Entretenir les possibles
Authors:   , Sansonnens Antoine
Published: January 2023

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur les pratiques d’intervention et les modalités d’accompagnement déployées par des praticiens de la relation d’aide chargés de répondre à la mission compromise de « rendre capables » des jeunes souffrant de troubles mentaux. Élaborée principalement à partir de données qualitatives issues d’entretiens réalisés avec une cinquantaine de professionnels du champ de l’insertion et du soin en Suisse et au Québec, cette étude sociologique compréhensive montre, par un montage constitué via une démarche comparative continue, comment ces praticiens rencontrent ce que nous nommons des embarras professionnels. Ces embarras se concentrent autour de trois lieux communs émergeant des terrains enquêtés : dans la relation avec les jeunes, dans les manières de les catégoriser et aux frontières, interinstitutionnelles d’une part, et interprofessionnelles d’autre part. La mise en relief des différents embarras professionnels dégagés de l’analyse instruit les principaux défis pragmatiques rencontrés par les praticiens. Ces défis du quotidien mettent non seulement en jeu leur professionnalité mais viennent aussi questionner le sens et la finalité donnés à leur métier. Bien plus que de ponctuels ou d’exceptionnels difficultés d’agir, la thèse soutient que les embarras professionnels font partie intégrante de l’activité professionnelle de ces différents acteurs de l’insertion dans le contexte contemporain. Plus que cela encore, ils sont constitutifs de leurs métiers. En conséquence, dans la thèse, il est défendu l’idée selon laquelle les praticiens usent de tactiques, de manières de faire implicites, de tours de main qui s’inscrivent dans ce que nous appréhendons comme un paradigme interventionnel de l’entre-deux pour tenter, tant bien que mal, de composer avec les embarras rencontrés et de répondre au mandat prescrit. L’usage de la prudence en se gardant d’entretenir une certaine ouverture des possibles visant, en outre, à éviter les échecs et les ruptures relationnelles, la convocation de pratiques ingénieuses au service d’un travail permanent de négociation avec de multiples interlocuteurs et un phénomène de redistribution des savoirs et des responsabilités entre l’ensemble des acteurs impliqués dans les suivis des jeunes forment les trois axes/ressources qui composent ce paradigme interventionnel de l’entre-deux. Considérant avec sérieux ces modalités intermédiaires et fluctuantes d’agir, cet écrit doctoral propose, finalement, en important la notion anthropologique de liminalité dans le champ de l’intervention sociale, la conceptualisation d’un agir liminal que la divinité marine, Protée, qui change constamment d’apparence, personnifie entièrement. Cette pratique donne à penser certaines propriétés de l’exercice du travail social dans le contexte contemporain et invite, par ailleurs, à ouvrir la réflexion sur le sort réservé aux jeunes accompagnés.

Authors:   GAU of the Northern Trans-Urals, Sobyanin Georgy , Melyakova Olga
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the problems of labor protection, taking into account the peculiarities of the organization of labor of employees of a gas station. The working conditions of employees depend on the design features of the gas station, its location and the types of services provided, technological cycles. An analysis of the class of working conditions is given, using the example of an operator. On the basis of regulatory documents, criteria for determining the class (subclass) of working conditions are established. Taking into account the identified shortcomings, measures aimed at improving working conditions are proposed. Keywords: GAS STATION, WORKING CONDITIONS, OPERATOR, INTENSITY AND SEVERITY OF THE LABOR PROCESS, CLASS (SUBCLASS OF WORKING CONDITIONS)
Investigation of the parameters of a rotary actuator for use in the designs of grippers for fruits and vegetables
Authors:   GAU of the Northern Trans-Urals, Buchelnikova Tatiana , Panov Valentin , Ustinov Nikolay
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to determining the deviation of the angle of rotation of a soft actuator, depending on the pressure inside it. Several samples were made, which differ in wall thickness. The study was carried out on an experimental pneumatic installation, which has the ability to determine the angle of deviation when pressure is applied. Based on the results obtained, the dependence of the angle of rotation on the pressure inside the cavity and the thickness of the actuator wall was determined. As a result of the studies of twisted actuators, regression equations were obtained, which allow determining the dependence of the angle of rotation on the applied pressure. Keywords: ACTUATOR, PNEUMATIC SOFT GRIP, STEERING ANGLE, SOFT ROBOTICS
Determination of the specific initial load of the undersowing sieves according to the initial contamination of the grain material and the stability of the grain and seed separation modes
Authors:   GAU of the Northern Trans-Urals, Vikhlyantsev Andrey , Lapshin Igor , Ustinov Nikolay
Published: January 2023

In the work, an analytical dependence of the specific initial load on the initial contamination of the grain material and the purity of the resulting grain was obtained. A calculation scheme and a mathematical model of circular oscillations of the sieve mill and the movement of the lower layer of grain on the sieve have been compiled. The speed of movement of the lower layer of grain on a sieve was obtained based on the analysis of the nonlinear equation of Professor N.E. Zhukovsky. According to the specific initial load of the under-sowing sieves, the height of the layer and the mass of grain on the sieve and the stability of the kinematic mode of grain separation were established. Keywords: SIEVE, COMPLETENESS OF SEPARATION OF GRAIN MIXTURE, RATES OF PURITY OF GRAIN AND SEEDS
El rol de la rendición de cuentas como proceso participativo: Estudio de caso de empresas públicas municipales del cantón Portoviejo
Authors: Mendoza Merizalde Bryan , Rivadeneira Barreiro Lucía
Published: January 2023

En Ecuador, las empresas públicas municipales son instituciones con personería jurídica de derecho público y con autonomía en su administración. Dependiendo de su naturaleza, estas empresas públicas pueden gestionar servicios y para responder sobre el uso de recursos públicos se emplean procesos de rendición de cuentas. Sin embargo, no está claro si la rendición de cuentas es una herramienta de participación ampliamente adoptada por los ciudadanos. Por este motivo, esta investigación analiza el rol de la rendición de cuentas como un proceso participativo en las empresas públicas municipales del cantón Portoviejo en función del “Plan Portoviejo 2035” periodo 2019 - 2021. Para cumplir con el propósito, se realizó una metodología mixta, contemplando revisiones documentales de las páginas webs institucionales de las empresas públicas y posteriormente se levantó una encuesta a los ciudadanos para determinar niveles de conocimiento y aceptación sobre los mecanismos de rendición de cuentas empleados por estas entidades. Los resultados revelan que el 83% de las empresas públicas municipales de Portoviejo cumplen con el proceso de rendición de cuentas según los principios rectores de participación, transparencia, democracia, publicidad, periodicidad, interacción, interculturalidad e inclusión. Sin embargo, es un proceso unidireccional ya que el 63,02% de los ciudadanos desconoce sobre los mecanismos de rendición de cuentas utilizados, pese a lo cual existe aceptación y confianza en la gestión pública realizada. Las implicaciones de esta investigación pueden ayudar a desarrollar estrategias a las empresas públicas para adaptar procesos de rendición de cuentas donde los ciudadanos logren tener un rol protagónico.
Comparison of Graphic and Textual Biographies in Slovenian Literature
Authors: Toplak Ana
Published: January 2023

The paper compares two graphic biographies with traditional biographies of the same authors – renowned Slovenian writers Alma Karlin and Ivan Cankar. It compares the manner in which graphical and text-only biographies present the characters, the character’s emotions and expressions, which life events they emphasize, and how they address the criterion of objectivity. The results suggest that the biographies in the two Slovenian graphics are less objective than textual biographies due to the pictorial material. Textual biographies present more information about the subject, while graphic biographies focus more on individual events, statements, and emotions, and present them more appealingly.
National Messianism in the Service of Self-destruction: Miroslav Krleža’s Views on Nationalism
Authors: Musabegović Senadin
Published: January 2023

The paper focuses on the divergent national perspectives – Croatian and Serbian – regarding the reasons behind Yugoslavia's unification (the Kingdom of SHS), moreover on the causes of its disappearance from the historical scene, both as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes and as the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. From the perspective of Serbian „nationally conscious“ historians, it was the Croatian separatism that should be blamed for the downfall of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia during the Italian and German occupation in 1941 as well as the inner disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991. From the Croatian perspective, the reason behind the downfall of Yugoslavia is in Serbian unitarism, which, through Yugoslavia, aimed to dominate over the other nations. While condemning the nationalistic politics of other nations for the breakup of Yugoslavia, both of these nationalistic perspectives consider Yugoslavia an artificial creation. Miroslav Krleža, a Croatian and Yugoslav writer, criticized the politics of Croatian national separatism and Serbian unitarism in the texts he wrote during the time of the Kingdom of SHS (Yugoslavia). These writings also represent his efforts to open a possibility for a new political community based on socialistic principles. Although his polemic thought was based on the recognition of national particularities, Krleža was looking for ways to overcome the national antagonisms within socialist Yugoslavia. Although Yugoslavia disappeared, his thought on nationalistic antagonisms is relevant in the current political framework, the one in which national exclusion is dominating.
Identity Between Islam and Tradition: The Bosniak Dialectics of Adaptation
Authors: Šahinović Muedib
Published: January 2023

This paper puts forward the question of the correlation between the religiosity of Bosniaks and their identity, which has gone through numerous phases through the centuries-long process of evolution of ethnonational collective consciousness and very often reflexively influenced the content and manifestation of the phenomenon of religiosity. From a contemporary sociological perspective, through methodologically based research, it was necessary to redefine the phenomenon of the religiosity of Bosniaks and determine its real impact on identity construction. During the research, it was determined that Islam is not a key and dominant identity basis for Bosniaks, but is selectively accepted through the traditional aspect, subjected to the process of adaptation, and used (instrumentalized) only as a cohesive and identifying tool, provided Bosniaks with the substratum of collectivity and crucial specificity of their identity.
Narrative Re/Definition of Jewish-Bosnian Intracultural Identity
Authors: Džafić Šeherzada
Published: January 2023

The Jewish cultural tradition, which within the framework of the Bosnian habitus went through stages - from assimilation, concretization, activation, and even fusion - represents a paradigm of intracultural processes in the complex Bosnian society. These processes take place through various interactions, which have not been bypassed by local literature, and are representative of one part of the literary oeuvre of Isak Samokovlija. Based on the theoretical starting points of intercultural interpretation and psychoanalysis, the work questions Samokovlija's short stories in which the characters act through the suppressed own versus the foreign. This is especially expressed in the stories “Od proljeća do proljeća” (From Spring to Spring) and “Plava Jevrejka” (The Blue Jewess).

Petar Mandić is one of the most outstanding educators of the 20th century, not only in Bosnia and Herzegovina but also further. In the focus of Mandić's pedagogical work were many questions and answers related to improving school work and teaching. The theoretical study aimed to analyze and present the value of Petar Mandić's pedagogical and didactic ideas for improving educational work in school and the teaching process. Petar Mandić's scientific research covered various fields of pedagogy, psychology, and other related sciences. Mandić's pedagogical ideas shed light on family pedagogy, the history of pedagogy, methods of educational work, preschool pedagogy, home pedagogy, comparative pedagogy, pedagogical psychology, andragogy, teaching methods, pedagogical methodology, and other scientific disciplines. Contemporary didacticians find Petar Mandić's ideas theoretically and methodologically grounded, thematically and structurally articulate, and characterize them as a courageous scientific endeavor accompanied by a critical and creative attitude towards theoretical sources and technical and technological novelties in teaching. The value of Petar Mandić's didactic ideas refers to the orientation towards new, modern and productive solutions (team teaching, dual progress plan, school without classes, flexible class schedule, micro-teaching, individually planned instruction), instructions on the application of innovations (use of computers and educational television in teaching process) and knowledge about the electronic classroom and individualized instruction.
Policy(s) of Reconciliation of Family and Professional Obligations in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Ramić Samila , Salić Nusreta
Published: January 2023

The paper analyzes the policy(s) of harmonizing family and professional obligations in the context of the legal regulations of both domestic and international documents that are applied in B&H. The subject of the research is based on the analysis of family policy measures that are directly aimed at harmonizing family and professional obligations in B&H, by reviewing the existing policies and practices of social and labor legislation at the level of three administrative units: Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska and The Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As part of the research, current measures and activities that are regulated by laws in B&H, such as maternity/parental leave (time), maternity benefits (money), and childcare services (services of preschool institutions) were analyzed as important factors when harmonizing family and professional obligations. The policies of harmonizing family and professional obligations in B&H are harmonized with EU standards, but they are not sufficiently developed, which means that parents must make additional efforts to meet the demands of the workplace and the family. To achieve a balance between the demands of the labor market, the level of monetary benefits and the length of payment, the possibility of taking leave and the use of childcare services, taking into account the circumstances first in the economic sense, it is necessary to work on improving the measures in this area, respecting and the choice of the parents themselves.
Approach to Laura Papo’s Dramatic Work: The Text and Its Meanings
Authors: Prenz Kopušar Ana Cecilia
Published: January 2023

Laura Papo Bohoreta's theater, presented through the analysis of plays of the Sephardic tradition and social dramas, is the central topic of this work. On the one hand, we focus on the process of emancipation of the female characters, on the other, we highlight the need to preserve tradition. Two processes that the author combines in her dramatic work, either through conflicts between generations or through convergences between them. We present some of her texts as an example of her way of considering theater, where we find no gap between the dramatic text and the performance.
LA EXPLOTACIÓN MINERA EN LA AGENDA DEL PERIODISMO AMBIENTAL
Authors: Sánchez Martínez Hever
Published: January 2023

El presente ensayo tiene como propósito sistematizar referentes teóricos sobre la comunicación ambiental y el periodismo especializado en medio ambiente, y su relación con la explotación minera. De ahí que se aborden las concepciones teóricas de la comunicación ambiental en su relación con la educación, que encuentra en los medios un vehículo eficaz para promover una conciencia proambiental en los ciudadanos. Igualmente, se particulariza en el periodismo ambiental como una forma de especialización, encargado de contextualizar, estudiar e identificar los efectos de las intervenciones humanas en la naturaleza. Se profundiza en la explotación minera como issue relativo al medio ambiente en un primer nivel de establecimiento de la agenda, significada en un segundo nivel de diversos modos: un discurso opuesto a la minería que sostiene que esta perjudica al medio ambiente, y otro que destaca la sostenibilidad en la explotación de los recursos minerales. Para la construcción del ensayo, se aplicó el método documental, análisis-síntesis e inductivo-deductivo. Las reflexiones suscitadas, permiten concluir que: 1) la comunicación tiene una capacidad transformadora para impulsar la creación de nuevos valores y actitudes ciudadanas hacia la naturaleza; 2) el periodismo constituye una vía idónea para contribuir a la educación ambiental de los ciudadanos; 3) el tratamiento periodístico de los temas relativos a la agenda sobre explotación minera responde a lógicas complejas relativas a las instituciones mediáticas, por medio de las que condenan o aplauden la actividad extractiva.

Abstract. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is the most potent greenhouse gas (GHG), and its atmospheric abundance, albeit small, has been increasing rapidly. Although SF6 is used to assess atmospheric transport modeling and its emissions influence the climate for millennia, SF6 emission magnitudes and distributions have substantial uncertainties. In this study, we used NOAA's ground-based and airborne measurements of SF6 to estimate SF6 emissions from the United States between 2007 and 2018. Our results suggest a substantial decline of US SF6 emissions, a trend also reported in the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national inventory submitted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), implying that US mitigation efforts have had some success. However, the magnitudes of annual emissions derived from atmospheric observations are 40 %–250 % higher than the EPA's national inventory and substantially lower than the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) inventory. The regional discrepancies between the atmosphere-based estimate and EPA's inventory suggest that emissions from electric power transmission and distribution (ETD) facilities and an SF6 production plant that did not or does not report to the EPA may be underestimated in the national inventory. Furthermore, the atmosphere-based estimates show higher emissions of SF6 in winter than in summer. These enhanced wintertime emissions may result from increased maintenance of ETD equipment in southern states and increased leakage through aging brittle seals in ETD in northern states during winter. The results of this study demonstrate the success of past US SF6 emission mitigations and suggest that substantial additional emission reductions might be achieved through efforts to minimize emissions during servicing or through improving sealing materials in ETD.
Magnetic fraction of the atmospheric dust in Kraków – physicochemical characteristics and possible environmental impact

Published: January 2023

Abstract. It is well established that airborne, magnetic nano- and
microparticles accumulate in human organs (e.g. brain) thereby increasing the risk of
various diseases (e.g. cancer, neurodegenerative diseases).
Therefore, precise characterization of the material, including its
origins, is a key factor in preventing further, uncontrolled emission and
circulation. The magnetic fraction of atmospheric dust was collected in
Kraków using a static sampler and analysed using several methods
(scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry,
transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry, X-ray
diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry
(VSM) measurements). The magnetic fraction contains magnetite, hematite and
α-Fe, as well as quartz, feldspar and pyroxene often attached to the
magnetic particles. The magnetic particles vary in size, from over 20 µm to nanoparticles below 100 nm, as well as in morphology (irregular or
spherical). Their chemical composition is dominated by Fe, often with Mn,
Zn, Cr, Cu, Si, Al, S, Ca and other elements. Mössbauer spectroscopy
corroborates the composition of the material, giving further indications of
particles smaller than 100 nm present in the atmospheric dust. VSM
measurements confirm that the strength of the magnetic signal can be treated
as a measure of the anthropogenic impact on the suspended particulate matter,
once again highlighting the presence of nanoparticles.

Abstract. Gas flaring is a substantial global source of carbon
emissions to atmosphere and is targeted as a route to mitigating the oil and
gas sector carbon footprint due to the waste of resources involved.
However, quantifying carbon emissions from flaring is resource-intensive,
and no studies have yet assessed flaring emissions for offshore regions. In
this work, we present carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), ethane
(C2H6), and NOx (nitrogen oxide) data from 58 emission plumes
identified as gas flaring, measured during aircraft campaigns over the North
Sea (UK and Norway) in 2018 and 2019. Median combustion efficiency, the
efficiency with which carbon in the flared gas is converted to CO2 in
the emission plume, was 98.4 % when accounting for C2H6 or
98.7 % when only accounting for CH4. Higher combustion efficiencies
were measured in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea compared with the UK
sector. Destruction removal efficiencies (DREs), the efficiency with which
an individual species is combusted, were 98.5 % for CH4 and 97.9 %
for C2H6. Median NOx emission ratios were measured to be
0.003 ppm ppm−1 CO2 and 0.26 ppm ppm−1 CH4, and the median
C2H6:CH4 ratio was measured to be 0.11 ppm ppm−1. The
highest NOx emission ratios were observed from floating production
storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels, although this could potentially be
due to the presence of alternative NOx sources on board, such as diesel
generators. The measurements in this work were used to estimate total
emissions from the North Sea from gas flaring of 1.4 Tg yr−1 CO2,
6.3 Gg yr−1 CH4, 1.7 Gg yr−1 C2H6 and 3.9 Gg yr−1 NOx.
Ground-level gaseous pollutants (NO2, SO2, and CO) in China: daily seamless mapping and spatiotemporal variations
Authors: Wei Jing , Li Zhanqing , Wang Jun , Li Can , Gupta Pawan , Cribb Maureen
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Gaseous pollutants at the ground level seriously threaten the urban air
quality environment and public health. There are few estimates of gaseous
pollutants that are spatially and temporally resolved and continuous across
China. This study takes advantage of big data and artificial-intelligence
technologies to generate seamless daily maps of three major ambient
pollutant gases, i.e., NO2, SO2, and CO, across China from 2013 to 2020 at a uniform spatial resolution of 10 km. Cross-validation between our estimates and ground observations illustrated a high data quality on a daily basis for surface NO2, SO2, and CO concentrations, with mean coefficients of determination (root-mean-square errors) of 0.84
(7.99 µg m−3), 0.84 (10.7 µg m−3), and 0.80 (0.29 mg m−3),
respectively. We found that the COVID-19 lockdown had sustained impacts on
gaseous pollutants, where surface CO recovered to its normal level in China
on around the 34th day after the Lunar New Year, while surface SO2
and NO2 rebounded more than 2 times slower due to more CO emissions from
residents' increased indoor cooking and atmospheric oxidation capacity.
Surface NO2, SO2, and CO reached their peak annual concentrations
of 21.3 ± 8.8 µg m−3, 23.1 ± 13.3 µg m−3, and 1.01 ± 0.29 mg m−3 in 2013, then continuously declined over
time by 12 %, 55 %, and 17 %, respectively, until 2020. The declining rates were more prominent from 2013 to 2017 due to the sharper reductions in anthropogenic emissions but have slowed down in recent years. Nevertheless, people still suffer from high-frequency risk exposure to surface NO2 in
eastern China, while surface SO2 and CO have almost reached the World Health Organization (WHO)
recommended short-term air quality guidelines (AQG) level since 2018, benefiting from the
implemented stricter “ultra-low” emission standards. This reconstructed
dataset of surface gaseous pollutants will benefit future (especially
short-term) air pollution and environmental health-related studies.
Using Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) column CO2 retrievals to rapidly detect and estimate biospheric surface carbon flux anomalies
Authors: Feldman Andrew F. , Zhang Zhen , Yoshida Yasuko , Chatterjee Abhishek , Poulter Benjamin
Published: January 2023

Abstract. The global carbon cycle is experiencing continued perturbations
via increases in atmospheric carbon concentrations, which are partly reduced
by terrestrial biosphere and ocean carbon uptake. Greenhouse gas satellites
have been shown to be useful in retrieving atmospheric carbon concentrations
and observing surface and atmospheric CO2 seasonal-to-interannual
variations. However, limited attention has been placed on using satellite
column CO2 retrievals to evaluate surface CO2 fluxes from the
terrestrial biosphere without advanced inversion models at low latency. Such
applications could be useful to monitor, in near real time, biosphere carbon
fluxes during climatic anomalies like drought, heatwaves, and floods, before
more complex terrestrial biosphere model outputs and/or advanced inversion
modelling estimates become available. Here, we explore the ability of
Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) column-averaged dry air CO2
(XCO2) retrievals to directly detect and estimate terrestrial biosphere
CO2 flux anomalies using a simple mass-balance approach. An initial
global analysis of surface–atmospheric CO2 coupling and transport
conditions reveals that the western US, among a handful of other regions, is
a feasible candidate for using XCO2 for detecting terrestrial biosphere
CO2 flux anomalies. Using the CarbonTracker model reanalysis as a test bed,
we first demonstrate that a well-established mass-balance approach can
estimate monthly surface CO2 flux anomalies from XCO2 enhancements
in the western United States. The method is optimal when the study domain is
spatially extensive enough to account for atmospheric mixing and has
favorable advection conditions with contributions primarily from one
background region. We find that errors in individual soundings reduce the
ability of OCO-2 XCO2 to estimate more frequent, smaller surface
CO2 flux anomalies. However, we find that OCO-2 XCO2 can often
detect and estimate large surface flux anomalies that leave an imprint on
the atmospheric CO2 concentration anomalies beyond the retrieval
error/uncertainty associated with the observations. OCO-2 can thus be useful
for low-latency monitoring of the monthly timing and magnitude of extreme
regional terrestrial biosphere carbon anomalies.

Abstract. This paper describes the Coastal Ice Ocean Prediction System for the East Coast of Canada (CIOPS-E) running operationally at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). CIOPS-E uses a one-way downscaling technique on a 1/36° horizontal grid (~2 km) to simulate high-resolution ice and ocean conditions over the northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL). CIOPS-E is forced at its lateral boundaries with ECCC’s Regional Ice-Ocean Prediction System (RIOPS) and tidal conditions from the Oregon State University TPXO model. The three-dimensional temperature and salinity fields are spectrally nudged towards the RIOPS solution offshore of the 1500 m isobath to, effectively constrain mesoscale features in the Gulf Stream area. Over the continental shelf and the GSL, the CIOPS-E solution is free to develop fully according to model dynamics. CIOPS-E is evaluated over one year from March 2019 to February 2020. Overall, the CIOPS-E improves the representation of tides compared to ECCC’s lower resolution systems: RIOPS (1/12°) and the Regional Marine Prediction System – Gulf of St. Lawrence (RMPS-GSL, 5 km). The accuracy of the tides are comparable to the TPXO at most coastal tide gauges. Sub-tidal water levels from CIOPS-E agree well with the observed seasonal variability and show improved errors statistics at all stations compared to RIOPS and RMPS-GSL. Improvements are especially noted for the GSL. Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from CIOPS-E are lower (higher) in spring (fall) over most of the GSL compared to satellite-derived analyses and RIOPS. Comparison with in-situ observations of SST show significant improvement in CIOPS-E with respect to the RMPS-GSL. Lastly, sea ice conditions in the GSL are compared with the Canadian Ice Service (CIS) charts and the RMPS-GSL model. The sea ice cover and thickness from the pseudo-analysis component (without data assimilation) shows an overestimation compared to the CIS estimates, which is subsequently corrected in the forecast phase through the direct insertion of a Radarsat image analysis product.
The Effectiveness of Reading Aloud to Improve Students Reading Ability in Secondary School
Authors: Maqbulin Arjunina
Published: January 2023

In teaching reading, especially for senior high school students, they have to master high reading skills such as inferential, evaluative and critical reading.  To reach this purpose, many teachers ask the students to read silently through skimming or scanning. However, some researches have proven that using reading aloud in teaching reading can improve students vocabulary and make students idea sharpener in finding detail information of the text.  in addition, reading aloud is related a lot with reading comprehension. That is why it is important to know whether or not reading aloud is needed for teaching reading for senior high school. The aim of this research is to answer a research question, it is about whether or not reading aloud can improve students’ reading ability.  The method used in this research is quantitative. The data used in this research is the result of pre-test and post-test of experimental and control class which are taken from the twelve grade students of MAN 2 Nganjuk, Academic year 2022/2023. The result of this research shows that reading aloud can improve the students’ reading ability, or on the other word, there is a significance different of the students’ score after being taught by using reading aloud strategy. The next research about this strategy for higher students of EFL with different type of text is needed so it can be used as the references for teachers to improve their strategy for teaching reading.

Penser le voyage pour panser des mémoires féminines ? Une relecture de Des prénoms comme un chapelet de cauchemars de Marie-Rose Abomo-Maurin
Authors: Troh-Gueyes Léontine
Published: January 2023

Cette relecture sous l’angle de la psychanalyse littéraire du recueil de nouvelles d’Abomo-Maurin, Des prénoms comme un chapelet de cauchemars, se propose de cerner ce qui justifie l’obsession du voyage géographique chez les personnages féminins.

A l’analyse, la quête de thérapie qui s’y dessine, le mode de transport comme une métaphore d’un cabinet analytique et le processus thérapeutique qui s’en suit sont autant de stratégies qui font du voyage finalement non un déplacement dans des ailleurs géographiques mais une bifurcation dans l’intériorité du voyageur. Ainsi, à l’instar d’un thérapeute de l’âme, le voyage permet aux figures périphériques, à l’heure actuelle de la mobilité de s’affranchir des traumatismes antérieurs et de tout entrave à la rencontre de l’altérité et à la construction de nouvelles identités en contexte migratoire.

This paper investigates herding behaviour in China and Pakistan by using dynamic herding approaches and herding during extreme market movements. We use daily returns of the Shanghai stock exchange (SSE) and Pakistan stock exchange (PSX) from 2006 to 2021. Several models are used to study herding, such as least squares model, generalized linear model, and Bai and Perron's structural change model. Overall, results through the linear model show that China has significant herding, but no herding is found in Pakistan. According to Bai and Perron's model, herding is evident in two different regimes of both countries. The first regime shows herding during USA global financial crisis of 2008. The second regime was during the Hong Kong protest, which drove herding in China. In Pakistan, herding is found during political crisis and terrorism activities. From the perspective of extreme market movements, China and Pakistan both showed herding during 10% values. Contrary, no herding was found during 1% values, but Pakistan showed herding during 5% values at both extremes, and China only showed herding during the upper extreme. Hence, herding should be measured at 10% rather than 5% and 1%.

This Article explores the political, ethical, and legal implications of the Rwandan genocide, on the one hand, and the unsatisfactory role of the US and the UN in averting and/or containing the murderous violence, on the other. In addition, this article examines the advantages and disadvantages of community courts, i.e., the Gacaca Tribunals, which were established for trying/prosecuting those who were allegedly involved in the genocide. The role of the Gacaca Tribunals is analyzed in terms of their shortcomings in meting out justice to the perpetrators of the genocide at the grassroot level. Also, the functioning of the Tribunals is probed in terms of their capacity, or its lack thereof, of the Rwandan courts to deal with the number of cases, which it had to handle in case the government had not set up the Tribunals. This article argues that the genocide could have been averted if the Habyarimana-led Rwandan government was stopped from deliberately fanning ethnic tension between the Hutus and Tutsis ethnic groups for political purposes, and had the UN and the US intervened in a timely manner to stop the carnage. Keywords: Rwanda, Genocide, International Law, Rwanda Patriotic Force (RPF), Gacaca Tribunals.

MEN’S ENGAGEMENT WITH FEMINIST MOVEMENT: AURAT MARCH AND GENDER JUSTICE IN PAKISTAN
Authors:   Centre of Excellence in Gender Studies, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad Pakistan, Khan Saad Ali
Published: January 2023

This article aims to explore and analyze men's engagement with feminist struggles in Pakistan, especially in Aurat March since 2018. Based on participant observations and semi-structured interviews conducted with men/boys who have participated in Aurat March, this article attempted to understand men’s participation in social movements like Aurat March. It is reflected in the study that men who have been engaged with feminism and feminist struggles in Pakistan can not only relate to feminism or gender justice but also problematized issues like patriarchy and violence against women. For these men, such movements aiming for gender justice are not only women-centric rather are beneficial for the whole society. According to the respondents the Aurat March, as a gender transformative movement, has the potential to bring diverse groups together for the cause of women and gender rights. Men who have been actively participating in Aurat March have conceptualized feminism, problematized patriarchy, identified challenges faced by women, and necessitated more men to ally with such movements. This study also reflected a significant aspect that not all men are the same or relate to hegemonic forms of masculinity; rather some men resist those gender-oppressive ideologies and structures that are detrimental to the progress of society.
