Collaborating with refugees
Authors: Hughes Mandy
Published: December 2019

Representing stories through documentary film can offer a means to convey multilayered and sensory accounts of the lived experiences of people in extreme transition, especially former refugees. However, along with the potential of this medium comes the responsibility to engage with participants in an ethical and reciprocal manner. This article examines these prerequisites and applies them to two films about the experiences of people from refugee backgrounds in Australia. The first film, The Last Refuge: Food Stories from Myanmar to Coffs Harbour (2015), explores the Myanmar community, their sociocultural relationship to food and how this informs their identity. The second film, 3Es to Freedom (2017), documents a supported employment program for women from refugee backgrounds. Despite having different purposes and target audiences, the two films reinforced the importance of establishing informed and negotiated consent with marginalised people as the basis of all interactions and representations on film. Such negotiation seeks to minimise power imbalances and forms the ethical starting point for reflexive filmmaking practice that considers the filmmakers’ and participants’ intentions, and that promotes a heightened awareness of how knowledge is created through image-making.
Anonymity and representation
Authors: Blomfield Isobel , Lenette Caroline
Published: December 2019

The five-minute film Mouth of a Shark (Isobel Blomfield, 2018) conveys a young woman’s experiences and precarious situation while she awaits an outcome on her refugee status determination in Australia. Aasiya (pseudonym) lives in community detention. Her interest in creating the film stemmed from her own acknowledgement that she had a platform as a young, literate asylum seeker woman with a “strong” story, and was therefore in a position to portray asylum seekers in a positive light. However, she cannot be identified in the film, even though it depicts her story, due to concerns over safety and her claim for asylum. We use this example to illustrate issues of anonymity and representation, and suggest strategies in line with our commitment to avoid depersonalising tropes in filmmaking. While we are committed to ensuring that people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds exercise agency in filmmaking, protecting Aasiya’s identity had to prevail. We wanted to avoid depersonalising tropes, and instead devised filming strategies that were more respectful of the protagonist and, within the constraint of anonymity, ensured that Aasiya could still represent her story in meaningful ways. We argue for an ethical model that reconciles the need for both anonymity and representation in filmmaking, especially through collaborative editing.

Published: December 2019

This study aimed to identify the relationship between teachers' distributed leadership and perceptions of schools as learning organizations. This study used correlational survey model and made use of correlations to determine the relationship between the two variables. Study population consisted of 600 teachers employed at secondary schools in the central district of Bolu in 2018-2019 academic year. The study was carried out on the population and therefore no sampling was required. Of the 600 scales distributed, 268 were returned and evaluated. The measurement tool used in the research consists of three parts. First part of the scale included demographic characteristics of teachers. The second part included the Distributed Leadership Scale and the third part consisted of the Learning School Scale. Some of the results of the research are as follows: Teachers have high perceptions of learning school and sub-dimensions such as team learning, mental models, shared vision, personal domination and shared leadership. Male and female teachers are similar in learning schools and sub-dimensions of learning in teams, mental models, shared vision and shared leadership perceptions. According to the results of the research, female teachers 'perceptions of personal dominance dimension are higher than male teachers' perceptions. Teachers with different types of in-service participation and project numbers have similar characteristics to the learning school, learning as a team, mental models, shared vision and personal dominance sub-dimensions and shared leadership perceptions. The teachers' perceptions of teachers in schools whose schools have different number of teachers show different characteristics in other dimensions and shared leadership perceptions except for personal dominance dimension.

Published: December 2019

Mikoriza’nın domateste beslenme
üzerine olan etkileri pek çok kez incelenmişse de, meyve kalitesi üzerine olan
etkilerinin belirlenmesi için halen yeni çalışmalara gerek duyulmaktadır. Diğer
yandan, altın oran ölçeğine göre yapılan fide dikiminin domateste verim ve
kaliteye olası fayda ve zararları konusunda bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu
çalışma, tarla koşullarında iki farklı dikim deseninin ve domates fidelerine
inoküle edilen Arbusküler Mikoriza (AM)’nın meyve kalitesi üzerine olan etkilerinin
belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Domates fideleri Standart Dikim (SD) şekli
ve bitkilerin sıra üzeri ve sıra arası mesafelere Altın Oran (AO)’ın uygulandığı
dikim şeklinde planlanan parsellere; Mikorizalı (M+) ve Mikorizasız (M-)olarak
ayrı ayrı dikilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, tek meyve ağırlıkları dikim
şeklinden istatistiki olarak etkilenmiştir. Standart dikim şeklinden elde
edilen meyvelerin ağırlıkları AO dikim şekline göre daha yüksek değerler
verirken, mikoriza faktörünün meyve ağırlıkları üzerine etkisi istatistiki
olarak önemsiz bulunmuştur. Meyve ağırlıklarındaki değişim meyve boyutlarında
da görülmüştür. Standart dikim şeklindeki meyvelerin boyu ve eni AO dikim
şekline göre daha yüksek sonuçlar verirken, meyve boyutlarını mikoriza uygulaması
istatistiki olarak etkilememiştir. Meyve kabuk rengi hem dikim şeklinden hem de
mikoriza uygulamalarından istatistiki olarak etkilenmemiştir. Suda Çözünebilir Kuru
Madde Miktarı (%SÇKM) ve Titre Edilebilir Toplam Asitlik (%TETA) özelliklerini;
ne dikim şekli ne de mikoriza uygulamaları istatistiki olarak etkilememiştir.
Vitamin C bakımından ise mikoriza uygulamasının her iki ekim şeklinde de bir
etkisi görülmemişken SD şekliyle elde edilen ürünlerde C vitamini daha fazla ölçülmüştür
(p≤0,05). Sonuç olarak mikoriza
uygulamaları her iki dikim şeklinde domates verimi ve kalitesine etki etmemiş; SD
şekline göre AO dikim şekli de domatesin verim ve kalitesi yönünden beklenen
başarıyı gösterememiştir. Altın oran dikim şeklinde domates bitkileri
arasındaki mesafelerin, özellikle küçük parsellerde yetersiz olabileceği
sonucuna varılmıştır.

GUGUNG DAN JEHE: PEMBELAHAN ETNIK KARO DI SUMATRA UTARA
Authors: Damanik Erond Litno
Published: December 2019

Studi ini bertujuan untuk memahami pembelahan etnik Karo di Sumatra Utara. Masalah dirumuskan pada pertanyaan: bagaimanakah pembelahan etnik Karo dilakukan selama periode kolonialisme? Paradigma yang digunakan pada kajian ini adalah sejarah etnik dengan pendekatan mixed epistemologi, yakni menggabungkan pendekatan sejarah, antropologi budaya, dan arkeologi untuk menelaah proses sejarah dan budaya yang memunculkan pembelahan etnik. Penelitian dijalankan secara kualitatif. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelahan etnik Karo merupakan fenomena pengontruksian identitas selama periode kolonialisme, yang didasarkan pada perbedaan sosio-geografis dan sosiokultural dengan penekanan secara politis, ekonomi, dan sosial. Satuan sosial hasil pembelahan, yakni Karo Gugung dan Karo Jehe, tidak menghasilkan deep-rooted ethnic boundary karena keduanya masih mengakui atribut objektif yang sama. Kebaruan kajian ini bahwa etnisitas adalah alat pembentukan koloni baru yang tunduk pada Pemerintah Kolonial.
RESEARCH OF INFLUENCE OF SPECTRAL HINDRANCES ON RESULTS OF DEFINITION OF ELEMENTS FOR THE ATOMIC-ABSORPTION SPECTRAL ANALYSIS WITH CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM SOURCE
Authors: Kolosov Nikita , Boldova Svetlana
Published: December 2019

The traditional widespread method for the atomic-absorption spectral analysis (Walsh's method) now is consecutive since demands use of the selective light source and reorganization of wavelength of the monochromator for definition of each element as a part of test. This fact seriously reduces analysis productivity, however, this method almost completely excludes emergence of the problems connected with spectral hindrances.
Using a method of the atomic-absorption spectral analysis with a continuous spectrum source and a spectrometer with low resolution for the simultaneous analysis of multielement samples, spectral hindrances of analytical lines of the elements which are contained in the analyzed substance are inevitable. For carrying out the correct qualitative and quantitative analysis it is necessary to identify, to divide and to consider spectral hindrances. In this work we presented application of a method of identification and accounting of spectral hindrances on a spectral complex of low resolution "Kolibri-AAS".

Published: December 2019

Using optical methods: ellipsometry, IR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy, thin films obtained by centrifugation from blood sera of healthy people and patients with liver fibrosis of various stages (light and pronounced) were investigated. It is shown that the values of refractive index, shape of IR and Raman spectra of films of individuals of these groups are significantly different, which may be due to profound changes in the metabolism in the body with the development of pathology. This fact can significantly increase the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy index, as well as achieve real results in the diagnosis of not only pronounced stages of fibrosis, but also provides an opportunity to detect mild unexpressed fibrosis of a liver. This is promising in the screening minimally invasive determination of the stages of the disease in diffuse pathologies of the liver of various genesis.

Authors: Bezrukov Andrei , Zarubin Igor
Published: December 2019

The present paper demonstrates results of high-resolution spectrometer characteristics improvement methods. Increasing resolution, spectral range extending and illumination efficiency for the spectrometer were investigated. Obtained results will be found useful in atomic spectroscopy applications such as atomic absorption, atomic emission spectroscopy, mass-spectroscopy, chromatography and others. In order to increase spectrometer resolution it was suggested to use higher diffractive grating curvature radius. Experimentally, characteristics of both spectrometer prototypes assembled using diffractive gratings R1000 and R2000 were obtained and compared. New approach for polychromatous displacement was developed in order to extend operational spectrum range. The main feature is single spectrometer entrance slit for both UV and visible range Paschen-Runge polychromatous with beam splitting by coupled flat folding mirrors placed behind slit. Diffractive grating illumination monitor system was designed in order to provide this spectrometer by alignment control for lightning system.
New spectrometer “Grand-2” was fabricated. It includes coupled Paschen-Runge polychromators for UV and visible spectral range providing 12 and 30 pm spectral resolution respectively with single entrance slit equipped with diffractive grating illumination monitoring system. This spectrometer can be used for various atomic spectroscopy applications.

Subject of research-theoretical and practical justification of risk managementfor climate change based on basin approach. The purpose of the article is to establish ecological equilibrium in the basins of small rivers of Ukraine through asystematic approach to the complex carrying out of nature-related works, agro-,chemo-, bio- and phyto-melioration in the small rivers basins. Methodology of work- system-structural and comparative analysis (for the definition of innovative approaches in environmental protection) as a landfill (in the determined cost of landfor optimizing land relations). Modeling and forecasting for risks reduction innature land use. The results of the work - degradation processes in the groundand water ecosystems of the basins of small rivers are considered. It is proposedto change the priorities in landscape studies by adopting the main taxonomic unitof any landscape of the small river basin instead of the abstract general principle“nature-territorial complex (PTC)”. A space-regulatory mechanism for the implementation of V.I. Vernadsky’s idea of Noosphere in the terrestrial ecosystems wasdeveloped. The sequence of ecologically-technogenic transformations of degradedsmall river basins in ecologically balanced ecosystems by means of restoration workswithout violating the basis of erosion and providing biocenosis of the self-healingmomentum has been determined. The system approach to the problem is to develop and adopt the laws of Ukraine on the restoration of small river basins, theircertification, land relations in the process of restorative works, and the increaseof natural biodiversity. Ways to overcome the risks of climate change are consistent implementation of the proposed programs. Conclusions-based on the resultsof the study, the lack of a scientifically grounded mechanism for overcomingdegradation processes in the basins of small rivers both in Ukraine and the international community and overcoming the risks to society for climate change in thepost-Holocene period was established. Proposed laws of Ukraine are proposed thatwill ensure the establishment of ecological balance in agro-and biogeocenosis forconducting relevant works in the basins of small rivers.

Ageing, ageism, and lost honor: Narratives of Arab elders in Israel
Authors: Manor Shlomit
Published: December 2019

This study examines how Arab elders in Israel experience old age and speak about ageism, old age, and loss of honor. Interviews were conducted with 25 Arab men and women, both Muslims and Christians, between the ages of 63 and 86. The findings indicate that despite Arab society being a familial and traditional society, informants experience ageism and feelings of loss of respect and status in both the public and private spheres. The findings reveal a multilayered discourse, inconsistent and incoherent, riddled with internal contradictions about honor, exclusion, ageism, and its absence. This discourse reflects Arab society’s ambivalence about the ongoing processes of modernization on the one hand, and the desire to preserve traditional family values and the status of older populations on the other. The issue of ageism within Arab society in Israel has not thus far drawn much attention in the field of gerontological research, and this study therefore aims to fill this gap.
Unsettling aging futures: Challenging colonial-normativity in social gerontology
Authors: Chazan May
Published: December 2019

This article explores the stories of two women activists, both in their mid to later lives, both grandmothers, and both Indigenous to what is now Canada. Both women participated in intergenerational storytelling research in 2017, as part of a multiyear (2016–2020) oral history project. The article brings their stories into dialogue with critical writings on “successful aging” discourse and notions of “happy aging futures” while also reaching beyond gerontology to examine related work by Indigenous scholars in other fields. In doing so, it challenges the ongoing colonial-normativity of interrelated gerontological conceptualizations of generativity and futurity, building on existing efforts to queer and crip these concepts. It ultimately contributes to efforts to understand complexity among multiple aging experiences, opening possibilities of livable and positive futures among those who do not identify with dominant images of wealthy, physically fit older couples with grandchildren.
Linking Scheduling Criteria to Shop Floor Performance in Permutation Flowshops
Authors: Framinan Jose M. , Leisten Rainer
Published: December 2019

The goal of manufacturing scheduling is to allocate a set of jobs to the machines in the shop so these jobs are processed according to a given criterion (or set of criteria). Such criteria are based on properties of the jobs to be scheduled (e.g., their completion times, due dates); so it is not clear how these (short-term) criteria impact on (long-term) shop floor performance measures. In this paper, we analyse the connection between the usual scheduling criteria employed as objectives in flowshop scheduling (e.g., makespan or idle time), and customary shop floor performance measures (e.g., work-in-process and throughput). Two of these linkages can be theoretically predicted (i.e., makespan and throughput as well as completion time and average cycle time), and the other such relationships should be discovered on a numerical/empirical basis. In order to do so, we set up an experimental analysis consisting in finding optimal (or good) schedules under several scheduling criteria, and then computing how these schedules perform in terms of the different shop floor performance measures for several instance sizes and for different structures of processing times. Results indicate that makespan only performs well with respect to throughput, and that one formulation of idle times obtains nearly as good results as makespan, while outperforming it in terms of average cycle time and work in process. Similarly, minimisation of completion time seems to be quite balanced in terms of shop floor performance, although it does not aim exactly at work-in-process minimisation, as some literature suggests. Finally, the experiments show that some of the existing scheduling criteria are poorly related to the shop floor performance measures under consideration. These results may help to better understand the impact of scheduling on flowshop performance, so scheduling research may be more geared towards shop floor performance, which is sometimes suggested as a cause for the lack of applicability of some scheduling models in manufacturing.

Published: December 2019

This study was done to determine the impacts Yucca schidigera supplementation to drinking water on the excretion of nitrogen, and subsequently the level of ammonia, intestinal bacterial count, hematological and biochemical parameters, and some performance parameters. A total of 270 one-day old Cobb 500 chicks were equally divided into three groups (90 chicks/group). The first control group (G1) was fed on the basal diets without any yucca supplementation. The 2nd and 3rd groups (G2 and G3) were fed on basal diets with Yucca Plus liquid®, at an 8 h/day supplementation rate of 0.5, and 1 mL/L to drinking water, respectively. The chicks that received yucca showed significant decreases in litter nitrogen content, when compared to controls. The chicks that received liquid yucca had reduced counts of total bacteria (TBC) (p < 0.05), Escherichia coli, and a non-significant increase in the number of lactic acid producing bacteria. They also showed increased activity of antioxidant enzymes, increased levels of immunoglobulins M and G, and decreased levels of lipid peroxidation biomarkers, without a harmful effect on liver and kidney function. The chicks that received yucca showed a better feed conversion ratio. In conclusion, the use of natural additives is necessary to decrease nitrogen losses, feed cost, and environmental pollution; without adverse impacts on animal performance. Liquid supplementation of saponins is valuable for the performance, gut health, and welfare of broiler chickens.

The main goal of our study was to determine a set of thawed stallion sperm characteristics that have predictive value for the pregnancy rate (PR) of mares after artificial insemination (AI). DNA fragmentation and survival of sperm during hypothermic storage were studied in addition to routinely determined semen characteristics such as concentration, percentage of motile spermatozoa, and morphology. To estimate DNA fragmentation, a modified hallo assay was applied. Sperm survival was determined within hours as the ability of spermatozoa to maintain progressive motility (PM) during the storage of ejaculate diluted with lactose-chelate-citrate-yolk (LCCY) medium at +4 °C. Strong positive correlation between PR and thawed sperm motility (r = 0.90, p < 0.05) as well as between PR and sperm survival (r = 084, p < 0.05) was revealed. There was also a strong negative correlation between PR and DNA damages in spermatozoa (r = −0.94, p < 0.05). We found no dependence of PR on normal morphology spermatozoa percentage in thawed semen. We concluded that the sperm activity, survival, and DNA fragmentation should be considered as the sufficient reproductive characteristics of semen to evaluate the quality of frozen/thawed sperm and prediction of PR.

To ensure that captive breeding and other associated programs are more robust and sustainable, it is of utmost importance to ensure optimum welfare. Although it is well known that standard welfare is crucial for successful captive breeding, there is still a lack of welfare assessment protocols for wild species. The current study aimed to develop a leading baseline welfare assessment protocol for assessing welfare in captive Punjab urial. This protocol is based on the welfare protocol for domestic sheep from the Welfare Quality® project, coupled with all the information obtained from the published literature on the species’ biology and ecology. This protocol consists of 4 principles, 12 criteria, and 31 animal- and resource-based indicators. The protocol was tested and applied to three different herds of Punjab urial at two different facilities. Initial results showed that some areas need to be improved for better captive breeding and management.

The rabbit nose’s ability to filter out inhaled agents is directly related to its defense to infectious diseases. The knowledge of the rabbit nose anatomy is essential to appreciate its functions in ventilation regulation, aerosol filtration and olfaction. The objective of this study is to numerically simulate the inhalation and deposition of nanoparticles in a New Zealand white (NZW) rabbit nose model with an emphasis on the structure–function relation under normal and sniffing conditions. To simulate the sniffing scenario, the original nose model was modified to generate new models with enlarged nostrils or vestibules based on video images of a rabbit sniffing. Ventilations into the maxilloturbinate and olfactory region were quantified with varying nostril openings, and deposition rates of inhaled aerosols ranging from 0.5 nm to 1000 nm were characterized on the total, sub-regional and local basis. Results showed that particles which deposited in the olfactory region came from a specific area in the nostril. The spiral vestibule played an essential role in regulating flow resistance and flow partition into different parts of the nose. Increased olfactory doses were persistently predicted in models with expanded nostrils or vestibule. Particles in the range of 5–50 nm are more sensitive to the geometry variation than other nanoparticles. It was also observed that exhaled aerosols occupy only the central region of the nostril, which minimized the mixing with the aerosols close to the nostril wall, and potentially allowed the undisruptive sampling of odorants. The results of this study shed new light on the ventilation regulation and inhalation dosimetry in the rabbit nose, which can be further implemented to studies of infectious diseases and immunology in rabbits.

We examine data assimilation coupling between meteorology and chemistry in the stratosphere from both weak and strong coupling strategies. The study was performed with the Canadian operational weather prediction Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model coupled online with the photochemical stratospheric chemistry model developed at the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, described in Part I. Here, the Canadian Meteorological Centre’s operational variational assimilation system was extended to include errors of chemical variables and cross-covariances between meteorological and chemical variables in a 3D-Var configuration, and we added the adjoint of tracer advection in the 4D-Var configuration. Our results show that the assimilation of limb sounding observations from the MIPAS instrument on board Envisat can be used to anchor the AMSU-A radiance bias correction scheme. Additionally, the added value of limb sounding temperature observations on meteorology and transport is shown to be significant. Weak coupling data assimilation with ozone–radiation interaction is shown to give comparable results on meteorology whether a simplified linearized or comprehensive ozone chemistry scheme is used. Strong coupling data assimilation, using static error cross-covariances between ozone and temperature in a 3D-Var context, produced inconclusive results with the approximations we used. We have also conducted the assimilation of long-lived species observations using 4D-Var to infer winds. Our results showed the added value of assimilating several long-lived species, and an improvement in the zonal wind in the Tropics within the troposphere and lower stratosphere. 4D-Var assimilation also induced a correction of zonal wind in the surf zone and a temperature bias in the lower tropical stratosphere.

In recent years, cases of child-to-parent violence (CPV) have increased significantly, prompting greater scientific interest in clarifying its causes. The aim of this research was to study the relationship between styles of family communication (open, offensive and avoidant), emotional intelligence or EI (attention, repair and perceived emotional clarity) and CPV, taking into account the gender of the aggressors. The participants of the study were 1200 adolescents (46.86% boys) between the ages of 12 and 18 enrolled at secondary schools in the Autonomous Communities of Andalusia and Valencia (M = 13.88, SD = 1.32). A Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA, 3 × 2) was performed with CPV and gender as independent variables and family communication styles and EI as dependent variables. The results showed that the adolescents with low CPV obtained lower scores for offensive and avoidant family communication and higher scores for both positive family communication and emotional repair. The girls scored higher than the boys in both offensive communication and perceived emotional attention. The results highlight the importance of encouraging positive communication, as well as the need to strengthen perceived emotional repair to prevent future cases of CPV.
Aberrant Oligodendrogenesis in Down Syndrome: Shift in Gliogenesis?
Authors: Reiche Laura , Küry Patrick , Göttle Peter
Published: December 2019

Down syndrome (DS), or trisomy 21, is the most prevalent chromosomal anomaly accounting for cognitive impairment and intellectual disability (ID). Neuropathological changes of DS brains are characterized by a reduction in the number of neurons and oligodendrocytes, accompanied by hypomyelination and astrogliosis. Recent studies mainly focused on neuronal development in DS, but underestimated the role of glial cells as pathogenic players. Aberrant or impaired differentiation within the oligodendroglial lineage and altered white matter functionality are thought to contribute to central nervous system (CNS) malformations. Given that white matter, comprised of oligodendrocytes and their myelin sheaths, is vital for higher brain function, gathering knowledge about pathways and modulators challenging oligodendrogenesis and cell lineages within DS is essential. This review article discusses to what degree DS-related effects on oligodendroglial cells have been described and presents collected evidence regarding induced cell-fate switches, thereby resulting in an enhanced generation of astrocytes. Moreover, alterations in white matter formation observed in mouse and human post-mortem brains are described. Finally, the rationale for a better understanding of pathways and modulators responsible for the glial cell imbalance as a possible source for future therapeutic interventions is given based on current experience on pro-oligodendroglial treatment approaches developed for demyelinating diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.
