Published: August 2023

Sperm morphological assessment is a critical component in bull breeding soundness evaluations. Although sperm morphology is an important parameter to identify subfertile from fertile bulls, the evaluation can be biased because sperm staining methods used under field conditions may not be exact due to various factors, including artifacts. Objective was to compare 2 sperm morphological evaluation methods. Prebreeding season ejaculates of 1,216 Angus cross bulls collected via electroejaculation were evaluated. For each bull, an unstained (UNS) and an eosin-nigrosin stained (ENS) semen smear were viewed under a phase contrast microscope and a brightfield microscope with an oil immersion lens, both at 1,000 × magnification. Normal and percentage of abnormal sperm were identified by counting 200 sperm. Inter-rater agreements between 2 clinicians for the percentage of abnormal sperm determination and its categories were very good (ENS method, r = 0.84 – 0.96; UNS method, r = 0.76 – 0.96; p < 0.01). No differences (p > 0.1) were observed for abnormal sperm percentage determination and its categories between 2 methods. Correlation was very good between 2 methods for total abnormal sperm percentage determination (r = 0.91; p < 0.01) and its categories (r = 0.84 – 0.96; p < 0.05). Additionally, 60 ejaculates were evaluated by triple stain (TS), ENS, and UNS methods. Agreements between TS (percentage of sperm with damaged membrane) and ENS (percentage of abnormal sperm) and between TS and UNS methods were moderate (r = 0.58; p < 0.05) and fair (r = 0.43; p < 0.05), respectively. Based on our findings, either technique can be used for bull sperm morphological evaluation under field conditions. Considering the ease of semen smear preparation, the UNS method can be a viable alternative to the ENS method.
Merianthera calyptrata sp. nov. (Melastomataceae, Myrtales), a new candelabriform species from Minas Gerais, Brazil
Authors: Goldenberg Renato , Bochorny Thuane , Amorim André Márcio , Ziemmer Juliana Klostermann , De Fraga Claudio Nicoletti
Published: August 2023

Merianthera is a genus of flowering plants with up to now seven species occurring in eastern Brazil, in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Minas Gerais. It belongs to the tribe Pyramieae (Melastomataceae), and can be recognized by its shrubby or treelet habit with caducous leaves, 5-merous flowers with a strongly zygomorphic androecium, the latter with dimorphic stamens bearing complex dorsal connective appendages, as well as an inferior ovary and capsular fruits. We describe here a new species of Merianthera from two collections and a photographic record, all from the same locality, an inselberg in the Municipality of Jacinto, in northeastern Minas Gerais. Its candelabriform habit, with a fistulose stem, and solitary, axillary or cauliflorous flowers are only shared with M. burlemarxii. However, M. calyptrata R.Goldenb., Bochorny & Fraga sp. nov. has at least three characters that are absent in M. burlemarxii and all other species in the genus: the total absence of both a peduncle and bracteoles, the calyptrate calyx and the fruits developing from inferior ovaries and dehiscing through longitudinal slits. The first character appears to be unknown in other species in the family.

Early writing skills are a critical aspect in a child's language development. This article provides an overview of early writing skills and identifies several challenges often encountered in developing writing abilities among children. The importance of early writing skills as the foundation for language learning and communication is the main focus. This stage involves introducing letter forms, fine motor training, and the ability to connect simple letters into meaningful words. Proficient writing skills serve as the basis for more complex language abilities in the future. However, there are several challenges faced in developing early writing skills in children. One of them is the lack of attention from parents and educators regarding the importance of these writing skills. Insufficient support and appropriate stimulation during the initial learning stage can hinder a child's writing development. Additionally, another challenge is the difficulty experienced by some children in overcoming fine motor obstacles. Their untrained hand-eye coordination makes it challenging to form letters clearly and neatly.

In general, this thesis research aims to find out about how the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation builds its image without the role of public relations. This study uses a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The data sources used in this study are secondary data sources and primary data sources obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation which will later be compiled and described in manuscript form. The results showed that (1) the process of building the image of the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation was carried out in several ways, namely promotion through distributing brochures, parades, learning recreation, improving the quality of education, improving physical and non-physical conditions, and establishing friendship with the community. (2) The media used in building the image are social media such as Instagram and WhatsApp which are used to post activities from the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation in the form of videos or pictures, then through print media such as brochures and banners. However, the methods used to build the image of the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation to the people of Medan Tembung did not go well because they encountered several obstacles. (3) the obstacle for the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation in building its image in society is the absence of a public relations role that assists the Nurhayati Bersama Foundation in building its image in society and the location of the school which is in an alley.

The second half introduces the format of the issue and each article.
‘How to Grow Old Gracefully’: Advice, Authority and the Mentor in Women’s Late Life Writing
Authors: Culley Amy
Published: August 2023

This article considers what it meant to grow old gracefully as a woman in Britain in the early nineteenth century by focusing on intergenerational relationships and mentoring. Despite the ambivalent response to the figure of the older woman, her potential as mentor is frequently foregrounded in advice literature in this period. However, in contrast to this prescriptive ideal, the life writing of Lady Louisa Stuart (1757–1851) provides a rare opportunity to explore how older women navigated the culturally ascribed role of mentor. Stuart considers the vexed question of how to grow old gracefully in extensive correspondence with younger women and as a biographer of previous generations. The recovery of Stuart, a writer who barely published during her long lifetime, suggests how women’s late life writing has the potential to complicate cultural narratives of ageing and gender and provide insight into the dynamic relationship between writing and ageing.
‘Thou Breath of Autumn’s Being’: Voicing Masculinity in the Poetry of Late Life
Authors: Shears Jonathon
Published: August 2023

This article argues that lyric poetry is a form suited to contesting dominant ideas about masculinity because of its thematic and formal preoccupations with voice. It argues that voice offers a different way of viewing the social constrictions that accompany male experiences of ageing to the well-known theory of the mask of ageing. Through a study of a long history of Western lyric verse, which includes writers such as William Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost and Philip Larkin, the article explores the significance of restricted breathing in relation to dominant norms of masculine reticence and the physiological deterioration of the vocal profile in age. It then explores the possibility of counter-voicings of masculinity in poems with intergenerational themes from a group of post-war British poets.
Queering Time, Ageing and Relationships with Split Britches
Authors: Harvie Jen
Published: August 2023

This article begins by outlining some dominant narratives that produce ageism by socially constructing older age as a time of linear decline, social dependency, social isolation and intergenerational conflict. It then concentrates on recent work by elder lesbian feminist performance company Split Britches: Ruff (2012), Unexploded Ordnances (2018), What Tammy Needs to Know about Getting Old and Having Sex (2013) and Last Gasp (2020–1). It explores the alternative narratives of older age – or elder life – that Split Britches propose, as a time of futurity, desire, unexplored potential and intergenerational as well as intra-generational relationality. It also explores how Split Britches responds to chrononormative practices – which make socially produced understandings of time appear natural – by queering them. The article argues that Split Britches model socially progressive visions of elder life and relationships, both across generations and within their own, by queering dominant expectations and practices of relationships and time – including ageing.
Coda: Tackling the Gendered Dynamics of Ageism
Authors: Segal Lynne
Published: August 2023

How do we tackle the enduring prejudice against the very idea of old age, resulting in the habitual marginalisation and disparagement of the elderly by people of all ages, including old people themselves? It remains a challenge, especially knowing that women have always been aged by culture, and frequently discarded in their public and personal lives, far faster than men. However, in this wide-ranging collection the diverse authors help us to subvert the troubling ties between ageism and sexism, showing how we can instead deliver far more complex narratives of the ageing lives and experiences of all old people.

A Note on a Procedure for Improving the Development of Government Space Policy
Authors:   Bristol Spaceplanes, Ashford David
Published: August 2023

Government space policy processes tend to be driven by consensus. Foresight panels, reviews, competitions for early funding, and consultations are among the procedures used. These tend to be good at extrapolating present trends but less useful for predicting breakthroughs or for supporting projects that are not in line with the prevailing orthodoxy. This paper suggests need for a procedure for capturing potential breakthroughs outside of the orthodoxy sooner. Keywords: UK Space Policy, Innovation Capture

Over the next decade the number of humans venturing beyond Earth is projected to rapidly increase in both quantity and diversity.Humans will regularly fly to the International Space Station until it is decommissioned by 2031, will return to the Moon by 2025 via the Artemis programme, and will fly to space via commercial ventures. Spaceflight presents a hazardous environment for human health. To understand spaceflight-associated health risks further and to increase safety via advanced healthcare approaches, including personalised medicine, more data must be collected. Importantly, this data must be derived from a diverse cohort of participants and a range of mission formats. We propose that the UK should start to consider all citizens venturing into space as potential participants from which health and biological data could be consensually collected. Importantly, we believe that this routine data collection programme should adopt a similar strategy to the UK National Health Service and the UK Biobank, by including "omics" data for scientific and healthcare purposes. We consider how such a world-leading programme, kick-started via a pilot study, might be realised through appropriate policy design, including which measures to collect, when to collect them, and unique ethical considerations pertaining to the spacefaring population.

BRiM: A Modular and Extensible Open-Source Framework for Creating Bicycle-Rider Models
Authors: Stienstra Timo J. , Brockie Samuel G. , Moore Jason K.
Published: August 2023

Despite the publication of many bicycle models, there is yet to exist a common framework for building and extending bicycle-rider models that can be easily shared between researchers. To fill this gap, we have developed BRiM, a modular and extensible open-source framework for creating Bicycle-Rider Models. It uses an established bicycle model, like the Carvallo-Whipple model, which can be extended using components from BRiM's extensive library, or user-defined custom subclasses. It leverages the open-source Python package SymPy, a computer algebra system, to compute the equations of motion. This results in symbolic equations of motion, which, after code generation, can be used to simulate and optimise the model. The effectiveness of BRiM is demonstrated by solving a trajectory tracking problem using a direct collocation algorithm.
Les ammonites les plus récentes du Luxembourg et de la région frontalière franco-luxembourgeoise : Sonniniidés, Stephanoceratidés et Sphaeroceratidés du Bajocien (Jurassique moyen).
Authors:   University of Meknes, Maroc, Sadki Driss , Weis Robert ,   Musée national d'histoire naturelle, Luxembourg
Published: August 2023

The youngest Mesozoic sediments in Luxembourg are those of the Bajocian in the southwestern part of Luxembourg along the French border. The “Marnes sableuses d’Audun-le-Tiche” and the “Calcaire de Nondkeil“ units had previously been dated from the Lower Bajocian Humphriesianum ammonite zone, based on sporadic ammonite findings reported in the literature. Re-studying material from the collection of the Luxembourg National Museum for Natural History allowed identifying 17 ammonite species from the families Sonninidae, Stephanoceratidae and Sphaeroceratida. The herein described ammonites provide evidence that all three subzones of the Humphriesanum Zone, namely the Romani, Humphriesianum and Blagdeni subzones, are present in the Rumelange area. The stratigraphically youngest ammonite from the Grand-Duchy is represented by one specimen of Teloceras from the plateau south of Differdange.

COVID-19 Testing and Resources for Underserved Communities in Rural Tijuana
Authors: Penn Jacqueline
Published: August 2023

Flying Samaritans at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, undergraduate student-led organization which provides medical and dental care, prescription medications, and health education resources free-of-cost to two underserved, rural communities in Tijuana, Mexico. Free Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing is not widely accessible in Tijuana. Pandemic-related job loss and high rates of financial instability in the communities create financial barriers which limit COVID-19 test accessibility. The COVID-19 Resources Project was developed to provide free, on-site COVID-19 rapid tests to patients at Flying Samaritans at UCLA’s monthly clinics. This project also offers reimbursement for the roundtrip cost of transportation to vaccination sites for patients who lack access to their own method of transportation, in order to eliminate barriers to getting vaccinated. Lastly, partnerships created with non-profit organizations funded this project and allowed for the provision of additional resources to the patient population. Details regarding this program’s development are provided in order to assist student-run free clinics which may be looking to start their own rapid testing and/or grant-funded projects. Lastly, COVID-19 testing is planned to continue into the future.
