Published: January 2019

A qualidade ambiental de uma bacia hidrográfica está diretamente relacionada as atividades produzidas sobre o uso e ocupação de suas terras. Com isto, o objetivo principal deste trabalho foi demonstrar a pesquisadores de Moçambique como verificar a qualidade ambiental da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Monapo, na província de Nampula em Moçambique-África. As metodologias utilizadas foram: a identificação das principais características físicas; aplicação do Protocolo de Avaliação Rápida (PARs); e cálculo de vazão. Como resultado, verificou-se que medição de vazão somente foi possível nos pontos próximos a foz do Rio Monapo, devido a presença de água corrente. Conforme os dados do PAR no trecho entre o ponto 6 a 8 a bacia pode ser classificada como impactado. Por meio deste relato de experiência, foi possível concluir que a bacia hidrográfica apresenta impactos ambientais provenientes das atividades antrópicas locais, e que para melhores resultados serão necessários novos campos de análise e adequação do PAR. A B S T R A C T The environmental quality of a river basin is directly related to activities such as the use and occupation of its lands. Thus, the main objective of this work was to demonstrate to Mozambican researchers how to verify the environmental quality of the Monapo River Basin, in the province of Nampula in Mozambique-Africa. The methodologies used included: identification of the main physical characteristics; implementation of the Rapid Assessment Protocol (RAPs) and flow calculation. As a result, it was verified that flow measurement was only possible at points close to the mouth of the Monapo river, due to the presence of water current. Accordingly, RAP data in the section between points 6 and 8 of the basin can be classified as impacted. Through this experience report, it was possible to conclude that the river basin presents environmental impacts from local anthropic activities, and that for better results, new fields of analysis and adequacy of RAP are required. Key words: Hydrographic basin, environmental quality, anthropic activities.
On the Best Life
Authors: Berger Chris 
Published: January 2019

In order to find a thorough treatment of the good life, arguably the subject of political science, we must have recourse to the ancients. Aristotle directly addresses and thematizes the concept of “the good life” in his Nicomachean Ethics, wherein it is suggested that the best possible life for a human being is one that is lived in accordance with a human being’s natural function, that is, logos. This paper implements Aristotle’s definition of the good life in order to suggest that it presents us with not merely a viable but a superior alternative to the relativistic language of “lifestyles” and “values” that dominates contemporary political theory. This paper will first establish a framework within which the best life for a human being may be understood, then proceed to explain the inadequacy of relativism as a way of conceiving of the best life and the relationship between the best life and the best person. The argument will conclude by making a case for the importance of the best life as a topic worthy of pursuit in both theory and practice.

Creating a socially, and economically attractive environment can help cities prosper. This essay explores the development impediments that Edmonton has experienced in the last few essays. Specifically Edmonton's focus on suburbanization has put Edmonton at a competitive disadvantage internationally. However, with strategies explored, Edmonton can drastically improve its quality of life.
Why Ukraine Surrendered Security: A Methodological Individualist Approach to Nuclear Disarmament
Authors: Gibbs Daniel 
Published: January 2019

After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Ukraine found itself in possession of the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal. By 1994, Ukraine had surrendered its entire nuclear arsenal to its historical enemy, Russia. This phenomenon has largely escaped scrutiny. At a time in world history when the question of nuclear proliferation and disarmament has again come to the forefront of international politics, it is important to reexamine the case of Ukrainian disarmament in which standard paradigms of international relations fail to satisfactorily explain historical events. Only by applying the underutilized individual level of analysis can Ukrainian disarmament be clearly understood.
Plato’s Case Against the Philosopher King
Authors: Berger Chris 
Published: January 2019

Liberal democracies afford their citizens the opportunity to reflect seriously upon the perennial questions of politics and the fundamental alternatives. However, an unfortunate trend, indeed observable in both practical politics and the social sciences, has seen political philosophy largely supplanted by ideology, the co-opting of philosophic thought for partisan ends. Political philosophy is the serious reflection upon and inquiry into the core theme of political thought and practice: the best way to live and the regime that conduces to it. This paper seeks to demonstrate by example the possibility of preserving the serious study of political questions by challenging the dominant scholarly interpretation of Plato’s political philosophy as presenting the philosopher king as the solution to the political problem. By offering some cursory remarks on Plato’s Apology and Republic in order to suggest that philosophic rule is not a serious prescription for political action, this paper argues that Plato’s aim is not to propose a doctrine but to compel us to reflect on the nature of politics, the permanent political questions, and the fundamental alternatives available to the human condition.
Making Liberal Democracy Ethical: Aristotle on the Unity of Ethics and Politics
Authors: Berger Chris 
Published: January 2019

Contemporary liberal democracy recognizes a fundamental distinction between matters of “public” and “private” domain that amounts to a separation of ethics from politics. Such a distinction is, however, a recent one insofar as the history of political thought is concerned. Political and ethical matters can and in fact have been thought of and practiced as a single project. Aristotle is one philosopher who has approached ethics and politics not as two distinct subjects but as a single unified project: the project of living well. This essay examines Aristotle’s ethical-political project and engages with contemporary thinkers who have grappled with Aristotle’s political philosophy as a possible remedy for the problems currently confronting liberal democratic politics. It argues that the best remedy for the ills of liberal democracy that arise out of the continued prevalence of relativism in liberal democratic discourse is a re-thinking of liberal education that unites ethical and political considerations. The author contends that Aristotle’s political philosophy offers us a vantage point from which this unity may be perceived and, hopefully, implemented.
The Unite the Right Movement and the Brokerage of Social Conservative Voices Within the New Conservative Party of Canada
Authors: Devaney Laura 
Published: January 2019

2003 marked a year of significant change in the political landscape, particularly for the Canadian right. After ten years of division, the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada (PCs) and the Canadian Alliance united to create the Conservative Party of Canada. This union required a balancing of the interests of both of its founding parties who, on certain issues, espoused very different views. One important example of this was social conservatism. In this paper, the author examines the new party’s attempt to balance the two parties’ differing opinions on social conservatism. In order to accomplish this, the paper first examines the differences between the two parties, and then examines how conflicting interests were resolved under the banner of the ‘New Conservative Party.’ The author concludes that by deliberately declarin socially conservative issues beyond the scope of party policy, the new conservative party has been able to strike a balance between the interests of the voting population and the interests of its more socially conservative members, who are able to express their preferences by means of a free vote.

In addition, this letter highlights new initiatives at the University of Alberta as well as showcasing the excellence of research that is presently being performed by students at our institution.
Bmpr1bb is a novel gene involved in retinoic acid induced patterning of the zebrafish hindbrain
Authors: Teitge Braden 
Published: January 2019

Retinoic acid signalling plays a critical role during zebrafish development. The teratogenic effects of retinoic acid have been demonstrated by embryonic deformation resulting from insufficient or excessive levels of this vitamin A derivative. During embryogenesis, bone morphogenetic proteins are closely linked to the physiological interpretation of RA gradients, particularly in the hindbrain. We describe an uncharacterized gene, Bmpr1bb, as being significantly downregulated in response to retinoic acid treatment. In situ expression demonstrates that Bmpr1bb is expressed ubiquitously at 10hpf, and is slowly downregulated until 48hpf where the expression is concentrated in the hindbrain. We propose that Bmpr1bb is a downstream target of RA signalling, strongly downregulated during embryogenesis and specified to a specific region of the hindbrain.

Published: January 2019

In today’s digital world, technology has contributed to an expanded understanding of literacy. Besides having literacy skills, today’s students – millennials - also need technology skills for communicating, investigating, accessing, and using information, thinking critically about messages inherent in new media. Teachers and staff development need to learn the use of technology as well as guiding and opening the students’ perspective where the technology will help them to support the Muslim world. The use of ICT is not only to create the generation with the advanced knowledge in technology but also to have the Islamic character in the future. It is bringing about new opportunity for educators, because it can provide powerful support to educational innovation in creating future generation with Islamic characters. In short, this article is mainly about how the convergence of both literacy instruction and ICT in staff development can help in promoting future generation with Islamic characters.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Bolan Medical College, Quetta, Balochistan. Period: February 2016 to August 2016. Methodology: Undergraduate medical Students of 2nd, 3rd and final profession MBBS at Bolan Medical College, Quetta.Multistage stratified random sampling method was used; making a total sample size of 166. A self-administered questionnaire was used with item responses based on 4-point Likert Scale for the number of times a clinical skill was performed and 3-point Likert scale for the number of times a clinical skill competence was perceived by the performer respectively. The questionnaire contains mainly three parts. The first part mainly contained information on socio demographic data like age, gender, monthly income, marital status; student’s year of study and completed clinical clerkship. The second part contained information regarding clinical and procedural skills that is physical skills examination and the third part includes information about the number of times a clinical skill is performed and the competence achieved or not by the participant. SPSS version 16 was used to carry out the statistical analysis. Results: Among nine listed basic physical examination skills, both 2nd and 3rdproff students were having low exposure or experience i.e< 50% have performed the skills at least two times and among 12 listed procedural skills only 4thproff (final year) students were having high level of experience i.e ≥ 70% have performed the skills. Among 9 listed basic physical examination skills, only 4thproff (final year) students were having high level of competence i.e ≥ 70% reported to be very confident. Similarly among 12 listed procedural skills the 4thproff (final year) students were having high level of competence i.e ≥ 70% reported to be very confident. There was a strong positive linear correlation between level of exposure and self-perceived competence (r=0.92). Conclusion: The level of performing the basic physical skills and clinical procedures was low for majority of the variables. However, on several occasions an important clear connection was appeared performing physical skills and practical course of action and confidence level of students.

Authors: Sidhu Gagandeep Kaur , Singh A.K. , Singh Manpreet 
Published: January 2019

This work was undertaken to evaluate the effect of milling speed on the quality and shelf life of maize flour. Maize flour was prepared using low speed mini flour mill at 75 and 115 rpm and the results were compared with the flour prepared by commercial flour mill on the basis of recovery of flour, rise in temperature of flour, time taken, particle size distribution and changes in different quality parameters during storage. It was observed from the analysis that the recovery of flour was highest (95.26%) at 75 rpm speed although the time taken was more i.e. 27.27 minutes, but the rise in temperature during milling was very less (12.240C) as compared to commercial mill the temperature rose up to 31.120C. It was noted that the maize flour prepared at low speed was light yellow in color as compared to higher rpm which was dark yellow. The maize flour prepared at 75 rpm can be stored in low density polyethylene LDPE packaging material of (200 gauge) for two months without change in quality parameters. It was observed that the moisture content, protein content, fat content, alcoholic acidity and carbohydrates was significantly affected by storage time, packaging material and milling speed at P<0.05. Therefore, at low speed the storage stability as well as nutritional properties of the flour can be enhanced. The improved shelf life of flour can result in better marketability.
