Published: December 2022

Abstract. Deep learning algorithms have shown incredible potential in many applications. The success of these data-hungry methods is largely associated with the availability of large-scale data sets, as millions of observations are often required to achieve acceptable performance levels. Recently, there has been an increased interest in applying deep learning methods to geophysical applications where electromagnetic methods are used to map the subsurface geology by observing variations in the electrical resistivity of the subsurface materials. To date, there are no standardized datasets for electromagnetic methods, which hinders the progress, evaluation, benchmarking, and evolution of deep learning algorithms due to data inconsistency. Therefore, we present a large-scale electrical resistivity model database of a wide variety of geologically plausible and geophysically resolvable subsurface structures for the commonly deployed ground-based and airborne electromagnetic systems. The presented database can potentially be used to build surrogate models of well-known processes and aid in labour intensive tasks. The geophysically constrained property of this database will not only achieve enhanced performance and improved generalization but, more importantly, it will incorporate consistency and credibility in deep learning models. We show the effectiveness of the presented database by surrogating the forward modelling process, and urge the geophysical community interested in deep learning for electromagnetic methods to utilize the presented database. The dataset is publically available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7260886 (Asif et al., 2022a).

Economic Integration in South Asia: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Shahid Tanweer , Ahmad Azhar
Published: December 2022

Regional economic integration stimulates cooperation to uplift socio-economic quality of a region. Although economic integration may, sometimes, result in lesser independence of states, the benefits often outweigh the limitations. Despite encouraging growth in South Asia (pre-Covid-19 period), its contribution in global GDP remains minimal. Trust deficit, reluctance of states, political and security issues, lack of sustaining infrastructure, are some factors affecting gainful integration. Regional economic integration, nevertheless, offers exciting prospects to synergise mutual comparative advantages, trade and commercial gains, investment opportunities in other states. This paper analysis various initiatives within the South Asian region and their impact on regional integration. The pandemic of Covid-19 has worsened socioeconomic predicament and trade transactions in the region. Given the socio-economic and poverty issues, SAARC integration can aid in political stability, socio-economic development thus ensuring overall growth of the region and individual countries.
A Scan of Ontario Cities’ COVID-19 Policies and their Impacts on People Living in Homelessness
Authors: May Kayla , Shelley Jacob
Published: December 2022

This article summarizes findings from a scan of COVID-19 policies in Ontario that impact individuals experiencing homelessness. We collected and analyzed policy data between March 2020 and August 2020, from 10 cities, including all municipal-level restrictions and public health measures implemented in response to COVID-19. From our scan, we found that 161 policies had direct or indirect implications for people living in homelessness. These policies were organized into categories that describe ‘where’ effects were seen – which most often relate to requirements for physical distancing. Some of the most obvious impacts relate to reduced access to needed services and supports in light of non-essential business closures and other service disruptions. Other key impacts relate to the use of public spaces during the pandemic - including access to sanitation facilities, encampment bylaws, changes to public transit services, quarantine and isolation mandates, and the impact of a province-wide stay-at-home order.
Overall, in reviewing local responses to the pandemic, it is critical to consider the disproportionate impacts of restrictive public health measures on already marginalized groups and continue to learn about strategies that aim to protect all members of society.
Water and dreams
Authors: Webb Jen , Webb Lorraine
Published: December 2022

This essay explores dreams and dreaming with reference to Gaston Bachelard’s rather overlooked essay Water and Dreams (1941), where he defines two modes of imagination that are discrete but not disconnected. First is the formal mode that arises from emotions and sensations; next is the material mode, where images arise directly from matter: in this case, water. The phenomenological perspective he offers on water and its oneiric properties aligns very well with creative practice-led research – which, for us, comprises poetry (Jen Webb) and painting (Lorraine Webb). We explore Bachelard’s notion of dream, which departs from the conventional views to suggest a different way of understanding what dreaming might be for creative practitioners. This, the concept of waking dreams, provides one conceptual frame for the affordances of dream for creative practice. The second frame attends to the fragmentary, aleatory, and haphazard nature of living in the world, and this we draw from Bertrand Russell’s writing (1953), which incorporates both day and night dreams, and their poetic, allegorical qualities. We work through and around these two conceptual frames to reflect on the often confounding issue: how to be and to become, in a life that is both dream and concrete reality.
The haunting power of dreamscapes within Tim Winton’s gothic novella In the Winter Dark
Authors: Herbert-Goodall Eileen
Published: December 2022

Nightmares and their aesthetics of terror have been linked to Gothic literature since the birth of the genre during the pre-Romantic era. Indeed, many early authors of the form, including Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley, were driven to articulate the content of disturbing dreams via their literary work. Significantly, dark literary dream sequences continue to be a cornerstone feature of many contemporary Gothic texts. In this paper, I reflect upon some of the uniquely Australian Gothic tropes on display within Tim Winton’s 1988 novella, In the Winter Dark, while also discussing the various functions performed by dreamscapes within this work. In addition, and with occasional reference to Freudian concepts, I explore the use of Winton’s nightmare sequences to re-present, in recurring fashion, the fragmented sense of self to which his protagonists are subject as they struggle to recover from traumatic events (or not recover, as the case may be). Finally, I discuss the capacity of dreamscapes within this novella to contribute to narrational and structural strategies in ways that are aesthetically powerful and innovative.
When dreams turn archaeological: The poetic dreamscapes of Anna Jacobson
Authors: Frank Jane
Published: December 2022

This paper explores the dream-inspired poetry and video poetry of award-winning Brisbane poet Anna Jacobson. Jacobson’s surreal poetic narratives draw on memory, dreams, desires and destiny, using simple language and vivid imagery to evoke strong emotional responses. Her manner of exploring dreams in a number of poetic and narrative forms allows whimsical, gentle but also vigorous creative work of personal resilience and understanding. Her work is framed also by explorations of her Jewish culture and family and driven by unbridled imagination. In particular, the paper investigates Jacobson’s process of interweaving visions and memories for the purpose of tracing personal histories lost through periods of mental illness, exploring how she mines dreams for the purpose of writing and healing. It questions how her poetic process allows her to reclaim agency through unpacking experiences she wants to recover or further understand. Distilled from a series of interviews with the poet, the paper explores Jacobson’s interest in working at the cusp of different media and how this blend of the word and the visual image is particularly apt for dream exploration.
Ideasthetic imagining: Writing as dream-membering
Authors: Prendergast Julia
Published: December 2022

This article focuses on dreaming and remembering as they relate to process, postulating creative writing as a form of dream-membering. I take an interest in what is going on in our brains, in creative practice, and have begun an exploratory pilot study that maps brain activity, in “real-time”, using Magnetoencephalography (MEG), while participants are engaged in a creative writing workshop (a partnership with Swinburne Neuroimaging). Reflecting upon my practice, across the development of a novel and a collection of short stories, I ponder the ramifications of deep, sensory imagining as it relates to stimulus-for and stimulus-in, in acts of narrative making – considering my engagement with the past, including pre-conscious memories and mental processes. I consider the neural conditions that are necessary for stimulus-induced activity, in my personal practice. Further, I give thought to the brain’s dreamlike capacity to trigger its own neuronal activity within the context of stimulus-induced creative acts. An analysis of processes of dream-membering involves an examination of experiential knowledge, as well as consideration of the relative realness of the narrative world. This leads to a dialogue about the theories of regression (in dreaming) and memory reconsolidation, as twin concepts that more fully explicate iterative processes in creative writing practice. My practice-led research focuses theories from neuropsychoanalysis, specifically the concept of ideasthesia or “sensing concepts” from neuroscience (Nikolić 2016, p. 2), as well as the “unthought known” from psychoanalysis (Bollas 2014, 2017). These theories underpin a process I call ideasthetic imagining. Reflecting upon the impact of my practice on my mind, and my mind’s eye on my practice, I extend previous discussion about ideasthetic imagining, deploying the concept of dream-membering – paying particular attention to the way I employ sensory imagining (informed by pre-conscious memories and mental processes).
Cartography of Sound
Authors: Alvarado Johan Lorraine
Published: December 2022

This paper embarks on the odyssey of queer diasporic Pilipinxs, a journey that has hitherto been neglected in English literary studies. Set against the backdrop of multiple imperialisms and ongoing migration, this project attends to a complex array of issues discussed in contemporary queer Pilipinx American poetry, examining bodies in transit, bodies in translation, and bodies in transformation. In close-reading Kay Ulanday Barrett’s More Than Organs and Aldrin Valdez’s ESL, or You Weren’t Here, my aim is to explore how queer Pilipinx American embodiment can be uprooted and mapped within a poetic landscape that dissolves boundaries between languages, voices, genders, temporalities, and worlds. These collections elucidate not only alternative ways of mourning and healing but also the breadth of queer, diasporic imagination that transcends neat categorization or stringent conclusions. This thesis proposes that queer Pilipinx American poetry can help us negotiate our vexed legacies in order to arrive at new, expansive possibilities of being, becoming, and belonging.
Tiger Symbolism in the British Raj
Authors: Teodorescu Ana
Published: December 2022

This research paper explores representations of the tiger during British colonization of India, arguing that the symbolism embodied in these depictions started with the copying of Indian rulers’ ceremonial attachments to tigers and gradually merged into an approach which delineated class division and racial segregation. A brief history of British-Indian relations situates the period in question and paints a picture of the powers at play. Themes of power dynamics, racism, and gender roles are explored in relation to art and animal history, offering a comprehensive view of a phenomenon that was accepted but never openly discussed. The power of symbolic imagery in constructing cultural identities is emphasized and illustrations vividly support the thesis for the various stages.
The Presence of the Sovereign: An Investigation Across Socialist Spaces
Authors: Zhang Nora
Published: December 2022

In this article, I discuss three case studies concerning the reverberations of regime change in East Asia, principally pivoting around relevant religious practices in Vietnam, China and South Korea. Such reverberations are insolubly bound up with the socialist traditions of the three states, especially those pertaining to the status of the first socialist leaders. Furthermore, my analysis revolves around the haunting presence of those socialist leaders in East Asia, not only in state acts but also in popular practices. Grasping the political through the stained glass of the religious, I attempt to revise and supplement a predominantly western definition of secularization, namely the state-“church” relationship, while elucidating on the internal contradictions of the socialist states’ constantly varying attitude on religion.
Cover Art
Authors: Wong Forest
Published: December 2022

Artist Statement: I read through the abstracts and the creative pieces and what stood out to me were ideas of revolution, identity, progress, and change. I came up with the design by drawing purely from the aesthetic aspects of different theater traditions in Asia. For example, I looked at makeup styles from Kathakali and Kabuki, pattern designs from Wayang Kulit, and costuming from JingJu. This decision was made as a way to create something that people could identify as having Asian elements but not specific to any one country. The decision to include the fire is to communicate this idea of change/revolution and how that intersects with identity.

Eladi gutika is official in Ayurvedic formulary of India and used as a remedy for Kasa (Cough), Svasa (Asthma), Bhrama (Vertigo), Raktapitta (Bleeding disorders), Jvara (Fever), Amvata (Rheumatism) etc. The present paper is an effort to develop the routine fingerprinting method for quality control parameter of Eladi gutika by high performance thin layer chromatography using glycyrrhizinic acid as an internal standard. The HPTLC estimation was carried out with three laboratory batches and one marketed formulation Eladi gutika and crude drug containing glycyrrhizinic acid. The concentration of glycyrrhizinic acid present in raw material was found to be 8.2201±0.497w/w in G. glabra and in three identical laboratory batch of Eladi gutika EG-I, EG -II and EG -III, was found to be 1.4945 ± 0.293, 1.4963 ± 0.763%, 1.4944± 0.864w/w respectively. The glycyrrhizinic acid content in all the three different batches is found to be in close proximities with each other. The results were comparable to marketed formulations. Hence the present method is simple, sensitive, precise and accurate and can be adopted for routine fingerprinting method for quality control of Eladi gutika.

Urolithiasis is recurrent common urological disorder with high prevalence throughout the worldwide. The prevalence of kidney stones is influenced by no. of factors such as geographic location, lifestyle, race and other factors. Although a number of invasive and non-invasive surgical treatment methods are available, due to the involvement of high cost, side effects like renal tract damage, fertility problems and possibility of recurrence of stones, limited their use. Herbal medicines have been in vogue as alternative treatment option for prevention and treatment of renal stones in different countries due to the benefits like safety, economic and less chances of recurrence. Herbal medicines contain single or many herbs which have complex chemical compounds. Appropriate quality control and standardization methods are required for herbal medicines to ensure their quality, safety and efficacy. Analytical methods such as UV, IR, NMR, and TLC, HPTLC, HPLC and hyphenated techniques such as LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, and LC-NMR have been established as significant role in estimation of phytoconstituents of herbal formulations useful in urolithiasis. Several standardized protocols are reported on authentication of herbs, isolation, characterization and estimation of active phytochemicals. The present review discusses on various herbal medicines used in renal stone treatment such as marketed formulations of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani and Homeopathy and analytical methods available for the estimation of their active constituents.

Are Left and Right Converging or Becoming Meaningless?: A Discussion on Contemporary Ideological Positions
Authors: KARACA Yunus Emre , KARACAN Osman
Published: December 2022

Although the history of ideologies is traced back to the ancient times of human history, it is actually a phenomenon of modern times. The concept was first systematically studied by philosophers in the Age of Enlightenment. With the development of political parties in the 19th century, the concept of ideology was intertwined with political parties. In the modern era, political parties try to get the votes of their voters by aligning their identities on the right and left spectrum. This study aims to evaluate whether or not the expressions “left” and “right” are meaningless today. If they are still meaningful, what are their meanings? The study examines ideological convergence in Western countries using the Comparative Manifesto Project (CMP) data. The research results show that although the concepts of left and right still make sense, they have eroded over time. The results also demonstrate that right and left do not have the same meaning in every country.

The many threats to national integration both from within and from outside must be immediately addressed by the government and also the Indonesian people. The problems that became one of the divisions were religious blasphemy and hate speech by several individuals who did not pay attention to and care about one group or another individual. The purpose of this paper is to find out the extent to which the government seeks national integration within the Indonesian state which is written using a qualitative descriptive method  which is to describe the existing phenomenon and then describe it into a description, and which is the basis for writing this article and then begins by knowing the urgency of multicultural education as a barrier to the threat of national integration, then continues with the views of experts regarding the creation of harmonious national integration, its relationship with multicultural education, and ends by knowing what are the contributions of the Indonesian government in thwarting the existing threats. Then the result of this discussion is that it is known that the government seeks multicultural education in the fields of defense and security, politics, economy, and also socio-culture, because in carrying out their respective roles they must be based on a sense of tolerance, togetherness for the creation of Indonesian unity which has been fought for by the fighters. Indonesia's independence in 1945 and is also based on the ideology of Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika. With a sense of togetherness and tolerance among religious, ethnic, cultural, linguistic people, as well as various views and understandings of threats to the integration or national unity of Indonesia, it will not be a problem because of the formation of harmony in the life of the nation, state and language.

Managing a criminal group is an important element of the functioning of organized crime, which translates into an increased risk of criminal punishment. There is no statutory definition of a criminal group and a criminal relationship in the Polish Penal Code, so the burden of interpreting these features of a crime has been taken over by the judicature of the courts. Over the course of several years, it has been possible to efficiently build a juridical definition of both organized crime structures and the related management of these structures. The person in charge is both a person who, in the form of a single authority, issues orders to members of a criminal group, but also persons reporting to a higher-ranking manager, who have a certain margin of discretion in making decisions, managing smaller and hierarchically subordinate field structures of such an organization.

Published: December 2022

Without public administration reform there is no continuation of European integration of B&H – while European integrations can only be executed by reformed, professional and depoliticized public administration. Since it is expected that Bosnia and Herzegovina will finally receive candidate status at the end of the current year, and that the process of EU integration will intensify, public administration reform will once again be one of the unavoidable reform areas. This study provides an overview of the strategic framework and scope of public administration reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the last 18 years that the reform has been formally implemented, followed by a contextual and legislative analysis, critical points of the reform, and a package of recommendations, conclusions and topics for further research.
Bosnia and Herzegovina in John Mearsheimer’s Concepts
Authors: Memišević Hamza
Published: December 2022

Starting from the analysis of the texts of the American political scientist J. Mearsheimer created during the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the central theme of the paper is Mearsheimer's view on the Bosnian issue. The political-administrative organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina is still a relevant topic that takes the form of a permanent political crisis. The paper presents a synthesis of Mearsherimer's conceptions immanent in the theory of offensive realism, as well as a breakdown of post-Cold War political processes which, according to the principle of causality, can be viewed as a catalyst for the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Understanding the current dynamics of world political movements with an emphasis on Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the fundamental components of this work.

A pilot study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of automated mechanical respiratory aid device
Authors: Pasupuleti Gautham , Mukund Meghna , George Sharon , Bai KM Srimathi
Published: December 2022

Background: High burden of morbidity and mortality due to respiratory illnesses was witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic. We developed a portable automated mechanical respiratory assist device (RespirAID R20) that delivers Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation by mechanically compressing a Bag Valve Mask. The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the RespirAID R20, a mechanical ventilation device in post-operative care patients. Method: This pilot study enrolled five subjects at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, India. Post-operative subjects were transferred from the Mindray Synovent E3 (standard ventilator) to the RespirAID R20 for 3 hours. Ventilator and physiologic parameters were recorded and compared. Result: All patients maintained normal blood pressure, heart rate, and heart rhythm. The delivered mean tidal volume (VT) and peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) was 419.64 +/- 11 ml and 20 +/- 2 cmH2O, which remained within the initial set range of 428 +/- 12 ml and 24 +/- 2 cmH2O throughout the study duration. Arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters during RespirAID R20, except PaO2, were within the normal range. PaO2 levels were greater than 300 mm Hg during the first four hours (323 +/- 163 mmHg and 344 +/- 97 mmHg). Conclusion: The findings of this study suggests that RespirAID R20 may be an alternative device in providing respiratory assistance to sedated and intubated adult patients in the postoperative period. Additional studies are required to evaluate other possible applications of the RespirAID R20. Keywords: RespirAID R20, ABG parameters, mechanical ventilation, respiratory assist
Identifying asynchronies: work shifting and double triggering
Authors: Perez Victor , Pasco Jamille

Mechanical ventilation supports the work of breathing, improves gas exchange, and unloads the respiratory muscles, all of which require good synchronization between the patient and the ventilator. Asynchronies occur when the ventilator’s breath delivery does not match the patient’s neural ventilatory pattern or is inadequate to meet the patient’s flow demand. Patient–ventilator asynchrony can be easily detected by observing the patients in those extreme situations in which they fight the ventilator; nevertheless, the vast majority of asynchronies occur without major clinical signs and go undetected or corrected without measuring patient's respiratory effort (either esophageal pressure or electrical activity of the diaphragm). Synchrony problems are common, occurring in perhaps as many as 25% of patients receiving invasive ventilation and up to 80% of patients receiving noninvasive ventilation. In this concise review, we describe work shifting and double triggering asynchronies. Keywords: Patient-ventilator asynchronies, work shifting, double triggering

Introduction: Diarrheal infections associated to multidrug resistant bacteria are a public health problem, particularly in the tropics. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe a Multidrug resistant strain of Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolated from diarrheal stools. Patients and methods: A sample of diarrheal stools from a 30 years old housekeeper patient was analysed at China-Guinea Friendship Hospital of Kipé/Conakry. Parasitological examination by optical microscopy, followed by bacteriological analysis were done. Cultures were carried out on different agar media. Bacterial identification, antibiograms and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were performed using the Vitek 2 System. Results: The isolated E. coli strain was sensitive only to 4 of 29 antibiotics tested including imipenem, ertapenem, amikacin and nitrofurantoin. Intermediate sensitivity was detected towards minocycline. In contrast, this strain was resistant to piperacillin, cefuroxime, cefuroxime axetil, cefixime, ceftriaxone, cefepime, aztreonam, meropenem, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, tetracycline, tigecycline, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, ampicillin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ticarcillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, cephalothin, cefotaxime, ceftazidime, gentamicin, tobramycin, nalidixic acid, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole with high MICs. Conclusion: The treatment of this multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli diarrheal infection requires appropriate antibiotic therapy, based on the results of an accurate antibiogram to be performed with rapid means for better patient care.
