A multi-phase biogeochemical model for mitigating earthquake-induced liquefaction via microbially induced desaturation and calcium carbonate precipitation
Authors: Hall Caitlyn A. , van Turnhout Andre , Kavazanjian Jr. Edward , van Paassen Leon A. , Rittmann Bruce
Published: July 2023

Abstract. A next-generation biogeochemical model was developed to
explore the impact of the native water source on microbially induced
desaturation and precipitation (MIDP) via denitrification. MIDP is a
non-disruptive, nature-based ground improvement technique that offers the
promise of cost-effective mitigation of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction
under and adjacent to existing structures. MIDP leverages native soil
bacteria to reduce the potential for liquefaction triggering in the short
term through biogenic gas generation (treatment completed within hours to
days) and over the longer term through calcium carbonate precipitation
(treatment completed in weeks to months). This next-generation
biogeochemical model expands earlier modeling to consider multi-phase
speciation, bacterial competition, inhibition, and precipitation. The
biogeochemical model was used to explore the impact of varying treatment
recipes on MIDP products and by-products in a natural seawater environment.
The case study presented herein demonstrates the importance of optimizing
treatment recipes to minimize unwanted by-products (e.g., H2S
production) or incomplete denitrification (e.g., nitrate and nitrite
accumulation).
The effect of the Pliocene temperature pattern on silicate weathering and Pliocene–Pleistocene cooling
Authors: Maffre Pierre , Chiang John C. H. , Swanson-Hysell Nicholas L.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The warmer early Pliocene climate featured changes to global sea surface temperature (SST) patterns, namely a reduction in the Equator–pole gradient and the east–west SST gradient in the tropical Pacific, the so-called “permanent El Niño”. Here we investigate the consequences of the SST changes to silicate weathering and thus to atmospheric CO2 on geological timescales. Different SST patterns than today imply regional modifications of the hydrological cycle that directly affect continental silicate weathering in particular over tropical “hotspots” of weathering, such as the Maritime Continent, thus leading to a “weatherability pattern effect”. We explore the impact of Pliocene-like SST changes on weathering using climate model and silicate weathering model simulations, and we deduce CO2 and temperature at carbon cycle equilibrium between solid Earth degassing and silicate weathering. In general, we find large regional increases and decreases in weathering fluxes, and the net effect depends on the extent to which they cancel. Permanent El Niño conditions lead to a small amplification of warming relative to the present day by 0.4 ∘C, suggesting that the demise of the permanent El Niño could have had a small amplifying effect on cooling from the early Pliocene into the Pleistocene. For the reduced
Equator–pole gradient, the weathering increases and decreases largely cancel, leading to no detectable difference in global temperature at carbon cycle equilibrium. A robust SST reconstruction of the Pliocene is needed for a quantitative evaluation of the weatherability pattern effect.
Deep learning subgrid-scale parametrisations for short-term forecasting of sea-ice dynamics with a Maxwell elasto-brittle rheology

Published: July 2023

Abstract. We introduce a proof of concept to parametrise the unresolved subgrid scale of sea-ice dynamics with deep learning techniques.
Instead of parametrising single processes, a single neural network is trained to correct all model variables at the same time.
This data-driven approach is applied to a regional sea-ice model that accounts exclusively for dynamical processes with a Maxwell elasto-brittle rheology.
Driven by an external wind forcing in a 40 km×200 km domain, the model generates examples of sharp transitions between unfractured and fully fractured sea ice.
To correct such examples, we propose a convolutional U-Net architecture which extracts features at multiple scales.
We test this approach in twin experiments: the neural network learns to correct forecasts from low-resolution simulations towards high-resolution simulations for a lead time of about 10 min.
At this lead time, our approach reduces the forecast errors by more than 75 %, averaged over all model variables.
As the most important predictors, we identify the dynamics of the model variables.
Furthermore, the neural network extracts localised and directional-dependent features, which point towards the shortcomings of the low-resolution simulations.
Applied to correct the forecasts every 10 min, the neural network is run together with the sea-ice model.
This improves the short-term forecasts up to an hour.
These results consequently show that neural networks can correct model errors from the subgrid scale for sea-ice dynamics.
We therefore see this study as an important first step towards hybrid modelling to forecast sea-ice dynamics on an hourly to daily timescale.
Quantifying the effect of low-frequency fatigue dynamics on offshore wind turbine foundations: a comparative study
Authors: Sadeghi Negin , D’Antuono Pietro , Noppe Nymfa , Robbelein Koen , Weijtjens Wout , Devriendt Christof
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Offshore wind turbine support structures are fatigue-driven designs subjected to a wide variety of cyclic loads from wind, waves, and turbine controls. While most wind turbine loads and metocean data are collected at short-term 10-minute intervals, some of the largest fatigue cycles have periods over one day. Therefore, these low-frequency fatigue dynamics (LFFD) are not fully considered when working with the industry-standard short-term window. To recover these LFFDs in the state-of-the-industry practices, the authors implemented a short-to-long-term factor applied to the accumulated short-term damages, while maintaining the ability to work with the 10-minute data. In the current work, we study the LFFD impact on the damage from the Fore-Aft and Side-Side bending moments and the sensors' strain measurements and their variability within and across wind farms. For an S-N curve slope of m=5, up to 65 % of damage is directly related to LFFD.
A Review on Malaria, its Control and Management
Authors: Aggarwal Rishabh , Chamoli Ashutosh , Rawat Mayank , Nautiyal Anuj
Published: July 2023

A parasitic infection of major worldwide significance is malaria. One of the most common illnesses in humans worldwide, malaria is nevertheless comparatively rare in wealthy nations where it primarily affects travellers who have just returned from endemic areas. Malaria is a major source of sickness and mortality in areas where it is endemic, as well as a major social and economic burden. The current focus of malaria control is to lower attributable morbidity and mortality. In some endemic locations, targeted chemoprophylaxis and the use of bed nets treated with pesticide have been effective. Personal safety precautions and the proper chemoprophylaxis can considerably lower the risk of infection for travellers to malaria-endemic areas. It is crucial to assess febrile travellers as away, have a high level of suspicion for malaria, make an accurate diagnosis right away, and start the proper antimalarial treatment.

Published: July 2023

Humans are exposed to a variety of different and persistent DNA-damaging agents, some of which have been identified as carcinogens. DNA damage can occur from exposure to exogenous agents, but damage from endogenous processes is more common. That is, epidemiological studies of migrant populations from low-cancer-risk areas to high-cancer-incidence countries suggest the role of environmental factors and/or lifestyle as important players in the etiology of cancer. As a result, it can be assumed that carcinogens found in the environment or our diet are to blame. Carcinogen exposure is associated with various forms of DNA damage, including single-strand breaks, double-strand breaks, chemical DNA cross-links, oxidative stress, and DNA-DNA or DNA-protein breaks. This review focuses on DNA damage caused by the following carcinogens: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic aromatic amines, mycotoxins, ultraviolet light, ionizing radiation, aristolochic acid, nitrosamines, and particulate matter. In addition, we discuss several cancers for which molecular epidemiological evidence suggests that these agents are etiological risk factors. The complex role that carcinogens play in the pathophysiology of cancer development remains unclear, but DNA damage remains central to this process.

Addressing the Problem of Surplus School Places in a Municipality; Based on a Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Authors:   Education Leadership Consultancy, Phil Budgell
Published: July 2023

Initially, this paper illustrates the 20% fall between 2001 and 2021 in the population of The Province, The Municipality and within The City. It then goes on to illustrate that, despite an 18% fall in the number of school enrolments between 2011 and 2021, no schools were closed by The Municipality. The paper then indicates the two major problems arising from this lack of intervention: a large number of surplus places and a complex organisation and structure of schools; too many small school, large twoshift comprehensive community schools and problems recruiting specialist teachers. The paper then acknowledges that The Municipality has had no option other than to develop an expensive Funding Formula: the only real solution being to address the cause; i.e., the structure and organisation of the school system.

Authors: M Praveen Kumar , S P Santhoshkumar , S Chandramohan
Published: July 2023

The integration of expert systems, mobile intelligence, and the cloud for diabetes diagnosis was the study's main objective. An expert system is a computer programme that makes use of a knowledge base and an inference engine to resolve problems considerably more quickly and effectively than they would otherwise. To lessen the limitations of mobile applications, the cloud has provided developers with a variety of services to create, manage, and deploy. Because of population expansion, ageing, addiction, urbanization, obesity, lack of exercise, and other complex diseases, there are more people with diabetes than ever before. Furthermore, these issues are made worse by a lack of specialists, inaccurate diagnoses, and inadequate medical facilities. Thus, diabetics require ongoing care such as dietary restriction, exercise, and insulin management. A hospital's knowledge was drawn from in order to create the prototype using a purposive sampling technique. Case studies are chosen for testing and assessing the prototype system in order to determine whether or not it is accurate and meets end-user criteria.

Methodology for determining the extent of soil compaction deformation zones beneath foundations
Authors: Mukhamejanova Assel
Published: July 2023

The article is dedicated to a methodology for determining the actual dimensions of the zone of long-term compressed soils under existing foundations from their previous loading. Although construction norms provide conditional criteria for this, they do not always accurately reflect the real distribution of soil deformations at the depth of the foundation. The article presents a methodology for determining the actual dimensions of the compacted soil zone under the foundations. This methodology is based on both empirical and theoretical approaches, taking into account both the strength and deformation characteristics of the soil. The application of this methodology allows obtaining more accurate results and more reliably determining the dimensions of the compacted zone, which can be useful for conducting additional research for object reconstruction or determining the permissible distance between closely located foundations. During experimental and theoretical studies, regularities in the changes of soil compaction at the depth of the foundation and its deformations over time under constant loading were identified. The developed methodology enables a more precise determination of the actual dimensions of the compacted zone, which is of great significance for ensuring the safety and reliability of building structures.
DOTOTATE: Positive is not always NET

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are increasing in incidence, and the use of 68Ga-DOTOTATE PET/CT to specifically identify NET has aided with early diagnosis, with 83%-100% sensitivity.
Case: Here, we present a case in which a suspected small bowel obstruction by CT was 68Ga-DOTOTATE PET/CT avid in both the mass and adjacent nodes, suggestive of NET. However, the mass was not consistent with NET during surgical resection and the intra-operative frozen section revealed heterotopic pancreatic tissue and necrotic fat. Surgical resection would have been extensive and morbid; given the lack of a malignant diagnosis, it was aborted.
Discussion: A comprehensive literature review demonstrated few false positive lesions identified by 68Ga-DOTOTATE; most frequently lymph nodes, pancreas, and prostate. Our case is the only reported false positive in a necrotic lesion. These cases highlight the importance of evaluating 68Ga-DOTOTATE PET/CT imaging for NET in the global context and presentation of the patient.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: Trust is an important determinant of communication and relationships in professional contexts and interpersonally. It is also essential in pedagogical communication between teachers and parents for the successful implementation of pedagogical goals, easier adaptation of students, as well as in enhancing their motivation and learning outcomes. This article discusses different perspectives through which trust can be defined and analysed, and the understanding of trust varies depending on the analytical level chosen. A theoretical review is made of several models of trust that could conceptually serve as a basis for the study of pedagogical communication between teachers and parents. The explanatory power of Bentele's (2008) ‘layered’ model is discussed in terms of trust at the micro, meso and macro levels. Mayer's (1995) and Blӧbaum's (2016) dispositional models are analysed, identifying major categories of characteristics as antecedents of trust ‘investment’ at the interpersonal level. The features of the dynamic model of trust are outlined with its potential to analyze social interactions between individuals and with a focus on the factors that influence the process of trust building and breaking down. All these models have been developed and validated in different research contexts and could support a deeper understanding and study of the phenomenon in a pedagogical setting. Keywords: models, pedagogical communication, trust, teachers, parents. Rhetoric and Communications Journal, issue 56, July 2023

This paper analyses provisions of the law, the standpoints of domestic court practice and the opinions of jurisprudence on the transfer of rights and obligations to the bankruptcy manager, as the most important consequence of opening bankruptcy proceedings against the bankruptcy debtor. It was pointed out that the representation and management function are merging in the person of the bankruptcy manager, while the members and shareholders of the bankruptcy debtor retain the ownership function with significant restriction of rights, which results in the suspension of the company’s assembly. The standpoint on the admissibility of the appeal of the majority shareholder against the decision to open bankruptcy proceedings is presented. The effects of bankruptcy on the loss of legal capacity and the transfer of representation rights to the bankruptcy manager, as well as on the limitation of the legal capacity of the bankruptcy debtor are explained. Different views on the legal position of the bankruptcy manager were pointed out. Issues related to the function of interim bankruptcy manager as a sui generis security measure after the revocation of the decision to open bankruptcy proceedings were considered. Also, theoretical and practical issues related to limiting the liability of the bankruptcy manager for damage caused to participants in the proceedings were analyzed, with different views and criticism of existing legal solutions.

There is a difference between the negotiations phase regarding the sales agreement and the same phase regarding the other kinds of agreements, and the difference is a subject of negotiations. One may lead negotiations with respect to significant (essentialia negotii), natural (naturalia negotii), as well as possible (accidentali negotii) elements of agreements. Considering the fact that sales agreement is regulated by law, the Law on Obligations prescribes the objectively significant elements of the agreement – object of the agreement (object of sale) and price. After the presentation on the general concept of negotiations and its basic characteristics, the author in the paper considers which prerequisites concerning objectively significant element must be met, as well as in what manner negotiators may achieve consent regarding these elements. Besides that, the attention will also be dedicated to the consequences that occur in those cases when the negotiators’, by their agreement, entrust the determination of significant contractual elements to only one contracting party.

Published: July 2023

Based on the theories of ecosystem and self-determination, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,372 students from four grades (7th to 10th) in three middle schools in Chengdu, Xi'an, and Hangzhou. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between parental autonomy support and adolescents' academic performance, as well as the mediating role of metacognition and the moderating effect of grade level. The results revealed the following: 1. Parental autonomy support significantly and positively predicted adolescents' academic performance; 2. Metacognition played a significant mediating role in the relationship between parental autonomy support and adolescents' academic performance; 3. Grade level moderated the first half of the mediation model, specifically the impact of parental autonomy support on adolescents' metacognition. This study constructed a theoretical model that explores the combined influence of environmental factors (parental autonomy support) and individual factors (metacognition) on academic performance. It provides a theoretical basis and empirical support for gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms by which parental autonomy support affects academic performance and offers insights for enhancing adolescents' academic achievement.

The (un)constitutionality of the COVID-19 health passport: An analysis under the medico-legal approach
Authors: Ovando Rômulo Gustavo de Moraes , Ovando Luiz Alberto
Published: July 2023

The work aims to analyze, from the perspective of Medicine and Law, the possibilities of relativizations - and even suppressions - of fundamental rights and guarantees in the face of the global health crisis imposed by the coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic, in general, has implemented numerous restrictions aimed at the gradual opening of the economy and the consequent return to normalcy. However, these limitations, however necessary they may be considered, have also led to violations of the constitutional rights of citizens, under the pretext of promoting the well-being of the social body. Thus, the justification of the thematic relevance is based on the consequences of the sophistry that the COVID-19 health passport, imposed by the public authorities, may cause for society, especially in the absence of previous and/or technical parameters capable of proving the effectiveness of the measure, which is extremely burdensome and flirts with the state of exception. The so-called COVID-19 health passport is problematic, that is, to examine the motivation of the State to relativize and even suppress the guarantees and individual freedoms of those who are deliberately affected by such a measure. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the COVID-19 health passport, because it is an atypical measure, cannot be used haphazardly by the Government, under penalty of causing social segregation, since they privilege certain groups to the detriment of others, in addition to focusing on evident abuse of power. The methodology used was bibliographical, with a selection of books, articles, legal and jurisprudential texts and news extracted from official journals. The most important results of the study indicate that the health passport, at first, sought to implement the standardization of vaccination, however, in the background, it began to be used as a discriminatory measure. Finally, it is imperative to highlight that research cannot be equated with the anti-vaccine movement, much less be understood as a way of encouraging non-vaccination, on the contrary, the proposed approach aims to demonstrate that public policies should be based on humanization, and not on disrespect for rights, freedom and fundamental guarantees.

The objective of this work is to characterize the sources used to obtain water destined for residences in the Cidade do Lobo neighborhood in the city of Porto Velho, State of Rondônia - Southern Amazon. The methodology employed was descriptive, using the inductive method, and the procedures adopted consisted of bibliographical research, field verification, production and analysis of graphs and characterization of the water supply scenario in the neighborhood during the second half of 2018, through the application of a form with objective questions, in 58 residences, chosen by convenience sampling. It was possible to identify the predominance of two types of wells: the semi-artesian and the amazon, the latter as the main source of water supply for this population. The general network plays an important role in people's lives, but the supply of treated water is limited to some homes in this neighborhood, forcing residents, who do not use well water for direct consumption, to seek alternative solutions to have access to better water. quality, including the purchase of water using a water tank or mineral water available in shops, in addition to collecting water using jerrycans in places that have piped water, demonstrating that a large part of the neighborhood's population is excluded from policies offered by the government, regarding the supply of treated water through protected springs.

Constructing a Collective Memory in the Franco-German-Swiss Upper Rhine Region: European, Trans(national) or Regional?
Authors: WASSENBERG Birte
Published: July 2023

Cross-border regions in Europe have been often identified as models or testing places for European integration. The Franco-German-Swiss Upper Rhine Region has a long experience in cross-border cooperation since the 1960s, which should be a good starting point to construct a collective memory based on its image as an integrated borderland. Based on interviews with key witnesses of the cross-border region, this article shows, how these actors focus on three specific aspects to construct a collective memory: a memory that advocates the ideal of a “Europe of Regions”, a memory of reconciliation and a memory based on a common regional culture and history. It concludes by saying that, despite all efforts, in the absence of a common (trans)regional identity, it is extremely difficult to construct a common memory of the Upper Rhine Region.

A method for estimating health conditions is required to monitor daily health conditions. Various types of data have been used in healthcare studies; however, imaging data are superior because they allow quick and remote measurements. Thermal face images can be measured safely and economically using infrared thermography. Many physiological and psychological states have been evaluated based on the data from these images. A previous study, using short-term experiments, confirmed that an anomaly detection model constructed using a variational autoencoder enables the detection of anomalous states of thermal face images. A long-term experiment is essential to estimate long-term fluctuating human states, such as health conditions. The purpose of this study is to construct a facial skin temperature-based anomaly detection model for human health conditions. The authors obtained thermal face images with health condition questionnaires for approximately a year. Based on the questionnaire responses, the thermal images in good and poor health conditions were labeled “normal state” and “anomaly state,” respectively. The facial skin temperature-based anomaly detection model for health conditions was constructed using a variational autoencoder with only thermal face images in the normal state. The AUC, which represents anomaly detection performance, was 0.70. In addition, an increasing trend of the performance of the model by learning a wider area of skin temperature was confirmed.
El IDS: Un nuevo sistema integrado de toma de decisiones para la gestión de projectos constructivos
Authors:   , Ormazábal Sánchez Gaizka
Published: July 2023

La evolución del mercado y por ende de la demanda del sector de la construcción hace que hoy en día sea cada vez más necesario el desarrollo de un plano transversal de estudio que integre las diversas vertientes del proyecto en vistas a buscar una mayor competitividad. La nueva clave del éxito no será ya tan sólo la alta productividad, sino la gestión orientada a los requerimientos de cada cliente y la capacidad de adaptarse a una demanda y un entorno en cambio continuo y rápido. Dicho plano transversal está constituido por los aspectos de gestión del proyecto, en los que adquiere una singular importancia el problema de la toma de decisión, que constituye el objeto de esta tesis.

A raíz de la revisión del desarrollo de dicho problema en el ámbito de la economía y la gestión empresarial se identifican dos paradigmas en su enfoque. El primero corresponde a una perspectiva positivista del problema, que hace hincapié en los aspectos cuantificables y objetivizables. Posteriormente, con base en los criticismos generados en torno a este primer enfoque surgió una visión posmoderna del mismo, basada en un enfoque social que desconfía de la racionalidad y articula su propuesta en el consenso entre las partes.

En este contexto, la propuesta de esta tesis se fundamenta en lo que aquí se ha denominado "paradigma integrador", el cual parte del reconocimiento de las aportaciones de los dos enfoques anteriores siendo consciente a la vez de sus limitaciones. Por ello, aboga por una adopción ad hoc de los enfoques y herramientas asociadas a ambas perspectivas, según las características específicas del problema, abriendo las puertas a una posible combinación de ambas.

Desde esta perspectiva integradora, en lo relativo a la vertiente metodológica se propone un instrumento de toma de decisiones al que se denomina IDS (Integrated Decision System), y que se articula en torno a dos conceptos que constituyen los ejes principales de la propuesta: el valor y el riesgo. Por otro lado, la razón de ser de la denominación de "sistema" corresponde a su concepción como conjunto de elementos: conceptos, formulaciones, métodos, metodologías y herramientas.

La propuesta se define y describe con un carácter general, aplicable a cualquier ámbito de la gestión, si bien se adapta y particulariza el estudio para el campo específico de la gestión de proyectos constructivos. Posteriormente se explora su potencialidad a través del estudio de su aplicabilidad, en primer lugar en el ámbito de una técnica de gestión, la metodología del valor o Value Management, y posteriormente en el campo más general de la gestión de proyectos o Project Management. En el primer caso se realiza también un estudio para su aplicabilidad en el seno del sector de la construcción española. Finalmente se hace una ulterior investigación de la aplicabilidad del sistema propuesto en el ámbito de la gestión de organizaciones.

This paper begins with analyzing financial ratios by examining the effect of liquidity, leverage, operating capacity, profitability, and sales growth as predictors of firms' financial distress risk. The study employs a statistical method (logit model). Using 38 property, real estate, and construction services firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2016 and 2022, 646 observations were collected and analyzed using logistic regression. The results show that leverage, operating capacity, and profitability positively and significantly influenced predicting financial distress risk, while liquidity and sales growth do not affect predicting financial distress risk. The result of model calcification accuracy is 84%; this shows that the model can accurately predict the financial distress risk of property, real estate, and construction services companies in the study period of 543 observations from 646 observations or 84%. This study concludes that profitability, leverage, and operating capacity influence the financial distress risk on property, real estate, and construction services companies.
Tanggung Jawab Penilai dalam Pengadaan Tanah bagi Pembangunan untuk Kepentingan Umum
Authors: K. Harjono Dhaniswara
Published: July 2023

Pendahuluan: Pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum dilakukan dengan adanya ganti kerugian bagi pemilik objek pengadaan tanah. Nilai ganti kerugian ditentukan berdasarkan penilaian oleh Penilai Tanah yang tergabung dalam Kantor Jasa Penilai Publik (KJPP), atas nilai objek pengadaan tanah. Tujuan: Hasil penilaian dijadikan dasar musyawarah penetapan ganti kerugian dengan pemilik objek pengadaan tanah. Tulisan ini menganalisis sejauh mana tanggung jawab KJPP dan Penilai Publik dalam melakukan penilaian dalam rangka pelaksanaan pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum. Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan Yuridis Normatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa permasalahan keadaan faktual seperti posisi tawar menawar yang tidak setara, serta inkonsistensi dalam regulasi pengadaan tanah bagi pembangunan untuk kepentingan umum, sehingga hasil penilaian oleh Penilai menjadi sangat menentukan bagi kehidupan pemilik objek pengadaan tanah setelah haknya beralih kepada pihak yang membutuhkan tanah. Kesimpulan: Penilai bertanggung jawab untuk melaksanakan penilaian sesuai dengan tata cara yang telah ditetapkan
A Plea for Wild Philosophy
Authors: van Calcar Menno ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2023

Teaching philosophy online in secondary schools differs from offline teaching. The explanations usually offered for this difference show the cognitivist assumptions of mainstream pre-university philosophy education, meaning that philosophy education assumes that the aim of its practice is the enhancement of internal mental abilities. This paper argues that this view of the goal of education is unwarranted and unnecessarily restrictive, and that it implies an undesirable dichotomy between learning to be competent and being competent. An alternative, based on ecological and enactive views of cognition, is presented as a better conception of philosophical cognitive competence in general, and of the difference between offline and online teaching in particular. This alternative suggests that the difference resembles the difference between life in a zoo and life in the jungle, and that we should teach pupils to do wild philosophy.
