What We Imagine Knowledge to Be
Authors: McGowan Philip
Published: August 2020

This essay looks back to 1947, the year that the Salzburg seminar was inaugurated, as well as looking at contemporary issues in American studies to chart where we have come from to date and where the field is heading. Its main argument examines the poems "Ésthetique du Mal" by Wallace Stevens from his 1947 collection Transport to Summer and "At the Fishhouses" by Elizabeth Bishop, first published in 1947, and explores common themes of knowledge, pain, loss, and history. As the Western world experiences again a moment of political and cultural uncertainty brought to the center stage of US and European discourse in 2016 by the election of Donald Trump and the UK vote to leave the European Union, Stevens and Bishop offer routes forward through such moments of heightened politicization. American studies, as a field of interconnected disciplines, continually confronts the difficult aspects of twentieth- and twenty-first-century life. As the rise of the Black Lives Matter and #MeToo movements have indicated, the open ruptures within American society will continue to pour forth debates requiring urgent critical attention and discussion. Incidents of racial hatred, of right-wing extremism, and of abusive misogynistic sexism, dormant to varying degrees prior to Trump's election, have come to the surface of a nation increasingly riven by what the reality of his Presidency means for America. Our job, as researchers and teachers, is to engage each and every aspect of this moment in history, however contested or controversial they may be.
First-Person Documentary Film and Self-Life Narration
Authors: Rieser Klaus
Published: August 2020

In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of this forum contribution:
My contribution to this forum on life writing contemplates life narrative practices in documentary film and proposes two theses that also bear relevance for other fields and media under discussion here. Firstly, it problematizes the concepts of autobiography and life writing for their applicability to (documentary) film, arguing with Alisa Lebow for a notion of "first person film."[1] Secondly, it contends that representations of the self in documentary film are more appropriately comprehended as a discourse rather than a genre.
Bayesian analysis of fuel economy experiments
Authors: Rahman Mohammad Lutfor , Gilmour Steven G. , Zemroch Peter J. , Ziman Pauline R.
Published: August 2020

Statistical analysts can encounter difficulties in obtaining point and interval estimates for fixed effects when sample sizes are small and there are two or more error strata to consider. Standard methods can lead to certain variance components being estimated as zero which often seems contrary to engineering experience and judgement. Shell Global Solutions (UK) has encountered such challenges and is always looking for ways to make its statistical techniques as robust as possible. In this instance, the challenge was to estimate fuel effects and confidence limits from small-sample fuel economy experiments where both test-to-test and day-to-day variation had to be taken into account. Using likelihood-based methods, the experimenters estimated the day-to-day variance component to be zero which was unrealistic. The reason behind this zero estimate is that the data set is not large enough to estimate it reliably. The experimenters were also unsure about the fixed parameter estimates obtained by likelihood methods in linear mixed models. In this paper, we looked for an alternative to compare the likelihood estimates against and found the Bayesian platform to be appropriate.
Bayesian methods assuming some non-informative and weakly informative priors enable us to compare the parameter estimates and the variance components. Profile likelihood and bootstrap based methods verified that the Bayesian point and interval estimates were not unreasonable. Also, simulation studies have assessed the quality of likelihood and Bayesian estimates in this study.
Plagiarism in Medical Sciences' Publications in Iran: The Extent, Reasons, and Preventative Measures
Authors: Esfandiari Mohammad , Sajjadi Seyyed , Siyahi Asma , Rahimi Forough
Published: August 2020

Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to analyze the main reasons behind plagiarism in medically-oriented articles and to determine its range. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase tackled the frequency of its occurrence in publications of medically-oriented universities. To this end, a total of 23 ISI-indexed and 74 SCOPUS-indexed journals, with medically-oriented topics, were randomly selected from the portal of the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education. The selected journals were published within the last 5 years. Then, in the next step, two articles were randomly selected from each journal amounting to 194 articles. The selected articles were then checked by TURNITIN plagiarism detector software to specify their similarity index with three familiar sources: the internet, publications, and students’ papers. The results indicated the similarity index of 66.09 and 67.89 for the ISI and SCOPUS indexed journals respectively. The study, additionally, went further to delineate the researchers’ perceptions of plagiarism, intended for preventative purposes and subsequent preventative measures. Therefore, eight researchers, with 15 to 30 years of publication experience, were asked to take part in a semi-structured interview. Based on their assertions, insufficient language skills, lack of robust research ideas and skills, pressure for promotion or graduation, ineffective punitive measures, insufficient funding, and leakage of research ideas through collaborative clinical practice were the main reasons for committing plagiarism. The study proceeded with some remedial suggestions.

Masculine Female and Feminine Male: A Study of Gender Slippage Amid Migration Spaces in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West
Authors: Wahla Mahin , Asif Saiqa
Published: August 2020

Abstract
Reviewing gender as a doing reveals how gender idiosyncrasy is framed and formed. The present study tackles gender as a discursively constructed category in Mohsin Hamid’s novel, Exit West (2017). Employing theoretical ideas from Butler’s Gender Trouble (1999) and Bodies That Matter (2003), this qualitative descriptive study analyzes the performative nature of gender. It exposes the constraints which the normative matrix of binaries inflicts on sex, gender, and desire of Muslim migrant and refugee characters living in non-Muslim spaces. Moreover, the paper investigates the role of religion, ethnicity, and cross-national gender differences in instilling dominant gender discourses in the minds of the migrants. The findings of this study reveal that the characters produce alternative discourses of agency, transformation and voluntarism against hegemonic gender norms while relying heavily on the processes of gender slippage and role reversal.

The Effect of Multimedia Videos in Reducing English Consonant Sequence Clusters Errors among 9th-Grade Students in the Northern Region of Jerash District: An Experimental Study
Authors: AL-Harahsheh Faisal
Published: August 2020

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the phonological consonant sequence clusters errors in the process of learning English as a second language among 9th-grade students in Jerash District. The participants' speech was recorded using a high-quality recorder before it was transcribed. The study sample consisted of ten students; five of them were males and five of them were females. It was found that most of the phonological sequence clusters errors committed by the 9th-grade students were represented by inserting a short vowel between the last two consonants of the morphological words and geminating the fricative consonant sound. As a remedial plan for those errors, the participants were exposed to an American language pronunciation by watching native speakers pronouncing the same words to improve their consonant sequence clusters errors. It was concluded that the phonological sequence clusters errors committed by the students were significantly reduced after they were exposed to the authentic language pronunciation.

Water Consumption Trend among Students in a University’s Residential Hall
Authors: Mohd Daud Faezzah , Abdullah Suhaida
Published: August 2020

In a university, student can be considered as the largest proportion of the campus residents. A university has to allocate high costs to cover student facilities with a very restricted fund.  It is important to understand how the student used these facilities.  Hence, in this study, a trend of water consumption among student was investigated. The objective is to identify the amount of water usage per person and the difference between genders. To measure the water consumption among student, water meter reading (in litres) was done by observing every block of student’s hostels at randomly selected days within five weeks. The collected water meter reading (in litres) was analysed using descriptive and some statistical hypothesis tests. From the analysis, it was found that the average daily water consumption of students in the residential halls is exceed average water demand which is 250 litres/student that provided by Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN). In addition, female student found to consume more water than male student. These outcomes showed that the university should take some initiatives to enhance student awareness on the importance of saving their daily water usage.

Free online resources are user-friendly technologies which have become available through the Internet in recent years and gaining popularity during Covid-19. Since learners use smartphones, free online resources are easily accessible. Books are portable, but learners find it somewhat difficult to learn English language via books which may only be available in the classroom context, whereas free online resources are easily accessed. The purpose of this study is to identify learners’ perception learning English via free online resources and traditional learning. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in the present study. Twenty-five international pre-elementary intensive English students took part in this study. It was found that learners perceived the free online resources as valuable tools for learning English in relation to reading, conversation, and vocabulary and also free online resources help promote free learning norms in learning the English language. The learners also had constructive attitudes towards free online resources. Free online resources always provide a motivating learning environment, enhance learners’ analytical and critical thinking skills, and encourage social interaction between teachers and learners, learners and their peers, and learners and other participants.

Authors: Ramos Geraldo A. R. , Elias Bruno , Yates Kyari
Published: August 2020

The neuro-fuzzy (NF) approach presented in this work is based on five (5) layered feedforward backpropagation algorithm applied for technical screening of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods. Associated reservoir rock-fluid oilfield data from successful EOR projects were used as input and predicted output in the training and validation processes, respectively. The developed model was then tested by using data set from Block B of an Angolan oilfield. The results of the sensitivity analysis between the Mamdani and the Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) approach incorporated in the algorithm has shown the robustness of the TSK ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) approach in comparison to the other approach for the prediction of a suitable EOR technique. The simulation test results showed that the model presented in this study can be used for technical selection of suitable EOR techniques. Within the area investigated (Block B, Angola) polymer, hydrocarbon gas, and combustion were identified as the suitable techniques for EOR.
Existe risco metabólico associado ao uso do desoxicolato de sódio na lipoenzimática?
Authors: Ferreira Gonçalves Leidyanne , Morales Torres Vanessa , Fernandes-Santos Caroline
Published: August 2020

O desoxicolato de sódio, ou ácido deoxicólico, é um sal biliar amplamente utilizado off-label para a redução da gordura subcutânea localizada através da técnica de mesoterapia, sendo este procedimento denominado lipoenzimática. Quando administrado por via subcutânea, ele rompe fisicamente a membrana celular dos adipócitos, causando a sua lise e uma resposta inflamatória local. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta revisão da literatura será discutir as evidências existentes sobre as ações metabólicas do desoxicolato de sódio em estudos com humanos e animais. Este debate se faz importante visto que apesar do seu uso não ser aprovado para nenhum procedimento estético realizado por nenhum profissional, no Brasil, ele ainda é amplamente utilizado off-label para a melhora do contorno corporal. Como resultado, os estudos analisados mostram que a aplicação subcutânea de desoxicolato de sódio provoca o remodelamento do tecido adiposo através da inflamação aguda e crônica, necrose adiposa e fibrose. Como consequência, é relatado dor, edema, eritema, hematoma, endurecimento e dormência no local da aplicação. Em estudos com humanos e animais, já foi relatado que o desoxicolato de sódio é capaz de alcançar a circulação sanguínea sistêmica e permanecer no organismo por algumas horas. Ainda, os estudos relatam que ele é capaz de alterar a concentração sanguínea de alguns marcadores metabólicos. Conclui-se que até o momento, as evidências cientificas não são suficientes para atestar a segurança desta substância ao metabolismo do paciente, sendo necessários mais estudos que auxiliem na decisão sobre o seu uso para a melhora do contorno corporal. Uma vez que o desoxicolato de sódio consegue reduzir as medidas corporais e, apesar dos efeitos colaterais, os pacientes ficam satisfeitos com o resultado obtido, é importante a condução de estudos que busquem validar a sua segurança para a redução da gordura subcutânea.
INFLUÊNCIA DAS COMPLICAÇÕES DO DIABETES MELLITUS NA UTILIZAÇÃO DO MICROAGULHAMENTO NA ESTÉTICA CLÍNICA
Authors: Lanziani Faé Ana Helena , Lunardelli Adroaldo
Published: August 2020

O microagulhamento é uma opção de tratamento para várias disfunções estéticas da derme, como cicatrizes de acne, rejuvenescimento facial e estrias. O equipamento consiste em um rolo formado por agulhas finas que estimulam a produção de colágeno por meio de perfurações cutâneas. Como todo procedimento estético, porém, o microagulhamento possui contraindicações que precisam ser respeitadas. A indicação desta técnica para pacientes diabéticos deve ser cuidadosamente avaliada, pois a presença da doença já confere risco para eventos adversos à saúde do paciente. O presente estudo objetivou realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre as contraindicações do microagulhamento, principalmente em pacientes diabéticos, buscando a redução dos eventos adversos e a melhora na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Foram incluídos na revisão 5 (cinco) trabalhos que se enquadraram na temática do estudo, indicando a contraindicação da técnica do microagulhamento em casos de diabetes mellitus. Frequentemente, estes pacientes acabam ocultando do profissional a verdade sobre sua doença no intuito de que possam ser elegíveis a realizar o procedimento na busca de resultados estéticos satisfatórios e, por tal, deve haver a atenção e a capacidade dos profissionais da estética em detectar pacientes diabéticos no elenco de seus sujeitos para que se possa propor estratégias mais adequadas no alcance de seus objetivos. Conclui-se que o microagulhamento é um tratamento seguro e que pode ser utilizado para um amplo espectro de indicações, entretanto, a injúria provocada pelas agulhas força uma resposta celular na derme que, no caso do paciente diabético, pode não ser benéfica, tendo em vista as complicações dermatológicas que precisam ser consideradas em um sujeito com grande probabilidade de desenvolver neuropatia e angiopatia.

Introduction:

Cervical spondylosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the cervical spine that affects the vertebral bodies, intervertebral discs of the neck, and the contents of the spinal canal. Spondylosis progresses with age and often develops at multiple interspaces. Though many conventional treatments are available but in view of their side effects and dependency, it is important to search for safe and effective Ayurvedic treatment.

Objective:

To evaluate the effect of Jambira Pinda Sweda in cervical spondylosis w.r.t. clinical symptomatology.

Materials and methods:

A single-arm, open, prospective interventional clinical study was conducted at two peripheral institutes of Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences. Total 60 patients of either sex aged between 30 years and 65 years, with clinical and radiological evidence of cervical spondylosis, were selected for the study. The treatment procedure Jambira Pinda Sweda was done daily for the period of 14 days. The patients were assessed at baseline, 7th day, 14th day, and 21st day (after 1 week without intervention) on the basis of relief in sign and symptoms of cervical spondylosis by reduction in the visual analog scale (VAS) score, Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire, and SF-36 Health Survey Score for Quality of life.

Results:

Mean value of VAS on baseline was 6.90, on 7th day it was 3.37, and decreased up to 2.57 on 14th day and 2.08 on 21st day showing statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001). The mean value of Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire on baseline was 45.79, on 7th day it was 23.57, which further decreased to 17.32 on 14th day showing statistically significant decrease (p < 0.001). The significant improvement was revealed in all the parameters of the SF-36 health survey (p < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Jambira Pinda Sweda have been shown to be an effective local Ayurvedic treatment for cervical spondylosis. During the study, no adverse effect was noticed; hence, it proved to be a safe treatment.
Meta-Study on Integrated Cooling of Modern Integrated Circuits using Microfluidics
Authors: Administrator System , Andrew Ben , McNamara Jesse , Karanikolas Michael
Published: August 2020

The substantial increase in the transistor density of integrated circuits (ICs) in recent times has allowed considerable improvements in computing power. With increasing transistor and power density, the heat produced by modern ICs has increased significantly. This in turn has negative effects on the performance, reliability, and power consumption of the ICs. A solution to the IC’s complications caused by overheating is integrated cooling, in which cooling fluid is delivered through microchannel heat sinks on the backside of an IC. This meta-study will investigate two microfluidic cooling technologies. First, implementing varied size microfluidic channels close to the silicone substrate of the IC. Additionally, a micro-pin fin heat sink is integrated into the ICs’ fluidic microchannels. Different sized pin fins were used, to achieve a wider understanding of the application of pin fins in microfluidic cooling and compare the thermal performances of each cooling method. Integrated cooling subverts the need for suboptimal thermal interfaces and bulky heat-sinks, as well as reducing the intensity of localised hotspots commonly present in high-power electronics. Further, by locating the main heat exchange medium closer to the die of an IC, we reduce the number of thermal interfaces. This meta-study suggests that cylindrical micro-pin fin arrays with pitch longitude and latitude of 60μm and 120μm, are more thermally efficient than plain microfluidic cooling channels.

Abstract. The GEOS-Chem simulation of atmospheric CH4 was evaluated against observations from the Thermal and Near Infrared Sensor for Carbon Observations Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) on the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT), the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS), and the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON). We focused on the model simulations at the 4∘×5∘ and 2∘×2.5∘ horizontal resolutions for the period of February–May 2010. Compared to the GOSAT, TCCON, and ACE-FTS data, we found that the 2∘×2.5∘ model produced a better simulation of CH4, with smaller biases and a higher correlation to the independent data. We found large resolution-dependent differences such as a latitude-dependent XCH4 bias, with higher column abundances of CH4 at high latitudes and lower abundances at low latitudes at the 4∘×5∘ resolution than at 2∘×2.5∘. We also found large differences in CH4 column abundances between the two resolutions over major source regions such as China. These differences resulted in up to 30 % differences in inferred regional CH4 emission estimates from the two model resolutions.
We performed several experiments using 222Rn, 7Be, and CH4 to determine the origins of the resolution-dependent errors. The results suggested that the major source of the latitude-dependent errors is excessive mixing in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, including mixing at the edge of the polar vortex, which is pronounced at the 4∘×5∘ resolution. At the coarser resolution, there is weakened vertical transport in the troposphere at midlatitudes to high latitudes due to the loss of sub-grid tracer eddy mass flux in the storm track regions. The vertical air mass fluxes are calculated in the model from the degraded coarse-resolution wind fields and the model does not conserve the air mass flux between model resolutions; as a result, the low resolution does not fully capture the vertical transport. This produces significant localized discrepancies, such as much greater CH4 abundances in the lower troposphere over China at 4∘×5∘ than at 2∘×2.5∘.
Although we found that the CH4 simulation is significantly better at 2∘×2.5∘ than at
4∘×5∘, biases may still be present at 2∘×2.5∘ resolution. Their importance, particularly in regards to inverse modeling of CH4 emissions, should be evaluated in future studies using online transport in the native general circulation model as a benchmark simulation.
(Re)producing Guilt in Suspect Communities: The Centrality of Racialisation in Joint Enterprise Prosecutions
Authors: Clarke Becky , Williams Patrick
Published: August 2020

Joint enterprise (JE) is an extraordinary legal device deployed to punish and (re)produce those who are frequently presented as threatening the normative boundaries of the British state. In acknowledging the global relevance of over-representation and the use of collective punishment, this paper presents the accounts of prisoners who have been convicted under JE laws across England and Wales. Analysis reveals a particular process of criminalisation through police and crown prosecution teams’ construction of the ‘gang’ narrative in courtrooms to drive the disproportionate punishment of members of negatively racialised communities. Of concern, the findings reveal that young Black men in particular are at risk of being convicted and punished for offences they did not commit. This paper empirically demonstrates how such racial injustice originates from a series of targeted and criminalising policies and practices.
Rebuilding the Harm Principle: Using an Evolutionary Perspective to Provide a New Foundation for Justice
Authors: Gibney Ed , Wyatt Tanya
Published: August 2020

Following Mill’s (1859) definition, the ‘harm principle’ came to dominate legal debates about crime and the appropriate response of the justice system, effectively replacing official talk of morality in modern secular societies. However, the harm principle has collapsed without an accepted definition of harm or a method to adjudicate between competing claims. To address this, we propose a definition of ‘good’ derived from evolutionary perspectives. From this, a universal goal for society can be recognised, specific objectives to reach that goal can be listed, and a new definition for harm can be used to repair the harm principle and restore its ability to underpin criminal law and the principles of justice in society.
Coping with Vulnerability: The Limbo Created by the UK Asylum System
Authors: Cortvriend Amy
Published: August 2020

Upon arrival in the United Kingdom (UK), asylum claimants undergo a complex application process with no guarantee of being granted leave to remain. Throughout this process, applicants live in ‘limbo’ with no certainty regarding their future. They are forced into poverty, are at risk of destitution and often live in substandard accommodation, all of which causes further harm, compounding the circumstances from which they have fled. This paper explores the stress and vulnerability faced by male asylum seekers during the application process and how they cope or resist vulnerability during this time. Based on narrative interviews, this research finds that the most stressful experiences for participants include living in ‘limbo’ throughout the asylum application process and beyond. As such, many coped by using distraction techniques, seeking support and through cognitive restructuring.
MODOS DE VIDA QUEER
Authors: Rodrigues Roberto
Published: August 2020

A presente pesquisa busca provocar o pensamento em torno do corpo e da sexualidade a partir da noção de performatividade e do surgimento de modos de vida queer. A partir das imagens dos agenciamentos do corpo de um performer é possível refletir sobre possíveis enfrentamentos micropolíticos que contestam as categorias de sexo e gênero e, sobretudo, buscam romper com as relações naturalizadas socialmente entre o corpo, o gênero, o sexo e a sexualidade em contextos homossexuais. Assim, pretende-se refletir sobre os modos de vida criados e inventados a partir das multidões queer na medida em que colocam em evidência seus traços, fluxos, devires e desejos desterritorializando processos de subjetivação das minorias, dos seres abjetos. Portanto, podemos pensar na força e no potencial micropolítico que a construção desses modos de vida pode engendrar a partir de uma posição consciente, afirmativa e produtiva da sexualidade. Trata-se, portanto, de assumir modos de vida homossexuais como ferramentas de uma grande maquinaria desejante que não se contenta com as formas instituídas de experimentar e viver a sexualidade, afirmando-se na própria diferença.

Establishing timescales for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposit formation and the temporal relationships between ores and the magmatic rocks from which hydrothermal, metal-rich fluids are sourced is often dependent on low-precision data, particularly for deposits that formed during the Proterozoic. Unlike accessory minerals routinely used to track hydrothermal mineralization, iron oxides are dominant components of IOCG systems and are therefore pivotal to understanding deposit evolution. The presence of ubiquitous, magmatic-hydrothermal U-(Pb)-W-Sn-Mo–bearing zoned hematite resolves a range of geochronological issues concerning formation of the ~1.6 Ga Olympic Dam IOCG deposit, South Australia, at up to ~0.05% precision (207Pb/206Pb weighted mean; 2σ) using isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS). Coupled with chemical abrasion-ID-TIMS zircon dates from host granite and volcanic rocks within and enclosing the ore-body, a confident magmatic-hydrothermal chronology is defined. The youngest zircon date from the granite intrusion hosting Olympic Dam indicates magmatism was occurring up until 1593.28 ± 0.26 Ma. The orebody was principally formed during a major mineralizing event following granite uplift and during cupola collapse, whereby the hematite with the oldest age is recorded in the outer shell of the deposit at 1591.27 ± 0.89 Ma, ~2 m.y. later than the youngest documented magmatic zircon. Hematite dates captured throughout major lithologies, different ore zones, and the ~2-km vertical extent of the deposit support ~2 m.y. of hydrothermal activity. New age constraints on the spatial-temporal evolution of the formation of Olympic Dam are considered with respect to a mantle to crustal continuum model. Cyclical tapping of magma reservoirs to maintain crystal mushes for extended time periods and incremental building of batholiths on the million-year scale prior to main mineralization pulses can explain the ~2-m.y. temporal window temporal window inferred from the data. Despite the challenge of reconciling such an extended window with contemporary models for porphyry deposits (≤1 m.y.), formation of Proterozoic ore deposits has been addressed at high-precision and supports the case that giant IOCG deposits may form over millions of years.

Authors: Malkoc Nedim , Çolak Serap
Published: August 2020

All of the behaviors that people exhibit in order to stay healthy both physically and psychologically and maintain their health during their lifetime are included in the definition of "healthy life behavior". In this study, it was aimed to identify and compare the perceptions of healthy life behavior of students of the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences and Psychology Department Students who study at the University of Health Sciences. A total of 199 students, 97 students from the sports science department (age: 19.84 ± 1.801, weight: 65.30 ± 12.460), and 102 students from the psychology department (age: 20.12 ± 1.916 weight: 60.17 ± 9.881) participated in the study. There was a statistically significant difference between the scale total scores of the participants and the dimensions of health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, stress management, and the measurements of the students of sports science students and students of psychology sciences in terms of an increase in sport sciences students (p <0.05). There was no significant difference between the participants' interpersonal communication and spiritual development scores, which are the sub-dimensions of the scale (p˃0.05). University education is an education period in which students can decide independently. These results showed that sports students and psychology sciences students' different undergraduate education also affected their healthy lifestyle behaviors. In this context, it is concluded that directing students of other departments of the university to exercise and sports activities will contribute to their perceptions of healthy lifestyle.

A Language Teacher in the ESP Classroom: Can We be a Successful Dweller in This Strange and Uncharted Land?
Authors: Rachayon Suphatha
Published: August 2020

The English for specific purposes (ESP) classroom has been described by a number of scholars as a strange and uncharted land for many language teachers. This is because ESP is designed to meet the specific needs of the learner, making it related to subject specialist content. Accordingly, some people feel that language teachers without a specialist subject background are “unqualified” to teach ESP courses. Rather, subject specialists should be the ones who teach these courses even though, in many cases, they are not trained to teach language. This paper therefore aims to find out whether it is possible that language teachers, who have limited subject specialist knowledge, can “settle down” happily in this strange and uncharted land. Reviews of the literature and previous studies of related topics, namely the definition of ESP, subject specificity, subject specialist knowledge, strategies for dealing with a lack of subject specialist knowledge, and the roles of the ESP practitioner, are discussed first. Then, the answer to the question is presented at the end.

The Effect of Restructuring Electricity Distribution Systems on Firms’ Persistent and Transient Efficiency: The Case of Germany
Authors: Badunenko Oleg , Cullmann Astrid , Kumbhakar Subal C. , Nieswand Maria
Published: August 2020

We evaluate the efficiency of electricity distribution operators (DSOs) as providers of local public infrastructure. In particular, we consider two types of efficiency, i.e., short-term (transient) and long-term (persistent). We apply the recently developed four-component stochastic frontier model, which allows identifying determinants of the two types of efficiency, after controlling for firm heterogeneity and random noise, to a panel dataset of German DSOs observed during 2006-2012.Those DSOs operating in the eastern parts of Germany have undergone a profound restructuring after the reunification in 1990. We find that this was beneficial for their efficiency as they perform, on average, better in terms of persistent efficiency than DSOs in West Germany. Both eastern and western DSOs perform similarly well in terms of transient efficiency, which is expected as the sector is highly regulated. As such, we provide new insights on identifying the nature and sources of public infrastructure productive inefficiency, which is relevant for public policies.
A evolução do movimento da triple helix: uma análise das comunicações científicas por meio de técnica bibliométrica
Authors: Amaral Marcelo Gonçalves do , Messias Nathan Ribeiro
Published: August 2020

Objective: The object of this theoretical-empirical work is to analyze the evolution of the Triple Helix movement based on the analysis of the scientific publications database through bibliometric techniques.Methodology: This is an applied exploratory research. The publications database is structured as an MS Excel file fed manually from the annals of international conferences and other publications. The database is periodically frozen and the main authors, institutions, countries of origin, and topics are counted.Originality: The work is original in the idea of knowing an academic movement through its results.Main results: The database gathers 2,700 inputs (24% journal papers, 70% conferences communications, and 6% books, chapters, and others). These communications were written by 3,465 authors, an average of 1.28 authors per work. As expected, the creators of the concept, Henry Etzkowitz and Loet Leydesdorff, together or with partners, are responsible for 9.4% of all communications. Countries such as Brazil, the UK, the USA, Russia, and Italy are very active in the movement and organizing a conference was crucial to the dissemination of the concept in their countries.Theoretical contributions: The work contributes to a better understanding of the field of action of the Triple Helix theme. It is useful for researchers looking for literature, gaps, and research topics.Management contributions: The work presents contributions to the Triple Helix Association in the management of the movement and to conference organizers, in general universities, and their partners.

Objective of the study: This research aims to systematically review the frameworks (i.e. tools) proposed and applied by the literature on service innovation.Methodology / approach: The methodology is based on a systematic literature review, which included two main steps. The former revisited the work of Carlborg, Kindstrom, and Kowalkowski (2014), in which 28 articles were fully analyzed, whereas the latter comprised a complete novel bibliography review employing the Science Direct database, in which 109 articles were fully analyzed. Originality / Relevance: Overall, 87 Service Innovation Tools (SIT) were identified, analyzed, and classified concerning service innovation stages and sector contexts. Besides, the topics of New Service Development (NSD), Service Engineering (SE), and Service Design (SD) were discussed, especially regarding the main stages of the service innovation process.Main results: Results show that 87 SIT were applied in several sectors such as healthcare, education, tourism, among others.Theoretical / methodological contributions: This paper contributes to the literature on both services and innovation by examining a common-ground and under-researched topic: service innovation tools.Social / management contributions: Practitioners may benefit from an overall panorama of service innovation tools available for idea generation, analysis requirements definition, and conceptual design.
The possibility of using bacterial cellulose in particleboard technology
Authors: Wacikowski Błażej , Michałowski Michał
Published: August 2020

The possibility of using bacterial cellulose in particleboard technology. The paper presents the results of the influence of bacterial cellulose multiplication on industrial pine particles (used in wood materials technology), and then the use of the obtained biomass in the production of particleboards with reduced density LP1 type. Based on previous preliminary studies it was determined that the most effective growth of bacterial cellulose occurs using 5% wood particles in the breeding mixture. Two series of particleboards were produced: control and containing bacterial cellulose. Selected mechanical properties of produced particleboards (modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond) and selected physical properties (swelling and water absorption after 2 and 24 hours of soaking in water) were determined in turn. The boards made with bacterial cellulose had lower MOR and MOE values. Swelling after 2 and 24 hours was lower for boards with bacterial cellulose. The presented tests allow to state that bacterial cellulose can be a potential raw material ingredient in the production of particleboard while meeting the minimum requirements of the technical specification for boards with reduced density LP1.

The use of coffee bean post-extraction residues as a filler in plywood technology. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of post-extraction coffee beans used as a glue mass filler for the plywood glue joint on their selected mechanical and physical features. In the scope of the research the plywood of different content of post-extraction coffee beans in glue mass have been produced in laboratory conditions, as well, as reference material, the plywood with wheat flour as a glue mass filler have been made. The investigated material has been tested according to different features, including measurement of the plywood density profile, static bending strength and modulus of elasticity, shear strength, water absorption, as well as resistance to axial removal of screws. The significant reduction of bending strength, modulus of elasticity when bending, shear strength, as well as resistance to axial removal of screws has been found for samples with coffee bean residues, when referred to reference plywood. Also, decreasing penetration depth of coffee residues filled glue mass has been noted, with the coffee bean post-extraction residues content raise.

Bonding of sawmill birch wood with selected biopolymer-based glues. The aim of the research
was to determine the shear strength and in-wood damage share of birch lamellas with the surface shaped
by rotary saw cutting and bonded with the use of selected biopolymers, such as gelatine, caseine, gluten and
polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), as a reference bonding material. The results show that the highest shear strength was
achieved in case of PVAc glue used as a binder. From the tested group of biopolymers, a gelatine/acetic acid
mixture gave the highest strength.
Produktionsoutput versus Ausbeute
Eine analytische Herangehensweise an die Sägewerksorganisation

Produktionsoutput versus Ausbeute. Eine analytische Herangehensweise an die Sägewerksorganisation. In diesem Beitrag geht es um die Frage, ob bei der Sägewerksorganisation der quantitative Produktionsoutput oder die Schnittholzausbeute die wichtigere Betrachtungshinsicht darstellt. Dabei wird eine simplifizierende analytische Herangehensweise gewählt. Zur Veranschaulichung dienen 1) Schnittbilder mit guter Ausbeute und 2) mit reduzierter Stieligkeit. Diese werden einander in einer Bottleneck-/Produktionsmatrix gegenübergestellt. Von der Analyse sieht man dass in Anbetracht der endlichen Ressource Wald und der Preisentwicklung von Rundholz müsste man jedoch wohl den Weg der besseren Ausbeute wählen.

Published: August 2020

A reaction of [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane with wood and cellulose – chemical analyses. The paper presents tests results for [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (AATMOS) reactivity with cellulose and Scots pine wood. The tested material was treated with ethanolic solution of aminosilane and analyzed using instrumental methods, including elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy. The results of the chemical analysis indicated that [3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane exhibited reactivity with both cellulose and pine wood. In addition, AATMOS-treated cellulose showed a higher content of silicon and nitrogen and more significant changes in FTIR spectra than the treated wood, suggesting that AATMOS showed a higher reactivity to cellulose than to wood.
