2. Blown Away: the Impact of the Wolfe Island Wind Turbines on Local Bat Populations
Authors: Attridge Victoria , Bonar Nicolle , Butz Christina , Connell Celeste , Curtis Rachel
Published: April 2021

This study was undertaken in order to explore the extent of migratory bat fatalities and assess the ecological impact stemming from the Wolfe Island wind facility near Kingston, Ontario. As the Wolfe Island wind project is the second largest wind farm in Canada, our research and proposed solutions may bridge the gap between local interests in reducing bat mortality and maximizing energy production. Additionally, bat populations are critical to local agriculture; increased mortality could lead to significant agricultural losses as well as potential impacts on components of the bats’ food web. First, information will be gathered, through the use of peer-reviewed journal articles and news items to support our project focus, to assess the magnitude of local bat population change following the construction of wind turbines on Wolfe Island. Further, we will explore the consequences of bat population decline on the local Kingston area ecosystem. Lastly, possible realistic solutions will be investigated in order to lessen the environmental impact of the existing wind turbines, and possibly to alter future policy regarding turbine construction and location. Preliminary results will be presented and discussed with the appropriate representatives from local and provincial bodies relevant to wind energy, environmental policy and conservation efforts.
4. The Impacts of Deer Overabundance in Kingston Forest Ecosystems and Surrounding Areas
Authors: Burliuk Colleen , Berman Michael , Bhalla Mahadev , Burgesson Bernard , Cairns Georgia
Published: April 2021

White-tailed deer are generalists who can adapt to a wide variety of habitats from temperate forests to the open prairies. As a keystone species, they play a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community (Rawinski, 2008). Despite record harvests in recent years, deer populations are at all-time highs around the Kingston region. Foraging deer consume or destroy the seedlings of highly preferred species, reducing plant diversity and on occasion, creating near monocultures.  The objective is to analyze the impacts of white-tailed deer overabundance on vegetation within an urban forest ecosystem around Kingston, Ontario. This involves evaluating past, present, and future mitigation efforts in order to remediate the areas affected by overgrazing to ensure long term environmental sustainability.  Critical to our evaluation on white-tailed deer in Kingston forest communities, we will be examining the ecosystems trophic relationships in the area including herbivory and selection pressures. Why have deer become so numerous?  How are they affecting forest ecosystems? And why should landowners, forest managers, and the general public be concerned? After evaluating the current situation, we aim to propose a viable solution that will address the primary concerns highlighted above.  In conclusion of our research we hope to restore the vegetative community and biodiversity of our local forests to their original state.
18. Controlling Purple Loosestrife Populations in the Kingston and Surrounding Areas
Authors: Randall Keenan , Greene Ty , Lee Melissa , McNabb Carlyn
Published: April 2021

Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is an invasive plant species that has affected agriculture and wildlife across Canada. The weed is not native to Canada; however in municipalities like Kingston and the surrounding area, it has caused tangible problems. We will strive to engage a government partner (City of Kingston), community organization (ON Invasive Species Awareness Program), and a local resident throughout the completion of our research and regarding the viability of solutions proposed.

First, we will examine the origins of the plant in Canada, emphasizing the reproductive characteristics that make the purple loosestrife a powerfully invasive species. Next, we will analyze the impact of the purple loosestrife from three perspectives: (1) the impact on native plant communities; (2) the impact on native animal communities; (3) the impact on human life. We will then evaluate current bio management controls, as utilized by other governments, such as the introduction of another foreign species as a control agent. Specifically, we will examine the potential control systems using the following criteria: (1) ability to control the invasive species; (2) feasibility and cost; and (3) direct and indirect negative impacts. Finally, we will propose a comprehensive strategy for each organization moving forward, allowing for increased community collaboration and, ideally, the elimination and/or control of the invasive species.
Programas de prevención de obesidad infantil en México: una revisión sistemática PICO
Authors: Pérez Ortiz Alejandro , Ortega Luyando Mayaro , Amaya Hernández Adriana
Published: April 2021

El sobrepeso y obesidad infantil en México han alcanzado proporciones epidémicas, afectando hasta 33.2% de la población. Identificar qué tipo de programas de prevención se han llevado a cabo y qué profesionales de la salud intervienen en su aplicación es una tarea necesaria para identificar si estos han sido efectivos. Por lo tanto, los objetivos de la presente revisión sistemática fueron: a) identificar los programas de prevención de obesidad infantil en México, b) analizar su metodología e indicadores de cambio utilizados para evaluar la efectividad del programa y c) identificar asimismo la teoría psicológica que utiliza y las funciones que desempeña el psicólogo en dichos programas, para lo cual se realizó una búsqueda sistemática bajo la metodología PICO en seis bases de datos: Scopus, Scielo, Pubmed, Web of Science, RedALyC y TesiUNAM. Se incluyen los estudios realizados en población escolar mexicana de 5 a 11 años en el periodo de 2008 a 2018. Se encontraron 3,502 artículos, y tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión se analizaron seis estudios. Los hallazgos señalan que el índice de masa corporal es el parámetro más empleado para evaluar la efectividad de un programa, y que las perspectivas conductual e interconductual suelen ser las más utilizadas para el diseño, aplicación y evaluación de los programas de prevención cuando se trata de estudios realizados por psicólogos, lo cual suele estar ausente en estudios a cargo de otros profesionales de la salud.

Authors: Denis Rodríguez Edmundo , Ríos Maya Nancy Patricia , Melo Santiesteban Guadalupe , Denis Rodríguez Patricia Beatriz , Capetillo Hernández Guadalupe Rosalía
Published: April 2021

El vitíligo es una enfermedad dermatológica frecuente que afecta a alrededor del 1% de la población mundial. Aunque no es considerada una enfermedad con riesgo de morbimortalidad elevado, se ha evidenciado que puede asociarse con manifestaciones psicopatológicas diversas que pudieran ser una consecuencia de la misma. En el presente artículo se lleva a cabo una revisión de las evidencias actuales sobre la relación existente entre el vitíligo, los parámetros definitorios de calidad de vida, la presencia de trastornos afectivos y el posible vínculo con el aumento del riesgo de ideación suicida. Es claro que la identificación de los factores de riesgo es de suma utilidad para que los profesionales de la dermatología puedan detectar pacientes que deban ser manejados psicológicamente de manera concomitante.

Published: April 2021

Introducción: La insuficiencia renal crónica (IRC) que se padece durante la adolescencia puede tener repercusiones que interfieren en lograr los hitos propios de esta etapa, como la adquisición de la autonomía, la formación de la imagen corporal y la integración con el grupo de pares. Objetivo: Entender, desde la perspectiva de los adolescentes, los aspectos de la enfermedad que afectan sus relaciones con padres y pares y su imagen corporal. Método: Este estudio, de tipo exploratorio, descriptivo y cualitativo, se realizó mediante entrevistas a profundidad. Participaron adolescentes de entre 12 y 20 años de edad con IRC, pacientes de un hospital de segundo nivel del estado de Aguascalientes (México). Con el software Atlas Ti, se elaboraron matrices para la codificación de categorías y subcategorías. Resultados: En cuanto a su imagen corporal, los adolescentes manifestaron tener preocupaciones por cuestiones propias de la enfermedad, como inflamación, pérdida de peso y cambio en la coloración de la piel; en el área de autonomía, expresaron tener riñas con sus padres por la alimentación que deben seguir, por las salidas con amigos y por la sobreprotección de que son objeto, lo que los restringe en sus actividades cotidianas; respecto a sus pares, los participantes manifestaron obtener de ello un mayor apoyo social en su enfermedad. Discusión: Los adolescentes perciben que la IRC repercute negativamente en su imagen corporal y en su relación con sus padres. Las intervenciones psicológicas para adolescentes con IRC y sus padres de familia deben atender este tipo de repercusiones específicas de la enfermedad, a fin de amortiguar el impacto negativo que podría obstaculizar su desarrollo óptimo.

Land use and terrestrial arthropods at the Colombian Pacific coast
Authors: Löhr Bernhard , Narváez Alexandra
Published: April 2021

Diversity, permanence, and activity of terrestrial arthropods were investigated in four areas of different land use in the lowlands of the Pacific coast of Colombia with the aim to identify potential predator species for the palm root borer, Sagalassa valida. Ten pitfall traps were established along a 100 m transect in four areas: a secondary forest, a 20 year.-old peach palm plantation, and two hybrid oil palm plantations of three and seven years of age, respectively. Twenty-two collections were made covering a whole year. All ants were identified to species or morphospecies level, the other arthropods to order or where possible to family level. In total, 50,603 arthropods were captured, the most abundant were ants (37.0 %), followed by Collembola (35.4 %), Acari (10.6 %), Coleoptera (7.0 %) and Diptera, Hemiptera and Araneae in almost equal numbers (around 2.5 %). Orthoptera (92 % Gryllidae) were present in all collections, always at low numbers. The highest number of ants were recorded in the oil palm transects; Diptera, Hemiptera and Orthoptera were more numerous in the secondary forest, Acari, Araneae and Collembola in the palm transects. Ectatomma ruidum was by far the dominant ant species (84.9 % of all specimens) and absent from only 20 of the 880 captures. The second most frequent ant genus were army ants with two species, Labidus praedator and L. coecus. Rainfall, even area-wide flooding, and temperature did not explain variability in captures of any taxonomic group satisfactorily. We conclude that E. ruidum might be the predator to provide control of the root borer and recommend further studies on its efficiency.

Published: April 2021

Control of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) is usually accomplished with synthetic insecticides, which can be a problem considering exportation of fruits. This study aimed to evaluate mortality and offspring effects on A. fraterculus using peach, strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba (Carapa guianensis) oil. Higher mortality rate was observed when compared to control on strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba oil (18.4 % and 35.0 % points more than the control). The mean number of pupae observed in the offspring was inferior to the control on strawberry guava and apple fruits treated with andiroba oil (100 % control) and, on peach fruits (68.3 % fewer pupae). Andiroba oil shows promising results as an alternative product to control A. fraterculus. Studies are still needed especially considering the effectiveness of andiroba oil under field conditions.

The quality of life improved during disease remission. Chronic intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms reduce the quality of life of patients.
Endometriosis of the perianal region – epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment
Authors: Kołodziejczak Małgorzata , Sudoł-Szopińska Iwona , Siergiej Małgorzata
Published: April 2021

Endometriosis is the presence of the uterine endometrium beyond the uterus. The disease usually affects women of childbearing age. Foci of endometriosis are mostly (in 95% of cases) located in the peritoneal cavity (cervix uteri, vaginal vault, vulva, urinary bladder, inguinofemoral region) and only rarely found beyond it. Occasionally, endometriosis is found in the perineal tissues, usually in the episiotomy scar, and, exceptionally rarely, in the anorectal region. Endometriosis usually develops in the period of hormonal activity. The disease may be asymptomatic or manifest with dyspareunia, pelvic pain syndrome, fertility problems, menstrual disorders and heavy menstruation. The diagnosis of anorectal endometriosis is established through a thorough interview and additional tests, including transrectal and transvaginal ultrasound or optionally magnetic resonance imaging. The final diagnosis is determined in a histopathological examination, usually of samples collected intraoperatively. Also, an endoscopic examination should be performed (at least rectoscopy) to rule out other pathological lesions. Treatment includes pharmacotherapy and surgery. In young patients, in the period of hormonal activity, extensive resection with primary sphincter reconstruction seems to be the most optimal option. In older patients, nearing menopause, conservative treatment is a better solution as endometriosis regresses and disease symptoms subside after menopause. In these cases, conservative treatment helps avoid iatrogenic sphincter injury and faecal incontinence.

Istnieje powszechna hipoteza, że autorem popularnej polsko-ukraińskiej piosenki „Hej, Sokoły!” jest Tomasz Padura, absolwent Liceum Krzemienieckiego, znanej w historii Polski i Ukrainy placówki edukacyjnej. Instytucje tego typu powstały w Imperium Rosyjskim (Liceum Carskiego Sioła, Liceum Nieżyńskiego, Liceum Richelieu) w celu szkolenia urzędników służby cywilnej różnych dziedzin i regionów. W ukraińskim Krzemieńcu etniczny Polak Tomasz Padura zainspirowany ideami romantycznej przeszłości Ukrainy stał się autorem wielu utworów poetyckich opowiadających o zwycięstwach i porażkach ukraińskich Kozaków. Najsłynniejszym tego typu dziełem była piosenka „Hej, Sokoły!” Jednak pomimo tego, że prawie wszyscy popularyzatorzy tej piosenki uważali Padurę za autora, do dziś nie ma ani jednego faktycznego dowodu jego autorstwa.

Published: April 2021

The wave of reform in Indonesia that was rolling in the context of overthrowing the New Order was full of abuse of power, corruption, collusion, nepotism (KKN) and human rights violations. Application of the concept of a direct law enforcement system against the category of international crimes, which in the past emphasized the national justice jurisdiction (indirect enforcement system). Cases of human rights violations are very interesting, because the crimes that occur have a special condition which by experts call it a special form of political crime. The research method in this study is a normative juridical research method, which means that this research is sourced from library data. The legal issue in this research is How is the individual and command responsibilities in Serious Human Rights Violations in Indonesia. The results of this research show that Indonesia is currently under the spotlight internationally in connection with the indictment of gross human rights violations, especially in the issues of East Timor, Tanjung Priok and so on. The universal principle that it is impossible to treat gross human rights violations as "ordinary crimes" and the existence of a universal qualification regarding "crimes against humanity" requires the utilization of a special human rights court, which also contains several special criminal procedures. In accordance with the provisions of the International Criminal Code Statute (Art.l), cases which have been investigated and terminated by the country concerned will not be accepted for trial by the ICC (inadmissible). We have to show everyone that called "International Criminal Tribunal" really is complementary to the national courts
Deformation tectonic waves as a possible trigger mechanism for the activation of methane emissions in the Arctic

The authors consider a model of tectonic waves in the lithosphere, caused by the strongest earthquakes in the Aleutian subduction zone and propagating from it into the Arctic shelf and adjacent land areas. They demonstrate that changes in thermodynamic conditions at the boundary between the rigid lithosphere and viscous asthenosphere can generate traveling wave disturbances. The mechanism of this phenomenon is associated with the fact that the rate of movement of the base of the lithosphere, which is the solidus line, does not coincide with the rate of movement of its surface, and the viscous reaction of the asthenosphere becomes a function of the kinetics of the melting process. The emerging traveling tectonic wave generates a decrease in normal stresses in the near-surface layer of the earth’s crust, which, according to the L. I. Lobkovsky hypothesis, leads to the activation of methane emission from the accumulation zones of metastable relict gas hydrates and the onset of sharp warming phases of the actual climate in the Arctic.

Published: April 2021

In this work, a novel approach is proposed based on the accurate computation of a protein’s inaccessible volume as regards to a ligand, plus the corresponding surface area, where the ligand can be placed in order to “touch” the protein without any overlaps. The proposed approach can be thought as an extension of the widely used concept of the Solvent-Accessible Surface Area (SASA), evaluating the surface generated by the ligand while being rolled over all the atoms of the protein without penetrating them. Identification of the inaccessible volume of each candidate protein-ligand pair is also provided in the context of this study, along with the boundary surface where the ligand can be placed so as to be in “contact” with the protein, which is expected to significantly enhance the ability to investigate specific protein drug interactions.
REDUPLICATION IN JAVANESE
Authors: Wijana I Dewa Putu
Published: April 2021

This paper aims at describing Javanese reduplication system with focus of attention on forms, functions, and grammatical meanings. By using data extracted from Javanese text books and  ones of my own creation  whose grammaticalty and acceptability are previously tested with several native speakers,  through distributional method with its various technical analysis,  the research found that Javanese reduplication can be classified  into at least four linguistic forms. Those are full reduplication, partial reduplication, sound modification reduplication, and  affix-combined reduplication. Javanese reduplication can either perform inflective or derivative function in relation to its potentiality to maintain and change the word identity. Finally, with regard to the grammatical meanings, Javanese  reduplication at least can express eleven grammatical meanings, i.e. plurality, diversity, continuity,  intensity, attenuation,  reciprocity,  artificiality, collectivity, rate, astonishment and contrast. Many of these grammatical meanings are context sensitive.

Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of six weeks of small-sided games (SSG), speed endurance (SER) and combined SSG and SER (CT) training programs on sprint, repeated sprint, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) and level 2 (Yo-Yo IR2) performance in young soccer players. Forty-one elite young soccer players (body height: 174.0 ± 7.5 cm, body weight: 59.7 ± 9.5 kg, age: 14.6 ± 0.5 years, training age: 7.4 ± 0.6 years) underwent anthropometric measurements before performing 10m and 30m sprint tests, repeated sprint tests, and Yo-Yo IR1 and Yo-Yo IR2. The players were then divided into four groups: the SSG group (SSG; n=11), the SER group (SER; n=10), the CT group (CT; n=11), and the control group (CG; n=9). All groups performed training for six weeks on two days out of the five training days the participants were undertaking. There was a statistically significant increase in the Yo-Yo IR1 and Yo-Yo IR2 test performances of players in SSG, SER and CT groups (p<.05). In addition, players in these groups showed significantly higher percentage increases in Yo-Yo IR2 test performance compared to the CG. The CT group also had a statistically significant increase in Yo-Yo IR1 test performance compared to the CG (p<.05). In conclusion, while this study shows that SSG and SER training can be used for physical performance development in isolation or in combination, coaches and sports scientists are advised to choose combined training to use training time more efficiently.

Published: April 2021

This study investigated the death anxiety (DA) scores
of participants in outdoor-adventure recreational (OAR) activities, and the relationship
of the DA scores to several demographic features and experience of DA. The study
included 589 individuals with various leisure-time OAR experience levels (131 women,
458 men; Mage=29.79±9.64). Their sports included climbing (n=200),
scuba diving (n=142), and paragliding (n=247). DA was measured by the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale. Overall,
the DA scores were low, with no significant differences between OAR activities.
However, the DA scores were affected by age and gender, and length of OAR
experience. More specifically, the DA scores were highest for 18-28-year-old
participants, women, and participants with 4-6 years of middle-level OAR experience.
Previous negative DA experiences did not increase the DA scores.

The changing trend towards the use of natural ingredients in product formulation has becoming very significant nowadays. Herbal products have gained increasing popularity in the last decade, and are now used by approximately 20% of the population and contribute to the health care of our people. The natural products global trade is projected to be over RM2 trillion by the year 2020 as more people are turning to herbal-based products as nutritional and dietary supplements; an alternative to the conventional therapeutic medicine. Therefore it is hoped that the utilisation of natural ingredients could be capitalised for the mass production of herbal based products. Malaysian herbal product market is experiencing tremendous growth. Malaysia's rich tropical biodiversity is a reliable source for natural health products, and the Government is now addressing its full potential. Although herbs are often perceived as “natural” and therefore safe, many safety issues and side effects have been reported owing to active ingredients, contaminants, or interactions with modern drugs. Before herbal-based products are commercialized, several processes/steps which are critical aspects of the development and marketing of product must be addressed. Thus, there is an urgent need to conduct experimental research to provide scientific evidence in terms of safety, efficacy and quality of herbal medicines. In addition the plants as sources for new lead structure for drug development especially the active compounds that are beneficial for human health requires further investigation.

Authors:   Politeknik Seberang Perai, Malaysia
Published: April 2021

In this research, study on mutual coupling of aperture coupled cylindrical DRA and its influence on return loss, radiation pattern including the directivity, gain and bandwidth was computed and illustrated. The DRA was excited by a micro strip line with aperture coupled slots where the slot locations were calculated using the characteristic of standing wave ratio over a short ended micro strips. Small dielectric resonator antenna was designed using high permittivity dielectric material with permittivity the substrate of 3.38. The diameter of the dielectric resonator is 12mm with the height of 4.2mm. The element spacing that been investigated for the effect of mutual coupling was at 0.5λ, 0.75λ and 1λ with maximum of four DRA been used. The final result shows the effect of mutual coupling is decreased with three DRA element with the gain measured at 5.948GHz frequency is about 8.619dB with high directivity measured at 11.4dBi. This shows that the proposed DRA with three 1λ spacing DRA elements exhibits an enhancement of the gain and directivity in comparison with a single pellet DRA. Hence, by increasing the level of isolation between the two identical DRAs to 1λ it actually helps electromagnetic interaction to attract and further increase the directivity and effective area.

The problem of constructing such a continuous function is called data fitting. Many times, data given only at discrete points. With interpolation, we seek a function that allows us to approximate f(x) such that functional values between the original data set values may be determined. The process of finding such a polynomial is called interpolation and one of the most important approaches used are Lagrange interpolating formula. In this study, researcher determining the polynomial interpolation by using Lagrange interpolating formula. Then, a mathematical modelling was built by using MATLAB programming to determine the polynomial interpolation for a given points using the Lagrange method. The result of the study showed that the manual calculating and the MATLAB mathematical modelling will give the same answer for evaluated x and graph.
