Utilizing an embodied, play-based intervention to reduce occupational stress for teachers
Authors: Frydman Jason S. , Pitre Renée
Published: April 2019

Due to the occupational demands of teaching, including classroom management, instructional delivery and administrative tasks, teachers are at high risk for occupational stress. Intervention models that have attempted to provide social-emotional supports for teachers, in the form of burnout prevention, have shown generally small effect sizes. A lack of a larger effect has been attributed to these methods operating from a broader stress model rather than adjusting to the specific contextual factors of the school setting. Short-form Developmental Transformations (DvT), an embodied, playful and individualized method of drama therapy, may address the need for a more subjective approach to teacher stress reduction. With its emphasis on interpersonal engagement, physical expression and play, short-form DvT offers teachers an opportunity to directly and metaphorically engage with occupational stressors that may impede their work performance and impact overall well-being. A case example of short-form DvT is provided, followed by a discussion to highlight the potential limitations and benefits of the method for teachers.
Beyond Othello: Performing stages of resistance to racial surveillance in Djanet Sears’ Harlem Duet
Authors: Rapetti Valentina
Published: April 2019

This article analyses Caribbean Canadian playwright and director Djanet Sears’ Harlem Duet (1997), a black feminist adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Othello, as a textual and performative ground on which long-standing racial and gender stereotypes that have fostered white privilege and black exclusion in North America are resisted and overthrown. From settler colonialism to the so-called post-racial era, black people have been subjected to physical and symbolic violence, and to covert and overt surveillance practices. Concomitantly, different strategies of resistance have emerged over time as African Americans have struggled against white hegemonic power within the economic, political and artistic domains. In Harlem Duet (1997), Sears devises a fragmented dramaturgical and performative space in which four stages of resistance to racial surveillance are juxtaposed: mobility, black minstrelsy, mimicry and miscegenation. Within the counter-discourse of Sears’ play, they are experienced as sites of insubordination and emancipation where black men can attempt to defy white surveillance to start claiming an autonomous identity, whereas black women, due to the gender-specific implications of their oppression, have to resort to alternative strategies. By resisting received representations of race and gender embedded in Shakespeare’s Othello and in North American society, Sears puts black women and their side of the story centre stage, thus countering their double invisibility through the highly visible vehicle of theatrical performance.
Catching Othello’s echoes in Harlem Duet: A conversation on Shakespearean adaptation, blackness and African Diaspora Theatre with Djanet Sears
Authors: Rapetti Valentina
Published: April 2019

Caribbean Canadian playwright, actress and director Djanet Sears has created theatre pieces that explore Canadian manifestations of the African diaspora for over three decades. Her works include the autobiographical play Afrika Solo (1990), Double Trouble (1988), The Mother Project (1990), Who Killed Katie Ross (1994) and The Adventures of a Black Girl in Search of God (2002). Between 1995 and 1996, Sears developed Harlem Duet (1997), a theatrical adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Othello that explores the intersection of racism and sexism in North American black communities, and how interlocking systems of oppression infiltrate the psyche of black people and their most intimate relationships. In an interview conducted in July 2016 at the University of Toronto Art Centre, Sears discusses the factors that attracted her to drama and theatre, her acting training and early career, the genesis and the making of Harlem Duet, as well as its most important North American productions. She also elucidates how the blues aesthetic and black feminism informed her Shakespearean adaptation of Othello in ways that helped her to counter stereotypical representations of black masculinity and black womanhood produced within dominant discourses.

The multifaceted policy challenges of transnational Internet-distributed television
Authors: Lotz Amanda D.
Published: April 2019

As services such as Netflix and Amazon Video have overcome the business challenges that long stymied the technological potential of Internet-distributed television, they have also introduced a range of policy challenges. Not only do these services lack governance by a clear regulatory regime in many countries, but their entrance to the competitive field of audio-visual service providers refigures the policy established for broadcast, cable and satellite industries. These challenges are simultaneously opportunities, as Internet-distributed television also provides tools that might effectively achieve policy goals.
Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for nutritional value enhancement in agricultural plants – a review
Authors: Csambalik László , Tóbiás Andrea
Published: April 2019

This review focuses on yeast suspensions applied with the aim to enhance nutritional content of agricultural products. Seventy one publications were studied, and their details summarized in tables, according to the following plant groups: 1/ arable plants, 2/ vegetables, 3/ medicinal and ornamental plants. It was found that the experimental designs in these papers were inconsistent in most cases and, regardless to plant species used, the concentration of yeast extract, time of application, and repetitions of the treatment were fundamentally different, making evaluation of the methodologies difficult. However, all studies agreed in the positive impact of yeast extracts on nutritional parameters. Therefore, it is advisable to perform further studies to clarify the relationship of individual nutritional parameters to spraying dose, timing and repetition of yeast application.
EKOSUFISME BERWAWASAN GENDER DALAM AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Febriani Nur Arfiyah
Published: April 2019

Environmental damage is increasingly a problem of the world. Environmental organizations in the world such as Green Peace, WWF and IPCC in 2014 showed that the damage on the earth, the sea and the air has reached a very worrisome stage. Scientists with a variety of expertise have been trying to offer solutions on this problem, including religious studies scholars who have also tried to build a paradigm based on the scripture. In a profoundly Sufi scientific tradition, the idea of eco-sufism in reconstructing the anthropocentric paradigm is interesting because it touches the deepest dimensions of humanity to build consciousness in the conservative action for the sake of the God. The writer also tries to unite gender relations with eco-sufism, as an effort to build an integral and holistic paradigm of society. This is because, without an integrated and holistic paradigm for all the people in the world, environmental conservation efforts will be only limited to small groups of humans among 2 (two) billion citizens of the world. [Kerusakan lingkungan terus menjadi permasalahan yang begitu mengkhawatirkan masyarakat dunia. Organisasi lingkungan di dunia seperti Green Peace, WWF dan IPCC pada tahun 2014 menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan di bumi, laut dan udara sudah sampai tahap yang sangat mengkhawatikan. Saintis dengan berbagai keahlian mencoba menawarkan solusi atas berbagai persoalan ini, termasuk para ahli agama yang mencoba masuk dalam tatanan membangun paradigma masyarakat sesuai arahan kitab suci. Dalam tradisi ilmiah sufi yang kental dengan nuansa spiritual, gagasan tentang eko-sufisme dalam merekonstruksi paradigma antroposentris adalah hal menarik kare- na menyentuh dimensi terdalam manusia untuk membangun kesadaran beraksi dalam konservasi demi rida Ilahi. Penulis juga mencoba untuk menyatukan relasi gender dengan ekosufisme, sebagai tawaran dalam upaya memba- ngun paradigma masyarakat yang integral dan holistik. Ini karena, sehebat apapun upaya yang dilakukan, tanpa membangun paradigma yang terintegrasi dan holistik bagi segenap masyarakat dunia, upaya konservasi lingkun- gan hanya akan dilakukan segelintir kelompok manusia di antara 2 Milyar warganya.]
PEREMPUAN, ASET DESA, DAN SUMBER PENGHIDUPAN: Studi Kasus Desa Gadungan, Blitar, Jawa Timur
Authors: Anwar M. Zainal , Angga Rajif Dwi
Published: April 2019

This article focuses on the efforts to optimize village assets, especially physical assets or natural resources in an effort to increase livelihoods in the village. Through interview, observation and FGD methods, this paper presents three cases to deepen the dynamics of women and the economics of asset-based village. This paper shows that village women can be the figures of active citizens in promoting the village economy by organizing and utilizing the village assets in order to have a source of livelihood. This is certainly contrasted with the perception that the village women are only complementary in the life of the village. In addition, this paper shows that village assets have an important contribution in supporting and mobilizing the livelihoods of the citizens. Asset mapping is also useful as a base to increase the livelihoods of the people, so that they do not rely on one source only. The village-cracker industry is a proof of the role of village women in mobilizing people’s economy, processing raw materials into ready products and sold. In this sense, asset mapping is one of the important instruments that contribute to prosperity and happiness of the villagers.[Artikel ini fokus pada upaya optimalisasi aset desa, terutama aset fisik atau sumber daya alam dalam upaya mem- perluas sumber penghidupan di desa. Melalui metode wawancara, observasi dan FGD, tulisan ini menyajikan tiga kasus untuk memperdalam dinamika perempuan dan ekonomi desa berbasis aset. Tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa perempuan desa bisa menjadi profil warga aktif dalam mendorong ekonomi desa dengan cara berorganisasi serta memanfaatkan aset desa dalam rangka menemukan sumber penghidupan. Ini tentu kontras dengan persepsi yang selama ini berkembang bahwa perempuan desa hanyalah pelengkap dalam tata kehidupan di desa. Selain itu, tulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa aset desa memiliki kontribusi penting dalam menopang dan menggerakkan sumber peng- hidupan warga. Pemetaan aset juga berguna menjadi pijakan dalam upaya memperluas sumber penghidupan warga agar tidak terkungkung hanya mengandalkan satu sumber penghidupan saja. Industri kerupuk yang dikelola pe- rempuan desa adalah bukti konkrit mengenai peran perempuan desa dalam menggerakkan ekonomi warga sekali- gus berupaya mengolah bahan mentah di desa menjadi produk olahan yang siap jual. Dalam konteks tersebut, pemetaan aset adalah salah satu instrumen penting dalam menghadirkan kesejahteraan dan kebahagiaan warga desa.]
Onset and Evolution of Upwelling along the West Coast of India
Authors: Fernandez Dominic Ricky , Rao A. Raghunadha , Niji T. Y.
Published: April 2019

To describe the onset and evolution of upwelling along the south west coast of India, authors collected a series of conductivity temperature depth measurements on board INS Sagardhwani extending from 7 °N – 15 °N during the period extending from February 2017 - October 2017. In this paper we utilised the undulations of the 23 °C isotherm as a proxy to study the upwelling phenomenon. The upward movement of the waters at the southern tip off India (77.5 °E) in the subsurface levels was observed to commence from late February 2017 in depths around 80 m and by the end of May 2017, it is observed to rise rapidly to the surface. The upwelled waters reach the surface during the 2nd week of July all along the Indian coast, and then intensified during August 2017. Beyond 12 °N maximum upwelling is seen in July and thereafter in early August 2017 upwelling was intense till October 2017.
Mixed Layer Budget Terms on Acoustic Propagation A Study based on the Butterfly Track Experiment in the South Eastern Arabian Sea
Authors: Maheswaran P. A. , Unny V. K. , Kumar S. Sateesh , Uthaman C. P. , Kumar T. Pradeep
Published: April 2019

A butterfly type of repeat track cruise was carried out in the South Eastern Arabian Sea (off Minicoy) onboard INS Sagardhwani during July 2016 to Aug 2016. We have also made use of the data from OMNI buoy, AD09, which is about 6 km close to the centre station of butterfly track. Air sea flux, the horizontal current data from AD09 and the time series data collected from the butterfly experiment were analyzed to compute the mixed layer heat and salt budget. The short-term thermo-haline variability off Minicoy, relative contribution of heat/salt budget terms in MLD and its effects on acoustic propagation are addressed in this paper. In this study, we found that most dominating term in the mixed layer heat budget estimation is net surface heat flux followed by the advective terms. However the salinity in the mixed layer is dominated by the contribution of buoyancy mixing due to night time evaporative cooling. During the calm, sunny day, the so-called afternoon effect due to the diurnal heating restricts the sonar range. But during the windy day, the wind/wave mixing prevents the warming of the surface layer which in turn enhances the sonar range. Similarly, the night time cooling also enhance the acoustic propagation range. The presence of Arabian Sea High Salinity Watermass in the surface layer also enhances the acoustic propagation.

Approximate Kernel-Based Conditional Independence Tests for Fast Non-Parametric Causal Discovery
Authors: Strobl Eric V. , Zhang Kun , Visweswaran Shyam
Published: April 2019

Constraint-based causal discovery (CCD) algorithms require fast and accurate conditional independence (CI) testing. The Kernel Conditional Independence Test (KCIT) is currently one of the most popular CI tests in the non-parametric setting, but many investigators cannot use KCIT with large datasets because the test scales at least quadratically with sample size. We therefore devise two relaxations called the Randomized Conditional Independence Test (RCIT) and the Randomized conditional Correlation Test (RCoT) which both approximate KCIT by utilizing random Fourier features. In practice, both of the proposed tests scale linearly with sample size and return accurate p-values much faster than KCIT in the large sample size context. CCD algorithms run with RCIT or RCoT also return graphs at least as accurate as the same algorithms run with KCIT but with large reductions in run time.
Modified Radon transform inversion using moments
Authors: Choi Hayoung , Ginting Victor , Jafari Farhad , Mnatsakanov Robert
Published: April 2019

Moment methods to reconstruct images from their Radon transforms are both natural and useful.
They can be used to suppress noise or other spurious effects and can lead to highly efficient reconstructions from relatively few projections.
We establish a modified Radon transform (MRT) via convolution with a mollifier and obtain its inversion formula.
The relationship of the moments of the Radon transform and the moments of its modified Radon transform is derived, and MRT data is used to provide a uniform approximation to the original density function.
The reconstruction algorithm is implemented, and a simple density function is reconstructed from moments of its modified Radon transform.
Numerical convergence of this reconstruction is shown to agree with the derived theoretical results.
Inverse source problems for the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation with mixed boundary conditions
Authors: Montoya Cristhian
Published: April 2019

In this paper, we prove Lipschitz stability results for the inverse source problem of determining the spatially varying factor in a source term in the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers (KdVB) equation with mixed boundary conditions.
More precisely, the Lipschitz stability property is obtained using observation data on an arbitrary fixed sub-domain over a time interval.
Secondly, we show that stability property can also be achieved from boundary measurements.
Our proofs relies on Carleman inequalities and the Bukhgeim–Klibanov method.
Photonic topological phase transition on demand
Authors: Kudyshev Zhaxylyk A. , Kildishev Alexander V. , Boltasseva Alexandra , Shalaev Vladimir M.
Published: April 2019

On-demand, switchable phase transitions between topologically nontrivial and trivial photonic states are demonstrated. Specifically, it is shown that the integration of a two-dimensional array of coupled ring resonators within a thermal heater array enables unparalleled control over topological protection of photonic modes. Importantly, auxiliary control over a spatial phase modulation opens up a way to guide topologically protected edge modes along generated virtual boundaries. The proposed approach can lead to practical realizations of topological phase transitions in many photonic applications, including topologically protected photonic memory/logic devices, robust optical modulators, and switches.
Differentiation of burial practices in the Corded Ware Culture. The example of the Magnice site in SW Poland

Published: April 2019

Der vorliegende Artikel befasst sich mit zwei gänzlich unterschiedlichen Bestattungsarten, die vom archäologischen Standpunkt der gleichen „Kultur“ angehören und höchstwahrscheinlich auch im Hinblick auf die Chronologie sehr vergleichbar sind. Die Unterschiede schließen sowohl Grabkonstruktionen als auch die Wahl der Grabbeigaben ein und sind ein Beweis für die Vielfalt der Ansätze im Bestattungsritual. Alle angesprochenen Gräber befinden sich auf dem zur Schnurkeramischen Kultur rechnenden Fundplatz Magnice im südwestlichen Polen. Der Beitrag richtet den Fokus u. a. auf Grabkonstruktionen, dem Zustand der entdeckten menschlichen Überreste und auf Gebrauchspuren beigegebener Steinartefakte.

Die Annahme der Verfasser ist, dass selbst kleine Lokalgruppen gültige Regeln der Bestattungspraktika erfahren, erlernt oder erspürt haben müssen. Obwohl das Konzept des „idealisierten Grabmodels“ sicherlich ein Teil der allgemein bekannten und geteilten kulturellen Regeln darstellte, zeigte die archäologisch nachgewiesene Praxis, dass diese auf unterschiedliche Weise umgesetzt wurde und dass die Umsetzungsphase auch die sozialen Verhandlungsmuster mit einbezog.
Der Papst und der Krieg
Authors: Koller Rotraud Becker/Alexander
Published: April 2019

Riassunto

L’Istituto Storico Germanico di Roma ha concluso, nel 2016, l’edizione della quarta sezione della collana „Nuntiaturberichte aus Deutschland“, completando la pubblicazione della corrispondenza ufficiale tra i nunzi apostolici presso la corte imperiale e la Segreteria di Stato dal 1628 al 1635. Questo periodo va annoverato tra le fasi più complesse della Guerra dei Trent’anni. Grande spazio occupava all’inizio la successione mantovana e l’annesso conflitto che introdussero un teatro di guerra secondario, aperto sulla penisola, e toccarono necessariamente gli interessi del papa e della Curia. Intorno al 1630 predominavano poi, nell’Impero, il conflitto sull’editto di restituzione e la questione di Wallenstein. L’„internazionalizzazione“ della guerra trovò la sua prosecuzione con l’intervento della Svezia, alleata della Francia. A causa di questi avvenimenti i rapporti tra il papato da un lato e la Spagna e la corte imperiale dall’altro peggiorarono; di conseguenza s’incrinarono anche la reputazione e le possibilità d’azione della nunziatura viennese. Il punto più basso raggiunsero questi sviluppi con le proteste del cardinale Gaspare Borgia e la missione del cardinale Pázmány nel 1632. Un’importante accordo parziale per l’impero fu raggiunto nel 1635 con la Pace di Praga. Al contempo maturò in quegli anni presso le corti principesche europee la convinzione che una pace durevole sarebbe stata possibile solo in seguito a un congresso di pace generale e multilaterale. Le recenti pubblicazioni nel contesto della quarta sezione dei „Nuntiaturberichte“ permettono inoltre di rivalutare i documenti in esse riportati come fonti per la ricerca storica non solo nell’ambito di quesiti politici e confessioniali, ma anche nel campo della storia culturale moderna e dell’antropologia storica.
Die „Capitula de expeditione Corsicana“ Lothars I. vom Februar 825
Authors: Esders Stefan
Published: April 2019

Riassunto

Il presente contributo analizza il capitolare emesso dall’imperatore Lotario I nella sua seconda visita in Italia, in occasione della quale procedette al reclutamento dell’esercito per una spedizione militare in Corsica. Dopo le analisi circa la tradizione del testo e la sua datazione (febbraio 825), viene indagata l’importanza della Corsica quale oggetto di ripetuti attacchi da parte dei Saraceni di Spagna e Nord Africa per ottenerne bottino, schiavi, nonché come base per incursioni sulla terraferma. L’emanazione del capitolare deve essere inserito all’interno di una serie di contemporanee relazioni diplomatiche intessute tra Costantinopoli, Bagdad, Roma e Aquisgrana in quel torno di anni. Il capitolare si rivolge in particolare ai conti di Toscana subordinati a Bonifacio II, conte di Lucca, il quale era stato incaricato come „praefectus Corsicae“ di proteggere l’isola e le coste della „Tuscia“. La parte centrale del contributo riguarda la ricostruzione del testo, che si presenta corrotto, e il commento delle decisioni emanate, con particolare attenzione al reclutamento dell’esercito da parte di vassalli regi e non e da parte degli uomini liberi. Lotario poté allora contare su uomini di grande esperienza come Wala; nelle sue disposizioni, egli adattò modelli longobardi e franchi che basavano il reclutamento sulla ricchezza e sulla proprietà (benefici, aggregazioni consortili di „liberi homines“), mentre concesse esenzioni, privilegiando alcuni amministratori di beni fiscali („gastaldi“) al servizio della corte, insieme ai loro vassalli. Sulla base delle misure adottate da Lotario poco dopo l’emanazione di questo capitolare per impedire il sottrarsi al reclutamento nell’esercito, viene infine esaminata l’efficacia di questo capitolare.
Fra’ Epifanio Fioravanti, Abenteurer und Agent zur Zeit des Dreißigjährigen Krieges
Authors: Becker Rotraud
Published: April 2019

Riassunto

Il caso dell’eremita agostiniano Epifanio Fioravanti illustra un aspetto particolare della storia dei rapporti diplomatici nell’Europa dell’Età moderna. Esso è esemplicativo per il fenomeno, ben noto nel XVII secolo, che, accanto ai diplomatici ufficialmente incaricati, non raramente venivano investiti di missioni politiche anche membri degli ordini mendicanti. È evidente che tali mandati potevano oltrepassare largamente l’ambito delle trattative informali e della semplice redazione di relazioni, ma includessero potenzialmente anche operazioni segrete, e che vi ricorressero sia i sovrani secolari sia i rappresentanti altolocati della Curia romana. Le stesse nunziature apostoliche venivano coinvolte in rapporti di questo genere e dovevano temere per la loro credibilità.
Religion und religiöse Tradition: Unterscheidungsdiskurse zu den Grenzen des Islams
Authors: Dreßler Markus
Published: April 2019

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich am Beispiel des islamischen Diskursfeldes mit der metasprachlichen Beschreibung objektsprachlicher Ab- und Ausgrenzungsdiskurse. Dies bringt zwangsläufig eine Auseinandersetzung mit den Dynamiken zwischen objekt- und metasprachlicher Begriffsebene mit sich. Der Artikel diskutiert in einem ersten Schritt Talal Asads Konzeption islamischer Orthodoxie und den ihr zugrundeliegenden Traditionsbegriff. In einem zweiten Schritt werden anhand von Beispielen aus dem nordamerikanischen Sufidiskurs und dem modernen türkischen Religionsdiskurs objektsprachliche Grenzziehungsdynamiken innerhalb des islamischen Diskursfeldes analysiert. Der letzte Teil des Aufsatzes widmet sich der Metaebene und führt, in Abgrenzung zum statischen Stammbaummodell, einen dynamischen Begriff von religiöser Tradition ein, der es ermöglichen soll, Überlagerungen zwischen religiösen Formationen niedrigen Verdichtungsgrades sowie Prozesse der Religionisierung ins Blickfeld zu nehmen.
„Umma – Be part of it!“
Authors: Maske Verena
Published: April 2019

Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die Bedeutung der Idee der umma in der „Muslimischen Jugend in Deutschland e. V.“ und der sie umgebenden pop-islamischen Szene entlang der Frage sozialer Grenzziehungsprozesse. Es soll gezeigt werden, dass soziale Grenzen nicht nur durch Zuschreibungs- und Exklusionsprozesse von außen konstruiert, sondern auch entlang von gemeinschaftsbildenden Identifikationsprozessen junger Musliminnen und Muslime hergestellt werden. Indem individuelle und kollektive Bedeutungen der Umma im Kontext des Untersuchungsfeldes erfasst werden, werden Prozesse der Vergemeinschaftung ebenso in den Blick genommen wie damit verbundene soziale Distinktionen, Exklusionen und Abwertungen. Dabei zeigt sich, dass soziale Grenzziehungsprozesse der pop-islamischen Szene sowohl gegenüber der deutschen Mehrheitsgesellschaft als auch gegenüber verschiedenen islamischen Strömungen je situations- und kontextabhängig ausgehandelt werden und sich als gleichzeitige Suche nach Partizipation und Abgrenzung bzw. Inklusion und Exklusion beschreiben lassen.
The Creative Kingdom
Authors: Cubelic Danijel
Published: April 2019

Whilst the field of contemporary art has been impeded until recently by Saudi Arabia’s blasphemy laws and heavy censorship, the last decade has seen a rapid growth of art networks and institutions. Incidents such as the conviction of internationally lauded artist and curator Ashraf Fayadh in 2015 on charges of apostasy show that Islamic authorities still claim to define what is acceptable and not acceptable in the field of cultural production, but several renowned Saudi artists have started to question the hegemony of the Islamic field. This article discusses these processes in the context of radical economic reform led by the Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. Why do state actors see an investment in art and creativity as a necessity for economic renewal? What role does contemporary art play in strategies to rebrand the negative image of Saudi Arabia? How do artists relate to Islamic narratives and material culture to claim authority in Islamic debates and provide legitimacy for their concerns? By focusing on the interactions between economic reform and new spaces of Islamic critique, the paper aims to shed light on the way in which the drive for economic transformation is remapping the social boundaries between Islamic authorities, the creative economy and the state.

Authors: Moscovici Daniel , Clarke Caitlin
Published: April 2019

The Pinelands National Reserve is one of the most integrated regional planning regimes for conservation in the world. Environmental protection is overlapped by the State Pinelands Area, the Pinelands National Reserve, and the New Jersey Pinelands Biosphere Reserve (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). Stockton University, a 4-year state university with an 800-hectare campus operates within this mix of preservation and working landscape. In the Environmental Studies program, faculty engage students in the outdoor classroom to study the complexities of balancing development and conservation. This case highlights the creation of the first National Reserve and a University within the protected area and focuses on students analyzing species and habitat to encourage native cavity nesting animals to return and breed in the Pinelands. Readers will be able to navigate the complexities and opportunities of working in a protected area and apply these lessons in the classroom. With this case study, instructors, researchers, and students will be able to apply the symbiotic relationship between protected region and university to other areas of the world.
The Great Migration of Whys
Authors: Gleason Sean
Published: April 2019

Nunalleq is a pre-contact Yup'ik village (1350–1660 CE) massacred during a centuries-long conflict known today as the Bow and Arrow Wars. As global temperatures fell during the Little Ice Age (1300–1800 CE), conflict intensified along the Yukon-Kuskokwim delta as food raids and village burnings became commonplace among warring Yup'ik communities. The following essay considers the events of Nunalleq alongside a new era of migration as Yup'ik prepare to move farther inland in response to human-induced climate change. Specifically, I reflect on the relationships between Yup'ik material culture and oral history, and how these histories adapt over time. This writing is an experimental ethnography based in archaeological excavation and participant observation. This writing is oral history. This writing should be read aloud.

The essay chronicles the author's experience as a young woman in a community that was predominantly patriarchal and examines the ways the author had to adapt in order to function within such an oppressive system. The story details the author's decision to work in the wilderness as a means of seeking spiritual transformation, but, instead, she finds herself confronting the same intersections of class and gender that she had been raised with in her hometown.
There Are No More Places to Migrate To
Authors: Malhotra Aanchal
Published: April 2019

This essay, written as narrative nonfiction, is the portion of an oral history interview with Kalyani Ray Chowdhury, who was born in 1929 in Chittagong (present-day Bangladesh), on what she recalls of her homeland in East Bengal. A few months prior to India's 1947 Partition into India and Pakistan by the British, Ray Chowdhury's family had been vacationing in the city of Patna. They were unable to travel back home to Mymensingh due to rising communal and political turmoil. When the Partition line was finally declared, they found themselves living life as refugees in Calcutta in West Bengal, while their home remained abandoned across the newly formed border in East Bengal. During the course of the interview, Ray Chowdhury also makes note of the nuanced distinctions in the culture and language of people from both sides of the Bengal border, and how conscious efforts had to be made on the part of her family to feel any sense of integration to their newly adopted home.

Published: April 2019

The changes of curriculums always refer to a philosophical thought (idea) and various basic considerations adopted by the schools. The purpose of this study is to fnd out how the implementation of curriculum development in vocational schools is viewed from the aspect of the foundation of curriculum development. The study was carried out with a survey research design. the research sites are in Vocational Schools in Central Java Province. Data collection technique using questionnaires. Quantitative data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis. Whereas qualitative data was interpreted qualitatively to reveal the meaning. The results showed that the curriculum development process in vocational schools was appropriate and already used the foundations of curriculum development. We also found that there was several supports from various stakeholders but still limited, the curriculum development assistance process was not optimal because each school does no has special resources to develop an appropriate and contextual curriculum from curriculum expert. At least we found various problems on the development of school curriculum such as the lack of stakeholder involvement, the poor quality of human resources and the assistance of the curriculum development that are still limited.

—The evolution of peat deposits of the Vydrino bog (southern Baikal region) and concentration of elements in them are discussed. The bog peat massif more than 4 m in thickness formed mostly during the Holocene. The beginning of peat formation dates back to the late Allerød (13.1 ka). At present, the Vydrino bog is a biogeocoenosis of the high-moor type with a transitional peat deposit. We have established that the bog nonuniformly accumulated chemical elements during its formation. Concentration of Pb, Sn, Cd, Zn, and Sb in recent vegetation and in the upper layer of the peat bog is mainly due to forest fires and anthropogenic air pollution. The anomalous enrichment of peat with Zn and Cu in the Early Holocene (12.1–8.8 ka) horizons proceeded through the periodic inflow of thermal groundwater into the bottom part of the peat deposit. Authigenic Zn and Cu sulfides formed on the inner membrane of the cell wall of sphagnum moss. Geochemical modeling has shown that Zn and Cu sulfides can form abiotically.
Radon and Tectonic Activities of Crustal Faults: the Case of Central Mongolia
Authors: Seminsky K.Zh. , Bobrov A.A. , Demberel S.
Published: April 2019

—Examples of two geodynamically active regions in Central Mongolia are used to demonstrate the radon and tectonic activities of faults and find out how their individual parameters affect the radon field. In general, the radon activity of faults increases with the higher contribution of extension in dynamic faulting conditions, with stronger seismic activity, and also in concentrated disjunctive structures at their late evolution stages compared to wide rupture zones at the initial formation stages of their internal structure. Nonuniform structure is an intrinsic property of near-fault radon anomalies, which is defined primarily by nonuniform disruptions of the substrate in the fault zone by ruptures and by spatial variations in the displacement amplitude. Taking the established regularities into account will facilitate a higher efficiency of emanation surveys in studies of seismic hazard associated with crustal faults.

Agricultural machinery and farm equipment are potential sources of infectious material that can lead to the contamination and spread of diseases if proper action isn’t taken. Two stage decontamination methods, involving power washing followed by disinfectant applications, are needed to clean farm equipment, agricultural transport vehicles, and storage units. The field experiments confirm that pressure washing surfaces is an extremely important step in enhancing spore efficacy. Log10 reduction values were 5.45 and 2.90 for disinfectant applications with and without power washing, respectively. Both experiments show that the commercial chlorine dioxide disinfectant Electro-Biocide was an effective disinfectant alone and when mixed with adjuvants. Increasing the concentration of some tested adjuvants resulted in more spores being removed or killed, however this was not true for all adjuvants tested in these two experiments.
Computing Quality of Information for Wireless Sensor Networks

Published: April 2019

Wireless sensor networking research is a structural and computer related design that mainly focused on internal wireless sensor network issues such as MAC and routing protocols, energy saving, hard ware design and to some extent on the architecture of gateways that connect a wireless sensor network with the rest of the world. They offer a low-cost solution that provides a high data density. Information obtained from such systems are imprecise in nature but is used for important decision making tasks. This precipitates the need to dynamically compute the quality of information (QoI) based on sensor observations. However, the sensors deployed in an environment do not have the same belief level due to their differences in capabilities and imprecision in sensing and processing. The belief in a sensor represents the level of accuracy in accomplishing a task that can be computed either by comparing the current observation with a reference data set or by performing a physical investigation. It is essential to understand how the sensors are performing with respect to the objective tasks. In this paper we propose a modified Information-driven sensor query (IDSQ) algorithm using reward-and-punishment mechanism to dynamically compute the belief in sensors by leveraging the differences of the individual sensor’s opinion. In this structural, results show the suitability of utilizing the dynamically computed belief as an alternative to the accuracy of the sensors. The structural can then be used to distribute the model processing into the wireless sensor network.
