Forensic Bitemark Evidence in Canada
Authors: Chin Jason , White D'Arcy
Published: February 2019

Recent reviews by peak scientific bodies have concluded that forensic bitemark identification is not a demonstrably valid science. In the United States, the practice of forensic bitemark identification has been linked to at least 14 wrongful convictions and has been the subject of considerable academic study. Much less is known about the use of forensic bitemark identification in Canadian courts. To remedy this lack of knowledge, we performed an exhaustive search of the reported Canadian case law. We found 14 cases in which courts relied on a forensic bitemark identification, a number that likely underestimates the use of this practice. Still, in the cases we found, forensic bitemark experts overstated the accuracy and reliability of their practice, and did not appear to disclose the considerable controversy in the field. Furthermore, and despite repeated directions from the Supreme Court of Canada that trial judges should exercise a robust gatekeeper role in the face of invalid science, none of the courts excluded bite mark analysis, nor expressly questioned the scientific validity of the practice. We discuss these findings and provide recommendations based on the principle of transparency.
The Relationship of Spiritual Coping with Resilience and Perceived Stress: Validation of the Dutch Spiritual Coping Questionnaire
Authors: Jans-Beken Lilian
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study is to translate and validate the Spiritual Coping Questionnaire (SCQ) in Dutch, compare this questionnaire with a religious coping questionnaire, and assess levels of religious and spiritual coping in association to resilience and perceived stress because these are important determinants in mental health issues. The Dutch-speaking respondents (N = 651, Mage = 45, SDage = 14, Range = 18 - 80) answered the SCQ, Brief RCOPE, Perceived Stress Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale. Validation of the SCQ showed that it is a reliable and valid questionnaire to assess positive and negative spiritual coping in Dutch-speaking individuals. Although the positive and negative religious coping scales are associated with positive and negative spiritual coping questionnaires, religious coping was not predictive of perceived stress or resilience. Multiple regression analyses demonstrate that positive spiritual coping is associated with lower perceived stress and higher resilience levels; negative spiritual coping is associated with higher perceived stress and lower resilience levels in Dutch-speaking individuals. The outcome of this study is that the SCQ-nl is a valid and reliable measure to assess positive and negative spiritual coping in scientific psychological research and in a descriptive manner in clinical practice.
Party Panel: the architecture of a semi-panel study to flexibly map determinants of nightlife risk behaviors and inform prevention efforts
Authors: Peters Gjalt - Jorn Ygram , Noijen Judith
Published: February 2019

Like other forms of recreation. nightlife participation has numerous benefits but also entails a number of risks. This justifies prevention efforts to reduce the associated harms, and to be effective, such prevention efforts need to be based in theory and evidence. Party Panel is an annual semi-panel study among Dutch nightlife patrons where each year, the determinants of a different nightlife-related risk behavior are studied. The data on these determinants and sub-determinants are then analysed using confidence-interval based estimation of relevance (CIBER) plots and reported back to prevention workers to make this evidence available to inform intervention development, and data and other resources are made publicly available. In this manuscript, the design of this study is presented. The discussed workflow can help enhance the quality and thereby effectiveness of prevention efforts. As all materials are public, this workflow can feasibly be adapted to other countries.
From Moral Ambivalence to Differential Congruence: Understanding Transnational Sexuality Using Cultural Schemas
Authors: Ghosh Apoorva
Published: February 2019

Through in-depth interviews, this study aimed to show how lesbians and gay men in India may construct their sexuality as a result of being globally connected through accessing "transnational pathways," such as the global mass media, diasporic experiences, and transnational workplaces. This study indicates that these pathways aid in the interaction between externally derived sexual schemas and pre-existing sexual schemas, which may in turn lead to a configuration of "differential congruence" whereby competing sexual schemas may coexist rather than fuse or replace each other in an individual's life, albeit in different spheres.
Cruel optimism in edtech: When the digital data practices of educational technology providers inadvertently hinder educational equity
Authors: Macgilchrist Felicitas
Published: February 2019

As digital data become increasingly central to education, hopes for educational equity are pinned more strongly on educational technology providers. This paper examines the data practices of edtech providers who are not simply making token gestures towards justice and equality. Drawing on ethnographic interviews and Berlant’s notion of cruel optimism, it presents three data stories: (i) generating data to close the achievement gap, (ii) protecting data to ensure student privacy and (iii) using data to expose inequities. The paper suggests that datafication in education provides a showcase of cruel optimism, i.e., when the object of desire is blocking one’s flourishing. The conclusion considers the constitutive paradoxes of datafied education, and implications for education in the current phase of edu-technical transformation.
The Sustainability of Social Science Survey Infrastructures
Authors: Emery Tom
Published: February 2019

Social science surveys are undergoing rapidchange due to fundamental shifts in the way data is generated, collected and processed. In order to address this challenge, several large scale social surveys have been integrated into the European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). This has allowed them to develop specialized and professionalized survey work flows within an integrated infrastructural context. This allows for greater sustainability through investment in survey methodologies and data collection which advance the field of social science. This paper examines three case studies within the ESFRI framework; The Survey of Health & Retirement (SHARE) and the European Social Survey (ESS) are European Research Infrastructure Consortia and are both landmarks within the ESFRI landscape. The third case study is of the Generations & Gender Programme which is an Emerging Community in the ESFRI landscape. The three case studies are used to illustrate the developments but also the persistent challenges for social surveys as they evolve with the framework of European Research Infrastructures. Each survey infrastructure is presented and it’s scientific, financial and governance sustainability. Conclusions are drawn as to the sustainability of survey infrastructures and how they could be further improved.

Authors: Gusmida Rifqa , Islami Nur
Published: February 2019

For senior high school students, learning concepts in physics is increasingly more difficult when the topic is abstract and cannot be seen with the unaided eye. The research here utilized augmented reality technology and instructional design following the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation) to develop learning media for physics, specifically the kinetic theory of gases. Preliminary analysis was conducted in a senior high school to evaluate the challenges students face when learning physics. The design of the media was based on addressing problems that the students were having. Augmented reality technology was then utilized and the implementation aimed to incorporate the physics concepts into the product. The media was evaluated by six experts. Finally, the learning media presented real-time 3D animation of gas kinetic theory with three basic competencies relevant to the topic. In the final validation, the results indicated that the developed learning media had a validity value of 3.55 out of four-point scale and good quality outcomes. As such, the developed media regarding the kinetic theory of gases is valid and effective for the process of learning and teaching. It is ready to be tested and used in actual learning environments.

Authors: Satyal Biswas , Poudel Abhishek
Published: February 2019

Introduction: Arm span and hand length can be used for the estimation of an individual stature. Arm span, hand length, foot length, head circumference etc. have been proved to be useful to correctly estimate the height of a person. It can be useful in various medico legal purposes. Objectives: The present study was undertaken to find the correlation between the arm-span and hand length with the standing height of both males and females and to derive regression equations for estimation of their height.

Materials and Method: This cross sectional type of descriptive study was carried out with a total number of 200 Nepalese medical students consisting of 120 male and 80 female aged between 18 to 24 years. Stature, arm span and hand length were measured directly from the subjects by using anthropometric technique by a measuring tape and a spreading caliper. The data taken were statistically analyzed by computation. The relationship between body height, arm span and hand length were determined using simple correlation coefficients.

Result and Conclusion: In this study, the correlation between the arm-span and hand length with the standing height of both males and females was found to be an accurate predictor of the height and regression formulae were derived for calculating the height of male or female with the arm-span and hand length.

Analysis of ground deformation based on GPS in Sanshandao gold mine, China
Authors: Ma Fengshan , Gu Hongyu , Guo Jie , Lu Rong
Published: February 2019

Sanshandao Gold Mine is the first and largest mine operating below sea level in China. Mining has been practiced in this region for at least 25 years. In recent years, buildings above the mining area have been extensively damaged. GPS (with 315 monitoring points) was used to monitor the ground deformation since 2009. Ground deformation induced by mining is much more complex in metal mine than that in coal mines due to the well-developed joints, high tectonic stress and several intersecting faults. All of the factors are analyzed in this study. The results show that discontinuous deformation has occurred on the surface because of the sliding to F3 (name of fault), and there are two motion patterns of F3 during the mining process. Additionally, joints in rock masses with steep dip angles contribute to the vertical displacement and joints with shallow dip angles contribute to the horizontal displacement. Meanwhile, high tectonic stress dramatically enlarges the scale of ground deformation, especially with respect to the horizontal displacement. This deformation results in a striped formation of compressed and stretched regions. Additionally, high-risk and potential risk areas are identified in this study. Finally, the successive data measured since 2009 can contribute to a deeper understanding of ground deformation in metal mine.
Geophysical study on moraine dam of Imja Glacial Lake in Eastern Nepal using Electrical Resistivity Tomography Method
Authors: Dahal Pushpa Raj , Paudyal Kabi Raj , Rajaure Sudhir
Published: February 2019

Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) is one of the potential disaster of Nepal. The Imja glacial lake is considered as one of the fastest growing glacial lake with high risk of GLOF. The internal structure of moraine dams, especially the distribution of buried ice blocks and permafrost materials is key factors in assessing GLOF risk. This study covers exploration and assessment of subsurface conditions of the moraine material such as quantification of buried ice, seepage channel and permafrost material distribution. The geophysical study of dam was carried out by using Dipole–dipole array of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) method. This study presents the results regarding use of electrical resistivity survey for assessment of the subsurface buried glacier ice and permafrost zones within the dam of the Imja glacial lake. The interpretation of resistivity data at end moraine of Imja glacial lake is based not only on specific resistivity values, but also with field observations and correlation with previous studies. The maximum depth of information obtained from the modeling is about 25 m and; highest and lowest values of resistivity ranges from 117 Wm to 2682240 Wm. The distribution of major subsurface materials from lowest resistivity value to highest resistivity values are classified as saturated moraine (<5000 Wm), frozen moraine (5000 Wm to 20000 Wm) and dead ice (>20000 Wm). The distribution of dead buried ice in moraine dam is found to be heterogeneous. The minimum and maximum depth of dead ice from surface is about 0 m to 20 m at various locations. Based on the information of this study, an open channel was cut through the lake to lower its level and the result is found to be successful.
Spatial variability of shallow groundwater level in the Northern Kathmandu Valley
Authors: Shrestha Manish , Tamrakar Naresh Kazi
Published: February 2019

Groundwater is the water which is present in pore spaces and in the fractures of the geological materials beneath earth surface. Water is incompressible substance and presence of small amount of water in geological material modifies the behavior of geological material under stresses. Determination of engineering behavior of the geological material is almost impossible skipping the role of water. The objective of this study was to map and evaluate shallow groundwater level of the northern Kathmandu Valley covering main rivers such as the Bagmati River, Bishnumati River, Dhobi Khola and the Manahara Khola. These rivers flow from the North to the South across the sand rich sediment zone. Static groundwater levels of 239 wells were measured from different locations of the study area in April/March 2017 (Dry Season) and in August 2017 (Wet Season). Shallow groundwater level was measured from soil surface to water level using well water depth logger (Qin and Li, 1998). The result showed that groundwater level ranged from 0.6 m to 12.5

m in dry season and 0.1 m to 13 m in wet season. The groundwater level increased by average of 34.68% (n = 235) as compared to that in dry season. Increase in the groundwater level suggests recharge of groundwater in wet season of the study area. The flow pattern of groundwater levels from the study shows flow of shallow groundwater towards the major rivers of that particular river watershed. As a consequence, seepage flow and piping erosion is likely along the riverbank slopes. Increase in recharge of groundwater during wet season exhibits that the northern region of the Kathmandu Valley is potential for groundwater recharge and can be used to manage water for the dry period.
Compression behavior of reconstituted clay: A study on black clay
Authors: Dahal Bhim Kumar , Zheng Jun-Jie
Published: February 2019

The soft and black clay found in the Kathmandu Valley is locally known as Kalomato which is highly compressible and weak. The Kalomato from the Khasibazaar is taken as study material. Experimental study is carried out on undisturbed, remoulded and reconstituted soil samples to determine the compression  behavior. The study revealed that the undisturbed soil sample has the highest compression  index among all samples while the remolded sample has the lowest compression index. The reconstituted soil sample using cement shows that the compression index increases with the increase in cement content while decrease with the increase in curing time. When cement content increases to 15%, the load required to compress the soil to the equal void ratio also increases to almost three times of the undisturbed soil and seven times of the remoulded soil. Therefore, reconstitution of soil using cement is found as effective method for improvement of compression  behaviour. This study also has established graphical interrelations between the compression index, swelling index and the cement content which can be used in the study of Kalomato.
Fault-controlled geomorphic features in Ridi-Shantipur area of Gulmi District and their implications for active tectonics
Authors: Timalsina Kumar , Paudyal Kabi Raj
Published: February 2019

The Lesser Himalaya is a fold-thrust belt in the Himalaya. In the Nepal Himalaya, several active faults, among which the Badi Gad Fault is one of them, are identified and mapped by many researchers in the past, However, very less study has been carried out on the existence of this fault and its extension. In the present study, an attempt was made to assess the fault and to map its extension in the region based on the geological as well as geomorphological criteria. For this purpose, a detailed geological map was prepared from Ridi to the Shantipur area in 1:25,000 scales. During the field work, several geological as well as geomorphic evidences of the existence of active fault were found, and some of them are also found under the aerial photo observation. These evidences include the presence of shear zones, clustering of large and several landslides along a confined linear zone, river course diversion, terrace tilting, fault scarps etc. In the present work, the Badi Gad Fault is traced out continuously from the Ridi to the Shantipur area and even extended far to the NW direction under aerial photo. The fault follows the moderate hills of the left bank of the present course of the Badi Gad River. Major shear zones found in the region are the Tal Khola, Aslewa, Eksingaun, Juhan, Gultung, and the Rupakot shear zones. These shear zones are represented by the wide zone of fault gauge, fault breccias, silickensides, striations and large landslides. Besides, other geomorphic evidences traced out are location of spring lines, tilted river terraces in Pul Camp and Wamitaksar area, river course diversion of the Lumdi Khola and fault scarp at Bhanjyangaun of Aslewa. Such types of fault-controlled geomorphic features are also found from the Rudrabeni-Wamitaksar areas under the aerial photos. Based on the fault controlled geomorphological study in the field and aerial photos interpretation, an attempt was made to map the Badi Gad Fault, an active strike slip fault in the region.

Authors: Nazari Goris , MacDermid Joy C. , Sinden Kathryn E. , Richardson Julie , Tang Ada
Published: February 2019

Purpose: We determined the inter-instrument reliability and agreement parameters of the Fitbit Charge Heart Rate (Charge HR) device during three phases: rest, modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT), and recovery. Method: We recruited 60 participants for this cross-sectional measurement study using convenience and snowball sampling approaches. The performance of the Charge HR was assessed throughout the rest, mCAFT, and recovery phases. To establish inter-instrument reliability, the Charge HR variables – heart rate, steps taken, and energy expenditures – were compared with those for two other devices: the Zephyr BioHarness (ZB) for heart rate and the Fitbit One for steps taken and energy expenditure. Measurements were recorded every 30 seconds. Results: At rest, the inter-instrument intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) (standard error of measurement [SEM]) for the Charge HR versus the ZB was ≥ 0.97 (range, min–max, 1.02–1.32). During the mCAFT and in recovery, the ICCs (SEMs) for the Charge HR and the ZB were ≥ 0.89 (range, min–max, 1.30–3.98) and ≥ 0.68 (range, min–max, 3.58–8.35), respectively. During the mCAFT only, the number of steps taken and the energy expenditure recorded by the Charge HR and the Fitbit One displayed ICCs (SEMs) of 0.97 (83.00) and 0.77 (14.70), respectively. The average agreement differences in heart rate in this pair-wise device comparison indicated mean differences of –0.20, 4.00, and 1.00 beats per minute at rest, during the mCAFT, and in recovery, respectively. Conclusions: The Charge HR heart rate variable demonstrated excellent inter-instrument reliability compared with the ZB and provided good levels of agreement. The steps taken and energy expenditure variables displayed excellent reliability measures between Charge HR and Fitbit One. Our findings may be used to capture field-based wireless measures of heart rate in various phases and provide information about possibly using the Charge HR and ZB devices interchangeably.

Authors: Le Berre Mélanie , Morin Mélanie , Corriveau Hélène , Hamel Mathieu , Nadeau Sylvie , Filiatrault Johanne , Dumoulin Chantale
Published: February 2019

Purpose: After the age of 65, urinary incontinence (UI) occurs in one of every two women. A positive correlation between falls and urgency UI (UUI) or mixed UI (MUI) has also been identified. However, lower extremity impairments in older women with UUI or MUI have not been thoroughly investigated. The primary goal of this study was to compare lower limb strength, balance, mobility, and function in older women with and without UUI or MUI. The secondary goal was to evaluate the association between these measurements and UI severity. Method: A total of 40 older women with and without UUI or MUI completed standardized tests for lower limb strength (knee flexor or extensor dynamometry, 30-second sit-to-stand test), balance (single-leg stance test, Four Square Step Test, Activities-specific Balance Confidence questionnaire), mobility (10-metre walk test, 6-minute walk test), and function (Human Activity Profile questionnaire, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey). Results: Significant differences in balance and mobility were observed between the two groups. Women with UI had shorter single-leg stance times, lower balance confidence scores, and slower gait speeds. Conclusions: The results from this pilot study suggest that high-functioning older women with UUI or MUI have balance and mobility impairments. More studies are needed to confirm these results. By reporting power calculations for sample size, this pilot study provides a useful basis on which to design and conduct larger studies.
Louis Riel: History, Theatre, and a National Narrative – An Evolving . . . Story
Authors: Danckert Paula
Published: February 2019

How do historiographies change over time? What are the factors that necessitate change? This article offers a comparative view of two productions of the opera Louis Riel, by Mavor Moore and Harry Somers, as a way to investigate these questions. Commissioned by the Canadian Opera Company for its 1967 season, then produced again fifty years later, these centennial and sesquicentennial productions provide a glimpse into the political and cultural circumstances that informed the dramaturgical choices that led to adaptations made to the production of 2017. Tracing the roots of a Nisga’a song, the “Kuyas” aria, from its preservation in the archive, to a rewritten version, and eventually back to its origins, tells a story of acculturation and assimilation. It also tells a story of resistance in the form of a wake-up call for a nation.

Entre la historia de la marginalidad, la historia de lo imaginario y la psicohistoria: el Océano Índico en los siglos XIII a XV.
Authors: Rosas Moscoso Fernando
Published: February 2019

Las relaciones entre la Historia y la Psicología se reflejan en algunas tendencias actuales de investigación histórica. La visión que se tenía del Océano Índico entre los siglos XIII al XV, a través de mapas antiguos, algunos viajeros y referencias fantásticas, genera el despliegue de mecanismos oníricos en donde lo maravilloso y lo monstruoso reflejan temores que también están vinculados a los profundos cambios que genera la transición del Feudalismo al Capitalismo. Finalmente, la realidad se  impone a la fantasía, replegándose los sueños y temores a raíz del viaje a la India de Vasco da Gama (1498-1499).

Con fin de conocer la percepción ambiental de los visitantes a un zoológico de Lima, Perú, se realizó una encuesta de opinión basada en diez preguntas (cuatro respuestas cerradas y seis abiertas). Las encuestas fueron realizadas a 440 visi- tantes al zoológico del Patronato del Parque de las Leyendas (PATPAL) (12°04´13´´ LS, 77°04´39´´ LO y 81 msnm) el 10 de Julio del 2004. La proporción de sexos de los entrevistados fue aproximadamente 1:1. El grupo etario predominante fue mayor de 35 años (31,1 %). Solo el 20,45 % de los entrevistados consideró al deterioro ambiental y a la contaminación como un problema de importancia que enfrenta la humanidad. Los entrevistados confundieron las causas del calentamiento global de la tierra (68,44 %) y de la destrucción de la capa de ozono (28,5 %). Entre las funciones del zoológico se consideró la más importante la educativa, luego la de conservación y finalmente la de recreación. Manu (33,63 %), Paracas (14,09 %) y Pantanos de Villa (8,86%) fueron las áreas Naturales protegidas por el Estado más mencionadas. La Vicuña fue la especie peruana más frecuentemente mencionada como en peligro de extinción. Solo 3,41 % señaló que en el Perú existen tres especies de aves marinas guaneras. En base a estos resultados obtenidos se propone algunos lineamientos de Educación Ambiental para los visitantes al zoológico

El plomo es un agente contaminante presente en el ambiente producto de la minería, manufactura industrial y la quema de combustibles fósiles. Se ha observado que individuos expuestos ocupacionalmente a plomo presentan disfunción de las glándulas sexuales, disminución de la concentración espermática, disminución de la motilidad y algunas otras alteraciones.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto del acetato de plomo sobre la capacitación espermática. El medio que se utilizó para la capacitación fue Tyrode libre de Ca+, suplementado con Albumina de Bovino Sérica (BS A) por 30 minutos a 37ºC, 6% CO y bajo concentraciones de Pb(CH3COO) a 0.6μg/dL; 6μg/dL y 66μg/dL. Se realizó la valoración de la motilidad y vitalidad espermática pre y post capacitación. Como resultados se obtuvo una disminución en la vitalidad con medias de 17.99 y 46.99 para la concentración de 66μg/dL, además se observaron efectos en la motilidad, con medias de 1.2 y 26 a la misma concentración. En conclusión, el acetato de plomo Pb(CH3COO)2 tiene efectos, sobre la motilidad y vitalidad, disminuyendo los porcentajes óptimos durante la capacitación espermática.

La Leptospirosis constituye una zoonosis bacteriana de distribución mundial causada por una espiroqueta del género Leptospira, la cual provoca problemas de salud frecuentes en el hombre y los animales. Por ello se realiza esta investigación, con el objetivo de determinar la posible relación entre la entidad leptospirosis con algunas variables climáticas en el municipio Santa Clara, provincia Villa Clara durante el período comprendido desde el año 2001 al 2014. Para llevar a cabo dicho estudio se realizó una investigación observacional descriptiva transversal analizándose el total de las encuestas epidemiológicas aplicada a pacientes diagnosticados con la enfermedad, llegando a realizar la caracterización de las principales variables sociodemográficas y epidemiológicas. Se utilizó la Regresión Objetiva Regresiva (ROR) para la modelación. Se concluye que la presencia de roedores en el hogar fue la principal fuente de infección y las edades de mayor riesgo entre 15 a 59 años, la fiebre, cefaleas y artromialgias fueron los síntomas más frecuentes observados. Se encontraron correlaciones significativas entre la enfermedad con las variables climáticas en estudio.
