Mediating Mountains
Authors: Müller Eva-Maria , Quendler Christian
Published: April 2022

Mountains confront us in many guises. They visualize space and provide geopolitical orientations that address questions of historical, cultural, social, national, and individual identities. Mountains are subjects of philosophical reflections, environmental meditations, and ecocritical ontologies. They serve as a means of spiritual invigoration, scientific experimentation, medical therapy, and recreation. They are sources and resources of technological and artistic innovations, human and nonhuman exploitations. Mountain spaces are often borderlands, contested zones of imperial expansion, war, and migration. They are sites of tourism and industrialization, deposits of waste, and repositories of cultural memory; their forms are shaped and reshaped through processes of cultural and geological erosion. This polymorphous and fluid nature turns mountains into a dynamic medium that both reflects and grounds subjectivities. Mountains may also be conceived of as what Timothy Morton calls "hyperobjects" that affect the very ways we come to think about existence, earth, and society. This special issue sets out to examine the cultural and aesthetic malleability of mountains.
More than a Feeling
Authors: Tschachler Heinz
Published: April 2022

When in the early summer of 1805 Meriwether Lewis for the first time sights the great mountains of the American West, he merely reports "an august spectacle." The word "august" was not then an aesthetic category, nor did it usually describe visual contact with landscape. Categories used for these purposes were the picturesque and the sublime. Whereas there are numerous examples of the picturesque in the journals of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the sublime draws a blank. In my contribution, I will be offering several reasons for the absence of description in the sublime mode: (1) Like their contemporaries, Lewis and Clark held nature up to the yardstick of utility, calculating the agricultural potential of the land or the navigability of a river. (2) The Lewis and Clark expedition was a military expedition, sent out by President Jefferson not to stand in awe at sublime grandeur but to document a useful landscape. (3) Seeing mountains as sublime was essentially a matter of an individual imagination. The Corps of Discovery was a group, whose success depended on cooperation. Hence, the individual imagination must take a back seat. (4) The actual experience of hardship and adversity during the crossing of the Rockies would have obviated any description in the "grand style." (5) Finally, the Corps of Discovery was not even prepared to encounter the great mountains of the West, expecting instead gentle rolling hills that would enable an easy portage to the Columbia River and, if anything, call for picturesque description.
Mountains and Waters of No-Mind
Authors: Capelle Birgit
Published: April 2022

This article explores the epic poem Mountains and Rivers Without End (1996) by Gary Snyder and a Song/Chin dynasty Chinese landscape painting. I illustrate how the poem and the painting, together with Henry David Thoreau’s autobiographical narrative A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and Jack Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums (1958), form a complex web of intertextual and intermedial references. All four works, I argue, tell similar narratives of spiritual journey and paths through mountain and river landscapes; all four speak of moments of heightened awareness in the sense of Buddhist “no-mind” (Chinese: wu-shin; Japanese: mushin). I show how they converge in exhibiting ontologies of non-substantiality, emptiness, and becoming. Taking the philosophies of Zen Buddhism and Taoism as a theoretical frame, I argue that the American transcendentalist and Beat works poetically and narratively convey relational rather than substantialist views of Being and life. They depict the world as a dynamic and open field of tension between two non-oppositional forces from which we as subjects are not essentially separate in a dualistic way. I substantiate my argument by drawing on the French sinologist and philosopher François Jullien, who refers to the Chinese understanding of landscape (“mountains and waters”) in his critical treatment of (European) philosophy’s centuries-long subject-centered epistemology and substantialist “ontology of Being.”

Published: April 2022

Male prisoners are faced with a variety of unexpected situations and conditions while in correctional institutions. The sudden change experienced by prisoners has an impact on the Quality of Life (QoL) they have. However, research that addresses these factors systematically is not yet available. Therefore, this study wants to see what factors influence prisoners QoL while in prison. Method: This literature review uses a variety of articles and books obtained through ScienceDirect, EBSCO and PubMed health, published from January 2004 to September 2019, using the quality of the keywords of life, inmates, and male prison. Results: The literature states that the factors that influence QoL for male WBP include internal factors (loss of freedom, inappropriate living standards, changes in status and roles) and external factors (prison conditions, length of the detention period, and lack of family interaction). Conclusion: The knowledge of community nurses about the many factors that influence male QBL can make it easier to identify problems and provide nursing actions.

Published: April 2022

Setiap orang pasti memiliki pengalaman-pengalaman yang terjadi di masa lalunya entah pengalaman yang baik maupun pengalaman yang buruk, terkadang pengalaman buruk inilah yang kemudian menyebabkan dampak negatif bagi yang mengalaminya, sebagai contoh misalnya ketika kecil dibully oleh teman-temannya maka dampak dari ini seseorang akan merasa cemas dan takut ketika akan bersosialisasi terhadap teman-temannya karena yang mucul dipikirannya adalah masa lalunya dan takut akan terulang lagi. Fenomena-fenomena seperti ini yang kemudian menimbulkan gangguan stres pasca trauma atau disebut dengan Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD ini merupakan gangguan psikologis yang dialami oleh orang-orang yang pernah mengalami kejadian-kejadian yang buruk misalnya, pemerkosaan, pelecehan, bencana alam, pembullyan dll. Untuk menyembuhkan atau mengurangi gangguan tersebut perlu dilakukan terapi konseling maupun pengobatan. Secara umum terapi psikoanalisis adalah teknik menganalisis terhadap aktivitas bawah sadar manusia, psikoanalis juga merupakan pengetahuan psikologi yang menitikberatkan kepada faktor-faktor psikis yang membentuk perilaku seseorang dan pentingnya pengalaman-pengalaman pada masa kecil dalam membentuk perilaku ketika dewasa. Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh terapi psikoanalisis ini terhadap seseorang yang mengalami Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
The Tinjauan Undang – Undang Negara Indonesia dan Etika Bisnis dalam Hukum Islam terhadap Tren Transaksi Jual-Beli Online pada Shopee
Authors: Nurchabibah Reza
Published: April 2022

Industry 4.0 has shifted conventional buying and selling transactions into online buying and selling transactions with online shopping platforms such as Shopee. Online buying and selling transactions that occur at Shopee are regulated in the Electronic Information Technology Law (UU ITE) which guarantees that all parties are in good faith. Violation of the ITE Law will be subject to a maximum criminal sentence of six years and / or a maximum fine of one billion rupiah. Meanwhile, online buying and selling transactions at Shopee can also be viewed from the application of the five principles of Islamic business ethics in Islamic law, namely the principle of unity, balance, free will, responsibility, and ihsan / truth. Even so, the seller still often violates the principles of unity, balance, responsibility and ihsan / truth. The buyer also has a tendency to violate the principle of free will by blaming the seller for delays in the delivery of the goods. The courier party also violated the principle of free will because it did not fulfill the contract to estimate the delivery of goods as specified. Shopee has proven to be able to maintain the continuity of its business by applying Islamic business ethics based on maqashid sharia

Abstrak

Industri 4.0 telah menggeser transaksi jual-beli konvensional ke dalam transaksi jual-beli online dengan platform online shopping seperti Shopee. Transaksi jual-beli online yang terjadi pada Shopee telah diatur dalam Undang-Undang Informasi Teknologi Elektroni (UU ITE) yang menjamin seluruh pihak berada dalam itikad baik. Pelanggaran terhadap UU ITE akan dikenakan hukuman pidana paling lama enam tahun dan/atau paling banyak denda uang sebesar satu miliyar rupiah. Sementara itu, transaksi jual-beli online pada Shopee juga dapat ditinjau dari penerapan lima prinsip etika bisnis Islam dalam Hukum Islam, yakni prinsip kesatuan, keseimbangan, kehendak bebas, pertanggung jawaban, dan ihsan/kebenaran. Meskipun demikian, pihak penjual masih kerap melakukan pelanggaran pada prinsip kesatuan, keseimbangan, pertanggung jawaban, dan ihsan/kebenaran. Pihak pembeli juga memiliki tendensi untuk melakukan pelanggaran terhadap prinsip kehendak bebas dengan menyalahkan penjual atas keterlambatan pengiriman barang. Pihak kurir juga melakukan pelanggaran terhadap prinsip kehendak bebas karena tidak memenuhi kontrak estimasi pengiriman barang sesuai dengan yang ditentukan. Pihak Shopee terbukti mampu menjaga keberlangsungan bisnisnya dengan menerapkan etika bisnis Islam dengan berdasarkan pada maqashid syariah.

Authors: Bendung Shomsang Elvine
Published: April 2022

Introduction: It has been realized that children are being marginalized in one way or the other and it is important to call attention on the promotion and protection of the rights of children, in order to help them fit in society and for child survivors to reintegrate themselves as better individuals into societies.

Purpose: The purpose of this work is to address violations of children’s rights and the need for the protection and promotion of children.

Methodology: The qualitative methodology of research was used to gather information. This work was based on professional experience in the humanitarian field using methods such as observations, unstructured interviews with children aged 12 to 18 during facilitation sessions, working with children in child-friendly spaces and safe spaces for survivors of Gender-Based Violence. Selection criteria included children who possess the knowledge, abilities and personal attributes required for them to be able understand the questions directed towards. It also included children who have been affected by the current crisis in Cameroon.

Findings: It was realized that children need to be safeguarded and protected against all forms of harm or violence. Children especially in conflict zones tend to be more exposed to violations of human rights than those children who are located in areas which are not affected by conflict. Some of the human rights violations experienced by these children include physical violence/torture, emotional/psychological violence due to traumatic experiences such as rape, and economic violence.

Unique Contribution to theory and Practice: In theory, this piece of work is useful to the academic as it contributes to the existing body of literature or knowledge. In practice, it identifies child protection concerns and addresses the need to protect them. As concerns policy recommendation, the main target was institutional frameworks such as humanitarian organizations, policymakers and the community, considering they play a vital role in contributing to children’s welfare. To the institutions, collaboration is encouraged both at the national and international levels. This would make it easier for child protection concerns to be identified and addressed. Acceptance is vital in every community, especially to survivors and serves as a good breeding ground for children’s welfare and wellbeing.

IoT is a group of a huge number of interrelated networks including Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). IoT makes use of speedily developing devices and technologies. A large number of unlimited interconnections of numerous technologies in IoT makes privacy and safety of data as a matter of concern. WSN makes use of Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) for the purpose of construction of sensor networks that are energy-efficient. These networks are likely to a huge number of attacks including HELLO flood attack. This paper presents a novel protocol named CS-LEACH (Cyclic Secure LEACH) for securing cluster head from Hello flood attack as an extension to LEACH protocol. CS-LEACH makes use a unique Cyclic number, an exclusive ID and RBG color cube numbers for each sensor node so as to authenticate one of the nodes as CH. The CS-LEACH is executed by making use of NS2 simulator for the purpose of proving its efficiency.
Mobile Cloud Computing: Using Firebase Auth
Authors: Kaur Ishpreet
Published: April 2022

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is the combination of Mobile Computing and Cloud Computing. Mobile Cloud Computing can be used on different types of devices. It is not meant for a fixed platform which means applications created using MCC do not need a permanent storage area in devices. Storage and processing of data are done in the cloud, so it requires good internet connectivity and provides great support for online activities. This paper provides a case study of a video conferencing app known as Virtual Training Room (VTR). VTR uses Firebase Authentication which is an example of MCC. We will study the functioning of Firebase Auth. We will get to know about the advantages, challenges, and future scope of Firebase Auth. Code for the app is monitored and analysed through the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Jetpack Libraries are used to reduce the complexity of the code and Jitsi SDK is used for the calling purpose.
Islands, currents, eddies, fronts... and benthic foraminifera: Controls on neritic distributions off Trinidad
Authors: Wilson Brent , Hayek Lee-Ann
Published: April 2022

The islandmass of Trinidad perturbs the northwestward passage of the Guiana Current, inducing a wake and a stationary eddy off the northwest coast, in the North Coast Marine Area (NCMA). The oceanography is further complicated by the hypoycnal Orinoco Plume. Within the plume, Orinoco-derived outflow to the west and exiting Dragonâ€™s Mouth abuts Amazon-derived water to the east along a front that trends NW from the island, east of the wake. Both the front and the eddy are reflected in 1958 maps of total (live + dead) foraminiferal fauna, Uvigerina parvula being more abundant (a) near the front, where convergent flow causes a high nutrient flux despite strong current action, and (b) below the eddy. The biofacies in nineteen seafloor sediment samples taken in 2010 north of the eddy but within the NCMA likewise show the frontâ€™s influence. A Cibicidoides norcomarensis n. sp. biofacies, recognized from cluster analysis, is developed to the west, beneath sluggishly flowing water within the wake. To the east and towards the front is developed a U. parvula biofacies. This reflects a higher nutrient flux along the front, despite its being within an area of stronger current action. Discriminant analysis distinguished these biofacies using only four species. Hoeglundina elegans provided the greatest negative separation and was more abundant in the C. nornocmarensis biofacies, while Eponides regularis, Pullenia subcarinata and Lenticulina submamilligera gave approximately equal positive separation. Diversity, measured using mean Shannonâ€™s H, did not differ between the biofacies. There were, however, significant differences between the biofacies in mean dominance and in the mean of a benthic foraminiferal productivity index (BFPI), calculated from the sum of Bolivina + Bulimina +Uvigerina. The results presented here suggest that caution be taken when using Cibicidoides spp. and Uvigerina spp. to discern areas of higher current action and higher nutrient flux respectively at neritic depths in the vicinity of offshore fronts, as we found U. parvula within a higher flux but stronger current area than Cibicidoides norcomarensis.

The halimedaceans have been identified by thin section analysis of limestones from the middleMiocene (Serravallian) of the Butler Bay Section, Little Andaman Island (Hut Bay), India. All these forms are reported herein for the first time from the Miocene of the northern Indian Ocean. The present record is an important addition to the Halimeda database from this part of the world because specifically from the Cenozoic sediments halimedaceans are poorly known throughout the world. Present day halimedaceans are significant contributors of the carbonate mass of tropical reefs in different parts of the world and they might have played amajor role in maintaining the carbon budget in the middle Miocene.

Foraminifera (Rhizaria) and testate amoebae (Rhizaria and Amoebozoa) are single-celled organisms with marine and continental affinities. They are regarded as valuable bioindicators in transitional areas such as tidal and salt marshes and have been widely used for (paleo)-environmental characterization. Along-lasting debate regularly occurs on the use of living vs. dead fauna to accurately represent modern environments. Moreover, environmentally based benthic foraminiferal and testate amoebaean studies need a reliable sampling strategy to capture the spatial variability, particularly in transitional environments where patchiness complicates the data interpretations. The objective of the present study is therefore to define the minimum required number of replicates for capturing the variability of either living (environment) or dead (paleoenvironment) benthic foraminifera and testate amoebae. To address this question, 49 samples (i.e., replicates) were selected from a square meter zone in the tidal flat-salt marsh transitional zone along the Canche Estuary (Northern France). The range of faunal spatial variability was measured using geostatistical tools. The minimal number of samples for capturing the patchiness was determined using bootstrap resampling procedure. We provide evidence that for both living and dead fauna more than 26 samples (and even higher for some species) are needed to correctly evaluate the patchiness. Indeed, the living and dead fauna do not follow spatial homogenous trends, and this might bias paleoenvironmental interpretations. The commonly-suggested number of three replicates might not be enough to characterize the fauna in such heterogeneous environments.

Introdução: A criptococose é uma infecção oportunista causada pela inalação de leveduras pertencentes ao gênero Cryptococcus, com cerca de 181.000 mortes anualmente e, com taxas de mortalidade de 100% se as infecções não forem tratadas. Embora a grande maioria dos pacientes infectados com criptococose disseminada sejam os pacientes imunocomprometidos, C. neoformans e C. gattii podem também causar doença em hospedeiros aparentemente saudáveis. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi fazer um levantamento da criptococose em pacientes imunocompetentes nos últimos anos. Material e métodos: Foi realizado uma revisão da literatura e para o levantamento dos dados foram selecionados artigos no banco de dados US National Library of Medicine (PubMed). Como estratégia de busca, foi adotada uma pesquisa com base nas palavras-chave: cryptococcosis, Cryptococcus, immunocompetent e cryptococcal meningitis. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos originais publicados no período de 2002 a 2022 e os critérios de exclusão: revisões de literatura e relato de casos. Foram obtidos 112 artigos. Destes, 31 artigos se enquadraram nos critérios de inclusão propostos. Resultados: Como resultado e ao contrário do que se esperava, a espécie C. neoformans (64,5%) foi a mais citada como causadora de criptococose em pacientes imunocompetentes, seguida da espécie C. gattii (35,5%). A maioria dos indivíduos acometidos eram do sexo masculino (67,7%) e adultos (90,3%). Cefaleia, febre e náuseas eram os sinais e sintomas mais relatados. Por fim, a meningite era a principal forma de acometimento nos pacientes imunocompetentes (87,1%). A fisiopatologia da meningite criptocócica nesses pacientes ainda não é totalmente compreendida, mas a infecção parece resultar de uma resposta imune mal adaptada à exposição criptocócica. A fim de que o tratamento antifúngico seja iniciado o mais rápido possível, é de suma importância que médicos permaneçam vigilantes e suspeitem da infecção por Cryptococcus spp. também em indivíduos imunocompetentes. Conclusão: Portanto, conclui-se que a criptococose é um importante problema de saúde pública e torna-se necessário disseminar a informação que a meningite criptocócica também atinge pacientes imunocompetentes com mais frequência do que se pode imaginar.

Introdução: A febre de Lassa (FL) é uma infecção hemorrágica causada por um Mammarenavirus – o LASV – vírus de RNA de fita simples da família Arenaviridae. O principal reservatório do LASV é o camundongo Mastomys natalensis, comum no continente africano. A maioria dos casos são assintomáticos, porém a FL pode manifestar-se clinicamente através de febre, mal-estar, tosse, dor no peito, cólicas abdominais, vômitos, diarreia e dor de garganta. Casos graves evoluem com manifestações hemorrágicas e elevada taxa de mortalidade. A transmissão da infecção pode ocorrer por meio do contato com urina, fezes ou saliva do roedor ou mediante contato direto com fluidos corporais de indivíduos infectados ou superfícies contaminadas. Objetivo: Realizar uma levantamento bibliográfico acerca da epidemiologia da febre de Lassa e sua possível capacidade de disseminação global. Métodos: Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica nas bases de dados MEDLINE e EMBASE, por meio dos descritores “lassa fever” e “epidemiology”, combinados pelo operador booleano AND. A partir de critérios de inclusão e exclusão pré-estabelecidos, foram selecionados seis artigos para compor este trabalho. Resultados: A FL se apresenta como uma doença endêmica na África Ocidental, com comportamento sazonal, tendo incremento de casos no início e no final do período chuvoso. O primeiro caso de FL foi relatado na Nigéria na década de 1960 causando, desde então, vários surtos nesse país e em países adjacentes, com taxas de mortalidade de até 50%. Contudo, a infecção já foi descrita fora da área endêmica, tendo sido relatados pelo menos 35 casos exportados para países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Alemanha e Japão, no período de 1969 a 2020, o que tem sido associado às atividades humanas de comércio e migração. Até o momento, apenas um caso de transmissão autóctone em área indene foi relatado em consequência de casos importados da África Ocidental. Conclusão: A febre de Lassa apresenta-se como uma doença endêmica no continente africano, porém com capacidade disseminativa para outras regiões do globo, o que torna necessário que haja maior vigilância epidemiológica para reconhecimento dos casos, especialmente os assintomáticos, que representam a maioria dos acometidos, visto que a doença pode ser transmitida entre indivíduos infectados.

Introdução: A resistência bacteriana aos antibióticos carbapenêmicos corresponde atualmente a uma grande preocupação para a saúde pública, por estar associada a uma maior taxa de mortalidade e morbidade. A detecção precoce da resistência bacteriana a estes antibióticos diminui o tempo de hospitalização bem como complicações decorrentes de infecções. A associação de técnicas de biologia molecular e microbiologia tem potencial para agilizar e qualificar o diagnóstico clínico de resistência. Objetivo: O objetivo do presente estudo foi estabelecer primers para Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) que detectem as variantes mais prevalentes dos genes blaKPC, blaNDM, blaOXA e blaVIM. Material e métodos: Para tal, fizemos uma busca pelos genes no NCBI procurando sequências de nucleotídeos que pudessem ser usadas como primers, considerando os seguintes aspectos: tamanho entre 18-25 pares de base (pb), conteúdo G-C entre 40 e 60%, temperatura de Melting entre 58ºC e 60ºC, produto amplificado com cerca de 500-1000pb. Além disso, buscamos evitar complementaridade entre os primers. Utilizamos o software Primer 3 Plus seguindo as condições estipuladas acima, e verificamos os oligonucleotídeos escolhidos na ferramenta NetPrimer. Resultados: A partir dos resultados obtidos, utilizamos a ferramenta BLAST do NCBI para verificar as variantes de cada gene de resistência que poderiam ser amplificadas a partir dos primers desenhados. Conclusão: Concluímos que é possível identificar 88 variantes blaKPC (Primer Forward: 5’CAGCTCATTCAAGGGCTTTC’3 / Primer Reverse: 5’TATGGCACGGCAAATGACTA’3, temperatura anelamento: 50ºC), 36 blaNDM (Primer Forward: 5’CCAGCAAATGGAAACTGGC3’/ Primer Reverse: 5’ATCACGATCATGCGTGCCT3’3 temperatura anelamento: 66ºC), 41 blaOXA (Primer Forward: 5’ATTCCCAATAGCTTGATCGC’3/ Primer Reverse: 5’TGGTGGGTCGGTTGGGTT’3 temperatura anelamento: 51ºC) e 74 blaVIM (Primer Forward: 5’TGTCCGTGATGGTGATGAGT’3 / Primer Reverse: 5’GTGCTTCCGGGTAGTGTTGT’3 temperatura anelamento: 55ºC). Os primers foram testados a partir de culturas bacterianas de isolados clínicos que possuíam os genes de resistência. Para verificar sua especificidade utilizamos uma Klebsiella spp. como controle negativo. A aplicação da biologia molecular junto à microbiologia permitiu diferenciar bactérias resistentes e não-resistentes à carbapenêmicos com precisão. Além disso, os primers desenhados se mostraram específicos para cada um dos genes e suas variantes correspondentes, permitindo discriminar entre os tipos de resistência. Essas metodologias podem potencialmente facilitar a prescrição e aumentar a assertividade de medicamentos.
