ABSTRACTWe describe the curation and use of clay samples as part of the ceramic ecology program at the Florida Museum of Natural History's Ceramic Technology Laboratory (FLMNH-CTL). We outline the history of the comparative clay sample collection at the FLMNH-CTL and detail the standard operating procedure by which samples are processed, analyzed, and curated. We also provide examples of how the clay samples have been used in research projects as well as some of the challenges inherent to studies using such samples. Our collection of processed clays and associated thin sections, which is curated in perpetuity, represents a valuable resource for ongoing and future lab endeavors and is available to other researchers focusing on Florida and adjacent regions.

Coronavirus disease-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARSCoV-2). Specimen quality, and proper transportation is vital for accurate diagnosis. This standard operating procedure is designed to educate the clinicians, nurses, paramedics, and laboratory personnel regarding proper methods of sample collection, packaging, and transportation. Nasopharyngeal swabs and/or oropharyngeal swabs should be collected for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction to detect SARS-CoV-2. The sample should be collected wearing proper personal protective equipment, packed in a triple packaging system, and transported maintaining cold chain.

An assessment of the use of insecticides needs to be done because of the threat of insecticide resistance problems in the application of vector control for dengue. A descriptive observational study was conducted to determine the susceptibility status of Ae. aegypti against 0.05% cypermethrin insecticide at Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang. The study was conducted using the WHO standard bioassay, biochemical, and molecular (PCR) assays. Interviews were conducted with selected respondents to find out the history of insecticide use. The results showed that the susceptibility status of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in the perimeter and buffer area with the WHO standard bioassay test was still vulnerable, with the mortality of Aedes aegypti samples collected from the two study sites being 100%. Biochemical tests showed that 0.05% cypermethrin was still susceptible to Ae. aegypti, with a yield of 100% mortality in both study areas. However, the results of the PCR test showed that homozygous resistance and heterozygous resistance were 80% and 20% respectively in the perimeter region, while in the buffer region it was 40% and 60%, respectively. The results of interviews with program managers showed that 100% of the officers had complied with the standard operating procedure for fogging activities with the insecticides used,  i.e. malathion and cypermethrin. Both types of insecticides have been used on a rotational basis. However, the rotation of these insecticides has not been carried out routinely and periodically. Abstrak Evaluasi terhadap penggunaan insektisida perlu dilakukan karena adanya ancaman masalah resistensi insektisida dalam aplikasi program pengendalian vektor demam berdarah dengue. Studi observasional deskriptif dilakukan untuk melihat status kerentanan Aedes aegypti terhadap insektisida sipermetrin 0,05% di Pelabuhan Tanjung Emas Semarang. Studi menggunakan uji bioassay standar WHO, biokimia, dan molekuler (PCR). Kegiatan wawancara dilakukan pada responden terpilih untuk mengetahui riwayat penggunaan insektisida. Responden dalam penelitian ini adalah pengelola program dan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Ae. aegypti di area perimeter dan buffer dengan uji bioassay standar WHO masih rentan, dengan kematian nyamuk uji yang dikoleksi dari dua lokasi studi  masing-masing sebesar 100%. Uji biokimia  menunjukkan bahwa sipermetrin 0,05% masih susceptible terhadap Ae. aegypti, dengan hasil sebesar 100% kematian di kedua area studi. Namun, uji PCR menunjukkan sudah terdapat proses mekanisme menuju resistensi dengan hasil resisten homozigot dan resisten heterozigot di area perimeter adalah 80% dan 20%, sedangkan area buffer adalah 40% dan 60%. Hasil wawancara dengan pengelola program menunjukkan 100% petugas sudah menerapkan standar, operasi, dan pelaksanaan kegiatan fogging dengan benar menggunakan insektisida bahan aktif malathion dan sipermetrin. Kedua jenis insektisida ini telah digunakan secara rotasi. Namun, rotasi insektisida tersebut belum dilakukan secara rutin dan berkala

In the United States, incarcerated pregnant women are often shackled by correctional officers. Despite being prohibited during labor and delivery at the federal level, and in 22 states and the District of Columbia, perinatal shackling remains standard operating procedure in most correctional facilities. A number of factors contribute to the continuation of this practice even in jurisdictions where it is illegal, including poor implementation of laws banning shackling, lack of training for individual correctional officers, and perpetration of stereotypes about what makes a “good” or “bad” mother. This article reviews the history of the practice of shackling pregnant inmates, assesses the current state of affairs of this practice, examines the arguments for and against perinatal shackling, and analyzes the presumptions that allow it to continue. It then explores several alternatives to shackling along with prospects for change.

Electron Microscopes

By 1940, a half dozen or so commercial or home-built transmission electron microscopes were in use for studies of the ultrastructure of matter. These operated at 30-60 kV and most pioneering microscopists were preoccupied with their search for electron transparent substrates to support dispersions of particulates or bacteria for TEM examination and did not contemplate studies of bulk materials. Metallurgist H. Mahl and other physical scientists, accustomed to examining etched, deformed or machined specimens by reflected light in the optical microscope, were also highly motivated to capitalize on the superior resolution of the electron microscope. Mahl originated several methods of preparing thin oxide or lacquer impressions of surfaces that were transparent in his 50 kV TEM. The utility of replication was recognized immediately and many variations on the theme, including two-step negative-positive replicas, soon appeared. Intense development of replica techniques slowed after 1955 but important advances still occur. The availability of 100 kV instruments, advent of thin film methods for metals and ceramics and microtoming of thin sections for biological specimens largely eliminated any need to resort to replicas.

The aim of this article is to analyze internal control in service company. The analyze used the components of internal control according to COSO: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, monitoring. Analysis of internal control used the data obtained through observation, questionnaires, interview, and documentary. Based on this analysis results can be concluded, that the dual positions refer with company SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). Separation of task does not work because that the dual positions. Therefore, the component of control activities applied at company is not in accordance with the component of control activities according to COSO. Nonconformity components still results in very effective internal control because the purpose of the internal control still remains to be achieved even though there are components that are not in accordance with the internal control components according to COSO.

New archaeological research in Borno by the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has included the analysis of pottery excavated from several sites during the 1990s. This important investigation made us search through our old files for a statistical analysis of pottery from the same region, which although completed in 1981 was never published. The material came from approximately one hundred surface collections and seven excavated sites, spread over a wide area, and resulted from fieldwork in the 1960s and 1970s. Although old, the analysis remains relevant because it provides a broad geographical context for the more recent work, as well as a large body of independent data with which the new findings can be compared. It also indicates variations in both time and space that have implications for the human history of the area, hinting at the ongoing potential of broadscale pottery analysis in this part of West Africa and having wider implications of relevance to the study of archaeological pottery elsewhere.
