Learners in a Tight Corner: An Investigation of Figurative Idiomatic Competence and Learner-related Factors
Authors: Al-Houti Shorouq K. , Aldaihani Sultan M.
Published: March 2020

Idioms play an indispensable role in communication. Knowledge of idioms is considered an indicator of proficiency. This study is aimed at investigating English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ knowledge of frequently used idioms and the effect of learner-related factors. The participants were 218 female EFL college students at the College of Basic Education (CBE) in Kuwait. A test was designed and used as the data collection instrument to assess the students’ knowledge of frequent idioms. The test scores reveal a substantially low overall knowledge in this area. The results show that Kuwaiti EFL learners have difficulty comprehending common idiomatic expressions. Additionally, the study is aimed at determining whether students’ knowledge of idioms is linked to age, year of study, and/or Grade Point Average (GPA). A statistically significant difference in knowledge of frequently used idioms is evident when GPA is taken into account.

Authors: Grabarczyk Michał , Bogdan Katarzyna
Published: March 2020

The article discusses the similarities and differences between two explosiveness parameters, i.e. flash point and explosion point. Literature overview, experimental measurements and computational studies were performed on the explosion point parameter, which is also called temperature flammability limits. Research was conducted in accordance with the PN-EN 15794 standard, which specifically refers to determining the explosion point parameter of flammable liquids. The article also contains the authors’ insight on the measurements methodology, as well as accuracy validation of various estimation methods. The obtained results can be used for explosion protection of technological processes which involve flammable liquids.
Acoustics of silence
Authors: Lipowczan Adam
Published: March 2020

Previous themes of most scientific conferences, as well as publications addressing issues of noise have focused on SPL intervals: of danger (80-130 dB) and to a lesser extent of annoyance (45-80 dB). In the last two years, there have been a series of studies on to the range of acoustic comfort (20-45 dB). The paper discusses the importance of this range in several approaches (physical, metrological, legal). It also presents selected issues on very low sound pressure levels (below 20 dB).
Limiting exposure to noise of miners servicing conveyor belts by situating their workstations within technological recesses
Authors: Kompała Janusz , Wiśniowski Rafał
Published: March 2020

The article presents a method of limiting exposure to noise in the vicinity or workstations of conveyor drive services. This is done by setting up the conveyor belt personnel’s workstations within special technological recesses. The core of the presented solution consists in the design of an optimal set up of the technological recess, which in turn has enabled the realisation of production activities with OSH taken into account. The necessary requirement was a simultaneous achievement of the value of the equivalent noise level A LAeq below the value of relevant health standards. The results of the measurement were superimposed on the schematics of the mining excavation, and thus decided about the placement of the solution. New workstations were created and located according to the same schematics with the use of one-way exit with roof and the front wall and the side walls made of straight cross-bars of V29 profiles. Additionally, to improve the acoustic climate, the constructed technological recesses went through the acoustic adaptation performed with the use of sound absorbing material. The solution has been implemented in Węglokoks Kraj Sp. z o.o. KWK „Bobrek - Piekary”.
Women at physical work stations – limitations resulting from gender and age
Authors: Łastowiecka Elżbieta
Published: March 2020

Contemporary studies indicate the lack of a positive impact of high physical effort in professional work on health, especially in connection with the deficit of recreational physical activity during leisure time. Women, due to physiological conditions, are not able to perform all activities at work equally with men. This applies in particular to work related to physical effort, transport of weights and forced body position. In the case of older women, apart from the physiological differences dictated by gender, functional changes occurring in the ageing human body, which also significantly reduce the ability to perform physical work, are added.
The problem of employers disregarding hard physical labour leads to adverse effects for both them and their companies. Excessive work load and, associated with it, fatigue of employees result in inferior quality and work efficiency and the increase in sick leave due to ailments and illnesses. Therefore, it seems obvious to adapt the work station and working conditions to the needs of older women that perform physical work.

Men’s knowledge and beliefs about their care for health – results of in-depth interviews
Authors: Hildt-Ciupińska Katarzyna , Pawłowska-Cyprysiak Karolina
Published: March 2020

Men's health behaviors and care for health are getting more explored, due to adverse statistics on morbidity, mortality and chronic diseases for this group. Men generally assess their health well, declare that they care about it, and yet, what more often they fall ill, which they could avoid by following the principles of a healthy lifestyle, including, above all, rational nutrition and physical activity. This article presents data from direct interviews with 51 men, which show that they have a lot of knowledge about health and care for it, but unfortunately it does not always transform into their health behaviors. Men are happy to talk about their health and show interest in this subject, which allows to conclude that a properly planned health education program for them would bring the desired effects in the form of greater health care.
Signal transfer through the hearing protectors with the regulation of damping in the presence of the impulse noise
Authors: Młyński Rafał , Kozłowski Emil
Published: March 2020

Hearing protectors with the regulation of damping are used ever so more frequently to protect the hearing of persons endangered with the presence of impulse noise. A clear advantage coming from the use of this type of hearing protectors, compared to other types, lies in the improvement of the perception of useful signals. However, in spite of such advantages it is during their use one can observe the effect of “blocking” of the sound transfer underneath the protectors (meaning the limitation of the signal transfer through the protectors), occurring directly after the appearance of the acoustic impulse.
The article presents an analysis of the acoustic signal transfer underneath the hearing protectors with the regulation of damping in the situation of the acoustic impulse appearance. The analysis aimed at the definition of the time of the “blocking” of noise transfer underneath the protectors effect as well as the decrease of the acoustic pressure level resulting from the mentioned effect. Towards that goal a special work stand was prepared, consisting of impulse signal source, a set noise and an acoustic tester (artificial head). The research had shown the time of the “blocking” effect during the use of the protectors with the regulation of damping to be reaching 1.2 seconds and the decrease in the value of the mean acoustic pressure level, resulting from such effect, to be exceeding even 16 dB.
Borreliosis’ incidence among selected professionals in Poland
Authors: Mazur Paweł , Nowak Grzegorz
Published: March 2020

Borreliosis, also known as the Lyme disease, can be often characterized with a long-term latency period. Varied symptoms caused by different strains may additionally make it difficult to identify. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can lead to irreversible osteoarticular or neurological changes. In the case of pregnant women the illness can cause developmental changes of the fetus or even lead to miscarriage. The wide base of tick hosts additionally increases the risk of contracting borreliosis by various occupational groups. This publication is aimed at presenting the risk of contracting the Lyme disease among selected professionals in Poland, especially in respect to forest workers, perceived as the highest risk group. By correlating data from many years of disease reports, it is possible to observe the effects of the hitherto use of personal protection measures and to determine the estimated likelihood of the Lyme disease spread among other professional groups.
Ocena hałasu tonalnego w środowisku pracy
Authors: Radosz Jan
Published: March 2020

Hałas jako stresor może przyczyniać się do rozwoju różnego typu chorób, powodować rozproszenie uwagi, utrudniać pracę i zmniejszać wydajność pracowników. Elementy wyposażenia technicznego budynku, jak również urządzenia biurowe mogą emitować wyraźne dźwięki o charakterze tonalnym. Powszechne występowanie tych urządzeń w środowisku pracy przekłada się potencjalnie nawet na kilkaset tysięcy stanowisk pracy w Polsce. Liczne doniesienia literaturowe wskazują, że uciążliwość hałasu tonalnego oceniana subiektywnie jest większa niż hałasu szerokopasmowego.
W ocenie środowiska pracy brak jest kryteriów dotyczących hałasu tonalnego zarówno w pomieszczeniach (normy budowlane), jak i w zakresie hałasu na stanowiskach pracy (ocena pod względem uciążliwości). W artykule dokonano przeglądu istniejących przepisów, przeanalizowano dane literaturowe oraz podano wyniki badań prowadzonych w CIOP-PIB w zakresie uciążliwości hałasu tonalnego.

People with intellectual disabilities as testators. Part 2 – Intestacy
Authors: Szeroczyńska Małgorzata
Published: March 2020

The article presents the rules of intestacy under Polish law of succession. It shows who inherits the property of a decedent with intellectual disability and what part of that property depending on the number of related heirs and the degree of kinship. Since these rules are very complex, they are presented with numerous examples. The situation of both biological and adoptive family is discussed as well as the rules of intestacy when there is no family. The article also points out the procedure used in the case of intestate heirs who should not inherit from the testator due to their behavior toward the testator, that is the rule of unworthiness to inherit.

Koncepcja systemu ostrzegania pracowników stosujących ochronniki słuchu przed poruszającym się pojazdem
Authors: Morzyński Leszek , Młyński Rafał , Kozłowski Emil
Published: March 2020

Jednym ze skutków występowania hałasu w środowisku pracy jest maskowanie innych, użytecznych dźwięków niosących dla pracownika istotną informację na temat otoczenia, w którym się znajduje. Percepcja przez pracownika użytecznych sygnałów dźwiękowych jest dodatkowo w znaczącym zakresie pogarszana poprzez stosowanie ochronników słuchu, należących do najpowszechniejszych środków ochrony pracownika przed nadmierną ekspozycją na hałas.
Do sygnałów akustycznych mających duże znaczenie dla pracownika i jego bezpieczeństwa należą sygnały ostrzegawcze, w tym generowane przez będące w ruchu pojazdy transportu wewnątrzzakładowego. Nieprawidłowa percepcja takich sygnałów wynikająca z występowania hałasu i stosowania ochronników słuchu może zatem prowadzić do powstawania groźnych dla zdrowia i życia wypadków. W artykule omówiono możliwości ostrzegania pracowników stosujących ochronniki słuchu przed najechaniem przez pojazd, z uwzględnieniem różnych metod technicznych wykrywania zagrożenia najechaniem jak i przekazywania pracownikowi informacji o zagrożeniu. Przedstawiono również koncepcję rozwijanego w Centralnym Instytucie Ochrony Pracy – Państwowym Instytucie Badawczym systemu ostrzegania pracowników stosujących ochronniki słuchu przed zbliżającym się pojazdem, wykorzystującego techniki radiowe do wykrywania zagrożenia najechaniem. Przedstawiono możliwości techniczne realizacji takiego systemu wskazując na jego zalety i wady.
Pathologizing the Wounded?: Interrogating the Efficacy of 'Post-traumatic Stress Disorder' in An Era of Gun Violence
Authors: Johnston Emily
Published: March 2020

Drawing on the 2017 Las Vegas Shooting as a potent example of trauma, this article investigates how classifying post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) (APA, 2013) shapes cultural understandings of traumatization and survival in an era of gun violence. “PTSD” reproduces colonizing arrangements of power, as elucidated by an activ¬ity theory analysis of the DSM-5, the global authority on psychiatric diagnoses, alongside both diagnostic protocols for PTSD and PTSD discourse in news cov¬erage of the Las Vegas Shooting. This rhetorical approach to the DSM-5 as a complex system of activity exposes conflicting effects: classifying post-traumatic stress as “mental disorder” qualifies traumatized survivors for medical treatment, while also pathologizing the debilitating, long-term trauma that mass shootings can cause. This potential conflict between alleviating and pathologizing suffering shores up an individual or biomedical model of health, in contrast to a public health model oriented around the health of populations, that may shame survivors and commodify their pain.
A Historical Perspective on the “Mental Illness as Motive” Narrative
Authors: Kearney Cassandra
Published: March 2020

In an effort to better understand the historical significance of the “mental illness as motive” narrative, this essay investigates what has been recognized as the first mass shooting in the modern United States—Howard Unruh’s 1949 mass shoot¬ing in Camden, New Jersey. Given that mass shootings were an unprecedented phenomenon, the news media played an important role in explaining the event. As will be shown, many Americans felt uncertain about how mental illness man¬ifested and who was vulnerable. Given the often undisclosed, albeit perceived threat of schizophrenia, the public needed reassurance that there would be some indicator of insanity. Accordingly, the media used evidence of religious fanaticism and unfavorable physical descriptions of Unruh to cast him as separate, outside, or an “other.” Ultimately, the media’s rhetorical choices differentiated Unruh and attempted to make mental illness easier to identify for an audience afraid of its influence.
Trabalho voluntário e realização espiritual: um estudo a partir do pensamento de Victor E. Frankl
Authors: Saturnino Marcia do Carmo
Published: March 2020

O trabalho voluntário vem ganhando novas conotações no mundo contemporâneo, gerando novos investimentos em estudos acadêmicos e conquistando espaço na mídia e em movimentos culturais. Esta dissertação, objetiva investigar o trabalho voluntário como potencialmente realizador do ser humano em sua espiritualidade, a partir do referencial teórico na perspectiva de Viktor Frankl. Para isto, no primeiro capítulo se aborda a teoria de Viktor Frankl e seus principais conceitos relacionados à espiritualidade, como: dimensão noética, inconsciente espiritual e autotranscendência. O segundo capítulo trata conceitualmente do trabalho voluntário, juntamente com um breve histórico desta realidade no Brasil e, por fim, a motivações que estimula a ação voluntária. O terceiro capítulo procura associar o trabalho voluntário e realização espiritual. Para isto, desenvolve temáticas como: a solidariedade fundamentada em princípios éticos, o altruísmo, a empatia, a gratuidade e mais enfaticamente a atitude de amor a partir da dimensão espiritual, concluindo que o trabalho voluntário fundamentado no amor profundo tem o potencial de realizar a pessoa espiritualmente. A metodologia utilizada é a revisão bibliográfica, utilizando a fenomenologia hermenêutica. E termina com as considerações finais, reforçando a ideia de que o trabalho voluntário é potencialmente realizador da pessoa em sua espiritualidade, pois, está direcionado para uma busca de sentido para a vida e também pode ser compreendido a partir da capacidade que o ser humano tem de sair do ensimesmamento e de olhar para além de si, em direção a um outro ou a uma causa, compreendendo nisso possibilidades da autotranscendência.
Erwerbsverläufe von Müttern und Vätern mit Hochschulabschluss im Wandel Eine Untersuchung der Examenskohorten 1997, 2001 und 2005
Authors: Brandt Gesche
Published: March 2020

Dieser Beitrag untersucht, ob parallel zu den familienpolitischen Reformen der letzten Jahre eine Angleichung der Erwerbsmuster von Vätern und Müttern stattgefunden hat. Dazu werden die Erwerbsverläufe von Hochschulabsolventinnen und -absolventen aus drei Abschlusskohorten vergleichend untersucht. Mit Sequenz- und Regressionsanalysen werden geschlechts- und kohortentypische Verläufe identifiziert und geprüft, ob über die Kohorten geschlechterdifferente Standardisierungs- bzw. De-Standardisierungsprozesse erkennbar sind und worauf diese zurückzuführen sind. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass auch bei Hochqualifizierten geschlechtstypische Erwerbsmuster von Müttern und Vätern vorliegen. Väter weisen meist kontinuierliche Vollzeiterwerbsbiografien auf, wohingegen die Erwerbsverläufe von Müttern aufgrund von Eltern- und Teilzeiten divers sind. Über die Kohorten deutet sich bei Müttern jedoch eine graduelle Annäherung an die Vollzeiterwerbsbiografie an. Die Erwerbsverläufe von Vätern scheinen sich hingegen nicht verändert zu haben.

Authors: Hradský Ondřej , Sadílek Tomáš
Published: March 2020

This article looks at the working expectations and motivations of Generation Y members working in their parents’ businesses. The goal of this article is to identify how the working expectations and motivations of Generation Y members working in their parents’ businesses differ from the working expectations and motivations of Generation Y overall. Qualitative research design and in-depth unstructured interviews with 31 respondents were used to obtain the opinions of Generation Y members working in their parents’ businesses. Three main dimensions of working motivation were surveyed: the reasons for entering a family business, what work in a family business means, and general motivation to work. The principal findings of the article are the importance of work-life balance, flexibility, the opportunity for career development and the drive to continue one’s family tradition for Generation Y members working in their parents’ businesses. A sample of respondents added that they expect to be more involved in the operation of the family business in the future. A sample of our respondents also expected to be more involved in the operation of the family business in the future.
An Integrated Framework of Market and Nonmarket Strategies for Demoralized Transition Economies
Authors: Humphreys John H. , Loncar Dragan , Atinc Guclu , Hayek Mario , Novicevic Milorad M.
Published: March 2020

In the extant literature, transition economies are sporadically addressed under the moniker of emerging economies and often only through calls for more contextualized research. Moreover, not all transition economies are emerging, as attempts at rapid transformation have resulted in economic deterioration as well. Yet, we lack models that approach the coordination of market and nonmarket strategies in contexts experiencing ongoing economic malaise. Accordingly, we examined the institutional and market strategies of Frikom, a regional ice cream producer profiting in the demoralized transition economy of Serbia, to identify antecedents to socio-cultural demoralization, elaborate a reconstructed view of nonmarket strategy in a demoralized transition economy, and conceptualize an integrated alignment model for firms competing in demoralized transitional economic environments.

The Tools of Diversion in the Proceedings Against Companies: the Effects of the US Model on European Systems
Authors: Angiolini Giulia
Published: March 2020

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the tools of diversion that some States have already introduced in the proceedings against the companies. The premise from which the analysis moves is represented by the assertion that, even if the principle of legality of the prosecution characterizes the criminal proceedings against natural persons, the ones against legal persons could be, conversely, built on the opposite one of discretion. Then, the analysis moves to ascertain that some of the juridical systems open to a discretionary prosecution have also adopted some diversionary tools that let the companies, which have been committed in restorative activities and in the implementation of their compliance programs, to escape the proceedings deriving for the commission of crimes within their own activities. After portraying the scenario of three samples, i. e. the US archetype, the British implementation and the French recent experiment, the focus shifts to Italy, which has not adopted any diversionary means in the proceedings against a corporation yet. There, could the explicitness of the principle of mandatory prosecution represent help to ensure that the suggested insertion of diversionary tools also in the proceedings against legal persons would not present some of the negatives seen where these kinds of instruments already work, above all the degeneration into a means of unjustified disparity?
France and European Prison Law: Pretend Implementation and Actual Non-Compliance – An Empirical Research
Authors: Herzog-Evans Martine
Published: March 2020

Prima facie, the implementation of European prison law rules and European Court rulings seems to be facilitated by the French legal structure since it views international and European law as having primacy over national norms. However, in a written law jurisdiction such as France, jurisprudence does not benefit from a very high status and soft low is generally dismissed since it is not binding. Previous legal research has addressed European jurisdictions’ compliance with European human rights law, notably as regards prison matters. However, it has used classic legal reasoning. Few studies have put this issue to the empirical test. Two notable exceptions are Tom Daems regarding Belgium, and Koskenniemi and Lappi-Seppälä’s regarding Scandinavian jurisdictions. This article presents the results of a study pertaining to France’s compliance with the rulings of the European Human Rights Court and the recommendations of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture regarding prison issues, this by using a combination of Daems and Koskenniemi-Lappi-Seppälä classifications. It finds that, as a general rule, France is non-compliant with prisoners’ European human rights. Additionally, although it has made significant efforts to respond to the overcrowding crisis, France has failed, notably because it has not addressed overcrowding systemic and criminological causes.
Hybrides Unionsrecht
Authors: Nees Daniel
Published: March 2020

The contract of the European Stability Mechanism and the European Fiscal Compact are international treaties and – from a formal point of view – not part of European Union law. With regard to the institutional level and to the main contents of the contracts, there is a specific relationship to the law of the European Union: Both treaties aim at developing European integration. This situation leads to legal questions about the conditions of this specific type of contract, which have rarely been asked yet. Therefore, this work analyses the conditions which European Union law and German constitutional law require for the legal validity of this kind of international treaty.
Internationales und Europäisches Strafrecht
Authors: Satzger Helmut
Published: March 2020

Die Europäische Union hat - nicht zuletzt seit dem Vertrag von Lissabon - starke Möglichkeiten, das nationale Straf- und Strafverfahrensrecht zu beeinflussen. Auf völkerrechtlicher Ebene ist ein gänzlich eigenständiges Strafrechtssystem für völkerrechtliche Verbrechen entstanden.

Das Lehrbuch gibt einen aktuellen Überblick über das Strafanwendungsrecht, über das Straf- und Strafverfahrensrecht der Europäischen Union, die einschlägigen Garantien der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention sowie über das Völkerstrafrecht in seinen wesentlichen Grundzügen. Die 9. Aufl. behandelt u.a. die Folgeentscheidungen des EuGH zur Relevanz von grundrechtlichen Bedenken als Auslieferungshindernis innerhalb der EU (europäischer ordre public) sowie die Umsetzung der sog. PIF-Richtlinie durch den deutschen Gesetzgeber. Auf verfahrensrechtlicher Ebene werden die Neuregelungen zum Verhältnis der (bisherigen) EU-Strafverfolgungsbehörden (Eurojust, Europol, OLAF) zur Europäischen Staatsanwaltschaft erörtert. Neben der aktuellen EGMR-Rechtsprechung findet sich eine aktuelle rechtspolitische Bewertung der Arbeit des IStGH im Kontext weltweit erstarkender staatlicher Souveränitätserwägungen.

In bewährter Manier wird auch diese Auflage des Buches durch eine ständig aktualisierte Homepage (www.lehrbuch-satzger.de) ergänzt, die alle wichtigen Dokumente enthält, auf die Bezug genommen wird, und die so die Arbeit mit dem Buch stark vereinfacht.
Die heilige Ordnung der Menschenwürde
Authors: Möbius Malte
Published: March 2020

As human beings we are exposed to our mortality. Though we are unable to find the reason for our existence, we exist—with others. Being with others is both necessary for our survival and a source of joy and pain. The central question remains: How do we want to live together?

Human beings need to be empowered to participate in this fundamental discourse. The concept of the ‘sacrality of the individual’ explains why inviolable values, such as human dignity, do not only need to be implemented in our Basic Law, but need to be filled with life—they need to be believed in.

Rational concepts of order will always have arational foundations. The ‘Sacred Order of Human Dignity’ shows why an awareness of this fact is crucial for the stability of democratic self-determination.
Enduring Effects of Infant Emotional Security on Preschooler Adaptation to Interparental Conflict
Authors: Dorn Olivia , D. Du Rocher Schudlich Tina
Published: March 2020

Emotional security theory illustrates the significance of children’s reactions to interparental conflict as a mediator of the associations between interparental conflict and children’s well-being. Less is known about infants’ emotional security. The current study assessed the stability of emotional security over infancy through preschool years. We also assessed whether infant emotional insecurity mediated between interparental conflict during infancy and preschooler adjustment. Seventy-four families with infants aged 6–14 months participated at Time 1. Parents engaged in a conflict resolution task with their infants present. Families returned when children were 3–5 years old (Time 2). Families engaged in the same conflict resolution task and parents additionally completed the Strengths and Difficulty Questionnaire to assess preschooler adjustment. Cluster analyses revealed two classes of infants based on conflict responses at Time 1: secure and insecure. The insecure group demonstrated higher levels of distress, frustration, physical frustration, and dysregulation compared to the secure group. These classifications remained relatively stable over Times 1 and 2. Infant emotional security mediated associations between Time 1 interparental conflict and preschooler adjustment, even when considering preschooler emotional security. Our results highlight the lasting legacy of destructive conflict on infants’ still developing security systems.
Représentations du tatouage : le paradoxe de la différenciation et de l’assimilation
Authors: Girard Mélanie , Laflamme Simon , Vautier Claude
Published: March 2020

La technique du tatouage serait, en principe, aussi vielle que l’humain. Réservée à peu près exclusivement aux sous-cultures de la déviance pendant la majeure partie du XIXe siècle, on voit s’étendre son usage, en Occident, depuis les années 1980, 1990, période pendant laquelle on assiste à une expansion des modifications corporelles en général. La question se pose donc de savoir comment expliquer cet engouement récent pour les bodmods dont, au premier chef, le tatouage. Dans ce texte, nous soutenons, d’une part, que sa montée en popularité peut s’expliquer par une épistémè qui prend racine dans quatre phénomènes distincts, mais interreliés : le rapport à l’espace qui se noue dans les années d’après la première guerre et qui se cristallise en 1969 avec les premiers pas sur la lune ; la montée en puissance des super héros, portés par des plateformes comme Marvel Comics et DC Comics ; la révolution sexuelle et le mouvement hippie qui en est le corollaire ; l’apparition d’internet et des réseaux sociaux en particulier. Nous avançons, d’autre part, que le fait de se faire tatouer ne peut être qu’un geste à la fois individuel et collectif, qu’en se singularisant, on intègre forcément une communauté, les sociétés humaines ne pouvant se construire que sur une logique du paradoxe, d’une tension nécessaire entre homogénéité et différenciation. À travers les données tirées d’une enquête franco-canadienne et en distinguant entre personnes non tatouées, peu tatouées et très tatouées, nous démontrons que, bien que la dimension artistique soit plus présente dans le discours français et la dimension symbolique, plus caractéristique du propos canadien, le tatouage éveille globalement, chez les individus interrogés, des référents liés à sa dimension artistique et esthétique, à la santé et au fait qu’il amène à transgresser des normes et à repousser ses limites physiques et psychologiques. Le tatouage apparaît ainsi comme un processus individuel qui inscrit dans le collectif, le rapport au collectif étant tantôt extérieur, tantôt secondaire, tantôt implicite, tributaire qu’il est du fait que l’on soit plus ou moins tatoué.
Intégration des considérations sociales en zone périphérique des aires protégées : le cas du parc national de Frontenac
Authors: Chénier Maxime , Dion Dominic , Charest René , Cloutier Geneviève
Published: March 2020

Considérant que la région périphérique des aires protégées joue un rôle important pour l’intégrité écologique de ces dernières et qu’elle est souvent hors du contrôle des gestionnaires, cette étude vise le développement d’un cadre méthodologique permettant de mieux orienter la mise en place des projets de zones périphériques, tout en favorisant la mobilisation des populations locales. La méthode s’appuie sur trois concepts centraux et englobants : le capital social, le niveau de patrimonialisation et le type de relation avec la nature. Celle-ci a été conçue de sorte à pouvoir être appliquée dans plusieurs contextes et régions, mais elle a été testée en périphérie du parc national de Frontenac. Les résultats amènent les gestionnaires de l’environnement à mieux comprendre les enjeux citoyens et leur relation avec le territoire, ce qui leur permettra d’orienter plus aisément les activités de concertation et de sensibilisation entourant le développement de projets de conservation de la nature. Le cadre méthodologique vise une mobilisation accrue des citoyens en faveur des projets, améliorant à la fois les chances de réussite et la durabilité des actions proposées.

‐sitosterol and gentisic acid loaded 1,2‐dipalmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine liposomal particles
Authors: Jovanović Aleksandra A. , Balanč Bojana D. , Ota Ajda , Djordjević Verica B. , Šavikin Katarina P. , Nedović Viktor A. , Poklar Ulrih Nataša
Published: March 2020

The aim of the present study was the examination of the impact of -sitosterol andgentisic acid on the characteristics of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DPPC) liposomal particles: (a) bilayer permeability (fluorescence spectroscopy),(b) particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential (photon correlationspectroscopy) and (c) thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry). -sitosterol induced the increase of liposomal bilayer rigidity, due to rearranging ofthe phospholipid chains, while gentisic acid enhanced the membrane fluidity, dueto the reduced orderliness and the increase of phospholipid dynamics. The inclusionof -sitosterol in liposomes caused a significant increase in particle diameterand PDI, while the encapsulation of gentisic acid did not have influence on particlesize distribution. Apart from that, the presence of -sitosterol resulted in thesignificant zeta potential increase, and thus a better stability of liposomal spheres(in the absence and in the presence of gentisic acid). -sitosterol decreased maintransition temperature (Tm) and phase transition enthalpy (H), and caused thedisappearance of the pre-transition peak as well, whereas the presence of gentisicacid produced a slight decrease in Tm and increase of H. Therefore, gentisic acidhad more favourable, stabilizing interactions with phospholipids than -sitosterol.Thus, it can be concluded that -sitosterol is located in the bilayer interior betweenphospholipids acyl chains, and gentisic acid is incorporated near the outer leaflet ofthe phospholipid membrane, next to the polar head groups. -sitosterol and gentisicacid loaded DPPC liposomal particles have a potential to be used in food andpharmaceutical products, due to the important individual and possible synergisticbeneficial health properties of -sitosterol and gentisic acid.

Schiff bases are organic compounds formed by the reaction of the primary aminewith carbonyl compounds (aldehydes or ketones). These are mainly bi- or tridentateligands capable of forming very stable complexes with transitional metals. They areused as catalysts in oxygenation, hydrolysis, electro-reduction and decompositionreactions. Many Shiff bases show significant anti-tumor, antimicrobial and antifungalactivity, which are the subject of research by many scientists in the world.In this paper Schiff base from benzidine and 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione wassynthesized. To characterize the product, FTIR spectroscopy and stereo-microscopywere used. In order to determine biological activity, antibacterial, antifungal andantioxidant activity of the product was tested.The results showed that the interaction of benzidine and 1,3-diphenylpropanedioneresults in a Schiff base showing antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity.

The aim of this study was to determine the possibility of using two low-cost binders,quicklime and fly ash for the solidification/stabilization (S/S) of pyrite cinder.Pyrite cinder, used in this study, represents a remnant from sulfuric acid productionin fertilizer factory IHP “Prahovo” A.D. (Serbia), and has a very high toxicmetal content. High contents and leachability of copper, lead and zinc make thiswaste material hazardous, representing an extraordinary risk to the environment.In order to determine the leaching behavior of the S/S mixtures, four single-stepleaching tests were performed, each one having a different sort of leaching fluid(deionized water, inorganic and organic acidic solutions). X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDS)were implemented to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for immobilization ofCu, Pb and Zn. Overall, the test results indicated that S/S treatment using bothquicklime and fly ash was effective in immobilizing these metals, especially whenthere is a higher share of binder present. Treated waste can be safe for disposal andeven considered for “controlled utilization”. Furthermore, the use of fly ash for S/Streatment of pyrite cinder solves the disposal problems of two waste types, as it alsorepresents a secondary industrial product.

Published: March 2020

This article is dedicated to the research on current trends in formation of residential areas of the early XXI century. The dynamic of development of modern cities forms new perceptions on advancement of living spaces. The increase of mobility, multifunctionality, problems of social stratification, segregation, as well as growing dynamic of functional integration of production activity into residential environment and formation of socio-iconological worldview of society lead to visual transformation of residential areas. The global experience of city planning is being infiltrated by the newest 3D-planning solutions of residential development projects, forming new structural components of public spaces, and change social-functional characteristics of residential architecture, which is of particular interest for the modern theory of urban development. The article generalizes the development patterns of urbanized territories of large cities that impact the emergence of new forms of living spaces, new types of public spaces, and residential architecture. Characteristic is given to the modern principles of formation of residential areas. The research is carried out with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research in the context of scientific project No.18-312-00177.

Authors: Glatolenkova Ekaterina
Published: March 2020

This article examines the peculiarities of formation of residential areas along the Chinese Eastern Railway (CER); analyzes the pattern of settlements; and examines the architectural nuances of residential buildings. The object of this research is the architectural urban development peculiarities of Russian railroad stations on the territory of Northern Manchuria. The subject of this research is the residential environment in the settlements along the Chinese Eastern Railway. The chronological framework covers the first three decades of the XX century: beginning of construction and first years of exploitation of the railway, characterized by active urban development process and creation of full-fledged environment for accommodation of construction workers, railway workers, migrants from Russia, Southern Manchuria and mainland China. The theoretical foundation for this study consists in the systemic-axiological approach, according to which the culture defines the system of materialistic and spiritual values passed from one generation to another, and allows determining the value grounds of cultural interaction and its panhuman significance. The work explores the peculiarities of architecture and urban development in the settlements along CER. Study is carried out on the construction process of the railway and living conditions of first workers, approaches towards design of the stations of the main line and the southern branch, as well as architecture of residential building of the settlements. The author considers the impact of Russian environment upon the existing Chinese cities, and the use of the traditional Chinese approaches in the projects by the Russian engineers and architects.
Smart Cities
Authors: Halegoua Germaine
Published: March 2020

Key concepts, definitions, examples, and historical contexts for understanding smart cities, along with discussions of both drawbacks and benefits of this approach to urban problems.

Over the past ten years, urban planners, technology companies, and governments have promoted smart cities with a somewhat utopian vision of urban life made knowable and manageable through data collection and analysis. Emerging smart cities have become both crucibles and showrooms for the practical application of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and the integration of big data into everyday life. Are smart cities optimized, sustainable, digitally networked solutions to urban problems? Or are they neoliberal, corporate-controlled, undemocratic non-places? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a concise introduction to smart cities, presenting key concepts, definitions, examples, and historical contexts, along with discussions of both the drawbacks and the benefits of this approach to urban life.

After reviewing current terminology and justifications employed by technology designers, journalists, and researchers, the book describes three models for smart city development—smart-from-the-start cities, retrofitted cities, and social cities—and offers examples of each. It covers technologies and methods, including sensors, public wi-fi, big data, and smartphone apps, and discusses how developers conceive of interactions among the built environment, technological and urban infrastructures, citizens, and citizen engagement. Throughout, the author—who has studied smart cities around the world—argues that smart city developers should work more closely with local communities, recognizing their preexisting relationship to urban place and realizing the limits of technological fixes. Smartness is a means to an end: improving the quality of urban life.
We Are Not Users

A call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world.

We live in a material world of designed artifacts, both digital and analog. We think of ourselves as users; the platforms, devices, or objects provide a service that we can use. But is this really the case? We Are Not Users argues that people cannot be reduced to the entity called “user”; we are not homogenous but diverse. That buzz of dissonance that we hear reflects the difficulty of condensing our diversity into “one size fits all.” This book proposes that a new understanding of design could resolve that dissonance, and issues a call to reclaim and rethink the field of designing as a liberal art where diverse voices come together to shape the material world. The authors envision designing as a dialogue, simultaneously about the individual and the social—an act enriched by diversity of both disciplines and perspectives.

The book presents the building blocks of a language that can conceive designing in all its richness, with relevance for both theory and practice. It introduces a theoretical model, terminology, examples, and a framework for bringing together the social, cultural, and political aspects of designing. It will be essential reading for design theorists and for designers in areas ranging from architecture to software design and policymaking.
