanzini classified virtually all PA as vigorous (88.25% [2.94–97.06%]). PA based on HR (stages 1–7: 20–39% HR reserve (HRR), stages 8–13: 40–59% HRR, stages 14 and above: 60–85% HRR) indicated the BCTT primarily involves light-to-moderate intensity, and therefore is better represented by the Evenson algorithm.Conclusions: The Evenson algorithm better characterizes the HR response during a standardized exercise test in concussed individuals and therefore should be used to analyze ActiGraph PA data in a concussed paediatric population.

Unspoken Dreams
During the period from 1900 to 1950, the production and deployment of photographic images of the Egyptian child by Egyptian adults played a role in nationalism, a role as yet unstudied by historians of Egypt or of photography. The studio portrait selected here represents the commonly produced genre of photographs that showed Egyptian children as technologically capable and possessing Western symbols of progress. This picture of two girls and one boy surrounding an adult man's bike—whose wheels are larger than the smallest child and on whose seat seems to be placed the decorative vase of flowers in the backdrop—suggests that the children are present in the living room not to ride the bike but rather to show off their possession of a modern means of transportation (and perhaps to learn about it from the books resting on the bike's rear rack).
