Suomen pitkien painottomien vokaalien havaitseminen spontaanissa ja luetussa puheessa
Authors: Vakkilainen Joonas , O'Dell Michael
Published: January 2022

Suomessa pitkien ja lyhyiden äänteiden välinen ero on fonologisesti distinktiivinen, eli se erottaa merkityksiä. Spontaanissa puheessa lyhyiden ja pitkien vokaalien väliset erot ovat pienempiä kuin lukupuhunnassa (de Silva ym., 2003). Suomessa vokaalin kesto on kuulijalle pääasiallinen vihje sen kvantiteetista, mutta painollisissa tavuissa on havaittu myös sävelkulkuun  liittyviä eroja (Järvikivi ym., 2007). Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan painottomien jälkitavujen pitkien vokaalien havaitsemista spontaanissa puheessa. Tutkimuskysymyksenä on, vaikuttaako vokaalin fysikaalinen kesto spontaanissa puheessa pituuden havaitsemiseen eri tavalla kuin lukupuhunnassa. Tutkimuksessa tehtiin havaintokokeita, joissa koehenkilöt kuulivat muokattuja havaintoärsykkeitä. Ärsykkeet poimittiin spontaanista puheesta ja saman henkilön lukemista tämän spontaanissa puheessa esiintyneistä sanoista. Ärsykkeiden sisäiset kestoerot poistettiin muokkaamalla spontaani–lukupuhunta-ärsykepareista kestoiltaan identtiset. Jokainen alkuperäinen sana sisälsi pitkän jälkitavun vokaalin, jonka kestosta muokattiin neljä eri varianttia. Koehenkilöt vastasivat, kuulivatko he lyhyt- vai pitkävokaalisen sanan. Tulosten perusteella spontaanissa puheessa sanan lopussa olevan vokaalin ei tarvitse olla yhtä pitkä kuin lukupuhunnassa tullakseen havaituksi pitkäksi. Spontaanin puheen ärsykkeet saivat keskimäärin enemmän pitkävokaalisia vastauksia kuin lukupuhuntaärsykkeet. Taustatekijöillä (F0, F1, F2) ei ollut selvää vaikutusta havaintoihin, joskaan niitä ei voida sulkea pois tämän tutkimuksen perusteella.
Greenland and the Pacific Islands: An improbable conjunction of development trajectories.
Authors: Connell John
Published: January 2022

Predictions for the future of small islands and island states are often pessimistic. Multiple discontents have followed decolonization. In Pacific island states poverty and inequality have increased, free trade offers few development possibilities, governance is weak and urban biased, and aid dependence has not declined. Economic niches, including ‘sovereignty sales’, have largely failed to emerge. Populations are contracting from outer islands, resulting in unmanageable urbanization in primate cities. One outcome has been rising international migration, along with remittances, as a safety valve and diversification strategy. Selective out-migration and limited return migration have contributed to a skill drain. Yet migration has enabled the periphery to survive, and brought improved welfare. Diaspora engagement and deterritorialization have ensued. Formal development strategies, more international than national, emphasize ‘modernity’ with culture to be abhorred and ignored, yet hybridity offers possibilities for a more equitable and environmentally sensitive sustainable development, where modernity has inherent disadvantages. Even so a combination of migration, selective economic diversification and cultural hybridity, can only be shaped within the difficult context of globalization. Seemingly very different Greenland shares multiple similarities with post-colonial Pacific states, including urban bias, deterritorialization and the marginalization of culture, but especially where ‘welfare colonialism’ has been prevalent. These parallels point to both uncomfortable similarities and lessons, and difficult future decolonization and development trajectories in the Arctic.
Decolonizing Creole on the Mauritius islands: Creative practices in Mauritian Creole
Authors: Pyndiah Gitanjali
Published: January 2022

Many Caribbean and Indian Ocean islands have a common history of French and British colonization, where a Creole language developed from the contact of different colonial and African/ Indian languages. In the process, African languages died, making place for a language which retained close lexical links to the colonizer’s tongue. This paper presents the case of Mauritian Creole, a language that emerged out of a colonial context and which is now the mother tongue of 70% of Mauritians, across different ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. It pinpoints the residual colonial ideologies in the language and looks at some creative practices, focusing on its oral and scribal aspects, to formulate a ‘decolonial aesthetics’ (Mignolo, 2009). In stressing the séga angazé (protest songs) and poetry in Mauritian Creole in the history of resistance to colonization, it argues that the language is, potentially, a carrier of decolonial knowledges.
Adapting postcolonial island societies: Fiji and the Solomon Islands in the Pacific
Authors: Rodd Adrien
Published: January 2022

Sovereign Pacific island states attract little attention from the great powers. They achieved independence peacefully, mostly from the United Kingdom, and have generally maintained functional democratic societies. Nonetheless, some Pacific states have struggled with the political, institutional and economic legacy of colonization. Tensions between indigenous norms and practices and the expectations of a transposed Western model of society have led to crises. This paper focuses on two Pacific Island states, Fiji and the Solomon Islands. The collapse of the state in the Solomons at the turn of this century, and repeated military coups in Fiji, are due in part to the failure of British-derived institutions to be fully accepted. In both these countries, indigenous people have proposed reforms of these inherited models. Nonetheless, as we shall see, the recent rewriting of these two countries’ constitutions has maintained the fundamentals of the Westminster system, and a government by Westernized indigenous élites.
The transformation of island city politics: The case of Macau
Authors: Sheng Li
Published: January 2022

: This paper focuses on the island city of Macau as Europe’s last Asian colony and one of China’s special administrative regions (SARs) that enjoys a high degree of autonomy. The author traces the root cause of the current social discontent and political dilemma in the face of Macau’s post-colonial casino boom and economic miracle. The study finds that Macau’s islandness, smallness and geographic location significantly affect the island city’s urban political culture. While Macau shares similarities with other island cities across the world, as a Chinese casino city under Portuguese administration for more than 400 years, certain unique features have also developed.

The genre of islands: Popular fiction and performative geographies
Authors: Crane Ralph , Fletcher Lisa
Published: January 2022

To date, studies of the contribution literature makes to ideas about islands have concentrated on “high” literature. This has left unexamined the largest proportion of literature featuring islands. If one of the goals of island studies is to interrogate prevailing ideas about “islandness,” then the islands that crowd the storyworlds of popular genres merit close attention. This article focuses on popular fiction to advocate “performative geographies” as a key concept for island studies of literature, and indeed other domains of culture. Popular genres are undeniably sources of distraction and entertainment for billions of readers. However, they are also systems of meaning, which have an immeasurable impact on our geographical awareness and imagination. This article uses critical snapshots of Anglophone island-set crime fiction and popular romance fiction to show the meta-geographical potential of popular novels as they both depict and reflect on islands as performative geographies, or spaces that make and unmake individual and social identities.
Interdisciplinary island studies: connecting the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities
Authors: Norder Sietze J. , Rijsdijk Kenneth F.
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we present the outline of an interdisciplinary undergraduate course entitled: “Islands: Models for our Planet – Metaphors for our World”, and will reflect on insights gained during its development and teaching in two consecutive academic years (2014-2015; 2015-2016). The main challenge faced during the development and teaching of this interdisciplinary course was to introduce a wide range of topics in a coherent way. For this reason, a theoretical framework was developed to guide students throughout their learning process and to structure the content of the course. The developed course materials are shared in the supplementary materials of this paper to facilitate colleagues around the world who are teaching a course in island studies.
Lighthouses, pilotage and technology: the impact on small island societies
Authors: Lind Per
Published: January 2022

This paper discusses how lighthouses and pilot services have been bearers of technology intended to improve the safety and reliability of maritime shipping. The introduction of technology has had a considerable impact on many small island societies through state involvement meant to reduce hazards in navigation and shipping. The impact has, however, been manifold and varied, and including positive and less positive impacts. Indeed, small islands and islanders have generally never been the beneficiaries of large scale, state-driven technology programs seeking to modernize society. As an exception, however, certain small islands have traditionally been of interest to the state due to their locations, either for defence purposes or to assist seafarers’ navigation in hazardous waters. This paper reviews the thrust and effects of investment in lighthouses and pilotage services on small islands. It concludes with a brief case story from a small populated island in Sweden that has undergone several periods of development and stagnation as a result of technology and state involvement.
Decolonizing through integration: Australia’s off-shore island territories.
Authors: Wettenhall Roger
Published: January 2022

Australia’s three small off-shore island territories – Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean and Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Group in the Indian Ocean – can be seen as monuments to 19th century British-style colonization, though their early paths to development took very different courses. Their transition to the status of external territories of the Australian Commonwealth in the 20th century – early in the case of Norfolk and later in the cases of Christmas and Cocos – put them on a common path in which serious tensions emerged between local populations which sought autonomous governance and the Commonwealth government which wanted to impose governmental systems similar to those applying to mainstream Australians. This article explores the issues involved, and seeks to relate the governmental history of the three island territories to the exploration of island jurisdictions developed in island studies research.

An Ecofeminist Analysis of the Movie Moana
Authors: Angel A Mariamma
Published: January 2022

This paper attempts to explore the movie Moana from an eco-critical perspective wherein the concepts of domination of nature by mankind will be highlighted. It also examines the movie through a feminist point of view which foreshadows the subjugation of women by men that is prevalent in the movie. It puts forth the issues that prevails in the society and relates the movie with the present scenario of the society. This movie showcases the belief of deep ecology which says that everything in earth has life of its own and the entire universe is in harmony with each other. Ecosophy or ecophilosophy as described by Arne Naess is a term which examines Nature and our relation to it, it also signifies the philosophy of harmony in the entire ecosystem (“Ecosophy”). This wisdom of ecology is predominantly revealed by the female protagonist Moana in the movie Moana. This paper traces the instances from the movie that displays the consequences of interaction of human with Nature and the exploitation of both women and Nature due to the strong hold of the patriarchal attitude that a man believes within.

Lemongrass is the raw material for lemongrass oil production. Indonesia is one of the ten largest lemongrass oil producing countries in the world. Lemongrass oil industry will be generated large amount of lemongrass waste. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) substitution with lemongrass waste on high forage feed on in vitro rumen fermentation. This study was arranged with randomized block design with 5 treatments (100R: 0% lemongrass waste, 75R: 25% lemongrass waste, 50R: 50% lemongrass waste, 25R: 75% lemongrass waste, and 0R: 100% lemongrass waste) and 4 different rumen collecting time as block. The results showed that the substitution of grass with lemongrass waste did not give a significant difference to dry matter content, but it could reduce protein content and increase crude fiber and crude fat significantly (P <0.05). The results of the in vitro analysis showed that lemongrass substitution did not affect pH, gas production rate, butyric acid, valeric acid, iso-butyric acid, and iso-valeric acid both in terms of quantity and proportion. The used of lemongrass by 25% (75R) was not affected on organic matter, potential gas production and methane production (24 hours) but decreased protein content and increased lag time significantly (p <0.05). The used of lemongrass by 50% was significantly reduce methane gas production (P <0.05). The increased of lemongrass waste concentration was affected partial VFA profile by decreasing in the amount of acetic acid. A significant decreased in the A/P ratio occurred in the used of lemongrass by 100%. Lemongrass waste could be used as elephant grass substituted up to 25% in high-forage feed without decreasing potential gas production, digestibility, and partial total VFA.

PROPAGATION OF PITCHER PLANTS (Nepenthes gracilis KORTH. AND Nepenthes reinwardtiana MIQ.) THROUGH CALLUS INDUCTION
Authors: Novitasari Yeyen , Isnaini Yupi
Published: January 2022

In vitro propagation of pitcher plants is still limited only using seeds, while the other in vitro methods using leaf explants such as embryogenesis, organogenesis, and callus culture has not been widely reported. The research aims to study the growth response of leaf explants in two species of pitcher plants (Nepenthes gracilis and Nepenthes reinwardtiana), which formed callus in several treatment media combinations. Leaf pieces were taken from a 4-month pitcher plant culture were grown on the treatment media, namely modified media of Murashige & Skoog with a half concentration (½ MS) added 2.4-Dichlorophenoxoxyacetate (2.4-D) with a concentration of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 mg L-1 and kinetin (0.5 mg L-1). The treatment was then stored in a dark environment to induce callus formation. The observation for 12 weeks showed that the time of callus formation in two species of pitcher plant observed was not significantly different. Both species of pitcher plants begin to form callus in the fourth week after treatment. None of the leaf explants were planted on the control medium without hormones formed callus. The best medium for callus induction in N. gracilis is ½ MS medium added with 2 mg L-1 2,4-D and 0.5 mg L-1 kinetin, with callus morphology brownish-white with friable texture. In comparison, the optimum callus media from leaf explant of N. reinwardtiana has not been obtained yet. Thus further research is still needed.

Pada proses tomografi diperlukan sinogram sebagai data pembentuknya. Sinogram dalam hal ini akan memberikan informasi intensitas radiasi pada setiap sudut proyeksi radiasi untuk masing-masing sensor. Hasil dari serapan radiasi yang diterima oleh setiap sudut proyeksi akan dibentuk dengan sinogram dan akan mengasilkan citra gambar untuk hasil akhirnya. Pada penelitian ini diajukan gagasan pembentukan sinogram menggunakan sensor tunggal. Sensor yang digunakan pada penelitian ini hanya mampu menerima paparan sumber radiasi pada satu arah. Pada penelitian ini akan dikembangkan metode pemecahan sensor menggunakan kurva distribusi normal. Hal ini bertujuan supaya sensor dapat menerima radiasi dari berbagai arah sehingga intensitas radiasi pada setiap sudut proyeksi radiasi akan diproyeksikan ke dalam sinogram. Algortima yang digunakan adalah membagi sensor menjadi 8 bagian titik serap radiasi. Pembagian sensor ini mengacu pada kurva distribusi normal, sehingga didapatkan 8 selang nilai sensor yaitu -0,05, -0,1, -0,15, -,2, 0 , 0,2, 0,15, 0,1, dan 0,05 terhadap nilai rata-ratanya. Ujicoba dilakukan dengan melakukan penyinaran awal pada sudut 0o sampai sudut 360o dengan kenaikan sudut sebesar 5o. Langkah berikutnya dilakukan  penyinaran selama 60 detik. Data yang diambil adalah nilai yang diterima sensor pada saat detik ke 60. Hasil pengukuran semua sudut selanjutnya digunakan dalam pembentukan sinogram. Keberhasilan pembentukan sinogram dalam ujicoba ini menjadi langkah awal pembentukan tomografi yang lebih efisien pada tahap selanjutnya.

This study evaluates the implementation of quality assurance at a private university in Indonesia, namely Atma Jaya Catholic University, Jakarta (UAJJ). The aim is to find out the quality (merit) and benefits (worth) of implementing the SPMI program at UAJJ comprehensively because stakeholders do not understand it. UAJJ itself has implemented SPMI (Internal Quality Assurance System) consistently since 2017 based on the PPEPP model cycle (Determination, Implementation, Evaluation, Development, and Improvement) as an implementation guideline. This qualitative method uses the evaluation of the CIPP model developed by Stufflebeam. The CIPP model consists of the Context, Input, Process, and Product components and each related sub-components. The components and sub-components become the object of this research. The results and data analysis show that the implementation of Internal Quality Assurance in the UAJJ is of high quality and beneficial for all stakeholders. The conclusion and discussion materials are that quality assurance efforts and internal QA implementation, both at UAJJ, other higher education institutions, and professional researchers need to develop and seek internal QA implementation strategies to ensure the health of higher education institutions, especially in the three core values, namely student learning, research, and community service.

The category of audio-visual dysfunction represents the largest group of children with delayed language development. Audio-visual dysfunction not only affects children's normal communication but also hinders their growth, becoming the main reason affecting their life and learning. In China, medical resources for children with audio-visual dysfunction are noticeably insufficient and cannot be valued. The rehabilitation exercise cycle is long, and patients and their parents are mostly unable to adhere to it in the long-term. Aiming at addressing these problems, this paper tries to design and study the family treatment system of audio-visual dysfunction independently. Users with experience design users for zhongtun, jizuatun and li, experience full link, pay attention to the details of each experience point, strive to accurately complete each treatment training in the most efficient display space and play the training function of the acme. Behind the emotional expression, a good design with common characteristics of user experience is made through the front iteration process of user model establishment and data accumulation. The research content of this paper is structured as follows: first, it studies the principle of user experience, analyses the influence of mobile devices on pre-school children and discusses the characteristics of existing children's educational toys and children's interactive products, as well as the physical and intellectual characteristics of pre-school children. Then, the classification, causes and treatment of children's visual and audio impairment are discussed. The design method of combining the theoretical movement of user experience with children's audio-visual functional family therapy system is mentioned. Then, more effective user requirements were collected through observation of target user behaviour, single interview and exploration of storage and modelling. We also summarise user requirements, build user models in story form and prioritise requirements.

Published: January 2022

The aim

The aim of the work was to analyze correlation between the assessment of family relations and the assessment of the child’s functioning and psychological factors (stress-coping style, burnout, adaptation level, coherence, a sense of social suport, and mental health) in mothers of children with Asperger’s syndrome and childhood autism.

Participants and methods

The study included 70 mothers of children treated in mental health clinic (52 mothers of children with Asperger’s syndrome and 18 mothers of children with autism). The study used a battery of psychological tests.

Results

In the group of mothers of children with autism, there are significant correlations between the assessment of relations in the family and stress-coping styles and burnout. In the group of mothers of children with Asperger’s Syndrome, there are significant correlations between the assessment of family relations and the assessment of the child’s disorder, burnout, a sense of coherence, emotional support and mental resilience.

Conclusions

Based on the statical analyzes, the following conclusions were formulated: 1. Positive assessment of family relations by women raising children with autism is associated with the use of a task-oriented stress-coping style, whereas negative assessment – with the loss of personal involvement.2. Positive assessment of family relations by women raising children with Asperger’s syndrome is associated with a sense of control, instrumental support, mental resilience, and negative – with the assessment of the child’s disorder as a threat, burnout, loss of efficacy, personal involvement and decreased emotional control.

This paper attempts to categorize parameters of communication between codes observed in the Scratch programming environment, using the SOLO taxonomy. These parameters are the form of communication (within an object, between different objects and to serve external devices scenarios), the mechanism used for communication (Polling and Interrupt techniques) and the ratio between the number of transmitters and receivers, which will be considered in a future work. Implementing this categorization in a two-dimensional table of representative codes for each case is formed. In this table, one dimension corresponds to the forms of communication and the other dimension to the mechanisms used. The ranking of the codes in each of the dimensions is done by means of the levels of the SOLO taxonomy. The table can be used to develop criteria for assessing the qualitative characteristics of the codes produced by students within a broader assessment system.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Fenugreek seeds have got interest of researchers for their positive effects on laboratory animals and human being, including their effects on reproductive system. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 5% raw fenugreek seed and its boiled aqueous extract containing diet on adult female mice, for 2 weeks before mating, to evaluate fertility, and some features of newborn pups. Materials and Methods: A total of 90 adult female mice randomly and equally were divided into three groups. Group I: Control, Group II: Female mice treated with 5% raw fenugreek seed containing diet, and Group III: Female mice treated with boiled aqueous extract of 5% fenugreek seed containing diet. The animals were treated daily for 2 weeks before mating. Some of them were mated with normal males, while the others were used for uterus study. The following parameters were evaluated: Fertility of adult female mice; body weight (BW); uterus weight; uterus sections; litter size; sex ratio; live and dead pups; and pup BW. Results: There was non-significant change in litter size and sex ratio; live and dead pups; adult female BW; and uterus weight. While wet and dry weight of pups, were significantly increased. Histological sections in uterus showed multilayering in endometrial glands of both the experimental groups. No differences were observed between fenugreek treated groups. Conclusion: Both forms of fenugreek seed (raw and aqueous extract) induced significant increase in pup weight; possibly are due to multilayering in endometrial glands of uterus.
