Book Review: \u3ci\u3eSpirited Encounters: American Indians Protest Museum Policies and Practices\u3c/i\u3e By Karen Coody Cooper
No full textIn recent years a number of related academic fields have explored the connections between museums and Indigenous peoples. The growth in published monographs and edited volumes has in part been spurred on by the 2004 opening of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. This monograph raises significant questions and reveals numerous debates surrounding such issues as ownership and access to museum collections and archives; the repatriation of human remains, funerary items, and cultural patrimony; Native American traditional and modern art and art museums; the need for consultation and collaboration with Indigenous peoples and communities; and the importance of sacred sites.
The study’s title is derived from the titles of two protested museum exhibits: The Spirit Sings: Artistic Traditions of Canada’s First Peoples, organized by the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta, and discussed in chapter 1; and First Encounters, designed by the Florida Museum of Natural History as a traveling exhibit celebrating the Columbus Quincentenary, and outlined in chapter 7. The author explains “[t]he term ‘spirited encounters’ captures the energetic battles waged by indigenous protestors [sic] who have been determined to force museums to recognize and redress long-held institutional biases regarding Native life and history.

No full textThermal performance investigation of double pipe heat exchanger embedded with extended surfaces using nanofluid technique as enhancement
No full textIn the present work, a numerical investigation of heat transfer enhancement in a “double pipe heat exchanger” embedded with an extended surface on the inner tube's outer surface with the addition of “Alumina nanofluid” has been carried out. Through the annuli, water with varying mass flow rates (0.03–0.07 kg/s) and hot de-ionized water with varying Reynolds numbers (250–2500) flows, while hot de-ionized water flows through the inner tube. One type of nanoparticle (Al2O3) having volume concentrations (1%, 3%, and 5%) was used during simulation. Numerical analysis was performed using Computational Fluid dynamics, and the Solid works was used to generate the model. A Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations technique was used to solve the governing equations and discretized using the finite volume method. The simulated results show that the use of a finned tube heat exchanger resulted in an improvement ratio between (2.3) and (3.1). The coefficient of convective heat transfer increased numerically as the volume concentration and Reynolds number increased. The heat transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity rise by 20% and 4.7%, respectively, at a volume concentration of 5%. © 2023 The Author
Rights based approaches to sexual and reproductive health in low and middle-income countries : a systematic review
No full textIntroduction:
The Sustainable Development Goals, which are grounded in human rights, involve empowering women and girls and ensuring that everyone can access sexual and reproductive health and rights (Goal 5). This is the first systematic review reporting interventions involving rights-based approaches for sexual and reproductive health issues including gender-based violence, maternity, HIV and sexually transmitted infections in low and middle-income countries.
Aims:
To describe the evidence on rights-based approaches to sexual and reproductive health in low and middle-income countries.
Methods:
EMBASE, MEDLINE and Web of Science were searched until 9/1/2020. Inclusion criteria were:
Study design: any interventional study.
Population: females aged over 15 living in low and middle-income countries.
Intervention: a “rights-based approach” (defined by the author) and/or interventions that the author explicitly stated related to "rights".
Comparator: clusters in which no intervention or fewer components of an intervention were in place, or individuals not exposed to interventions, or exposed to fewer intervention components.
Outcome: Sexual and reproductive health related outcomes.
A narrative synthesis of included studies was undertaken, and outcomes mapped to identify evidence gaps.
The systematic review protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42019158950).
Results:
Database searching identified 17,212 records, and 13,404 studies remained after de-duplication. Twenty-four studies were included after title and abstract, full-text and reference-list screening by two authors independently.
Rights-based interventions were effective for some included outcomes, but evidence was of poor quality. Testing uptake for HIV and/or other sexually transmitted infections, condom use, and awareness of rights improved with intervention, but all relevant studies were at high, critical or serious risk of bias. No study included gender-based violence outcomes.
Conclusion:
Considerable risk of bias in all studies means results must be interpreted with caution. High-quality controlled studies are needed urgently in this area
