Taking Honolulu by Storm
Authors: Bonura Sandra E.
Published: May 2018

Throughout her tenure at Kamehameha Schools, Pope continued her graduate work at the University of Chicago. Pope spent three separate semesters learning the latest educational methods from the most progressive leaders of the time in order to elevate education in Hawaii. She also traveled throughout the United States to consult with the brightest minds in the budding vocational education and social change movement. In turn, the movement’s leaders visited her. She was able to use her experiences to facilitate the first social survey of Honolulu, which contributed to the overhaul of labor laws, vastly improving working conditions for Hawaiian women. In 1910, Pope attended the first National Conference on Vocational Guidance in Boston. Educators, social workers, and corporate figures from 45 cities met to discuss how to improve the lives of immigrants by making sound vocational choices. Conference presenters and attendees included Jane Addams, Homer Folks, G. Stanley Hall, George Mead, Henry Metcalf, and Edward Thorndike. Pope joined these pioneers in the field of education and sociology for two days of stimulating discourse that ultimately ignited a national interest in public school career guidance. Pope advocated for a vocational bureau in Honolulu until her death.
Broken Voices
Authors: Maliangkay Roald
Published: May 2018

Broken Voices is the first English-language book on Korea’s rich folksong traditions, and the first study of the effects of Japanese colonialism on the intangible heritage of its former colony. Maliangkay demonstrates that South Korea’s cultural preservation system, one of the world’s most elaborate, is deeply rooted in the period of Japanese colonial rule. He describes how the three largest folksong traditions, which have all been passed on in and around Seoul, have developed prior to and after becoming recognized as national cultural properties. Although continued government funding for Korea’s national heritage has won over many skeptics, close analysis of the traditions reveals that they have changed significantly since their official designation as Important Intangible Cultural Property. Those changes are, however, not caused by the prevailing image of Japan only, or the system per se, but by a combination of socio-political and economic factors. Since traditions that fail to attract practitioners and audiences are unsustainable, compromises may be unwelcome, but imperative.
Introduction
Authors: Maliangkay Roald
Published: May 2018

In Korea, museum collections have long been comprised of mementos rather than specimens of the national heritage. Even so, Korean cultural properties have served the national interests of various administrations since the early 1960s. Although the cultural policies of previous military governments promoted patriotism and national pride, they also nurtured a cultural cringe that would prove hard to erase. Today, however, Korea’s intangible heritage supports the Korean Wave, which brought an end to the cultural cringe in the late 1990s.
From Women’s Liberation to Lesbian Feminism in Japan
Authors: Welker James
Published: May 2018

The Ūman ribu (women’s liberation) movement in the first half of the 1970s and the feminism that was to follow have long been regarded as hostile spaces for lesbians in Japan. And yet strong support for women’s sexual autonomy, including attention to sexual and reproductive health as well as sexual pleasure, were central to ribu philosophy and some subsequent strands of feminist discourse. This attention to women’s sexuality in fact helped set the stage for the development of rezubian feminizumu (lesbian feminism) in Japan. Drawing on analyses of commercially published books, translations, and magazine articles, as well as newsletters, booklets, and other ephemera from the 1970s and 1980s, and recent interviews, this chapter situates the emergence and development of lesbian feminism in Japan within the context of ribu and other feminist activism, as well as transnational flows of (lesbian) feminist discourse.
Flower Empowerment
Authors: Stalker Nancy
Published: May 2018

Ikebana, the art of Japanese flower arranging, was first systematized in the fifteenth century, when it was limited to elite male practitioners. It was first widely practiced by women in the early twentieth century, but did not reach mass popularity until the 1950s and 1960s, with an estimated ten million students, over 99 percent of whom were female. While it was still considered by many to be a domestic skill for upper-middle-class housewives, it increasingly offered employment for postwar Japanese women as teachers and even as headmasters (iemoto) of their own schools, allowing women to engage in paid labor without violating traditional gender norms. This chapter traces the trajectory of job opportunities for women in ikebana, examining how educational reforms in the Meiji and postwar periods provided chances to study and obtain teaching licenses in ikebana and how the three largest schools—Ikenobo, Ohara, and Sogetsu—increasingly professionalized their corps of teachers.
Seeing Double
Authors: Winston Leslie
Published: May 2018

Popular magazine illustrator Takabatake Kashō (1888–1966) was influential in creating images of young women that filled a variety of magazines in the Taishō (1912–1926) and early Shōwa (1926–1989) periods. They are depicted as stylish and self-assured, sexy but not objectified. This chapter argues that Kashō’s work is feminist for two reasons. His female subjects, oftentimes “modern girls,” rebuff the norms of so-called traditional feminine behavior, while his male subjects display so-called feminine behavior through gesture, appearance, etc. Through the hermaphroditic portrayal of his subjects, Kashō challenges the overdetermined link between gender and the body. Secondly, Kashō portrays women as autonomous, in contrast to state ideology that defined women through their roles as daughters, wives, and mothers. Kashō’s collapsing of naturalized divisions between the sexes, as well as his female subjects’ behavior, mark his work as feminist.
The Limits of Sovereignty
Authors: Sasges Gerard
Published: May 2018

Rather than serve as the foundation for the territorially sovereign state, the alcohol regime undermined and then redrew many of Indochina’s administrative boundaries. The most obvious example is the alcohol Régie of Tonkin and Northern Annam, which reconfigured one of Indochina’s basic administrative boundaries, that of its five consitutent “countries” (pays). More remarkable is the way much of Indochina remained outside the reach of the alcohol economies. In broad expanses of Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina, Cambodia and Laos, interactions of geography, history, and people limited the penetration both of the SFDIC’s alcohol and of state systems of control. The result was three distinct political-industrial economies: one a reconfigured Tonkin, another a reconfigured Cochinchina, and a third “near beyond” subject to very different and more flexible regimes of economic exploitation and State control. These regimes generated very different experiences of colonial rule, economic development, and state-building, with important implications for the post-colonial states to come.
Introduction
Authors: Nishida Mieko
Published: May 2018

In her Gaijin (1980), Tizuka Yamasaki (b. 1949) narrates a story of a young woman who marries her older brother’s best friend for the sake of their immigration to Brazil in 1908, and eventually becomes an independent working single mother in the city. Even though the story is loosely based on her maternal grandmother’s life, Yamasaki uses the movie to express her own identity as an educated Brazilian woman, who was involved in women’s movement during Brazil’s military regime. The movie received international acclaim but has not been widely appreciated among the Japanese in Brazil, mainly because it challenges the essentialization of Japanese Brazilian identity, which obscures gender and class. Inspired by Gaijin, which gives a voice to the historical “voiceless,” this book employs life history/story as its main methodology, in combination with substantial archival research. Each informant narrates his/her story and reveals his/her complex identity in relation to the Japanese-born but US-based author, based on their “shared” Japanese ancestry.
Postwar Immigrants and Their New Japanese Identity
Authors: Nishida Mieko
Published: May 2018

The new values and ideas that post-war Japanese immigrants brought with them to Brazil not only created conflicts with prewar immigrants but also challenged and/or confirmed patriarchy in the Japanese diaspora. Many postwar immigrant men arrived as single agricultural and industrial workers in the 1950s and 1960s. Some married Nisei and white Brazilian women but others preferred to look for women to marry back in Japan. Thus in the 1960s and 1970s adult Japanese women arrived in Brazil as “bride immigrants,” whose main role was to support their husbands in Brazil. In the 1980s, unemployed postwar immigrant men became the first to choose dekassegui work in Japan in order to support their families in Brazil. Like their prewar counterparts had done, postwar immigrant parents devoted themselves to the higher Brazilian education of both daughters and sons and expected them to succeed as urban upper-middle-class Brazilians.
Japanese Brazilians and Their Brazilian Identity in Japan
Authors: Nishida Mieko
Published: May 2018

Within a year and half after the global recession began in September 2008, one quarter of Brazilian residents in Japan had returned to Brazil, which critically damaged the once thriving ethic Brazilian businesses in Japan’s Brazil Towns. Brazilian dekassegui workers largely married among themselves, and gender subordination often came to be reproduced and even strengthened in the Brazilian diaspora. Over the years, due to Japan’s prolonged recession, the Brazilian population in Japan came to be dispersed. Japanese Brazilians remaining in Japan became increasingly nationalistic as Brazilians, imagining their homeland for its bright future, with the World Cup (2014) and Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro (2016). While being positioned collectively as Brazilians, Japanese Brazilians have not come to form a homogenized Brazilian identity in Japan and continued to position themselves individually over “the face” and the definition of Nikkeiness.
Introducing Zweig in Turbulent Times
Authors: Hoefle Arnhilt Johanna
Published: May 2018

Stefan Zweig’s works were first introduced in Republican China after the fall of the Qing Empire (1644-1911) during a period of transition, re-orientation, and civil war. This chapter focuses on two cases, Geng Jizhi’s (1899-1947) translation of the novella The Governess of 1927 and Sun Hanbing’s (1902-1940) translation of the novella Letter from an Unknown Woman of 1934. Geng Jizhi served as a diplomat of the Nationalist government at Chinese consulates in the Soviet Union and was one of the most important translators of classical Russian literature. Eager to introduce European notions of psychology and psychoanalysis to a Chinese readership during the New Culture Movement, he translated Zweig’s novella from a Russian source. Sun Hanbing, a professor of economics who had extensively studied in the US, based his translation on an English edition and attached not only an American but also a Soviet review to his translation. Active in Shanghai’s illegal Marxist circles he published the novella as a negative example of decadent bourgeois literature in a Marxist journal that was banned shortly after. This chapter therefore showcases the introduction of Zweig in China as a result of multiple interweaving linguistic, cultural, intellectual, and, in particular, diametrically opposed political systems.

Comparison of Two Tillage Practices in a Semi‐Arid Cotton–Grain Sorghum Rotation
Authors: Foster Jamie L. , Bean Matthew E. , Morgan Cristine , Morgan Gaylon , Mohtar Rabi , Landivar Juan , Young Mac
Published: May 2018

Cotton and sorghum yield were more dependent on precipitation than tillage management.

No‐till produced a greater cotton and sorghum crop yield in some years.

Economic analyses indicate a reduction of costs with no‐till versus conventional practices.

Conventional tillage (CT) cropping systems in semiarid regions of south Texas are associated with soil degradation and increasing fuel costs. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of no‐till (NT) compared with CT on a dryland cotton (Gossypium hirsutumL.)–grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench] rotation system with respect to crop yields, yield stability, soil moisture and structure, and economics. The experiment (four replicated plots of each crop and tillage treatment annually) was conducted on a Vertisol at Corpus Christi, TX, from 2011 to 2015. Cotton yield was similar among tillage treatments, except for the drought year of 2013 when 86% greater yield occurred with NT and above average precipitation year of 2015 (15% greater yield for NT). Sorghum yield was impacted by tillage in 2012 when NT produced 33% greater yield than CT, whereas, in 2015, CT produced 28% greater yield. Yields were stable across crops and tillage treatment. Soil moisture was not impacted by tillage treatment; however, tillage caused bulk density to increase at 15‐ to 30‐cm depth compared with 0‐ to 15‐cm depth. All soil chemical properties remained constant, except NT had greater total soil N than CT in 2015. Cash costs for CT were greater than NT for both crops, and net cash farm income was positive only for NT cotton. No‐till is a viable alternative for dryland farmers in this region because of stable yields and increased income.

MODERN DEVLETİN BİR UNSURU OLARAK EGEMENLİK VE ULUSLARARASI CEZA MAHKEMESİ
Authors: ORMANOĞLU Hatice Derya
Published: May 2018

Modern devletin vazgeçilmez unsurlarından biri olan egemenlik anlayışı önemli bir dönüşüme uğramıştır. Bugün Jean Bodin’in kurumsallaştırdığı; mutlak, bölünemez ve sürekli olarak nitelendirilen klasik egemenlik anlayışından bahsetmemiz mümkün değildir. Klasik egemenlik anlayışının geçirdiği dönüşümün çeşitli sebepleri bulunmaktadır. Bu sebepleri hukuk devleti, insan hakları, kuvvetler ayrılığı prensibi ve uluslararası kuruluşlar olarak ifade etmemiz mümkündür. Özellikle Birinci ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrasında ortaya çıkan uluslararası kuruluşlar devletlerin egemenliğine müdahale konusunda oldukça dikkat çekicidir. Egemenlik anlayışının geçirdiği bu dönüşüm sırasında dünya birçok katliama ve savaşlara tanıklık etmiştir. Bu doğrultuda da önce ad hoc mahkemeler kurulmuş ardından da Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin kuruluşuna giden süreç başlamıştır. 17 Temmuz 1998 tarihinde kabul edilip, 1 Temmuz 2002’de yürürlüğe giren Roma Statüsü ile de Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi kurulmuştur. Devlet egemenliğine önemli bir müdahale anlamına gelen Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin yargılama yetkisi konusunda tamamlayıcılık ilkesinin kabul edilmesiyle, devlet egemenliğine yapılan müdahalenin daha aza indirgenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda da Statü’ye taraf olacak devlet sayısını arttırmak amaçlanmıştır.
Existing situation and prospects of green economy: evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Mahboob Ali Muhammad
Published: May 2018

Economy for green is currently becoming a “buzz word” among producers, suppliers and consumers, which is also receiving impetus in Bangladesh. Based on the literature review, a number of theoretical relationships were empirically tested. An investigative query is: to what extent the green economy is flourishing with a via to extend sustainability of the state with competitive advantage? Structured questionnaire was deliberated in order to find the relationships between the demographic variables and the green ecosystem. Time period of the research was October 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018. It was empirically observed that the relationship between the respondents of both genders and usability of green production in the country exists; the connection between business type and sensitivity of any green product is easily obtainable; the linkage between business type and awareness of any green product is accessible in the market; the linkage between type of institution and encouraging goods and services of any “Green Product” in Bangladesh occurs; the relationship between different types of institutes and use of Green Product consumption is applicable in the country. Economy for Green can possibly reduce the magnitude of the worst shock of natural disasters which increasingly occur as regular variation in addition to severe problems on human being and non-human assets. Consumers and producers are essential by conscious of green concept. Green Investment Bank in Bangladesh may be established to accomplish a broad range of economic support for innovative green projects and technologies leading to increasing capacity and sustainable connections.

Comparative analysis of meteorological and hydrological drought over the Pearl River basin in southern China
Authors: Xu Kai , Qin Guangxiong , Niu Jie , Wu Chuanhao , Hu Bill X. , Huang Guoru , Wang Peng
Published: May 2018

Drought is one of the major natural hazards with a possibly devastating impact on the regional environment, agriculture, and water resources. Previous studies have assessed the historic changes in meteorological drought over various regional scales but have rarely considered hydrological drought due to limited hydrological observations. Here, we use long-term (1960–2012) hydro-meteorological data to analyze the meteorological and hydrological drought comparatively in the Pearl River basin (PRB) in southern China using the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and the standardized runoff index (SRI). The results indicate a strong positive correlation between the SPI and SRI, and the correlation tends to be stronger at the longer timescale. The SPI is reliable to substitute for the SRI to represent the hydrological drought at the long-term scale (e.g., 12 months or longer). Trend analysis reveals a noticeably wetting trend mainly in the eastern regions and a significant drying trend mainly in the western regions and the downstream area of the PRB. The drought frequency is spatially heterogeneous and varies slightly at the interannual scale. Overall, the drought is dominated by noticeable cycles of shorter periodicity (0.75–1.8 years), and periodic cycles in the meteorological drought are mainly responsible for those in the hydrological drought.

Published: May 2018

In 2012, the Government of Indonesia and UNICEF launched a project within eastern provinces of Indonesia to scale up and strengthen a national hygiene and sanitation program called ‘Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat’. A formative study prior to the project was conducted to characterize sanitation and hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among 1,700 households in six rural Indonesian districts in 2014. Separate multivariate analyses for toilet ownership (outcome 1) and improved sanitation (outcome 2) were conducted with generalized linear models to assess the association between potential determinants and sanitation outcomes. Respondents who agreed that most people do not have a toilet in their community were associated with lower levels of toilet ownership compared to respondents who disagreed with the statement (p < 0.001). The perception that building a toilet is expensive was also associated with reduced toilet ownership in contrast to respondents without this perception (p < 0.001). Embarrassment and convenience were associated with ownership of improved sanitation versus those with shared or unimproved toilets. The study suggests that social norms play an important role in changing sanitation behaviors. Future research should aim to clarify the extent to which norms and other psychosocial factors can be used to influence sanitation practices.
Therapeutic Potential of Phytomedicines and Novel Polymeric Strategies for Significant Management of Candidiasis
Authors: Rohilla Surbhi , Bhatt D.C. , Gupta Aditi
Published: May 2018

Background:

Candidiasis is one of the most common opportunistic fungal infections caused by genus
Candida. The genus is composed of around 200 species. The most virulent among all are, Candida albicans followed
by various nonalbicans species. Despite various treatments available, the incidence of severe systemic
fungal infections is increasing, and with it the related morbidity and mortality, in relation to the misuse of antimicrobials
and the emergence of drug-resistant fungal species. Therefore, various novel therapeutic approaches need
to be developed and explored to overcome these limitations and effective management of candidiasis.

Objective:

In this review, we focused on natural herbal remedies and significance of novel formulation approaches
for the treatment of candidiasis.

Conclusion:

The reported studies suggested the promising role of phytomedicines and novel polymeric drug
delivery systems in therapeutic management of candidiasis. Phytomedicines are effective substitutes of synthetic
drugs as they are inexpensive with lesser number of side effects. Various novel particulate approaches can be
successfully used to reduce fungal burden at the target site.

Nos últimos anos, tem sido notável a rápida evolução dos equipamentos médicos e da consequente aquisição desses dispositivos tecnologicamente mais sofisticado por hospitais e unidades de saúde.1 Podem-se ter equipamentos médicos para uma infinidade de objetivos junto ao paciente, seja para tratamento, diagnóstico ou monitorização dos indivíduos. Ademais, tais equipamentos podem apresentar alarmes ou não.2Alarmes são considerados3 como dispositivos visuais e/ou auditivos, presentes em diversos equipamentos médicos hospitalares, com o intuito de manterem a segurança dos pacientes. Isso porque quando alarmes trabalham como previsto são de extrema importância por sinalizarem mudanças nos equipamentos. Porém, o que se tem observado na prática clínica e verificado na literatura são centenas de alarmes soando constantemente dentro das diversas instituições hospitalares, aparentando estarem fora de controle.4Sabe-se que os níveis de ruídos em hospitais encontram-se superiores aos recomendados por diversas instituições regulamentadores,5 como para a United States Environmental Protection Agency, que recomenda que os níveis de ruído em ambiente hospitalar não devam exceder 45 dB durante o dia e 35 dB durante a noite. A Organização Mundial de Saúde recomenda de 30-40 dB para ambientes hospitalares internos. Segundo a Norma Brasileira NBR 10151, os valores das medidas em diversos ambientes hospitalares devem ser a) de 35-45 dB para apartamentos, enfermarias, berçários e centros cirúrgicos; b) de 40-50 dB para laboratórios e áreas para uso do público; e c) de 45-55 dB para os ambientes de serviços.

Mediator as a Story Recipient in Narrative Mediation: What Types of Questions Should I Ask?
Authors: Ying Chen , Lay Tan Chee
Published: May 2018

This study adopted the theoretical framework of narrative mediation to investigate a storied conflict talk between a landlord and her tenant in which the mediator played the role of a story recipient in the co-construction of stories with disputants. The focus of this research is on the function of questions posed by the mediator in the production of turning points which are favourable to the evolution of “better-formed” stories. The results of this study indicate that there are at least two types of questions mediators ask: 1) the questions that can help disputants reflect on their imperfectness; 2) the questions that awaken disputants’ memories of their good stories from the past. It is shown that the de-legitimacy for Self laid a foundation for the production of a good story towards a meaningful outcome for the mediation. The inadequacy of the context formed by first having legitimacy for Other followed by the de-legitimacy for Self led to the failure of destabilizing the problematic story in the mediation. The lack of the dominant party’s legitimacy for Other resulted in the absence of legitimacy from the marginalized side and would likely cause unfavourable consequences to the mediation in the long term.
The Effect of Using of TBLT on Vocabulary Learning by Deaf or Hard of Hearing Learners
Authors: Fazilatfar Ali M. , Afzali Maryam
Published: May 2018

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) on the learning of new lexical items by Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) learners. For this purpose, 30 beginner learners, studying English in the first grade of high school in two exceptional learners’ education centers in Yazd, Iran were selected. They were divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The experimental group received Task Based Language Teaching (TBLT) treatment within which new lexical items were taught through different techniques based on form-focused task design. In the control group, the learners were learning the vocabulary items through the traditional method of Grammar Translation Method (GTM). Firstly a pre-test based on pictures was given to DHH learners. After 9 sessions of treatment, each lasted 30 minutes, a post-test was given to learners. T-test was used to analyze the data collected. The results showed that there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups. From different perspectives, the implication of this study can be discussed. This study can open an opportunity for teachers of DHH learners to experience some teaching methods not usually used in exceptional educational curriculum. Furthermore, these methods may be of high potentials for exceptional learners.
Habitar la fachada. Cuerpo e imagen en la instalación. Paracaidista Av. Revolución 1608 bis de Héctor Zamora

Published: May 2018

Este artículo hace una interpretación de la instalación Paracaidista Av. Revolución 1608 bis, del artista mexicano Héctor Zamora, realizada al exterior del edificio del Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil en 2004, con su contexto urbano como punto de partida. En éste se señala el contraste entre imagen y cuerpo mediante la conju-gación entre el emplazamiento de la fachada del edificio y el uso de la instalación como vivienda; se considera la fachada como una zona destinada principalmen-te a la imagen, de manera que el habitar se activó como una interrupión visual al condicionamiento perceptivo de la urbe, que encuentra este tipo de superficies ocupadas por la publicidad. Se propone así que la intervención realiza una interferencia por medio del cuerpo que habita, y señala un vacío vertical al que no es capaz de sustraerse como imagen ni como ficción.
Asistir a la cita de la posdictadura. Historicidad, performance y políticas del cuerpo entre Emilio García Wehbi y el Periférico de Objetos
Authors: Gelman Constantin Francisco
Published: May 2018

En diálogo con la reivindicación teórica contemporánea del anacronismo como antídoto contra el historicismo positivista, el artículo explora la obra performática y teatral de Emilio García Wehbi en sus relaciones con la producción del Periférico de Objetos, con la expectativa de investigar qué implica la incorporación del cuerpo  escénico en una concepción compleja y fracturada de la temporalidad del arte. En la instauración de la posdictadura como un efecto retroactivo de producción de historicidad a lo largo del tiempo escindido de la obra, la desincronización aparece como un acto político de desafío a las biopolíticas de Estado. La suscitación de una teoría sobre las relaciones entre lenguaje y cuerpo adecuada a este decir escénico permite además recorrer algunas disputas conceptuales actuales y defender una concepción del montaje como modo de comprender la articulación de tiempos, cuerpos y sujetos en su heterogeneidad.

Evidence for a Negative Effect of Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) on Invasive European Fire Ants (Myrmica rubra)
Authors: Gupta Aditi , Rudmik Kristi , Fraser Gail S.
Published: May 2018

Nesting of Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) in western Lake Ontario is associated with reduced abundance and nest density of European Fire Ants (Myrmica rubra). The impact on fire ants may be substrate related. It is of potential importance because of the negative effect of fire ants on ground-nesting water birds.

Authors: Chapman Colin J. , Oldham Michael J.
Published: May 2018

We report two populations of Trifolium resupinatum (Reversed Clover, trèfle résupiné) from southern Ontario, confirming it as established in Canada. This Eurasian and north African species was reported in the late 1800s in New Brunswick and Quebec, where it apparently did not persist. Its distribution across the United States is sporadic.
Sora (Porzana carolina) Parasitism of Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) Nests
Authors: Igl Lawrence D.
Published: May 2018

Sora (Porzana carolina) is a conspecific brood parasite that also occasionally parasitizes nests of other species. Sora parasitism in nests of passerines is rare. Of 129 Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) nests found in North Dakota in 2009 and 2010, two (1.6%) were parasitized by Soras. The conditions favouring this rare parasitic behaviour may include competition for nest sites and high Sora density.

Authors: Morrison Brian P. , Moore Daniel J.
Published: May 2018

This paper documents the first juvenile Chain Pickerel (Esox niger) captured in Ontario waters of Lake Ontario. It was found during August 2016 monitoring activities at Port of Newcastle. Its occurrence represents a significant westward range expansion from recently documented adults in the eastern basin of Lake Ontario/Bay of Quinte/St. Lawrence River, likely colonizing from United States waters of Lake Ontario.
A Bilaterally Partitioned Colour Variant of an Appalachian Brook Crayfish (Cambarus bartonii bartonii) from eastern Pennsylvania
Authors: Hartzell Sean M.
Published: May 2018

This observation of a bilaterally partitioned colour phenotype of an Appalachian Brook Crayfish (Cambarus bartonii bartonii) from Fishing Creek, Columbia County, Pennsylvania, USA, appears to be the first report of such an aberrant phenotype for this species. The pattern is similar to that reported previously in Papershell Crayfish (Orconectes immunis) and Ameri can Lobster (Homarus americanus). Although the cause of the colour pattern in the specimen of C. b. bartonii could not be determined, hypotheses related to previous cases in aquatic crustaceans include bilateral partition of primary and secondary sexual characteristics (bicoloured gynandromorphy) and mutation during embryogenesis.

OBJECTIVE

Prompt initiation and intensification of antidiabetic therapy can delay or prevent complications from diabetes. We sought to understand the rates of and factors associated with the initiation and intensification of antidiabetic therapy among commercially insured patients in the U.S.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Using 2008–2015 commercial claims linked with laboratory and pharmacy data, we created an initiation cohort with no prior antidiabetic drug use and an HbA1c ≥8% (64 mmol/mol) and an intensification cohort of patients with an HbA1c ≥8% (64 mmol/mol) who were on a stable dose of one noninsulin diabetes drug. Using multivariable logistic regression, we determined the rates of and factors associated with initiation and intensification. In addition, we determined the percent of variation in treatment patterns explained by measurable patient factors.

RESULTS

In the initiation cohort (n = 9,799), 63% of patients received an antidiabetic drug within 6 months of the elevated HbA1c test. In the intensification cohort (n = 10,941), 82% had their existing antidiabetic therapy intensified within 6 months of the elevated HbA1c test. Higher HbA1c levels, lower generic drug copayments, and more frequent office visits were associated with higher rates of both initiation and intensification. Better patient adherence prior to the elevated HbA1c level, existing therapy with a second-generation antidiabetic drug, and lower doses of existing therapy were also associated with intensification. Patient factors explained 7.96% of the variation in initiation and 7.35% of the variation in intensification.

CONCLUSIONS

Approximately two-thirds of patients were newly initiated on antidiabetic therapy, and four-fifths of those already receiving antidiabetic therapy had it intensified within 6 months of an elevated HbA1c in a commercially insured population. Patient factors explain 7–8% of the variation in diabetes treatment patterns.
The relation between self-regulated learning, academic performance of graduate student
Authors: Madihie Amalia , Mos Zarifah
Published: May 2018

The purpose of this study is to discover possible relationships between self-regulated learning with graduate students’ academic performance. Eighty graduate students from the Learning Sciences Programme and Human Resources Programme at Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development were randomly selected.  Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (Pintrich, 1991) was piloted and administered. First, the questionnaire was undergone the back-to-back translation (into Malay language version).  Two variables that involved in this study were motivation and learning strategies. Academic performance measured to be dependent variable which is the graduate students’ current CGPA.   Findings show that there is no relation between motivation and learning strategies with academic performance. Future recommendations are also discussed in this study.

Published: May 2018

Pada jaringan transmisi sering terjadi berbagai macam jenis gangguan, antara lain gangguan hubung singkat satu phasa ke tanah, gangguan hubung singkat phasa ke phasa, gangguan antar phasa ke tanah dan gangguan simetris. Pendeteksian terhadap gangguan tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan metode jaring syaraf tiruan. Jaring syaraf tiruan terdiri dari sejumlah elemen penghitung tak linier yang masing-masing dihubungkan secara paralel melalui suatu pembobot. Proses training pada jaring syaraf tiruan ini terdiri dari proses pelatihan terhadap gangguan hubung singkat satu phasa ke tanah, gangguan hubung singkat phasa dengan phasa, gangguan hubung singkat antar phasa dengan tanah, dan gangguan simetris. Proses pelatihan pada jaringan transmisi ini menggunakan konfigurasi 6 data intput, 10 hidden layer, 6 data target, dan 6 output (6-10-6-6). Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa nilai arus dan tegangan gangguan untuk semua jenis gangguan pada jaringan transmisi berhasil di bangkitkan, dimana output berupa nilai tegangan dan arus dari proses pelatihan akan disimpan dan dijadikan sebagai refrensi untuk menentukan jenis gangguan hubung singkat yang terjadi pada jaringan transmisi. Data hasil simulasi jaringan transmisi dapat dikatakan normal saat mendekati nilai output atau sebaliknya ketika jaringan transmisi mengalami gangguan hubung singkat.
