‘We are two languages here.’ The operation of language policies through spatial ideologies and practices in a co-located and a bilingual school
Authors: From Tuuli
Published: February 2020

Institutional education traditionally entails a premise of language separation. This article aims to analyse language management through spatial ideologies and practices as interconnected manifestations of language policies. Informed by post-structural theorisation, the analysis draws on ethnographic data produced at a co-located campus of Finnish- and Swedish-speaking monolingual schools in Finland and in a Sweden Finnish bilingual school in Sweden. In Finland, the two national languages, Finnish and Swedish, are separated in institutional education, although some of the monolingual Finnish- and Swedish-speaking schools share school facilities. In Sweden, education in one of the national minority languages, Finnish, is organised mainly in a few Sweden Finnish bilingual schools. The findings indicate that language separation in education is constructed as spatial ideologies and negotiated in the spatial practices of schools. Particularly in the context of Swedish in Finland, a spatial ideology promoting separation as a means for protecting language was reproduced. In Sweden, the protection of Finnish in the bilingual institution was under constant negotiation and embedded in the daily spatial practices rather than articulated as a spatial ideology. Linguistic hierarchies and their connections to national language policies become evident when analysing the spatial orders of educational institutions.
Experimental study on influence of molding parameters on self-reinforcement characteristics of polymer co-injection molding
Authors: Lu Yong , Jiang Kaiyu , Wang Minjie , Zhang Yan
Published: February 2020

In this paper, self-reinforced samples with different mechanical properties were obtained by adjusting the molding parameters by co-injection molding technology, and the micro-morphology of these samples was observed. Then, using structured statistical methods, the analysis of variance and response surface methodology were used to study the effects of various molding variables on the morphology and properties of the materials, and to determine the most important molding variables and their interaction relationships. Finally, the associated experimental data were fitted by the least square minimization program, and the parameters in the fitting equation were dimensionless to obtain the correlative dimensionless equation. The purpose was to establish the mechanism model of the influence of the molding parameters on the co-injection self-reinforced sample and to objectively analyze its mechanism. It was found that the melt temperature is the most important factor affecting the morphology and mechanical properties. The highly oriented skin thickness is the most important factor in determining the tensile properties of the sample. The change in crystallinity is the most important factor in relation to the elastic modulus. Through the establishment of the relevant dimensionless equations, the theoretical study on the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the co-injection self-reinforced samples of the molding parameters was preliminarily realized.
Was the Sabbath Observed in Āl-Yāḫūdu in the Early Decades of the Babylonian Exile?
Authors: Bloch Yigal
Published: February 2020

The present note relates to a study by Oded Tammuz on concluding transactions on a Sabbath in Elephantine, Āl-Yāḫūdu and Bīt-Našar. The note points out that ignoring the Egyptian dates of the Elephantine papyri impairs Tammuz’s discussion, and calls into question his distinction between the alleged Judean-majority population of Āl-Yāḫūdu and Judean-minority population of Bīt-Našar. Also, the Julian dates of some tablets were miscalculated by Tammuz; the correct date of one Āl-Yāḫūdu tablet from Nabonidus’ reign falls on a Sabbath.
»Fossile Überreste des unreformierten Judentums in fernem Lande«?
Authors: Kratz Reinhard G.
Published: February 2020

Der Beitrag führt in die Archive der beiden judäischen Kolonien von Elephantine und Al-Yaḫudu ein und behandelt – im Anschluss an Julius Wellhausen – zwei Fragen: Erstens, ob die beiden Kolonien eine Art »unreformierten Judentums« repräsentieren, das von der Tora des Mose nichts wusste und von den Reformen des Josia, Esra und Nehemia unberührt war. Zweitens, ob es sich bei dieser Gestalt des Judentums nur um einen »fossilen Überrest« oder um eine lebendige Spezies handelt, die verbreiteter war, als die biblische Überlieferung uns Glauben machen möchte und auch die – auf dem biblischen Narrativ basierenden – modernen »Geschichten Israels« suggerieren.

Crímenes de odio por homofobia: la necesidad de su regulación como tipo penal autónomo en México
Authors: Rangel Romero Xochithl Guadalupe
Published: February 2020

La violación de derechos humanos a las personas que detentan una orientación y una preferencia de género es una realidad que el Estado mexicano ha dejado en el olvido. No sólo porque sus derechos humanos son vulnerados por las mismas instituciones mexicanas , en los tres ámbitos de gobierno, sino porque la sociedad también contribuye al fomento del no respeto de estos derechos. A tal grado que, se han detectado casos específicos en los que han sido privadas de la vida. Razón por la cual, es necesario que el Estado mexicano pondere sobre la necesidad real e inminente de su regulación penal en todo el territorio mexicano, a través de un tipo penal autónomo.

Igualdad política y acceso a la competencia electoral de candidatos independientes: el caso Jorge Castañeda Gutman
Authors: Sahui Maldonado Alejandro
Published: February 2020

El texto reflexiona en torno a la posición de la Corte Interamericana de De­rechos Humanos acerca de la igualdad en los derechos políticos de las personas que aspiran a contender en las elecciones como candidatos independientes de los partidos. No cabe duda de que en la mayoría de las democracias la gente desconfía de los partidos atribuyéndoles un distanciamiento de las personas y del interés público. Los partidos se han convertido en una élite que responde a intereses oligárquicos y de clase, refractarios de modo principal a individuos y grupos cuyas pretensiones pudieran poner en riesgo su hegemonía. En el marco de este tipo de críticas el derecho de las personas de acceder a la competencia electoral sin una postulación partidista queda en entredicho, pero también la oportunidad para el resto de los ciudadanos de contar con alternativas más plurales. En el caso Castañeda Gutman, sin embargo, la Corte sostuvo que no resulta contrario a la Convención, y que no atenta contra los derechos políticos, que cada país pueda deter­minar mediante su legislación electoral, las reglas de acceso a la competencia política, siempre que no sean excesivas o discriminatorias.
Violaciones al debido proceso en el procedimiento administrativo por contribuciones omitidas. Un análisis a luz de los derechos humanos
Authors: Aguado Romero Gabriela
Published: February 2020

Dentro del presente trabajo se realiza el análisis del procedimiento administrativo por contribuciones omitidas que prevé el artículo 152 de la Ley Aduanera, para demostrar que este procedimiento vulnera el derecho humano al debido proceso, previsto tanto en la Constitución Mexicana como en el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos. Esta violación se presenta cuando se soslaya el principio de legalidad, otorgando con esto un margen de discrecionalidad a favor de la autoridad aduanal en contra de la figura del contribuyente. Con lo anterior, se observa una falta de armonización para la protección de los derechos humanos ya que, a pesar de que la reforma constitucional de 2011 en materia de derechos humanos trae aparejada un cambio en la forma de interpretar la Constitución y los tratados internacionales de los que el Estado Mexicano sea parte, es evidente que la legislación secundaria aduanal obstaculiza el cumplimiento de este fin.

Dissecting Fertility Functions of Drosophila Y Chromosome Genes with CRISPR
Authors: Hafezi Yassi , Sruba Samantha R , Tarrash Steven R , Wolfner Mariana F , Clark Andrew G
Published: February 2020

Gene-poor, repeat-rich regions of the genome are poorly understood and have been understudied due to technical challenges and the misconception that they are degenerating “junk.” Yet multiple lines of evidence indicate these regions may be an important source of variation that could drive adaptation and species divergence, particularly through regulation of fertility. The ∼40 Mb Y chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster contains only 16 known protein-coding genes, and is highly repetitive and entirely heterochromatic. Most of the genes originated from duplication of autosomal genes and have reduced nonsynonymous substitution rates, suggesting functional constraint. We devised a genetic strategy for recovering and retaining stocks with sterile Y-linked mutations and combined it with CRISPR to create mutants with deletions that disrupt three Y-linked genes. Two genes, PRY and FDY, had no previously identified functions. We found that PRY mutant males are subfertile, but FDY mutant males had no detectable fertility defects. FDY, the newest known gene on the Y chromosome, may have fertility effects that are conditional or too subtle to detect. The third gene, CCY, had been predicted but never formally shown to be required for male fertility. CRISPR targeting and RNA interference of CCY caused male sterility. Surprisingly, however, our CCY mutants were sterile even in the presence of an extra wild-type Y chromosome, suggesting that perturbation of the Y chromosome can lead to dominant sterility. Our approach provides an important step toward understanding the complex functions of the Y chromosome and parsing which functions are accomplished by genes vs. repeat elements.
Issues in selecting profitability indicators for the evaluation of corporate financial performance
Authors: Savickas Vilius
Published: February 2020

The article analyses the selection of profitability indicators for the evaluation of corporate financial performance. Both theory and practice, address a variety of profitability indicators, therefore, it is essential to understand the possibilities of using the information they provide, as well as to be able to identify potential reasons of indicator value deviations, and to assess the conditions causing the analysis performed based on these indicators to provide incomplete or unreliable information. The aim of the study is to analyse the main profitability indicators, their potential disadvantages, and possible issues in the analysis and interpretation of these indicators. Methods of logical and comparative analysis of the scientific literature, synthesis and generalisation, statistical data analysis and interpretation were used in this article. The results of the analysis show that there is no universal profitability indicator, that would cover all areas of company performance, because profitability indicators’ reliability, as well as objectivity of comparison to other entities, are influenced by national accounting standards, different prime cost calculation methods, long-term assets depreciation methods, reserve assessment, and other methods.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Drivers and Future Station Planning
Authors: Kelley Scott , Kuby Michael , Jaramillo Oscar Lopez , Stotts Rhian , Krafft Aimee , Ruddell Darren
Published: February 2020

The market for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) continues to grow worldwide. At present, early adopters rely on a sparse refuelling infrastructure, and there is only limited knowledge about how they evaluate the geographic arrangement of stations when they decide to get an FCV, which is an important consideration for facilitating widespread FCV diffusion. To address this, we conducted several related studies based on surveys and interviews of early FCV adopters in California, USA, and a participatory geodesign workshop with hydrogen infrastructure planning stakeholders in Connecticut, USA. From this mixed-methods research project, we distil 15 high-level findings for planning hydrogen station infrastructure to encourage FCV adoption.
Sediment flushing from reservoirs: a review
Authors: Petkovšek Gregor , Roca Marta , Kitamura Yuichi
Published: February 2020

Sustainable use of natural resources is of great importance worldwide. For reservoirs, the loss of storage to sedimentation is a major challenge to their sustainable use. Several management options exist that can improve sustainability of reservoirs, one of them is the removal of the accumulated sediment by means of hydraulic flushing. Based on a comprehensive review of literature, this paper presents a review of factors related to feasibility of sediment flushing. These factors have been grouped into seven topics: availability of water for flushing and cost of flushing operations; timing of flushing; limitations posed by reservoir geometry, in particular the width of the reservoir and the presence of bends; the effects of sediment properties; sizing and positioning of evacuation outlets; downstream impacts of flushing and control of operation. For each topic, the technical and environmental issues that arise as well as ways to address them are presented. Some of the factors are competing, which further stresses the need for careful planning and evaluation of flushing operations.
Reinforcement of ancient floors by timber–concrete composite systems with collar connector
Authors: Faggiano Beatrice , Iovane Giacomo , Marzo Anna , Grippa Maria Rosaria , Calado Luis , Mazzolani Federico M.
Published: February 2020

Timber–concrete composite (TCC) systems have been successfully used in built heritage. They provide an efficient solution for improving the seismic response of masonry buildings in which timber floors are generally used. TCCs commonly consist of a thin concrete slab connected to the timber beams by connectors. The paper focuses on a steel collar connector, appropriately conceived for surrounding the timber beam, avoiding any drilling into the wood. It is composed of parts bolted at appropriate wings, with the superior one or purposely welded studs working as connectors. A rubber layer interposed between the collar and beam can both reduce damage to the beam surface and ensure the adaptability of the system to irregular surfaces if applied to existing beams. Friction at the wood–(rubber)–steel surface is guaranteed by bolt tightening. This paper describes the experimental and numerical research activity carried out. Monotonic push-out tests were performed on different types of collars, which allowed the evaluation of the system behaviour and failure modes, with the aim of system optimisation. Bending tests on either timber–concrete beams or a full-scale floor equipped with collar connectors were also performed. An application of the TCC system with collar connectors to a historical timber floor is briefly described.
Low-income resident displacement through regeneration: the case of Ayazma, Istanbul
Authors: Waite Imge Akcakaya
Published: February 2020

The literature on gentrification through urban regeneration tends to overlook its most alarming effect, displacement, particularly in low-income neighbourhoods and in the aftermath of the regeneration practice. The paper aims to analyse in depth the multiple facets of displacement and actors’ perceptions of it, in the context of a regeneration project involving informal housing and low-income residents in Ayazma, Istanbul. Through participant observation and in-depth interviews with the local municipality, the central government housing provider, non-governmental organisations and residents, the study determined that the displacement of residents can happen in multiple ways and on different timelines. The results show that although the formal actors recognised to an extent that displacement resulted in severe challenges for the local community, they viewed it as an intrinsic and/or inevitable pre-condition of successful regeneration schemes. On the contrary, the displaced residents suffered the consequences and felt increasingly neglected and antagonised by the government over the course of the project, leading to deeper issues of trust and isolation. The findings of the study can help the policymakers and practitioners of urban planning and related fields view gentrification and displacement in a new light and consider its various causes and effects.
The free maternal health policy: acceptability and satisfaction with quality of maternal health services during pregnancy in rural Northern Ghana
Authors: Dalinjong Philip Ayizem , Wang Alex Y , Homer Caroline SE
Published: February 2020

Introduction: Ghana introduced a maternal health policy in July 2008 to provide free of cost health services to women. However, the utilization of services does not depend on affordability alone but acceptability as well. Acceptability includes attitudes and behaviors of providers and satisfaction with the quality of care. The study explored women’s views and perceptions about attitudes and behaviors of providers and satisfaction with the quality of services under the free maternal health policy in Ghana. In addition, the views and perceptions of providers were examined.

Methods: A convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted. The study was carried out in the Kassena-Nankana Municipality in Ghana. A structured questionnaire was distributed among women (n=406) who utilized health facilities during pregnancy. Further, focus group discussions (FGDs) with women (n=10) and in-depth interviews with midwives and nurses (n=25) were held. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data were recorded, transcribed, read, and coded thematically.

Results: Women perceived facilities to be clean, especially the smaller ones. Ninety-eight percent of women (n=313/320) perceived providers to be respectful or friendly, and this was mostly confirmed in the FGDs. More than two-thirds of the women (74%, n=300) were also very satisfied or satisfied with the quality of care due to the respect accorded them by providers. Equally, midwives and nurses were satisfied with the quality of care they provided. Nonetheless, providers believed that the unavailability of drugs and supplies, laboratory services, accommodation, and transportation for emergencies reduced women’s satisfaction with services and the quality of care they could provide.

Conclusion: The services provided to women during pregnancy were acceptable under the free maternal health policy. There remain challenges in addressing a lack of infrastructure and commodities that affects the quality of care.

Zorganizowana część przedsiębiorstwa – definicja legalna ograniczająca nieostrość
Authors: Borszowski Paweł
Published: February 2020

One of the key legal definitions introduced into tax law, i.e. the definition of “an organised part of an enterprise”, was analysed in the study. It is an example of a definition under which a tax legislator expresses the tax consequences of business trading. According to the author, this legislative measure may be qualified as a legal definition limiting the imprecision in the provisions of tax law. The fulfilment of certain determinants becomes important for the construction of this definition, on the basis of which it should be constructed. The study specifies these determinants and shows that the tax legislator does not always use them when formulating the analysed definition. Therefore, in the article the author indicates solutions aimed at implementing these determinants.

AUTONOMOUSLY RIDING GOOGLE MAPS TO TRAVEL TO ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES: LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE
Authors: Kweldju Siusana
Published: February 2020

Abstract: All English Department students dream to visit English-speaking countries. One reason is that they want to practice their English to communicate with native speakers in real communication, and to immerse themselves into the English language-rich environment. However, only a small portion of students have the means and opportunity to do so. This paper will show how Google Maps can help students to virtually travel to English speaking countries and improve their English linguistically, pragmatically and interculturally. Actually, languages, including English, are available in public spaces and make up the linguistic landscape of a territory or a region, and linguistic landscape is potential for the teaching and learning of second and foreign languages. The linguistic element of signs is made creatively with clear, interesting, fresh and ready to understand English. They are valuable for learners to improve their English.
USING GEOSEMIOTIC APPROACH, LEARNERS CREATE FOR DEVELOPING MULTIMODAL COMPETENCIES: TASK-BASED
Authors: Kweldju Siusana
Published: February 2020

In the digital age, the notion of text has broadened to include digitally constructed multimodal texts. Meaning-making in everyday life is not only based on verbal language as the only mode, but also visual images. Students need more learning assignments and activities to develop their multimodal communication skills. To meet this need, a project utilizing linguistic landscape as a learning context is created for its rich multimodal representations. Task-based approach is adopted to facilitate a triple-track solution: improving students’ general English and display English proficiency, raising the students’ multimodal literacy, and developing their collaborative skill. The reason to employ task-based approach is because it strengthens the learners’ opportunity to do real-world-relevant projects to promote both their language acquisition and their collaborative skills. The project is completed when learners in teams give their presentations as their learning out comes.

Background: Appendectomy is one of the most commonly performed procedures in abdominal surgery and the laparoscopic approach is gradually replacing the conventional laparotomy for acute appendicitis.Methods: A total of 108 patients with acute appendicitis who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy at JLNM Hospital Srinagar over a period of five years were evaluated in terms of feasibility and safety of the procedure at the District level hospital. It was an observational study.Results: The age of the patient ranged between 16 and 43 years, with 68 males and 40 females. Most (76.85%) of the patients had un-ruptured inflamed appendix. The mean operative time was 43 minutes with no intra-operative complications. Two patients required conversion to open surgery. Mean duration of hospital stay was 1.7 days. Eight patients had post-operative complications which were managed conservatively.Conclusions: Laparoscopic appendectomy is safe and feasible in expert hands, and can be done using low cost, readily available basic laparoscopic instruments and suture materials at hospitals with limited facilities.

Published: February 2020

Background: Giant peptic ulcer perforation is a life-threatening surgical emergency with high mortality rate. This study compares two different surgical techniques omentopexy and omental plugging for the treatment of giant peptic perforation.Methods: This study was a prospective study comparing the efficacy of omental plugging and omentopexy. The study was done at Emergency Department of General Surgery in Nalanda Medical College and Hospital, Patna over one-year period from October 2017 to September 2018. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups: one for omental plugging (cases) and other for omentopexy (controls).Results: A prospective non-randomized study of 12 patients with giant peptic perforation (≥2 cm in diameter) was carried out over a period of 24 months. The highest incidence was seen in males over 50 years of age. Biliary leak rates were 33% in the omentopexy group compared to no leak in the omental plugging group. This rate when calculated on standard error of proportion was significant at 5% level (p<0.05). Mortality rate was higher in omentopexy group compared to omental plugging group.Conclusions: Omental plugging seems to be associated with low rates of biliary leak compared to omentopexy and hence should be the procedure of choice in giant peptic ulcer perforation compared to omentopexy.

Lipoma is a rare mesenchymal tumour of stomach (less than 1% of gastric tumours) to present as gastrointestinal bleed. We report a case of upper gastrointestinal bleed from a gastric lipoma in a 42 year male patient who underwent distal gastrectomy for resection of the large submucosal tumour situated in antropyloric region. Most common age of presentation of gastric lipoma is fifth or sixth decade of life and most of these are located in submucosal plane (90% cases) and in antropyloric region (75% cases). Gastric lipomas can be diagnosed by endoscopic means but most often with CT scan which shows characteristic fat attenuation. Small asymptomatic incidentally diagnosed can be safely observed while larger symptomatic tumours are treated by endoscopic or surgical resection which offers cure from this benign lesion.

Background: There are some common diseases found among the students of different areas in Bangladesh which are either communicable or non-communicable. Different infectious diseases occur due to lack of hygiene practice and non-infectious diseases are developed because of many irregular daily habits all over the world. Our aim was to evaluate the habit of practicing hygiene and other daily activities to observe their impacts on the health status among the students from different regions of Chattogram in Bangladesh.  

Methods: With ethical approval, questionnaire forms of daily habits/activities were filled up by 750 students of different educational institutions. The data were analysed afterwards.    

Results: Among the population of the study 89% (n=667) students were found to take regular bath; hand washing was regular among 32% (n=240) students, 54% (n=405) students were irregular in hand washing and the rests wash their hands rarely; on the other hand 41% (n=308) students consume street foods regularly; 38% (n=285) students wear eyeglasses due to weak sight; 23% (n=173) suffer from different skin diseases and 63% (n=473) students usually suffer from different gastro intestinal diseases.

Conclusions: Our results are not so frustrating, but also not so much good as majority of the students are fond of unhealthy street foods, don’t wash hands regularly and more than half of the students suffer from GI tract diseases with other health problems. It could be recommended that some daily habits including avoiding street foods, intake of sufficient drinking water and hygiene practices should be improved more.

Background: The aim was to describe our experience in management of pediatric subglottic stenosis and formulate a management scheme based on our experience.

Methods: A prospective study and follow-up was conducted in children diagnosed with subglottic stenosis (SGS) (both congenital and acquired) from January 2016 to January 2019 (36 months). We have proposed further subcategorization of each grade of SGS into mild and severe depending on absence or presence of the described “hard signs” respectively.  

Results: A total of 28 patients with SGS were identified. 8 had congenital while 20 had acquired SGS. There were 16 cases of grade II, 7 cases of grade III and 5 cases of grade I stenosis. None had grade 4 stenosis. Most common surgical intervention was microlaryngoscopy and bronchoscopy which had both diagnostic and therapeutic role (in conjunction with other intervention). Other interventions were balloon dilatation, combined laser and balloon dilatation, anterior cricoid split, laryngotracheal reconstruction and Partial cricotracheal resection. As of July 2019, overall recovery rate was 89.2% and decannulation rate was 81.2%. One patient succumbed to death due to because unrelated to SGS. Two patients are still under follow-up.

Conclusions: Number of procedures increases with increasing severity of stenosis. Further subcategorization of SGS as mild or severe guides in selecting endoscopic or open surgical management scheme. The type of procedure for each patient needs to be tailored according to requirement.

Background: Otitis media with effusion (OME) is defined as the presence of a middle ear effusion in the absence of infection. Fluid in the middle ear is associated most commonly with a conductive hearing loss and an increased risk of acute middle ear infection. It can have an impact on quality of life. The objective of our study was to assess symptomatology of OME, study complications following tympanostomy tube insertion in OME and to highlight the age, sex distribution of otitis media with effusion.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Dr. D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital, Pimpri, Pune from October 2017 to March 2019. 50 ears of patients aged between 6 to 50 years with OME were included in the study. All the patients were observed for symptomatology and postoperative complications who underwent Tympanostomy tube insertion.  

Results: OME is commoner in children and adolescents with no gender preponderance. The most common otoscopic findings pre-operatively included dull lustreless amber colored tympanic membrane in 56% (n=28), Retracted Tympanic Membrane and for shortened handle of malleus in 28% (n=14), air bubbles were seen in 12% (n=6) whereas fluid level was seen in 4% (n=2). Common complications post operatively included myringosclerosis and tympanic membrane atelectasis seen in 10% and 6% respectively.

Conclusions: Tympanostomy tube insertion is one of the ideal treatments in management of otitis media with effusion, most commonly affecting younger age groups, with fewer complications, which can lead to a better quality of life.
