Creative Nonfiction: A virtual conversation with Lee Gutkind
Authors: Brien Donna Lee , Gutkind Lee 
Published: May 2022

When in 1999 I began working on writing an undergraduate unit on creative nonfiction writing one name come up across all my Internet searches - Lee Gutkind. Before I started researching, I knew creative nonfiction was taught widely in writing schools across the USA, with its popularity and profile having developed rapidly over the last decade. So much so that (as Nigel Krauth can testify from personal experience) creative nonfiction was the’buzz’ area of the 1999 American Associated Writing Programs Conference held in Albany, New York, a conference which was attended by 1400 delegates. What I did not know was who stood at the centre of this whirlwind… In order to introduce Professor Gutkind as the Keynote Speaker in the Creative Nonfiction strand of the Writing 2000 Conference, I have constructed this (creative nonfiction) virtual interview from our email conversation and by utilising excerpts from the author’s published works.
Introduction - The place where the real and the imagined coincides: An introduction to Australian Creative Nonfiction
Authors: Brien Donna Lee 
Published: May 2022

When in discussions in late 1999 it emerged that not only was Creative Nonfiction to be one of the main themes of Writing 2000, the fifth annual conference of the AAWP (Australian Association of Writing Programs), but that one of the keynote speakers for the conference would be Professor Lee Gutkind (pioneer of the teaching of this so-called ‘fourth genre’ in the USA), Nigel Krauth and I agreed that it seemed timely to gather together some Australian examples of this kind of writing. This collection is the outcome - its aim to begin to reveal some of the variety and qualities of creative nonfiction as it is practiced in Australia. The contributors were not chosen as those we judged the ‘best’ or the ‘most famous’ proponents of what we defined as creative nonfiction, rather they are an interesting and wide-ranging (although modest) selection of writers who, we thought, could each bring something unique and different to this preliminary survey.
Ideas behind the writing of the creative nonfiction novel Strange Objects
Authors: Crew Gary 
Published: May 2022

For Strange Objects, I quite deliberately set out to find an episode in Australian history that dealt with a teenager being isolated. I was eager to establish this ‘teen loner’ element as a form of rapport with my young readers, yet re-interpret the teen genre at the same time. As a result, I wrote in the journal that I had begun keeping for my new novel: I would like to trace the life of a boy left entirely alone in Australia before settlement. I think this would be like leaving me alone on Mars. While there would be a drive for ‘physical survival’, there would also be a need for ‘psychic survival’ - how to adjust, cope, grow through loss… I then went looking for my seminal historical episode involving a castaway youth.

Leadership Behaviors and Employee Engagement in the Hospitality Industry in Myanmar
Authors: Zu Phyo Myint , Weerakit Nareeya 
Published: May 2022

This research investigates leadership behaviors, hotel employee engagement and the impact of leadership behaviors on employee engagement in strongly collectivist country, Myanmar. Quantitative research method was applied. Questionnaires were distributed to the hotel employees in Mandalay, Myanmar, using non-probability convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were used to measure the leadership behavior, employee engagement and the impact of leadership behavior on employee engagement. The results show that hotel managers in Myanmar have exercised informing, coaching, supporting team, leading by example, showing effective performance and displaying integrity behaviors. But their employees are only somewhat emotionally, physically, and cognitively engaged. The results also show that displaying integrity, informing, coaching, and supporting teams have positive impact while participative decision making has negative impact on employee engagement. This research findings provide both theoretical and practical implications which are useful for leaders in collectivist cultured countries. The research findings highlight the fact that leaders should display integrity and practice coaching more in a collectivist culture as it can make employees more engaged. Employers can also support managers to exercise these behaviors on a daily basis by redesigning evaluation programs for leaders. This study is also one of the first to investigate the relationship between leadership behavior and employee engagement in the Myanmar hospitality industry. The findings will be useful specially for Myanmar hotels to reduce the risk of employee turnover and keep their employees engaged.

Van vis naar vissen: duurzaamheid in beleidsevaluatie
Duurzaamheid wordt steeds belangrijker. Naast ‘goed voor de planeet’ moet beleid ook resultaten opleveren die blijvend zijn. Maar voor duurzame verandering zijn vaak ingewikkelde programma’s nodig. Hierdoor komen traditionele evaluatievragen als ‘Heeft beleid effect?’ in een ander daglicht te staan en zijn nieuwe onderzoeksmethoden nodig. Tegelijkertijd kunnen ook bescheiden maatregelen tot grote veranderingen leiden.
EFEKTIVITAS TERAPI NSAID DAN AKUPUNKTUR GI PADA PASIEN DENGAN KELUHAN NYERI RADANG DI KLINIK AKUPUNKTUR UPT BUMI MEDIKA GANESA ITB

Obat antiinflamasi non steroid (NSAID), seperti asam mefenamat, natrium diklofenak, meloxicam, ibuprofen, bekerja dengan menghambat pembentukan mediator peradangan, yaitu prostaglandin. Sebaliknya, akupunktur analgetika dapat meningkatkan ambang nyeri dengan cara meningkatkan pembentukan mediator peradangan secara lokal, diikuti oleh peningkatan sekresi endorfin. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk membandingkan efektivitas NSAID dan akupunktur GI.. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pengambilan data berupa angket berisi skor Visual Analogue Rating Scale (VAS) untuk mengkaji efektivitas NSAID dan akupunktur GI pada pasien dengan keluhan nyeri radang yang semula menggunakan NSAID kemudian beralih ke akupunktur GI. Hasil pengolahan data angket pada pasien menunjukkan rataan penurunan skor VAS akupunktur GI yang lebih besar secara bermakna dibandingkan dengan NSAID (3,20±0,7 vs 2,43±0,998) dibuktikan dengan nilai p= 0,000 (p< 0,05). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini diperoleh simpulan bahwa akupunktur GI lebih efektif dalam mengurangi rasa sakit daripada pengobatan nyeri menggunakan NSAIDs.

Effect of a cover crop on the aphid incidence is not explained by increased top-down regulation
Authors: Alvarez-Baca Jeniffer K. , Montealegre Xiomara , Le Lann Cécile , Van Baaren Joan , Lavandero Blas 
Published: May 2022

BackgroundCover crops can be used as a habitat management strategy to enhance the natural enemies and their temporal synchronization with a target pest. We examined the effect of winter oat intercropping within organic plum orchards on the natural enemy abundance and seasonal dynamics on the biological control of plum aphids in spring in Central Chile.MethodsWe compared the incidence and abundance of natural enemies and aphid pests from winter to the end of spring using two treatments: (1) plum trees with an oat cover crop (OCC) and (2) plum trees without a cover crop but with spontaneous vegetation (SV). We hypothesized that cover crops allow the development of winter cereal aphids, promoting the early arrival of natural enemies in spring, resulting in an earlier control of plum aphids.ResultsWinter cereal aphids developed well on the OCC, and as a result, a lower plum aphid incidence in spring was observed when compared to the SV. However, the abundance of natural enemies and the parasitism rates cannot explain the positive impacts of the oat cover crop on the aphid populations as there were no differences between treatments. A potential effect of the oat due to chemical and/or physical stimuli (bottom-up effects) could help to explain these results.
Enhancement of Kasugamycin Production by pH Shock in Batch Cultures of Streptomyceskasugaensis
Authors: Kim Chang Joon , Chang Yong Keun , Chun Gie‐Taek 
Published: July 2002

AbstractBiosynthesis of kasugamycin could be greatly enhanced by applying a nonnutritional stress of pH shock, that is, sequential pH changes from a neutral pH to an acidic condition and then back to the neutral condition. During the acidic period, cell growth decreased to nil. After recovery of the neutral condition, the cell growth resumed after a time lag concurrently with the biosynthesis of kasugamycin at a greatly enhanced rate compared with the control case without a pH shock. In a series of experiments performed to identify the optimal length of pH shock, four different lengths (6, 12, 24, and 48 h) of pH shock were applied. The best result was obtained when pH shock was applied for 24 h, with kasugamycin productivity approximately 7‐fold higher than that of the control.
Development of a Bioartificial Nerve Graft. II. Nerve Regeneration in Vitro
Authors: Rutkowski Gregory E. , Heath Carole A. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractA promising alternative for the repair of peripheral nerve injuries is the bioartificial nerve graft, or BNG, comprised of a tubular conduit preseeded with Schwann cells, which are an effective substrate for enhancing nerve regeneration. The physical properties of the conduit, porosity and wall thickness, as well as the Schwann cell seeding density, were tested for their effect on axon growth using rat dorsal root ganglia. These parameters can influence the amount of nutrients and growth factors made available to the neural tissue. Results show that a greater wall thickness and lower porosities have a detrimental effect on the growth of the axons. Over a four week period, axons extended 3.2 mm for the optimum case (Δ R = 0.82 mm, ϵ = 0.75) compared to 1.8 and 1.6 mm for a lower porosity (0.55) and a greater wall thickness (1.4 mm), respectively. A maximum in the growth rate occurs at a porosity of 75% for Schwann cell seeded conduits but not for unseeded ones. When compared to mass transfer predictions, the results suggest that, at higher porosities, more growth factors diffuse out of the conduit, while at low porosities there is competition for nutrients. Increasing the Schwann cell seeding density enhances growth but also leads to an increase in the number of axons along the length of the conduit. This is indicative of branching of the axons, which requires additional resources to maintain and can lead to painful neuroma formation. Wall thickness and porosity were found not to have any significant effect on the axon number sprouting from the dorsal root ganglia and the mean diameter ( p > 0.05). Considerations need to be made, not just on the polymer used, but also on its porosity, wall thickness, and Schwann cell seeding density. These parameters can be adjusted to create a bioartificial nerve graft that provides the optimal environment for nerve growth.
Primary Separation of the Entomopathogenic Products of Bacillus thuringiensis
Authors: Villafaña‐Rojas Juan , Gutiérrez Eduardo , de la Torre Mayra 
Published: July 2002

AbstractAn efficient recovery of the active spore−crystal complex of Bacillus thuringiensis was achieved by using either a disk‐stack centrifuge or a rotary vacuum filter. In both operations the spore recovery efficiency was higher than 99%. Nevertheless, the concentration of dry solids produced by each method strongly differed, being 31.5% for filtration and 7.5% for centrifugation, while the organic solids concentration increased 9.2 and 2.5 times, respectively. Adjustment of the broth to pH 4 improved the solid−liquid separation efficiency.
Historical relationships of the Mexican cloud forests: a preliminary vicariance model applying Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity to vascular plant taxa
Authors: Luna Vega Isolda , Alcántara Ayala Othón , Espinosa Organista David , Morrone Juan J. 
Published: July 2002

SummaryMexican cloud forests, situated between 600 and 3000 m of elevation, exhibit a remarkable high biotic diversity. They follow a fragmented pattern, similar to that of an archipelago, that makes them suitable to vicariance modelling. A Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity (PAE) was applied to the presence/absence of 1267 species of vascular plants (gymnosperms, angiosperms, and pteridophytes) from twenty‐four patches of Mexican cloud forests, in order to postulate a preliminary hypothesis of relationships. The single cladogram obtained grouped the twenty‐four cloud forests into five clades. These results indicate that the Sierra Madre Oriental, Sierra Madre del Sur, and Serranías Meridionales floristic provinces do not represent natural units. A preliminary vicariance model is presented to explain the sequence of fragmentation of the Mexican cloud forests.

Authors: Lee S J , Livingston P M , Harper C A , McCarty C A , Taylor H R , Keeffe J E 
Published: July 2002

Methods: General practitioner compliance with recommendations for patient follow‐up after participation in a screening programme for diabetic retinopathy was assessed. Six months after screening with non‐mydriatic retinal photography in four areas of Victoria, the general practitioner of each participant was surveyed if the participant reported no examination for diabetic retinopathy in the past 2 years and if the results of the screening indicated the need for further assessment. Results: Overall, 208 of 253 (82%) completed questionnaires were analysed. A total of 123 (59%) patients were referred by their doctors for further assessment and 97 (79%) of those referred were reported to have complied with the referral. Of the 85 (41%) patients who were not referred for further assessment, 31 (36%) were reported by their doctors to be already under regular review by an ophthalmologist. Conclusions: Compliance with general practitioner referrals suggests that this screening programme was effective and a useful means by which to remind general practitioners of the importance of regular eye examinations for people with diabetes.
Photoelectron spectroscopic studies of polyatomic molecules: Degree of orientation and ionization of rotationally state selected, oriented molecules
Authors: Chandra N. , Chakraborty M. 
Published: July 2002

In this paper we report theoretical studies of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and of circular dichroism in photoelectron angular distribution (CDAD) for ionization in molecules oriented in a single ‖JKJMJ〉 rotational eigenstate. These processes have been investigated also as two of the possible alternatives to photodissociation to determine orientational distribution function of rotationally state selected, oriented molecules. Expressions are derived which can be used to calculate ARPES and CDAD for such molecular species from ab initio methods or to analyze these experimentally observed spectra for extracting information about the degree of orientation of the molecular framework. These formulas are put in their simplest possible forms using the transformation properties of the molecular point group to their full advantage. The ionization amplitude is thus shown to decompose into a sum of transitions each involving the final state wave function belonging to an irreducible representation of the point group of the target molecule. It is found that, similar to the case of photodissociation, one can determine the rotational quantum number J purely from experimental photoionization data.
Expressions developed herein are used to study ARPES and CDAD for ionization in a1 orbital of those rotationally state selected and oriented spherical top molecules which transform according to the Td point symmetry group. In this case, the detection-integrated cross section, singly differential in molecular orientation, is found to be independent of the photoionization dynamics and directly gives the molecular orientational function. The other ARPES and CDAD formulas are shown to depend upon the dynamics through the integrated partial cross section σ̄, the angularly asymmetry parameter β̄, the phase shift of the continuum waves representing the photoelectron, and the phase of the dipole transition amplitudes. The formulation presented in this paper sets a methodology for the analysis of measurements and calculation of the photoelectron spectra in rotationally state selected and oriented molecules in general, spherical top Td molecules in particular. It is applied, as an example, to photoionization in 6a21 orbital of oriented CCl4 in a pure ‖JKJMJ〉 rotational state. We find, among other things, that the photoelectron angular distributions change significantly when either or both of the directions of molecular orientation and of polarization of ionizing radiation vary from parallel to perpendicular to the quantization axis.
The Ω=1 van der Waals and Ω=0+ double well potentials of Xe 6s[3/2]1+Kr 1S determined from tunable vacuum ultraviolet laser spectroscopy

Published: July 2002

The laser induced fluorescence spectrum of jet-cooled XeKr has been measured in the vicinity of the Xe 6s[3/2]01–1S0 atomic transition at 68 045.663 cm−1. The spectrum consists of two band systems, corresponding to transitions to the Ω=0+,1 electronic states from v″=0 of the ground electronic state. By using the observed band positions and intensities, we have constructed model potentials for both excited electronic states. The Ω=0+ state has a double minimum potential [inner well, re′ = 3.09(3) Å, De′ = 624(3) cm−1; outer well, re′ = 5.1(2) Å, De′ = 101(1) cm−1] while the Ω=1 state potential has only a shallow van der Waals potential [re′ = 5.24(4) Å, De′ = 52.2(7) cm−1]. The double minimum potential for the Ω=0+ state and the difference between the potentials for the Ω=0+ and Ω=1 states are understood in terms of the dominance of two different types of bonding interactions over different ranges of the internuclear distance. At long range, the interaction is dominated by weak dispersion and overlap repulsion between the closed shell Kr atom and the excited Xe atom, giving rise to shallow minima at r≊5 Å in both states. At short range, the XeKr interaction is better described by a XeKr+ ion-core with an excited 6sσ Rydberg electron.
The Ω=0+ state is associated with the strongly bound 2Σ+1/2 XeKr+ ion-core, while the Ω=1 state corresponds to the weakly bound 2Π3/2 XeKr+ ion-core. The dual nature of the bonding which gives rise to the double minimum potential in the Ω=0+ state is similar to the bonding seen in excited states of HgAr and HgNe [Duval et al., J. Chem. Phys. 85, 6324 (1986); Okunishi et al., ibid. 98, 2675 (1993); Onda et al., ibid. 101, 7290 (1994); Onda and Yamanouchi, ibid. (submitted)] or the long range s–s, short range d–d bonding seen in the ground state of Cr2 [Casey and Leopold, J. Chem. Phys. 97, 816 (1993)], but is different from some double minima states seen in other diatomics, such as H2 (E,F 1Σ+g) [Davidson, J. Chem. Phys. 35, 1189 (1960); Kolos and Wolniewicz, ibid. 50, 3228 (1968)], Na2 (4 1Σ+g) [Tsai et al., J. Chem. Phys. 101, 25 (1994)], and Cl2 (1 1Σ+u) [Yamanouchi et al., Chem. Phys. Lett. 156, 301 (1989); Tsuchizawa et al., J. Chem. Phys. 93, 111 (1990)] which arise from curve crossings between ionic and covalent diabatic states.
