Inspirative geology -the influence of natural geological formations and patterns on contemporary landscape design
Authors: Al Basha Nawarah , Eplényi Anna , Sándor Gábor
Published: April 2021

Throughout the history of landscape design, we have witnessed many examples where natural features were used as symbolic elements of manmade landscapes and gardens. This influence of landscape geology had its impact on contemporary landscape architecture, resulting in diverse and innovative applications, which are the main topic of our discussion. The article is intended to demonstrate the trend of drawing inspiration from natural landscape features in contemporary landscape architecture in a new and complex way, focusing particularly on the influence of geology, geomorphology and tectonics. A study was conducted on twelve available, published contemporary landscape projects from the last two decades analysing the imitation of nature in the designs, with photo documentation and description. The aim is to identify how ‘native geology’ can influence today’s landscape architecture, which formations are inspirative, where and how they are integrated to the contemporary artistic design. Furthermore, in order to develop a complex understanding on how these references applied to the sites enhance the experience of the space. The selected projects are compared according to pairs of contrasting qualities that are related to measurable characteristics of a space. This will finally lead to identifying some common trends of today’s landscape architecture in applying this geology-inspired design approach.

Given the influence of retentio secundinarum (RS) on the reproductive performance of cows, the current work aimed to assess the effect of various approaches to the treatment of retained placenta on the main reproductive parameters, primarily on the interval from parturition to the first service, and the insemination index. The trial involved 120 dairy cows in which the placenta was not expelled within 24 h postpartum. The first group (G1, n=60) contained cows in which the retained placenta was not extirpated, but they were administered antibiotics. The second group (G2, n=60) comprised cows in which the placenta was removed manually, and were also administered antibiotics. At the end of the study, 53 cows remained in G1 and 54 cows in G2. According to medicament therapy, both groups were divided into three sub-groups treated with: procaine benzylpenicillin, chlortetracycline hydrochloride or ceftiofur. Comparison of the performance of G1 and G2 cows showed significantly better fertility parameters occurred in the animals from which the retained placenta was extracted manually. The pregnancy rate in the G2 group was remarkably higher than in the G1 group. The average service interval was significantly lower (p<0.05) in the G2 group compared to the G1 group. The best results were obtained with the i.m. administration of ceftiofur after the removal of the placenta.

Authors: Nava Martínez Rutilio
Published: April 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el desarrollo y consolidación de la escritura en niños. Se evaluó a 546 niños entre la edad de 6 a 12 años utilizando pruebas de escritura y lectura con el fin de medir la cantidad de errores ortográficos. En los resultados se encontró que los niños de grados inferiores cometen, de forma frecuente, errores de ortografía natural (modificación que altera la fonología de la palabra, errores heterófonos); y que todos los niños cometen errores de ortografía arbitraria (sustitución de una letra homófona). Particularmente, se observó que los niños de segundo grado no identifican las palabras mal escritas y que son especialistas en el uso de grafías dominantes para representar su respectivo fonema. Los errores heterófonos y homófonos disminuyeron en los niños de cuarto grado, aquí hubo un mayor dominio de la relación fonema-grafema y viceversa; además, la etapa ortográfica se observó a esta edad, ya que los niños identificaron una mayor cantidad de palabras mal escritas, en comparación con los niños de segundo grado. Los niños de sexto grado mostraron una automatización para escribir e identificar unidades lexicales como -ción, lo que significa que pueden leerlas como un todo y no como una secuencia de unidades grafemas-fonemas. Por último, el aprendizaje de la escritura en el idioma español es rápido, la transición de la etapa alfabética parcial a la ortográfica toma dos años. En algunos casos, sin embargo, los individuos muestran dificultades o problemas (dislexia), por lo que siguen cometiendo errores ortográficos naturales, a pesar de estar expuestos a la misma cantidad de textos que sus pares. Estos individuos con problemas de aprendizaje fueron notorios en sexto grado.

AIM OF STUDY To develop a method for assessing the severity of obstructive jaundice (OJ) of non-neoplastic orogin on the basis of functional parameters of the liver and the activity of pathogenetic agents of hepatodepression.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical and laboratory studies of 142 patients with breast cancer of non-tumor origin. The indicators of the functional state of the liver, the index of plasma toxicity for albumin, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were evaluated.

RESUlTS Based on the assessment of a number of blood parameters - the content of total bilirubin (TB), the plasma toxicity index for albumin, the MDA level — the severity index of obstructive jaundice of non-neoplastic origin (SIOJ) was developed:SIOJ = IT1/ITn + TB1/TB + 5(MDA1/MDAn)where IT 1 is the plasma albumin toxicity index at the current moment, ITn is the normal albumin plasma toxicity index, TB1 is the current bilirubin  content, TBn is the normal bilirubin content, MDA1 is the current malondialdehyde content, MDAn is the normal value. The index less than 13 indicates a mild severity, 14–21 is moderate severity, 22 and higher indicates a severe degree of OJ. The method increases the objectivity of determining the severity of non-neoplastic origin by establishing the severity of liver damage and the processes underlying it.

CONClUSiON The suggested clinical and laboratory index allows the severity of obstructive jaundice to be objectively and quickly determined upon admission of a patient to the hospital and also adequate therapy to be initiated in case of severe degree for anticipation of possible post-operative complications, so the treatment should be focused on managing triggers of hepatodepression. The method is simple and available in medical institutions of various levels. The method is especially valuable when used in the dynamics of the early postoperative period.

Published: April 2021

Crohn’s disease (CD) is nonspecific granulomatous inflammatory disease of all layers of the intestinal wall, characterized by a variety of clinical forms, heterogeneity of age groups of children and extraintestinal manifestations.  The diagnosis of the disease is difficult due to the presence of many  symptoms specific to a number of other surgical diseases of the abdominal cavity organs. This diagnosis is often made intraoperatively. In this study we report a case of treatment of a teenage girl who was admitted with complaints of a mass in the right iliac region extruding above the skin surface, instability of body weight, an increase in body temperature to 37.2° C for one month. As a result of laboratory and instrumental examination, the etiology was not established. Laparoscopy revealed abdominal infiltrate, consisting of the cecum, the distal ileum and a part of the greater omentum, tightly fixed to the anterior abdominal wall, which led to the destruction ofthe peritoneum, muscle tissue and aponeurosis with further infiltration into the sub-cutaneous fat. Appendectomy and separation of the infiltrate were performed. After that, the girl was discharged due to the categorical refusal of the parents of the further treatment.Twelve days later the patient had abdominal pain again, the dynamics of the pain syndrome intensified, the body temperature was febrile. After examination and detection of signs of peritonitis, emergency laparotomy, subtotal resection of the greater omentum, separation of the abdominal infiltrate (repeated), sanitation and drainage of the abdominal cavity were performed. During the surgery, the access to the abdominal cavity was performed with technical difficulties due to the fact that a conglomerate of intestinal loops and omentum was fixed to the anterior abdominal wall from the interior. The conglomerate was separated from the anterior abdominal wall by blunt dissection. The size of the conglomerate was up to 12–15 cm, formed by the transverse colon, the ileum and the greater omentum. The walls of the transverse colon and ileum in the area of the conglomerate had the cartilaginous density. For the purpose of further examination and determination of tactics for further treatment, the child was transferred to the Gastroenterology Department with a diagnosis of “Terminal ileitis. Purulent omentitis. Serous peritonitis. Mild normochromic anemia of mixed origin. Crohn’s disease?” After the additional examination in a specialized hospital, the diagnosis of CD was confirmed.

Acute chlorine gas poisoning leads to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and, as a consequence, dysfunction of the cardiovascular system (CVS). We report a clinical case of toxic myocardial injury with gaseous  chlorine. In a man with coronary artery disease and polypathy, toxic  myocardial injury mimicked acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and was accompanied by a large area of left ventricular microvascular dysfunction, which did not coincide with the areas of blood supply of altered coronary arteries; the dynamics of electrocardiographic changes resembled  myocardial stunning in Takotsubo syndrome (TS). The effect of chlorine on CVS, features of clinical and instrumental diagnostics and differentiation of primary / secondary CT and ACS are discussed.

Published: April 2021

BACKGROUND Much attention is currently given to the issues of surgical treatment of common forms of secondary peritonitis, which is associated with unsuccessful results of treatment of this group of patients and the lack of a unified approach to surgical tactics among patients requiring repeated surgical interventions for adequate sanitation of the abdominal cavity.

AIM OF STUDY Improvement of the immediate results of treatment of patients with generalized secondary peritonitis by determining the approaches to choosing the optimal surgical tactics.

MATERIAl AND METHODS We analyzed the results of treatment of 220 patients with common forms of secondary peritonitis who were treated at the Elizavetinskaya hospital of St. Petersburg in the period from 2013 to 2019. The indicated patients were divided into two groups, comparable in terms of the main features, including the depth pathomorphological changes in the abdominal cavity, assessed by calculating abdominal cavity index (ACI) and the Mannheim peritonitis Index (MPI). The main group consisted of 109 patients, where developed algorithm was used, which supposed planned sanitation relaparotomies within up to 2 days in patients with high values of ACI and MPI. The comparison group included 111 patients who underwent sanitation interventions “on demand”, that is, in the presence of signs of persistence of the infectious process in the abdominal cavity. The results of treatment were compared by assessing the level and structure of postoperative mortality, the frequency of complications, and the length of stay in intensive care units and hospital. Mathematical-statistical dataprocessing, calculations of intensive and extensive coefficients of features, assessment of the statistical significance of differences in features for the studied groups were carried out.

RESUlTS The use of a differentiated approach to performing planned relaparotomy in patients with generalized peritonitis made it possible to reduce the overall mortality 1.7-fold (from 51.3 to 30.2%) (p=0.001) due to a decrease in the proportion of abdominal sepsis as a cause of unfavorable the outcome. No significant effect of the use of this algorithm on the frequency and structure of complications, as well as the duration of multiple organ failure, was found.

FINDINGS The use of planned relaparotomy among the selected patients helps to reduce postoperative mortality without significantly negatively affecting other treatment results.

BACKGROUND Structural damage to the brain substance in adults is one of the most common causes of epilepsy. Currently, such patients are prescribed drug therapy and/or surgery. With this approach, epileptic symptoms can persist in a significant proportion of patients (up to 30%, depending on the disease).

AIM OF STUDY To clarify the efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (STS) as part of the complex treatment of patients suffering from pharmacoresistant symptomatic epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis, vascular malformations, and some benign tumors of the brain and its membranes.

MATERIAl AND METHODS Examination and radiosurgical treatment were carried out in 45 patients with various brain diseases accompanied by symptomatic epilepsy, provided that the previous conservative or surgical treatment was insufficiently effective. During the observation period, the frequency of seizures was assessed and the presence and nature of postoperative complications were recorded.

RESUlTS With a median follow-up of 30 months, good outcomes (class I–II according to J. Engel’s scale) were observed in 5 out of 8 patients with hippocampal sclerosis who underwent STS after  amygdaloghippocamplobectomy; seizure frequency decreased in all patients. Complications of STS were noted in 2 patients and had a transient nature. In the group of patients with meningiomas, in 4 out of 8 patients, seizures completely stopped, in 3 patients the frequency of seizures decreased by more than 90%, in another 1 the frequency of seizures decreased by 60%. There were no complications of STS during the observation period. Inintracerebral tumors (diffuse astrocytoma), Engel Ia outcome was observed in both patients. In the group of patients with cavernous angiomas, there were good outcomes (class I–II according to J. Engel’s scale) in 17 patients (85%). Deterioration (Engel IVc outcome) was observed in 1 patient (5%), 2 patients (10%) had complications of STS. In the group of patients with arteriovenous malformations, good outcomes (classes I–II according to J. Engel’s scale) were found in all 7 patients. The complication after STS was revealed in 1 patient.

CONClUSION The presented results confirm the high efficiency and low risk of side effects when using stereotactic radiosurgery in the complex treatment of patients with epilepsy associated with common structural brain lesions.

Published: April 2021

Starting from the general principles of the concept of positive discipline, the paper points out that schools and teachers can significantly contribute to the application of positive discipline to affect different aspects of a student’s personality development. The potentials of applying positive discipline in the school for developing adolescents’ self-esteem are particularly emphasized. Accordingly, this paper will present the results of a study that aimed to establish a correlation between assessing the presence of positive discipline in a school context and the level of adolescents’ self-esteem. The survey included a convenience sample of 195 high school students from three high schools - art, technical, and grammar school. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the scale for assessing the presence of positive discipline in the school were used to collect the data. The results showed that adolescents exhibit a high level of self-esteem, while their assessment of the presence of positive discipline in school is moderate. Also, it was found that with the increase in the assessment of the presence of positive discipline in school, the level of adolescents’ self-esteem increased, and the statistically significant moderating role of the measured variables was found only in the type of high school. The conclusion points to the need to sensitize teachers to manage the classroom according to the principles of positive discipline, as well as the importance of creating the conditions that, through the phenomenon of positive discipline, effectively raise the quality of schoolwork as a whole.

Authors: Camacho-Torres Deiby Marcela , Arenas Yury Marcela
Published: April 2021

Introducción. La mortalidad materna se define como la muerte durante el embarazo o el puerperio, por causas relacionadas con la gestación. Las principales causas de mortalidad materna han variado en países desarrollados, donde la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa se encuentra en ascenso. Objetivo. Evaluar el nivel de riesgo para enfermedad tromboembólica venosa en el puerperio, en pacientes atendidas en la clínica Esimed de Tunja, año 2017. Método. Estudio observacional con diseño transversal analítico en una población de 1538 gestantes, con una muestra de 304 pacientes seleccionadas mediante muestreo aleatorio simple, a partir de la base de datos reportada por el sistema de información de la institución prestadora de salud. Se tuvieron en cuenta variables sociodemográficas, así como vía del parto, presencia de clasificación de riesgo para enfermedad tromboembólica venosa en la historia clínica y empleo de tromboprofilaxis. Resultados. Se encontró mayor probabilidad de tener parto por cesárea en pacientes mayores de 35 años, con respecto al grupo de comparación. Un 75,9% de la población no presentó clasificación de riesgo para enfermedad tromboembólica venosa, por tanto, solo el 10,1% presentó indicación de tromboprofilaxis en pacientes que la requerían. Conclusiones. Es necesario realizar una adecuada clasificación de riesgo a todas las pacientes que están siendo atendidas en la institución; así como la relevancia de controlar los factores de  riesgo que mayor implicación demostrada tienen para el desarrollo de enfermedad tromboembólica venosa,  como es el caso de la cesárea.
Sarcoma cardíaco metastático a miembros inferiores
Authors: Picón-Jaimes Yelson Alejandro , Orozco-Chinome Javier E , Ortega-Uribe Leec Fabían David
Published: April 2021

Introducción. Las neoplasias de corazón son patologías infrecuentes con tasas de incidencias en reportes de autopsias menores al 0.02 %. El 75 % de esos tumores son de comportamiento benigno y solo el 25 % restante se considera cáncer. Aunque se presentan en ambos sexos, la relación hombres mujeres es de 2.5:1 respectivamente. Presentación del caso. Reportamos el caso de un paciente de 41 años a quien se diagnosticó con un sarcoma primario de corazón, en atrio izquierdo, con inmunohistoquímica compatible con sarcoma indiferenciado con metástasis a miembros inferiores, que debutó con deterioro de la clase funcional y pérdida de peso involuntaria, lo cual lo llevó a consultar al médico.  Discusión. Los sarcomas indiferenciados constituyen una patología poco frecuente en la literatura médica, encontrando solo unos pocos reportes de casos que comparten datos relacionados con el sitio de localización de la lesión y los síntomas clínicos de los pacientes. Sin embargo, aquí se pone de manifiesto un extraño caso de metástasis a miembros inferiores, el cual fue considerado luego de descartar la presencia de un foramen oval permeable o lesiones pulmonares que hicieran pensar en una secuencia de migración tumoral diferente. Conclusiones. Se trata de una patología compleja con pobre pronóstico a largo plazo, la cual requiere mayor investigación y tratamiento multifactorial con equipos multidisciplinarios para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

Authors: Castellanos Arenas Mariano
Published: April 2021

This paper talks about the heritage valuation of a landscape whose structure is conformed by the hydraulic installations located along the Cantarranas River, in the Atlixco Valley. In other words, the water that runs through this river is the backbone of a whole set of first-rate rural, urban and industrial cultural assets, whose historical background is the pre-Hispanic period; however, for this chapter I will only address the landscape of water that existed between the years1898 -1928 and its relationship with textile factories in the area. Likewise, from the perspective of heritage studies, it is considered that this territory has been shaped by the use of water, in whose configuration we find a rich industrial heritage. In this sense, the objective of this analysis is to systematically reveal how the industrial landscape in the valley is structured and at the same time to analyze the distribution of water, its differente uses, its driving force and the water volumes that were needed to make each one of the six factories located in the valley work. To conclude, it is about realizing the importance of water in Atlixco as the backbone of the landscape and as a common heritage.

Volad: Una propuesta de intercomunicación con la infancia
Authors: Ballesteros Aguayo Lucía
Published: April 2021

Las revistas infantiles de postguerra representan un referente literario dentro de la tradición artística española. Volad como medio periodístico financiado por Acción Católica se divulgó durante diez años entre sus suscriptoras. La singularidad de los testimonios estéticos publicados así como la promoción de estructuras de participación lectora elevaron elcarácter artístico del soporte. La inclusión en el diseño interno de la publicación de «Pluma al Viento» y «Correo de Pluma al Viento» como espacios de intercomunicación constante y periódica con el público infantil promovieron la implicación del niño en la elaboración de la revista al mismo tiempo que estimularon la expresión literaria. La mayoría de las indicaciones se referían a la necesidad de una adaptación temática, laconveniencia de imprimir una estructura argumental clara y concluyente, la versificación de los recursos expresivos, la excitación imaginativa, la adopción de un estilo poético y la corrección ortográfica y gramatical. De esta manera, el soporte periodístico no sólo era entendido como un canal a través del cual el niño se divertía y estimulaba sus capacidades imaginativas y literarias, sino que al mismo tiempo era considerado como un espacio para la promoción de autores. En definitiva, la tarea desarrollada por Volad como vehículo de expresión de la infancia permite que se erija como paradigma de educación literaria con amplia repercusión en la actual tradición literaria española.

Una clasificación de las inferencias pragmáticas orientada a la didáctica
Authors: Ripoll Salceda Juan C.
Published: April 2021

Aunque existen varias clasificaciones de las inferencias, ninguna de ellas es comúnmente aceptada y apenas se utilizan en educación. Teniendo en cuenta que las inferencias aportan una información que no aparece de forma explícita en el texto, se propone una clasificación basada en las preguntas a las que responde esa información. Los cinco tipos de inferencias que se distinguen son compatibles con buena parte de las clasificaciones que se han desarrollado previamente y han sido identificados en estudios experimentales con niños y adolescentes.

Peer tutoring has proven to be an effective method for teaching reading. In this experiment 106 2nd grade students received nine sessions of the LEO-PAR-D peer tutoring program. Participants performed reciprocal tutoring, supervising partner reading, asking questions and giving points for reading or responding correctly. In addition, they made predictions and answared to questions about the texts. The reading level was assessed before and after intervention with the tests ACL-2, TECLE and PEES. In all three cases there was a significant improvement. The effect size was small for reading comprehension and moderate for reading efficiency.The results of this experiment indicate that the LEO-PAR-D program could be useful in improving some aspects of reading, therefore, further investigation is warranted to evaluate the program effectiveness with a stronger design.

Authors:   Final Year Physiotherapy, Department of Physiotherapy, D.Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Gurav Anushree Kailas
Published: April 2021

Background: Significant structural deformity of the spine often accompanies cerebral palsy. Progression of curve will eventually lead to pain, loss of ambulation, sitting balance. The aetiology of scoliosis in CP has yet to be well defined. Objective: The objective of this study was to find incidence of scoliosis in different sub-types of cerebral palsy. Method: A total population of 30 children with cerebral palsy aged 5 to 20 years followed with examination and assessment for scoliosis in a health care setting was analysed. GMFCS level, CP subtype, age at diagnosis, gender dominance of the condition were correlates registered. Effect of 5 factors on progression of the curve and type of scoliosis dominant in cerebral palsy was studied. Results: Of the 30 subjects initially enrolled in the study, 19 of them with scoliosis in which incidence of 28% was found among spastic quadriplegia followed by 24% in diplegia. The risk of scoliosis increased with GMFCS level and age. 22% of children showed moderate scoliosis with respect to scoliosis appearance questionnaire. Conclusions: Scoliosis was most common in the spastic group with the highest incidence in the spastic quadriplegics. There was a definite inverse relationship between the level of ambulation and scoliosis: the higher the level of ambulation the lower the incidence of scoliosis. Moderate scoliosis was found because progression of curve is expected to continue until skeletal maturity.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: There is a trend of declining cereal intake particularly coarse cereals and really low increase of consumption of other food items within the rural diet, which has often been explained as an expected outcome of economic growth Aims & Objectives: 1). To observe the dietary pattern of different food items and their timely consumption. 2). To assess the consumption and practices of daily food items used in kitchen. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study done in Nathnagar areas (Bihar) in the month of March, 2017 with the help of pre-tested semi structured questionnaire amongst the rural population. Total 154 subjects were interviewed in one-month period. Result: maximum participants 51 (33.11%) belong to 22-27 years of age group and majority of the population were literate. It was also found that 127 (82.46%) of participants consume green vegetables daily and daily consumption of beverages such as tea and coffee were seen common to 152 (98.7%) participants. Iodized Salt intake consumption was seen in majority 151 (98%). Washing practices of cereals, at least two times a day was seen in 94 (61%) participant and it was also observed that 123 (79.87%) participants practiced washing of vegetables before cutting. Conclusion: Most of them where vegetarian by diet. As of education part all most all the participants were from the literate groups which depicts a good overview of society regarding studies. Many of them were aware of their consumption of food and its pattern, still few were lagging. Overall, everyone had different pattern of food habit and it shows that much work has to be done in the field of health dimension with the help of education and motivation and through implementation of healthy life style behaviour in terms of nutrition and its monitoring from time to time.
The Impact of Garrick Braide's Revival on the Growth of Methodism in Eastern Nigeria between 1910 and 1932
Authors: Ekebuisi Chinonyerem Chijioke
Published: April 2021

The missionaries of the Primitive Methodist Mission pioneered into Igboland in 1910 and encountered opposition and difficulties. Efforts to become established were hindered by several factors. However, starting from 1914, a religious awakening led by Garrick Braide, an African convert of Niger Delta Pastorate Church (i.e. Anglican Church in the Niger Delta), spread throughout Igboland causing widespread religious revival. Using original source material, this article examines how the Primitive Methodist Mission benefitted greatly from this religious awakening, and subsequently witnessed phenomenal growth and consolidation in Igboland.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) merupakan salah satu gangguan pada lengan tangan akibat penyempitan terowongan karpal sehingga terjadi penekanan terhadap nervus medianus. Gerakan tangan saat menggunakan keyboard dan mouse dalam bermain game online memiliki tingkat repetisi tinggi pada jari tangan sehingga dapat berpengaruh terhadap kejadian CTS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui proporsi dan faktor risiko CTS pada siswa SMA pemain game online di Kota Denpasar. Penelitian kuantitatif analitik dengan rancangan cross-sectional study. Responden berjumlah 70 siswa dengan teknik pengambilan sampel purposive sampling. Hasil menunjukan proporsi CTS responden sebesar 31,43% dengan kategori ringan. Seluruh variabel karakteristik individu yang mencakup usia (p=0,25) dan jenis kelamin (p=0,50) tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan kejadian CTS, sedangkan variabel pola bermain, perangkat bermain, dan repetitive motion (p=0,00) terbukti memiliki hubungan bermakna dengan kejadian CTS. Pola bermain merupakan faktor risiko yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kejadian CTS pada siswa pemain game online dengan OR= 23,74. Oleh karena itu diperlukan adanya dukungan pemerintah berupa program preventif - rehabilitatif bagi pecandu game untuk mengedukasi siswa dan orangtua terkait dampak game online.

Australia’s Travel Advice Policy and Its Impact on Australian Tourist Visits to Bali
Authors: Kumala Dewi Putu Ratih
Published: April 2021

The plan to ratify the new Criminal Code in Indonesia is responded by Australia through issuing a travel advice policy in 2019. There has a concern that this policy will have an impact on the tourism sector in Indonesia, especially Bali, because the Australian tourists are recorded as dominating the visits. By using the concept of travel advice and foreign policy, this study aimed to analyze the travel advice policy issued by Australia from the perspective of International Relations and its impact on the tourism in Bali. This study used qualitative descriptive method and the primary data collection was done through interviews with the hoteliers in Bali and Australian tourists visiting Bali. From the perspective of International Relations, it is found that Australia’s travel advice is a foreign policy that has a purpose based on Australia’s national interests. This policy has no impact on Australian tourist visits because it is not a binding policy. The Australian tourists' have their own opinion about Bali and the decisions to visit affected by the clarity information from targeted state or destination.
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF ENTROPY GENERATION FOR CASSON FLUID FLOW THROUGH PERMEABLE WALLS AND CONVECTIVE HEATING WITH THERMAL RADIATION EFFECT

In this work, the influence of entropy generation analysis for an electrically conducting Casson fluid flow with convective boundary conditions has been numerically studied. The governing equations are analyzed numerically using weighted residual methods. Subsequently, the residuals were minimized using two different approaches of weighted residual method namely collocation weighted residual method (CWRM) and Galerkin weighted residual method (GWRM) and computed numerically using MATHEMATICAL software. The impacts of governing parameters on Casson flow velocity, temperature profile, local skin friction, and Nusselt number were analysed. The obtained solutions were used to determine the heat transfer irreversibility and bejan number of the model. The results of the computation show that the effect of thermophysical properties such as thermal radiation parameter, suction/injection parameter, magnetic field parameter, radiation parameter, and Eckert number has a significant influence on Skin friction coefficient (Cf) and local Nusselt number (Nu) when compared to the Newtonian fluid. The findings from this study are relevant to advances in viscoelasticity and enhanced oil recovery.
The Inability of the Victorian Gentleman to Reconcile Hedonism and Guilt in The Picture of Dorian Gray
Authors: Wallace Tamarra
Published: April 2021

The conflict between the rules of society and the rights of the individual can lead to a chaotic moral state. In Michael Brander’s The Victorian Gentleman, Brander details how Victorian gentlemen are permitted freedom as long as they adhere to social norms in public. In Joris-Karl’s Huysmans’ À Rebours, Huysmans details how a member of the Decadent movement, Des Esseintes, prioritizes the fulfilment of his own desires over societal expectations. In Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde demonstrates how the tension between the Victorian pressure to conform and the Decadent philosophy to seek pleasure leads to Dorian Gray’s downfall. In his condemnation of the Victorians for their equation of appearancewith morality, and the Decadents for their preference of sensation over morality in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde endeavours to show the consequences of the suppression of guilt.In The Picture of Dorian Gray, the tension between the Victorian notion of the appearance of morality and the Decadent tendency to subvert the significance of art to moralityculminates in Dorian Gray’s inability to accept that he possesses guilt. As his participation in the Decadent lifestyle leads to his indulgence and vice, and he cannot distinguish between his looksand his conscience, he experiences the loss of the primary component of morality: the soul.
2. Correlations between Urbanization and Reproductive Fitness in Agelauis phoeniceus (Red-Winged Blackbird)
Authors: Gong Sophie
Published: April 2021

Urbanization has complex and diverse effects on the environment. How do animals respond to such dramatic changes to their habitat? In this study, I investigated the relationship between the degree of habitat urbanization and reproductive success in Red-Winged Blackbirds. I located and sampled two populations of Red-Winged Blackbirds: one rural population located at the Queen’s University Biological Station in Elgin, Ontario, and one urban population located at Belle Park in Kingston, Ontario. I mapped nesting territories from both populations and evaluated them for parameters such as water, marshland, and vegetation cover, as well as distance to roads, trails, and buildings. I also took physical measurements from adult birds, eggs, and nestlings of each territory to evaluate reproductive fitness. With this data, I will compare the degree of habitat urbanization with reproductive success. I hope to see meaningful relationships that might reveal how breeding Red-Winged Blackbirds respond to urbanized landscapes, and what key components of nesting territory might influence their reproductive success. With our society currently experiencing the largest wave of urban growth in history, it is crucial to understand the effects of this growth on other species and how we can most effectively preserve ecological value in urban landscapes.
4. "Fond of Flourishing Knives at Her": A History of Domestic Violence in Kingston
Authors: Harlock Brynn
Published: April 2021

This research examines cases of domestic violence in Kingston, Ontario at the turn of the 19th century. In doing so, I identify several strategies employed by Kingstonian women to ensure the well-being of themselves and their families, including presenting themselves as victims, advocating for their children’s safety, threatening legal prosecution, and physical retaliation. The time period studied in this research includes the rise of Evangelicalism in North America, a high prevalence of temperance advocacy, and increasing public concern for previously private domestic violence. Focusing exclusively on data from 1890-1911, the research first draws upon cases of domestic battery and assault as recorded in historical Kingston police records housed at the Queen’s University archives. Next, it analyzes court sentences and newspaper coverage of those cases to determine public response to domestic abuse. Upon examination of these sources it becomes apparent that legal authorities and society at large were more sympathetic to women who appeared meek and victimized, rather than those whose responses to violence challenged traditional understandings of femininity.
11. Substituting Biofuel for Coal: Determining the Optimal Perennial Grass Species and Nitrogen Fertilization Level for Bioenergy Production in Eastern Ontario
Authors: Mendelson Andrew
Published: April 2021

Renewable energy production has become an increasingly important issue in recent years due to climate change and energy security issues, and bioenergy crops may be able to supply a large amount of the world’s energy needs. Bioenergy is a carbon-neutral energy source, and perennial grasses are an ideal bioenergy crop due to their high growth rates and ability to grow under a range of conditions. To enhance grass productivity, nitrogen fertilization is often applied to this crop, but this can lead to increased Lafarge Cement in Bath, Ontario, three perennial grass species (Panicum virgatum, Schizachyrium scoparium and Andropogon gerardii) are being grown in conjuction with three fertilization treatments (0, 50 and 150 lbs. per acre of nitrogen as urea) to explore the tradeoffs associated with using nitrogen fertilizer in these bioenergy systems. Soil N2O emissions were measured weekly during the growing season following fertilizer application in May 2013. At the same time, various soil properties known to influence N2O emissions (e.g. pH, soil nitrate, soil temperature, soil moisture) were measured. Crop productivity was measured at the end of the growing season to determine the species and fertilization level at which GHG emission benefits are maximized. The results of this study will demonstrate the viability of perennial grasses as a bioenergy crop for industrial purposes in Eastern Ontario by identifying the maximum GHG benefits that this bioenergy system can achieve in this region.
