Postface : Le chef océanien et la terre
Authors: Tcherkézoff Serge
Published: January 2020

L’ensemble thématique de ce volume paraît à point nommé. Il souligne à la fois la densité des transformations en cours, qui affecte la position de « chef » dans cette région qu’on appelle Océanie ou Pacifique, et la nécessité de revoir la manière dont l’anthropologie a traité et traite encore cette position sociale. Dans ce qui suit, je m’appuie à la fois sur les articles de ce volume, sur mes propres données concernant un autre archipel voisin, Samoa, et quelques autres publications, récentes ou sous presse.
Glissement du domaine autochtone (Fort George 1840)
Authors: Désy Pierrette
Published: January 2020

L’habitat humain en forêt boréale partage des caractéristiques communes avec l’environnement et un rapport intimiste entre humains et non-humains ; toutefois il n’en va pas strictement ainsi pour l’espace habité, dont dépendent des règles inscrites dans un cadre social défini. Lorsque la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson tente d’exiler des chasseurs cris vers l’Ungava afin d’y piéger en décrivant à tort la région comme un pays de Cocagne, cela revient à leur demander d’exploiter des régions qui sont inhabituelles. Une requête qui renvoie à une tentative de déstabilisation puisque, dans la perspective symbolique, chaque territoire est le centre du monde car on ne fait « sien » un territoire qu’en le créant de nouveau, c’est-à-dire en le consacrant. Manifestement, le projet de la Compagnie comportait un vice rédhibitoire. L’affaire fit long feu car, dans la réalité, elle ébranlait les fondements mêmes d’appartenance territoriale des familles cries. Bien que la tentative de déterritorialisation reste un épiphénomène, elle montre que les Cris portent sur leur environnement un regard scientifique que les ambitions commerciales ne peuvent ébranler.

Nowadays many companies and institutions are interested in learning what do people think and want. Many studies are conducted to answer these questions. That’s why, emotions of people are significant in terms of instructional design. However, processing and analysis of many people's ideas and emotions is a challenging task. That is where the 'sentiment analysis' through machine learning techniques steps in. Recently a fast digitalization process is witnessed. Anadolu university, that serves 1 million distant students, is trying to find its place in this digital era. A learning management system (LMS) that distant students of the Open Education Faculty (Açıköğretim Fakültesi) is developed at the Anadolu University.  Interaction with students is the clear advantage of LMS's when compared to the hard copy materials. Book, audio book (mp3), video and interactive tests are examples of these materials. 6059 feedbacks for those online materials was scaled using the triple Likert method and using machine learning techniques sentiment analysis was performed in this study. 0.775 correctness ratio was achieved via the Logistic regression algorithm. The research concludes that machine learning techniques can be used to better understand learners and how they feel.

Published: January 2020

Several components of learning including learners, teachers, schools, learning methodologies, learning content and evaluation criteria are affected by changing technologies. Like other technology-based learning methods, mobile learning is also a product of a period in which new technologies and education are intertwined. As new learning and technologies become more personalized, learner-centered, connected, portable and ubiquitous, skills such as cooperation, communication, critical thinking and creativity start to stand out. Mobile learning has a potential to address these skills and better cater for today’s digital native learners thanks to the aforementioned affordances. This potential of mobile learning is the starting point for this study. The aim of this study is to see the trends of mobile learning over the years and to discuss its potentials and challenges. In line with this purpose, the graduate theses published in Turkish Higher Education Council Thesis Database between 2010 and 2019 were reviewed by content analysis method. The results of the study revealed that mobile learning in graduate studies offer the potentials to positively effect on academic achievement, facilitate positive attitude towards mobile learning, increase motivation and develop positive attitude towards the course. In addition, the results also demonstrated that mobile learning is time and place independent, easy, fun and helpful for vocabulary learning and increasing interaction. However, there were also challenges reported associated with mobile learning such as technical and infrastructural problems and lack of hardware and software used in mobile leaning tools.

Pakistani Identity and Kamila Shamsies Novels: An Analysis in Stylistics (Thematic Parallelism)
Authors: Ullah Irfan , Iqbal Liaqat , Ahmad Ayaz
Published: January 2020

This paper explored thematic parallelism in Kamila five of Shamsies novels i.e. Salt and Saffron, Cartography, Broken Verses, Burnt Shadows, and Home Fire. The paper identify here conflicts, depressions, identity fluctuations and a relentless machination of transformations by the powerful and resisting quarters of the region. The repetitive rule of military in Pakistan, the negative fallouts of engagement in Afghanistans resistance against the Soviets, the alienation of Muhajirs, the national and international catastrophe of 9/11 emerge as the strings that reflect the dilemma of the nomadism of modern times. The tyranny of destructive forces is amply reflected in the parallel desolation of places, characters and cultures. Karachi in its violence is parallel to Tokyo and New York. These parallels sublimate each other in conveying the poignancy of uprootedness and loss of identity. The lexical and syntactic parallels identifiable through corpus tools helped in identifying such parallels.

Motiv posta i molitve u hrvatskoglagoljskim tekstovima 15. i 16. stoljeća
Authors: Dürrigl Marija-Ana
Published: January 2020

Motiv posta i molitve često se zatječe u djelima raznih sadržajnih,
oblikovnih i vrsnih pripadnosti tijekom mnogih stoljeća, pa je moguće govoriti
o motivu dugoga trajanja. U trima se glagoljskim kodeksima iz 15. i 16.
stoljeća (u tzv. Oxfordskom, Berčićevu i Grškovićevu zborniku) nabrajaju osobe
iz Biblije i svetci koji su postili i tako postigli spas i milost. U tim je
spomenicima popis likova u velikoj mjeri podudaran. Po tonu i stilu zaključuje
se kako su tekstovi bili namijenjeni širem krugu primatelja, a ne (samo) užoj
redovničkoj ili duhovničkoj zajednici. Tekstovi su analizirani s
književnoteorijskoga polazišta, s naglaskom na njihovoj strukturu, a
identificirane su dvije važne karakteristike hrvatskoglagoljske proze. To su polifunkcionalnost, jer djela često ujedinjuju praktične (npr.
pastoralne, moralne i poučne) funkcije s estetskom, te otvorenost forme, jer se teme, motivi i slike pojavljuju u
uvijek novim kombinacijama i kontekstima (specifična intertekstualnost). U
analiziranim se tekstovima prepoznaju figure i tropi tipični za hrvatsku
srednjovjekovnu prozu (npr. antiteza, paregmenon, nabrajanja, dijade, trijade,
asonancije, sintaktički i leksički paralelizam).

U ovom radu želimo prikazati nove trendove i mogućnosti u sagledavanju uloge nastavnika kao odgojitelja primjerenoga našemu dobu. Kada kažemo odgojitelj mislimo na profesionalca, tj. stručnjaka koji je na svim razinama odgojnoobrazovnoga sustava zadužen za senzibiliziranje i primjenu relevantnih odgojnih teorija i praksi. Nastavnici tijekom cijeloga svojega radnoga vijeka trebaju ići ukorak s napretkom stručnoga područja koje poučavaju, kao i sa spoznajama vezanima uz odgoj i obrazovanje, ponajviše iz područja pedagogije, psihologije, didaktike i filozofije odgoja. Zato nastavnika, koji je ujedno i odgojitelj, stavljamo u središte naših razmišljanja i istraživanja. Imperativ odgojiteljskoga posla jest stalan profesionalni razvoj. Zato nudimo profil koji obuhvaća zahtjeve za nastavnikom odgojiteljem 21. stoljeća, što znači da prati razvoj ključnih kompetencija važnih za odgojni rad u suvremenoj školi, a temelji se na usvajanju novih znanja, vještina i sposobnosti te usavršavanju ranije stečenih kompetencija. Jer uz nastavnika koji je dobar odgojitelj i škole će moći uspješnije ispunjavati svoje odgojne zadaće.

Pad savezničkog zrakoplova Bristol Beaufightera (NT997) kod Senja u listopadu 1944. godine
Authors: Domines Peter Pio
Published: January 2020

Ključni vojnostrateški položaj i iznimno prometno, gospodarsko i vojno značenje senjske luke glavni su razlozi zbog kojih je Senj tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata pretrpio strahovita zračna bombardiranja njemačkih, a potom i savezničkih zračnih snaga koja su rezultirala ljudskim gubicima i znatnom materijalnom štetom. Od početka 1944. godine, kada savezničko zrakoplovstvo ostvaruje premoć u zraku, pa sve do kraja rata, senjska luka i lučki objekti bili su česta meta savezničkih taktičkih zračnih bombardiranja, ali i poprište ciljanih napada lovaca i lovaca bombardera usmjerenih na manje, specifične i posebno planirane ciljeve. U arhivskim dokumentima zabilježen je veći broj zračnih napada na Senj, a u jednoj od misija savezničkih zračnih snaga 10. listopada 1944. godine djelovanjem protuzračne obrane s njemačkog broda Arpione u senjskoj luci oboren je lovac-bombarder Bristol Beaufighter NT997 iz sastava 19. eskadrile Južnoafričkog ratnog zrakoplovstva (SAAF) koji se srušio u more nedaleko luke. Rasvjetljivanje okolnosti pada i sudbina članova posade analizom ostataka zrakoplova i prikupljenih arhivskih dokumenata glavni su ciljevi ovog rada, koji nastaje u svjetlu 75. obljetnice toga događaja.
Gacki čakavski govori s područja Otočca – zaštićeno nematerijalno kulturno dobro Republike Hrvatske
Authors: Kranjčević Milan
Published: January 2020

Gacki čakavski govori na području Gacke starinački su govori te pripadaju čakavskomu narječju. Klasifikacijom spadaju u ikavsko-ekavski dijalekt, a potom se dijele na dvije grupe poddijalekata - rubni i kontinentalni (Kuterevo), a zatim na mjesne govore pojedinih naselja. Gacka čakavština je, povijesno gledano, ostatak nekadašnje prevladavajuće čakavštine na prostoru današnje Gacke, Like i Krbave, ali i mnogo šire. Zbog osmanlijskih prodora u srednjemu vijeku to jezično područje je na crti Vrbas – Neretva potiskivano prema zapadu te je došlo do naseljavanja novoga žiteljstva koje je pripadalo štokavskomu narječju. U suvremenosti je gacka čakavština očuvana u dva areala: na području Otočca i na području Brinja. Ona se oslanja na senjsku, odnosno modruško-ogulinsku čakavštinu i dalje, sve do južnih krajeva Karlovca, odnosno Ozlja. Gacka čakavština je, kao i svi neštokavski govori, ali i mnogo štokavskih, bila potiskivana u prostoru javne komunikacije. Trebalo je podosta napora da se izvorni govornici osmjele i ohrabre njome čim više koristiti. Katedra Čakavskog sabora pokrajine Gacke je i osnovana s ciljem promidžbe i zaštite ove čakavštine. Sve je to nakon dvadesetogodišnjeg djelovanja Katedre rezultiralo 2018. zaštitom Gacke čakavštine s područja Otočca kao nematerijalne kulturne baštine Republike Hrvatske.
Značaj Nacionalnog parka Sjeverni Velebit u zaštiti prirode s obzirom na gljive
Authors: Matočec Neven , Kušan Ivana , Mrvoš Dušan
Published: January 2020

Područje Nacionalnog parka Sjeverni Velebit odlikuje visoka raznolikost gljiva. Do danas je u Parku zabilježeno oko 750 vrsta gljiva, od kojih je 20 strogo zaštićeno. Novija istraživanja rezultirala su opisivanjem jednog roda te čak pet novih vrsta gljiva za znanost. U ovome radu posebno se obrađuju gljivlje vrste visokih bioindikatorskih vrijednosti za kvalitetu sustava zaštite prirode, predstavljene u tri skupine: (1) vrste biotrofno vezane za endemske vrste – endemobionti/endemofili, (2) ekološki stenovalentne vrste vezane na izmete životinja te (3) ekološki stenovalentne vrste vezane za stare šume i prašume. Sve su tri grupe pod snažnim utjecajem lokalno-specifičnih klimatskih karakteristika. Prema analiziranim podacima može se reći da je NP Sjeverni Velebit vrlo uspješno dizajniran s obzirom na zaštitu gljiva. Zbog svoje raznolikosti i specifičnosti, NP Sjeverni Velebit može se označiti kao Područje važno za gljive - Important Fungus Area (IFA).
Transformation of Prehistoric to Historic Landscape
Authors: Glavaš Vedrana , Glavičić Miroslav
Published: January 2020

This paper presents a part of the results of years of archaeological research, whose main goal is the study of complex process of Romanisation of peregrine civitates in the area of Velebit Mt. during the first century BC and the first century AD. Civitas Lopsica has been selected as an example of Romanisation, whose center was located at the Gradina hillfort, near present day village of Sveti Juraj, located at the foot of Velebit Mountain near Senj. Lopsica is mentioned in ancient historical sources but it is particularly important that it was mentioned in the list of important Liburnian settlements by Plinius the Elder who referred to it as oppidum. During the first century AD, Lopsica achieved municipal status, which was confirmed by epigraphic evidence. Onomastic analysis shows that the inscriptions mentioned members of the autochthonous Romanised aristocracy, who maintained their acquired positions of authority and were a privileged class in the administrative and economic structure of the municipium. Civitas and the municipium of Lopsica encompassed the coastal region as well as the area that stretched deep into the interior of Velebit Mountain. Combined with the data from earlier studies, recent reviews of terrain and aerial photos have enabled a better overview of the landscape and thus more precise determination of the community boundaries, as well as the way of life in the mountain area that, considering its high karst morphology, seems highly unsuitable for living. The mountain provided great conditions for cattle breeding and the exploitation of forest resources, from which locals could have had significant benefits. The favorable strategic and transportation position and a busy harbor encouraged the development of trade which took place over the mountain passes with Iapodes inland. Changes that occurred in the landscape during the Iron Age and early antiquity can still be seen today.

The main cost of production was a direct and indirect amount of expenses and burdens, to produce goods or services under the right conditions and conditions for which they could be used or sold. This research was done on the CV Rajawali Tunggal Perkasa of a lumber company. The purpose of this study is to know how much profit is gained a measure of both income and sacrifice made. The kind of data used is qualitative data and the source data is the primary data. Results from studies indicate that the calculation of the principal production value to a CV Rajawali Tunggal Perkasa with a tally on the cost of production using the method full error indicates the difference of results. Based on the research, the main cost of production is based on the full yield method better at analyzing the cost of production, it is due to the calculation of principal prices of production by the full income method, not including the cost of administration and the cost of the car's rent into overhead, since those costs are a component of the company's profit assessment report.

Background: In Europe, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the dominant causes of death. Considering the fact that defibrillation within 3-5 minutes of collapse can cause survival rates as high as 50-70%, programs for public access defibrillation should be actively implemented. So far, the international research is focused on optimised methods for Automated External Defibrillator (AED) placements in cities and densely populated areas but there is not any concrete approach in connection with geographic information systems to covering the remote rural areas which have different dynamics, demographics and of course accessibility to medical care. This gap is what this paper will try to fill. The work of the current study unfolds in the Region of Western Macedonia (RWM) in Greece for a pilot AED placement program for the Governance of RWM. The initial number of the defibrillators (120) that are needed to be distributed is very small and by far it cannot cover the needs for every major town or rural area. This paper focuses only on the rural dimension for the allocation. Methods: All existing Regional Medical facilities, Health centers and Hospitals were identified and mapped. Subsequently, all types of road network were mapped and classified, which differ in conditions and maintenance, in order to do a network analysis. In addition, the type of land uses, demographics, population densities and seasonal dynamics were also taken into consideration in the mapping process in order to do a priority ranking for the allocation of the AEDs. Results: Based on the methodology the optimised sites and allocated AEDs covered the major rural areas that are most in need for immediate relief in the event of a cardiac episode. The results show a promising future for the foundation and expansion of optimised AED placements in rural areas. Conclusions: The progress of this pilot project must be monitored and there are many problems and obstacles that need to be tackled in order to provide a robust allocation of future defibrillators. Further research is needed to deepen our understanding on optimization approaches to enhance the functionality of the medical services as well as create a stable network of engaged and informed citizens ready to act.

Oil is most widely distributed source of energy in the world and large-scaled environmental pollutant. Oil, oil products, and oil containing industrial waste pollution is ranked second place after radioactive pollution on account of their harmful action to ecosystems. Contamination of soil by organic chemicals (mostly hydrocarbons) is prevalent in oil producing and industrialized countries of the world. Biodegradation, a strategy that uses biological means (i.e microbes) to degrade, stabilize and remove soil contaminants is an alternative green technology remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil. This study was carried out to isolate and screen Bacteria capable of degrading used engine oil from oil contaminated site. Soil samples were collected from oil contaminated site. Bacterial species were isolated from the collected soil samples by serial dilution and agar methods. Different bacterial species were isolated but only four were oil degrading isolates. The identity of the various genera of bacterial contaminants were determined by a combination of cultural, morphological as well as preliminary biochemical characteristics of the isolates. The four oil degrading bacteria (AJ1, AJ2, AJ3 and AJ4) were preliminarily identified as Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtillis and Micrococcus spp respectively. The degradation ability of the bacterial isolates was screened and maximum degradation was recorded by AJ 5 (Mixed culture) with 66.9 %, followed by Bacillus cereus (50.3 %), Bacillus subtilis (44 %), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (37.9 %) and the least was seen in Micrococcus spp (35.3 %). These findings revealed that some bacteria species are capable of utilizing the oil and used it as sole source of carbon and energy and the mixed consortia of the bacteria have rapid degradation ability. Biological degradation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil offers a better and more environmentally friendly technique that if properly explored can bring our environment into a better place for both plant and animal.

A Review on Brain Tumor Classification Methodologies
Authors: Panda Bichitra , Panda Chandra Sekhar
Published: January 2020

Brain tumor is one of the leading disease in the world. So automated identification and classification of tumors are important for diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)is widely used modality for imaging brain. Brain tumor classification refers to classify the brain MR images as normal or abnormal, benign or malignant, low grade or high grade or types. This paper reviews various techniques used for the classification of brain tumors from MR images. Brain tumor classification can be divided into three phases as preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. As segmentation is not mandatory for classification, hence resides in the first phase. The feature extraction phase also contains feature reduction. DWT is efficient for both preprocessing and feature extraction. Texture analysis based on GLCM gives better features for classification where PCA reduces the feature vector maintaining the accuracy of classification of brain MRI. Shape features are important where segmentation has already been performed. The use of SVM along with appropriate kernel techniques can help in classifying the brain tumors from MRI. High accuracy has been achieved to classify brain MRI as normal or abnormal, benign or malignant and low grade or high grade. But classifying the tumors into more particular types is more challenging.

Introducción. Staphylococcus aureus, es una bacteria que habita en las fosas nasales y es causante de infecciones importantes. La transmisión se favorece en la población estudiantil ya que comparten espacios reducidos y medidas de higiene deficientes. Objetivos. Determinar portadores asintomáticos de Staphylococcus aureus y su perfil de resistencia antimicrobiana en escolares de instituciones educativas de un municipio del estado Aragua, Venezuela. Materiales y métodos: Se recolectaron 95 muestras de exudado faríngeo y nasal de escolares para realizar coloración de Gram y pruebas bioquímicas para la identificación de S. aureus, posteriormente se realizaron pruebas de susceptibilidad antimicrobiana. Resultados: Se reportó S. aureus en 50,57% y 51,56% de las muestras de exudado nasal y exudado faríngeo. S. aureus meticilino resistente (SARM) estuvo presente en 11,36% y 14,63% de exudado nasal y faríngeo, y el D-test fue positivo en 30%. Las cepas mostraron resistencia a la penicilina y sensibilidad a vancomicina y ciprofloxazina. Dos cepas de SARM presentaron el mismo patrón a los antimicrobianos. Los factores que resultaron asociados al estado de portador asintomático fueron la asistencia a escuelas privadas, ausencia de inflamación de garganta, no consumo de vitaminas, grado de estudio, uso de chupón y/o biberón y sin fumadores en el hogar. Conclusiones: La presencia de SARM en escolares es importante ya que inicialmente se consideraba un microorganismo de origen nosocomial, quedando en evidencia que hay distribución comunitaria del mismo, en niños sin sintomatología que pueden diseminarlo. El seguimiento y control de estos individuos resulta primordial en la salud pública.

Introducción: La prediabetes (PD) es caracterizada por la disminución en la sensibilidad a la insulina o resistencia insulínica (RI) e hiperinsulinemia; sin embargo, a diferencia de la diabetes tipo 2 (DT2), si se detecta de manera oportuna, la PD puede ser revertida. Por lo tanto, la detección oportuna de RI, como característica de PD, representa una ventana de oportunidad para evitar la progresión de hasta el 10% de los casos. Objetivo. Detectar de manera oportuna casos de RI en jóvenes e identificar si esta se asocia a variables bioquímicas y antropométricas. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal de 131 adolescentes, distribuidos según su nivel glucosa en: grupo normo-glucémico (NG; n=67) y grupo prediabético (PD; n= 64), Se determinaron niveles de insulina, glucosa, colesterol total y triglicéridos. La RI fue identificada mediante el índice HOMA. El sobrepeso u obesidad fueron establecidos por el índice de masa corporal (IMC) e índice cintura-talla (IC/T), además del porcentaje de masa grasa. Resultados. Los jóvenes presentaron RI, además de una tendencia al incremento de los niveles de insulina e IMC, el colesterol total y los triglicéridos permanecen en el rango normal. Se observó correlación del IMC, IC/T y triglicéridos con el índice HOMA en el grupo PD. Conclusiones: Los sujetos de no más de 19 años presentan ya, RI aun cuando no se observan alteraciones de lípidos en sangre ni en el peso corporal.
