Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food for Sri Lankans, and it serves as a key source of essential mineral elements. The variation of grain nutrient concentrations as affected by genetic factors (variety, grain color and age group) are not known, and those were tested in the current study. Total of 200 rice grain samples were collected using a stratified random sampling approach, representing all agro-climatic zones in Sri Lanka. Grain nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations were measured using Kjeldahl, Colorimetric, and General methods, respectively. Grain N P and K concentrations were significantly different among rice varieties (P<0.1). Grain N concentration varied between 4-19 mg g−1 . The highest grain N concentration was recorded in Bg 307 (14 mg g−1 ) while the lowest (i.e., < 10 mg g−1 ) in Bg 367, Bg 374, Bg 358, Bg 310 and Bg 379-2. Grain P concentration varied in the range 0.6- 1.7 mg g−1 . Grain P concentration in At 406 was the highest (1.6 mg g-1), followed by Bg 307, Bg 94-1, Bg 367 i.e., >1.3 mg g-1 and the lowest in Bg 403, Ld 365 and Bg 310 i.e., < 1 mg g−1 . Bg 357, Ld 365, Bg 406, Ld 368 and Bg 310 rice varieties showed significantly lower P concentration than other varieties (P<0.1) Grain N, P and K concentrations were similar among different age classes of rice varieties (P>0.05). Moreover, grain N and P concentrations between the red and white grain varieties were similar (P>0.05). However, varieties with white color grains had higher K concentration than in red rice varieties. There was a significant correlation between grain P and K concentrations (r =0.496, P<0.001). This information would be useful when selecting rice varieties with high and low nutritional qualities and implementing sustainable nutrient management practices in rice-based cropping systems in Sri Lanka.

The application of aluminium alloys in construction sector is increasing owing to their excellent corrosion resistance, light weight and attractive appearance. However, one of the main disadvantages of aluminium alloys is the low elastic modulus, which may cause a stability issue in aluminium structural members. The performance of aluminium tubes can be improved by filling concrete within them. Research on the flexural behaviour of concrete-filled aluminium alloy tubes is limited. This paper presents an experimental study on the behaviour of square and rectangular concrete-filled and bare aluminium tubular sections subjected to in-plane bending. Total 20 beams were tested, including 10 concrete-filled aluminium tubes (CFAT) and 10 bare aluminium tubes (BAT). The hollow aluminium tubes were fabricated using 6082-T6 alloy and filled with 25 MPa cylinder compressive strength concrete. The material properties of aluminium were measured by tensile test of coupons. It is shown that the flexural strength, stiffness and ductility of square and rectangular BAT flexural members was remarkably improved by the infilled concrete and the improvement is more pronounced for the thinner aluminium sections. Due to absence of design standards for CFAT beams, in this study the design rules available for concrete-filled steel tubular flexural members in the Eurocode 4 are considered by substituting the mechanical properties of steel with those of aluminium alloy. It is demonstrated that the proposed design rules provide good predictions of the flexural capacity of CFAT.

Poems as Specters: Revenant Longing for Roots in Jean Toomer’s Cane
Authors: Gáti Daniella
Published: October 2022

This article investigates the subliminal anxiety concerning African American identity and origin developed by the poems in Jean Toomer’s Cane. Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s concept of the specter, I argue that these poems act as specters in that they enact and embody the South as a harmonious African American land of origin while simultaneously negating the possibility of its present or past existence. In doing so, the poems reframe African American longing for a point of origin into a haunting, anxious but impossible desire. Predicated on absence, the longed-for South (re)emerges as a sensual experience in the Cane poems, which manifests and negates the wished-for but unattainable original condition. Thus, the longing for a point of origin as well as its object—the American South—become Derridean specters, which inescapably challenge the foundations of African American identity while simultaneously constituting its core. In this light, the absence of previous critical investigation of the Cane poems becomes telling. The analysis of the function of the Cane poems reveals what other considerations will inevitably conceal: The United States’ past has not been and cannot be able to provide a solid and anxiety-free foundation for the identity of the nation’s African American citizens.
The Portrayal of White Anxiety in South Park’s “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson”
Authors: Binder Nicole
Published: October 2022

Humor lends itself as a convenient tool to address sensitive issues such as race. Since 1997, the TV series South Park with its brash satire and rampant irony has been a prime example of how such issues are negotiated in American popular culture. However, the utilization of highly rhetorical devices such as satire or irony has divided scholars on whether the series promotes or stifles social discourse on race and ethnicity. In this article, I examine the episode “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson” (2007), focusing on how white feelings of anxiety are portrayed in this episode that is permeated by racial tension. The particular representation wavers between a social critique of the state of race relations in the United States and a portrayal of white anxiety as hindering open discourse on the topic. Ultimately, the article demonstrates that the scenes containing elements of white anxiety are portrayed in such a way as to critique the current dysfunctional state of race relations in the United States, urging viewers to critically consider issues of race rather than to inhibit such discourse.
Novel Realities and Simulated Structures: The Posthuman Fusion of Forms and Simulacra in Richard Powers’s Plowing the Dark
Authors: Szadziewicz Katherine
Published: October 2022

This article examines the articulations of representation and being in Richard Powers’s novel Plowing the Dark (2000) from a posthuman perspective. In its double-narrative structure, the novel introduces a dialectic relationship between Plato’s theory of the forms and Baudrillard’s notions of the simulacra as its rudiments for exploring the boundaries of reality. N. Katherine Hayles’s theory of the posthuman provides an apt mediating lens to examine the competing visions of Platonic and Baudrillardian reality as presented in the novel. Examined in this way, Plowing the Dark not only asks questions about the representation of reality but ultimately performs narratively the patterns of reflexivity and virtuality unique to the posthuman world. The article concludes by arguing that Richard Powers employs the form of the novel to manipulate the semi-stable parameters of various systems of reality while engaging with the paradigms of the posthuman to explore the relationship between the construction and mediation of the real.

Background and objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to explore the current evidence surrounding the changes in functional status following open or endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair and the role of postoperative exercise-based rehabilitation programmes. Methods: The proposed study will incorporate two separate systematic reviews within it, one to assess changes in functional status (component 1) and another to consider the role of exercise-based rehabilitation for improving functional status (component 2), both following AAA repair. The Medline, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL databases will be searched using two separate search strategies including the terms “aortic aneurysm”, “functional capacity”, “functional decline” and” exercise therapy”. We plan to include all prospective randomised and non-randomised trials that have considered the impact of AAA repair on functional status and/or the effect of exercise-based rehabilitation following AAA repair. For component 1, the primary outcome will be changes in objective measures of functional capacity or physical function following AAA repair and, for component 2, it will be changes in physical function or functional capacity following exercise-based rehabilitation after AAA repair. The extracted data will include study characteristics – ie, sample size, a description of the intervention and control conditions (where applicable), outcome measures, length of follow-up and main findings related to outcome measures. For both components a narrative synthesis will be produced, supported by a summary table. We intend to conduct quantitative meta-analyses for both components. For each selected outcome we plan to evaluate the certainty of evidence based on the GRADE approach and risk of bias of included studies will be assessed using the Cochrane tool. Conclusions: Based on a lack of current evidence, we present a protocol for a systematic review to investigate the functional changes associated with open and endovascular AAA repair and the potential value of postoperative exercise rehabilitation.

Although tuberculosis (TB) is a treatable disease, it continues to be an important health problem affecting societies worldwide. TB is one of the 10 most common causes of death worldwide today, despite the efforts of national organizations and the global struggle efforts of the World Health Organization (WHO), that have continued since its first establishment and exceeded seventy years. Somalia faces many negative factors that hinder the success of TB eradication programs, such as limitation of economic resources, lack of adequate infrastructure systems in the urban and rural regions, inadequacies in sheltering and nutrition, as well as instability, conflicts, and difficulties in accessing health care services. However, the country has been located in a rapidly developing region where socio-economic development and transformation has been experienced in many fields in recent years. This study includes the analysis of Acid Resistant Basil (ARB) smear examination results of patients admitted to a tertiary health center in the region where public health surveillance, screening programs, and treatment interventions have been disrupted for the last 30 years due to the aforementioned reasons. A total of 5,160 ARB test results of 3,909 patients admitted to the hospital with different medical reasons during the 4-year period between July 2016 and November 2019 were included in the study. The mean age was 43.3±21.8 years, with a range of <1 to 97 years and the ARB test positivity rate was found to be %5.63 (220/3,909) in the study group. The positivity rate was 6.70% (158/2,199) in males and 3.99% (62/1,490) in females (p<0.001). The group most affected by the infection (TB) were young and adult men between the ages of 10-40. HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV tests were also performed for approximately half of the patients who requested ARB test and the co-infection rates for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were found as 9.68%, 2.46%, and 0.0%, respectively. These rates are compatible with the seroepidemiological situation of the mentioned viral infections in the region. The results also reveal the low frequency of HIV-TB co-infections in the Somali population, unlike other regions of sub-Saharan Africa. The co-infection rate for syphilis, in which fewer patients were tested, was found to be 2.27%. It was found that ARB positivity rates changed as 5.31%, 6.44%, and 5.63% between 2017-2019 and did not increase or decrease according to years; with the exception of 2016 (11.2%) when a small number of patients were admitted. Early diagnosis and early treatment of active cases are critical for the effectiveness of TB control programs. Despite certain limitations, the data presented in the study can be considered as a reference point for future studies.
ABOUT THE IDEA OF INTEGRATED REPORTING OF THE TERRITORY AS A MODEL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ECONOMIC REGION
Authors: Eremeeva O. S.
Published: October 2022

The article reveals the idea of creating an integrated territory reporting. Integrated territory reporting refers to public information about how resources, strategy, management of the territory, taking into account the external environment, create the well-being of the territory in the short, medium and long term. The relevance of creating such reporting is related to the search for a solution to the scientific problem of insufficient information support for effective management of the development of territories and economic regions. The novelty of the author's approach to the formation of public information about the territory, region lies in the fact that it is applied to territories as economic regions, not administrative regions; it is based on the principles of integrated reporting, which were first applied to the reporting of the territory, and not to the reporting of the organization.

The necessity and expediency of enhancing national standards of the type of technical specifications that norm the safety and quality parameters of meat and dairy products, which is a promising area of technical regulation in Ukraine, are substantiated. It is noted that possible directions for improving national standards that regulate the technical specifications for meat and milk products are the development of new and revision of existing standards aimed at regulating the rheological properties of products, as well as the use of environmentally friendly biodegradable packaging materials. An important direction in enhancing technical regulation is the implementation in national standards of technical specifications for meat and dairy products used to solve issues of food security of the state, in particular, the products laid down for long-term storage or intended to solve food problems of the population during the periods of emergency.

Published: October 2022

Coatings made of perchlorovinyl enamels have sufficient resistance to atmospheric influences, to the action of water, oil, acids, alkalis and corrosive gases. They are applied to metal and wood. The disadvantages of these materials include their low heat resistance (not higher than 80°C) and poor adhesion to metals. Elimination of the above disadvantages is possible by introducing additives of surfactants of various compositions into the composition of perchlorovinyl paintwork materials.
USING THE PM-3 METHOD TO ANALYZE THE INTERACTION OF HALOGENS WITH ALUMINUM

Published: October 2022

Using aluminum as an example, it was shown that the quantum chemical method for calculating RM-3 can be used to calculate the physicochemical properties of metals included in the first three periods of the periodic table. Face-centered cubic lattices of cells of unoxidized and oxidized aluminum were calculated (these lattices consist of cubic and rhombic subsystems). It was shown that the rhombic subsystem of the aluminum lattice does not oxidize at normal temperature in atmospheric air. Calculations showed that negatively charged halogen ions cannot chemically interact with the oxidized cubic subsystem of aluminum cells, in which each aluminum atom is chemically bonded to three oxygen atoms. It was found that the dissolution of the surface of oxidized aluminum in sea water occurs as a result of the interaction of negatively charged halogen ions with aluminum atoms located in the rhombic non-oxidized subsystem of aluminum cells. The destruction of an aluminum product in sea water begins only after the complete destruction of the rhombic subsystems of all oxidized aluminum cells on the surface of the product. It was shown that in sea water the most active destroyers of aluminum products are bromine and fluorine ions (at the same time, chlorine and iodine ions also destroy the surface of oxidized aluminum, but less actively). It was concluded that in order to increase the service life of aluminum products in sea water, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the oxidized aluminum layer on the surface of the products.

Published: October 2022

Objective: The rapidly increasing cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Turkey required the reorganization of the health
system. The first response to the pandemic in our university hospital was to stop elective surgery on March 30, 2020, minimize
outpatient consultations and reduce the number of patients in the wards. To determine the change in the number of patients admitted
to our hospital, we examined the data during the pandemic process and compared them with the data of the previous year.
Methods: The number of patients admitted to Pamukkale University Orthopedics and Traumatology Outpatient Clinic and Emergency
Service for orthopedic and trauma injuries between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020 was documented and compared with the
data of the same period in 2019.
Results: During the pandemic period, the number of emergency and outpatient orthopedics and traumatology admissions decreased
significantly by 15% and 42.93% respectively (p<0.001). The highest decrease in outpatient admissions was in April 2020 with 79.29%,
and the highest decrease in emergency admissions was in March 2020 with 31.35%.
Conclusion: In conclusion, due to fear of getting infected, curfews, and decreased human mobility, there was a dramatic decrease in
the number of hospital admissions between March 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare
in many ways, putting some healthcare systems under great pressure and pushing others beyond their capacity. New strategies can be
determined to ensure the continuity of health services and to maximize resources.

ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO EM MÚSICA: decompondo a prática para tornar visível o conhecimento pedagógico
Authors: Medeiros Pereira Marcus Vinícius
Published: October 2022

Um dos grandes desafios na formação de professores de música no Brasil é superar a crença arraigada de que saber música é o que realmente importa para ser um bom professor. Dessa crença resulta uma desvalorização do conhecimento pedagógico que acaba por tornar-se invisível para os professores em formação. Nesse texto, apresento uma atividade que tenho realizado na disciplina de estágio supervisionado em música, na Universidade XXX, que se baseia no conceito de decomposição da prática como possibilidade de tornar o conhecimento pedagógico visível para os estagiários, contribuindo para que este pudesse ser mobilizado na análise das observações realizadas. Para isso, ferramentas conceituais da LCT têm sido trabalhadas com os estudantes como recursos para a análise da ação pedagógica. Exemplos de textos analíticos produzidos por alguns licenciandos em música que participaram dessa atividade são trazidos para ilustrar o seu impacto positivo no seu pensamento crítico. A atividade tem contribuído, ainda, para valorizar a docência como profissão com conhecimentos próprios, e não como efeito colateral da formação do artista.

Published: October 2022

En las prácticas de la formación docente inicial, la escritura se establece como un proceso que permite evidenciar procesos de reflexión pedagógica y, junto a ello, ayuda a construir la identidad del futuro profesional. En este trabajo se recupera el análisis realizado por una futura profesora de química que desarrolla su residencia docente en el último año de su formación inicial utilizando un dispositivo de escritura. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa, centrada en un estudio de caso. La práctica reflexiva se desarrolló a partir de una problemática didáctica elaborada por la practicante, inscripta en vincular el contenido de las respuestas de los estudiantes en relación con la intencionalidad didáctica de sus preguntas, según los niveles de conceptualización. El contenido de las reflexiones fue analizado utilizando dos tipologías de categorías. Una de ellas, correspondientes a las modalidades reflexivas; otra, a instancias de contextualización y descontextualización del contenido. Esta última tipología fue elaborada recuperando la dimensión Semántica de la Teoría de los Códigos de Legitimación y, más precisamente, recurriendo a la gravedad semántica. Se construyeron perfiles de variación para las categorías correspondientes a cada una de las tipologías y se estudiaron las relaciones entre las categorías asociadas a las tipologías empleadas y las relaciones entre estos cambios, considerando su relevancia en términos de sus aportes al desarrollo de prácticas reflexivas. Finalmente se discuten implicaciones de la investigación para la promoción de prácticas reflexivas en la formación inicial.

Neste estudo aplicamos a dimensão da Especialização da Teoria dos Códigos de Legitimação (TCL) como uma ferramenta metodológica para analisar os discursos de agricultores com diferentes origens de formação do conhecimento especializado envolvido em uma capacitação de técnicas agroflorestais, uma das principais práticas da agroecologia. Foram entrevistados um agricultor familiar (participante da capacitação), um engenheiro agrônomo (técnico da capacitação) e uma agrofloresteira (técnica da capacitação). Cada entrevista foi analisada a partir de três níveis de refinamento das ferramentas desta dimensão: a Especialização – revelando os códigos da especialização; as relações epistêmicas – revelando os insights de conhecimento; e as relações sociais – revelando os olhares dos conhecedores. Estabelecemos uma metodologia de análise considerando os conceitos da TCL. A análise possibilitou compreender como cada um dos atores envolvidos no estudo legitima seu conhecimento e como cada um se legitima como conhecedor dentro do campo. Estudos como este são importantes para trazer o conhecimento agroecológico, através de suas diversas práticas, como objeto de estudo. Os resultados desta pesquisa podem ser ponto de partida a criação de metodologias voltadas para a capacitação de agricultores familiares.
CONCEPTUALIZING CREDIBILITY-BUILDING STRATEGIES WITH SPECIALIZATION FOR TEACHING ADVERTISING WRITING
Authors: Cheung Eric
Published: October 2022

Advertising discourse instruction challenges English-for-Specific-Purposes (ESP) teachers with no advertising specialist background. Teaching persuasive language structure and choice may develop students' linguistic repertoires for realizing advertising strategies in copywriting assignments; however, the rationale for deploying particular strategies and the underlying principles forming the strategies may remain invisible to both the ESP teacher and students. Considering this, the present study adopts the concepts of Specialization for revealing the knowledge-knower structure of brand credibility and conceptualizing credibility-building strategies as Specialization codes. This paper also describes how the knowledge about brand credibility and credibility-building strategies were applied and taught in a marketing and public relations (MPR) writing course. The conceptualization, recontextualization, and transfer of such knowledge shed light on how ESP teachers can integrate their knowledge about language into subject knowledge for more effective design and planning of the ESP courses.

Published: October 2022

La Internacionalización de la Educación Superior (IES) ha venido cobrando protagonismo como fenómeno de investigación y de desarrollo en diversos países. En diversos círculos académicos aun genera intriga, presentándose como un fenómeno con más preguntas que respuestas, y en círculos políticos gubernamentales es asumida como palanca de apoyo para mayores niveles de desarrollo en enseñanza, ciencia, tecnología e innovación. A tal extensión, la IES se defiende aquí como un asunto cultural-antropológico, sin embargo, ante la limitada cantidad de teorías y métodos para su análisis, se generan cada vez más desafíos al reconocerla como fenómeno transversal del desarrollo de la educación superior. Este artículo tiene como objetivo representar algunas líneas de análisis epistemológico para la comprensión de la IES tomando al desarrollo como pauta transversal. Para el análisis epistemológico se emplean las teorías de Ludwik Fleck, Larry Laudan e Ilya Prigogine, y el para el análisis hermenéutico que auxilia la visión cultual-antropológica se toman propuestas de Paul Ricoeur, Hans-George Gadamer y Michel Foucault, generando así el entramado que ayude a ver a la IES como fenómeno muy sensible vinculado al desarrollo, susceptible de comprensión racional y de construcción sociocultura, además de ser producto del descubrimiento empírico como tradicionalmente se le ha abordado.

An Art of Handling NoSQL Databases with Respect to Big Data
Authors: Begum Shaida
Published: October 2022

The cyber-physical world's computer and communication capacity is rapidly growing. To handle these tasks, a lot of data is consequently produced. The four main problems with big data are volume, diversity, velocity, and authenticity. Hadoop is one example of a storage-based data processing system that controls volume and diversity. However, an unduly complex method is necessary to process such a large number of data quickly and accurately.Structured data cannot be effectively managed using typical relational databases, which are extensively used in information management systems. NoSQL, a non-relational database management system for unstructured data, is a novel technology that was developed to handle unstructured data. Scalability is what drives NoSQL the most. One application of big data is in the field of medicine. Every person's data collection yields a significant amount of information quickly. Early detection, diagnosis, and the recommendation of efficient medications can all be achieved through the analysis of stored healthcare data through querying. The application must explicitly encrypt any sensitive data before writing it to the database in order to offer security. Additionally, joining operations are avoided while querying the NoSQL database MongoDB, resulting in effective data retrieval. NoSQL, MongoDB, Big Data, Security, Healthcare Record.
AI governance and human rights: Resetting the relationship
Authors: Jones Kate
Published: October 2022

Governments and companies are already deploying AI to assist in making decisions that can have major consequences for the lives of individual citizens and societies. AI offers far-reaching benefits for human development but also presents risks. These include, among others, further division between the privileged and the unprivileged; erosion of individual freedoms through surveillance; and the replacement of independent thought and judgement with automated control. Human rights are central to what it means to be human. They were drafted and agreed, with worldwide popular support, to define freedoms and entitlements that would allow every human being to live a life of liberty and dignity. AI, its systems and its processes have the potential to alter the human experience fundamentally. But many sets of AI governance principles produced by companies, governments, civil society and international organizations do not mention human rights at all. This is an error that requires urgent correction. This research paper aims to dispel myths about human rights; outline the principal importance of human rights for AI governance; and recommend actions that governments, organizations, companies and individuals can take to ensure that human rights are the foundation for AI governance in future.
International Arbitration by Diplomatic Means to Resolve Disputes Between the Parties
Authors: Alhashemi Azab Alaziz
Published: October 2022

Direct diplomatic negotiations are the most important and most common means to settle international disputes. Studies indicated that, historically states had felt a legal obligation to negotiate before resorting the use of force, even if that commitment does not exceed the formal framework. This concept played its role in the efforts made by jurists during the middle-age to determine the nature of war and the necessity to negotiate before everyone agreed to use the legal forces. The negotiation of subsequent countries was considered to be one of the necessary preconditions for the recognition of fair use of power. Even if it is clear that the negotiations are nothing more than a demonstration, it still remains necessary, without it the use of power is condemned. The present study aims to provide an analytical discussion on the peaceful means of settling international disputes. Specific focus is provided to the diplomatic means of dispute settlement, especially in the gulf countries. The effectiveness of diplomatic means of dispute settlement is further studied by analyzing the case of border issues held between Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The overall discussion indicated that the role of negotiations has increased, especially after the World War II. The group witnessed a new era characterized by the propagation of alliances in various fields and the complexity of international relations, intertwining and developing in the economic, political, military, cultural, social and other areas. This helped the negotiations to flourish as the central tool of diplomacy was described as a negotiation stage. With this in mind, all the principles that regulate relations between countries are reflected in the application of method of international dialogue.
