Absorptive capacity is an important determinant of a routine-based firm performance. However, there is need to validate its impact on project-driven firm performance such as in construction companies. In this article, we conceptualize absorptive capacity and firm performance as third-order hierarchical constructs. Our model is tested based on the impact of absorptive capacity on firm performance by using survey data from a sample of 158 project managers in construction companies belonging to the Federation of Construction Industries (FOCI). Using the partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) approach for the hierarchical order constructs (HOC), the findings from the research corroborate most of the earlier studies as well as contrasting relationship between the realised absorptive capacity and financial performance (β = -0.029, t = 0.565). The study offers useful insight into the experiential relationship for our conceptualization and its influence on project-driven firm performance.

Authors: Le Thanh Thao , Pham Trut Thuy , Tran Thi Thuy
Published: March 2024

This qualitative study investigates the incorporation of Lesson Study, a pedagogical approach from Japan, into Vietnamese primary education, with a specific focus on the perspectives of Vietnamese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. These educators, though not directly involved in primary education, engage with it through various roles like teacher training and curriculum development. The research is based on in-depth interviews with nine EFL lecturers from two educational institutions in Vietnam. Employing thematic analysis, the study identifies five key themes: collaborative enhancement of teaching practices, navigating cultural and systemic challenges, improved understanding of student learning needs, professional growth and empowerment, and challenges such as resistance to change and time constraints. These themes underscore the potential of Lesson Study in fostering collaborative and reflective teaching practices, as well as professional development. However, they also highlight the obstacles imposed by traditional educational norms and practical limitations. The study emphasizes the necessity of support structures and resources for effective implementation of Lesson Study, advocating for adaptations to align with local educational contexts and cultural values. Contributing to the discourse on professional development in EFL teaching, this research underscores the importance of collaborative, reflective practices in educational innovation. Moreover, it stresses the significance of considering unique cultural and systemic elements in applying pedagogical methods like Lesson Study. Offering specific insights into its application in the Vietnamese primary education context, this study not only enhances understanding of cross-cultural educational transfer but also provides practical guidance for educators and policymakers. It paves the way for further research in diverse educational settings, expanding the international conversation on educational practices.

Authors: AYUBA Ali , DZEVER Donald Denen , FANI Djomo Choumbou Raoul , FRIMPONG Ebenezer , OBEKPA Hephzibah Onyeje
Published: March 2024

The study analysed the response of agricultural growth to foreign direct investment and public agricultural spending from 1980 to 2018. Data were collected from secondary sources and analysed using Johansen Co integration, Vector Error correction model and Monte Carlo Simulation. The result showed that foreign direct investment and public agricultural spending increased agricultural production in the long but decreased it in the short run. The study concluded that an increase in foreign direct investment and an increase in public agricultural spending (scenario 3) provided the best alternative for the sustainability of agricultural growth in Nigeria. It was recommended friendly business policies should be made to attract more foreign direct investment into the country and the issues of insecurity and infrastructures should be handled for meaningful and sustainable FDI to be attracted into Nigeria.Copyright© 2021 The Author(s).

A Note on Minimality in Dynare
Authors: SACCAL Alessandro
Published: March 2024

Since January 2014 this note and a manuscript entailing it have shown that the syntactic implication “Minimal linear time invariant state space representations if dynare” is false, with consequences on the vector autoregression representations of the states in the outputs. In 2020 the dynare team materially adopted the remedy of reducing its representations to minimal ones, as this note and the manuscript entailing it had been suggesting. The interested dynare user must still manually reduce the representation to minimality.
Azerbaijan’s Integration in the Belt and Road Initiative Middle Corridor. Is World Trade Organization Accession Needed?
Authors: NAHMADOVA Firuza
Published: March 2024

Azerbaijan’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been under discussion since the late 1990s, however this process is not any closer to being achieved today. Despite the government’s multiple economic reforms and the implementation of strategic roadmaps, the same cannot be said about Azerbaijan’s commitment to bilateral and multilateral market access negotiations (WTO 2017). The objective of this article is to investigate the potential impact of WTO accession on the economic strategy of Azerbaijan. Contrary to other WTO members, China does not automatically apply the Most-Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rate to non-members. The cost-benefit analysis in this paper suggests that the Azerbaijani goods with the highest untapped potential in China suffer from the application of the General Tariff Rate (GTR) versus the MFN tariff applied to all WTO members (China Customs 2021, International Trade Center 2021). Findings suggest that Azerbaijan’s WTO accession is required for this country to integrate into the Middle Corridor and reap its benefits fully.Copyright© 2021 The Author(s).

COVID-19 Vaccination Among Lactating Women: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Jamshidimanesh Mansoureh , Pouriyamehr Mariyam
Published: March 2024

Background: The pregnancy and lactation periods are special times when individuals are more susceptible to morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. Breastfeeding individuals like pregnant women are at a higher risk of experiencing symptoms and requiring hospitalization, including intensive care. Therefore, vaccination is considered the most effective approach to help pregnant and lactating women cope with COVID-19. Despite recommendations for COVID-19 vaccination, the coverage among lactating mothers has been insufficient. Objectives: This cross-sectional comparative study aimed to determine the chance of COVID-19 vaccination among lactating women with associated variables such as COVID-19 fear, breastfeeding self-efficacy, and some demographic characteristics. Methods: A total of 450 breastfeeding women were included in the study, divided into two groups: Those who received the COVID-19 vaccine (n = 225) and those who did not (n = 225). Individuals were 18-49 years old, had an infant aged under 6 months based on the birth card, a single pregnancy, a healthy newborn, and no contraindications to breastfeeding based on electronic health records. After receiving approval from the Ethics Committee of Iran University of Medical Sciences, the participants from health centers in Tehran, Iran, were selected using a multi-stage sampling method. Data were collected using demographic forms including mothers’, babies’, and husbands’ ages, mothers’ and husbands’ educational level and occupation, child number, household economic level, childbirth type, type of baby feeding, history of COVID-19 infection, COVID-19 questionnaires, and Dennis’ Breastfeeding Self-efficacy Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS16 software, employing statistical methods such as independent t-tests, chi-squared tests, and logistic regression. Results: Two groups of breastfeeding women (225 vaccinated) and (225 unvaccinated) were compared regarding demographic characteristics, fear of COVID-19, and self-efficacy in breastfeeding. There were no differences in mothers’ ages, educational levels, baby’s age, childbirth type, husbands’ occupation, household economic level, history of COVID-19 infection, and husband’s age between the two groups. The variables that had a significance level lower than 0.2 were entered into the logistic regression model. The findings from 450 breastfeeding women showed that husbands’ education level (crude odds ratio [OR] = 95% confidence interval (CI)]: 0.44 [0.19-0.76], P = 0.04), having more than 4 children (OR = 0.56, CI: 0.31-0.89, P = 0.04), and lower fear level of the COVID-19 (OR = 0.90, CI: 0.87-0.94, P

Authors: Zakerkish Mehrnoosh , Afshari Poorandokht , Abedi Parvin , Beheshtinasab Maryam , Maraghi Elham , Meghdadi Hossein
Published: March 2024

Background: There is a paucity of research investigating the changes in thyroid hormones in individuals affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of thyroid hormones in individuals affected by COVID-19 infection in Ahvaz, Iran. Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study on 78 patients with COVID-19 infection and 80 individuals without infection. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (TT3), and tetraiodothyronine (TT4) were measured in hospitalized patients at baseline and one month after recovery and in participants without infection. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test, the Chi-square test, the Wilcoxon test, and the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The level of TSH at baseline in the hospitalized patients was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.24 ± 1.08 vs. 2.05 ± 1.02 mlU/L, respectively, P < 0.0001). The mean level of TT3 was 1.20 ± 0.24 and 1.28 ± 1.25 ng/dL in the case and control groups, respectively (P = 0.188). The level of TT4 in the case group was high at baseline in comparison to the control group (8.48 ± 2.27 vs. 7.76 ± 1.43 ng/dL, P = 0.076), which was reduced in the follow-up period. Thirty-five (44.8%) patients had severe disease and were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The level of TSH was non-significantly lower in patients with severe disease than those with moderate disease. Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 infection showed abnormalities in thyroid hormones, such as decreased levels of TSH and TT3. Patients with severe COVID-19 showed lower levels of TSH and unchanged levels of TT3 and TT4 in comparison to the patients with moderate disease. Further investigation into thyroid function in patients with COVID-19 is recommended.
Role of Medical and Nursing Practitioners in Times of Pandemic: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Crisis and Future Prospects
Authors: Milionis Charalampos
Published: March 2024

Context: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic adversely affected the operation of health systems and services and dramatically increased the responsibilities of health professionals. Medical and nursing practitioners are an integral part of health care. They shouldered an important role in the fight against the novel coronavirus despite the potential risks. Evidence Acquisition: The present article applied a narrative approach to examine the nature and scope of the medical and nursing professions, especially during a pandemic or epidemic, and to describe the societal impact of the recent public health emergency. This study also analyzed the experience gained from the pandemic and how this could be used to ethically guide health services and clinicians through similar crises in the future. Results: The COVID-19 crisis revealed ethical dilemmas related to the retention of balance between the commitment to duty and the discretion to opt out. Health workers' obligation to treat derives from their professional role and is based on scientific, moral, and legal grounds. A pandemic mandates health staff to work at the limits of their competencies and entails the risk of infection with the pathogen, physical exhaustion, and emotional stress. The tremendous toll on society and health care due to the spread of a pathogen needs to be managed. The responsibility of clinicians to care for the sick is at the core of any successful response to a pandemic. Protective measures, safety training, sustainable working hours, and moral and fiscal compensation are essential prerequisites for the fulfillment of their tasks. Conclusions: Despite the reduced clinical severity associated with new variants, individual and collective fatigue among doctors and nurses continues to exist. The most recent epidemiological indicators show that the COVID-19 pandemic is still progressing but with a decelerating rhythm. In addition, preparation for a potentially catastrophic future pandemic is appropriate. Therefore, there is no time for complacency. All the involved parties need to ensure that health professionals uphold the mission of their profession.
Social-Demographic Predictors of Sexual Self-concept in Women on the Verge of Marriage: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bani Soheila , Nematzadeh Maryam , Mirghafourvand Mojgan , Hasanpour Shirin
Published: March 2024

Background: A satisfying and proper sexual relationship that meets the needs of both spouses plays a crucial role in the stability and longevity of the family. Sexual self-concept is one of the factors affecting women's sexual behavior and performance and can be changed throughout life. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the status of sexual self-concept and its socio-demographic predictors of women on the verge of marriage. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 130 women referring to premarital counseling centers in Tabriz, Iran. The data collection tool was the questionnaire of personal and social characteristics and Snell's Multidimensional Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire. Pearson's correlation test, one-way analysis of variance, and multivariate linear regression test were used in data analysis with SPSS software version 24. Results: The mean (standard deviation) of the positive sexual self-concept score was 117 (0.20) from the obtainable score of 0 - 176, and the mean (standard deviation) of the negative sexual self-concept score was 16 (0.7) from the obtainable score of 4 - 38. Additionally, the mean (standard deviation) of the sexual self-concept score was 44 (0.9) from the range of the obtainable score of 0 - 72. The results of multivariate analysis with multivariate linear regression test and control of confounding variables showed that the husband’s age, education, and mother's education were the predictors of positive sexual self-concept. Moreover, age, father's education, and duration of previous acquaintance were reported as predictors of negative sexual self-concept, and age was observed as a predictor of situational sexual self-concept. Conclusions: The study's findings indicated that age, education, parents' education, and the duration of acquaintance with the future spouse could predict sexual self-concept in women approaching marriage without sexual abuse. Given that sexual self-concept evolves well before any sexual activity, policymakers can enhance women's sexual self-concept through interventions, such as psychological counseling with a focus on sexual health. This, in turn, can improve their overall well-being, ultimately supporting stable family foundations and successful childbearing in the future.

Published: March 2024

Background: Correctly estimating the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is crucial for monitoring and managing these diseases effectively. Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of STI syndromes and evaluate the surveillance systems for STIs in Marvdasht. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 2018 involving a population-based random sample of 3 879 participants aged 18-50 in Marvdasht city. Genital ulcers and secretions in both genders were used as the primary outcomes to assess the completeness of the system and calculate the correction factor. A mathematical model was developed to estimate the correction factor for the prevalence of selected syndromes in each gender. The correction factor was determined by dividing the cases estimated through the mathematical model by the cases reported by the surveillance systems. Results: The estimated prevalence (with 95% confidence intervals [CI]) of urethral discharge in men and women, based on the model, was 25.32% (23.08 - 27.56) and 47.03% (39.93 - 54.13), respectively, and for genital ulcers, it was 5.16% (4.06 - 6.86) for men and 15.50% (9.5 - 21.5) for women. In both genders and for both syndromes, the reported prevalence by the care system (men: Discharge 0.09% [0.07 - 0.11], ulcer 0.04% [0.03 - 0.06]; women: Discharge 0.12% [0.1 - 0.15], ulcer 0.19% [0.16 - 0.22]) was severely underestimated. The highest and lowest underreporting correction ratios in the national STI monitoring system were observed for urethral discharge in men (124.5) and genital ulcers in women (7.26), respectively. Conclusions: The study revealed that the reported prevalence of STI syndromes in Iran is significantly underestimated compared to the actual prevalence in the population. Fundamental revisions are necessary to enhance the system's validity and completeness in detecting and reporting STIs.

Rudolf Carnap’s Ideas in Philosophy of Language in the Context of Conceptual Engineering
Authors: Griftsova Irina N. , Kozlova Natalya Yu. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

The past decade has seen notable development of conceptual engineering – a field of analytical philosophy that focuses on the critical evaluation of concepts. Most authors engaged with this area identify Rudolf Carnap’s ideas as its methodological framework and theoretical origin, placing particular emphasis on the philosopher’s method of explication. This article highlights the unquestionable influence Carnap’s thought had on conceptual engineering whilst by no means reducing it to the utilisation and advancement of explication within this field of analytical philosophy: indeed, conceptual engineering has incorporated – and brought to the forefront – much broader tenets of Carnap’s concept. This study draws on a series of the philosopher’s works, as well as his ‘Intellectual Autobiography’, to trace the evolution of his ideas about language and describe the fundamental elements revealing the ‘engineering perspective’ in his reflection. Most clearly, this perspective is evident in his interpretation of logic as a conceptual tool for acquiring and processing knowledge, ‘assembling’ it into a structure and refining the procedures of logic itself. It is shown that the origins of the engineering perspective trace back, on the one hand, to Carnap’s interest in the methodological framework of physics, particularly the measurement problem and its epistemological analysis, and, on the other, his fascination with interpretations of the nature of mathematical theory and the idea of unifying logicism and formalism by introducing the principle of tolerance, which adds a pragmatic dimension to methodology. The article examines in detail the idea of explication and its theoretical origins, which lie, in particular, in Carnap’s intention to exactify the notions expressing the degree of validity and probability. His idea of a link between the results of explication and its goal became the central principle of conceptual engineering, distinguishing it from mere conceptual analysis. It is concluded that, when considered together, Carnap’s two major ideas – explication and the principle of tolerance – can be placed in a broader context of a project seeking a rational reconstruction of the life of society and providing it with knowledge-based underpinnings.
Carl G. Hempel: Thought Experiments Between Methodological Monism and the Discovery/Justification Dichotomy
Authors: Buzzoni Marco ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

Hempel’s account of thought experiments has been discussed only by a very few authors and, for the most part, with rather cursory remarks. Its importance, however, is not only historical, but also systematic theoretical, because it involves the distinction between discovery and justification, a main pillar of neopositivistic philosophy of science. Hempel raised the question whether thought experiments constitute a methodological component of scientific research or, on the contrary, are merely a heuristic-psychological device for obtaining and/or transmitting new ideas. While conceding a few exceptions in the natural sciences, he argued that thought experiments always have a heuristic character in the social sciences. There is however a fundamental tension in Hempel’s conception of thought experiments, between the thesis of methodological monism and the neopositivistic dichotomy discovery/justification. On the one hand, on the basis of the unity of scientific method, Hempel admits a difference only in degree between the natural and the human sciences, but on the other hand, he draws a principled distinction between thought experiments of the human sciences (which have only a greater or lesser heuristic value) and those of the natural sciences (which may have also a cognitive-justificatory value). If one assumes the unity of method in the minimal sense in which no scientific knowledge can renounce intersubjective controllability, this tension can be removed either by rejecting the discovery/justification dichotomy or by interpreting it differently. Here, following the second path, two senses of the dichotomy are distinguished, one of which must be accepted, while the other rejected. This removes the internal tension in Hempel’s conception of thought experiments and suggests the thesis that any plausible thought experiment, both in the natural and the human sciences, must already contain some justification, implicit or explicit, of the theoretical hypotheses that they formulate.

A Two-Point-of-View Approach to the Vienna Circle
Authors: Ivakhnenko Eugene N. ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

The author proposes to consider the activities of the Vienna Circle from two different perspectives. One approach reveals the intellectual efforts of the Vienna logicians to bring the order of thought in line with the social and political „Ordnung“ in Austria in the 1930s. It also brings to light the clash between the “exact thinking” and M. Heidegger’s „Das Nichts“, as well as the “new order”, whose adherents sought support not in logic, but in the collective unconscious. The other perspective allows one to highlight the problem of ethics and a system of values, as shaped and solved differently by the language of logic, and by the great Austrian writers of the time.
Neurath’s Ship Metaphor
Authors: Zovko Jure , Renić Ivana ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: March 2024

In our paper, we explore the question of what is wrong with Neurath’s “plank-by-plank” method, which Quine later also adopted with enthusiasm. Shipbuilding experts will confirm that plank-byplank replacement is only possible in the dock and never on the open sea. This is simply empty talk, flatus vocis, often attributed to philosophers. The main problem with Neurath’s ship metaphor is that it is completely alien to the seafarers’ way of life, or even in stark contradiction to it. If it is the task of philosophy to bring order into the house of concepts, the use of metaphors should also be scrutinized. Any practical test of the plank-by-plank methodology would prove unsuccessful, for as soon as one would remove a plank from the ship, the ship would sink very quickly due to the onslaught of the water. If the philosophers argue for empiricist epistemology, as Neurath and Quine do, they should not use such utopian metaphors in which the practical life world is completely ignored. When philosophers argue for an empiricist epistemology, as Neurath and Quine do, they should be more careful in their use of metaphors that exclude empiricism, practice, and the practical world of life. It is rather a vivid example of abstract armchair philosophy to explain how science works. Finally, it remains a problem to elaborate a concept of epistemology by “philosophizing” abstractly about empiricism and empiricist epistemology without referring to concrete life experiences. Neurath’s boat metaphor, praised by Quine, is, unfortunately, an example of epistemology without reference to concrete forms of life, and it is still questionable whether we can achieve anything factually with such non-functional metaphors, let alone make the process of cognition scientifically plausible. The whole thing is reminiscent of the scholastic witty remark about how someone convincingly tries to talk about swimming without jumping into the water. Every sailor knows that a ship could only be serviced and repaired in a dock. Seafaring as a way of life, all the turbulence associated with this form of life, obviously remained unknown to Neurath, who spent most of his life in a continental, mountainous country, so it is fair to say that he used a very unusual metaphor not grounded in the practice of life, which, to make the paradox even greater, is meant to represent a naturalistic-empiricist concept of knowledge.

Team and Coach Gender: The Effect of the Expletive Halftime Speech
Authors: Ream Carrington , Jung Hoyoon , Paek Bomin
Published: March 2024

Although expletive use is considered taboo in most societies, expletives are commonly used in sports. However, the impact of expletives on coaching effectiveness has not received significant attention because of the unique nature of sports in which fierce competition is condoned and even encouraged.Inthe current study, the researchers aim to examine whether expletives alter the effectiveness of speeches given by coaches across genders. Collecting data from a total of 133 respondents, ANOVA demonstrated that expletive word use during halftime speeches by coaches did not play a role in diminishing the coaching effectiveness, regardless of the coach's gender and the players' gender. Additionally, male and female participants perceived expletive speech differently, and student-athletes rated the speeches as significantly more effective than the nonstudent-athletes. This study suggests practical implications for female coaches, who may consider stepping out of traditional expected roles (e.g., supportive and caring) and adopting language in coaching traditionally reserved for male coaches, given that their choice of language will not negatively impact their coaching effectiveness. However, further examination is needed for the robustness of our findings as the current study does not necessarily demonstrate an increase in effectiveness or a positive shift in perceptions from the use of expletives.
Beyond R0: Exploring New Approaches

El número básico de reproducción, en la modelización de enfermedades infecciosas es un valor fundamental para diseñar estrategias de control. Calcular el valor de R0 puede ser difícil en algunas situaciones debido a la complejidad del modelo. Esta complejidad a menudo obstaculiza el cálculo explícito de R0 y dificulta la comprensión de cómo diferentes poblaciones y parámetros influyen en su valor. Trabajos recientes han propuesto el número de reproducción objetivo como alternativa al R0 (Shuai et al., 2013). El número de reproducción objetivo muestra cómo, a través del análisis de algunos de los subsistemas que describen el comportamiento de una enfermedad infecciosa, es posible ejercer control sobre todo el sistema. El número de reproducción objetivo puede proporcionar un marco para la toma de decisiones en salud pública. En este trabajo lo aplicamos a dos modelos: un modelo con vacunación incompleta y un modelo para la leptospirosis. Los modelos presentados exhiben dos características fundamentales del número de reproducción objetivo. En primer lugar, la simplicidad de su expresión en comparación con el número de reproducción básico. En segundo lugar, su comportamiento análogo al R0 en 1.
Înțeles, sens și referință în filosofia limbajului și logica filosofică
Authors:   Romanian Academy, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: March 2024

Filosofia limbajului are legătură cu studiul modului în care limbajul nostru se implică și interacționează cu gândirea noastră. Studierea logicii și relația dintre logică și vorbirea obișnuită poate ajuta o persoană să își structureze mai bine propriile argumente și să critice argumentele celorlalți. Înțelesul este modul în care pot fi considerate în mod corespunzător cuvinte, simboluri, idei și convingeri, definiția sa depinzând de teoria abordată, precum teoria corespondenței, teoria coerenței, teoria constructivistă, teoria consensului sau teoria pragmatică. Există mai multe explicații distince despre ceea ce înseamnă un „sens” lingvistic, în funcție de diverse teorii (ideologice, adevăr-condiționale, de utilizare a limbajului, constructiviste, de referință, verificaționiste, pragmatice, etc.) Investigațiile privind modul în care limbajul interacționează cu lumea sunt numite teorii de referință. Sensul unei propoziții este gândul pe care îl exprimă. Un astfel de gând este abstract, universal și obiectiv. Sensurile determină referința și sunt, de asemenea, modurile de prezentare a obiectelor la care se referă expresiile. Referințele sunt obiectele din lume despre care vorbesc cuvintele. Filosofia limbajului explorează relația dintre limbă și realitate, în special filosofia problemelor de studiu lingvistic care nu pot fi abordate de alte domenii. Logica filozofică se ocupă de descrieri formale ale limbajului obișnuit, nespecializat („natural”).

One way of helping faculty understand the integral role of writing in their various disciplines is to present disciplines as ways of doing, which links ways of knowing and writing in the disciplines. Ways of doing identified by faculty are used to describe broader generic and disciplinary structures, metagenres, and metadisciplines.
Toward a Civic Rhetoric for Technologically and Scientifically Complex Places: Invention, Performance, and Participation
Authors: Simmons W. Michele , Grabill Jeffrey T.
Published: March 2024

The spaces in which public deliberation most often takes place are institutionally, technologically, and scientifically complex. In this article, we argue that in order to participate, citizens must be able to invent valued knowledge. This invention requires using complex information technologies to access, assemble, and analyze information in order to produce the professional and technical performances expected in contemporary civic forums. We argue for a civic rhetoric that expands to research the complicated nature of interface technologies, the inventional practices of citizens as they use these technologies, and the pedagogical approaches to encourage the type of collaborative and coordinated work these invention strategies require.
