Gender stereotypes can be found in every facet of human life, and their development is complex and contradictory. Thus, this study aims to determine (a) how van Dijk’s text analysis is applied in The Lightning Thief to reveal gender stereotypes in the novel and (b) how cognition and social situations motivate the writer to produce gender stereotypes in the novel. This study uses qualitative research and document as the research methods. The data source is taken from a novel by Rick Riordan entitled The Lightning Thief. The data is analyzed using van Dijk’s critical discourse analysis. This study shows that (a) there are gender stereotypes in the text analysis (macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure), (b) gender stereotypes are accentuated by Riordan through his mental representation (opinion) in one of his interviews, and (c) the social situation of the United States also indicates that gender stereotypes still existed in the 1990s and 2000s which can be seen through advertisements, the lyrics of the song, discrimination towards women, and the negative perception of society in women that had higher positions in the workplace and political sphere.

Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, and northern Rakhine State, Myanmar, are two protracted humanitarian crises that are interconnected. A number of donor interventions are aimed at facilitating community resilience and social cohesion, both within the camps and in the host communities. This study aims to assess the progress and effectiveness of an activity based on an information base and establish benchmarks for impact evaluation. In order to conduct the study, both quantitative and qualitative survey techniques were used. A representative sample size was determined for a quantitative survey, including potential qualitative interview participants. For data collection, we used a structured questionnaire, a semi-structured interview guideline, and an unstructured topic guide. We used mostly descriptive statistics with a few inferential tests for our analysis. The triangulation work was developed with information from both methods to draw a credible conclusion. Based on the results, most of the community's health conditions are improving, which confirms the concept of prevention. In terms of vulnerability indices, the highest majority seemed not as much vulnerable as their family had much aware about the traumatize/stress condition. Pregnant/Lactating Women (PLW) were not pronounced as burden by their families as majority of them made visitation for 4 ANC check-up across the study areas. The knowledge level of prevent communicable diseases were found in optimum level in all study areas. An adequate number of beneficiaries responded that malnutrition was screened and diagnosing properly and referred them in time. Moreover, sufferings from psychological issues were found common in FDMN community. In participants’ discussion, It is emphasized that adolescent should be needs of different support and information to cope up with the changes. The study concluded that significant proportion respondents have confirmed about the knowledge of preventive measures, which they learnt mainly from available service provisions. However, it is implied of introducing improve adolescent health services including an adequate supply of necessary of hygiene kits.

Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a new thing in Indonesia, as something new it is full of problems regarding the legality of NFT in Indonesia. Furthermore, when it comes to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), is NFT an IPR and does it receive legal protection? This problem will be discussed in this study, using normative juridical research methods. Based on the research results, it is known that NFT is a digital asset that can be authenticated in order to create digital ownership certificates where these certificates can be traded. This NFT can be protected as intellectual property rights because in fact NFTs are works of art that are encrypted into the blockchain network. Because NFTs are works of art, works of music, videos, game items, etc. that are encrypted into the blockchain network, NFTs are often associated with copyrights.

Published: May 2023

Policies surrounding individuals with disabilities that do not function from a deficit lens have been a relatively modern evolution. The once-dominant medical model that was applied as a one size fits all intervention regarded disability as a pathology warranting treatment. With the advent of new and more inclusive policies and legislature, disability studies have become a multifaceted discipline garnering the advocacy and resources it needs to engender change for the population. Outdated treatment models, infrastructure, and resources designed to serve the community are being reassessed through the more contemporary and inclusive lens of societal accommodation. The language surrounding individuals with disabilities has changed to a person first orientation, as there is power in language, and one is no longer relegated to their entire identity being their ability status. Although the stated supports progress and is cause to believe an inclusive society is on the horizon, the marginalization and exclusion of individuals with disabilities within most societal frameworks prevail; the hard work has only just begun. This literature will highlight the disparities and stigma surrounding individuals living with mental health disabilities while highlighting the policies, services, and resources surrounding the population that remain ineffective.

Published: May 2023

Speed is a contributing factor in around one-third of all fatal road traffic crashes in high-income countries, and up to half in low- and middle-income countries. Long, straight roads which pass by schools, residences and businesses and which facilitate travel at high-speed place children at significant risk. A major risk to children as pedestrians, cyclists and passengers in vehicles are people who drink and drive. Consuming alcohol before driving increases not only the chance of a road traffic crash occurring, but also the likelihood that death or serious injury will result. For children, wearing a helmet is the single most effective strategy for reducing the risk of injury to the head while riding bicycles or motorcycles. For children who are occupants of a vehicle, a range of restraints is available to protect them. These include infant car seats, child car seats, booster seats and seat-belts, and their use depends on the age, weight and height of the child.

Abstract
This survey paper investigates the empirical findings of academic work that explores the nexus between the highly innovative Twitter happiness sentiment index and a range of financial assets. An integrated overview of econometric outcomes and the relevant investment policy implications are provided. It is revealed that investor happiness reinforces the safe haven abilities of gold. Moreover, major stock indices are highly influenced by the happiness index especially at higher quantiles. Reverse causality between the happiness index and stock indices is also detected but in a weaker level. This survey contributes to better
understanding investment decisions based on behavioural finance and provides evidence about the nexus of investor sentiment estimation with the financial sector nowadays.

This study started from the observation that after completing training in a therapeutic orientation, some trainees turn to other supervisors, with a background in other therapeutic orientation and registered with other training providers. The supervisee has the right to choose the supervisor, and the supervisor has the right to accept or not to sign the supervision contract, but without discrimination based on gender, race, religion, etc. However, on the market of psychotherapy training programs, one can observe situations when future supervisees look for a supervisor from another training school/ institutions, not wanting to continue supervision within the same institution, where they trained to become psychotherapists. Thus, the interest turns towards finding out what are the reasons standing at the basis of these situations in Romania. Another interest turns towards identifying what possibilities has training provider at hand to increase the quality of its training programs.

Migratory movements of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) between New Caledonia, East Australia and New Zealand
Authors: Garrigue Claire , Forestell Paul , Gill Peter , Naessig Patricia , M. Patenaude Nathalie , C. Baker Scott
Published: May 2023

‘Discovery’ marks and their recoveries from humpback whales in the southwest Pacific provide no evidence of migratory interchange between wintering grounds in New Caledonia and migratory corridors off east Australia (Moreton Island) and New Zealand, or wintering grounds in Tonga. To provide further insight into the migratory connections among these regions, images of 169 individually-identified humpback whales from New Caledonia were compared with the published catalogues of Australian (n = 1,088), Tongan (n = 78) and New Zealand (n = 1) humpback whales. Four of the New Caledonian humpbacks were found to have migrated past east Australia and one past New Zealand in separate years. No movement was found between New Caledonia and Tonga. These data provide the first photographic information on exchanges between regions of the southwest Pacific. Reviewed in light of historical records, these data also highlight the necessity for further research in the South Pacific region to resolve the question of the proposed segregation of the Southern Hemisphere Group V stock into an eastern group (New Zealand and the Pacific Islands) and a western group (east Australia).

Published: May 2023

A photo-identification study of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) was conducted between 1996 and 1999 in the Machalilla National Park off mainland Ecuador. This paper compares the results obtained with those from known breeding grounds for humpback whales to determine whether the area represents a breeding area for this species. Factors considered included: seasonality in abundance; population structure (including cow-calf pairs and escort whales) in the breeding area; presence of singers; and occupancy and residence times. It is concluded that the area does represent a breeding ground but the relationship of the animals using this area with those using other areas of the eastern tropical Pacific (and the Antarctic feeding grounds) requires further work. The paper also presents a preliminary estimate of abundance (405, 95%CI 221-531) for the years 1998/1999 using the Chapman-modified Peterson method.

Published: May 2023

The North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sperm Whale Catalogue (NAMSC 1.0) contains images collected via the cooperative effort of several individuals studying sperm whales in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean. The collection offers an important opportunity to test matching algorithms as an aid to photo-identification of individual sperm whales. Of the 2,081 photographs in the catalogue, 1,929 were of sufficient quality for photo-identification. The trailing edge of the fluke, an identifying feature, was extracted by an interactive method. Subsequently, the trailing edge was represented in a normalised form by an affine transformation. Left and right halves were processed separately. Using different methods, 489 matching pairs of photographs were found. Based on these confirmed matches, the power of several measures of similarity was compared. The measure of similarity calculated by cross-correlating the continuous wavelet transforms of the extracted contours was found to perform best in practice. No conclusive matches between photographs from different geographic locations were found.
Comparison of subjective and statistical methods of dive classification using data from a time-depth recorder attached to a gray whale (Eschrichtius robustus)
Authors: Malcolm C.D. , Duffus D.A.
Published: May 2023

This paper presents dive data obtained from the deployment of a suction-cup attached time-depth recorder (TDR) on a gray whale off the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. Data are presented in the form of dive profiles. This represents the first time that dive data have been collected from a gray whale. The data were used to compare subjective classification of dive types to statistical methods of classification, and to test the ability of the statistical methods to classify dives. Each dive was analysed using maximum depth, dive duration and bottom time variables for both subjective and statistical methods to make direct comparison of results. Subjective classification suggests that the tagged animal performed five distinct dive types. Two of these dive types, termed Interventilation and Feeding, were assigned a purpose. Two statistical techniques were then used to classify dives: k-means cluster analysis and discriminant function analysis. Cluster analysis and subjective classification showed poor agreement due to the statistical technique’s inability to account for dive geometry. Discriminant function analysis proved more successful, although this technique also demonstrated some weakness in testing for dive geometry. It was concluded that while statistical analysis of dive data is useful to classify dive types in a general manner, subtle differences, which may be indicative of behavioural differences, still depend on subjective analysis for identification. Detailed analyses of the third, or depth, dimension of the marine mammal environment will be important for the development of effective management strategies, especially as whalewatching grows in popularity.

Information on cetaceans in the Indian Ocean Sanctuary and the South China Sea is summarised from a cruise carried out from 29 March to 17 April 1999. Ten species were positively identified: finless porpoise, pantropical spotted dolphin, spinner dolphin, sperm whale, melon-headed whale, pygmy killer whale, false killer whale, Cuvier’s beaked whale, Bryde’s whale and fin whale. Spotted dolphins, melon-headed and pygmy killer whales were sighted around the Island of Borneo and sightings of fin whales and a sperm whale west of the Balabac Strait suggest a possible migration route of these species between the South China Sea and the Sulu Sea. This is the first record of fin whales in the South China Sea.

Published: May 2023

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the most generally used techniques for measuring the thermal conductivity of concrete, as well as to consider the variables influencing the thermal conductivity of cement-based materials. Based on previous research indicating that the pattern of heat flow can be modeled in a numerical analysis program and provide a hue of coverage and differences in indoor temperature conditions, as well as the impact that occurs on several elements in the room, a heat simulation analysis was performed in this study due to a fire. The researchers in this study simulated the flow pattern from the temperature that occurred due to fire in a room measuring 4000x4000 mm with a wall thickness of 200 mm with Hebel/light brick material, floor plate thickness was 120 mm, and the size of the building column structural elements was 400x400 mm with the material reinforced concrete. According to the simulation results of a fire that occurred in the middle of the room with two conditions for installing hebel walls, namely covering the building structure columns and those behind the building structure columns, there is an increase in the temperature of the column with a ratio of 1.062 in the two conditions where the temperature of the wall lining the column is 6.28% lower than the temperature of the wall behind the column, while the heat flux magnitude that occurs is lower.

Published: May 2023

Kebutuhan teknologi kapal di zaman yang terus berkembang harus diimbangi dengan inovasi akan peningkatan fungsi teknologi. Air kotor yang ditampung dalam tangki pembuangan di kapal berupa kotoran manusia, cairan medis, air bekas laundry dan dapur, dan air hasil pemisahan oli. Pembuangan air kotor yang masih manual di beberapa kapal, diupayakan untuk dijadikan otomatis. Penambahan sensor akan mempermudah awak kapal dalam memantau level volume yang terisi di tangki pembuangan air. Pembuatan purwarupa membutuhkan kalibrasi sensor yang digunakan yaitu sensor ultrasonik JSN-SR04. Cara kalibrasi yaitu membandingkan hasil pembacaan sensor JSN-SR04 dengan alat ukur penggaris. Untuk memastikan akurasi pembacaan sensor maka dilakukan kalibrasi. Kalibrasi pengukuran jarak obyek menggunakan pembanding berupa penggaris. Hasil Pembacaam Sensor Ultrasonik JSN-SR04 dapat berfungsi sesuai yang dibutuhkan saat diletakkan di atas tangki purwarupa. Aktuator berupa pompa dan solenoid bekerja sesuai dengan program yang dibuat. Permukaan air yang tidak rata akibat guncangan dapat mempengaruhi pembacaan nilai sensor ultrasonik.
Sistem sebaiknya ditambahkan komponen notifikasi seperti alarm buzzer atau lampu sebagai penanda air kotor telah dibuang atau tangki sedang kosong.

Telah dirancang dan bangun alat sistem pompa air tenaga surya skala kecil yang merupakan rangkaian yang memanfaatkan energi surya sebagai sumber listrik untuk menggerakkan pompa air. Adapun tujuan dari perancangan alat ini adalah untuk mengatasi solusi air yang ada di masyarakat,sehingga tidak perlu berjalan kaki lagi menuju sumber air guna memenuhi kebutuhan air harian dan juga mengatasi listrik PLN yang belum masuk di daerah mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan 2 macam metode penelitian, yaitu dengan menggunakan catu daya yang sumber listriknya berasal dari PLN dan menggunakan panel surya untuk menghasilkan listrik dari cahaya matahari. Pada catu daya, diukur volume air dengan mengatur voltase mulai dari 12 V, 10 V, 8 V, dan 6 V dengan ketinggian 2 m, 1m, 0.5 m, dan 0 m selama 30 menituntuk masing-masing ketinggian. Untuk panel surya diperlukan alat tambahan yaitu stepdown controller yang mengatur voltase input dari panel surya agar sesuai dengan kapasitas pompa. Hasil penelitian yang dihasilkan adalah pada catu daya volume air yang dihasilkan meningkat dari ketinggian 2 m sampai 0 meter sedangkan pada panel surya volume air yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan keadaan cuaca.

Introduction: The number of traumatic spinal cord injuries associated with a fracture is on rise which is compounded by rise in number of motor vehicle accidents in the country. The aim of the study was to assess frequency, cause, pattern, and demographic profile of traumatic spinal cord injuries in the Bhutanese population.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at National Referral Hospital from 2018 to 2020. Hospital records of patients, treated for traumatic spinal cord injury were reviewed.
Results: Of the total of 100 patients with traumatic spinal injury admitted during study period, there were 69 males (69%) and 31 females (31%). The mean age was 44.18 years (±16.625 SD). Falls (61%) was most common cause of spine injury followed by road traffic accident (27%). Lumbar spine injury was most common (42%) followed by cervical spine (31%) and thoracic spine (23%) injuries. Of 100 patients with spinal injury 63 patients did not have associated cord injuries while 37% of  patients had associated spinal cord injuries and of those with spinal injuries, 20% of them had complete spinal cord injury (SCI) and 17% had incomplete SCI. Regarding treatment, 42% of spine injury patients underwent surgical procedures while 58% were managed conservatively. The mean length of hospital stay after spinal injury was 6.62 days (± 26.06 SD, range 1-215).
Conclusions: The study found that most common cause of spine and associated cord injuries were falls followed by road traffic accidents. By collaborating with traffic and road safety division, our study findings have potential to significantly reduce road traffic accidents and enhance preventive measures. Additionally, we can provide valuable education to families regarding rehabilitation and social support, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and better quality of life for individuals living with spinal cord injuries.
