Swiss human geographies lecture 2019 tourism troubles: feminist political ecologies of land and body in Panama
Authors: Mollett Sharlene
Published: September 2022

Abstract. On the Panamanian Caribbean coast and the Bocas del Toro Archipelago,
foreign direct investment via residential tourism development drives land
displacement. As land insecurities grow, particularly for local Indigenous
and Afro-Panamanian peoples, ongoing dispossession is not simply about land, but rather simultaneously about land, people and their bodies. In Bocas, foreign land enclosures are infused with imaginaries, which take for granted Black female servitude and Black landlessness. Such imaginaries seemingly lock economically “poor” Afro-Panamanian women into particular kinds of work. To illustrate, I entangle feminist political ecological assertions that struggles over nature are embodied struggles, with intersectional and relational understandings of land and body. To do so, I draw insights from postcolonial, decolonial and Black feminist critiques of coloniality and settler colonialism. Building from this literature, I seek to show how a logic of elimination operates within the legal geographies of residential tourism development. In doing so, I highlight the historical and contemporary ways in which Afro-Panamanian women are naturalized as criadas (maids), a process that accompanies land enclosure. Blending ethnographic and historical data collection, I seek to illuminate how Afro-Panamanian women's livelihood struggles reflect both their acquiescence to residential tourism development, and their resilience in the face of Bocas' anti-black patriarchal coloniality. Thus, I argue that Afro-Panamanian women's desires for inclusion and belonging in Bocas' tourism enclave – a project that seeks to eliminate Indigenous and Black relations to coastal lands and foster their embodied subjection to foreign nationals – simultaneously reflects their struggles for the right to remain on the coast.

Published: September 2022

Abstract. A novel combination of borehole temperature, borehole piezometer and cross-borehole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data are used to investigate changing ice-/water contents in the creeping ice-rich Schafberg rock glacier in the Eastern Swiss Alps. Instrumentation techniques and first results are presented. The rock glacier is close to its melting point and has locally heterogeneous stratigraphies, ice-/water contents and temperature regimes. The measurement techniques presented continuously monitor temporal and spatial phase changes to a depth of 12 m and should provide the basis for a better understanding of accelerating rock glacier kinematics and future water availability.

A Review on the Concept of Superfluity Mechanism in Solubility Enhancement
Authors: Handa Uditi , Malik Anuj , Kumar Guarve
Published: September 2022

Superfluity drug delivery system (SFDDS) is an auspicious conception to obtain adequate oral bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs especially those drugs which are belongs to Biopharmaceutical Classification System II. The drug is in the form of high energy or otherwise swiftly dissolving form such that generated the drug in intraluminal concentrations above the saturation solubility which is liable for desired pharmacological response to the systemic circulation due to superfluity mechanism. The mechanism is based upon spring-parachute and hang-glider effect which involves the inhibition of nucleation with the help of precipitation inhibitors which will act as parachute and glider effect in superfluity formulations and the spring and hang will act as technology used to formulated the dosage form such as amorphous solid dispersion, co-crystals, supersaturated self-emulsifying drug-delivery system correlating to want the biological response is inadequate in the aqueous solubility of drug encountered with formulation development of new drug and existing drug as well as for the new formulation development of existing drug. The methods related to solubilization process are not necessarily improving the absorption in GIT i.e., the free fraction of drug molecules in the inter-micellar phase is limited at the time of dissolution process of the intestinal barrier. This review articles belongs to mechanism of superfluity strategy which overcomes many of the obstacles and limitations of solubilization methods especially very poorly water-soluble drug.

Authors: Tomar Anita , Sharma Ritu
Published: September 2022

The aim of this article is to introduce the notion of almost $\alpha$-Hardy-Rogers-$F$-contractions in the partial metric space and utilize it to establish the existence of a unique fixed point. Some examples are given to demonstrate the validity of our main result. Our results generalize classical and newer results in the literature. As an application, we solve the initial value problem of damped harmonic oscillator and a nonlinear fractional differential equation satisfying periodic boundary conditions, which demonstrates the importance of our contraction and provides motivation for such investigations.

No association between body height and metabolic risk factors in historically short height Asian Indian tribes
Authors: Dorjee Binu , Sen Jaydip , Das Mithun , Bose Kaushik , Scheffler Christiane , Kshatriya Gautam Kumar
Published: September 2022

Background: Asian Indians often get predisposed to non-communicable diseases for which the “thin-fat” or “hidden obese” Indian phenotype is usually regarded responsible. In Europe, America and in some low-middle-income countries (LMICs) short height is often associated with a high risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Indians and particularly tribal Indian people are relatively short.

Aim: To assess the associations of height with MetS risk factors among tribal people of India.

Sample and methods: This study was conducted among tribes of India under life-style transition. The height range was 163.2 cm to 156.5 cm (males) and 151.6 cm to 146.9 cm (females). The participants were 1066 men and 1090 women aged 20 to 60 years. Anthropometric and metabolic markers included in the study were height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), skinfolds (biceps, triceps, sub-scapular, and supra-iliacal), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate (PR).

Results: The highest correlation existed between height and WC (male: 0.21; female: 0.15). Correlations of body composition variables (BMI, WC, skinfolds) with MetS risk factors (FBG, SBP, DBP, PR) were not reliable (r < 0.30) among both sexes. St. Nicolas House Analysis revealed WC among males and WC and sub-scapular skinfolds among females sharing more connections with other nodes variables.

Conclusions: Unlike the people of the wealthy and often obese social strata of low-middle-income countries, and in Europe and North America, height of tribal Indian populations is not associated with metabolic risk factors, such as hypertension, elevated fasting blood sugar, and central obesity. Rather than linked to the phenotype, obesity appears to be associated with an obesogenic environment. Public health policy should focus on problems associated with obesogenic environments.
Does Grade Point Average Matter for Matriculation into Postsecondary Education?
Authors: Morris Tabu
Published: September 2022

Does a student’s high school grade point average (HSGPA) of 2.5 or greater determine or predict a successful post-secondary enrollment? For this research, historical data from the 2015-2021 cohorts of Upward Bound Catonsville (UBC) scholars were retrieved from the UBC Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) Blumen Database report. To ensure our scholars maintain a 2.5 or better HSGPA, UBC uses several methodologies to monitor and intervene if necessary to ensure that the benchmark is being upheld including monthly check-ins with assigned program coordinators, Tutor.com, and virtual tutoring with faculty. An all-hands-on-deck approach is put into play if a student slips below a 2.5 HSGPA; they are then assigned to meet with the program director until their HSGPA exceeds 2.5 HSGPA. These approaches are a combined methodology that somewhat mimics the graded response model (GRM) and hybrid data analytics (HDA). The qualitative and quantitative data show that HSGPA matters for UBC scholars with successful enrollment into post-secondary education. It is not the only thing universities or colleges use; however, it levels the playing field. The research shows that a 2.5 or higher HSGPA is recommended to enroll in post-secondary education and speaks to many characteristics of an individual’s work ethic. When comparing CCBC average HSGPA of all freshmen students and all transfer students who enter the fall semesters, the UBC graduates’ HSGPA is around 0.50 basis points higher. Post-secondary attainment helps lower unemployment ratios, improve quality of life, and reduce systemic poverty. If we want to solve some of America’s labor ills, the findings support and suggest starting with getting a student’s HSGPA to 2.5 or greater.

Published: September 2022

To eradicate the disease the drugs play a vital role in the treatment management. The Dravya or the drug placed in second prime important place in the Chikitsa Chatushpada (Four limbs of treatment) in Ayurveda viz; Bhishak (Physician), Aushadha (Drug), Upasthata or Paricharaka (Nurse or attender), Rogi (Patient). There are four branches of Dravya as per Ayurvedic classics. Viz; Nama Rupa Jnana (Pharmacognosy), Guna Karma (Pharmacology), Prayoga Jnana (Pharmacotherapeutics), Sanyoga Jnana (Pharmacy). According to Charaka Samhita the Guna (Properties) and Karma (Actions) are present in inseparable relationship called Samavayi Karana. All the drugs in the universe are made up of five proto elements. These proto elements called as Panchamahabhuta. The drug is made up of five factors are called as Karana Dravyas. These are nine in number. Viz; Akasha (Sky element), Vayu (Air element), Teja (Fire element), Prithwi (Earth element), Jala (Water element), Mana (Mind factor), Kala (Time factor), Disha (Direction), and Atma (Soul factor) factors. According to Rasa Vaisheshika (One of the Indian alchemy book) the drugs contain Rasa (Taste), Guna (Qualities), Virya (Active potency), Vipaka (Post digestive effect), Prabhava (Specific effects) five factors. Most of the time the drug is administered in an empty stomach to achieve the larger amount of absorption. But in some cases like Asthama, Hikka (Hiccough), Atisara (Diarrhea), Trishna (Excessive thirst), the drug should be administered on and often to achieve desired effects. There are 11 types of time of administration is mentioned. Viz; Abhakta (Empty stomach), Pragbhakta (Before meal), Madhyabhakta (During meal), Adhobhakta (After meal), Samabhakta (With food), Antarbhakta (Between two meal), Samudga (Before and after meals), Muhurmuhu (On and often), Sagrasa (Mith first morsel of food), Grasantara (Between morsels), Nisha (Bed time). The present work is dealt with the detail information about the drug, the drugs acting on various body systems and the some of the drugs with its classification based on various Ayurvedic texts.

Published: September 2022

Hesaplamalı tasarım araçları geliştikçe, üretken sistemlerin mimarlıktaki kullanımları giderek artmış, problem çözme aşamasında tasarımcıya sunduğu destek sayesinde mimarlığı beslemiştir. Çalışmanın temel konusu olan kinetik yapı tasarımı; hem hesaplamalı tasarım araçlarını, hem de biyolojik süreçleri mimari üretim sürecine dahil etmeye çalışmıştır. Elbette, tasarım düşünmesinde hesaplamalı tasarım araçları oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmada hesaplamalı tasarım araçları tasarıma katkı sağlayan bir düşünme yöntemi olarak bilgisayar araçlarının desteği ile karışık simülasyonlar oluşturmuş ve hesaplama sistemleri, insan tasarımcının düşüncesinin ötesinde komplekslikler sunarak tasarım sürecini beslemiştir. Tasarım sürecinin kuramsal alt yapısı ise çokluktan çoğulluğa geçiş üzerinden yapılmıştır. Çalışmada çoklukla kastedilen benzer mekânsal birimlerin benzer topolojik ilişkilerini koruyarak benzer mekânsallıklar üretmesi noktası aynı birim elemanların birbirleriyle kurdukları topolojik ilişkili çeşitlendirerek mekân üretimini farklılaştırmak ve süreci sadece kütleler üzerinde oynayarak değil, aynı zamanda boşlukları da tasarlayarak çoğulluğa geçilebilmesi sağlanmıştır. Çalışma üç aşamadan oluşmaktadır. İlk aşamada vaka analizi için seçilen alanın modellemesi yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada Ladybug’tan toplanan verilerin ışığında genetik algoritmalar yardımıyla birim elemanları hareket ettirerek yeni form önerisi getirilmiştir. Üçüncü aşamada ise önerilen yapı üzerindeki en fazla çevresel etkiye maruz kalan birim elemanlar kendi içerilerinde de daha küçük parçalara ayrılmış, bu parçalar özelinde yaz aylarında güneşin geldiği yöne doğru yüzey alanını azaltmaya çalışarak çok daha az ısınan, rüzgârın geldiği yöne doğru yüzey alanını arttırmaya çalışarak daha verimli havalandırabilecek bir kinetik sistem önerilmiştir. Kış aylarında da bunun tam tersini yapmaya çalışarak güneş ışığından gün içerisinde maksimum verimi almaya çalışırken rüzgârdan olabildiğince kaçınmaya gayret gösterecektir. Üretilen yapı formasyonu, enerji tüketimi azaltarak ve çevresel faktörlerle uyum içinde çalışarak bulunduğu çevreyle uyumlu ve sürekli dönüşüm potansiyelini içerisinde barındırması yönüyle de yaşayan bir organizmaya benzer şekilde davranır. Çalışmada sunulan yöntemin ve kapsamın kolay erişilebilir olması ve temel bir sorun üzerine odaklanması, önerilen sistemin mevcut durumla üretilen durumun karşılaştırılarak tasarım stüdyolarına kolay uygulanabilecek hesaplamalı tasarım düşüncesini tanıtmanın yanı sıra, önerilen sistemin pratikteki kullanımını göstermesi açısından önemli bulunmuştur.

Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an occlusion of the central retinal artery that causes a disruption of blood flow to the retina and may result in retinal ischemia. According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), CRAO is a type of acute ischemic stroke. There is some variation in CRAO management. Determining the most effective therapy remains challenging. We report a male, 58th-years-old, with sudden vision loss in the right eye for 4 hours of onset upon arrival at the Emergency Department. Patient aware, with hypertensive crisis, the right eye visual acuity was 1/300. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) revealed multiple small vessel ischemic in the cortical-subcortical area. The patient was hospitalized and received ocular massage, antiplatelet, antihypertensive, and lipid-lowering therapy. Visual acuity in the right eye was minimally improved at discharge. CRAO is a form of stroke in the retina and may occur concurrently or progress into cerebral ischemia. Treatment with intravenous thrombolysis may be effective within 4.5 hours of onset. Ensuring the patient arrives at the emergency department and confirming the diagnosis of CRAO in this narrow time is still challenging.

Resultados: El 76% tenía conocimiento sobre métodos anticonceptivos, el 24% no. El 65% usaba un método anticonceptivo y 35% preferia que la mujer lo usara. Entre los que prefirieron el uso de métodos anticonceptivos, 59% usaba el condón y 41% el coito interrumpi- do. Entre los que no usaban métodos (35%), 27% es porque sus parejas no le solicitan utilizarlo, 20% no les gusta, 15% no les interesa, 10% no es para hombres, 28% no tiene tiempo. Conclusiones: más de tres cuartas partes de los entrevistados tienen conocimiento sobre los métodos anticon- ceptivos, pero de estos solo el 65% lo practica utilizando el condón y coito interrumpido que tienen menos porcentajes de éxito. En síntesis, se refleja que la mayoría de hombres no participan de manera recíproca con la mujer en evitar un embarazo no planificado.

Authors: Brito Filho José Claudio Monteiro de , Koury Suzy Elizabeth Cavalcante , Nascimento Juliana Oliveira Eiró do
Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se e de que maneira a exploração, pela iniciativa privada, do labor dos presos poderia caracterizar a prática desleal de concorrência de mercado denominada de dumping social. Para tanto, a investigação explana sobre o trabalho dos sujeitos submetidos à medida restritiva de liberdade e a sua exploração pela iniciativa privada, discute a respeito do dumping social e, por fim, averigua a provável relação entre a exploração da mão de obra carcerária pela iniciativa privada e a prática de concorrência desleal no mercado. Nesse cenário, a pesquisa conclui que, quando a empresa se instala no cárcere com a finalidade de reduzir custos e aumentar a margem de lucro mediante subtração de direitos mínimos garantidores de dignidade no campo sociolaborativo, consuma-se uma espécie de dumping social. Tal prática resulta em severos danos sociais e econômicos, devendo ser abolida, de modo que o uso da mão de obra encarcerada seja pautado na responsabilidade social, dignificando e ressocializando o apenado. A pesquisa é substancialmente básica e exploratória teórica, utilizando-se do método hipotético-dedutivo, com análise documental e bibliográfica e abordagem qualitativa do tema.

TRADE LIBERALIZATION AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC VULNERABILITY: A CROSS COUNTRY ANALYSIS ON THE SHRIMP SECTOR
Authors: Moni Nurun Naher , Masud Md. Mahedi Al , Hossen Sk. Sharafat
Published: September 2022

This study attempts to capture the impact of trade liberalization on the shrimp sector of three countries, namely Bangladesh, India and Vietnam. By analyzing the country specific studies from these three countries, the study found that trade liberalization in the shrimp sector of these countries increases export earnings and creates gainful employment opportunity, especially for women. In spite of these positive impacts, the study finds that shrimp sector has been expanded at the cost of agricultural land, which increases household’s vulnerability through replacement of subsistence farming by commercial aquaculture and reduced livelihood options. Increasing income gap reduces the ability of the poor to fight against risk and consumption volatility. By analyzing the comparable elements among three countries, this study reaches to the conclusion that structural shift from crop farming to shrimp farming in the respective areas affect the determinants of poverty, which can be explained for defining the status of vulnerability of the households. This study is important in case of providing a comparable base line for assessing the impact of trade liberalization of the respective countries. This might be an important insight to the policy makers while assessing the impact on the shrimp sector at the household level.

Published: September 2022

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges in getting access to finance form banks and other financial institutions. This study tries to trace out such challenges faced by the SMEs of Khulna city in Bangladesh. The study follows stratified random sampling technique to select 60 interview respondents in the city. The study findings indicate that high rate of interest, longer loan processing time and complex security requirements are the three prime obstacles faced by the SMEs in getting access to finance. These obstacles hinder the development of SME sector. This study also tries to trace out the influence of credit on performance of SMEs through running multiple linear regressions. Profit and sales are considered for measuring performance of SMEs. The regression results indicate that firm size and credit have statistically significant positive influence on profit and sales of the SMEs. The firms having larger amount of credit are enjoying more profit and sales compared with those having smaller amount of credit. Hence, this study recommends for removing obstacles faced by the SMEs in getting access to finance. More specifically, this study recommends for decreasing interest rate, reducing loan processing time and simplifying security requirements for getting loan by the SMEs from banks or other financial institutions. Such initiatives will contribute to simplify the process of getting access to finance for the SMEs which will ultimately help to improve performance through boasting sales and profit.
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION PATTERN OF UNION PARISHAD : A STUDY ON KHULNA DISTRICT, SOUTHWEST BANGLADESH
Authors: Mohsin Kaniz Fatima
Published: September 2022

Financial autonomy largely depends on the revenue generation capacity which is so limited for the government in the developing world. Limited formal employment source, dominance of a large informal sector makes it harder for the government to generate revenue to mitigate the administrative cost and finance the development works. The scenario is even worse in case of the local government body who are accountable for the development of the locality, the root level administrative body of the government. The study focused on the revenue mobilization pattern of eleven randomly selected Union Parishad (UP) in the southern part of Bangladesh. The study is secondary data based. Annual budgetary periodicals published by the UPs has been used as the data source and FGD with the chairman and members had been arranged. To analyze the resource mobilization pattern, first the revenue sources have been analyzed then the expenses under different heads has been analyzed. Non tax revenue is dominating over tax revenue under internal revenue source whereas all the sampled UPs largely depends on the centre to mitigate their expenditure. The allocation varies considerably among the UPs and the sector preference also prevails in sectoral allocation of different development projects undertaken by the UPs. In order to achieve financial autonomy and an efficient resource mobilization capacity, UPs of the region have to expand and extend the tax base.

Research progress on the influence of geopolymer grouting material properties
Authors: Yang Jie
Published: September 2022

Grouting technology is to inject slurry with cementing ability into the cracks and voids of the formation to achieve the purpose of reinforcement and filling. At present, cement-based materials are mainly used for grouting, which has the advantages of mature technology, cheap price, high stone strength and wide application, but there are also defects such as high-water separation rate, poor stability and long setting time. Most importantly, the production of cement materials consumes a lot of energy and emits a lot of CO2, which aggravates the global greenhouse effect and is not in line with the concept of sustainable development. In recent years, geopolymer materials based on volcanic ash and industrial waste residue have attracted extensive attention of scholars because of their green and environmental characteristics, and have been gradually applied in the field of grouting. Geopolymer is a new inorganic cementitious material formed by leaching the active components (Si, Al, and other elements) from industrial wastes such as fly ash, slag, and steel slag using chemical alkali activation technology (AAT) and further recombination. Using geopolymer as grouting material has two advantages :(1) geopolymer has a wide source of raw materials and low cost, which can effectively reduce the cost of grouting engineering; (2) Compared with cement materials, geopolymer materials have the advantages of low energy consumption, green environmental protection and other advantages, which can realize the effective recovery and reuse of industrial waste residue, reduce a large amount of CO2 emissions, and have far-reaching environmental and social benefits. Among them, temperature is an important factor affecting the properties of geopolymer grouting cementitious materials. In this paper, the effects of the selection of aluminosilicate raw materials, the fineness of raw materials, the ratio of liquid to solid, the type and modulus of alkali activator, and the temperature conditions on the properties of geopolymer grouting cementitious materials are comprehensively combed.
