Schistosomiasis is a major public health problem in Madagascar. The WHO recommends preventive chemotherapy by mass drug administration (MDA) with praziquantel as the primary approach to control Schistosoma mansoni–related morbidity in endemic populations, alongside complementary interventions such as health education. The impact of annual MDA and health education programs was assessed in the hard-to-reach Marolambo district of eastern Madagascar, an area endemic for S. mansoni. Repeated cross-sectional studies undertaken 2015–2019 examined between 300 and 381 school-aged children (aged 5–14 years) annually. The prevalence and infection intensity of S. mansoni were assessed by urine-circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) dipsticks and coproscopy using Kato–Katz (KK) methodologies. After four rounds of annual MDA, a reduction in S. mansoni prevalence was seen in CCA (93.9% in year 1–87.7% in year 5; P = 0.007) and KK (73.9% in year 1–59.4% in year 5; P < 0.0001). The prevalence of heavy-intensity infections roughly halved from 23.7% to 10.1% (P < 0.0001), and the mean intensity of infection fell by 55.0% (480.2–216.3 eggs per gram of feces). A malacological survey found Biomphalaria pfeifferi snail intermediate hosts in multiple water contact sites including rice paddies, streams, and Nosivolo River. Despite reductions in infection prevalence and intensity, schistosomiasis still poses a significant public health challenge in Marolambo district. Twice yearly MDA cycles and/or community-wide MDA are suggested to better reduce infections. Expanding health education, improving standards of water, sanitation and hygiene, and attention on snail-related control will also be important, especially in rice paddy irrigated areas.

Research on optimal takeoff positions of UAV integrated GNSS - RTK in producing large scale topological maps for open - pit mines
Authors: Le Canh Van , Cao Cuong Xuan , Le Ha Thu Thi ,   Faculty of Geomatics and Land Administration, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Vietnam
Published: March 2021

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are widely used for establishing large scale topological maps. Recently, drones have been integrated with high-quality GNSS receivers which allows real time kinematic positioning (RTK), so are called UAV/RTK. This technology is beneficial to surveyors as they do not need to establish many ground control points in mapping such a complex terrain as open-pit mines. DJI Phantom 4 RTK (P4K) is a UAV/RTK which is of much interest due to its small size and low cost. For open-pit mines, the takeoff position of P4K needs to be seriously considered because of its influence on the accuracy of the digital surface model (DSM) and safety of survey flights. This article presents the method of determining the optimal takeoff positions for UAV in large scale mapping for open pit mines. To evaluate this method, a site of steep and rugged terrain with an area of 80 hectares at the Coc Sau coal mine was chosen as the study area. The results indicate that two optimal locations with altitudes of +50 m and +160 m could be used for taking off the P4K. The accuracy of DSM generated from UAV images using the optimal positions satisfied the accuracy requirement of large scale topological maps at the deepest area of the mine (the altitude of -60 m).

This study uses the mathematical method of two-factors rotatable central compositional planning to predict and simulate the effect of the ratio of water-cement (N/X) and sand - binder (C/CKD) as the input parameters on the objective functions of the spreading flow of concrete mixtures and the compressive strength of fine-grained high-performence concrete (FGHPC) at 28 days. Results of the study showed that, from the material source in Vietnam, it is possible to FGHPC with a flow of 18.5 cm in the mini cone, its compressive and flexural strengths at the age of 28 days are 68.5 MPa and 6.13 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, from the obtained objective functions, it has been shown that the both two-input parameters have a significant influence on the values of the experimental models. Particularly, using Matlab software is showed the expression surface, the contour line of the experimental models, and determined the maximum value of compressive strength of FGHPC at this age of 69.84 MPa at N/X=0.326 and C/CKD=1.315. The contribution of this study is to obtain regression functions to predict the mechanical-physical properties of FGHPC that will be used in the next in-depth studies.

From this qualitative study, it was possible to find that my interests along with the methods of interpretations I practice in the field of multicultural music are influenced by and formulated through my appreciation and understandings of and beliefs gained from education. Most importantly, they are shaped by the social context, cultural placing, and life experiences.
The Relationship of Researcher and Participant in Qualitative Inquiry: From “Self and Other” Binaries to the Poststructural Feminist Perspective of Subjectivity
Authors: Varga-Dobai Kinga
Published: March 2021

Whether approached from a positivist perspective or a more comprehensive postpositivist theoretical and philosophical grounding, the relationship between researcher and participant entails the strong binary opposition of the I-Thou (Buber, 1971) or Self and Other (Bhabha, 2004) within which I or Self is associated with the researcher and Thou or Other represents the research subject. The goal of this paper is to offer an overview of the various theoretical and ethodological approaches to the researcher-participant relationship in qualitative research. The author will first explore how traditional qualitative and emancipatory feminist research have addressed this issue, then she will investigate how poststructural feminists such as Butler (1992), Lather (1991), Pillow (2003), St. Pierre (2000), and Spivak (1993), as well as Wisweswaran (1994), mainly through the use of the notion of subjectivity and voice, stepped into the debate and explored the researcher-participant relationship from a poststructuralist perspective.

Self-regulation of a Chiropractic Association through Participatory Action Research
Authors: Sheppard Lorraine , Jorgensen Anna Maria , Crowe Michael
Published: March 2021

Participatory action research (PAR) can be used in the health professions to redefine their roles. This study investigated a small health professional group, the members of The Chiropractic Association Singapore (TCAS), by using a PAR method; researchers and participants gained insights into the self-regulation of a health profession. A qualitative process using a theory-building approach and an action component was a practical way of developing self-regulation in a small professional group. This approach bridged the gap between practice and research with TCAS members fully engaged in the process of being critically reflective of their future roles in the local health care market.
Practicing the Four Seasons of Ethnography Methodology while Searching for Identity in Mexico
Authors: Pitts Margaret
Published: March 2021

This narrative is an account of my field experiences and challenges practicing González’s (2000) Four Seasons of Ethnography methodology in Mexico City. I describe the complexities and tensions inherent in managing two scientific paradigms: Western scientific logic vs. a more organic ontology. The experiential knowledge produced in this text is useful to ethnographers who face questions of identity and ethics in the field. To evoke a sense of experience, I represent the ethnography for the reader in the way it unfolded for me—sometimes painful, other times insightful, oftentimes both. This dual text exposes my struggles as emergent ethnographer grappling with issues of voice, identity, and representation while describing scenes from life in Mexico drawn from observations and narrative interviews. At the forefront of this text are the methodological choices and ontological experiences of the Four Seasons of Ethnography methodology, while observations and conversations in Mexico City form the backdrop.
A Review of Rufus Stone: The Promise of Arts-Based Research
Authors: Leavy Patricia
Published: March 2021

In this essay I review the research-informed short film Rufus Stone. Rufus Stone is the result of a 3-year funded research project led by Kip Jones. The film tells the story of a young man in rural England who, while developing an attraction to another young man, is viciously outed by small-minded village people. He flees to London and returns home 50 years later and is forced confront the people from his past and larger issues of identity and time. This essay considers Rufus Stone as both a film and as a work of arts-based research. I suggest Rufus Stone is not only a terrific film but it also represents the best of arts-based research and public scholarship more broadly.
From “Bitch” to “Mentor”: A Doctoral Student’s Story of Self-Change and Mentoring
Authors: Gearity Brian , Mertz Norma
Published: March 2021

For several reasons, the process of writing and completing the doctoral dissertation has been identified as the most frequent road block for many promising scholars. The goal of this study is to help improve doctoral student dissertation completion by focusing on the crucial, central concerns of effective student writing, faculty mentoring, and the student-advisor relationship. Using an experimental, evocative autoethnographic approach, the following study shows the struggles and successes of a doctoral student managing himself, the university, “life”, and most importantly, his doctoral dissertation chair. The findings weave together strategies from storytelling (e.g., plot, characters, and scene) with the personal experiences of a doctoral student and advisor to show a highly contextual narrative and the influence of multiple factors. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate the value of situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991) as an approach to help students learn to write. Lastly, as a pedagogical tool, the narrative itself may be of practical value to graduate students, dissertation chairs, and policymakers for the purpose of improving graduate student success.

Authors: Ho Zoe
Published: March 2021

In this study the researcher uses a qualitative research design to discover what makes hotel expatriates remain in their overseas assignments. In-depth interviews, participant observations, and personal documents are used as data collection methods. Four hotel expatriates are recruited as participants of the study. The collected interview transcripts and fieldnotes are further analyzed through the use of grounded theory. Five selective codes found as the dominant themes in this study are hotel expatriates’ : (a) personality characteristics, (b) motivations to work overseas, (c) challenges derived from overseas assignments, (d) competencies, and (e) roles/identities in overseas assignments. These five main themes are further analyzed and concluded with a coherent theory that explains why hotel expatriates remain in their assignments.
A Novel Method of Enhancing Grounded Theory Memos with Voice Recording
Authors: Stocker Rachel , Close Helen
Published: March 2021

In this article the authors present the recent discovery of a novel method of supplementing written grounded theory memos with voice recording, the combination of which may provide significant analytical advantages over solely the traditional written method. Memo writing is an essential component of a grounded theory study, however it is often difficult to capture thoughts, feelings, and emerging theorising using written methods after a research interview. I found that many of these potentially valuable ide as were lost or misunderstood upon reading my subsequent written memo, and the feelings and context which influenced the emerging theory were not always clear. I turned to voice recording to enhance my grounded theory memos and soon discovered substantial additional benefits upon listening back. This novel method, the cognitively different ways in which human brains process verbal and written information, and the ultimate benefits I have enjoyed by combining writing and voice recording memos are presented.

Authors: MIRGHADIM S. M. SAADAT , NIKMEHR M. J. , NIKANDISH R.
Published: March 2021

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. The co-annihilating-ideal graph of R, denoted by AR, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of all non-zero proper ideals of R and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent whenever Ann(I) ∩ Ann(J) = (0). In this paper, we characterize all Artinian rings for which both of the graphs AR and AR (the complement of AR), are chordal. Moreover, all Artinian rings whose AR (and thus AR) is perfect are characterized.

Authors: Lászlop Ádám
Published: March 2021

Internet of Things (IoT) could prove significantly potential in precision farming, facilitating the acquisition of real-time crop’s, soil, and environmental data through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with their capabilities to capture high spatial and temporal resolution imagery. The effective deployment of such vehicles and linking them with on-farm sensors can transform agriculture that would allow it to move into the next era of agriculture. The Precise data collection can enable small and middle-size growers to make planting decisions well ahead of time and follow the cultural practices based on the model extracted from the data collected for the multiple factors from their farm locations. This data can significantly help farmers while making quick decisions, reducing agricultural inputs costs such as seeds, insecticides, and fertilizers, and can boost agricultural production. We will also look into different roles that UAVs can perform in precision farming and their limitations in line with recent EU Directives (EU) 2019/947 and (EU) 2019/945 on the rules and procedures for the operation of Unmanned Aircraft in the European Union air space. We will also review the entire range of precision farming practices that can help farmers taking full advantage of the available technology for automating farming practices that save their time and money with accuracy, effectively.

Apologétique et protestation de la conscience chrétienne
Authors: Chalamet Christophe
Published: March 2021

À partir de 1928, Marc Boegner a donné avec une très grande régularité des Conférences de Carême à Passy sur divers thèmes théologiques et religieux. Radiodiffusées et publiées sous la forme d’ouvrages, ces conférences nous donnent accès au cœur de la pensée de l’un des principaux chefs de file du protestantisme français au milieu du XXe siècle. De l’étude de ces textes ressortent nettement l’intention apologétique qui motivait ces prises de parole ainsi que leur audace œcuménique, à une époque où le dialogue avec le catholicisme-romain et le christianisme oriental ou orthodoxe était balbutiant. Marqué par son oncle Tommy Fallot comme par le Père Laberthonnière, Boegner appelle ses auditeurs et ses lecteurs, dans un contexte où les totalitarismes communiste et fasciste fascinaient un nombre croissant d’hommes et de femmes, à ne pas se laisser aveugler par ce type d’idolâtrie et à incarner les « solidarités voulues de Dieu ».
Marc Boegner, ou de la figure du chef en protestantisme français, particulièrement au cours des années 1940
Authors: Cabanel Patrick
Published: March 2021

Marc Boegner a présidé à partir des années 1930 presque tout ce qui était à présider dans les instances du protestantisme français, dont la Fédération protestante et l’Église réformée récemment réunifiée. Il l’a fait de manière parfaitement démocratique, quoique avec une appétence et une durée qui requièrent l’analyse. Boegner a bien compris une époque marquée par le désir d’autorité. L’article revient sur son rôle important et complexe dans les années 1940 et sur son choix d’une Église non « confessante » et de négociations feutrées (mais vaines) avec Vichy, et discrètes mais fécondes avec Berne.

Dijital sanat, çağdaş sanat ile bütünleşirken yaratıcılık sürecinde temel birçok değişiklik ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu bağlamda yeni sanat tarzları türemeye devam etmiş ve sanat deneyimi açısından müzelerde, galerilerde ve internet ortamında devrim niteliğinde bir değişim gerçekleşmiştir. Bir dijital sergi küratörü olarak bu devrimin bir parçası olduğumdan geleneksel, çağdaş ve dijital sergi küratörlüğündeki geçmiş, bugün ve gelecekte yaşanabilecek gelişmeler ile ilgili deneyimlerimi ve düşüncelerimi paylaşacağım. Dijital sanat, 1960'ların sonuna damga vurmuş birçok sergi sonrasında Ars Electronica, ISEA, New York Dijital Galeri ve ZKM gibi uluslararası kuruluşlarda ilk kez boy göstermiştir. 1990'ların ortalarında World Wide Web’in (WWW) gelişimi dijital sanatın ihtiyacı olan ek ivmeyi kazandırmıştır. Artık sanatçılar, geleneksel sanat alanları dışına çıkıp web siteleri aracılığıyla dünya çapında bir izleyici kitlesine ulaşabilmektedir. Ayrıca İnternet, sanat deneyimini galerilerin ve müzelerin ötesinde evlere, okullara ve taşınabilir cihazlara kadar genişletmiştir. Bu bağlamda 2001 yılı, 1968 yılına Whitney Amerikan Sanat Müzesi'nde BitStreams ve Data Dynamics (Veri Dinamikleri) ile katılırken; San Francisco Modern Sanat Müzesi'nde 010101 ile dijital sanat kapsamında kayda değer bir müze teşhiri olarak unutulmayacak bir yıl olarak eklenmiştir. Geçen son on yılın sonunda dijital sanatın, çağdaş sanatı yeniden şekillendirmekle birlikte bu yeni sanat tarzıyla tanışan müze uzmanlarına yeni zorluklar da çıkarmış olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Gelecekte ise dijital sanatın çağdaş sanatla iç içe geçmesinin devam edeceğine tanıklık etmemiz oldukça olasıdır. VR (Sanal Gerçeklik) ve Artırılmış Gerçeklik kullanarak yeni sergileme ve yaratıcı kendini ifade etme yolları, yeni fakat henüz keşfedilmemiş yeni teknolojiler, günlük yaşamlarımızı ve sanat deneyimlerimize ilham vermeye devam ederek geliştirilecektir. Bu kapsamda ele alınan bu makale de dijital sergi küratörlüğünün son yirmi beş yıl içindeki evrimini inceleyecektir.
INFLUENCE OF GENDER AND RELIGION ON THE EXAMINATION STRESS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA
Authors: Adegboro Joseph , Ajayi N
Published: March 2021

Background: Stress can raise the blood pressure of a subject and a number of environmental factors can change that level of the stress, especially the examination stress. These factors which include gender and religion are referred to as modifiers of stress.

Objective: This study was therefore designed, using data of blood pressure, to understand the influence of religion and gender on the effect of examination stress on blood pressure of the secondary school students in South Western (SW) Nigeria.

Methodology: The population of the study comprises all the students of Oroke Grammar School, Akungba Akoko (650) out of which a sample of 351 that satisfied our criteria was selected, using purposive sampling technique. Digital sphygmomanometer was used to measure the actual blood pressure readings of the respondents twice on each occasion and with at least thirty minutes interval in sitting positions. The measurements were carried out three times during the study, two weeks after resumption for the second term of the 2017/2018 academic year, two weeks before the second term examination and two weeks after resumption for the third term.

Results: In this work, a rule of thumb was used to connect the perceived stress (PS) and the % change in the systolic blood pressure (SBP) when a subject is stressed, as PS=100/(% change in SBP). The results show that the group of female students in the general population always feels more stressed than their male counterpart, and respectively in the Islam religion and in the Christian religion always feels more stressed than their respective male counterparts. Also the groups of male and the female students in the Islam religion always feel more stressed than their groups of male and female students in the Christian religion

Conclusion: Gender and religion were found to affect the level of perceived stress of the students. It was recommended that male students should be encouraged to go for regular blood pressure checkups as they are more likely not to feel stressed even when their blood pressure has increased much above the normal. This is one of the measurements the health personnel should do whenever a male student in particular is in the health centre. Because the number of Christian students in this work is much larger than the number of Muslim students, more research is needed with comparable number of students in each religious group to further understand how religious practices play a role in perceived stress of college students. Future research should include more variables that influence coping methods and parental influence and guidance.
The Clash of Civilizations in the Syrian Crisis: Migration and Terrorism
Authors: Taylor Jonah
Published: March 2021

The Syrian crisis can be the beginning of a new civilization conflict. Ethnic and religious pluralism is clearly evident in this country; Muslims: Sunnis, Duroz, Alawites, Shiites, and Ismailis; Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Maronites, Protestants, and Turkmen and Kurdish ethnic minorities. The Syrian crisis in 2011 appeared to be protesting against the ruling elite (Alawi). Due to the presence of various cultures and religions, it seems that this will make the Syrian crisis a prelude to a renewed clash of civilizations. The present research seeks to answer these questions: What are the basic propositions of the theory of the clash of civilizations and how is it represented in the Syrian crisis? Since according to Samuel Huntington, the foundation of civilizations, religious and cultural backgrounds, and cultural and religious identities are the main source of the clash of civilizations; Therefore, the war on terrorism, the Syrian crisis, the emergence of ISIL and the presence of the US military and international interventions, the competition of regional and trans-national powers, is express the clash of civilizations.

Lebanon is a country with a mosaic structure, with numerous factors contributing to this structure, including religion, religion, ethnicity, group, multiple culture, and the existence of numerous parties, which would be a coincidence in democratization as well as domestic, regional and international tensions. In other words, it has both negative and positive sides, the negative side is the reduction of domestic power and the loss of capacity, and the positive sign is the emergence of groups, parties and movements that can have a large-scale management capability in Lebanon.In the meantime, Hezbollah can be considered as a strong and active activist in the country, calling for pragmatic tendencies in political power. This movement has shown that it can both strengthen the military and social and political realms. The question is: How did Hezbollah affect Lebanon's political structure during 2006-2018? It seems that Hezbollah has played an effective role in the political structure of Lebanon from 2006 to 2018, through democratic participation in power gaining power. The research method in this article is descriptive-analytical and the method of compilation is documentary and library.

O uso público em unidades de conservação (UC) pode trazer inúmeros benefícios diretos e indiretos à sociedade, além de representar um grande potencial para incrementar os recursos econômicos das UCs, aproximar a sociedade da natureza e fomentar sua conservação e utilização sustentável. Desta forma, tem se tornado num dos temas mais importantes no que se refere à gestão de áreas protegidas no país. Uma das principais contribuições para a discussão desse tema tem surgido nas instituições de ensino superior, que têm agido fortemente para a construção de uma cultura de valorização dessas áreas protegidas. O Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), através do seu Campus Porto Alegre, tem desenvolvido inúmeras ações neste sentido, sendo que recentemente, a partir da iniciativa de estudantes, estabeleceu um programa de extensão voltado ao fortalecimento do uso público ordenado em unidades de conservação, o GAUPUC. Inicialmente utilizando a metodologia de um grupo de estudos, na atualidade o coletivo desenvolve ações de extensão direcionadas aos principais atores envolvidos no uso público de UCs: os gestores das áreas naturais, os prestadores de serviços que estão associados à visitação e os visitantes. Neste ano, em função da pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-COVID, o grupo desenvolveu apenas ações remotas, entre as quais um ciclo de webconferências sobre uso público em UCs e um projeto de divulgação científica nas redes sociais. As reflexões realizadas em relação à trajetória do grupo evidenciam que as atividades práticas desempenharam um papel fundamental na geração de interesse dos estudantes pelo grupo, assim como a autonomia deles na realização das tarefas é um princípio que estimula a sua continuidade no coletivo. Os próximos passos do Programa apontam para a necessidade do estabelecimento de parcerias institucionais com as UCs, visando ações articuladas em programas de voluntariado.

Published: March 2021

As unidades de conservação são de extrema importância para a preservação da biodiversidade, regidas pelo Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação. A segunda temporada do vídeo-documentário “Mar Sem Fim” foi uma produção audiovisual nacional que contextualizou a realidade de tais territórios na costa litorânea do país.  O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os aspectos discursivos do episódio 33 deste vídeo-documentário, que trata sobre a Reserva Extrativista de Canavieiras, na Bahia. Tais discursos foram analisados a luz dos processos de mobilização social, considerando as temáticas do conservacionismo, do uso público e da governança. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e caráter exploratório adotou a análise de conteúdo (Bardin, 1977) para compreensão dos discursos identificados no vídeo-documentário, que foram contextualizados com publicações científicas e documentos técnicos. A partir das temáticas elencadas, os discursos identificados na análise do vídeo-documentário evidenciam a importância do protagonismo feminino no contexto de criação desta área protegida bem como interesses relacionados a especulação imobiliária e práticas de carcinicultura que geram conflitos territoriais posto a falta de apoio governamental às comunidades tradicionais. Conclui-se que o vídeo-documentário pode ser uma potencial ferramenta educativa para o desenvolvimento de atividades voltadas à Educação Ambiental, com o intuito de instigar possíveis diálogos
