MR Dampers: An Experimental Approach
Authors: Bakr Mohamed , Eldomuaty Ali , Mansour Tamer , Hammad Hossam , Dawood Mohamed M. , Nabil Tamer
Published: May 2021

Aim:

The aim of this work was the preparation of the model Magneto-Rheological (MR)
fluids to be used under the effect of an applied magnetic field operated under very low power requirement
for the purpose of vibration reduction in automotive damper.

Background:

Magneto-rheological fluids are non-Newtonian fluids, which consist of magnetic particles
scattered in a base liquid – a matter that can change its characteristics when applying the magnetic
field. From the previous researches, magneto-rheological fluids have different properties according
to the preparation accuracy, ingredients, particle size and shape, type of carrier fluids, and
stabilizer. Also, the response of magneto-rheological fluids to the magnetic flux varied.

Methods:

A specimen of MR fluid is prepared using four different dynamic viscosities base fluids.
Silicone oil JETTA (50 mpa.s, 100 mpa.s, 150 mpa.s, and 200 mpa.s) is mixed with high purity
spherical shape particles of Carbonyl Iron (CI). ABRO liquid white lithium grease is added to the
specimen, and its effect is determined.

Results:

The presence of additives has no effect on the magnetic behavior, but it increases the dynamic
viscosity, especially in the presence of the external magnetic field, which is considered as a
stabilizing factor.

Conclusion:

Adding the white lithium grease as a stabilizer delays the sedimentation of the prepared
sample by 1023%. The lowest sample in sedimentation rate has the highest viscosity, which satisfies
2.7% in 24 hours, but it shows a negative effect on the magneto-rheological properties, which leads
to unstable viscosity readings due to MR fluid agglutination. Working temperature is a critical parameter
that can affect the behavior of MR fluid; the viscosity of MR fluid under the effect of the
magnetic field is inversely proportional to the working temperature.

:

Sample DELTA is the most promising for the application in automotive dampers, which is used to
decrease vehicle vibration.

Authors: Hao Chang-Qi , Wang Shuai-Run , Wang Yi , Hou Xin-Yi , Jiang Ya-Xuan , Jiang Bo-Wen , Zhang Xiu-Li , Hua Xin , Xue Zhe-Yong
Published: May 2021

Background:

Hairy root culture has been widely used in the production of metabolites in
dicotyledons, and a large number of food crops and medicinal plants in monocotyledons need to be
developed. However, there are many difficulties in the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons.
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the inducing methods, influencing factors, and application
of hairy roots in monocotyledons, and to promote the development of hairy root system in monocotyledons.

Methods:

The mechanism of action of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and the current situation of hairy
root induction, induction methods and influencing factors of monocotyledons were summarized to
provide convenience for efficient acquisition of hairy root of monocotyledons.

Results:

Monocotyledons are not easy to produce phenols. Cells are prone to lignification, adverse
differentiation and selective response to Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. It is proposed that before
induction, plant varieties and explants should be selected, and different infection strains should be
screened. In the process of hairy root induction, exogenous inducers such as acetosyringone can be
added. Although these factors can provide some help for the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons,
we still need to pay attention to the disadvantages of monocotyledons from dicotyledons at the
cellular level.

Conclusion:

A large number of food crops and medicinal plants are monocotyledons. Hairy root
culture can be used to help the breeding and production of medicinal substances. Therefore, it is
necessary to pay attention to the selection of varieties and explants, the selection of Agrobacterium
rhizogenes and the addition of acetosyringone in the process of hairy root induction to improve the
production efficiency and facilitate the development and utilization of monocotyledons.

Induction Heater
Authors: Liu Bendong , Wang Long , Zhang Nailong , Liu Haibin , Li Desheng , Yang Jiahui
Published: May 2021

Background:

The thermal bubble-driven micro actuators have advantages of simple
structure and low working voltage, which have broad prospects in the field of micro-fluidic systems.

Methods:

This paper presents a new type of micro-planar induction heater which can realize the
fixed-point growth of thermal bubbles by adding some active cavities. The micro-planar induction
heater is composed of a metal heating plate, a glass substrate, and a planar coil.

Results:

In the experiments, an alternating current of 80 kHz was applied to the micro-planar induction
heater; both the heating time and the interruption time were 1 s controlled by a PLC. A
CCD camera was used to record the generation process of thermal bubbles, including nucleation,
growth, and shrinkage. The experimental results show that thermal bubbles can grow and contract
periodically at the position of the cavities when the cavities diameter is 50 μm and 90 μm,
respectively. The ideal thickness of the heating plate is between 6 μm and 13 μm.

Conclusion::

Here, the fixed-point growth of the thermal bubble with a micro-planar induction
heater has been studied. This kind of fixed-point growth of thermal bubbles can be used in micro
actuators, such as micro ejectors, micro mixers, and micro pumps.
Experimental Research on the Performance of High-Temperature Bearing Steel Cr4Mo4 V
Authors: Chu Zenan , He Qiang
Published: May 2021

Background::

Cr4Mo4 V steel is widely used in high-temperature bearings because of its excellent
high-temperature performance. Based on the research status of Cr4Mo4 V nationally and internationally,
this paper explores its mechanical properties and friction properties at high temperatures.

Objective::

To characterize the composition, microstructure, and properties of Cr4Mo4 V steel and explore
its tensile properties, hardness, and friction properties at high temperatures.

Methods:

Many methods are adopted, including chemical element analysis, metallographic analysis,
hardness test, tensile test, damping test, and friction test.

Results:

Cr4Mo4 V has a tempered martensite microstructure. The hardness and maximum tensile
strength of Cr4Mo4 V decrease with increasing temperature. The grain of the Cr4Mo4 V steel after heating
becomes refined, and the grain boundary increases. At room temperature, the surface friction coefficient
and wear rate of Cr4Mo4 V steel decrease. Moreover, a Cr4Mo4 V steel-ceramic ball shows the best
friction resistance. At high temperatures, the friction coefficient and wear of Cr4Mo4 V steel first decrease
with increasing temperature and then increase sharply at 200°C.

Conclusion:

With an increase in temperature, the hardness, breaking force, and tensile strength of
Cr4Mo4 V bearing steel decrease, whereas the friction property increases. By analyzing the threedimensional
morphology of different wear samples, the optimal working temperature of Cr4Mo4 V steel
bearing is determined as 200°C.
Theoretical Study of the Effect of Thermal Stress on Transversal Damage of Hybrid Biocomposite Materials Flax-hemp/Polyethylene
Authors: Mokaddem Allel , Doumi Bendouma , Belkheir Mohammed , Boutaous Ahmed , Temimi Elhouari
Published: May 2021

Background:

The objective of sustainable development in the field of materials necessitates
and demands the substitution of the basic constituents of a composite material (carbon,
glass, etc.) by natural reinforcements, which have a very important role in the protection of
the environment and to subsequently have new materials with good properties compared to socalled
traditional materials.

Objective:

In this context, we have investigated using genetic modeling based on probabilistic
models the effect of thermal stress on transversal damage of a bio-composite hybrid Flax-
Hemp/PE material.

Methods:

Our model genetic is based on probabilistic models of Weibull and the different values
of the thermal stress were calculated by the Lebrun equation. To validate our theoretical calculations,
we used the nonlinear parameter β in the Hoock law of the nonlinear acoustic technique
to trace the curves of the damage under the mechanical and thermal stress.

Results:

The results obtained with a genetic simulation are in good agreement with the results
found by Clément Gourier and Raphaël Kueny, who have shown that flax and hemp fibers
(bark/Liberian fibers) are good reinforcements of the Polyethylene matrix; we found also found
that our hybrid biocomposite material Flax-Hemp/PE is resistant in particular, a part of this material
is of plant origin and gives us environmental benefit.

Conclusion:

It should be noted that the results obtained by the genetic simulation are in good
agreement with the results obtained by the nonlinear acoustic technique mentioned by the green
curve in all the figures. In perspective, it would be interesting to see, later, the effect of humidity
on the damage of the matrix fiber interface of a hybrid biocomposite.
Коэффициеннты уширения и сдвига линий D-=SUB=-1-=/SUB=- и D-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=- атомов Rb неоном: разрешение сверхтонких компонент в полуволновой ячейке с применением техники двойного дифференцирования по частоте

Published: May 2021

Для измерения коэффициентов уширения и сдвига линий D1 и D2 атомов Rb неоном использована ячейка субмикронной толщины. Разрешение сверхтонких компонент достигнуто комбинацией двух приемов. Во-первых, толщина столба паров Rb в направлении распространения лазерного излучения выбиралось равной половине его длины волны λ в условиях резонанса с частотой атомного перехода. Для атомов рубидия λ/2~400 nm. При толщине наноячейки L~λ/2 в спектре пропускания A(ν) происходит сужение спектральных линий атомных переходов за счет исключения доплеровского уширения. Во-вторых, дальнейшее сужение регистрируемых сигналов достигалось путем двойного дифференцирования спектра пропускания A''(ν). Измерены спектры пропускания чистых паров рубидия и паров рубидия с добавкой неона при различных давлениях. Измеренные величины коэффициентов сдвига линий D1 и D2 рубидия в присутствии Ne составили -1.1±0.2 MHz/Torr и -2.1±0.2 MHz/Torr соответственно. Коэффициенты уширения линий D1 и D2 совпадают и составляют 10±1 MHz/Torr. Благодаря высокому спектральному разрешению методика позволяет проводить измерения для каждого индивидуального перехода в отдельности. Ключевые слова: рубидий, неон, щелочные металлы, благородные газы, уширение спектральных линий, наноячейка, бездоплеровская спектроскопия, столкновительное уширение, буферные газы.

Слои кремния, легированные селеном до концентраций 4-6· 1020 cm-3, что на 4 порядка величины превышает предел равновесной растворимости этой примеси, получены ионной имплантацией с последующим импульсным лазерным отжигом (ИЛО) при плотностях энергии в импульсе W=0.55, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 и 2.5 J/cm2. Методом обратного резерфордовского рассеяния ионов гелия показано, что до 60-70% внедренной примеси находится в позиции замещения в решетке кремния. Слои, гипердопированные селеном, проявляют существенное поглощение (36-40%) в области длин волн 1100-2400 nm. Проведено сравнение спектров поглощения слоев кремния в зависимости от режимов лазерного отжига. Показано, что отжиг при W=2.0 J/cm2 является оптимальным с позиции максимального структурного совершенства гипердопированных слоев кремния. Данный фактор очень важен для применений сформированных структур в фотодетекторах и элементах солнечной энергетики. В то же время поглощение в видимом и ближнем ИК диапазонах длин волн достигает максимального значения после отжига при W=1.0 J/cm2 и практически не меняется при дальнейшем увеличении плотности энергии в импульсе.

Assessing Sunscreen Protection Using UV Photography: Descriptive Study (Preprint)
Authors: Horsham Caitlin , Ford Helen , Herbert Jeremy , Wall Alexander , Walpole Sebastian , Hacker Elke
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Photography using a UV transmitting filter allows UV light to pass and can be used to illuminate UV blocking lotions such as sunscreens.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to compare currently available UV photography cameras and assess whether these devices can be used as visualization tools for adequate coverage of sun protection lotions.

METHODS

This study was conducted in 3 parts: in phase 1, 3 different UV cameras were tested; in phase 2, we explored whether UV photography could work on a range of sun protection products; and in phase 3, a UV webcam was developed and was field-tested in a beach setting. In phase 1, volunteers were recruited, and researchers applied 3 sun protection products (ranging from sun protection factor [SPF] 15 to 50+) to the participants’ faces and arms. UV photography was performed using 3 UV cameras, and the subsequent images were compared. In phase 2, volunteers were recruited and asked to apply their own SPF products to their faces in their usual manner. UV photographs were collected in the morning and afternoon to assess whether the coverage remained over time. Qualitative interviews were conducted to assess the participants’ level of satisfaction with the UV image. In phase 3, a small portable UV webcam was designed using a plug-and-play approach to enable the viewing of UV images on a larger screen. The developed webcam was deployed at a public beach setting for use by the public for 7 days.

RESULTS

The 3 UV camera systems tested during phase 1 identified the application of a range of sun protection lotions of SPF 15 to 50+. The sensitivity of the UV camera devices was shown to be adequate, with SPF-containing products applied at concentrations of 2 and 1 mg/cm2 clearly visible and SPF-containing products applied at a concentration of 0.4 mg/cm2 having lower levels of coverage. Participants in phase 2 reported high satisfaction with the UV photography images, with 83% (29/35) of participants likely to use UV photography in the future. During phase 2, it was noted that many participants used tinted SPF-containing cosmetics, and several tinted products were further tested. However, it was observed that UV photography could not identify the areas missed for all tinted products. During phase 3, the electrical components of the UV webcam remained operational, and the camera was used 233 times by the public during field-testing.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, we found that UV photography could identify the areas missed by sun protection lotions with chemical filters, and participants were engaged with personalized feedback.

Remote Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cognition in Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Proof-of-Concept Study (Preprint)
Authors: Eastman Jennifer A , Kaup Allison R , Bahorik Amber L , Butcher Xochitl , Attarha Mouna , Marcus Gregory M , Pletcher Mark J , Olgin Jeffrey E , Barnes Deborah E , Yaffe Kristine
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Adults with cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVRFs) are also at increased risk of developing cognitive decline and dementia. However, it is often difficult to study the relationships between CVRFs and cognitive function because cognitive assessment typically requires time-consuming in-person neuropsychological evaluations that may not be feasible for real-world situations.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a proof-of-concept study to determine if the association between CVRFs and cognitive function could be detected using web-based, self-administered cognitive tasks and CVRF assessment.

METHODS

We recruited 239 participants aged ≥50 years (mean age 62.7 years, SD 8.8; 42.7% [n=102] female, 88.7% [n=212] White) who were enrolled in the Health eHeart Study, a web-based platform focused on cardiac disease. The participants self-reported CVRFs (hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation) using web-based health surveys between August 2016 and July 2018. After an average of 3 years of follow-up, we remotely evaluated episodic memory, working memory, and executive function via the web-based Posit Science platform, BrainHQ. Raw data were normalized and averaged into 3 domain scores. We used linear regression models to examine the association between CVRFs and cognitive function.

RESULTS

CVRF prevalence was 62.8% (n=150) for high cholesterol, 45.2% (n=108) for hypertension, 10.9% (n=26) for atrial fibrillation, and 7.5% (n=18) for diabetes. In multivariable models, atrial fibrillation was associated with worse working memory (β=-.51, 95% CI -0.91 to -0.11) and worse episodic memory (β=-.31, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.04); hypertension was associated with worse episodic memory (β=-.27, 95% CI -0.44 to -0.11). Diabetes and high cholesterol were not associated with cognitive performance.

CONCLUSIONS

Self-administered web-based tools can be used to detect both CVRFs and cognitive health. We observed that atrial fibrillation and hypertension were associated with worse cognitive function even in those in their 60s and 70s. The potential of mobile assessments to detect risk factors for cognitive aging merits further investigation.
Beyond the Flowsheet: A Text Mining Study of Hospital-Acquired Falls (Preprint)
Authors: Bjarnadottir Ragnhildur , Lindberg David , Chakraborty Avirup , Prosperi Mattia , Crane Marsha , Green Jeanette Faith , Solberg Laurence , Wu Yonghui , Yang Xi , Lucero Robert James
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Around 1 million patients fall in US hospitals annually, with an associated direct medical cost of $50 billion dollars. Substantial nationwide efforts to reduce hospital falls in the past decade have yet to produce sustained results. This may in part be due to limited understanding of fall risk factors and overreliance on limited data.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of our study was to explore text patterns associated with patient falls in a previously understudied data source: registered nurses’ electronic health record progress notes.

METHODS

This study employed supervised and unsupervised text-mining methods using data from medical/surgical units in a large academic health center in North Florida between 2013 and 2015. The data corpus consisted of registered nurses’ progress notes for patient cases who fell during their hospitalization and patient controls who were at risk during the same period but did not fall.

RESULTS

The analytical sample comprised of 107,842 progress notes for 2,171 patients (734 fallers and 1,437 non-fallers who had registered nurses’ progress notes documented during their stay). Supervised text-mining with dictionary matching revealed significantly more frequent documentation of cognitive patient factors and environmental factors in fallers’ progress notes compared to non-fallers. Unsupervised text-mining through topic modelling highlighted text patterns indicative of workflow or communication factors. Predictive models for both supervised and unsupervised text-mining features were developed, with an F1 score ranging from 0.184-0.591.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings of this study indicate that registered nurses’ progress notes contain factors associated with risk of falling that may not be captured in structured data. These include environmental factors, cognitive patient factors, and factors related to documentation practices. The findings highlight previously under-examined risk factors for hospital-acquired falls and can be used for hypothesis generation for further clinical research to prevent falls and improve patient safety at the bedside.

The physiocochemical properties of Jatropha curcas kernel oils were characterized as potential biodiesel, including oil yield per plant, seed oil content, kernel oil content, acid value, iodine value, saponification value and cetane number. Twenty-five accessions of Jatropha curcas were used for oil content measurement sranging from 21.14 to 40.66 %with a mean value of 32.85% and Kernels oil 48.59 to 60.45 % with a mean value of 56.28 %. The seed index ranged significantly from a seed weight of 45.45 to 64.45 g. Oil yields per plant ranged from 0.44 to 2.85 kg with a mean value of 1.70 kg per plant, respectively. To understand the properties of acid value, iodine value, saponification and cetane number, experimental physio-chemical studies were performed. Since these properties are critical for determining the current oil condition. The current study confirms that accession seeds performed higher than international saponification value, iodine value and cetane number standards may be an important source for meeting potential energy requirements.
Pedagogical Talking Circles: Decolonizing Education through Relational Indigenous Frameworks
Authors: Barkaskas Patricia , Gladwin Derek
Published: May 2021

This article focuses on pedagogical talking circles as a practice of decolonizing and Indigenizing education. Based upon Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Calls to Action and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), non-Indigenous educators have a responsibility, while Indigenous educators have an opportunity, to transform normative colonial institutional knowledge structures and practices. Pedagogical talking circles are particularly useful in providing supported spaces for participants/students to engage in reciprocal and relational learning. The pedagogical theories outlined in this article utilize three main Indigenous methodological approaches: situated relatedness, respectful listening, and reflective witnessing. Based upon these underlying approaches, this article speaks to the necessity for decolonizing education (K-12 and post-secondary).

Authors: Sran Tejpal , Jindal S.K. , Chawla Neena
Published: May 2021

There is a need for identifying the specific environments for the selection
of adapted and stable genotypes for quality traits in chilli pepper. Among
these quality traits, pungency and coloring matter are the most important
ones, which need to be in stable amounts in final products. Hence, this
multi-environmental evaluation of chilli pepper genotypes was done in three
distinct environments, to identify the suitable environments for selection
and also suitable genotypes for specific quality traits. The study includes
43 chilli genotypes tested for three distinct growing conditions for nine
different quality traits at Punjab Agricultural University and data was
analyzed using Eberhart & Russell?s model and GGE Biplot analysis. The
environmental effect accounts for more than 35% variation for the capsaicin
in oleoresin and dry matter content. While the traits namely capsaicin
content in red powder (3%) and capsaicin in green chili (4.73%) were least
influenced by the environment. The contribution of G?E interactions was ?
25% for all the studied traits except ascorbic acid. The genotype AC 101 was
best for capsaicin content in green and red chilli powder across the
environments. The data generated from this study help to identify the stable
and superior genotypes for quality traits in early, main and late-season
planting.
SNHG7 has an oncogenic role in colorectal cancer via potential sponging of MIR-485-5P and MIR-193A-5P; in silico approach
Authors: Ziaee Farinaz , Hajjari Mohammadreza , Kazeminezhad Seyed , Behmanesh Mehrdad
Published: May 2021

SNHG7, as a member of the small nucleolar host gene family, is a recently
identified long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). Different reports have identified
the SNHGs as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) sponging miRNAs with a role
in cancer progression. However, the biological functions of SNHG7 in the
colorectal cancer (CRC) remained to be almost unknown. The current in silico
study was aimed to find the potential role of SNHG7 in the CRC development.
In this study, we showed the up-regulation of SNHG7 as well as its potential
correlation with miRNAs, including mir-193a-5p and mir-485-5P. We
hypothesized that SNHG7 modulates these miRNAs availability by acting as a
molecular sponge. Our findings showed the potential targets of these miRNAs
by studying different databases as well as in silico analyses. In summary,
we found SNHG7 as a potential ceRNA which may be a promising biomarker for
diagnostic and therapeutic target in CRC.

Published: May 2021

The study presents results of a three-year experiment of variability of
different potato varieties in Montenegro: early maturity varieties
(Riviera), medium early (Almera, Aladin and Bounty) and medium late (Agria,
Margarita, Kennebec and Desiree). The research was conducted during 2015,
2016 and 2017, in acid, brown soil and three different climatic locations:
Nedakusi (556 m a.s.l.), Sutivan (680 m a.s.l.) and Orahovica (900 m
a.s.l.). Field experiments were set up using standard methodology in random
block design in three repetitions. The analysis of variance suggest that
number of tubers per plant, mean tuber weight, yield of small tubers,
marketable and total yields were significantly fluctuating depending on
genotype (G), year (Y) and the location (L). In addition to individual
influences of different factors, their interactions were also pronounced (G
x Y, G x L, Y x L, G x Y x L). In the three-year period average, the highest
total yield was recorded in Nedakusi (31.41 t ha-1), followed by Sutivan
(21.35 t ha-1), while the lowest average yield (17.36 t ha-1) was recorded
in Orahovica. As expected, on the three-year average, the highest percentage
of dry matter was found in late varieties Agria - 25.46%, then Desiree -
25.33%, followed by Kennebec with 25.13%, while the lowest percentage of dry
matter was found in medium early variety Almera - 20.82%. The highest
average yield of tubers in the three-year period was recorded in the Aladin
variety, followed by Agria and Desiree, while the lowest average yield was
recorded in the variety Riviera. Obtained results show that the highest
yields over observed locations were recorded in medium early varieties that
formed high number of tubers per plant (Aladin) and medium late varieties
(Desiree and Agria) give satisfactory and stable yields.

Published: May 2021

Identification of stable sources for breeding for important agronomic traits
is prerequisite for providing a continuous and long-term progress in
breeding. In this study, thirty-one early-maturing genotypes from soybean
collection of Maize Research Institute ?Zemun Polje? were evaluated across
four environments (two years and two locations) according to randomized
complete block design with three replications. The aim of research was to
examine the value of the interaction of genotype and environment for three
important agronomic traits (seed yield, protein content and oil content)
using anadditive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI)
statistical model, and to identify stable sources for breeding for listed
traits. The results of the research indicated that all traits were strongly
influenced by environmental factors, while the influence of genotype and
particularly interaction of genotype and environment was of less importance.
AMMI analysis enabled identification of genotypes with above average value
and high stability for seed yield (three genotypes), protein content (three
genotypes) and oil content (two genotypes), which could be utilized as

Authors: Peng Xiaobang , Khayyatnezhad Majid , Ghezeljehmeidan Leila
Published: May 2021

Stellaria species are common herbs, preferred humid mountainously slopes, but
some grew in desert. Main center of diversification for Stellaria is
Eurasia, with a center of distribution in the mountains of central Asia.
Some species are also cosmopolitan. It is represented by 9 species in Iran.
The genus has high medicinal value. To determine the genetic diversity and
understand the species? limits within the Iranian Stellaria, we produced
molecular data using 139 randomly collected plants representing 8 species
from five provinces of Iran. A total of 122 reproducible bands were
generated by 10 of 25 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers, with
an average of 12.2 bands/primer and 33% polymorphism. Largest number of
effective alleles (Ne), genetic diversity (H), and Shannon Index (I) were
shown by S. media. Our data depicted highest similarity between S. media and
S. pallida and lowest between S. media and S. graminea. S. pallida showed
relatively low level of genetic variation. Finally, the Neighbor Joining
(NJ) trees based on RAPD markers data divided the populations into two
different clusters, indicating their genetic difference which is discussed
in details.
«Vi leker ikke teater!» Lærerfellesskapet i valgfaget produksjon for scene som profesjonelt kunnskapslandskap
Authors: Kolaas Solveig Salthammer
Published: May 2021

ThDenne artikkelen undersøker fire ungdomsskolelæreres arbeid i og med valgfaget produksjon for scene. Fokus er på hvordan læreres praksis og kompetanse samvirker og til sammen danner en kollektiv praksis i form av et profesjonelt kunnskapslandskap. Datamaterialet for artikkelen består av intervju med fire lærere og observasjoner av deres arbeid i en musikkteaterproduksjon i faget skoleåret 2017/2018. Artikkelen har et hermeneutisk vitenskapsteoretisk perspektiv og er informert av narrativ analyse. Hver av de fire lærernes praksis analyseres og presenteres gjennom fire narrativ. Narrativene settes videre i dialog med hverandre og fordypes gjennom Kemmis et al. (2014) sin teori om praksisarkitekturer. Oppdagelser i studien gir innsikt i hvordan lærernes individuelle praksis formes av den kunstfaglige ekspertisen de har med seg fra det profesjonelle og frivillige kunst- og kulturfeltet utenfor skolen, og hvordan disse praksisene videre skaper en kollektiv praksis der grunnforståelsen er fokus på profesjonalitet og kvalitet i det kunstfaglige arbeidet, og pedagogisk tenkning om fellesskap og mestring.
Introduction
Authors: Halland Ingrid
Published: May 2021

In Ung Uro: Unsettling Climates in Nordic Art, Architecture and Design, thirteen young writers, critics, and art historians examine how Nordic visual art, architecture, and design relate to the Anthropocene. The chapters in the book represent a new generation of scholarship in the field of visual studies, which holds that critique and analysis of artistic expression must have a different form and agency than before: less descriptive and impartial, according to objective parameters, and more speculative and insistent, in accordance with subjective experiences. By discussing the artwork Future Library: 2014–2114 by Katie Paterson, this introductory chapter presents key notions that run throughout the book: Arne Næss’ deep ecology, Donna Haraway’s ‘staying with the trouble’ and Giorgio Agamben’s notion of profanation. Further, chapter introduces how ethical criticality functions as a methodological underpinning for the authors’ interpretation and proposes the term deep relationalism as an analytical concept for describing a tendency in the Nordic arts in the latter part of the 2010s: an interest in processual works with an ethical value base directed towards destabilising human exceptionalism.
Bioacoustical Ethics: On Joakim Blattmann’s Treverk (9)
Authors: Trydal Lena
Published: May 2021

Based on the artwork Treverk (9) by Norwegian artist Joakim Blattmann, this chapter discusses whether it is possible to exhibit a tree in a gallery space and still respect the tree as having inherent value, in accordance with Arne Næss and George Sessions’ ‘Principles of Deep Ecology’. Aspects such as the artist’s intention, the origin of the materials and the installation of the final artwork are put into question and analysed from a deep ecological perspective. If the tree’s desire is to live, then chopping it up and presenting it as a human spectacle in a gallery space is not to respect its inherent value. Yet the chapter argues that Treverk (9) can still inspire ecological thinking by disturbing the anthropocentric world view and displaying a deep relationality between the artist and the tree.
Creative Fungus: On Fredrik Værslev’s Mildew Paintings
Authors: Gjermundsen Vera Maria
Published: May 2021

Fredrik Værslev’s Mildew Paintings cannot be defined as paintings in the conventional sense. They are the result of mildew growth developing over the course of a year on canvases stored inside humid plastic tubes. As such, their exact nature eludes us, not being straight-forward painterly objects, nor simple pieces of fungus-eaten material. This chapter aims to define the Mildew Paintings’ hybrid identity through the theories of interspecies entanglements of anthropologist Anna Tsing and Gilles Clément’s approach to what he refers to as the third landscape in urban gardening. The paintings are regarded as the result of a new-found collaboration between human and non-human processes, pushing the artist into the background while introducing other creative entities, leaving us to question our hegemonic role as this world’s sole active designers.
Norwegian Plastic Wood: On Marianne Heske’s Gjerdeløa
Authors: Steien Sigrid Stenerud
Published: May 2021

When artist Marianne Heske re-presented the iconic artwork Gjerdeløa (1980) in an art gallery in 2014, the traditional wooden hut was coupled by a new companion made out of white resin. Project Gjerdeløa, that originally emphasised the ephemeral event of artistic intervention, became in the 2014 installation concrete and made visible within the artwork itself, underlining the receptive change of the object when represented in a different material. This chapter emphasises the break that the new installation of Gjerdeløa represents, and how this change may be read as a commentary on how modern lifestyle today has disconnected with—and is now placed outside of—life cycles in nature.
Behaviors of Yahisuli’s Parents in Early Childhood Immunization in 2018
Authors: Ependja Antoine Towaka , Baelo Vif Foyo , Baombolia Zenon Lokangu
Published: May 2021

This descriptive cross-sectional study aims to determine factors associated with Yahisuli's parents' behaviors in early childhood immunization in 2018. To collect data, we used a questionnaire administered to a non-probability convenience sample of 96 parents of children 0-11 months of age. Descriptive analysis allowed us to compare our results with previous work. We recorded an average age of 32.8 years and a male/female sex ratio of 1.3. More than 95% of the parents went to school, of which 58.5% have a high school education. The birth rank of the last child ranged from 3 to 5 with a sex ratio of 1.3 in favor of males. Nearly 15% of children have not been fully vaccinated. In this work, 55 out of 96 parents bring their children to a health facility to be vaccinated to ensure their protection (76.4%) and prevention against infectious diseases (47.3%). On the other hand, 42% do not adhere to vaccination because of ignorance, fear due to children's incessant crying after vaccination, adverse post-immunization events. When it came to vaccines, several misunderstandings were raised. These corroborate rumors observed under other skies. Thus, a descriptive and analytical study on the epidemiological surveillance of adverse effects of vaccines is indispensable in the province of Tshopo.
Bodies Translating Bodies
Authors: Mattozzi Alvise , Parolin Laura Lucia
Published: May 2021

STS and 'aesthetic studies' share an interest in artifacts and the aim to describe and analyse both artifacts and their agency. The present article contributes to such dialogue, first by reconstructing the relation between Actor-Network Theory and 'aesthetic studies' and then by proposing an analytical model enabling the description of 'aesthetic practices', by considering artifacts as bodies. Such model draws on Latour’s (2004) reflection about bodies, on Ingold’s (2007) one about materials and especially on Fontanille’s (2004) semiotics of the body. To illustrate the relevance of the model, the article offers a description-analysis of the development of a prototype of an electronic circuit designed for a data glove.
Interdisciplinary Projects as an Expert-Network
Authors: Stephens Neil , Stephens Phil
Published: May 2021

We report an analysis of how an interdisciplinary project bringing together biologists, physicists and engineers worked in practice. The authorship team are the Principle Investigator who led the project, and a social scientist who studied the project as it was conducted by interviewing participants and observing practice. We argue it is accurate and productive to think of the interdisciplinary team as an Expert-Network, which means it was a managed set of relationships between disciplinary groups punctuated by specific junctions at which interdisciplinary exchange of materials, knowledge, and in limited cases, practices, occurred. We stress the role of trust in knowledge exchange, and document how hard sharing knowledge – and especially tacit knowledge - between disciplines can be. Key is the flexible management of the network, as the membership and required skill set change. Our analysis is embedded within, and contributes to, the Sociology of Experience and Expertise (SEE) framework. We close by suggesting advice for others seeking to manage a similar interdisciplinary Expert-Network.
Complexity Sciences
Authors: Li Vigni Fabrizio
Published: May 2021

Social scientists have proposed several concepts to give account of the way scientific life organizes. By studying “complexity sciences” – established in the mid-1980s by the “Santa Fe Institute” in New Mexico (USA) –, the present article addresses to interdisciplinary studies and emergent domains literature by proposing a new concept to describe this domain. Drawing from Bourdieusian sociology of science and STS, a “scientific platform” is defined as a meeting point between different specialties, which, on the basis of a flexible common ground, pursue together shared or parallel socio-epistemic objectives. Most of the specialties inscribed in complexity suffer from a relative marginality in their disciplinary field. The term “platform” refers to what the heterogeneous members of the collective mutualize, both in cognitive and social terms, in order to exist and expand.
Ecología cultural: Metamorfosis de un concepto holometábolo
Authors: Granados Campos Luis Roberto
Published: May 2021

Desde una óptica crítica de los postulados centrales de la ecología cultural, apunto que la forma en que extendemos nuestra mano hacia la naturaleza esta determinada por las relaciones sociales, elemento constitutivo y cohesionador de lo social humano: la sociedad y su cultura. De este modo he perfilado una categoría de análisis socioecológico que permite comprender la operación del conjunto sociedad-naturaleza.

Localidad, modernidad y performance misional en la migración de religiosos católicos a la Argentina a comienzos del siglo XX
Authors: Ludueña Gustavo Andrés
Published: May 2021

Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del siglo XX, una significativa cantidad de congregaciones y órdenes religiosas católicas se asentaron en distintos puntos de América Latina. Caracterizada por el encuentro con un otro cultural emergente de una situación singular de desplazamiento geográfico, el despliegue de una estudiada performance misional permitió la edificación de localidades evangelizadas y evangelizadoras destinadas a la construcción de una nueva catolicidad romanizada en el espacio latinoamericano.

La nueva defensa de Mezcala: un proceso de recomunalización a través de la renovación étnica
Authors: Bastos Santiago
Published: May 2021

El conflicto en que está inmersa Mezcala por las amenazas a su tierra comunitaria es el marco de una renovación de la idea misma de comunidad y de los contenidos de la identidad étnica. Ante el derrumbe del sistema posrevolucionario que dio cobijo a la territorialidad de Mezcala desde la legislación agraria, las nuevas propuestas asociadas a la idea de pueblos indígenas –en este caso el pueblo coca– están sirviendo para renovar los derechos territoriales y de autogobierno, pero también los contenidos del ser indígena y de la vida comunitaria.

Don Ricardo Muñoz Carbonero en el tribunal para represión de la masonería y del comunismo (TERMC): escritura, poder y memoria
Authors: Cantalício Serpa Élio
Published: May 2021

Ese artículo trata de las relaciones entre la masonería y el gobierno de Franco Bahamonde plasmadas a través del Tribunal de Represión de la Masonería y del Comunismo (TERMC). Tras haber analizado sumarios desde 1939 hasta 1945, opté por adentrarme en la circunstancia del proceso contra el médico don Ricardo Muñoz Carbonero, residente en Valencia. Ello me permitió comprender la estructura que se le dio al documento y las formas con las que el poder autoritario enredó al acusado, y me permitió también comprender la lucha de él ante la delación y ante los imperativos autoritarios a los que estaba sometido. Estos imperativos obligaban al acusado, bajo la presión del poder instituido, a profundizar en su memoria, en tal circunstancia especialmente fragmentaria y selectiva; la especificidad de esa rememoración radica en que la evocación era burocráticamente dirigida a partir de técnicas de recogida de testimonios que, en el contexto, estuvieron siempre condicionados por el miedo y por la coerción. Así, esa memoria captada y registrada en los procesos resulta marcada por la práctica de la selección cuidadosa que efectuó el acusado y por los límites impuestos a éste por el inquiridor en el momento de la declaración.
