Conflating class, culture and ethnicity: Casual and culinary forms of racism in Alice Pung’s Laurinda
Authors: Schwegler-Castañer Astrid 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Literature can function as a lens through which social values are mediated. This characteristic acquires particular relevance in the case of children’s and young adult literatures as the world-view of the young readership is especially susceptible to the ideologies articulated in literary works. This article investigates the critical depiction of Australian multicultural society in Alice Pung’s novel Laurinda (2014). By analysing the role of food in both the novel’s plot and its figurative language, the article explores the novel’s illustration of the alienation of Asian minorities that is triggered by instances of overt and casual racism. The tangibility of foodways enables the illustration of how a lack of interaction between distinct social classes and ethnic groups is conducive to an absence of cross-group understanding that contributes towards the conflation of class, cultural and racial differences and prevents the achievement of the multicultural dream.
‘Dressing up’ two democratic First Ladies: Fashion as political performance in America
Authors: Rall Denise N. , Coghlan Jo , Hackett Lisa J. , Boyd Annita 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
An American First Lady, argues Karin Vasby Anderson, ‘influences conceptions of American womanhood’ and by ‘virtue of their husband’s elections[,] First Ladies become sites for the symbolic negotiation of female identity’. The process of negotiation in female identity appears in various forms after women assume political power, for example: Golda Meir in Israel, Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom, Indira Gandhi in India and most recently, Australia’s first female Prime Minister, Julia Gillard (2010–13). While the position of First Lady is unique to American politics, the ways in which Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama each rejected a ‘suitably feminine’ image provides an important lesson for all women in power. Therefore, we argue here that this analysis of two Democratic American First Ladies and their employment or disregard of fashion informs the gender-based and race-based issues affecting women in political leadership through their choices in dress. When ‘dressing up’ both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama struggled with issues of individual identity, subjectivity and power, and negotiated their First Lady roles in their fashion.
Life’s no beach: (Un)popular reality television of the Australian beach
Authors: Ellison Elizabeth 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Australian national identity has a long history of being intrinsically tied with landscape, and this is captured in representations of Australia in popular culture. Predominantly, representations of Australia have heavily featured the rural Outback, with television remakes of classic films recently released, such as Wake in Fright (2017) and Picnic at Hanging Rock (2018) suggesting there is still interest in this idea of an alien and terrifying Outback environment. And yet, most Australians live in coastal regions, many of which form the edge of urban hubs. The Australian beach plays an important role in establishing national identity in part because of its role as a gateway between the natural and the urban. Morris called the Australian beach ‘ordinary’, while Fiske et al. instead include the beach as one of the ‘myths of Oz’. The beach, therefore, inhabits a complex position in Australian imagination as both an ordinary part of Australian lives as well as a mythically beautiful locale for many Australians and tourists alike. Reality television has become an increasingly popular contemporary mode of storytelling and, despite its global dominance, the genre’s tendency to localize content can therefore reveal elements of Australian cultural identity. However, reality television programmes specifically set on the Australian beach have had varying levels of success, ranging from the strikingly popular Bondi Rescue (2006–present) and Bondi Vet (2009–present) to the almost immediately cancelled The Shire (2012) and Being Lara Bingle (2012). This article examines how these texts represent the complexities of the Australian beach through an analysis of representations of the ordinary, the mythic and the body.
Game of Thrones and the hidden apocalypse
Authors: Baker Sarah , Rutherford Amanda 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011–present) is based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire (1996–ongoing) book series. This Gothic fantasy world, which is based in a medieval-like period, where a struggle for the iron throne of Westeros is marked by a kingdom-wide civil war that encompasses wave after wave of massacres, betrayals and clandestine affairs, has become a popular culture phenomenon. The presence of ‘priests’ and ‘priestesses’ through the storyline provide religious undertones with the predatory, hive-minded zombie White Walkers being the key threat to the kingdom from the frozen north. Apocalyptic scenarios in popular culture have often been secularized, however, Martin explores the mysteries of what it is to be human and the fragility of existence by using religion as a central plot element, which this article will explore. Buried truths come to the fore in the ultimate battle of the living against the dead, and the trajectory of the narrative highlights the plot’s impending apocalyptic event, bringing otherwise enemies together. The article explores the connections made between the characters to that of biblical texts from the Book of Revelation in the Bible, and the prophesized destruction of the earth.

STUDI PERTUKARAN SOSIAL DAN PERAN NILAI AGAMA DALAM MENJAGA KERUKUNAN ANTAR KELOMPOK UMAT BERAGAMA DI MANADO
Authors: Sari Wulan Purnama 
Published: August 2018

Isu rasial memiliki potensi konflik yang sangat tinggi, khususnya di Indonesia yang memiliki keberagaman tinggi sehingga potensi akan konflik menjadi lebih tinggi. Keberagaman yang dimiliki Indonesia ini menjadi tantangan tersendiri dalam mewujudkan kerukunan. Setiap agama bahkan mengajarkan tentang pentingnya kerukunan. Sedangkan dalam teori pertukaran sosial diketahui bahwa interaksi manusia dilandaskan pada prinsip pertukaran, dimana penghargaan dimaksimalkan dan biaya dihindari. Kemudian dalam hal menjaga kerukunan faktor peran nilai agama atau faktor pertukaran sosial yang lebih memiliki peran dalam kerukunan di Manado. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep dasar teori kerukunan, nilai agama, dan pertukaran sosial. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bawah kerukunan dapat tercipta di Manado karena faktor sejarah, pendidikan, peran orang tua yang mengajarkan nilai-nilai hidup orang Manado, nilai ajaran agama, serta peran dari para opinion leader yang turut menjaga kerukunan. Penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa antara Suku Minahasa dengan suku pendatang yang berbeda agama terjadi pertukaran sosial, dimana suku Minahasa melakukan pertukaran ini dengan dasar keuntungan terciptanya lingkungan yang damai dan rukun serta menaati nilai dan ajaran agama. Racial issues have very high potential for conflict, especially in Indonesia which has high diversity, so the potential for conflict will be higher. The diversity of Indonesia is a challenge in creating harmony. Every religion even teaches about the importance of harmony. Whereas in social exchange theory it is known that human interaction is based on the principle of exchange, in which rewards are maximized and costs are avoided. Then in terms of maintaining the harmony factor of the role of religious values or social exchange factors that have more role in harmony in Manado. This study uses the basic concepts of the theory of harmony, religious values, and social exchange. The method used is qualitative method with data collection technique through interview and observation. The results show that harmony can be created in Manado due to historical factors, education, the role of parents who teach the values of the Manado life, the value of religious teachings, and the role of opinion leaders who helped maintain harmony. The study also shows that between the Minahasa tribe and the tribe of different religions occurs social exchanges, in which the Minahasa ethnic group exchanges this with the basis of the benefits of creating a peaceful and harmonious environment and adhering to religious values and teachings.

Wspomnienie roli, jaką odegrał profesor Władysław Kuraszkiewicz w początkowym okresie białorutenistycznych badań gwaroznawczych w Polsce
Authors: Smułkowa Elżbieta 
Published: August 2018

Post-war research on Belarusian dialects in Poland using linguistic geography methods was launched in the 1950s by Prof. Antonina Obrębska-Jabłońska and her associates at the Polish-Soviet Institute in Warsaw. Before long, the institute’s Eastern Slavic sections were transferred to the Slavic Studies Unit of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where this work was continued. The main source of information on Eastern Slavic dialects between the Bug and Narew rivers, i.e. in the southern part of the area planned to be included in field studies, was Władysław Kuraszkiewicz’s article from 1939. In this work the Professor discussed the accentually determined development of Belarusian and Ukrainian diphthongs and the position-dependent depalatalization of consonants as well as mentioning preserved relics of infinitive forms of the it’`ie and peč`ye type, which in a subsequent work he explained as being a relic of the Jatzvingian (Yotvingian) language. The present paper highlights the merits of the distinguished Polish Slavic studies scholar, Professor Władysław Kuraszkiewicz, as a person, researcher and teacher.
A Study on Prof. Mattessich’s and Prof. Ijiri’s Theoretical Researches with Regard to A Recent Book
Authors: Galassi Giuseppe 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The recent book mentioned in the title is by Prof. Garcia Nohora, Understanding Mattessich and Ijiri: A Study of Accounting Thought, Emerald Publishing, Bingley, U. K., 2018. Richard Mattessich’s “Accounting and Analitycal Methods” (1964) and Yuji Ijiri’s “Theory of Accounting Measurement” (1975), contributed to the debate on the foundational research in accounting and management science. Through the axiomatics they introduced a requirement of a rigorous standard for effective and reliable accounting and management science knowledge. The major practical consequences are linked to the less rigorous FASB conceptual framework. Prof. Garcia investigates also the internal and external environmental conditions where Mattessich and Ijiri could develop their researches.
3D Heat Conductivity Model of Mold Based on Node Temperature Inheritance
Authors: Xiao Pengcheng , Liu Zengxun , Zhu Liguang , Wang Zepeng , Piao Zhanlong 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
A novel 3D conductive heat transfer model was developed based on node temperature inheritance. Heat transfer of the mold and billet could be analyzed synchronously. In the model, heat transfer in the copper wall was in a steady state, whereas heat transfer in the billet was in a transient state. The temperature distribution indicated that the maximum temperature on the copper wall reached approximately 30 mm below the meniscus. The results were in better agreement with industrially measured data than those of traditional 2D heat transfer models. The model was applied to study the effect of water scale on heat transfer of a billet mold. When the scale thickness increased from 0 to 0.5 mm, the maximum temperature on the copper wall increased from 174 °C to 364 °C, which will lead to mold deformation and peeling of the coating. In addition, the shell thickness slightly decreased with increasing scale thickness.
Euro Area Growth Signals from Industrial Production: Warnings from a Comparison of Gross Value Added and Production
Authors: de Bondt Gabe Jacob , Kosekova Stanimira Vasileva 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis study compares industrial production and gross value added in volume terms in the euro area and euro area countries, because real GDP growth signals from industrial production growth might be misleading and earlier released industrial production growth is not one-to-one translated into industrial value added growth. This is an important issue for analysts and policy makers, because industrial production is a standard element in tools for nowcasting real GDP in real time. It also raises the question about the factors explaining these differences. Differences in terms of (changes in) quarterly growth between production and gross value added include sign reversals and can last for consecutive quarters. Persistent level differences might also exist. The explanatory factors for these differences are the treatment of prices, seasonality and coverage. Data limitations prevent a detailed analysis of the price factor, but the other two factors are more closely evaluated. It turns out that the relative importance of these factors varies over time and thus is difficult to assess ex ante for a specific quarter. A remedy is that statisticians further harmonize national accounts and short-term statistics as well as national practices for seasonal adjustment.
Genetic risk in insurance field

Published: August 2018

Abstract
The risk-delimiting tools available to insurance companies are therefore substantial and it is also possible to argue that a margin of uncertainty is a natural component of the insurance contract.
Despite this, businesses look at the potential of predictive medicine, and in particular the growing understanding of genetic mechanisms that support many common diseases.
In particular, the rapid development of genetics has led many insurance companies to glimpse in the predictive diagnosis of disease by genetic testing the possibility of extending the calculation of the individual risk of developing a particular disease to appropriate premiums or even denying insurance coverage.
Genetic testing and professional responsibility: the italian experience
Authors: Bin Paola , Conti Adelaide , Capasso Emanuele , Fedeli Piergiorgio , Ceccarelli Pierdomenico , Policino Fabio , Casella Claudia , Delbon Paola 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
Responsibility means responding to the damaging consequences of technical work and in this binding perspective the general principles of guilt in genetic diagnostics and related activities are not different from any other medical performance.
Performing a genetic test however, especially when it has predictive characteristics, offers absolutely peculiar technical deontological issues. It is not and should not be considered as a mere habitual laboratory test but as a complex set of interactions that presupposes adequate information as a valid consensus to formalize absolutely in written form.
Plasmonic nano-arrays for ultrasensitive bio-sensing

Published: August 2018

AbstractSurface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized SPR (LSPR) effects have been shown as the principles of some highlysensitive sensors in recent decades. Due to the advances in nano-fabrication technology, the plasmon nano-array sensors based on SPR and LSPR phenomena have been widely used in chemical and bioloical analysis. Sensing with surface-enhanced field and sensing for refractive index changes are able to identify the analytes quantitatively and qualitatively. With the newly developed ultrasensitive plasmonic biosensors, platforms with excellent performance have been built for various biomedical applications, including point-of-care diagnosis and personalized medicine. In addition, flexible integration of plasmonics nano-arrays and combining them with electrochemical sensing have significantly enlarged the application scenarios of the plasmonic nano-array sensors, as well as improved the sensing accuracy.
Much Ado about the Egyptian Pound: Exchange Rate Misalignment and the Path Towards Equilibrium
Authors: Noureldin Diaa 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
This paper estimates Egypt's equilibrium real exchange rate and exchange rate misalignment based on economic fundamentals over the period 2001Q3–2017Q3. Focusing on the more recent period, we find that the Egyptian pound was undervalued by about 22.3% in 2017Q1 due to overshooting its equilibrium value after floating the currency in 2016Q4. The currency undervaluation then declined to 18.5% in 2017Q3 driven by an increase in the real effective exchange rate due to a surge in domestic inflation. With regard to the determinants of the equilibrium real exchange rate, we find the productivity differential (vis-à-vis Egypt's trade partners) and trade openness to be the most significant factors. We also provide projections for the equilibrium real exchange rate and exchange rate misalignment until 2020Q4, which reveal that the exchange rate undervaluation will be dissipating fast due to high inflation. If the nominal exchange rate stabilizes at its level in 2017Q3 (17.73 pounds per US dollar), the currency will be overvalued by 13.1% in 2020Q4. Given the uncertainty surrounding the projections, a forecast combination approach is also presented. Finally, the paper highlights the implications of the empirical findings for the conduct of monetary policy in Egypt.
Hongos endófitos foliares como candidatos a biocontroladores contra <i>Moniliophthora</i> spp. de <i>Theobroma cacao</i> (Malvaceae) en Ecuador
Authors: Villavicencio Vásquez Mirian , Espinoza Lozano Rodrigo , Sosa del Castillo Daynet , Pérez Martínez Simón 
Published: August 2018

La adaptabilidad de los hongos endófitos a sus hospedantes, los beneficios ecológicos que le brinda y los diversos mecanismos antagónicos contra plagas que poseen los convierten en una alternativa para el control biológico de enfermedades. Se determinó el potencial de 17 cepas de hongos endofíticos foliares (FEF) obtenidas de tejido sano de Theobroma cacao como candidatas para el control biológico de Moniliophthora roreri (MR) y M. perniciosa (MP). Se evaluaron: i) el micoparasitismo de los FEF frente a colonias de Moniliophthora spp., ii) la acción de los metabolitos crudos de los FEF en el crecimiento, y iii) la habilidad para recolonizar hojas sanas del hospedante mediante ensayos de hojas sueltas. Tres cepas de Lasiodiplodia theobromae fueron las más promisorias: Ec098, Ec151 and Ec157. Estas cepas inhibieron el crecimiento de MR y MP, tanto en el enfrentamiento de las colonias como mediante sus metabolitos y, adicionalmente, recolonizaron el hospedante entre el 80-100 % de las veces. Otras cepas mostraron valores destacados en un indicador, y no deseables en otros. Por ejemplo, la Ec035 (L. theobromae) mostró los niveles más altos de micoparasitismo contra ambos patógenos en la interacción de las colonias, y el segundo mejor por sus metabolitos, pero no pudo reinfectar el hospedante. La cepa Ec059 (Xylaria feejeensis) reinfectó 100 %, pero no mostró los atributos deseados de antagonismo. Por su parte, los metabolitos de Ec107 (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides s.l.) inhibieron a MR en un 60 %, pero también estimularon el crecimiento de MP. Ninguna cepa logró todas las características deseables para un agente de control biológico.
