Ownership illusions: When ownership really matters for economic analysis
Authors: Murray Cameron , Helm Tim
Published: November 2022

A common unit of economic analysis is the firm. Firms are assumed to maximise profits, subject to the well-recognised caveat that incentives of owners and managers can differ. Less well recognised is how ownership structures themselves affect incentives, behaviour and economic outcomes. With the wrong assumptions about ownership and when it matters, economic analysis can misrepresent economic reality. Such situations we refer to as ownership illusions.We show how attention to ownership structures can change subsequent economic analysis through four examples of ownership illusions. In competition policy, the incentives of firms are blurred by cross-ownership, leading to questions around the validity of default models and exactly how the incentive-driven process of competition is to be understood. When assessing the economic performance of privately or government owned businesses, the capital value of ownership is often ignored when in public ownership but is a primary metric of success when in private ownership. Retirement income systems reliant on individual ownership of financial assets are often inaccurately described as “pre-funded”, by way of contrast with pay-as-you-go or “unfunded” public pensions, regardless of differences in underlying capacity to support cashflows but simply because there exist no priced ownership rights for future pensions. In housing policy, the idea that competition between landowners can push down land prices reflects incentives from product market models where ownership dispersion matters, not those from the “location franchise” model of monopoly that land involves in reality. Identifying this class of problems in economic reasoning can help refine our economic understanding and foster more consistency in future analysis.

Un aspecto crucial en la evolución del hombre lo constituyó el aprender a curar sus enfermedades a partir de lo que le proporcionaba la naturaleza; dentro de esos elementos se destacan predominantemente los vegetales. Así, el uso de las plantas ha sido un contribuyente importante al desarrollo de la farmacoterapia moderna. Debido a las condiciones físicas y químicas del ambiente marino, casi la totalidad de los organismos que habitan los mares exhiben una variedad de moléculas con cualidades estructurales y químicas únicas, producto del desarrollo de mecanismos bioquímicos y fisiológicos, que incluyen la producción de compuestos bioactivos para propósitos tales como la reproducción,  comunicación, protección contra depredación, infecciones y competencia [4].
El uso de organismos marinos, y en especial las algas, para la producción de cosméticos se encuentra en auge en muchos países. Existe una gran variedad de productos cosméticos a nivel mundial, por la evidencia de las propiedades beneficiosas de las algas como promotores de la síntesis de fibras colágenas, antioxidantes, antiirritantes [6].
Específicamente, el extracto obtenido a partir de la angiosperma Thalassia testudinum denominado BM-21, ha sido el más estudiado y plantea un gran interés por su acción dermorregeneradora y potente capacidad antioxidante. Actualmente, las condiciones de obtención del extracto son: relación de material vegetal-volumen de disolvente 1:10, disolvente etanol al 50 %, temperatura de extracción 60 °C, tiempo de extracción 4 h.
Si bien el BM-21 como materia prima ha resultado excelente por sus propiedades, desde el punto de vista tecnológico se necesita mejorar la etapa de extracción del proceso de producción con el objetivo de lograr una mayor extracción del producto en el menor tiempo posible.
Efecto de la temperatura en la cristalización de películas de perovskita-ch3 nh3 pbi3 -xclx
Authors: Cabrera Daniel
Published: November 2022

In the present manuscript, the effect of temperature on crystallisation of perovskite thin films (CH3NH3PbI3-xClx) was analysed (perovskite films are utilized to produce perovskite-based solar cells that appear to be devices with lower production costs and higher efficiency than silicon-based solar cells). To synthesise the perovskite films, four samples with precursor solution were spin coated for 45 s at 2000 rpm. After that, the samples were annealed at three different temperatures. Likewise, samples were characterised by UV/Vis Spectroscopy, Emission Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Microscopy, and ImageJ software were used to analyse crystal size. It was found that the sample annealed at 80 oC presented the highest fluorescence emission with 49539.09 CPS and the best particle size distribution. Band Gap Energy (Eg) was also calculated resulting in 1.60 ± 0.01 eV (An ideal solar cell has a band gap of 1.4 eV to absorb the maximum number of photons from the solar radiation).

Metalodendrymers are very important compounds in the area of catalysis. In the present study, dendritic nickel organometalic compounds with N-heterocyclic carbene ligands are synthesized, using Frechét-type poly (aryl ether) dendrons. The prepared compounds were used to apply them in catalytic processes such as the Suzuki reaction for C-C couplings. The present study proposes the structural analysis of the compounds by spectroscopic and crystalographic techniques, as well as the performance of this type of catalyst in the Suzuki coupling reaction followed by chromatographic techniques, it was concluded that dendritic nickel organometallic compounds with ligands N-heterocyclic carbene are obtained with yields greater than 80%, they present cis-trans isomerism, according to the relative position of the ligands in the square-plane environment of nickel, as well as the syn-anti isomerism due to the slow rotation around to the Ni-C axis and the position of the mesityls located on both carben ligands or on opposite sides of the complex plane. The activity of the catalyst in the Suzuki coupling reaction decreases in the second cycle, despite this it reaches a conversion of 72% in 120 minutes.

Background With increasing age, the older population becomes more susceptible to mental disorders. It is important to recognize and develop an understanding of psychiatric morbidity particularly among the residents of geriatric homes in resource-poor settings.

Objective To assess the prevalence and associated factors of dementia symptoms among Nepalese senior citizens living in geriatric homes of Kathmandu valley.

Method A cross-sectional study was conducted among 304 senior citizens living in geriatric homes of Kathmandu valley. Cognitive Impairment Test (CIT), was used to assess dementia symptoms. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed. All the variables that were significant at p < 0.05 level in the bivariate analysis were included in the multivariate regression model and statistical significance was declared at p < 0.05 with a 95.00% confidence interval (CI).

Result This study showed 75.65%, of the participants, had dementia symptoms. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, female respondents (AOR=2.94, 95% CI=1.31-6.57), respondents never received geriatric allowances (AOR=2.46, 95% CI=1.22-4.98), respondent’s history of alcohol consumption habits (AOR=2.04, 95% CI=1.01-4.11) and non-vegetarian diet habits (AOR= 2.31, 95% CI=1.12-4.76) were found more likely to had higher dementia symptoms whereas, literate participants (AOR=0.19, 95% CI=0.08-0.43) were less likely to had dementia symptoms.

Conclusion The high prevalence of dementia symptoms among senior citizens living in geriatric homes in the Kathmandu valley indicates an urgent need for early diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders among senior citizens to improve their quality of life and well-being.

Published: November 2022

Background Enhanced recovery after surgery is a multimodal strategy, used to attenuate the loss and improve the restoration of functional capacity after surgery. Now widely used in elective surgery, the implementation of all of its components is not feasible in emergency surgery. Therefore, its tailored protocol is likely to give better outcome.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery in emergency surgery for Duodenal Ulcer Perforation.

Method Hospital based study conducted at Nepalgunj Medical College, Kohalpur from September 2018 to 2020. Hundred patients underwent emergency laparotomy with Classical Graham’s Patch Repair. Fifty patients in the enhanced recovery after surgery group were managed as per the protocol and the rest were managed conventionally. Both the groups were compared in terms of length of hospital stay, functional recovery parameters and complications.

Result There were 48 (96%) males and 2 (4%) females in enhanced recovery after surgery group and 45 (90%) males and 5 (10%) females in non-enhanced recovery after surgery group. The mean length of hospital stay in enhanced recovery after surgery group was 4.9 ± 0.76 days together with early functional recovery compared to 9.06 ± 2.44 days in non-enhanced recovery after surgery group (p < 0.05). Complications as per Clavien-Dindo grading were more in the non- enhanced recovery after surgery group (p=0.03).

Conclusion Enhanced recovery after surgery is feasible and effective strategy resulting in early recovery, reduced hospital stay and complications in patients undergoing emergency surgery for duodenal ulcer perforation.

DIACHRONIC AND SYNCHRONIC ANALYSIS OF LEXICOGRAPHIC PROCESSES OF MINORITY LANGUAGES IN SCOTLAND: A CONTRASTIVE APPROACH
Authors: Lemeshchenko-Lagoda Viktoriia V.
Published: November 2022

The paper offers a diachronic and synchronic analysis of the lexicographic processes of the minority languages in Scotland – Scottish Gaelic and Scots. For the first time, three periods (period of glossaries, historical period, modern “educational” period) of the Scottish Gaelic lexicography, and four periods (period of glossaries, pre-scientific period and dialectological period, historical period and scientific period) of еру Scots lexicography were outlined. The author discusses the diachronic and synchronic analysis of lexicographic sources, singles out common and divergent features of both lexicographic processes development, as well as the basic principles and approaches to compiling dictionaries. For the Scottish-Gaelic lexicography, it is absolutely untypical to compile dictionaries of dialectal words; to interpret the Gaelic language as a dialect of Irish, in contrast to the Scots, which for a long period of its development was perceived as a dialect of English, which prompted the lexicographers to compile dictionaries of dialectal vocabulary. A significant advantage of Scottish Gaelic dictionaries lies in the fact that English-Gaelic dictionaries appeared decades earlier in comparison with similar editions in the Scots language. Despite the fact that Scottish Gaelic is the official language of Scotland, Scottish Gaelic lexicography, compared to the Scots one, is significantly inferior both in the number of published dictionaries and in the quality of their content (macro- and microstructure). Both lexicographic processes are characterized by the lack of monolingual dictionaries. All publications are bilingual (translated into English, or from English, rarely in other languages).
EXTRALINGUISTIC FEATURES OF THE MACROSTRUCTURE IN ENGLISH LINGUISTIC DICTIONARIES
Authors: Kaliberda Oksana O.
Published: November 2022

The lexicographic practice of the past and present, the theoretical foundations of lexicographic science determine a fairly wide range of problems in contemporary linguistics that require their solution. One of the controversial issues is the opposition of encyclopaedic and linguistic dictionaries. In the theory linguistic and encyclopaedic dichotomy has rather clearly defined boundaries, but in practice it turns out to be quite difficult to establish where the definition of a word ends and the description of the concept that this word conveys begins. A number of researchers adhere to the opinion that modern English linguistic lexicography is characterised by the process of integration with encyclopaedic lexicography. And nowadays we witness the emergence of hybrid dictionaries which attempt to incorporate both types of information (linguistic and encyclopaedic) in their structure. This paper presents a study of English linguistic dictionary macrostructure with a particular emphasis on encyclopaedic component. It investigates how elements of encyclopaedic nature are interlaced with linguistic elements on the level of dictionary macrostructure. The obtained results show that the average rate of encyclopaedization at the level of the macrostructure of the English dictionaries reaches about 13% of the total. The analysis of the macrostructure revealed that the fundamental difference between linguistic and encyclopaedic dictionaries is in the methods of headwords selection. The macrostructure of the encyclopaedic dictionary is limited by its register as it does not include such parts of speech as adjectives, numerals, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, prepositions and conjunctions. Linguistic dictionary in opposition to encyclopaedic dictionary registers all parts of speech in its macrostructure. The results show that English linguistic lexicography tends to register both linguistic and encyclopaedic headwords in its macrostructure.
ENGLISH PREDICATIVE CONSTRUCTIONS: STRUCTURE AND TYPES
Authors: Lemish Nataliya Ye. , Kravtsova Yuliia V. , Tolcheyeva Tetiana S.
Published: November 2022

This paper deals with the typology of predicative constructions in the English language based on their structure. It provides a theoretical overview of the existing standpoints as for the above mentioned language phenomenon, specifying the structure of the English predicative constructions, and determining their types. Any predicative construction consists of two parts – nominal + verbal. Between the two parts of the predicative construction there is a secondary predicative relation, i.e. the relation similar to that as the subject and the predicate have. The predicative construction may be used only when there are two different doers of the actions in the sentence. As soon as there are three types of verbals in English (the Infinitive, the Gerund, and the Participle), it is only logical to identify infinitival, gerundial, and participial predicative constructions: there is no predicative construction without a verbal, and then the name of the construction indicates the type of the verbal used in it. As a result of the study eleven types of predicative constructions were defined, namely: two gerundial types (Gerundial and Half-Gerundial), three infinitival types (Objective Infinitive, Subjective Infinitive, and For-to-Infinitive), six participial types (Objective Participial, Subjective Participial, Nominative Absolute Participial, Prepositional Absolute Participial, and two purely absolute constructions where there is no explicit verbal constituent but it is implied and can be easily restored – Nominative Absolute (Participial) and Prepositional Absolute (Participial)). The paper is believed to be of practical use for future translators / interpreters and English-language teachers, for it gives both an overall idea of a predicative construction as of an English language economy means and syntactic functions of all predicative constructions in the sentence.

Digital contents are incrementing at an exceptional pace. The world has never been the same again since the explosion of the Internet gateway. People accessing and creating information at every corner of the world. The jobs that usually reserved to a technical person called ‘webmaster’ are no longer own that privileged. Anyone at any part of the world may create new content with just a single click. These inabilities of the organization to efficiently manage their digital content has led to the exploration of a new field in Information System (IS) research. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the strategies, tools, process and skills that enable the organization to manage their digital contents throughout its entire lifecycle. With the new challenges of cloud computing and big data, academics and practitioners argue about the relevancies of this field to sustain its existence for further studies. Is ECM a worthy discipline for further research? By answering this question, this paper aims to revitalizing and introduce new ideas to the ECM researchers and analysing the current state of ECM literature.

Camel is a heat resistant animal reared in desert and hot areas for meat, milk production and for draught purpose. In past camels has been used as major source for commercial transportation. Beside the other districts of Balochistan of Pakistan, Lasbela district has a reasonable population of camels consisting 2.4% of the total livestock population. The prominent camel breeds are Lasi and Makrani with an emerging new hybrid (Dati) of both the known breeds. Microsatellite markers have widely been used to characterize the genetic diversification among the camel breeds. Current study performed on 45 samples from the 3 breeds of the district. Genomic DNA was extracted, amplified by using specific primers for VOLP10 microsatellite marker. The sequencing results revealed >30 dimer GT repeats with a break of a dimer (TT) and in 5 samples the GT repeats were found continuously in heterozygous condition. Results of the current study suggest that microsatellite markers can have a better use for genetic characterization among different breeds.

Authors: Javed Fatima , Ahmad Mahira , Nasar Iqbal Muhammad
Published: November 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common, complex reproductive syndrome characterized by menstrualirregularities, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. This study aimed to determine the role of resilience and emotional regulation and marital satisfaction in females diagnosed with the polycystic ovarian syndrome. Further, it investigated the predictors of marital satisfaction. 100 females were selected through purposive sampling from different clinics and hospitals in Lahore. State Resilience Scale, Emotional Regulation Questionnaire, and Relationship Assessment Scale were administered. Resilience and emotional regulation subscales i.e. cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression showed a significant positive correlation with marital satisfaction. Regression analysis indicated resilience and cognitive reappraisal were significant positive predictors of marital satisfaction. T-test analysis results of group difference showed that cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression were high in participants who do not have acne symptoms. Resilience and marital satisfaction were high in females who do not have irregularity in their menstruation cycle whereas expressive suppression was high in females who have irregularity in the menstruation cycle. This study will help to understand the PCOS problem as a matter of female health which requires attention and care to decrease the social, physical, and emotional problems arising from it.
Rib fixation for flail chest physiology and the facilitation of safe prone spinal surgery: illustrative case
Authors: Wessell Jeffrey E. , Pereira Matheus P. , Eriksson Evert A. , Kalhorn Stephen P.
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

Spine fractures are frequently associated with additional injuries in the trauma setting, with chest wall trauma being particularly common. Limited literature exists on the management of flail chest physiology with concurrent unstable spinal injury. The authors present a case in which flail chest physiology precluded safe prone surgery and after rib fixation the patient tolerated spinal fixation without further issue.

OBSERVATIONS

Flail chest physiology can cause cardiovascular decompensation in the prone position. Stabilization of the chest wall addresses this instability allowing for safe prone spinal surgery.

LESSONS

Chest wall fixation should be considered in select cases of flail chest physiology prior to stabilization of the spinal column in the prone position. Further research is necessary to identify patients that are at highest risk to not tolerate prone surgery.

Authors: Bozhko Tetiana
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the study is to reveal the patterns of pictorial coding and the formation of symbolic images and visual systems based on them in propaganda graphics during the war between russia and Ukraine. Research methods. The methodology of the research is based on semantic and structural art analysis. The scientific novelty of the research is the reflecting of the spectrum of iconic and symbolic images, which represent the accuracy of coding socio-historical events and the clarity of their fixation in visual communications; and also – detection of differentiation of standard and innovative signs and symbols. Conclusions. In the considered poster projects, the most characteristic forms of image-visual coding of information are highlighted; there are established "traditional", "innovative" and "situational" symbolic forms, and the conditions of their interaction to ensure the quality of the communicative process are defined. Thus, the campaign graphics of KNUKiM students reveals appealing to the treasure trove of already established forms of conventional signs-indexes and conventional symbols, as well as its enrichment with new symbols. Violent and rapidly changing social events and the need for their wide discussion in society lead to the formation of both new visual word images and their "word combinations" and linguistic interpretations. Simultaneously, visual symbols are updated, containing layers of information that are much larger and more meaningful than the initial interpretation of each individual symbol. At the same time, the combined use of various symbols and the leveling of the unification of visual stylistics lead to unexpected and not always expected by the authors results of the "decoding" graphic appeals. In view of the mentioned problem, it is urgent and necessary to focus the attention of scientists on the in-depth and more detailed illumination of symbols and stylistic ways of their display, which are currently being formed and spread in the information environment.

Development and validation of the analytical methods for determination of bromhexine hydrochloride and related impurities in novel orodispersible tablets
Authors: Strózik Mirosław , Strzebońska Magdalena , Skiba Katarzyna , Tatara Wiktor
Published: November 2022

Bromhexine hydrochloride (BRX) is widely applied as an active pharmaceutical ingredient of oral solutions and tablets for the treatment of the infections of the respiratory tract. However, fulfillment of the present regulations, required for the registration process of BRX, might constitute a challenge, due to the occurrence of (3RS)-6,8-dibromo-3-cyclohexyl-3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazolin-3-ium, specified as impurity E by European Pharmacopeia. To overcome this issue, a novel BRX orodispersible tablets (ODT) with improved chemical stability were developed that contain low level of impurity E. Herein the analytical methods, elaborated for the determination of BRX and the related impurities in this product are presented. Stability of the product was tested at accelerated (ACC), intermediate (INT) and long-term (LT) conditions for ICH zones II and III. The degradant E was the most common impurity detected. In the samples stored in INT and LT conditions only a slight increase in the impurities and a slight drop in the assay of the BRX was observed, however the results did not exceed the pre-established acceptance criteria. In the samples stored at ACC conditions, an increase of the known impurities, including degradant E, degradant B and N-oxide, was noted. Noteworthily, even after three years of the product’s shelf-life, the level of the degradant E is still below 0.2 % which corresponds to the ICH identification threshold for the BRX related impurities.

He is an expert in applied bidimensional gel electrophoresis for myosin light chains and was the first to separate mammalian muscle myosin heavy chain isoforms by SDS-gel electrophoresis, particularly the embryonic isoforms. He has demonstrated the ability of long-term denervated muscle to survive denervation by myofiber regeneration, as well as the beneficial impacts of an athletic lifestyle on muscle reinnervation. He has utilized his expertise in translational myology by working to develop and validate rehabilitative treatments of denervated and ageing skeletal muscle. He has authored more than 160 PubMed listed papers (several in Neurological Research, together with guest editing two issues of the journal) and numerous scholarly books. He founded and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL MYOLOGY AND MOBILITY MEDICINE. He has organized more than 50 Padua Muscle Days Meetings and continues to do this, encouraging students and young scientists to participate. As his endless dreams, he is currently validating non-invasive analyses on saliva and sweat, a promising approach that will allow increased frequency sampling to analyze systemic factors (e.g., cytokenes and myokines) during the transient effects of training and rehabilitation by his proposed Full-Body in-Bed Gym for bed-ridden elderly.
The Polyfollicular Anovulatory Androgenic Syndrome: A New Label for an Old Syndrome
Authors: Kandil Mohamed
Published: November 2022

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age. The affected women may have infrequent or prolonged menstrual periods or excess male hormone levels with manifestations of hyperandrogenemia. The ovaries may fail to ovulate with many arrested follicles at the primordial stage. There was a time when the medical profession honored its members by naming diseases after them and that was the case with Stein and Leventhal syndrome which was later changed to polycystic ovary syndrome. Since then, our understanding of the syndrome had changed dramatically. It is now not just a mere association of symptoms with some ultrasonographic features, but rather complex hormonal and metabolic abnormalities with a wide spectrum of variable clinical presentations. Hence, there is an obvious need for a new name to reflect these abnormalities. This article explains the existing problem with the current name and suggests a new system to rename the syndrome.

Польские офицеры – организаторы армии
Башкирской республики (1918–1919 гг.)
Authors: Iskhakov Salavat
Published: November 2022

Po upadku samodzierżawia w Imperium Rosyjskim w 1917 r. polscy oficerowie odegrali znaczącą rolę w organizowaniu formacji wojskowych w Turkiestanie, Kaukazie, Uralu i Wołdze, m.in. w tworzeniu jednostek zbrojnych autonomicznego Baszkurdystanu (Republika Baszkirska), który istniał od końca 1917 r. do początku 1919 r. na Uralu Południowym. Dzięki tym dowódcom, instruktorom i oficerom sztabowym oddziały te okazały się bardzo zdolne i stały się istotnym elementem sytuacji politycznej w regionie. Po przejściu kierownictwa Republiki Baszkirskiej na stronę władzy sowieckiej w lutym 1919 r. jej formacje wojskowe z powodzeniem walczyły w różnych częściach byłego Imperium Rosyjskiego, ale w ich składzie nie było już polskich oficerów. Wiosną – latem 1920 r., jednostki te, wykonując rozkazy z Moskwy, wzięły udział w wojnie radziecko-polskiej. Potem zostały zreorganizowane i wkrótce przestały istnieć.
Cудьба 102 студентов, направленных правительством
первой Азербайджанской Республики (1918–1920) на учебу в
Западную Европу
Authors: Tahirzade Adalet
Published: November 2022

28 maja 1918 proklamowano pierwszą Republikę Azerbejdżanu. Młode państwo powstałe na
gruzach monarchii rosyjskiej cierpiało na deficyt kadr narodowych. Jednym z priorytetów rządu
Azerbejdżanu było wykształcenie własnych kadr, które mogłyby służyć państwowości ich kraju. Artykuł,
oparty na aktach prawnych i prasie z okresu republiki, przedstawia prace Komisji Stypendialnej oraz
szczegółowo opisuje procesy związane z wyjazdami stypendystów do krajów docelowych w kontekście
skomplikowanej sytuacji wewnętrznej i międzynarodowej. W następstwie uchwały Parlamentu i prac
Komisji ds. Spraw Studenckich, studenci z Azerbejdżanu oraz kilku z Dagestanu wyjechali do Szwajcarii,
Francji, Włoch, Anglii, Niemiec, Turcji i Rosji. Przełomem w życiu studentów było obalenie Republiki
Azerbejdżanu przez 11. Armię Czerwoną 27 kwietnia 1920 roku. Po przewrocie władzy studenci znaleźli
się w beznadziejnej sytuacji materialnej. Pozbawieni stypendiów i wsparcia starali się szukać pomocy
u Przewodniczącego Rady Komisarzy Ludowych Azerbejdżanu, Narimana Narimanova. Dopiero w 1921
r. Narimanovowi udało się zdobyć drogie przedmioty na sprzedaż, aby pomóc studentom. Misję tę
powierzył specjalnemu wysłannikowi Bahram-bekowi Akhundovowi. Autor opisuje przebieg delegacji
Akhundova, wyniki jego raportu, który przedstawił po powrocie z 7-miesięcznej podróży służbowej po
Europie Zachodniej.
Większość studentów, którzy powrócili, była represjonowana w sowieckim Azerbejdżanie w latach
1937–38 i 1948–1949. Autor na podstawie materiałów archiwalnych, w tym protokołów przesłuchań
zatrzymanych studentów, przedstawia los studentów, którzy padli ofiarą machiny stalinowskich czystek.
W artykule przedstawiono również pokrótce życiorysy niektórych studentów.
Enhancing the Pozzolanic Reactivity of Spent Bleaching Earth Ash (SBEA) in Binary Blended Cement Mortar through Calcination
Authors: Lim Chung Han
Published: November 2022

The effects of calcination on spent bleaching earth ash (SBEA) were investigated in terms of its contribution to pozzolanic reactivity as well as the strength of blended cement mortar when used as partial cement substitution. SBEA waste, which is plentiful in the global stock, showed some potential as pozzolanic material to reduce reliance on the traditional clinker cement. However, actual research on its use as cement replacement and how it may benefit from calcination was still very limited. This paper can conclude that SBEA contains sufficient silica and alumina oxides as well as satisfactory levels of pozzolanic reactivity to be classified Class N natural pozzolan. By calcining SBEA up to a temperature of 700 °C, its pozzolanic reactivity was improved due to the amorphisation of its contents, leading to an increase in the allowable level of replacements from 30 to 40 % as well as the peak strength achieved. These findings allowed calcined SBEA to be used in greater volume in cement mortar compared to an untreated SBEA. It is also worth noting that an excessively high calcination temperature around 900 °C was found to be detrimental to both the pozzolanic reactivity and strength development of cement mortars.

This paper takes stock of the emerging literature on the governance and framing of both migration and asylum as 'crises'. This study carries forward this line of thinking by showing how the crisis governance of migration is not just a representation or a discourse but emerges as a mode of governance with specific features. The study focuses on the refugee emergency of 2015-2016, covering however a longer time frame (2011-2018) and a wide set of 11 countries (those neighbouring Syria: Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey; countries that were mainly transit points: Greece, Italy, Poland and Hungary; and countries that were mainly destination points (Austria, Germany, Sweden and the UK). Through the meta-analysis of a broad set of materials arising out of the RESPOND research project, we identified three interacting governance features in times of crisis. These include (1) a multilevel but complex actor landscape (2) complicated and fragmented legal systems and policy provisions that may vary both at the temporal and territorial level; (3) a renationalisation narrative that seeks to bring this multifaceted and fragmented governance landscape together under the promise that the national state can re-establish control and solve the 'crisis.'
Commentary: Shapes and Sites of Deaf People’s Transinstitutionalization
Authors: Snoddon Kristin , Weber Joanne
Published: November 2022

This commentary describes our perspective on transinstitutionalization as deaf teachers and researchers from different regions of Canada, and accounts for some of the ways in which transinstitutionalization manifests in the lives of deaf people, particularly in educational settings. In the present day, so-called inclusive education is often presented as the progressive alternative to institutionalization, or deaf schools. However, mainstream education in regular settings without adequate sign language support and the continuing polarization of language and identity options for deaf children are two of the main ways in which transinstitutionalization recurs for deaf children and adults and threatens the vitality of sign languages.
Equity in education: signed language and the courts
Authors: Snoddon Kristin
Published: November 2022

This article examines several legal cases in Canada, the USA, and Australia involving signed language in education for Deaf students. In all three contexts, signed language rights for Deaf students have been viewed from within a disability legislation framework that either does not extend to recognizing language rights in education or that presents obstacles to systemic language planning. The limitations of disability rights legislation in each country is outlined, along with alternate legal arguments for signed language planning in education.
