Hydro-eroticism
Authors: Chow Jeremy , Bushman Brandi 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
In tracing the ways that eroticism and violence are mapped onto bodies of and relationships with water, this essay offers “hydro-eroticism” to consider an ecofeminist and queer ecological reading of water. Hydro-eroticism signifies two interventions: first, how aqueous locations become sites of queer community and punishment while registering associations with the fluid female body, and second, how human and nonhuman intimacy is enabled by aqueous proximity. The essay focuses on Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, based loosely on Margaret Atwood’s novel, and The Shape of Water. Whereas in The Handmaid’s Tale the river is configured doubly as a site of bodily violation wherein violence against queer characters is palpable but also as a space that informs nostalgic reunion for queer female community, in The Shape of Water hydro-eroticism speaks to the fraught and layered entanglements of human female and nonhuman male creature in concert with queer kinship.
Canal Zone Modernism
Authors: Feinsod Harris 
Published: April 2019

AbstractThis essay is a narrowly drawn exercise in comparison at a narrow passage of marine transit—the Panama Canal Zone. It argues that the spatial typology of the “zone” might supply one of the figures for a tropological history of comparative modernism at sea. The essay follows disparate works—by the Swiss avant-garde poet Blaise Cendrars, the West Indian writers Claude McKay and Eric Walrond, the Nicaraguan poet Ernesto Cardenal, and the American modernist poet Wallace Stevens—into the space of conflicts and disparities that characterizes the Canal Zone as a peculiar choke point of maritime globalization.
Maritime Optics in Sea-War Fiction between the Wars
Authors: Rizzuto Nicole 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Absent from prodigious critical scholarship about the seas is a discussion of modernism between the wars. Yet this period is rife with writing set on the waters. This essay argues that it is in their orchestrations of the waters as dead zones that such works revitalize seafaring literature and broaden our understandings of modernism generally. By way of illustration the essay examines the British author James Hanley’s 1938 novel Hollow Sea, which centers on a merchant ship turned troopship during World War I. In its staging of maritime technologies and infrastructures, Hanley’s text ironizes the literary trope and geopolitical concept of the “free sea” from an interwar perspective. The novel’s particular mode of hydro-criticism manifests in its formal challenges to both the war optics of the British state and the optics of a major modernist writer of the seas, Joseph Conrad.
Indigenous Diplomacy and Spanish Mediation in the Lower Colorado–Gila River Region, 1771–1783
Authors: Sussman Naomi 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Drawing on expeditionary diaries, official correspondence, Indigenous-authored petitions, and incident reports, this article argues that between 1771 and 1783, the Quechán and “Maricopa” alliance networks controlling the Lower Colorado and Gila Rivers compelled Spanish officials to seek diplomatic entry points into a riverine “native ground.” Contemporary studies of late Bourbon Indian policy foreground colonial officials’ negotiations and treaty making with the Native populations that dominated northern New Spain. However, this scholarship has never systematically engaged with Spanish mediation between Indigenous peoples. As this article demonstrates, missionaries and soldiers brokered Indigenous peace agreements to protect overland communication between Sonora and Alta California and stake out a role for the empire in the river region. In turn, Native peoples recruited Spanish mediation to ameliorate the negative effects of the colonial captive trade. Across the eighteenth century, the river peoples had accessed Spanish trade networks by raiding their rivals to furnish colonists with captive labor. Captive raiding exacerbated intra-Native competition and profoundly disrupted daily life. The river peoples consequently used Spanish peace brokering to renegotiate regional hierarchies and stabilize their communities while retaining access to colonial markets. Centering this history of violence and mediation reorients the literature in two important ways. First, it highlights Native geopolitical dominance on the Colorado and Gila Rivers, which endured until the mid-nineteenth century. Second, it reveals that Indigenous mediation constituted one dimension of late Bourbon Indian policy on “native ground.” Future studies may uncover similar practices across the Spanish Empire.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUNDDelirium affects more than seven million hospitalized adults in the United States annually. However, its impact on postdischarge healthcare utilization remains unclear.OBJECTIVETo determine the association between delirium and 30‐day hospital readmission.DESIGNA retrospective cohort study.SETTINGA general community medical and surgical hospital.PATIENTSAll adults who were at least 65 years old, without a history of delirium or alcohol‐related delirium, and were hospitalized from September 2010 to March 2015.MEASUREMENTSThe patients deemed at risk for or displaying symptoms of delirium were screened by nurses using the Confusion Assessment Method with a follow‐up by a staff psychiatrist for a subset of screen‐positive patients. Patients with delirium confirmed by a staff psychiatrist were compared with those without delirium. The primary outcome was the 30‐day readmission rate. The secondary outcomes included emergency department (ED) visits 30 days postdischarge, mortality during hospitalization and 30 days postdischarge, and discharge location.RESULTSThe cohort included 718 delirious patients and 7,927 nondelirious patients. Using an unweighted multivariable logistic regression, delirium was determined to be significantly associated with the increased odds of readmission within 30 days of discharge (odds ratio (OR): 2.60; 95% CI, 1.96‐3.44; P < .0001). Delirium was also significantly (P < .0001) associated with ED visits within 30 days postdischarge (OR: 2.18; 95% CI: 1.77‐2.69) and discharge to a facility (OR: 2.52; 95% CI: 2.09‐3.01).CONCLUSIONSDelirium is a significant predictor of hospital readmission, ED visits, and discharge to a location other than home. Delirious patients should be targeted to reduce postdischarge healthcare utilization.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUNDLittle is known about the state of research in academic hospital medicine (HM) despite the substantial growth of this specialty.METHODSWe used the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) membership database to identify research programs and their leadership. In addition, the members of the SHM Research Committee identified individuals who lead research programs in HM. A convenience sample of programs and individuals was thus created. A survey instrument containing questions regarding institutional information, research activities, training opportunities, and funding sources was pilot tested and refined for electronic dissemination. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics.RESULTSA total of 100 eligible programs and corresponding individuals were identified. Among these programs, 28 completed the survey in its entirety (response rate 28%). Among the 1,586 faculty members represented in the 28 programs, 192 (12%) were identified as engaging in or having obtained extramural funding for research, and 656 (41%) were identified as engaging in quality improvement efforts. Most programs (61%) indicated that they received $500,000 or less in research funding, whereas 29% indicated that they received >$1 million in funding. Major sources of grant support included the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Institutes of Health, and the Veterans Health Administration. Only five programs indicated that they currently have a research fellowship program in HM. These programs cited lack of funding as a major barrier to establishing fellowships. Almost half of respondents (48%) indicated that their faculty published between 11‐50 peer‐reviewed manuscripts each year.CONCLUSIONThis survey provides the first national summary of research activities in HM. Future waves of the survey can help determine whether the research footprint of the field is growing.

Published: April 2019

BACKGROUNDInternal Medicine (IM) residency graduates should be able to manage hospital emergencies, but the rare and critical nature of such events poses an educational challenge. IM residents' exposure to inpatient acute clinical events is currently unknown.OBJECTIVEWe developed an instrument to assess IM residents' exposure to and confidence in managing hospital acute clinical events.METHODSWe administered a survey to all IM residents at our institution assessing their exposure to and confidence in managing 50 inpatient acute clinical events. Exposures assessed included mannequin‐based simulation or management of hospital‐based events as a part of a team or independently in a leadership role. Confidence was rated on a five‐point scale and dichotomized to “confident” versus “not confident.” Results were analyzed by multivariable logistic regression to assess the relationship between exposure and confidence accounting for year in training.RESULTSA total of 140 of 170 IM residents (82%) responded. Postgraduate year 1 (PGY‐1) residents had managed 31.3% of acute events independently vs 71.7% of events for PGY‐3/4 residents (P < .0001). In multivariable analysis, residents' confidence increased with level of training (PGY‐1 residents were confident to manage 24.9% of events vs 72.5% of events for PGY‐3/4 residents, P < .0001) and level of exposure, independent of training year (P = .001). Events with the lowest levels of exposure and confidence for graduating residents were identified.CONCLUSIONSIM residents' confidence in managing inpatient acute events correlated with level of training and clinical exposure. We identified events with low levels of resident exposure and confidence that can serve as targets for future curriculum development.

Authors: Vargas Soplín Andrés de Jesús , Ramírez Candia Judith María 
Published: April 2019

Contexto: la región Madre de Dios, Perú, se encuentra condicionada por la forma del asentamiento disperso de sus poblaciones. Esta configuración limita el acceso de la energía a centros poblados rurales, que se encuentra en 69% en la población rural; por ello, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo principal la determinación de polos de generación distribuida a partir de biomasa residual agrícola en la región de Madre de Dios.Método: mediante un esquema metodológico de cuatro fases, se analizó la cobertura eléctrica de la región Madre de Dios y se priorizaron centros poblados rurales con mayor posibilidad de energización; posteriormente, se determinó la cantidad de biomasa residual agrícola de los cultivos mayoritarios en la región y su localización geográfica. Seguidamente, se analizaron las opciones tecnológicas de aprovechamiento energético disponibles; por último, se estimó la cantidad de energía aprovechable de la biomasa residual agrícola.Resultados: se determinaron cinco centros poblados rurales priorizados en Madre de Dios para la energización. En cuanto a la biomasa residual agrícola, ésta se estimó en 6645.08 ton/año para arroz, 5191.20 ton/año para maíz amarillo duro y 7862.37 ton/año para plátano, los tres cultivos mayoritarios en la región. Se estimó que, para el aprovechamiento de cascarilla de arroz, el rango de generación de energía varía de 838.86 a 1319.23 KWh/año mediante gasificadores de lecho móvil, y de 317.99 a 897.56 KWh/año para gasificadores de lecho fluidizado, con lo cual se cubriría la demanda energética de los centros poblados rurales priorizados, que asciende a 211.9 MWh/año.Conclusiones: la región de Madre de Dios cuenta con potencial de generación de energía eléctrica distribuida que puede cubrir la demanda de los cinco centros poblados priorizados al 100%. Asimismo, la energía generada en la región Madre de Dios mediante lecho fluidizado podría atender la demanda de 1495 habitantes aproximadamente, mientras que mediante lecho móvil se cubriría la demanda de 3945 habitantes aproximadamente.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
The aim of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is to eliminate persistent organic chemicals worldwide by either prohibiting their production and use or gradually reducing them. The Stockholm Convention was adopted in 2001 and entered into force in 2004, 90 days after receiving the 50th instrument of ratification. The Parties to the Convention have to regularly report progress in implementation of their measures taken to achieve the goals. The Convention has a mechanism to add more compounds; today 28 POPs are covered, 16 more than the initial ones.
Ten Chemical Innovations That Will Change Our World: IUPAC identifies emerging technologies in Chemistry with potential to make our planet more sustainable
Authors: Gomollón-Bel Fernando 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
2019 is a very special year in chemistry. 2019 marks two major anniversaries: the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the 150th anniversary of Dimitri Mendeleev’s first publication on the Periodic Table of Elements [1]. IUPAC is the global organization that, among many other things, established a common language for chemistry—enabling scientific research, education, and trade. In a similar manner, Mendeleev’s system classified all the elements that were known at the time, and even predicted the existence of elements that would only come to be discovered years later. These two anniversaries are closely entwined, as IUPAC has played a major role developing of the modern Periodic Table by ensuring that the most authoritative version of the table is accessible to everyone [2], establishing names and symbols for the newly discovered elements, and also constantly reviewing its accuracy through the IUPAC Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights.
Bye-Bye, IPK!
Authors: Rabinovich Daniel 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The International Prototype Kilogram, after 130 years of dutiful service, is finally retiring. The IPK, a golf ball-sized cylinder made of a special platinum-iridium alloy (90:10), was introduced in 1889 at the first General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) near Paris to define the unit of mass using an artifact fabricated with the utmost care and precision available at the time. New units were subsequently adopted for other physical quantities such as electric current (the ampere) and temperature (the kelvin), and the increasing need for a more cohesive set of units of measurement led to the implementation of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960.
Research? Learning? Exploring? Individual Knowledge Acquisition
Authors: Bence-Fekete Andrea 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
The development and modification of learning skills did not follow the boom of the other areas. In the teaching materials verbal knowledge is still the most significant, which does not require thinking and creativity from the students during acquisition; what more, sometimes even the pedagogues do not like those students, who apply unique problem-solving strategies. Making the knowledge applicable does not happen via passive reception, but rather via active learning based on individual thinking and experiences. Research based knowledge acquisition may be applied already from the age of 10; and it enables an prepares children to get along creatively in our knowledge-based society, which requires the individual search and use of information and sources, sensitivity towards problems and a general knowledge of research methods. During the lecture I will introduce the working group of young researchers, where children learn the basics of research step-by-step and show how the roles of students and teachers change during the individual discoveries. So-called “Dunántúli Mandulafa” is a scientific competition of 10-19-year-old young researchers, where they show their first ever presentation and make their first scientific publication - considering the abilities originating from their age, certainly.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
The University of Debrecen is a participant of the PETRA project (Promoting Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Azerbaijani Universities) with the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, University of Applied Sciences Vienna, Austria, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. The aim of the project is promoting of teaching and learning excellence in Azerbaijan Universities, by supporting the professional development in higher education and, in the academic community. For this reason, the program wants to enhance the usage of technology and innovative forms of teaching, to provide support for designing courses and for choosing and using diverse approaches in assessment. The purpose of this study is to identify the possibilities of promoting the professional development in higher education and to explore the theoretical landscape: the roles and implications of the professional development. This paper explores the connections between the reflective behaviour of the teachers and their assessment methods and wants to provide new approaches to assessment in the context of the institutional strategies of the higher education. This paper argues for innovative forms of assessment such as the portfolios in teacher preparation or the group-based assessment forms - as methods of promoting higher quality learning. The study investigates the ways towards the autonomous assessment in the higher education, using self-assessment and peer assessment.
