Municipal public health planning needs representational skills within the community
Authors: Murray Zoë
Published: July 2023

Municipal public health planning (MPHP) endeavours to enhance community participation in public health decision making. A study of community participation of municipal public health planning projects in Queensland, Australia highlights that while community participation is an important element of the planning, the focus is also on developing mechanisms to ensure intersectoral collaborations and placing public health issues on the agenda of decision makers. With modest funding and the breadth of these focuses, MPHP is limited in directly supporting disadvantaged groups in the community to engage in participatory activities. The challenge can be to engage all the relative perspectives of the community, particularly if it is typical of a group to demonstrate nonparticipation in whole of community group activities. Success in the area of engaging with target groups was found by having the time and project staff to identify and access an advocate or advocacy forum to represent a voice for the group. This highlights the importance of representative and advocacy roles in the community.
Crippin’ the Flâneur: Cosmopolitanism, and Landscapes of Tolerance
Authors: Campbell Fiona Kumari
Published: July 2023

Cosmopolitanism, desire and the contracting of social relationships are enduring themes in both philosophy and social theory. In this paper I seek to explore these themes in order to ascertain what they might mean to disabled people and the ethos of ableism more generally. Modern Westernized life has since the Industrial Revolution been sited in cities fostering the growth of urban culture and an ethos of cosmopolitanism (Agamben, 2009; Beck, 2002; Cheah, 2006). The cosmopolitan outlook has become the signifier of that which is developed, advanced and civilized in society. The liberal project of the melting pot, of social tolerance is cast against the backdrop of city life (Brown, 2006). The paper will first examine the trope of cosmopolitanism and disability including the place of ‘spaces’ for marginal peoples. Second, it will provide a perspective on the disabled flâneur (Campbell, 2009; Simmel, 1908; Young, 2005) who ambivalently claims ‘outsider-insidedness’ and finally the paper moves to consider the significant question of social inclusion and the government of aversion through the deployment of discourses of tolerance.
Replacing trains with coaches: implications for social inclusion in rural New South Wales
Authors: Gray Ian , Crichton Merrilyn
Published: July 2023

With the future of New South Wales (NSW) regional train services under question, concern has been expressed that replacement of trains with coaches will diminish levels of mobility and raise social exclusion for some people. Provision has been made on coaches for people considered to be disabled, but without recognition of the needs of people who do not fit either able or disabled categorisation. All train services offer better accessibility and therefore mobility to all people. The issue of regional train service cessation and replacement raises questions regarding the reliability of existing Australian studies about train service replacement, the degree to which health and illness are affected, as well as the potential for the exacerbation of existing social exclusion. An examination of the literature and some historical investigation undertaken by the authors highlights these limitations amid the ableism/disablism dualism in existing research and rural transport policy. The paper further suggests that the absence of Australian evidence of mobility loss should not be taken to indicate the reality of regional mobility and social inclusion. Instead the paper argues that further independent mobility loss and social exclusion may occur if coaches are further substituted for regional train services.
Taking a leap of faith: Meaningful participation of people with experiences of homelessness in solutions to address homelessness
Authors: Norman Trudy , Pauly Bernadette , Marks Hilary , Palazzo Dakota
Published: July 2023

Participation of people with experiences of homelessness is critical to the development of meaningful strategies to end homelessness. The purpose of this study was to gain insights from people who have been homeless in a mid-sized Canadian city, as to strategies that facilitate meaningful participation in solutions to end homelessness. Within an overarching framework of collaborative research, we collected data through seven focus groups and employed interpretive description as our approach to data analysis. In our analysis, we identified both exclusionary and inclusionary forces that impact participation. Exclusionary forces included being ‘caught in the homelessness industry’, ‘homelessness is a full time job’ and facing stigma/discrimination that make participation a ‘leap of faith’. Inclusionary forces included earning respect and building trust to address unequal power relations, and restoring often ‘taken for granted’ social relations. Specific strategies to enhance participation include listening, valuing skills and stories, and supporting advocacy efforts. The study findings illuminate ways in which power imbalances are lived out in the daily lives of people who experience homelessness, as well as mitigating forces that provide direction as to strategies for addressing power inequities that seek to make participation and social inclusion meaningful.
Towards an inclusive society in Ghana: An analysis of challenges persons with disabilities face in participating in tourism in the Ashanti region
Authors: Mensah Sussan Aggrey , Badu Eric , Opoku Maxwell Peprah
Published: July 2023

Participation in tourism brings individuals, families and communities together, making it an important social inclusion strategy. Negative perceptions about persons with disabilities could make it difficult for them to access public places. Therefore, this study served to examine tourism challenges for persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the Ashanti region of Ghana. A cross sectional study with quantitative data collection was conducted with PwDs. Structured questionnaires were administered to 120 PwDs using a convenience sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were explored using SPSS version 20. The study found that PwDs faced barriers to facilities and structures at tourist destinations. The barriers to tourism included lack of income, negative attitudes of the public and physical barriers such as a lack of adapted toilet facilities, tables and chairs, inaccessible routes for wheel chair users, inability to climb walkways and an absence of canopy walk-ways. The study supports the evidence of challenges faced by PwDs at tourism destinations. Redesigning and resourcing tourism facilities to be more PwD friendly could remove barriers faced by PwDs in tourism, creating greater social inclusion for this population.
Beyond supply and demand: addressing the complexities of workforce exclusion in Australia
Authors: Goodwin-Smith Ian , Hutchinson Claire
Published: July 2023

Workforce exclusion is a complex and enduring problem in Australia, with some groups of job seekers more likely to be disadvantaged in the labour market than others. We identify a dominant ‘work first’ unemployment intervention narrative that ignores the nature of disadvantage and its relationship to workforce exclusion. This narrative reduces unemployment to a simple matter of labour market supply and demand, and privileges immediate economic productivity and exit from welfare payments over sustainable attachment to quality jobs. We examine fourteen programs for disadvantaged job seekers under one national provider network. Data was gathered from eleven semi-structured telephone interviews and eight evaluation reports and analysed using thematic analysis supported by NVivo. Our findings challenge the dominant narrative and stress the importance of a partnership-orientated and capacity building focus on the unemployed person, and the significance of quality employment with long term support. We identify the importance of acknowledging job seekers’ strengths, aspirations and preferences, and of job seekers having agency to determine their own pathways with support from service providers.
Exploring the challenges experienced by people with disabilities in the employment sector in Australia: Advocating for inclusive practice‐ a review of literature
Authors: Ruhindwa Amos , Randall Christine , Cartmel Jennifer
Published: July 2023

People with disabilities are generally not considered as able participants in the workforce (paid or volunteer work) and therefore, they often experience exclusion from participating in mainstream employment opportunities. People with disabilities experience various barriers to employment, such as discrimination in the workplace, stigma, prejudice and stereotypes. However, some people with disabilities participate in the workforce and make valuable contributions towards economic development, social capital and wider society. This literature review summarises published research findings about the challenges that people with disabilities experience in pursuing employment opportunities, including volunteering and paid positions; and in undertaking these roles. Furthermore, it explores possible interventions to improve employment outcomes that are effective from the perspectives of people with disabilities. Findings indicate that effective practice takes an inclusive approach and allows clients to take ownership of solutions in relation to addressing the challenges they experience in the employment sector. For this reason, two different community development projects, which particularly focused on employment challenges for people with disabilities, as well as outlining strategies and solutions that promote client ownership were reviewed. Additionally, employment support techniques and strategies, as well as human rights’ principles on work and employment for people with disabilities will be debated. Finally, implications for research and practice for the rehabilitation counselling profession and the disability employment services sector are discussed.

Stingless bees are a group of eusocial insects, they inhabit tropical and subtropical areas of the world and approximately 500 species are reported. In the pre-Hispanic era in Mesoamerica, vestiges of meliponiculture are reported; the relationship between the people of the civilizations of this time and the stingless bees had an important value in social, economic, and religious aspects. The objective of this study was to perform an ancestor-descendant bioinformatic analysis with molecular data (mtDNA) of the Meliponines. Nucleotide sequences of the COI-COII fragments of mtDNA were obtained from the Nucleotide sequence database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), using the search and Entrez functions. The fragments the sequences were aligned with cluster and then a phylogenetic analysis of the native bee species reported for Mexico in the NCBI was carried out. Based on the COI-COII mtDNA fragments, it was possible to build a phylogenetic tree, finding evolutionary relationships between the species, allowing to demonstrate that species of the Meliponini Tribe diverge from a more recent common ancestor to a less recent one.

Introduction: Many women and girls face financial challenges in meeting their menstrual hygiene management needs. The main objective of this study is to estimate the financial cost of menstrual hygiene management among school-going girls. Methodology: This is a prospective study carried out in a semi-urban school environment at the Public High School in the health district of Bla in 2020. Results: This study was conducted among 125 high school girls with no income. The average age was 18 years old. Parents lived in rural areas with no fixed monthly income in 52% of cases. Multipurpose pieces of cloth were the protective material used in 67% of cases. The girls explained this choice in 100% of cases by the high cost of single pads and tampons. The average monthly cost of menstrual hygiene management was 0, 56 $ or 6, 67 $ per year with extremes of 0, 16 and 2, 45 $ per month. This amount was used to buy either single-use pads or soap for body care and multiple-use pads. This financial cost was covered at 92% by female support (mother, aunt, sister); male support (father, spouse) accounted for only 8%. Conclusion: This study made it possible to estimate the average annual financial cost of menstrual hygiene management among young school girls in Bla. These findings call for further studies to better understand the financial implications of menstrual hygiene management in low-resource settings.
Accuracy of Johnson's Formula for Estimating Fetal Weight Compared to Actual Birth Weight: A Study of 600 Cases in Rangpur Medical College
Authors: Khatun Rabeya , Azad Md. Abul Kalam , Ali Md. Nawsad , Parvin Rehana , Tabassum Shamima
Published: July 2023

Introduction: The estimation of fetal weight during pregnancy has a significant impact on the survival of newborns and some immediate and late sequelae of the life of newborns. Estimation of fetal weight also plays a paramount role in determining time, mode, and place of delivery. There are many methods to estimate fetal weight like the palpation method, fundal height measurement, and radio frequency volume reduction. Johnson's method is one of the clinical methods that require no expense and is easier to estimate the precise birth weight and fetal weight. This study aimed to analyze the accuracy of the Johnsons formula for estimating fetal weight compared to actual birth weight. Methods: This cross-sectional prospective study took place in the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Rangpur Medical College Hospital, Rangpur, between May 2015 to October 2015, six (06) months after approval. The sample size was 600 as per inclusion criteria. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with the women by using a pre- design questionnaire after proper counseling and informed written consent. The purposive sampling method was used in the study. Data processing was consisting of registration schedule, editing, computerization, preparation of dummy table, analyzing & matching of data. Statistical analysis was carried out by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16.0 for Windows. The mean values were calculated for continuous variables. The quantitative observations were indicated by frequencies and percentages. Paired t-test was used for continuous variables. Pearson's correlation coefficients were used to test the relationship between the groups. P values <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: The mean age was found 24.5±5.1 years with a range from 18 to 38 years. The mean symphysio fundal height was found 32.4±2.0 cm with a range from 28 to 36 cm. The mean estimated fetal weight was found 3205.2±287.9 grams with a range from 2635 to 3875 grams. The mean actual birth weight after delivery was found 3019.0±359.0 grams with a range from 2200 to 3800 grams. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between the two groups. A positive significant correlation (r=0.929; p=0.001) was found between actual birth weight and estimated fetal weight by Johnson's formula. A positive significant correlation (r=0.517; p=0.001) was found between actual birth weight and symphysio fundal height. A positive significant correlation (r=0.129; p=0.002) was also found between the actual birth weight neonate and the BMI of the mother. Conclusion: Antenatal and intranatal fetal weight can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, clinically using Johnson's formula. Ultrasound is not available in remote areas where Johnson's formula is easy and simple to calculate and can be included in the training program of medical and paramedical staff and birth attendants.
Does Regional Integration Insulate Member Countries from External Spillovers? Studying Trade Shock Transmission between ECOWAS and the Global Economy
Authors: Obinna James Kelechi , Duhu Isiwu George
Published: July 2023

To ascertain if regional economic integration insulates member countries from external spillovers, this work studied the transmission of trade shocks between ECOWAS and the global economy. It adopted the Diebold and Yilmaz (2009) network approach using quarterly data from 1986Q1to 2019Q4 for selected countries. Data were subjected to preliminary tests using the Phillip-Peron unit root test to establish the order of statonarity and Johansen co-integration test to establish existence of co-integration among variables. Following results of preliminary tests, the underlying VAR model was estimated in error correction form. The forecast error variance decompositions (FEVDs) were subsequently generated and used to build generalized trade linkage measures for analysis. Result of the analysis show that ECOWAS economies are highly linked to the global economy, and are net receivers of trade shocks. The study recommends ECOWAS countries diversify to heavy industrial manufacturing, fashion out uniform trade policies to insulate the region from potential trade shocks.
Market Stabilisation Scheme and Management of Liquidity in the Period of Volatile Capital Inflows: The Indian Experience
Authors: Pathak Abhijit
Published: July 2023

India recorded large and exogenous capital inflow from the very beginning of this century. This made monetary and liquidity management increasingly complex and difficult in India. Independent monetary policy in the era of free and volatile capital flow became challenging. To deal with the problems of excess liquidity in the system, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in consultation with the Government of India (GOI) introduced Market Stabilisation Scheme (MSS) in April 2004 with the objective of impounding excess liquidity from the system. In this paper, we have attempted to examine whether MSS was effective as an instrument of sterilisation in absorbing excess liquidity from the system and enabled the RBI to manage the liquidity condition smoothly. This paper has found that MSS was an effective instrument of sterilisation that helped the RBI in managing liquidity conditions in the period of large and exogenous capital inflows. This paper has also found that MSS was even effective in injecting back liquidity into the system through unwinding of securities under MSS redemption and its buyback operations in the period of large capital outflows during the international financial crisis of 2008-09. This helped the large borrowing programmes of the government during 2009-10. The paper has estimated the cost of MSS operations and found it on the lower side considering the scale of operation of this scheme.

الحدیث الضعيف عند الإمام أحمد
Authors: عطورة عبد العزیز حسین
Published: July 2023

يتناول هذا البحث موقف الإمام أحمد بن حنبل فيما يتعلق بالأحاديث الضعيفة، حيث يفضل الإمام أحمد الأحاديث الضعيفة على الاستدلال بالقياس والرأي الشخصي. ويرد الكاتب بعض الآراء التي تشير إلى أن الأحاديث الضعيفة ينبغي استعمالها فقط في حالة عدم توفر دليل أقوى أو عند عدم وجود التناقض. ومع ذلك، يبدو أن الإمام أحمد قد استخدم الأحاديث الضعيفة حتى في حالة عدم وجود دليل أقوى. ويقتبس الكاتب أيضًا من ابن تيمية الذي يشرح أن الإمام أحمد استخدم الأحاديث الضعيفة في مسائل الفضائل ليس لإثبات جواز فعل معين، ولكن لإظهار عظمة الثواب الذي يحصل عليه. وعلاوة على ذلك، يشير الكاتب إلى أن الإمام أحمد كان في بعض الأحيان يكتب الأحاديث الضعيفة لدراستها، خاصة إذا كان المتحدثون بها لم يتم اتهامهم بعدم الجدية. وأخيرا، يلاحظ النص أن بعض العلماء يرى أنه يمكن تقوية الأحاديث الضعيفة باستخدام أحاديث ضعيفة أخرى إذا لم يتم اتهام المتحدثون بها بعدم الجدية.

‘There is a sense of bravery in having to make a mark’: Resilience and art therapy in South Africa
Authors: Kinnear Saxon
Published: July 2023

This article is located within the complex landscape of South Africa’s mental healthcare system and its associated challenges regarding socioeconomic and historical injustices. Despite decades of enquiry across diverse fields, the concept of resilience remains subjective. Although tentative connections to creativity, artmaking, and art therapy exist, a contextually relevant South African-focused investigation is missing, providing the gap for this research. Using a constructivist-interpretivist framework and qualitative methodology, discoveries as to how training art therapists conceptualise, utilise, and safeguard their resilience through artmaking were generated. Data was gathered using individual, semi-structured interviews amongst five purposively sampled training art therapist participants and thematic analysis was used to present the findings. Results provide insight into how training art therapists foster resilience through artmaking which equips them to offer similar opportunities for their clients. Findings also suggest that resilience is as crucial for practitioners as it is for clients, especially if the modality is to be sustained long term. Some suggestions for safeguarding practitioner resilience are offered. Consequently, the article offers some evidence as to how and why art therapy offers an accessible and alternative form of healing for people living in South Africa.
Using art therapy to address the protective false self when working with queer identity.
Authors: Naran Kamal
Published: July 2023

The exploration of one’s queer identity can prove significant for queer-identifying people. A result of exploring the multiple layers and aspects of queerness that comprise one's identity is being able to engage in society from the perspective of one’s most authentic self, or as psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott termed it, the ‘true self’. In this paper, I contend that for a queer person to explore their identity, they must first address their protective 'false self', the self that develops from having to comply with the external world. I draw on findings from my dissertation study, which used qualitative methodologies, of an eight-session group art therapy intervention for queer-identifying individuals that aimed to determine whether art therapy can be used to foster self-acceptance. Each session resulted in the creation of an artwork followed by a discussion prompted by the artworks. Many artworks featured bodies and parts of bodies as representations of self and revealed an ambivalence between the true self that wanted to be witnessed and the false self that wanted to conceal the true self. One of the core findings from my dissertation was that the false self only began emerging into the consciousness of the participants at the end of the intervention. In this article, I focus on the artworks created by two participants who attended the group most regularly and tracked the false self in their artworks. This paper argues that there is value in the false self’s protective function as a defence mechanism for the queer population and concludes by highlighting the importance of making visible the false self, through art therapy, before exploring the multiple layers of queer identity.
Answering the Call for Telephone Consumer Protection Act Reform: Effectuating Congressional Intent Within 47 U.S.C. § 227(B)(1)(A)
Authors: Hubbard Justice
Published: July 2023

This Note analyzes the current state of the civil law surrounding the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and highlights a glaring flaw within the current practice of assigning liability to telephonic solicitors utilizing an automatic telephone dialing system (autodialer): solicitors can be subjected to liability even though their actions are not what Congress intended to prevent. Congress enacted the TCPA in response to unique consumer privacy and public safety concerns. For example, the use of an autodialer created a substantial likelihood that autodialers would call emergency services and could “seize” their telephone lines and prevent those lines from being utilized to receive calls from those needing emergency services. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the judiciary, however, have developed differing interpretations of the TCPA, which created unintentional dangers for businesses properly utilizing telemarketing strategies. These dangers that were left unresolved by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid. This fragmented interpretation and application of federal law within various jurisdictions has left callers liable to substantial fines, so long as they use a device that merely has the capacity to act as an autodialer—even if the device did not actually use autodialer functionality. Such a broad interpretation places a heavy burden on companies using technology that does not create the kind of harm against which the TCPA was meant to protect. To effectuate Congressional intent, this Note proposes that the FCC should issue a new interpretation of the TCPA by declaratory ruling that will attach liability to defendants who make use of autodialer functionality, not those who’s devices merely have the capacity to do so. Alternatively, this Note proposes that either Congress amend the TCPA in a manner that better aligns with its goals, or the Supreme Court provide clarification to the lower courts as to how one acquires liability. This change will provide certainty and fairness to businesses, consumers, and the judiciary.
A System Out of Balance: A Critical Analysis of Philosophical Justifications for Copyright Law Through the Lenz of Users' Rights
Authors: Longan Mitchell
Published: July 2023

Ultimately, this Article has three goals. The first is to offer an analysis of users’ rights under copyright law from four commonly used theoretical perspectives. These are labor, personality, economic and utilitarian theories. In doing so, this Article will demonstrate that the philosophies that underpin modern copyright law support a broad and liberal set of rights for derivative creativity. It will argue that current treatment of derivative works is unnecessarily conservative from a theoretical perspective. Second, this Article will demonstrate how, in spite of theory that supports a healthy community of derivative creativity, those who practice it have been further disenfranchised by the law. It will argue term limit extensions, increased protectionist treatment of secondary works online, and the functional lack of access to proper licensing mechanisms have rendered users’ rights impotent. Finally, in conclusion, this Article will offer a solution to the apparent imbalance of power in the form of replacing property-based derivative rights with liability rules. The conclusion, in many ways, merits its own paper and is meant as merely a suggestion of direction rather than a formulated solution.

Authors: Dr. Sarita Rana  , Aryan Jain  , Pranav Sehgal  , Vikramjeet Singh Sandhu
Published: July 2023

This research paper aims to explore the global and domestic scope of "Save Now, Buy Later" (SNBL) apps/platforms and their role in enhancing the financial independence of individuals who adopt these services. SNBL apps have gained significant popularity in recent years, offering consumers the ability to save towards a purchase and defer the payment to a later date. The study investigates the impact of SNBL platforms on consumer behaviour, financial decision-making and overall financial independence. Additionally, it analyses the potential benefits and risks associated with these platforms, taking into account both global and domestic perspectives. The research employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative interviews with SNBL users and quantitative analysis of relevant data and financial indicators. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, and consumers, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the SNBL phenomenon and its implications for personal financial management.
Automated translation from domain knowledge to software model: EXCEL2UML in the tunneling domain
Authors: Paskaleva Galina , Mazak-Huemer Alexandra , Villeneuve Marlène , Waldhart Johannes
Published: July 2023

The development of software tools is a collaborative process involving both the domain experts and the software engineers. This requires efficient communication considering different expertise and perspectives. Additionally, the two groups utilize language and communication tools in disparate ways. This, in turn, may lead to hidden misunderstandings in the requirement analysis phase and potentially result in implementation problems later on, that is difficult and costly to correct. In this paper, we demonstrate the above mentioned challenge via a use case from the tunneling domain. In particular, during the requirement analysis phase for a software capable of handling the data model of the subsoil. The domain experts in the field can best express the complexity of their domain by describing its artifacts, which in most cases are incomprehensible to the software engineers. We outline a method that interleaves requirement analysis and software modeling to enable an iterative increase of the accuracy and completeness of the information extracted from those artifacts and integrated into a flexible software model, which can produce testable software code automatically. Furthermore, we present a prototypical implementation of our method and a preliminary evaluation of the approach.

Published: July 2023

The goal of the study is to determine how Rajbanshi social marriage songs are learned and how oral education is used in their rituals. The Rajbanshi family resides in Bangladesh, Nepal, the far northern section of West Bengal, and the Lower part of Assam. They follow diverse traditions from birth to death since they have unique customs and indigenous cultures such as "Chura koron," "Upanayan," "Brata," "Bhat Khoa," "Biyao," "Puja," and "Dasha & Shradd". The Rajbanshi have been performing the social marriage song for a many of years as part of their ceremonies. The Rajbanshis are mostly practice this skill orally and have learned it through transmission from one generation to the next. Over the decade People have passed the song along to others. This oral tradition is done in groups, primarily by elderly women, in the Rajbangsi community of North Bengal. Nowadays, it is hardly ever practiced. It needs to be kept and practiced regularly so those future generations will know about it.
Association Between Psychological Capital and Subjective Wellbeing: a Systematic Review and Meta-analytic Investigation
Authors: - PAVAN KUMAR TIWARI , - SHRENI KAUSHIK
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to perform a systematic review and meta-analytic investigation of previous empirical studies by examining and synthesizing the strength of the association between psychological capital and subjective well-being and trying to understand the heterogeneity across the studies by potential moderators. Electronic searches of literature on psychological capital and subjective well-being were performed via Scopus, google scholar, web of Science, research gate, etc., and SLR was done as per PRISMA guidelines. The random-effect model was used to compute necessary statistics like effect size, moderating effects, publication bias, and heterogeneity in the meta-essential program.
The findings of this meta-analytic study revealed a large, significant, and positive correlation between psychological capital and subjective well-being (r=0.53; k= 42; 95% CI= 0.47- 0.59; P< 0.001). The effect size varied in the presence of moderators. This meta-analytic examination overcomes the research heterogeneity by synthesizing the correlation of all individual studies on psychological capital and subjective well-being to produce the correct and precise academic conclusion which will help further in the development of new hypotheses. One of the major limitations of this meta-analytic study is that it has utilized only empirical and quantitative studies. Additionally, all studies were collected only from a few electronic database searches like Google Scholar, research gate, web of Science, Scopus, etc. which resulted in a limited number study for the analysis.

Published: July 2023

In Chironomidae larvae, the potential effects of heavy metals and detergent can be seen as a result of morphological deformities in larval mentum, mandibles, oral cavity, and in different body regions. In this experiment, the objectives were to examine (I) The potential effects of heavy metals forming morphological deformities in Chironomidae larvae. (II) The survival rate of Chironomidae larvae in exposure to detergent and heavy metals. (III) To establish a dose-response relationship between toxicant and chironomid larvae. Consecutive developmental stages of larvae from egg to fourth instar were chronically exposed to the four sublethal concentrations of lead (0, 5, 50, 200 µg/g), copper (0, 1, 10, 100 µg/g), and detergent (0, 100, 200, 300 mg/g). Tetraphyll flakes were given as food. This experiment reveals the assessment of toxicity by the sublethal concentration of copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), and detergent induce low to high range of mouthpart and body deformities and survival rates in different instars of Chironomous circumdatus larvae during chronic exposure tests over several generations. According to the consecutive observations, it was found that the deformation frequency of oral region and body were high in detergent medium while lead and copper showed comparatively less deformation rate and high survival. In both lead and copper media, the survival rate shows a declining pattern and deformation frequency increased on increasing the dose.

Makalah ini membincangkan tentang implikasi yang berlaku terhadap persempadanan dan ekonomi Pulau Sebatik, ekoran daripada Perjanjian London pada 17 Mac 1824 melibatkan dua kuasa kolonial, iaitu pihak British dengan pihak Belanda. Perjanjian ini turut dikenali sebagai sebuah persetian yang juga dipanggil sebagai Perjanjian Inggeris-Belanda (1824), yang telah menyelesaikan isu persengketaan antara British dengan Belanda dalam Perjanjian Inggeris-Belanda (1814). Rentetan perjanjian yang melibatkan dua kuasa besar ini, secara tidak langsung memberi implikasi terhadap tanah jajahan masing-masing pada ketika itu. Impak yang besar ini mengakibatkan Kepulauan Melayu dibahagikan kepada dua lingkungan pengaruh, iaitu pengaruh British dan pengaruh Belanda. Akhirnya berlaku perpecahan yang melibatkan Empayar Johor-Riau, apabila Singapura dan Tanah Besar Johor jatuh dalam jajahan British, manakala Kepulauan Riau di bawah jajahan Belanda. Walaupun dilihat perjanjian ini seolah-olah memberi kepuasan yang tuntas kepada kedua-dua kuasa kolonial tersebut, namun perjanjian ini tidak mampu menamatkan persaingan yang wujud antara kedua-duanya, sebaliknya ekoran perjanjian ini, pihak British dan Belanda dilihat semakin sengit bersaing dalam memiliki tanah jajahan. Keadaan inilah yang berlaku terhadap sebuah pulau yang berada di bahagian utara Borneo, bersempadan dengan Kalimantan Timur (kini Kalimantan Utara), dikenali sebagai Pulau Sebatik. Pulau Sebatik menerima implikasi secara langsung ekoran garisan pembahagian yang melibatkan pulau berkenaan seperti yang termeterai dalam Perjanjian London 1824. Melalui kajian yang dijalankan memperlihatkan garis lurus sempadan tersebut masih kekal sehingga hari ini, melibatkan dua entiti negara, iaitu Malaysia dan Indonesia. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Maklumat diperoleh daripada kajian lepas, dokumen rasmi seperti fail dan mikrofilem dan juga fail Colonial Office (CO), Foreign Office (FO) dan North Borneo Central Archive (NBCA) di Arkib Negeri Sabah dan Arkib Negara Malaysia. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa Perjanjian London 1824 memberi kesan secara langsung terhadap penduduk yang mendiami Pulau Sebatik bermula selepas era kolonialisasi Barat ini tamat di Malaysia pada tahun 1963 dan di Indonesia pada tahun 1945. Oleh yang demikian, makalah ini akan memaparkan punca utama yang membawa kepada berlakunya Perjanjian London 1824, dan kesannya terhadap Pulau Sebatik khususnya dalam persempadanan dan ekonomi.
