THE REPRESENTATIONS OF HOMOPHOBIA IN GAY-THEMED AMERICAN MOVIES 1990s–2010s
Authors: Mere Stella Maris Saraswati 
Published: November 2020

The United States is well-known for its acceptance of homosexuality. Nevertheless, homophobia remains a threat that endangers gay communities in the United States. Homophobia is an intriguing phenomenon for American filmmakers. Through gay-themed movies, those filmmakers intend to raise the awareness that homophobia is elusive to eradicate. This study scrutinizes the representations of homophobia in the United States as seen in gay-themed American movies. The study carries out Postnationalist America Studies as the paradigm of the study which encompasses the discussions of numerous phenomena in the United States. Also, the study applies theory of representation by Stuart Hall probing the representations of homophobia in gay-themed American movies of 1990s-2010s. The study uses nine gay-themed American movies of 1990s-2010s as the primary data of the research. The findings of the study show three representations of homophobia in the United States, which encompass religions, gender roles, heteronormativity, masculinity, and HIV/AIDS as the highlighted factors that incite homophobia. By highlighting those major factors of homophobia, the filmmakers come up with two major intentions. The first intention is the movies as means to criticize the society who conforms to strict religious beliefs, traditional gender roles, masculinity, and heteronormativity. The conformity has led the society to commit homophobia, hence making homophobia elusive to eradicate. The second intention is the movies are aimed at encouraging gay communities to keep fighting for their issues and equality.

The lives of the Cherokee family in the 20th Century in Patricia Riley’s Damping Down the Road and Wisteriagive a description in how the characters in the family have different viewpoint on seeing Native American, Cherokee. The research is to find out the ways used by the Cherokee people to survive in the whites’ culture society and to find the reasons for the Cherokee people survive in such way. The research is conducted under American Studies discipline, by applying postnational paradigm. Moreover, mimicry, decolonization theory proposed by Frantz Fanon, to analyze the ways used by the characters to survive in the whites’ culture society and drive theory proposed by Clark L. Hull to answer the reason for the natives to survive in such ways.The research finds that both short stories are depicted to do mimicry and to keep their Cherokee culture. The characters who do mimicry are those who want to be accepted in the whites’ culture society meanwhile the characters who keep their Cherokee culture are those who have mission in maintaining the Cherokee culture for the next generation. By doing mimicry and keeping the traditional culture, they could survive in the whites’ culture society in order to show their existence.

Radiation Treatment of Synchronous Gynaecologic Cancer: a Clinical Case
Authors: Lushnikova P. A. , Sukhikh E. S. 
Published: November 2020

Introduction. Recent years have witnessed an increased incidence of multiple neoplasms. In multiple combined cancer, the choice of treatment strategy remains challenging, as two or more tumours require treatment in the shortest perspective. However, an intense treatment may induce many and severe complications with co-located organs and systems. No universal protocol or treatment standard for managing multiple primary cancers is accepted in Russia or worldwide.Materials and methods. The clinical case describes radiation treatment of a female patient with synchronous gynaecologic cancer of vagina and endometrium at the “TOOD” medical facility’s radiotherapy unit. Our treatment was designed to maximise the dosage targeting at a minimal off-coverage of healthy tissues. The treatment was conducted in two steps on an Elekta Synergy Platform S instrument, with the total duration of 62 days.Results and discussion. After radiotherapy, the patient had an oncologic and gynaecologic observation for one year. A complete tumour regression in two localities was confirmed visually, cytologically and instrumentally.Conclusion. A treatment strategy in multiple primary cancers should be personalised. With unfeasible “standard therapy”, alternative approaches for the patient’s treatment are to be explored. We report a successful therapy in a woman with synchronous gynaecologic cancer by applying remote conformal radiation in regional uterine cancers with simultaneous integrated boost to the vaginal tumour during the first radiation step. Brachytherapy at the second step was replaced with stereotactic radiation due to vaginal constriction, pain syndrome and unfeasible applicator installation.
Improving Community Health and Wellbeing Through Multi-Functional Green Infrastructure in Cities Undergoing Densification
Authors: Marques Bruno , McIntosh Jacqueline , Chanse Victoria 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Evidence shows that maintaining a relationship with nature is essential for human health and wellbeing. This is of great importance when migration to urban areas is increasing globally and the need for nature as well as green and blue spaces as a source of recreation and relaxation is highly regarded for the health and wellbeing of local communities. Sustainable urban development and alternative design solutions to address urban compactness and densification are becoming increasingly important tools to counteract the adverse effects of urban sprawl. In the context of the highly compact bicultural capital city of Wellington, Aotearoa-New Zealand, this paper examines the effects of urban densification and compact city development in urban green spaces. It explores how architecture and landscape architecture can transform urban environments into desirable places to live and capitalise on the potentials of interstitial spaces, outdated zoning and changing land-use. To achieve that, it looks at green and blue infrastructure design solutions and opportunities that foster sustainable intensification and by offering new views for health and wellbeing that improve the social, cultural and environmental health of the city.

Abstract
This study was performed to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with β-glucan on the growth performance and skin-mucus microbiota of sea trout, Salmo trutta L. in Latvia. The investigations were performed during an eight-month period (September 2018 – April 2019). A total of 15,000 sea trout were divided into five groups. The experimental fish were fed formulated diets enriched with 1 g kg−1 β-glucan (D2), 3 g kg−1 β-glucan (D3), 6 g kg−1 biological product BGN-2 (BGN-2) (D4), and 14 g kg−1 BGN-2 (D5). The control diet (D1) was not supplemented. Our results showed that fish fed diets D4 and D5 achieved significantly (P < 0.05) higher growth parameters compared to those fed the other diets. Pseudomonas and Aeromonas were detected as the main component of fish skin and gill microbiota. Beta-glucan did not affect the skin-mucus microbiota of the sea trout. All isolates were resistant to amoxicillin, ampicillin, cefalexin, and erythromycin and susceptible to gentamicin. The multiple antibiotic resistance index for all isolates was higher than 0.2.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Aim. The aim of this study was to assess the anti-CMV antibody titre, the presence of genetic material of the virus in the plasma of elderly residents of nursing homes and the impact of the CMV infection on the risk of death.

Material and methods. The number of 202 residents of a nursing home in Warsaw, aged 65 and over, were observed for 1095 days (3 years) between 2015 and 2018. During this period 126 (62.4%) residents died. Plasma CMV DNA levels were assessed using real-time PCR. Anti-CMV antibody titre was measured with the use of commercially available ARCHITECT CMV test.

Results. No genetic material of the CMV was found in the studied group of the residents. The mean IgG titre did not differ between those who survived and those who deceased (p=1). Pearson’s Chi-squared test and Fisher’s exact test did not reveal any differences in the rate of deaths among the groups of seronegative, seropositive < 250 IgG [Au/ml], and seropositive > 250 IgG [Au/ml] residents. Kaplan-Meyers survival curves confirmed these results.

Conclusions. We did not demonstrate that CMV infection or the anti-CMV antibody titer have any effect on the risk of death in the study group.

Published: November 2020

Decreasing the gas pressure is one of the most effective methods to increase the working gas capacity of salt cavern Underground Gas Storages (UGS). In this paper, KING-1 and -2 caverns of Jintan salt cavern UGS, Jiangsu province, China, are studied as an example to investigate their responses under extremely low gas pressure. A 3D geomechanical model of the two caverns is built based on the geological features and rock properties of the host rock salt formation. Different operating conditions are simulated. Safety evaluation criteria for completion casing and caverns are proposed. Thresholds of the indicators consisting of the criteria are given to find the potential minimum gas pressure and the safe working duration of the two caverns. Calculation results indicate that axial strain (along the vertical direction) can perfectly reflect the effects of low gas pressure on the safety of completion casing. The indicators calculated based on the stresses have advantages compared to those based on deformation in assessing the safety of the salt cavern under such low gas pressure and short operating time conditions. The minimum gas pressure gradient of KING-1 and -2 caverns at the casing shoe can decrease from about 7 kPa/m to 5 kPa/m,viz., the minimum gas pressure can decrease from 7 MPa to 5 MPa. The maximum duration for 5 MPa is no more than 118 days. Taking KING-1 cavern as an example, the working gas volume can increase about 17.3%. Research results can provide references for Jintan salt cavern UGS coping with gas shortages.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has recently emerged in China and caused a global pandemic. WHO announced that COVID-19 could be characterised as a pandemic due to unprecedented swift global spread and severity of the outbreak. When infected with the virus, patients usually have a fever, dry cough, dyspnoea, myalgia, headache and sometimes diarrhoea. Updates on molecular characteristics of SARS-CoV-2, treatment and epidemiological control are more important to help optimise the disease control measures Thrombotic complication is an essential issue in patients infected with COVID-19. Concomitant venous thromboembolism (VTE) seems to be a potential cause of unexplained deaths in COVID-19 cases. Thrombocytopenia, elevated D-dimer, prolonged prothrombin time, and disseminated intravascular coagulation are the clinical findings related to such condition. In China, anticoagulant therapy in severe COVID‐19 was suggested for improving outcome. Studies showed the urgency for VTE diagnostic strategies. Aetiology may be multifactorial, and therefore, we review the available literature relevant to acute venous thromboembolism associated with novel coronavirus infection.

It has been nineteen (19) years of special autonomy imposed in the land of Papua. But the problem of education in Papua and West Papua is not something new to hear. Papua and West Papua still rank 31 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia. Policies to improve the quality of human resources of Papuans are an important part of the framework for bringing prosperity to all Indonesians. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. To see the results of the policy evaluation researchers used the theory of evaluation according to Willian N Dunn on four (4) criteria namely; Efficiency; Effectiveness; Leveling out; Responsiveness. Research Results: 1. The education budget allocation of 20% of the APBD is only 13% which has been realized, around 7% that has not been implemented. 2. Undergraduate Scholarship Program, Teacher Welfare Program, and Dropout Rate Program, which is implemented by the City Government of Sorong, has been running well. But there is no clear budget transparency from the Government related to these education financing programs. 3. Every year around 200 indigenous Papuan students are given scholarships. Teacher welfare has been noted but is not guaranteed. Weak economic students are given tuition fees. 4. The implementation of the education funding program by the City Government of Sorong is still unknown by all Sorong city residents, lack of socialization and some programs are still closed. Otonomi khusus sudah diberlakukan di tanah Papua selama sembilan belas tahun lamanya. Tetapi, masalah pendidikan di Papua dan Papua Barat bukan sesuatu yang baru untuk didengar. Papua dan Papua Barat masih menempati peringkat ke-31 dari 34 propinsi di Indonesia. Kebijakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas sumberdaya manusia Papua menjadi bagian penting dari kerangka kerja untuk membawa kesejahteraan bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Untuk melihat hasil evaluasi kebijakan, peneliti menggunakan teori evaluasi menurut Willian N Dunn pada empat (4) kriteria: Efficiency, Effectiveness, Leveling out, dan Responsiveness. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan: pertama, alokasi anggaran pendidikan sebesar 20% dari APBD hanya 13% yang telah terealisasi, sementara sekitar 7% belum dilaksanakan. Kedua, Program Beasiswa Sarjana, Program Kesejahteraan Guru, dan Program Angka Putus Sekolah, yang dilaksanakan oleh Pemerintah Kota Sorong, sudah berjalan dengan baik meskipun tidak ada transparansi anggaran yang jelas dari pemerintah terkait program pembiayaan pendidikan. Ketiga, sekitar 200 siswa sudah mendapat beasiswa setiap tahun. Kesejahteraan guru telah dicatat meskipun tidak ada jaminan, sementara siswa dengan ekonomi lemah diberi biaya kuliah. Keempat, implementasi program pendanaan pendidikan oleh Pemerintah Kota Sorong masih belum diketahui oleh semua warga kota Sorong, terutama karena kurangnya sosialisasi dan beberapa program masih ditutup.
