Authors: Георгян Надія , Садова Тетяна , Бонзарева Наталія
Published: December 2021

Стаття має науково-методичний характер та розкриває теоретичне підґрунтя та досвід роботи з проблеми формування основ етнічної культури у старших дошкільників засобами активної анімації. Проаналізовано авторські підходи до трактування поняття етнічної культури та особливості формування основ етнічної культури у дітей дошкільного віку. Визначено, що засвоєння культури етносу в дошкільному віці дає змогу розуміти народні традиції, мову, надає можливість дітям стати носіями власної національної культури. Одним із засобів розвитку етнічної культури виступає мистецтво мультиплікації, створення мультфільму дітьми як засобу організації освітнього процесу.

Акцентовано увагу на особливостях етнокультурного виховання, важливим завданням якого є формування умінь дитини орієнтуватися в етнокультурі, самостійно діяти в етнокультурному середовищі. Діти повинні набути досвіду виконання соціальних ролей, засвоїти властиву народу культуру світобачення та поведінки. Реалізація означених завдань здійснювалась завдяки використанню проектної технології «Мультмайстерня» як інтерактивної моделі освітнього процесу.

Проектна технологія «Мультмайстерня» визначається як системотворчий компонент формування особистості, як фактор інтеграції соціальних запитів і педагогічних умов. Провідними лініями збагачення освітнього процесу з формування основ етнічної культури було визначено: предметно-інформаційну збагаченість; регулятивно-моральну забезпеченість; емоційно-ціннісну, культурну спрямованість; продуктивно-творчу діяльність.

Доведено, що ефективне формування основ етнічної культури у старших дошкільників можливе за умови використання технології «Мультмайстерня». Створення мультфільму наближає дітей до нових явищ життя, особливостей буття етносу. Засвоєння культури відбувається через зміст мультфільму. Діти вживаються в різні соціальні позиції, знайомляться з особливостями взаємовідносин. Використання технології «Мультмайстерня» допомагає дитині знайти відповідь на глибинні запитання: Де я народився? Де я живу? На кого я схожий? Якою мовою розмовляю? та ін. Дошкільники здобувають первинні знання про свою етнічну приналежність, опановують соціальний досвід народу, його традиції та звичаї.

Authors: Jeson Wilson John  , Ashwin Harikrishnan
Published: December 2021

Solar flat plate collectors (FPC) are used for heating spaces, water heating, and many other purposes. The present technology of solar flat collectors uses vertical fins. The solar flat plate collector having absorber with vertical fins is provided with a helical tape in the fluid flow path. The absorber plate in the solar flat plate collector has an area of 100 cm x 50 cm. The solar flat plate collector has nine ducts with an area of 27.5 cm x 9.5 cm each. The helical tapes attached have a start angle of 64 deg which pass along the whole length of the duct. The helical tapes have a crosssection area of 1.5 mm x 4 mm. The pitch of the helical tapes is 100 mm. These fins have been attached between the vertical fins of the thickness of 1mm and a height of 10.5 cm. Data such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature efficiency and convective heat transfer coefficient are calculated. The mass flow rate of air is 10.28 kg/s and the air is subjected to solar radiation between 628.98 W/m2 and 708.59 W/m2. The values are noted down, and the and the efficiency is noted to have a 10% rise. The effectiveness of the solar plate collector will increase using a helical fin. A comparative analysis will be done between the conventional flat plate collector and the setup with the helical tapes. The study will show that the helical tapes in flat plate collector will be the best alternative compared to conventional flat plate collector.

Published: December 2021

Currently cobalt-based alloys are seemingly not really envisaged for constituting waste-to-energy boilers, although that the WtE working conditions are similar to those encountered in some applications in which Co-based superalloys are successfully used. To test the behavior of the cast chromium-rich cobalt-based alloys’ family, two model alloys belonging to the later one were cast and samples were exposed during more than ten days to a hot complex gaseous mixture and to synthetic ashes. After test the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and SEM observations. The results of the characterization of the first sample, the one exposed to the hot complex gaseous atmosphere, were presented in the first part of this work. This second part concerns the post-mortem analysis of the second sample, the one immersed in ashes. It appears first that this one was not protected by any external oxide scale. Instead, a mixture of oxides and chlorides formed and reaction between these corrosion products with ashes obviously led to an intermediate liquid phase. Internal oxidation/chloridation of the chromium carbides network obviously occurred over a 500μm-depth from the surface happened. The responsibility of an active oxidation mechanism analogous to what was earlier observed on steels is envisaged.

Published: December 2021

In the present study the microstructural features and tribological characteristics of hot forged A356 Al alloy subjected to SIMA (Strain induced melt activation) and T6 heat treatment (semi-solid) processes have been investigated. The SIMA process consists of hot forging of alloy at 325˚C followed by cold forging at room temperature, isothermal holding at 580˚C for 10 min and quenching. In case of T6 heat treatment, the hot forged alloy was solution treated at 540˚C for 4 hours followed by quenching in cold water and artificial aging at 155˚C for 3 hours. The microstructure of the alloy exhibited a spherical or globular morphology of the primary α-phase with uniform distribution of solutes in the interdendritic region. A detailed analysis of the solidification behaviour of the melt from semi-solid region of the alloy is reported. The reasons for the consequential changes in tribological properties of A356 Al alloy processed by SIMA andT6 heat treatment have been clearly brought out.
Coupled Modelling of ZrO2/α-Zr(O) Layers Growth under Thermal and Mechanical Gradients
Authors: J-B. Minne  , V. Optasanu  , T. Montesin
Published: December 2021

The oxidation process of a nuclear reactor fuel rod clad made of zirconium is simulated. It is assumed that the oxygen is transported by anionic diffusion in the zirconia layer (ZrO2). Part of this oxygen reacts at the interface between the zirconia layer and the metal, while the rest diffuses in the oxygen-enriched metal volume (a-Zr(O)) to the core of the metal by an interstitial mechanism. The model is based on the thermodynamics of irreversible processes and takes into account the influence of driving forces on the oxygen migration in the metal such as the oxygen concentration gradient, the temperature gradient [1] and the mechanical stress gradient [2]. The growth of both ZrO2 and a-Zr(O) layers are simulated using the finite element software CAST3M. This model has been applied on an axisymmetric geometry by imposing a heat flow on the fuel side and a constant temperature on the waterside of the clad. The differences obtained in the inner and outer sides of the nuclear clad concerning the oxidation kinetics and oxygen distribution are related to some coupling parameters. Several values of those parameters are used in the simulations to highlight their influence on the oxidation behavior. Thus, we show that negative values for the heat of transport, which relates the gradient of ocncentration and the gradient of temperature, give coherent results with experimental observations on oxidation kinetics for both sides of the clad.

Published: December 2021

Phosphorus-doped graphene is known to exhibit good electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). While the ORR activity of P-doped graphene nanoribbons (PGNR) is still unclear. Taking the common graphene nanoribbons with the edges of armchair as an example in this study, we research the mechanistic investigation of ORR on the PGNR under acidic electrolytic conditions by density functional theory (DFT). Based on the keen observation of the atomic charge distribution and adsorption energy at different sites, P atom in PGNR is considered to be the strongest adsorption site with oxygen. Detailed ORR mechanistic was deduced by the investigation of reaction heat, reaction barrier for each possible step and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Based on our calculations, when the contribution of the intermediate product to the ORR activity is not considered, PGNR does not possess the property as an ORR catalyst due to several high reaction barriers and some endothermic reactions for ORR path.
Characteristics for Improvement of Compressive Strength of Geopolymers Made of Mixed Binders
Authors: Tatsuya Koumoto
Published: December 2021

Geopolymers are composite hard materials made by mixing binders, such as fly ash and slags, and activators, such as NaOH and sodium silicate. The chemical mechanism for hardening composite materials, aluminosilicate binders, with alkaline activators is known as a geopolymer reaction. Geopolymers have recently been developed to be used as a replacement for Portland cement concrete. Industrial by-products such as fly ash, steel making slags, and garbage melting furnace slags can be made into geopolymers in a process that emits less carbon dioxide than in the cement making process. This reduction in CO2 emission is important because CO2 is one of the substances known to contribute to global warming. In the future, further uses of these fly ash and slags must be explored. The development of high compressive strength geopolymers using fly ash and slags will strongly contribute to the fields of construction, geotechnical engineering, and architecture.
So far, ground blast furnace slag has yielded the highest compressive strength geopolymer among various kind of binders such as fly ash, ground stainless steel-making slag, and garbage melting furnace slags. A potential use for the poor binders, yielding low compressive strength geopolymers, is to combine it with a richer binder to create stronger products. This paper examines the characteristics for improvement of compressive strength of geopolymers for the binders in various mixture ratios of poor binders and the ground blast furnace slag.

Children are a gift entrusted by God to parents to protect their safety both in the world and in the hereafter. The care that is given to children is of course not arbitrary, it requires complete love and full responsibility to guide them so that they are safe and always be in their nature. Therefore, parents are obliged to pay attention to all aspects of child development, starting based on the child's welfare, health & education. Not a few of the parents who send their children to madrasah on the grounds that children receive deeper religious guidance. There is a hope that parents make their children as students so that the knowledge of religion can be a foundation for creating good morals, so that children will have powerful guidelines for returning all their affairs according to Islamic principles. This study aims to find out the self-understanding of students through studying the Ta'limul Muta'alim book, self-direction of the students through studying the Ta'limul Muta'alim book, and self-actualizing through the study of the Ta'limul Muta'alim book. Moral guidance is an effort to guide a person in a direction that is beneficial to his life through self-understanding, and self-direction in future actualization through the system of monotheism to Allah SWT which is manifested in a commendable form of attitude. Because the moral aspect discusses behavior, deeds and courtesy, both to Allah SWT and to fellow humans. Including the obligations that must be carried out by students who must be cultivated in order to achieve perfect morals. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, which describes the facts found in the field using data collection techniques through observation, interviews, & documentation. Using data validity through credibility, transferbility, dependability & confirmability tests. The results of the study illustrate that 1) the self-understanding of the magrib santri to recite through the study of the book Ta'limul Muta'alim the santri are introduced to the potential good morals that they have in Allah SWT, Morals in teachers, other students and morals in science; 2) Self-direction of students through starting with straightening the intention because of Allah SWT, practicing patience as well as keistiqomahan, & tawakal in Allah SWT; 3) Self-actualization through the study of the Book of Ta'limul Muta'alim can be seen from the achievement of indicators regarding the students' self-understanding of the moral potential they have. In this study, the students showed good and sufficient self-understanding and direction.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL SUPPORT OF INTERACTION BETWEEN POLICE AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Authors:   Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, Anisimov Kyrylo
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the administrative and legal support of interaction between the police and local communities. It is stated that the creation of partnerships between the police and civil society is a priority area of policing in the implementation of law enforcement. The administrative and legal support for the establishment of partnerships between these institutions is described as having a dynamic character, and is aimed at improving the organizational and legal framework for cooperation between the police and the community. The priority role of the Constitution of Ukraine in the process of forming the administrative and legal status of the National Police of Ukraine has been determined, as the constitutional and legal conditionality of the content and normative-legal content of policing is related to the reproduction in the legislation on the National Police of Ukraine of values of man and citizen. The priority areas of the police are formulated in the process of interaction with the population, in particular: analysis of security problems that can be solved in interaction with the population; determination of social populations and priorities in working with these groups; development of programs (directions of work) of interaction with the population, where the interests of various social groups will be taken into account; procedures for determining the need and priority to implement these programs in specific communities; determination of the most effective methods, methods and forms of solving security issues in cooperation with the population; determination of the circle of partners among state and local institutions for the implementation of initiatives; joint development of an action plan with the involvement of partners; development of procedures for analyzing the effectiveness of implemented projects, in particular, assessing their compliance with the requests of specific communities in the field of security. In addition, the partner model provides not only the direct active participation of the population in law enforcement agencies to ensure public order, but also timely informing the police to the population on all the facts of committing criminal and administrative offenses.

The article analyzes the state of legislation on the implementation of bodies and departments of the National Police permitting and approval functions in the field of economy. On the basis of the conducted research the following basic directions of improvement of a legal basis for realization by police of the specified functions are offered: 1) consolidation at the level of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Police" and the Regulation on the National Police of police powers to issue permits in the field of arms, special means of self-defense, ammunition, explosives, as well as permits for the use of facilities and premises carrying out activities on the circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors; 2) coordination of the list of paid services provided by the units of the National Police approved by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with the provisions of special regulations on the types of permits issued by these units; 3) extension of the Law of Ukraine "On Permitting System in the Sphere of Economic Activity" to relations on issuing permits to economic entities for the handling of weapons, special means of self-defense, ammunition and explosives, as well as the development and adoption of a special law on the legal regime of weapons , special means of self-defense and ammunition with the enshrinement of the main provisions on the peculiarities of the issuance by the police of the above permits; 4) bringing in line with the Law of Ukraine "On the permitting system in the field of economic activity" special regulations governing the issuance by the police of permits to participate in traffic of vehicles whose weight or size parameters exceed the normative; approvals of routes of movement of vehicles during road transportation of dangerous goods; permits for the use of facilities and premises intended for activities related to the circulation of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors; 5) filling the gaps in the legislation on the grounds and procedure for approval by police authorities of project documentation for the construction, reconstruction and repair of roads, streets and railway crossings, road service facilities, other road structures; construction of separate territories of settlements; general plans of individual buildings in settlements; projects of complex schemes of traffic organization and construction of urban electric transport lines; traffic organization schemes.
PROBLEMS OF LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF SANCTIONS IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
Authors:   Donetsk State University of Internal Affairs, Khobbi Yuliya
Published: December 2021

The article examines the problems of determining the nature and types of international sanctions and their relationship with countermeasures. The term "coercive measures" covers both "sanctions" and "countermeasures", although these concepts are not equivalent. By their nature, sanctions are not a form of international responsibility, but a means of its implementation, as the goal is not to punish, but to restore violated rights. It has been established that sanctions refer to coercive measures that can be applied only by international organizations, and states can take countermeasures to protect and restore their violated rights. Coercive measures that can be used as sanctions or countermeasures are very similar and involve mostly means of economic and political influence. The main difference is in the scale of application and the subjects. Improper use of terms by representatives of states, which denote coercive measures applied to other states, leads to the substitution of concepts and negatively affects the legal regulation of their application. Based on the above and analysis of foreign experience in the legal regulation of sanctions, the following shortcomings of the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" were revealed: there is no clear mechanism for introducing international sanctions and national countermeasures, a system of effective monitoring of these sanctions and bringing to responsibility for their violation, a debatable circle of subjects, against which sanctions are imposed. In order to eliminate these shortcomings, it is proposed to legally differentiate between international legal sanctions applied by international organizations and autonomous countermeasures in response to violations of the rights and legitimate interests of the state. Taking this into account, an appropriate structure in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be established to monitor the implementation of sanctions decisions, as well as involve relevant ministries under the general supervision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. A separate problem is the procedure for bringing to justice those guilty of violating the sanctions. Responsibility for violating the sanctions regime is not provided either by the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" or by sectoral codes.
SOME ISSUES OF PAYMENT OF PENSIONS TO PERSONS AFFECTED BY THE MILITARY CONFLICT IN THE EASTERN UKRAINE

Published: December 2021

The article focuses on the study of the problems of payment of pensions to internally displaced persons and residents of the occupied territories of Donbas. As Ukraine today faces a problem unknown to it – the need to address issues related to the payment of pensions to victims of the armed conflict in the Eastern Ukraine, there is a need to develop effective mechanisms for exercising the right for pensions for these categories of persons. Normative acts and practice of application of the legislation on provision of pensions of internally displaced persons and persons living in the temporarily occupied territories are analysed. The article shows the features of legal regulation of provision of pensions and develops theoretical and practical proposals and recommendations. Emphasis is made on the fact that the occupation of Ukrainian territories and the military aggression of the Russian Federation have forced Ukraine to respond to the problems of Ukrainian citizens affected by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It is concluded that the establishment of a special procedure for repayment of arrears of pension benefits for the past period by a court decision restricts internally displaced persons in the right for a pension and is illegal. Non-payment of pensions to residents of the occupied territories of Donbas violates their constitutional right for a pension. Emphasis is placed on the fact that such conditions are discriminatory, as other (less favourable) conditions for payment of pensions are defined. Based on the practice of application of the legislation, it was found that social protection bodies violate the constitutional rights of this category. It is proposed to strengthen the responsibility of officials for violating the constitutional rights of persons affected by the consequences of the armed conflict. It focuses on bringing Ukrainian legislation on pensions of persons who have suffered as a result of the occupation of Donbas in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine and international standards. It is proposed that the laws "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance" and "On Provision of Pensions" provide for a norm that would establish the obligation of officials who grant pensions to take into account the legal positions set forth in decisions of the Supreme Court and the results of their consideration of exemplary cases on pension issues. According to the author, it should be noted that ignoring this requirement entails disciplinary proceedings, and illegal refusal to pay a pension leads to criminal liability. With this purpose the author proposed to amend the Criminal Code and the supplement it with the article "Illegal refusal to appoint or pay a pension".

Clase Magistral de Intercambio. Evaluación de los Componentes Pragmáticos. Universidad Santa Paula-Universidad Autónoma de Chile
Authors: Alarcón Enzo
Published: December 2021

La pragmática es la rama de la lingüística o nivel del lenguaje que se orienta al estudio del uso social del lenguaje en situaciones comunicativas concretas y específicas; tanto en la vertiente receptiva (comprender no sólo las palabras sino la intención del otro), como en la expresión (ser capaz de transmitir información de manera eficaz, pertinente y de ajustar el lenguaje al contexto y al interlocutor). Es importante mencionar que el significado de las expresiones lingüísticas puede variar de acuerdo a la intencionalidad de los interlocutores y tener diversas interpretaciones según aspectos sociales, culturales y lingüísticos. En esta clase se abordan generalidades de la pragmática con algunos ejemplos de usos e interpretación de enunciados lingüísticos en Chile; así como también la evaluación en infantes en Chile, a través de los instrumentos IDTEL (metáforas e ironías) y Protocolo Pragmático de Prutting y Kirchner.
The power of synteny : deep evolutionary insights from comparative genomics
Authors:   , Abrahams Richard Shawn
Published: December 2021

Synteny, or the order of genes in a given genome, is an emergent property of individuals and species that has only, with the implementation of next gen-sequencing, become available for evolutionary consideration. In this dissertation, I leverage syntenic information in concert with sequence data to draw connections between evolutionary mechanisms, species divergence, and trait innovation. In Chapter I, I review the major themes that ties my dissertation research together, highlighting important mechanisms at work in evolutionary complexity and introducing the system of which it will be a part. In Chapter II, I use a phylogenomic approach to better understand species relationships within the tribe. I utilize transcriptome sequences and genome derived synteny information to improve orthology detection over standard sequence similarity approaches and gain greater insight into the relationships of the tribe. I also implement differential fractionation rate orthology inference information to address gene tree-species tree incongruence. In Chapter III, as published in Abrahams et al., 2020, I utilize a microsynteny network and phylogenetic inference to investigate the origin and diversification of the MAM/IPMS gene family. I uncover unique MAM-like genes found at the orthologous locus in the Cleomaceae that shed light on the transition from IPMS to MAM. In the Brassicaceae, I identify six distinct MAM clades across Lineages I, II, and III. I characterize the evolutionary impact and consequences of local duplications, transpositions, whole genome duplications, and gene fusion events, generating several new hypotheses on the function and diversity of the MAM locus.
When they see us : an initial development and evaluation of a culturally responsive police interaction training for black adolescents with ASD
Authors:   , Davenport Mattina A.
Published: December 2021

The purpose of the current study was to conduct a qualitative and experimental analysis of a culturally informed police safety skills training for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Qualitative focus groups and interviews were used to inform study design, and intervention procedures by exploring perceived barriers to safe interactions with law enforcement officers (LEO), preferred training settings, desired treatment modalities, and culturally appropriate simulated contexts. The current study focused primarily on meeting the unique training needs of Black adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A single case design was used to evaluate the initial efficacy and acceptability of a culturally responsive training method. Preliminary evidence about the physiological ramifications of police contact were also collected to begin to examine the broader behavioral and psychophysiological nature of youth's experiences. Understanding whether police interactions led to chanrtisol and heart rate variability provided insight into the physiological costs of police presence among Black adolescents with ASD. The current project is innovative and novel in that it used the integrated perceptions and knowledge of Black caregivers, Black adolescents, and local law enforcement to develop training methodology based on local norms. No police-focused study has yet to consider the integral aspect of anxious behaviors and social abilities in ASD youth. The current experimental design included in-person simulated contexts that youth, and caregivers, endorsed as relevant to their normal lives, which greatly strengthened the ecological validity of the approach.
Role of agricultural cooperatives in poverty reduction in Nepal : an empirical analysis
Authors:   , Dhakal Dinesh
Published: December 2021

Cooperatives refer to producer-owned and controlled organizations that improve farmers' livelihoods by correcting market failure. Policy makers consider cooperatives as an appropriate development approach for poverty alleviation of poor farmers for developing economies; therefore, the government of Nepal has been investing economic resources in this sector, prioritizing it as part of a strategy for poverty reduction. The number of coopertives have been increased substantially since 2007 and almost half of the coopertives are involved in agricultural sector. This dissertation research examines poor farmers' access to agricultural cooperatives and the impact of membership on their crop income in Nepal. This study is based on a household survey of 573 rural farm families and Key Informant Interviews of 37 managers of agricultural cooperatives. In order to make the inferences on access and income gain, probit regression, matching, ordinary least square and two-stage least squares techniqpropriate identification strategies for a cross-sectional data. This study predicts cooperative membership with household characteristics (including demographic and geographic information) and village characteristics. In addition, some of our models use village location dummies rather than village characteristics. The analysis identifies some key determinants that influence cooperative membership. Those determinants are the ethnicity of a family, the ethnicity of a neighborhood, smallholder land size, distance to agricultural cooperatives, distance to the nearest local market, and distance to a motorable road. For the second research question, our estimates imply that cooperative membership may significantly impact family net crop income but not the rotal family income. Indeed, currently, agricultural cooperatives appear to be focused on financial services like savings and credit activities but are less concerned with agricultural production, and engage in almost no marketing activities. In addition to analyses based on our sample, this study weights the sample to adjust our survey to reflect population estimates; however, there were no important changes in the direction or significance of the variables in weighted specifications compared to unweighted sample specifications. Finally, we conclude it will take some years for members to understand the cooperative guidelines thoroughly and the potential of the cooperative approach to improve economic conditions. Also, there should be a serious attempt from the government to develop the agricultural infrastructure and industry, and to execute a cooperative policy to reduce smallholders' poverty.

Ars moriendi as social reality : articulation of the good death in the United States
Authors:   , Valentine Douglas
Published: December 2021

Death and dying are often theorized as micro-level processes, focusing on the experience of the death process from the perspective of the dying, or in the context of grief and psychological healing on the part of the bereaved. While these academic analyses have merit, their analytic utility is limited. Death, dying, bereavement, and memorial are social processes that require multidisciplinary investigation. Utilizing sociological, religious studies, and ritual studies methodologies, this dissertation explores ars moriendi, or the good death, as a process enmeshed within the macro-structural forces of political, religious, economic, and social institutions. Through these discrete case studies, the dying and the bereaved are recentered as active agents driving and responding to change within the contemporary American death industry.
Intercultural adapturgy : twenty-first century women adapting Spanish golden age plays
Authors:   , Vansant Mary Elaine
Published: December 2021

Transferring work from one culture to another through translation or adaptation is a delicate process which requires careful consideration of both the positionality of the adapter and the intertextual reaction of the adapted work's target audience. In addition to traditional adaptation theories like intertextuality, the theatrical field of dramaturgy offers helpful insight into the adaptation process, especially as it relates to plays. This dissertation examines the ways that the combination of adaptation studies and dramaturgy, which Jane Barnette calls adapturgy, can inform intercultural adaptaitons of dramatic literature to create performable and effective theatre experiences for twenty-first century audiences. I achieve this goal by first examining two adapted plays: A Little Betrayal Among Friends by Caridad Svich, adapted from La traicion en la amistad by Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor, and Fever/Dream by Sheila Callaghan, adapted from La vida es sueno by Pedro Calderon de la Barca. I look at how dramaturgical and adapation theories can be applied to these plays via script analysis and contextual questioning. Then, using the skills gleaned from those two examples, I create my own translation and adaptation of Los empenos de una casa by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, and I reflect on my adapturgical process of doing so. In creating both a translation, titled How to Build a Noble House, and an adaptation, titled With the Temptation, a Way of Escape, I both preserve the unique traits of the Spanish Golden Age for performance in the twenty-first century and amplify Sor Juana's comedic and social intentions for a contemporary society. I believe that both of these considerations, alongside a reflection on the adapter's positionality and the intentions of the producing organization and production team for a live production, are invaluable to both the field of adaptaiton studies and of dramaturgy.
Structural and kinetic studies of human aldh7a1 and aldh9a1
Authors:   , Wyatt Jesse W.
Published: December 2021

The regulation and detoxification of endogenously and exogenously derived aldehydes is paramount to cellular survival due to the highly reactive nature of aldehydes as electrophiles. Human aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are a superfamily of oxidoreductase enzymes that have critical roles in this regulation and detoxification. Misregulation of ALDH gene expression or mutations in the genes encoding for ALDHs lead to numerous disease pathologies. While extensive work has been conducted in understanding the metabolic roles and structures of these enzymes, there remains a need to further expand the structural and kinetic understanding of members of the human ALDH superfamily. This thesis aims to utilize the tools of structural biology and enzymology to expand the understanding of the ALDH superfamily.
The variability of the El Nino southern oscillation and Modoki mode and their impacts on New York state climate
Authors:   , Cain Thomas
Published: December 2021

The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has long been an influential climate and weather driver for many regions. Many studies have examined the variability of the phases of ENSO, leading to discovery of a separate mode of El Nino dubbed the El Nino Modoki, featuring a tripole Walker circulation. However, few studies have examined the variability of El Nino with Modoki separated from regular El Nino events. The goals of this study were to demonstrate that the El Nino signal was stronger separate from Modoki (thus leading to higher predictability), and to examine the effect of the Modoki on both a national and regional level, showing the connection between other teleconnections such as the Pacific North American teleconnection (PNA), the Arctic Oscillation (AO), and the North American Oscillation teleconnection (NAO). Using NCEP/NCAR composites, conventional El Nino events were found to have a stronger signal, with persistent features being easier to identify. Similarly, the Modoki showed a pattern thatmilar but different to the regular El Nino. Using New York State for the area of regional analysis, all ENSO phases were found to modify the effect of the PNA, but the effect was different depending on location. Both of these results indicate that it is possible to generate a clearer picture of the impacts of ENSO by properly classifying these events
Assessing the occurrence of cyanotoxins in two urban reservoirs through a community science monitoring program
Authors:   , Kinzinger Emily C.
Published: December 2021

Cyanobacterial blooms are an ongoing threat to aquatic systems worldwide. These potentially toxic blooms have typically been observed in summer to early fall, but there are increasing reports of blooms in colder seasons. From the few studies available, weknow that blooms can produce toxins in the winter. The objective of this research was to assess the year-round presence, concentration, and environmental drivers of the cyanotoxins microcystin and cylindrospermopsin in two reservoirs located in Columbia, Missouri, USA. To fulfill this objective, I coordinated and managed the Reservoir Observer Student Scientists (ROSS) program. This community science initiative combined educating high school students about limnology and cyanobacterial blooms with training students hands-on to collect weekly water quality samples. Data for this project was collected over two years in Bethel Lake and one year in Stephens Lake. We found detectable concentrations of the cyanotoxins year-round. There was no relationship between microcystin nor cylindrospermopsin and chlorophyll-a in either reservoir. Presence and concentration of microcystin and cylindrospermopsin were related to physical water quality parameters in Bethel Lake. This study provides evidence for the necessity of year-round water quality monitoring.
