An Introduction to the Concept of Landscape in Geography
Authors: Ratheesh Mon P. 
Published: April 2022

The diversity of landscape concepts and definitions often perplexes researchers who are new to landscape studies, this is the most common challenge faced by most of such researchers. In terms of meaning and application the term “landscape” is highly diverse. Different disciplines, such as art, architecture, archaeology, ecology, and geography have developed and defined the concept of landscape in different ways. Even within geography, the concept is confusing due to differences in its application by different paradigms in different manner. Different schools of thought or paradigms of geography had differently perceived the concept of landscape. At a general level landscape is divided as natural and cultural, at the same time this distinction appears to be fading in more specialised academic engagements. Humanistic geographers consider landscape as a social product, whereas historical geographers focus on the origins of landscapes. Cultural geographers take a more qualitative approach to landscape, seeing it as a symbolic representation of values and meanings. This paper is an endeavor to address the cardinal genres of landscape engagements in geography.
STATISTICS IN THE WORKPLACE: A SURVEY OF USE BY RECENT GRADUATES WITH HIGHER DEGREES
Authors: HARRAWAY JOHN A. , BARKER RICHARD J. 
Published: April 2022

A postal survey was conducted regarding statistical techniques, research methods and software used in the workplace by 913 graduates with PhD and Masters degrees in the biological sciences, psychology, business, economics, and statistics. The study identified gaps between topics and techniques learned at university and those used in the workplace, and points to deficiencies in statistical preparation for employment. Courses requested include multivariate statistics, generalized linear models, research design and power analysis taught with minimal emphasis on probability and mathematics. Recommendations are presented, such as expanding statistical service courses to eliminate gaps, the development of intensive workshops for postgraduate students and for workplace retraining, or involving staff from other departments to provide context for statistics teaching.

REASONING ABOUT INFORMAL STATISTICAL INFERENCE: ONE STATISTICIAN’S VIEW
Authors: ROSSMAN ALLAN J. 
Published: April 2022

This paper identifies key concepts and issues associated with the reasoning of informal statistical inference. I focus on key ideas of inference that I think all students should learn, including at secondary level as well as tertiary. I argue that a fundamental component of inference is to go beyond the data at hand, and I propose that statistical inference requires basing the inference on a probability model. I present several examples using randomization tests for connecting the randomness used in collecting data to the inference to be drawn. I also mention some related points from psychology and indicate some points of contention among statisticians, which I hope will clarify rather than obscure issues.

EXPLORING BEGINNING INFERENCE WITH NOVICE GRADE 7 STUDENTS
Authors: WATSON JANE M. 
Published: April 2022

This study documented efforts to facilitate ideas of beginning inference in novice grade 7 students. A design experiment allowed modified teaching opportunities in light of observation of components of a framework adapted from that developed by Pfannkuch for teaching informal inference with box plots. Box plots were replaced by hat plots, a feature available with the software TinkerPlotsTM. Data in TinkerPlots files were analyzed on four occasions and observed responses to tasks were categorized using a hierarchical model. The observed outcomes provided evidence of change in students’ appreciation of beginning inference over the four sessions. Suggestions for change are made for the use of the framework in association with the intervention and the software to enhance understanding of beginning inference.

Published: April 2022

Retrograde intramedullary fixation has been proposed to improve the rate of union providing greater stability in patients with a posterior cruciate ligament retaining femoral TKA component and decreasing soft-tissue trauma. This study assessed the clinical and radiographical outcome of retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIN) for the treatment of periprosthetic supracondylar fractures of the femur in an elderly population. Between January 2014 and December 2018, 16 patients with PSF underwent RIN. The clinical outcome was evaluated using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Short-form health survey (SF-12). The radiographic outcome was evaluated directly on the X-rays. Complications were also described. 13 patients (11 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 84 years old (range, 77-89) were evaluated clinically and radiographically, after a mean of 48.3 months (range, 24-73 months). The SF-12 scores were similar to normative values for subjects in the comparable age group. Radiographic union was obtained in all patients after an average of 14,8 weeks (range, 12-40 weeks) postoperatively. RIN is a safe and effective treatment for PSF, above all in the elderly population. The overall clinical and radiographic result was satisfactory.
Warning through Extrapolation: On the Practical Aims of Dystopia
Authors: Thaler Mathias 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT
This article contributes to a better understanding of dystopia’s practical aims by offering a critical defense of what Gregory Claeys calls the “Atwood Principle.” Derived from the writings of Canadian author Margaret Atwood, it establishes a yardstick for separating speculative fiction from science fiction. I argue that, rather than elevating it to the status of a genre definer, the Atwood Principle should be vindicated in terms of a heuristic device for contextually identifying the central mechanism underpinning dystopias: warning through extrapolation. The real challenge, then, is how to make sense of the complex functioning of extrapolation. Instead of viewing it in mechanistic terms, my suggestion is to envisage extrapolation as a dynamic process involving both realism and estrangement. I illustrate this through a contrast between two kinds of stories about the current climate emergency: cautionary and post-cautionary tales of the Anthropocene.

enhanced anarchic society optimization technique for the classification of ultrasound thyroid images using ILBP
Authors: Anitha D. , Priya S. Sathya 
Published: April 2022

In the recent times, Thyroid Nodules (TNs) is a generic cancer of the thyroid gland, which impacts close to 20% of the population worldwide and nearly 50% of 60- year-old individuals. The conventional diagnostic method, relying on the expertise of doctors, shows a huge drawback that the diagnosis result very much relies on the individual knowledge and experience of the physician. As a result, efficacy of diagnosis is confined, and it varies with the doctor’s experience. To combat this limitation, an efficient double screening technique is employed in few health care centers and hospitals by using one more specialist but, this approach is unaffordable and its time complexity is high. The research classified the thyroid nodules employing different image preprocessing techniques. Utilized histogram equalization for preprocessing in his work. The Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is deployed for extracting the significant features. The classification is done using ASO, k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Bayesian. It is noticed that the ASO yields improved accuracy compared to KNN and Bayesian techniques.

Aim: Evaluate the marginal integrity and Clinical performance of PEEK endocrowns compared to lithium disilicate (E-Max) ceramic endocrowns. Methodology: Twenty six endocrowns were fabricated for posterior endodontically treated teeth. Patients were divided into two groups according to the material used for fabrication of the restorations; Group 1(control group) received E-Max endocrowns while Group 2 (intervention group) received Bio HPP PEEK endocrowns. The marginal integrity and internal fit were assessed using the silicon replica approach, in which each replica was sectioned into four segments, each with five reference points that were evaluated using a digital microscope at 35X magnification. After final cementation, the clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated according to the USPHS criteria in terms of marginal adaptation, fracture, and retention. These measurements were repeated after three, six, nine and twelve months respectively. Results: The marginal and internal gaps of both groups were within the clinical acceptable range, but E-Max group recorded statistically significant higher internal gap mean value than PEEK group. Regarding the clinical performance all restorations showed 100% alpha and there was no significant difference between both groups for all tested outcomes (Marginal adaptation, fracture, and retention) over one year.

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes between orthopaedic trainees using various preoperative training platforms (physical simulation [PS], virtual reality [VR], and reading/videos) in a slipped capital femoral epiphysis model.

Methods:
Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: (1) reading/video control group (n = 7), (2) VR group (n = 7), or (3) PS group (n = 7). Participants in the VR group completed a VR slipped capital femoral epiphysis module while participants in the PS group practiced the placement of a screw in the physical module before evaluation of percutaneous screw placement in the PS model. Outcomes evaluated included overall surgical time, amount of fluoroscopy, Global Rating Scale score, radiographic screw position, physical screw accuracy, presence of breeching of the articular surface or femoral neck, and overall platform rating (0 to 10).

Results:
No difference was observed in surgical time, Global Rating Scale score, radiographic or physical accuracy of screw position, or articular surface breaching between the groups. Subjectively, there was a difference in utility of platform rating between the groups (PS: 10 ± 0, VR: 7 ± 2, and control: 6 ± 1, P = 0.001).

Conclusion:
Training with VR was subjectively rated higher in value compared with reading/video methods and had similar performance outcomes compared with training with PS.
