The Artistic Reception of the Bible Legend about Cain and Abel in Modern Ukrainian Literature
Authors: Filonenko Natalia 
Published: June 2020

The article investigates the reception of the biblical tale of Cain and Abel in the story by A. Zabuzhko Kazka pro kalinovu sopilku (The tale of Cain’s Flute) and the poem by O. Irvanec, Braty (Brothers). The subject of the study were the forms and methods of interpreting traditional motifs and images.
The biblical legend, its folklore and literary interpretations were selected as the basis for the considerations (J.H. Byron, I. Franko). Following an anti-religious trend in the treatment of traditional images, the authors created a postmodern version of Cain - a murderer and victim at the same time. The material of the Cainic tale also served the writers to address the issue of the relationship between extraordinary personalities and the average ones, and the lesser value of the first in the eyes of God. The result of the study are conclusions about the nature of postmodern reinterpretation of literary tradi­tion in the works of A. Zabuzhko and O. Irvanec.

It is appropriate that this tenth volume of Frontiers be one of the most important publications in the history of education abroad. The number and range of research articles on outcomes of student learning abroad that are presented in this issue would have been hard to imagine when we published the first volume of Frontiers in 1995. On behalf of the editorial board, I want to extend a special thanks to Guest Editor Mick Vande Berg and the Co-Guest Editors Jane Edwards, Hiram Maxim, and Michael Woolf. They have been a delight with which to work, and have done an outstanding job through the stages of manuscript selection, editing and production of this volume.
Frontiers readers will be please to know that we expect to publish two volumes in 2005, as well as in succeeding years. This is made possible for three reasons. First, we have received additional support from new sponsors, and we thank them and our existing sponsors both for their generosity and for their belief in the mission of Frontiers. We are proud to be supported by academic institutions that are committed to strongly to international education. Second, there is more research being conducted in education abroad than ever before, and as a result, we are receiving more quality manuscripts. We have always believed that the quality of our content matters more than the frequency of our publication, and we are pleased that we now are receiving more high-quality research. Finally, we expect to begin to publish outstanding examples of student research abroad in future volumes as part of our collaboration with the Forum on Education Abroad. We believe that these will be of great interest to our readers and help to document the substantial learning outcomes of study abroad.
The first volume of Frontiers was published in 1995, and therefore next year marks our tenth anniversary. Our next volume will include a retrospective look at the history of Frontiers as well as how the journal’s evolution has mirrored developments in the field of study abroad. Since our first volume, we have published over 100 articles and essays, and these, we hope, have helped both to inspire and to inform the field of study abroad.
I want to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to Dickinson College for continuing to provide substantial institutional support of Frontiers. And, I also want to thank you, our readers, for continuing to cross the frontiers of study abroad in each volume that we publish.

A Necessary Partnership: Study Abroad and Sustainability in Higher Education
Authors: Dvorak Andrea M.W. , Christiansen Lars D. , Fischer Nancy L. , Underhill Joseph B. 
Published: June 2020

In this article, we will explore two case studies of programs abroad that seriously engaged both the contradictions and opportunities inherent in the idea of sustainable international education. The first examines environmental politics and ecology in New Zealand and the Cook Islands and the second compares sustainable urban practices in Canada and the United States. Based on the lessons learned from these case studies, we will argue that partnership between internationalization and sustainability efforts is necessary to help institutions of higher learning become both global and “green.” To that effect, we discuss specific and concrete ways to “green” study abroad courses throughout this paper, particularly within the two case studies and in our concluding discussion of strategies for international educators, faculty, and higher education administrators.

Published: June 2020

Variations in anatomy of the obturator nerve are important to surgeons and anesthesiologists performing surgical procedures in the pelvic cavity, medial thigh and groin regions. They are also helpful for radiologists who interpret computerized imaging and anesthesiologists who perform local anesthesia. This study aimed to describe the anatomical variations and distribution of obturator nerve. The cadavers were examined bilaterally for origin to its final distribution and the variations and normal features of obturator nerve. Sixty-seven limbs sides (34 right and 33 left sides) were studied for variation in origin and distribution of obturator nerve. From which 88.1% arises from L2, L3 and L4 and; 11.9% from L3 and L4 spinal nerves. In 23.9%, 44.8% and 31.3% of specimens the bifurcation levels of obturator nerve were determined to be intrapelvic, within the obturator canal and extrapelvic, respectively. The anterior branch subdivided into two, three and four subdivisions in 9%, 65.7% and 25.4% of the specimens, respectively, while the posterior branch provided two subdivisions in 65.7% and three subdivisions in 34.3% of the specimens. Hip articular branch arose from common obturator nerve in 67.2% to provide sensory innervation to the hip joint. Accessory obturator nerve was not observed at all in this study.

Histoarchitectural studies of gonads of rat pups following brief exposure to hyperthermia in-utero
Authors: Ogundoyin Olakayode Olaolu , Oluwatunase Gideon Olamilekan 
Published: June 2020

This study investigated the effect of hyperthermia on the gonads of the pups of Wistar rats following maternal exposure to brief hyperthermia during pregnancy. Twenty-five pregnant adult female Wistar rats were randomly selected into two groups: Group A (Control) which consisted of 10 female rats and Group B (Experimental) which had 15 female rats. The pregnant dams in the experimental group were exposed to brief hyperthermia for 15 minutes twice daily at 8.00am and 4pm on gestational day (GD) 12-18. The pups produced by the rats were weighed, examined and sacrificed at 35days of post-natal life. Recorded were the microscopic appearances of the gonads while the luminal diameter and thickness of the gonadal vessels were measured and recorded. Data was analysed, mean and standard deviation were generated with student t-test, and p< 0.05 was taken as significant. Maternal exposure to brief hyperthermia during pregnancy significantly reduced the birth weight of the pups in Group B (3.86 ± 0.26g) compared to Group A (4.71 ± 0.18g). The luminal diameters of the testicular and ovarian arteries of the pups in Group B were significantly increased whereas the gonadal vascular arterial wall thicknesses were significantly reduced in comparison with the Group A. Histological examination of the gonads revealed fewer cell population with degeneration and damage to the germinal epithelium of the gonads of the pups in Group B which was more severe in the testes. Maternal exposure to brief hyperthermia during pregnancy has deleterious effects and subsequent destruction of the gonads of pups of Wistar rats and this may interfere with fertility of the pups later.

Published: June 2020

This study investigated the effects of aqueous extract of fruit pulp of Adansonia digitata on albino rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Acute toxicity test was conducted on the extract and then analysed for some phytoconstituents. Thirty-five adult rats were divided into seven groups of five rats each. Group A were the non-infected control group while groups B, C, D, E, F and G were inoculated with 1x 106 trypanosomes per 100 g body weight (BW). At day 6 post infection (6 PI), groups C and D were treated with diminazene aceturate and vitamin C at dose rates of 3.5 mg/kg BW intra peritonealy once and 200 mg/kg BW orally for 3 days respectively, while groups E, F, G were orally treated for 3 days with 40, 80, and 160 mg/kg BW of the extract respectively. The rats were monitored for parasitaemia, PCV and body weight. The LD50 of the extract was greater than 9000 mg/kg. The phytochemical analysis revealed 3.51% flavonoid, 0.07% alkaloid, 0.10% saponin and 0.03.0% oxalate in the extract. While there was progressive increase in parasitaemia from day 6 PI in groups E and F throughout the study, parasitaemia decreases and was completely cleared by day 8 and 11 PI in groups C and G respectively. PCV of group A was not significantly different (p>0.05) from that of F and G. There was significant difference (p<0.05) in the PCV of Group A and that of groups B and C and highly significantly different (p<0.01) with that of D and E. Significant (p<0.05) body weight increase of rats in groups D, E, F and G at day 10 PI was observed. Thus, fruit pulp of A. digitata at a dose of 9000 mg/kg was not toxic to rats, and contains active compounds with potential In vivo anti-trypanosoma activity.

Knowledge, attitude and practices of pig farmers post African swine fever outbreaks in Ogun and Oyo states of Nigeria
Authors: Omowon A.A. , Daodu O.B. , Omowon A.M. , Bello I.I. 
Published: June 2020

The experience during African swine fever (ASF) virus outbreak can be devastating. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and practise among pig farmers to avoiding resurgence of ASF outbreaks in Oyo and Ogun States of Nigeria where ASF outbreaks had been earlier reported. Non participatory observations and participatory interviews using pre-tested structured questionnaire were conducted in 2016 among 92 consenting pig farms post-ASF outbreak. The study showed that one in two of pig farms studied had suffered from ASF outbreak before. Meanwhile, several bio-security breaches that facilitate ASF and other infectious agents spread were still maintained including ‘farm restocking with ASF survivor pigs’ (61.5%; 32/52), ‘boar lending among farms for breeding purposes without examination’ (54.3%; 50/92), ‘extensive system and semi-intensive pig management’ (21.7%; 20/92), ‘farm attendants sharing among pig farms’ (19.6%; 18/92), ‘farm equipment/ implements/ facilities sharing among farms’ (22.8%; 21/92), selling of pig carcass (9.8%; 9/92), ‘carcass disposal in the bush’ (19.6%; 18/92). In this study we found out that management and bio-security activities in the pig farms studied were still poor and could place them at high risk of infection and repeated disease outbreaks in the future. The study suggests that pig farmers had not learnt from the previous ASF outbreaks. Therefore, proper sensitization on ASF epidemiology, public health significance and socioeconomic impact should be carried out. This study calls for swift action to prevent future calamities in pig production facilities in the study areas.

Evaluation of the knowledge and application of diagnostic imaging modalities among veterinary surgeons in Nigerian veterinary medical schools
Authors: Ibe C.S. , James A.A. , Nzalak J.O. 
Published: June 2020

The awareness, theoretical and practical knowledge of radiography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), nuclear medical imaging (NMI) and thermography were accessed among veterinary surgeons teaching in veterinary schools in Nigeria, using a structured questionnaire. Respondents were grouped into five depending on their years of experience post-graduation. These were Group A (0-5 years), Group B (6-10 years), Group C (11-15 years) Group D (16-20 years) and Group E (> 20 years). The result of the awareness of radiography as a diagnostic imaging modality in veterinary practice was not dependent on the years of research experience. A 100 % of respondents in Group A were aware that ultrasonography is indicated in veterinary practice; while only 96.67 % were aware that radiography is so indicated. There was a gradual decline in the awareness of CT compared to radiography and ultrasonography. There was low awareness of the application of MRI, NMI and thermography in veterinary practice by all respondents irrespective of their years of experience. There was a decline in the degree of theoretical knowledge with advancement in the technique. The variation in the mere observation of the practical demonstration of radiography was related to years of research experience, with the exception of Group D. Group E recorded the highest positive response to practical knowledge of all the diagnostic imaging modalities. There was a remarkable drop in the practical knowledge of CT, MRI, NMI and thermography, compared to radiography and ultrasonography in each of the study groups. Only 1 veterinary school had a CT scanning machine, and none had an MRI unit, a gamma camera or a thermographic camera. Only 4 veterinary schools taught MRI. No veterinary school taught NMI and thermography. Appropriate recommendations were made.

Air mass physiochemical characteristics over New Delhi: impacts on aerosol hygroscopicity and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation

Published: June 2020

Abstract. Delhi is a megacity subject to high local anthropogenic emissions and
long-range transport of pollutants. This work presents for the first time
time-resolved estimates of hygroscopicity parameter (κ) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), spanning for
more than a year, derived from chemical composition and size distribution
data. As a part of the Delhi Aerosol Supersite (DAS) campaign, the
characterization of aerosol composition and size distribution was conducted
from January 2017 to March 2018. Air masses originating from the Arabian Sea
(AS), Bay of Bengal (BB), and southern Asia (SA) exhibited distinct
characteristics of time-resolved sub-micron non-refractory PM1 (NRPM1) species, size distributions, and CCN number concentrations.
The SA air mass had the highest NRPM1 loading with high chloride and
organics, followed by the BB air mass, which was more contaminated
than AS, with a higher organic fraction and nitrate. The primary sources
were identified as biomass-burning, thermal power plant emissions,
industrial emissions, and vehicular emissions. The average hygroscopicity parameter
(κ), calculated by the mixing rule, was approximately 0.3 (varying between
0.13 and 0.77) for all the air masses (0.32±0.06 for AS, 0.31±0.06 for BB, and 0.32±0.10 for SA). The diurnal variations in κ were
impacted by the chemical properties and thus source activities. The total,
Aitken, and accumulation mode number concentrations were higher for SA,
followed by BB and AS. The mean values of estimated CCN number concentration
(NCCN; 3669–28926 cm−3) and the activated fraction (af;
0.19–0.87), for supersaturations varying from 0.1 % to 0.8 %, also showed the
same trend, implying that these were highest in SA, followed by those in BB
and then those in AS. The size turned out to be more important than chemical
composition directly, and the NCCN was governed by either the Aitken
or accumulation modes, depending upon the supersaturation (SS) and critical
diameter (Dc). af was governed mainly by the geometric mean
diameter (GMD), and such a high af (0.71±0.14 for the most
dominant sub-branch of the SA air mass – R1 – at 0.4 % SS) has not been seen
anywhere in the world for a continental site. The high af was a
consequence of very low Dc (25–130 nm, for SS ranging from
0.1 % to 0.8 %) observed for Delhi. Indirectly, the chemical properties
also impacted CCN and af by impacting the diurnal patterns of Aitken
and accumulation modes, κ and Dc. The high-hygroscopic nature of
aerosols, high NCCN, and high af can severely impact the
precipitation patterns of the Indian monsoon in Delhi, impact the radiation budget,
and have indirect effects and need to be investigated to quantify this
impact.
