Language Advising in a Research-Intensive, Multi-Disciplinary Learning Context: Critical Reflection on the Use of Advising Strategies
Authors: Wong Albert Cleisthenes
Published: July 2020

In this article, the author reflects on his recent advising with a particular student. The author mentions that in his early development as an advisor, he had no access to systematic training but refers to a course for a certificate in advising. He recently completed this course, which offers such training and was taught by Satoko Kato and Jo Mynard. In the course, participants learn 12 basic strategies for advising in language learning (ALL) meant to support reflective dialogue and discuss how to apply them in their individual contexts. During the course, participants have opportunities to practice these strategies and reflect on use of these skills in practice. Here, the author illustrates some of his deliberate use of these strategies employed in advising his student, drawing on the framework of the 12 strategies included in Kato and Mynard (2016) and detailed in the advisor training course. Additionally, he identifies some areas of continuing interest to him and research opportunities they might represent.
Reflection on Learner-Led Study Abroad Events in a SAC from Three Perspectives: A Learner, an Administrative Staff Member, and an Advisor
Authors: Shibata Mizuki , Hayashi Chihiro , Imamura Yuri
Published: July 2020

This paper reports on a case study of learner-led study-abroad events in the language learning space at a Japanese University. We present multiple reflections on the events from different perspectives: the event organizer (student), an administrative staff member, and a learning advisor working at the center. We also introduce the support system that a group of administrative staff members and learning advisors are in charge of helping learners to hold their events. Moreover, throughout our reflections, several factors that made the learner-led study-abroad events sustainable and successful are demonstrated.

Authors: Hooper Daniel
Published: July 2020

within a university self-access center in Japan. Utilizing a communities of practice conceptual framework (Lave & Wenger, 1991; Wenger, 1998; Wenger-Trayner & Wenger-Trayner, 2015), this study is investigating the dynamics of the learning community and its place within a larger institutional and sociocultural setting. In addition, a key focus of this research is the process of community leadership socialization and succession that takes place over a two-year period. In this summary, the research aims, theoretical foundations, methodological approach, preliminary findings, and future directions of the study are all provided. Through detailed analysis of community dynamics, institutional support, and the leadership succession process, it is hoped that this research will provide insights that can help inform learning community support and guidance within self-access contexts.

The tendency of the Bandar Lampung community to choose to carry out marriages outside the Office of Religious Affairs, this is a unique problem and needs to be conducted in a study of the Mandalam. In this paper aims to discuss the factors that cause marriages outside the Office of Religious Affairs in Bandar Lampung City. In this research the method used is a qualitative method, the type of field research, with a sociological juridical approach. Based on the results of the study it was found, that the factors that caused the community to prefer a marriage contract outside the KUA, among others; Customary / traditional factors, more solemn, sacred, comfortable and memorable, can be seen by many people, avoiding gossip and negative images, as well as more easy, simple and practical. The reason is if classified based on traditional factors, there are also factors found ease and comfort. The reason was generated from the statements of various sources with different social backgrounds. Each has its own reasons. But there are still many assumptions of the community who consider the implementation of marriage in the KUA office to spend a lot of money. Increasing the implementation of marriages outside KUA due to lack of socialization carried out by the KUA of Tanjung Karang, Kedaton and Panjang districts, the effectiveness of marriages at the KUA office

Published: July 2020

In this paper, we aim to make a detailed study on the evaluation and the characteristics of the non-inverting buck–boost converter. In order to improve the behaviour of the buck-boost converter for the three operating modes, we propose an architecture based on peak current-control. Using a three modes selection circuit and a soft start circuit, this converter is able to expand the power conversion efficiency and reduce inrush current at the feedback loop. The proposed converter is designed to operate with a variable output voltage. In addition, we use LDMOS transistors with low on-resistance, which are adequate for HV applications. The obtained results show that the proposed buck-boost converter perform perfectly compared to others architecture and it is successfully implemented using 0.18 μm CMOS TSMC technology, with an output voltage regulated to 12V and input voltage range of 4-20 V. The power conversion efficiency for the three operating modes buck, boost and buck-boost are 97.6%, 96.3% and 95.5% respectively at load current of 4A.

Published: July 2020

This research article presents the analysis of power losses in a three - phase distribution transformer, 100 kVA 22 kV-400/230V by using artificial neutral networks that can analyze the power losses in distribution transformer faster and use less variables than the original method. The measurement data were collected 100,000 sets at the transformer manufacturer factory by setting the current flow from 1% to 100% at temperature 30 °C, 35 °C, 40 °C, 45 °C, 50 °C, 55°C, 60 °C, 65 °C, 70 °C, and 75 °C to calculate the power losses in a distribution transformer. The collected data were divided 80,000 sets to use for training in order to find parameters of artificial neutral networks and 20,000 sets were used for the artificial neutral networks input in order to calculate power losses in a distribution transformer. From the power losses in the distribution transformer of artificial neutral networks testing compared with the calculated valued from the measurement. The percentage error was at the satisfactory level and can be applied to design the testing of power losses in the distribution transformer in the future.

Introduction Multiple factors influence the most important decision of choosing a branch of education and future career. Choice of Dentistry as a career option follows the Medicine stream. Dentistry is witnessing a phase of turmoil due to several factors, making it more necessary to have a post graduate degree. It is noted that in the recent years that the students opt for clinical branches of Dentistry rather than non-clinical branches, of which Oral Medicine and Radiology (OMR) is considered by many, which is opted as the last resort due to several factors. Hence, we decided to explore the reasons for the fall in admissions in the OMR faculty for postgraduation through a questionnaire and consider the modifications which can be implemented to improvise the situation, Aim and Objectives To assess the attitude of IV B.D.S. and intern students from a Dental College in Western Maharashtra towards pursuing post graduate course in Oral Medicine and Radiology To evaluate the reasons for declining rates of admission in post graduate course in Oral Medicine and Radiology To recommend corrective actions for provoking admissions in post graduate course in Oral Medicine and Radiology To make students aware of the scope of post graduate course in Oral Medicine and Radiology. Study It is a Qualitative and Quantitative type of Questionnaire based study Material and method The interns and IV BDS students of a Dental College in Western Maharashtra from the academic year 2017-18 were sensitized with a peer reviewed 10 mins presentation on the scope of OMR. They were given a semi-structured, peer reviewed, selfadministered printed questionnaire. The data was statistically analyzed using SSPS software. Results 41.2 % had planned to pursue post graduate course in Oral Surgery whereas 2.4 % in OMR, out of the 85 participants. This difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion Lack of lucrative benefits make OMR as a nonfavorite subject. Certain recommendations are made in this article to improve the state of OMR subject.

The head is an examination that is often done at each hospital, especially Posterior Anterior projection. The quality of the results of a good picture of contrast, density and detail are needed so that the exposure factor will be very influential on the head examination. The study was conducted at Al Islam Hospital in Bandung using the head phantom. Variations in kV and mAs in this study were AP projections with 64 kV and 11.2 mAs, AP schemes with 72 kV and 14.2 mAs, AP heads with 80 kV and 12.6 mAs, AP heads with 88 kV and 14, 2 mAs and AP head radiographs with 96 kV and 16.0 mAs. The maximum exposure factor value on the head phantom in anteroposterior projections based on the data is that the respondent's value has changed and only one is the same or similar from the respondent's perspective, the use of kV 64 and mAs 11.2 has a density value of the ten respondents by 94%, the value of in contrast to the ten respondents by 68%, the sharpness value of the ten respondents by 74%, and the detailed value of the ten respondents by 74%. In the use of kV 72 and mAs 14.2, the density value of the ten respondents was 42%, the contrast value of the ten respondents was 44%, the sharpness value of the ten respondents was 38%, and the retail value of the ten respondents was 38%. The use of kV 80 and mAs 12.6 has a density value of the ten respondents of 56%, the contrast value of the ten respondents by 44%, the sharpness value of the ten respondents by 40%, and the retail value of the ten respondents by 40%. In the use of kV 88 and mAs 14.2, the density value of the ten respondents was 78%, the contrast value of the ten respondents was 64%, the sharpness value of the ten respondents was 64%, and the retail value of the ten respondents was 64%.

Of Harbingers and Higher Modes: Improved Gravitational-wave Early Warning of Compact Binary Mergers
Authors: Kapadia Shasvath J. , Singh Mukesh Kumar , Shaikh Md Arif , Chatterjee Deep , Ajith Parameswaran
Published: July 2020

A crucial component to maximizing the science gain from the multi-messenger follow-up of gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary mergers is the prompt discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart. Ideally, the GW detection and localization must be reported early enough to allow for telescopes to slew to the location of the GW event before the onset of the counterpart. However, the time available for early warning is limited by the short duration spent by the dominant (ℓ = m = 2) mode within the detector’s frequency band. Nevertheless, we show that including higher modes—which enter the detector’s sensitivity band well before the dominant mode—in GW searches can enable us to significantly improve the early warning ability for compact binaries with asymmetric masses (such as neutron star–black hole (NSBH) binaries). We investigate the reduction in the localization sky-area when the ℓ = m = 3 and ℓ = m = 4 modes are included in addition to the dominant mode, considering typical slew-times of electromagnetic telescopes (30–60 s). We find that, in LIGO’s projected “O5” (“Voyager”) network with five GW detectors, some of the NSBH mergers, located at a distance of 40 Mpc, can be localized to a few hundred sq. deg. ∼45 s prior to the merger, corresponding to a reduction-factor of 3–4 (5–6) in sky-area. For a third-generation network, we get gains of up to 1.5 min in early warning times for a localization area of 100 sq. deg., even when the source is placed at 100 Mpc.

More than a dozen young stars host spiral arms in their surrounding protoplanetary disks. The excitation mechanisms of such arms are under debate. The two leading hypotheses—companion–disk interaction and gravitational instability (GI)—predict distinct motion for spirals. By imaging the MWC 758 spiral arm system at two epochs spanning ∼5 yr using the SPHERE instrument on the Very Large Telescope, we test the two hypotheses for the first time. We find that the pattern speeds of the spirals are not consistent with the GI origin. Our measurements further evince the existence of a faint “missing planet” driving the disk arms. The average spiral pattern speed is 0.°22 ± 0.°03 yr−1, pointing to a driver at

Les moyens dans les procédures d’urgence
Authors: Ach Nelly
Published: July 2020

Condition commune aux différentes procédures d’urgence existant en contentieux administratif, l’urgence ne saurait pour autant être qualifiée de moyen. En revanche, les conditions propres aux différents référés peuvent être, pour leur part, regardées comme des moyens. Eu égard aux spécificités tenant à la procédure d’urgence en général autant qu’à celles de chaque type de procédure pouvant être concernée, ce sont bien la souplesse et le pragmatisme qui définissent le mieux le traitement reçu par les moyens dans le cadre des procédures d’urgence, tant en ce qui concerne la question de l’éclosion des moyens que celle portant sur la façon que le juge peut avoir de se saisir des moyens qui lui sont soumis.
Moyens et branches du contentieux
Authors: Caille Pascal
Published: July 2020

La distinction traditionnelle des branches au sein du contentieux administratif n’a jamais été simple à appréhender. En témoigne les difficultés auxquelles s’est toujours heurtée la doctrine, pour proposer une classification des recours propre à rendre parfaitement compte de la réalité contentieuse. La difficulté s’est encore accrue avec les évolutions de la jurisprudence, sans cesse plus nuancée. L’enjeu n’est pas seulement théorique. En effet, il s’agit encore d’identifier le traitement fait des moyens suivant la branche du contentieux dans laquelle il se déploie. Or, les subtilités du contentieux administratif en la matière sont telles qu’elles en compromettent la maîtrise par le théoricien autant que par le praticien. Il en résulte d’une part l’émergence de pièges contentieux dont les plaideurs peuvent devenir les victimes. Il en résulte d’autre part un sentiment d’extrême complexité des constructions jurisprudentielles dont on ne saurait affirmer qu’elle était nécessaire mais qui encore achoppe sur la nécessaire lisibilité de l’organisation du contentieux administratif. C’est ainsi que, formulée il y a presque un demi-siècle déjà, la crainte d’une « décadence » du contentieux administratif s’avère être d’une redoutable actualité. Une question, qui n’est pas davantage nouvelle, en découle : celle de savoir si, au regard de leurs interpénétrations, l’heure n’est pas venue d’envisager une remise en cause de la distinction traditionnelle opposant le contentieux de l’excès de pouvoir et le contentieux de la pleine juridiction.
La jurisprudence d’influence de la Cour des comptes
Authors: Gaullier-Camus Florent
Published: July 2020

La Cour des comptes occupe une place singulière dans l’organisation juridictionnelle de l’ordre administratif. Bien que soumise aux décisions du Conseil d’État en tant que juge de cassation, la jurisprudence de la Cour des comptes paraît, à bien des égards, jouir d’une certaine influence. Cette influence trouve notamment des explications dans le prestige historique de l’institution, et dans sa mission bien spécifique qui lui est attribuée depuis sa création, à savoir s’assurer de l’emploi régulier des deniers publics par le jugement des comptes des comptables publics et de fait. Cette influence se manifeste par les positions qu’elle prend dans ses arrêts, mais aussi par une jurisprudence plus informelle qui mobilise les confins de son positionnement institutionnel et de ses procédures contentieuses.
Le contrôle des établissements publics sanitaires par la Cour des comptes : le remède à leur santé fragile ?
Authors: Froment-Maire Anne
Published: July 2020

Juridiction administrative ancienne, la Cour des comptes est en charge du contrôle des fonds publics, au sein des services de l’Etat, avec le concours des chambres régionales et territoriales des comptes. La Cour des comptes s’est vue également chargée de l’évaluation des politiques publiques. A cet égard, la Cour s’intéresse principalement à la gestion financière des hôpitaux publics. Mais plus qu’un simple contrôle budgétaire et comptable, la Cour des comptes bénéficie d’une stature qui lui permet de se positionner comme un acteur incontournable dans la gestion et le suivi de l’offre de soins sur le territoire, auprès des établissements publics de santé et des agences régionales de santé. En effet, dans le domaine de la santé et de la sécurité sociale, la Cour des comptes est force propositions, à travers notamment ses recommandations qui s’expriment à plusieurs égards : d’une part à l’égard des acteurs publics (qu’ils relèvent des ressources humaines ou encore du patrimoine immobilier des établissements publics), et d’autre part, à l’égard du suivi et de la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques de santé (qu’il s’agisse du pilotage de l’établissement public de santé ou encore des objectifs de rationalisation). Les travaux de la Cour des comptes visent à garantir la régularité, l’efficacité et l’efficience de la gestion et des politiques publiques constituent désormais de nouveaux référentiels pour les établissements publics de santé dans la gouvernance de leurs projets. À ce titre, elle permet de consacrer la décentralisation fonctionnelle à laquelle les établissements publics de santé participent activement, mais sans remettre en cause la gouvernance centralisée du système sanitaire française, en permettant aux agences régionales de santé de retrouver, en tant qu’autorité déconcentrée, l’essence même de leurs prérogatives.

De l’appropriation des contraintes à l’initiative stratégique : l’étude de deux constructions institutionnelles universitaires
Authors: Couston Alexandra , Grisoli Marie-Luce
Published: July 2020

La théorie néo-institutionnelle et la théorie de la régulation sociale apportent un éclairage complémentaire sur les évolutions des organisations mais la mise en pratique des changements stratégiques rencontre différentes limites et permet l’émergence de nouveaux modèles organisationnels. La mondialisation de l’économie de la connaissance impacte l’évolution des universités françaises astreintes à des choix stratégiques dans un contexte de concurrence et de politiques publiques nationales contraignantes. Au niveau local notre recherche a pour objectif d’analyser quelles sont les réponses stratégiques des organisations face aux processus institutionnels et comment sur certains territoires elles ont été en capacité de s’approprier et de construire de nouveaux modèles organisationnels.
Les facteurs explicatifs de l’attitude envers la publicité mobile : proposition et validation d’un modèle conceptuel
Authors: Turki Mouna Damak
Published: July 2020

Le bouleversement technologique a créé de nouveaux canaux médiatiques comme la publicité mobile. Dans cette recherche, on se propose d’étudier les facteurs explicatifs de l’attitude des consommateurs envers la publicité mobile. A cette fin, nous avons réalisé une enquête auprès de 230 personnes. Suite à une analyse factorielle exploratoire et ensuite confirmatoire, les résultats ont dévoilé que l’attitude envers la publicité mobile est liée essentiellement à l’utilité perçue, la crédibilité et la personnalisation. Néanmoins l’irritation et l’informativité n’étaient pas statistiquement significatifs.
Enjeux actuels de la terminaison d’une cure analytique. De l’objet palliatif aux limites de l’auto-analyse, quelle transmission ?
Authors: Ribas Denys
Published: July 2020

Le risque de l’interminabilité ne doit pas faire craindre d’accepter d’avoir un rôle palliatif lorsque l’équilibre psychique est assuré par le traitement. À l’opposé, on s’interroge sur les raisons de l’allongement des cures et l’augmentation de l’âge des analystes en formation. Le vieillissement ou la maladie de l’analyste peuvent faire que le sens du champ analytique s’inverse au profit de l’analyste. Habituellement c’est au contraire une introjection de la fonction analytique qui accompagne le déroulement du processus. L’idéal d’une auto-analyse continuant l’analyse après sa fin doit être abandonné au regard de l’efficacité du clivage et de la possible transmission analytique de taches aveugles. Les modalités techniques de la fin de la cure sont discutées. L’introjection de la fonction analytique n’est pas la même en termes de deuil avec identification ou de transitionnalité, avec un simple désinvestissement. La position parentale de l’analyste est convoquée dans la séparation. La fin de la cure peut-elle advenir sans avoir obtenu des modifications d’altérations psychiques topiques ou temporelles précoces ?
Des limites de la technoscience
Authors: Lévy-Leblond Jean-Marc
Published: July 2020

Depuis la « révolution galiléenne », les activités techniques et les connaissances scientifiques ont lentement conflué, les premières inspirant d’abord les secondes, avant que celles-là ne fécondent tardivement celles-ci. L’efficacité inédite de ce couplage a été telle que la science est désormais en passe d’être dépassée par sa propre réussite, et recouverte par les techniques mêmes qu’elle a engendrées, donnant naissance à une « technoscience ». Le paradoxe de cette nouvelle forme d’organisation des savoirs et des savoir-faire est qu’elle engendre une occultation de la spéculation intellectuelle par l’action matérielle : la transformation du monde désormais l’emporte sur sa compréhension, renouant avec la configuration archaïque antérieure à la révolution scientifique.

Women, Faith, and Social Cohesion
Authors: Lawler John Anthony , Mir Ghazala
Published: July 2020

This chapter presents findings from a research study examining the relationship between faith communities, social cohesion activity and the leadership role of women. The study examined women's exercise of leadership or influence in small intercultural, interfaith projects, which they had developed to improve social cohesion in their local communities. Data were gathered using qualitative interviews and participatory research methods, predominantly with women from a range of religious backgrounds. Findings indicated that women involved in interfaith activity often occupied roles with relatively little power within their communities. Despite this they were at times able to affect considerable influence within their own contexts. Contrary to expectations from existing evidence, changes resulting from the interfaith activities under consideration occurred despite rather than because of formal leadership. The concept and practice of leadership in interfaith activity and how this might relate to different conceptualizations of social cohesion and leadership within faith communities are discussed.
Violence Against Women and Therapeutic Jurisprudence in Egypt
Authors: El Sherif Sawsan
Published: July 2020

It has been observed by researchers that when women are targeted by domestic violence, it may also affect their children and their families. This chapter suggests that along with clinical and psychological therapy, spiritual therapy must also be used to address the challenge. This chapter states that Islamic jurisprudence offers solution for combating violence against women. It not only offers spiritual guidance and healing, but also sets rules for peaceful environment to prevent violence against women. Islamic jurisprudence also suggests punishment for violators of such rules. The chapter explores this therapeutic jurisprudential approach of Islamic jurisprudence and explores ways and means to combat violence against women in Egyptian context.
The Implications of Religious Liberty
Authors: Drenner Karla
Published: July 2020

The political terrain surrounding the legalization of same-sex marriage and the need to accommodate individual's faith based objections have been part of the public discussion since the passage of initial marriage equality statutes. These exemptions played an important part in the bill's passage and have gone largely unquestioned from proponents of marriage equality. This chapter discusses the heightened lawmaking efforts by opponents insisting on broad protection measures for religious claims based on opposition directed towards homosexuality. This Chapter discusses the resulting tension between religious freedom and marriage equality.
Reconciling Homosexuality and Spirituality in Africa as a Heresy and Survival Strategy

Published: July 2020

The fight against homophobia in Africa has motivated the emergence of various advocacy initiatives including pro-gay religious forces. One of such initiatives – which have audaciously Christianized homosexuality – has been the Nigerian based, House of Rainbow (LGBT church). Using observations and a critical exploitation of secondary sources, this book chapter critically appraises this church in the light of four socio-religious theories namely, secular humanism, postmodernism, religious liberalism and African conservatism. The chapter is divided into four main parts. The first part provides a theoretical framework composed of four movements namely postmodernism, secular humanism, religious liberalism and African conservatism. The second part explores the origin, mission and structure of House of Rainbow. The third part examines House of Rainbow as postmodernist and religious humanist Christianity; while the last part examines the extent to which the gay-only church is more a survival strategy for Nigerian LGBT people than it is a heresy.
An Islamic Faith Perspective on Using Social Media / Mainstream Media to Prompt Organ Donation/ Transplantation Awareness
Authors: Muhammad Shahid
Published: July 2020

This article describes how with exception to individuals with severe learning difficulties and neurological illnesses, which of course are devastating in their own right, there has never existed a human being who has not been aware not only of his body but also of his individuality, both physically and spiritually. Human beings are consciously aware of their own lives and, it's through understanding that awareness of a consciously constructed self is identified. The use of social media (SM) today provides unparalleled opportunities for research data collection, wider access for communication and engagement. SM/ mainstream media (MM) such as television, newspapers, magazines, and radio stations are also being used to prompt research funding for specific Long-Term Conditions (LTCs), however these forms of ‘advertising' have not been explored from an Islamic stance to prompt organ donation/ transplantation awareness on using SM/ MM. This article examines Islamic teachings to examine the action of organ transplantation.
Alphabets and Characters
Authors: Ursyn Anna
Published: July 2020

This chapter examines visual-verbal connections that can be perceived in individual letters. Cultural patterns that build our visual literacy include visual writings in many modes and styles, visible stories, and visual rhetoric. The text examines old ways of communication attained by developing writing systems and discusses kinds of characters making different alphabets. Further text is about human characters, traits of their personalities, and then examining the visual power of characters that constitute the modern English alphabet by developing alphabet-based projects linking letters with human characters and human emotions.
Jazz and Jazz Theory
Authors: Smith Stuart
Published: July 2020

The question “what is jazz?” has been asked regularly since the origins of this music in the early 20th century. Over this time, jazz has undergone many changes, but certain characteristics—such as a particular kind of syncopated rhythm, improvisation, and tonal harmony—have remained more or less constant. The central theme of this chapter is that these constant features constitute a common jazz practice analogous the common practice that underlay European art (“classical”) music from the mid-18th century to the end of 19th century. While the common practice in jazz is no longer at the creative cutting edge, the tradition it represents is alive and well. All of the major styles within this tradition are still performed by skilled jazz artists around the world. Jazz Theory follows.
Music and the Mind
Authors: Ehle Robert C.
Published: July 2020

This chapter ponders answers to several questions asked by music listeners not having direct experience with the sounds: How does the brain perceive sounds? How does the harmonic series dominate music? What are consonances and dissonances? Why do octaves sound nearly the same? What is perfect pitch? How do you have a brilliant child by boosting its sensory perception in the perinatal period?
Will repeated botulinum toxin A improve detrusor overactivity and bladder compliance in patients with chronic spinal cord injury?
Authors: Chen Sheng-Fu , Kuo Hann-Chorng
Published: July 2020

Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) can induce neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO), leading to urinary incontinence and renal damage due to low bladder compliance and high detrusor pressure during the storage and voiding of urine. In 2011, Botox® (onabotulinumtoxinA, botulinum neurotoxin serotype A [BoNT-A]) was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of NDO. Intradetrusor injection of BoNT-A has been shown to have clinical utility for the treatment of urinary incontinence, with consequent improvements in quality of life for patients. In the past 20 years, this treatment has been shown to be an effective treatment for patients with SCI refractory to antimuscarinic medication. The present review focused on publications in MEDLINE/PubMed relating to botulinum toxin to evaluate the treatment outcomes of repeated injection of BoNT-A, the mechanisms of action, results of clinical and urodynamic studies, and adverse effects.
Automation of irrigation by electronic tensiometry based on the arduino hardware platform
Authors: Pereira Rodrigo Moura , Sandri Delvio , Rios Gervásio Fernando Alves , Sousa Daniel Ataydes de Oliveira
Published: July 2020

This study developed and evaluated an electronic irrigation system controlled by soil water matric potential. The controller uses tensiometers and pressure transducers as a reading mechanism, integrated with an Arduino microcontroller board that drives the solenoid valves and a 1/3 hp single-phase motor. Four electronic tensiometers were installed in plastic containers filled with 6 kg of Red-Yellow Latosol (RYL) with a clayey texture, and another four in plastic containers filled with 7 kg of Regolitic Neosol (RN) with a sandy texture. Irrigation automation components were activated autonomously at the critical potentials of -20, -25, -30, and -35 kPa for RYL, and -10, -15, -20, and -25 kPa for RN, with a 20% variation tolerance. The entire system is able to monitor and control irrigation based on soil water matric potential. Components were deactivated when the soil water potential reached the field capacity of each soil type. Irrigation automation performance was considered satisfactory, as it kept critical potentials within the pre-established thresholds in both soil types. Automation control was set for matric potentials between -10 kPa and -35 kPa in RYL, and between -5 kPa and -25 kPa in RN.
On Single-Distance Graphs on the Rational Points in Euclidean Spaces
Authors: Bau Sheng , Johnson Peter , Noble Matt
Published: July 2020

For positive integers n and d > 0, let $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d)$ denote the graph whose vertices are the set of rational points $\mathbb {Q}^n$, with $u,v \in \mathbb {Q}^n$ being adjacent if and only if the Euclidean distance between u and v is equal to d. Such a graph is deemed “non-trivial” if d is actually realized as a distance between points of $\mathbb {Q}^n$. In this paper, we show that a space $\mathbb {Q}^n$ has the property that all pairs of non-trivial distance graphs $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d_1)$ and $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d_2)$ are isomorphic if and only if n is equal to 1, 2, or a multiple of 4. Along the way, we make a number of observations concerning the clique number of $G(\mathbb {Q}^n,\; d)$.
Seroprevalence of pathogenic Leptospira serovars in hunting dog in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Leptospirosis is an acute, subacute and chronical contagious disease of animals and humans. Causative agents of this disease belong to the genus Leptospira, family Leptospiraca. As a disease of wild animals, leptospirosis is widespread through Europe. Certain wild animals (rodents, fox and wild boars) are important reservoirs and highly probable vectors for the spread of infection into domestic animals and humans. During the hunting season, hunting dogs are often in direct or indirect contact with wild animals that could be carriers of this disease, and the possibility of appearance and spreading within this cohort of dogs is very high. The main reasons for this study on the prevalence of Leptospirosis in Bosnia and Herzegovina are the regular contact between hunting dogs and wild animals (carriers), and the lack of dataaboutLeptospirosisinhuntingdogs.In total, 175 serum samples from 15 towns of Bosnia and Herzegovina were tested. Twelve serovars of L. interrogans were used in the microscopic agglutination test. Presence of antibodies of four serovars was confirmed. Prevalence of seropositive dogs was 15.4% (27/175). Most positive dogs had a reaction to the Pomona serovar 51.8% (n=14), while the prevalence of the Sejroe serovar was 33.3%, Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar 11.1% and Bratislava serovar 3.7%. The highest number of positive reactions 55.5% (n=15) was with serum dilution of 1:200. This study showed that most infections in dogs were caused by serovars that are currently not included in commercial vaccines. One of the most efficient preventive measure could be vaccination with the serovars most often found in wild animals, as they appear to be the most common source of the infection.
Print the body. Clothes printing project
Authors: Vicerial Jeanne
Published: July 2020

Skin has become the main fabric of the 21st century, enabling the body itself to become the new customised apparel.  Over the last three years of my studies, my research was based not only on style considerations, but also on moving away from contemporary industrial constraints and going towards a new clothing production method. My research was focused on developing an artisanal process that makes clothing comparable to 3D printing.

I drew on my research of human anatomy and the body to rethink the construction of clothing. My work is an analogy between body and clothing. My designs are based on human muscular weaves. All my patterns are extracted from human anatomy to create a new, wearable skin. This method of construction allows people to wear their own anatomies, exposing the internal construction of their bodies. Each piece is entirely made of a single recycled thread. This experimental method is hand-crafted, without the use of a sewing machine. Because this process is handmade, the goal is to develop a machine that is capable of sewing customised apparel based on a 3D body scan. While doing my PhD in fashion textiles, I have collaborated alongside engineers to produce this new technology. This method both eliminates textile waste and proposes a different form of industrial customised clothing production.
Apophenia
Authors: Romain Claire
Published: July 2020

The Apophenia project raises curiosity and challenges the way we perceive certain objects that form part of our daily life. To do so, perception is altered through several experimental processes. The idea is to decontextualize the materials, creating different emotions and reconsidering their value, and to guess the origin of the materials, textures, forms and colours we thought we have always known. Ultimately, the purpose of the project is to stimulate people’s imagination, inviting them to examine their relationship with daily, intimate objects, thus encouraging reflection. The outcomes will attest to the designer’s intention to question the known applications of the materials, crafts and techniques, thus finding new ways of improving our daily surroundings.
