War in Ukraine: peace-talking versus peace-making
Authors:   Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Political Studies (Kyiv). Visiting Researcher, Netherlands Institute of Advanced Studies, Riabchuk Mykola
Published: March 2023

As the Russo-Ukrainian war, initially predicted to last only a few days, drags into its second year, various calls for peace and negotiation proposals are coming from different corners – among the latest being the 12-point peace plan endorsed by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the symbolic date of February 24th, the first anniversary of Russia’s all-out invasion. Some of these calls might, as most Ukrainians believe, be mere smokescreens – tricks to discourage them from fighting and to give Moscow a much-needed break to regroup its forces, replenish resources and resume its military advance. But in most cases peacemakers are probably driven by a sincere desire to stop human suffering, bloodshed and the cruel destruction of an entire country. No piece of land, they believe, is worth human lives and terrible sacrifices. A bad peace is definitely better than a good war, and a “win-win” situation is always preferable to a zero-sum game.

La globalización es comprendida como un fenómeno que marca un sinnúmero de interconexiones de carácter social, político, económico, tecnológico, educativo, entre otras, que ha permitido abrir fronteras como un tipo de “espacio público” para la (re)construcción de mundo y la (inter)conexión entre diferentes actores a nivel local, regional, nacional y global. De ahí que, desde que el internet se ha ido expandiendo cada vez más a nivel mundial, y donde esta herramienta aloja un sinfín de datos e información de todos los ámbitos, ha sido fundamental para el desarrollo de servicios, productos, actividades; asimismo, ha permitido favorecer el avance de la sociedad en función del “estudio y acceso a la ciencia, la tecnología y la industria […] de la vida humana, la cultura, el comercio, las diversiones familiares y, por supuesto, la educación” (Morales Campos, 2004, p. 4)

Published: March 2023

Stereo Matching is one of the classical problems in computer vision for the extraction of 3D information but still controversial for accuracy and processing costs. The use of matching techniques and cost functions is crucial in the development of the disparity map. This paper presents a comparative study of six different stereo matching algorithms including Block Matching (BM), Block Matching with Dynamic Programming (BMDP), Belief Propagation (BP), Gradient Feature Matching (GF), Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and Fixed-Window Aggregated Cost (FWAC). In addition, three cost functions, namely, Mean Squared Error (MSE), Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD), and Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC) were utilized and compared. The stereo images used in this study were obtained from the Middlebury Stereo Datasets provided with perfect and imperfect calibrations. It was observed that the selection of matching function is quite important and also depends on the image properties. Results showed that the BP algorithm in most cases provided better results achieving accuracies over 95%. Accordingly, BP algorithm is highly recommended based on rapidity and performance and for applications with the need of detection of small details, HOG is advised.
Effect of Adding Nanofibers into Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) Oil on Oil Viscosity
Authors: GÖKŞEN Gülden
Published: March 2023

The significant effect of the addition of very small proportions of nanofibres and nano-particulates on the physical and mechanical properties of solid materials has been long observed and described. The effect of addition of electrospun fibres on the physical properties of liquid has not been so widely examined. In this paper, the effect of the addition of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), and zein nanofibers in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) oil on its viscosity was observed and quantified. For a given amount of material, a trend of increasing effectiveness was found as fibre diameter reduced. The addition of 0.01% (by mass) of fibre increased the kinematic viscosity of oil samples by 15%. The presence of fibre in oil was confirmed by light microscopy whilst the size of the fibres was measured by the analysis of scanning electron microscope images (SEM). This phenomenon of a low concentration of nanofibers significantly increasing viscosity may find practical applications as a foodstuff thickener.
The association between suicidal behaviour and violence, sexual abuse, and parental substance abuse among Sami and Greenlandic adolescents: the WBYG study and the NAAHS
Authors: Høilo Granheim Ida Pauline , Kvernmo Siv , Silviken Anne , Lytken Larsen Christina Viskum
Published: March 2023

Background

For young Indigenous people, suicide is one of the leading causes of death, and high rates in Arctic areas indicate serious health and societal concerns. More knowledge is needed, as suicidal behaviour predicts later death by suicide. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts and negative life events, including violence, sexual abuse, and parental substance abuse, in Sami and Greenlandic adolescents, within and between groups and gender.

Method

Working samples included 442 Sami and 399 Greenlandic Inuit (15–16-year-olds), in The Norwegian Arctic Adolescent Health Study (NAAHS) and the Well-Being among Youth in Greenland (WBYG) study. Multivariable logistic regression explored associations between suicidal behaviour and violence, sexual abuse, and parental substance abuse.

Results

Across Indigenous groups, suicidal thoughts and attempts were significantly associated with violence and sexual abuse. The association between suicidal behaviour; especially suicidal thoughts, and sexual abuse was significant and strong among Sami females. Sami and Inuit adolescents with a history of childhood violence reported significantly more suicide attempts; the strongest association was found among Sami males.

Conclusion

To Sami and Greenlandic Inuit, the experiences of negative life events, such as violence or sexual abuse are significant risk factors for suicidal behaviour. Public health programmes and prevention strategies targeting youth mental health and suicide should be culturally sensitive and sensitive to gender differences in the association between negative life events and suicidal behaviour.
On some peculiarities of parenthesis functioning in contemporary popular science texts (based on the English version of National Geographic)
Authors: Mikhalcheva A. V.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the study of contemporary English media texts from the point of view of functional syntactic peculiarities of its expressiveness, especially on the example of parenthesis as a means to influence the recipients. The domineering cognitive-discursive paradigm of text studies allows one to analyze media text from the point of its integral impact on the addressee. Contemporary mass media use different ways of influencing the readers, for example, television, radio, printed and electronic press, blogs and videoblogs. A special interest lies in the printed press, which uses integrated means of transmitting information, including references to Internet sources and TV shows. Despite using different ways of influencing the recipients, the key means of conveying author’s intentions is its syntactic organization. Due to different syntactic constructions authors of a media text can facilitate a topic disclosure, forming the readers’ opinion about a subject matter and the author of the text. A great role is played by parenthesis, which is widely used in popular science texts to explain terms, comment on certain events or sources of the information given in the article, clarify some information, etc. In the given article we analyze some functions of the parenthetic constructions on the example of the texts taken from the magazine National Geographic and unified by the topic «Science» in accordance with the author’s communicative intentions. Using continuing sampling method in choosing the examples conveying the category of expressivity, it was discovered that the domineering function of a parenthetical phrase in the analyzed texts is a comment, which serves as a means of representing an author’s point of view and adding information to the facts thus forming the readers’ opinion.

Subak Pangkung Jajung is a farmer group that participates in the Rice Farming Insurance program to protect farmers from the risk of crop failure that occurs in farming. The purpose of this study was to determine the behavior of farmers towards the AUTP program. This research was conducted from December 2020 to February 2021 in Subak Pangkung Jajung in Baler Bale Agung Village, Negara District, Jembrana Regency. The research sample amounted to 60 farmers with data collection methods through in-depth interviews and structured interviews (questionnaires), then analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed that the behavior of farmers who took part in the AUTP Program was quite good. The behavior of the farmers is formed on the condition of the behavioral components, namely the general knowledge of farmers about the AUTP program is high, farmers both have a very agreeable attitude towards the AUTP program, and the implementation of the AUTP program by farmers who follow the program is classified as good. Subak Pangkung Jajung farmers need to carry out persuasive counseling on the AUTP program to farmers who have not participated in the program, so that their knowledge and attitudes that are classified as good can continue to be real actions following the program. Provisions for claims from the AUTP Program related to the level of damage to farming businesses that receive compensation need to be reviewed. Where the damage rate of 75% is considered too high, so that farmers participating in the AUTP program are difficult to obtain compensation.
Kelimpahan dan Jenis Mikroplastik pada Sedimen Lamun di Perairan Nusa Dua, Bali
Authors: Silitonga Sartika Ristama , Hendrawan I Gede , Putra I Nyoman Giri
Published: March 2023

The Indonesian archipelago, especially Bali, has extensive coastline and marine waters. However, it is undeniable that some of these waters contain much plastic waste. Nusa Dua waters are located in the Bali Province area with many complex activities, ranging from port activities, water sports, tourism, restaurants, hotels, fishing activities, and others, so they have a high potential for plastic waste pollution. Plastic waste that floats in the ocean will degrade and become small debris called microplastics. Marine plastic debris is divided into several varieties based on size. It is called microplastic for those less than 5 millimeters in length; for those above 5 mm and up to 25 mm, it is mesoplastic. This study aimed to determine the abundance and types of microplastics found in Nusa Dua. This research was conducted in November-Desember 2021. Sampling was carried out in situ with the simple random sampling method of 400 grams of each sample at ten stations. Sediment sampling was carried out using a shovel. Then the ex-situ processing was carried out by drying wet sediment, weighing dry sediment, density separation, filtering, and visual sorting. The results showed that the seagrass sediments in Nusa Dua waters were contaminated with microplastic. Four types of microplastic were found: fragment, fiber/filament, film/soft plastic, and foam. As many as 17 particles fragment the type of microplastic that dominates. The dominant color is blue. The highest total abundance of microplastics was found at station 6, as much as 35.1 particles/kg with different densities of seagrass species at each station. The density of seagrass species itself reaches the range of 1.2 stands/m2
Parameterization of Turbulent Diffusivity using Gradient Descent
Authors: Pendergast Thomas
Published: March 2023

Fluid mixing and turbulent processes such as double diffusion are chaotic by nature and can be very difficult to parameterize. Experts have called for further investigation into parameterizing double diffusion and other vertical mixing processes for the implication that it may have on large-scale ocean and climate models. Interference from lateral flows and lateral mixing can often make field-data-driven parameterizations difficult and isolated experiments may have much more accurate results. By conducting isolated experiments which target a specific process, we can better quantify the effect that the individual process has. Using a variational method, the turbulent diffusivity associated with double diffusion can be parameterized by minimizing a cost function comparing a basic diffusion model to laboratory data.
We All Think Differently!
Authors: Hines Lily , Arminen Liz , Mienkowski Bridget
Published: March 2023

The purpose of our collaborative research is to examine how teachers can effectively accommodate the needs of neurodiverse students in mainstream classrooms. Neurodiversity refers to the idea that we all have unique ways of thinking and interpreting the world around us. It is an inclusive term meant to emphasize that differences are not deficits. This term is often used in the context of neurological, behavioral and developmental conditions. Recent studies suggest that the number of people diagnosed with ADHD have increased 4.1% and autism diagnoses have increased ninefold (Abdelnour et al., 2022). This increase clearly highlights the need for increased teacher education in this field. Our findings have identified numerous strategies to help teachers support the needs of neurodiverse students. Some of these strategies include presenting information in smaller chunks, diversifying teaching methods, and implementing different levels of support in the classroom in order to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. Other supports for neurodiverse students include individualized education programs. These documents enable teachers and students to collaborate in developing effective learning plans. Through establishing a student's individual strengths, weaknesses, needs and goals, teachers can effectively support their learning in the classroom. Further research on this topic could explore changes to curricula and teacher education that would better support the needs of all students. Our recommendations aim to help educators provide superior and equitable support to all students throughout their academic careers.
Amia Srinivasan’s Feminist Analysis of Pornography
Authors: Wilson Summer
Published: March 2023

My research will focus on Amia Srinivasan's political and cultural characterization of sex. In her 2021 book The Right to Sex, she asks about how we should talk about sex and what is sexual justice and sexual politics. Specifically, I will be looking at her philosophizing on pornography, the idea of societally imposed sexual inclusion, and sexual relationships as depicted in pornography. The specific essay where she discusses this is Talking to my Students about Pornography. However, I will also examine some of the other essays in the book (The Right To Sex, On Not Sleeping with Your Students, and Sex, Carceralism, Capitalism) as I believe these essays contain overlapping ideas on feminism and connect to her analysis of pornography in significant ways. I will also look into any follow-up to the publication of her essays, such as interviews about the book or further comments to ensure that I am working with the most recent and accurate depiction of her opinions. 
There is a lot of formal academic response to her book, likely because of how new and popular the publication is. I will focus my research on papers that review her work, and how they critique her viewpoints or agree with them. Particularly I am looking at responses by Judith Butler, Maggie Doherty, Kathleen Stock, Elaine Blair, James H. Lewis, Khaleel Rajwani, and others whom I may come across in my research. I think doing so would show how others engage with her work and how her work fits within the existing feminist literature. Also, I will research deeper into the authors she has mentioned directly in her essays, such as Catherine A. Mikkinon, Jane Gallop, Freud, etc.., to better understand their views. All of this is to help create a contextual and comprehensive account of Srinivasan’s feminist characterization of sex and pornography in the twenty-first century. 
The significance of this study is to better understand recent progress in gender relations and power dynamics in the politics of the twentieth century. Srinivasan’s work is important because it is both relevant and grounded in the philosophical discipline; she writes about the ideas of past philosophers and the unique culture of our time simultaneously. The study will be in presentation format, with an extensive poster and script.
Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus" and the Visual Politics of Desirability
Authors: Bruno-McKinney Alexis
Published: March 2023

This project examines three contemporary re-creations of Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, exploring how modern depictions of the same image and story return to and change Botticelli’s vision. I juxtapose the fifteenth-century painting with three contemporary re-creations: Larry Moss’ Birth of Venus in Arigami (2009), Lady Gaga’s Applause music video (2013), and David LaChapelle’s The Rebirth of Venus photograph (2019). Venus has timeless status as an icon of beauty and desirability, but she changes over time in art.
The original was created during the eruption of humanistic culture in the Early Renaissance and had  radical and controversial influence.[1] The Renaissance saw a rise in ideas about religion, politics, and science, that influenced artists to push the boundaries of representability by seeing the body for visual pleasure.[2] Due to the authority of the church, the nude or partially nude body was subject to censorship, and erasure. Many artworks, including some by Botticelli, were confiscated or destroyed because they were considered obscene.[3]
Botticelli’s painting was a private commission as the subject matter was controversial. It hung above the bed of wealthy statesman Lorenzo de’ Medici.[4] Now the original is accessible in public space, as are re-creations of the original, as the politics of representability have changed. Censorship of the female body still exists, but the boundaries of nudity continue to be pushed and moved in art, and in public discourses about art.

The IMPACT Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Subhani Anwar
Published: March 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated socioeconomic deficiencies within Canada's immigrant populations, yet the difference between immigrants from countries with similar language and resources (such as the US) and those from a different background (non-US countries) is not well understood. Accordingly, the IMPACT study at the centre of this article included a Canadian national survey that compared key domains of life in US immigrants with non-US immigrants to provide policymakers with a research-based path toward delivering culturally targeted and socially competent services.

Methods: Potential participants were recruited from newcomer support services centers to complete the IMPACT survey which assess participants' self-perceived impacts of COVID-19 on various socioeconomic markers. For each socioeconomic variable, we analyzed the experiential differences between US vs non-US immigrant subgroups. 

Results: On average, non-US immigrants in Canada were less likely to disclose their COVID-19 health status; this trend was correlated with reported concerns over discontinuation of one’s income. Qualitative themes within the non-US immigrant subgroup elucidated a mentality of “making it on [one’s]own”, and consequently, a reluctance to seek out external resources. Surprisingly, the US immigrant subgroup was subject to a comparatively greater post-pandemic decrease in socioeconomic well-being, resulting in proportionally greater food and financial insecurities than non-US immigrants. 

Conclusion: The study highlighted two key findings: (1) US immigrants faced a proportionally increased instability of their socioeconomic well-being; whilst (2) non-US immigrants faced greater social and intrapersonal barriers to external supports and experienced a greater incidence of COVID-19 infections, likely resulting from this cohorts reluctance to miss employment income.
Soil Properties of Abandoned Vineyards
Authors: Dodd Mackensie
Published: March 2023

The abandonment of vineyards has shown to change the soil properties and structure. The analysis of vineyards in the Castilla y Leon region in northern Spain and the soil properties of specific points in the regions demonstrate that there is a change after abandonment of vineyard land. Historical data has shown that there has been observed changes in the soil and the hydrological properties in the soil after a vineyard has been abandoned (Vazquez-Blanco, 2022). Comparisons made between active vineyards and those that have been abandoned show some contrasts between each in the collected soil data and how the land use and land cover has changed (ESDAC, 2022). Additionally, the determination of why the vineyards were abandoned by the production yield and if the vineyards were abandoned due to economic reasons or if climatic changes caused for the land to be deem unsuitable for vineyard occupation. The purpose of this report is to show that soil properties and soil structure is altered in an area after vineyards are abandoned and the land is no longer cultivated. The comparisons of active vineyards and vineyards that are now abandoned provide for the stark differences to be observed.
Streaming And Inclusivity
Authors: Bartels Alexa , Westrik Hannah , Luo Sarah , Gardner Emma , Braat Isabelle
Published: March 2023

The purpose of our collaborative research is to explore the most significant ways in which streaming in high schools inhibit inclusivity. The negative impacts of streaming include: unequal career, educational, and life opportunities for Applied and Academic stream students; (Ontario Educators, 2023); social hierarchies/divisions (Hallan & Ireson, 2006); differences in mental health supports; and inequitable intellectual expectations based on race, gender, and socioeconomic position (Barry et al., 2022). Findings suggest that educators can improve experiences of student inclusivity in high schools by emphasizing the focus on the learning setting and student needs rather than on streams. Teacher Education programs can emphasize cultural competence and differentiated instruction. Governments can continue to dismantle streams by developing new accessible and inclusive curricula and utilizing a variety of accessible assessment approaches to dismantle systemic discrimination of streaming that marginalizes Black, Indigenous, racialized, low-income, disabled, and special needs students.
A Review on the Appropriate Dosage of Aspirin as a Prophylactic Agent Against Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasties
Authors: Khan Fawwaz , Alhasan Khulood
Published: March 2023

Guidelines regarding Deep Vein Thrombosis prophylaxis following total knee arthroplasties have had conflicting information regarding the use of aspirin as a prophylactic agent in recent years. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence refrains from listing the drug in its guidelines while the American College of Chest Physicians advocates for the drug. Despite the conflicting guidelines, physicians have favored the drug in recent years, with more than 80% utilizing it as a prophylactic agent in total knee arthroplasties. Although a consensus may have been reached by physicians regarding the use of the drug, a consensus has not been reached regarding the preferred dosage. With this in mind, a search of the PubMed database was conducted which yielded six studies that discussed the efficacy of various dose ranges of aspirin. All studies corroborated that not only was aspirin an effective prophylactic agent, but that there was no significant difference between dosages regarding efficacies. Due to factors such as aspirin resistance and the potential of aspirin to cause gastrointestinal injuries, this literature review concludes that the dosage of aspirin given for the prophylaxis of DVT in TKAs should be considered on a patient to patient basis.

Background: Misinformation and disinformation perpetuate negative stereotypes, reinforce prejudice and lead to racially motivated discrimination. As displayed in post-secondary institutions worldwide, white-centric perspectives are primarily embedded in school cultures and systems. Such racial aggressions produce ‘racial battle fatigue,’ creating physiological, physiological, and behavioural stress for the recipient. Virtual simulation is proposed as an educational strategy for learners to identify racism in an academic setting and develop allyship for equity-seeking groups. This poster aims to advocate the use of virtual simulation to improve the overall educational experience by highlighting the voices of diverse students and educators.
Methods: Our team developed a pre-learning simulation consisting of five short scenes depicting racially discriminatory acts. It highlights the urgency to discontinue the term 'microaggression'. A longer simulation was developed in which a racially discriminatory act is depicted, with a bystander present. This longer simulation allows participants to adopt the role of a bystander and use the ARISE model to ally with the BIPOC community in addressing racism (overt and covert racism). The ARISE model encompasses five key elements: awareness, responding with empathy, inquiring about facts, using "I" statements, and educating and engaging.
Intended Outcomes: We seek to provide information regarding racial inequities in higher education curriculum by: (1) illustrating how racism affects people in their learning environment, (2) demonstrating how bystanders might apply the ARISE model to help a person experiencing racism in an educational setting, and (3) learning how to be an ally.

Kedai Lengghian is one of the culinary businesses that has not applied technology to support its business processes. In the era of globalization, information technology is developing rapidly, allowing for business development. The development of information technology has an impact on the tight competition in the culinary business. Researchers provide solutions so that the managers and employees of Kedai Lengghian can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of business processes there. This is done by analyzing and designing a website-based information system that can later help implement system creation. Before creating an information system that suits the needs of its users, it is necessary to analyze and design software. Researchers use the Iconix Process method because the concept of building a system that is run focuses on the needs of its users. The Iconix Process has four stages: requirement, analysis, preliminary design, detailed design, and implementation. Kedai Lenghian can use information system technology to become a reference at the level of system implementation. In addition, this website-based information system is expected to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the store's business processes and become an attraction for Kedai Lengghian consumers. The result of Website Analysis and Design Using the Iconix process is an object-oriented design that can then be coded. Also, its produced UML design gives Kedai Lengghian a picture of website making based on user needs, system needs, and system design.

The AFF Cup is a football competition organized by the ASEAN Football Federation, or AFF for short. The 2020 AFF Cup was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Indonesian National Team advanced to the final round and became runner-up in the championship. With the end of the championship and the Indonesian National Team having to accept defeat in the final, the public responded through tweets on Twitter. Through these tweets, it will be known how the public evaluates the performance of the Indonesian National Team in the 2020 AFF Cup. It is vital to carry out this research to obtain information regarding society's response. The research that will be conducted is sentiment analysis. Sentiment analysis will be carried out on Rapid Miner software, with the algorithms used being Naïve Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor. The data used to perform sentiment analysis are tweets from Twitter taken using SNScrape. This research aims to analyze public responses to the Indonesian National Team in the 2020 AFF Cup. This research will determine the percentage of positive, neutral, and negative sentiments from public responses. So that later it can be concluded how the public responds to the Indonesian National Team, whether positive, neutral, or negative. It is also to find out which algorithm has the higher accuracy. The results obtained for Naive Bayes with an accuracy of 64.74% are 71.54% positive sentiment, 15.45% neutral sentiment, and 13.01% negative sentiment. For K-Nearest Neighbor, with an accuracy of 65.64% is 80.49% positive sentiment, 15.45% neutral sentiment, and 4.06% negative sentiment. Both algorithms have the highest accuracy compared to other algorithms in Rapid Miner when the sentiment analysis is performed, with K-Nearest Neighbor having slightly higher accuracy. Most tweets about the Indonesian National Team in the 2020 AFF Cup had positive sentiments. Based on these results, it can be concluded that even though the Indonesian National Team did not win the 2020 AFF Cup, the public still responded positively.
Noise Reduction on a Model Helicopter Rotor Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasma Actuators
Authors: Polonsky Dor , Stalnov Oksana , Greenblatt David
Published: March 2023

Noise reduction was studied on a model helicopter rotor using pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators mounted at the blades’ leading edges. The evaluation was performed in a fully anechoic chamber, where thrust and torque were measured concurrently with the acoustic signature using an array of 15 microphones. Acoustic measurements were made for both baseline and actuated cases at a fixed collective pitch angle under conditions of constant thrust. Actuation produced broadband and tonal noise reductions of up to 8 and 3 dB, respectively, while simultaneously increasing the rotor figure of merit by 25%. Broadband noise reductions were due to control of the otherwise separated boundary layer, resulting in smaller and weaker turbulent eddies in the wake and the tip-vortex and, therefore, smaller turbulent surface pressure fluctuations. Noise reduction directivity associated with the blade passing frequency of up to 3 dB was consistent with rotational noise theory. At most of the observer angles, both the plasma pulsation and ionization frequencies were not visible in the spectra above the motor self-noise signature. Peaks in the second harmonic were observed at specific observer angles and were assumed to be due to the geometric mounting of the actuator and amplification of the pulsations in the laminar separation bubble.
