Neo historical fiction: David Mitchell’s take on adventure, empire and the exoticization of the past
Authors: Pérez Ríu María del Carmen 
Published: October 2019

This essay is concerned with a new conception of historical fiction that emerged in the British literary scene at the turn of the 21st century, and which Elodie Rousselot has termed neo-historical, having developed on premises similar to neo-Victorian fiction. This variety embraces a narrative realist mode and participates in the taste for popular engagement in public history. The analysis departs from a consideration of the implications of these critical approaches to historical fiction, in as much as they move backwards, beyond their postmodern foundations, and intersect with the genre of historical romance. This article uses David Mitchell’s The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet(2010) as a case-study in the light of Mitchell’s own conceptualization of the genre of historical fiction. The novel combines a meta-realist approach with the exoticisation of the past and the exploration fictional subjectivities and an awareness of post-imperialist concerns in a globalized world.

Published: October 2019

<p>La fitoterapia representa parte importante de la cultura de un pueblo, siendo también parte de un saber utilizado y difundido por las poblaciones a lo largo de generaciones. El llantén es una hierba originaria de Europa y Asia, una de las especies más conocidas y estudiada es el Plantago major. En Corrientes capital y en el nordeste de Argentina, se utiliza comúnmente una especie de llantén que se denomina Plantago tomentosa Lam., la cual no se cultiva, y se considera una maleza ya que es abundante y accesible. Hay estudios que comprueban sus propiedades antitumoral, antimicrobiana y antiinflamatoria. A pesar de las propiedades terapéuticas de esta planta, existen pocos estudios en nuestro país que evidencien la eficacia de la misma. Resulta importante realizar estudios, debido a que las propiedades descritas en la literatura generarían un aporte significativo a nuestra sociedad y en consecuencia al área de la odontología.</p><p> </p>

Published: October 2019

Introduction: Enterostomal therapy (ET) is the newly evolving subspecialty area of nursing. None of the university started the ET courses in Nepal. Very few ET nurses catering the needs of osteomates in different hospital. Increasing burden of colorectal and urinary bladder cancer increases the ostomy population. There are no definite data regarding the ostomy population in national context. So, this is the neglected area of care in most cancer hospital of Nepal. The objective of this study is to find out the total number of ostomy population in terms of types of ostomies, age, sex, geographical distribution, complications and stoma service availability at BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital.
Methods: A descriptive study was carried out retrospectively at, BP Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Bharatpur Nepal and approved by nursing department. All available data were abstracted from stoma clinic from 2008 to 2018.
Results: There were total 659 ostomates registered in the stoma clinic. Among them majority 63% were male. There were main three categories of ostomate namely colostomies (66.7%) 440, Ileostomies (9.8%) 65 and urostomies (23.3%) 154. Ostomate represented from 56 districts. International osteomate also took services from the clinic. Peristomal skin excoriation, Parastomal hernia, stoma prolapsed were complications reported by the osteomates.
Conclusion. This aspect of ostomy care and management deserves an investment of research to find out the reliable data.

Fine Grain Resistance of Steel 20NiMoCr6-5+Nb (Material No. 1.6757) during Case Hardening depending on Cold Massive Forming∗
Authors: Klenke K. , Kohlmann R. , Wilke F. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Cold massive forming of steel has been used for over 100 years to reduce mechanical finishing for cost reasons. A systematic investigation regarding the austenitic grain coarsening in the following heat treatment steps during the application treatment of e. g. gear steels could not be found, only indications of sporadic qualitative failures. The material 20NiMoCr6-5+Nb for gear shafts was subjected to a simulating treatment for the investigation of cold massive forming. No significant coarse grain growth was observed. Because the degree of cold massive forming at the individual shaft sections was not known, oblique samples were taken from the same bar steel lot, with which degrees of forming could be carried out steplessly from ∊ = 0 to 50 % on a press. After simulation of a high temperature carburization from 990 °C to 1050 °C, no significant coarse grain growth could be observed, only a uniform increase of the grain size index G with increasing temperature at the same holding time. In order to gain further knowledge in the field of modern manufacturing processes on the subject, newly available computer programs should to be used to simulate the production of components from case hardened steels from steel production to the ready to install part and to identify weak points.

Benefit of dorsal laminectomy without lumbosacral stabilization in lumbosacral traumatic cat
Authors: Damrongdej Piyabongkarn 
Published: October 2019

Two cats were diagnosed with depression of caudal equina spinal nerve and lumbosacral spinal trauma that revealed rapid improving clinical signs after 1 month of dorsal laminectomy at the region of lumbar and sacral vertebrae without internal and external stabilization devices. This report showed that dorsal laminectomy was a powerful procedure for decompression caudal equina spinal injuries in stable lumbosacral vertebral trauma in cats without ancillary fixation methods. Dorsal laminectomy is valuable technique for correction of fracture/luxation of vertebrae that this procedure can reduce spinal cord edema, and axonal disruption. Stabilization of vertebrae by the orthopedic implants may be not necessary in small cat that has enough vertebral stability as the same in two these cases.

The field experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Hathazari, Chattagram to find out the efficacy of integration of poultry refuse (PR) with stable bleaching powder (SBP) or CaNO3 and Furadan 5G for the management of bacterial wilt (Ralstoniasolanacearum) and root-knot nematode disease (Meloidogyne incognita) of brinjal. Soil was treated with PR @ 3 t/ha 3 weeks before transplanting, stable bleaching powder @ 20 kg/ha during final land preparation and Furadan 5G @ 20 kg/ha on the day of seedlings transplanting while CaNO3 was used as soil drenching 10 days after seedling transplanting. Results showed that integration of poultry refuse with Furadan 5G and stable bleaching powder or CaNO3 reduced root-knot and bacterial wilt diseases and increased plant growth as well as yield of brinjal. The most effective treatment combination was PR + stable bleaching powder + Furadan 5G with early sowing, followed by PR + CaNO3 + Furadan 5G with early sowing for the management of bacterial wilt and root knot nematode diseases and increasing plant growth and yield of brinjal. The technology, poultry refuse+ stable bleaching powder + Furadan 5G was validated at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, Regional Agricultural Research Station of Jessore, Hathazari and Jamalpur and also at Agricultural Research Station and farmers field at Burirhat, Rangpur and OFRD farm at Alamnagar, Rangpur. The validation trials showed that integration of poultry refuse + stable bleaching powder+ Furadan 5G in early sowing was an effective management package of bacterial wilt and root knot nematode diseases of brinjal which also offered 21.81 to 25.98% higher yield over the conventional practices.

Evaluation of salt tolerant mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) Genotypes on growth through bio-molecular approaches
Authors: Rohman MM , Ahmed I , Molla MR , Hossain MA , Amiruzzaman M 
Published: October 2019

This study was conducted to obtain saline tolerant mungbean genotypes through evaluating growth, biochemical and molecular parameters, and possible salt tolerant mechanisms were studied in different salt sensitive genotypes. Thirteen prescreened mungbean genotypes were grown on 0, 40, 80 and 120 mMNaCl induced salinity and evaluated by germination percentage, shoot and root length, superoxide (O2•-) generation rate, concentration of H2O2, lipid peroxidation (as malondialdehyde, MDA), methylglyoxal (MG), K+/Na+ and proline content in leaves. Based on these parameters, genotypes BD-10588, BD-6894 and IR-01 were selected as tolerant genotypes. For studying oxidative stress tolerance mechanism, BD-10588 and IR-01 were used as tolerant and BD-6887 and BD-10741 as susceptible genotypes, and comparative ROS (O2•- and H2O2), and MDA as well as LOX activity between the two groups were determined. Analysis of activities of ROS metabolizing antioxidant enzymes strongly suggested that superoxide dismutase in tolerant genotypes provided first line protection from salt induced O2•-. Higher catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) played major role in H2O2 metabolism in tolerant genotypes. Both specific and in-gel activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPX) strongly proved the H2O2 metabolism for reducing oxidative damage in both tolerant and susceptible genotypes. However, higher peroxidase activity was important for mitigating salt stress in susceptible mungbean genotypes. Therefore, SOD, APX and GPX are very important for protecting salt mediated oxidative damage in mungbean genotype.
