Nieuw leven voor oude industriesteden?
Authors: Verhoeff René
Published: June 2019

Als je twintig jaar geleden aan een stadsbestuur of een Kamer van Koophandel vertelde dat een stad zou moeten investeren in een balletgezelschap in plaats van het in leven houden van de lokale scheepsbouw of staalindustrie, kreeg je waarschijnlijk hoongelach en onbegrip als respons. Toch geldt Birmingham anno 1999 als één van de schoolvoorbeelden van een stad met een nieuw leven door kunst en cultuur.

The conflation of motives of science communication — causes, consequences, remedies
Authors: Weingart Peter , Joubert Marina
Published: June 2019

We explore and discuss the diverse motives that drive science communication, pointing out that political motives are the major driving force behind most science communication programmes including so-called public engagement with science with the result that educational and promotional objectives are blurred and science communication activities are rarely evaluated meaningfully. Since this conflation of motives of science communication and the gap between political rhetoric and science communication practice could threaten the credibility of science, we argue for the restoration of a crucial distinction between two types of science communication: educational/dialogic vs promotional/persuasive.
Barriers to inclusive deliberation and democratic governance of genetic technologies at the science-policy interface
Authors: Taylor Cynthia , Dewsbury Bryan
Published: June 2019

Advances in 21st century genetic technologies offer new directions for addressing public health and environmental challenges, yet raise important social and ethical questions. Though the need for inclusive deliberation is widely recognized, institutionalized risk definitions, regulation standards, and imaginations of publics pose obstacles to democratic participation and engagement. This paper traces how the problematic precedents set by the 1975 Asilomar Conference emerge in contemporary discussions on CRISPR, and draws from a recent controversy surrounding field trial releases of genetically modified mosquitoes to explicate the ways in which these precedents undermine efforts to engage publics in decisions at the science-policy interface.
The body within the clothes
Authors: Julia Valle-Noronha
Published: June 2019

Observing dress practices as a field of research is a recent phenomena in exponential growth in which the voice of the designer is often left aside. Aware of this gap, this study dives into the experience of dressing and wearing in search for understanding the ways in which the body materiality is involved in the designer’s creative processes. It explores this inquiry through two path-dependent projects investigated as case studies, namely Dress(v.) and Wear\Wear. The projects make use of auto-ethnographic notations about my personal routine of dressing and wearing to inform the creation of flat patterns for clothes via creative pattern cutting method. Adopting of practice-led research stream via a phenomenological approach to data, the interpretation leads to a further understanding on how the designer’s subjective body is manifest in the design processes and outcomes. The work contributes to the design community by presenting ways in which research methods can inspire design methods, investigated from a practitioner viewpoint. It concludes with suggestions for future collaborations between academic research and design practice in the context of fashion design.

Note to the reader: This exposition is a reworked version of the paper "The Body within the Clothes: A case study on clothing design practice from a practitioner viewpoint" presented at the Art of Research 2017 Conference".
THE BLACK MANA AND THE EVIL SPIRIT OF THE COBBLESTONES
Authors: Gian Luigi Biagini
Published: June 2019

This hyperstitional text describes the Disturbanist practice of the Anartist, that consists in subversive urban interventions on the edge of politics and counter-sorcery. Drawing on the theory of post-structuralist philosophers, it focuses particularly on artworks made with black cobblestones. This material, taken as symbolic concentrate of "black mana", evil spirits and spectral antagonist mythology is remodulated in provocative installations and interventions. The text shows also how the intensification of repetition of gestures, materials, symbols and forms can generate a singular territory-refrain based on a transpersona that - at its hyperstitional limit-unfolding - could resist, infect and counter-attack the Integrated Spectacle of Capitalism.
Body Weathering - poetic nebular intentions
Authors: Anna Maria Orru
Published: June 2019

Weather is not an object experienced from a distance, but rather a medium in which every living being is immersed. This weather reporting views clouds as 'containers of possibility,' as an infrastructure for thinking about the body as a vibrant, experiential and living matter to reinforce a direct relation to nature - merging land and sky. Because environmental commitments are complex, I enter the challenge through exploring embodied modes of inquiry into urban-making using a corporeal relation to clouds and atmosphere, exploring their common materiality through a day's workshop culminating into a performance (modes expressed as intermissions). The artistic research is grounded in a Butoh choreography practice called Body Weather, performing fabulations with clouds supported by theoretical roots in corporeal studies, vibrant materialities, environmental imagining, atmospheres and assembled relations. I engage with the question of how to curate a corporeal poetics in urban-making with clouds in mind, and what if bodily movements created atmospheres to ecologically live by? My intent is to cultivate an artistic embodied approach to urban-making, thinking through clouds and embracing the body as a refined medium for generating a poethic -poetic, political and ethical - entangle with space.
Using wool’s agency to design and make felted artefacts
Authors: Bilge Merve Aktaş
Published: June 2019

This exposition presents an explorative project that examines employing material as a reference point for designing and making an artefact. The material’s effects on designing and making have been elaborated upon from many angles. This exposition also examines how material affects designing and making processes from the perspective of material agency. This study argues that by observing a material’s behaviour from the perspective of agency, one can genuinely understand what the material does, and accordingly can find ways to collaborate with it in the process of designing and making artefacts. The discussion is articulated through a designer’s project in felting by employing a practice-led research approach that examined the decision-making processes through written reflections and visual documentation. This examination suggests that by including material as a reference point, design and making can reflect the ecology of the material in a way that combines human power with the activeness of the material.
Searching for Catalysts in the Practice of Drawing
Authors: Tero Heikkinen
Published: June 2019

In this exposition, I discuss my recent exploratory drawing practice, with a background in design drawing. I have chosen to study and understand three-dimensional forms through drawing. Animation is looked at as a catalyst with which the forms and the task become better understood. I am looking at the alternation or tension between these ends: lines and shapes, still images and animations, while designing the shape of a hand and discussing what it is to know the shape of an object for the purposes of drawing.

Catorce vocales del andaluz oriental: producción y percepción de /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/ y /u/en posición final y ante /-s/, /-r/ y /-θ/ subyacentes en Almería
Authors: Herrero de Haro Alfredo
Published: June 2019

El presente artículo investiga los efectos de la apócope de /-s/, /-r/ y /-θ/ en las vocales precedentes. Para esto, se analiza 60 hablantes de andaluz oriental y se realiza, además, un experimento de percepción, lo que confirma que 1) la apócope de /-s/, /-r/ y /-θ/ cambia la calidad de las vocales precedentes en distinto grado ─de ahí que se esté en condiciones de discernir entre 14 vocales distintas─ y que 2) los hablantes de andaluz oriental pueden identificar, por un lado, sin ayuda ninguna del contexto, si una vocal va seguida o no de una consonante subyacente y, por otro, reconocer nueve vocales distintas.
Las Consideraciones sobre el Testamento Nuevo atribuidas a Quevedo: identificación de la obra y autoría
Authors: Alonso Veloso María José
Published: June 2019

Este artículo propone reconsiderar la identificación y autoría de las Consideraciones sobre el Testamento Nuevo atribuidas a Quevedo. Desde la edición de Astrana se asume que la obra perdida así titulada es la que configuró con textos de un manuscrito, supuesto testimonio único. Un estudio del códice revela que la edición se aparta de su texto base con dos manipulaciones: añade el título de la obra perdida y configura una obra única, fundiendo textos independientes. El análisis abarca el contenido y las relaciones con géneros de la oratoria sagrada, así como el estilo. Se concluyen la inexistencia de argumentos textuales fehacientes para asignar a los textos el título de la obra perdida y la atribución insegura.
Raquel Sánchez, Mediación y transferencias culturales en la España de Isabel II: Eugenio de Ochoa y las letras europeas. Iberoamericana-Vervuert, Madrid-Frankfurt/M., 2017; 398 pp.
Authors: Rivas Velázquez Alejandro
Published: June 2019

En 1966, la Universidad de California publicó el libro de Donald Allen Randolph Eugenio de Ochoa y el Romanticismo español. Se trataba del primer estudio dedicado a la vida y obra de ese escritor, cuyo nombre solía aparecer sólo en enciclopedias y en obras de carácter general o dedicadas a detallar algunas de las empresas editoriales que realizó. Pero, en general, era lo que se suele llamar un escritor olvidado. El mismo Randolph se pregunta antes de entrar en materia: “¿Por qué interesarnos en una figura secundaria del siglo xix?”. Su respuesta es que, aunque la obra de Ochoa es “inferior” a la de autores como Larra, Espronceda o el Duque de Rivas, su estudio “puede darnos… una aguda visión del espíritu de su tiempo” (p. vii).

Extraction from Moist Snuff with Artificial Saliva of Benzo[a]pyrene and Other Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
Authors: Moldoveanu Serban C. , Marshall Jerry W. , Poole Thomas H.
Published: June 2019

The present study evaluated in vitro extractability of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from moist snuff, when the extracting agent was water or artificial saliva. The extraction was performed on nine brands of moist snuff samples that are commercially available and were purchased from the market in January 2018. The moist snuff brands were selected to represent brands with different tobacco cut size descriptors and flavors. For the measurement of PAHs, two different analytical methods were used, an HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) method for measuring only benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and a GC/MS/MS (Gas Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry) method for measuring 21 PAHs (including BaP). These methods were modifications of preexistent methods reported in the literature. The results for BaP indicated that by extracting 500 mg of freeze-dried moist snuff with 6 portions of 20 mL water (120 mL), or with 4 portions of 20 mL artificial saliva, followed by two portions of 20 mL water, the BaP remains close to 100% in the solid material and it is not detected in the extracting solution. PAHs with a molecular weight similar or heavier than BaP also showed no extractability. Lighter PAHs such as fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, and 5-methylanthracene showed a relatively good extractability. An intermediate group including fluoranthene, pyrene, and benz[a]anthracene showed some extractability in the conditions of this in vitro experiment. This study is not a substitute for clinical studies regarding PAH uptake in human users of moist snuff. However, the results indicate very limited bioavailability of BaP and heavier PAHs from moist snuff. Higher, but variable bioavailability was indicated for lighter PAHs. Important implications of these findings are that: 1) measurably different BaP content of two moist snuff products is unlikely to result in any meaningfully different consumer exposure to BaP; and 2) biomarkers for one PAH cannot necessarily be used as a reliable indicator of exposure to another PAH, particularly if the molecular weights of the precursor PAHs differ since their bioavailabilities can be very different.

Use of Interactive Whiteboard in Teaching Mathematics for Sustainability and its Effect on the Role of Teacher
Authors: Kutluca Tamer , Yalman Murat , Tum Ali
Published: June 2019

As interactive whiteboards have been used recently in secondary schools for sustainability, this study on use of interactive whiteboards is considered to be very important in terms of knowing the effects of interactive whiteboards on mathematics lessons, determining the perspectives of teachers as users of the system and increasing the efficiency of the attempts related to the use of interactive whiteboards. In this respect, the purpose of the study was to investigate the use of interactive whiteboard in teaching mathematics for sustainability and to examine its effects on the role of teachers. The qualitative research approach was adopted in the study as it tried to conduct a deep analysis of a situation. The study was conducted with eight secondary school mathematics teachers working in the province of Adiyaman in Turkey. The research data were collected using a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. Each interview lasted in a period of time ranging from 8 to 14 minutes. The data collected in the study were analyzed using descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach. In the study, the data were interpreted considering the following themes: “The changes created by interactive whiteboards in the process of teaching mathematics”, “The facilities provided by the system for mathematics teachers”, “The effects of using interactive whiteboards in teaching mathematics on the role of teachers”, “The preparations for using interactive whiteboards in teaching mathematics” and “Use of computer software with interactive whiteboards in teaching mathematics”. The results obtained in the study revealed that the teachers were not sufficiently informed or directed regarding the use of whiteboards in teaching mathematics or provided with in-service training support which they needed in relation to the use of interactive whiteboards especially in teaching mathematics. Current role of teachers existing in accordance with the constructivist educational approach has not changed with the use of interactive whiteboards in teaching mathematics, but this role has only become stronger. Furthermore, it was found that interactive whiteboards in mathematics classes are generally used for mathematical exercises.
Different approaches to the relationship of life & death (review of articles)
Authors: Gluchman Martin
Published: June 2019

The paper presents different approaches to the relationship of life and death among selected authors as a review of their articles within the last volume of the Ethics & Bioethics (in Central Europe) journal. The resource of the review is an article by Peter Singer The challenge of brain death for the sanctity of life ethics. Firstly, I try to analyze the issue when death occurs and when we can talk about death as a phenomenon that each and every living human being must come to terms within the course of their lives. Ethics of social consequences is used to analyze different approaches and states a conclusion defending the principles of humanity and human dignity within the scope of this ethical theory applied to various problem cases. I strive to support the question of the quality of life through the paternalistic approach of physicians influenced by their humane and dignified understanding of their relationship towards the patients. Ethics of social consequences offers many solutions to the discussed issues throughout the reviewed articles.
International cooperation in research and development of Artificial Intelligence – publication and patent activity
Authors: Kučera Zdeněk , Vondrák Tomáš
Published: June 2019

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the dynamically evolving research fields on the global scale. The world production of publication associated with the AI field increased by a third over the four-year period 2013–2017. Even less research intensive countries as Iran, Turkey, India and Indonesia appear to increase the share of the AI topics in their publication output. In the Czech Republic the fraction of publications in the AI field increased by approximately 10 % over this period. It makes the lowest increase within the EU/EEA. The field normalized citation index of the Czech publications in the year 2016 was above the world average but it is deeply below the top countries USA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore, and Norway.

The extent of international cooperation in AI is generally below the world average. The Czech Republic falls into the group of less cooperating countries. The countries exhibiting the highest growth in AI research are underrepresented in the Czech cooperation portfolio. The fraction of Czech publications in AI coauthored by foreign authors is lower than the national average. It indicates a lower international collaboration in comparison with other research fields. CR falls also in the group of countries less engaged in the international cooperation. The Czech international collaboration misses the countries exhibiting the most vigorous R&D in AI. The international collaboration adds to the quality of the research. The Czech publications originating from the international collaboration are cited above the country average for the AI field. It is even more significant in the collaboration with researchers from the top countries in the AI R&D.

The patent activity in the AI field has grown significantly in recent years. There is a marked increase of patent applications having inventors/applicants from more than one country. It indicates that the applied R&D in AI has a more international character in comparison with other technology fields. A high intensity of collaboration in the authorship of patent applications is within language and geographically neighbouring countries and with countries having a highly internationalized R&D system. Multinational corporations involved in international innovation networks contribute also to the international cooperation. ICT corporations like IBM, Google, or Microsoft which often employ foreign researchers have a dominant role in international cooperation.

The R&D of the Czech enterprises is relatively closed to the international cooperation. Domestic enterprises in AI use foreign employees in a small extent. The domestic enterprises even do not tap into the pool of intellectual property authored by the Czech researchers. The majority of patents with participation of Czech inventors is registered by foreign corporations.
Node2vec Representation for Clustering Journals and as A Possible Measure of Diversity
Authors: Shen Zhesi , Chen Fuyou , Yang Liying , Wu Jinshan
Published: June 2019

Purpose

To investigate the effectiveness of using node2vec on journal citation networks to represent journals as vectors for tasks such as clustering, science mapping, and journal diversity measure.

Design/methodology/approach

Node2vec is used in a journal citation network to generate journal vector representations.

Findings

1. Journals are clustered based on the node2vec trained vectors to form a science map. 2. The norm of the vector can be seen as an indicator of the diversity of journals. 3. Using node2vec trained journal vectors to determine the Rao-Stirling diversity measure leads to a better measure of diversity than that of direct citation vectors.

Research limitations

All analyses use citation data and only focus on the journal level.

Practical implications

Node2vec trained journal vectors embed rich information about journals, can be used to form a science map and may generate better values of journal diversity measures.

Originality/value

The effectiveness of node2vec in scientometric analysis is tested. Possible indicators for journal diversity measure are presented.

Published: June 2019

Nigeria has been unable to develop a viable ship building industry over the years notwithstanding several efforts of government at achieving that. The study aimed to identify and determine the principal component constraints to ship building development in Nigeria. Adopting the theory of constraint approach, survey research design was used in which primary data were obtained from questionnaire responses from employees and management staff of shipyards in the ship building clusters in Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Warri. The data collected were analyzed using principal component factor analysis, analysis of variance and pie-chart. It was found that the principal component constraints to the development of the ship building sector in Nigeria include financial constraint with Eigen value of 31.23%, infrastructural constraint with Eigenvalue of 26.35% and poor skill and technical know-how with Eigen value of 16.23%. This implies that financial constraints, poor skill and lack of technical know-how and infrastructural constraints contribute a cumulative Eigen value of 74.259% and thus constitute the dominant constraints impeding the performance of ship yards, ship building and repair sector in Nigeria. Development of national ship building and dry-docking funding scheme, ship building research and training center among other things were recommended.
Social Media: Factor Influencing Personal Transport for Leisure
Authors: Zainul Mohammad , Zamrudi Zakky
Published: June 2019

This paper is trying to examine the effect of social media in the use of personal transport for leisure purposes. Youngster are frequently identified as being adventurous and highly mobile, even few researcher modes of transportation choices play in important role in enhancing and fulfilling their desired experiences. In this paper, we would like to know the role of social media in enhancing the personal transport desire in south-east Kalimantan. Social media role is measured by borrowing the theory of technology acceptance model by using two variables namely perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. A quantitative method was used to measure the variable by using questionnaire given to 230 respondents given to university student near south-east Kalimantan. The gathered data is analyzed by using generalized structured component analysis. The finding in this research indicates that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of social media could affect individual intention to use personal transport. However, the larger effect has reflected by perceived usefulness. This means that social media has been recognized as a good reference to stimulate leisure by using personal transport.

Firm Financial Status and Investment Behaviour: Evidence from Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria
Authors: Aminu Alarudeen , Raifu Isiaka Akande
Published: June 2019

The study examines firm’s investment behaviour sensitivity to cash flow before, during and after the recent global financial crisis using the data of 28 firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Market during the period from 2001 to 2012. The contribution of the study to the existing literature rests on using financial crisis as basis for classifying firms as either financially constrained or unconstrained. Employing the panel data and instrumental variable estimation techniques, the study finds that firms’ investment behaviour sensitivity to cash flow was higher during the financial crisis than before or after the financial crisis. In other words, Nigerian firms were highly financially constrained during the last financial crisis.

Published: June 2019

Social media today represent a global community of different nationalities - the size of China in terms of population, and social networking sites are online venues where users can create and post content. Social networks have also become one of the most popular ways for people to socialize, connect with friends and family, purchase items and gather relevant information about current and political topics and views. The most popular and biggest social network is Facebook and its influence in every pore of our society is evident, e.g. potential misuse of its user’s data in different purpose including manipulation in political purposes. This paper will also cover the findings of a survey conducted in Croatia and Serbia about the perception of social media and social networks as a source of gathering relevant information.
Gold and other impurity elements in pyrite from the Berezovskoe deposit in the Middle Urals
Authors: Sidorova N. V. , Vikent’ev I. V. , Abramova V. D. , Koval’chuk E. V.
Published: June 2019

Research subject. In this work, we investigated the crystals of pyrite, one of the key gold-bearing minerals, from the Berezovskoe (the Middle Urals) deposit using modern research approaches.

Materials and methods. Samples for the analysis were collected from the ladder sulphide-quartz veins and related berezites in the Ilinskaya, Pervopavlovsk and Vtoropavlovsk dykes of the Berezovskoe deposit. The ores were studied using the methods of optical microscopy, X-ray microanalysis (PCMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and LA-ICP-MS. The latter method was largely used to examine pyrite. Along with pyrite, the materials under study included faded ore, galena, and such rare occurring minerals as aikinite, cosalite, tetradymite and tsumoite.

Results. According to the point and profile analysis, as well as grain mapping, the main impurity elements in the stu died samples are found to be Co, Ni and As. The distribution of these elements has shown a zonal character: the amounts of Co and Ni tend to increase and that of As tends to decrease towards the grain centre. In the pyrite samples, Cu, Zn and Pb occur either in the form of their sulphide micro-inclusions or as evenly distributed admixtures. The pyritic ore of later genera tions in the Pervopavlovsk dyke is established to contain gold in amounts of up to 22 g/t, with Au being zonally distributed. The goldbearing variety of pyrite is characterized by abnormally low contents of Co and Ni, as well as by an increased content of As (up to 8000 g/t).

Conclusion. A common character of the distribution of main impurity elements in the pyritic ores in the studied dikes indicates similar conditions of their crystallization. The presence of late-generation pyrite with fine gold in the Pervopavlovsk dike evidences to a heterogeneous distribution of gold mineralization therein, likely due to the multistage character of the latter. This may also be an indicator of the concentration of ore columns, which fact requires further elucidation.

A atualidade do livro didático como recurso curricular
Authors: Turra Diaz Omar Rolando
Published: June 2019

É notável que a longa história do livro didático como um recurso educacional não afetou sua validade; pelo contrário, após a primeira década do século, o seu papel nos processos pedagógicos tende a aumentar, como acontece no sistema educacional chileno. Portanto, sua relevância como um recurso educacional e as complexas dimensões que envolvem a sua presença na sala de aula fazem com que seja um fenômeno de pesquisa e de reflexão de interesse renovado. Existem várias possíveis relações estabelecidas entre este recurso e o currículo, enquanto artefato cultural e pedagógico. Vê-se, à luz deste artigo, a partir de uma perspectiva crítica, o seu papel como um dispositivo que traduz o currículo oficial, como material didático para professores e uma fonte de aprendizagem para os alunos.

The Coupled Operational Systems: A Linear Optimisation Review
Authors: Noshokaty Said El
Published: June 2019

The purpose of this review is to summarise the existing literature on the operational systems as to explain the current state of understanding on the coupled operational systems. The review only considers the linear optimisation of the operational systems. Traditionally, the operational systems are classified as decoupled, tightly coupled, and loosely coupled. Lately, the coupled operational systems were classified as systems of time-sensitive and time-insensitive operational cycle, systems employing one mix and different mixes of factors of production, and systems of single-linear, single-linear-fractional, and multi-linear objective. These new classifications extend the knowledge about the linear optimisation of the coupled operational systems and reveal new objective-improving models and new state-of-the-art methodologies never discussed before. Business areas affected by these extensions include product assembly lines, cooperative farming, gas/oil reservoir development, maintenance service throughout multiple facilities, construction via different locations, flights traffic control in aviation, game reserves, and tramp shipping in maritime cargo transport.
Beyond Conventional Sovereign Debt Instruments: Issuance of GDP-linked Bonds in OECD Countries?
Authors: Sebastian Schich
Published: June 2019

Debt-to-GDP measures in major OECD countries are at historical highs and a considerable part of sovereign debt needs to be refinanced soon, while projections of real GDP growth are fairly weak and uncertain and assessed sovereign credit quality has declined. Against this, the OECD Committee on Financial Markets discussed proposals for sovereign debt managers to consider issuing GDP-linked sovereign bonds. The Committee considered proposals timely and the idea conceptually attractive, as additional insurance against economic downturns over the medium term would be available. It identified however also a number of issues that would complicate issuance in practise. Questions arise in particular as regards investor demand for such instruments and how an additional novelty, liquidity and indexation premium would compare to a potentially reduced default premium on more traditional debt. Debt management offices confirm and stress such practical difficulties and remain sceptical, quoting a lack of sustainable demand for such bonds. As a result, issuance of such bonds would be too costly. It is not clear however whether debt management offices take into account the full macroeconomic and financial stability risk-return trade-off that a broader perspective would take into account. Proposals for issuance of sovereign GDP-linked bonds among advanced economies, which had received increased attention after the German G20-presidency included the topic in the G20 finance track, may have lost some momentum, but there continues to be considerable support from both academics and practitioners.

Bali sardinella (Sardinella lemuru) is the main fishing catches in Bali Strait. The distribution of S. lemuru and its preferred oceanographic condition were investigated from remotely sensed data. The objectives of this study were to elucidate the distribution of S. lemuru and the preferred oceanographic condition of S. lemuru in Bali Strait using remotely sensed data. Sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface chlorophyll-a (chl-a) were downloaded from ocean colour website meanwhile the fishing location generated from daily Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) boat detection (VDB), downloaded from NOAA website. The results showed that at the beginning of southeast monsoon (April), most of the fishing location appeared in the north part of Bali Strait, and moved to south part of Bali Strait at the end of the southeast monsoon (September). The results also revealed that most of fishing location of S. lemuru located in SST value of 26 – 30 °C and chl-a value of 0.3 – 0.8 mg/m3. Integration VDB data and oceanographic condition generated from remotely sensed data could form the basis for fisheries management and information system, such as S. lemuru in Bali Strait, in the future.

Published: June 2019

Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve (GOMMBRE) is the first marine biosphere reserve in India and Southeast Asia. It has a rich marine biodiversity including coral reefs, but now facing threats from different environmental factors and anthropogenic interferences. Particularly, coral reefs distributed in the 21 islands under the Gulf of Mannar (GoM) region are facing critical threats. Although several institutions and authors have studied various aspects on corals, direct and indirect influences of natural and anthropogenic catastrophes on corals have been poorly understood. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to identify the anthropogenic disturbances, biological stress factors and diseases on fringing reefs of GoM. The present study reveals that dead coral reefs are being replaced by assemblage of marine algae. Although several diseases were recorded during this study, pink line disease is wide spread in all the islands. Porites sp. and Acropora sp. were the more affected corals. This baseline data lays foundations to survey and to assess the rapid changes that occur over a period of time in coral reefs of GoM.
The Typical Different Features of Grammar of the British English (BrE) and American English (AmE)

Published: June 2019

There are a number of varieties of English all over the world such as American, British, Australian, Indian, Singaporean, Philippine English, etc. However, there are only two varieties of English which are most widely and dominantly taught, learned, and used both spoken and printed around the world namely British English (BrE) and American English (AmE). In real sense, the two are often confusing for the non-native learners because they have some differences and uniqueness in some aspects such as spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Therefore, it is really important for students, teachers and speakers as well to be aware of the major differences between the two. This paper is trying to review some striking unique and different features of grammar of British English (BrE) and American English (AmE).
