Survival on the shores of a sacrifice zone: Thinking ecological emergencies together
Authors: Delbecke Jasper
Published: May 2022

How to address and cope with the complexity of the ecological breakdown as a documentary moving image artist? This text contends that the causes and the consequences of the current ecological situation create some challenges for documentary-orientated artistic practices. These challenges are on the one hand related to the overwhelming complexity of the Anthropocene. On the other hand, as addressed in this text, these challenges are connected to dominant assumptions related to the label ‘documentary’. By revisiting the roots of the documentary this article examines how the documentary mode can be productive for the planet’s present and future challenges. This endeavour will be illustrated by the way Belgian artists Hannes Dereere and Silke Huysmans use and present documentary footage in their documentary-performance Pleasant Island. Their thoughtful use of today’s most omnipresent device, the smartphone, problematizes the traditional responses of the documentary mode on climate emergency, whilst at the same time, their use of moving images and the instrument that produced these images insists to think today’s emergencies together.

Published: May 2022

En marzo de 2021 se ha celebrado el 80 aniversario de la primera aplicación terapéutica del radioyodo (RAI) por Saúl Hertz a una paciente con hipertiroidismo el 31 de marzo de 1936. El éxito alcanzado impulsó su utilización en el tratamiento del carcinoma diferenciado de tiroides (CDT) y supuso un cambio de paradigma en el manejo de las enfermedades tiroideas. Desde entonces, han cambiado las estrategias de administración de RAI a pacientes con CDT y aún hoy día existen controversias. En esta revisión vamos a comentar las diferentes estrategias adoptadas en la administración de RAI a pacientes con CDT a lo largo de estas 8 décadas y cuáles son las controversias actuales en cuanto a qué pacientes con CDT hay que administrar RAI y qué actividad de RAI se debe administrar.
Engaging Students with Disabilities in Universally Designed Science Education
Authors:   Rowan University, Sebti Latifa , Damiani Michelle ,   Rowan University
Published: May 2022

Increased student diversity in classrooms and the need for equitable STEM opportunities for all, creates an impetus for educators to establish inclusive and equitable environments and use teaching practices that facilitate meaningful learning for all students in science education. This article offers a three-part framework for combining inclusive philosophy, the science and engineering practices, and Universal Design for Learning. The article is intended to help teachers and teacher educators universally design science education to level the science learning field through access and equity for all students, including students with disabilities. We advocate for the use of four practices: creating an inclusive community of science learners, planning for big ideas over time, engaging students in sense-making through model-based inquiry, and engaging students in cooperative learning and science talk. Science teachers can use these practices to universally design science education and enhance science learning and STEM interest for underrepresented students. In the article, we provide visuals and tools for teachers to support implementation of the universally designed science practices.

Published: May 2022

El presente artículo de investigación da cuenta de las características que poseen cuatro instituciones educativas que incorporaron las TIC al currículo. Esta caracterización se apoya en los referentes teóricos planteados por el Modelo de Integración de las TIC al Currículo Escolar (MITICA). La investigación se enmarca en el paradigma hermenéutico por lo que se inscribe en la visión cualitativa; el diseño es descriptivo. El análisis de los resultados revela que existe un reconocimiento tanto de directivos como de docentes de la importancia de la utilización de las TIC en la escuela; no obstante, la falta de recursos tecnológicos y los escasos espacios de formación docente sobre el área impide la integración pedagógica de estas tecnologías a las dinámicas curriculares.

Authors: Yousef Rana F. , Al-Rubaye Muna M. , Muteb Haitham H.
Published: May 2022

For utility of economical and practical construction, precast concrete is used due to its advantages such as reliability, durability, and higher quality. The appropriate selection of connection between the precast elements can have a significant influence on both the structural performance and long-term durability of such precast system. In this study, the effects of different connecting techniques on the performance of the precast composite flanged beams were experimentally and numerically investigated. The experimental program included testing up to failure under flexural loading conditions three groups of composite specimens: reference group, mechanical connecting group and chemical connecting group. The numerical assessment was done by using a finite element analysis to get a better insight and analyze the response of tested composite beams that available in the software package ABAQUS. The experimental results showed the advantageous effects of using mechanical connecting technique, as evident from improvement of the ultimate capacity or ductility of the precast composite beams. The results also showed that the predicted structural behavior using finite element analysis in terms of ultimate carrying loads, load-midspan deflection curves and crack patterns of the composite beams was in good agreement with the experimental data.
Disentangling the impact of mean reversion in estimating policy response with dynamic panels
Authors: Besstremyannaya Galina , Golovan Sergei
Published: May 2022

This article accounts for multivariate dependence of the variable of policy interest in dynamic panel data models by disentangling the two sources of intertemporal dependence: one from the effect of the policy variable and the other from mean reversion. In a situation where intensity of the policy varies over time, we estimate the unconditional mean in the autoregressive process as a function of the agent’s characteristics and the policy intensity. Comparison of the fitted values of the unconditional mean under different values of the policy intensity enables identification of the policy effect cleared of mean reversion. The approach is relevant for measuring the effect of reforms, which use an intertemporal incentive where intensity of the reform varies over time. The empirical part of the article assesses the effect of hospital financing reform based on incentive contracts, related to the observed quality of services at Medicare hospitals in 2013–2019. We find a direct association between prior quality and quality improvement owing to the reform. Our result reassesses a stylized fact in the literature, which asserts that a pay-for-performance incentive leads to greater improvements at hospitals with lower baseline quality.

Roles of OLR1 and IL17A variants on clinical phenotypes of Turkish patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery
Authors: Recep Eymen , Bayoglu Burcu , Arslan Caner , Goksedef Deniz , Ipek Gokhan
Published: May 2022

Objectives

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a pathological condition resulting from atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. IL17A has been shown to recruit and activate macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions, thereby participating in plaque destabilization. Currently, whether OLR1 and IL17A variants are involved in the pathogenesis of CAD is unclear. This case-control study aimed to investigate their roles in CAD etiology and prognosis.

Methods

In this study, 100 severe CAD patients who had undergone the coronary artery bypass graft surgery and 100 healthy controls were genotyped for OLR1 rs11053646, IL17A rs3819025, and rs8193037 variants via RT-PCR.

Results

The patients with OLR1 rs11053646 CG + GG genotype demonstrated a higher frequency of multi-vessel stenosis (18%) than single- (11.10%) or double-vessel (13.30%) stenosis (p=0.77). Additionally, although not statistically significant, this group of patients had 6.280 times more CAD risk than CC genotype carriers (p=0.089). Furthermore, logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between the three variants and the risk factors for CAD development, namely waist circumference (p=0.002), body mass index (p=0.013), fasting glucose level (p=0.006), and triglyceride levels (p=0.035).

Conclusions

OLR1 rs11053646, IL17A rs3819025, and rs8193037 variants do not increase the risk for CAD development. However, this conclusion should be confirmed with a larger cohort.
Overview of Durability and Methods of Service Life Prediction for Building Adhesive and Sealant Products
Authors: Riahinezhad Marzieh , Hallman Madeleine , Masson J. -F. , Lacasse Michael A.
Published: May 2022

Jointing and sealant products play an important role in maintaining the weathertightness of buildings. Despite being relatively inexpensive, in respect to the overall cost of a building, they help minimize water penetration into and air movement across the building envelope. As such, sealant failures can result in undue air and moisture transfer across the building envelope, a loss of energy efficiency, and, given moisture ingress to the building envelope, the degradation of materials and components therein. To avoid serious degradation of building components and possible damage to the structural integrity of buildings as well as the potential significant and costly consequences of sealant failure, it is important to understand the underlying reasons for the degradation of adhesive and sealant products that, in turn, permit predicting their life expectancy. In this paper, a review is provided on advances in the durability, service life, and service life prediction (SLP) of sealants and adhesives in the building domain over the past decade. In this overview, emphasis is placed on work derived from relevant technical committees, together with symposia and conferences focused on the SLP of polymer materials. The information serves both as a primer on the topic and an update on previous contributions in this area. Examples of current trends in SLP are presented, along with expectations for future research.
Assessment of the Damage to Sealed Joints of MS-2 and PU-1 in a Simultaneous Test of Composite Deterioration Due to Ultraviolet Rays and Joint Movement
Authors: Miura Naobumi , Miyauchi Hiroyuki
Published: May 2022

In the present paper, a small displacement-controlled fatigue testing device that weighs about 1 kg was used, which was developed to assess fatigue resistance of sealed joints. We conducted simultaneous complex deterioration tests with ultraviolet (UV) radiation and joint movements to assess damages to sealed joints. In addition, we assessed damages to sealed joints when joint movements were added during the curing process. The small fatigue testing device consists of three parts: a displacement regulator part that repetitively applies specific deformation to sealants, a load measurement part by load cells, and a part load that is captured by a computer. Sealants were a one-component polyurethane sealant and a two-component modified silicon sealant. Deterioration factors that incur damage to joints in a simultaneous complex deterioration test with UV radiation and joint movements were separate deterioration factors and simultaneous complex deterioration factors of UV radiation and joint movements, respectively. The results showed that complex deterioration factors of UV radiation and joint movements allowed for the re-creation of damages similar to those that occurred after a long-term exposure in a very short period of time compared with separate deterioration factors. This test demonstrated a possibility of a screening method that allows for a short-time preliminary evaluation as opposed to the accelerated durability test device that requires a long period of time. The state of damage to the sealed joints when movement was added to the joint during the curing process varied depending on the curing mechanism of the sealant. However, it was confirmed that the damage could be improved by using a breathable material such as a backup material to the joint base even for ones with severe damage. In addition, depending on the temperature condition during the curing process, stress relaxation characteristics can be changed.
Development of a Building Inspection Method Using Drones and Its Possible Utilization in Sealant Field Maintenance
Authors: Miyauchi Hiroyuki
Published: May 2022

Drones have the potential to save on labor and reduce costs associated with building inspections. In this study, I considered the prospect of how drones could be used in sealant field maintenance based on technological developments related to drone-based building inspections. First, I researched and compiled a “road map'” of drone utilization in Japan and studied the related laws and regulations applicable to road map. Next, I conducted research on current inspection technology and the level of applicability of this technology when conducting a building inspection using drones. Through this I found that drone-based inspections could reduce the cost and time of surveying compared with current normal methods of inspection. I also proposed solutions to accidental drone crashes during building inspections, for example, using line guidance systems and practicing safe drone flight using mixed reality. These systems were found to considerably reduce the risk of drone collision. The image accuracy of drone-mounted cameras with different image resolutions were also evaluated, and I found that it was necessary to select a camera and drone based on the performance required for an inspection. Moreover, the development of automatic drone inspection technology, and our verification experiments of such, showed that surveying a building via drone flight was possible even in a non-GPS environment by using visual simultaneous localization and mapping technology. In addition, the image information captured by the drone can be saved as an archive, making it possible to store building deterioration data and use it for other deterioration tests. Finally, to realize the social implementation of drones, I established the Japan Architectural Drone Association and developed a safe and secure building inspection method via drones by creating an education program and defining building inspection protocols and specifications for drones.
A Strain-Normalized Serviceability Limit State for the Secondary Seal of Insulating Glass Units with Rigid Box Spacers: Optimizing Serviceability of IGU Seals
Authors: Nizich Adam J. , Sanders Helen E. , Burkhart Kelly L.
Published: May 2022

Insulating glass unit (IGU) geometries, cavity dimensions, installations, and edge seal forces can vary considerably from those qualified with laboratory test specimens for durability. The life span of an IGU is often limited by the design and fabrication quality of the edge seal system. The durability of IGU edge seal systems in North America is evaluated with standardized laboratory weathering tests for the established IGU specimen dimensions and glass compositions specified in ASTM E2190. For edge seal design of structurally glazed dual-sealed IGUs, the secondary seal contact width for a selected edge seal system is based on the minimum dimension qualified in the ASTM E2190 test specimen and the calculated capacity to resist wind load per ASTM C1249. The contact width of the secondary seal is currently evaluated for capacity to resist wind load without an application-specific review of edge seal durability—that is, there is no method to ensure that predicted environmental forces, such as cavity loads, do not cause excessive strain in the primary sealant that would accelerate moisture vapor transmission and gas loss substantially above that experienced by the IGU laboratory test specimen.

A serviceability limit state is proposed for design of the secondary seal of dual-sealed IGUs with a rigid box spacer to achieve a comparable polyisobutylene (PIB) strain to that experienced by IGUs when tested according to ASTM E2190 (strain-normalized performance). This paper describes an evaluation of IGU edge seal structural mechanics with finite element analysis. On the basis of our results, we suggest that service-level design capacity is a function of PIB strain (rather than structural sealant stress) for long-term cavity loads and is the governing limit state for IGU edge seal design. This is an initial step in the development of an analytical method to engineer IGU edge seals for serviceability.
Practical Considerations for Sealant Durability
Authors: Sikkerbol Erik , McCowan Derek B.
Published: May 2022

This paper discusses practical challenges and case studies involving field-applied and factory-applied sealants. We have substantial experience selecting and specifying sealants for exterior wall applications, reviewing substrate preparation and sealant installation work in progress, investigating problematic sealant conditions, and reviewing industry standards. It is our experience that poor sealant selection, inadequate substrate preparation, and faulty installation work are rampant in the field of construction sealants used in building enclosure installation and rehabilitation projects. Despite helpful industry standards, manufacturers’ literature, and widely known best practices, the sealant selection, testing, installation, and quality-control processes are frequently rushed and poorly performed. We discuss various successful and unsuccessful projects, with an emphasis on common problems, lessons learned, and realistic good-practice suggestions that can help minimize risks of similar problems occurring in the future.
Bovine Brucellosis and Its Public Health Significance in Ethiopia
Authors: Erkyihun Gashaw Adane , Gari Fikru Regassa , Kassa Gezahegne Mamo
Published: May 2022

Bovine brucellosis is endemic and widely distributed in Ethiopia. The country has already prioritized top five zoonotic diseases (rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, Rift Valley fever and highly pathogenic avian influenza) in 2019 using reprioritization workshop. So brucellosis is one of the top five neglected zoonotic diseases in the country. According to several studies, the distribution and prevalence of bovine and human brucellosis in Ethiopia varies among regions in terms of animal production and management systems, community living standards and awareness levels. The disease has major zoonotic and economic implications for rural communities, particularly pastoralists. The aim of this article was therefore to review and summarize recent studies (2010–2021) on the prevalence of bovine brucellosis in animals and humans, with reference to Ethiopia. This review describes both bovine and human brucellosis reported from various geographical areas of the country. Reports between the years 2010 and 2021 indicated a prevalence rate between 1.2% and 22.5% at the individual level, and 3.3% and.68.6% at the herd level. However, the human brucellosis seroprevalence rate was 2.15%–48.3% between 2006 and 2021. This increase clearly indicates the expected future threat of this disease in the country. However, control measures and community awareness are lacking. Therefore, actual implementation of prevention and control measures, community awareness, further studies and continual review to provide compiled information for understanding the transmission dynamics of the disease are essential.

Authors: KÜREKCİ Cemil , BEYAZİT Neslihan
Published: May 2022

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical composition of extracts of Mentha piperita var. citrata obtained by using three different solvents as well as their antimicrobial activity against a panel of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. The antibacterial activities of the extracts (hexane, chloroform, and 70% aqueous methanol) were tested against a panel of bacteria using broth microdilution method. Rosmarinic acid (10.505 mg/g extract), cynaroside (8.545 mg/g extract) and cosmosiin (8.489 mg/g extract) appeared to be the major components of methanolic extract, whereas acacetin was the most abundant (8.438 mg/g extract) component of chloroform extract. M. citrata extracts showed significant antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria at different concentrations. Chloroform extract from M. citrata showed antimicrobial activity at concentration of 512-4096 µg/mL, whereas hexane and methanolic extracts had activity at 1024-4096 µg/mL and 2048-4096 µg/mL, respectively. This study shows the different chemical composition and antimicrobial activities of M. citrata extracts obtained by using different extraction solvents.
Income Inequality and Political Participation in Asia
Authors: Wong Mathew Y. H.
Published: May 2022

This paper examines the impact of income inequality on political participation in Asia. Both conventional conflict theory and relative power theory suggest that inequality affects political participation, but they predict opposite directions. In this paper, I argue that the effects of inequality on participation depend on the type of political action: radical or institutional. To substantiate this claim, I analyze four Asian Barometer Survey waves from 2001 to 2014. Using nested models, I find that the effect of income inequality is conditional: it is positively associated with violent activities; has no significant correlation with less radical forms of protest; and is negatively associated with institutional actions, namely voting and persuading others to vote. While the effect does not depend on income level, regime type matters for certain activities. Political capacity, the perception of powerlessness, and trust in government are other potential factors in the relationship.

Published: May 2022

It is estimated that 6% of the US population suffer from diabetes with 15% of them experience diabetic foot. Several studies have explored the various benefits of sea cucumber for human being, including its antioxidant nature. This study aimed to investigate the effect of surf redfish, one species of the sea cucumbers, in diabetic wound healing. This was an animal experimental study performed at the Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Tjut Nyak Dhien Medan, Indonesia, during the period of February- July 2019. Twenty five mice in diabetic condition were divided into five groups: control, standard, ethanol extract of surf redfish-1, ethanol extract of surf redfish-2, and ethanol extract of surf redfish-3 3. The surf redfish was obtained from Lamreh Village in Aceh and the ethanol was extracted using the maceration method. The parameters used for evaluating the efficacy of surf redfish ethanol extract were blood glucose level, length of wound incision, and histopathological features. Surf redfish extract presented a significant reduction of blood glucose level which that followed the increase in the dose of the ethanol extract (p-value <0.05) where the most significant reduction was seen in the group with the highest dose on the last day. This trend was also seen for the length of the wound, where the reduction was significantly higher in treatment groups when compared to control (p-value <0.05). The histological study also confirmed the improvement in the clinical appearance of wound by showing significantly increased fibroblast cell number and collagen density (p-value <0.05). Overall, the surf redfish can help better incision's wound healing in diabetic condition.

Subjectivity
Authors: Castor N Fadeke
Published: May 2022

This article focuses on subjectivity in the ethnography of religion by considering the multiplicity of subjectivity and their relationalities, drawing from the author’s ethnographic encounter with the orisha Oshun in Trinidad. This reflection on the implications of taking seriously the spectral or spirit, in their many forms and aspects, as active agents involves the expansion of subjectivity and the relational aspects of inter-subjectivity from the singular to the multiple. Written from a purposefully provocative compound subject position of “I/we”, this article asks that ethnographers of religion grapple with the offerings of ontologies outside the Western “normative” intellectual tradition. I/we offer that this shift will impact our engagements with the people and communities that we work with, expanding our capacity to share multiple worlds and our ability to engage numerous theorizations.

Published: May 2022

Este ensaio teórico busca compreender se a teoria dos Paradoxos da Inclusão de Ferdman (2017) reforça ou não os mitos ou discursos legitimadores do preconceito. Para cumprir esse objetivo, são apresentadas e discutidas algumas teorias, que apresentam conceitos relacionados a tais aspectos legitimadores do preconceito, como a Teoria da Dominância Social, a Teoria da Justificação do Sistema e a Hipótese do Contato. Os conceitos mais contemporâneos relacionados com a diversidade e a inclusão são apresentados, aprofundando-se nos paradoxos da inclusão introduzidos por Ferdman. Constatou-se que há elementos que reforçam discursos justificadores do preconceito na teoria apresentada, mas que ela também apresenta elementos inovadores que apresentam o fenômeno da inclusão de um modo mais complexo. há elementos dos paradoxos que de algum modo reforçam alguns mitos legitimadores dos preconceitos, como a importância que é dada ao papel ativo do próprio sujeito na sua inclusão, podendo reforçar aspectos da meritocracia.
Forma-de-vida e pluralismo de oposição ao direito: as portas da justiça em Walter Benjamin, a rejeição franciscana ao direito no século XIV e a ayahuasca indígena
Authors: Pinto João Paulo Salles , Rocha Leonel Severo
Published: May 2022

Que o direito e a ordem jurídica tem a ver, sobretudo, com uma maneira de violência culpabilizante e essencial da vida, trata-se, sem embargo, da premissa principal das análises dos textos jurídicos de Walter Benjamin. Tais reflexões e posicionamentos permitem, não obstante, um revisitar dos modernos modos de se compreender a relação entre ação, prática e direito, a partir e, em especial, de experiências como a dos franciscanos no século XIV e da contemporânea ayahuasca indígena. Neste sentido, objetiva-se com o presente artigo explicitar, sobretudo, a cumplicidade que, sem embargo, parece não ser levada tanto em conta, entre a violência, a vida e o poder do direito, para consignar, não obstante, a necessidade de se pensar a vida e sua forma para além e fora do domínio jurídico. Portanto, a problemática central que nos move é a seguinte: é possível constituir uma ação humana que se situe fora de toda relação com o direito; ação que não ponha, que não execute ou que não simplesmente transgrida a ordem jurídica? De fato, conclui-se que é necessária uma releitura distinta de um pluralismo, pugnando, no caso, analisar a forma-de-vida como fundamento de uma oposição e renúncia ao direito, sobretudo, no sentido indeterminado de uma vida que, por consequência, é sua própria forma, sua própria existência.

Published: May 2022

Key findings Data from the National Health Interview Survey - In 2020, 84.4% of children aged 5-17 years had a regular bedtime every day or most days during a typical school week. - Children aged 12-17 years (78.9%) were less likely than children aged 5-11 years (89.6%) to have a regular bedtime every day or most days in a typical school week. - Just over three-quarters of children living in families with a single parent and those with incomes less than 100% of the federal poverty level had a regular bedtime every day or most days in a typical school week. - Children with a regular bedtime every day or most days were about one-half as likely (5.9%) to be tired during the day every day or most days compared with children with a regular bedtime on some days or never (13.0%). The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends 9-12 hours of sleep for children aged 6-12 years and 8-10 hours for those aged 13-18 (1), yet only two-thirds of children meet these recommendations (2). This report uses 2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to describe regular bedtimes, defined as going to sleep at the same time most days or every day in a typical school week, among children aged 5-17 years. Estimates are presented by sociodemographic characteristics, family type, Social Vulnerability Index (SVI), family income, and urbanicity of residence.

Authors: Whig Vandana
Published: May 2022

Today, the Internet has become a central informational medium that has completely transformed the way we learn, teach, and communicate. Social media offers an online platform that allows users to exchange information and ideas through posts, tweets, and comments, although with word
or character count restrictions. Evidently, creativity cannot be curtailed through content length restrainment. This lead to the emergence of a new genre of short-stories called short-short stories along with the birth of a new English dialect called Text-Speak. The prevalence of social media
exchanges shows that technology users have readily accepted these quick social site interactions as a new way of communicating and have also adjusted their writing to match the content restrictions. The phenomenal popularity of short stories that can fit in a tweet or text is an example of
how an obstacle can be turned into an opportunity for the unfolding of new innovations. Literary purists and educators, however, are concerned that the attitudes and habits of tech-savvy generation are muddying Standard English as Text-Speak has started to infiltrate students' assignments,
blurring the distinction between formal and informal writing at an alarming rate. This paper delineates the impact of technology on daily English writing and literature.

Authors: Wakeland R.G.
Published: May 2022

Anonymous demographic and course attendance data from both credit and non-credit English as a second language (ESL) courses at a community college in the USA formed the basis to compare the two. Derived from public information obtained from students, this data served to gauge the success
of both individual courses as well as the college's goals for student success. Course efficiency was measured as a ratio between faculty number and student attendance hours. Functioning to comply with funding requirements, the data also showed the differences between the two course types.
This method had relevance for curriculum choice, funding, and both individual course as well as overall program evaluation. The literature review placed the comparison on a timeline of data used in educational assessment from 1961 grant reports to 21st century learning analytics. Included
are suggestions for future applications.

The emergence of Contact Improvisation in the aesthetic-political laboratory of the 60s and 70s
Authors: Singer Mariela
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT This text reflects on the emergence of contact improvisation and the changes generated by postmodern dance in the American aesthetic-political context of the 60s and 70s. New modes of dance production developed by the New York neo-avant-garde of that period are addressed; the experimental attitude of the artists; and their interest in collaborative forms, among others. Based on the research results of my doctoral thesis, the literature on an emblematic discipline of postmodern dance, about which there are few publications in Spanish, is expanded. Further study may open imaginative horizons for new laboratory practices.
