Individual-Based Factors to Board Culture: Contributions and Detractions
Authors: Chilliak Matt
Published: October 2018

Good governance is integral to facilitating a boardroom culture that contributes to the success of an organization. Individual-based factors to good governance can include individuals’ motivations to serve on a board, why they remain on a board, and how they handle conflict within the board. These individual factors contribute to the overall group dynamic of how a board conducts itself and the success of the organization it is in charge of.
Volunteer Tourism: A Postcolonial Approach
Authors: Hanson Pastran Sasha
Published: October 2018

Volunteer tourism (“voluntourism,” for short) is an alternative form of tourism in which tourists volunteer as part of their vacation in a developing country.1 It is often marketed as a mutually beneficial form of tourism, yet debate has arisen in recent years over the validity of this assessment and over the efficacy and ethics of using voluntourism as a development tool.2 The objectives of the paper are to: 1) examine the arguments in favour of volunteer tourism and to provide the postcolonial critiques of the industry, and 2) demonstrate how voluntourists and agencies can use a postcolonial approach to challenge and transform the neocolonial relationships embedded within this form of tourism. These objectives are met by critically examining the history, scope, and debate of the voluntourism industry through a postcolonial lens and by a brief discourse analysis of two case studies.
Global Sisterhood or Global Hegemony?: A Theoretical Deconstruction of the Western-led Transnational Feminist Movement in Africa
Authors: Smith Irena Marion
Published: October 2018

Feminism, as an ideology and a movement, has for decades improved the lives of women around the globe. However, despite feminism’s essentially emancipatory role, its positive effects have not been equally felt or interpreted by all women who have come in contact with it. This paper explores transnational feminist discourses rooted in the Western world and directed at the women of Africa. It argues that when the power imbalances between Western and African women are not properly addressed, feminism can be used to shield existing and re-create harmful, colonial discourses about cultural hierarchy and normativity. It concludes that for feminism to fulfill its full and positive potential, the intersectionality of African women’s identities needs to be addressed and privileged by Western feminists.
Strength and Power Changes During an In-season Resistance Training Program for Male CIS Volleyball Players
Authors: Hillis Doug , Okrainec Matthew
Published: October 2018

Previous research has indicated that performing repetitions to failure at greater than 80% one repetition max (1 RM) one day per week using a non-­‐linear training program can maintain strength and power in many athletic populations. However, this finding has not been directly assessed in male university volleyball players. The purpose of this study was to determine if non-­‐linear training two days a week could maintain upper and lower body strength, and vertical jump power and height over the course of a competitive volleyball season, measured at three time points. Eleven trained Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) male athletes were a part of a single training group which completed a maintenance program consisting of non-­‐linear training for 17 weeks. At each testing time point, the participants completed a bench press, squat, squat jump, countermovement jump, and three step jump and reach. We predicted that non-­‐linear resistance training of mixed intensities twice a week would allow players to maintain strength, vertical jump power, and vertical jump height. Results indicated that upper body strength can be maintained over the course of a competition period with non-­‐linear resistance training (p = 0.043). Scores for lower body strength, vertical jump squat jump power, vertical jump countermovement jump power, and vertical jump height increased over the course of the season (p's < 0.001, 0.14, 0.181, and 0.006, respectively). Our results indicate that male volleyball players can benefit from non-­‐linear training to maintain or improve performance when training at > 80% 1 RM to failure once a week during a competition season.
Is that Your Final Answer: Testing Perceptual Asymmetry Biases on Responses to Likert-Scales
Authors: Poncelet Evan M.
Published: October 2018

The present study explores the effects that pseudoneglect, a perceptual asymmetry bias, has on responses to Likert-­‐scales. Pseudoneglect is the tendency for neurotypical individuals to mis-­‐bisect horizontal lines, generally erring to the left of veridical center. The present study hypothesized that a general leftward bias would be seen in participant responses to Likert-­‐scales. The study sample consisted of 20 participants (11 male, 9 female) who were tested using two versions of the National Student Survey (NSS)—an original and an altered version. A leftward bias was revealed between scale versions in two of five response categories. However, further analysis of responses that had changed between scale types was not significant. There was also no significant difference of overall satisfaction between scale versions. Although one analysis presented evidence for a leftward bias, the overall results cannot support evidence of pseudoneglect as further analyses failed to reach statistical significance. Implications for these findings and suggestions for further research are discussed.

“The Listening Posts are Certainly our Night Lights”: Canadian Trench Newspapers During the Great War
Authors: Story Eric
Published: October 2018

Living in the trenches during the First World War, Canadian soldiers experienced extreme levels of stress. There were unending days of monotony, mud craters filled with water, and food tins stuffed with all-­‐too-­‐familiar consumable goods. Soldiers responded to this seemingly unbearable environment by adopting a number of practices that helped ease the stresses of daily life. One of these practices was the publication of their very own newspapers. ‘Trench newspapers’ featured stories, poems and cartoons, laden with humour, irony and sarcasm. For its part, the 7th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force published its own newspaper called The Listening Post. This essay examines the eighth edition of The Listening Post, published in November 1915, to shed light upon soldier culture during the Great War. The essay reveals that trench newspapers provided soldiers with an invaluable means of dealing with life in the trenches.
The Cult of Quality: White Eugenics and Black Responses in the United States, 1900-1934
Authors: Ginther Matthew Aron
Published: October 2018

This paper focuses on the theory of eugenics and how it was adopted and subverted by black intellectual figures when institutionalized sterilizations were based upon class. The cornerstone of the eugenics theory was based in biological determinism and assumptions of genetic heritability. For black leaders, W.E.B. Du Bois in particular, the early plight for racial legitimacy rested on eugenics and, while morally questionable, strengthening the black community was an attempt to counteract white assumptions. Thus,‘black eugenics’ should not immediately be condemned as an outright failure but should be regarded as an earnest attempt for civil rights. As such, it should not be forgotten and should be recognized as part of the broader framework for African American liberation.
Men’s Construction of Media Impact on Male Body Image in the Context of Heterosexual Romantic Relationships
Authors: Baker Meaghan Beck , Allen Kurtis John , Qiao Qingqi Thomas
Published: October 2018

Research has shown that men, like women, are negatively affected by idealized media portrayals. However, there are few qualitative studies that have examined this issue, leaving the literature impoverished of the meaning of male body image to men. Specifically, there is a lack of discursive inquiry. Since romantic relationships provide a unique context for body image construction, the current study examines the ways in which men in relationships linguistically construct and negotiate the media’s influence on their own body image. Three interviews and a focus group of two men in heterosexual relationships were employed to explore this topic. Our results show that, while men speak of a negative influence of media on their body image, they do so in such a way that is adaptive and creates protective barriers between the self and the media’s messages. These strategies, which at times utilize relationship status, allow participants to construct general, albeit sometimes reluctant, satisfaction with their bodies. These findings, while largely concurring with previous literature, add caveats and may reconcile disparate results from past research by identifying contradictory constructions of media influence on males in heterosexual relationships.
Visualizing relationships in interdisciplinary research with Geographic Information Systems: A case study utilizing food security research in Sahelian West Africa
Authors: Minielly Colin Michael , Rehman Danish , Bachmann Erika , Natcher David , Peak Derek , Yates Tom
Published: October 2018

Achieving food security in the semi-arid region of West Africa remains challenging, primarily due to a combination of harsh climate and low soil fertility. The University of Saskatchewan, in partnership with many international organizations, has been researching solutions to increase the profitability of smallholder farmers in the region. This joint partnership aims at improving soil fertility for smallholder farming in Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger.  Data have been collected in eight different research sites, and include rainwater harvesting, crop yields, and soil samples.  The data have a timeframe ranging from one year to many years. Prior to the University of Saskatchewan’s commitment to the project, research data had only been utilized on a local  scale, with relatively low success in sharing results and findings across national borders.With this project, collaboration occurred among multiple researchers from different countries and disciplines. A new technique used for collaboration was an interactive Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database. GIS has proven to be a powerful tool and platform for analysing and disseminating research data. This geospatial analysis laid the foundation for further research, resulting in a robust examination of soil and socioeconomic data from overseas.
The Placebo Effect: A Neurobiological Review
Authors: Lorentz Eric
Published: October 2018

The placebo effect is currently understood as a psychosocial and neurobiological interaction in which individuals’ expectation of effective treatment initiates a biological response to facilitate symptomatic relief. In this review, the literature describing the placebo effect in experimental and clinical pain is synthesized. The various methods of inducing placebo, including verbal suggestion, social cues, expectancy manipulations, open/hidden administration, and classical conditioning are included. Both opioid and non-opioid placebo mechanisms are explored based on studies using naloxone and proglumide to investigate opioid presence. Finally, an overview of neuroimaging studies is presented in which positron emission tomography, event-related potential, and functional magnetic resonance imaging findings are discussed. Conclusions and implications of the studies reviewed are presented at the end.
Why big cats are at high risk of extinction due to their exceptional predatory abilities. What conservation strategies are needed?
Authors: Bjordal Megan D
Published: October 2018

Cats have highly specialized physical adaptations for hypercarnivory, placing them among the most feared predators. Unique adaptations include strong skulls, sharp teeth, agile and muscular limbs, a taste only for meat, and hyper-retractable claws. These predator adaptations, which characterize the family Felidae, put Felids at high risk of human conflicts. Nearly all of the big cats have threatened or near threatened conservation statuses and 29 of the 37 Felidae species have decreasing population trends. Conservation strategies that consider the large habitats and herbivores required for these specialized predators are needed.
Perceived Stress Levels and Support of Student Disability Services
Authors: Ardell Sarah , Beug Peter , Hrudka Kayla
Published: October 2018

Perceived stress of university students tends to be higher for students with disabilities compared to students without disabilities. Students with disabilities may therefore require campus support to manage additional stress they encounter. The current study investigated the relationship between students’ perceived stress levels and enrollment in university campus Disability Services for Students (DSS). Three groups of university students were studied: those without disabilities (n = 42), those with disabilities registered with DSS (n = 21), and those with disabilities not registered with DSS (n = 23). Three hypotheses were tested. First, students with disabilities would have higher overall perceived stress levels compared to students without disabilities. Second, students with disabilities who were not registered with DSS would experience a higher level of perceived stress compared to students with disabilities who were registered with DSS. Third, students with disabilities registered with DSS would have a similar level of perceived stress to students without disabilities. Student participants completed an online self-report survey containing the Perceived Stress Scale(Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). A one-way analysis of variance was conducted to investigate potential differences in perceived stress levels between the three groups. The results indicated that students with disabilities reported higher levels of stress compared to their peers without disabilities, yet DSS had no significant effect on perceived stress among students with disabilities. With these findings, we suggest that further research on the relationship between DSS and other academic factors, such as students’ grade point average, should be conducted.
The Socio-Political History of China’s Three Gorges Dam
Authors: Beckett Caitlynn Lindsay
Published: October 2018

Around the world, the construction of large-scale dams has become a controversial environmental issue. A significant example of such a dam is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China. The Yangtze River, considered the cradle of Chinese civilization, has fundamentally shaped Chinese livelihood, culture, transportation, and agriculture. Despite international and local dissent, as of 2012, the Three Gorges Dam has become a reality. Having fundamentally altered the river system, the biodiversity of the area is now threatened by flooded habitats upstream, drought downstream and a change in nutrient distribution. However, to better understand the reasoning behind the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, a deeper historical, cultural and political basis needs to be recognized. This paper will investigate how the specific history of China has led to the construction of the Dam. Throughout the 20th century, political leaders envisioned the Dam as a symbol of Chinese industrialization and modernization. Ironically, it was considered the ultimate achievement in China’s development. Communist views of mastery over nature played an important role in such political views. These views are not limited to China; the idea that humans should control nature for economic benefit is still evident throughout the world. Beyond the context of China, the Three Gorges Dam is a symbol of the larger systems that value economic benefit and industrialization over a sustainable environment.
Exercise-Induced Improvements in Cognitive Functioning and Brain Structure in Older Adults
Authors: Bartel Sara
Published: October 2018

Physical activity is often associated with benefits such as reduced risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease; however, the benefits of physical activity are not only limited to physical health, but also extend to cognition (Warburton, Nicol & Bredin, 2006). Exercise in older populations results in improved cognitive functioning and decreased risk of cognitive decline (Muscari et al., 2010). This current literature review examines the association between physical activity and cognitive functioning in older adults. Studies suggest that a variety of types of exercise have cognitive benefits, although it is not clear which type of activity has the largest effect. Additionally, exercise increases total brain volume and the connectivity of neural networks in areas such as the hippocampus, and decreases the presence of white matter hyperintensities in areas involved in motor control and coordination (Erickson et al., 2010; Tseng et al., 2013). Taken together, the research indicates that physical activity improves cognitive functioning and causes exercise-induced changes in the brain. Limitations of the reviewed research include a lack of generalizable results due to a lack of diversity of samples, as well as the presence of cross-sectional designs that are unable to define the direction of the relationship between exercise and cognition. Future research should investigate the inconsistencies reported in the literature with the goal of developing programs to improve cognitive function in older populations and to reduce the burden of cognitive impairment on the health care system.

Workplace decision-making in the trades: Impact of masculine attitudes
Authors: Jaeb Leanne , Parker Evan , Black Courtney , Cooper Karissa
Published: October 2018

The majority of existing research on gender in the trades focuses on the personal experiences of women working in the trades. As the trades are still male dominated, the present study investigated tradesmen’s adherence to male role norms in relation to workplace safety behaviours and perceptions of co-worker competence.  Participants were presented with a vignette that depicted a common, yet potentially unsafe, workplace task in which either a male or female hypothetical coworker was available to assist. Next, participants completed questions pertaining to the safety situation outlined in the vignette. Participants also completed questionnaires pertaining to the safety situation outlined in the vignette. Participants also completed questionnaires of adherence to male role norms, neosexist beliefs, perceptions of their actual male and female co-workers' abilities, and attitudes toward workplace safety. Results indicated that participants showed no gender bias when selecting a hypothetical helper in the situation; rather, adherence to safety protocls appeared to take precedence. Further analaysis revealed that for participants assigned to a vignette featuring a hypothetical male co-worker, there was a negative correlation between strength of adherence to male role norms and perceptions of actual female co-workers' general workplace abilities. For participants assigned to a vignette featuring a hypthetical male co-worker, there was a negative correlation between strength of adherence to male role norms and perceptions of actual co-workers' general safety behaviours on a job site. Possible reasons for these findings, limitations of this study, and future research directions are discussed.
pH Testing as the Primary Method for Nasogastric Tube Placement Verification
Authors: Olson Kira Marie
Published: October 2018

The placement of a nasogastric tube is a common intervention completed by nurses in the clinical setting. Correct placement of a nasogastric tube is critical for treatment and patient outcomes. There are many reasons for a nasogastric tube insertion and many methods of placement verification, but the two most common ways of assessing nasogastric tube placement are auscultation and pH testing. There are advantages and disadvantages to both the auscultation and the pH testing methods. The auscultation method is currently the method most commonly used in practice. However, the overall research analysis clearly suggests that the pH testing method is the most accurate and is accompanied by positive patient outcomes. Study limitations included small sample sizes and were often located outside of Canada, but all studies presented similar evidence in regards to auscultation versus pH testing. Finally, based on the analysis of the evidence, recommendations are made and barriers to implementation are outlined for practice regarding the implementation of the pH method.
Does High Intensity Interval Training Improve Aerobic Power Development More Than Endurance Training?
Authors: Jabbal Arjun Singh , Baxter-Jones Adam
Published: October 2018

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) increases VO2 max more so than to endurance training (ET).  It is hypothesized that at the end of a 4-week training program, the HIIT group will have a higher average improved VO2 max percentage than the ET group. Recruited participants, 12 males, aged 18-35 completed a baseline VO2 max test followed by an intervention and then a post VO2 max test. Participants were randomly assigned to either HIIT or ET, 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. At baseline mean VO2 max for ET (n=6) was 48.2 ml/min/kg compared to a mean VO2 max of 51.7ml/min/kg in the HIIT (n=6) group. Post training test VO2 max for ET (n=6) was 48.9ml/min/kg compared to a mean VO2 max of 52.4ml/min/kg in the HIIT group (n=4). There was a 3.4% improvement in VO2 max in the HIIT group (n=4), while the ET group (n=6) had a 1.7% improvement in VO2 max. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) in height, weight, age, and VO2 max between the two groups in the baseline or post test. There were no significant differences in height, age, and VO2 max for either of the groups from the post test compared to the baseline test. Moreover, there were no significant differences in height, age, and VO2 max for either of the groups from the post-test compared to the baseline test. The data suggests a promising trend that HIIT training may be better for improving aerobic power than ET.
Examining Patterns of Food Exchange and Dependency at Moose Fort, 1783-1785
Authors: Ruten Daniel
Published: October 2018

Many historians studying the fur trade have argued or assumed that Indigenous peoples swiftly became dependent on the fur trading posts in North America for their survival. In order to gain insight into native-newcomer relations but also particuarly to address the question of dependency, this paper examines patterns of food exchange between Hudson’s Bay Company men employed at Moose Fort and the James Bay Cree homeguard that lived near the Fort from October 1783 to September 1785. It finds that the flow of foodstuffs from Indigenous peoples to Moose Fort greatly outweighed the flow of food from the Fort to Iindigenous peoples. Furthermore, this paper will argue that the traders of Moose Fort were consistently reliant upon these provisions supplied by Indigenous hunters, trappers and fishers, as periods when most Indigenous providers were absent from the area resulted in conditions of food crises at the Fort. Thus, the relations of food exchange at Moose Fort provided mutual benefits to both parties, but it was ultimately the Fort itself that was much more dependent upon this relationship. Overall, this evidence calls for more nuanced and less one-sided theoretical models of dependency in the history of the fur trade.
Peace is on the Ballot: The Politicization of the Colombian Peace Talks
Authors: Hayes John P.
Published: October 2018

On October 2nd 2016, Colombian voters rejected a referendum on the peace agreement between the federal government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). Contrary to most advance polling and preliminary estimates in national and international news media, the “No” vote won by a tight margin, thus rejecting a peace deal that would have brought an end to the longest civil war in the Western hemisphere. This paper examines the intersections of civil society and the political groups most actively involved in the peace process in Colombia, beginning in the 1980s and leading to the 2016 referendum. The findings are two-fold: first, civil society has played an integral role in both the endurance and the hindrance of the peace process from its beginnings in 1980s up to the present day, through electoral support of independent candidates and by mobilization of special interest groups. Second, the 2016 referendum results share exceptional demographic and geographic correlations with the results of the 2014 presidential election. This suggests the peace referendum was highly politicized and split along the lines of partisanship at the highest echelons of Colombian democracy.

Synthesis of hybrid materials based on poly(3-hexylthiophen) and modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes
Authors: Vu Tong Hue , Nguyen Nguyet Thi Minh , Le Thang Van
Published: October 2018

In this study, we reported a new method to synthesize hybrid materials from P3HT and modified MWNTs through SN 2 mechanism using a catalytic system of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF (TBAF/THF). Experimental results obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Raman spectra and sedimentation test confirmed the core-shell structure of the grafted P3HT/MWCNTs. The hybrid material was higher soluble in organic solvents (stable for more than 6 weeks) as well as better thermal stability than P3HT/MWNTs composite.
КОНЦЕПЦИЯ СМЕХА В ФИЛОСОФИИ ПРАГМАТИЗМА
Authors: Жарких В. Ю.
Published: October 2018

The paradox in the title can be explained by the seeming in compatability of laughter and philosophy, since there appears to be little in common between fundamental problems of philosophy and a fleeting, emotional and situational outburst of laughter.This paradox becomes less unexpected if viewed through the context of interrelation between philosophy and linguistics as was suggested by early pragmatists. Their postulates were developed in the theory of the so called «linguistic turn», within which this interrelation became the most important methodological concept. It postulated that thought is objectivizedin the process of social usage of language. Its rules are regulated by the consensus of the language community as to what is right / wrong concerning language rules / norms and validity of truth criteria of judgments and statements.No less significant is the cognitive value of the seme and the frequency of its usage. The more the seme is needed, the more plastic it becomes within the semantic triangle where it functions. Since there is no absolute coincidence in similar life situations, verbal symbols expressing ideas, things, phenomena, often tend to be used in a transferred sense to better express the unique character of a given reality.Cognitive change and mobility in the semantic structure of the word laughter is a good example of this tendency. In Rodale thesaurus itsseme is realized in 29 verbal symbols. The seme of humor, correlated with it, is expressed in 183 verbal units. If to add to them cognitively kindred semes – fun, joviality, gaiety, hilarity, mirth – together with their synonyms and derivatives – the number of verbal units will grow immensely. This wide choice of ways to express a notion shows its cognitive importance. Laughter as a purely human feature is indispensible for understanding human life and thus acquires a deep philosophical significance.   Classical pragmatists, W. James, J. Dewey, F. C. S. Schiller, to name only a few, considered laughter as a handy and useful tool by means of which man can determine the difference between good and bad. He can do it by referring to the wealth of his native language and by using it to understand and make himself understood.
ІСТОРИКО-АНТРОПОЛОГІЧНА ПАРАДИГМА ОСМИСЛЕННЯ ФЕНОМЕНА ПУБЛІЧНОСТІ
Authors: Васильєва Л. А.
Published: October 2018

The article considers the main historical stages of the formation of the publicity phenomenon and reflects its anthropological manifestations. The author proves that the publicity phenomenon belongs to ambiguous, widely used, but always problematic concepts of socio-human discourse, since the limits of its understanding are blurred, modified and changed. Nowadays, the notion of publicity is a part of such complex phenomena as politics, society, communication, somatic being of a man, etc.The historical and anthropological analysis of the publicity phenomenon made it possible to highlight its main paradigms: antique, publicity of the Roman time and the Middle Ages, publicity of the Renaissance, Enlightenment, Modern times, and the place of a public-person in certain socio-political formations. It was proved that the main component of the initial forms of the phenomenon of publicity is its sporadic representativeness.Thanks to the Internet and virtuality the public-person got wider opportunities for quick and free communications. He or she became more independent and unbiased in terms of their own manifestation of publicity towards the specific social environment. He or she got the unbreakable right to choose how widely to shift the boundaries of their non-publicity / privacy. But on the other hand, the public-person became more dependent on the «dual sign of the modern social and communicative space», where the valuable modifications of the identities are happening all the time.It can be argued that in today’s socio-cultural space a peculiar cult of publicity and public-person is forming. Self-praise, self-proclamation, and self-advertisement are becoming more and more valuable. Such behavior should be considered as a desire to immensely satisfy his or her own «ego», self-representation as a commodity in the «market of personalities», which can be exchanged for various social benefits.

In modern design practice lighting plays an important role. Lighting means intensification of visual and psychological effect of museum exposition. Light plays an active role in perception of exhibit, revealing its shape, texture and color. Natural light is used to create a broad background, and artificial – to focus attention on specific information. The best way is the combination of artificial and natural light. This balance is possible due to technological achievement. New ways of lighting create the conditions for better preservation of objects.Lighting techniques give the possibility to make the exposure dynamic, without resorting to mechanical kinematic schemes. Since the motion of light attracts the attention of the viewer more than the movement of objects, this fact became the basis for development of a number of interesting schemes of dynamic lighting. Stands and showcases with dynamic illumination leave a brighter footprint in memory.The choice of the lighting system is closely linked with the architecture of the museum building and with the system of museum lighting (natural, artificial and combined). In this case, it is necessary to take into account the complexity of specifics of the museum exposition – the need to create the best illumination of exhibits and at the same time to protect them from the harmful effects of light rays. Lighting systems are based on the composition and properties of exhibited museum objects and the acceptable level of lighting for various categories of exhibits.Artificial lighting must be carried out mainly by sources of light, whose radiation in the spectrum is close to the daytime. For illumination special lighting fittings, which are usually hidden from visitors (behind suspended ceilings, embedded in furniture or exhibition equipment) should be used.Nowadays there is a wide arsenal of lighting means aimed to increase the visual and psychological effect of museum exposition, various types of lighting fixtures and lamps used to illuminate expositions. Among the lighting products, the leading role belongs to LED technologies. These technologies are characterized by qualities that are decisive in the organization of the museum environment. This is the ability to give white light to each exhibit, high light output at low power consumption, fire safety, the possibility of tape mounting of light sources, the implementation of programmable light scenarios with a change in color gamut. The latest technologies in lighting systems play an important role in design of museum exposition.

In the paper, the intelligent fish tank using STC89C52 as the control core embedded HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance measurement module and DS18B20 temperature sensor is introduced. This system can be used to remotely control and collect the data of the temperature and the level of water in the fish tank through WiFi module (ESP8266-01). When the water level is less than the default value, the system will be adjusted by adding water into the tank. At the same time, people could also get the data and control the tank whenever they want. The micro-controller is connected to the Internet through the WiFi module. With the help of MicroPython firmware, python programs are compiled within this WiFi module in order to connect to the WiFi at home, providing data transfer function. Android smart phones could connect to this system through WiFi and send commands. In this way, the fish tank could be controlled remotely to ensure the stability of the water temperature and level in the tank.

Based on previous research it was found that lemea (traditional food rejang) was proven to contain 2 types of lactic acid bacteria (BAL) namely L.aplantarum C410L1 and L. crossiae LS6 which could be probiotic and beneficial for health. The development of lemea as a potential probiotic must be proven its resistance to bile acids and salts as an indication of being able to survive in the gastrointestinal tract. This study aims to determine the resistance of BAL isolated from lemea against low pH, bile acids, and temperature. This research is an experimental study with all research units controlled. Analysis of BAL resistance to high temperatures, low pH, and bile salts was carried out in the Bengkulu Polytechnic Health Polytechnic laboratory. The total BAL colonies increased at 49 ° C and decreased at 64 ° C. The increase in the total number of BAL colonies within 0-30 hours occurred at pH 5 and pH 6. There was no increase or decrease in the total number of BAL colonies in salts 0.30%, 0.60%, and 0.90%. The diisolate lactic acid (BAL) bacteria from lemea have a temperature resistance of 42 ° C to 64 ° C, pH 2 to pH 7, have a salt resistance concentration of 0.30% to 0.90%. Lactic acid bacteria (BAL) which are diisolate from lemea have the potential as probiotics.
