A two-nation Asian phenomenological study: Roles and purposes of graduate journalism education through the lens of global journalism
Authors: Opiniano Jeremaiah M.
Published: December 2017

This phenomenological study sought to describe the essence of the roles and purposes of graduate journalism education through the eyes of 16 Asian students from three graduate journalism schools in Japan and the Philippines. This article is anchored in the theory of reflective practice. Responses of students produced a Bridge of Traits of Graduate Journalism Education that illustrates these roles and purposes of graduate studies. This Bridge of Traits also entered into the theory-and-practice discussions, not to mention that this bridge represents respondents’ efforts to connect their personal, academic and professional milieus and aspirations as journalists. Making these connections is done within the realm of journalism’s theory-practice continuum, which, as respondents surprisingly articulated, is important, complementary and applicable. Respondents’ views offer hope that university-based journalism programmes can run viable graduate journalism programmes implementing several elements in pedagogy and substance that espouse a spirit of critical reflective practice in journalists. They aspire to new perspectives and approaches in the teaching, study and practice of journalism.

EDITORIAL: Pacific media advocacy
Authors: Robie David
Published: December 2017

IN SAMOA during July 2015, a new Pacific journalism education and training advocacy era was born with the establishment of the Media Educators Pacific (MEP) after a talkfest had gone on for years about the need for such a body. A draft constitution had even been floated at a journalism education conference hosted at the University of the South Pacific in 2012. The initiative created unity of sorts between the Technical, Vocational and Educational Training (TVET) media institutes from Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, and the regional University of the South Pacific journalism programme. Founding president Misa Vicky Lepou of the National University of Samoa pledged at the time to produce a vision with a difference:
New Zealand media camouflage political lobbying
Authors: Strong Catherine , Tyler Fran
Published: December 2017

Political lobbyists are a part of government decision-making processes, and many countries have stringent regulations to ensure their activities are somewhat transparent, especially as some use ethically questionable tactics. In New Zealand, however, there are no similar legislative regulations and lobbyists can stay undetected while trying to influence policymaking.  More concerning, however, is that the results of this study indicates that lobbyists are also able to skirt around scrutiny in New Zealand media because of current journalism practices.  This research’s content analysis indicates the media neglects to identify lobby organisations, thereby allowing them to operate without detection of their agenda, leaving the public unaware of who is influencing decision makers.

As doenças crônicas se estabelecem como um problema de saúde pública internacional, em especial no Brasil. Plantas medicinais têm sido largamente usadas para tratar tais doenças, porém, sem os devidos cuidados, seu uso pode causar intoxicação e até a morte. Trata-se de um estudo de campo, descritivo e quantitativo, que objetivou investigar, listar e realizar a identificação botânica das plantas medicinais mais utilizadas pelos moradores de São Luís, para o tratamento da Hipertensão, Diabetes, Asma e Obesidade. Os dados das indicações foram obtidos após visitas às principais feiras da cidade de São Luís. Após o levantamento das sete plantas mais indicadas para cada patologia, as mesmas foram compradas e armazenadas na forma de exsicatas para sua póstuma identificação botânica, para saber se estas correspondiam ao que era comercializado pelos feirantes. Observou-se que apenas a parte que a qual era atribuída à ação farmacológica, era vendida, fator que impossibilitou a identificação botânica, levantando à discussão sobre os perigos da venda destes produtos. Foi feita ampla busca em periódicos científicos com os nomes populares das plantas informadas pelos feirantes, com o intuito de verificar sua eficácia no tratamento das doenças, sendo verificado que todas elas apresentavam eficácia comprovada. O presente estudo proveu maiores informações sobre os hábitos de consumo de plantas medicinais dos moradores de São Luís, assim como seus riscos e benefícios. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Plantas Medicinais; Doenças Crônicas; Fitoterapia.

Authors: Benli Hakan
Published: December 2017

The aim of this study was to investigate some chemical characteristics and residual nitrite and nitrate levels of sucuk and salami samples collected from retail outlets of major supermarkets in Adana province. A total of 36 sucuk samples (12 brands; 7 national and 5 local producers) and 30 salami samples (10 brands; Macar salamis) were purchased from local markets. Sucuk and salami samples were analyzed for pH value, moisture content, water activity and nitrite and nitrate contents. The average pH values of sucuk samples ranged between 4.69 and 6.56 indicating a higher variation while the average pH values of salami samples ranged between 6.05 and 6.43. Likewise, the average moisture contents of sucuk samples were between 33.56% and 46.78% whereas the average moisture contents of salami samples ranged between 62.09% and 67.91% indicating a relatively lower variation. Water activity values of the sucuk samples were between 0.932 and 0.861 while the average aw values of the salami samples ranged between 0.916 and 0.940. Among the sucuk samples analyzed in the present study mean nitrite and nitrate contents ranged from 58.65 mg/kg to 216.63 mg/kg and 34.86 mg/kg to 161.08 mg/kg, respectively. While relatively lower nitrite (14.30 mg/kg - 35.96 mg/kg) and no nitrate contents were observed in salami samples, the data indicated that a higher variation of both nitrite and nitrate contents were still present in sucuk samples in the local markets requiring more studies and inspections to lower the variation related to dietary exposure to nitrite and nitrite from these types of products.

Authors: Mayanja Ibarahim , Tipi Tolga
Published: December 2017

This study focuses on empowering women both in peri-urban and rural areas through mushroom production. It was conducted in Kampala Metropolitan area-Uganda, during October 2016. It focused on estimating profits, conducting benefit-cost analysis/ratio (BCR) and return on investment (ROI), finding reasons as to why women involved in the mushroom production and identifying the constraints of mushroom farming from the perspective of women as well as the possible solutions to the constraints. 29 women were interviewed face to face through the use of the questionnaires. The study revealed an average net profit of 3,464.28 US dollars, BCR of 3.84 and ROI of 2.84 per farm in a period of three months. Our study revealed that mushroom production is a profitable enterprise for women. The major reason for women to involve in mushroom was to earn income. However, a range of other reasons was given such as fast maturity of mushrooms, availability of market, healthy benefits of mushrooms, etc. were the most important reasons. The problems faced by women farmers were ranked from the most pressing problem to the least pressing problem in this order; Low market prices per kilogram of mushroom, scarcity of cotton during some seasons, poor quality mushroom spawn supplied to farmers by breeders, inadequate extension, and advisory services were the most observed problems among others. The suggested solutions were organizing farmers into groups or cooperatives in order to negotiate for better markets locally and abroad together with the help of government, researchers to carry out more research on the suitability of other substrates like bagasse other than relying on only cotton, ensuring that mushroom spawn breeders conform to the set standards of quality spawn production and re-equipping local extension workers with knowledge regarding mushroom production among others.

The article presents the results of timely diagnosis and successful surgical treatment of the patient with intrauterine device (IUD) migrated into the pelvic cavity. The period of IUD implantation lasted 10 days. Hospital visit was caused by increasing of the pain intensity in small pelvis and the appearance of dysuric phenomena. Ultrasound investigation detected that the migration of the intrauterine device occurred through the left fallopian tube. The end of the intrauterine device thread was located in the lumen of the left fallopian tube. Ultrasound signs of the IUD were manifested by hyperechoic and relatively long structure with the acoustic shadows. The IUD was not detected in the uterine cavity during gynecological examination. For more accurate topical diagnosis of the migrated IUD the patient underwent radiography of the abdominal cavity and small pelvis and the dislocation of the IUD was confirmed. The surgery of the patient was performed through laparoscopic approach. The intraoperative complications were not detected. The surgery lasted for 35 minutes. The drainage tube was removed on the second postoperative day. Antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and spasmolytics were prescribed to the patient postoperatively. The length of hospital stay was 4 days. Follow-up period in one and three months determined a lack of any complaints in the patient.
La etnia y el género en relatos de mujeres profesionales e intelectuales mapuche: Tradición y emancipación
Authors: Boitano Angela
Published: December 2017

En torno a estas tres interrogantes se estructura este texto: ¿Potenciar una agenda de género es contraproducente cuando un sujeto político es marcado por la categoría “etnia”? Cuando las demandas son étnicas, culturalistas, o identitarias ¿implican siempre una revalorización de la tradición que sitúa a las mujeres en lugares desaventajados o subordinados? ¿La agenda autonomista recoge la diversidad del mundo indígena? También se hace una breve referencia a los aspectos metodológicos de la investigación que inspira este texto. Finalmente se deja planteada una reflexión en torno a la figura del intelectual indígena. La relevancia de esta discusión se explica por un contexto sociopolítico que vive el movimiento indígena en Chile: una “reemergencia” que se advierte crecientemente a partir de los años 90. Es una situación en la cual ciertas demandas ancladas territorialmente han permeado otras esferas de la vida de un grupo tan heterogéneo como dinámico y en cuyo escenario se ha bosquejado una identidad mapuche que se construye en el terreno de la resistencia y que, por lo mismo, experimenta todo tipo de tensiones y potencia la construcción de agendas controversiales. Una de las figuras que encarna esta resistencia es la del intelectual indígena.
Sumak Kawsay as an Element of Local Decolonization in Ecuador
Authors: Altmann Philipp
Published: December 2017

The concept of sumak kawsay, buen vivir or “good life”—in Bolivia, suma qamaña, or vivir bien—has been widely diffused on an international level since the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly in 2007–2008 and the Bolivian one in 2006–2009. Good life has been understood as an alternative to capitalist modernizing development that is based on the indigenous ideal of harmony between individual, society, and nature. Nevertheless, in the usage of the indigenous movement, which initiated the diffusion of this concept, good life is a local and territorial conception of a lifestyle. While this notion of locality is largely ignored or invisibilized by the Ecuadorian government and by nonindigenous intellectuals, and to some degree even by national indigenous organizations, local indigenous organizations integrated good life into their discourse of territorial autonomy in a pluralist state. Good life allows for local decolonialization, a concrete and local fight against the structures of “the coloniality of power” framed within a discursive panorama that includes concepts of plurality and autonomy. This text analyzes sumak kawsay as a key concept of local decolonialization, emphasizing its relation to similar concepts and the differences in its usage by different actors.
Love for the Land: Remittances and Care in a Nicaraguan Transnational Community
Authors: Fouratt Caitlin E.
Published: December 2017

Despite renewed interest in Central American migration, little attention has been devoted to understanding the diversity of migration pathways within the region. This article explores the tensions in the complicated connections between migration, land, consumption, and love in the case of migration between Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Based on interviews and ethnographic observations with members of transnational families in Achuapa, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, I examine how migrants and nonmigrants talk about remittances to make arguments about both abandonment and connection—that is, love for the land and people. Houses and land mediate local understandings of both the absence and presence of migrants in Achuapa. However, those who send and receive remittances, women and men, and young people and old all understand the relationships between migration and care or abandonment differently. At the community level, discourses around remittances tie in to nation-building projects through the resurgence of revolutionary discourses of solidarity under the Sandinistas. In this context, migration has become a new way for poor Nicaraguans to participate in the global economy and care for loved ones, even as it threatens nationalist longings for solidarity.

The work on identification and state registration of the book monuments is one of priority directions of the state cultural policy of Russia. Every year beginning with 2010 in the Russian state library there is held the All-Russian meeting on work with book monuments to discuss topical issues of revealing, recording and preserving the most valuable part of the national library holdings of the country. The meeting was attended by the heads and experts of the government authorities, federal and regional libraries and museums. The central theme of the meeting in 2015 was presentation of book monuments in the electronic environment as a way of organizing their accessibility to today’s readers and ensuring their preservation for future generations. A separate group of presentations was devoted to the development of the all-Russian Corpus of Book Monuments. Via video link the meeting was attended by the representatives of the National library of Belarus. The Republic of Belarus, next to Russia, proceeds to identification and state registration of book monuments.

Published: December 2017

One of the important issues being actively discussed at the international and national conferences is determination of the economic essence of basic categories related to the library services. The article considers economic nature of library services as public goods, describes classification of library services (by the level of competitive performance of consumption and the principle of excludability; by the level of use of information and communication technologies; by the form of ownership of manufacturer), shows the active efforts of public libraries in the market of goods and services as real competitors to private entrepreneurs providing market services. The article considered the process of diversification, penetration into the Russian market of library services of publishers, archives and other organizations by means of creation of pure public goods. Special attention is paid to the goods temporarily not belonging to the pure public goods.

The arrangement of nanoscale building blocks into patterns with microscale periodicity is challenging to achieve via self-assembly processes. Here, we report on the phase transition-driven collective assembly of gold nanoparticles in a thermotropic liquid crystal. A temperature-induced transition from the isotropic to the nematic phase leads to the assembly of individual nanometre-sized particles into arrays of micrometre-sized aggregates, whose size and characteristic spacing can be tuned by varying the cooling rate. This fully reversible process offers hierarchical control over structural order on the molecular, nanoscopic, and microscopic level and is an interesting model system for the programmable patterning of nanocomposites with access to micrometre-sized periodicities.
