Published: November 2021

The potential re-use of red mud in the building and construction industry has
been the subject of research of many scientists. The presented research is a
contribution to the potential solution of this environmental issue through
the synthesis of potential construction materials based on red mud. A
promising way of recycling these secondary raw materials is the synthesis of
alkali-activated binders or alkali activated materials. Alkali-activated
materials or inorganic binders based on red mud are a new class of materials
obtained by activation of inorganic precursors mainly constituted by
silica, alumina and low content of calcium oxide. Since red mud contains
radioactive elements like 226Ra and 232Th, this may be a problem for its
further utilization. The content of naturally occurring radionuclides in
manufactured material products with potential application in the building
and construction industry is important from the standpoint of radiation
protection. Gamma radiation of the primordial radionuclides, 40K and members
of the uranium and thorium series, increases the external gamma dose rate.
However, more and more precedence is being given to limiting the
radiological dose originating from building materials on the population
these days. The aim of this research was to investigate the possible
influence of alkali activation-polymerization processes on the natural
radioactivity of alkali activated materials synthesized by red mud (BOKSIT
a. d. Milici, Zvornik, Bosnia and Herzegovina) and their structural
properties. This research confirmed that during the polymerization process
the natural radioactivity was reduced, and that the process of alkali
activation of raw materials has an influence on natural radioactivity of
synthesized materials.
Azure Lodging, Inc.: A Case Study on Capital Budgeting with Capital Rationing in a Service Industry Context
Authors: Burkert Michael , Calderon Thomas G. , Hesford James W. , Turner Michael J.
Published: November 2021

This case illustrates capital budgeting in a service industry context. Three features should make this case attractive to instructors. First, the firm's rationing of capital means that students must select one investment among competing investment alternatives. Second, the project involves renovation of an existing hotel. Most cases analyze a business expansion by estimating the net present value of a single series of cash flows (i.e., either future cash flows occur or do not occur). In this case, students model cash flows if the project is accepted, comparing those cash flows to a model of cash flows if the hotel continues without renovation. Third, we introduce Monte Carlo analysis, which is an advanced technique for assessing uncertainty. The extensive data students use in this case are from an actual hotel chain's project database. The case has been used in undergraduate and graduate managerial accounting classes.

Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

Obesity and type 2
diabetes are associated with serious, adverse health effects, including cancer.
Although bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce cancer risk in patients
with obesity, the effect of bariatric surgery on cancer risk in patients with obesity
and diabetes is less studied. We therefore examined the long-term incidence of
cancer after bariatric surgery and usual care in patients with obesity and
diabetes in the matched prospective Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND
METHODS

The SOS study examines
long-term outcomes following bariatric surgery or usual care. The current analysis
includes 701 patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes at baseline, 393 of
which underwent bariatric surgery, and 308 who received conventional obesity
treatment. Information on cancer events was obtained from the Swedish National
Cancer Register. Median follow-up time was 21.3 years (interquartile range 17.6-24.8
years, maximum 30.7 years).

RESULTS

During follow-up, the
incidence rate for first-time cancer was 9.1 per 1000-person-years (95% CI,
7.2-11.5) in patients with obesity and diabetes treated with bariatric surgery and
14.1 per 1000-person-years (95% CI, 11.2-17.7) in patients treated with usual
obesity care (HRadj=0.63; 95% CI 0.44-0.89, p=0.008). Moreover, surgery was
associated with reduced cancer incidence in women (HRadj=0.58; 0.38-0.90, p=0.016),
although the sex-treatment interaction was non-significant (p=0.630). In
addition, diabetes remission at the 10-year follow-up was associated with
reduced cancer incidence (HRadj=0.40; 95% CI 0.22-0.74, p=0.003).

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest
that bariatric surgery prevents cancer in patients with obesity and diabetes,
and that durable diabetes remission is associated with reduced cancer risk.
Modelling Ocean Connectivity
Authors: Poto Margherita Paola , Johansen Elise
Published: November 2021

Regulatory coherence is crucial to effectively respond to the growing pressures that our oceans are facing. Applying the interpretative lens of ocean connectivity to ocean governance can help address the challenges from a material, epistemic, and geopolitical viewpoint. This special issue intends to uncover various understandings of ocean connectivity taking into account the complex biocultural interactions happening in the marine environment. The research aim is divided into two objectives: (1) to explore the various conceptualizations of ocean connectivity; and (2) to provide a critical analysis on how the law (of the sea) considers or disregards ocean connectivity. Our research methodology combines a literature review and a mapping technique that examines the models of connectivity. The mapping technique has been developed by adopting the ‘one-pager approach’, where the authors have been asked to answer two research questions, aligned with our research objectives. We structured the work into an introductory section and three main articles. The understanding of ocean connectivity is key to developing international marine policy and suggesting legal tools for the protection of the marine environment. Moving from this angle towards an understanding of connectivity which includes bio-centric elements, Indigenous cosmo-visions, and anthropocentric connectivity, we identified three models of connectivity and explored their suitability to address the systemic challenges.
Dansedidaktikk – klaustrofobi: En performativ dialog mellom autoetnografiske stoppøyeblikk fra egen danseutdanning og kritisk dansepedagogikkforskning
Authors: Husby Victoria
Published: November 2021

I denne artikkelen undersøker jeg hvordan egne autoetnografiske stoppøyeblikk fra høyere danseutdanning kan forstås i lys av eksisterende kritisk forskning på dans i høyere utdanning (Anttila, 2013; Green, 2002–2003; Lakes, 2005; Mabingo & Koff, 2018; Østern, 2016, 2017b). Med en performativ tilnærming tegnes og skrives øyeblikk frem fra min egen utdannelse, med fokus på de erfaringer som har bidratt til negativ transformasjon av meg som individ og dansekunstner, samt hva jeg har opplevd som fraværende i de danseutdanninger jeg har vært en del av. Disse stoppunkt analyseres gjennom å sam-lese de med et utvalg teori og med dette ønsker jeg å bidra med nye innsikter til feltet. De analytiske perspektivene er i særlig grad knyttet til forskning som påpeker de vestlige danseutdanningenes dragning mellom modernisme versus postmodernisme og eurosentrisme versus eurorelativisme. I teksten argumenterer jeg for at jeg som dansestudent ble sosialisert inn i en arv som har tatt form innenfor et større vestlig paradigme preget av kapitalisme og individualisme, hvor det er særlig fokus på ideen om en ideell dansekropp, samt et negativt hierarki mellom dansepedagog og student, som står i vegen for kritikk mot å bli redusert inn i en ferdigstøpt form.
Tid for anerkjennelse: Andre verdenskrig 75 år etter frigjøringen1
Authors: Hagen Thomas V. H.
Published: November 2021

In this article, the author argues that the need for recognition is a defining feature of the ways WW2 is commemorated and represented today, both in terms of professional history and popular narratives. WW2 as a source of recognition for groups and individuals is described as a process with three constitutive elements: diversity of narratives, a “moral turn”, and the personal acquisition of history. While representations of Norway and WW2 previously fit into an ideal-typical form based on how different stories related to the established – or later expanded and nuanced – basic narrative, the memory culture has turned and gained a more horizontally arranged structure from the 2000s. The characteristic of the 2020 anniversary seems to be a battle for attention and recognition. This is described as an agonistic memory culture. Also, WW2 as a source of recognition means that sensitive dimensions are activated. This has led to a change regarding the role of historians in society. Historians and other professional history-workers must not only master “real history”, but they must also be able to handle and contribute to meaningful processing of conflicts related to how the past is being understood, articulated, and negotiated.
Surface Chemistry of Halloysite Nanotubes. As investigated by adsorption reactions and imaging analysis
Authors:   , Gray-Wannell Nia B.
Published: November 2021

Interest in halloysite clay minerals has increased steadily over the last 20+ years, in part, due to their nanotubular shape and size, high aspect ratio and potential technological applications (Churchman et al., 2016). Throughout this thesis the surface chemistry of halloysite nanotubes is investigated by employing several analytical and advanced microscopy techniques to obtain a greater understanding of their internal and external surface features and surface adsorption reactions. This multifaceted analysis approach investigates a range of tubular halloysites of two morphologies, cylindrical and polygonal prismatic, where comparison of the two forms a framework for the presentation and discussion of the results. The results presented in Chapter 3 demonstrate the phosphate adsorption capacity of halloysite nanotubes is influenced by pH and maximum adsorptions of 1.3 mg/g and 0.5 mg/g were obtained for the cylindrical and polygonal prismatic morphologies respectively. Use of advanced microscopy techniques in Chapter 4 showed the external surface of the polygonal prismatic nanotubes have multiple steps and edges, which may act as additional adsorption sites, as has been shown for other clay minerals (Siretanu et al., 2016). In addition, use of cross-section transmission electron microscopy provided evidence of the link between the two morphologies, where the cylindrical nanotubes appear to be the template from which the larger polygonal prismatic nanotubes grow, as previously postulated by Hillier et al. (2016). In further novel work (Chapter 5), gold nanotags have been functionalised with a variety of anionic and neutral terminated linkers and used as nanoscale probes to study adsorption to the surface of halloysite nanotubes Here, transmission electron microscopy proved that the adsorption occurred primarily on the nanotube inner lumen and edges. The final technical chapter, Chapter 6, focuses on the structure and dynamics of interlayer water in halloysite through the use of neutron scattering techniques, where the initial results demonstrated that the interlayer water appears to move via both rotations and translations within the interlayer. The research presented ascertains that the surfaces of the halloysite nanotubes are more complex than often depicted for technological applications and that the specific tubular morphology is important in the functionality and behaviour of the nanotubes. This fundamental work contributes towards optimisation of halloysite nanotubes for technological applications.

Bendungan Bener berdiri di Formasi Kebobutak (Tmok) yang merupakan produk vulkanisme. Belum ada studi mengenai kerentanan lereng lokasi pembangunan bendungan hingga saat ini, sehingga mitigasi kerentanan lereng perlu dilakukan. Mitigasi kerentanan lereng dipelukan untuk mendapatkan langkah pencegahan terjadinya longsor terutama selama proses konstruksi. Dasar Penentuan zona kerentanan mengacu data yang diperoleh dari overlay peta geologi teknik, peta kemiringan lereng, dan peta situasi lokasi konstruksi. Data tersebut antara lain kualitas massa batuan, kemiringan lereng, Intervensi konstruksi (galian baru) dan eksistensi penutup lahan serta tingkat pelapukan yang kemudian diolah dengan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa lokasi pembangunan Bendungan Bener terdiri dari empat zona kerentanan antara lain zona kerentanan lereng sangat rendah (5%), zona kerentanan lereng rendah (25%), zona kerentanan lereng sedang (50%), dan zona kerentanan lereng tinggi (20%) yang berada di sebelah barat dan timur bendungan inti. Bendungan Inti dan lokasi genangan dibangun di lokasi zona kerentanan sangat rendah hingga sedang, sehingga galian untuk bendungan inti tidak memerlukan penanganan khusus begitu juga lokasi genangan karena potensi sedimentasi dari pengaruh longsoran di sekitar bendungan kecil. Beberapa lokasi konstruksi seperti jalan akses yang melewati lokasi dengan kerentanan lereng tinggi memerlukan penanganan segera seperti dengan shortcrete.

THE CHANGES OF WOUND MACROPHAGES IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES
Authors: Karatieieva S.
Published: November 2021

Purulent-necrotic lesions of the extremities require amputation in 30-50% of cases. Among all cases of lower extremity amputations 50-70% are due to diabetes. Moreover, 5 out of 6 amputations, not related to the traumatic injury of the limb, are performed in patients with diabetes. The mortality rate among patients with diabetes, who undergo amputation varies from 28 to 40%, and 5-year surveillance is only 10-25%. The study of ultrastructural changes of macrophages on the 3rd day of treatment revealed masses of chaotically located fibrillar structures in the cytoplasm of macrophages that occasionally had an increased electron density. This phenomenon was observed in the purulent-necrotic areas of soft tissues of patients from the main group, compared to the control group. In all cases, mitochondria were enlarged in size, swollen, with a light matrix and contained a reduced amount of cristae. The cristae were deformed and shortened. Swollen matrix in mitochondria led to the formation of vacuoles on their place containing fine-grained contents. The nucleus had a usual form and size with the presence of single invaginations. Chromatin was predominantly concentrated in the form of solid electron-dense masses or evenly distributed throughout the nucleus. There were nuclei with partial chromatin dispersion. The contents of the nuclei included granular, fibrillar, and fine vacuolar material. The nuclear membrane folding did not fluctuate significantly. The folds did not cover the whole surface of the nucleus. In some areas invaginates were represented by the continuation of perinuclear space only. The nuclear envelop pores, which connect the contents of the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm, have been observed. The cytoplasm between the zones of the plate complex was occupied by small mitochondria, single polysomal rosettes, and cisternae of granular endoplasmic reticulum, which was represented by extended intracellular channels and vacuolar formations. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum was predominantly located in the central part. The surface of macrophages in the process of their differentiation from monocytes was relatively plane. Occasionally there occurred small processes or pseudopodia. The number of pinocytic vesicles surrounded by a border was reduced in poorly differentiated cells. Ozone therapy stimulates the functional activity of wound macrophages, as it causes destructive changes in these cells without necrotic lesions. Intravenous introduction of ozonized saline con-tributes to the elimination of wound macrophag-es, mainly through genetically programmed cell death (apoptosis), which plays a significant role in the regulatory mechanisms of the inflammato-ry process.

Published: November 2021

Lectinohistochemistry methods are very sensitive and allow to identify certain types and subpopulations of cells, to characterize non-cellular tissue structures in morphological studies, when they cannot be differentiated by using traditional methods of carbohydrate histochemistry. In many diseases, changes in the carbohydrate component of various glycoconjugates are observed, which contribute to the modification of morphofunctional characteristics of the cell and changes in its interaction with other cells and extracellular factors. Most studies are devoted to the study of the existing pathology of individual organs and systems (or their norms) in adults and animals. Data from the scientific literature on the histotopography of lectin receptors in the first months of human prenatal ontogenesis are few, and regarding the peculiarities of the expression of carbohydrate determinants of the rudiments of the human parotid gland in early prenatal ontogenesis - are absent. Glycopolymers compounds make up structural and functional basis of cells and tissues of a living organism. The necessity of anatomical-lectinohistochemical examination of the parotid gland in early prenatal period of ontogenesis is substantiated, as the evidences concerning its topography are fragmentary and unsystematized, and certain aspects of its ontogenesis are disputable. A natural redistribution of glycopolimers of the cytolemma and cytoplasm of the cells of the epithelial anlage of the parotid salivary gland and the mesenchyma adjacent to it in the course of investigating 50 human embryos and prefetuses aged up 21 days to 12 weeks at stages 9-23 and the beginning of the fetal period according to the classification of Carnegy’s institute has been revealed. Invagination of epithelial cells in the regions bucco-alveolar pockets into the underlying mesenchyme and their transformation into epithelial cords due to the accumulation of specific glycopolymers lectin WGA, SNA, HPA, RCA, LABA. The results of lectin-histochemical examination of the early prenatal ontogenesis of the parotid gland can form the basis for the work of laboratories dealing with screening of morphological material in order to assess the degree of maturation and prognosis of fetus viability and diagnostics of deviations from normal development.
Communicative and pragmatic features of dramatic text as a kind of artistic speech
Authors: Struk Ivanna
Published: November 2021

The article formulates the theoretical foundations of the study of dramatic text, distinguishes between the concepts of “dramatic text” (affects the reader) and “dramatic work” (verbalizes the theatrical action for the viewer), because these linguistic realities are in the relationship of inclusion. A dramatic text is a unity organized according to certain laws, which has a clear structure: a certain number of lines, designed with the help of the author's remark, forms a dialogical unity; the combination of dialogic units forms a scene; the set of scenes constitute an act; several acts create a complete work. Obligatory factors of expressiveness of the dramatic text that influence the development of dialogic parts of the characters are pragmatic components of speech which are considered as certain rules of successful communication. In the communicative-pragmatic paradigm dramatic text is defined as a specific type of artistic text that has its own structural and speech features due to a combination of informational, pragmatic, stylistic and cognitive aspects, where the pragmatic aspect is found in speech acts, syntactic organization of cues. The scientific novelty of the research is DT of Bukovinian’s writers of the late nineteenth – early twentieth century that have not yet been the subject of analysis. The relevance of scientific research requires a holistic analysis of the dramatic text and difference between the concepts of “dramatic text” and “dramatic composition”, the study of mandatory factors of expressiveness of dramatic text, influencing the development of dialogic parts. The following methods and techniques of linguistic analysis are used in the article: system-functional analysis, method of discussion analysis, contextual-interpretive method. Conclusions. Dramatic text is a complex phenomenon with its own peculiarities of functioning. It is possible to penetrate into the structure of a dramatic text, to reveal the meaning of the author's intentions due to the volume-pragmatic division of the text. The communicative-pragmatic organization of DT influences the processes of active aesthetic influence of a work of art on the consciousness of the addressee. We see the prospect of the represented research in the further deepening of knowledge about the categorical features of the text in the communicative-pragmatic aspect.

Subject. The article is devoted to the study of the specific features of banks’ IPO preparation and execution.
Objectives. The focus is on the critical analysis of special aspects related to IPO of credit institutions.
Methods. The study includes analytical methods for collecting and processing of information, as well as the comparative analysis.
Results. I highlight the main characteristics of banks’ economic model, summarize the results of researchers' work on the analysis of factors influencing the profitability of credit institutions, analyze methods for evaluating companies for IPO purposes, identify main approaches to the assessment of bank value, and define the most appropriate methods to evaluate banks for IPO purposes.
Conclusions. In general, the process of preparation and execution of banking IPOs is similar to IPO execution by other companies. However, the nature of economic activity of banks determines specific methods for assessing the value of banks for IPO purposes. Currently, there is no single preferred method for valuing banks, while there are certain aspects of the use of general methods to determine the value of credit institutions. For the valuation of companies for IPO, mainly comparative and income methods are used. For the valuation of banks, it is preferable to use the comparative method based on P/E and P/B multiples. As for the income method, it is recommended to use discounted cash flow valuation based on FCFE calculation, as well as the dividend discount model.

Walking Softly in the Bush: Apprenticing to the Earth in an Ecological Curriculum
Authors: Latremouille Jodi Marie , Latremouille Vern
Published: November 2021

In this piece, we conceptualize walking in the bush as an act of ecological apprenticing. Even after many years of learning/teaching, we also attune to the limits of our knowledge, seeing ourselves as continually evolving in our practice of nurturing more ethical and responsible apprenticeship relations, both out in the bush and in the classroom. Together, we write about places in the bush that are sacred to us, places around the Nicola Valley and the Nehalliston in the interior of British Columbia. We undertake a holistic and relational dialogue, grounded in life writing and literary métissage (Erika Hasebe-Ludt, Cynthia Chambers & Carl Leggo, 2009). We interpret the work of an ecological curriculum through four interrelated concepts of apprenticing: 1) as a sustained and lifelong, imperfect and unfinished practice; 2) as learning/teaching through sensory heartful attunement; 3) as teaching/learning through wonder; and 4) as a gift which creates relationships and obligations (“bound by legal agreement”). Drawing on Vern’s lifelong pedagogical work of “walking in the bush” and Jodi’s poem entitled “Huckleberry Prayer,” we undertake an intergenerational dialogue around an ecological curriculum as an act of apprenticing to the Earth.
Walking on This Earth, Finding Belonging: Ruminations of an Unsettled Settler
Authors: Bartlett Stephanie
Published: November 2021

In this paper, I contemplate my positionality as a non-Indigenous settler of Scottish, English and German descent. I (re)visit places that have shaped my life-journey and engages in a thoughtful participation between language, land and my positionality as an emerging researcher within an Indigenist paradigm. I consider Regan’s (2010) concept of the unsettled settler, defined as non-Indigenous people learning to embrace the struggle to face truths of colonialism and the consequences of the Indian Residential School system. Through photovoice and poetic inquiry, I reflect on my own encounters with the land and more-than-human relatives as a way to disrupt colonial assumptions. Ruminations, pictures and a collection of poems invite an exploration of the curricular implications of land-based teachings and reconciling ways of knowing with the land. By delving into and sharing my own personal experiences on the land, I hope to invite non-Indigenous educators to consider their own positionality and relationship with the land as part of their response to the Truth and Reconciliation (2015) calls to action.
Walking the Talk: Three Language Educators Engage in a Walking-Based Art Inquiry for Anti-Racist Education
Authors: Oniță Adriana , Guéladé-Yaï Lébassé , Wallace Lucie
Published: November 2021

As language and art educators committed to anti-oppression, we sought to explore how walking and art-making help us reflect, inquire, create, and act, upon new understandings of anti-racist education. Living in three different cities (Edmonton, Vancouver, and Palermo), we collaborated on a walking-based art inquiry for ten weeks in the summer of 2020, combining walking, art-making (photography, painting, mixed-media collage, screenprinting, and poetry), reflecting, and discussing. We were curious to investigate, both individually and collaboratively, what an anti-racist curriculum looks and feels like to us, and what walking and art-making might do in the process of learning and teaching. We situated our project in an arts-based research paradigm (Conrad & Beck, 2015), and we were inspired by Feinberg’s (2016) walking-based pedagogy and Judson’s (2018) walking curriculum. This article presents artistic experiments we created, as well as curricular insights that emerged from our process, for example, that walking and art may serve as dehabituating forces to help us openly feel, question, protest, and reimagine education, from intersecting perspectives of race and language.
miyo waskawewin and aokakio’siit: Lessons in Learning to Walk Well
Authors: Tait Lesley Marie
Published: November 2021

In Canada's post Truth and Reconciliation classrooms, educators continue to seek ways to begin the challenging work of lifting Indigenous knowledges within their classroom and within the curriculum. Many educators have begun to turn to land-based or place-based learning as a potential solution to this challenging work. This article undertakes a holistic dialogue with educators and offers two words, aokakio’siit, miyo waskawewin, that may serve as pedagogical reminders on how we can walk well both within the classroom and within life. This article brings together professional reflections with Indigenous teachings received from Elders, as a potential way forward in the lifting of Indigenous knowledges within schools and as a way of being in the world.
