Water and Environment of Kangsabati River
Authors: Das Gautam Kumar
Published: October 2024

The normal flow of the Kangsabati River, famous for its reservoir at Mukutmanipur, has been practically stopped due to damming on a temporary basis particularly in middle and downstream stretches. Although there are no significant towns on the riverbanks, water is polluted by mixing of waste materials in the river water from the non-point sources. The pollution level of this river is determined in the category of priority IV for BOD concentration 6.4 mg/l of the surface water samples near Midnapore town.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among women in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia, and to identify factors influencing their awareness.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study, conducted among women aged 18 years and older in Tabuk City Saudi Arabia. Data collection was done via an online questionnaire distributed through social media platforms. Results: The study involved 384 females in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The age distribution showed that the majority were under 34 years old (n = 263, 68.5%), with 97.1% being Saudi nationals.
Results indicated that most of the participants (n = 265, 69%) had a good awareness level about PCOS. High awareness rates correlated significantly with younger women (25-34 years, p-value = 0.041), with higher education levels (p-value = 0.010), and those working in the health sector (p-value = 0.002). Women diagnosed with PCOS had significantly better knowledge of PCOS (p-value= < 0.001). Awareness sources were predominantly media (45.1%), indicating a need for diversified education strategies.
Conclusion: The study revealed substantial PCOS awareness among females in Tabuk, particularly influenced by younger age, higher education, and health sector employment. However, knowledge gaps about symptoms and complications persist, highlighting the need for more diverse and comprehensive educational strategies beyond predominant media sources.

Published: October 2024

Objective:

The literature has reported that Newcastle disease virus (NDV) can have inhibitory effects on various tumors. This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which NDV induces pyroptosis in medulloblastoma (MB) cells.

Material and Methods:

We treated MB cell lines Daoy and D283 with NDV or recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-g) proteins. Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) were measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Small interfering RNA-specific targeting GBP1 was transfected into MB cells. Apoptosis was assessed using Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleoside nick end labeling and flow cytometry assays. Pyroptosis-related proteins, including caspase-4, caspase-1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD), were detected using Western blotting.

Results:

Bioinformatics analysis revealed that GBP family genes and interferon-related genes might be responsive to NDV stimulation in MB cells. Treatment with NDV resulted in increased IFN-g levels and upregulated GBP expression, particularly GBP1. In addition, IFN-g treatment induced GBP1 expression and enhanced cell apoptosis. GBP1 knockdown attenuated the decreased cell proliferation and increased cell apoptosis induced by NDV in MB cells. GBP1 overexpression upregulated the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins, including caspase-4, caspase-1, and GSDMD, subsequently leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and an increase in cell apoptosis levels. The silencing of caspase-4 confirmed the regulatory role of GBP1 in MB cell pyroptosis.

Conclusion:

Our findings suggest that NDV elevates IFN-g and GBP1 expression in MB cells, potentially contributing to caspase-4-mediated pyroptosis activation.
Bilateral hip ochronosis, an unsuspected diagnosis in polyarticular pain: A case report
Authors: Gomez Mier Luis Carlos , Arroyave Rivera Sergio A. , Delgadillo Camilo A. , Melo-Uribe Mario
Published: October 2024

Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by the accumulation of homogentisic acid, leading to the deposition of blackish pigment in cartilage and soft tissue, known as ochronosis. This can mimic multiple joint pathologies and is a diagnosis of exclusion. We describe the case of a 52-year-old woman who had a total hip replacement after experiencing left hip pain for which oral medications were unable to provide relief. Unexpectedly, during the procedure, a blackish tissue was noticed. This led to a histological examination and the confirmation of the ochronosis diagnosis. The patient’s medical history revealed a number of malignancies, but no previous metabolic illness diagnoses. Subsequent follow-up revealed rapid-onset pain in other joints, leading to a similar diagnosis of polyarticular ochronosis in the right hip, knees, spine, and shoulders. This highlights how difficult it is to treat this condition. This case underscores the importance of considering ochronosis as a differential diagnosis in patients with chronic polyarticular pain. Current treatment consists of initial non-surgical measures, including physical therapy and analgesics. If there is no improvement, treatment would be joint arthroplasty. Awareness among orthopedic surgeons and histopathological examination of tissues is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and management of ochronosis.

A key feature of the application of a functionally adaptive automatic control system is its ability to adapt to new conditions without the need to change system settings. The principle of operation of the adaptation circuit is based on the calculation of the control action from the mismatch between the signals taken from the sensors and signals of the reference model. The integration of such a system will reduce the cost of modernization and implementation of new control systems.
Перспективы развития модального анализа по ляпунову на основе данных измерений
Authors: Дмитрий Евгеньевич Катаев
Published: October 2024

Для современных электроэнергетических систем (ЭЭС) проблема исследования их устойчивости продолжает быть особо актуальной в связи с тенденциями развития структур генерации и потребления. Модальный анализ по Ляпунову совмещает два подхода к оценке устойчивости систем и ЭЭС в частности: модальный анализ и спектральные разложения функций Ляпунова. Данная работа продолжает исследование возможностей проведения модального анализа по Ляпунову на основе данных об измерениях в системе. Решается задача численной оценки качества работы реализации такого модального анализа в зависимости от используемого метода идентификации и значений его параметров. Работа предлагает метод такой оценки, с его помощью уточняет выводы предшествующей работы и демонстрирует силу влияния нелинейных искажений идентифицируемого сигнала на результат. Также работа предлагает дальнейшие пути развития данного направления.

The problem of stability estimation for modern electric power systems (EPS) remains particularly relevant due to the trends in the development of generation and consumption structures. Lyapunov Modal Analysis (LMA) combines two approaches to stability analysis of systems and EPS in particular: modal analysis and spectral decompositions of Lyapunov functions. This work continues the investigation of the possibilities of conducting measurement-based Lyapunov modal analysis. The main problem is numerical evaluation of the performance of such modal analysis implementation depending on the identification method used and the values of its parameters. The work proposes a method for such evaluation, refines the conclusions of previous research, and demonstrates the influence of non-linear distortions of the identified signal on the result. Additionally, the work suggests further directions for the development of this area.

Authors: Любовь Александровна Мартынова , Алексей Александрович Павлов
Published: October 2024

Для выбора пути обхода сложного препятствия разработан метод, основанный на данных батиметрических и физических карт Мирового океана. Определены условия применимости батиметрических и физических карт с мезорельефом для формирования пути обхода. Для перехода от макро- и мезорельефа к микрорельефу предложено использовать алгоритм Кригинга; на примере показана его работа. Для определения наиболее энергоэкономичного пути обхода сложных препятствий предложено рассматривать сетку глубин в виде ориентированного взвешенного графа. Определены условия соответствия кратчайшего пути на графе наиболее энергоэкономичному пути. Разработан алгоритм перебора вариантов пути обхода с отсечением, базирующийся на алгоритме «поиска на графе в глубину». На примере обхода сложного препятствия показано преимущество использования предложенного метода выбора варианта обхода препятствия по сравнению с традиционно предлагаемыми обходами сверху или сбоку препятствия. Приведен пример использования разработанного метода для определения наиболее энергоэкономичного пространственного пути обхода сложного препятствия. Результаты проведенных численных экспериментов подтвердили правильность предложенного решения: сокращение пути для рассмотренного варианта препятствия составило 15–20%, что позволяет реализовать предложенный метод выбора энергоэкономичного пространственного пути обхода сложного препятствия в системе управления автономного необитаемого подводного аппарата.

A method based on bathymetric and physical maps of the World Ocean has been developed to select a bypass path around a complex obstacle. It has been proposed to use the Kriging algorithm to go from mesorelief to minirelief. It has been proposed to consider a depth grid in the form of an oriented weighted graph to determine the most energy-efficient bypass path around complex obstacles. The conditions for the shortest path on the graph to be the most energy efficient way have been determined. An algorithm for enumerating bypass path options with pruning has been developed, based on the "depth-first graph search" algorithm. The advantage of using the proposed method for selecting a bypass option over the traditionally proposed bypasses from above or from the side of the obstacle has been shown in an example of bypassing a complex obstacle. The results of the conducted numerical experiments confirmed the correctness of the proposed solution: the reduction of the path for the considered variant of the obstacle was 15-20%, which makes it possible to implement the proposed method of selecting an energy-efficient spatial path to bypass a complex obstacle in the control system of an autonomous underwater vehicle.
Feminist Encounters with Plato: Appropriation, Disinvestment, and Constructive Complicity
Authors: J. Partridge
Published: October 2024

This article examines two recent approaches to the feminist interpretation of the history of philosophy and recommends one of them for the study of Plato. Each is a variation of appropriation feminism, but both approaches engage cautiously with our philosophical inheritance out of a concern that we may unwittingly perpetuate its oppressive ideology. Cynthia Freeland, taking inspiration from Irigaray’s disinvestment approach, favors a more detached approach to Plato and Aristotle and calls for a transformed conception of philosophy. I argue that this conception of philosophy is flawed because truth’s importance is displaced by one or more non-alethic epistemic virtues. The second approach takes its inspiration from Spivak’s postcolonial critique and seeks to confront problematic philosophers head on. Dilek Huseyinzadegan’s constructive complicity approach, which she develops in her interpretation of Kant, also calls for a transformed conception of philosophy. But her method focuses less on questions of justification, and instead centers on our philosophical practices. I show how her method can be adapted to the study of Plato and outline what it means to enact a constructive complicity with him. I consider the possibilities of a full and fruitful engagement with our Platonic inheritance, one that draws on the inclusive, dynamic philosophical praxis within Platonic philosophy in ways that resist the impulses of exclusion and hierarchy that are also present in it.

Статья рассматривает два недавно наметившихся подхода в феминистской интерпретации истории философии и рекомендует один из них для исследования Платона. Каждый представляет собой вариант присваивающего феминизма, при этом оба подхода призывают к осторожному обращению с нашим философским наследием из-за рисков непреднамеренного увековечения его угнетательской идеологии. Синтия Фриленд, опираясь на изымающую установку Иригарэ, предпочитает более отстраненный подход к Платону и Аристотелю и ратует за трансформацию самой идеи философии. Автор считает, что эта идея философии порочна, поскольку истина здесь вытесняется одним или несколькими неалетическими эпистемическими добродетелями. Второй подход отталкивается от постколониальной критики Спивак и стремится напрямую разбираться с проблемными философами. Конструктивное соучастие – подход, сформулированный Дайлек Хусеинзадеган в ее интерпретации Канта, – также требует трансформированной идеи философии. Но ее метод сосредоточен не столько на вопросах оправдания, как на философских практиках. Автор показывает, каким образом ее метод может быть приспособлен для исследования Платона, и намечает схему конструктивного соучастия с ним. Намечает возможности полноценного и плодотворного взаимодействия с платоническим наследием – взаимодействия с опорой на включающую, динамичную философскую практику внутри платоновской философии методами, сопротивляющимися исключающим иерархическим импульсам, которые также в ней присутствуют.

Published: October 2024

Silicones find use in a myriad of applications from sealants and adhesives to cooking utensils and medical implants. However, state-of-the-art silicone parts fall short in terms of shape complexity and reprocessability. Advances in three-dimensional printing and the discovery of vitrimers have recently led to new opportunities for the shaping and recycling of silicone objects. Here, we report the 3D printing via Direct Ink Writing of silicone vitrimers into complex-shaped parts with high strength and room- temperature reprocessability. The reprocessing properties of the printed objects result from the adaptive nature of the silicone vitrimer, which can deform under stress without losing its network connectivity. Rheological and mechanical experiments reveal that printable inks can be tuned to generate strong parts with high creep resistance and room-temperature reprocessability, two properties that are usually challenging to reconcile in vitrimers. By combining printability, high strength and room-temperature reprocessability, the reported silicone vitrimers represent an attractive sustainable alternative to currently available elastomers in a broad range of established and prospective applications.

Published: October 2024

In recent years, the study of bat viruses has become particularly relevant in light of the coronavirus pandemic and other major outbreaks of viral diseases, such as Ebola fever and the Zika virus. Bats are important reservoirs for many pathogens that can cause diseases in humans and animals. These mam-mals not only serve as primary sources of various infections but also play a key role in their transmission, making them a subject of increased interest for virologists and epidemiologists.This article attempts to systematize information about the most common viruses associated with bats on a global scale. It examines the main viral families circulating among bats, as well as their pathogenic properties and mechanisms of interaction with the host. Additionally, the article presents an overview of current research conducted in Kazakhstan regarding bat viruses. The relevance of these studies is ana-lyzed in the context of public health and the potential for preventing future outbreaks of viral diseases.Thus, this work emphasizes the significance of bats as biological indicators of ecosystem and human health, as well as their role in the epidemiology of infectious diseases.
Water resources and their ecological state (based on the example of the Ak-Buura river)
Authors:   AL-FARABI KAZAKH NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Boronbaeva Ainazik
Published: October 2024

According to the State Inspectorate for environmental and technical Safety under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, the republic has 145 facilities for the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater, 22 municipal treatment facilities, mechanical and biological treatment of wastewater from enterprises and organizations to which the population is connected.The discharge of wastewater after passing through treatment facilities is carried out into the environ-ment. Of the 145 wastewater treatment plants: 14 are discharged into surface water bodies, 5 into dry streams and rivers, 2 onto terrain, 114 into irrigation and SDS [http: //data.movegreen. kg/indicator/49].Pollution of water bodies is no less dangerous than their depletion, and the deterioration of the sani-tary and environmental situation, together with the growth of wastewater, reduces the quality of water resources, as evidenced by the environmental insecurity of the population, which is closely related to the nature of the use of water resources.Wastewater bioremediation using algae and bacteria represent a significant potential for sustainable pollutant reduction, as well as contributing to resource recovery and valorisation of microalgae biomass and is known as a promising approach to water treatment and the Ak-Buura River. The use of consortia of microalgae and bacteria can provide several advantages over the use of microalgae monocultures alone for bioremediation treatment of various wastewaters, such as improved removal of nutrients or antibiot-ics and reduced risk of pollution.

Assessment of health at the present stage urgently requires the development of scientific approaches to identify early changes in the state of the organism under the influence of negative effects of production factors. It is known that the functional state of the organism at work is influenced primarily by factors of the work process that cause tension of regulatory mechanisms (nervous, humoral, metabolic) under the regulatory influence of the CNS. The study of mechanisms of regulation of enzymatic activity is one of the most important tasks in the study of metabolic processes in living organisms and in the mechanisms of their adaptation to environmental factors. Enzymes are characterised by extremely high efficiency and specificity. In every living cell hundreds of biochemical reactions are taking place continuously carrying out decomposition and oxidation of nutrients coming from outside, as a result of which energy is generated for the transformation (synthesis) of organic substances, and enzymes are catalysing the rapid progress of these biochemical reactions. Each enzyme molecule performs several thousand to several million operations per minute, while the enzyme reacts with the substrate and accelerates its transformation and remains unchanged, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The study of the influence of a complex of chemicals on the biochemical mechanism of the body of experimental animals, namely, on the enzyme profile, was carried out in the main workshops of Ust-Kamenogorsk Titanium-Magnesium Combine. In the experiment were used sexually mature white rats line "Wister". The activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase, aspartate-transferase, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, cholinesterase, alkaline phosphatase and alpha-amylase was determined to evaluate the changes in the enzyme profile. As a result of the experiment during exposure to a complex of toxic substances in workshops No1, No2, and No3, such as chlorine, hydrogen chloride, tetrachloride, phosgene, magnesium dichloride, changes in the enzyme status of the body of experimental animals were revealed. The revealed changes, apparently, are caused by influence of a complex of chemical substances influencing enzyme activity and biosynthesis in liver tissue.

Erwinia amylovora is a dangerous pathogen that causes fire blight in fruit trees. As this pathogen has started to spread in the territory of Kazakhstan, it poses a significant threat to cultivated and wild apple (Malus sieversii) forests. Currently there is no effective treatment for widespread types of fire blight, it can be prevented only by early diagnosis. Although much research has focused on the detection of fire blight in cultivated apple orchards, little attention has been paid to controlling wild apple populations. Therefore, a comprehensive four-year monitoring study was conducted in four protected areas of Kazakhstan to determine the spread of fire blight on wild apple trees. During several years of inspections, Malus sieversii trees showed no obvious signs of fire blight. These observations were further confirmed by lateral flow immunochromatography as well as by conventional and real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis performed on asymptomatic samples. The results of this study are of great importance for nature protection, providing invaluable information about the current state of fire blight in wild apple forests of Kazakhstan. Therefore, these data provide a basis for formulating science-based recommendations to government agencies to take proactive measures aimed at limiting the spread of fire blight in these ecologically important ecosystems.

Experimental Investigation on the Drift and Collision of Containers Induced by Tsunami Action on a Wave Absorbing Revetment
Authors: Lee Woo-Dong , Kim Taeyoon , Kim Jiwon , Kim Seon-Ki , Oh Hyeseong , Hwang Taegeon
Published: October 2024

This study examined the collision dynamics between tsunami-driven drifting containers and port cranes, prompted by risks from the recent 7.6 magnitude earthquake and tsunami off Noto Peninsula, Japan. Hydraulic experiments were conducted to analyze container drift and collision forces using motion analysis software (DIPP-Motion) and a load cell installed on a crane leg model. The key parameters included the tsunami wave height, container weight (empty and loaded), initial position, and revetment type. The results suggested that higher tsunami wave heights led to more extraordinary inundation, allowing containers to float more efficiently, reducing bottom friction, and increasing drift speed and collision forces. The collision speeds ranged from 1.59 to 2.48 m/s, with collision forces of 45.18 to 77.68 N, representing increases of 6.45 to 15.58 times than no object. Heavier containers required deeper water to float, resulting in lower drift and collision speeds (0.88–0.89 times that of lighter containers). The wave-absorbing revetment caused higher flow velocities, producing collision speeds and forces 1.32–1.48 times greater than the vertical revetment. These findings highlight the importance of considering the tsunami magnitude, container weight, initial position, and revetment type in design, with face-to-face contact conditions crucial for estimating the maximum collision forces and preventing future tsunami damage.

Fiziki işgörmə qabiliyyəti (tredmil test) standart gərginlik zamanı oksigenin mənimsənilməsi (spiroerqometriya), dəridə oksigenin gərginliyi (polyaroqrafiya), həmçinin kardiohemodinamikanın göstəriciləri (Doppler exokardioqrafiya) öyrənilmişdir. Fiziki gərginliyi yerinə yetirən zaman hemodinamikanın göstəricilərində səhih bir fərq olmasa da, 2-ci qrup xəstələrin yerinə yetirdiyi fiziki gərginliyin müddəti daha az olmuşdur. Başqa sözlə eyni hemodinamik göstəricilərlə daha az işin görülməsi, bu qrup xəstələrdə ürək-damar sisteminin fəaliyyətinin zəif olmasına dəlalət edir.
Dərinin oksigen təchizatının öyrənilməsi ilə məlum oldu ki, hər iki qrup xəstərində dərinin O2 gərginliyi fərqlənməsə də, dərinin kapilyar yatağının oksigeni nəqletmə funksiyasını xarakterizə edən parametrlərdə əsaslı fərqlər var. Bu isə yanaşı gedən 2 tipli şəkərli diabeti olanlarda oksigenin kapilyarlarda toxumalara diffuziyasına cavabdeh olan periferik hemodinamikanın pozulduğunu göstərir. Bu hal, 2 tipli şəkərli diabeti olanlarda angiopatiya və neyropatiya hallarının çox yayılması ilə izah edilə bilər. Bu cür mikrosirkulyator pozğunluqlar özünü miokardın fəaliyyətini tədqiq edən zaman da biruzə verdi

Published: October 2024

Xroniki tromboembolik pulmonar hipertenziya (XTEPH) pulmonar hipertenziya və sağ mədəcik çatışmazlığının sağala bilən formalarından biridir. Kəskin ağciyər tromboemboliyasından sonra trombotik materialın natamam rezolusiyası nəticəsində inkişaf edir. Həqiqi rastgəlmə tezliyi dəqiq bilinməsə də, ağciyər tromboemboliyası keçirmiş pasientlərin 3%-də inkişaf etdiyi təxmin olunur. Pulmonar hipertenziya şübhəsi olan bütün pasientlərdə XTEPH ehtimalı nəzərə alınmalıdır. Son illərdə cərrahi müdaxilənin uyğun olub-olmamasından asılı olmayaraq XTEPH-li pasientlərin müalicəsində bir sıra yeniliklər ortaya çıxmışdır. Bu məqalədə xəstəliyin patofiziologiyası, diaqnostika və müalicəsi ilə əlaqədar yeniliklərin icmalını təqdim edirik.

Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Belodedova Margarita G.
Published: October 2024

The article offers an overview of the main scientific works of Elena Sergeevna Novik – а folklorist, anthropologist and researcher of ritual and non-fairy-tale folklore of the peoples of Siberia. This review is divided according to the thematic principle: each section is devoted to the problems that occupied the researcher in a particular period of her academic activity, while the chronological order of the works is preserved within each thematic section. This division allowed not only to depict main theoretical issues, that the researcher dealt with, but also to preserve the logic of their intersections. Among the identified thematic sections one can find, firstly, the studies of fairy tales, which E.S. Novik was engaged in at the dawn of her academic career. Subsequently, the researcher continued the study of similar theoretical problems, but already on the material of the ritual folklore of Siberian peoples, – this transition is reflected in the next section. E.S. Novik was also fascinated by the problem of folklore genre, to which she devoted several works, as well as the study of pragmatics and semiotics of communication. In addition to the parts of the review devoted to the consideration of articles and monographs, the review includes a thematical section displaying E.S. Novik’s visual projects and publications of her works from different years. The review also includes a brief biography of the researcher

Abstract
The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State, The Netherlands for the pesticide active substance bixlozone are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of bixlozone as an herbicide on winter cereals (wheat and barley), winter oilseed rape and maize via soil broadcast spray application in field. The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.

The Tukad Badung River is a vital raw water source in Denpasar City and Badung Regency. Concerning the water pollution of the river, water treatment is necessary to manage the water quality. Constructed wetlands are a water treatment technology used for water purification. In this regard, information is essential regarding the appropriate location for the placement of the constructed wetland based on criteria related to the water treatment plant. The research was conducted to determine the suitability level of water treatment locations in the watershed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method in integration with a Geographic Information System. The Geographic Information System analysis included overlaying steps of the processed and classified data from each criterion: land use, slope, and water pollution index. The Analytic Hierarchy Process method was carried out to obtain the weight of each criterion down to the sub-criteria, which were compiled through interviews with three informants from academic, government, and community representatives. Weight calculations were performed using Expert Choice 11 software to obtain weight values with a consistency ratio of < 0.1. Geographic Information System analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process method produces three suitable land types according to the level of suitability for water treatment locations, with constructed wetlands located in the upstream, middle, and downstream parts of the river. Information regarding suitable land is useful for planning the technical design of water treatment plants with constructed wetlands.
Habel de Mohammed Dib : une histoire d’émigration en quête de visibilité
Authors: Todesco Francesca
Published: October 2024

The article proposes an analysis of the novel Habel (1977) by the Algerian writer Mohammed Dib. Written with a style steeped in allegory and lyricism, as elusive and complex as the reality represented, the novel delves into the inner universe of a young immigrant in search of visibility. The space of the city outlines a ‘topography’ of the character’s intimacy, in a dysphoric heterotopia of disillusionment. The analysis also explores the space of the supermarket, tracing the contours of a paradoxical non-place: a transient microcosm that, as a workplace, gives the emigrant a minimal sense of identity. Ultimately, rather than returning to his homeland, Habel chooses to reside in a psychiatric clinic with his beloved, Lyli. In a paradoxical twist, it is precisely the space of the hospital – heterotopia of ‘deviation’ – that salvages Habel from anonymity. Here, within the ‘closed’ regenerative space of the clinic, in contrast to the open yet consuming city, Habel can be reborn, albeit in madness. Situated between stylistics, semiotics, and narratology, this study interprets Habel’s heterotopic, destabilising trajectory as the prelude to an euphoric, neutral, and purifying delineation of the ‘douceur’ of utopia (Foucault 2009), within a new, uchronian present.
The impact of regional diversity on higher education participation: A comparison of two Australian states
Authors:   University of South Australia, King Sharron , Stone Cathy ,   The University of Newcastle, Australia
Published: October 2024

Australian regional, rural, and remote (RRR) students are transitioning from school to university at lower rates than students in metropolitan areas. This paper examines the similarities and differences between the experiences of RRR secondary school students in South Australia (SA) and New South Wales (NSW) contemplating the transition to university study. Comparing findings from two studies, this paper investigates how the state in which a student lives and studies influences their attitudes and decisions about progressing to higher education (HE). In SA, the compounding effects of low incomes, considerable distances between regional and metropolitan centres, and a scarcity of HE infrastructure outside the capital city imposed more pressing challenges for RRR students than in NSW, where there are fewer remote and outer regional areas, yet more local campuses of large regional universities. This paper argues that a more nuanced national policy response to equity of access for RRR students is required—one that considers the various factors within each Australian state that impact upon the transition of RRR students from secondary school to HE.
