Self-reflexivity and the Representation of The Indian Diasporic Community in Deepa Mehta’s Bollywood/Hollywood
Authors: Gupta PhD Sangeeta
Published: June 2021

This paper discusses Deepa Mehta’s lighthearted romantic comedy Bollywood/Hollywood as a representation of the Indian diasporic community settled in Canada. What makes this film especially interesting is that it focuses on how, for overseas Indians, Bollywood offers the possibility of accessing the home culture in a globalised world. Bollywood as an industry is synonymous with the genre of family melodrama, and when Mehta uses this term it represents, not just the Bombay Film Industry, but also the cultural iconicity of the genre, which in turn represents the film sensibility of the entire ‘mass’ of Indians located within the country and in the diaspora. At one level, the film is a lighthearted comic portrayal of the Indo-Canadian community in Toronto and its strong connection with “our magnificent Indian culture” (B/H) through the Hindi movies churned out by Bollywood. At a closer look at a number of scenes, light is cast on the way Deepa Mehta emphasizes the cultural divides through interesting narrative and visual constructions. The actual argument of the film emerges in a dialectical reading and recognition of the oppositional forces operating within and without the narrative world. What is particularly striking about this film is its self-reflexivity. It announces itself as a Bollywood melodrama and celebrates this identity. Bollywood is thus positioned as both a subject and an object of contemplation—a world of Cinema that is a part of our memory and a vehicle of history. The critique of the formula also comes from within the formulaic narrative itself. Deepa Mehta constantly uses the genre and also plays around with it in interesting ways

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Vitamin-D has very important role in calcium metabolism and optimum bone health. Vitamin-D is derived from endogenous UVB (Ultraviolet-B) which induces vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Currently very high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in India can be attributed to the lifestyle changes and low sunlight exposure. Identification of the vitamin-D receptor (VDR) in almost every human cells, suggest a role in extra skeletal diseases. Various studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is an independent risk factor for essential hypertension.Aim: To evaluate the association between vitamin D and essential hypertension among people coming for out patient department at a tertiary care centre of Udaipur. Materials and Methods: Study was carried out as a cross sectional study at a tertiary care hospital of Udaipur. Participants (259) were both males and females (134 males and 125 females), between the age group of 20-60 years attending the OPD clinic of our tertiary care hospital. Statistical Analysis: Appropriate Statistical test was done using latest version of SPSS.Results: It is found that severe vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in people with hypertension as compare to people without hypertension (P value <0.001). Conclusion: Since India is a tropical country, it was assumed that vitamin D deficiency and its ill effects are less common. But it is found that, vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent in people with hypertension at Udaipur, attributed to the need of early vitamin D supplementation. Therefore, to reduce cardio-vascular events early identification of vitamin D deficiency and appropriate vitamin D supplement may be of very important in population with high prevalence.

Authors: Nidhi Sharma  , Vartika Saxena  , Manisha Naithani  , Saif Khan
Published: June 2021

Background: Fluorosis is a public health problem caused by excess intake of fluoride through drinking water. Groundwater around the rocks composed of fluoride-rich compounds may have a high concentration of fluoride. Thus, analyzing the geology of the area may serve as a guide for easy surveillance of fluorosis disease. Methods: The geological maps of the district were analyzed to develop a fluoride risk map for the occurrence of fluorosis i.e., the district was divided into three geological categories; high risk, intermediate, and low-risk areas. This map was correlated to the groundwater fluoride levels and prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis in the population of the corresponding area. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a purposive cluster sampling method, a total of 12 villages were selected from the district. Dental fluorosis was recorded in 558 children and 36 groundwater samples of these villages. Results: Fluoride contamination was almost nil (< 0.6ppm) in the areas composed of quartz and limestone which also showed an absence of fluorosis in the dependent population. It was moderate (0.6-1.5ppm) in areas ofaugen gneiss, porphyritic gneiss with mica schist which showed around 59.9% prevalence of fluorosis. Whereas, heavy contamination of fluoride (> 1.5ppm) was seen where granite was the main soil-forming parent rock and around 93% of the related population was affected by fluorosis. Conclusions: This study confirms the positive association between the presence of fluoride-rich rocks around the water source and the prevalence of fluorosis in the population of the area. Based on the finding of this study, geological maps of each district of the state may help in indicating the higher chances of occurrence of fluorosis in the respective districts.

Authors: Sonia Saroha  , Preeti
Published: June 2021

The wrist is an ellipsoidal type (condyloid) of articulation synovial is permitting movements at two axes. The anatomical name of the joint is the radio-carpal joint [1-5].It presents a sinuous opposing. The concave proximal articular surface is formed by the lower end of the radius and the articular disc of the inferior radio-ulnar joint. The reciprocally convex distal articular surface is formed by the scaphoid, lunate and triquetral bones from lateral to the medial side. The joint capsule surrounds the wrist and is attached to the distal ends of the radius and ulna and proximal rows of carpals excluding the pisiform. Strong ligaments strengthen and stabilize the joint from the sides, and on the ventral and dorsal surfaces. Repeated episodes of mechanical stress can cause the event of repetitive motion injuries or overuse injuries, which when including poor posture and biomechanics put much strain on the joints. They usually develop slowly over an extended period of your time. Wrists are one of the foremost common sites of repetitive motion injury. Therefore this research was designed to study the effect of laptop usage among physiotherapists(students and teachers). This study may give awareness to the individual to avoid or minimize the overuse of laptops and therefore the complications by breaking bad habits, practicing recommended/approved posture while using the laptop, and modulating the planning of the keyboards. Due to covid 19 era, the use of laptops and computer has significantly increased among students and teachers of different universities for teaching purposes. Therefore the study was designed to study the impact of laptop use on the wrist in students and Teachers duringcovid 19.Objective: To find the impact of laptop use on the wrist in Physiotherapist during covid 19

Analytical model for determining the leakage albedo component for a direct cylindrical channel passing through the nuclear reactor protective layer
Authors: Kupriyanov Kirill S. , Pereverzentsev Vladimir V.
Published: June 2021

The task of determining the radiation situation, including neutron and gamma-quantum flux density, radiation spectrum, specific volumetric activity of radioactive gases in the air, etc. behind the protective composition having inhomogeneities, has always been important in matters of radiation safety. One of the ways to solve the problem of determining gamma radiation fluxes was to divide the total ionizing radiation flux into four components: line-of-sight (LOS), leakage, line-of-sight albedo, and leakage albedo, and obtain an analytical solution for each component. The first three components have been studied in detail in relation to simple geometries and there are analytical solutions for them, but there is no such a solution for the last component. The authors of this work have derived an analytical representation for the leakage albedo component, which, in contrast to numerical methods (such as Monte Carlo methods), makes it possible to analyze the effect of inhomogeneities in protective compositions on the radiation environment as well as to quickly obtain estimated values of fluxes and dose rates. Performing a component-by-component comparison, it becomes possible to single out the most significant mechanisms of the dose load formation behind the nuclear reactor protection, to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of design solutions in the protection design and to improve the protection at significantly lower computational costs.

Finally, the authors present calculations for the four components of the total ionizing radiation flux for various parameters of the cylindrical inhomogeneity in the reactor protection. Based on the obtained values, conclusions are made about the importance of taking into account the leakage albedo component in the formation of the radiation situation behind the core vessel.

The considered integral experiments are included in the database of evaluated experimental neutronic data used to justify the neutronic performance of sodium and lead cooled fast reactors, to verify codes and nuclear data as well as to estimate uncertainties in neutronic parameters due to the nuclear data uncertainties. It has been shown that the ROSFOND evaluated nuclear data library is a library that minimizes the calculation and experimental discrepancies for the considered set of integral experiments. The paper also presents the results of criticality calculations for models of sodium and lead cooled fast reactors based on different evaluated neutron data libraries and provides estimates for the uncertainty in criticality associated with nuclear data.

Les nouvelles technologies transforment notre société, et par la même occasion, les rôles du contrôleur de gestion (CG). Cette recherche s’intéresse à la manière dont l’arrivée de la Business Intelligence (BI) impacte les rôles du CG. Elle repose sur une recherche-action couvrant une période de 18 mois durant laquelle une entreprise a mis en place un outil BI et commencé à l'utiliser. Nos résultats montrent que la BI constitue à la fois une opportunité et une menace pour le CG qui doit être proactif s’il souhaite maintenir ses rôles et sa place dans l’organisation. Ils montrent également le difficile équilibre à trouver entre un rôle de fiabilisation des données et un rôle de support à la prise de décision dans un contexte BI qui accélère la production d’information.
Intelligent Traffic Signal Monitoring System Using Image Processing
Authors: M. SureshKumar , R. Anu Valliammai
Published: June 2021

This project aims at making an intelligent traffic signal monitoring system that makes decisions based on real-time traffic situations. The choices will be such that the traditional red, green, or amber lighting scheme is focused on the actual number of cars on the road and the arrival of emergency services rather than using pure timing circuits to control car traffic by using what the traffic appears like via smart cameras to capture real-time traffic movement pictures of each direction. The control system will modify the traffic light control parameters dynamically in various directions due to changes in traffic flow, thus increasing the traffic intersection efficiency and ensuring improved traffic management. This work involves performing a traffic management study of the city.
An Unequal Partnership
Authors: Newkirk-Turner Brandi L. , Morris Lekeitha R.
Published: June 2021

This chapter addresses what Rickford referred to as an unequal partnership between researchers and the researched. In this chapter, Rickford's assertion of an unequal partnership within the field of sociolinguistics is extended to the field of communication sciences and disorders (CSD). A summary of the CSD literature on the Black speech community identifies shortcomings, leading the authors to argue that more can be done to equalize the partnership between CSD researchers and the Black speech community. The authors make the case for the establishment of service-in-return as a general principle of CSD research – especially when the researched community is a minority, marginalized, or underserved community. Ideas of ways that researchers can give back to the researched communities are provided. The authors also suggest ways that researchers can foster a sense of civic responsibility in student researchers in order to usher in a new generation of researchers who are more committed than past generations to equalizing the partnership between researchers and researched communities.
Games, Gamification, and eSports Intersections Within Digital and Online Learning
Authors: Dickenson Virginia L.
Published: June 2021

Games and gamification in the field of learning have become two featured topics of interest recently. While these two concepts have been around in different forms and fashion for decades, interest has reached a fever pitch in the last two decades. With the technological maturity of e-learning and the explosive popularity of online video games and eSports, exploring the application of these concepts is critically important, especially in the areas of intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Commercialization has resulted in the terms games and gamification being used interchangeably. The first step in moving forward with research into learning and the concepts of gaming and gamification is to distinguish these two terms, their impacts on learning, and to begin exploring appropriate and innovative applications in learning.
How Do Adolescents Obtain Health Information
Authors: Stars Inese , Rubene Zanda
Published: June 2021

Adolescent health literacy is a promising innovation in health education. This article reports the findings of research in the experience of adolescents in the methods they used in obtaining health information. A phenomenographic research approach was used to understand how adolescents conceptualized health information obtaining. The study examined data provided by 24 adolescents aged 13 to 16 living in Latvia. The data was collected through qualitative interviews. Phenomenographic data analysis uncovered five categories of description by adolescents in the way they perceived health information obtaining: 1. An opportunity to find out “things” regarding health; 2. The use of different sources of information to obtain health information; 3. The use of multimodal texts to obtain health information; 4. A passive method of obtaining information; and 5. An active method of obtaining information. It is important to integrate the experience of adolescents into health education research to develop a deeper understanding of the pedagogical phenomenon and to enhance health education programmes.

Asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants, who are living in RICs, are faced with multiple challenges and vulnerabilities that must be taken into consideration when responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic concerns over increasing cases recorded in the RICs in Greece. The impact of migration on public health is of particular concern to Greek migration policy, as migrants in the country have a completely different epidemiological profile and higher risks to public health due to the poor living conditions in their countries of origin and during their stay. They live mostly in overcrowded reception and identification centers and accommodation centers under deplorable conditions, lack of proper shelter, extremely unhygienic living conditions. The urgent decongestion of the overcrowded RICs and accommodation centers is required to avoid the risk of rapid spread of the infection.
Gamified E-Reading Experiences and Their Impact on Reading Comprehension and Attitude in EFL Classes
Authors: Kaban Aysegul Liman
Published: June 2021

The use of computers and electronic devices for recreational reading and for reading in educational settings has gone up significantly in recent years. Whereas the digital revolution is rapidly changing the world, it is also changing education. This study examined the perceptions of secondary school EFL learners in Turkey of their e-reading experiences based on their gamified electronic reading practices in school and their influence on reading comprehension performance in an EFL class. The findings revealed that the implementation of e-book reading resulted in higher comprehension levels and more positive reading attitudes. Participant students showed a preference for printed books rather than electronic books for leisure due to the sense of ownership that the printed text storybooks offered. However, the results indicate that EFL learners' use of screen reading has the potential to improve students' attitudes towards reading in educational settings.
Exploration of How Appearance Management is used to Improve the Self Esteem by Urban Silver Aged Women in Sri Lanka

Published: June 2021

From 1981 to 2012, within 31 years, the Sri Lankan elderly population has doubled. It is estimated that one in four Sri Lankans will be elderly by the year 2041. One of the mistakes done by marketers is neglecting this group by thinking that they have low income and spend less money. Even though they have less income, they are not in poverty compared to the population under age 34. Silver aged population (age 50+) experience physical and mental changes during this period due to body postures, wrinkles, and changes in hair color and skin tones. Despite the bodily changes associated with aging, previous studies reported that the importance of appearance did not decrease with age, and appearance was more important for women than for men. It is the nature of humans that want to appear as young and beautiful as possible regardless of age. Hence the purpose of this research is to explore how appearance management is used to improve the self-esteem in old age. This research adopted the inductive approach since this research is trying to understand the hidden behaviors and psychological matters of women who are passing the silver age. The population of this study was considered as urban women, over fifty years of age in Sri Lanka and the individual level was used since the researcher asked questions from women individually to discover their behavior. Clothing is a visual representation of the self, women use articles of dress to construct and maintain their appearance, cognitively coherent with groups. Individuals manage appearance to represent their image. Fashion is closely linked to the emotional well-being of women. The women in this research used fashion as both social and symbolic capital to classify themselves concerning perceived social categories such as friends, peers, and their projected future self.

Background:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of middle mesial canal in mandibular first molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials and Methods:

In this descriptive study, a total of 768 radiographs of mandibular first molars, 384 for males and 384 for females, taken at a private radiology center in Isfahan, were assessed for the presence of middle mesial canal based on the gender of the patients. All samples had been prepared by one CBCT machine. The images were evaluated by endodontists and radiologists. Then, the morphology of first molar mesial root canals was assessed by Vertucci classification, and the obtained results were analyzed by SPSS software using a Chi-square test. The comparison was considered statistically significant at P < 0.05.

Results:

Twenty-four samples (3.13%) had a middle mesial canal. The prevalence rates of the middle mesial canal in the females and males were found to be 9 and 15 (2.35% vs. 3.92%), respectively, indicating no statistically significant difference (P = 0.21). Of 24 teeth with middle mesial canal, 17 samples (70.8%) were of Type XII and 7 samples (29.2%) were of Type VIII. There was no statistically significant difference between genders with regard to the prevalence of different types of middle mesial canals (P = 0.19).

Conclusion:

The prevalence of the middle mesial canal was rather low in this study, and it is necessary to detect additional canals in the patients under root canal treatment.
