Effects on the Perceptions of Language Importance in Canada’s Urban Indigenous Peoples
Authors: Jewell Eva M
Published: November 2019

The following analysis utilizes data drawn from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) to examine the effects of age, sex, education, household type, and exposure to Indigenous[1] language inside the home and outside the home on the perceived importance of Indigenous language for Indigenous people living in urban centres across Canada. The results of the regression analysis indicate that “exposure to Indigenous language inside the home” and “exposure to Indigenous language outside the home” is directly related to how important Indigenous language is perceived by urban Indigenous peoples.[1] Statistics Canada and the Government of Canada utilize the term “Aboriginal” to identify First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples. The author has chosen to use “Indigenous”, a term that communicates the quality of being original in land and place.

Multi-Offenders In (Double) Jeopardy – Towards Cross-Border Prosecution and Sentencing Rules for Offenders Who Have Committed Multiple Offences
Authors: Audenaert Nele , Bondt Wendy De
Published: November 2019

The European freedom of movement has led to an increase of criminal cases with a cross-border element. Offenders can easily commit multiple offences on the territory of different Member States or can easily move from one Member State to another after having committed an offence. This might result in some proportionality concerns, since being prosecuted more than once and being punished more than once might cause extra (unjustified) distress on the offender. There is thus a dire need for European rules on prosecution and sentencing in cases with a cross-border element. In this regard, several EU rules are being analysed, more specifically in the light of the prosecution and sentencing of multi-offenders. Of course, the ne bis in idem principle is one of the main rules in this context. It will appear that the ne bis in idem principle’s field of application is still too restricted, too contested and even too unexplored. Not all defendants can enjoy the procedural safeguards called to life by the ne bis in idem principle, nor does unanimity exist with regard to which offenders can invoke the principle. Unfortunately, the more recent legal instruments neither succeed in providing some more procedural safeguards and some more legal certainty for all defendants. This contribution will analyse the lack of procedural safeguards for multi-offenders due to the limited ne bis in idem principle and the non-complementary fields of application of other judicial cooperation instruments on both the prosecution and sentencing level and will make some recommendations in this regard.

Биокапитализм и «темпоральная инфраструктура» биотехнологий
Authors: Шевченко Сергей Юрьевич ,   Lobachevsky State University Press
Published: November 2019

Понятие биокапитализма было предложено для изучения особых форм социальной динамики, возникающих изза восприятия собственной биологической жизни в логике инвестирования. Показано, что феномен биокапитализма разворачивается благодаря различию социального, биологического и других «локальных времен», рассматриваемых в статье с точки зрения предложенной Х. Новотны программы «исследований времени». И социальное время, и биологическое время сами по себе могут терять единство, дробясь на продолжительность недуга, цикличность эпидемий, длительность взросления. С другой стороны, отдельное «локальное время» может служить точкой объединения, медиатором между ними. Кроме того, ракурс рассмотрения проблемы биокапитализма обусловлен тем, что роль философии не ограничивается внешней оценкой технологических феноменов, но заключается в картировании путей общественного участия в их разработке. В этой связи вторым основополагающим подходом является конструктивная философия техники, разрабатываемая Филиппом Бреем (Нидерланды) для достижения целей ответственных исследований и инноваций. Благодаря использованию двух указанных подходов сделана попытка трансдисциплинарного рассмотрения современных технологических казусов и некоторых аспектов генеалогии техники. Области локального времени конструируются и связываются в процессе разработки и распространения новых технологий, чаще всего биотехнологий. Данный процесс предложено называть созданием «темпоральной инфраструктуры» биотехнологий. Сформулирована предварительная модель такой инфраструктуры, обеспечивающая развертывание феномена биокапитализма: биотехнологии создают локальные времена для биологических объектов; биотехнологический рынок открывает возможность склеек этих локальных времен с социальными. Через изучение этих процессов открываются возможности для использования концепции биокапитализма не только для внешней критики социальных последствий развития технологий, но и для участия экспертагуманитария в процессах конструирования их этически нагруженной «темпоральной инфраструктуры».

Статья представляет собой размышление над книгой В.В. Савчука «Кровь и культура». Задуманная в конце 80-х и впервые изданная в середине 90-х годов XX века, она получает новое – расширенное и дополненное – издание в преддверии 20-х годов XXI века. Ключевая причина рефлексии над книгой – показать невозможность ее ретроспективного прочтения. Новый контекст – медиареальность, ставшая нашим жизненным миром, – сформировала новый текст, который живет в режиме актуальности, отвечает на вопросы топологии боли в цифре, герменевтики дискурса жертвы в сети, латентной работы негативного опыта в сообщении, новых форм насилия в гаджетах. Если первое издание было опытом саморефлексии культуры – признание отчужденных форм, то второе издание – инструкция по ориентации в новой технологической реальности. Ведь чем более сложна конструкция нашей реальности, тем большую хрупкость может она проявить, тем более примитивные энергии высвободить. Отсюда ключевой сюжет статьи – механизмы приручения этой энергии как работа с психофизиологическим ресурсом человека в мире высоких технологий.
The Natural Complexes of Encounters
Authors: Berman Michael P. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2019

The totalizing and absolutizing tendencies of metaphysics can undermine our essential ethical relationality. Is there a metaphysics that is robust enough and conducive to preserving this intuition? In answer, this paper will draw upon Martin Buber and Justus Buchler. Buber’s seminal work, I and Thou (1923), explores the nature of the ethical encounter. Buchler’s Metaphysics of Natural Complexes (1966) develops a general ontology, which can be described as an ordinal metaphysics. Encounters are thoroughly relational for Buber. Buchler’s metaphysics is also thoroughly relational. A phenomenological approach to relationality establishes the medium for this dialogue and provides a common ground for these texts. Not only is there a way to account for Buber’s encounter, but there is also an inherent moral understanding in Buchler’s metaphysics that preserves and is conducive to ethical relationality. Buchler’s metaphysics avoids the totalizing and absolutizing tendencies derided by Buber, while simultaneously promotes a version of the encounter.
On Becoming Worthy of Victory
Authors: Lal Sanjay ,   The Society for Philosophy in the Contemporary World
Published: November 2019

While there has been no shortage of philosophical writings dealing with humanity’s great struggles (be they on issues of justice, war, the proper structure of the state, et al) there is a notable absence within academic philosophy in asserting a broad, overriding, and natural place for philosophical analysis regarding such issues—a role which can be crucial in making us better people (and thus capable of realizing a better world). In the first part of this paper, I will discuss the notable absence of certain character traits on the part of activists fighting for a better world that are essential for attaining the lofty goals protest movements aim for. I will then show that philosophy is uniquely suited for helping develop such traits (specifically when philosophy is seen as a practice). In the last part of this paper, I will discuss possible areas of philosophical exploration that would be particularly fruitful for making us better people. My intention is to ultimately help establish a unique and irreplaceable role academic philosophy can have in activist movements.
“That’s Just So-and-So Being So-and-So”
Authors: Lovering Rob ,   The Society for Philosophy in the Contemporary World
Published: November 2019

When it comes to explaining someone’s puzzling, objectionable, or otherwise problematic behavior, one type of explanation occasionally employed in the service of doing so is as follows: “That’s just so-and-so being so-and-so.” But what, exactly, do explanations of the type “That’s just so-and-so being so-and-so” mean? More specifically, in what way, if any, is it meaningful or informative to say such things? And what is the precise function of such explanations of someone’s behavior? Is it merely to present what one takes to be the underlying causes of the behavior, or something beyond that? In what follows, I lay out a few possibilities—basic possibilities, to be precise, given philosophy’s keen interest in fundamentals—with respect to the various meanings, functions, and moral implications of explanations of the type “That’s just so-and-so being so-and-so.” While doing so, I apply these basic possibilities to three tokens of this kind of explanation: “That’s just Manny being Manny” (in reference to Manny Ramirez, the former professional baseball player), “That’s just Charlie being Charlie” (in reference to Charlie Rose, the former television host), and “That’s just Trump being Trump” (in reference to Donald Trump, the current President of the United States).
Espacio íntimo de la pedagogía: relación educativa y su triple dimensión formativa como dinamismo de ciudadanía
Authors: Gijón Casares Mónica
Published: November 2019

En contextos de prostitución el espacio íntimo de la pedagogía constituye una forma de entrar en relación, construir un espacio común e impulsar a la emancipación. Cuando una mujer que ejerce la prostitución llega a una entidad socialnecesita una acogida cálida, pero su experiencia formativa está sujeta al clima de comprensión y reconocimiento que vive en el centro. La relación es un dinamismo de humanización y formación que muestra la necesaria interdependencia de la vida humana (Lévinas, 2000; Noddings, 2009). Sin embargo, en situaciones de exclusión, no nos referimos a ella como dinamismo formativo, más bien reducimos su dimensión educativa a los modos de acompañamiento que requieren una cierta distancia profesional. El trabajo que presentamos muestra que la relación es un dinamismo pedagógico nuclear que atraviesa y dota de sentido la cultura pedagógica de las entidades sociales. Una vía formativa que posee una triple dimensión de encuentro, alianza y emancipación visible en las formas de acogida y compromiso, en la voluntad de poner en valor a la mujer e impulsarla a un proceso de liberación individual y colectivo.

In contexts of prostitution, the intimate space of pedagogy is a way of engaging, building a common space and promoting emancipation. When a prostitute comes into contact with a social entity she needs a warm welcome, but her training experience is subject to the climate of understanding and recognition that she might find in the education centre. Relationships are humanising and training forms of dynamism that show the interdependence of human life (Lévinas, 2000; Noddings, 2009). However, in situations of exclusion, we substitute the educational dimension inherent in relationships with the modes of attachment and accompaniment typical of professional distance. The study we present shows that relationships contain a great pedagogical dynamism that crosses and fills with meaning the pedagogical culture of social entities. Relationships constitute a formative way that has a triple dimension: encounter,alliance and emancipation. This triple dimension is made visible in the forms of welcome and commitment, in the desire to value women and in the promotion of a process of individual and collective liberation.
El modelo español de dirección escolar y sus implicaciones en el desarrollo del liderazgo pedagógico en Andalucía. Un estudio cualitativo
Authors: Ritacco Real Maximiliano
Published: November 2019

El desarrollo de un liderazgo pedagógico de la dirección escolar es un factor clave para la mejora de los resultados de aprendizaje del alumnado. Para ello, los directivos escolares requieren de un grado de autonomía -real- en la gestión de “lo pedagógico” en sus centros. No obstante, en España, el ejercicio del liderazgo no implica el desarrollo pleno de su dimensión pedagógica. La complejidad y la inercia tradicionalista de la cultura escolar de los centros inciden de forma negativa en estas cuestiones. De corte cualitativo e interpretativo, el estudio ha indagado en las perspectivas y valoraciones de quince directores acerca del ejercicio de su liderazgo y de las posibilidades para desarrollar un liderazgo pedagógico. La aplicación de la técnica del análisis de contenido dio como resultado la consolidación de una serie de categorías emergentes que responden a una serie de capacidades del liderazgo pedagógico. De cara a la fase interpretativa, la organización emergente de sus sub-categorías y el establecimiento de un índice de frecuencia categorial (IFC), como ingrediente cuantitativo, permitieron completar el grado de comprensión y especificación de la información.

The development of pedagogical leadership in school managers is a key factor for the improvement of students’ learning results. To this end, school managers require a degree of real autonomy regarding the management of pedagogical aspects in their schools. However, in Spain, the exercise of leadership does not imply the full development of its pedagogical dimension. The complexity and the traditionalist inertia of school culture have a negativeimpact on these issues. Qualitative and interpretative, the present study has investigated the perspectives of fifteen school principals about their leadership and the possibilities to develop pedagogical leadership. The application of the technique of content analysis resulted in the consolidation of a series of emerging categories that respond to a series of pedagogical leadership capacities. With regard to the interpretative phase, the emergent organisation of its subcategories and the establishment of a categorical frequency index (CFI), as a quantitative ingredient, allowed us to complete the degree of comprehension and specification of the information.
La perspectiva post-cualitativa en la investigación educativa: genealogía, movimientos, posibilidades y tensiones
Authors: Hernández-Hernández Fernando , Revelles Benavente Beatriz
Published: November 2019

En este artículo se trata de situar una cierta genealogía de algunos de los movimientos que se vinculan en torno a la denominada perspectiva post-cualitativa en investigación. Estos movimientos han ido surgiendo como respuesta a los intentos, desde la década de los años 90 del pasado siglo, de positivizar, disciplinar y objetivar la investigación cualitativa bajo estándares y rúbricas que fijan los caminos a seguir tanto en la formación de investigadores como en la conceptualización y la práctica de la investigación. Esta tendencia, en el caso de Estados Unidos, que es donde está adquiriendo una mayor relevancia, queda reafirmada cuando en 2002 el NationalResearch Council publica un documento en el que se establece cómo ha de ser la investigación científica en educación: replicable, generalizable, empírica y preferentemente experimental. Decisión que forma parte de una gobernabilidad neoli beral que pretende establecer una visión unificada respecto a lo que ha de ser la realidad y el papel que la investigación ha de jugar en este propósito. Este movimiento, que se nutre de diferentes referentesy que se proyecta en varias direcciones cuestiona con argumentos la fundamentación onto-espistemológica-metodológica y ética que rige este intento normativizador, al tiempo que rehúye la explicitación de modos de hacer investigación que predetermine los sentidos abiertos e imprevisibles de todo proceso de indagación y plantea otras maneras de conceptualizar lo que un proceso de investigación puede llegar a ser.

This article aims to establish the genealogy of the strands that are linked to the so-called post-qualitative approach in research. These strands have emerged as a response to the attempts, since the 1990s, to positivize and objectify qualitative research by applying to it standards and rubrics which seek to define researcher training and the conceptualization and practice of research. This tendency, in the case of the United States where it is acquiring great relevance, is reaffirmed in 2002 when the National Research Council publishes a document that establishes how scientific research in education should be: replicable, generalizable, empirical and preferably experimental. This decision is part of a neoliberal form of governance that seeks to establish a unified vision of what reality should be and the role that research should have in this reality. The post-qualitative approach, which feeds on differentreferents and projects itself in various directions, questions the onto-espistemological-methodological and ethical foundations that drive this normative attempt, at the same time as it avoids ways of doing research that predetermine the open and unpredictable meanings to which processes of inquiry can lead. In doing so, this study proposes other ways of conceptualizing what a research process may become.
Un estudio fenomenológico: posicionamiento y gestos en clase
Authors: Maître de Pembroke Emmanuelle , Castelo Garrido Ana
Published: November 2019

Este artículo propone una visión de los gestos profesionales docentes a través de la clarificación de los conceptos de posicionamiento y de postura. La investigación presentada en este artículo se inscribe en una perspectiva situada y encarnada y reconsidera el anclaje fenomenológico de la teoría enactiva. Con esto en mente, se han realizado entrevistas a seis formadores que acompañan a jóvenes docentes. Una primera serie de entrevistas semi-directivas permite recoger las representaciones y los valores relativos a la noción de postura profesional. La segunda entrevista es una entrevista de explicitación que permite aclarar la experiencia vivida de consejo y, en particular, las micro-informaciones captadas. El propósito de estos trabajos es la toma de consciencia de gestos que pasan por debajo del umbral de percepción y del sentido que contienen.

This article analyzes the gestures made by teaching professionals and clarifies the concepts of positioning and posture. This study is framed within situated and embodied cognition theories and revisits the phenomenological anchoring of enactive theory. Interviews were conducted with six trainers accompanying early-career teachers. A first series of semi-directed interviews collected the representations and the values that these trainers had concerning the notion of professional posture. The second part of the interview asked trainers to assess their experiences, especially the micro-information received. The purpose of this piece of research is to raise awareness on gestures which are not easy to perceive and on the meaning they contain.
Percepción del alumnado universitario sobre las tutorías académicas: revisión de los factores relevantes
Authors: Gargallo Castel Ana Felicitas , Pérez-Sanz Francisco Javier , Esteban-Salvador Luisa
Published: November 2019

El enfoque de enseñanza-aprendizaje impulsado desde el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) incorpora una nueva forma de concebir la educación universitaria, donde el alumnado asume un papel principal en su aprendizaje. A su vez, implica una revalorización de la tarea docente y de la acción tutorial para reforzar el proceso formativo y el desarrollo integral de los alumnos y alumnas universitarios/as. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo conocer la opinión del alumnado acerca de los elementos relevantes en el uso de las tutorías académicas con el fin de identificar sus necesidades y mejorar la acción tutorial. En el diseño del estudio se adopta un enfoque descriptivo a partir de un cuestionario dirigido a estudiantes universitarios, que incluye preguntas relativas a su comportamiento y actitud personalante las tutorías, a la eficacia de las mismas, a su grado de utilización, y a la comunicación y relación establecida con el profesorado en dicho proceso. Los resultados, obtenidos a partir de una muestra de 322 estudiantes del campus de Teruel de la Universidad de Zaragoza, muestran cuatro aspectos relacionados con la autoconfianza del alumnado, la utilidad percibida, la motivación personal y el ahorro económico y/o de tiempo que supone el uso de las tutorías académicas. Si bien el grado de utilización de las mismas resulta moderado, es preciso destacar el valor que el alumnado otorga a la acción tutorial como estímulo para afrontar el trabajo requerido para superar la materia, así como para optimizar su tiempo de estudio.

The teaching-learning process promoted by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) calls for a new approach in which the student is the main actor of his/her learning. This implies an increase in the value of the teaching task, in general, and tutoring in particular. Tutoring reinforces the training process and the integral development of students. The main objective  of this study is to examine the opinion of university students about the use of academic tutoring in order to identify their needs and improve tutorial action. In the design of the study, the students were given a questionnaire to survey their personal attitudes and behavior toward tutorials, the extent to which they used tutorials and their effectiveness, and the level of communication and the relationship established with the teacher in the tutorials. The results, obtained from a sample of 322 students at the University of Zaragoza, Campus of Teruel, reveal four key points related to students’ self-confidence, perceived utility of the use of tutorials, personal motivation and financial and/or time cost (saving) that the students gain by attending tutorials. Although university students make only moderate use of tutorials, they emphasize the value of the tutorials as a stimulus to face the work required to pass a subject, as well as to optimize their study time.
Seeing (With, Through, and As) Monsters—An Introduction to the Special Issue
Authors: Beyer Christian , Bockwoldt Juliane C. , Hammar Emil Lundedal , Pötzsch Holger
Published: November 2019

We believe that the representation, construction, manufacture, and exclusion of monsters across genres and media is an increasingly pressing issue for individuals and civil societies on a global scale. The widespread use of exaggerated frames presenting a variety of others as mere threats has deadly consequences for many people—worldwide. And, ‘Western’ liberal democratic elites urgently need to acknowledge their own role in such processes as the current construction of ‘Monster Assad’ as a Hitler-esque tyrant intending to ‘gas his own people’ or the continuing framing of Iran as ‘a nuclear threat to world peace’ lead by ‘nuke-building, apocalyptic mullahs’ are equally irresponsible and dangerous acts as the presentation of ‘non-normative’ persons as a menace to cultural and societal stability or the assumption that certain people are simply born as terrorists. We believe that as researchers, students, employees, workers, pupils, retirees, and others—in sum: as citizens—, we must be aware of such discursive moves of othering and exclusion and learn to identify these, connect them to underlying interests, and then resist and subvert them to avoid more killings in our or others’ names. This is our responsibility especially as contemporary global crises intensify bringing with them the need for ever new scapegoats to explain away the real contradictions underlying these relentless challenges.
Yes, We Khan—Diversity and De-Monsterization of Muslim Identities in Ms. Marvel (2014–)
Authors: Andreassen Anja Borg
Published: November 2019

In 2014, Marvel comics introduced a new character to take over the mantle of the superhero identity Ms. Marvel. The new heroine is Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old girl born and raised in New Jersey. Khan is Marvel’s first Pakistani-American, Muslim superhero to headline her own comic book; as such, she represents a move towards diversification in a historically conservative, white and masculine genre. In addition, Kamala Khan comes into existence in a political and social context where the 9/11 attacks, the ‘War on Terror’, and Islamophobia continue to reverberate. This article explores how the Ms. Marvel comic functions as a critique of the ways in which social norms, stereotypes and prejudices have monsterized multicultural, Muslim identities, especially in the years following 9/11. Conducting analyses of Khan’s conflicted relationship to her own identities and issues concerning visibility and concealment, I explore how these negative framings affect her self-perception, and in turn her self-representation. Lastly, I aim to illustrate the ways in which the comic challenges monolithic and monstrous representations of Islam through its depiction of diverse, multicultural, Muslim identities.
Vampiric Remediation—The Vampire as a Self-Reflexive Technique in Dracula (1897), Nosferatu (1922) and Shadow of the Vampire (2000)
Authors: Lehner Alexander
Published: November 2019

This paper aims at describing the self-reflexive functions of the vampire through the lens of remediation. First, I will describe remediation as the central form of representation used in the novel Dracula (1897). Its epistolary form remediates various contemporary high-tech media that are compiled as typewritten pages: It uses a hypermedia strategy. Dracula, the creature, mirrors this technique, since he and his abilities are an amalgamation of the characteristics of contemporary media. Dracula tries to remediate itself (that is to rehabilitate) in the shifting media-landscape of the outgoing 19th century and self-reflexively addresses this through the vampire’s connection to media. Second, Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens (dir. Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, 1922) deviates from this hypermedia strategy and argues for film’s immediacy. However, it also self-consciously addresses its state as an adaptation of Dracula and clearly acknowledges its medium when vampirism is involved within the film itself. Nosferatu connects vampirism with cinema and its techniques and, consequently, presents its vampire, ‘Count Orlok’, as a personification of film instead of an amalgamation of different media. Shadow of the Vampire (dir. Edmund Elias Merhige, 2000), then, is a refashioning within the medium: it is Nosferatu’s fictional making-of. Here, the borders between cinema and vampirism and between medium and reality collapse, as Shadow of the Vampire not only borrows the style and story of Nosferatu, but also incorporates the history and the myths surrounding the production of this seminal vampire movie. Consequently, it argues for film’s failure as a medium of immediacy facing the new hypermedia-landscape of the beginning 21st century. These three iterations of the vampire and remediation demonstrate how the vampire has been functionalized as a self-reflexive technique to speak about the medium it is depicted in, be it on the brink of a changing media-landscape, at the beginning of movies as the medium of immediacy, or its existence as an established art form at the emerging digital age.

Published: November 2019

The workshop invites to a co-creative fine art session based on diffractive methodology, involving object handling, improvisation, and transformation. We come together without a detailed plan to create together and shed light on the processes involved, thereby “working with each other in our thinking practices” (Haraway 2016), keeping in mind the feminist idea of “living in difference together”. The session is an intertwinement of artistic practices, political activism and theoretical thinking, and builds on a concept developed within the Artful Dementia Research Lab.The session will last from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on decisions made by the group as we go along, and is followed by a conversation on connectivity, knowledge creation, tentacular thinking, power relations and relational aesthetics. The topics to be addressed derives from what we create together during the session.The workshop is arranged by the Artful Dementia Research Lab at the UiT’s Centre for Women’s and Gender Research, and part of the general program at the conference Kjønnsforskning NÅ!

Published: November 2019

Background

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different ergonomic supports on the muscle activity of two trunk muscles while a group of dentists performed a common dental procedure on a phantom head, divided into three tasks.

Methods

A one-way repeated measures study (ANOVA) was conducted on a group of 36 dentists. The middle trapezius and lumbar erector spinae muscles were measured with and without the use of different ergonomic supports (ergonomic stool, magnification lenses and both) using a portable surface electromyography (sEMG) device. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and the absolute standard error of measurement (SEM) were used to establish the reliability of the baseline measures without ergonomic supports.

Results

The sEMG showed excellent ICCs (ranging from 0.92 to 0.99) and SEM. Bonferroni post hoc tests showed differences between the three ergonomic supports (p< 0.001) in both muscles studied. The lowest muscle activity measurement occurred with the isolated used of magnification lenses. The use of the ergonomic stool increased the muscle activity of the middle trapezius and lumbar erector spinae muscles to a greater extent than the magnification lenses. The combination of the ergonomic stool and the magnification lenses produced a different effect on each muscle.
Mass Media as an Environmental Awareness Strategies and Attitude of Farmers towards Deforestation in Southern Cross River State, Nigeria

Published: November 2019

The main purpose of this study was to examine mass media as environmental awareness strategies and attitude of farmers towards deforestation in the rainforest zone of southern Cross River State, Nigeria. The hypothesis, which states that the use of mass media does not significantly influence the attitude of farmers towards deforestation in the rainforest zone of southern Cross River State, Nigeria, was formulated to guide the study. Ex-post facto research design was considered most suitable for the study.  The sample consists of 568 respondents randomly selected through the stratified and simple random sampling techniques.  A structured questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection.  The instrument was faced validated by three experts in Test and Measurement. The reliability estimate of 0.83 was established through the Cronbach alpha reliability method. Simple linear regression statistical tool was used for data analysis.  The result revealed that, there is a significant influence of mass media on attitude of farmers towards deforestation.  Based on this finding it was recommended among others that environmental educators and advocates should ensure that the mass media should be maximally utilized to continually create environmental awareness among the citizens in order to empower them to develop more positive attitude towards eradication of negative environmental practices and actions.
Mie‐Resonant Membrane Huygens' Metasurfaces

Published: November 2019

All‐dielectric metasurfaces have become a new paradigm for flat optics as they allow flexible engineering of the electromagnetic space of propagating waves. Such metasurfaces are usually composed of individual subwavelength elements embedded into a host medium or placed on a substrate, which often diminishes the quality of the resonances. The substrate imposes limitations on the metasurface functionalities, especially for infrared and terahertz frequencies. Here a novel concept of membrane Huygens' metasurfaces is introduced. The metasurfaces feature an inverted design, and they consist of arrays of holes made in a thin membrane of high‐index dielectric material, with the response governed by the electric and magnetic Mie resonances excited within dielectric domains of the membrane. Highly efficient transmission combined with the 2π phase coverage in the freestanding membranes is demonstrated. Several functional metadevices for wavefront control are designed, including beam deflector, a lens, and an axicon. Such membrane metasurfaces provide novel opportunities for efficient large‐area metadevices, whose advanced functionality is defined by structuring rather than by chemical composition.
Introducing pinMOS Memory: A Novel, Nonvolatile Organic Memory Device
Authors: Zheng Yichu , Fischer Axel , Sawatzki Michael , Doan Duy Hai , Liero Matthias , Glitzky Annegret , Reineke Sebastian , Mannsfeld Stefan C. B.
Published: November 2019

In recent decades, organic memory devices have been researched intensely and they can, among other application scenarios, play an important role in the vision of an internet of things. Most studies concentrate on storing charges in electronic traps or nanoparticles while memory types where the information is stored in the local charge up of an integrated capacitance and presented by capacitance received far less attention. Here, a new type of programmable organic capacitive memory called p‐i‐n‐metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (pinMOS) memory is demonstrated with the possibility to store multiple states. Another attractive property is that this simple, diode‐based pinMOS memory can be written as well as read electrically and optically. The pinMOS memory device shows excellent repeatability, an endurance of more than 104 write‐read‐erase‐read cycles, and currently already over 24 h retention time. The working mechanism of the pinMOS memory under dynamic and steady‐state operations is investigated to identify further optimization steps. The results reveal that the pinMOS memory principle is promising as a reliable capacitive memory device for future applications in electronic and photonic circuits like in neuromorphic computing or visual memory systems.
A Bidirectional Deep Neural Network for Accurate Silicon Color Design
Authors: Gao Li , Li Xiaozhong , Liu Dianjing , Wang Lianhui , Yu Zongfu
Published: November 2019

Silicon nanostructure color has achieved unprecedented high printing resolution and larger color gamut than sRGB. The exact color is determined by localized magnetic and electric dipole resonance of nanostructures, which are sensitive to their geometric changes. Usually, the design of specific colors and iterative optimization of geometric parameters are computationally costly, and obtaining millions of different structural colors is challenging. Here, a deep neural network is trained, which can accurately predict the color generated by random silicon nanostructures in the forward modeling process and solve the nonuniqueness problem in the inverse design process that can accurately output the device geometries for at least one million different colors. The key results suggest deep learning is a powerful tool to minimize the computation cost and maximize the design efficiency for nanophotonics, which can guide silicon color manufacturing with high accuracy.

Device model simulation is one of the primary tools for modeling thin film solar cells from organic materials to organic–inorganic perovskite materials. By directly connecting the current density–voltage (J–V) curves to the underlying device physics, it is helpful in revealing the working mechanism of the heatedly discussed organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells. Some distinctive optoelectronic features need more phenomenological models and accurate simulations. Herein, the application of the device model method in the simulation of organic and organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells is reviewed. To this end, the ways of the device model are elucidated by discussing the metal–insulator–metal picture and the equations describing the physics. Next, the simulations on J–V curves of organic solar cells are given in the presence of the space charge, interface, charge injection, traps, or exciton. In the perovskite section, the effects of trap states, direct band recombination, surface recombination, and ion migration on the device performance are systematically discussed from the perspective of the device model simulation. Suggestions for designing perovskite devices with better performance are also given.

Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a common prenatally‐detected brain anomaly. Recently, an association between mutations in the DCC Netrin 1 receptor (DCC) gene and ACC, with or without mirror movements, has been demonstrated. In this manuscript, we present a family with a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in DCC, review the available literature, and discuss the challenges involved in the genetic counseling for recently discovered disorders with paucity of medical information. We performed whole exome sequencing in a healthy nonconsanguineous couple that underwent two pregnancy terminations due to prenatal diagnosis of ACC. A heterozygous variant c.2774dupA (p.Asn925Lysfs*17) in the DCC gene was demonstrated in fetal and paternal DNA samples, as well as in a healthy 4‐year‐old offspring. When directly questioned, both father and child reported having mirror movements not affecting quality of life. Segregation analysis demonstrated the variant in three paternal siblings, two of them having mirror movements. Brain imaging revealed normal corpus callosum. Summary of literature data describing heterozygous loss‐of‐function variants in DCC (n = 61) revealed 63.9% penetrance for mirror movements, 9.8% for ACC, and 5% for both. No significant neurodevelopmental abnormalities were reported among the seven published patients with DCC loss‐of‐function variants and ACC. Prenatal diagnosis of ACC should prompt a specific anamnesis regarding any neurological disorder, as well as intentional physical examination of both parents aimed to detect mirror movements. In suspicious cases, detection of DCC pathogenic variants might markedly improve the predicted prognosis, alleviate the parental anxiety, and possibly prevent pregnancy termination.

We demonstrate controlled charge trapping and release, accompanied by multiple color changes in a metallo‐organic bilayer. The dual functionality of the metallo‐organic materials provides fundamental insight into the metal‐mediated electron transport pathways. The electrochemical processes are visualized by distinct, four color‐to‐color transitions: red, transparent, orange, and brown. The bilayer is composed of two elements: 1) a nanoscale gate consisting of a layer of well‐defined polypyridyl ruthenium complexes bound to a flexible transparent electrode, and 2) a charge storage layer consisting of isostructural iron complexes attached to the surface of the gate. This gate mediates or blocks electron transport in response to an applied voltage. The charge storage and release depend on the oxidation state of the layer of ruthenium complexes (=gate). Combining electrochemistry with optical data revealed mechanistic information: the brown coloration of the bilayer directly relates to the formation of intermediate ruthenium species, providing evidence for catalytic positive charge release mediated through the gate.

Site‐selective functionalization of C−H bonds in small complex molecules is a long‐standing challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report a broadly applicable and site‐selective aromatic C−H dibenzothiophenylation reaction. The conceptual advantage of this transformation is further demonstrated through the two‐step C−H [18F]fluorination of a series of marketed small‐molecule drugs.

Synthesized nanocomposite of protonated polyaniline with camphorsulfonic acid (PANI‐CSA) hosted in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and incorporated with nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) were coated as thin films on activated fused silica substrates using oxygen‐plasma and spin coating techniques. Weight percent ratios of 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 90% of NiNPs with respect to PANI‐CSA thin films have been studied in order to investigate the optical, structural, and morphological properties of (PANI‐CSA‐PMMA)/NiNPs by employing UV–Vis spectrometer, XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle (CA) goniometry, impedance analyzer, and thermogravimetric analysis. Deduced refractive indices (n) from UV–Vis data were in the range from 1.5 up to 2.2. SEM micrographs show the typical crystalline structure of PANI was vanishing gradually with increasing the NiNPs content. Optical properties such as refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), absorption coefficient (α) as well as the band‐gap energies (Eg) were mathematically deduced throughout the experimental transmittance and absorbance UV–Vis spectra. Calculated refractive indices (n) were in the range from 1.5 up to 2.2. Optical band‐gap energies decrease in a monoexponential decay for samples up to 60% NiNPs/PANI‐CSA, samples with 90% concentration had substantial drop in its value due to the NiNPs percolations. The incorporation with NiNPs leads to the development of a new morphological states (sheet‐like heterostructure) which start to be obvious at 30%, at this concentration the CA was maxima (54°), at this concentration and the crystallite size are maximum and the CA was maximum (highest hydrophobicity). © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The carbon fiber/(carbon nanotubes/polyetherimide)/poly ether ether ketone (CF/(CNTs/PEI)/PEEK) laminates are prepared by inserting carbon nanotubes/polyetherimide (CNTs/PEI) interleaves into interlaminar region. The mechanical properties and electrical conductivities of the developed laminates are evaluated. The results indicate that the interlaminar shear strength and flexural strength of CF/(CNTs/PEI)/PEEK laminates are increased by 42.9% and 24.7%, after inserting CNTs2.91/PEI interleaves, respectively. The cross‐sectional images of laminates after mechanical tests verify strong fiber‐resin adhesion by scanning electron microscope observation. The pertinent mechanism responsible for the improvement of mechanical properties is mechanical interlocking effect of CNTs. After incorporating CNTs/PEI interleaves, the electrical conductivity of laminates is markedly improved due to the formation of conductive pathway. This work suggests that this method is compatible with the preparation process of thermoplastic composites. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019, 137, 48658.

Inflammation acts as an alarming signal for the progression of various biological complications. Various reports in the literature have revealed that heterocycle‐containing synthetic compounds have a restorative capability against acute and chronic inflammatory stages. In the current study, we synthesized a series of 1,2,4‐triazole‐conjugated 1,3,4‐thiadiazole hybrid scaffolds and evaluated their impacts against carrageenan‐induced paw edema and proinflammatory markers in Wistar rats. Further, 3D QSAR study (three‐dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationships), ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) profiling, and docking studies were performed to determine the possible mechanism of the action of the derivatives. The study shows that the most active derivatives, 13f and 13g, have optimal logP, a higher anti‐inflammatory activity score, and poor metabolism at various sites of cytochrome P450. The docking studies recommended that the synthesized compounds have a similar affinity as the ligands A307, 63X, and S58 to interact with tumor necrosis factor‐α, COX‐1, and COX‐2. So, these molecules will definitely hold a promise for the future drug development initiative.
