“Through the Pen to Begin with”: Anticolonial Resistance in Tanika Gupta’s Adaptation of Great Expectations
Authors: Tronicke Marlena 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Tanika Gupta’s neo-Victorian, postcolonial rewriting of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (2011) examines how India and Britain’s colonial history continues to shape both countries until the present day. The play is set in and around Calcutta in the years following 1861. Gupta thus not only relocates Pip’s transformation from village boy to metropolitan businessman to nineteenth-century India but also to a particularly fragile moment in the history of the British Empire: a subcontinent grappling with the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, facing the early years of the British Raj. Gupta interrogates narrow understandings of “Victorian” as located within the British Isles, explicating the contrapuntal reading practice that Edward W. Said calls for when highlighting Victorian literature’s implicit endorsement of imperialist ideologies and politics. Examining the play’s engagement with imperial power structures, this article centres on those moments that hint at the destabilisation of, if not revolt against, British rule. Gupta juxtaposes canonised narratives of undisturbed imperial hegemony with a tale of incessant colonial resistance. In doing so, she challenges those historiographical as well as fictional (neo-)Victorian texts that silence the sustained efforts and influence of anticolonial movements and that frame the history of Empire in terms of continuity rather than rupture.
Montaigne, Architect of or Modern Liberty
Authors: Schaefer David Lewis 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592), author of the Essays (published in successive, revised and expanded editions from 1580 until after his death), deserves to be recognized as the first) philosophic architect of modern liberalism, that is, a doctrine that advocates the advancement of individual liberty (under law), and consequently a reduction in the scope and purpose of government to securing what are represented by Montaigne’s successors (Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, and the American Founders) as people’s inherent rights to their life, liberty, property, and the “pursuit of happiness” as they conceive it. His outward, periodic professions of extreme conservatism and of homage to the Catholic Church are merely a rhetorical cover designed to protect the author from being persecuted (and his book from being banned). As a practitioner of what he describes as esoteric rhetoric (attributing it to the ancient political philosophers), Montaigne invites careful readers to see through his rhetorical concealment by noting how his conservative professions are undermined by the overall train of his reasoning and argument. Although Montaigne’s argument for liberal individualism may have gone too far in its influence over the long run (that is, the 21st century), we citizens of modern liberal regimes owe him a debt of gratitude for helping to liberate us from the reign of arbitrary monarchs, oppressive aristocrats, and clerical oppressors.
Monomodal and multimodal metaphors in editorial cartoons on the coronavirus by Jordanian cartoonists
Authors: Zibin Aseel 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study explores the monomodal and multimodal metaphors used in 80 cartoons by 11 Jordanian cartoonists to depict the coronavirus. The study adopts Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Multimodal Metaphor Theory as its theoretical framework. The results reveal that several source domains (object, human, monster, weapon, and food) were employed to depict different aspects of the coronavirus. They also show that the most used mode configuration pattern to construe the metaphors was monomodal mapping of the type pictorial source–pictorial target. The monomodality of the mappings was ascribed to the global omnipresence of the virus, which made the visual cues sufficient to construe this target domain. The results also demonstrate that Jordanian culture was referred to in some cartoons through intertextual links with previous discourse as a way to reflect the culture of the cartoonists, on the one hand, and to establish an affinity with the viewer, on the other. The study reveals the role of culture in creating monomodal and multimodal metaphors in editorial cartoons.

National identities and cross-strait relations: challenges to Taiwan’s economic development
Authors: Wang Hao 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In the increasingly volatile global political order, national economic structures and international relations, integrated as they are, are showing concerning signs of strain. Taiwan, whose world-leading semiconductor industry is indispensable in Global Supply Chains and whose economic prosperity and security are critical to a stable global economic system, has received much research interest since the late 1980s. Against the background of a slowing Taiwanese economy, starting in the 2000s, this paper seeks to investigate the causes of Taiwan’s challenges and the linkages to the global economy vis-à-vis China. Based on previous research from different social science disciplines, this paper shows that Taiwan’s economic performance has been undermined by the declining effectiveness of its industrial policy and the general state intervention in the country, which is in turn caused by deep socio-political divisions on issues of national identity and Taiwan-China relations. The paper reveals the dilemma, which results from this.

AbstractBackground and aimsInternet use has become an important part of daily living. However, for a minority it may become problematic. Moreover, problematic use of the Internet/smartphone (PUIS) has been associated with low physical activity. The present study investigated the temporal associations between three types of PUIS (i.e., problematic smartphone use [PSPU], problematic social media use [PSMU] and problematic gaming [PG]) and physical activity among Taiwanese university students.MethodsA six-month longitudinal survey study comprising three time points for assessments was conducted. From the original 974 participants, a total of 452 completed all three waves of an online survey comprising the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) assessing physical activity level, Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Scale (SABAS) assessing PSPU, Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) assessing PSMU, and Internet Gaming Disorder Short Form (IGDS9-SF) assessing PG.ResultsThe linear mixed effects model found positive temporal associations of PSMU and PG with physical activity level (PSMU: B = 85.88, SE = 26.24; P = 0.001; PG: B = 36.81, SE = 15.17; P = 0.02). PSPU was not associated with physical activity level (B = 40.54, SE = 22.99; P = 0.08). Additionally, the prevalence rates were 44.4% for at-risk/PSPU, 24.6% for at-risk/PSMU, and 12.3% for at-risk/PG.Discussion and ConclusionsPSMU and PG unexpectedly demonstrated correlations with higher physical activity level. The nature of these relationships warrants additional investigation into the underlying mechanisms in order to promote healthy lifestyles among university students.
A long-term study on structural changes in calcium aluminate silicate hydrates

Published: November 2022

AbstractProduction of blended cements in which Portland cement is combined with supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) is an effective strategy for reducing the CO2 emissions during cement manufacturing and achieving sustainable concrete production. However, the high Al2O3 and SiO2 contents of SCM change the chemical composition of the main hydration product, calcium aluminate silicate hydrate (C–A–S–H). Herein, spectroscopic and structural data for C–A–S–H gels are reported in a large range of equilibration times from 3 months up to 2 years and Al/Si molar ratios from 0.001 to 0.2. The 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis indicate that in addition to the C–A–S–H phase, secondary phases such as strätlingite, katoite, Al(OH)3 and calcium aluminate hydrate are present at Al/Si ≥ 0.03 limiting the uptake of Al in C–A–S–H. More secondary phases are present at higher Al concentrations; their content decreases with equilibration time while more Al is taken up in the C–A–S–H phase. At low Al contents, Al concentrations decrease strongly with time indicating a slow equilibration, in contrast to high Al contents where a clear change in Al concentrations over time was not observed indicating that the equilibrium has been reached faster. The 27Al NMR studies show that tetrahedrally coordinated Al is incorporated in C–A–S–H and its amount increases with the amount of Al present in the solution.

Authors: Malhotra Neha , Bala Manju , Puri Vikram 
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Mobile computing systems (MCS) comes up with the challenge of low communication bandwidth and energy due to the mobile nature of the network. These features sometimes may come up with the undesirable behaviour of the system that eventually affects the efficiency of the system.
Problem: Fault tolerance in MCS will increase the efficiency of the system even in the presence of faults.
Objective: The main objective of this work is the development of the Monitoring Framework and Fault Detection and Classification.
Methodology: For the Node Monitoring and for the detection and classification of faults in the system a neighbourhood comparison-based technique has been proposed. The proposed framework uses Twin Support Vector Machine (TWSVM) algorithm has been applied to build classifier for fault classification in the mobile network.
Results: The proposed system has been compared with the existing techniques and has been evaluated towards calculating the detection accuracy, latency, energy consumption, packet delivery ratio, false classification rate and false positive rate.
Conclusion: The proposed framework performs better in terms of all the selected parameters.

Published: November 2022

High levels of violence affect every family in South Africa. Exposure to violence starts early, in both the home and community. There are high levels of physical abuse of children, and the national under-five homicide rate is more than double that of other low- and middle-income countries. Rates of violence are particularly high in poorer communities in the country, and many children already made vulnerable by poverty are also at risk from increased exposure to violence.

Perceived discrimination and alcohol consumption in an indigenous population
Authors: Camacho-Martínez Jasmin U. , López-García Karla Selene , Herrera-Medina Daniel , Guzmán-Facundo Francisco Rafael , González Angulo Pedro 
Published: November 2022

Introduction. Indigenous populations are considered a vulnerable minority and have characteristics such as poverty, difficulties to access food, housing, and educational backwardness; these conditions make them prone to alcohol consumption problems. Dependence on alcohol consumption probably arises as a symbol of protest, challenge, and response to social anguish, which has in turn repercussions in marginal population sectors that have conditions of fragility due to exploitation and discrimination, such as indigenous people. Objective. To know the effect of perceived discrimination on alcohol consumption in Mexican indigenous population. Method. Research design was descriptive, correlational check-model, with a sample of 362 adults from two indigenous communities. Results. A simple linear regression model was performed, which shows a significant effect in the entire model (F[248] = 78.312, p = .001), which explains 49% of the variance of alcohol consumption. A significant positive influence was also found from the perceived discrimination variable (β = .626, p #abr# .001) on alcohol consumption. Discussion and conclusion. The studied indigenous communities had characteristics that the literature highlights as risk factors for developing addictive behaviors of alcohol consumption. These results coincide with those of the National Commission for the Development of Indigenous Peoples. Indigenous population present discrimination problems that are associated with alcohol consumption problems.

Authors: TİKVEŞLİ Melek , YÜKSEL MAYDA Pelin , KULOGLU Figen 
Published: November 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Brucella kökenlerinde tür tayini yapılması ve in vitro olarak doksisiklin, rifampisin, streptomisin, seftriakson, siprofloksasin ve ofloksasinine karşı antimikrobiyal duyarlılık oranlarının belirlenmesini amaçladık.
Yöntem: Mayıs 1997-Ocak 2002 tarihleri arasında Trakya Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi, Klinik Mikrobiyoloji Laboratuvarında, yatan hastalardan alınan klinik örneklerde (bir adet BOS ve 41 adet kan kültürü örneğinde) 42 Brucella suşu izole edildi. Konvensiyonel yöntemler ile 42 Brucella suşunun, 41 Brucella. melitensis, bir tanesi ise Brucella abortus olarak tanımlandı. Agar dilüsyon yöntemi ile farklı iki pH’da (pH:5, pH:7) 48 ve 72 saatlik inkübasyon süreleri sonunda antibiyotiklerin etkinliği karşılaştırıldı. Minimum inhibitör konsantrasyonu (MİK) değerleri, intraselüler patojenlerin antibiyotik duyarlılık testi için hazırlanmış ‘Eucast Discussion Document E.Dis 6.1’ de önerildiği şekilde değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: pH:7’de 48 ve 72 saatlik inkübasyonlar sonrası elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırıldığında, sadece ofloksasinin MİK50 ve MİK90 değerlerinin iki katına yükseldiği görüldü. pH:5’de 72 saatlik inkübasyon süresi sonunda rifampisinin etkinliği artarken, doksisiklin etkinliğinin değişmediği gözlenmiştir. Streptomisin, seftriakson, siprofloksasin ve ofloksasinin ise etkinliklerinin azaldığı gözlendi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda pH:7’de ve 48 saatlik inkübasyon süresi sonunda MİK90 değerlerine göre antibakteriyel ilaçlar Brucella kökenleri üzerine etkili olarak saptandı. Doksisiklin, pH:5 ve pH:7’de, 48 ve 72 saatlik inkübasyon süreleri sonunda MİK90 değerlerine göre en etkili antibakteriyel ilaç olarak saptandı. Brucella cinsinde yer alan bakteriler fakültatif hücre içi mikroorganizmalardır ve hücre içi benzeri pH:5 olan ortamda streptomisin, seftriakson, siprofloksasin ve ofloksasinin etkinlikleri azalmaktadır. Bruselloz tedavisinde bu durum göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Published: November 2022

Objective: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) infection and colonization are seen increasingly frequently, especially among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In this study, the aim was to detect VRE in swab samples taken from patients hospitalized in the Pediatric ICU (PICU), colonization, and to investigate the clonal relationship between isolates.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, swab samples were taken from the external auditory canal (EAC), umbilical region, and rectal region from 82 patients hospitalized in the Çukurova University Balcalı Hospital PICU. The 246 swab samples from patients were inoculated on Kanamycin-Esculin-Azide agar. Isolates were identified with the help of the BBL Crystal Gram-Positive identification system. The susceptibility of the isolates to vancomycin (30 µg) was investigated by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method according to CLSI criteria. VanA-VanB genes in phenotypically defined vancomycin-resistant enterococci were investigated by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. The clonal relationship between vancomycin-susceptible (VSE) and -resistant enterococci was determined by the SmaI-PFGE method.
Results: A total of 49 (20.3%) enterococcal strains were isolated from 246 swab samples from the patients, of which 14 (28.5%) were VRE. Of the enterococci isolates, 27 (55.10%) were E. faecium and 13 (26.53%) were E. feacalis. While VanA type resistance was detected in 11 of the vancomycin-resistant E. faecium and E. feacalis isolates, VanB type resistance was not detected in any sample. There was no significant clonal relationship between the isolates.
Conclusion: Although the prevalence of VRE in the PICU was high throughout the study, no enterococcal infection was observed.
Ethnography Of Communication In Arabic Language Learning

Published: November 2022

This research was the Ethnography of Communication in Arabic learning to students MA Ubudiyah Bati-Bati. This study started from the author's initial observation about the tradition of many of the 12th-grade students in Arabic learning communication at MA Ubudiyah Bati-Bati found language traditions. These traditions were unique in communication between teachers to students, students to students, and students to teachers. As with the diverse ethnic backgrounds of students. Based on the statement above, the results of this study indicate that educational experience, ethnicity, place of residence, and language use of these affect students' communication style in the classroom. Furthermore, in this study, students used 5 languages in communication in the classroom: Arabic, Banjarese, Indonesian, English, and Javanese. Then the speech patterns of student interactions in this study amounted to 16 patterns of interaction speech used. A pattern in the exchange of learning Arabic. Produces this pattern more from teachers to students because, in it, there are questions and answers. For students to students, there are only a few because they do not have much time to talk to their friends in the class room when learning Arabic. In addition from the results of the analysis of interactions that occurred in learning Arabic, the researchers found 3 words that were often spoken during the learning process until students became accustomed to saying them. That is, “Bujurlah pa”, “Insya Allah”, and “Izin bertanya/izin menjawab”.
