Exploring expectations of Iranian audiences in terms of consecutive interpreting: A reception study
Authors: Eftekhar Elnaz , Ferdowsi Sima , Baniasad Azad Somayeh
Published: July 2024

Media interpreting is becoming increasingly important due to the rise of international relations, with sport media interviews interpreted consecutively gaining more attention. As these interviews are aimed at ordinary audiences, it is crucial to understand the audience’s needs and expectations of optimal consecutive interpreting (CI). However, there has been limited research on interpreting recipients in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the reception of English-Persian sport media interpreting in consecutive mode among ordinary audiences and trainee interpreters as professional viewers. It focused on three main questions: the first and second ones investigated the expectancy norms of optimal consecutive sport interpreting among ordinary audiences and trainee interpreters, and the third question compared these norms between the two groups. To this aim, a mixed-methods approach and triangulated research design that favored a participant-oriented study was employed. A researcher-made questionnaire and three focus group meetings were held in order to gather the required data. Drawing upon both the descriptive statistics of the gathered data and insights from existing literature, six distinct components have been identified. The results in both groups, demonstrated high scores on expectations related to the ‘fluency of delivery’; however, the dimensions of ‘pleasant voice’ and ‘sense consistency with the original message’ obtained the lowest scores, respectively. Considering the dimension ‘required skills’, there was a significant difference between the two groups. The findings shed light on the audiences’ expectations and needs of CI in the context of Iran.
Call them by their names: sexualidad, homoerotismo y traducción audiovisual
Authors: Villanueva-Jordán Iván
Published: July 2024

En el presente artículo se analiza la traducción del homoerotismo mediante el doblaje. El estudio parte del supuesto de que la teleficción contemporánea integra distintas dimensiones de la sexualidad como parte de la narrativa y la construcción de los personajes. El caso de estudio es Looking, una serie de drama y comedia producida por HBO y transmitida originalmente entre 2014 y 2016. Esta serie de televisión es un caso relevante para identificar cómo la interacción entre recursos semióticos visuales y lingüísticos son fundamentales para sostener el relato. El objetivo del estudio es doble: identificar las interacciones semióticas entre los modos visuales y el código lingüístico en escenas que involucran conversaciones sexuales o intimidad entre personajes masculinos en Looking; y contrastar cómo las traducciones para el doblaje al español neutro (para América Latina) y al español peninsular contribuyeron o transformaron la representación del deseo entre hombres. Los hallazgos se analizan en el contexto de los estudios de traducción cuir y de género, así como en la teoría de los afectos. Un argumento general derivado del estudio es que la neutralidad y el tabú conllevan componentes prescriptivos que deben cuestionarse para comprender cómo circulan actualmente los imaginarios sexuales mediante los medios y la traducción.
Tradução, insultos e streaming: um estudo de caso
Authors: Campos Giovana Cordeiro
Published: July 2024

Partindo do pressuposto de que elementos externos à tradução modelam o processo tradutório (Even-Zohar, 1978, 1979), este trabalho aborda a tradução audiovisual (TAV) e tem como foco a tradução para legendagem, comparando a tradução do filme Cobra (1986), divulgada em DVD (cópia remasterizada de 2005), com a tradução disponibilizada na plataforma de streaming Amazon Prime, acessada em 2023. Para efeitos de análise, as legendas foram também comparadas com a versão dublada, a qual é a mesma nas duas mídias: DVD e a referida plataforma de streaming. Discute-se o funcionamento das plataformas de streaming bem como parte das regras correntemente usadas pela plataforma Netflix, ainda considerada a líder de mercado e uma divulgadora legitimada de regras tradutórias a partir de seus guias de estilo. O estudo de caso tem como centro a análise de insultos presentes no texto de partida e traduzidos para o português nas duas mídias. Observam-se níveis de “suavização” do tom dos insultos nas legendas das duas mídias, bem como na versão dublada.
Doppiare parole tabù: insulti e imprecazioni nella serie tv Lupin
Authors: Lupetti Elisa
Published: July 2024

L’articolo si pone come obiettivo l’analisi delle battute filmiche di carattere conflittuale contenute nella terza stagione di Lupin, serie televisiva di successo tanto in Francia quanto in Italia e attualmente disponibile sulla piattaforma Netflix. In particolare, nelle pagine che seguono, ci concentreremo sulle espressioni proprie del linguaggio tabù, in un’ottica contrastiva francese-italiano, tenendo conto di quanto viene restituito nel doppiaggio dalla lingua d’origine a quella d’arrivo. In questo senso, riprendendo le categorizzazioni proposte nella letteratura sull’impoliteness, sul turpiloquio e sul linguaggio conflittuale, e consapevoli dell’artificiosità della conversazione cinematografica, intendiamo sistematizzare termini ad alta frequenza d’uso nella lingua francese colloquiale e riproposti allo schermo, come putain, merde et foutre, senza tralasciare insulti meno forti dal punto di vista perlocutorio, ma che si ritrovano spesso all’interno di interazioni quotidiane autentiche. Concluderà il contributo una breve riflessione sul concetto di tolleranza della violenza verbale, da leggersi in stretta connessione con la cultura d’appartenenza.
A eficácia do tratamento endodôntico na redução da contaminação e análise microbiológica do conteúdo intrarradicular

Published: July 2024

The pulp in its normal state is free from contamination and performs both nutritive and sensory functions. However, when affected by aggressive agents such as caries, it triggers an infectious process that can lead to necrosis. Thus, endodontic intervention becomes necessary for disinfection and reduction of contamination, considering that pathogenic microbiota is directly related to pulpal and periradicular pathologies. In this regard, due to the anatomical variations of the root canal system, the mechanical action of files alone is not sufficient to achieve effective decontamination. Therefore, the use of auxiliary chemical substances such as 2% chlorhexidine gel and 17% EDTA is required. In view of this, the aim of this study was to demonstrate the reduction of contamination in the root canal system after endodontic treatment of tooth number 12, through laboratory and radiographic analyses, as well as to identify various bacterial groups by performing microbiological tests such as Gram staining, 3% KOH, and Catalase tests. The results showed that in addition to a reduction in contamination following endodontic therapy, the presence of gram-negative, gram-positive, and catalase-positive bacteria was observed.

Published: July 2024

All-ceramic restorations are being widely used for rehabilitation of anterior teeth, and the search for a less invasive removal treatment that maintains the structures and less wear has been a major challenge. Studies on the use of laser have gained more evidence. This study aims to describe, through a bibliographic survey, the method of removing laminates and veneers, presenting the method using the laser. In addition to highlighting its indications, mechanisms and pointing out advantages and disadvantages. For this, articles in the PubMed database were consulted. Some factors such as fracture, dissatisfaction with the color, marginal failure and aesthetic reasons make it necessary to change these patient's ceramics. Although the more conventional method of removal is highly successful, rotary instruments can cause scratching and overheating of the enamel, or a high level of wear. An important result is that the use of laser is considered the most conservative method due to the fact of its good absorption of water and OH groups in hydroxyapatite, this laser is useful in the removal of dental hard tissues. With this, the tooth structure is preserved, in addition to better comfort for the patient and being a less time-consuming procedure

Published: July 2024

Femoral fractures in veterinary medicine correspond to approximately 25% of the appendicular fractures, and occur mainly in the diaphysis and distal epiphysis. Despite the existence of various types of fasteners and implants for the surgical fixation of fractures, the selection is not an obvious or standardized option. There is no perfect method and all alternatives have advantages, disadvantages and risks. In view problems that slow the healing process and impair functional return of the member, it is proposed to develop a model of orthopedic implant that can promote greater stability in the fracture, help the biomechanics of the member, promote the early return of the member function, and thus minimize postoperatively failures. Three models of bone implants, made of stainless steel and shaped as clamps were proposed. For the first model (B1) an orthopedic plate with 7.0cm long and six holes, secured to a flexible screen with holes of 1.0 mm diameter and 3.0 x 4.0 cm in length and width was used. However the model B1 was unwieldy because of the rigidity of the plate. The second model B2, with 8.0 cm in length, was made with three cranial and caudal half circles with a 1.0 cm space between the rings coupled with a hinge. The B2 model proved to be robust, heavy and with coarse dimensions. The latest proposal was the B3 model, made entirely of non -malleable perforated screen, thinner than the other ones, with rings attached to a delicate cuff. The diameter formed at the junction of the semicircular parts varies from 1.2 to 1.5 cm, according to the bone size. The B3 implant, was visibly more delicate and mild, apparently is easily handled, engaging around the bone and obeying the anatomical contours. Finally, it consists of durable material, suggesting that it is able to withstand the primary forces that act on bone

Authors: De Almeida Telles Ana Júlia , Birchler Moysés Guilherme , dos Santos Bandeira Thais Carolina , dos Santos de Paula Kiani , Caus Pereira Alves Rúbia
Published: July 2024

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease in Brazil, known for its various systemic complications, including alterations in the immune response, chronic inflammation, and delayed wound healing. In parallel, apical periodontitis (AP) is a progressive condition affecting the tissues around the root of the tooth, primarily triggered by bacterial infections of the pulp tissue. Twenty-four of the most cited articles between 2013 and 2023 were selected through searches on Web of Science and PubMed, addressing the bidirectional association between periodontitis and diabetes, encompassing all types of studies, with at least 15 citations discussing different aspects of this relationship and providing evidence. Chronic inflammation in DM can compromise tissue repair and increase the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, contributing to the progression of AP. Additionally, AP can influence serum levels of triglycerides and creatinine, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and renal diseases in DM patients. The dysregulated immune response observed in patients with DM and AP can exacerbate inflammation and tissue damage. In summary, DM influences AP by increasing levels of triglycerides, inflammatory cells, creatinine, and pro-inflammatory cytokines, while decreasing macrophage growth factors, resulting in compromised immune response and delayed wound healing. However, further research is needed to fully elucidate this complex interaction

Published: July 2024

Objective: Answer the question: Does the digital workflow optimize the treatment of dentists when compared to the conventional workflow? Materials and methods: The searches took place in three databases: Cochrane, Scielo, and Pubmed. Three reviewers performed the selection, data extraction, and quality and risk of bias assessments independently. The initial search identified 7858 articles, of which 31 were initially included, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After reading these studies, 16 articles were excluded, totaling 15 articles included. Results: Most authors point out that digital flow reduced the clinical time compared to the conventional one, in addition to the fact that most of the included articles used scanning as a technology, emphasizing better recording of details. As a counterpoint, they consider the commercial value to be more expensive. In terms of the risk of bias, the factors that had the highest score were the absence of sample calculation and information on operator calibration.Conclusion: Such technologies improve the clinical routine of the dental surgeon; the main technologies reported were scanners, printers, and milling machines, indicating that this area is of great scientific and commercial interest; however, it is a very young area in dentistry that needs more research.

A COMPREENSÃO DA LINGUAGEM MATEMÁTICA NAS ATIVIDADES DE SALA DE AULA, COMO RECURSO PARA MELHORAR A APRENDIZAGEM A PARTIR DA TEORIA DA REPRESENTAÇÃO SEMIÓTICA
Authors: Freitas Handus Silva , Mendes Celeste
Published: July 2024

This article brings to light the discussion about the difficulty in understanding mathematical language by elementary school students, as a learning resource for success in activities and for the appropriation of knowledge based on the concept of semiotic review presented by Raymond Duval. The research aims to investigate the importance of understanding mathematical language in classroom activities, as a resource to improve learning based on the theory of semiotic representation. One of the major problems highlighted in elementary education concerns the difficulties in learning Mathematics, many of them due to a lack of assimilation on the part of students of the formulas and symbols that make up their language, considering the semiotic system, the register of representation, as an important factor in meeting the functions related to cognition from the representation and conversion of this language. In this sense, the investigation contributes to discussions related to the difficulties presented by students in relation to understanding mathematical language and success in carrying out activities corresponding to the content proposed by the curriculum syllabus for elementary education. This is a literature review using an exploratory descriptive methodology, with a qualitative approach related to the topic, based on research carried out on the main scientific research sites such as Google Scholar and SciElo. Mathematical language comprises a process of translation or conversion from natural language to a formalized language, specific to that discipline. This characteristic constitutes, in many cases, obstacles to the process of appropriating concepts necessary for learning.

Published: July 2024

Emerging infectious diseases pose significant global health challenges, necessitating the development of innovative vaccines and immunization strategies. This review explores the advancements in vaccine technology and their potential to address diseases such as COVID-19, Zika, and Ebola. Traditional vaccine development methods, while effective, often require extensive timeframes, which can hinder rapid response to outbreaks. Recent innovations, including mRNA vaccines, viral vector vaccines, and protein subunit vaccines, have demonstrated the ability to accelerate development and enhance efficacy. mRNA vaccines, in particular, have revolutionized the field by enabling rapid design and production, as evidenced by their success against COVID-19. Viral vector vaccines, utilizing modified viruses to deliver antigens, have shown promise in eliciting robust immune responses. Protein subunit vaccines, which use specific antigens to stimulate immunity, offer a targeted approach with potentially fewer side effects. Additionally, advances in adjuvant technology and delivery systems have improved vaccine stability and immune response. The integration of genomic and bioinformatics tools has further streamlined the identification of novel antigens and the design of effective vaccines. Global collaboration and funding are crucial in supporting these innovations and ensuring equitable access to vaccines, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Public health strategies must prioritize vaccine acceptance and distribution, addressing vaccine hesitancy and logistical challenges. This review underscores the importance of continued investment in vaccine research and development, highlighting the transformative potential of emerging immunization technologies in safeguarding global health against future epidemics and pandemics. By leveraging these innovations, the global community can enhance preparedness and response to emerging infectious diseases, ultimately reducing their impact on public health.

Bariatrik cerrahilerde intraoperatif sıvı yönetimi için açık bir kılavuz bulunmamaktadır. Hedefe yönelik sıvı tedavileri abdominal cerrahi geçiren hastaların prognozlarını iyileştirmektedir. Bu amaçla farklı yöntemler kullanılarak sıvı yönetim protokolleri uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada laparoskopik sleeve gastrektomi geçiren hastalarda Pleth Variability Index (PVI) kullanılarak sıvı tedavisi uygulamasının perioperatif hemodinami ve doku perfüzyonuna etkisi araştırılmıştır.
Bu çalışmaya laparaskopi sleeve gastrektomi geçirmiş 60 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastalar PVI kontrollü sıvı tedavisi (Grup I) ve standart sıvı tedavisi (Grup II) uygulananlar olarak ikiye ayrılmıştır. Grup I’e genel anestezi indüksiyonu sonrası 500 mL kristalloid bolus infüzyonu takiben 2 mL/kg/sa kristalloid uygulanmış, PVI > %14 durumunda 250 mL kolloid uygulanmıştır. Grup II’de indüksiyon sonrası 500 mL kristalloid bolus infüzyonu takiben 4-8 mL/kg/sa kristalloid uygulanmıştır. Ortalama arteriyel basınç < 65 mmHg durumunda norepinefrin uygulanmıştır. Perioperatif laktat düzeyleri ve hemodinamik veri kayıtları incelenmiştir.
Grup I’de intraoperatif olarak uygulanan kristalloid hacmi belirgin derecede düşük bulunmuştur. Grup I’de intraoperatif 60. Dk ve postoperatif 48. Saatte ölçülen laktat düzeyleri anlamlı derecede düşük bulunmuştur.
PVI kontrollü hedefe yönelik sıvı tedavileri intraoperatif dönemde uygulanan sıvı hacmini azaltıp, intraoperatif ve postoperatif laktat düzeylerini azaltmaktadır.
Determinants of Inorganic Fertilizer Use by Smallholder Rice Farmers in Mbeya and Morogoro Regions of Tanzania
Authors: Mussa Juma , Msuya Elibariki , Longo Joseph
Published: July 2024

This study identifies factors that influence smallholder rice farmers to adopt or not adopt inorganic fertilizer. This study employed a cross-sectional design. This study was guided by the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) in determining the factors that influence the use of inorganic fertilizer among smallholder farmers. The data was collected using multistage sampling, a two-stage design. To do this, secondary data from the National Sample Census of Agriculture (NSCA) survey of 2019–20 are used to model participation and intensity of use of inorganic fertilizer as separate decisions. The results showed that factors such as farm income, membership in the farmer group, and irrigation influence both participation and intensity of inorganic fertilizer use. Moreover, factors such as distance to the homestead, distance to the nearest road, and improved seed use influence participation decisions, while only extension advice and the price of inorganic fertilizer affect the intensity of inorganic fertilizer use. Furthermore, the study found regional differences in the key factors that influence inorganic fertilizer use. The study recommends various strategies for encouraging and increasing the use of inorganic fertilizer among smallholder rice farmers in Tanzania. These include developments to the rural road network, a decrease in the cost of inorganic fertilizer, encouraging membership in farmer groups, and strengthening the existing extension system. In addition, the designed intervention should take into consideration the regional differences that exist in the regions; thus, policies to increase inorganic fertilizer use might differ among regions. Furthermore, the intervention should account for the regional disparities that exist. Consequently, strategies aimed at promoting the use of inorganic fertilizers may vary among regions.
A Bias Correction Scheme for FY-3E/ HIRAS-II Observation Data Assimilation
Authors: Chen Hongtao , Guan Li
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Meteorological satellite data have been extensively utilized in global numerical weather prediction systems and have a positive impact to improve forecast accuracy. In order to correctly assimilate satellite radiance observations in data assimilation systems, the systematic observation biases must be corrected to conform to a Gaussian normal distribution with a mean of 0. By selecting appropriate air-mass predictors through correlation assessment, a two-step bias correction scheme (namely the scan-angle bias correction and the air-mass bias correction) is established in this paper based on radiation observations of FY-3E/ HIRAS-II from 1 to 31 January 2023. The results indicate that FY-3E/HIRAS-II O-B (observation-simulation) bias exhibits scanning angle bias dependence from nadir to limb field of view. Statistics have found that this scanning angle bias does not depend on latitude band. After scan-angle bias correction using statistical scan-angle correction coefficients, the dependence of the O-B biases on the scan angle can be eliminated. The second step is to perform air-mass correction. Our correction scheme is compared with the air-mass bias correction scheme in NCEP-GSI. Although the scan angle influence is also considered in NECP-GSI scheme, it does not account for the water vapor effect in the atmosphere. Consequently, the correction effect is not good for channels with lower peak height of weighting function, resulting in a slightly residual positive bias after correction. The combination of air-mass predictors (model surface skin temperature, model total column water vapor, thickness of 1000–300 hPa, and thickness of 200–50 hPa) selected through importance assessment in this study effectively eliminates the air-mass biases. The systematic biases between observed brightness temperature and background simulated brightness temperature from background atmospheric field for all HIRAS-II channels significantly decrease after bias correction, and the bias distribution essentially follows a Gaussian normal distribution with a mean of 0. The bias correction scheme has a significant improvement for the analysis at upper air and near surface.
No increase is detected and modeled for the seasonal cycle amplitude of δ13C of atmospheric carbon dioxide
Authors: Joos Fortunat , Lienert Sebastian , Zaehle Sönke
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Measurements of the seasonal cycle of δ13C(CO2) provide information on the global carbon cycle and the regulation of carbon and water fluxes by leaf stomatal openings on ecosystem and decadal scales. Land biosphere carbon exchange is the primary driver of δ13C(CO2) seasonality in the Northern Hemisphere. We use isotope-enabled simulations of the Bern3D-LPX Earth System Model of Intermediate Complexity and fossil fuel emission estimates with a model of atmospheric transport to simulate local atmospheric δ13C(CO2). Unlike the observed growth of the seasonal amplitude of CO2 at northern sites, no significant temporal trend in the seasonal amplitude of δ13C(CO2) is detected at most sites, consistent with the insignificant model trends. Comparing the preindustrial and modern periods, the modeled small amplitude changes at northern sites are linked to the near-equal increase of background atmospheric CO2 and the seasonal signal of the net atmosphere-land δ13C flux in the northern extratropical region, with no long-term temporal changes in the isotopic fractionation by C3 plants. The good data-model agreement in the seasonal amplitude of δ13C(CO2) and its decadal trend provides implicit support for the regulation of stomatal conductance by C3 plants towards intrinsic water use efficiency to grow proportionally to atmospheric CO2 over recent decades. Disequilibrium fluxes contribute little to the seasonal amplitude of the net land isotope flux north of 40° N but contribute near-equally to the isotopic flux associated with growing season net carbon uptake in tropical and Southern Hemisphere ecosystems, pointing to the importance of monitoring δ13C(CO2) over these ecosystems. We propose to apply seasonally-resolved δ13C(CO2) observations as a novel constraint for land biosphere models and underlying processes for improved projections of the anthropogenic carbon sink.

Abstract. Brown carbon (BrC) is a fraction of Organic Aerosols (OA) that absorbs radiation in the ultraviolet and short visible wavelengths. Its contribution to radiative forcing is uncertain due to limited knowledge of its imaginary refractive index (k ). This study investigates the variability of k for OA from wildfires, residential, shipping, and traffic emission sources over Europe. The MONARCH atmospheric chemistry model simulated OA concentrations and source contributions, feeding an offline optical tool to constrain k values at 370 nm. The model was evaluated against OA mass concentrations from Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitors (ACSM) and filter sample measurements, and aerosol light absorption measurements at 370 nm derived from AethalometerTM from 12 sites across Europe. Results show that MONARCH captures the OA temporal variability across environments (regional, suburban and urban background). Residential emissions are a major OA source in colder months, while secondary organic aerosols (SOA) dominate in warmer periods. Traffic is a minor primary OA contributor. Biomass and coal combustion significantly influence OA absorption, with shipping emissions also notable near harbors. Optimizing k values at 370 nm revealed significant variability in OA light absorption, influenced by emission sources and environmental conditions. Derived k values for biomass burning (0.03 to 0.13), residential (0.008 to 0.13), shipping (0.005 to 0.08), and traffic (0.005 to 0.07) sources improved model representation of OA absorption compared to a constant k. Introducing such emission source-specific constraints is an innovative approach to enhance OA absorption in atmospheric models.
The daughter–parent plot: a tool for analyzing thermochronological data
Authors: Härtel Birk , Enkelmann Eva
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Data plots of daughter against parent concentration (D–P plots) are a potential tool for analyzing low-temperature thermochronology, similar to isochron plots in radioisotopic geochronology. Their purposes are to visualize the main term of the radiometric age equation – the daughter–parent ratio – and to inspect the daughter–parent relationship for anomalies indicating influences of geological processes or analytical bias. The main advantages of the D–P plot over other data analysis tools are (1) its ability to detect systematic offsets in D and P concentrations, (2) its unambiguous representation of radiation-damage-dependent daughter retention, and (3) the possibility to analyze potential age outliers. Despite these benefits, the D–P plot is currently not used for analyzing low-temperature thermochronology data, e.g., from fission-track, (U–Th) / He, or zircon Raman dating. We present a simple, decision-tree-based classification for daughter–parent relationships based on the D–P plot that places a dataset into one of seven classes: linear relationship with zero intercept, cluster, linear relationship with systematic offset, nonlinear relationship, several age populations, scattered data, and inverse relationship. Assigning a class to a dataset enables choosing further data analysis steps and how to report a sample age, e.g., as a pooled, central, or isochron age or a range of ages. This classification scheme aims at facilitating thermochronological data analysis and making decisions more transparent. We demonstrate the proposed procedure by analyzing published datasets from a variety of geological settings and thermochronometers and introduce Incaplot, which is graphical user interface software that we developed to facilitate D–P plotting of thermochronology data.
New explicit formulae for the settling speed of prolate spheroids in the atmosphere: theoretical background and implementation in AerSett v2.0.2

Abstract. We propose two explicit expressions to calculate the settling speed of solid atmospheric particles with prolate spheroidal shapes under the hypothesis of horizontal and vertical orientation. The first formulation is based on theoretical arguments only. The second method, valid for particles with mass median diameter up to 1000 µm, is based on recent heuristic drag expressions based on numeric simulations. We show that these two formulations show equivalent results within 2 % for deq≤100 µm and within 10 % for particles with deq≤500 µm falling with a horizontal orientation, showing that the first, more simple, method is suitable for virtually all atmospheric aerosols, provided their shape can be adequately described as a prolate spheroid. Finally, in order to facilitate the use of our results in chemistry transport models, we provide an implementation of the first of these methods in AerSett v2.0.2, a module written in Fortran.

Abstract. This 4 “R” (i.e., Reclaim, Readjustment of Land, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction) concept is an appropriate solution for a resilient urban environment with sustainable development after the disaster events. On the late night of 16 June 2021, Melanchi Bazar of Nepal a flash flood of outburst of landslide dam created unexpected disaster destroying the lives and properties with the loss of 291 households and displaced more than 600 peoples, cultivated land, and major infrastructures. Land reclaim is necessary in the flood plain area with the “Built Back Better” concept. Land readjustment with new cadastral survey should be conducted to update the existing record of the privatively owned land of the citizens. Rehabilitations of urban facilities, with the function of flood plain area providing the storage to reduce stream velocities during high floods. Revitalization and recuperative treatment of the urban settlements with an enhancement of wetlands, creeks, and river corridors.
Microbial interactions with long-lived carbon pools in North-east Australian grasslands
Authors:   , McEwan Sandra
Published: July 2024

A substantial portion of stable carbon is derived from microbial biomass, but the impact of microbial community structure and diversity on stable carbon accumulation is not well understood. Under a disturbance gradient in Northeast Australian grasslands (n=15), we observed that fast-cycling gram-negative bacteria were key drivers of stable carbon variation through biomass contributions, with minimal influence from bacterial cellular functions. Fungal contributions to stable carbon are facilitated through interactions with bacteria, particularly from ligninolytic fungi, that likely create resource hotspots that support bacterial proliferation and turnover. This research emphasises the importance of microbial interactions across trophic levels in carbon sequestration.
Understanding the rape acknowledgment process: A follow-up study
Authors:   , Adams Kelsey
Published: July 2024

This study investigated rape acknowledgment, the process by which sexual violence survivors choose the label they use to refer to unwanted or non-consensual sexual experiences. This study is the first to explore rape acknowledgment as a process, seeking to understand how acknowledgment works over time. This study finds that survivors’ feelings of certainty in their chosen label may fluctuate over time. This certainty crucially informs how other post-assault experiences impact survivors’ acknowledgment and healing.
Donor motivations, intentions, and expectations of nonprofit accountability: Exploring the 2019/20 Kangaroo Island bushfires case
Authors:   , Ellis Jena
Published: July 2024

This research explored why donors give to disaster relief fundraising campaigns and their expectations of nonprofit organisations’ accountability. The research case studied the 2019/20 Kangaroo Island bushfires and drew upon the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Findings highlight the difficulties for nonprofits in effectively communicating with donors to minimise public concern and negative publicity around resource allocation to victims. While this research did not seek to extend the theoretical framework used, findings based on 14 semi-structured interviews offer conceptual clarification, and a deeper understanding of participants’ trust and expectations of nonprofit accountability.
