Edge Effect: Reconnecting Whangarei's City and River
Authors:   , Lawrie Alicia
Published: November 2021

Whangarei City has a dying Commercial Centre. This has resulted from population shifts that have occurred over time. Significant issues have driven movement of people toward much larger cities (seeking better economic, cultural and social outcomes) and more spacious urban fringes (seeking improved environmental outcomes). The Whangarei CBD incorporates both the dying Commercial Centre and a thriving Town Basin which is the centre for Arts and Recreation within the city. The two areas are a juxtaposition. The investigation reveals reasons why two such contrasting areas exist and defines a design solution that seeks to resolve this and leverages the success of the Town Basin to revive the Commercial Centre. The aim of this thesis is to investigate ways that architecture can be used to invigorate Whangarei’s dying Commercial Centre by creating a place of activity, engagement and informal learning and by re-establishing the important connection Whangarei has with its river as well as other positives within the city.   Thesis objectives:  • Identify the reasons for the decline of the Commercial Centre and the success of the Town Basin and how a connection can be established between the two.  • Establish a beating heart within the dying Commercial Centre and provide a life source in the form of people movement into the centre from all parts of the city.  • Provide dynamic spaces which encourage informal learning, social interaction, playfulness and creativity that will engage the people of Whangarei including youth and children.  • Use the natural environment as a means of engaging people of all ages by weaving together water, a restored ecology and architecture.
Investigating the Role of Labelling and Packaging on Medication Error
Authors:   , Bailey Carrie
Published: November 2021

Medication administration error contributes to deaths and injury in hospitals, especially in the area of anaesthesia. Labelling and packaging contribute to medication error. The current study examined the role of labelling and packaging in medication error and compared medically trained and medically naive participants.  Using eye-tracking equipment, Study 1A investigated the distribution of fixations across 32 pre-existing medication labels and packages. Both groups of participants fixated less on the dose and top of medications than on the name and ‘other’ features. Both medical experience and packaging type influenced on which label areas participants fixated. Medical participants fixated on dose more than control participants; there were no other differences between groups.  In Study 1B participants viewed a target medication, they were then asked whether it was present in an array. The target was present in 50% of arrays. Distractors varied in similarity to the target. Signal detection theory analysis of discriminability through d’ revealed that medical participants were significantly better than control participants at discriminating whether or not the target was in the array. Bias analyses through C revealed that there was no difference between the biases of the two groups. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion which increased the occurrence of false alarms. Across all trials, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.  Divided attention can increase medication error rates, therefore Study 1C utilised the same procedure as Study 1B and added a divided attention task. During the divided attention task participants saw a string of either five or seven letters and were later asked to recall one of the letters. Both groups of participants recalled fewer letters in the seven-letter compared to five-letter condition. There was no difference in the overall performance of the two groups on the divided attention task. Both groups showed a significant reduction in discriminability under the seven- compared to five-letter divided attention condition. Medical participants had significantly higher discriminability indices than control participants. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion, however control participants were more biased than medical professionals. Control participants displayed an increase in bias in the seven-letter, compared to five-letter condition; the bias of medical participants was not influenced by the divided attention task. As in Study 1B, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.
Electron Microscopy Imaging of Flux Pinning Defects in YBCO Superconductors
Authors:   , Puichaud Anne-Hélène
Published: November 2021

High-temperature superconductors are of great interest because they can transport electrical current without loss. For real-world applications, the amount of current, known as the critical current Ic, that can be carried by superconducting wires is the key figure of merit. Large Ic values are necessary to off-set the higher cost of these wires. The factors that improve Ic (microstructure/performance relationship) in the state-of-the-art coated conductor wires based on YBa₂Cu₃O₇ (YBCO) are not fully understood. However, microstructural defects that immobilise (or pin) tubes of magnetic flux (known as vortices) inside the coated conductors are known to play a role in improving Ic. In this thesis, the vortex-defect interaction in YBCO superconductors was investigated with high-end transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques using two approaches.  First, the effect of dysprosium (Dy) addition and oxygenation temperature on the microstructure and critical current were investigated in detail. Changing only the oxygenation temperature leads to many microstructural changes in pure YBCO coated conductors. It was found that Dy addition reduces the sensitivity of the YBCO to the oxygenation temperature, in particular it lowers the microstructural disorder while maintaining the formation of nanoparticles, which both contribute to the enhancement of Ic.  In the second approach, two TEM based techniques (off-axis electron holography and Lorentz microscopy) were used to study the magnetic flux vortices. Vortex imaging was attempted with a TEM operated at 300 kV on both a YBCO crystal as well as a YBCO coated conductor. Many challenges were encountered including sample preparation, inhomogeneity, and geometry, in addition to the need to perform measurements at cryogenic temperatures. Although vortices were not able to be observed in the coated conductors, tentative observation of vortices in a YBCO crystal was made using Lorentz microscopy. Improvements for future electron holography experiments on YBCO at low voltage are suggested. This work represents a pioneering step towards directly imaging vortices in YBCO using more widely available microscopes with the aim of better understanding flux pinning to ultimately boost Ic in superconducting wires.
Reconnecting Life of those with dementia back to their families and the wider society
Authors:   , Kusjanto Grachia
Published: November 2021

Dementia has become one of the most feared diseases. It is feared more than cancer for those over 50 years of age. The progressive and distressing nature of the symptoms have been widely known to affect both the person with dementia as well as their families. Eventually, the family has to decide whether to take care of their loved ones themselves or send them to a professional care facility. Currently, dementia care facilities are generally disconnected from the community, confine the residents and lack stimulation. Inactive bodies and minds can result in agitation and faster progression of the disease.  Through multidisciplinary literature review, first-hand observations of the patient behaviours and a review of existing case studies, this thesis explores how landscape architecture can help in creating a better life experience for those with dementia who live in a care facility. The design ideas are near Te Hopai, an existing dementia care facility in Newtown, Wellington.  To overcome the stigmatised environment in the existing facility, this thesis explores the possibilities for bringing the residents out and encouraging the public into their territory, increasing social interaction. A wide group of people such as carers, families and the wider community were considered in the design. Te Hopai’s surroundings, which are currently empty spaces and car parks, have been transformed into a functional and welcoming landscape which the public can use. The landscape has also been designed to encourage residents with dementia who were previously confined inside to experience the outdoor environment. Through designing a socially active, accessible and experiential space that is easy to navigate and interact with, this thesis hope to reconnect and improve the life experience of the person with dementia as well as their community.
Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
Authors:   , Mua'au Sepelini
Published: November 2021

This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full-length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice-based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second,how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights. The practical elements of the project will be evaluated through the submission of two scripts,the first draft and the final working script, the reflection of this process in the thesis including facets of a workbook and in the presentation of the final performance itself, a copy of which will be made available to all markers.  What drives the project is a desire to see how the experiences of young, male, Samoans might be represented theatrically and how this might be an effective way of connecting with community. This process has opened up two further questions, being:  What is the role of the writer in the rehearsal room?  What are the dramaturgical challenges of developing a script in-progress?
Research on the Debt Default Risk of Guangyi Technology
Authors: Niu Chengzhe , Zhao Juan
Published: November 2021

In the process of production and operation, the funds held by enterprises often do not meet the needs of the expanding production scale, so enterprises usually obtain the required funds by borrowing. However, the financing mode of enterprises is not only limited to borrowing from banks or other financial institutions. With the rapid economic development and the continuous activity of the capital market, the bond market has gradually become an important channel for enterprise financing [1]. In order to improve the layout of the industrial chain, Guangyi Technology has carried out continuous mergers and acquisitions (M&A) since 2013. Due to its limited funds, Guangyi Technology acquired a large amount of funds required for M&A by means of equity pledge. However, the copyright cloud project invested in M&A in the early stage did not achieve the expected results, leading to a frequent breach of equity pledge, which evolved into debt defaults. Therefore, this article takes Guangyi Technology as the research subject and puts forward relevant avoidance suggestions through the evaluation of its debt default risk.

Kasus trading in influence atau perdagangan pengaruh di Indonesia telah marak terjadi dengan modus yang berbeda-beda, namun pengaturan eksplisit tentang delik perdagangan pengaruh hingga saat ini belum ada. Trading in influence banyak dilakukan baik oleh penyelenggara negara maupun pihak non pejabat publik, yang memiliki akses kepada otoritas publik. Tulisan ini membahas bagaimana pengaturan tindakan perdagangan pengaruh (trading in influence) oleh non pejabat publik dihubungkan dengan berlakunya Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Korupsi (Tipikor), serta bagaimana urgensi kriminalisasi tindakan perdagangan pengaruh (trading in influence) dalam rangka optimalisasi pemberantasan Tipikor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis-normatif, dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara studi kepustakaan. Pengolahan data ini diolah dan dianalisis secara kualitatif.

Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa sistem perundang-undangan di Indonesia (dalam hal ini UU Pemberantasan Tipikor) belum mengatur secara tegas tindakan Trading in Influence, sehingga diperlukan revisi UU PTPK, untuk memasukan aturan Trading in Influence. Perumusan delik trading in influence di Indonesia sebagai bagian dari tindak pidana korupsi dinilai sangat urgen dalam rangka mengoptimalisasi pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi.

This study aims in determining the implementation of supply-chain framework; identifying the flow of goods, money, and information, as well as the problems and factors that influence them. The research object is the supply chain management of two aircrafts at PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Persero). The descriptive analysis method is used with a qualitative approach as the result of interviews and observations to be analyzed to answer the research questions. The results indicate that the running framework consists of nine activities, the existence of a linkage to each flow, where the punctuality of payment by the customer will facilitate the flow of the goods itself, also the timeliness of delivery by suppliers in obtaining materials can shorten production time, flow of goods, and flow of money. Money will not run smoothly without the accurate flow of information and the credibility of the exchange of information. It is expected that all stakeholders need to further improve coordination and collaborate to create products with the right service quality, quantity, time, and place.

Published: November 2021

Crowd management has attracted serious attention under the prevailing pandemic conditions of COVID-19, emphasizing that sick persons do not become a source of virus transmission. World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines include maintaining a safe distance and wearing a mask in gatherings as part of standard operating procedures (SOP), considered thus far the most effective preventive measures to protect against COVID-19. Several methods and strategies have been used to construct various face detection and social distance detection models. In this paper, a deep learning model is presented to detect people without masks and those not keeping a safe distance to contain the virus. It also counts individuals who violate the SOP. The proposed model employs the Single Shot Multi-box Detector as a feature extractor, followed by Spatial Pyramid Pooling (SPP) to integrate the extracted features to improve the model's detecting capabilities. The MobilenetV2 architecture as a framework for the classifier makes the model highly light, fast, and computationally efficient, allowing it to be employed in embedded devices to do real-time mask and social distance detection, which is the sole objective of this research. This paper's technique yields an accuracy score of 99% and reduces the loss to 0.04%. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-SPER-14 Full Text: PDF

Published: November 2021

This study examined sensations of air temperature variability and mitigation strategies in the Niger Delta, Nigeria using the cross-sectional and descriptive research designs. This study purposively selected the Capital Cities of the nine states in the study area; while the simple random sampling technique was used to select the study elements. Taro Yamane (1967) formula was employed in determining the study sample size of 400 which was apportioned to each of the cities based on proportional allocation with respected to the population of the cities, hence forming the basis for the distribution of the survey questionnaire. The results show that majority were aware of the impacts of temperature and rated the temperature in the neighborhood as high, but not aware of the comfort threshold of air temperature. Majority had never taken personal steps to mitigate high temperature and at the same time not satisfied with the level of temperature in their urban environment. Urban growth and rise in population, construction materials of urban surfaces, removal of trees/vegetation, manmade heat, air pollutants emission, congestion of buildings and time of season were found to stimulate high temperatures in the cities. Human discomfort, excessive heat, illness and diseases, soil aridity/lack of water in soil, poor air quality, increase in diseases vectors, increase in energy demand and usage, and dehydration of the body and regular thirst for water were found to be impacts and problems associated with high temperature. The prevailing strategies adopted to mitigate impacts of high temperature were only the use of electric fans (63.50%) and drinking of plenty water (92.50%). Therefore, the study recommends among others that planting and preservation of trees should be encouraged, mass awareness campaign on practices that exacerbate high temperature should be sponsored by the authorities, and regulatory agencies should strictly control urban growth and be committed to the enforcement of environmental policies. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2021-02-02-02 Full Text: PDF
Analytical Development of an Improved Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) Model for Solution Gas Drive Reservoirs
Authors: Adeyemi Temitayo Sheriff , Rufus Deborah Oluwatosin
Published: November 2021

Attempts had been made by many authors to develop an inflow performance relationship model suitable for solution gas drive reservoirs. However, they have not been as successful as most of the developed models suffer from certain degrees of inaccuracies and this necessitates the need for an improved model as the economic analysis of an oilfield greatly depends on the ability to accurately forecast future productions. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop an improved inflow Performance Relationship model for solution gas reservoirs by employing a purely analytical approach and also compare the performance of the developed model with that of the existing IPR models (Vogel, Wiggins, Fetkovich, and Klins and Majher). A series expansion of the pseudo-steady state solution of the equation that governs fluid flow in reservoirs of radial geometry is obtained using Taylor's method and the infinite series obtained is truncated after a reasonable number of terms to ensure high degree of accuracy while also avoiding computational complexity. Moreover, the unknown coefficients in the truncated series were determined using the available reservoir fluid data. Finally, statistical analysis was carried out to determine the degree of deviation of the new and existing IPR models from the actual IPR. This analysis shows that the improved model (with an average coefficient of determination of 0.97) outperforms the existing IPR models to which it was compared. Therefore, the improved model is recommended for situations where extreme accuracy is of utmost importance. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2021-02-02-04 Full Text: PDF
Teologiczny sens Pawłowej antytezy: „litera zabija, Duch zaś ożywia” w świetle perykopy 2 Kor 3,1-18
Authors: Mickiewicz Franciszek
Published: November 2021

Celem artykułu jest wyjaśnienie teologicznego sensu antytezy z 2 Kor 3,6: „litera bowiem zabija, Duch zaś ożywia” w kontekście ciągu wielu antytez zawartych w 2 Kor 3,1-18. W perykopie tej św. Paweł broni godności swego apostolatu, a jego argumentacja opiera się na porównaniu posługi apostołów na rzecz Nowego Przymierza z posługą Mojżesza na rzecz Starego Przymierza. Dokonując analizy semantycznego pola „litery” i „Ducha”, można dojść do wniosku, że antyteza: „litera zabija, Duch zaś ożywia” jest metaforą zbawczej ekonomii Starego i Nowego Przymierza. Stare Przymierze nakładało na Izrael obowiązki, które zostały spisane literami na kamiennych tablicach, ale naród wybrany nigdy nie był im w pełni wierny. Słowa: „litera zabija” należy więc rozumieć w tym znaczeniu, że z powodu grzechu ludu posługa Mojżesza, ściśle związana z Prawem Bożym, stała się narzędziem sądu, śmierci i potępienia. Cechą charakterystyczną ekonomii Nowego Przymierza jest działanie Ducha Świętego. Jako Duch Boga żyjącego, jest On sprawcą nowego porządku zbawczego, w którym wierzący stają się uczestnikami życia wiecznego. Działając w sercu wierzących, umożliwia im dostąpienie przebaczenia grzechów i usprawiedliwienia. Słowa: „Duch ożywia” oznaczają więc, że Duch Święty, Duch ożywiający, jest w czasach głoszenia Ewangelii o Chrystusie źródłem nowego, duchowego życia chrześcijan.

What methods would you choose apart from increasing sedatives foragitation in an advanced patient with hypercapnic encephalopathy dueto AECOPD? This is a 94-year-old female who suffered from COPD forover 30 years, occurred with an accelerated episode of cough, productivesputum and a dropping down to 86% in SatO₂ due to a cold weather. Adiagnosis of pulmonary encephalopathy (PE) was made on the basis of thesubsequent agitation and delirium, and the sedatives, such as quatiepineand haloperidol, had to be given for her mental excitation respectively, butshe still pulled out indwelling needle herself and refused to any infusiontherapy. As an alternative, a vaporized therapy integrated with tea herbdrinking had to be applied to relieving her agitation, being designedas the vaporization of the inhaled oxygenation by means of high-flowoxygenation device (HFOD), with an ampoule of ambroxol mixed into theinhaler and simultaneous drinking of TCM tea herb for reducing sputum,helping dissolve the mucoid bolts inside her terminal bronchioles whenbeing infected. We thought that a better efficacy would be achieved forhypercapnic encephalopathy due to AECOPD if we concentrate on a goodventilation of small airway through the vaporized therapy.

Designing of engineering solutions to enhance efficiency of high-copper gold-bearing ore processing
Authors: Zalesov M.V. , Grigoreva V.A. , Trubilov V.S. , Boduen A.Ya.
Published: November 2021

The modern metals industry is characterised by a downward trend in the quality of ores involved in processing, and conventional methods of extracting useful components are inefficient for raw materials with complex composition. To maintain the growing level of metal production it is required to introduce new efficient technologies for processing of low-grade and refractory ores as well as man-made deposits. The article describes processing methods of refractory raw materials with high cyanide content using copper-gold ores as an example, where gold is the primary commodity, and copper is the accompanying useful component. The most common method of processing copper-gold ores is preconcentration followed by selective leaching of copper and gold. In some cases, technologies involving copper by-products and cyanide recovery from the cyanide leaching solutions offer equally effective options for processing of the copper-gold ores and concentrates. Copper-gold ores are processed at gold mines using the cyanide procedures, supplemented if required by gravity and flotation concentration. In all variations of the cyanide treatment, most of copper minerals actively react with cyanides of alkali metals, binding the CN– ions into the copper complex of [Cu(CN3)]2–. This reaction results in an increased solvent consumption, as well as in number of challenges related to cleaning tailings and slurries from highly toxic cyanide compounds and dissolved copper. In addition to technological complications associated with the need to meet strict requirements for the maximum permissible concentrations, copper accumulated in the cycling solutions also causes a decrease in gold extraction from the processed ores.

Introduction: Cancer is an incurable disease that affects people regardless of age, sex, race and social, economic and cultural status. Most cancer patients are treated with a combination of treatments based on the type of tumor, the extent of the disease, and their physical condition. Self-management programs empower people to deal with illness and improve their quality of life. Telemedicine in the form of mobile applications, websites and social networks is one of the effective tools to achieve this goal. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of telemedicine and social media on self-care of cancer patients.Method: English related articles were searched based on keywords in the title and abstract using PubMed and Scopus databases (from 1963 to December 2020). Keywords included telemedicine, social networking, self-care and m-health. Inclusion criteria included all studies published in English that examined the impact of telemedicine and social media on cancer patients' self-care. Review articles and non-intervention articles were excluded from the study.Results: A total of 516 articles were selected by title. After reviewing the abstract, 80 articles remained to be reviewed. After evaluating the full text of these articles, 9 eligible articles were selected for final review. In terms of the type of cancer among these studies, prostate cancer had the largest share (33%). In line with the main purpose of this study, in 7 articles (77.8%) telemedicine had a significant positive effect on self-care of cancer patients and increased self-care. In one article (11.1%) this effect was negative and reduced self-care. In 1 article (11.1%) no effect was observed.Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, it seems that web-based interventions and mobile health in most articles have been effective in increasing patients' self-care. However, due to the increasing number of cancers as well as the increasing use of telemedicine in the field of chronic diseases and cancer, the need for further studies is felt in this field.
Zur Psychoanalyse der Verschwörungs»theorien«
Authors: Müller Jakob Johann , Loetz Cécile
Published: November 2021

Die zentrale These des Aufsatzes ist, dass Verschwörungsphantasmen bestimmte psychische Funktionen bedienen, die ein labilisiertes Ich stabilisieren: 1. sie reduzieren Komplexität und beseitigen Ungewissheit, 2. sie binden Angst, Neid und Aggression, 3. sie dienen der Projektion, 4. sie befriedigen den Narzissmus und 5. sie stiften Identität. Verschwörungsphantasmen erfahren ihre Kraft letztlich aus Affekten, nicht aus Argumenten, sind deshalb gegen Letztere immun. Sie lassen sich nicht in Abgrenzung zu einer vermeintlich vernünftigen Normalität begreifen – so vernünftig ist die Normalität nicht –, sondern nur in Reflexion auf ihre affektiven Bindungskräfte. Als kollektives Phänomen sind sie zugleich das Symptom gesellschaftlicher Krisen sowie einer generellen Diffusion von Machtund Herrschaftsverhältnissen in der Moderne. Wie krude auch immer ihre Gestalt erscheinen mag, sind Verschwörungsphantasmen letztlich eine bestimmte Weise, mit den eigenen Erfahrungen umzugehen und sich gegen schmerzhafte Gefühle abzuschotten.

History has proven the development of Jawi calligraphy is in line with the development of Islam in the archipelago. It is the root of the nation’s identity that must be defended and maintained. As with other subjects, the challenge to learning Jawi calligraphy at this time is that the whole world including Malaysia is affected by the COVID 19 pandemic. Therefore, all learning activities are now geared towards teaching and learning from home (PdPR) as methods to ensure the continuity of education. Therefore, it is very important that Jawi calligraphy is given a new breath in teaching and learning. This research article will discuss the mobile learning approach (M-Learning) for Jawi calligraphy. Important elements discussed include the application development process according to the needs of teaching and learning activities. The features of the application that contribute to the improvement of students’ learning experience as well as the results of tests performed on students are also stated. The success of this M-Learning application for learning Jawi calligraphy will certainly be able to be further expanded to the learning of other subjects in various fields.
