Authors: Vu Hong Van
Published: June 2020

The study of the impact of globalization on religion and the changes in Vietnam's policies in recent years is a difficult and difficult task to determine accurately. However, the results that this article brings will partly shed light on the religious trends in Vietnam before the impact of globalization and the changes in religious policy of the Vietnamese state today. This study focuses on clarifying religious life in Vietnam; the impact of globalization on religious life in its people; it highlights common trends in religious life, as well as secularization, modernization of religion, diversification of religious activities, new forms of religion, and the characteristics of new religious phenomena. The study also focused on analyzing Vietnam's religious policies; the advantages and limitations of these policies. It can be seen that the change of religious life in Vietnam in the period of renewal is mainly due to the impact of change in the economic, cultural and social life of the renewal of economic development, in the context of globalization, market expansion, and the international integration of Vietnam. Furthermore, it is a consequence of the restoration and increasing need for religious-spiritual life after years of repression by war. Hence, the need for theoretical and practical research on religious trends and policies, to help improve the policies of the Communist Party and the State on religion, guaranteeing democracy and equality in religious activities in Vietnam.

Path filling quality analysis using concavity coefficient
Authors: Kornienko K. I.
Published: June 2020

The processing ability of the sorting hill depends on the sorting park, where the accumulation of wagons takes place. Changing the longitudinal profile of the sorting fleet path leads to an deposition and uncoupling of wagons due to commercial malfunctions, which increases the hill interval. One of the methods for calculating the impact of changes in the longitudinal profile of the track on the quality of the sorting system is simulation. Despite the high accuracy of this method, its implementation is quite complicated. The possibility of using the concavity coefficient of the longitudinal profile of the sorting park path to analyze the quality of its filling is considered.

The developed simulation model of filling the paths of the sorting park “SortPark 2” was applied, taking into account the moving of the trailer from the place after the stop; the error in the operation of control devices and setting the release speed of the couplers from the park brake position to the path; the movement of cars in the collision with them of the next release. Studies have shown that the concavity coefficient can be used as a numerical criterion in assessing the deviation of the profile from standard values. There is a relationship between the concavity coefficient and the path fill quality index. The results can be used to assess the effectiveness of straightening the profile of the path.

Authors: Bari Fazle , Ahmad Sajjad , Khan Hamzullah
Published: June 2020

Background: Nosocomial infections are major health issues in developing as well as developed countries. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of MBL production in Pseudomnas aeruginosa that causes resistance to Imipenem and other ß-lactam antibiotics.

Materials & Methods: A sample of 52 Imipenem resistant Pseudomnas aeruginosa colonizing or infecting the hospitalized patients were collected in Department of Pathology, Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from June 2014 till May 2016. The organisms were identified by routine laboratory tests including biochemical methods and API NE System (Biomeriux) and the sensitivity pattern of commonly used antibiotics was established for each of these isolates using the disc diffusion method. Imipenem resistant strains were tested for MBL production by Imipenem-EDTA disc diffusion method.

Results: The frequency of MBL activity was positive in 39 (75%) cases of Pseudomnas aeruginosa which encodes resistance to Imipenem and other ß-lactam antibiotics except monobactam. The sensitivity pattern of these antibiotics was as follows: piperacillin/ tazobactam 30.8%, amikacin and polymyxin B each 17.9%, tobramycin 12.8%, cefoperazone/ sulbactam and ceftazidime each 5.1%, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, colistin sulphate, tetracycline, azithromycin and aztreonam each 2.6% and co-trimoxzole, gentamicin & rifampin each 0%.

Conclusion: MBL production in P. aeruginosa confers a challenge for clinicians to treat such resistant infections with conventional antibiotics. Therefore testing each Imipenem resistant Pseudomnas aeruginosa for MBL production must be taken in routine consideration.

Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Children and Youth Ages 5–21 Years
Authors: Cahill Susan M. , Beisbier Stephanie
Published: June 2020

Importance: Demand is increasing for activity- and occupation-based interventions to address occupational performance and support maximal participation of children and youth.

Objective: This Practice Guideline was developed to guide decision making and support best practices in service delivery for children and youth ages 5–21 yr at home, at school, and in the community.

Method: The results from three systematic reviews (SRs) of activity- and occupation-based interventions for children and youth ages 5–21 yr were reviewed, synthesized, and translated into recommendations for education, practice, and research.

Results: One hundred eighty-five articles were included in the three SRs examining the evidence for interventions to promote activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, play and leisure, and rest and sleep; to improve mental health, positive behavior, and social participation; and to enhance learning, academic achievement, and successful participation in school. The reviews provide evidence for interventions associated with typical concerns addressed by occupational therapy practitioners.

Conclusions and Recommendations: On the basis of the evidence, this guideline recommends that occupational therapy practitioners consistently collaborate with families and caregivers and provide services in the natural context of the desired occupation. The evidence also supports group service models and models that include peer mediation; these models can promote participation across areas of occupation. Skills-based training and therapeutic practice in the context of valued occupations are recommended over isolated sensorimotor approaches. Technology, manualized programs, and sports activities can be effective but should be evaluated and matched to age, diagnosis, and outcomes as guided by the evidence.

What This Article Adds: When guided by evidence, activity- and occupation-based interventions are effective in promoting participation and enhancing performance in valued occupations of children and youth ages 5–21 yr.
A.J.P. Taylor
Authors: Wrigley Chris
Published: June 2020

A scholar gentleman in the old style; a northern non-conforming radical; an academic steeped in Oxford traditions; a late 20th-century media personality; one of the most outstanding historians of his age: A.J.P. Taylor was all of these. He wrote about traditional historical subjects in a traditional manner and took narrative history to new heights and was equally at home with a critical academic, as with a vast popular audience. This biographical study of A.J.P. Taylor includes details of Taylor's privileged and cosseted childhood, the effect of his close but combative and stimulating family, the dissenting and nonconformist tradition, and his time as teacher, broadcaster journalist and historian. It attempts to evaluate how far he fulfilled his aim and conviction as to the importance of history and its place at the heart of national consciousness.
William
Authors: Hagger Mark
Published: June 2020

1066 is the most famous date in English history. On 14 October, on Senlac Hill near Hastings, a battle was fought that would change the face of England forever. Over the next twenty years, Norman culture was imposed on England, and English politics and society were radically reshaped. But how much is really known about William ‘the Conqueror’, the Norman duke who led his men to victory on that autumn Saturday in what was to be the last successful invasion of England? Mark Hagger here takes a fresh look at William – his life and leadership. As king, he spent much of his reign threatened by rebellion and invasion. In response, he ordered castles and strongholds to be built across the land – a symbol of the force with which he defended his realm and which, along with Domesday Book, England's first public record, attest to a powerful legacy. This book provides a rounded portrait of one of England's greatest rulers.
Treason and Rebellion in the British Atlantic, 1685–1800
Authors: Rushton Peter , Morgan Gwenda
Published: June 2020

This book examines internal political conflicts in the British Empire within the legal framework of treason and sedition. Following the exporting and adapting of treason laws in the colonies, this book considers how relationships with natives and European rivals affected the definitions of treason in practice. Offering a new study of treachery and loyalty through a transatlantic perspective, Treason and Rebellion in the British Atlantic is a valuable study of the legal and political history of Britain’s early empire.

This study places these conflicts within a political and legal framework of the laws of treason and sedition as they developed in the British Atlantic. The treason laws originated in the reign of Edward III, and were adapted and modified in the 16th and 17th centuries. They were exported to the colonies, where they underwent both adaptation and elaboration in application in the slave societies as well as those dominated by free settlers. Relationships with natives and European rivals in the Americas affected the definitions of treason in practice, and the divided loyalties of the American revolutionary war added further problems of defining loyalty and treachery.

Treason and Rebellion in the British Atlantic, 1685-1800 offers a new study of treason and sedition in the period by placing them in a truly transatlantic perspective, making it a valuable study for those interested in the legal and political of Britain’s empire and 18th-century revolutions.

Pluralist Publics in Market-Driven Education
Authors: Boyask Ruth
Published: June 2020

Pluralist Publics in Market Driven Education opens a conversation on the nature of the public in education systems weary from market driven educational reform. Ruth Boyask observes the characteristic of publicness within contemporary education settings, a characteristic defined by tools from public sphere and democratic education theory. Boyask’s investigations of publicness in educational sites are founded in conceptualising public education as pluralist, unbounded and conditional. These concepts of the public are important for ongoing and future debate on public education.

The settings Boyask examines are different in structure, function and location yet each demonstrates the push and pull between market relations (including competition, efficiency and productivity) and the desire for social equality and democracy in education. Examples of educational settings are drawn broadly from an Anglo-American imaginary that has taken hold in educational systems transnationally, with detailed observation from three research studies of education policy enactment in England. The research studies (including research on curriculum reform in a private democratic school, privatisation of regional educational services and governance in English private schools) provide contexts for examining public accountability, public service and the public good as they relate to a reconceptualised public education. Boyask’s argument is that by opening a conversation about the nature of the public within these sites we bring them into the spheres of a pluralist public education. They become open to public scrutiny and through their debate arise new ideas for challenging market-driven restrictions to contemporary public education. Ruth Boyask is Senior Lecturer at Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand, where she does research and teaches on postgraduate programmes in education. Previously, she was Lecturer in Education Studies at the University of Plymouth, UK, and remains a member of Council for the British Educational Research Association.
Mapplethorpe and the Flower
Authors: Murray Derek Conrad
Published: June 2020

Mapplethorpe and the Flower: Radical Sexuality and the Limits of Control is the first dedicated book-length critical study of the late artist Robert Mapplethorpe’s flower photographs. The book is an interdisciplinary investigation into the symbolism of the flower as envisioned by a photographer whose production was mired in controversy—triggered in large part by his thematic exploration of radical sexuality and queer subcultural life.

Mapplethorpe came into international prominence due to the public response to his polarizing retrospective exhibition, The Perfect Moment (1989-1990), a ground breaking collection of images exploring three largely traditional genres of photography: the still life, the portrait, and the human figure. If there is one characteristic that unifies the artist’s approach to these genres, however, it is his meticulous attention to the materiality of the photograph as object. Mapplethorpe was a dedicated formalist, committed to locating what is most beautiful about his chosen subject—producing work under carefully controlled studio conditions that enabled the development of a unique and singular aesthetic vision. Bearing this in mind, Mapplethorpe and the Flower is dedicated to unpacking how the artist’s unique brand of formal sophistication and discipline, combined with his conceptual bravado, interpenetrates all of his photographs—and reaches its formal and conceptual maturation in his flower images.

There has been significant critical attention paid to the artist’s more notorious photographs, namely the S&M imagery, and his now infamous persona as provocateur and sexual renegade. Fixation on this dimension of the artist’s mythology overshadows the formal details and interlocking representational and political commitments crosscutting the artist’s oeuvre. Mapplethorpe and the Flower is a recuperative effort: one that seeks to locate persistent threads running through the artist’s seemingly disparate aesthetic and conceptual investigations.
Over het meten van gedragsaspecten in organisaties
Authors: de Jong Gert , de Graaf Frank
Published: June 2020

De term soft control wordt gebruikt voor een keur aan sturings- en beheersmaatregelen die organisaties helpen op koers te blijven. Ze hebben vooral betrekking op gedrag en cultuur. Uit ons inventariserend onderzoek blijkt dat er geen eenduidigheid over de definitie van soft control is en al helemaal niet over de manier waarop soft control wordt uitgewerkt. Hierdoor zijn veel uitwerkingen en meetinstrumenten voor soft control in omloop. In dit artikel vragen we ons af hoe we de kwaliteit van meetinstrumenten voor soft control kunnen beoordelen. Op basis van een aantal methodologische criteria ontwikkelen we een ordeningskader van deze instrumenten. Hiermee scheppen we helderheid in de fascinerende wereld van sociaalwetenschappelijke meetinstrumenten.
Artikel 14 Wta ‘Zorgplicht’: Een dode letter? Tijd voor een feniks herrijzenis!
Authors: Eijkelenboom Eva , van Opijnen Martijn
Published: June 2020

Hoe geeft een accountantsorganisatie adequaat invulling aan de zorgplicht o.g.v. artikel 14 Wta? Op basis van de wetsgeschiedenis, de publieke uitingen van de toezichthouder en de rechtspraak geven de auteurs een overzicht van de invulling van de zorgplicht in de praktijk. Het bronnenonderzoek leidt tot de conclusie dat zorgplicht een veelomvattend begrip is, dat de beschrijvingen van overtreden van de zorgplicht en naleven van de zorgplicht niet elkaars spiegelbeeld vormen, dat zorgplicht zowel inspanning als resultaat omvat en dat de invulling van de zorgplicht overlap vertoont met andere wettelijke vereisten. Auteurs betogen dat een wetswijziging wellicht de oplossing biedt.
Decoupling of ΔO2∕Ar and particulate organic carbon dynamics in nearshore surface ocean waters
Authors: Rosengard Sarah Z. , Izett Robert W. , Burt William J. , Schuback Nina , Tortell Philippe D.
Published: June 2020

Abstract. We report results from two Lagrangian drifter surveys off the
Oregon coast, using continuous shipboard sensors to estimate mixed-layer
gross primary productivity (GPP), community respiration (CR), and net
community production (NCP) from variations in biological oxygen saturation
(ΔO2∕Ar) and optically derived particulate organic carbon
(POC). At the first drifter survey, conducted in a nearshore upwelling zone
during the development of a microplankton bloom, net changes in ΔO2∕Ar and [POC] were significantly decoupled. Differences in GPP and
NCP derived from ΔO2∕Ar (NCPO2/Ar) and POC (NCPPOC)
time series suggest the presence of large POC losses from the mixed layer.
At this site, we utilized the discrepancy between NCPO2/Ar and
NCPPOC, and additional constraints derived from surface water excess
nitrous oxide (N2O), to evaluate POC loss through particle export, DOC
production, and vertical mixing fluxes. At the second drifter survey,
conducted in lower-productivity, density-stratified offshore waters, we also
observed offsets between ΔO2∕Ar and POC-derived GPP and CR
rates. At this site, however, net [POC] and ΔO2∕Ar changes
yielded closer agreement in NCP estimates, suggesting a tighter relationship
between production and community respiration, as well as lower POC loss rates.
These results provide insight into the possibilities and limitations of
estimating productivity from continuous underway POC and ΔO2∕Ar
data in contrasting oceanic waters. Our observations support the use of diel
POC measurements to estimate NCP in lower-productivity waters with limited
vertical carbon export and the potential utility of coupled O2 and
optical measurements to estimate the fate of POC in high-productivity
regions with significant POC export.
Effect of changing ocean circulation on deep ocean temperature in the last millennium
Authors: Scheen Jeemijn , Stocker Thomas F.
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Paleoreconstructions and modern observations provide us with anomalies of surface temperature over the past millennium. The history of deep ocean temperatures is much less well-known and was simulated in a recent study for the past 2000 years under forced surface temperature anomalies. In this study, we simulate the past 800 years with an illustrative forcing scenario in the Bern3D ocean model, which enables us to assess the role of changes in ocean circulation on deep ocean temperature. We quantify the effect of changing ocean circulation by comparing transient simulations (where the ocean dynamically adjusts to anomalies in surface temperature – hence density) to simulations with fixed ocean circulation. We decompose temperature, ocean heat content and meridional heat transport into the contributions from changing ocean circulation and changing sea surface temperature (SST). In the deep ocean, the contribution from changing ocean circulation is found to be as important as the changing SST signal itself. Firstly, the small changes in ocean circulation amplify the Little Ice Age signal around 3 km depth by at least a factor of two, depending on the basin. Secondly, they fasten the arrival of this atmospheric signal in the Pacific and Southern Ocean at all depths, whereas they delay the arrival in the Atlantic between about 2.5 and 3.5 km by two centuries. This delay is explained by an initial competition between the Little Ice Age cooling and a warming due to an increase in relatively warmer North Atlantic Deep Water at the cost of Antarctic Bottom Water. Under the consecutive AMOC slowdown, this shift in water masses is inverted and aging of the water causes a late additional cooling. Our results suggest that small changes in ocean circulation can have a large impact on the amplitude and timing of ocean temperature anomalies below 2 km depth.

Abstract. Event-based landslide inventories are important for analyzing the relationship between the intensity of the trigger (e.g. rainfall, earthquake) and the density of the landslides in a particular area, as a basis for the estimation of the landslide probability and the conversion of susceptibility maps into hazard maps required for risk assessment. They are also crucial for the establishment of local rainfall thresholds that are the basis of Early Warning Systems, and for evaluating which land use/land cover changes are related to landslide occurrence. The completeness and accuracy of event-based landslide inventories are crucial aspects to derive at reliable results or the above types of analysis. In this study we generated a relatively complete landslide inventory for the 2018 Monsoon landslide event in the state of Kerala, India, based on two inventories that were generated using different methods: one based on Object Based Image Analysis (OBIA) and the other on field surveys of damaging landslides. We used a collaborative mapping approach based on the visual interpretation of pre-and post-event high-resolution satellite images available in Google Earth, adjusted the two inventories and digitize landslides that were missed in the two inventories. The reconstructed landslide inventory database contains 4728 landslides consisting of 2477 landslides mapped by OBIA method, 973 landslides mapped by field survey, 422 landslides mapped both by OBIA and field method and an additional 856 landslides mapped using the visual image (GE) interpretation. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.17026/dans-x6c-y7x2 (van Westen, 2020). Also, the location of the landslides was adjusted, based on the image interpretation, and the initiation points were used to evaluate the land use/land cover changes as a causal factor for the 2018 Monsoon landslides. A total of 45 % of the landslides that damaged buildings occurred due to cut-slope failure while 34 % of those impacting on roads were due to road cut-slope failures. The resulting landslide inventory is made available for further studies.
