Long-term room temperature storage of DNA molecules
Authors: Garafutdinov R.R. , Sakhabutdinova A.R. , Chemeris A.V.
Published: January 2021

The simplest and most common method of long-term storage of DNA samples at present is the storage of their frozen solutions, which, however, has a number of disadvantages, including the destruction of DNA molecules during freezing and thawing, as well as energy consumption and the likelihood of losing valuable samples in the event of possible accidents. In this regard, long-term storage of DNA samples at room temperature in a dried state is preferable, especially since an even greater increase in the number of stored DNA samples is planned due to the planned preservation of non-biological data in this molecule, which is recognized at the International Economic Forum 2019 among the 10 most important innovative technologies as “DNA Data Storage” of the near future of mankind. Such storage requires the exclusion of hydrolysis and oxidation of DNA molecules under the action of water and reactive oxygen species, which can be achieved by placing DNA in an inert anhydrous atmosphere, including in the presence of additional ingredients in the form of, for example, trehalose, imitating wildlife, since it is known that this simple disaccharide, capable of vitrification, protects a wide range of anhydrobiont organisms from adverse environmental conditions. Currently, there are a number of technologies that provide long-term storage of DNA at room temperature, including those available from commercial sources, but not all problems have yet been solved, which is reflected in this review article.
The Evolution of Sinhala Marriage Alliances: A Study of Panama; Sri Lanka
Authors: Gunarathne M. R. , Samarasekara K. M. S.
Published: January 2021

Sri Lankan marriage alliances have manifested a considerable interdependency with the socioeconomic system from the early stages through its history. While sociocultural change is an inherent phenomenon of the evolutionary history of mankind, the traditional Sinhalese marriage system has adapted to the changing socioeconomic forces over the centuries. This study intends to investigate the impact of the current socioeconomic system on modern marriage alliances in Sri Lanka. An analytical ethnographic study was used to execute the research in Panama, drawing upon the study of Nur Yalman, the extraneous anthropologist in 1967. Fifty households were randomly sampled, and a structured interview schedule was employed as the key method of data collection, using non-participant observation and genealogical methods as the subsidiary methods. Both primary and secondary sources were referred to through a mix method in data analysis where both quantitative and qualitative data were used. The findings of the study reveal that, with the passage of time, Sinhalese marriage has undergone a tremendous change in the size of household, age at marriage, process of mate selection, education which leads to labour force, land tenure, caste and the kinship network in Sri Lanka. The research concludes by disclosing that, though the sanctity of Sinhalese marriage is generally affected by socioeconomic change, the shadow of traditional form of marriage alliances can be found in rural Sri Lanka.
Plantation Futures
Authors: Osman Abdi
Published: January 2021

These photographs are in conversation with Katherine McKittrick’s essay “Plantation Futures.” The photographs are a visual essay inspired by the ideas in McKittrick’s work and the ways in which the essay provides a conceptual terrain for thinking how the plantation repeats in our present time. In the photographs, I imagine and bring to visual life Black trans people and other Black people as both uncovering what plantation life might have concealed and simultaneously imagining multiple genders into the future. The photographs attempt to picture forms of Black social life often not attended to in normative ideas of the plantation, both past and present.
Liberation on the Dance Floor: Collective Dance and Queer Politics in Canada
Authors: Jennex Craig
Published: January 2021

In this article, I consider Black Lives Matter—Toronto’s (BLM-TO) protest at the 2016 Toronto Pride Parade and reflect on the demands—the majority of which relate to the (re-)establishment and support of spaces for collective music participation. Following BLM-TO’s lead, I contend that music participation is vital for forging a sense of community and collective agency for queer individuals in Canada. I read BLM-TO’s protest alongside two specific examples of community organizing in Canadian lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, Two-Spirited + history that privilege the dance floor as an integral space of politics: the Gay Alliance for Equality (GAE) in Halifax and the Gay Community Dance Committee (GCDC) in Toronto. I claim that the dance spaces of the GAE and the GCDC were transformative for Canadian gay and lesbian liberation politics in the 1970s and 1980s. Ultimately, by reading the historical efforts of the GAE and the GCDC alongside the contemporary demands of BLM-TO, I argue that music and dance spaces in which queer individuals can come together—spaces animated by the musical and collective dance traditions of communities of colour—have long been integral to queer formation in this country.
Crafting a Heteronormative Haven: Representations of Sexuality on the Canadian Margin
Authors: Marr Gemma
Published: January 2021

There is a shortage of scholarship that addresses how sexuality functions in representations of Atlantic Canada. Using contemporary literary, historical, and cultural scholarship alongside theories of metronormativity and rural space, this article offers an exploration of the intertwined histories of heterosexuality and commodified Atlantic Canadian identity. Examining the development of the tourist industry in the region, alongside the growing popularity of cultural products that uphold narratives of regional simplicity, this article thinks through how this homogenized narrative negates the reality of queer and non-conforming desire, experiences, and activism throughout the region’s history and present. Reference to Ashley MacIsaac and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Anne with an E are used to make this point. Through a focus on the “myths of Maritimeness” at work in a cultural infrastructure that positions Atlantic Canada as a space of rural simplicity, questions are raised not only about how a normative positioning of the margin impacts conceptualizations of life within the region but also about how this representation upholds a particular understanding of life in the Canadian centre.
“It Was a Strange New World, It Was”: Queering Place and Place Myths in Contemporary Newfoundland and Labrador Literature
Authors: Chafe Paul
Published: January 2021

This article begins with an analytical itemization of several moments in recent Newfoundland and Labrador fictions in which identity, culture, and history are presented and romanticized through heteronormative sexual relationships and metaphors. Having identified such depictions as established tropes in Newfoundland and Labrador literature, this article then considers a new wave of queer representations of Newfoundland place and people in novels and stories by Jessica Grant, Kathleen Winter, Eva Crocker, Michael Winter, and others to examine how these instances contradict and complicate heteronormative images of consummation and control. Finally, this article will accept the invitation extended by Scott Lauria Morgensen in “Settler Homonationalism: Theorizing Settler Colonialism within Queer Modernities” to consider how queer histories can be consumed by settler nationalism and then question if these new Newfoundland narratives are unsettling and transformative or simply more stories supporting the complexity, as well as the inevitability and finality, of an Indigenized Newfoundland settler culture.
Molly Wood’s Bush: Settler Colonialism, Queer Activism, and Commemoration in Toronto
Authors: Brown Shannon
Published: January 2021

This article explores the relationship between queer activism and settler colonialism in Toronto from the 1970s to the 2000s through the commemoration of Alexander Wood, a nineteenth-century magistrate. Over the course of these three decades, Wood was reclaimed as a historical gay man by a variety of queer activists who sought to incorporate lessons from the past into their work. After briefly introducing the early liberationist interpretations of Wood, this article investigates the process through which Toronto’s gay village, Church-Wellesley Village, became legible as “Molly Wood’s Bush,” a piece of land Wood purchased in the 1820s with roughly the same geographic boundaries. Emerging homonationalist forms of queer activism that placed queer life within the bounds of national belonging provoked a reinterpretation of Wood, making him into a gay pioneer and culminating in the creation of a statue to mark the Village as queer territory. By examining a series of rewritings of Wood’s history as well as their reception in Toronto, this article argues that the role of commemoration in creating maps of belonging that facilitate integration into the settler colonial order must be included in understandings of queer activism in Canada.

Revisiting ’69 Celebrations and Challenging Settler Homonationalism in the (Un)Just Society
Authors: Hall Laura
Published: January 2021

Narratives about queer Canada, or queering Canada, continue to normalize the nation-state and its settler-colonial roots. During the summer of 2019, the release of the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls made it impossible to ignore settler colonialism in the Canadian context, and yet celebrations of 1969’s Criminal Code changes attempted to frame the country as a safe haven for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer + (LGBTQ+) rights. This article will explore rhetoric surrounding Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau’s era including the Just Society, the criminal reforms of 1969, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s moment as celebrations of the 1969 reforms unfurl. In particular, this article will look at the contrast in rhetoric between the Just Society and protests by Indigenous peoples for whom 1969 nearly ended with the passing of the white paper and subsequent extinguishment of Indigenous rights. Assimilation, and, therefore, disappearance, frames Indigenous experiences of the Just Society, while settler-colonial aspirations frame mainstream understandings of 1969’s LGBTQ+ Criminal Code reforms. At the same time, as Indigenous peoples reframe this moment, and as Canadians prepare to celebrate its meanings, a surging Far Right has announced itself across the country. In response to this problem and to the liberal problem of doublespeak and Just Society rhetoric, this article will centre the aspirations and voices of Indigenous women and Two-Spirit folks as temporal and spatial alter-Natives to the rise of homonationalism rooted in ongoing settler colonialism.
Ancestors, Can You Read Us? (Dispatches from the Future)
Authors: Marcus Ware Syrus
Published: January 2021

Between 11 September and 8 December 2019, Syrus Marcus Ware’s multi-channel video work Ancestors, Can You Read Us? (Dispatches from the Future) was on view at the Ryerson Image Centre in Toronto. The video, created with Mishann Lau, features performers Kyisha Williams, Rodney Diverlus, Raven Davis, Janine Carrington, Ravyn Wngz, Gloria Swain, and Jasmyn Fyfe, imagines and stages a dialogue with a future beyond the current epoch of Black social death and insecurity and this time marked by the ever-present capitalist forces of greed and the persistent script of police and state violence. In this piece, written as a companion to the video installation, Ware not only meditates on the precarity of the present but also insists on the necessity for social change through an imagining of the collapse of capitalism and the radical time after with a social restructuring of forms of relations and care. This work draws on the Black speculative, futurist, vision of our ancestor, Octavia Butler, to sketch a radical Black queer imagining of the future—one that queers time, survival, family, and relations to articulate an abolitionist vision as the way forward.

Published: January 2021

Fatigability is the hallmark of myasthenia gravis (MG). It is not clear, however, whether there is an analogous increase in jitter during the course of a single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) session. The individual jitter values of all potentials of 76 normal and 44 myasthenic orbicularis oculi muscles were assigned a rank number according to their temporal order in which they were collected and linear regression was performed to determine if the slope of the regression line was significantly different from zero. Control and MG subjects displayed rather flat linear regression lines with non-significant positive or negative slopes. Accordingly, ROC analysis yielded areas under the curve near 0.5. We conclude that there is no systematic jitter increase during the collection of 20 potential pairs in a typical SFEMG session.

Published: January 2021

Abstract. From a biomechanical point of view, the process of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) includes 2 fluid¯solid coupling effects: the interaction between particles and endolymph and the interaction between endolymph and cupula. The interaction between the canaliths and the wall would affect the coupling effects. This study aimed to investigate the entire process of cupula motion caused by canaliths motion and the influence of canalith particles composition. A biomechanical numerical model was established to simulate the canalith falling process and study the influence of canalith diameter, number, and initial falling position on cupula movement. Simultaneously, the relationship between cupula displacement and the nystagmus signal was analyzed in BPPV patients. The results revealed that the particle velocity was proportional to the particle diameter. The pressure difference between the two sides of the cupula was directly proportional to the canalith diameter and number. The degree of vertigo was positively related to the slow angular velocity of the nystagmus and, therefore, reflected canalith number and diameter. The BPPV latent period and vertigo duration were inversely related to particle diameter. Thus, the number of particles, particle radius, and initial falling position affected cupula movement, which was reflected in the nystagmus.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal and psychosocial problems have tended to increase during the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the changes in musculoskeletal problems and psychosocial status of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic due to online education and to investigate the effects of preventive telerehabilitation applications for musculoskeletal problems. METHODS: Forty teachers who conducted online education during the pandemic volunteered to participate in the study. All assessments were performed via online methods. The Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), ProFitMap-Neck questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) were used to evaluate musculoskeletal problems; the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to evaluate anxiety and depression, respectively; and the Work–Life Balance Scale (WLBS) was used to evaluate how well individuals achieve this balance. Information about before online education, during online education, and after training was obtained with the assessments. After the first assessment, telerehabilitation, which involved presentations and brochures, was applied to 18 participants willing to participate in the training. RESULTS: The ProFitMap, UEFI, and WLBS scores during the online education decreased significantly, while the scores of the CMDQ, ODI, BDI, and BAI during the online education increased significantly compared to the pre-online education scores (p < 0.05). In addition, the total CMDQ, ProFitMap, and ODI scores improved significantly after the training (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Musculoskeletal and psychosocial problems increased in teachers during online education. Preventive telerehabilitation methods will be beneficial for individuals who do not have access to face-to-face physiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Work holds great meaning and benefits beyond just monetary gain for people with intellectual disabilities. It gives these individuals the opportunity to engage in meaningful occupation. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to explore challenges that people with intellectual disabilities (PWID) experience when adapting to their worker roles in the open labor market. METHODS: The study used grounded theory as the research design. Five male participants and two key informants participated in the study. Two semi structured interviews were conducted with each one of the seven participants (five PWID and two key informants). RESULTS: Three core concepts emerged: 1) Unforeseen challenges of change; 2) A well-planned work preparation program enables success and 3) Crossing the bridge into the workplace: “Do I belong here?” CONCLUSIONS: This indicated that with sufficient external support, PWID are able to gain a sense of social belonging and develop the necessary skills to cope with challenges that arise in the workplace when PWID transition from protective/sheltered workshops to the open labor market. The findings of the study also indicated that work preparation programs and supportive employment approaches helped PWID transition to the open labor market.

Published: January 2021

With the development of information technology, humanity is increasingly delving into the world of gadgets, cloud technology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. Through web applications, we receive and distribute information, including confidential. During the pandemic, most people switched to online work and study. As a result, most of the data stored on personal computers, company servers, and cloud storage needs protection from cyberattacks. The problem of cybersecurity at the moment is incredibly relevant due to the hacking of cryptocurrencies, websites of ministries, bitcoin wallets or social network accounts. It is necessary to conduct high-quality testing of developed applications to detect cyber threats, to ensure reliable protection of different information. The article states that when testing applications, it checks for vulnerabilities that could arise as a result of incorrect system setup or due to shortcomings in software products. The use of innovation is necessary to improve quality. Modern realities have become a challenge for the development of cybersecurity products. Improvement of technology requires modern companies to update their IT systems and conduct regular security audits. The research is devoted to the analysis of modern OWASP testing tools that contribute to data security, with a view to their further use. The Open Web Application Security Project is an open security project. The research revealed a list of the most dangerous vectors of attacks on Web-applications, in particular, OWASP ZAP performs analyzes the sent and received data system security scanning at the primary level, MSTG performs security testing of mobile applications iOS and Android mobile devices. The practical result of the work is to test a specially developed web-application and identify vulnerabilities of different levels of criticality.
THE CONCEPT OF THE THEMATIC QUEST-ROOM FOR FORMATION OF CHILDREN'S READYNESS TO ACTION IN FIRE
Authors: Kovalyshyn V. , Khlevnoy O. , Kharyshyn D. , Ivanusa A.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. The data obtained by questionnaires indicate that not enough attention system of education gives to the formation of children’s psychological readiness for action in case of fire. Training evacuations in educational institutions are quite rare. At home, parents do not conduct such training at all. As of the beginning of 2020, the average Ukrainian child aged 4-10 visits game entertainment centres about 1.8 times a year. This information suggests that we should not be reduced to the banal annual repetition of the same rules to prepare children.Aim. The article aims to develop the concept of a thematic quest, in reality, the use of which would increase the readiness of players to act in a fire and also would help to accumulate experimental data for further study of the behaviour of children of different ages in a fire.The paper presents the results of test training with school students, based on the results of which have proposed the optimal spatial planning solutions of the thematic educational quest room, as well as the quantity and composition of technical equipment necessary for its effective functioning. It has given the schematic configuration of the quest room management system. Such a management system allows centralized control of all game processes and devices from the central computer. There are also considered examples of game tasks and possible scenarios.Conclusion. Execution of game tasks promotes the formation of psychological readiness of participants to actions in the conditions of fire and also allows to fix theoretical knowledge of rules of fire safety and to develop some practical skills. Observation of players opens up the prospect of obtaining experimental data for a wide range of research (especially on the behaviour of children of different ages).

Published: January 2021

Prototyping of analog circuits is hair stretching work, and often get’s complicated because one has to work with breadboard. To eliminate bread boarding of big digital systems, FPGAs were developed over the past years for prototyping purposes. We have come up with similar thing for analog world. It’s like FPGA, but instead of digital it will create analog circuits like integrator, differentiator, adder based on coding. We have one plan to make it possible. FPGAs use RTL coding like VHDL/verilog and has their own s/w which converts coding to circuit net list and which gets implemented in FPGAs, now at this stage we don’t have that much knowledge to develop our own synthesizer s/w, hence we’ll use following plan. We will have OP-AMPs in circuit, and passive components which has capability to change it’s value based on programming. For resisters we use something known as digital POTs and for capacitors NCD2100 which is digital programmable variable capacitor. We’ll have interconnection between all of them via FETs, which will act as programmable switches. Now for programming, one has to write commands, which will be decoded by ASCII codes and accordingly switch matrix is programmed to form desired circuit. There is digital circuit which accepts ASCII bits and programs solid state switches, and with this one can implement amps, integrator, differentiators, adders, instrument amplifiers and combination of all above. Application of this thing can be found in prototyping, educational purposes and implementation of PID controllers.

Authors: Nascimento Lucia Reis do , Alves Sandra Valongueiro
Published: January 2021

Introdução: O Registro Hospitalar de Câncer (RHC) é indispensável para identificação e monitoramento da morbimortalidade por câncer em nível hospitalar, mas pouco se conhece das condições de funcionamento desses registros no Brasil, principalmente aqueles da rede pública de saúde. Objetivo: Avaliar o funcionamento dos RHC em três Centros de Atenção Oncológica no nordeste brasileiro, através da análise de estrutura e processo e a influência dos aspectos contextuais no funcionamento desses registros. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de casos múltiplos, exploratório, utilizando-se um modelo lógico e uma matriz de indicadores, através da observação direta e entrevistas com os integrantes dos registros e com os diretores dessas instituições. Resultados: Os três RHC apresentavam diversos pontos que comprometiam seu funcionamento, relacionados à estrutura e ao processo. Na dimensão estrutura, os registros funcionavam em espaço físico compartilhado com outras atividades. Um registro dispunha de funcionários e equipamentos exclusivos e nenhum tinha rotinas internas escritas, registro das atividades e Comissão Assessora instalada. Foram relatadas a falta de apoio das coordenações estaduais, da coordenação local, da informática, além da ausência de recursos financeiros destinados à sua manutenção. Na dimensão processo, a verificação de inconsistências na coleta e digitação dos dados não era realizada, as equipes não conheciam a cobertura dos registros e não havia publicação ou utilização das informações dos RHC no planejamento dos hospitais. Conclusão: O funcionamento dos RHC foi incipiente, mostrando a necessidade de incluir a situação desses registros na discussão de estratégias para melhoria da qualidade da informação no controle do câncer.

Authors: Gallardo-López Felipe , Hernández-Chontal Mario Alejandro , Linares-Gabriel Ariadna , Cisneros-Saguilán Pedro
Published: January 2021

Objective: Analyze the contemporary scientific contributions of the Masters and Doctorate Graduate Program in Tropical Agroecosystems (PTA) taught at the Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Veracruz, facing the current challenges of Mexican agriculture.
Design/methodology/approach: A bibliographic search was carried out in SCOPUS and Web of Science, on papers (N = 92) published during 2014-2019 by PTA research-professors. A textual analysis was carried out using Nvivo Software to identify the scientific contributions, based on problematic categories suggested by FAO for Mexico.
Results: Scientific contributions are more prolific in relation to the increment of agricultural productivity (66 %), to a lesser extent in sustainable practices (14.9 %), articulation of public policies (10.6%), and initiating in adaptation and mitigation of climate risks (8.5 %).
Limitations of the study/implications: Findings excluded publications not indexed in SCOPUS or Web of Science or out of the analyzed period.
Findings/conclusions: The PTA shows social relevance in the generation of knowledge, with scientific contributions to the current challenges of Mexican agriculture. However, they have mainly focused on increasing agricultural productivity; this does not allow the achievement of the challenges of the PTA towards research processes aimed at trans discipline. This suggests a new research role that approach disciplinary interfaces.

Published: January 2021

The existence of a civilization is of concern to both Western and Eastern scientists. Scientists observe and examine the various factors that led to the fall and rise of a civilization. They also explore various things that make the existence of a civilization survive amidst various challenges. In the perspective of Muslim scientists, there are various factors that cause a civilization to exist and a civilization to collapse. According to them, one of the factors that can cause the collapse of a civilization is tyranny. Meanwhile, one of the most dominant factors determining the existence of a civilization is social justice. This article will elaborate the dialectical spiral civilization paradigm from the perspective of Muslim scientists.

Keberadaan peradaban menjadi perhatian para ilmuwan Barat dan Timur. Ilmuwan mengamati dan meneliti berbagai faktor yang menyebabkan jatuhnya suatu peradaban.

Indonesian language learning in schools is directed at improving students’ language skills, bothin the aspects of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Speaking is one of the language skillsthat is vulnerable in relation to spoken ethics. Language ethics is defined as a normative rule oflanguage use which becomes a general guideline agreed by the language user community thatsuch a method is recognized as a language that is polite, respectful, and in accordance with thevalues that apply in society. Someone who is skilled at speaking must consider what will be saidbefore speaking. It is not wrong if the saying goes that language is someone’s personal mirror.The phrase shows that a person’s personality can be judged by his speech in language. Formany people, good words, gentle, polite, will portray someone as a good person and virtuouscharacter. Conversely, rude and bad words will also cause a bad image in the person. On thatbasis, Indonesian speech ethics has an important role in learning in schools which also contributes to the student’s character education curriculum.

Published: January 2021

The national branch of the hunting economy is an integral part of the national economy of the state and plays one of the important roles in the use and conservation of natural resources, which is the necessary condition for further development of the state. It should be noted that during the investigation period the development of the hunting industry is unsatisfactory and is characterized by high level of losses of many hunting farms and low number of hunted animal species. This encourages many national scientists to find the ways to improve the functioning of this area of national economy. Many national researchers, particularly: V. Bondarenko, G. Govda, P. Khoyetsky, R. Novikov, Y. Muravyov, A. Volokh, A. Bashta, V. Burmas, I. Delegan, V. Myronenko, O. Protsiv, I. Sheremeta and others devoted their investigations to the problems and prospects of the development of this field, as well as to the organizational-economic and normative-legal aspects of its functioning, problems of hunting reformation and its state regulation. Most of these researches point out that national hunting industry requires reformation taking into account the successful experience of neighboring European countries. The current state of hunting economy of Ukraine is analyzed in this paper. The main economic indicators of this industry such as: change in the national hunting areas during the investigation period and their distribution among the users of different forms of ownership, the number of full-time employees of the industry and hunters, as well as the number of hunting animal species – the main resource of the hunting economy are considered. The sources of monetary income of hunting farms are given and analyzed. During the process of investigation of the current state of hunting industry, it is determined that its functioning is influenced by many negative factors, causing the loss of many domestic hunting farms. While assessing the current state of the hunting industry of Ukraine, it is found that in order to find the ways for the improvement of this industry efficiency, the comprehensive monitoring of its current state, as well as system investigation of the problems hindering its development are required.
