Authors: Mahenthiran Ajay K. , Mahenthiran Ashorne K. , Mahenthiran Jo
Published: October 2020

The world is currently in the midst of a daunting global pandemic due to SARS-CoV-2 viral infection and associated COVID-19 disease. Healthcare professionals are tasked with the challenge of managing diverse multisystem clinical manifestations of this infection. Although acute hypoxic respiratory failure is the hallmark of severe COVID-19 disease, there have been diverse manifestations within the cardiovascular (CV) system that each pose unique therapeutic challenges. Of these manifestations, myocardial injury and right ventricular dysfunction are the most common, however, heart failure, circulatory shock, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, and vascular thrombosis have been noted as well. Furthermore, these CV related manifestations portend greater morbidity and mortality, which requires clinicians to be familiar with the most recent information to provide informed patient care. Although there are limited treatment options available for COVID-19, it is imperative that the potential cardiovascular implications of these therapies are considered in these patients. This review highlights the pathophysiological mechanisms of and therapeutics for CV manifestations of COVID-19 as well as the CV implications of proposed COVID-19 therapies. Since our hospital-based providers are the frontline caregivers battling this pandemic, the aim of this review is to assist with clinical decision-making for optimal patient outcomes while maintaining a safe environment for healthcare personnel.
Meta-analysis of medical management versus catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
Authors: Mao Yin-jun , Wang Hang , Chen Jian-xing , Huang Pin-fang
Published: October 2020

Several observational studies have shown a survival benefit for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who are treated with catheter ablation (CA) rather than medical management (MM). However, data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are uncertain. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of RCTs that compared the benefits of CA and MM in treatment of AF. We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and EMBASE databases for RCTs that compared AF ablation with MM from the time of database establishment up to January 2020. The risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used as a measure treatment effect. Twenty-six RCTs that enrolled a total of 5788 patients were included in the meta-analysis. In this meta-analysis, the effect of AF ablation depended on the baseline level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the heart failure (HF) patients. AF ablation appears to be of benefit to patients with a lesser degree of advanced HF and better LVEF by reducing mortality. Meanwhile, this mortality advantage was manifested in long-term follow-up. CA increased the risk for hospitalization when it was used as first-line therapy and decreased the risk when used as second-line therapy. CA reduced recurrence of atrial arrhythmia for different types of AF (paroxysmal or persistent AF) and CA-related complications were non-negligible. There was no convincing evidence for a reduction in long-term stroke risk after AF ablation, and additional high quality RCTs are needed to address that issue.

Published: October 2020

Public legislation has long failed to meet such large-scale challenges as the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In emergencies, to protect the lives and health of the population, it is necessary to promptly make decisions on the legal regulation of public relations that have developed due to the spread of Covid-19. For this purpose, the state has created legal mechanisms that are designed to ensure compliance with the rule of law and which need the scientific-legal assessment. The objective of the work is to analyze the novelties of administrative and criminal legislation, which regulate the liability for violation of quarantine. The object of research is the norms of administrative and criminal law. The subject of the study is public relations that have developed as a result of the introduction of quarantine and which are governed by administrative and criminal law. To achieve this goal, the situation in foreign countries was firstly analyzed; general patterns were identified; alternative solutions were proposed, with a minimum restriction of human rights and freedoms. Then, the novelties of the national legislation were studied in more detail; additional specific problems were identified; and a more balanced legislative policy was proposed. As a result of the study, the current state of legal regulation in the areas of administrative and criminal law related to quarantine violations was analyzed; the liability for such offenses was characterized; some conclusions regarding the existing related problems were made and options for their solution were proposed, as well as propositions for modernization of legislation were made.

Overcoming Language Barriers between Interventionists and Immigrant Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Lim Nataly , O'Reilly Mark , Vargas Londono Fabiola , Russell-George Adrienne
Published: October 2020

This study used a video prompting intervention to overcome language barriers between English-speaking trainers and Spanish-speaking immigrant parents of children with autism. Parents were taught instructional strategies targeting independent dressing. A multiple baseline design across three families and a replication using an alternating treatments design with a fourth family were used to evaluate the effects of the intervention. All mothers reached mastery criterion and generalization of instructional strategies was observed for three mothers, with treatment gains maintaining during follow-up. Improvements in independent dressing skills was observed for four children. Findings suggest that video prompting can be used to teach immigrant parents of children with autism who have limited English proficiency when there is a language mismatch between parents and trainers.
Exposure to thin and non-thin bodies elicits ‘feeling fat’: Validation of a novel state measure
Authors: Wilson Samantha , Mehak Adrienne , Racine Sarah Elizabeth
Published: October 2020

‘Feeling fat’ refers to the subjective experience of carrying excess weight and relates to severity of eating pathology. Despite research suggesting that ‘feeling fat’ fluctuates across contexts, this construct is almost exclusively assessed in terms of frequency or as a trait. Examining state ‘feeling fat’ in response to external stimuli can inform us of the nature of this construct. In an experimental study, 290 community women were exposed to five categories of affective (pleasant, aversive, and neutral) and body (thin and non-thin) images in quasi-random order. Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) valence and arousal rating scales as well as a novel SAM ‘feeling fat’ scale were rated for each image. Theoretically-relevant constructs (i.e., trait ‘feeling fat’, thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, eating pathology) were also measured. Body images elicited greater state ‘feeling fat’ than affective images, with images of non-thin bodies producing higher state ‘feeling fat’ than thin bodies. Positive correlations were observed between state ‘feeling fat’ in response to thin and all variables of interest, whereas associations between these variables and ‘feeling fat’ in response to non-thin images were small or non-significant. The development of a state measure of ‘feeling fat’ allows for the investigation of triggers of this bodily experience and will facilitate future research.
Co-development of alcohol use problems and antisocial peer affiliation from ages 11 to 34: Selection, socialization, and genetic and environmental influences

Published: October 2020

Background and aims: Social context is an important factor in determining the developmental trajectory of alcohol use. We examined the co-development between alcohol use problems and antisocial peer affiliation. We also estimated the genetic and environmental influences on alcohol use problems, antisocial peer affiliation, and their co-development over time.Design: Longitudinal study using bivariate latent basis models with structured residuals (LBM-SR). A biometric model was then fit to estimate the genetic and environmental influences on the growth factors and their covariances.Setting: The United States mid-west region.Participants: Members of the Minnesota Twin Family Study (MTFS), an ongoing, longitudinal study of 3762 (52% female) twins (1,881 pairs).Measurements: Alcohol use problems were assessed using a composite measure of average number of drinks per occasion in the past 12 months, maximum number of drinks in 24 hours, and DSM-III-R symptoms of alcohol abuse and dependence. Antisocial peer affiliation was measured by self-report of the proportion of one’s friends that exhibited types of antisocial behaviors.Findings: The LBM-SR model revealed that there was a large correlation between the growth factors for alcohol use problems and antisocial peer affiliation (r = .78, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: .76, ,80) and cross-lagged effects consistent with both selection and socialization effects. Additionally, antisocial peer affiliation in adolescence was associated with greater increases in alcohol use problems over time (r = .57, 95% CI: .54, .60). Genetic influences largely accounted for the association between antisocial peer affiliation in pre-adolescence and growth in alcohol use problems, while shared environmental influences accounted for the correlation between antisocial peer affiliation and alcohol use problems growth factors.Conclusions: Antisocial peer affiliation in adolescence appears to be a salient, genetically-influenced risk factor for early alcohol use and increase in alcohol use from adolescence through young adulthood.
“What did you do this weekend?” Relationships between weekend activities, recovery experiences and changes in work-related well-being
Authors: Ginoux Clément , Isoard-Gautheur Sandrine , Sarrazin Philippe
Published: October 2020

Recovery refers to the process of replenishing resources that occurs when employees distance themselves from their work, leading to improvements in work-related well-being indicators (WRWB), such as burnout and vigor. Research has shown that weekend activities are related to changes in WRWB, and that recovery experiences could mediate these relationships. This study aims to examine the indirect relationships of recovery activities on changes in burnout and vigor, through weekend recovery experiences. It extends past research by considering a greater number of recovery activities and experiences, and by controlling for job demands. 249 employees from various occupations completed two online surveys before and after the weekend, assessing their WRWB, weekend recovery activities and experiences, and job demands. Structural equation modeling revealed that after controlling for job demands, changes in burnout and vigor were positively predicted by a latent variable – the weekend recovery experience – subjacent to perceptions of detachment, relaxation, mastery, control and relatedness. In addition, four out of six weekend activities predicted negative (work-related activities) or positive (social, physical, and creative activities) recovery experiences. Additional analyses showed that the recovery experience was a full mediator of the relationships between weekend activities and vigor change. These results confirm the importance of weekend activities and recovery experience for improving WRWB. They contribute to expanding current knowledge on recovery from work, highlighting the importance of considering creative activities and relatedness in future studies.

Published: October 2020

Sistem ketertelusuran diperlukan dalam rantai distribusi produk pangan karena pentingnya kualitas dan keamanan produk bagi konsumen. Mulai tahun 2019 kegiatan ekspor produk ke Amerika Serikat mensyaratkan dokumen pendukung (seafood import monitoring program) yang menerangkan bukti asal usul produk perikanan. Luasnya geografis Indonesia menyebabkan rantai pasok komoditi ikan yang ditangkap secara tradisional di daerah kepulauan, semakin panjang dan waktu yang lama sampai di konsumen akhir. Permasalahan penelitian ini yaitu bagaimana membangun sistem penelusuran produk perikanan, dengan mengimplementasikan quick response code. QR Code digunakan karena mampu menyimpan informasi lebih banyak, baik secara horizontal maupun vertikal dan dapat menyampaikan informasi produk dan tanggapan secara cepat. Penelusuran dilakukan dengan mendeteksi koordinat pendaratan kapal secara otomatis menggunakan global positioning system, dan informasi kapal dan tangkapan ikan dibentuk batch code dan disimpan pada cloud server. Saat ikan dijual dari nelayan ke pemasok dan dari pemasok ke perusahaan, batch code tersebut ikut berpindah seiring dengan pindahnya ikan pada setiap rantai pasok. Sistem informasi penerimaan ikan di perusahaan mengakses data cloud server dan memilih batch code yang sesuai dengan ikan yang diterima. Setiap produk loin dari hasil pengolahan ikan, diberikan label QR Code yang mengandung informasi produk dan batch code asal usul ikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan label 100 x 100 pixel dapat menyimpan informasi produk dan asal usul ikan dan pengujian label pada kondisi kering, dapat dipindai pada jarak maksimum 40 cm, dan label kondisi basah dan beku, dapat dipindai pada maksimum 25 cm posisi datar dan maksimum 20 cm pada posisi melengkung.

Authors: Dyachenko Hlib Dmytrovych  , Volkova Yuliya
Published: October 2020

The results of the treatment of overweight patients under the ERAS program are presented. When comparing different variants of the intensive care protocol, it is best to add colecalciferol and D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate sodium salt hydrate.An increase in the amount of secretory active adipose tissue in the body is accompanied by a decrease in the bioavailability of vitamin D, a decrease in the level of 25 (OH) D in the blood increases the level of parathyroid hormone. The introduction of a planned surgical profile in overweight patients at the screening stage 10 days before surgery to determine the level of 25 (OH) D in the blood is a key point in deciding the possibility of a perioperative period under the ERAS program. Additional use to its classic protocol of colecalciferol (positive effect on long-term effects and is significant in the prediction process) and sodium D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate hydrate solution (directly affects the effect of rapid recovery after elective surgery) improves the quality of motor activity of patients after operations, increases their adaptive capacity by restoring lost muscle function. The optimized classical algorithm of the ERAS program significantly (p <0.05) improved the quality of life in the long run (30 days after surgery), such as physical functioning, general health, viability scale, mental health (SF-36 scale) and reduced body mass index.

STEM CELLS IN BREAST CANCER: THE ROLE OF GENDER STEROID RECEPTORS
Authors: Izrailbekova K.
Published: October 2020

Breast cancer (BC ) is the most common cancer among women, and current treatments available often have high success rates. However, BC can acquire drug resistance and sometimes relapse. Current knowledge about the most aggressive forms of BC indicates the role of specific cells with stem properties located in BC, the so-called "BCSCs" (Brest cancer stem cells). The role of BCSCs in cancer formation, growth, invasiveness, therapy resistance, and tumor recurrence is becoming increasingly evident. The growth and metastatic properties of BCSCs are regulated in a variety of ways that are only partially known. Sex steroid receptors (SSRs), which are involved in the etiology and progression of BC, promote the proliferation, dedifferentiation and migration of BCSCs. However, the literature contains incomplete information about their roles. In particular, there are conflicting findings regarding the expression and role of classic BC hormone biomarkers such as estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), together with scanty, albeit promising, information on the properties of ER-beta (ERβ) and androgen receptor (AR) that control pathways of transduction in BCSC. In this review, we will discuss the role that SRs expressed in BCSCs play in BC progression and relapse, and how these findings have opened up new therapeutic options.
These cells are predictors of BC and promising new therapies are being developed to target these cells and improve BC recurrence.

Authors: Hakim Rahman , Makruf Amar , Nurasa Ahmad , Widodo Widodo , Wahyudi Irvan
Published: October 2020

The research aims to analyze the effect of metering stroke on product quality. Metering strokes relate to product weight and mold capacity. The material used is Polyamide (Nylon) 66, using an ENGEL 50ton capacity Injection Molding machine.  The research method used is an experimental method before mass pre-production with stroke metering variation as a production parameter. A normality test was used to investigate the experimental data. Shapiro-Wilk's formula on Minitab® software was used to process the data. Product defects caused by an improper metering stroke often in the injection process are short mold and flashing prints. The results show that short mold production defects occur when the metering stroke is 60 mm due to the material does not fill the full cavity. Furthermore, flashing occurs when the metering stroke is 70 mm due to out of cavity capacity. Therefore, the appropriate parameter is a 65 mm metering stroke with good quality part results.
The Internationalization of Oil&Gas Family Businesses
Authors: Testa Giovanna
Published: October 2020

The internalization of family businesses – i.e. of the companies that implement it – can be stimulated by numerous reasons: one of these is linked to the target markets, not in terms of market development, but of resource to be used / exploited. What makes the oil companies distinguishing is that: they follow the territory and the exploitation of the underground resources, wherever they are in the world. In the Italian context, this characteristic of oilfield companies is very noticeable due to the scarcity of underground resources, which characterize our territory. We propose an empirical approach. It has been considered the case of a specific Italian Oil&Gas family firm. The study consists of: a first part, in which an analysis of the main economic and managerial literature, both national and international, was made (on internationalization, SMEs and family businesses, industrial districts, oilfield environment); a second part, in which an empirical analysis was developed: interviews have been conducted with the owners and top management of the company, in order to study and analyze the firm development strategies.

Numerical Modelling of a Planing Craft with a V-Shaped Spray Interceptor Arrangement in Calm Water
Authors: Lakatoš Mikloš , Tabri Kristjan , Dashtimanesh Abbas , Andreasson Henrik
Published: October 2020

V-shaped spray interceptors are a novel concept of spray deflection on planing craft. Conventional spray rails are positioned longitudinally on the bottom of the hull and detach the spray from hull deflecting it towards the sides or slightly down and aftward. The V-shaped spray interceptors, on the other hand, are located in the spray area forward of the stagnation line such that they would deflect the oncoming spray down and aftward, thereby producing a reaction force that reduces the total resistance. An experimental study reported that the V-shaped spray interceptors to reduce the total resistance at low planing speed by up to 4%. This paper features a numerical comparison of two planing craft, one equipped with a conventional setup of longitudinal spray rails and the other with a V-shaped spray interceptor. Both configurations were simulated in calm water conditions and were free to pitch and heave in a speed range of Fr∇ = 1.776 to 3.108. The numerical model was analyzed for grid sensitivity and numerical results were compared with experimental results. The two concepts were compared in terms of total resistance, lift, running position and wetted surface area. Conventional spray rails were shown to account for up to 5.6% of total lift and up to 6.5% of total resistance. The V-shaped spray interceptor was shown to reduce the total resistance by up to 8%. Since the V-shaped spray interceptor was located in the spray area forward of the stagnation line, it deflected the oncoming spray thereby producing a horizontal reaction force (-1.5% of RTM) in the direction of the craft’s motion. The rest of differences in the total resistance of the hulls equipped with the conventional spray rails and the V-shaped spray rails was due to absence of the resistance of the absent spray rails.

Authors: Nadeem Ashraf Muhammad , Zubair Ahmad Khan Talha
Published: October 2020

A traditional method known as iron triangle (time, cost, quality) was used to evaluate the success of projects in the past. A project was assumed to be successful if it had been completed within time, did not overrun its allocated budget and its outcomes satisfied the predetermined criteria. However, to evaluate the impact of any project considering merely its success is not enough, the impact of its product should also be appraised. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the program “Agricultural Mechanization Development Project” recently implemented in Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, Punjab province was categorized into three zones on the basis of agro-climatic conditions. Two districts were randomly selected from each zone. Face to face structured interviews were conducted to collect primary data from beneficiary farmers (n=210). Regression analysis was applied to evaluate the significance of mechanization. The research findings revealed that improvement in technical efficiency through the use of agriculture mechanization program has a significant effect on the production of wheat crop. It is suggested here that ‘Agricultural Mechanization’ and other such programs ought to be considered efficient tools to fight poverty, bring mprovement in socioeconomic conditions and promote income generating activities among rural communities.

Por volta do século XV aparece na Espanha uma série de poemas épicos conhecidos como romances que refletiam o contexto histórico e cultural da sociedade da época. No decorrer dos séculos, estes poemas foram reproduzidos e se tornaram parte da identidade castelhana por resguardar traços historiográficos e personagens que foram importantes a este povo. No lugar de protagonistas de alguns destes poemas surgem heróis históricos e, dentro do gênero, este tipo de personagem adquire grande importância, já que tais textos (re)construíram estas figuras de modo a transformá-las em mitos do período histórico retratado. Assim, este artigo traça uma breve linha do tempo que evidencia algumas das principais manifestações heroicas no intuito de tentar demonstrar a universalidade desta figura ao mesmo tempo em que apresenta suas particularidades mais importantes. Além disso, realizou-se uma exposição sobre o protagonista do romance XX, Mío Cid, pelas óticas histórica e literária, a partir das quais se pode perceber diferenças e semelhanças na construção do herói castelhano. Ao final, compreende-se como se dá a representação da figura do herói no contexto da época e como esta figura mítica pode assumir um papel social e histórico significativo para o imaginário coletivo da época.
THE ORDER AND ERROR CONSTANT OF A RUNGE-KUTTA TYPE METHOD FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM
Authors: Muhammad Raihanatu
Published: October 2020

Implicit Runge- Kutta methods are used for solving  stiff problems which mostly arise in real life situations. Analysis of  the order, error constant, consistency and convergence will help in determining an effective Runge- Kutta Method (RKM) to use. Due to the loss of  linearity in Runge –Kutta Methods and the fact that the general Runge –Kutta Method  makes no mention of the differential equation makes it impossible to define the order of the method independently of the differential equation.

In this paper, we examine in simpler details how to obtain the order, error constant, consistency  and convergence of a Runge -Kutta Type method (RKTM) when the step number  .

NURSES’ COMPLIANCE ON PATIENT HANDOVER PROCESS IN THE PRE-OPERATIVE ROOM OF THE HOSPITAL IN VIETNAM
Authors: Nguyen Nhut Minh , Ha Xuan Thi Nhu , Einhellig Katrina
Published: October 2020

Background: Ineffective handover is considered a major factor that endangers patient safety in hospitals. Preparing and handing over patients before surgeries directly impact the outcome of the surgery. If errors occur, they could jeopardize the patient’s life.

Objectives: To determine the level of nurses’ compliance during the pre-operative patient handover process at the anesthesia department. To examine nurses’ evaluation on using a pre-operative patient handover checklist.

Methods: This was a descriptive observational study with a cross-sectional approach to examine 196 cases of handing over pre-operative patients performed by 53 nurses from the surgical department, maternity department, obstetrics and gynecology department, emergency department, and anesthesia department. Data were collected from November 2019 to February 2020 using “The Checklist of Assessing Nurse’s Compliance on Pre-Operative Patient Handover” and “The Survey Form of Nurse’s Evaluation on Using Pre-Operative Patient Handover Checklist.” Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used for data analysis.

Results: Nurses’ compliance on handing over pre-operative patients with a high level was 71.9%, and with an average level was 28.1%. The handover areas with low compliance rate included: the patients need to be isolated (63.3%), identifying patient information verbally (75%), identifying patient information by hospital bracelet (77%), time to use antibiotics (78.1%), and marked surgical site (79.6%). Over 90% of nurses agreed on the usefulness of the pre-operative handover checklist.

Conclusion: The process of handing over pre-operative patients was performed relatively well, but there were still shortcomings to overcome. Nurses positively evaluated the use of the handover checklist for preparing pre-operative patients.
PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF SPIRITUAL INDEX OF WELL-BEING AMONG FILIPINO WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER
Authors: Soriano Gil P
Published: October 2020

Background: Breast cancer patients need to be treated not only physically and emotionally but also spiritually. Hence, the assessment of the spirituality of patients is essential to provide holistic nursing care. However, there was no culturally valid and reliable instrument that measures spirituality among Filipino women with breast cancer.

Objective: The study was conducted to determine the psychometric properties of the spiritual index of well-being among Filipino women with breast cancer.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was utilized in the study, and a sample of 170 Filipino women with breast cancer were included. The World Health Organization guidelines were used to translate the original instrument to Filipino, and content validity was computed using the Davis technique. Also, confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation was performed to assess the construct validity of the instrument. Cronbach’s α and item-total correlations were done to assess the internal consistency of the Filipino version of the spiritual index of well-being.

Results: The Filipino version of the spiritual index of well-being had an item content validity index (I-CVI) ranging from 0.86 to 0.92 and a scale content validity index (S-CVI) of 0.95. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) showed factor loadings of 0.42 to 0.72. Also, the CFA model revealed a ?2/df = 2.51, root mean square error of approximation= 0.074, comparative fit index= 0.091, goodness of fit index=0.98, Tucker-Lewis index= 0.93, incremental fit index= 0.91, and standard root mean square residual== 0.072.

Conclusion: The Filipino version of the spiritual index of well-being was cross-culturally valid and reliable in measuring the spiritual index of well-being among Filipino women with breast cancer.

Persatuan Bulu Tangkis Seluruh Indonesia (PBSI) is an organization that manages the game of badminton in Indonesia. The Palembang branch of PBSI has so far held a competition that has not used special software, from registration to the results of the competition. The problem that often occurs is the frequent occurrence of misinformation about the race. For this reason, an application will be made that can help accommodate the race administration, starting from the registration of the race to the results of the race. Application created using the website. The development method used in making applications is the Web Engineering method. The programming language used is using PHP and the database is used using MySql. The results of this study are expected to make it easier for athletes to see information about race events, match schedules, race registration, making it easier for badminton clubs to register their athletes in competitions held by PBSI
Determinants of Corruption: The Case of Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: GÖK Adem
Published: October 2020

Corruption has been an epidemic in Africa since the age of colonization. The average level of corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa has been on the rise since. The results support the theory of self-reinforcing corruption in the sense that past corruption levels become an important determinant of current corruption levels due to strategic complementarity. The gap between more corrupt and less corrupt countries stays the same as more corrupt countries turning into more corrupt and less corrupt countries turning into less corrupt, demonstrating that corruption is pervasive in Sub-Saharan Africa. For the institutional determinants, we found that increase in political stability, better regulatory quality and higher level of democracy decreases the level of corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa. For the economic determinants, we found that a higher level of development and higher trade integration decreases the level of corruption and higher government expenditure and higher level of natural resources increases the level of corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa. For the socio demographic determinants, we found that higher level of infrastructure decreases the level of corruption while higher share of women in labor force, higher level of population and higher level of urbanization increases corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Making the Globe: A Cultural History of Science in the Bay of Bengal
Authors: Sivasundaram Sujit
Published: October 2020

Starting from Madras, travelling across the Bay of Bengal, to the coast of Sumatra and then to Singapore, this paper provides a cultural history of nineteenth-century knowledge-making as an enterprise in making and breaking three concepts: globe, empire and self. It does so by working outwards from early-nineteenth century pendulum-length experiments to determine the curvature of the Earth. It argues that moving across concepts and scales was vital to a regime of big data. Data-crunching involved different sciences and split across territories and sea and land. As the project of making the globe proceeded, for instance from Madras Observatory, imperial settlements could be located precisely as coordinates, for instance British Singapore, and indigenous intellectuals, like Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir (1797–1854), had to find their place in a world of imperial free trade. Global model-making brought about a detachment from individuals and locations as people and places were fixed on a globe and it led to the erasure of the indigenous informant, a key figure in recent histories of science. In linking the making of the globe to the fate of intermediary, the argument urges the need to place indigenous agency in the sciences within wider accounts of labour, capital and imperial expansion.
