A Snapshot into Challenges of Policing Rural Zimbabwe
Authors: Mutongwizo Tariro
Published: October 2022

Policing and security in remote and rural areas are under-resourced and under-researched. The situation is amplified in developing nations such as Zimbabwe, where the most immediate form of local governance for rural dwellers is that of traditional, customary and informal institutions. This research note aims to further discuss policing rural areas in places like Zimbabwe, where patriarchal state structures are entangled with policing. The research note will rely on examples of the key challenges experienced in rural Zimbabwe and engage in a theoretical discussion that paints a picture of policing of the rural developing world. Discussions will centre around how the lack of access to police is exacerbated by distance and the nature of policing, which further excludes individuals based on political affiliation, gender, and poverty. Taking all this into consideration, police-community relations and engagement in rural Zimbabwe will be examined with the aim that the discussion leads to further research on how policing rural communities can better consider the security needs, vulnerabilities, and potential of these communities.

Published: October 2022

Rural crime and criminal justice practices and responses face different challenges from those experienced in urban contexts.
A practitioner-focused roundtable, convened by The International Society for the Study of Rural Crime (www.issrc.net), investigated challenges and innovations in international contexts on issues surrounding rural policing. The roundtable was held online on 20 October 2020 and was moderated by Dr Jessica Peterson, formerly of the University of Nebraska at Kearney (now an Assistant Professor at Southern Oregon University).
Panellists were asked to respond to two key questions:

What are the key challenges for rural policing?
What innovations are being deployed internationally to address these challenges?

The following are transcripts of the four presentations from the panelists on this Roundtable.
3D printing biocompatible materials with Multi Jet Fusion for bioreactor applications
Authors: Priyadarshini Balasankar Meera , Kok Wai Kay , Dikshit Vishwesh , Feng Shilun , Li King Ho Holden , Zhang Yi
Published: October 2022

In the evolving three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, the involvement of different materials in any new 3D printing process necessitates a thorough evaluation of the product’s biocompatibility for biomedical application. Here, we examined the ability of Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)-printed PA-12 to support cell proliferation and osteogenesis. Our results show that leachate from MJF-printed PA-12 does not inhibit the growth of L929 fibroblast and MC3T3e1 osteoblast. The substrate supports the attachment and proliferation of both cell types, though not at a level comparable to conventional polystyrene culture plate. Neither plasma treatment, poly-D-lysine, nor collagen coatings narrowed the gap substantially, suggesting the possible influence of other limiting factors. The substrate can also support MC3T3e1 osteogenesis. However, MJF-printed PA-12 exhibits varying ability in supporting the proliferation of different cell types, especially in subsequent passages. While L929’s proliferation is comparable from passage-to-passage, MC3T3e1’s growth ability is noticeably compromised. Interestingly, our results show that L929 subcultured back to polystyrene plate retains the ability to grow as robustly as those on the conventional plate, suggesting that MJF-printed PA-12 does not permanently impair cell proliferation. In addition, we have shown the successful culture of bacterial Escherichia coli on MJF-printed PA-12. Together, our study demonstrated the potential of MJF-printed PA-12 for biological applications.
Proteolytic activity of cosmetic enzyme peel products*
Authors: Bialkowski Karol
Published: October 2022

Our goal was to verify the proteolytic mode of action and activity levels among several commercial cosmetic facial peels advertised by manufacturers as “enzymatic”. Eleven enzyme peels were analyzed for their proteolytic activity against casein as a generic substrate and compared to the activity found in pineapple and papaya fruits. The highest specific protease activity was observed in the flesh of a pineapple (5.88 U/g). Only two products demonstrated sufficient activity (0.924 and 0.238 U/g) to be called “enzyme peels”. Three products showed trace activity (0.023–0.125 U/g), albeit too low to exert a significant exfoliating effect. Six preparations had no detectable enzyme activity.

Authors: GÜRER GİRAY Burcu , GÜVEN AÇIK Gökçe
Published: October 2022

Objectives: Reverse transcription and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) based on the SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA demonstration is the gold standard in diagnosis. Data files obtained from PCR devices should be analysed by a specialist physician and results should be transferred to Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). CAtenA Smart PCR (Ventura, Ankara, Türkiye) program is a local bioinformatics software that assess PCR data files with artificial intelligence, submits to expert approval and transfers the approved results to LIMS. The aim of this study is to investigate its accuracy and matching success rate with expert analysis.
Methods: A total of 9400 RT-qPCR test results studied in Ankara Provincial Health Directorate Public Health Molecular Diagnosis Laboratory were compared with respect to expert evaluation and CAtenA results.
Results: It was determined that the preliminary evaluation results of the CAtenA matched 86% of the negative and 90% of the positive results provided by expert analysis. 987 tests which CAtenA determined as inconclusive and suggested repeating PCR were found either negative or positive by expert analysis. A significant difference between positive and negative matching success rates and artificial intelligence (AI) based software overall accuracy was found and associated with the missed tests of the AI.
Conclusions: As a result, it was suggested there is a low risk of confirming false positive results without expert analysis and test repetitions would cause losing time along with extra test costs. It was agreed that the PCR analysis used in CAtenA should be improved particularly in terms of test repetitions.

Authors: Schafer David , Bobilya Andrew J. , Lawhon Ben , Faircloth W. Brad , Schultz Jeremy
Published: October 2022

Resource degradation is a chief concern related to increased recreational of U.S. public lands. The Seven Leave No Trace (LNT) Principles are used to educate visitors how to reduce recreational impacts. This study sought to understand Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM) hikers’ behavioral intent towards LNT practices. A quantitative questionnaire was used to measure participants’ behavioral intent towards LNT based on 4 predictor variables: attitudes of appropriateness, perceived effectiveness, perceived difficulty, and self-reported knowledge. 285 total questionnaires were completed. These results indicate that the predictor variables had varying levels of influence on hikers’ behavioral intent, with perceived effectiveness and difficulty being the most significant predictors. GRSM staff may be able to reduce hiker impact by focusing education on the effectiveness and ease of practice of LNT Principles. GRSM staff may also provide education that increases hikers’ understanding of impacts and emphasizes appropriateness of proper LNT behavior.

Authors: Rabinowitz Erik , Leonard Aaron Michael , Ewert Alan , Schwartz Forrest , Deringer S. Anthony
Published: October 2022

The COVID-19 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) pandemic has impacted much of society, including those organizations involved in the fields of outdoor adventure and experiential education (OAEE). This study examined the organizational characteristics held by a select group of OAEE organizations in an effort to identify practices associated with crisis resiliency as the OAEE fields transition to a Post-Vaccine Rollout (PVR) setting and beyond. Data for this study came from Phase 4 of a parent study examining the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on outdoor adventure education fields (OAEE) (Leonard et al., 2021). Data were collected via online survey using Qualtrics and examined at three points: 1) pre-pandemic; 2) pandemic; and 3) post-vaccine rollout (PVR). Both demographic and organizational resilience items were collected. Organizations were asked to grade themselves (A, B, C, D, E) on their levels of resilience during the three pandemic phases. From an initial sample of 860, 94 usable surveys were obtained for a 11 percent response rate. Overall, the organizations studied graded themselves as fairly effective in dealing with the pandemic. Moreover, the level of organizational resilience they reported started high (pre-pandemic), went down (during the pandemic), and rose during the post-vaccine rollout phase, but generally not to pre-pandemic levels. Dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic has provided an opportunity for OAEE organizations to examine their effectiveness and organization resilience. This examination and subsequent action will be useful for the next crisis that emerges for the field.

Authors: Turner Jeff , Jostad Jeremy , Bell Brent J. , Gerbers Kellie , Hobbs Will , Andre Elizabeth , Collins K.C.
Published: October 2022

Recent recognition of the growth and significance outdoor recreation industry indicates a need for outdoor-focused academic programs in higher education, yet broader trends affecting higher education may especially impact these programs. Our census methodology identified 128 undergraduate outdoor academic programs; more than previously identified in the literature. The most common higher education institutions to have an outdoor academic program are public, doctoral granting, and located in cities and in the southeast. However, those most likely to have an outdoor academic program are public and doctoral-granting, but are located in rural areas and the Rocky Mountain region. This research provides the foundation for future work which seeks to better understand the unique characteristics of these programs as well as to identify trends in program introduction and elimination.

Published: October 2022

U.S. military veterans attend college in increasing numbers, yet, often without a sense of attachment to their university. This mixed-methods exploratory study examined sense of belonging, happiness, and stress-coping outcomes for student veterans (N = 9) participating in a backpacking event. Results indicate the treatment group’s happiness level improved significantly over the control group, t(7) = 2.80, p = .027. Treatment group scores also improved on stress-coping, t(7) = 1.56, p = .163, and sense of belonging, t(7) = 2.28, p = .056; however, results were not statistically significant. The backpackers attributed increases in social belonging and happiness to the following elements of the trip: social support, stress coping, physical benefits, and camping skills. Although further quantitative research is indicated using larger and more diverse participant groups, findings from this study support the use of outdoor programming with veteran college students.

Assessing the effects of crop residue retention on soil health
Authors:   USDA-ARS, USA, Gollany Hero T.
Published: October 2022

Crop residues are the most accessible form of plant residues. Conventional agricultural cropping systems rely on synthetic fertilizer; however, these systems also require regular organic inputs from crop residue, root biomass, and rhizodeposition to maintain soil organic matter (SOM), improve soil nutrient cycling, soil microbial population, and soil fauna. Retaining crop residue on soils is very important for protecting soils from erosion and soil water loss, regulating soil temperature, maintaining SOM and associated soil organic C (SOC), enhancing water and solute transport, and ultimately soil health and land sustainability. Soil-related attributes and processes that determine healthy soil can be broadly grouped into chemical, physical, and biological processes. Soil organic C is one of the indicators of soil health parameters. The SOC losses have implications for the long-term sustainability and resiliency of agricultural production systems. This chapter will cover the effect of crop residue retention or removal on SOC and attributes of soil health.

Araştırmada eşzamanlı iç içe desene dayalı karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın nicel kısmında seçkisiz ön test son test kontrol gruplu desen, nitel kısmında ise durum çalışmasından yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma Bilim ve Sanat Merkezi’nde destek eğitimine gelen 21 gönüllü ortaokul öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın deney grubunda 10, kontrol grubunda 11 öğrenci yer almıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Uzamsal Yönelim Testi, Ortaokul Öğrencilerine Yönelik Girişimcilik Ölçeği ve Haftalık İlerleme Formu kullanılmıştır. Ek olarak her bir öğrencinin oyundaki kariyer ilerlemeleri ve profilleri her hafta uygulama sonunda fotoğraflanmıştır. Deney grubundaki öğrenciler Euro Truck Simulator 2 video oyununun 6 hafta boyunca oynamışlardır. Deneysel uygulama sonrasında deney ve kontrol grubunda yer alan üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin ön-test puanlarına göre son-test puanlarında istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşma olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca deney grubunun ön test ve son test puanları arasında da manidar bir farklılık olmadığı görülmüştür. Bu sonuç deney ve kontrol gruplarında gerçekleştirilen uygulamaların üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin mekânsal yönelim ve girişimcilik becerilerini manidar olarak farklılaştırmadığını göstermektedir. Nitel bulgular, üstün yetenekli çocukların daha çok kazandıkları parayı biriktirmeyi tercih ettiklerini, risk almadıklarını ve düşük riskli taşımalı ürünleri taşımayı tercih ettiklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu sonuçlar girişimcilik becerisinin en önemli göstergelerinden biri olan risk alma alt davranışının gösterilmediğini göstermektedir. Nicel bulguların nitel bulgularla desteklendiği görülmektedir. Üstün yetenekli öğrencilerin potansiyellerini daha iyi ortaya koyabilecekleri ve tekdüzelikten uzak gittikçe zorlaşan/karmaşıklaşan görevler içeren uygulamaların onların girişimcilik ve mekânsal becerileri üzerindeki etkisi incelenerek elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırılabilir.

Published: October 2022

Introduction. Syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a type of allogeneic stem cell transplantation when the donor of stem cells is a genetically identical (monozygotic) twin of the recipient. After this type of transplantation, there is no immunological conflict as the graft versus host disease, but at the same time, there is no positive effect of the graft-versus-leukemia effect. Aim: to assess the overall survival, event-free survival, probability of relapse, and transplant-related mortality rates associated with syngeneic stem cell transplantation. Patients and methods. In the National Research Center for Hematology from January 1988 to December 2018 we performed 654 allo-HSCT: 17 (2.5%) of them from a syngeneic donor. We performed a «paired analysis» with patients after allo-HSCT from a HLA-identical sibling donor. We included patients after allo-HSCT from an HLA-identical related donor (n = 28) in Group 1 and patients after syngeneic stem cell transplantation in group 2 (n = 14). Patients with aplastic anemia (n = 3) were excluded from the «paired analysis». Results. Patients after syngeneic stem cell transplantation did not develop a graft-versus-host disease. The relapse developed in 50% of cases (n = 7). Five patients (35.7%) died: 4 of them due to the relapse of the disease, and 1 - due to the graft failure. The relapse probability in patients after syngeneic HSCT was higher and amounted to 18.4% versus 54.2% (p = 0.047) for allo-HSCT from HLA-identical sibling donor and a syngeneic donor, respectively. Overall and event-free survival in patients after syngeneic HSCT is comparable to those in patients after allo-HSCT from an HLA-identical sibling donor. Conclusion. Syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is justified in the absence of another related or unrelated donor of hematopoietic stem cells. The use of myeloablative conditioning regimens, peripheral blood stem cells as a source of stem cells, or high doses of nucleated cells/kg in the case of using bone marrow will improve post-transplant parameters in patients after syngeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Considering the importance of perceived level of temptation on treatment programs in substance users and the role of cognitive aspects, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of sense of failure and alexithymia on perceived temptation. Materials and Methods: In this study, the effect of sense of failure and alexithymia on the perceived temptation in substance users in Saravan [south of IR. Iran] was investigated. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 270 addicts living in addiction treatment centers in Saravan in the first four months of 2018 were selected by convenience sampling method. The Defeat Scale, the Alexithymia Scale, and the Drug Perceived Temptation Questionnaire-20 were used to assess variables. SPSS software version 22, Pearson correlation test and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there is a relationship between inactivity, sense of loser and satisfaction with temptation [r = 0.32, 0.51, - 0.46]. There is also a significant relationship between alexithymia, difficulty in identifying emotions, difficulty in describing emotions and objective thinking with temptation [r = 0.60, 0.51, 0.48, 0.30]. Based on regression analysis, alexithymia [R2 = 0.37] and sense of failure [R2 = 0.32] can negatively predict temptation. Based on the results of the study, considering the sense of failure, alexithymia, and receiving appropriate care can play an important role in reducing perceived temptation.

There are still many young people who do not know Credit Union (CU) well, so they are reluctant to become CU members. This program aims to make the younger generation know CU more deeply so that the desire arises to join CU and plan their future well. This program uses an experiential learning approach in the form of a digital infographic competition. The result showed that the experiential learning method used in this program has a positive effect on participants' knowledge and attitude about CU. In addition, this program was also quite successful in attracting the interest and attention of Instagram social media users, as indicated by a large number of likes on the contestants' social media.

Published: October 2022

The processes of soliton generation and interference focus on the complex nonlinear soliton dynamics resembling matter particles. In order to further understand the dynamic process of solitons from a multidimensional perspective, here we report the vectorial solitons nature under two-sets pulse splitting in a single cavity induced by dual-core fiber assisted ultrafast fiber lasers. Owing to the weakly coupled cores in symmetrical dual core fiber (SDCF), two pulse groups interaction are formed in a cavity. By using the dispersive Fourier transformation technique (DFT), it was found that the four-component polarized rotation vector solitons (PRVS) generate. Moreover, gradually increasing the power can obtain the locked soliton bound state in two core space, and the corresponding evolution is similar to that of non-degenerate bright solitons in Bose Einstein condensates (BEC). In addition, by properly controlling the soliton phase offset in SDCF, the soliton rain state of multi pulse evolution can be obtained. The related experimental results would be fruitful to the communities interested in soliton dynamics and frequency comb lasers.
The relationship between language and neo-colonialism in the aid industry
Authors: Vitantonio Carla
Published: October 2022

Based both on research and on direct field experience, this article analyses the use of language as a tool of power within the aid industry. First, it underlines the deep relation between languages and cultures (or subcultures), then it presents historic examples on how language was purposefully used by colonisers to achieve dominance and, at times, to destroy pre-existing local practices. It then discusses more recent cases of language use by dominant groups, that stem from patriarchal and post-colonial relations. Finally, it analyses some of the practices related to language within the aid industry, showing how they mirror colonial and patriarchal beliefs, and suggests possible alternatives.
An exploratory study on the perception of procedural justice by police officers

Published: October 2022

In previous studies, research on police officers was limited because procedural justice was too dependent on citizens' perceptions and judgments. In addition, there is still a fundamental question about what factors influence police activities based on procedural justice.
Therefore, this study conducted an exploratory study to identify factors affecting procedural justice. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of violence victim experience and job satisfaction on the procedural justice of police officers. A survey was conducted by convenience sampling police officers from police stations across the country, and the collected data was empirically analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that only working period among the control variables had a positive effect on the quality of interpersonal treatment and decision making. In the case of minor physical victim among independent variables, it was found to have a positive effect on procedural justice, contrary to the research hypothesis. In addition, job satisfaction was found to be a variable that had a positive effect on the quality of interpersonal treatment and decision making.
Based on the analysis results, implications related to police activities based on procedural justice were presented.

Published: October 2022

After the millennium, the digitalization of society as a whole proceeded rapidly due to the fast change to a digital society, one of the major changes in correctional administration is the development of online civil service in response to the demands of the times. It can be said that Online Visitation is activated along with the high needs of deposit and Internet correspondence. In correctional administration, an visitation is an important correctional element that can bring positive effects to improve the treatment of prisoners and the correctional effect. However, although the demand for online visitation is increasing explosively due to the expansion of digital devices and the increase in needs, the system, manpower and space of the correctional facility are still showing various problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the remodeling methodology for improving the function of the online visitation room in current correctional facilities in Korea and to suggest alternatives for the practical remodeling method. The need for horizontal extension and the case for it should be integrated with this spatial structure in consideration when constructiong new buildings in the future. In the case of an existing correctional facility, there is a need to improve the spatial structure as an example of horizontal extension.

Background: We previously estimated the impact of introducing heat-not-burn products and e-cigarettes in Germany on smoking-related disease mortality in men and women aged 30–79 years between 1995 and 2015. Here, we estimate the impact by socioeconomic group.
Methods: Individuals with a defined baseline cigarette smoking distribution were followed under a “Null Scenario” (no reduced-risk products) and “Alternative Scenarios” (reduced-risk products introduced). Transition probabilities allowed estimation of annual product use changes, with individual product histories used to estimate reductions in deaths and life-years lost. Here, however, individuals were classified into two socioeconomic groups defined by income and education, with allowance for variation by group in initial smoking prevalence and the probability of changing product use, or of changing socioeconomic group.
Results: Deaths would have reduced by 217,000 (from 852,000 for continued smoking) had everyone immediately ceased smoking in 1995 and by 40,000 to 179,000 had one or two types of reduced-risk products - the heat-not-burn product and the e-cigarette - been adopted by smokers to varying extents. There were substantial drops in each socioeconomic group. Where all cigarette smokers switched immediately, half of them to Heat-not-Burn products, half to e-cigarettes, the estimated drops in deaths were 60,000 in group A (higher socioeconomic group) and 122,000 in group B (lower), about 82% of the drops associated with immediate cessation (73,000 in A and 148,000 in B). With more gradual conversion, the drops were 26,648 in A and 53,000 in B, about 35% of those from cessation. The drops in deaths and life-years saved were about 2 and 1.5 times higher in group B, respectively, associated with its greater numbers, older age, and higher smoking prevalence. The estimated reductions would increase upon considering more diseases, a wider age range, or longer follow-up. Methodological limitations would not affect the conclusion that introducing these products in 1995 in Germany could have substantially reduced deaths and life-years lost in both groups, more so in B.
Conclusions: Although cessation is optimal for reducing mortality, switching to reduced-risk products also provides substantial health gains. A public health approach encouraging lower socioeconomic group smokers to switch to reduced-risk products could diminish smoking-related health inequalities relative to continued smoking.
