Constitutionalizing (In)justice: Treaty Interpretation and the Containment of Indigenous Governance
Authors: Starblanket Gina
Published: March 2019

To state that the Canadian criminal justice system has historically failed to provide adequate measures of justice for Indigenous peoples would be both an understatement and a mischaracterization. Canadian institutions of justice have not merely failed Indigenous peoples but were not designed to protect Indigenous interests to begin with. Designed by and for European newcomers who sought to institute their own legal orders, the justice system has functioned as an integral part of the structure of settler colonialism in Canada.

Published: March 2019

To explore the long-term creep behavior of deep rock, the long-term tri-axial creep mechanical behavior of the rock under different confining pressures has been carried out. The results show that the instantaneous strain and creep strain of the high confining pressure specimen are significantly higher than that of the low confining pressure specimen under high deviatoric stress. By analyzing the failure characteristics of different confining pressure specimens, it is found that with the increase of the confining pressure, the creep failure characteristics of the marble transforms from tensile failure to shear failure. These research results have certain reference significance for the long-term stability analysis of the deep underground caverns.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Cervical cancer is caused by persistent infection by high risk Human papilloma virus (HPV).Increasing expression of HPV viral oncogenes might be reflected by increased expression of p16. Hence immunohistochemical detection of p16INK4a is an easy and cost effective method than molecular detection of HPV.

Aims: The purpose of this study were to evaluate the results of expression of p16INK4a in neoplastic squamous cell lesions of cervix in order to assess the association of HPV infection in those lesions and to study the pattern of expression of p16 and also to compare p16 expression in various histological types of cervical neoplastic squamous cell lesions by immunohistochemistry.

Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of p16 expression was performed on 26 paraffin embedded tissue samples, obtained from cervical biopsy including 2 early invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 6 large cell keratinizing SCC, 16 large cell non- keratinizing SCC and 2 cases small cell non-keratinizing SCC by using commercially available mouse monoclonal antibody to p16 (clone G175 – 405). Two parameters were evaluated in p16 expression: Percentage of p16 positive cells and reaction intensity of p16 immunostaining. The p16 expression was graded as negative; Grade 1, 2, 3 and its reaction intensity was graded as negative, weak, moderate and strong.

Results: In the present study out of 26 cases, the incidence of large cell non- keratinizing SCC constituted majority of the neoplastic lesions of cervix (61.5%). Most of the SCC (96.15%) showed grade 3 scoring for p16 positivity except one case which showed grade 2 scoring. Majority of SCC cases (96%) showed strong reaction intensity for p16 immunostaining.

Conclusion: In this study of 26 neoplastic sqaumous cell lesions, all patterns of cervical neoplasia showed p16 positivity. P16 may be useful as an adjunct in histological sections to detect HPV in those lesions.

Published: March 2019

Laparoscopy has gained a worldwide acceptance due to its added advantages. Pneumoperitoneum required for this although aids in the surgical skill but invites a straight challenge to the attending anaesthesiologist for optimal control of haemodynamics .Reports of serious complication have been documented with abrupt and rough insufflation techniques of artificial creation of pneumoperitoneum ranging from mild bradycardia to frank cardiac arrest due to vagal mediated parasympathetic response due to rapid stretching of peritoneum. Gradual, gentle and slow rate of insufflation can prevent such complications. In this context, we have conducted a study on 40 patients of ASA I and ASA II, undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery requiring general anaesthesia with intubation. Patients were randomly allocated into study (A) and control (B) group. Group A (20 patients) comprises of the group where surgeon uses gradual and slow rate of insufflations of co2 whereas group B comprises of patients in which the surgeons uses abrupt and rapid insufflations of co2 at the rate of more than 4L/min and have found statistically significant hemodynamic changes in group B in comparison to Group A. Hence, we have concluded that insufflation with high flow rate while establishing artificial pneumoperitoneum increase IAP instantaneously and unexpected cardiovascular changes occurs such as hypotension, bradyarrhythmia whereas slow rate of insufflations prevents such complications. In patients with compromised cardio respiratory status, such vagal response with abrupt and rapid insufflations of co2 can prove to be detrimental .Therefore, not only maintaining IAP below 12-15 mmHg but also keeping slow insufflation rate (2-4lit/min) when establishing pneumoperitoneum is important and essential.

Authors: Viet-Quoc Nguyen Patrick , Lucie Pelletier , Isabelle Payot , Judith Latour
Published: March 2019

Objectives: To design the Drug Delirium Scale (DDS), an evaluation tool to assess the drug burden in delirium in the elderly population.

Design: We proceeded with a systematic literature review through database and grey literature. The records were examined by two independent reviewers using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data from the selected studies was extracted and a summary chart was written for each drug. Drugs in anticholinergic drug scales, Beers and STOPP criteria for anticholinergic of cognitive impairment effects were also included for evaluation. These summaries were submitted to the geriatric expert panel composed of two geriatric physicians and two geriatric pharmacists. The panel chose each drug included in the DDS list and their rank.

Results: 981 records were identified and 149 met inclusion criteria. The expert panel evaluated 265 drugs and selected 96 drugs for the DDS scale. The mean interrater reliability score was of 0,634 [CI: 0,441; 0,791].

Conclusion: The Delirium Drug Scale (DDS) is the first evaluation tool to assess the risk of delirium derived from drugs used in the elderly population. It was designed using a sound methodological process. The DDS must now be tested in the geriatric population to validate its predictive value for delirium.

Impaired Metabolism Induced By Perinatal Hypoxia
Authors: Elizabeta Zisovska , Kornelija Trajkova
Published: March 2019

Perinatal hypoxia induces disturbances in glucose metabolism. In anaerobic environment, high level of lactate production persists, causing endothelial damage and deleterious effect on the brain. The outcome depends on the brain capacity to utilize lactate and ketones as an alternative energy source to glucose. There isn't evidence that depriving infants of glucose after hypoxia is neuroprotective. The aim of our study was to present the results of blood investigation for blood sugar level (BSL), lactate level (LL), and to assess the correlation between these markers and severity of Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Material: asphyxiated newborns born at Obstetric&Gynecology Clinic in Macedonia. Methods: clinical, biochemical, statistical. Results: at first sight we got almost normal value of BSL (mean value in healthy full-term infants was 2,8 mmol/l, in examined group 2,7 mmol/l), but deep analysis of distribution showed three-modal curve: 33% of them had normal value (3,1 mmol/l), 43% of the babies were hypoglycemic (BSL 1,3 mmol/l) and 24% were hyperglycemic with BSL of 4,8 mmol/l. The LL had very concordant distribution: in hypoglycemic infants LL was much lower than normal values (<0,9 micromol/l compared to normal value 1,2-1,8 micromol/l), similar in normoglycemic infants (LL was 1,0 micromol/l), in hyperglycemic the LL increased significantly to 2,8 micromol/l,. The Spearman coefficient of correlation showed moderate level of correlation between LL and severity of HIE (r=0,65). Conclusion: perinatal hypoxia is still important cause of brain damage, and the management of hypoxic baby includes careful maintenance of glycaemia and other homeostatic parameters.

Authors: Honey Michelle , Aspden Trudi , Bhargava Anuj , Carrucan-Wood Louise , Tsai Angela , Sim Jenny
Published: March 2019

Communities of practice are frequently described and discussed in academic literature and within education. They are depicted as groups of people with a shared interest coming together and in a higher education setting this shared interest relates to the practice of teaching and learning. The establishment of a cross-discipline faculty-wide community of practice to support educators in higher education is novel. This paper describes the establishment of a community of practice within one university faculty uniting educators across multiple disciplines within the Faculty. Data spanning thirty months since the inception of a teaching and learning community are presented. The findings illustrate a growing community of practice, along with perceived benefits and future directions. The creation of an interprofessional faculty-wide community of practice illustrates how educators can be drawn together because of their common passion for teaching and learning and a mutual concern of how to maximise student learning.

Аллергия I типа опосредована формированием IgE-антител к безвредным веществам. Механизмы возникновения аллергии остаются дискуссионными. Одним из факторов риска может быть снижение защитных функций барьерных тканей. Целью работы было проанализировать гуморальный иммунный ответ на вирус Эпштейна–Барр (ВЭБ) у больных с аллергией на гриб A. alternata и клещей домашней пыли D. farinae (КДП) и у здоровых людей. Известно, что до 90% населения инфицированы ВЭБ. Инфицирование происходит в раннем возрасте параллельно с формированием аллергических реакций. Анализ антител проводили методом иммуно-ПЦР с использованием рекомбинантного белка ВЭБ rEBNA1. Показали, что инфицирование как у больных, так и у доноров происходит в детстве; доля сероположительных по ВЭБ индивидов была сравнимой в группах (75% и 74%). Доля пациентов с высокими титрами IgG1 среди больных с аллергией была ниже (7%) по сравнению с донорами (18%), что соответствует меньшей вирусной нагрузке. У больных с аллергией, но не у здоровых людей, наблюдали снижение титров IgG1 с возрастом (р = 0,037). Кроме того, при аллергии повышены титры IgA1 по сравнению с донорами, однако IgA1-ответы при аллергии на гриб A. alternata и на КДП различались. При аллергии также раньше формировались IgM к ВЭБ. Таким образом, при аллергии быстрее формируется IgM и IgA1 гуморальный ответ, что приводит к снижению с возрастом IgG1-титров.

Based on the results of research that conducted by previous researchers suggest that the schools are the institutions most vulnerable to enter the radical religious ideology. Many factors could be cause this to happen. The lack regulation of the process of Islamic religious education in the schools, psychological conditions adolescentare unstable and looking for identity, the lack of religious comprehension in the students, and the religious organizations that entered to school institutions with a various of ideologies very easy, are part of the factors that cause vulnerability school institute from radical religious comprehension. In the respect to these conditions are required the model of the da’wa movement that can be accepted by adolescent and it be an alternative in the development of da’wa in the schools.To get the data, the authors conducted a qualitative study in the area of ​​Purwokerto using the phenomenological approach. The researchers conducted interviews and focus group discussions with the school leaders, teachers, students, activists of religious organizations, and religious leaders who understand the problems in this study. The main data is processed by combining the results of the observation and study of literature through a phenomenological approach that emphasizes the meaning behind the phrases or statements from informan.To produce the movement patterns of school da’wathat can be acceptable to all the communities in the schools, the school needs to make the movement patterns of integratif school da’wa,both intra-curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricularactivities. The religious activities and cultivation of religious values ​​are part of the process of da’wa that do not separated in the schools. In the practice of this the movement patterns, the school should pay attention to the characteristics of the school, students' backgrounds, as well as involvedstakeholders and the da’wa organizations.
Feminist Perspective in Shashi Deshpande's “That Long Silence”

Published: March 2019

Man has always tried  to determine  and tamper the image of woman and especially her identity is manipulated and orchestrated. Whenever a woman is spoken of, it is always in the relation to man; she is presented as a wife , mother, daughter and even as a lover but never as a woman  a human being- a separate entity. Her entire life is idealized and her fundamental rights and especially her behaviour is engineered by the adherents of patriarchal society. Commenting  on the Man-woman relationship in a marital bond Simone de Beauvoir wrote in her epoch-making book entitled The Second Sex(1949): "It has been said that marriage diminishes man,  which is often true , but almost always it annihilates women". Feminist movement advocates the equal rights and equal opportunities for women. The true spirit of feminism is into look at women and men as human beings. There should not be gender bias or discrimination in familial and social life. To secure gender justice and gender equity is the key aspects of feminist movement. In India, women writers have come forward to voice their feminist approach to life and the patriarchal family set up. They believe that the very notion of gender is not only biotic and biologic episode but it has a social construction.

Published: March 2019

Abstract: The efforts to improve the quality of education in Papua is done through education scholarship program, and one of them is by sending senior high school students in Papua to other regions for education. The movement of the students to other regions forces them to do social adjustments. In this situation, each individual often experiences shocks to the new cultures (culture shock). This research was conducted to empirically test the relationship of culture shock with social adjustment of Papuan students in Magelang. The hypothesis in this study is that there is a negative relationship between culture shock and the social adjustment of Papuan students who migrated to Magelang. The higher the culture shock is experienced, the lower the social adjustment ability is, and vice versa. The results of this study indicate that the proposed hypothesis is proved, that the culture shock is negatively correlated and very significant to social adjustment. The analysis between the culture shocks and social adjustments shows a strong relationship between the four aspects (stress reaction, cognitive fatigue, role shock, and personal shock) in culture shock with social adjustment. Among those four aspects, role shock aspect has the highest correlation coefficient. This shows that this aspect is the most closely related to the social adjustment of Papuan students in Magelang, and the least related is the stress reaction.

Abstract: The use of figurative speech is pervasive in many cultures both in work of literature and day-to-day communication. This specific use of language is one of the many strategies of communication which is imaginative and indirect in nature. Since its meaning is culturally-bounded, then the maning of a particular figurative speech varies from one culture to another. The goals of this paper are a) presenting figurative speeches of animal used in ritual communication, delivered in the local languge, Kambera and then translated into Indonesian; b) explaining the meaning of the figurative speeches in the contexts of Sumbanese culture; c) categorizing the animal metaphors or similes in terms of its positive or negative meanings. Data of ritual couplets are obtained from a library study and interviews with some informatns from eastern Sumba. To understand the meanings of the couplets, the writer conducted interviews and discussion with the informants. The research shows that there are 26 kinds of animal involved in 64 collected couplets. Figurarive speeches using animals generally portray the undesirable traits working against the living norms in the Sumbanese society. They function as a social control over people’s behaviors.

Abstrak: Penggunaan bahasa kiasan (atau majas) sangat umum dalam banyak kebudayaan, baik dalam dunia kesustraan sastra maupun komunikasi sehari-hari. Bahasa kiasan adalah salah satu strategi komunikasi yang bersifat imaginatif dan tidak langsung yang menggambarkan bagaimana pengguna memahami dunianya. Karena pemaknaannya berkaitan erat dengan konteks budaya orang yang menggunakannya, maka arti bahasa ini bervariasi dari satu budaya ke budaya yang lain. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah a) menghadirkan majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual yang terucap dalam bahasa lisan lokal, Kambera. Bahasa ritual Kambera juga diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia; b) menguraikan makna bahasa ritual tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan pengambaran realitas kehidupan, dan c), yang berkaitan dengan tujuan kedua, menjelaskan apakah potret manusia melalui majas tersebut berkonotasi positif atau negatif. Data diperoleh melalui convenience sampling dari studi pustaka dan wawancara dengan nara sumber dari Sumba Timur. Pemaknaan majas juga dilakukan melalui wawancara dan diskusi dengan beberapa nara sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 26 jenis binatang dalam 64 bait ritual yang dikumpulkan. Citra binatang pada umumnya mengambarkan perilaku yang bertentangan dengan tatanan norma atau kepatutan dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Majas binatang dalam bahasa ritual orang Sumba menjadi semacam kontrol sosial terhadap perilaku anggota masyarakatnya.

Nowadays, development of cable-stayed bridges is increasing around the world. The mitigation of seismic forces to these bridges are obligatory to prevent damages or failure of its structural members. Herein, this paper aimed to determine the near-fault ground motion effect on an existing cablestayed bridge equipped with lead-rubber bearing. In this context, Shipshaw cable-stayed bridge is selected as the case study. The selected bridge has a span of 183.2 m composite deck and 43 m height of steel tower. 2D finite element models of the non-isolated and base isolated bridges are modelled by using SAP2000. Three different near-fault ground motions which are Tabas 1978, Cape Mendocino 1992 and Kobe 1995 were subjected to the 2D FEM models in order to determine the seismic behaviour of the bridge. The near-fault ground motions were applied to the bridge in the longitudinal direction. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed to determine the dynamic responses of the bridge. Comparison of dynamic response of nonisolated and base isolated bridge under three different near-fault ground motions were conducted. The results obtained from numerical analyses of the bridge showed that the isolation system lengthened the period of bridge and minimised deck displacement, base shear and base moment of the bridge. It is concluded that the isolation system significantly reduced the destructive effects of near-fault ground motions on the bridge.

The application of concrete filled steel tubes (CFSTs) as composite members has widely been used around the world and is becoming popular day by day for structural application especially in earthquake regions. This paper indicates that an experimental study was conducted to comprehend the behaviour of T-stub end plates connected to concrete filled thin-walled steel tube (CFTST) with different types of bolts and are subjected to pullout load. The bolts used are normal type bolt M20 grade 8.8 and Lindapter Hollo-bolt HB16 and HB20. A series of 10 mm thick T-stub end plates were fastened to 2 mm CFTST of 200 mm x 200 mm in cross-section. All of the specimens were subjected to monotonic pull-out load until failure. Based on test results, the Lidapter Hollo-bolts showed better performance compare to normal bolts. The highest ultimate limit load for T-stub end plate fasten with Lindapter Hollo-bolt is four times higher than with normal bolt although all end plates show similar behaviour and failure mode patterns. It can be concluded that T-stub end plate with Lindapter Hollo-bolt shows a better performance in the service limit and ultimate limit states according to the regulations in the design codes.

The massive growth of construction industry especially in the developing countries results in extensive quarrying activities which ultimately would lead to the depletion of natural resources. Apart from extensive extraction of the natural granite from the earth for concrete production, marble production industry is also majorly contributing to the quarrying activities. In addition, high volume of waste is generated by the marble production industry as 70% of marble is wasted during the production such as quarrying, cutting, processing and others which is environmental unfriendly. In a way to achieve sustainable construction, the present study is to utilise the waste marble in replacing the coarse aggregate in concrete production. The engineering performance including workability, compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and chloride penetration were analysed. The raw waste marble obtained from the industry were crushed and sieved into maximum size 20 mm and used to replace the coarse aggregate at the level of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% respectively. Results show that 60% of the replacement level has yield to optimum result by achieving the highest compressive strength and UPV at approximate 5% higher than the control. Meanwhile, the effect on chloride penetration resistance is more significant, i.e. approximate 19% better than the control. However, increasing the replacement level of waste marble has no significant effect on workability, although an increasing trend was observed.
Modulation transfer function evaluation of cone beam computed and microcomputed tomography by using slanted edge phantom
Authors: BENCE Szabó TAMÁS
Published: March 2019

Modulation transfer function (MTF) is a well known and widely accepted method for evaluating the spatial resolution of a digital radiographic imaging system. In the present study our aim was to evaluate the MTF obtained from CBCT and micro-CT images. A cylinder shaped phantom designed for slanted-edge method was scanned by a CBCT device at a 100 µm isometric voxel size and by a micro-CT device at a 20 µm isometric voxel size, simultaneously. The MTF curves were calculated and the mean spatial resolutions at 10% MTF were 3.33 + 0.29 lp/mm in the case of CBCT images and 13.35 + 2.47 lp/mm in the case of micro-CT images. The values showed a strong positive correlation regarding the CBCT and the micro-CT spatial resolution values, respectively. Our results suggests that CBCT imaging devices with a voxel size of 100 µm or below might aid the validation of fine anatomical structures and allowing the opportunity for reliable micromorphometric examinations

Neofrancoism and the Problem of Territorial Integrity of Modern Spain
Authors: Dementiev A. V.
Published: March 2019

The article is devoted to the strengthening of right-wing and populist sentiments observed in Spanish society in recent years, which is largely a consequence of both ethno-national conflicts, primarily in Catalonia, and of social and ideological confrontations that have become aggravated in the country. There is an increase in the influence of neo-traditionalists and neo-conservatives, whose calls to protect the territorial integrity of the country, the Christian values and historical traditions of the Spanish nation are heard louder, echoing Franco's ideological and political heritage. Neo-francoists, neo-phalangists, monarchists, carlists, and some military circles in Spain praising now the contribution of the dictatorial regime to the historical and socio-economic development of the country in the 20th century. The article cites facts proving that the basic tenets of Francoism, associated primarily with the preservation of the territorial integrity of the country and the unity of the Spanish nation, are finding welcome response in modern Spain. With the growth of separatist aspirations in the regions the nationalism in the form of neo-Francoism, has recently acquired more and more real political power. The conclusion is proved by the success of the right-wing Vox party in the elections to the regional parliament of Andalusia in December 2018. If the current trends continue, Spanish ultranationalists and neo-francoists will be represented not only in regional parliaments, but will also receive mandates in the General Cortes and the European Parliament.
Saudi Arabia’s Economic Competitiveness in the Middle East
Authors: Naumenko T. V. , Timakhov K. V.
Published: March 2019

Saudi Arabia is one of the key economic players in the Middle East with a number of competitive advantages. The article analyzes these advantages as well as disadvantages and identifies measures to improve the competitive potential of Saudi Arabia. Methodologically it employs the Porter’s «diamond model». Cultural, historical and socio-political trends in Saudi Arabia increase the complexity of reforming the economy and increasing its competitiveness. The current reforms are insufficient to improve the quality of human capital. Existing economic and political institutions need to be reformed. There is an obvious problem of low women’s employment. Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia occupies only the 4th place on the regional competitive index table, authors see ways to strengthen this indicator of the Kingdom’s economy. The most decisive factor in this regard as argued by the authors is the elimination of state institutional problems which are chiefly responsible for low competitiveness of the economy.

Indoor air quality is increasingly important as people spend more and more time for indoor activities.  A sampling campaign was conducted to sample airborne particles at nursery schools in Hanoi in May and June 2018. The sampling strategy was performed during lessons and in absence of children in classrooms. Heavy metals and trace elements (Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn, Ni, As, Mn, Cr, Hg, Fe…) were quantified by using ICP-MS method. Emission sources of heavy metals were estimated using statistical analyses such as factor analysis while cancer risk assessment was conducted using chronic daily intake (CDI) and slop factor (SF). In the presence of children, indoor concentrations of heavy metals and trace elements were within the range from 1,7-3,2 ng/m3 (Cd) to 1588-3238 ng/m3 (Zn), while these corresponding values obtained when the rooms were empty were in the ranges of 0,6-0,9  and 746,2-2011 ng/m3. Indoor/outdoor ratios of studied elements varied from school to school and ranged from 0.25 to 2.88, implying presence of indoor emission sources. The calculated cancer risks ranged from 4.8x10-6 to 5.0x10-4, being hihgher than limit values set by USEPA, implying significant health risk to young children.
