Questions of Address: For Meaghan Morris
Authors: Frow John
Published: April 2018

In beginning to prepare this tribute to Meaghan Morris’s work I went to the bulging folder that contains the letters and postcards and draft papers she sent me over a period of about twenty years, from the early 1980s to the early 2000s (more recently we’ve communicated almost entirely by email). One of the things that strikes me, looking through these pages with their typewritten text full of crossings-out and handwritten marginalia, is the enormous care Meaghan gives to her intellectual relationships, in my case with someone she didn’t know all that well, who lived on the other side of the country, and with whom there were significant points of intellectual difference. One of the letters I’m going to quote from is ten closely typed pages long, and to write it she would first have to have read, closely and carefully, a dense and abstruse paper of mine, set in what looks like 8-point font and to me today almost unreadable. Now consider that I was just one of Meaghan’s correspondents. I don’t know how many people received letters like this from her, but I’m pretty sure she had ongoing written conversations with a number of other people in Australia and elsewhere. Meaghan was and is a teacher: she takes intellectual debate as seriously as anyone I’ve ever known, and she conducts it with care, with tact, and with passion.

Abstract. Traditional yield curve analysis shows that semi-volatile organic compounds are a major component of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). We investigated the volatility distribution of SOAs from α-pinene ozonolysis using positive electrospray ionization mass analysis and dilution- and heat-induced evaporation measurements. Laboratory chamber experiments were conducted on α-pinene ozonolysis, in the presence and absence of OH scavengers. Among these, we identified not only semi-volatile products, but also less volatile highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) and dimers. Ozonolysis products were further exposed to OH radicals to check the effects of photochemical aging. HOMs were also formed during OH-initiated photochemical aging. Most HOMs that formed from ozonolysis and photochemical aging had 10 or fewer carbons. SOA particle evaporation after instantaneous dilution was measured at  < 1 and  ∼ 40 % relative humidity. The volume fraction remaining of SOAs decreased with time and the equilibration timescale was determined to be 24–46 min for SOA evaporation. The experimental results of the equilibration timescale can be explained when the mass accommodation coefficient is assumed to be 0.1, suggesting that the existence of low-volatility materials in SOAs, kinetic inhibition, or some combined effect may affect the equilibration timescale measured in this study.
Exploring nonlinear associations between atmospheric new-particle formation and ambient variables: an information theoretic approach

Published: April 2018

Abstract. Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is a very non-linear process that includes atmospheric chemistry of pre-cursors and clustering physics as well as subsequent growth before NPF can be observed. Thanks to ongoing efforts, now there exists a tremendous amount of atmospheric data, obtained through continuous measurements directly from the atmosphere. This fact makes the analysis by human brains difficult, but on the other hand enables to usage of modern data science techniques. Here, we calculate and explore the mutual information between observed NPF events (measured at Hyytiälä, Finland) and a wide variety of simultaneously monitored ambient variables: trace gas and aerosol particle concentrations, meteorology, radiation and a few derived quantities. The purpose of the investigations is to identify key factors contributing to the NPF. The applied mutual information method finds that the formation events correlate with sulfuric acid concentration and water content, ultraviolet radiation, condensation sink and temperature. Previously, these quantities have been well-established to be important players in the phenomenon via dedicated field, laboratory and theoretical research. The novelty of this work is to demonstrate that the same results are now obtained by a data analysis method which operates without supervision and physical insight. This suggests that the method is suitable to be implemented widely in the atmospheric field to discover other interesting phenomena and its relevant variables.
Water-stress-induced breakdown of carbon–water relations: indicators from diurnal FLUXNET patterns
Authors: Nelson Jacob A. , Carvalhais Nuno , Migliavacca Mirco , Reichstein Markus , Jung Martin
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Understanding
of terrestrial carbon and water cycles is currently hampered by an
uncertainty in how to capture the large variety of plant responses to
drought. In FLUXNET, the global network of CO2 and H2O flux
observations, many sites do not uniformly report the ancillary variables
needed to study drought response physiology. To this end, we outline two
data-driven indicators based on diurnal energy, water, and carbon flux
patterns derived directly from the eddy covariance data and based on
theorized physiological responses to hydraulic and non-stomatal limitations.
Hydraulic limitations (i.e. intra-plant limitations on water movement) are
proxied using the relative diurnal centroid (CET*), which
measures the degree to which the flux of evapotranspiration (ET) is shifted
toward the morning. Non-stomatal limitations (e.g. inhibitions of biochemical
reactions, RuBisCO activity, and/or mesophyll conductance) are characterized
by the Diurnal Water–Carbon Index (DWCI), which measures the degree
of coupling between ET and gross primary productivity (GPP) within each day.
As a proof of concept we show the response of the metrics at six European
sites during the 2003 heat wave event, showing a varied response of morning
shifts and decoupling. Globally, we found indications of hydraulic
limitations in the form of significantly high frequencies of morning-shifted
days in dry/Mediterranean climates and savanna/evergreen plant functional
types (PFTs), whereas high frequencies of decoupling were dominated by dry
climates and grassland/savanna PFTs indicating a prevalence of non-stomatal
limitations in these ecosystems. Overall, both the diurnal centroid and DWCI
were associated with high net radiation and low latent energy typical of
drought. Using three water use efficiency (WUE) models, we found the mean
differences between expected and observed WUE to be −0.09 to
0.44 µmol mmol−1 and −0.29 to −0.40 µmol mmol−1 for decoupled
and morning-shifted days, respectively, compared to mean differences −1.41
to −1.42 µmol mmol−1 in dry conditions, suggesting that
morning shifts/hydraulic responses are associated with an increase in WUE,
whereas decoupling/non-stomatal limitations are not.
Moving beyond the age–depth model paradigm in deep-sea palaeoclimate archives: dual radiocarbon and stable isotope analysis on single foraminifera
Authors: Lougheed Bryan C. , Metcalfe Brett , Ninnemann Ulysses S. , Wacker Lukas
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Late-glacial palaeoclimate reconstructions from deep-sea sediment archives provide valuable insight into past rapid changes in ocean chemistry. Unfortunately, only a small proportion of the ocean floor with sufficiently high sediment accumulation rate (SAR) is suitable for such reconstructions using the long-standing age–depth model approach. We employ ultra-small radiocarbon (14C) dating on single microscopic foraminifera to demonstrate that the long-standing age–depth model method conceals large age uncertainties caused by post-depositional sediment mixing, meaning that existing studies may underestimate total geochronological error. We find that the age–depth distribution of our 14C-dated single foraminifera is in good agreement with existing bioturbation models only after one takes the possibility of Zoophycos burrowing into account. To overcome the problems associated with the age–depth paradigm, we use the first ever dual 14C and stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) analysis on single microscopic foraminifera to produce a palaeoclimate time series independent of the age–depth paradigm. This new state of the art essentially decouples single foraminifera from the age–depth paradigm to provide multiple floating, temporal snapshots of ocean chemistry, thus allowing for the successful extraction of temporally accurate palaeoclimate data from low-SAR deep-sea archives. This new method can address large geographical gaps in late-glacial benthic palaeoceanographic reconstructions by opening up vast areas of previously disregarded, low-SAR deep-sea archives to research, which will lead to an improved understanding of the global interaction between oceans and climate.
Non-destructive testing of arbitrarily shaped refractive objects with millimetre-wave synthetic aperture radar imaging
Authors: Ullmann Ingrid , Adametz Julian , Oppelt Daniel , Benedikter Andreas , Vossiek Martin
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Millimetre-wave (mmW) imaging is an emerging technique for non-destructive testing. Since many polymers are transparent in this frequency range, mmW imaging is an attractive means in the testing of polymer devices, and images of relatively high resolution are possible. This contribution presents an algorithm for the precise imaging of arbitrarily shaped dielectric objects. The reconstruction algorithm is capable of automatically detecting the object's contour, followed by a material-sensitive reconstruction of the object's interior. As an example we examined a polyethylene device with simulated material defects, which could be depicted precisely.
Analysis of a risk prevention document using dependability techniques: a first step towards an effectiveness model
Authors: Ferrer Laetitia , Curt Corinne , Tacnet Jean-Marc
Published: April 2018

Abstract. Major hazard prevention is a main challenge given that it is specifically
based on information communicated to the public. In France, preventive
information is notably provided by way of local regulatory documents.
Unfortunately, the law requires only few specifications concerning their
content; therefore one can question the impact on the general population
relative to the way the document is concretely created. Ergo, the purpose of
our work is to propose an analytical methodology to evaluate preventive risk
communication document effectiveness. The methodology is based on
dependability approaches and is applied in this paper to the Document d'Information Communal sur les Risques Majeurs (DICRIM;
in English, Municipal Information Document on Major Risks). DICRIM has to be made by mayors and addressed to the public to provide information on
major hazards affecting their municipalities. An analysis of law compliance
of the document is carried out thanks to the identification of regulatory
detection elements. These are applied to a database of 30 DICRIMs. This
analysis leads to a discussion on points such as usefulness of the missing elements.
External and internal function analysis permits the identification
of the form and content requirements and service and technical functions of
the document and its components (here its sections). Their results are used
to carry out an FMEA (failure modes and effects analysis), which allows us to
define the failure and to identify detection elements.
This permits the evaluation of the effectiveness of form and content of each components
of the document. The outputs are validated by experts from the different
fields investigated. Those results are obtained to build, in future works, a
decision support model for the municipality (or specialised consulting firms)
in charge of drawing up documents.
Does Theming Camp Experiences Lead to Greater Quality, Satisfaction, and Promotion?
Authors: Lacanienta Andrew , Ellis Gary , Taggart Allen , Wilder Jenny , Carroll Mark
Published: April 2018

Using themes (such as the Wild West or Survivor or Star Wars) in camp settings may enhance the quality of camp activities and youths’ overall camp experience. We evaluated the effect of theming camp experiences on the quality of subjective experiences of campers. Campers (N = 231) in 3 sessions of a residential 4-H camp participated in the study. One camp session was fully themed (all activities used tangible and intangible props, cues, and imaginary story contexts), a second was partially themed (intangible cues and stories only), and the third was not themed. Questionnaires measuring the quality of immediate subjective experiences (N=1,847) were completed following each of 8 activity sessions (e.g., climbing, fishing, swimming). Campers also completed a questionnaire for the purpose of overall camp evaluation at the end of their camp sessions. Activity-level data were analyzed using linear mixed modeling techniques. Ordinary least-squares regression was used to analyze campers’ overall camp experiences. Results at the activity level revealed significant theme-by-activity interaction effects. At the camp level, a hypothesized causal sequence linking theme to likelihood to recommend was supported.
Striking A Balance: An Exploration of Staff-Camper Relationship Formation
Authors: Rubin Rachel O. , Hagler Matthew , Burton Samantha A. , Rhodes Jean E.
Published: April 2018

Previous research highlights a range of positive developmental outcomes associated with attending summer camp. Close staff-camper relationships likely contribute to positive development, but little is known about how these bonds are formed. The current study utilized constructivist thematic analysis of interviews with campers (n = 8) and staff members (n = 7) at an overnight summer camp to examine the factors and processes that promote or inhibit close staff-camper relationship formation. The main themes identified were striking a balance, level of experience, and relationship-promoting behaviors. Staff members experience apparent paradoxes in their roles (e.g., relating to campers while also exerting authority), but navigate these tensions by using relationship-promoting behaviors and through increased experience. These findings suggest that staff training and supervision should emphasize relationship-promoting behaviors, continue throughout the summer, and be informed by campers’ perspectives. Additionally, camp administrators should capitalize on accrued experience by prioritizing staff retention.
Positive Youth Development at Camps for Youth with Chronic Illness: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Authors: Sendak Mya DeBoer , Schilstra Clarissa , Tye Eitan , Brotkin Samuel , Maslow Gary
Published: April 2018

This study aimed to systematically review all the literature on camps for youth with childhood onset chronic illness (COCI) utilizing the Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework to assess camp processes and psychosocial outcomes. This paper describes a unique dataset of 425 included studies published over the last 70 years and gives a broad overview of camp demographics, processes that align with PYD’s Big 3 (sustained adult-youth relationships, skill-building, and youth leadership) and measured outcomes that align with the PYD’s 5 Cs (Competence, Confidence, Character, Social Connectedness, and Compassion). Among the included studies, 36% included diabetes camps, 15% included camps accepting multiple illnesses, 12% included cancer camps, and 11% included asthma camps. The majority of participants were under the age of 16. While no study explicitly used the PYD approach, over 90% of studies described camps that deployed both active leadership and sustained positive relationships, while only 59% of studies described camps providing the opportunity to learn life skills. Although no study utilized the PYD 5 Cs framework for outcome measurement, 47% addressed outcomes related to Competence, 44% addressed Confidence, 33% addressed Connection, 4% addressed Compassion, and 2% addressed Character. This review highlights opportunities for camp leadership to align their programming with the PYD framework, to incorporate older adolescents and young adults and, ultimately, to improve positive adult outcomes for youth with COCI. It provides a starting point for future research evaluating illness-specific camps using a PYD approach.
Camp and College Parallels: Crucibles for Transition-Linked Turning-Points
Authors: Olsen Lisa K.-P. , Powell Gwynn M. , Garst Barry A. , Bixler Robert D.
Published: April 2018

This conceptual paper explores how the system of experiences that children encounter in a traditional, residential summer camp setting parallel traditional, residential, college setting for first-year students. Camp is a complex system in the sphere of youth development programs (YDP) because of the expectation for rapid adjustment by the camper to a novel physical and social environment. Many YDPs have a moderate to high level of connection with the child’s normal life, defined as similar to school or home environments and the activities in which youth regularly participate. A traditional residential summer camp offers a different degree of novelty than most other YDP settings. This paper offers a list of physical elements present in a camp setting that parallel the college setting and considers common camp-college parallels to articulate connected physical, social, emotional, and intellectual domains. This integration of ideas illustrates how the socio-physical novelty of the camp experience serves as a crucible for rapid adjustment and multi-dimensional growth in a way that is uniquely different from many other youth development settings.
La veillée en prison dans Amélie (1762) de Mme Riccoboni ou le pouvoir de la causerie amicale
Authors: Tremblay Isabelle
Published: April 2018

Mme Riccoboni, passée maître dans la rhétorique de préface auto-dépréciative, transforme la traduction et l’anglomanie en escortes narratives de légitimation : grâce à elles, elle fait entrer dans la République des lettres un texte propre à réhabiliter la voix des femmes et leur combat pour une société plus juste. À l’ombre d’Henry Fielding et sous le masque de traductrice, Mme Riccoboni investit d’une charge critique surprenante le discours de Miss Matheus, enfermée à double tour dans la prison londonienne de Newgate. Une telle ambition confirme que l’imaginaire de la traduction peut conduire à ce que Gideon Toury appelle un « acte de planification culturelle ». La présente étude sur la portée et l’impact de la veillée en prison, qui acquiert de nouvelles proportions en s’étendant sur plus de la moitié du roman, met en lumière le contrôle et le pouvoir que s’arroge la locutrice incarcérée pour meurtre grâce à la causerie amicale, comprise comme une « conversation exclusive », pour reprendre le titre d’un ouvrage d’Elizabeth Goldsmith, mais aussi le défi que lance Mme Riccoboni à ses contemporains à une époque où le roman se conçoit comme un « livre de vie [et qu’il] est perçu comme un lieu de formation sentimentale, morale, idéologique, pratique même, en prise directe sur la réalité ».
“Like the Heathen”: Liminality, Ritual, and Religious Authority in Summer
Authors: Goldsmith Meredith
Published: April 2018

Early twentieth-century Christianity is typically seen as backdrop, rather than foreground, in Wharton's work. Yet the 2016 American Literature Association panel on Wharton and religion, of which this article was originally a part, demonstrated the need to move religion from backdrop to foreground, especially, perhaps, with Wharton's New England fiction. My reading of Summer suggests that Wharton assessed the culture of Christianity around her in the rural New England of the era more carefully than has been previously supposed. The author's careful distribution of religious imagery and rhetoric at strategic points in the novel works to mark Charity's defiance and to resolve her liminality. In Summer, figures of religious authority mediate Charity's transition from the Mountain to North Dormer, from North Dormer to the Mountain, and back again.
“Because He's Not Here”: Edith Wharton's Study in the Afterlife, Ghosts, and the Art of Belief
Authors: Miyazawa Yuki
Published: April 2018

In her writings about ghost stories, Edith Wharton points out the importance of believing consciously in ghosts in order to enjoy the stories, but it seems that Wharton uses the genre to say something more about belief. Through her ghost stories, Wharton, though she generally emphasizes rationality, places herself between the rational and the irrational, a space where something or someone “not here” could be technically “here.” In this respect, Wharton makes her ghost stories a space to speculate on metaphysical questions which, in the context of William James's philosophy of religion and late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century spiritualism, was often regarded as irrational. In “The Fulness of Life,” Wharton assumes the afterlife as fact and searches for the possibility of settling difficult earthly matters in the world of the dead. Later, in “Mr. Jones,” she seeks the possible path of literary afterlife through the ghost figure and through allusions to dead authors like Edgar Allan Poe. Finally, in “The Looking-Glass,” Wharton combines themes from earlier stories, presenting a character who mediates between true and false spiritualism and between spiritualism and Catholicism.
Radiographic Resource Utilization in the Initial Referral and Evaluation of Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Authors: Oetgen Matthew E. , Matthews Allison L. , Martin Benjamin D. , Hanway Jeffrey , Kelly Shannon , Blakemore Laurel
Published: April 2018

Introduction:

The dangers of radiation exposure in children have been well studied, with assessment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) documented as having the potential for notable patient exposure. The purposes of this study were to evaluate a consecutive series of patients referred to a tertiary care pediatric hospital for AIS and to assess the type and quality of imaging obtained before referral for specialist evaluation.

Methods:

We performed a prospective study of consecutive patients referred over a 6-month period to a pediatric orthopaedic practice at a large, free-standing, urban children's hospital for evaluation of AIS. We assessed prereferral radiographic exposure, evaluating the utilization and adequacy of these radiographs.

Results:

Of a total of 131 patients enrolled in the study, 79 had received radiographs before the visit; of these, only 59 patients (75%) brought the previously obtained radiographs to the specialist consultation, and 45 patients (76%) of this subset were found to be adequate for evaluation of AIS. Of the total cohort, 56 patients (43%) required repeat radiographs because of missing or inadequate radiographs.

Discussion:

We found a large number of missing or inadequate radiographs, leading to repeat radiation exposure in this cohort. Improvements in the utilization of radiographs before orthopaedic referral could decrease unnecessary patient radiation exposure.

Published: April 2018

PURPOSE: To establish and understand nurses’ practical wisdom and interventions of support for dementia and possible dementia patients at hospital outpatient wards.METHODS: A qualitative design was used to collect data through semi-structured focus group interviews. The participants were 13 female nurses working at hospital outpatient wards. Data were analyzed using the KJ Method.RESULTS: Seven themes symbolizing the properties of the ﬁnal label were extracted as follows: ‘Observation of patients with focused awareness, and are continuously engaged with their patients’, ‘Approach to the problems of the patients, and sensitively work to understand the worries of patients based on past cases of problems’, ‘Looking out for simple ways patients can look after themselves, implicitly and thoroughly, making the best use of the ways that patients are familiar with and which they are able to understand’, ‘Preparations for scheduled consultations by developing a network to assist with problem prevention and recording episodes about problems involving the patients’, ‘Requests for cooperation to continue treatment by choosing intermediaries/resources appropriately as based on the importance of the medical treatment’, ‘Responses that do not conflict with the feelings of the family by considering the possible reluctance of accepting that a family member has dementia’, and ‘Attitude not to blame matters on dementia by reflecting on how the environment and care ought to be’.CONCLUSION: Nurses’ practical wisdom is a type of support provided for patients in a natural manner without being noticed as special or particular by the patients.

Published: April 2018

PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between exposure to media violence and bullying among school students in Jordan.METHOD: A cross-sectional, correlational design and a self-reported questionnaire were used to answer research questions. A multistage, stratified random sampling was utilized to recruit a sample of 550 students from eight governmental educational directorates in a large governorate in Jordan. A self-reported questionnaire included demographic data, Media Violence Exposure scale, and School Bullying scale was distributed.RESULTS: Prevalence of school bullying was 47%. There was a positive correlation between media violence exposure and school bullying (r=.549); significantly more boys reported exposure to media violence, perpetrating of school bullying in general, and perpetrating of physical bullying in particular than girls (p=.00). While significantly more girls reported perpetrating of relational bullying than boys (p=.00). Media violence viewing time explained 42% of variance in school bullying scores.CONCLUSION: The findings call urgent need for intervention programs tailored by specialized health professionals to combat the consequences of this growing phenomenon.
To study origin and morphologic assessment of Bayan lake, western Mongolia
Authors: E Altanbold , Kh Ulambadrakh , D Davaadorj , G Byambabayar
Published: April 2018

Information about the origin of some lakes is out in previous studies on the genetics and morphology of lakes in Mongolia. One example of these is the genetics of Bayan nuur. If we look at the morphology of the lake basin using a morpho-structure method based on previous studies, it is seen that it matches with the orthogonal fault of the Bayan lake basin. Bayan lake originated by tectonic fault is a freshwater lake supplied with the deep water. In other words, thaw depression at the southwest coast of Bayan lake basin is related to the tectonic fault from northwest to the southeast (non-barrier). It leads to a condition that water resource of the lake is supplied with the deep water which is contained in sediment for the Quaternary Glacial Period. Cross section between main fault and crustal fault at the east coast of Bayan lake basin from northeast to the southwest presents the orthogonal compound fault. If we look at overlaying depth of the lake with its area, volume, and isobath, it is seen that the origin of the lake is related to transfer of sands at the south side of the lake without a sand barrier. Thus it confirms that Bayan lake originated in depression along tectonic fault.
The results of selection and breeding activities for white goats of Zalaajinst-Edren breed
Authors: Yo Dorjbat , B Minjigdorj , B Erdenebaatar
Published: April 2018

The population of white goats created by continues research and sound selection under the Gobi ecological and climatic conditions was recognized as a distinct cashmere breed of Zalaajinst-Edren white goats in 2015 by a decree # A/59, of the Minister of Food and Agriculture of Mongolia [7]. Studies carried out in Shinejinst and Bayan-Undur soums of Bayankhongor aimag in 2011-2016 were to review the results of the work undertaken for crossing of native goats and crossbreds from the Gobi Gurvan Saikhan breed and native goats with bucks of Zalaajinst white strain. The objective of this work was to evaluate the outputs of previously conducted studies on inheritance of body color and achievements of introduced selective breeding schemes and to investigate options for further consolidation of key productive and phenotypic performances such as body color, cashmere yield and fiber quality. The size of herds of Zalaajinst-Edren breed raised in Shinejinst and Bayan-Undur soums, home to the nucleus herds has reached 217.5 thousand heads including 47.8 thousand heads of desirable type - representing the breed. Thus, the number of goats satisfies the limits allowing entering into straight breeding and kick-off line breeding exercises using existing genealogical lines: “Zalaa” – fine cashmere fiber, “Suvdan” - large body size, “Myandsan” with long cashmere fiber and “Edren” producing the most fine cashmere [6].The distinctive features of goats of Zalaajinst-Edren white breed is that they give pure white cashmere with unique quality yielding at 406.3 grams of fine down of 15.1 microns in fiber diameter and 68.6 mm in length. The pure cashmere yield is measured at 47.0-57.05 percent. No major differences in liveweight and milk and meat productivity have been recorded between Zalaajinst-Edren white breed and other cashmere flocks in Mongolia [7].

Published: April 2018

Protective footwear for occupational use conducts static electricity through the upper, linings, insole and outsole into the ground. Footwear must be made from appropriate material to reduce the possibility of electrocution and other electricity-related incidents. In this study the influence of footwear materials for the upper and lining components’ structure on their electrical properties was investigated. For investigations leather and various textile laminates were chosen. The thickness of leather coating, composition of textile laminates, the upper-lining system, and relative humidity of the environment on electrical resistivity changes were evaluated. Leather shows antistatic properties at standard humidity, but its electrical conductivity greatly increases at high humidity due to the presence of polar groups in the leather structure. Textile lining laminates composed of natural and synthetic fibres are insulators, but their systems with leather at high humidity show resistivity values close to antistatic materials. Leather acrylic coating decreases the electrical conductivity of materials.

A Revolução de Outubro na história do século XX
Authors: De Moraes João Quartim
Published: April 2018

Evocado em 1848 por Marx e Engels, o espectro do comunismo encarnou-se em 1871 na Comuna de Paris. Nas décadas seguintes, a perspectiva da conquista do poder pela classe operária deslocou-se para a Alemanha. Desde 1907, a II Internacional mobilizara-se contra a guerra. Quando esta eclodiu, em 1914, a maioria dos dirigentes socialdemocratas dos países beligerantes aderiu ao patriotismo belicoso. Lênin fazia parte da minoria que condenou a carnificina, explicando-a pela transformação imperialista do modo capitalista de produção. Em fevereiro de 1917 o povo russo derrubou o Czar, mas não conseguiu nem a paz nem a terra. Em outubro 1917, os sovietes conquistaram o poder. Entre 1918 e 1924, sucessivos levantes proletários abalaram a Europa devastada e dizimada pela guerra. A Internacional Comunista foi fundada em 1919 para coordenar, a partir da Rússia Soviética, as lutas operárias e anticoloniais. Eles aprofundaram-se na Ásia, com a China em plena ebulição. Durante as décadas seguintes, até o final do terceiro quarto do século XX, os comunistas estiveram na linha de frente dos combates revolucionários em escala mundial.-Announced in 1848 by Marx and Engels, the specter of communism incarnated in 1871 in Paris Commune. In the following decades, the prospect of conquest of power by the working class went to Germany. Since 1907, the II International had mobilized against the war. When it broke out in 1914, most of the social democratic leaders of warring countries adhered to the bellicose patriotism. Lenin was part of the minority who condemned the carnage, explaining it by the imperialist transformation of capitalist mode of production. In February 1917 the Russian people overthrew the Tsar, but didn’t obtain nor peace nor land. In October 1917, the Soviets won power. Between 1918 and 1924, successive proletarian uprisings have shaken Europe devastated and decimated by war. The Communist International was founded in 1919 to coordinate, from the Soviet Russia, the workers' and anti-colonial struggles. They deepened in Asia, with China in full boil. During the following decades, until the end of the third quarter of the 20th century, the Communists were on the front line of the fighting revolutionaries on a global scale.

Published: April 2018

Objective: It is intended in this
case report to explain the multidisciplinary treatment of 2 non-syndromic cleft
lip and palate patients with different approaches, the treatment phases of
prosthetic rehabilitation and the results obtained.

Case Reports:15-year-old unilateral
cleft lip and palate patient and 25-year-old
bilateral cleft lip and palate patient was admitted to our clinic with the
functional and aesthetic complaints. Orthodontic, surgical and prosthetic
treatments were applied

Results: With
multidisciplinary treatments aesthetic and functional solutions were provided. Aesthetic and
functional results were obtained for both cases with fixed restorations. The
treatments protocols had no complications. The outcomes were of high quality
and brought satisfaction to the patients.

Conclusion: Multidisciplinary
treatment should be considered in cleft lip and palate patients in order to be
able to fully ensure speech and hearing, continuation of occlusion and
maxillofacial growth in the normal course and the improvement of physical
appearance and psychological state. However, different treatment plans should

« Too many sorry business ». Mort et rites funéraires dans le désert occidental australien
Authors: Poirier Sylvie
Published: April 2018

Depuis plusieurs décennies déjà, le taux de mortalité dans les communautés aborigènes dites isolées du centre et du nord de l’Australie est assez élevé. Les causes sont diverses : mauvais état de santé, alcoolisme, accidents de voiture et violence. Tant et si bien que les Aborigènes sont constamment engagés dans ce qu’ils appellent en anglais le sorry business, soit les rites de lamentation et de deuil. En 2013, un séjour dans la communauté aborigène de Balgo (désert occidental australien), où je mène des recherches depuis 1980, m’a à nouveau confirmé cette réalité. Alors que la messe funéraire est prise en charge par l’Église catholique, les sorry business débutent dès l’annonce de la mort et se déroulent souvent sur plusieurs semaines. Dans cet article, j’explique, d’une part, la conception aborigène de la mort et décris les rites mortuaires contemporains. J’interroge, d’autre part, le comment et le pourquoi de ce haut taux de mortalité au sein de l’État-Nation australien lequel, tout en misant sur la « normalisation » des Aborigènes, continue à nier leur différence.
Lorsque des aînés évoquent la beauté de l’au-delà… ou ce que disent les expériences de mort imminente chez les Inuit du Nunavut
Authors: Laugrand Frédéric
Published: April 2018

À partir de témoignages recueillis auprès d’Inuit dans les années 1920 par Knud Rasmussen et presqu’un siècle plus tard par l’auteur à l’occasion de plusieurs ateliers de transmission des savoirs organisés au Nunavut, l’article montre que les aînés inuit ne craignent pas la mort. Au contraire, celle-ci dispose d’un réel pouvoir d’attraction dont les plus jeunes doivent se méfier. Pour comprendre cette ouverture face à la mort, nous rappelons d’abord les composantes qui fondent la notion de personne. Nous décrivons ensuite les lieuxpost mortemet leurs transformations avec la christianisation pour, finalement, examiner des expériences de mort imminente. La vie après la mort se mesure à deux niveaux : tandis que l’âme-tarniqrejoint le monde des défunts,atiq, l’âme-nom, est transmis et recyclé lors de la naissance d’un enfant. Les défunts continuent ainsi à vivre à la fois au travers des vivants et au sein d’autres mondes. Quant aux vivants, lorsque ces derniers ne supportent plus la vie d’ici-bas, ils optent aisément pour d’autres lieux.
« Repose en paix » : pour le respect des droits des Anicinabek dans leurs rituels funéraires1
Authors: Bousquet Marie-Pierre
Published: April 2018

Cet article se penche sur les rites funéraires des Anicinabek (Algonquins) du Québec, en retraçant leur histoire jusqu’aux pratiques contemporaines. Il met l’accent sur les changements ayant contraint les Anicinabek à composer avec des règlements exogènes. De nos jours, si de nombreuses traditions persistent, la nécessité de se conformer à certaines normes fait parfois violence à leurs us et croyances. Nous relevons donc les questions qu’ils se posent face aux problèmes qu’ils rencontrent, ainsi que les adaptations qu’ils ont élaborées. Pour terminer, nous recommandons que les Amérindiens aient davantage accès aux informations concernant leurs droits ancestraux et que les intervenants des domaines entourant la mort soient sensibilisés pour un meilleur respect des personnes amérindiennes.
Réflexions sur la comprovisation de Sandeep Bhagwati : théorie et pratique
Authors: Kim Jin-Ah ,   Le Trait juste
Published: April 2018

La « comprovisation » est un terme utilisé par Sandeep Bhagwati depuis 2004, créé par la combinaison des mots « composition » et « improvisation » et servant à clarifier la coexistence systématique entre ces deux pratiques. Cet article démontre de quelle façon ce concept de Bhagwati peut être utilisé comme un concept artistique, une façon collective de faire de la musique, une façon de travailler et un modèle d’entraînement. La comprovisation propose une nouvelle formulation des tâches et des rôles des participants dans l’idée d’une pièce collaborative, une formulation consistente dans le processus de répétition d’une oeuvre mise en scène. Avec cette idée, on s’approche considérablement de l’idée de base de « faire de la musique ensemble » (Alfred Schütz, Christopher Small). Ce qui est nouveau ici est l’orientation transculturelle ou interculturelle. La comprovisation invite à expérimenter avec les frontières des musiques et des cultures actuelles, avec leur matérialité, leur sociabilité, leur performabilité et leur potentiel créatif.

Les ensembles Sound of Montréal et Extrakte, respectivement basés à Montréal et à Berlin, rassemblent des musiciens et musiciennes dont les traditions musicales s’inscrivent dans la diversité, à l’image des communautés culturelles présentes dans les deux métropoles. Dans le cadre de ce projet conjoint de recherche-création initié par Sandeep Bhagwati, des entretiens ont été réalisés par Deniza Popova et Julie Delisle afin de dresser un portrait des musiciens ainsi que des dynamiques et des interactions personnelles et musicales à l’oeuvre dans ce contexte de création musicale particulier.
LA RÉÉCRITURE POUR DÉVELOPPER UNE POSTURE D’AUTEUR CHEZ LES ÉLÈVES
Authors: Boily Vanessa , Beaudry Marie-Christine
Published: April 2018

Nous présentons les résultats d’une recherche exploratoire à visée descriptive dans laquelle un dispositif didactique visant à amener les élèves à adopter une posture d’auteur à l’aide de la réécriture, en contexte d’écriture littéraire, fut testé auprès de raccrocheurs. Si l’analyse de contenu des entrevues menées auprès des sept participants relève la présence d’un projet d’auteur, signe que l’élève adopte une posture d’auteur, elle permet de nuancer cette présence. Certains participants ont un projet d’auteur assumé et conscient, d’autres ont un projet sans le développer, d’autres encore ont ce que nous nommons un « balbutiement de projet d’auteur ». Enfin, l’entrevue constitue un outil qui gagne à faire partie intégrante de la réécriture pour cerner le projet d’auteur des élèves.
Teachers’ Support and Pupils’ Writing Strategies in a Networked Elementary-School Learning Environment Integrating a Blog
Authors: Thériault Pascale , Allaire Stéphane , Gagnon Vincent
Published: April 2018

Although the affective dimension of writing is important and well documented, we know less about how teachers and students are making use of the blog in classrooms to advance specifically cognitive goals connected to writing. It is with this in mind that a case study was carried out to closely document the effect of classroom blogs on the development of writing in 6thgrade pupils. The study intended to a) describe the kind of support about writing provided by teachers and b) describe how writing strategies and processes were used by the pupils while they were using the blog. Two teachers and the students in their classrooms participated in our study. Data were collected from classroom observations and interviews. We used Hayes and Flower’s writing processes, elaborated in 27 writing strategies, to analyze the classroom data. The results reveal that teachers focused the most on planning and revising processes.
L’apprentissage de la pensée historique : attributions enseignantes en contexte de pratique
Authors: Moreau Daniel
Published: April 2018

Cette recherche exploratoire vise à décrire la compréhension enseignante de l’apprentissage de la pensée historique. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé le processus d’attribution réalisé par sept enseignants lors des phases préactives et postactives de trois situations d’enseignement-apprentissage. Les données, recueillies par entrevues semi-dirigées ont été analysées par statistique textuelle. Elles ont révélé la présence de trois fondements théoriques. Le plus structurant est celui de nature socioconstructiviste, suivi par les théories cognitivo-rationaliste et de sens commun. Cependant, ces attributions ne sont généralement pas très stables et donnent lieu à des modulations individuelles spécifiques.
Shipowner’s Impact on Planned Maintenance System Database Quality Grades Resemblance Equalization
Authors: Stazić Ladislav , Komar Ivan , Mihanović Luka , Mišura Antonija
Published: April 2018

This paper analyzes the shipowner’s role in the development process of ship’s computerized planned maintenance system database, paying specific attention to his/her impact on database quality grades resemblance equalization. The paper describes the database development process from the realization that the database is needed to the installation on board vessel, and all shipowner’s and developer’s actions in the process. The computerized databases of five shipping companies were tested using questionnaire developed for this purpose. The evaluation results are shown in several tables to facilitate overview and comparison of data. The paper provides the data of office user’s workload with regard to the administration and correction of data besides database quality grades: that data serves to portrait the relation between data quality in the databases and importance given to the process of development and maintenance of the databases. The analysis of the results yields numerical values as indicators of shipowner's input on the resemblance of grades of both scenarios and on the database quality grades resemblance equalization. The conclusion shows how the shipowner affects the ship's computerized planned maintenance system database and what actions should be performed to obtain the final product (database, i.e. data in the database) as good as possible and, thus, maintenance of the ship and the whole system. The expected results of the paper are:- To analyze in detail the database ordering and development process,- To pinpoint controlling areas for the database quality,- To analyze the shipowner’s impact on the database quality grades resemblance equalization.
