Published: March 2020

Frost is one the most significant hazards affecting various aspects of human lives including infrastructure, agriculture, economy and biodiversity. Water bodies are one of the key factors controlling temperature fluctuations and frost. This study introduces a contemporary method for identifying and spatially analyzing frost risk and also explores its spatial correlation with water bodies. The proposed technique is based on coupling freely distributed geospatial data with a time series of land surface temperature (LST) data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensor. A region located in NW Greece, which annually suffers from very low temperatures and frost conditions and hosts important infrastructure and other human activities, was selected as a case study. In total, 5944 images were processed covering a 14-year long period. A frost frequency map of the study area was compiled along with two geospatial indices associated to distance from rivers/lakes (Hydro Distance Index—HDI) and from the seashore (Sea Distance Index—SDI). Their combined statistical and spatial correlation analysis indicated a protective buffer zone from frost at distances up to 20 km from sea and up to 5 km from lakes and rivers respectively, suggesting that the protective buffer zone depends on the water volume. Statistically, frost frequency was found to be positively correlated with both SDI (rs = 0.527) and HDI (rs = 0.145). Also, the effect of topography was examined in our analysis. Results showed that altitude and slope were moderately correlated to frost frequency; yet, the significance of the correlation was reported to be lower to SDI. Furthermore, the spatial autocorrelation analysis revealed a correspondence in the clustering of frost frequency maps with the HDI and SDI. Our findings demonstrate that water bodies are a major controlling factor for frost occurrence, by lowering frost frequency in water surrounding areas. Furthermore, it highlights the promising potential of our proposed methodology in quantifying frost effects, which can form a potentially useful tool assisting effective planning of protection measures and frost hazard mitigation in general.

The Sakarya River basin is one of the largest basins in Turkey, and encompasses the Kocaeli, Düzce, Sakarya, Bursa, Bilecik, Bolu, Kütahya, Eskişehir, Ankara, Afyon, and Konya provinces. In this study, the water quality status of the basin was investigated using 18 diatom indices, calculated in Omnidia software. For this purpose, a total of 46 stations were surveyed in the rivers and streams of the basin in May 2018. As a result, 41 of 195 diatom taxa were found to be the most frequent (>10% share in assemblage). According to Detrented Correspondence Analysis (DCA), three subgroups were described as the spring section, Ankara and Polatlı section, and lowland section. The river basin quality was evaluated as moderate or lower quality status, while only a few sites had good status. The diatom index scores showed that the Descy’s Index (DES), Pampean Diatom Index (IDP), Artois-Picardie Diatom Index (IDAP), and Specific Pollution Sensitivity Index (IPS) appear best suited to water quality assessment in this area, showing the largest number of significantly important correlation with environmental variables.
On the Uncertainty and Changeability of the Estimates of Seasonal Maximum Flows
Authors: Markiewicz Iwona , Bogdanowicz Ewa , Kochanek Krzysztof
Published: March 2020

A classical approach to flood frequency modeling is based on the choice of the probability distribution to best describe the analyzed series of annual or seasonal maximum flows. In the paper, we discuss the two main problems, the uncertainty and instability of the upper quantile estimates, which serve as the design values. Ways to mitigate the above-mentioned problems are proposed and illustrated by seasonal maximum flows at the Proszówki gauging station on the Raba River. The inverse Gaussian and generalized exponential distributions, which are not commonly used for flood frequency modeling, were found to be suitable for Polish data of seasonal peak flows. At the same time, the heavy tailed distributions, which are currently recommended for extreme hydrological phenomena modeling, were found to be inappropriate. Applying the classical approach of selecting the best fitted model to the peak flows data, significant shifts in the upper quantile estimates were often observed when a new observation was added to the data series. The method of aggregation, proposed by the authors, mitigates this problem. Elimination of distributions that are poorly fitted to the data series increases the stability of the upper quantile estimates over time.
Moving a Taxi Sector to Become Electric: Characterizing Taxi Drivers Interested in Purchasing a Full Electric Vehicle
Authors: Tamis Milan , van den Hoed Robert
Published: March 2020

Electrification of mobility exceeds personal transport to increasingly focus on particular segments such as city logistics and taxis. These commercial mobility segments have different motives to purchase a full electric vehicle and require a particular approach to incentivize and facilitate the transition towards electric mobility. A case where a municipality was successful in stimulating the transition to electric mobility is the taxi sector in the city of Amsterdam. Using results from a survey study (n = 300), this paper analyses the differences in characteristics between taxi drivers that either have or do not have interest in purchasing a full electric taxi vehicle. Results show a low intention across the sample to adopt a full electric vehicle and no statistically significant differences in demographics between the two groups. Differences were found between the level of acceptability of the covenant, the rated attractiveness of the incentives, the ratings of full electric vehicle attributes and the consultation of objective and social information sources. These results can be used by policy makers to develop new incentives that target specific topics currently influencing the interest in a full electric taxi vehicle.
The Significance of Physiological Spaces in the Body and Its Medical Implications
Authors: Zhang Kezhen
Published: March 2020

The human body is made up of physical structures and spaces. These physiological spaces play an integral role in metabolic processes. In previous scientific research, these spaces were often neglected. The study of the importance of their existence in the body can help scientifically understand some of the thorniest medical problems that we currently face. It may also help in the diagnosis and prevention of disease, especially of drug-induced origins. The proper reading of the essence of meridians through the perspective of these spaces can help to improve scientific understanding of the principles of acupuncture and moxibustion and the treatment principles of Chinese and Western medicine and ultimately promote the communication and integration of Chinese and Western medicine.

De esta manera se profundiza en el contexto histórico – político que hizo posible el surgimiento de las mismas, lo cual responde a un proceso histórico particular de nuestro país. Se remarca la excepcionalidad de esta herramienta como pionera a la existencia de legislación alguna y el compromiso y voluntad de lxs trabajadorxs del hospital de sostener e implementar la Consejería. De esta manera, este trabajo hace foco en el accionar de lxs trabajadorxs que se erigen como ejemplo para otras Consejerías no solo de la ciudad de Rosario, sino también de localidades aledañas y en la necesidad de seguir avanzando y conquistando derechos adeudados.
Interfaces Do Aborto Na Mídia: Questão Racial E Religiosidade. Um Estudo A Partir Do Feminismo Decolonial.
Authors: Torrentes Gomes Fernanda Marcela , Zucco Luciana Patrícia
Published: March 2020

El artículo presentado discute el aborto en dos vehículos de comunicación: el Portal Geledés y el periódico Folha de São Paulo. A partir del feminismo decolonial, el tema es abordado por medio de sus proximidades y contrastes que contribuyen para crear narrativas sobre la temática e identidad de las mujeres involucradas. Los marcadores de raza, clase y género han tenido centralidad analítica en la investigación que tuvo como hito temporal el período en que el diputado Marco Feliciano estuvo en la presidencia de la Comisión de los Derechos y Minorías de Brasil (desde el 7 de marzo de 2013 al 26 de febrero de 2014), siendo los datos de la investigación organizados mediante el análisis de contenido. Los resultados indican que a las noticias les falta ubicar a las mujeres que habitan los discursos relacionados al tema, no solamente por la subjetividad de esas sujetas, pero también por las múltiples dimensiones del contexto en que están inseridas.
De Lilits, Evas y Adanes: Género y Ciencias Sociales o de incomodidades, certezas y apuestas
Authors: Valobra Adriana María
Published: March 2020

En este artículo intento una reflexión sobre las derivas de los recorridos de las mujeres en el ámbito científico académico, una reflexión sobre nuestros lugares en él que, si bien no es nueva, sigue siendo necesaria. Y una vez más emprendo la escritura para ordenar ideas porque de nuevo sigue siendo necesario y porque “escribir es comprometerse desde el deseo en la escritura de cuerpos (…) pero mientras tanto vamos dejando el nuestro (…) en el camino” (Ztardust, 2013, p. 13). En ese sentido, el trabajo me obliga sistematizar una serie de incomodidades, algunas certezas y un conjunto de apuestas que sostienen mi trabajo académico y político mientras que no deja de ser una “interruqción” en el sentido que Val Flores le da a la palabra en relación con la práctica educativa de “interferir los guiones hegemónicos del género binario, del régimen político de la heterosexualidad, de la blanquedad autoinvisibilizada, de los procesos de normalización de los sujetos (…) suspender algunas lógicas prescriptivas que se instalan silenciosa y poderosamente en los formatos educativos” (flores, 2013, p. 19) y científicos, agregaría. Y aunque esta reflexión está lejos de la poética que propugna flores, se nutre en la idea de “hacer del pensamiento una provocación permanente, inmiscuirse en las turbulencias de lo que (me) está pasando, abandonarse al tránsito de la vida practicando una política del detalle” (flores, 2013, p. 21).Organizaré mi intervención en cuatro dimensiones que no son otras que las propuestas por la historiadora feminista Joan Scott (Scott, 1996) respecto de la concepción de género. En ese sentido propongo reflexionar sobre lo simbólico, lo normativo, lo institucional y lo subjetivo.

Why Technoscience Cannot Reproduce Human Desire According to Lacanian Thomism
Authors: McAleer Graham , Wojtulewicz Christopher
Published: March 2020

Being born into a family structure—being born of a mother—is key to being human. It is, for Jacques Lacan, essential to the formation of human desire. It is also part of the structure of analogy in the Thomistic thought of Erich Przywara. AI may well increase exponentially in sophistication, and even achieve human-like qualities; but it will only ever form an imaginary mirroring of genuine human persons—an imitation that is in fact morbid and dehumanising. Taking Lacan and Przywara at a point of convergence on this topic offers important insight into human exceptionalism.

Reliability and continuity of electricity supply generated by the use of fossil fuels cannot be guaranteed absolutely because of the present decline in oil and gas. Because of this, it becomes necessary to consider another form of energy generation such as biomass. In this work, the potential of electricity generation for a small household rural/isolated location using combustion technique was done. Due to the availability of sufficient biomass (agricultural waste) in rural/isolated locations, rice husk combustion technique for biopower generation was investigated in this work. The experiment was conducted at Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. A 12V permanent magnet DC motor was used as the alternator while rice husk was used as biomass fuel. The biopower was achieved by heating water to steam which was used to turn the turbine attached to the permanent DC motor and a maximum of 155Whr was generated. From the result, it can be seen that the typical load of a household in a rural/isolated location is 55W and the peak experimental power is 154.96W. This peak experimental power is sufficient to carry the household load in a rural/isolated location. The peak experimental energy value is 1549.6Whr in a 10 minutes interval which is far more than the energy demand of 260Whr in a typical household in rural/isolated location. The result shows that biomass can be used to generate power for lighting point and power outlet for small households in rural/isolated locations.

The load with a poor power factor speeds up the flow of electrons when compared to the load with high power factor in the electrical power systems. The current extracted from the system is distorted by non-linear loads. In this paper, to achieve active power factor correction Boost converter topology is utilized. The boost converter topology must meet two concurrent conditions:1) the boost converter’s input value must be set lesser than the output voltage value and 2) the voltage at any point of time must be set in such a way that it is always proportional to the current. This scheme utilizes a positive output luo converter which is connected to rectifier circuit to offset the harmonic current from the rectifier. This paper presents a new control scheme to accomplish a power factor closer to unity.

The relation between the fashion phenomenon and gender belonging, the garment as bodily protection and expression of identity and the evolution of styles, decorative motifs and fabrics are investigated through the anonymous historic collections and the famous collections of the top designers. The essays in this book underscore the continuity between past and present as a premise for the development of fashion and design products: two worlds that continually contaminate each other and derive a major communicative capacity from operating in synergy, enabling the definition of forms, languages and expressive codes that can identify an epoch.
Il matriarcato slavo
Authors: Gasparini Evel
Published: March 2020

This book on Slavic matriarchy is the result of the studies and researches that Evel Gasparini carried out over the span of his lifetime. Intrigued by the possibility of a close link between the collective ownership of the land and the ancient agricultural-matriarchal substrate of Slav culture, Gasparini launched on the titanic enterprise of analysing the archaeological and historical sources of early Slavic civilisation. Basing himself on a concept of culture elaborated in the ethnological field, he brought to light certain contradictions in the application of the Indo-European paradigm to Slavic culture and identified a series of elements illustrating the matriarchal substrate. Exploiting an uncommon knowledge of cultural anthropology and profound linguistic competencies, in this book Gasparini maps out a complex panorama ranging from the economy to the social structure and from the religious traditions to music and dance. Out of print for some time, the book is now proposed in a new, more convenient form, complete with an appendix on Finns and Slavs – which was originally intended as another chapter in the book but was then left out – a detailed preface by Gasparini's disciple Remo Faccani, and a bibliography of the scholar's oeuvre edited by Donatella Possamai.

Published: March 2020

Many studies assume that the professionalism of teachers is influenced by his personality. Personality is a psychological characteristic that contributes to learning outcomes and academic achievement. However, research that proves this assumption is limited in the domain of Christian teachers as part of teachers inIndonesia. This study aims to analyze the correlation between teachers’ personality and professionalism obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis was carried out on 16 Christian teachers participated who were attending the Postgraduate Program in "Educational Professional Development" instruction. The results of the correlation test using the SPSS Version 21 program showed that Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.042 <0.05. It concluded that there is a positive correlation between the personality and professionalism of Christian teachers. Qualitative analysis is discovered that the teachers' personality is in the criteria of good and very good, as well as their professionality. The lowest percentage of personality is on the positive self-concept indicator (62.9%) with good criteria, whereas professionality is on the self-confidence indicator (64.5%) with good criteria. The results of interviews as the self-assessment be discovered that Christian teachers with high performance are 18.75%; the adjusted teachers are 43.75%; the teachers hopeless are 43.75%, and not giving answering by 25%. It was concluded that assumptions about teachers’ personality and professionalism have a proven correlation for Christian teachers participated. Therefore, to improve professionalism as an Indonesian teachers’ competence, it has to develop the personality of Christian teachers sustainable. The personality of the Christian teachers is an entity of Christ's character and professionalism is the existence of ability, attitude, and skills based on common sense. The researcher argues that toward a superior Indonesia is marked by teachers who excel in professionalism and personality.

Authors: Chernova Veronika Yu. , Kheyfets Boris A.
Published: March 2020

The paper examines the prospects for import substitution in high-tech industries of Russia’s agro-industrial complex (AIC). It aims to identify and assess the factors behind the priority of import substitution policy. The research employs the methods of economic-statistical and correlation analysis. The results show that there are four types of government support that exert the most profound effect on import substitution in mechanical engineering and the AIC sectors based on high technologies and innovations. These are compensation for direct costs incurred in the construction and modernization of the AIC facilities; investment lending in the AIC; soft loans for the AIC enterprises; and the creation of the Center for the Analysis of Agricultural Products Export (Prod.Center). The study highlights the major challenges and avenues for import substitution in the Russian agro-industrial complex. The results obtained can be used when formulating a development strategy for high-tech agricultural sub-sectors and forming industry-specific and regional development programs.
「英語の授業は英語で」に関する高校教師の認知調査と授業実践 • High School Teachers’ Cognition of the Policy of “English Classes in English,” and Their Classroom Practice
Authors: Saito Yukie
Published: March 2020

2012年4月から実施の現行学習指導要領には高校の英語に関して、クラスを実際のコミュニケーションの場にするために、英語のクラスは英語で行われるべきであると明記されている。高校教師の「英語の授業は英語で」行う方針に対しての認知、授業実践、また教師の認知と授業実践に影響を与えている要因に関して調査をするために、2015年度に3人の高校英語教師へのインタビューとその教師が担当する授業見学を行った。Borg (2006)の言語教師の枠組みを参考に分析したインタビュー結果によると、教師のTEFLやTESOLコースへの参加経験、同僚との支援体制、また生徒の英語で行われる英語の授業への肯定的な反応などが、教師の認知と授業実践に影響を与えていることがわかった。授業見学データは教師がどれくらい英語と日本語を使っているか、またいつ英語と日本語を使っているかという視点で分析した。結果、英語と日本語使用の程度は、各教師によって異なっていることがわかった。インタビューと授業見学から、大学入試が教師の認知と授業実践に著しく影響を与えていることが浮き彫りとなった。

The MEXT Course of Study for senior high school, enacted in April 2012, states that English classes are to be conducted in English to transform classes into locations of real communication. To investigate teachers’ cognition of the policy of “English classes in English,” their classroom practice, and factors affecting their cognition and classroom practice, I interviewed and conducted classroom observations of three senior high school teachers during the 2015 academic year. Drawing on Borg’s 2006 framework of elements and processes in language teacher cognition, the analysis of interview data shows that teachers’ professional experience of taking part in TEFL or TESOL courses, support from co-teachers, and their students’ positive responses to the classes affected the teachers’ cognition and classroom practice. Classroom observation data were analyzed in terms of when and how much the teachers use English and Japanese. The findings show that the extent to which English and Japanese were used varied depending on each teacher. From both the interviews and the observations, it was found that the presence of entrance examinations affected the teachers’ cognition and classroom practices significantly.
The Effect of Communication Strategies on Learners’ Speaking Ability in Task-Based Language Teaching: A Mixed Methods Analysis
Authors: Kozawa Yoshiko
Published: March 2020

This study examines the diversity of applications of instructed prefabricated patterns of communication strategies (PPCS) by novice learners of English, the influence on speaking competence of frequent PPCS use by learners, and correlations between PPCS use and learners’ development in speaking. Their perceptions about the conversation were also surveyed for this purpose. Twenty-four non-English major college students studied English in a semester long course applying Task-Based Language Teaching using PPCS learning. The results showed a propensity toward PPCS with simpler and broader applications. They used PPCS unintentionally while practicing as the class progressed. There was, for example, a significant correlation between the evaluations of learners’ conversation by the teachers and the frequent uses of a previously learned “That’s…” rejoinder. Learners’ positive perceptions about the conversation had significant correlations with some PPCS utilizations. The number of participants and the length of the course yielded limited data and further investigations will clarify these correlations.

本論は、コミュニケーション・ストラテジーの様々な定型表現（PPCS）が英語の初心者に指導された場合、PPCSの会話への応用の多様性、学習者がPPCSを頻繁に利用した場合のスピーキング力への影響、およびPPCS使用と学習者のスピーキング力の発達の相関関係を調査する。学習者の会話に対する認識も調査した。英語専攻ではない24名の短期大学生が、PPCS学習を含むタスク中心の言語指導のコースで半年間、英語を学習した。その結果、学生はより簡単に使用できるPPCSをより広く使う傾向があり、授業でのPPCS練習を積み重ねるにつれ無意識に自然にPPCSが使えるようになった。教員による会話の評価とそれまでに学んだ “That’s …” の短い返答の頻繁な使用には有意な相関が見られ、会話についての学習者の肯定的な認識と幾種かのPPCS使用にも有意な相関があった。本研究は参加学生数が少なく調査期間も短かったため、さらに調査を進めることが今後の課題であろう。

Learners’ Perceptions of Intelligible Pronunciation and the Gaps Between Teachers’ and Learners’ Perceptions
Authors: Hamada Yo
Published: March 2020

This study investigated Japanese EFL learners’ perceptions on priorities for intelligible pronunciation. Which aspects do they think are most important for intelligible pronunciation? Are there gaps in priorities between learners and experienced teachers? A 25-item questionnaire, which focused on 17 segmental features and 8 suprasegmental features, was used. It was administered to 142 university freshmen (72 males and 70 females). The results show that learners consider major segmentals (l, ɹ, ð, θ, v), stress, and intonation to be important, but secondary segmentals (f, æ, ʌ) are considered less important. The gaps between teachers and learners were found in L1 effect at syllable levels (syllabification, cognates) and assimilation (sɪ, ʃɪ, tɪ).

本論では、分かりやすい発音のための優先順位に対する日本人英語学習者の認識調査を行った。研究課題は、学生にとって分かりやすい発音のために重要な要素は何か、また教員と認識の差はあるのか、である。17の分節に関する項目と8つの超分節に関する計25項目の質問紙を142名の大学1年生（男性72名、女性70名）に配布した。結果は、主要な分節(l, ɹ, ð, θ, v)、強弱、イントネーションが学生にとって重要項目であり、第2分節(f, æ, ʌ)はあまり重要視されていない。教員と学習者とのギャップは、カタカナ英語等の音節レベルにおける第1言語の影響や同化(sɪ, ʃɪ, tɪ)に見られた。
Bridging Research and Secondary School Classrooms: A Case of Vocabulary Learning
Authors: Ishii Tomoko
Published: March 2020

Despite the great advancement we have seen in vocabulary research, secondary school English teachers in Japan are not necessarily well informed in regard to such findings. This paper describes one workshop designed to help a private six-year secondary school in the Tokyo area. Although none of the topics covered is new to vocabulary researchers, the feedback from the teachers showed that the workshop was useful to them. Some teachers commented that they had learned about new concepts and that they could clarify the goals they should be working towards. Other teachers said that it was good for them to learn about research-based support for their choice of materials and stated that they could now teach with more confidence. This paper argues for the benefit of contextualizing research findings in each teaching setting and working together with the teachers to consider ways to improve their vocabulary instruction.

語彙習得研究は近年大きな成果を挙げてきたが、それが中学・高校の教育現場で充分には活かされていないようだ。本論では、都内の私立中高一貫校で英語科教員を対象に行った語彙指導ワークショップの概要を紹介する。ワークショップでは、語彙習得研究者には基礎的な事柄を扱ったにもかかわらず、「新しい知見が学べた」、「使用している教材に理論的根拠があることを知って自信がついた」など、前向きな反応を得た。研究成果を各学校の状況に適用して議論し、教員と研究者が共に指導の向上を目指すことは有益であると言える。

Authors: Honcharenko Nadiia
Published: March 2020

The article offers an overview of the use of such policy instruments as grant competitions for public support of cultural and artistic projects in Poland. The overview includes grant-giving programs of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of Poland, in particular, their priorities, the sources for funding cultural projects, and institutions operating the programs.
From the perspective of European integration chosen by Ukraine nowadays, the article also reviews the recent attempts to introduce similar institutions and grant-giving policy instruments in this country. In particular, recent establishment and early activities of Ukrainian Cultural Foundation has been analysed.
First, Polish public grant-giving institutions have accumulated massive experience of co-operation between the state and independent cultural sector. Second, the main source of funding for public grant-giving institutions in Poland is secured by law as a special targeted levy, while in Ukraine the amount of funds given to the Foundation is to be defined in the State Budget each year. Third, there is a remarkable support from EU funds in Poland. Ukraine, on the other hand, only recently became eligible for participation in Creative Europe program. Finally, there are several public institutions offering grants for cultural projects in Poland (Polish Book Institute, the Film Institute, the Theatre Institute, etc.) while in this country, Ukrainian Cultural Foundation is the only one that practically provides grants, not just promises to do so.
