Reasoning about Sexual Assault in Emerging Adults: The Role of Consent
Authors: Kaluza Justin , Conry-Murray Clare
Published: August 2021

Emerging adult college students (77 men, 82 women) in the U.S. evaluated consent and the acceptability of a sexual act in hypothetical scenarios which varied the response of the protagonist/victim, the length of the relationship and the gender of the protagonist. Judgments of the acceptability of sexual acts were strongly associated with judgments of consent. Judgments of consent and the acceptability, responsibility for and deserved-punishment for the sexual act differed depending on the victim’s responses and relationships lengths. Compared to women, men judged sex after the freezing response to be more acceptable, and the perpetrator to be less responsible and less punish-worthy. In addition, men were less likely than women to label responses where the victim froze as rape. No differences were found between participants in their first years of college compared to their last years of college.

Initially, a review of the concept of leisure was made, addressing its foundational pillars and cultural contents, poste­ riorly the relationship between individual and quality of life in cities is explained, through body practices and body awareness, as well as through environmental practices and the promotion of an increasingly active and collective environmental awareness. The relationship of oc­ cupation, belonging and right to the city is also addressed and, precisely at this point, the potential for the use of new technologies by the private sector, public authorities and civil society in the construction and appli­ cation of possibilities that permeate the universe of MIL Cities.
Cultural Barriers to Communication (CBC) facing women entrepreneurs from BPW and overcoming conditions, in the perspective of MIL Cities
Authors: Felipe C.O. , Esp K.M.Z.
Published: August 2021

This article analyzes data on Cultural Barriers to Communication — CBC and Creativity in a group of Businesswomen and Professionals — BPW, from Brazil, researched by the 20 CBC Methodology, recommended by UNESCO, which describes 20 CBC and 5 dimensions of Creativity. The objective of the research was to identify the CBCs faced by women en­ trepreneurs and their creative potential to overcome them. Data were obtained through a questionnaire applied online to BPW associates in different Brazilian regions, obtaining 350 responses among 809 associ­ ates. Based on the relationship between CBC and Creativity, we identi­ fied that the women in this sample have low CBC indicators and high Creativity indicators and, the smaller the CBCs, the greater Creativity and entrepreneurship, and vice versa. Therefore, we can see important aspects for women entrepreneurs in the MIL Cities, with sensitivity to understand the CBC and Creativity to transform reality, towards a more just, egalitarian, inclusive city.
A ORALIDADE NA AULA DE LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA:
Authors: Oliveira Raphael Dantas de , Gomes Renilson Nóbrega , Ferrarrezi Junior Celso
Published: August 2021

RESUMO: A fala, enquanto fenômeno linguístico relevante, recebeu atenção para tratamento teórico e didático-pedagógico em sala de aula, na educação básica, mais tardiamente do que a escrita. O desprezo à fala como conteúdo curricular relevante ocorreu, provavelmente, por se acreditar que o sujeito a adquire natural e suficientemente em seu círculo social próximo. Isso denotava que os alunos recorriam à escola exclusivamente para aprender a escrever. Todavia, perspectivas curriculares inauguradas, no Brasil, em 1998, com a publicação dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de Língua Portuguesa (PCN-LP), bem como a mais recente Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), têm proposto que a oralidade seja abordada em ambiente escolar com foco em situações que exigem um tratamento sistemático. Assim, propomos que o alinhamento dos dizeres curriculares supracitados com os conceitos postulados por estudiosos do campo da linguagem pode favorecer um trabalho mais produtivo com a oralidade nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa. Em função disso, relatamos um trabalho de sala de aula realizado no interior da Paraíba, em que fizemos usos de dois gêneros modernos (o podcast e o vídeo) associados à poesia, tomando como base as considerações teóricas de Antunes (2009), Carvalho e Ferrarrezi Jr. (2018), entre outros. Objetivamos demonstrar que a fala, em contexto escolar, exige a escolha de gêneros discursivos adequados e variados, além de orientações metodológicas sistemáticas para um ensino produtivo, isso tudo devidamente correlacionado a objetivos educacionais claros, aproximando o tratamento escolar da fala ao que se efetiva com os gêneros escritos.

PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE TO PATIENTS WITH BURNS IN AN EMERGENCY
Authors: Турсынбаева Г.А. , Багысбаева У.Т.
Published: August 2021

В данной статье рассмотрены основные действия при оказании медицинской помощи больным с ожогами на этапах медицинской эвакуации. Актуальность проблемы обусловлена тем, что своевременное оказание первой помощи пострадавшим предупреждает ухудшение состояния организма, что в значительной степени влияет на снижение летальности, инвалидности и сроков временной утраты трудоспособности больных и пострадавших, существенно снижает расходы на их лечение и реабилитацию [В.И. Хрупкин, 2000; Е.И. Бялик, 2001]. Особенное значение медицинская помощь на догоспитальном этапе приобретает при выраженных нарушениях кровообращения и дыхания, клинической смерти, кровотечении, переломах, термических и химических ожогах, когда неоказание помощи или запаздывание ее быстро приводит к значительному ухудшению состояния организма и даже смерти [В.А. Михайлович, А.Г. Мирошниченко, 2005; С.А. Сумин, 2005].

This article describes the main actions in providing medical care to patients with burns at the stages of medical evacuation. The urgency of the problem is due to the fact that timely first aid to victims prevents the deterioration of the body, which significantly affects the reduction of mortality, disability and the timing of temporary disability of patients and victims, significantly reduces the cost of their treatment and rehabilitation [V. I. Brilkin, 2000; E. I. Bialik, 2001]. Medical care at the prehospital stage is particularly important in cases of severe circulatory and respiratory disorders, clinical death, bleeding, fractures, thermal and chemical burns, when failure to provide assistance or its delay quickly leads to a significant deterioration of the body's condition and even death [V. A. Mikhailovich, A. G. Miroshnichenko, 2005; S. A. Sumin, 2005].

Authors: Тукпетова А.Ж. , Олжабаева Ж.Б.
Published: August 2021

Несмотря на внедрение альтернативных видов топлива (газ, энергия ветра и солнца), бензин и керосин широко используются в автомобилях. Известно, что это основная причина загрязнения окружающей среды в крупных городах. Пары бензина и керосина часто встречаются в окружающей среде. Значительная часть населения города часто прямо или косвенно подвергается воздействию паров бензина и керосина. Однако рабочие нефтехимической промышленности, нефтеперерабатывающих заводов и заправочных станций страдают от хронических травм. Пары бензина и керосина являются одними из основных загрязнителей воздуха, поражающих сердце, легкие, мозг, печень и почки. Токсикологическое действие паров бензина и керосина отражается на клеточном, органическом и популяционном уровнях. В этой статье исследуется токсикологическое действие паров бензина и керосина на белых крыс. При работе использовались гистологические и морфометрические методы. Выявлены хронические эффекты от вдыхания паров бензина и керосина во внутренних органах крыс в виде нарушений кровеносной системы, дистрофии, некробиоза и некроза паренхиматозных клеток, а также воспалительной инфильтрации клеток. При анализе результатов морфометрических показателей токсическое действие паров керосина на белых крыс было сильным.

Despite the introduction of alternative fuels (gas, wind and solar energy), gasoline and kerosene are widely used in cars. It is known to be the main cause of environmental pollution in large cities. Gasoline and kerosene vapors are often found in the environment. A significant part of the city's population is often directly or indirectly exposed to vapors of gasoline and kerosene. However, workers in the petrochemical industry, refineries and gas stations suffer from chronic injuries. Gasoline and kerosene vapors are among the main air pollutants that damage the heart, lungs, brain, liver and kidneys. The toxicological effect of gasoline and kerosene vapors is reflected at the cellular, organic and population levels. This article examines the toxicological effects of gasoline and kerosene vapors on white rats. During the work, histological and morphometric methods were used. Chronic effects of inhalation of gasoline and kerosene vapors in the internal organs of rats in the form of circulatory system disorders, degeneration, necrobiosis and necrosis of parenchymal cells, as well as inflammatory cell infiltration were revealed. When analyzing the results of morphometric indicators, the toxic effect of kerosene vapors on white rats was strong.
NEUROMONITORING IN CLINICAL PRACTICE: WITH CEREBRAL-SOMATIC PARA INFRARED OXIMETER SYSTEM

Published: August 2021

Нейромониторинг рассматривается в широком понятии, включая динамическую оценку неврологического статуса, дискретное или непрерывное использование электрофизиологических, биохимических, ультразвуковых, рентгеновских, изотопных и других методов. Несмотря на современные технологические возможности, динамическая неврологическая оценка продолжает оставаться одним из наиболее простых и важных способов оценки адекватности интенсивной терапии. Более того, данные инструментальных методов всегда должны рассматриваться только в сопоставлении с клинической картиной. Нарастание степени угнетения сознания, глубины двигательных и тонических расстройств, увеличение числа симптомов «выпадения» ЧМН отражает неэффективность терапии.

Neuromonitoring is broadly considered including dynamic neurological examination, discrete and continuous application of electrophysiological, biochemical, ultrasonic, X-ray, isotope and other methods. The dynamic neurological examination continues to remain as one of the easiest and the most important ways of adequate assessment of intensive treatment despite modern technological capabilities. Moreover, the instrumental procedure data shall be always considered just within the comparison with clinical practice. The increase of the depression of consciousness degree, the depth of movement and tonic disorders, multiplication of the incidence of SBN (Skull Brain Nerves) "loss" symptoms reflect the ineffectiveness of treatment. Cerebral - corporal para infrared oxymetrical system is suitable for estimating the patient’s (infantschildren-adults) condition with possible disorder of cerebral and/or corporal oxygenation even with keeping normal degrees of Arterial blood pressure and SpO2. rSO2 index is indicative of the balance between oxygen delivery and intake within the regions of interest. This method is used as intraoperative neuromonitoring in cases of high risk of hypoxic brain damage during surgical interventions on the vessels of the neck, surgical treatment of chronic pulmonary embolism, aneurysm and aortic dissection, as well as to assess the severity of cerebral ischemia in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia, pathology of the arteries of the head and neck, chronic pulmonary embolism. The method is based on the principle of optical spectroscopy using infrared light with a range from 650 to 1100 nm. The sensor of the device is located in the frontotemporal part at the border of the scalp. The saturation of the brain with oxygen is determined at rest in the supine position while breathing atmospheric air at all stages of surgical treatment in a continuous monitoring mode.

This study aims to analyze the use of learning resources in the field of counseling guidance. This study uses a qualitative research method based on library research (library research). Collecting data using documentation techniques derived from library sources. Data analysis uses content analysis techniques where each source or literature used is adjusted and the context's suitability is seen with other literature from books, journals or other research. At present the quality of learning and community education is strongly influenced by the conditions of existing learning resources, and this cannot be denied because if the conditions and availability of learning resources are adequate, the learning process can run well. This indirectly shows how important it is to use learning resources in a learning process. In the realm of guidance and counseling, learning resources are closely related and are often used in various implementation of guidance and counseling services, both in the formal and non-formal world of education, in this case the associated learning resources can be in the form of religion or instruments used in the successful implementation of guidance and counseling service.
Zircon Petrochronology of the Kışladaǧ Porphyry Au Deposit (Turkey)
Authors: Paolillo Luca , Chiaradia Massimo , Ulianov Alexey
Published: August 2021

Porphyry deposits typically occur in subduction-related arcs but have more recently also been described in postsubduction, collisional to extensional back-arc settings. These different tectonic environments not only might imply different genetic processes but also seem to result in different metal endowments (e.g., Au rich versus Cu rich). It is therefore relevant, also for exploration purposes, to understand the magmatic processes involved in porphyry formation in these different tectonic environments. This study focuses on the Kışladaǧ porphyry Au (17.4 Moz) deposit in western Anatolia, which is centered on a series of porphyritic monzonite stocks of high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic affinity and formed in a continental rifting environment. With 17.4 Moz of Au, Kışladaǧ is of global metallogenic importance and hence a good example for studying the genetic processes associated with porphyry deposits in extensional back-arc settings.

We herein combine a comprehensive set of new zircon textural observations, in situ zircon trace element and Hf isotope data, and previously published zircon geochronology to study the magmatic processes associated with porphyry deposit formation at Kışladaǧ. We show that mafic rejuvenation of a slowly crystallizing (between ~15.8 and 14.9 Ma) magma reservoir below Kışladaǧ immediately preceded porphyry deposit formation. Zircon trace elements and geochronology suggest a longer and deeper evolution for the early fertile magmas compared to the later infertile magmas. Magma evolution at Kışladaǧ was accompanied by crustal wall-rock assimilation. Whole-rock Nd and Sr radiogenic isotopes show that increasing asthenosphere-derived melt input under accelerated regional extension caused a loss in fertility of the system over time.

Foreign Language Students’ Voices on Blended Learning and Fully Online Classes during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ginting Daniel , . Fahmi , Barella Yusawinur , Linarsih Andini , Hamdani Beny
Published: August 2021

Due to the restrictions of direct interactions during the pandemic, educational practices have massively and simultaneously shifted to remote teaching. Remote teaching is to some extent often viewed as an ineffective means of instructional delivery. It lacks the kind of interactions between teachers and students that are primarily found in traditional classrooms. In addition to ubiquitous technical hindrances, many educators find students' learning progress hard to monitor in remote teaching. The obstacles in remote teaching have prompted the government and educators to explore the possibilities of holding face-to-face meetings in a blended learning format amid the pandemic. This paper is aimed to present a sketch of students' perceptions of the possibilities of combining face-to-face classes with online learning during a pandemic. Using online surveys for data gathering and descriptive statistics for data analysis, this study found that students’ perception of current emergencies influences their preferred mode of instructional delivery. The students appear to be much more tolerant of numerous hindrances in remote teaching than the potential risks of COVID-19 transmission. Most students in this study preferred fully online learning to blended learning. For them, health is the top priority.

Orthopaedic injuries in Major League Baseball (MLB) players can have a tremendous impact on player health, longevity, salaries, and time lost from play.

Purpose:

To summarize all data published between January 1980 and August 2019 on truncal and lower extremity orthopaedic injuries sustained by MLB players.

Methods:

A literature review of studies examining injuries in MLB was performed using the PubMed and Embase databases. Included studies focused on truncal and lower extremity injuries in professional baseball players. Studies pertaining to nonorthopaedic injuries, and case reports, were excluded.

Results:

A total of 41 articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected for the final analysis. Articles were divided based on anatomic region of injury: hip and pelvis (16%), thigh (15%), truncal (14%), knee (13%), and ankle (11%). Most studies (83.7%) were level 3 evidence. Most studies obtained data using publicly available internet resources (29.8%) compared with the MLB Health and Injury Tracking System (22.1%).

Conclusion:

This review provides physicians with a single source of the most current literature regarding truncal and lower extremity orthopaedic injuries in MLB players. Most research was published on hip and pelvic, truncal, and thigh injuries and consisted of level III evidence.

The heavy use of pesticides in banana cultivation is associated to environmental and human health degradation. Environmentally friendly alternatives for sustainable agriculture are needed to mitigate the negative impacts of chemicals. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of biocontrols in the synthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites, mainly polyphenols. Thus, three biocontrols (Vacciplant®, Callel®, and Calliete®) were applied on three cultivars of banana (Orishele, Corne, and French) for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h and the polyphenol contents were measured. Results showed that the polyphenol contents varied in function of the incubation time and the variety of banana. The highest polyphenol contents were 170.8 and 169.47 µg/g FM and were obtained with Corne-Calliete (Co-Ca) and Corne-Vacciplant (Co-V) respectively. Biocontrols Vacciplant® and Calliette® showed had the best action in stimulating polyphenol production in the three cultivars of banana.

Published: August 2021

In Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, we conducted an experimental study to evaluate the root morphology and crop yield for the intercropping of maize and cotton. Due to the shading effect of maize and the reduced root surface area of cotton root system, intercropped cotton yield was smaller (14.7%) than monoculture cotton yield. By contrast, intercropped maize with cotton yield was higher than monoculture maize yield. Compared with typical production of each crop separately, intercropping of maize and cotton showed several benefits: increased the land utilization rate, with a land equivalent ratio (LER) greater than 1; and increased the root length, root surface area, and light interception in maize, which contributed to an increase in maize yield.

Good governance in uncertain times from a worldview perspective – Reversing the threat of a closed society

What is a good governance approach to uncertainty or reflexivity? Reducing uncertainty is an important task of policy and governance, but it can also derail. That is why good governance includes holding space for uncertainty. A Christian worldview provides insights for a more relaxed handling of uncertainty. The notions of certitudo, improvisation and humility are then central. Together, they form building blocks for a post-secular perspective on governance in times of crisis.
Effect of the use of flaked maize in diets with reduced metabolic energy on performance, egg quality, and serum parameters in layer quails
Authors: Olgun Osman , Tuğçe Şentürk Esra , Yıldız Alpönder
Published: August 2021

The research was conducted to determine the effects of substituting raw maize with flaked maize in diets containing different levels of metabolic energy on the performance, egg quality, and serum parameters of layer quails. In the experiment, 120 female quails at ten weeks of age were randomly allocated to six treatment groups with four replicates, each consisting of five quails. The quails were fed six diets, with two forms of maize (raw or flaked) and three metabolic energy levels (2750, 2825 or 2900 (control) kcal/kg) during a ten-week trial. Compared with the control group, reducing the metabolic energy level of the diet to 2750 kcal/kg negatively affected egg production (P < 0,01), egg mass (P < 0,01), feed conversion ratio (P < 0,01), and serum cholesterol concentration (P < 0,05). Eggshell thickness decreased significantly in the group receiving 2750 kcal/kg metabolic energy in the diet, and the yolk b* value increased significantly (P < 0,01). The use of flaked maize in the diets significantly increased egg production (P < 0,05), egg mass (P < 0,05), eggshell thickness (P < 0,05), and yolk L* value (P < 0,01) and significantly decreased the feed conversion ratio (P < 0,05) and b* value of the yolk (P < 0,05). Although the effects of the interactions of the metabolic energy levels and forms of maize on the egg yolk b* value were significant (P < 0,01), this effect was not significant for the other parameters. The results indicate that layer quails can be fed diets containing 2825 kcal/kg metabolic energy and that replacement of raw maize with flaked maize in the diet positively affects performance and egg quality.
Organic farming in Poland and activities undertaken for its development
Authors: Nachtman Grażyna
Published: August 2021

Polish organic farming is undergoing significant transformations. In 2014, the number of ecological farms and utilised agricultural area (UAA) stopped growing, and this trend has persisted since then. It is contrary to the trend expected under the Common Agricultural Policy, which assumes that by 2030, organic farming methods will be used in 25% of UAA. The aim of the study is to assess the production and economic situation of organic farms, taking into account the role the agricultural policy of the European Union plays in this context. The study sample consisted of organic farms registered in the database of the Agricultural and Food Quality Inspection and the Polish FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network). The research period covered the years 2005, 2013 and 2018, which in some cases, to show a wider context, was expanded to the years 2019, 2020, 2004 and 2006–2012. The data was analysed in the dynamic view, taking into account the distribution of farms and UAA in voivodships, changes in the structure of crops and in the number of livestock, and the volume of production of crops and animal products at the national level.
The analysis of the above data demonstrated that the reasons behind abandoning organic farming are of an economic nature, including production scattering that makes sales difficult, farm sizes too small (which results in difficulty in organising production according to the ecological principles), heavey administrative burdens, no significant support for organic animal production, and low production profitability and low income of organic farms. However, despite the fact that the UAA under organic farming shrank in 2013–2018 by approximately a quarter, the acreage of cereals, other field crops and vegetables increased, and consequently the production of these types of agricultural crops increased significantly.
The development of the organic farming sector is conditional upon financial support and rational agricultural policy that offers suport to farmers, at the same time watching over the implementation of the environmental recommendations.
The use of the k-prototypes method in the segmentation of customers of a company in the Multi-Level Marketing
Authors: Sroka Łukasz
Published: August 2021

Segmentation of clients plays an important role in designing a company’s marketing strategy. Differentiating between groups of customers in terms of their characteristics and behaviours, and understanding how customer preferences and needs are shaped, is key to determining effective marketing tools. The aim of the paper is to present the potential of the k-prototypes method in the customer segmentation process. In the study, conducted according to the above-mentioned type of machine learning algorithm, clusters were extracted and the statistical analysis of the groups thus obtained was carried out, using sales data of a trading company operating in the Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) system for the period from September to October 2020. As a result, the company’s customers were divided into six segments, significantly different from each other in terms of features characteristic for clients of an MLM enterprise.
The k-prototypes algorithm, adopted here as a segmentation method, satisfactorily processed both numerical and categorical data, and made it possible to identify the clusters. The results obtained by means of this method demonstrated that there are groups of clients of the examined company which focused on maximizing the benefits indicated in the marketing plan as the aim of the company’s operations, customers undecided as to whether to continue in the entity’s structure, and customers who did not plan to associate their future with the examined company.
Differentiating stroke, transient ischemic attack, or hemiplegic migraine in a teenager: a case report
Authors: Ciechanowska Monika , Stachurski Jan
Published: August 2021

Background: The symptoms of stroke in the pediatric population are less evaluated than in adults. Although
certain indicators are characteristic of stroke – acute drooping of the mouth corners, hemiparesis, and headache
– they are not pathognomonic. Other diseases may manifest with similar symptoms, such as the first
episode of hemiplegic migraine, and should be differentiated from stroke at an emergency department.
Aim of the study: We present the differential diagnosis between stroke, transient ischemic attack, and first
episode of hemiplegic migraine in a teenager with alarming focal symptoms.
Case report: We present a case of 15-year-old patient with acute headache, drooping of the right mouth
corners, and hemiparesis of the right upper and lower limb. He was brought by ambulance to the emergency
department under suspicion of a stroke. A series of diagnostic tests performed at the Emergency Department
did not reveal any vascular incident. Further diagnosis was performed at the Neurology Department. The
patient was discharged from the hospital with a suspicion of first attack of hemiplegic migraine or transient
ischemic attack.
Conclusions: Differentiating stroke from other conditions in young patients is a significant challenge. The
stroke diagnostic process in children requires further research to support accurate diagnosis and, if necessary,
treatment as rapidly as possible.

Authors: Theo Lincoln J. (Nic) ,   Society for Phenomenology and Media
Published: August 2021

Although the writing of Estonian novelist Eduard Vilde has been described as feminist in asserting women’s right to individuality and equality, Mari, the protagonist in his 1916 novel Maekula Piimamees (Milkman of the Manor), does more than merely defend her standing alongside the male characters. An analysis based in Derridean differance reveals that she is instead a trickster character who delivers dramatic irony that subverts the norms of latefeudal Estonia, which would otherwise write her as dutiful wife and subservient maid. This becomes apparent through the novel’s ‘here-and-there’ narrative logic, which is apparent in a Bakhtinian threshold chronotope that underpins characterisations that reflect Merleau-Ponty’s constitutive liminality to form Mari as self-aware and self-confident in juxtaposition to the oblivious and anxious personalities of the male characters.
Education in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945
Authors: Milenović Živorad
Published: August 2021

This paper studies education during the Nazi Germany period, from 1933 to 1945. In order to achieve their goals, the Nazis who founded the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP), in addition to numerous laws and state programs, saw great importance in educational activities. The concretization of the goal of education during the period of Nazi Germany implied the education of children and youth on eugenics, nationalist, racist, anti-Semitic, ideological, occult, theosophical, militaristic and alchemical bases with the aim of encouraging and developing awareness of the importance and preservation of the pure Aryan race, about the German people as the most civilized and God-given to rule the world, with their sublime tradition and culture.

Reconstructing collaborative (self-)translations from the archive: The case of Samuel Beckett
Authors: Verhulst Pim , Beloborodova Olga , Van Hulle Dirk
Published: August 2021

When literary authors translate their own work, they sometimes collaborate with other writer-translators. While such “collaboration” is often acknowledged on the title pages of the resulting publications, the nature of each joint venture is typically very different in practice. Surviving archival traces often allow for a more detailed reconstruction of the varying working methods that were adopted for every co-translation, but it would be naïve to assume that even the most completely preserved record will make it possible to conclusively identify the function of every participant in the creative process. In this article, we will combine genetic criticism and genetic translation studies on the one hand, with microhistorical and social approaches to translation on the other, as complementary methodologies to further investigate the understudied notion of collaborative (self-)translation. By using as our test case the extant draft versions and other related materials that document the collaborative relationships between Irish bilingual author Samuel Beckett and his co-translators in French, English and German, the purpose is to show that a process-oriented and interdisciplinary approach to translation can help overcome some of the challenges and limitations presented by digital editions and archives such as the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP).
La traducción como dispositivo general de la cultura: galaxias y correspondencias desde la biblioteca de Haroldo de Campos y el archivo de Roman Jakobson (1966‑1981)
Authors: Hidalgo Nácher Max
Published: August 2021

Este artículo se acerca al problema de la traducción en Haroldo de Campos a través del estudio de su biblioteca y del archivo de Roman Jakobson en el MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), que conserva sus intercambios desde 1966 hasta 1981. La historización de la teoría y de las prácticas de traducción de Haroldo, así como su concepción de la literatura y la cultura, se hace posible a través de la reconstrucción de sus intertextos y de las redes intelectuales de las que participó y del estudio de la correspondencia y la propia biblioteca del autor.
Making Tutorial Films on Picture Books in Teacher Education
Authors: Bjørlo Berit Westergaard , Johnsrud Ellen Birgitte
Published: August 2021

In this article we analyze two films about picturebooks, made in student-led groups in a children’s literature course at university level. We also investigate the self-assessments the students wrote. The assignment was designed to explore specific Norwegian picturebooks, in this case Snill (What a girl!) by Gro Dahle and Svein Nyhus and Garmanns hemmelighet (Garmann’s secret) by Stian Hole. Our aim is to highlight ways this assignment expanded the students’ knowledge on picturebooks and literature didactics. For this purpose, we build upon picturebook theory, theories on multimodality and theories on collaborative learning processes.
Our findings support results and ideas in other studies on how to use and produce multimodal artefacts and digitized media in collaborative learning contexts (Jewitt, 2006; Jewitt, 2013; Kress & Selander, 2011; Selander, 2015), and studies on the potential of collaborative teaching and learning processes, and of students’ self-assessments (Alexander, 2017). Both films present and discuss the interplay between words and images in ways that demonstrate solid knowledge of picturebook theory. The analyses also indicate that this kind of film-making project may foster a high degree of student engagement suited to achieve in-depth knowledge on topics within the field of children’s literature.
Representation of Racial Diversity in Picturebooks in Teacher Education Programs in the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Butković Matea , Vidović Ester
Published: August 2021

In the Republic of Croatia, the importance of intercultural education and competence-oriented curricula has gained momentum in the last decade, with children’s literature being perceived as an invaluable source of intercultural learning and a fruitful tool for an exploration of global cultural diversity. Given that empirical data indicate the importance of children’s age for selecting age-appropriate intervention methods that would help combat discriminatory and prejudicial views, especially during the period between early and late childhood, this paper explores the choice of authors and picturebook titles taught in children’s literary courses at six Croatian Faculties of Teacher Education (Rijeka, Pula, Zagreb, Osijek, Zadar, and Split) with the aim to determine how university instructors interpret multicultural children’s literature and to which extent their syllabi accentuate the potential of picturebooks in fostering future pre-school and elementary-school teachers’ intercultural competence.
The findings indicate a misalignment between the objectives of intercultural education and the racial and ethnic representation of authors and their characters, especially protagonists. Furthermore, intercultural competence is not a major learning objective in the analyzed university syllabi. The choice of authors and picturebooks indicates a clear preference for white North American and European authors and white characters and protagonists. These findings highlight the need for teacher-educators, i.e., university instructors, to rethink the nature of their learning objectives and study content and to expand their reading lists with more diverse voices that challenge the traditional models that have historically left many ethnic groups misrepresented, under-represented, or fully omitted from school and university curricula.
Teaching Children’s Literature Online: Co-constructing Stories in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
Authors: Daly Nicola , Forbes Dianne
Published: August 2021

Most scholarship on teaching children’s literature has focused on teaching fiction in university literature courses (Bedford & Albright, 2011; Butler, 2006). While there is a vast literature associated with online teaching dating back more than 20 years (e.g., Palloff & Pratt, 2005), and there is increasing use of online teaching in university contexts (Rapanta et al., 2020), there are very few published descriptions or analyses of the online teaching of children’s literature. In this article we document and discuss the development of a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to be delivered in mid-2021 focusing on picturebooks developed at a university, in partnership with a popular MOOC provider. The MOOC development is analysed with respect to supporting the presence of the educators, creating clarity in the delivery of the content, providing spaces for reflection and interaction, and generating human connections in an online environment. These features are linked to the notion of storytelling (Bietti, Tilston & Bangerter, 2019). The contribution of picturebooks to supporting these aspects of effective online teaching is also discussed.
