Published: July 2021

This research studied the effectiveness of herbicide treatments in weed control and during different periods of emergence, when applied to varying amounts of straw. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with pre-emergent herbicides: amicarbazone, metribuzin, indaziflam, isoxaflutole, amicarbazone + indaziflam, metribuzin + indaziflam, and isoxaflutole + indaziflam, against three species (Sorghum halepense, Rottboellia exaltata, and Mucuna aterrima). The experimental design was completely randomized in a 5x4 factorial scheme, with five amounts of straw (0, 1, 2, 3, and 5 t/ha) and four periods of weed emergence (0, 30, 60, and 90 days after treatments). The residual control of indaziflam was influenced by the amount of straw. Metribuzin presented a low residual control, while isoxaflutole was not affected by the amount of straw. Amicarbazone offered residual control for Mucuna aterrima. The association between indaziflam + isoxaflutole displayed a suitable residual control against Sorghum halepense and Rottboellia exaltata. The association of indaziflam + metribuzin adequately controlled Mucuna aterrima and Sorghum halepense. herbicide physical-chemical characteristics can influence their performance, and the association of products may increase residual and weed spectrum control.
Highlights

This partial or total removal of remaining sugarcane straw from the soil surface alters weeds dynamics in sugarcane fields. In this situation we have monocot and dicot weeds infesting the sugarcane crops.
Among these species, some plants are even more difficult to control, such as Sorghum halepense, Rottboellia exaltata, and Mucuna aterrima
Indaziflam herbicide presented a better performance in controlling monocotyledonous plants than eudicot plants.
The herbicides amicarbazone and metribuzin presented adequate control of Mucuna aterrima despite having lower residual control.
The association of indaziflam + metribuzin, resulted in satisfactory results for Mucuna aterrima, Sorghum halepense, and Rottboellia exaltata.
A theoretical study on the CO2 methanation over Ni5/AC catalysts by means of density functional theory. Part II: Reaction pathways
Authors: Van Hue , Phung Lan , Nguyen Ha , Le Cam , Nguyen Ha 
Published: July 2021

The methanation of carbon dioxide over Ni5 supported on activated carbon (Ni5/AC) was studied by using density functional theory and climbing image – nudged elastic band methods. A reaction diagram for the formation of methane via CO or HCOO species, which consists of 14 reaction steps was proposed. The reaction energy and activation energy for the overall steps involved in the reaction process were calculated and analyzed. Following the proposed mechanism possible carbon byproducts of the CO2 methanation reaction are CO and HCHO. Formation of these products can occur at high temperatures, but it is more thermodynamically difficult than formation of CH4. The formation of CH4 is more preferably occur via the CO pathway than the HCOO pathway.

Abstract. This paper presents measurements of ozone, water vapour and nitric acid (HNO3) in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) over North Atlantic and Europe. The measurements were acquired with the Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) during the Wave Driven Isentropic Exchange (WISE) campaign in October 2017. GLORIA is an airborne limb imager capable of acquiring both 2-D data sets (curtains along the flight path) and, when the carrier aircraft is flying around the observed air mass, spatially highly resolved 3-D tomographic data. Here, we present a case study of a Rossby wave (RW) breaking event observed during two subsequent flights 2 d apart. RW breaking is known to steepen tracer gradients and facilitate stratosphere–troposphere exchange (STE). Our measurements reveal complex spatial structures in stratospheric tracers (ozone and nitric acid) with multiple vertically stacked filaments. Backward-trajectory analysis is used to demonstrate that these features are related to several previous Rossby wave breaking events and that the small-scale structure of the UTLS in the Rossby wave breaking region, which is otherwise very hard to observe, can be understood as stirring and mixing of air masses of tropospheric and stratospheric origin. It is also shown that a strong nitric acid enhancement observed just above the tropopause is likely a result of NOx production by lightning activity. The measurements showed signatures of enhanced mixing between stratospheric and tropospheric air near the polar jet with some transport of water vapour into the stratosphere. Some of the air masses seen in 3-D data were encountered again 2 d later, stretched to very thin filament (horizontal thickness down to 30 km at some altitudes) rich in stratospheric tracers. This repeated measurement allowed us to directly observe and analyse the progress of mixing processes in a thin filament over 2 d. Our results provide direct insight into small-scale dynamics of the UTLS in the Rossby wave breaking region, which is of great importance to understanding STE and poleward transport in the UTLS.
Literary tourism: Readers, writers and being there
Authors: Krauth Nigel 
Published: July 2021

This paper examines literary tourism in light of self-educational aspects of the European Grand Tour recorded by writers across four centuries. It considers travellers’ developing notions of literary travel along with developing municipal understandings of literary tourist destinations. It goes on to apply ideas about literary tourism to travel undertaken by writers themselves, seeking to provide analysis and advice for writers visiting places of literary significance.
Wandering with Wi-Fi: The wandering trend in women’s travel blogs
Authors: Cantrell Kate 
Published: July 2021

Despite the continued popularity of travel blogs, there is a lack of contemporary criticism concerning the literal and figurative meanings of ‘wandering’ in the genre of online travel writing. One only has to trawl through the blogosphere to notice the number of female travellers who refer to themselves as ‘wandering’ women. However, female wandering has received little to no study in travel writing scholarship. In other words, what a ’wandering woman’ is exactly – for example, why she wanders and how, as well as what constitutes an act of wandering – is yet to be widely theorised. Furthermore, the subversive tendency of female wandering to disrupt not only circular journeys but also stable conceptualisations of home has not been deeply explored. This paper argues that female wandering is a complex mode of travel that is characterised by the coupling of literal and figurative movement, and therefore it cannot be conceptualised through canonical understandings of departure and return. In the travel blogs presented for analysis, the authors construct non-linear narratives that are marked by boundlessness, continuity, and self-reflexivity. In this way, the blogs themselves are ‘wandering’ texts that marry the physical wandering of the body with the abstract wondering of the mind. As a result, wandering is not only the content of the blog but the defining characteristic of the text itself. When female bloggers cast themselves as wandering women, they resist the Romantic equation of wandering with suffering, and instead construct wandering as a shared reprieve rather than an individual burden. This representation of female wandering as a positive and productive endeavour is interesting given literary representations of male wandering as a curse or punishment.
On the death of travel writing: An autoethnographic inquiry
Authors: González Caleb Lee 
Published: July 2021

This essay embraces both a critical and creative writing approach to explore the question that has recently loomed over the genre of travel writing: Is travel writing dead? In support for the life of the genre, this essay imagines an amplified definition of travel writing, especially under a global context of movement and migrancy. Additionally, this essay uses an autoethnographic approach (a fusion of the critical and creative) to connect the author’s travel writing identity and family history of migrancy to larger historic, cultural, political, and social meanings. It, therefore, leans on the definition of autoethnography provided by Carolyn Ellis, a leading qualitative researcher who says, autoethnography, is a form of ’research, writing, story, and method that connect the autobiographical and personal to the cultural, social, and political (Ellis 2004: xix). Furthermore, this essay explores what it means to engage in travel writing, while working toward a global understanding through stories of travel, movement, and migrancy. Leaning on the expertise of travel writers like Pico Iyer, Rana Dasgupta, Lindsey Hilsum, Morwari Zafar, Jamaica Kincaid, and a variety of theorists like Gloria Anzaldúa, Mary Baine Campbell, Andrew Miller, Peter Hulme, Joan Pau Rubiés, and others, this essay ultimately claims that many writers are expanding their definition of travel writing by considering the genre as complex, amplified, ever-shifting, and always in motion.
From hotbeds of depravity to hidden treasures: the narrative evolution of Melbourne’s laneways
Authors: Mundell Meg 
Published: July 2021

Places are both sustained and shaped by the stories we tell about them. In turn, stories of place are influenced by cultural, political, and socioeconomic forces. A form of ‘unplanned’ urban architecture, over almost two centuries Melbourne’s inner-city laneways have been inscribed with multiple layers of narrative. This paper tracks the unfolding tensions around these evolving urban spaces, from Melbourne’s founding up until the present day. Drawing upon site visits, theorists of place, narrative and memory, and analysis of select historical and contemporary texts, the articles explores how the uses of Melbourne’s back lanes have changed over time, and how these changes have been both reflected in, and influenced by, narratives of place. From their genesis as makeshift service lanes, to their early reputation as sites of moral disorder; from shanty towns to celebrated tourist destinations; from public health risks to sites of urban renewal and cultural memorialisation – the transformation of these atmospheric passageways illustratesthe fluid and contested nature of place, and its intrinsic yet unstable relationship with narrative. In considering how narrative has been deployed to stake or negate claims to the laneways, the article traces the role and impact of various actors: government, social reformers, slum residents, novelists, journalists and media outlets, business interests, street artists, and people experiencing homelessness. Melbourne’s inner-urban back lanes emerge as liminal sites where questions of spatial exclusion, cultural capital, and belonging are navigated in complex and shifting ways.
Stories we can’t tell: on writing dissident architecture
Authors: Karami Sepideh 
Published: July 2021

Writing architecture is not writing about architecture, but writing it, making it. It is to create new grounds, sites of actions, and construct characters who build these grounds and change them by inhabiting them critically and performatively. By situating writing in contexts where direct ways of expression are impossible, I investigate how dissident writing can circumvent the bans of an oppressive power by inventing an Aesopian language. Dissident writing is to write with multiple voices and many authors – not all of whom are welcome. To develop a tactic of writing with unwelcome co-authors, i.e. writing with the dominant power, but against it, is what dissidence could bring into writing architecture. In this way, writing dissident architecture deals with two main questions. One is: how to tell a story we cannot tell? And the other: how can this struggle with an impossible narration create a dissident architecture? To investigate these questions, in this text domestic spaces of houses are considered as a key example of performing grounds for dissidents. By going through an experiment of writing situated in the spaces of a demolished house, I discuss how the construction of dissident characters who perform in the house and the application of different genres and experimental writings complicate the house and bring on the writing of a dissident architecture.
As/saying architecture: a ficto-spatial essay of lying-in
Authors: Cheatle Emma 
Published: July 2021

Through an exposé of my research, ’The Architecture of Lying-in: From the Dark and Airless Room to the Hospital for Women’, this paper explores creative-critical methods of writing architectural history. Until the 1740s, women in England gave birth in the bedroom, which was refashioned for the occasion as a dark, internalised space, the ’lying-in chamber’. Around this time, the rise of the man- midwife and instruments such as maternal forceps heralded the lying-in hospital, the first specialist hospital overall, yet few architectural descriptions of it exist, nor of the maternal domestic space it challenged. Here, I examine the home and the first London lying-in hospital by drawing on a range of sources such as architectural plans, midwifery manuals and treatises, maps, novels and political writings. Developing a text that plies between essay and fiction, I critically reconstruct the architecture of lying-in.

Published: July 2021

The study aims to know and analyze the effect of motivation, work discipline, and compensation on employee performance both partially and simultaneously. This research was carried out at PT. Sinar Jernih Suksesindo. The procedure starts from the trial of research instruments, data collection through questionnaires, conducting data analysis, and preparing research report results. The number of samples studied amounted to 130 employees. The data used in this study is the primary data that researchers obtain directly from the source. The result of this study states motivation, leadership and Compensation has significant effect on the employee performance with a sig value < 0.001. Factors that affect performance include work discipline, compensation, and motivation. Work discipline is needed to produce a good performance; with discipline, employees will try to do the work as much as possible, and the resulting performance will be better. Discipline must be enforced in an organization or company because without good employee discipline, and it is difficult for companies to realize their goals. The key to the company's success in achieving its goals is discipline. A discipline is a form of awareness or willingness of a person to obey all organizational or company regulations and applicable social norms.

Published: July 2021

Objective: This study aims to explore students’ adherence and reasons behind the (non)adherence to the COVID-19-regulations within a university setting.Methods: A total of 33 students participated in on-site and online focus group interviews (k = 8). Discussed topics included the general COVID-19-guidelines of the university, including keeping ≥1.5 m distance, staying at home and getting tested when having symptoms, and wearing facemasks. Additionally, education and psychosocial wellbeing in times of COVID-19 were discussed. We also conducted online interviews with stewards (2 focus group interviews and 1 individual interview) and security/crowd control officials (1 focus group interview) to learn more about students’ (non)adherence behaviors.Results: The findings of this study show that the interviewed students were willing to adhere to the guidelines within the university buildings. They mentioned several facilitators (e.g., the infrastructure of the buildings and staff) and barriers (e.g., being together with friends and difficulties with telling others to follow the regulations) for their compliance behaviors. Some students also stated that they are not afraid of COVID-19 because they are young, while others adhered to the regulations to protect vulnerable people. Focus group interviews with stewards/security did not add anything new to the findings.Conclusion: To create a safe environment within the university and alleviate the spread of the virus, future interventions require targeting the determinants of students’ non-adherence behaviors, such as lower risk perception (e.g., being young and no perceived threat/low vulnerability) and lower self-efficacy (e.g., for keeping distance, to determine symptoms for testing/isolating and to correct others).

Early Discharge After Total Hip Arthroplasty at an Urban Tertiary Care Safety Net Hospital: A 2-Year Retrospective Cohort Study
Authors: Alley Maxwell C. , Shewmaker Grant S. , Vaickus Max H. , Niu Ruijia , Freccero David , Smith Eric L. 
Published: July 2021

Introduction:
Previous studies have shown that shorter inpatient stays after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are safe and effective for select patient populations with limited medical comorbidity and perioperative risk. The purpose of our study was to compare the postoperative complications because they relate to the length of hospital stay at a safety net hospital in the urban area of the United States.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 236 patients who underwent primary THA in 2017 at an urban safety net hospital. We collected data on demographics, medical comorbidities, and surgical admission information. Patients were categorized as “early discharge” if they were discharged on postoperative day 0 to 1 and “standard discharge” if they were discharged on postoperative day 2 to 5. The outcomes of interest were 90-day and 2-year postoperative complications, emergency department visit, readmissions, and revision surgeries. Data were analyzed using t-test or chi-square test for univariate analysis and linear logistic regression for controlled analysis.

Results:
Compared with the standard discharge group, there were markedly more male patients in the early discharge group (44.5% versus 80%). Early discharge patients were markedly younger (53.3 versus 59.5 years old), more likely to be White/non-Hispanic (64.4% versus 42.4%) and less likely to have heart disease and diabetes (2.2% versus 15.2% and 2.2% versus 19.9%, respectively). With adjustment for these potential confounders, no notable difference was observed in all-type complications, emergency department visits, readmission, or revision surgery between the two groups.

Discussion:
This study confirmed that early discharge after THA is as safe as standard discharge in a safety net hospital with appropriate preoperative risk screening. Increased perioperative counseling and optimization of social and medical risk factors mitigated possible risk factors for increased length of stay and surgical complication.
Neuromarketing: The New Dawn and Disruption in Marketing Research
Authors: Bhanu Prakash Kovvali , Adi Sesha Reddy Appidi 
Published: July 2021

The 21st Century is termed as the ‘Century of the Brain’ and the ‘Human Brain’ has 100 billion neurons and each neuron is connected to 10000 other neurons. ‘Meme’ is a unit of information that is stored in the brain and these units are effective at influencing a person who is making choices and decisions within 2.6 seconds. The ‘Neuromarketing’ is emerged from the realms of ‘Neuro Science’ as a new dawn and digi-driven disruption in the arena of ‘Marketing Research’ that studies the cognitive and emotional brain responses to marketing stimuli. The ‘Consumer Neuro Science’ by instigating brain wave tools figuring out what customers’ thoughts and brain responses are towards a product, service, advertisement, or even packaging. Neuromarketing mapping the activities in specific regional strata of the brain, capturing and predicting the psychological as well as physiological behavioral changes of buyers and/or consumers at a point-of-sale. The chapter intends to present the conceptual focus of ‘Buying Brain’ viz., Neuro Marketing, the role of ‘Memes’ in buying decisions, besides the tools and techniques adopted in persuading Buyers as Consumers and/or Prosumers that remain unearthed and unexplored.
