The insides of twelve drains in a cheese processing facility were swabbed over a period of five months. Bacterial DNA was isolated and quantified to ascertain the presence and abundance of the biofilm. Presence of Listeria spp. prs gene was found in four of the twelve drains, with one drain testing positive for the prs gene presence on three different occasions. 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing was conducted on the isolated DNA from two Listeria positive and two Listeria negative drains. The microbial community composition was evaluated. Most notably genera Streptococci and unclassified Lactobacillales were significantly different in abundance in the Listeria negative drains. Genera Flavobacterium and unclassified Xanthomonadaceae were found to be significantly more different in abundance in the LisTeria positive drains. The latter two genera were not previously associated with Listeria spp. or reported to be widespread in food processing environments (FPE), however, they help to illustrate the higher diversity that was seen in Listeria positive drains. This study suggests that even though the alpha diversity is not sigN ificantly different, there are differences between the drain biofilm composition between Listeria positive and Listeria negative drains, which can be further researched to ascertain how these organisms affect the presence of Listeria spp. inside drain biofilms.","PeriodicalId":161839,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the ASB Society","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139186067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Modern Japanese literature is full of elements that run against our everyday experience such as these and writings of female writers Tawada Yōko and Ogawa Yōko are especially inundated by disconcerting and puzzling dreamlike scenes. What meaning are they trying to convey? What function does their inclusion in the text fulfil? How do they influence structure of their worlds? These questions pose a vexing problem for anyone attempting to analyse many of the works of contemporary Japanese literature as it is not easy to find a suitable theoretical approach to answer them. In this paper through interpretation of two shorter works by both authors E.B.'s Unfulfilled Wish by Ogawa and The Bath by Tawada) using a theoretical framework based on unnatural narratology and fictional world theory I attempt to answer these questions and show the central role these elements fulfil in both world-formation and meaning-formation of the texts. I will also point out how the usage of unnatural elements places both authors firmly into the realm of the ontology-dominated postmodern literature as defined by Brian McHale.","PeriodicalId":161839,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the ASB Society","volume":"15 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139185995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many times, however, mankind tends to leap before looking and focus on the exotic and the interesting instead of that which might not seem that special to most of us, but which which can be crucial for our survival. This way, many major and important issues in astrophysics - and sciences in general - can become overlooked and take very long to resolve. One such major issue in astrophysics is the behaviour of our closest star, the Sun. While we generally assume that we have a good idea about the most significant processes in the solar interior acting as its main energy source, our attempts at explaining the dynamics and structure of the solar atmosphere (the so-called corona) are still merely an educated guesswork at best. Due to several of the magnetohydrodynamic processes which we do not yet fully understand, the temperature of the solar atmosphere is very high compared to the layers underneath and reaches millions of Kelvins. Since this is where the major mass ejections occur, some of which might be directed towards the Earth causing geomagnetic storms, it is crucial that we start not only to fully understand these processes, but also to be able to accurately predict their outcomes. As will be shown in this text however, it is not only our limited understanding of the physics which prevents us from doing that; it is also the lack of computational resources. This paper firstly briefly discusses the basic physics behind the behaviour of the solar coronal plasma. Afterwards, it discusses the coronal heating problem in more detail and finally, it outlines the major challenges we currently face which seem to prevent us from efficient simulation and complete understanding of the behaviour of our closest star.","PeriodicalId":161839,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the ASB Society","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122127603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
