God’s Goodness, Divine Purpose, and the Meaning of Life
Authors: Koons Jeremy
Published: July 2022

The divine purpose theory (DPT)—according to which that human life is meaningful to the extent that it fulfills some purpose or plan to which God has directed us—encounters well-known Euthyphro problems.  Some theists attempt to avoid these problems by appealing to God’s essential goodness, à la the modified divine command theory (DCT) of Adams and Alston.  However, recent criticisms of the modified DCT show its conception of God’s goodness to be incoherent; and these criticisms can be shown to present an analogous set of problems for the DPT.  Further, the argument can be extended to any account of meaningfulness according to which the value of what humans do can only be conferred by God.  Thus, it would seem that there is no tenable version of the view that meaningfulness is conferred on human life by some act or attitude of God’s.
Karl Christian Friedrich Krause On Animal Rights
Authors: Birnbacher Dieter
Published: July 2022

Krause’s philosophy deserves to be memorized as the first link in a chain of thinking on animal rights that is still on the way today. Though Krause was not the first to talk of animal rights in the history of animal ethics, his theory of animal rights is pathbreaking in embedding a conception of animal rights in an all-encompassing metaphysical system. The essay situates Krause’s theory of animal rights in the framework of his general theory of rights and points to the challenges Krause’s theory faces by the inevitability of trade-offs between animal and human rights.
¿Qué nos enseñan las ciencias sociales sobre el impacto del COVID-19 en América Latina?
Authors: Benza Gabriela , Kessler Gabriel
Published: July 2022

En este artículo repasamos qué nos han dicho las ciencias sociales de la región sobre los efectos de la crisis de Covid-19 en algunas dimensiones sociales clave: salud, educación, trabajo, ingresos, riqueza y pobreza. Las evidencias sugieren que la virulencia de la pandemia en nuestra región se vincula a sus desigualdades estructurales que, a su vez, están siendo reforzadas. Pero más allá de las múltiples consecuencias que ya son visibles y que han sido documentadas, en este trabajo argumentamos que las evidencias provistas por las ciencias sociales advierten sobre problemas que, aunque menos visibles hoy, presumiblemente tendrán secuelas en un futuro.

Authors: Ramlan Muhammad Nadzif
Published: July 2022

This study aims to explore the psychological and social effects of social media upon students at higher learning institutions in Malaysia and The United Kingdom.The study is done via qualitative approach as this study focuses on a case study to acquire unique experience by the participants.Three students are from Malaysia with and the remaining two are from England with different educational degree backgrounds.The participants mention the effects, the factors causing them and the suggestions to avoid or reduce the impacts.The finding elucidates the positive psychological effects include stimulating their study and relieving stress whereas the adverse impacts are procrastination, addiction and low self-esteem.The positive social effects mentioned by participants are student-student bonding as well as sharing of beneficial contents.The negative social effects are misinformation, cyberbullying, morality issues including pornography and cybercrimes, and poor physical interactions. The interviewees suggested that the factors that cause the negative impacts of social media were due to lockdown, peer pressure, perfectionism, procrastination and unethical usage of the online communication platforms.The research concludes with the suggestions by interviewees to impede the influence of social media in which they are parallel with previous findings of other researches such as limiting time for social media and encouraging face-to-face interaction instead.However, there are also additional inputs that are exclusively acquired due to COVID-19 and this will be elaborated further in this paper
Threats To Food Security in The Food and Energi Barn Area: Agricultural Land Function Change in Bojonegoro Regency
Authors: Danugroho Agus
Published: July 2022

This study aims to analyze how the threat of food security is due to the conversion of agricultural land in Bojonegoro Regency, which is used as an oil and gas industry. As we know, the slogan of Bojonegoro Regency is the Food and Energy Barn. However, this slogan also raises the question of whether the two aspects of food and energy can be balanced or if they will only harm one another. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method supported by data to strengthen the author's argument. The results of this study state that the slogan of the Bojonegoro Regency with Food and Energy Barns is a questionable thing in reality. Districts with abundant natural wealth of oil and gas pose a threat to food security due to the many shifts in the function of agricultural land. The impact of the conversion of agricultural land in several villages also causes various economic and environmental impacts. The Bojonegoro Regency Government needs to review and think about strategies to manage and make the Bojonegoro Regency slogans real and have an impact on the surrounding community. Researchers provide policy recommendations with balanced management between the oil and gas and food sectors for the sake of realizing it as a District of Food and Energy Barns.
Does it Matter for CBDC Design? Privacy-Anonymity Preferences from the Side of Hierarchies and Egalitarian Cultural Patterns
Authors: Koziuk Viktor , Ivashuk Yurii
Published: July 2022

Evolution of digital money demonstrates that CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency means a digital form of traditional fiat currencies) design is really challenging. While technically possible CBDC solutions are visible, much of institutional aspects are rest to be unsolved. One of the issues is a degree of privacy and anonymity. All historical forms of money had intrinsic property of non-traceability of transactions and only now this feature of non-digital money is recognized as strong institutional advance. At the same time, privacy and anonymity preferences could relate to cultural attitudes. However, money may distort expected logical relations between such patterns like “less hierarchies more privacy-anonymity” or “more egalitarianism less privacy-anonymity”. This potentially means that money may posit extra propensity to privacy-anonymity that is going beyond the cultural attitudes. Basing on the survey, we demonstrate some contradictions in how respondents perceive the preference of functional usability over anonymity of transactions. The same is relevant when cultural patterns are taken into account. It is more likely to find cultural closeness across respondents from different regions than strong determinacy of privacy-anonymity preferences by propensity to hierarchies or egalitarianism. Additionally, we checked hierarchies or egalitarianism attitudes by additional questions and found some mixed results. Also, we found some conformism culture (meaning unstable preferences) and rely it with lack of trust in public institutions. When centralized money are less trusted people faster agree to sacrifice anonymity in the benefits of functionality. The main take away is that it is unlikely to expect the unity of optimal CBDC design across countries. Aside of behavioural distortions, culture still matter and it is likely to expect future variety of digital money from functional usability privacy-anonymity trade-off.
Robust sparse principal component analysis: situation of full sparseness
Authors: Alkan B. Bariş , Ünaldi I.
Published: July 2022

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is the main method of dimension reduction and data processing when the dataset is of high dimension. Therefore, PCA is a widely used method in almost all scientific fields. Because PCA is a linear combination of the original variables, the interpretation process of the analysis results is often encountered with some difficulties. The approaches proposed for solving these problems are called to as Sparse Principal Component Analysis (SPCA). Sparse approaches are not robust in existence of outliers in the data set. In this study, the performance of the approach proposed by Croux et al. (2013), which combines the advantageous properties of SPCA and Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA), will be examined through one real and three artificial datasets in the situation of full sparseness. In the light of the findings, it is recommended to use robust sparse PCA based on projection pursuit in analyzing the data. Another important finding obtained from the study is that the BIC and TPO criteria used in determining lambda are not much superior to each other. We suggest choosing one of these two criteria that give an optimal result.

In this paper, based on new identity we establish some new Simpson like type inequalities for functions whose first derivatives are s-convex via Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. The case where the derivatives are bounded as well as the case where the derivatives satisfy the Hölder condition are also discussed. The obtained results extend some known results and refine another one. Applications of the results are given at the end.
“I didn’t know women could have haemophilia”: A qualitative case study
Authors: Fletcher Simon
Published: July 2022

Introduction

There is a historic but persistent belief in haemophilia care that women do not suffer with the condition, they merely carry and transmit it. However, around 250 women worldwide are known to have factor levels within the severe to moderate haemophilia range (<1 IU/dL to 5 IU/dL), and the true figure may be greater than this. The experience of these women may be the same as or similar to those of men with similar factor levels, but there may be significant differences. What these differences are and what they mean to the women affected are not well understood as their voices are not heard. This case study highlights the issues and experiences of one woman living severe haemophilia.

Methods

A single semi-structured qualitative interview was undertaken to explore the experiences of a young woman who has factor VIII levels of <1 IU/dL. The interview was recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed.

Results

Four interlinked themes were identified: recognition, self-advocacy, identity and access to treatment.

Conclusion

This case study indicates that, despite recent attempts to improve the diagnostic nomenclature, women and girls with haemophilia continue to find it difficult to access similar levels of care to men and boys. As such, they may fail to achieve parity in terms of safety, integrity and wellbeing, and have a reduced quality of life. If women and girls affected by haemophilia are to receive levels of treatment comparable to men, diagnostic criteria need to change further. Focusing on genotype, levels of factor expressed and phenotypical presentation rather than biological sex will acknowledge and validate their experiences, and improve treatment for all people with haemophilia in the future.
Underwater friction-stir welding of a stir-cast AA6061-SiC metal matrix composite: optimization of the process parameters, microstructural characterization, and mechanical properties
Authors: Sabry Ibrahim , Hewidy A.M.
Published: July 2022

It is an underlying fact for the case of the joining process especially welding to have optimized parameters to achieve joints with outstanding mechanical characteristics. In the current article, using stir-cast aluminum-based alloy (Al 6061) is stir-cast with Al 6061/5%wt. silicon carbide, Al 6061/10%wt. silicon carbide, and Al 6061/18%wt. silicon carbide was welded using an underwater friction-stir welding process. Optimum welding parameters [namely, tool rotating speed (N), welding speed (S), and silicon carbide (SiC)] are investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM) statistical approaches. High ultimate tensile strength and microhardness were set as required characteristics of quality welds. Since there are two responses and two objectives, multiple-criteria decision-making approach—response surface methodology was performed alongside ANOVA. Optimal parameters from these statistical approaches are converged to a tool rotating speed of 1,736.36 rpm, a welding speed of 11.58 mm/min, and a SiC of 16.67%, respectively. For the current inquiry, the computed ultimate tensile strength and microhardness are 984 MPa and 89.9 HV, respectively, and these values are congruent with the findings of effectiveness studies. It is deduced from this study that the optimal parameters are convergent irrespective of the two used techniques for the investigated experimental data.
Experiencing Everyday Otherness: A Study of Southeast Asian Marriage-Migrants in South Korea
Authors: Park Mi Yung
Published: July 2022

This study explores the everyday Otherness experienced by Southeast Asian marriage-migrant women in South Korea. South Korea is increasingly ethnically diverse due to the dramatic rise in international marriages between foreign women and Korean men, most of which are facilitated by marriage brokers. Yet little research has been conducted on marriage-migrants’ experiences of communicating with local Koreans. Drawing on data collected through in-depth interviews with five participants from Cambodia and Vietnam, this study focuses on specific factors that cause conflicts between these women and local Koreans in various social contexts, including the household, workplaces, and wider communities, and how the women respond to such conflicts and manage challenging interactions. The participants’ narratives demonstrate the tensions and conflicts they encounter, which can be divided into three categories: the imposition of Korean ways of living, negative stereotyping, and language use. The women describe being perceived as deviating from Korean society’s cultural and linguistic norms and facing pressure to conform to these norms, which sometimes conflict with their own sense of identity. In addition, they experience marginalization through Othering and negative stereotyping in their interactions with Koreans and struggle to develop a sense of belonging to the host society. The results of this study provide implications for second language programs designed for marriage-migrants, which have the potential to enable marriage-migrants to achieve sustainable development in their second language learning and to support their development of multilingual and multicultural identities.
Mediation: Teachers’ Attitudes and Perceptions of Needs at European Universities in the Context of Eu Language Policy
Authors: Kossakowska-Pisarek Sylwia , Siddall Roy , Świerk Malgorzata
Published: July 2022

Mediation is a novel concept in language teaching and learning, and the needs and attitudes of language teachers towards it are largely unexplored. This article provides a brief overview of European language policy and discusses the action-oriented approach in the context of this paradigm shift in language learning and teaching. Finally, an exploratory study is presented that examined the needs and attitudes of language teachers from four European universities regarding mediation, as it has been formulated in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) (Council of Europe, 2001) and redefined in the CEFR Companion Volume with New Descriptors (Council of Europe, 2018). The participating teachers were from the language centres of Charles University in the Czech Republic, Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania, the University of Helsinki in Finland, and the University of Warsaw in Poland. The study survey measured the strength of (dis)agreement of the teachers with 12 statements concerning various aspects of mediation in the context of their teaching practice. These related to understanding what mediation is and its importance, mediating a text, mediating concepts, mediating communication, and mediation strategies. In addition, two open questions concerned the practice of promoting multilingual and intercultural education and the needs of teachers in the area of mediation. Although the vast majority of the 79 participating teachers (91%) agreed that mediation is vital in language learning and teaching, only a third of them claimed that they understood the concept. Furthermore, the findings indicate that some aspects of mediation are more challenging for the teachers to embrace than others and that some fundamental aspects of mediation do not seem to be part of the current teaching practice of all teachers. Overall, the present study confirmed some of the challenges with the implementation of the CEFR into teaching practice at the higher education level.
A Sort of Permanence: Digital Remains and Posthuman Encounters with Death
Authors: Segerstad Ylva Hård af , Bell Jo , Yeshua-Katz Daphna
Published: July 2022

Digital remains, in the shape of devices and traces of digital content and interaction stored on the devices them selves and online, left behind by the deceased have come to play important parts in the lives of those who live on. With a posthumanist perspective we explore how user-driven engagement with digital remains are changing and diversifying existing practices related to loss and grieving. The digital remains can be seen to contain the “essence” of the deceased person embodied within the digital device. Based on interviews and observations gathered from the contexts of Israel, the UK and Sweden, we investigate the role of digital remains in bereavement and what implications the eventual obsolescence of these remains might have for continuing bonds. In doing so we seek to increase our understanding of the (post)human encounter with death and the human capabilities of digital remains.

Authors: Popova Yelena , Fesyuk Alexandra
Published: July 2022

The carsharing services have become the necessary component of the life of smart and sustainable city. They meet the numerous requirements put forward by these cities concepts and make life in urban environment cleaner, more comfortable and convenient and better organized. The goal of this research is to determine the factors facilitating the demand for the carsharing services, and on the basis of this analysis to consider the costs structure of these companies. The results are obtained via PLS-SEM analyses implementation in SmartPLS-3.3.7 software. The analysis revealed that such factors as Convenience, Additional Values and Economic (saving factors) have positive impact on growth of demand for carsharing services while New Way of Thinking is insignificant. However, the developed Costs function demonstrate that companies assume the costs of promoting “green” effect of carsharing as important ones. If they reduce these types of costs, it will have positive impact on their efficiency without decrease of demand.

The Phenomenon of "Managed Global Competition" and the Interests of Russia: New Competition in the Arctic Region
Authors: Shakleina T. A. , Vodopyanov K G. , Yakovenko I. D.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The authors are analyzing a new stage in the formation of 21stcentury world order,characterized by active policy of great powers - the United States, China, Russia, and other major powers. Primary attention is given to the U.S. strategy which the authors define as “governing (programming) strategy” aimed to influence (determine, program) policies and development of Russia and China who are declared to be primary challenges to the United States and their global competitors. The specified activities of the United States are considered in the article on the example of the Arctic region, which is becoming a space of intense competition between leading powers and a number of middle-level countries. Activities of China and Japan are described for better understanding of the situation in the Arctic. The Arctic has vital importance for the Russian Federation, and loss of privileged position can have serious consequences for the status and capabilities of Russia in the world.

Materials and methods. The theoretical basis of the study is structural realism. Not only the United States, but also other powers determine the institutional foundations of the emerging order, transforming old and forming new institutions, which is especially important for the Arctic. The methodological basis of the study is systemic approach, comparative and issuehistoric analysis.

Research results. Since 2021 the United States have begun a large-scale and multi-level strategy of constructing liberal world order aimed to deter and overplay Russia and China in global influence. In the framework of this strategy the Arctic region is of great importance as future role of the Russian Federation and the PRC to a great extent depends on their status in the Arctic.

 Discussion and conclusion. The authors worked out new definitions of “world order” and “managed competition” that are essential for understanding contemporary international situation, American global programming strategy, prospects for Russia in world politics and in the Arctic.

Lobbying: Its Role in and Impact on the US Government System
Authors: Gorovaya Ya. I. , Kremyanskaya E. A.
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The article provides an overview of lobbying regulations in the United States. The US lobbying legislation is an integral part of the whole country legislation system, with its regulations helping, in particular, to make the influence exerted by lobbyists on the decision-making process transparent. The statusquo of lobbying anywhere except the US, Canada and the European Union is nonidentical as there still have not been enacted any direct laws and statutory instruments regulating this field elsewhere [8].

Lobbying is thus apt to be misinterpreted due to its misperceiving and insufficient awareness. Consequently, the myth that “bribing” is an equitable sobriquet for “lobbying” is still going strong and has yet to be dissected. The author delves into the origins and history of lobbying in the US, tracing its enhancement and indicating legal loopholes still remaining despite seemingly exhaustive disclosure required. The author equally inquiries into theoretical justifications for regulating lobbying from deliberative democratic theory. “Grassroots lobbying” and “shadow lobbying” constitute likewise matters of concern to the article.

Materials and methods. The author employs both general and specialized scientific methods in the study. The issue of US lobbying development is addressed by means of historical method. In detecting legal loopholes and propounding other approaches used in relation to them either on federal level or in certain states, a comparative legal analysis and a logical method are combined.

Study results. The research has revealed that lobbying activities in general and lobbying practices in particular unfold at every level of government. The acts adopted throughout the US lobbying history provide a range of definitions for the terms “lobbyist” and “lobby groups”, clarify the status of lobbyists and circumscribe the cases of obligatory disclosure of lobbying activities. Lobbying appears to be a thriving field due to it exerting immense influence on legislative process, as well as the outcome of the elections. Last but not least, the study has ascertained the US lobbying system as the one attempting not to leave any of lobbying activities opaque from public perspective by means of eliminating legal loopholes. Thus, lobbying regulations significantly contribute to fostering transparency and democracy overall.

Discussion and conclusion. From our perspective, lobbying exists even when unregulated, hence not only its regulations do not constitute corruption, but they can also serve as a means of outlawing the latter by bringing policy makers under close scrutiny, i.e. establishing certain limitations pertaining their interactions with lobbyists and lobby groups hence the decision-making process. With the aforesaid aim, as well as with the aim of keeping the decision-making process transparent in general, lobbying legislation in the US has been gradually developing in scale and sophistication to eventually encompass the vast number of lobbying interactions.

Published: July 2022

Background: Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are a source of antioxidants with high content of polyphenols and anthocyanins. Grape skin is rich in flavonoids. Anthocyanins and flavonoids have the effect of lowering blood triglyceride levels. Purposes: This study aimed to determine the effect of using green grape extract (GGE) in lowering triglyceride levels in the blood. Methods: Five groups of white male rats (Rattus novergicus) were divided into a negative control group (KN), positive control (KP), rats with a GGE dose of 100 mg/200g BW as P1, rats with a GGE dose of 250mg/200g BW as P2, and rats with GGE dose of 500 mg/200g BW as P3. Each group was given a hypercholesterolemic diet for five weeks. Groups P1, P2, and P3 were given GGE according to their respective doses for 14 days, then measured triglyceride levels in the blood. Results: The results showed that GGE 500mg/200g BW significantly reduced triglyceride levels in all treated mice. Conclusion: These results indicate that GGE has a great potential to treat dyslipidemia by lowering triglyceride levels in the blood.
Die Rezeption des germanischen Choraldialekts in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts - Eine musikwissenschaftliche und kirchengeschichtliche Studie zu Begriff und Gegenstand
Authors: Zimmer Markus
Published: July 2022

Der germanische Choraldialekt war während dreier Dezennien ein Forschungsgegenstand, der über die Musikwissenschaft hinausreichte. Er wurde liturgiewissenschaftlich, missionstheologisch und kulturkundlich, ja selbst identitätspolitisch rezipiert und war in der katholischen und in der evangelischen Liturgie beheimatet. Markus Zimmer zeichnet das Entstehen dieser Forschungsrichtung nach und beschreibt Konflikte, die daraus für die Choralrestauration erwuchsen. Auch warum bald nur noch Fachleute darüber Bescheid wussten, wird erklärt.
Im Zentrum der Untersuchung stehen das Schaffen von Michael Hermesdorff (Trier), Peter Wagner (Fribourg) und Ephrem Omlin (Engelberg), das Schweizer Benediktinerantiphonar sowie die Kiedricher Choralschule mit ihrer noch heute gepflegten Gesangspraxis.

Penyakit infeksi khususnya di negara berkembang harus segera diatasi dengan pemberian obat kepada penderita, seperti obat yang mengandung antibiotik, antivirus, antijamur, dan anti protozoaKandungan yang paling banyak digunakan masyarakat adalah antibiotik. Antibiotik berhasil dimanfaatkan sebagai obat adalah karena ketepatan dalam peresepan antibiotik. Antibiotik yang tidak sesuai aturan resep akan membuat terjadinya ketidakrasionalan di dalam tubuh penderita. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Puskesmas rawat inap Nipah Panjang Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur pada tahun 2019. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif retrospektif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sebanyak 360 pasien sudah menggunakan antibiotik yang terdiri atas kandungan amoxicillin 68,61%, cefadroxil 9,17%, ciprofloxacin 16,11%, chloramfenikol 4,17%, eritromicyn 1,39%, dan metrominazole 0,56%. Pasien yang mendapatkan antibiotik kombinasi sebanyak 2 resep. Semua peresepan memenuhi ketepatan dosis dan frekuensi dan lama pemberian kecuali pada penggunaan antibiotik eritromicyn dan kloramfenikol. Sebanyak 328 resep tidak memenuhi ketepatan durasi penggunaan antibiotik

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in individuals aged 20-50 with 1081 cases of death (0.08%) in Indonesia. The main risk factors for PUD include the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Helicobacter pylori infection, alcohol, smoking, and physical stress. Nowadays, PUD treatment has transformed using secondary metabolites of herbal plants to compete with allopathic treatment adverse effects. Through this systemic review, several herbal plant metabolites from various studies are responsible for gastroprotective, inhibition of certain neurotransmitters, proton pump repression, or different anti-inflammatory effects. The literature search was carried through extensive databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Semantic Scholar, Springer Link, SAGE, and Google Scholar) with keywords linked with PUD. The scope of the data investigated included plant species, groups of metabolites, in vivo application doses, metabolites mechanism of action, and analytical methods.

Determining of the quality of honey reviewed from sucrose level with Luff Schoorl method had been done. On this research, 4 samples was taken and obtained from center market in Garut city. The samples were tested quantitatively by luff schoorl method. The principle of this method was iodometry because of iodide ion used as the basis for the determination of sugar levels. The results showed that sucrose level from 4 samples, such as A, B, C, and D honey were of 1.29; 9.12; 13.91; and 5.64% sequentially. These things showed that only A honey samples had sucrose level which corresponds to the rules of standard quality of honey, while the other three samples such as B, C, and D honey had the sucrose level did not match to the rules of standard quality.The quality standard of honey accordance to SNI 01-3545-2004 was ? 5%.

The immune system is a system that plays a role in maintaining the integrity of the body against the dangers that various foreign objects can cause. Immunomodulators are substances or substances that can change/modify the immune system. Empirically, Kayu Kuning or Yellow Wood is used as a cleaner for post-partum conditions. Yellow wood in East Kalimantan is the name for three species, namely Arcangelisia Flava, Fibraurea tinctoria, and Coscinium fensteratum. With the approach of improving the immune system and metabolism, immunomodulatory tests carried out on three types of yellow wood found in Borneo Island. The immunomodulatory activity of Yellow wood  steam extract in the non-specific immune response test used phagocytic index and organ index parameters where BALB/c female mice were randomly divided into 16 treatment groups which included a normal group, an immunostimulant comparison group (Levamisole 2.5 mg/kg body weight), an immunosuppressant comparison group (Methylprednisolone 40mg/kg BW), a test extract group with a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight, for the ethanolic extracts of A. Flava, F. tinctoria and C. fenestratum, respectively. Based on the study results, it means that the methanol extract of A. Flava methanol extract had immunostimulating activity, while the methanol extract of F. tinctoria and C. fenestratum showed an immunosuppressant effect
Projecting Cracks, Bending Borders: Exploring Gendered Racial Violence in Un/bound
Authors: Marchinko Elan
Published: July 2022

This article engages performance art as a critical intersticiality in which to excavate those necropolitical forces that mobilize human rights for (white) settlers across the same civic spaces in which racialized others are brutalized and die, in Canada, in 2016. Moving with several scholars of antiracism, dance studies and Indigenous theory, I self-reflexively analyze my piece “Un/bound,” that explores gendered racial violence against Indigenous women in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Contextualizing my performance within the larger installation Storying and Unsettling Ourselves,I discuss the powers of art to incite shifts in consciousness, where settlers, as artist-scholars, move from spaces of guilt into spaces of direct action in the struggle against colonial violence in Canada, and across the hemispheres.

The following is a reflective commentary on the place of Critical Indigenous Studies, with a focus on Kaupapa Māori Research, within Mormon Studies. Specifically, the piece explores the following questions: What does Kaupapa Māori Research look like when engaging in Mormon Studies? What positionality needs to be taken by Kaupapa Māori researchers and Critical Indigenous scholars when engaging in Mormon Studies? What are the main areas Critical Indigenous scholars and Kaupapa Māori scholars should engage when tackling issues around Mormonism? These questions are important in light of the growing importance of the cultural renaissance in Te Ao Māori and the rise of Kaupapa Māori Research.

Authors: Nguyen Thao Thy Le
Published: July 2022

Content-based instruction (CBI) has been applied widely in teaching English for specific purposes. This study aims to delineate a lecturer’s views of teaching legal English using the content-based instruction approach. A narrative frame was employed as the primary data source to gain insights into the perspectives of a Vietnamese lecturer. The participant was invited to write a reflection on different stages of his career from the past to the present and what he plans to do in the future. The data also came from classroom observation and teacher’s lesson plans. The findings show that the application of the content-based approach contributed to students' development in legal English. Students have opportunities to learn and use the target language in an environment in which language acquisition takes place through subject-matter knowledge. Moreover, the findings of this study reveal the teacher's concerns about teaching materials as well as the teacher’s content knowledge.

Catalases are antioxidant enzymes which are responsible for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. Catalase activities have been shown to be influenced by environmental factors and stress conditions. In this study, in silico analysis of Nicotiana tabaccum L. was performed via bioinformatic tools. The results of this sudy suggested that the ORF of NtCAT-1 gene is 1479 bp and encodes a polypeptide of 492 amino acids. The predicted polypeptide was revealed as a 56.82 kDa protein with a pI of 6.27. The polypeptide had an aliphatic index of 71.52 and the grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) of -0.519. NtCAT-1 protein is hydrophilic and localised in Peroxisome. NtCAT-1 had two conserved domains at the positions of 18-399 and 421 and 486. had the catalase activity motif (CAM) at the position of 54–70 and heme-binding site (HBS) at the position of 344– 352. A highly reliable 3D structure was obtained and from Ramachandran plot analysis it was found that the portion of residues falling into the most favoured regions was 97.23%. The results of this study will provide fundamental information for further research in silico studies on catalase protein in different plant species.
