Writing ecological disfigurement: First Nations poetry after ‘the black grass of bitumen’
Authors: Johnson Amanda 
Published: December 2021

This article examines selected First Nations poetries, showing how intertextual parodic language strategies, dynamic elegy and polyphonic poetic registers critique proleptic environmental mourning, simplistic environmental apocalypticism and compromised visions of political reconciliation – ‘all this potplanting in our sovereignty’, as Evelyn Araluen (2020b, p. 81) describes it. Alison Whittaker, Jeanine Leane, Evelyn Araluen, Ellen van Neerven, Alexis Wright and others are also shown as inheritors of the environmental-activist poetries of Oodgeroo, Kevin Gilbert and Lionel Fogarty. I analyse how each of these poets represents Country in a ‘permanently disfigured state’ (Daniels & Lorimer, 2012, p. 5), bearing witness to environments that exist after settler ‘nature’, dismantling Western theologies of poetic nature alongside. To wit, I also show how poems assert temporal vantage points outside the linear telos and material endgames of extractive colonial time, reinforcing enduring and intrinsic spiritual fealty with Country, community and ‘ancestor time’. In Ali Cobby Eckermann’s words, ‘These poems are taking the time. They are honouring the story’ (2020, p. 147).
Ideas, language, action: The protest poetry of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter
Authors: Miller Alyson 
Published: December 2021

The notion of poetry as protest is not new – Percy Bysshe Shelley famously advocated for radical social action in ‘The Masque of Anarchy’ (1819), for example, a response to the brutality of the Peterloo massacre. Far from making nothing happen, Audre Lorde notes that ‘poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought’; the form ‘is not a luxury’ but a ‘vital necessity’ from which ideas, language, and action might be wrought (1985). Certainly, in the context of #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter, poetry has occupied a central role in the expression of trauma and injustice, offering a critical means through which to speak truth to power, particularly from the margins, and via non-traditional publishing platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. This article argues that much of the protest poetry of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter activism operates in two key intersecting ways: as a transgressive variation of contemporary (anti-)elegy, and as a virtual performance drawing upon the network-building functions of social media. In both capacities, it is a form which resists the consolations of closure to demonstrate the ongoing social realities of systemic racism and sexism. Focussing on a range of poems which enact resistance, this article explores the ‘boundary-breaking potential’ of the elegiac performances of protest poetry, in which the ‘possibilities of a more equitable what could be take shape’ (Rutter et al., 2019, p. 24).
An Exploratory Analysis of Scripps Spelling Bee Winners, 1925–2019: Is There Evidence of Asian American Overrepresentation?
Authors: Hartlep Nicholas D. , Ball Daisy B. , Wells Kevin E. , Wilk Hannah M. , Hensley Brandon O. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe model minority stereotype of Asian Americans, especially South Asian Americans, is central to society’s characterization of them as precocial spellers. The Scripps National Spelling Bee is a prestigious event where the best spellers from across the United States face off in a high-stakes and highly-televised spelling competition. In this article, the researchers analyze the demographic and geographic characteristics of the winners of this competition. Included in the analyses are responses to questions such as: Are Scripps National Spelling Bee winners more likely to be males or females? Asians or non-Asians? And, what is the average age of winners? Results show that the demographic backgrounds of Scripps National Spelling Bee winners have changed over time, most acutely during the 1980s. Although Asian Americans have been winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee in record numbers in recent years, we problematize both the characterization that they are overrepresented as winners, and the characterization that they are “model minorities.”
The Grapes of Wrath
Authors: Diver Alice , Bradshaw with Jules 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The novel's central focus allows it to seek compassion for displaced, vulnerable groups. This does not detract from its complexity: it remains a well-crafted, increasingly relevant work, worthy of the praise, criticism, and controversies that continue to surround it. By documenting the harsh realities of the era, the novel calls to mind, however, those UN Country Reports that describe and denounce avoidable landscapes of poverty, hunger, homelessness, and dispossession against a framework of human rights law and policy. The novel's prescient warnings encompass not only the humanitarian crises brought about by climate change and unethical commercial practices, but also the ongoing global atrocities (wars, corrupt regimes, ethnic cleansing, and displacement of populations) that still serve to spark and underpin refugee existence and a chronic disregard for human dignity. As such, it requires the reader to judge those responsible and to evaluate the failings of the various global and domestic systems that enable and perpetuate such rights violations. The final scene, rich with symbolism, arguably, serves almost as quasi-courtroom: readers must serve as jurors rather than silent witnesses, if only to apportion blame for all that has gone before (or indeed continues to happen, almost a century later).

Published: December 2021

An attempt has been made to study the variation in daily mean temperatures obtained from maximum and minimum temperatures and that obtained from hourly temperatures recorded by the automatic weather station at the Agrometeorological Observatory, Anand (Gujarat).

The mean temperatures obtained from the records of daily maximum and minimum temperatures were higher and fluctuated from -1.5 to 1.5 °C during the months of September to May as compared to the respective values obtained from hourly temperatures recorded by the automatic weather station. However, during May to September, these daily mean temperatures were found to be higher than mean temperatures obtained from the automatic weather station. Different coefficients were deduced from the records of the automatic weather station to estimate the hourly temperatures and a model was developed similar to that of William and Logan (1981). The hourly temperatures and the daily mean temperatures so estimated were in good agreement with the respective actual hourly and daily temperatures record by the automatic weather station.
Therefore, by using this model one could estimate the true daily mean temperature from the records of maximum and minimum temperatures.

Among the various characteristics that determine the overall accuracy and performance of a pyranometer, the strict adherence to the cosine law is an important one. But this cosine response is difficult to realize and to correct for, The cosine response of various types of pyranormeters available at Pune was determined on the optical set up in Central Radiation Laboratory. The results of these studies are presented briefly.
Model calculations of non-cloud radiative forcing due to anthropogenic sulphate aerosol
Authors: RAJEEVAN M. 
Published: December 2021

Anthropogenic sulphate aerosol particles scatter incoming solar radiation thereby perturbing the radiative budget, hence climate. We have used a three dimensional radiative transfer model together with the sulphate concentration fields simulated by two independent chemistry-transport models to calculate the annual cycle of the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic sulphate aerosol. The calculated forcing pattern shows large peaks over the eastern United States, southeast Europe and eastern China. The calculated annual global-mean radiative forcing is -0.50 Wm-2 for Langner and Rodhe (1991) data and -0.49 Wm-2 for Penner et el. [1994 (a&b)] data. The forcing was found to vary with season, with a larger forcing during northern hemispheric summer than winter. Sulphate aerosol also appreciably perturbs the lower tropospheric heating rates over northern hemispheric mid-latitudes. The forcing was also found to be sensitive to the global cloud cover and to the optical properties of the aerosol. The possible sources of the differences in magnitude with previous estimates are discussed. Over northern hemispheric mid-latitudes, the negative radiative forcing due to the direct effect of aerosols appreciably offsets the positive forcing due to increase in greenhouse gases.
A 26-layer radiative-convective model (RCM) was also used to examine the equilibrium temperature profiles due to sulphate aerosols and increase in greenhouse gases. It was found that the effect of sulphate aerosols is the cooling of surface-troposphere system. Sulphate aerosols reduce the tropospheric warming and enhance the stratospheric cooling caused by increase in greenhouse gases.
Effective terrestrial radiant energy at the ground at Pune
Authors: DESIKAN V. , CHIVATE V. R. 
Published: December 2021

The effective outgoing terrestrial radiant energy controls the variations in other meteorological parameters near the ground surface. In the absence of direct measurements of this energy, the values are derived from other radiation parameters that are being measured at Pune. On an average day the loss of this terrestrial energy is of the order of 8.5 MJm-2. The maximum of 12.53 MJm-2 is reached in April and the minimum of 3.87 MJm-2 during August. The daily maximum occurs at noon or just after that. Year-to-year variations however depend on the rainfall distribution and the moisture in the air.
Cultural Differences in EFL Teaching Methods between Korean and Non-Korean Teachers
Authors: Jeffery Thomas S. 
Published: December 2021

This study investigates key cultural differences in teaching between Korean and &ldquo;western&rdquo; teachers, and analyses these via questionnaires given to 35 Korean teachers and 36 non-Korean teachers followed by selected interviews. A significant finding was the emphasis Korean teachers place on testing compared to the &ldquo;Western&rdquo; teachers. The relevant literature explains this through Korea&rsquo;s socio-cultural Confucian context. This study also shows that verbal immediacy, power-distance, uncertainty avoidance and face saving are key elements in Korea&rsquo;s educational culture compared with western approaches to education.&nbsp;
Finally, qualitative data shows a strong preference by Korean teachers to move away from more traditional aspects of the classroom environment toward an approach where creative and critical thinking can be enabled.

Decision making on the distant future. Presentence reports regarding the behavior-influencing and freedom-restricting measure
In the Netherlands, the behavior-influencing and freedom-restricting measure (GVM) came into effect on 1 January 2018. The purpose of this measure is to enable long-term, if necessary, lifelong monitoring of perpetrators of sexual and serious violent crimes with a high risk of recidivism. The probation service advises on imposition and implementation of the measure. This article describes results of a small scale study on arguments that are used in practice to advise the GVM. The central question is whether the legislator provides probation officers with sufficient tools for substantiated advice to the court.
Contemporary State of Preservation of the Lichen Biota in the Eastern Part of the “Paprocie Serpentynitowe w Masywie Ślęży” Ecological Area
Authors: Terlecka Maria , Szczepańska Katarzyna 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the contemporary conditions of the lichen biota in the eastern part of the “Paprocie Serpentynitowe w Masywie Ślęży” ecological area in the Sudetes Foothills. The studies were carried out at three localities selected from 10 sites that were designed to protect the
Asplenium
fern genus. A total of 47 lichen species were found in the three localities. For each of the recorded species, the state of preservation in the Ślęża Massif area was assessed according to three factors: frequency at all three localities, general viability of the thalli, and stability in occurrence on the habitat. Stability was defined based on contemporary and historical data. From the analysis, most of the species (17) were classified as taxa with “moderate preservation status” in the study area. However, the preservation status of the 18 newly recorded taxa was defined as “insufficient data” due to the lack of previous records. Other species received a “very good preservation status” (three taxa) and “good preservation status” (nine taxa). The analyses allowed us to document the current number of taxa, determine their health condition, and indicate trends in the transformation within the lichen biota of the serpentinite rocks in the study area. Moreover, some actions were proposed to actively protect the valuable lichens in the ecological area of “Paprocie Serpentynitowe w Masywie Ślęży.”

Objective: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are still the main cause of mortality in the world. Scoring systems are important for risk evaluation in ACS. Angiographic The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (SYNTAX) score is universal. For cardiac pump function, left ventricular (LV) longitudinal shortening has a major role. It can be assessed by some echocardiographic parameters. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) is well defined for the LV longitudinal function evaluation and clues with LV systolic function. In this study, we aimed to research the relationship between SYNTAX score and MAPSE in Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients.
Methods: 138 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography after diagnosis of NSTEMI were included. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to all patients by an experienced physician who was uninformed patient’s data. Coronary angiography via the femoral approach was performed for all patients within 48 hours. ≥ 50% coronary lesion stenosis in vessels ≥ 1.5 mm was scored separately and SYNTAX scores were obtained.
Results: The median age was 64.5 (54.0-70.8) years and 80.4% were male. Hypertension was the most common risk factor (72.5%). Left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis was the most common artery stenosis (58.7%). The mean MAPSE was 14.0 (13.0-15.8) and the mean SYNTAX score was 10.0 (7.0-14). Correlation of our outcome variable SYNTAX score between physiological and clinical variables of age, troponin and LVEF were calculated. No significant p value was detected. The relationship between SYNTAX Score and categorical variables such as gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, left main coronary artery (LMCA), LAD, right coronary artery (RCA), circumflex artery (CX), peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was evaluated. None of the variables included in the regression model were associated with the SYNTAX score
Conclusion: In this study, we have investigated the relationship between MAPSE and SS in NSTEMI patients. No significant correlation was found between MAPSE and SS.
Iusta causa traditionis: Obligačný právny úkon zaväzujúci k prevodu vlastníctva alebo účel odovzdania?
Authors: Kleňová Veronika 
Published: December 2021

Nesprávne pochopenie toho, čo klasické rímske právo ponímalo ako kauzu tradície, viedlo od čias glosy k záveru, že putatívna causa traditionis bola rovnako postačujúca ako skutočne existujúca iusta causa traditionis (tradícia spôsobila prevod vlastníctva, hoci právny dôvod, o ktorom sa strany domnievali, že existuje, v skutočnosti neexistoval). Článok na príklade dotis datio prezentuje rímsky systém iustae causae ako systém účelov odovzdania, ktorý vysvetľuje, prečo klasické rímske právo nepotrebovalo putatívnu kauzu na to, aby traditio dotis causa mohla spôsobiť prevod vlastníctva dokonca aj vtedy, keď veno v dôsledku určitej manželskej prekážky platne nevzniklo.
Koho trápí existence lidských práv?
Authors: Hapla Martin 
Published: December 2021

Článek reaguje na text Marka Káčera „Načo sa trápiť s otázkou existencie ľudských práv?“, kterému vytýká, že dostatečně nerozlišuje mezi různými druhy práv (např. právy legálními a morálními, právy institucionálními a kritickými morálními), což následně vede k některým zmatením, a dále že se vymezuje vůči otázce, kterou si současní filosofové věnující se tématu lidských práv nekladou. Lidská práva totiž v současné filosofii nejsou chápána jako bizarní objekty existující v nějaké obdobě platónské říše idejí, ale jako normy, které platí na základě morálních důvodů. Právě tato pozice je v článku důkladněji představena a analyzována (včetně identifikace některých jejích výhod oproti pragmatickému myšlenkovému rámci, v němž doporučuje uvažovat o lidských právech Marek Káčer).
Tertiary education learning outcomes, a case study: “You want us to think!”
Authors: Mele Marrero Margarita , Rodríguez-Marrero Andrés 
Published: December 2021

Present perceptions about the poor production of university students in the last decades might be the same other professors had in previous centuries. Nonetheless, more corseting forms of assessment and the irruption of new technologies can establish a difference. These factors serve the controversy when blamed for preventing intellectual development, or when also considering that ICTs are the personal mark of new generations of youths who face their outdated dinosaur teachers.
The purpose of this paper is to provide a tentative case analysis of the situation to validate what seems a generalized perception of the decay of tertiary education. Our data will be obtained from answers that students of the third year of a Humanities English degree could not provide. In our approach we will consider the difficulties students have in reaching the highest levels of taxonomies like Bloom’s (1956) or Dreyfus & Dreyfus (1980) with their further modifications. Collaterally we will tackle key competences and forms of assessment. Results will present the dichotomy of maintaining the present progression or, alternatively, think again and take some action.

Published: December 2021

Background: Laparoscopic surgery or "minimally invasive" surgery is a type of specialist surgery. The most crucial, demanding, and risky part of the laparoscopy is the creation of pneumoperitoneum. The two most prevalent methods for creating a pneumoperitoneum are the closed and open approaches. Despite the fact that there is no universal consensus on the best approach to gain access to the peritoneal cavity in order to create a pneumoperitoneum. The aim of present study was to compare the operative time and post-operative outcome associated with closed technique and open classic technique.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial was carried out by recruiting patients presented in surgery department of Ziauddin Hospital North campus. The samples were divided into two equal groups A and B. Group A was operated for Laparascopic abdominal surgery by open technique while group B operated through closed technique. Effectiveness of procedures was measured by number of complications occurred during and after surgery. Chi-square test and independent T-test were applied for association. P-value of < 0.05 was considered as significant.
Results: Mean age was found to be 45.5±16 years and mean weight was 68±10.5 kilograms. Mean time of operations was 84.5±18.5 minutes. 60 (69.8%) of patients included underwent the laparoscopic cholecystectomy while 15 (17.4%) patients had laparoscopic appendectomy. 13/86: 15.1% of patients had the minor complication including 12/43: 27.9% in group B and 1/43: 2.3% in group A. The comparative analysis between the two groups in terms of effectiveness of either method compared by means of development of the complications was found to be highly significant with p value 0.002.
Conclusion: The open approach to laparoscopic entrance has been linked to fewer surgical problems than the closed approach.
