African Studies and Study Abroad
Authors: Lloyd David T.
Published: December 2019

Anyone trying to understand the relationship between African studies and study abroad in Africa faces a daunting task. One must analyze a diversity of ideas and issues emanating from various professional publications and organizations, as well as research specific initiatives within numerous institutions, that have helped define and shape the field of African studies over at least the last half-century. Moreover, it soon becomes evident that the development of African studies, including study abroad in Africa, cannot be understood in isolation but must be placed within the larger context of the development of, as well as debates about, international and area studies and study abroad in U.S. higher education. These must be placed in the even wider context of the interplay of forces shaping higher education in the United States, and increasingly abroad in Africa and the African diaspora, especially at the undergraduate level. Finally, while the fortunes of African studies and study abroad in Africa have been inextricably connected, drawing direct or even indirect causal relationships is ambiguous in many aspects. In brief, the inquiry into the connections between African studies and study abroad in Africa is at a very rudimentary stage, scarcely as yet receiving the attention by the scholarly community inside and outside of Africa that it deserves.

Authors: Quiñonez Santiago Arboleda
Published: December 2019

Etnoeducação é discutida aqui como um campo de gestão e produção de alteridade, bem como auto-representação positiva, no processo de um projeto de transformação e, até certo ponto, uma ruptura com o paradigma monocultural que prevalece na educação colombiana e em geral em nossos países da América Latina. Postula-se que o projeto etno-educacional estabelece propósitos abertamente decoloniais e libertadores, baseados na experiência e pensamento dos povos indígenas e afro-colombianos.

Helping Students Develop Intercultural Intelligence In Tertiary Education
Authors: Hiasat Lana
Published: December 2019

Many students never develop good intercultural competencies during their years at college or university. These students are often unaware of how important cultural attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors are in their daily and academic lives. Students are also unaware of their own cultural boundaries that may be impacting their communication and engagement with others. Assignments that teach intercultural competencies can help students in a variety of ways: to gain confidence in their own cultural identity and acquire a set of skills to communicate and lead in a global world. In this paper, the researcher discusses some effective activities that can be used to teach students intercultural competencies and increase students' intercultural intelligence. Activities are based on experiential and blended learning approaches and integrate technology tools to engage learners. These activities are based on Knowledge Workx intercultural intelligence training that introduces three key theories of culture: Hofstede's cultural dimensions, World View theory, and Knowledge Workx of 12 Dimensions. These theories follow the layers of culture found in an iceberg metaphor that includes the top of the iceberg and observable culture, next is attitudes, the third layer is norms and values, and finally the most hidden layer is one's beliefs. Based on these theories, three blended and experiential projects were developed to include cultural object presentations, a research project on current intercultural conflict, and a cross cultural communication research and application of cultural maps. Three psychometric tests were also used to increase intercultural awareness: culture learner/critic, worldview, and 12 Dimensions tests.

Published: December 2019

Zoos are places where a great number of valuable animal species are put together taken out of their natural habitats .This survey was carried out to survey the gastrointestinal parasites in animals at a zoological garden in Tehran, Iran. A total of 143 fecal samples from various captive wild animals, consisting of 40 different species were collected randomly and analysed for the presence of the different stages of parasites by direct smear preparation and zinc sulfate flotation followed by Ziel-Neelsen staining method. Data showed that the examined animals were consist of 12 species of carnivores (36 samples), 17 species of herbivores (75), 3 species of non-human primates (11 samples), and 8 species of different species of birds (21 samples). 23(16.08%) of animals, that belonging to 14 animal species, were infected with different intestinal parasites. Among 143 samples from captive wild animals 23 samples (16.08%) were positive for gastrointestinal parasites that 5 samples (3.49%) belong to Carnivores, 13 samples (9.09%) to Herbivores, 4 samples (2.8%) to Non-human primates and 1 sample (0.7%) to Aves. The prevalence of parasites was higher in Non-human primates (36.36%) followed by Herbivores (17.33%), Carnivores (13.88%) and Aves (4.76%).Some animals infected with more than one parasite species and have mixed infection, thus, out of 23 animal samples that parasites were encountered, 12 (8.39%) were infected with helminths and 13 (9.09%) were infected with protozoa. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites found in zoo animals examined in this study emphasizes the importance of controlling these parasitic diseases in order to keep animals, especially in the case of endangered species, in healthy conditions and prevent probable infection of humans working with these animals to zoonotic parasites.

Pencatatan perkembangan kesehatan sangat penting untuk kesinambungan data riwayat medis individu dan mutlak dibutuhkan oleh setiap orang demi mengendalikan derajat kesakitan. Hal tersebut perlu ditunjang dengan ketersediaan data kesehatan pasien agar pelayanan utuh dan menyeluruh serta berkesinambungan pada berbagai tingkatan usia termasuk pada anak usia sekolah. Untuk mengoptimalkan pencatatan kesehatan pada anak sekolah dalam pengelolaan data penjaringan kesehatan maka dilakukan implementasi aplikasi SIKAS di sekolah dan puskesmas sebagai pelaksana pengelola usaha kesehatan sekolah (UKS). Metode yang digunakan berupa pendampingan teknis untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan ketrampilan dalam implementasi aplikasi Sistem Informasi Kesehatan Anak Sekolah kepada 8 guru UKS SD sekolah sehat dan 8 pengelola UKS Puskesmas se-Kota Tasikmalaya dengan sasaran pencatatan adalah siswa kelas 1 dari 8 SD percontohan sekolah sehat di kota Tasikmalaya. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi dapat digunakan dengan mudah namun diperlukan kesiapan sumber daya yang dapat fokus dalam melakukan input data.

Evaluation of Marginal Fit of Two Types of Glass Ceramics (In Vitro Study)
Authors: Y. Ashour Youssef
Published: December 2019

Background: Veneered all-ceramic restorations are associated with a high incidence of chipping and veneer delamination from the inner core. Monolithic all-ceramic crowns facilitate the fabrication process and minimize residual stresses between core and veneer. A new material,zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate(ZRL), Celtra Duo was recently introduced for fabrication of monolithic anterior crowns to overcome the aesthetic drawbacks of traditional zirconia and also to improve the strength of the lithium disilicate.
Aim of the study: To examine the marginal fit of CAD/CAM: zirconia reinforced lithium disilicatand to evaluate it with Lithium silicate glass-ceramic crowns.
Materials and methods: Thirty monolithic ceramic specimens will be fabricated and divided into THREE main groups; Group I: CAD/CAM ZLS Celtra Duo milled and polished, Group II CAD /CAM ZLS Celtra Duo milled and glazed & Group III: CAD/CAM Lithium silicate glass-ceramic (e.max CAD). For evaluation of the marginal fit 30 ceramic crown specimens ten specimens from each material(N=10), subgroups Ia, IIa, IIIa will be fabricated according to the manufacturers’ instructions and thermocycled to simulate one year clinical service. Marginal fit will be measured for the same specimens by using CBCT (Ia, IIa, IIIa). For evolution of marginal fit 30 ceramic crowns will be fabricated, ten crowns from each material (N=10), subgroups Ia, IIa, IIIa.
Results: Will be arrangeand statistically analyzed.

Measurement of "Reed to Room"-Transfer Functions
Authors: Grothe Timo , Amengual Garí Sebastià V.
Published: December 2019

A method is proposed here to synthesize the acoustic response of a room to a musical reed wind instrument with tone holes played by a musician. The procedure uses convolution of a) two measured pulse responses and b) the mouthpiece pressure during playing. The novelty of the approach
is to include the sound radiation directivity of the source in the impulse response measurement of the room by using the wind instrument's air column as an exciter. At the reed input end of the air column pressure pulses at typical peak pressures of several kilopascals are generated using
a compressor and a solenoid valve, which provides a high SNR even at distant measurement positions. For auralization purpose, the source signal measurement is done very close to the sound generation locus, i.e. inside the mouthpiece. Because this measurement is largely insensitive to room
acoustics, the proposed method can be considered a very convenient alternative to music recordings in anechoic conditions. As a proof of concept we report here experimental results for the case of a bassoon. The method can be extended to auralizations of reed and lip-reed musical instruments
in virtual acoustic scenes, and sheds light on the importance of the reflective and radiative properties of the air column for the sound coloration.

As one of the most high-risk sections, the construction industry has traditionally been the research hotspot. Yet
little attention has been paid to macro-level accident situations of the entire industry. Therefore, this study develops a comprehensive
assessment model on accident situations of Chinese building industry, aiming at assisting the government to
better understand and improve accident situations of the entire industry. Based on China conditions, six indicators related
to accident situations are firstly selected to establish an indicator system; then structure entropy weight method is proposed
to determine indicator weighs, with dynamic classification method to explore the characteristics of accident situations. The
results demonstrate that the provinces with poor accident situations account for 53% of all provinces, and they are mainly
distributed in the central and western regions of China where there exist the underdeveloped economy. Meanwhile, some
provinces experience poor accident situations that could be out-of-control, especially for Hebei. Provinces in the southeastern
and northeastern regions of China perform relatively well, but they still have much improvement room for accident
situations. The findings validate the rationality of the developed model and can provide valuable insights of safety regulation
strategies for the government from the macro-level perspective.

This paper presents the solar soft X-ray irradiance (0.3–3.0 nm) obtained from the mission-long full-Sun X-ray images observed with the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) of the Yohkoh mission (1991–2001). The irradiance was calculated using filter-ratio temperatures and emission measures (EMs) from the full-Sun integrated X-ray signals employing a coronal spectrum synthesized with CHIANTI atomic database version 8.0. Dependence of the results on the assumption of elemental abundances is investigated. The SXT irradiance for a shorter wavelength range was also calculated and compared with the low energy flux (0.1–0.8 nm) of the X-Ray Sensor on board the GOES satellite. To incorporate the spatial information of the observed corona, we tried the alternative method to derive irradiance by applying the filter-ratio method to the images of northern hemispheric corona instead of spatially integrated signals from there. The EM weighted average of the spatially resolved temperatures turned out to be generally 20%–30% lower than those derived from the integrated signals, while the total of spatially resolved EMs are accordingly 1.5–2 times higher. This trend is enhanced when solar activity is the lowest in early 1996. The irradiance obtained from the alternative method does not significantly vary from the result from the integrated signals. This provides some validation for the simpler full-Sun integrated method. The temporal variation of the EMs of cool (<1.5 MK), medium, and hot (>2.5 MK) components indicates that the ratio of the hot component relative to the medium component is higher in the ascending phase (mid 1998–2001) than in the descending phase (1992–1995) of the solar activity cycle.

Interstellar neutral atoms provide a remote diagnostic of plasma in the outer heliosheath and the very local interstellar medium via charge exchange collisions that convert ions into atoms and vice versa. So far, most studies of interstellar atoms assumed that daughter hydrogen atoms directly inherit the kinetic properties of parent protons. This assumption neglects angular scattering of the interacting particles. However, for low relative velocities, as expected for charge exchanges in the outer heliosheath, this scattering is significant. In this study, we present how the parameters of daughter populations depend on the relative velocity and temperatures of parent populations. For this purpose, we numerically compute collision terms with and without this scattering. We find that the secondary population of interstellar hydrogen atoms, for the parent populations with the relative bulk velocity of 20 km s−1 and equal temperatures of 7500 K, has ∼2 km s−1 higher bulk velocity if the scattering is taken into account. Additionally, temperatures are higher by ∼2400 K and ∼1200 K in parallel and perpendicular directions to the relative motion of parent populations, respectively. Moreover, a significant departure of secondary atoms from the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution is expected for high relative velocities of parent populations. This process affects the distribution and density of interstellar atoms in the heliosphere and production of pickup ions. Thus, we show that angular scattering in charge exchange collisions is important to include in analyses of interstellar neutral atoms and pickup ions observed at 1 au and in the outer heliosphere.
From Sun to Interplanetary Space: What is the Pathlength of Solar Energetic Particles?

Solar energetic particles (SEPs), accelerated during solar eruptions, propagate in turbulent solar wind before being observed with in situ instruments. In order to interpret their origin through comparison with remote sensing observations of the solar eruption, we thus must deconvolve the transport effects due to the turbulent magnetic fields from the SEP observations. Recent research suggests that the SEP propagation is guided by the turbulent meandering of the magnetic fieldlines across the mean magnetic field. However, the lengthening of the distance the SEPs travel, due to the fieldline meandering, has so far not been included in SEP event analysis. This omission can cause significant errors in estimation of the release times of SEPs at the Sun. We investigate the distance traveled by the SEPs by considering them to propagate along fieldlines that meander around closed magnetic islands that are inherent in turbulent plasma. We introduce a fieldline random walk model which takes into account the physical scales associated to the magnetic islands. Our method remedies the problem of the diffusion equation resulting in unrealistically short pathlengths, and the fractal dependence of the pathlength of random walk on the length of the random-walk step. We find that the pathlength from the Sun to 1 au can be below the nominal Parker spiral length for SEP events taking place at solar longitudes 45E to 60W, whereas the western and behind-the-limb particles can experience pathlengths longer than 2 au due to fieldline meandering.

Using high spatial and temporal data from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we present unambiguous observations of recurrent two-sided loop jets caused by magnetic reconnection between erupting minifilaments and a nearby large filament. The observations demonstrate that three two-sided loop jets, which ejected along the large filament in opposite directions, were similar in appearance and originated from the same region. We find that a minifilament erupted and drove the first jet. It reformed at the same neutral line later, and then underwent partial and total eruptions, driving the second and third jets, respectively. In the course of the jets, cool plasma was injected into the large filament. Furthermore, persistent magnetic flux cancellation occurred at the neutral line under the minifilament before its eruption and continued until the end of the observation. We infer that magnetic flux cancellation may account for building and then triggering the minifilament to erupt to produce the two-sided loop jets. This observation not only indicates that two-sided loop jets can be driven by minifilament eruptions, but also sheds new light on our understanding of the recurrent mechanism of two-sided loop jets.

As the Sun moves through the local interstellar medium (LISM), neutral atoms travel through the heliosphere and can be detected by IBEX. We consider interstellar neutral (ISN) hydrogen atoms with a drifting Maxwellian distribution function in the LISM that travel on almost hyperbolic trajectories to the inner heliosphere. They are subject to solar gravity and radiation pressure, as well as ionization processes. For ISN H, the radiation pressure, which exerts an effective force comparable to gravitation, decelerates individual atoms and shifts the longitude of their observed peak relative to that of ISN He. We used the peak longitude of the observed flux in the lowest energy channel of IBEX-Lo to investigate how radiation pressure shifts the ISN H signal over almost an entire solar cycle (2009–2018). Thus, we have created a new methodology to determine the Lyα effective radiation pressure from IBEX ISN H data. The resulting effective ratio of the solar radiation pressure and gravitation (μ
eff = 1.074 ± 0.038), averaged over cycle 24, appears to agree within the uncertainties with simulations based on total irradiance observations7 while being higher by ∼21%. Our analysis indicates an increase of μ
eff with solar activity, albeit with substantial uncertainties. Further study of IBEX H response functions and future Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe data should provide significant reduction of the uncertainties and improvements in our understanding of the effects of radiation pressure on ISN atoms.
