Dickens's Wild Child: Nurture and Discipline after Peter the Wild Boy
Authors: Yan Rae X.
Published: June 2022

This essay argues that Charles Dickens models Oliver Twist after popular wild child figures of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, such as Peter the Wild Boy and Victor of Aveyron. My analysis of the scientific accounts of wild children written by physicians John Arbuthnot and Jean Marc Gaspard Itard illuminates the significance of wild children within Victorian popular culture. Nineteenth-century accounts about wild children were laden with anxieties surrounding the effectiveness of disciplinary systems. Wild child caretakers felt the need to civilize and train their charges, but the public records of their work suggest that their positivistic notions of such discipline were fraught with self-doubt. Exploring Dickens's portrayal of the “wild child” articulates his own ambivalence toward the development of his “wild child”-like protagonists.
Gathering and Scattering: Figuring Interest in Martin Chuzzlewit
Authors: Buzard James
Published: June 2022

Disinterestedness is a mystery in Martin Chuzzlewit. Dickens's novel about selfishness almost completely lacks the means for representing the process by which people may, by reflection, achieve a measure of detachment from a self-interested perspective. Characters such as Pecksniff and Jonas Chuzzlewit, who doggedly pursue their interests without hesitation, are counterbalanced by others—chiefly Tom Pinch—for whom disinterestedness is less an accomplishment than a kind of grace that places them almost completely outside the field of relentless competition that the novel depicts. The former characters aggressively “lean in” to attain their goals; the latter exhibit a similar posture, but they do so in pursuit of solidarity rather than gain. Interestedness so rules the world of Martin Chuzzlewit as to become the fundamental organizing principle of perception and action, with the result that disinterested characters almost cease to be characters at all. Like Tom and the “sketchy gentleman,” they hover between being there and not, between one and zero.
Finding Form inDavid Copperfield: The Architectural Installment
Authors: Siegel Daniel
Published: June 2022

Almost every formal study of the serial installments of Victorian novels has emphasized their textual condition, linking the installment's formal aspects to the circumstances of its publication and the experience of its readers. This essay takes a different approach, arguing that many Victorian novels use their serial structure to express and shape their meanings in an architectural sense, irrespective of the experience of reading or the mediations of print culture. Considering the example of David Copperfield, the essay shows that the shape of the numbers has a significant bearing on issues central to the novel, including the failures of patriarchy, David's erotic development, the politics of homelessness, and the equivocal character of Daniel Peggotty's rescue efforts. Indeed, the numbers of Copperfield stage intricate formal operations that are not revealed, and are in some way obscured, by a focus on the book's number plans, its publication history, or the temporalities of serial reading. The essay therefore proposes that we approach the serial installment with the same double-vision we train on other narrative forms, viewing the numbers as both registering their textual condition and expressing a self-contained narrative logic.
“Nothing Truer Than Physiognomy”: Body Semiotics and Agency in Charles Dickens's “Hunted Down” (1859)
Authors: Kronshage Eike
Published: June 2022

The narrator of Dickens's short story “Hunted Down” claims that “There is nothing truer than physiognomy” and thus puts great emphasis on the reading of faces as a means of understanding a person's character. In a crime story like “Hunted Down” this seems to be a very promising way to detect criminals, and the short story has consequently been read by many critics as evidence that Dickens actually believed in physiognomics. Yet not even once in this story does the narrator actually analyze a single physiognomic feature, a circumstance that is at odds both with his own claim about the power of physiognomics, and with the critical assessment of “Hunted Down” as proof of Dickens's belief in the pseudoscience. Therefore, this article analyzes the narrator as a dubious reader of physiognomy, who does not put into practice what he says. This circumstance also casts doubt on the idea of Dickens as a believer in physiognomics. I argue that (at least in his late career) Dickens was highly skeptical as to the potential of physiognomic interpretation and that “Hunted Down” is to be understood as an expression of his reservations, which are closely related to his reservations about literary realism.
The Challenge of Female Homoeroticism in Our Mutual Friend
Authors: Lewis Michael D.
Published: June 2022

Queer studies of the Victorian period have debated female homoeroticism's relationship to heterosexuality. Critics debate whether female dyads contest or support courtship and marriage. For Martha Vicinus, the Victorians saw women's friendships as an “unnamable threat to social norms,” while Sharon Marcus contends that they celebrated such relations and that same-sex “relationships worked in tandem with heterosexual exchange.” In Our Mutual Friend, Dickens belongs to both camps, showing women's connections as pervasive and disruptive. He celebrates women's erotic friendships precisely because they threaten heterosexual exchange: Abbey Potterson and Jenny Wren seek to protect Lizzie Hexam from her family and suitors; Sophronia Lammle gives Georgiana Podsnap a space away from her father to articulate her own feelings. These relationships that shelter women from heterosexual predation disappear in the novel's second volume. I argue, however, that we shouldn't read this disappearance as the unqualified triumph of normative relations. Mutual attraction continues to flicker—between Jenny and Abbey, Lizzie and Bella Wilfer—and the novel's heroines only accept marriage proposals once suitors cast off predatory designs and demonstrate an affection that resembles that of the female friends who have sustained them throughout the novel.

Published: June 2022

Dye contaminated sites are the efficient source for isolating bacteria capable of dye decolorization and degradation. The effluent and soil samples were collected from industrial zone where such effluents are discharged. Collected samples were enriched in nutrient media containing 100 mg/l Blue Herd dye. Isolate was selected based on zone of clearance on soild media containing dye. Based on biochemical and 16S rDNA comparisons the isolate is identified as Bacillus subtilis UAS1. The isolate showed maximum decolorization at 37 oC temperature, pH 7.0, capable of removing 92% dye at 20 mg/l concentration and significantly remove at higher subsequently added dye concentration up to 200 mg/l. The decolorization was highest in presence of Sodium Molybdate, less with Tungastate, Silver Chloride, Zinc Sulphate, whereas no decolorization in presence of Copper sulphate. The strain B. Subtilis UAS1 also exhibits significant reduction in the COD values; this suggests its potential and significance in dye removal.

Published: June 2022

The ideal combination that provides smooth insertion conditions with minimal side effects has not been identified, particularly in children. In this study, 70 children of age 3-12 years are divided randomly into 2 groups: Group 1-Group-F-Fentanyl (n=35) received Fentanyl 2μg/kg and Group 2-Group –K- Ketamine (n=35) received Ketamine 0.5mg/kg before induction of anaesthesia. Baseline heart rate and arterial blood pressure were measured. Vital parameters (Heart rate and Arterial Blood Pressure) were measured before induction, before LMA insertion and thereafter at 1, 3 and 5 minutes after LMA insertion. Ideal LMA insertion conditions were evaluated with six variables by blinded observer: mouth opening, gagging, head and limb movements, laryngospasm and resistance to insertion. Also the apnoea time was noted. The incidence of head/limb movements was statistically significant and Group Propofol – Ketamine showed 22% compared to Fentanyl-Propofol group (2.8%) Coughing/gagging was seen in 2.86% of both the groups. Resistance to insertion was statistically significant with p value of 0.0268 showing more in Propofol + Ketamine. There was no statistical significance in the occurrence of restricted mouth opening, restriction to LMA insertion and occurrence of swallowing between the two groups.

Published: June 2022

Sickle Cell Anemia is a common hematological disorder affecting children, mostly from indigenous tribal populations in Africa and India. There is no synthesized evidence to inform policy on its prevalence and distribution across India. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to estimate and summarize the prevalence of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and Sickle Cell Trait (SCT) among children aged < 18 years in India. Following standardized methods of systematic reviews, a comprehensive search of all major medical databases was performed. Through independent stepwise screening, ten eligible studies were included in the study. Original peer-reviewed studies reporting the prevalence of either SCD or SCT among Indian children below 18 years of age were included for subsequent methodological quality assessment and data extraction using predefined standardized tools. Random and fixed effects models for meta-analysis were used to arrive at summary estimates for prevalence with 95% confidence intervals. Subgroup analysis was performed among tribal and non-tribal children. The included studies used data from around 2 million participants in total. The pooled prevalence of SCD among children in India is 0.8% (95% CI: 0.6-1.0%) and that of SCT was 9.2% (95% CI: 8.5-10.0%).

Anomaly detection of industrial control systems based on transfer learning
Authors: Sujatha M. P , Kumar S. Niresh
Published: June 2022

Industrial Control Systems (ICSs) are the lifeline of a country. Therefore, the anomaly detection of ICS traffic is an important endeavor. This paper proposes a model based on a deep residual Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to prevent gradient explosion or gradient disappearance and guarantee accuracy. The developed methodology addresses two limitations: most traditional machine learning methods can only detect known network attacks and deep learning algorithms require a long time to train. The utilization of transfer learning under the modification of the existing residual CNN structure guarantees the detection of unknown attacks. One-dimensional ICS flow data are converted into two-dimensional grayscale images to take full advantage of the features of CNN. Results show that the proposed method achieves a high score and solves the time problem associated with deep learning model training. The model can give reliable predictions for unknown or differently distributed abnormal data through short-term training. Thus, the proposed model ensures the safety of ICSs and verifies the feasibility of transfer learning for ICS anomaly detection.

TRAVEL MODE CHOICE BEHAVIOR OF SCHOOL-GOING CHILDREN IN KHULNA CITY
Authors: Hossen Md. Toslim , Zaman Mahmud Uz Zaman
Published: June 2022

School-going children's trips play an essential role in transport planning. The change in transport mode choice to school might look insignificant, but it contributes to a great extent to growing transportation. Children's mode choice behavior has dramatically shifted from active modes, mainly walking, to non-active modes over the last few years. This research analyzes the influential factors affecting travel mode choice for school travelers in Khulna City. A multinomial logit model was developed for school trip makers. The results show that majority of the children ride motorized rickshaws on school trips. With the increase in travel cost and travel time, the odds of choosing the selected mode decrease. The findings revealed that female children are more likely to choose a car over other modes of transportation than male students. Children from higher-income households are more likely to use a car than any other income group. Compared to children from higher-income backgrounds, those from lower-income families were significantly more likely to walk to and from school. Regarding parents' perceptions of traffic safety, if parents perceived their neighborhood to be safe for children, children were also more likely to walk to school. The findings of this research also show that active travel, e.g., walking, is associated with the environmental characteristics (walking and safe environment, heavy traffic volume) of walking routes. This information should be taken into account when policy-making and school plans to enhance the safety of children walking to and from school.

The objectives of this investigation were to determine the effectiveness and how telephone-based diet coaching by a nurse practitioner contributed to improving dietary protein intakes in middle-aged women.Methods: Middle-aged women were recruited, and those randomized to receive nutrition education (including a protein prescription) and weekly diet coaching (focused on improving protein intake) provided weekly responses to three semi-structured interview questions. Qualitative content analysis was used to examine the responses to these questions. Dietary protein intake was analyzed at baseline and the end of the 12-week study from three 24-hour diet recalls at each time point using diet-analysis software and repeated measures analysis of variance.Results: Coached participants (n = 25) significantly increased dietary protein intake (55.3 ± 10.3 g at baseline to 83.7 ± 14.5 g/day at the end of the study); 19 of the 25 participants (76%) met their recommended dietary protein prescription by the study’s end. Three themes “Identifying Opportunities for Behavior Change”, “Beneficial Behavior Changes”, and “Tailoring Individual Interventions” were identified as a result of the coaching and led to the overarching theme “Empowered by Knowledge, Successful by Support” depicting how coaching contributed to the behavior changes.Conclusions: Nurse-led coaching is an effective approach enabling middle-aged women to improve dietary protein intake. These improvements are especially important in reducing the risk for the development of sarcopenia.

The purpose of this study is to give insights into individuals’ perceptions of blockchain technologies (BCT). A model is constructed to explore drivers of BCT use and tested empirically using structural equation modeling (SEM) to survey data. Data is collected from a sample of 300 working individuals with engineering and business backgrounds and a multi-item questionnaire is used. Results indicated that reputation affects attitude towards BCT through perceived usefulness and perceived risk and intention to do transactions via BCT can be explained by attitude towards BCT. Intention to use BCT was quite high among the respondents and interestingly their educational backgrounds did not have any effect.
CLASSIFYING ONLINE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS: A MULTIAGENT PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Yıldırım Cansu
Published: June 2022

This study conducted a content analysis of an online Turkish complaint website to classify online customer complaints about service failures in multi-agent situations of a tourism service supply chain. A total of 400 incidents were collected regarding 422 service failures. The complaints fell into four failure groups: Actual Service, Supplier’s Service, Service Provider’s Employees, and Supplier’s Employees. The findings support the previous literature in a different context by demonstrating that, within a multi-agent context, customers consider the whole service delivery experience. They may therefore integrate or transfer their emotions or behavioral attitudes from the principals (e.g., travel agencies) to agents (e.g., hotels) or vice-versa.

Published: June 2022

With the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fact that most students of all grades in Vietnam were not fully vaccinated in 2021, the students had to study online for the first semester of the school year. Therefore, the students at all levels in general and the high school students particularly had a full experience of online learning. As a consequence, the research aims to investigate the experience of the high school students in e-learning in the case of Nguyen Trai High School in Ninh Thuan Province. The data was collected via online questionnaires toward the end of the first semester of the 2021-2022 academic year to find out the e-learning experience of the students at Nguyen Trai High School in Ninh Thuan Province. 174 participants responded the online questionnaires to be involved in the study. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of students had a favorable experience with e-learning. However, there have been some drawbacks needed to be considered for further development in e-learning education at high schools.
İMAM EŞ’ARİ’NİN İMAN RİSALESİ
Authors: KESKİN Mehmet
Published: June 2022

İslam Düşünce Tarihinin en büyük ekolu olan Eş’arilik, şüphesiz imamı ve kurucusu olarak kabul edilen İmam Eş’arî’nin fikrilerinin temel alındığı bir mezheptir. Eş’arî’nin inanca dair düşünceleri içinde en dikkati çekenlerden biri de iman konusundaki görüşleri oluşturmaktadır. Ona has iman görüşü İslam düşüncesindeki iman anlayışları içinde farklı bir yere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada bu farklılıklar öne çıkarılarak İslam Mezheplerinin temel ayrılık noktalarından biri olan iman konusuna Eş’arî’nin bakışı ve onun bu konu ile ilgili telif ettiği İman Risalesi ele alınmıştır.
İmam Eş’arî yüzden fazla eser yazmış olmasına rağmen bize ulaşan ve mevcudiyeti bilinen çok az eseri vardır. Bunlardan Makâlat, el-İbâne, el-Luma’, Risale ila Ehli Sağr ve İsthisanu’l-Havd eserleri ilim dünyasında şöhret bulmuş, üzerinde çalışmalar yapılmış ve Türkçeye de çevrilip yayınlanmıştır. Adı geçen beş eser açısından durum bu iken bu makalede söz konusu edeceğimiz İman ile alakalı eseri ilim dünyasında pek şöhret bulmadığı gibi tespit edebildiğimiz kadarıyla ülkemizde üzerinde bir çalışma veya çeviri yapılmadığı gibi eserin Arapça metni de yayınlanmamıştır. Bu boşluğu doldurmak amacıyla hem Eş’arî’nin iman görüşü hem de sözü edilen eserin değerlendirilmesi ve Türkçe çeviri ile birlikte Arapça metninin de yer aldığı bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Böylece bu makale ile Eş’arî’nin mevcut eserlerinin tümünün ülkemizdeki ilim taliplerinin istifadesine sunulmasına katkı sağlanması hedeflemiştir.

Nagymágocs-Paptanya (Csongrád megye) lelőhelyen feltárt késő szarmata településről származó tégely és salakleletek komplex vizsgálata
Authors: Székely Anna Klára , Török Béla , Vörös Gabriella
Published: June 2022

1983 és 1986 között Nagymágocs-Paptanyán a Kr. u. 4. század vége és 5. század közepe közötti időszakra keltezhető, szarmata település részletét tárták fel. A település 7 objektumából eltérő szerkezetű salakmaradványok, egy helyről pedig egy salakos felületű tégely is előkerült. A tégely és a legtöbb salak, a 73. objektumból származik. A lelőhelyen nem került elő olyan egyértelműen ipari objektum, aminek tevékenysége salakképződéssel járna együtt. A vasműves/kovácsműhelyként meghatározott 73. objektum funkciójára csupán a salakleletek utalnak. Közülük összesen 8 darabot vizsgáltunk, beleértve a tégely felületére olvadt tapadványt is. Legelőször a salakokból vett minták kémiai összetételének meghatározása történt Varian 710-ES tömegspektrométerrel (ICP-OES), majd a darabokból vett újabb mintákról ezután csiszolatokat készítettünk. Ezeket EDAX energiadiszperzív (EDS) mikroszondával felszerelt Zeiss EVO MA10 pásztázó elektronmikroszkóppal (SEM) vizsgáltuk meg. Néhány mintát Bruker D8 Advance röntgen pordiffraktométerrel (XRD) is megvizsgáltunk. A minták, amelyeket a salakokból vettünk, alapvetően két csoportba oszthatók, melyekben további alcsoportok különíthetők el. A 4., 5. és 6. salakminták morfológiai sajátosságai alapján is, vélhetően vasművességi tevékenységből származnak. Kémiai összetételükben alapvetően vasoxidok, azon belül is a nagy FeO tartalom dominál. Elektronmikroszkópos vizsgálatok alapján heterogén salakszerkezetet találtunk. Mindazonáltal a SEM vizsgálatok alkalmával prizmás poligonos szerkezetet is találtunk, amely felvetette a kérdést a salak eredetét tekintve. Többek között ezért, illetve a vizsgálatok komplexitása érdekében néhány mintát röntgen-pordiffrakciós eljárással is megvizsgáltunk. A vizsgálatok összesített konklúziójaként a 4., 5. és 6. salakminták olyan vasművességhez köthető (valószínűleg kovácsoláshoz, de elméletben nem zárható ki a metallurgiai fázis sem) darabok, amelyeknek heterogén szerkezetébe a kovácstűzhely vagy kemence falából származó maradványok is keveredhettek. Az ásványtani vizsgálattal azonosított leucit például tipikusan káliumdús, szilíciumszegény olvadékból kristályosodhat ki, de lehet akár szilárd fázisú, termikus reakció eredménye is, azaz származhat huzamosabb ideig 1100-1400 oC-on használt kovácstűzhely, vagy kemence kiégett agyagából. A többi salakminta vizsgálata nem hozott olyan eredményt, amely alapján bármelyiket egyértelműen vas vagy fémművességi tevékenységhez lehetne kötni. A 73. objektumból előkerült öntőtégely több tevékenységhez kapcsolódó munkafolyamatból is származhat. A tégely oldaláról leválasztott tapadvány morfológiai sajátossága, kémiai összetétele, mikroszerkezete leginkább üvegolvasztáshoz kapcsolódó melléktermékre utal.
Development of IoT-based condition survey units to monitor salt damages on plastered and rendered surfaces
Authors: Vidovszky István , Farkas Pintér
Published: June 2022

Moisture and salt-induced damages are common problems at heritage sites and buildings. Efficient solutions for complex salt-related problems frequently require the in-situ monitoring of surface changes (i.e. the behavior of salts and moisture) along with the periodical presence of an observer on-site, which is a time-consuming procedure. In the frame of this study, two simple, automated units were developed in order to investigate the changes caused by salt crystallization on a plastered laboratory test surface and an interior masonry structure. We present the development of remotely managed, automated, single-board computer-based condition survey units and the preliminary experience obtained during the test phases under laboratory and on-site conditions. The tests showed that our low-budget systems are able to monitor the alterations on the surfaces and detecting the climatic changes during the measuring period. The comparison and correlation of climatic data and digital images allow a direct interpretation of the behavior of salts on the surface.
Investigating the provenance of Egyptian blue pigments in ancient Roman polychromy
Authors: Rodler Alexandra S. , Matthys Sarah M. , Brons Cecilie , Artioli Gilberto , Snoeck Christophe , Debaille Vinciane , Goderis Steven
Published: June 2022

Egyptian blue is a copper-based blue pigment that was widely used across the Mediterranean from ca. 3300 BC up to late antiquity and even later. For this case study, we analyzed the provenance of Egyptian blue from a Campana relief from the collection of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Denmark. Campana reliefs are terracotta plaques, which were named after the Italian collector Gampietro Campana, who published the first collection in 1851. These mould-made plaques were used as ornaments in central Italy from ca. 60 BC to 50 AD – a time when Egyptian blue production is attested at several sites in the Bay of Naples, Italy. The provenance of copper raw materials that were used for producing this pigment could provide clues about the distribution of production centers and trade contacts. A previous investigation of the provenance of a single bulk Egyptian blue sample of this artefact by Rodler et al. (2017) indicated a possible long-distance transport of (Iberian) copper ore or mixing of distant (Iberian) and Italian copper. Our new data are based on the lead isotope analysis of four individual Egyptian blue samples. The refined sampling resolution emphasizes the Italian South-Eastern Alps as the most likely source area of copper raw materials. This copper could have been processed in local Egyptian blue production workshops or brought to the contemporary Egyptian blue production hub in the Bay of Naples and transported from there to the workshop where the artefact was painted.
Középkori táblaképek dendrokronológiai vizsgálata
Authors: Grrynaeus András
Published: June 2022

A dendrokronológia, bár egy csillagász fedezte fel, a régészet segédtudományaként vált befutottá. Később a műemlékvédelmi kutatásokban is széles körben alkalmazni kezdték, a „lábon álló” források, a régi épületek faanyagának keltezéséhez. A pontossága és egyszerűsége miatt már nagyon korán felmerült az eljárás műtárgyak vizsgálatában való alkalmazásának lehetősége is. Ezek sokáig meglehetősen szűk körűek maradtak ugyanis a roncsolásos mintavétel alkalmazására nem volt lehetőség. Ezt a helyzetet változtatták meg az utolsó évtizedben megjelent, egyre jobb, azaz nagyobb felbontású és olcsóbbá váló digitális fényképezőgépek és a különféle képfeldolgozó programok. A technikai nehézségek és a hazai dendrokronológiai kutatás sokáig meglévő hiánya miatt csupán néhány műtárgyon történt a közelmúltig dendrokronológiai vizsgálat Magyarországon és ezek eredményeit sem publikálták a legtöbb esetben. 2019-ben került sor a Keresztény Múzeum táblaképeinek szisztematikus dendrokronológiai vizsgálatára. A tanulmány e kutatás módszertani tanulságait foglalja össze.
