“Homosex, Hermaph, or Trans-a-vest…Hate Fags? The Answer’s Yes”: Hypermasculinity in America and Commodified Homophobia Through the Lens of Hip Hop
Authors: Ciro Annalisa
Published: April 2019

Birthed in the Bronx in response to socioeconomic frustration and political invigoration, hip hop equipped youth of color in the U.S. with a dynamic platform to both communication resentment towards structures of systemic oppression and act as an outlet for fun, innovative, and uninhibited creative expression. However, as this cultural revolution transformed from an underground movement to a mainstream commodity, rap music that reflected stereotypes of Black hyper-masculinity and heteronormativity were prioritized, and rappers who embodied these roles and the ideologies paired with them rose to the top of the charts. As a result of the music industry’s prioritization of hyper-masculine, heteronormative rap, a genre with the power to project the voices of marginalized communities of color in America at the same time became an active participant in the marginalizing of another—the LGBT+ community. Yet as rap music is notorious for its attacks on the LGBT+ community, I argue that this homophobia is not contained or exacerbated within hip hop, but rather is a by-product of a homophobic society that, through hyper-masculine and heteronormative norms, nurtures these attitudes within the male-driven genre. Through a textual analysis of rap lyrics, my paper highlights where the homophobic attitudes within hip hop stem from by locating broader societal structures that foster these ideals outside the genre. Taking this step back and looking at the larger issues within American society that nurture this homophobic environment within hip hop allows us to understand and address the phenomenon within the genre more clearly.
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ETHICS-TRAINING PROGRAMS IN THE BANKING SECTOR
Authors: Bizri Rima M. , El Bizri Ihab
Published: April 2019

Academic and professional interest in organizational ethics-training is on the rise as advances in technology and global reach create increasing opportunities for violations of moral standards. To mitigate risks associated with moral hazard, organizations strive to create an ethical culture by offering formal ethics-training programs. Notably, the literature is rich with studies that confirm a positive effect of ethics-training programs on employee ethical behavior. However, such programs may become mere cosmetics in the presence of a weak ethical culture, a non-ethics oriented supervisor, and lack of policy enforcement. This study investigates the roles played by the afore-mentioned factors on the relationship between formal ethics-training and employee ethical intentions. The quantitative approach is used and data are analyzed using structural equation modeling with IBM’s Amos. Important findings are reported and relevant implications suggested.
Theorizing CSR Reporting: A Discursive Institutionalism Framework
Authors: Ismaeel Muatasim
Published: April 2019

Although CSR reporting is a well-established business practice now, it is still an emerging genre that lacks convergence and standardization. Different theoretical perspectives are used to study CSR reporting. These perspectives agree on the instrumental nature of CSR reporting, while they vary in the aspects of the practice they emphasize and in their normative assumptions. Using ‘Discursive Institutionalism’ as a theoretical lens, different practices in the field can be incorporated in the proposed framework to reach a comprehensive understanding of CSR reporting phenomenon. The paper aims to propose a theoretical framework for CSR reporting research that enables a holistic and comprehensive explanation that is inclusive of different practices and normative assumptions in the field. The proposed framework utilizes new developments in Institutional Theory that emphasize multiple institutional logics, the hybridity of social practices, the role of social agents, and the discursive aspect of institutions. The proposed theoretical framework adds a new comprehensive perspective to CSR reporting research. It provides a solid theoretical base for further investigation of different practices in the field.
THE ANTECEDENTS OF WORK RELATED STRESS
Authors: Bin Ahmad Prof. Kamarul Zaman , Bakar Raida Abu , Ing Chua Weng
Published: April 2019

This research aims to test the limits of the theory that have found certain relationships in the West relating to the antecedents of stress. This research aims to show that much of the theories and research in the West are culture-bound and do not necessarily apply to other countries such as Malaysia and especially among certain age groups such as those between 15 years and 34 years known as Generation Y. Results of regression show that role ambiguity, work intensification,  working conditions are significant predictors of work-related stress but role conflict, relationship with colleagues, and bullying or harassment are not significant predictors. Possible reasons for this phenomenon are offered.
Women Entrepreneuurs and Survival of Small Scale Enterprises in Nigeria
Authors: Muhammad Lawal
Published: April 2019

This research set out to analyze the women entrepreneurs and survival of small–scale enterprises in Nigeria. The objective of this paper is to determine the extent of women entrepreneurs and survival of SSEs in Nigeria. One Hundred and Twenty Eight (128) questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. Data collected were analyzed using multiple regressions. The results revealed that Women entrepreneurs experience and women entrepreneurs’ level of education have significant effect on the survival of small scale enterprises in Nigeria. The study therefore, concluded that an increase in training or improvement in the activities of women entrepreneurship will lead to a significant increase in the maintenance and sustainability of SSEs in Nigeria. This paper recommended that since, women entrepreneurs experience and high level of education led to the survival of SSEs in Nigeria therefore, the Nigerian government should provide an avenue for adequate funding, training on entrepreneurship, provision of infrastructural facilities and enabling environment in order to enhance the women entrepreneurial activities as this would translate to increase in an income generation, provision of employment and reduction of poverty in Nigeria.

O Turismo de eventos mostra-se uma importante forma de driblar a sazonalidade turística, característica dos destinos cuja oferta principal é o lazer. No município de Bonito/MS, consolidado como destino de ecoturismo, os eventos vêm se tornando uma importante fonte de oferta turística. Esse trabalho teve o objetivo principal entender o processo de consolidação do município de Bonito/MS como um destino de eventos. Para isso, recorreu-se como método de pesquisa o levantamento bibliográfico, levantamento de dados secundários sobre oferta de demanda e uma pesquisa de campo que culminou na aplicação de entrevista semiestruturada aos dirigentes do Convention Bureau. Como resultados, foi possível perceber que o turismo de eventos no município, encontra-se bem estruturado e consequentemente preparado para crescer dentro das perspectivas e oportunidades externas que geram, no setor de eventos, uma tendência a descentralização, e uma maior procura por destinos como Bonito. Entretanto, identifica-se a necessidade de amadurecimento das pesquisas no sentido de entender se as alterações identificadas na oferta de demanda turística terão o poder de alterar significativamente o uso turístico que hoje acontecesse nesse território.

Published: April 2019

La región semiárida de Bahía Blanca -SO pampeano-, sufrió en años recientes una intensa sequía que determinó una reducción inusual del almacenamiento de agua en el dique Paso de las Piedras (mínimo: 154.1 m snm), fuente de abastecimiento de agua potable de las ciudades de Bahía Blanca y Punta Alta. Aunque esta emergencia ha finalizado, la población sin acceso a la red pública de agua potable utiliza el acuífero freático y el termal profundo. En ambos, se evaluó la calidad del agua (CAA, OMS, USEPA) determinando As, F, B y V. El As (18 - 500 µg L-1) alcanzó máximos en Gral. D. Cerri y Villa Aeropuerto, asociado a elevado F (2.500-3.500 µg L-1). En el sector Los Chañares, urbanización sin conexión a la red, la salinidad fue alta. El B fue <300 µg L-1 solo en un 3% de las aguas freáticas al NE de Bahía Blanca. El V alcanzó 50-500 µg L-1 (43% de las muestras), 500-1.000 µg L-1 (35%) y 1.000-2.450 µg L-1 (12%). La tendencia general mostró incrementos hacia el litoral atlántico y una distribución geográfica de las concentraciones en áreas heterogéneas de concentraciones preferenciales. El termal tuvo As, B, y F aceptable para uso humano, en un 35% de las muestras presentó V y en algunas áreas del ONO arrojó 300-600 µg L-1 de B.
Problemática territorial asociada al uso público en la Reserva de Biosfera «Parque Atlántico Mar Chiquito», Argentina
Authors: Morea Juan Pablo
Published: April 2019

El fenómeno expansionista impulsado por la etapa actual del capitalismo ha llevado a una gran escasez de nuevos territorios productivos y ha instaurado una problemática territorial en donde los espacios ricos en recursos naturales y biodiversidad pasan a ser vistos como grandes áreas de reserva para el mundo. Las Reservas de Biosfera enfrentan hoy más que en otros tiempos el desafío de compatibilizar el uso público y la conservación para evitar convertirse en territorios colonizados y refuncionalizados por los intereses económicos. Mediante un abordaje que combina relevamientos bibliográficos con trabajos de campo este trabajo se propuso analizar el caso de la Reserva de Biosfera de Mar Chiquita caracterizando el uso del espacio e identificando las principales problemáticas territoriales. Los resultados reflejan la existencia de una problemática territorial asociada a las deficiencias en el manejo del uso público, y conflictos sociales derivados de disputas por el uso del espacio y el aprovechamiento de los recursos.

Authors: Pérez Cutillas Pedro , Amado Álvarez Jesús Pilar , Segovia Ortega Elsa Fabiola , Conesa García Carmelo , Alarcón Cabañero Juan José
Published: April 2019

El desarrollo de las actividades humanas ha provocado un notable deterioro ambiental en la cuenca del río Conchos. La deforestación, los cambios de uso del suelo, el sobrepastoreo y la contaminación química de las aguas originada por las actividades agrícolas han contribuido a esta degradación, pero el principal factor de deterioro ambiental lo constituye la contaminación de las aguas superficiales provocada por los vertidos de aguas residuales urbanas y de desechos industriales. Los resultados más relevantes obtenidos en los análisis de agua ofrecen unos valores de oxígeno disuelto muy bajos, con niveles medios de 4.06 mg L-1. También se han constatado elevadas tasas de turbidez, que en algunos casos han superado los 980 NTU. El estudio concluye poniendo de manifiesto la necesidad de adoptar cambios sustanciales en los usos y prácticas agrícolas, y de reformar los sistemas de gestión integral relacionados con el tratamiento de los efluentes urbanos e industriales, con el fin de mejorar la calidad de las aguas y evitar posibles riesgos para la salud pública.

Individual differences in bodily attention: Variability in anticipatory mu rhythm power is associated with executive function abilities and processing speed
Authors: Weiss Staci Meredith
Published: April 2019

The ability to anticipate, attend and respond appropriately to specific stimuli is involved in the execution of everyday tasks. The current investigation examined the relations between cognitive skills measured by the NIH Toolbox and changes in the power of mu oscillations during anticipation of and in response to a tactile stimulus. Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity was measured after a visuospatial cue directed adults (n=40) to monitor their right or left hand for upcoming tactile stimulation. In the 500 ms prior to the onset of the tactile stimulus, a desynchronization was apparent 8 – 14 Hz at contralateral central sites, consistent with prior investigations of mu rhythm; a widespread synchronization was apparent in the 250 ms proceeding delivery of the tactile stimulus. The extent of contralateral reduction in mu power was associated with speed processing ability, while ipsilateral mu power was associated with flanker performance and marginally correlated with card sort performance. Regression further probe the significance and specificity of these effects. Increases in mu power following onset of the tactile stimulus were not associated with any behavioral measures. Mu modulation during attention to a specific bodily location appears related to variability in the broader ability to regulate behavior in a goal-directed manner, and perhaps to speed of stimulus processing.

POST-EVENT PLASTIC FAILURE ANALYSIS OF SHEAR FRAMES FROM THEIR PRE-EVENT ELASTIC RESPONSE
Authors: Alimoradi Arzhang
Published: April 2019

We demonstrate that plastic failure loads of shear frames can be inferred from their elastic ambient response. The interstory plastic mechanism force is derived for moment-resisting (rigid) frames as a function of two measured elastic (low-amplitude) frequencies. Structural health monitoring techniques are traditionally devised for “post-event” assessment of structures after exposure of a facility to a potentially damaging loading event such as strong earthquakes or blasts. The knowledge of induced damage, its location, and severity in an otherwise functioningstructure, as important as it is, may be too late for precautionary preparations. Naturally, one is interested in identiﬁcation of potential failure mechanisms and indicators prior to damaging events when a structure is responding to environmental loads elastically. Are post-event plastic failure loads identiﬁable from the pre-event ambient response? We answer this question by ﬁrst deriving interstory shear stiﬀness values from a set of measured ambient frequencies that are then incorporated into post-elastic equilibrium equations for a closed-form expression of failure loads as a function of measured frequencies. We test our procedure using a typical shear frame example as proof of concept. To extend the relevance and applicability of the proposed procedure we consider uncertainties associated with the measured and estimated quantities and assess their eﬀects in our model output. The closed-form solutions presented allow study of fully-stressed designs and we present the optimal stiﬀness distribution for such designs as another example. It is anticipated that temporal relevance of structural health monitoring techniques to “pre-event” assessment will be extended in the near future to such promising technologies as earthquake early warning systems.

Trade and Development in an Era of Multipolarity and Reterritorialization
Authors: Thomas Chantal
Published: April 2019

This essay will consider two phenomena emergent within international trade law and policy: multipolarity (the emergence of new global powers alongside existing hegemons) and reterritorialization (the rise, sometimes in quite virulent form, of economic nationalism as a basis for asserting State controls over, and barriers to, cross-border trade). These new dynamics present serious challenges and dangers.1 This essay will consider whether they might also create opportunities for reshaping the international economic order to be more supportive of the longstanding concerns of developing States. In doing so, the essay will elucidate key aspects of both the global political economy and the international norms and institutions that have helped to shape it.
The Open Science Movement is For All of Us
Authors: Syed Moin
Published: April 2019

The open science movement has been gaining steam in numerous scientific disciplines (e.g., ecology, cancer biology, economics) as well as sub-disciplines of psychology (e.g., social, personality). These issues, however, are still not widely understood nor seen as applicable to all types of research. This presentation will include an overview of core issues in the open science movement and how they apply to all types of psychological research (any sub-discipline, any method). Emphasis will be placed on how incorporating open science principles can improve both theoretical and empirical work in psychology.

Triphala - An Indigenous Ayurvedic Mouthwash As An Anti-Inflammatory Agent - A Clinical Study
Authors: Chatterjee Shibam , Manohar Balaji , Shetty Neema , Mathur Aditi , Makhijani Barkha
Published: April 2019

Background: An antiplaque agent with minimal side effects that can be used as an effective adjunct to mechanical plaque control is needed. Mouthwash has been used for centuries for medicinal and cosmetic purposes, but in recent years, the rationale behind the use of chemical ingredients has been subjected to scientific research and clinical trials. Herbal medicines are in great demand in the developed as well as in developing countries for primary health care because of their wide biological and medicinal activities, higher safety margin, and lower costs. Triphala mouthwash used in Ayurveda since ancient times, is well-known for its anti-plaque, anti-gingivitis and anti-microbial properties.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effects of an indigenously prepared 0.6% triphala mouthwash on dental plaque and gingival inflammation with a commercially available chlorhexidine mouthwash.

Materials and Methods: 20 subjects in the age group of 20-40 years with mild to moderate gingivitis were selected and divided into two equal groups in the study. Following oral prophylaxis, Group I (n=10) subjects were instructed to rinse with 10 ml of 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash, Group II (n=10) subjects with 10 ml of 0.6% triphala mouthwash twice daily for 14 days. Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified, Turesky- Gilmore-Glickman modification of Quigley-Hein-Plaque index and Gingival Index were recorded at baseline, 7 and 14 days respectively.

Results: Group I and Group II subjects showed statistically significant results in the reduction of the clinical parameters (p < 0.001). Group I subjects showed statistically significant results in reduction of the plaque status (p < 0.05) whereas; Group II subjects showed significant reduction in the gingival inflammation (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Although, 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash yielded better results, 0.6%Triphala mouthwash may be used for short duration of time without any potential side-effects as an alternative to chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing gingival inflammation.
Brown Tumour of Jaw Bone: A Diagnostic Attribute of Hyperparathyroidism

Published: April 2019

Brown tumour is an uncommon focal giant cell lesion that arises as a result of direct effect of parathyroid hormone on bone tissue in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The lesion is characterized by extensive bone resorption which is replaced by fibrovascular tissue and giant cell with abundant deposit of haemosiderin. A rare case of Brown tumour in maxilla and mandible in 57-year-old female patient is reported. This case report highlights the importance of detailed systemic investigation for all the maxillofacial lesions since it could be the diagnostic attribute of the systemic diseases.
Amlodipine induced Gingival Overgrowth in Patients at a Tertiary Level Hospital of Nepal
Authors: Sharma Arun , Joshi Rinku , Laxmi Rana Sweta Rajya , Shrestha Dhan Bahadur , Joshi Pramod Raj , Khadka Sitarama
Published: April 2019

Background: Amlodipine is a commonly prescribed anti-hypertensive in clinical practice. Gingival overgrowth is a rare side effect of this drug; with a reported prevalence of 1.7-3.3% in literature. Gingival overgrowth can cause aesthetic and functional problems as well as cause hindrance to maintain proper oral hygiene, thereby deteriorating the periodontal condition of the patient. The prevalence of Amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth is poorly defined in our country.

Aim: This study aims to assess Amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth in a tertiary level referral hospital of Nepal Army.

Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on hypertensive patients with amlodipine therapy under regular follow up in the Department of Internal Medicine of Shree Birendra Hospital from September to December 2017. The data from record keeping was used for the study. Ethical clearance from Institutional Review committee of Nepal Army Institute of Health Sciences was obtained before conducting the study.

Results: Out of 507 patients taking amlodipine, 240 were eligible for study and six (2.5%) were found to have amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth. These patients were on a dose of 5-10 mg over six months to 25 years. The gingival overgrowth was correlated with dose and duration which was statistically significant (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Low prevalence of amlodipine induced gingival overgrowth and correlation with dose and duration was seen in this short-term study. However further large-scale follow-up studies may be required to assess the severity of the problem.

Published: April 2019

Background: Porous hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP + HA) bone grafting material has resulted in clinically acceptable responses when used to fill the periodontal intrabony defects. PRF is an autologous leukocyte and platelet preparation that concentrates various polypeptide growth factors which therefore holds potential to be used as regenerative treatment for periodontal defects.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes in periodontal intrabony defects treated with platelet rich fibrin compared to alloplastic bone graft material.

Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects (10 subject per group, one site/subject) were treated either with platelet rich fibrin or alloplastic bone graft (30% β-TCP+ 70% HA). Primary clinical parameters: PD, CAL were taken at baseline, three months, six months and nine months post-operatively. Standardised radiographic data were collected at baseline, six months and nine months postoperatively.

Results: Preoperative parameters were similar for both groups. Postsurgical measurements revealed a greater reduction in pocket depth in bone graft group (2.5 mm), greater CAL gain (2.2 mm) and greater defect fill (1.30 mm) as compared to platelet rich fibrin group (1.50 mm, 1.6 mm and 0.80 mm respectively ) at nine months.

Conclusion: Treatment of intrabony defects with alloplast (30% β TCP+ 70% HA) or platelet rich fibrin both resulted in a significant probing depth reduction, CAL gain and bone depth reduction, with significantly better improvement in bone graft group.
Root Submergence Technique: Forgotten Terrain Revisited
Authors: Shrestha Rejina , Pradhan Shaili , Gorkhali Ranjita Shrestha , Verma Anand
Published: April 2019

The resorption of the alveolar ridge is an inevitable phenomenon after tooth extraction and continues throughout the lifespan of an individual. Socket preservation, hard and soft tissue augmentation procedures are indicated to compensate alveolar bone resorption. Compensation can also be done by masking with acrylic flanges, pink porcelain and gingival veneers. However, procedures to preserve the bone anticipatory to the loss after extraction should be prioritised. This paper reports a case of fractured non-vital tooth where root submergence technique was done. A follow-up at 6 months presents intact bone aiding in the aesthetics and function of the prosthesis.
