Economic Growth with Social Status, Spirit of Capitalism, and Conspicuous Consumption
Authors: Zhang Wei-Bin
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study is to introduce social status, conspicuous consumption, and spirit of capitalism into neoclassical growth model. This paper studies a dynamic interdependence between economic growth, economic structural change, income and wealth distribution, social status, conspicuous consumption, and spirit of capitalism in a small-open economy. We build a heterogeneous-households growth model with endogenous wealth accumulation and social status. The dynamics of J-households economy is described by J differential equations. We simulate the motion of the model with three groups of households. We carry out comparative dynamic analysis with regard to some parameters.
Manual Scavenging and the Issue of Untouchability in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable
Authors: Gopika Unni P
Published: December 2020

Untouchability is an evil social menace, where certain group of people are discriminated or alienated based on their caste, class or job from the mainstream sections of the society. Untouchables are the most oppressed and marginalized people, who often lack right and voice in the public domain. Manual scavenging is considered or treated as a job attributed to the untouchables of lowest strata of the society. These people are not given any dignity due to their job of carrying human waste using their bare hands. Mulk Raj Anand presents the sufferings and hardships of an untouchable boy named Bakha as a manual scavenger faced in the casteist society through his well known novel Untouchable.

The Representations and Implications of Gender Stereotypes Portrayed in Three Selected TV Advertisements Shown in Bangladesh: A Critical Interpretation
Authors: Shafi Saheeh
Published: December 2020

This paper aims at a precise interpretation of gender stereotypes portrayed in the three selected TV advertisements in order to find out their implications in Bangladeshi context. The analysis begins with Goffman’s Gender Stereotypes Hypothesis, a theoretical framework to examine and justify the thematic features present in the ads. After critically examining the hypothesis and Kress and Van Leeuwen’s Systemic Functional Analysis framework is used to analyse and interpret the semiotic features such as; the signs and symbols. After that, Fairclough’s Discourse Analysis is used to find out the stylistic features and their implied meanings in the advertisements to search the social, cultural and political implications. Then the paper uses Pope’s The Rape of the Lock and it’s Cultural-Ecofeminist Analysis of Francois d’Eaubonne to connect the above mentioned frameworks from a contextual view-point. To give the interpretation of Stereotypes deeply rooted in the minds of both male and female, Freud’s Psychoanalysis is used. Both Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis are taken into consideration for exploring the Gender Stereotypes thoroughly. This research is basically a blend of Literature, Language and Gender along with other Disciplines to interpret Stereotypes from a holistic framework. To predict the future progression of the gender representations and their implications in the coming years in Bangladesh, an umbrella term “Multi-Disciplinary Framework” will be used to examine whether the changes in gender roles both at home and outside in the workplaces due to the changes in different socio-economic and cultural factors are reflected or not in the TV advertisements.

HOME. Architecture of a house in today’s Poland, problem or challenge?
Authors: Kwiatkowski Krzysztof
Published: December 2020

What really is a single family house? The historical fate of the Polish are quite turbulent and confusing. The turbulent history is also a detached building development in Poland. We can not clearly define what it really for each of us is a single - family house. Inside the house man spends much of his life, subordinates the space, creates a place, but do you wonder like to live and what kind of space is around him. Every house is a unique kind of statement objects, colors that everyone creates. Individuality and uniqueness in comparison with the overall impression created? Does is not become a problem that Polish homes landscape is so varied and unreadable. And what is really a Polish home.? Is there a pattern by which we recognize clearly that this is a type of Polish, regional? Do we really need such a type, relying on him to create modern architecture? Most are in the emerging architecture of residential buildings, whose framework we are not able to identify clearly because of the complexity of the problem which is the complexity of human society. The total subordination of single-family housing in order to create a Polish home is not possible. There is also a good solution from the problem of building a house and leaving it to anyone who intends to build his own house. It seems clear that there should be some clear rules or guidelines which could indicate the right way in shaping the single – family houses.

El experimento crucial de Galileo
Authors: Cassini Alejandro
Published: December 2020

En los Discorsi Galileo afirma haber realizado un experimento, cuyo resultado fue negativo, para determinar si la luz tarda tiempo en propagarse. En este trabajo analizo ese experimento como crucial entre las hipótesis rivales según las cuales la luz se propaga con velocidad infinita o con velocidad finita. Procuro determinar las hipótesis auxiliares y la carga teórica que presupone el diseño experimental. Argumento que las hipótesis presupuestas son razonables y que la carga teórica es muy baja. Sostengo que en principio es posible un experimento crucial exitoso, esto es, con resultado positivo, como el concebido por Galileo. Concluyo que la hipótesis de que la luz se propaga con velocidad finita no es refutable mediante un experimento de esta clase, por lo cual cualquier resultado negativo es compatible con ambas hipótesis rivales. Como consecuencia de ello, la hipótesis de que la luz, o cualquier otra interacción física, se propagan con velocidad infinita resulta inverificable.

Mind your words. Language and war metaphors in the COVID - 19 pandemic
Authors: Brencio Francesca
Published: December 2020

Through this contribution I aim to show how the role of language and metaphors is fundamental to our understanding of reality, affecting the way we ordinarily act and live, and particularly important in facing fears and anguish. This is more evident in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic, where our experiences of language and of the world seem to be characterised mainly by war terminology. Politicians declare themselves at war fighting an invisible enemy and health care workers, who are in direct contact with COVID-19 positive patients, are said to be “fighting” on the “frontlines”. Starting from a philosophical account of the relationship between language, fear and anguish, I aim to show how this narrative is unhelpful, both for society at large and especially for patients and health care workers. While war narratives instil fear, it seems to me that new forms of solidarity and new models of coexistence are required. Since language shapes the way in which we think, live and act, it is important to choose words that encourage people to act responsibly, to cooperate and to overcome the hardships of the COVID19 pandemic together.
Is my body out of date? The drag of physicality in the digital age
Authors: Clarke Elly
Published: December 2020

At the 2019 Body of Knowledge Conference at Deakin University, I presented the third episode of performance-lecture series ‘Is My Body Out of Date?’ in collaboration with Melbourne-based artists Bon Mott and Sean Miles. Punctuated by quotes and phrases from a range of theorists, writers and artists including Karen Barad, Caroline Bassett, Laboria Cuboniks, Ian McEwan, Oscar Wilde, Yon Heong Tung, ETA Hoffman, Gilbert Simondon, and my drag character #Sergina, the performance (struck) poses (around) the question of whether, in a world that is increasingly managed and experienced online, our bodies, as our primary mode of interaction, may be beginning to feel out of date. Is our desire for sweaty, messy, fleshy physical co-presence out of whack with the agility, efficiency and value of our algorithms? Performed live at a laptop with Mott and Miles as physical #BackupBodies for my own body that didn’t fly from London for ecological reasons, this physical/digital screenshare performance wove in video documentation from previous #Sergina performances in order to confuse and conflate what was happening now, and what already happened, what was live and what was pre-recorded. Here we played with issues of perception, presence, liveness and the fantasy of the (ex)changeability of identity and ‘drag’ (performance) of physicality within an ever-shifting media present.
What follows is a visual essay constructed out of the digital remnants of the performance: a (trans)script, a screen recording, screenshots and links to media located beyond the template of the text. The visual essay touches on key conference themes such as virtual embodiment, human/computer interaction, temporal coupling and time consciousness, knowledge-transfer and how technology affects the way we move, think and desire. Furthermore, the templates of Zoom video communications, of the laptop screen, of Chrome and the wider digital/physical conference model that hosted, directed (and dictated) the boundaries of our presentation reflect on the influence of design, layout and digit/al choreographies on the shaping and ordering of thought, knowledge and embodiment.
Sympathetic World-making: Drawing-out Ecological-Empathy
Authors: Ednie-Brown Pia
Published: December 2020

This article reflects on an experiment in drawing, titled Surrogate Drawing, in which an assemblage of people, materials and artefacts engaged in a live, improvisational process of co-production. The group was interested in how empathy might be cultivated through architectural drawing.
The article develops an argument across three main parts. The first part offers a brief overview of the drawing experiment, situated relative to some key assumptions and conventions of architectural drawing, via the work of Robin Evans and others. In particular, this involved unsettling the idea of translation and its underlying premise of projection—a premise that resonates with the concept of empathy. The second part moves into a series of first-person accounts, one from each author. This experiential access reveals degrees of complexity that question the model of projection as a primary operative principle for either drawing or empathy, calling for an alternative conceptual framework. The third part offers such an alternative, via Jakob von Uexküll’s work concerning the Umwelt, or perceptual life-worlds. Via Uexküll we come to better understand drawing as less of a process of translation or transmission, and more of a process of creative world-making. Through Uexküll’s depiction of the Umwelt as a ‘bubble,’ the paper offers an alternative diagrammatic to that of projective geometries: that of a foaming.
The manifestly collective world-making inherent in this drawing experiment leads us to conclude by opening up something we discuss as ‘ecological empathy’—or sympathy. It is proposed that drawing, if conceptually liberated from projective models, may be an important technique to cultivate ecological-empathy, or sympathy. This points toward a way that architecture might be reoriented toward sympathetic world-making.

Authors: Sanches Guilherme Lessa , Calabrez Larissa Pim , Stocco Anieli Vidal , Bolzan Thays Carvalho de Amorim , Di Filippo Paula Alessandra , Antunes Fernanda
Published: December 2020

A anestesia total intravenosa (TIVA) é uma técnica que vem sendo utilizada na prática anestésica veterinária, principalmente em pequenos animais. Seu emprego se popularizou na última década, devido aos novos estudos utilizando fármacos mais adequados, com menores efeitos cumulativos e menor tempo de recuperação anestésica. Objetivou-se avaliar a infusão de propofol juntamente com o bloqueio do plexo braquial em um ovino submetido a osteossíntese de rádio e ulna. A pré-medicação anestésica foi realizada com cetamina 10% na dose de 2 mg/Kg, a indução com propofol 1% na dose de 5 mg/Kg e a manutenção anestésica com propofol na dose de 0,25mg/Kg/min. O bloqueio do plexo braquial foi realizado com a associação de lidocaína 2% e bupivacaína 0,5%, ambas na dose de 0,12ml/Kg, com um volume final de 20 ml. Foram avaliados durante todo o procedimento: frequência cardíaca (FC), frequência respiratória (ƒ), saturação periférica de oxigênio na hemoglobina (SpO2) pressão arterial sistólica (PAS), pressão arterial diastólica (PAD), pressão arterial média (PAM), temperatura retal (T), reflexo palpebral, reflexo corneal e a profundidade anestésica. Os parâmetros foram anotados antes da medicação pré-anestésica (T0), imediatamente após a indução anestésica (T10), e depois, a cada 10 minutos, até o final da infusão (T90). Todos os parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios avaliados limitaram-se ao fisiológico para a espécie. Conclui-se que o protocolo de TIVA utilizado no ovino promoveu anestesia para realização da osteossíntese, juntamente ao bloqueio do plexo braquial, que foi essencial para a analgesia e para manutenção anestésica adequada.

Published: December 2020

Studies on metabolic balance in hermatypic corals have been unable to separate the analysis ofanimal’s respiration from that of plant. The objective of this research was to determine the metabolic balance in the mutualistic symbiosis polyp-algae through incubations in respirometric chambers of twelve fragments of coral. The species studied Porites panamensis (Scleractinia: Poritidae), Verrill, 1866 was collected near La Paz, Baja California Sur, México. Experiments were  performed during fall 2009 and winter 2010. Water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, irradiance and photosynthetic pigments were measured every two hours during the incubation times. The concentration of pigments was  determined through spectrophotometry. The maximum primary production was at 12:00 h, with 3.80 mg O2∙l-1∙h-1 for fall and 4.92 mg O2∙l-1∙h-1 for  winter. According to the P : R (Production :  Respiration) ratio of 1.90 for fall and 2.07 for winter, the mutualistic symbiosis in P. panamensis showed a predominantly autotrophic behavior. The relative quotients of chlorophyll concentrations (mg∙polyp-1), Chl a : Chl c2, were 1.0 : 0.69 for fall and 1.0 : 1.22 for winter; while ratio of concentrations chlorophyll a : carotenes , Chl a : carotenes (both in mg∙polyp-1), were 1.0 : 2.13 for fall and 1.0 : 1.88 for winter. The high relative concentrations of Chl c2 and carotenes with respect to Chl a is explained as an adaptive response to high irradiance.

The processing of previously unclaimed ores and wastes as sources of non-ferrous metals, with an associated reduction in the environmental burden, is a promising field of research. Besides, many relatively minor non-ferrous metal deposits with complex mining engineering and geological properties exist, whose development by conventional mining methods is not economically feasible. The theoretical possibility of processing the cut-off grade copper-nickel objects of Murmansk Region was shown. Process conditionswere found making the process economically feasible. Processing these mineral feed types will also allow in the long term to improve the environmental situation in the region.

Неточное определение термина порождает неоднозначное толкование и, как следствие, искажение (неправильный выбор) противопожарных мероприятий. Авторы данной статьи проанализировали несколько наиболее часто употребляемых терминов, используемых в нормативных правовых актах и нормативных документах, и пришли к выводу, что определения многих терминов нуждаются в корректировке, а также сформулировали предложения по изменению определений некоторых терминов и отдельных пунктов Технического регламента о требованиях пожарной безопасности и сводов правил.

An inaccurate definition of the term generates the polysemantic interpretation and, as a result, falsification (incorrect choice) of fire prevention measures. The authors of the article analyzed several of the most frequently used terms applied in regulatory legal acts and normative documents. The authors concluded that the definitions of many terms need to be adjusted. The authors also formulated proposals for changing the definitions of certain terms and particular paragraphs of the Technical Regulations on fire safety requirements as well as Codes of Rules.

Currently, Internet resources are widely used in medical education, becoming one of the key tools of e-learning. We have developed a web application for congenital malformations and anomalies for medical students as an additional tool for self-learning. The web application contains two components: multimedia descriptions of congenital malformations, including images, animations, videos and interactive graphical tests; and the knowledge control module. It is important to evaluate effectiveness of web application and to improve the quality of the resources. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a web application by analyzing user knowledge dynamics and use the information to improve content. The anonymous testing involved 260 users – doctors, medical students and teachers. Using the longitudinal method of the study, we analyzed the dynamics of the group-averaged rate of correct responses after repeated testing attempts. The results showed differences in the initial level of knowledge of users, and the results of medical students’ tests in dynamics were improved more than the results of doctors. The initial value of the percentage of correct responses to the control questions and the growth dynamics of this indicator after repeated attempts are important indicators for assessing the usefulness of a particular question. For developers, this information, based on objective indicators, has proved useful for improving the educational resource.

Published: December 2020

This paper presents a thermogravimetric analysis and combustion test for different coals used in a coal-fired power plant in Malaysia. The main objective is to investigate the suitability of adopting a newly-introduced sub-bituminuous coal in an existing boiler furnace commonly firing standard design coals. In order to ensure that the new coal will not give an adverse effect to the boiler, detail analytical and thermal performance of the new coal is investigated, together with design and other limiting coals. The combustion test was performed in a scaled down, 150kW, single swirl burner combustion test facility available in TNB Research Sdn. Bhd. In the study, combustion gas temperature at different sectors downstream of burner region is measured to determine the peak temperature for all tested coals. Based on the investigation, it was noted that coal with the highest fixed carbon content gives the highest temperature measure at all sectors. Similarly, coal with the lowest fixed carbon gives the lowest temperature. The temperature profile for the newly tested coal was found to be comparable to the design and limiting value coals. Even though it was observed that the temperature given by the new coal is the highest slightly downstream of the burner, the temperature was observed to be decreases as combustion gas flow downstream of the combustor rig. Based on the observation it can be said that the new coal is suitable to be used by the existing boiler furnace.
Peri-tumoral Lymphovascular density by antipodoplanin antibody D2-40, as a predictor of nodal metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Parvez Kunwar , Arora Vipin , Wadhwa Neelam
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND:
The involvement of regional lymph nodes by cancer is a major determinant of prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and is a significant predictor of patient survival. Peri-tumoral lymphangiogenesis is being studied as an important tool in predicting neck lymph node metastasis. Podoplanin, a transmembrane glycoprotein is expressed on lymphatic vessel endothelium and considered as a marker of lymphangiogenesis.  The high podoplanin expression has been associated with invasion, progression, and metastasis of oral cancer. D2-40, an anti-podoplanin monoclonal antibody, is a specific marker of lymphatic endothelial cells. The present study was designed to investigate the peritumoral lymphovascular density (PT-LVD) by evaluating D2-40 expression and its potential utility in predicting lymph node metastasis in OSCC.
METHODS: Seventy-two patients with OSCC were enrolled (36 with early and 36 with advanced-stage tumors). Differential expression of peritumoral lymphovascular density (PT-LVD) was evaluated using D2-40 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Expression was categorized as low and high, derived from the mean of a number of vessels per 10 high power fields in hot-spots. Statistical methods were employed to correlate expression with age, gender, tumor site, stage, and neck lymph node involvement. 
RESULTS: We observed a significant association between peritumoral lymphovascular density (PT-LVD) with clinical neck lymph node status (p=0.001) and tumor stage (p=0.033).  There was no significant correlation of D2-40 expression with age, gender, tumor site, T stage, and tumor differentiation.
CONCLUSION:  PT-LVD is a positive predictor of neck lymph node metastasis. It has translational potential, along with other clinical parameters for decision making in the treatment of the neck in oral cancer.
Challenges Facing IMGs in General Practice and Solutions Founded on Educational Praxis
Authors: Holloway Stuart , Jones Linda
Published: December 2020

Objectives
Primary care in the United Kingdom is delivered through the National Health Service medical workforce comprising 25% international medical graduates. This study explored the challenges experienced by international participants as they progressed through speciality training in General Practice and sought solutions to those challenges through the lens of applied educational theory, or ‘praxis’.
Methods
The case-based methodology was founded on a qualitative paradigm and postpositivist theoretical framework. Data were collected from international medical graduates and General Practice Trainers via focus groups, on-line questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. A strategy of convergence of evidence underpinned thematic data analysis, triangulating data to construct theory through cycles of continuous iteration.
Findings
Challenges relating to difference, relationships, conceptual understanding and expertise, practical barriers, wellbeing and risk were countered by applied metacognition, emotional intelligence, resilience and curiosity. Trainee passivity confounded these solutions.
Conclusions
The considerable challenges encountered by participants, not all comprehended before commencement of training, were compounded by poor conceptual understanding of the NHS and primary care and impacted on educational progression and wellbeing. Strategies centred on the application of metacognition and applied curiosity. These findings have considerable potential for training programmes and policymakers with respect to trainee orientation and workforce development.
A Significant Increase in Detection of High-resolution Emission Spectra Using a Three-dimensional Atmospheric Model of a Hot Jupiter
Authors: Beltz Hayley , Rauscher Emily , Brogi Matteo , Kempton Eliza M.-R.
Published: December 2020

High-resolution spectroscopy has opened the way for new, detailed study of exoplanet atmospheres. There is evidence that this technique can be sensitive to the complex, three-dimensional (3D) atmospheric structure of these planets. In this work, we perform cross-correlation analysis of high-resolution (R ∼ 100,000) CRIRES/VLT emission spectra of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b. We generate template emission spectra from a 3D atmospheric circulation model of the planet, accounting for temperature structure and atmospheric motions—winds and planetary rotation—missed by spectra calculated from one-dimensional models. In this first-of-its-kind analysis, we find that using template spectra generated from a 3D model produces a more significant detection (6.9σ) of the planet’s signal than any of the hundreds of one-dimensional models we tested (maximum of 5.1σ). We recover the planet’s thermal emission, its orbital motion, and the presence of CO in its atmosphere at high significance. Additionally, we analyzed the relative influences of 3D temperature and chemical structures in this improved detection, including the contributions from CO and H2O, as well as the role of atmospheric Doppler signatures from winds and rotation. This work shows that the hot Jupiter’s 3D atmospheric structure has a first-order influence on its emission spectra at high resolution and motivates the use of multidimensional atmospheric models in high-resolution spectral analysis.

Published: December 2020

We identify 1325 member candidates of the open cluster (OC) Stock 2 using data from Gaia DR2. We use the algorithms Clusterix 2.0 and HDBSCAN to select cluster candidates and further refine the final cluster membership by defining neighbors in 5D phase space (X
cp, Y
cp,

/ϖ, κ · μ

δ
/ϖ). Among these candidates, less than half have G, G
BP, and G
RP extinctions from Gaia. When Gaia extinctions are unavailable, we compute extiction using empirical formulas and E(B − V) = 0.350. We analyze the spatial distribution and mass profile of Stock 2. Our results reveal Stock 2 is still a bound OC and we find evidence of mass segregation. By comparing initial mass functions, the present-day mass function indicates that Stock 2 is a massive stellar cluster with a mass of 4000 M
⊙. The core radius and tidal radius, calculated via the radial density profile and total mass, are 3.97 pc and 22.65 pc, respectively. Common stars between our selected member candidates and the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope DR7 medium-resolution catalog give a metalliclity of [Fe/H] = −0.040 ± 0.147.
Specific Effect of Peculiar Velocities on Dark-energy Constraints from Type Ia Supernovae
Authors: Huterer Dragan
Published: December 2020

Peculiar velocities of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) host galaxies affect the dark-energy parameter constraints in a small but very specific way: the parameters are biased in a single direction in parameter space that is a priori knowable for a given SN Ia data set. We demonstrate the latter fact with a combination of inference from a cosmological N-body simulation with overwhelming statistics applied to the Pantheon SN Ia data set, then confirm it by simple quantitative arguments. We quantify small modifications to the current analyses that would ensure that the effect of cosmological parameters is essentially guaranteed to be negligible.
The Role of Far-ultraviolet Pumping in Exciting the [O i] Lines in Protostellar Disks and Winds
Authors: Nemer Ahmad , Goodman Jeremy , Wang Lile
Published: December 2020

We use Cloudy to re-examine excitation of [O i] 6300 Å and [O i] 5577 Å in the X-ray driven photoevaporative wind models of Owen and collaborators, and in more recent magnetothermal models by Wang et al. We find that, at the measured accretion luminosities, the far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation would populate the upper levels of the oxygen, which would eventually contribute to the [O i] lines. FUV pumping competes with collisions as an excitation mechanism of the [O i] lines, and they each originate from a distinct region in the protostellar disk environment. Consequently, the line strengths and shapes of [O i] 6300 Å and [O i] 5577 Å would be affected by the inclusion of FUV pumping in the radiation transport simulations.
Total and faecal coliforms presence in cenotes of Cancun; Quintana Roo, Mexico

Published: December 2020

The large increase in population in Cancun, Mexico has increased domestic, agricultural and industrial activities, resulting in inadequate solid and liquid waste management that can affect underground aquifers. One of the factors which affects water quality is coliform bacteria. The present study focused on determining the presence of total and faecal coliforms in ten urban cenotes in Cancun. Sampling was carried out in the dry and rainy seasons of 2018. The Most Probable Number (MPN) technique was used to determine the concentration of coliform bacteria. The results from the analyses indicate that the ten cenotes are contaminated with total and faecal coliforms. Additionally, the concentration of coliforms increases during the rainy season. We conclude that all the cenotes are contaminated with faecal coliforms and suggest that more studies are necessary to determine the origin of this contamination and the impact on the ecosystem.
