HONOLULU
Authors: Møllegaard Kirsten 
Published: August 2021

In the grand narrative of Honolulu as the
gateway to the Land of Aloha, Honolulu
metaphorically negotiates a position that
mediates the contrasts between a typical
socio-economic, urban reality and touristic
myths of pastoral excoticism. Drawing on
the critical works of postcolonial scholar
Edward Said in conjunction with theories
on semiotics and tourism, the article posits
that two main factors contribute to reinforce
and repeat the (neo)-colonial paradigm’s
persistence in the grand narrative
on Hawaii – namely aloha and nostalgia.
Aloha functions conceptually as a unifying,
pacifying force amongst the local
population, while it defines the tourist
gaze on Hawaii as a welcoming and politically
uncomplicated holiday destination.
Nostalgia, on the other hand, is the
ideological interpretation of the past based
on utopian desires in the present. Conjoined,
aloha and nostalgia favor the
tourist gaze and continue the hegemonic
processes that colonize the minds of
tourists and locals alike.
VERDENS BEDSTE STORBYFILM
Authors: Bjørn Niels 
Published: August 2021

Når talen falder på storbyfilm, bliver nogle bestemte værker ofte nævnt. Det er film
som Metropolis (1927) af Fritz Lang, Asfaltjunglen (1950) af John Huston, Manhattan
(1979) af Woody Allen og Blade Runner (1982) af Ridley Scott. Fælles for filmene er
for det første, at de tilhører den filmhistoriske kanon i vores del af verden, og for det
andet, at de drager tilskuerens blik til sig med spektakulære billeder af storbyen.
SKOPJE
Authors: Schwartz Jonathan 
Published: August 2021

The article explores some of the ways in
which the citizens and officials of the
Republic of Macedonia commemorated on
July 26, 2003 the 40th anniversary of the
earthquake that destroyed much of Skopje,
the capital city of the Republic. The fragile
Republic in the center of the Balkans also
commemorated during the same week the
100th anniversary of the failed Ilinden
uprising against Ottoman Turkish rule,
August 2, 1903. The study aims at connecting
diverse expressions of how a
particular society remembers its disasters
and attempts to turn them towards redemption.
The Macedonian sociologist,
Ilja Acheski, used the term “permanent
earthquake” to describe the social fragmentation
of his city in the aftermath of
the 1963 earthquake. The article represents
an extensive commentary on this
theme. One of the characteristic responses
during the earthquake memorial was
nostalgic, perhaps “Jugonostalgic”. Several
people stressed to the ethnographer
how the world society – in the midst of
the Cold War – cooperated to help Skopje
during its moment of need. At the unveiling
of a monumental sculpture of a
suffering woman, who is meant to symbolize
Skopje, an older man told me how
America and Russia joined to help Skopje
in 1963. The commemoration of Skopje’s
earthquake, therefore, made it possible to
acknowledge once again the personal
leadership of Tito for his “Brotherhood
and Unity” policy and for his skill at
uniting East and West. Most of the article,
however, does not dwell on the site of the
monument. The author takes long walks
in Topaana, a Roma “slum”, Cair, a neighboring
Albanian “village”, and Lisece, a
Macedonian “barracks” suburb. This last
named site is one of the working-class
suburbs where the wooden frame houses
were built as contributions from abroad
to rehouse the victims made homeless by
the earthquake.
STREGKODER, SPAREGRISE OG BARNEDÅB: Det islandske selv i entreprenørskab og navngivning
Authors: Heijnen Adriënne 
Published: August 2021

This article departs from the dualistic theory pre-eminent in anthropology that
there is a western and a non-Western notion of personhood: the „individual“
versus the „dividual“ (Strathern 1988). Recently, attempts are made to transcend
this dualism by emphasizing rationality and individualism in non-Western notions
of personhood, while the Western individualistic and rational notion of personhood
is left unchallenged. The author integrates analyses of Icelandic entrepreneurship
and of namegiving of Icelandic children and argues that the Icelandic notion of
personhood simultaneously allows for being „individual“ and „dividual“. Thus,
the article challenges established conceptions of the Western person.
‘KULTUR’ OG ‘MØDE’: Gensyn med amerikanske akkulturationsstudier 1936-1963
Authors: Veber Hanne 
Published: August 2021

The author traces the conceptualization of culture contact that emerged in
American anthropology in the early 20th century and became the focus of ample
investigative initiatives in the decades before and after World War II – only to
vanish into blue air in the 1960s, leaving barely a fingerprint in the textbooks of
the 21st century. Based on the published reports from research seminars on
acculturation in the 1930s and -50s, the author exposes the concepts of culture
contact and change in the heyday of these studies and considers the problems
they posed to the scholars. At the outset, fieldwork and the importance of a
historical perspective had been stressed as the bases for understanding crosscultural
dynamics. Yet, emphasis gradually shifted to synchronic functional studies,
resulting in a ‘theoretical lag’, as some leading scholars saw it. Comparative
research allowed the formulation of preliminary typologies, the major ones being
‘incorporation’, ‘assimilation’, ‘fusion’, and ‘compartmentalization’. From these
typologies more specialized vocabulary developed. Scholars began to realize that
the generalizations which emerged had to do with types of contact conditions
rather than types of culture, but most of them hesitated to follow up on this point.
They disagreed over the definition of culture as an autonomous system that a
majority ascribed to, while dissidents felt that the idea of seeing culture as an
entity independent of the human beings was counterproductive to analysis of
processes of cross-cultural contact and change. The ambitious grand scale acculturation
research plan gradually withered. It never attained a hypothesis or a
paradigm sufficiently clear-cut to inspire continuing investigation. Some scholars
had become aware that unequal power relations made a salient characteristic of
contact situations and trajectories, but at the height of the Cold War, they hesitated
to pursue this issue. Eventually the preoccupation with acculturation faded away,
and scholars moved into other areas of anthropological research.

Facial Expression Recognition Using Python Using CNN Model
Authors: Kumar Akash , Nair Athira B. , Jena Swarnaprabha , Rana Debaraj , Pradhan Subrat Kumar 
Published: August 2021

Facial expressions are a vital part of human life. Each day has a number of instances and all instances include numerous amounts of communication. Every communication expressed with emotion tells us about the state of the person. The interpersonal as well as security purposes are solved through facial expressions. The mischievous intention of a person can be caught by his expressions.
The human mind can capture visual information faster. So, a machine recognizing it will be a challenge. As the saying goes- “A picture is worth a thousand words”- only when it is represented well. A machine being able to detect the atmosphere by the means of expression is less of a manual work.
This paper detects the faces, extract the features as well classify them into different categories which ultimately lead to expression recognition. We evaluate our proposed method with the dataset which we used and the recall of angry, fear, happy, neutral, sad, and surprise is 60%, 31%, 84%, 22%, 57% and 58% respectively and the f1-score is 51% 35%, 82%, 25%, 51% and 64% respectively. Experimental results demonstrate the competitive classification of our proposed system.

Aims: Warm foot bath is a simple, cost-effective, efficient treatment modality used in Naturopathy in the management of hypertension, a preventable and treatable global public health issue. This study was done to assess the effect of warm foot bath on heart rate variability and blood pressure and thereby to substantiate the clinical understanding of its effect in hypertensive individuals.
Methodology: From the inpatient department of Shri Dharmasthala Yoga and Nature cure hospital Shantivana, hundred subjects diagnosed with hypertension belonging to the age group of 30 to 60 years were recruited for the study and warm foot bath was given to all the patients. Subjects were assessed for Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) before and after the intervention of 15 minutes.
Results: The data analysis shows a significant reduction in SBP (p<0.001) and DBP (P<0.001). Result showed there is significant reduction seen in MEAN RR, RMSSD, NN50, PN50, VLF and significant increase in LF, HR, LF/HF ratio p value of (p<0.001). There is no significant change in MEAN HF (p>0.005).
Conclusion: The result of the study shows that warm foot bath reduces the sympathetic tone and shifts the Sympatho-vagal balance in favour of parasympathetic dominance and hence, it can be concluded that warm foot bath can be effectively used in the management of hypertension.

Plant Phyto-constituents as Antibiotic Adjuvants: A Systematic Review and Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Dongre Prerana , Bhambar R. S. , Tambe Vrushali , Karnik Archana 
Published: August 2021

The advent of antibiotics in the 19th century has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases. However, irrational use of antibiotics in humans as well as in animals has driven the 21st century to the rapid emergence of MultiDrug Resistance Bacteria (MRB). Moreover, the dissemination of COVID-19 pandemic has paved the way for MRB, typically due to increased use of antibiotics to avoid secondary infections.
The fast pace progression of bacterial resistance for the antibiotics and their combinations is making the management of MRB infections tough and increasing the cost of the treatment as well. However, use of Efflux Pump Inhibitors (EPI) as adjuvant for antibiotics has shown a ray of hope by retaining the susceptibility of the antibiotics and thereby reducing the burden of immediate requirement of new antibiotics for MRB. Accordingly, the present paper is aimed to scrutinize the predominant literature depicting the plant Phyto-constituents as an EPI and adjuvant for antibiotics in the management of MRB infections.
The systematic review of the present paper indicates that the plant phyto-constituents belonging to the class of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids can effectively be used as EPIs for antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin, Tetracyclines and Chloramphenicol. Bibliometric analysis indicates that the Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy and BMC Complementary & Alternative Medicine have published impactful articles on EPI potential of plant phyto-constituents.

Bacteriological Quality of Local Streams and Antibacterial Effect of Ocimum gratissimum and Psidium guajava
Authors: Bassey Etim Lawrence , Okon Ekong Mercy 
Published: August 2021

Background: Streams are known sources of drinking water for most communities in the rural areas. It importance to human and other forms of life cannot be overemphasize, hence the need to evaluate it portability
Methodology: Microbiological quality of different streams in Inua Akpa of Odukpani Local Government Area of Cross River State was determined using standard bacteriological technique. The two (Psidium guajava and Ocimum gratissimum) plant materials were extracted using 70% ethanol and distilled water. Susceptibility testing was carried out using agar diffusion methods. SPSS version 20 was used for descriptive statistics, student Unpaired T-test compared the means of bacterial isolates and their distribution in different streams.
Results: E. coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella and Enterococcus Spp were isolated with percentage occurrence based on streams as: 43.0, 27.0, and 30.0%, 71.0, 27.0, 00, 83.0, 00, 18.0 and 63.0%, 38.0, 00 in Ndom Nyam, Usung Esuk and Usung Odot streams respectively. Klebsiella was the most frequent isolate (83.0%) followed by Salmonella Spp in Ndom Nyam. Salmonella and Enterococcus spp were absent in Usung Odot while Klebsiella Spp was undetected in Usung Esuk. E.coli was isolated in all the experimented streams with total occurrence of 93.0%. There was a significant difference at P = 0.005 in the occurrence of E. coli in all the streams compared to other isolates.
The isolated organisms were susceptible to P. guajava at all concentrations (50, 30, 20, 10, 5mg/mL) with highest inhibition of (24mm) observed at 50mg/mL against Klebsiella Spp. Ocimum gratissimum was effective against E.coli at all concentrations, Enterococcus was only inhibited at 50 and 30mg/mL, Klebsiella showed resistant at the lowest concentration (5mg/mL) while Salmonella resisted the extract at all concentrations. The aqueous extract of both plants showed no antimicrobial activity against any isolated organisms as well as negative controls.
Conclusion: This study suggest a regular monitoring of local streams to stop human activities that encourages the introduction of microorganisms into sources of drinking water. The expressed inhibitory zones of diameter by these two plants justify their used as alternative treatment for water related illnesses in rural communities.

Budi Mulya 2 (BM2) orphanage is a social institution located in Bandar Lampung. To meet the operational needs of development, the day-to-day operations of the orphanage, as well as their development, BM 2 rely on donations provided by permanent and non-permanent donors, thus the cost of developing the homes and foster children is unpredictable, very small, and insufficient. For an institution to have sufficient funds for both physical and non-physical development to allow foster children can be maximized for their guidance process, it is necessary to plan and develop a focused and sustainable business. As one of the efforts is conducting a long-term three-year program to empower the economy independently through aquaculture and plantations in buckets. By doing this action, it is hoped we can build a community service and education institution that is dynamic and capable of accommodating and fostering many neglected children through an independent economic enterprise improvement program. This paper describes the results of the service during the first year of service activities; which are the construction and cultivation training, the first harvest, and several activities during the COVID-19 pandemic had been held. In addition, the skills of the caregiver and foster children improve in cultivating fish and plants in buckets.

Abstrak: Panti asuhan Budi Mulya 2 (BM 2) adalah satu satu lembaga sosial yang berlokasi di Bandar Lampung. Dalam memenuhi kebutuhan operasional pembangunan, operasional sehari-hari panti dan anak asuh, serta pengembangannya, BM 2 mengandalkan donasi yang diberikan oleh Donatur tetap dan tidak tetap, sehingga biaya pengembangan panti dan anak asuh tidak stabil, sangat kecil, dan tidak mencukupi.

Published: August 2021

ObjectivePrevious studies have demonstrated that low physical activity levels during youth are associated with the development of thin knee cartilage, which may increase susceptibility to osteoarthritis later in life. Here, we propose and test the hypothesis that reductions in physical activity impair knee cartilage growth among people in developing countries experiencing urbanization and increased market integration.MethodsUltrasonography was used to measure knee cartilage thickness in 168 children and adolescents (aged 8‐17 years) from two groups in western Kenya: a rural, physically active group from a small‐scale farming community and an urban, less physically active group from the nearby city of Eldoret. We used general linear models to assess the relative effects of age on cartilage thickness in these two groups, controlling for sex and leg length.ResultsBoth groups exhibited significant reductions in knee cartilage thickness with increasing age (P < 0.0001; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.15‐0.06 mm), yet the rate of reduction was significantly less in the rural than in the urban group (P = 0.012; 95% CI 0.01‐0.10 mm).ConclusionThe results support our hypothesis by showing that individuals from the more physically active rural group exhibited less knee cartilage loss during youth than the more sedentary urban group. Our findings suggest that reduced physical activity associated with urbanization in developing nations may affect adult knee cartilage thickness and thus could be a factor that increases susceptibility to osteoarthritis.
