Changer sa façon de changer – Grandes orientations du CSP Jura pour les décennies à venir
Authors: De Montmollin Gabriel
Published: March 2021

In seinem Beitrag « Changer sa façon de changer – Grandes orientations du CSP Jura pour les décennies à venir » ergründet Gabriel de Montmollin die zukünftigen Arbeitsschwerpunkte für die CSP in der Romandie.De Montmollin geht davon aus, dass die Gesellschaft zukünftig mit folgenden sozialen Herausforderungen konfrontiert sein wird: Die ökologischen Entwicklungen, die Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt, die Migrationsströme sowie die demografische Alterung. Diesen Herausforderungen will de Montmollin begegnen, indem er sie in unterschiedlicher Weise aufeinander bezieht und so neue Stärken und Synergien schafft:Zu den Herausforderungen «Migration» und «demografische Alterung» führt de Montmollin die Leserin / den Leser auf den Wohnungsmarkt der Stadt Genf, der bekanntlich kaum Leerbestände aufweist und in welchem hohe Mieten zu bezahlen sind – junge Menschen sowie Migrantinnen und Migranten finden kaum mehr (bezahlbare) Unterkunft. Zugleich wohnen ältere, alleinstehende Menschen – zuweilen in einsamen Lebenssituationen – alleine in grösseren Wohnungen oder Häusern. Er plädiert dafür, aus mit innovativen Wohnprojekten den beidseitigen Problemlagen (Wohnungsnot einerseits und Einsamkeit andererseits) zu begegnen.Den Herausforderungen «ökologische Entwicklung» und «Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt» will de Montmollin mit neuen protestantischen Impulsen in der Arbeitswelt begegnen: Wenn mehr und mehr Roboter den Menschen Arbeitsplätze wegnähmen, so müssten diese freiwerdenden Ressourcen eingesetzt werden für Anstrengungen im Bereich des ökologischen Wirtschaftens: die CSP sollten sich zu «grünen» CSP weiterentwickeln.Schliesslich spricht sich de Montmollin – analog den Modellen von Rotem Kreuz und Caritas – dafür aus, dass sich auch die CSP in eine nationale und internationale Struktur integrieren und dem Hilfswerk der evangelischen Kirchen der Schweiz (HEKS) fusionieren.
Transformative Spiritualität und gemeinsames Handeln. Impuls für den ökumenischen Ratschlag in Mannheim
Authors: Dietschy Beat
Published: March 2021

Beat Dietschy legt seinem Beitrag «Transformative Spiritualität und gemeinsames Handeln» die Forderung zugrunde, dass angesichts der «weltweiten systemischen Ungleichheiten» eine «Transformation der dominierenden Produktions- und Konsumweisen» notwendig sei. Er nimmt hierfür «die Kirchen und ihre entwicklungspolitischen Werke und ebenso auch andere Glaubensgemeinschaften» in die Pflicht, die «dank weltweiter Vernetzung und der Radikalität ihrer spirituellen Quellen genau auf diesem Gebiet eine grosse Kompetenz mitbringen, mit der sie transformatives Handeln und eine solidarische Lebensweise möglich machen können».Als Quelle für transformatives Handeln und solidarische Lebensweise führt Dietschy einen «vergessenen Traditionsstrang der Reformation» an, namentlich die «Gemeindereformationsbewegung» bzw. die «Revolution des ‹Gemeinen Mannes›» um Thomas Müntzer. Er weist nach, wie Müntzer auf der Basis seiner mystischen Glaubenserfahrung derjenige Reformator war, «der vielleicht am stärksten, jedenfalls radikaler als andere auf wahrhaftige Mündigkeit, Mitsprache und Gleichstellung der Laien in den Gemeinden drang» und daher dafür kämpfte, dass «Verhältnisse, die Menschen in Abhängigkeit von Kreaturen – Menschen oder geschaffenen Strukturen – halten, […] verändert werden». Daraus entwickelte sich in der Folge «ein Widerstandsrecht gegen die Obrigkeit, ja eine erste Ahnung von Volkssouveränität».Diese transformativen Bestrebungen aus der Bewegung des «Gemeinen Mannes» erachtet Dietschy als passendes Leitbild für eine heutige «Alternative zur dominierenden profitgetriebenen Weise Gesellschaft zu bilden». Diese transformativen Bestrebungen erfahren nach Dietschy ein Wiederaufleben im Phänomen der «Commons», die «ähnliche Muster gemeinsamen Handelns» aufweisen. Commons sind «selbstorganisierte Systeme, die von den betreffenden Gruppen oder Gemeinschaften selber entwickelt und gesteuert werden» und «in denen in grundlegender Weise Besitz und Nutzung von Gebrauchswerten […] an die Stelle von Eigentum [tritt]».Dietschy sieht im Wirken dieser «Commons» auch «eine wirksame Antwort auf die rechtspopulistischen Scheinlösungen für die Mehrfachkrisen, mit denen wir konfrontiert sind». Dass Rechtpopulisten und Nationalisten «mit ihren fremdenfeindlichen und libertär-antietatistischen Rezepten zugleich die soziale und politische Krise [verschärfen] statt sie zu vermindern», führt Dietschy mit abschliessenden zwölf Thesen aus.
CAS Diakonie-Entwicklung - ein Weiterbildungsangebot zur Stärkung einer diakonischen Kirche
Authors: Scherzinger Gregor
Published: March 2021

Gregor Scherzinger schickt in seinem Beitrag «CAS Diakonie-Entwicklung – ein Weiterbildungsangebot zur Stärkung der diakonischen Kirche» eine diakoniewissenschaftliche Reflexion voraus, in welcher er vom «Relevanzverlust kirchlicher Verkündigung» ausgeht und postuliert, dass insbesondere das diakonische Wirken geeignet und in der Lage ist, «kirchliche Glaubwürdigkeit in einer säkularen Gesellschaft» zu bewahren und durch die Öffnung der Kirche zu dem Menschen «dem kirchlichen Leben Impulse zu ermöglichen». D.h. durch die «zentrifugale Bewegung» soll die Kirche als Institution neu «mit Menschen von draussen in der Welt in Berührung kommen» und darin das Credo «eines menschenwilligen und menschenfreundlichen Gottes in die radikale Erfahrung der Weltlichkeit der Welt» konkretisieren. Zugleich holt die Diakonie damit «ihrem Anspruch nach die Welt in die Kirche hinein, um Kirche als Kirche in der heutigen Welt neu zu verstehen, aber auch um gleichzeitig die Welt zu einem besseren Ort für die Menschen zu verwandeln».

Diese Orientierung bietet die «theologische und diakonische Selbstvergewisserung» des Weiterbildungszertifikats CAS Diakonie-Entwicklung, das Gregor Scherzinger mit weiteren Beteiligten entwickelt hat und dessen Ausbildungsgang im Frühling 2019 zum ersten Mal gestartet ist.

In der Überzeugung, dass «Kirche und Theologie kein eigenes human- oder sozialwissenschaftliches Sonderwissen über die Zusammenhänge und Gesetzlichkeiten von Gesellschaft und Mensch» verfügt, kommt im Weiterbildungszertifikat der Aneignung von entsprechenden Fachkompetenzen, insbesondere in der Gemeinwesenarbeit, grosse Bedeutung zu.

In der Absicht, dass die kirchliche Diakonie «von der Anbieterin zur Begleiterin» wird, setzt die Weiterbildung einen Schwerpunkt in der «Gestaltung von Partizipationsprozessen im Rahmen von Freiwilligenmanagement, Projektplanung und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit» und will damit Räume öffnen, in denen «Menschen sich selbst aktiv beteiligen». Durch solche Partizipationsprozesse soll der Anspruch eingelöst werden, Kirche nahe bei den Menschen zu halten.
Kirchen für Menschen
Authors: Krieg Matthias
Published: March 2021

Matthias Krieg entwirft in seinem Beitrag mit dem programmatischen Titel «Kirchen für Menschen» anhand von zehn Thesen eine Kriteriologie für die Nutzung von reformierten Kirchenbauten. In Zentrum seiner Überlegungen steht die Überzeugung, dass die Kirchenbauten zu keinem Zeitpunkt ein «artifizieller Selbstzweck» – im Sinne einer «art pour l'art» – sein können, sondern stets ausgerichtet sein müssen auf die Anforderungen der konkret vorfindlichen Lebensgemeinschaft, der Gemeinde.

Anhand verschiedener historischer Streiflichter, die bis in die römische Antike zurückreichen, zeigt Krieg auf, dass jede Epoch ihr eigenes theologisches Raumkonzept entwarf, das gleichzeitig praktische Nutzbarkeiten sicherstellte.

In der Folge kritisiert Krieg nun, dass die kirchliche (Bau-)kultur seit dem 19. Jahrhundert weitgehend erstarrt sei und sich nicht lebendig weiterentwickelt habe. Anstatt dass die damals entstandenen Kirchenbauten in ihrer Architektur und ihrer Nutzung dem Leben der gegenwärtigen Gemeinden dienen und Möglichkeiten zur Begegnung schaffen, erfolgte stattdessen eine «anachronistische Erstarrung», die dazu führte, dass die bestehende «Multifunktionalität des Kirchenraums» zunehmend eingeschränkt wurde und die Kirchen «wieder exklusiv zu Stätten des Gebets und der Predigt» wurden. Geradezu als «ekklesiologischen Sündenfall» deklariert Krieg die Entwicklung, wonach mit dem Bau von Kirchgemeindezentren Orte der Begegnung geschaffen wurden, wobei gleichzeitig die Begegnung aus den historischen Kirchgebäuden ausgelagert worden sei. «Das christliche Gebot der Gastfreundschaft gilt bereits für das Kirchgebäude und nicht erst für das Kirchgemeindehaus!»

Nach reformierten Verständnis gibt es für Krieg «in der Geschichte zu keinem Zeitpunkt einen normativen Idealzustand». Gerade für Denkmalpflegen gehe es daher darum, bei Kirchengebäuden «schützenswerte Spuren der Geschichte sichtbar zu machen», jedoch keinesfalls damit «einen historischen Zeitpunkt für normativ zu erklären und ein Kirchgebäude historistisch an ihm einzufrieren». «Kirchgebäude sind nicht nur traditionales Erbe, das zu bewahren ist, son­dern auch missionales Potenzial, in das zu inve­stie­ren ist!»

Grooming online, sexting y problemas emocionales en adolescentes argentinos
Authors: Resett Santiago
Published: March 2021

El grooming online hacia niños y adolescentes es una problemática de suma gravedad. El objetivo de esta investigación fue medir los niveles de grooming online padecido y si el género, la edad, el sexting y los problemas emocionales eran predictores de dicha conducta. Se constituyó una muestra intencional de 727 adolescentes entre 12 y 16 años (59% mujeres) de dos escuelas privadas de la ciudad de Paraná, Argentina. Se detectó un 20% de casos de grooming, con 17% recibiendo solicitaciones por parte de adultos y un 12% de interacciones con adultos. Más varones que mujeres sufrían de grooming –aunque marginalmente- e interacciones. También a mayor edad de los adolescentes se incrementaba linealmente el grooming, las solicitaciones e interacciones. Se observó que se predecía una varianza del 23% para el grooming, de 22% para solicitudes y 23% para interacciones, con la edad, la depresión y el sexting como los predictores significativos. Los resultados indicarían que esta problemática presenta porcentajes alarmantes en dicha población.
Patient’s Perceptions of Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Published: March 2021

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a debilitating medical condition to many patients, and in cases refractory to conservative treatment, carpal tunnel decompressive surgery is indicated. In Latin America, however, little is known about the patient’s perception of the surgical procedure and their experience. Objective: In this study, we analyzed patient’s perception and the overall experience about carpal tunnel decompression in a Brazilian public institution and compared the results with literature from other countries. Methods: We conducted a prospective qualitative study with semi-structured interviews with 20 patients who underwent carpal tunnel release. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed for thematic analysis. Results: Six topics emerged from the analysis: (1) functional restriction and pain are the main reason for seeking surgery; (2) our patients considered CTS as a serious illness, contrarily to previous reports of other countries. (3) patients were satisfied with the overall surgical experience; (4) many patients did not return to work after surgery, despite reporting significant improvement; (5) patients recommend surgical treatment as soon as possible; (6) most patients considered physical therapy important in rehabilitation. Conclusion: perception of CTS surgery is influenced by various socioeconomic and psychocultural variables, and further strategies to improve patient’s outcomes and expectations are still needed. In our community, we need to improve the perception of the severity of the disease and the recovering time before returning to work.

Hidden diversity of Ctenophora revealed by new mitochondrial COI primers and sequences
Authors: Christianson Lynne , Johnson Shannon , Schultz Darrin , Haddock Steven
Published: March 2021

The mitochondrial gene cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is useful in
many taxa for phylogenetics, population genetics, metabarcoding, and
rapid species identifications. However, the phylum Ctenophora (comb
jellies) has historically been difficult to study due to divergent
mitochondrial sequences and the corresponding inability to amplify COI
with degenerate and standard COI ‘barcoding’ primers. As a result, there
are very few COI sequences available for ctenophores, despite over 200
described species in the phylum. Here, we designed new primers and
amplified the COI fragment from members of all major groups of
ctenophores, including many undescribed species. Phylogenetic analyses
of the resulting COI sequences revealed high diversity within many
groups that was not evident from more conserved 18S rDNA sequences, in
particular among the Lobata. The COI phylogenetic results also revealed
unexpected community structure within the genus Bolinopsis,
suggested new species within the genus Bathocyroe, and supported
the ecological and morphological differences of some species such as
Lampocteis cruentiventer and similar lobates (Lampocteis
sp. ‘V’ stratified by depth, and ‘A’ differentiated by color). The newly
described primers reported herein provide important tools to enable
researchers to illuminate the diversity of ctenophores worldwide via
quick molecular identifications, improve the ability to analyze
environmental DNA by improving reference libraries and amplifications,
and enable a new breadth of population genetic studies.

Acute-on-chronic right ventricular failure has a tremendously high
mortality rate and pulmonary artery hypertension plays a major role in
the progression of secondary right ventricular failure. Here, we report
a case of drug-refractory acute-on-chronic right ventricular failure due
to primary artery hypertension and a two-step approach of a percutaneous
dual-outflow extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support set-up
implanted under on-going mechanical resuscitation for immediate
biventricular support with a consequent downgrade to right ventricular
assist device after left ventricular recompensation.
Risk factors for the return of mitral regurgitation after coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve reconstruction in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Kareva Iuliia , Efendiev Vidadiue , Nesmachnyy Alexey , Rakhmonov Sardor , Chernyavskiy Alexander , Lukinov Vitaliy , Ruzmatov Timur , Gulyaeva Ksenia
Published: March 2021

Background and Aim: We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent
mitral regurgitation in two surgical treatment groups: isolated coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG) and CABG combined with mitral valve (MV)
repair in patients with moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR).
Methods: A single-centre, prospective, randomised study, which included
76 patients with ICM and moderate mitral regurgitation (MR). Study
included two groups: isolated CABG and CABG with MV repair (MVR).
Isolated annuloplasty was used to correct mitral insufficiency in the
CABG + MVR group. Results: Isolated CABG or CABG combined with MVR in
patients with ICM does not lead to a statistically significant
decreasing of MR in the long-term period compared to baseline values.
However, in one year after surgery, the degree of MR after combined
surgery is lower than the initial values. The identification of
predictors of the progression of IMR in ICM made it possible to
determine the threshold values for the effectiveness of MVR, and the
assessment of echocardiographic predictors for annuloplasty helps to
choose the right surgical tactic of patients. Conclusions: Coronary
revascularization with surgical of IMR in patients with ICM does not
increase the number of complications in the early postoperative period
compared to the group of isolated CABG. In patients with ICM and
moderate MR after isolated CABG, the progression of MR (MR of the 3rd
degree, initially 0%, after 12 months 31%, after 36 months 71%; p
<0.001) was observed even with an initially moderate expansion
of the fibrous ring of the MV.
The Economics of Higher Education in Nepal: Developing a Sustainability Plan
Authors: Acharya Sanjaya
Published: March 2021

Nepal universities are in a delicate transition now. The enrolment of students is not encouraging; rather it is declining over the years particularly in public universities. Consequently, the outflow of Nepalese students has got momentum over two decades; and nearly a half-million Nepalese students are currently enrolled in foreign universities. The quality education in Nepalese universities is crucial for the return as well as the significant inflow of Nepalese students in the universities of their homeland. However, higher education requires a sustainability plan particularly for the resource generation and promotion of scientific research/publications. Long-term vision, mission, and strategic measures are particularly lacking in Nepal universities. This requires setting objectives and attainable milestones along with specific strategic measures and financial planning that are missing now. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it proposes a monitoring framework in the form of a regression model to use as a tool and observe the improvement in higher education in the country. Secondly, it has proposed a typical Sustainability Plan considered appropriate to Nepal; however, it might be equally replicable to other universities of the developing world. Moreover, it has also suggested measures to make such a plan a success.
Effect of Mathematics Practical Work Instructional Approach on Mathematics Performance and Retention of Secondary School Students
Authors: Sochima Unodiaku Stanislus
Published: March 2021

This study determined if the practical work instructional approach (PWIA) affects senior secondary school students’ academic performance and retention of mathematics. The population of the study was 2709 SSS III students in the public secondary schools in the Nsukka zone of Enugu State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. The hypotheses were tested at p£ .05 level of significance. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted, through which 133 subjects were randomly sampled and used for the study. Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT) instrument containing essay items and developed by the researcher was used for gathering data. The MAT was subjected to experts in Mathematics Education and Measurement and Evaluation areas for face validation and its reliability estimate was determined using the Spearman-Brown proficiency formula which yielded 0.85. The MAT was used for data collection. Data collected with the MAT were analyzed using mean and standard deviations (S.D) to answer the research questions while ANCOVA statistic was used to analyze the hypotheses (p£ .05). Results of the study revealed that the practical work instructional approach is effective in teaching and learning Mathematics. Gender was found not to be a significant factor of variance in mathematics performance when PWIA is used in mathematics instruction, among other issues found in the work. It was recommended to teachers to infuse PWIA in mathematics instruction for enhanced science/technology and entrepreneurship development and sustainability in Nigeria, among other issues.
O papel das variáveis linguísticas e extralinguísticas na aquisição do /r/ em onset simples em dois municípios do Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Luiz Simone Weide , Mezzomo Carolina Lisbôa
Published: March 2021

Introdução: Durante a aquisição fonológica, existem variáveis linguísticas e extralinguísticas que podem influenciar na aquisição dos fonemas. Este estudo tem como alvo o /R/ produzido em cidades de diferentes regiões do Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivo: investigar se as variáveis linguísticas e a variável extralinguística sexo interferem na aquisição do /R/ em Santa Maria e em Crissiumal. Métodos: A pesquisa contou com 914 itens lexicais de 136 sujeitos, entre 1:6 e 4:2, com desenvolvimento fonológico típico, monolíngues, falantes do Português Brasileiro. Foi investigado o papel das variáveis linguísticas tonicidade, número de sílabas, contexto fonológico precedente e seguinte e posição na palavra, e da variável extralinguística sexo na aquisição do /R/ em onset simples. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio do Pacote Computacional VARBRUL. Resultados: A partir da análise estatística dos dados coletados, em Santa Maria, as variáveis linguísticas contexto seguinte e número de sílabas, e a variável extralinguística sexo foram estatisticamente significantes na produção do /R/. Em Crissiumal, além do contexto seguinte, a variável tonicidade foi considerada significante estatisticamente. Conclusão: Apesar de a variável contexto seguinte ter sido significante nos dois municípios, com base nos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que a maioria das variáveis linguísticas e extralinguística consideradas interferem de forma distinta na aquisição do r-forte quando este é produzido como fricativa velar/glotal (em Santa Maria) ou vibrante simples e múltipla (em Crissiumal).

Published: March 2021

Introdução: O SARS-CoV-2 se estabeleceu como um dos principais agentes etiológicos de instabilidade da função pulmonar e repercussões no trato respiratório. Devido à necessidade de suporte ventilatório prolongado, pode ser observado aumento na demanda da indicação da traqueostomia. Objetivo: verificar as evidências disponíveis sobre o manejo fonoaudiológico da traqueostomia em pacientes com COVID-19, através de uma revisão breve do conhecimento atual. Método: As buscas foram realizadas nas bases de dados do Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo, Web of Science, Scopus e Google Scholar, no período de agosto de 2020, através dos descritores “tracheostomy and COVID-19”, extraídos do Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) e dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS). Resultados: seis estudos foram selecionados, de acordo com os critérios de elegibilidade. O processo de desmame do cuff ou troca da cânula da traqueostomia foi sugerido após resultado negativo para COVID-19. Os estudos sugerem avaliação clínica da deglutição, o uso de cânulas sem fenestra, com cuff insuflado. O uso de equipamentos de proteção individual foi fortemente indicado durante os procedimentos. Não há consenso quanto à intervenção fonoaudiológica para pacientes traqueostomizados com COVID-19. Conclusão: Esta revisão não mostrou evidências científicas sobre o manejo fonoaudiológico da traqueostomia em pacientes com COVID-19.

Resultados: Não houve diferença entre grupos segundo idade, escolaridade e triagem cognitiva. Todos apresentaram melhores limiares no teste de resolução temporal após a intervenção. Os escores dos testes de qualidade de vida e sintomas depressivos não foram significantemente diferentes entre grupos e avaliações. Conclusão: O uso efetivo de próteses auditivas, associado ou não ao treinamento musical, melhorou a resolução temporal. Não houve melhora significativa na qualidade de vida, sintomas depressivos, cognição e COSI.
Reassembling the Artwork
Authors: Karlholm Dan
Published: March 2021

This article discusses how materialist philosopher Manuel Delanda’s “assemblage theory” could be of use for art studies. I begin by situating what I term art studies in relation to art history and comment on the differences. After a selective presentation of Delanda’s social ontology on assemblages, in turn following A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, I relate his theory to the concept of assemblage, its origin in the eighteenth century as well as its references as an art term from the 1950s. Theoretical assistance from Martin Heidegger and Bruno Latour allows me to specify how the notion of assemblage could be used in connection with art studies focused neither on Art nor History but on artworks, as the first assemblage, followed by other assemblages, connecting with other works, agents and institutions, i.e. social phenomena literally assembled or com-posed. I present five types of assemblages of relevance to art studies as a different way of doing history, as something ongoing and openly unfolding (assisted and assembled by us), thus theoretically immune to being “history” in the sense of over.

Keywords: art history, art studies, assemblage theory, artwork, Gilles Deleuze, Manuel DeLanda, Martin Heidegger, Bruno Latour
The Metaphysical Paintings of Giorgio de Chirico and the Latency of Synesthesia
Authors: Kuusamo Altti
Published: March 2021

My analysis will address the following questions: What is the role of time and silence in the melancholy scenes of de Chirico’s early “metaphysical period” (1911–1918) and his articles prior to the year 1920, and how can the question of time be seen as a participant or catalyst in the phenomenon of synesthesia in de Chirico’s early works? How is it that, involuntarily, we find ourselves at the brink of synesthesia when describing de Chirico’s “enigmatic” paintings? It is symptomatic of the case that there is no description of de Chirico’s early works without reference to silence. With a conjuring trick he makes time the fifth sense. Slow time and high silence unite in his scenes, the beholder’s eye moves in the petrified, naked world, where the projective process of synethesia abounds.
Transsituationaaliset esineet ja asiat osallistavassa taiteessa
Authors: Haapalainen Riikka
Published: March 2021

Taiteen niin sanottua osallistavaa käännettä on 1990-luvulta alkaen luonnehdittu siirtymänä esineistä ihmisiin, materiaalisesta immateriaaliseen. Kun taideteos syntyy ja toteutuu osallistumisen prosesseissa – sosiaalisessa vaihdossa ja vuorovaikutuksessa – jääkin sen aineellinen puoli usein vähemmälle huomiolle. Osallistavan taiteen tutkimuksissa ovatkin korostuneet ihmisten ja ilmiöiden väliset sosiaaliset ja yhteiskunnalliset suhteet.

Osallistavien teosten aineellisuus on tutkimuksellinen haaste. Se on annetusti epämääräistä ja monitulkintaista: hetkellistä, hajanaista, jälkikäteistä ja yhteismitatonta. Silti mm. Bruno Latouria seuraten väitän, että arkipäiväisillä ja satunnaisilla materiaalisilla toimijoilla on osallistavissa teosprosesseissa keskeinen merkitys: ne toimivat ihmisiä ja asioita yhteentuovina ja kanssakäymistä synnyttävinä aktiivisina välittäjinä.

Artikkelissani osoitan tanskalaisen taiteilijaryhmän Superflexin Free Shop -teoksen sekä muiden teosesimerkkien kautta, että osallistava taide on aineettomista korostuksistaan huolimatta perustavanlaatuisesti materiaalista ja esinelähtöistä. Osallistavassa taiteessa esineet ja asiat ovat vain positioituneet toisin, erilaisiksi transsituationaaleiksi suhteiksi.

Tämä teosten transsituationaalisuus – osallistavien prosessien esiin nostamien aineellisten jälkien ja aineettomien suhteiden kanssatoimijuus – merkitsee taiteen tutkimuksessa binäärisen materiaalinen–immateriaalinen-asetelmallisuuden purkamista. Taideteos tilanteissa liikkuvina suhteina on kirjoitettava aina uudestaan, mikä tutkimuksellisena asenteena korostaa kirjoittamisen poliittisuutta.

Perkembangan pasar digital yang semakin pesat menimbulkan persaingan dalam menarik pelanggan menjadi semakin ketat. Setiap pemilik toko online berusaha mencari strategi supaya tokonya mampu bertahan. Strategi yang bisa diterapkan yaitu dengan memberikan rekomendasi produk yang sesuai dengan keinginan konsumen. Kemampuan pemilik toko dalam melihat keinginan dan kebutuhan konsumen akan berdampak pada peningkatan penjualan. Dengan kemampuan tersebut pemilik toko dapat menata produknya dan membuat promosi menggunakan kombinasi produk tertentu. Algoritma apriori adalah teknik yang dipakai pada penelitian ini. Dalam algoritma tersebut dilakukan proses iterasi menggunakan nilai minimum support dan confidence guna menilai setiap kombinasi produk. Kemudian mengeliminasi kombinasi barang yang tidak mencapai minimum support. Berdasarkan algoritma tersebut diperoleh frekuensi barang yang paling banyak dibeli bersamaan untuk memberi manfaat pada manajemen dalam menyusun dan mengkombinasikan produk untuk mengoptimalkan pemasaran. Selanjutnya memanfaatkan nilai confidence yang memberikan gambaran tentang relasi antar produk. Implementasi algoritma apriori bisa dimanfaatkan guna menganalisa data transaksi pada periode tertentu. Sehingga hasil informasi yang dihasilkan algoritma ini bisa dimanfaatkan pada strategi pemasaran dan promosi produk yang sesuai oleh keinginan pelanggan.Kata Kunci—Rekomendasi, Support, Confidence, dan Algoritma Apriori.The rapid development of the digital market has led to increased competition in attracting customers. Every online shop owner tries to find strategy to make the store survive. Strategy that can be applied is to provide product recommendations that are in accordance with consumer desires. The ability of shop owners to see the desires of consumers will have an impact on increasing sales. With these capabilities shop owners can arrange their products and make promotions using certain product combinations. The technique used in this study is apriori algorithm. In the algorithm the iteration process uses a value of minimum support and confidence to assess each product combination. Then eliminate combinations that do not meet the minimum support. Based on the algorithm, we found the frequency of products that most often appear together to help management organize products to optimize marketing. The final result uses the value of confidence which gives an idea of the relationship between products. Apriori algorithm implementation can be utilized to analyze transaction data for a certain period.

White spruce growth sensitivity to climate variability in pure and mixedwood stands
Authors:   , Cardoso Jéssica Chaves
Published: March 2021

It is prudent to understand how tree growth responds to climate variability to better project their growth in the current and future changes in climate in boreal forests. In this thesis, I studied how climate variables influence individual white spruce trees (Picea glauca (Moench) Voss) over short and intermediate periods in pure and mixedwood stands in northeastern British Columbia. In Chapter 2, I studied the importance and the influence of annual, seasonal, and monthly microclimate variables on the annual growth of white spruce trees in pure and mixedwood stands. In Chapter 3, I studied the importance and the influence of microclimate variables on sap flow of white spruce trees through different time scales in these two stand types. My key finding in these two chapters is that stand composition and structure are essential determinants of how spruce radial growth and sap flow respond to fluctuations in climate variables, and how they will respond to projected future climate scenarios. A combination of warmer temperatures and drought during summer will negatively affect white spruce trees growth in pure and mixedwood stands in the studied region. Spruce sap flow in both stand types is likely to increase as the climate warms, increasing the demand for soil water. As this resource becomes less available, white spruce in both stand types are likely to respond with processes that can compromise their physiological integrity. White spruce growing in mixedwood stands might be more sensitive to drought stress than in pure stands due to the higher competition for limiting resources (primarily water). This thesis provides information of expected changes in tree growth to climate variability and demonstrates the importance of appropriate site selection to plant spruce trees and management of pure and mixedwood stands.
Indonesian University Students’ Likes and Dislikes about Emergency Remote Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Husni Rahiem Maila Dinia
Published: March 2021

This study aimed to analyze what university students in Indonesia like and dislike about the emergency remote learning process, which was implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The case of Indonesia reveals what the majority of higher education in developing countries faced during the COVID-10 period. This research used a qualitative phenomenological approach. This study's participants were 80 social studies in education students at the Faculty of Education at a state university in Jakarta, Indonesia. The inquiry consisted of a thorough study of participants' diaries of day-to-day learning and reflective essays and an online focus group of discussions. The results revealed what students liked about learning from home during the COVID-19 crisis, which was grouped into three overarching themes of flexibility and efficiency, self-care and self-development, and learning new technology. Whereas, what students did not like was grouped into three main themes: lack of structure, technological difficulties, and financial barriers. By knowing what students like and dislike, we can try to reduce aspects that are not liked and may become obstacles to learning; and further improve the activities and features that students enjoy. As a result, the quality of remote learning in this pandemic could be enhanced, and students' ability to study in any circumstances could be increased.
Urban-originated English Language Teachers Longevity: What Keeps Them in Rural Schools in Sabah?

The shortage of trained and qualified English language teachers in rural schools has always been a significant issue in Malaysia, particularly in Sabah, due to the higher proportion of rural areas. Various factors have been associated with teachers’ reluctance to serve in rural schools. Nevertheless, several urban-originated teachers are recorded to have shown persistence in serving rural schools. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons and contributing factors behind their long-term longevity in rural schools. The lived experiences of ten teachers were explored through in-depth semi-structured interviews. Data gleaned were thematically analysed following Ryan and Bernard’s (2000) recommended procedures. Results suggest that even participating teachers work in a challenging English teaching environment; this has not been a sufficient drive for them to depart from rural schools. Their longevity is attributed to perceived social supports and students factor. Furthermore, a blended concept of positive emotions was remarked as a fuel-source of teachers’ long-term persistence in rural schools. The contributions and implications of the study are also discussed.

Previous studies emphasized that there is a close connection between speech and thinking. The paper analyses the peripheral semantics of the German language's active vocabulary units to define how they represent the features of the national, linguistic picture of the world, namely, the mental traits of the German ethnos. Semantic methods and the extrapolation methods of typical secondary values on non-nonmental characteristics are used mainly; the comparative method was partially used. The contextual method was used as an auxiliary method for illustrating common ethical, aesthetic, and pragmatic guidelines (presuppositions) and stereotypes. The paper carried out: a) semantic analysis of peripheral lexical-semantic variants of arbitrarily and expediently selected notional parts of speech; b) comparison of peripheral semantics of similar words of German and Russian languages against the background of the Russian language; c) clarification of ethnoculturological connotation of individual Germanisms found in the Russian language. The article proves that peripheral semantics in its lexico-semantic, semasiological, and lexicographical understanding expresses key symptom complexes of German mentality, which can be expressed by concepts order, accuracy, family, wealth, quality, practicism and etc. It is found that the German linguistic picture of the world in comparison with the Russian one the material is marked by the minimalism of estimated values, practical orientation and is alluded to bookish style.

Review on Program Slicing Techniques towards Program Comprehension Application
Authors: Kadar Rozita , Abdul Wahab Naemah , Othman Jamal
Published: March 2021

Presently, the software system has grown in size. One of the main challenges faced by
programmers is to keep up with thousand or million lines of source code that needs to be read
and understood. The source code is an essential resource for programmers to
become familiar
with the software system. Program comprehension is important in software engineering
activities before performing maintenance tasks. One of the techniques that can assist the
programmers in comprehending software system is known as program
slicing. Program slicing
is the process of extracting parts of source code programs by tracing the programs’ control
and data flow related to some data item. In this paper, we conduct the literature review on
program slicing in order to explore the directi
on of this method by focusing on various slicing
techniques to provide a novel idea in program comprehension application.

Published: March 2021

In Malaysia, Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) of Bursa Malaysia Kuala Lumpur Composite Index
(FBMKLCI) provides charts, companies’ profile and other market data to help the local and foreign i
nvestors to
make decisions involving their investments. Until now, there have been a lot of investors who faced losses due to
making wrong investments at wrong times. The objective of this study is to forecast FBMKLCI for a one
-
month
period using different
periods of data. Besides, this study finds the suitable length of period when the forecasted
values are the most accurate for FBMKLCI. Geometric Brownian motion (GBM) of stochastic calculus is used to
predict the future indices. The results showed that th
e forecasted FBMKLCI needed 1 to 20 weeks of input data
to come out with the best values. The forecasted FBMKLCI will only be accurate within 4 weeks; after that the
values will diverge. Since the average value of MAPE for eight different forecasted values
is 1.54%, GBM can be
used to predict the future FBMKLCI.
