Persistenza, precarietà e metamorfosi nella scrittura di Nelida Milani
Authors: Rusi Michela
Published: May 2020

In the writing of Nelida Milani different linguistic registers coexist: the Istro-Venetian dialect, the cultured citations, the Croatian. The outcome is that of an expressive vitality sometimes characterised by rhythmic cadences close to the prose of art and it expresses the potential of the Italian language on which Milani also reflects in her theoretical contributions. This paper intends to highlight how it is precisely the capacity to welcome ‘the other’ to find a writing capable of indicating new expressive paths to the language of Italian fiction.
Per una «poetica della totalità-mondo»
Authors: Camilotti Silvia
Published: May 2020

“I speak and above all write in the presence of all the languages of the world”, is a quote from Poétique du divers by Édouard Glissant, not as a means to plurilingualism but rather a critical view of the concept of language as being closed and homogeneous, by intertwining poetry and politics in order to deconstruct the language-culture-territory triad. Glissant’s poetics of totalité-monde highlights the open and inclusive interplay between places and literary works, aimed at demonstrating the value of all the composite contributions which come together to form cultures. There are already many literary examples in Italian language written inside and outside Italy which demonstrate a failed or at least weakened correspondence between notions seen often as essential, unchanging and a-historic. The example of Luigi Di Ruscio is particularly apt here, as he was a poet and writer who had lived in Oslo for forty years, and had kept writing and publishing in Italian.
“The Limits of My Language Mean the Limits of My World”: Translated Migrations in Xiaolu Guo’s Novels
Authors: Codeluppi Martina
Published: May 2020

In the case of migrant writers, the representation of the female body can be considered the most intimate expression of individuality, as well as an expression of the dislocation that often transpires from their stories. In the context of contemporary Chinese literature, which has now become transnational, Xiaolu Guo is a representative example of féminité migrante. Raised in China, she emigrated to the UK as an adult, and relies mainly on the English language to codify her literary creativity. This study focuses on the analysis of the relationship between space and language, and between body and translation. It will explore two novels by Xiaolu Guo through a linguistic/comparative approach and a spatial analysis of the literary text.

In Latin America, in particular in the last years, literature is actively involved: in Mexico in the denunciation of migration drama in the U.S.-Mexico border and in Argentina in the denunciation of woman discrimination and femicide, which is so widespread in the continent, and in the subordinate subjects’ life, living at the margins of society.
Después de la caída del ‘ángel’
Authors: Favaro Alice
Published: May 2020

Ángel Bonomini was born in Buenos Aires in 1929 where he lived until his death at the age of sixty-four in 1994. He worked for various newspapers and magazines as an art critic and translator, but always maintaining his literary activity. He inherited the tradition of the Argentine fantastic and was a prolific writer: his production includes essays, poems and fantastic tales.Although he lived in a period of great cultural splendor and his literary talent was recognised by authors such as Borges and Bioy Casares, he fell into an unexplained oblivion, disappearing quite early from the contemporary intellectual environment. His first poems, which date back to the 1950s, were published in Sur magazine and some of his tales were included in well-known anthologies of fantastic literature.Among his collections of poems there are: Primera enunciación (1947), Argumento del enamorado. Baladas con Ángel (1952) written with María Elena Walsh, Torres para el silencio (1982) and Poética (1994). In 1972 he achieved great success with the publication of his first collection of fantastic tales, Los novicios de Lerna, followed by the publication of other books: Libro de los casos (1975), Los lentos elefantes de Milán (1978), Cuentos de amor (1982), Historias secretas (1985) and Más allá del puente (1996), posthumously published.A particular use of the fantastic characterises his work and distinguishes him from his contemporary authors. In his tales there is a continuous contrast between metaphysics and existentialism; in this way, he makes a deep investigation of the reality and, at the same time, he tries to go beyond it.This volume aims to analyse some emblematic tales by Bonomini in which it is possible to find the main topoi of Argentine fantastic and to understand why the author’s literary work is worth studying.

El currículum oculto de género en materiales educativos de preescolar. ¿Instruir o empoderar a las niñas?
Authors: Magaña| Héctor , Guevara Ruiseñor Elsa S. , Flores Cruz María Guadalupe
Published: May 2020

Diversas instituciones educativas de nuestro país han reconocido la importancia de
incorporar un enfoque de género a sus programas de preescolar con el fin de
eliminar prácticas y formas de relación que colocan en desventaja a las niñas. Sin
embargo, no sabemos en qué medida ello se ha traducido en una propuesta
institucional que se haga patente en los materiales educativos que la Secretaría de
Educación Pública propone para sus cursos, y en especial, en qué medida ha
logrado superar sesgos de género que se reproducen de manera sutil en el
currículum oculto. Esta investigación se propuso como objetivo identificar ese
currículum oculto de género en algunos materiales educativos propuestos por la
SEP para los cursos de preescolar 2018-2019 e identificar si ello contribuye al
empoderamiento de las niñas. Por lo anterior, se realizó un análisis de contenido
del lenguaje escrito y las imágenes contenidas en dos libros y 33 láminas didácticas
dirigidas a las/os niñas/os, así como un libro dirigido a las educadoras, mediante
ocho categorías de análisis. Los resultados mostraron sesgos de género en siete
de estas categorías, entre los más destacados podemos señalar: mayor número de
imágenes de varones; mayor presencia de niñas y mujeres en tareas de cuidado;
lenguaje androcéntrico; y sólo varones como personajes prominentes de la historia
y el arte. Estos resultados hacen evidente la necesidad de introducir modificaciones
a estos materiales a fin de eliminar tales sesgos que colocan en clave androcéntrica
la educación que reciben niñas y niños y contribuye a que las niñas interioricen la
desigualdad mediante identidades que las desdibujan como sujetos epistémicos.
The Causes and Consequences of COVID-19 Misperceptions: Understanding the Role of News and Social Media
Authors: Bridgman Aengus , Merkley Eric , Loewen Peter John , Owen Taylor , Ruths Derek , Teichmann Lisa , Zhilin Oleg
Published: May 2020

We investigate the relationship between media consumption, misinformation, and important attitudes and behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. We find that comparatively more misinformation circulates on social media platforms, while traditional news media tend to reinforce public health recommendations like social distancing. We find that exposure to social media is associated with misperceptions about COVID-19 while the inverse is true for news media. These misperceptions are in turn associated with lower compliance with social distancing measures. We thus draw a link from misinformation on social media to behaviours and attitudes that potentially magnify the scale and lethality of COVID-19.

Striving for Success but at What Cost? Subject-Specific Achievement Goal Orientation Profiles, Perceived Cost, and Academic Well-Being
Authors: Tuominen Heta , Juntunen Henriikka , Niemivirta Markku
Published: May 2020

Most studies utilizing a person-oriented approach to investigating students’ achievement goal orientation profiles have been domain-general or focused on a single domain (usually mathematics), thus excluding the possibility of identifying distinct subject-specific motivational profiles. In this study, we looked into this by examining upper secondary school students’ subject-specific achievement goal orientation profiles simultaneously in mathematics and English. As distinct profiles might contribute to how students invest time and effort in studying, we also examined differences in perceived subject-specific cost (i.e., effort required, emotional cost, opportunity cost) among students with different profiles, and how this was linked with students’ more general academic well-being (i.e., school engagement, burnout). The 434 Finnish general upper secondary school students participating in the study were classified based on their achievement goal orientations in the two subjects using latent profile analysis, and the predictions of the latent profile on distal outcomes (i.e., measures of cost and academic well-being) were examined within the mixture model. Five divergent achievement goal orientation profiles were identified: indifferent (29%), success-oriented (26%), mastery-oriented (25%), English-oriented, math-avoidant (14%), and avoidance-oriented (6%). The English-oriented, math-avoidant students showed the most distinct domain-specificity in their profile but, in general, profiles indicated more cross-domain generality than specificity. Overall, mastery-oriented students showed the most adaptive academic well-being, while avoidance-oriented students were the least engaged. Success-oriented students were characterised by high multiple goals in both subjects, elevated costs, and high scores on both positive (engagement) and negative (burnout) well-being indicators. The English-oriented, math-avoidant students perceived studying math as costly. The findings suggest that addressing students’ achievement motivation in different subjects may be useful for recognising factors endangering or fostering student learning and well-being.
MORAL OUTRAGE AND SOCIAL DISTANCING: BAD OR BADLY INFORMED CITIZENS?
Authors: De Neys Wim , Raoelison Matthieu , Boissin Esther , Voudouri Aikaterini , Bago Bence , Bialek Michal
Published: May 2020

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic citizens around the globe were urged to practice social distancing. Although many complied, not everyone did. These violations led to sharp moral outrage about the alleged immoral behavior. However, it is an open question whether violators fully realized the severity of the virus threat. We therefore surveyed (n = 1657) to what extent people condemned social distancing rules violations, to what extent they respected these rules, and how likely they felt that not respecting the rules would get them and others infected. Results indicated that people who respect social distancing less and find these violations more permissible also believe that the virus is less likely to infect them or others. This implies that violators do not necessarily care less about others; they simply see the virus as less threatening. Therefore, caution is needed when attributing social distancing violations to a lack of moral character.
Curious inferences: Reply to Sun & Firestone on the Dark Room Problem

This short letter is a response to a recent Forum article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, by Sun and Firestone, which reprises the so-called 'Dark Room Problem' as a challenge to the explanatory value of predictive processing and free-energy-minimisation frameworks for cognitive science. Among many possible responses to Sun and Firestone, we explain how minimisatin of prediction error in the long term (expected free energy) naturally prescribes the sort of epistemic, curious actions that lead to escaping from dark rooms.
Beatings, Burnings, and Bombings: Disaggregating Ethnic Violence in Egypt, 2013-2018
Authors: Barrie Christopher , Clarke Killian , Ketchley Neil
Published: May 2020

What are the drivers of ethnic violence? Existing research posits an array of explanations: from economic strain to political mobilization and state capacity. This diversity of accounts is attributable to scholars’ tendency to lump together different forms of ethnic violence. Analyzing anti-Christian violence in Egypt, we identify three types of event – beatings, burnings, and bombings. This typology distinguishes between the target of the attack and the level of violence. Beatings (unarmed attacks targeting individuals) are more likely where Christians are numerous, during economic downturns, and are patterned by religious calendars. Burnings (unarmed attacks targeting property) follow a political logic, occurring where Islamists are mobilizing, and following crackdowns. Beatings and burnings are more prevalent where the state’s coercive capacity is diminished. Bombings (armed attacks) follow a strategic logic and are patterned by previous violence and Muslim religious holidays. Disaggregation, we suggest, can reconcile competing findings in the ethnic violence literature.

Knowledge and Practice of Infection Control in Impression Making among the Dental Health Care Professionals
Authors: Shrestha Suraksha , Thakur Smriti Narayan , Dulal Najma
Published: May 2020

Background: Infection control is an imperative issue in the dental practice. Almost all of the dental procedures involve dealing with the saliva, blood and oral fluids which may have sufficient pathogens and cause cross infection through contaminated instruments, materials and surfaces. Therefore the dental health care workers must be aware of the possible contamination and should follow the measures to prevent it. The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge of dental health care professionals regarding infection control and modes of infection control employed by them during one of the dental procedure i.e. impression making. Methods: A self-assessment questionnaire based survey was carried out among dental health care professionals to assess the knowledge and practice of infection control in dental clinics. Survey instruments containing 14 questions were randomly distributed to 113 dental health care professionals regarding knowledge of infection control methods and infection control practice during impression making in dental clinics and hospitals. Data was collected and analyzed. Results: Though most of the health care professionals (88.6 %) think an impression taken from patient mouth will have enough pathogens to cause cross infection, our study showed that only 52.3 % of them disinfect all the impression and washing impression under running water was the method used for disinfection by the majority (78.9 %). Conclusions: The knowledge about infection control during impression making is better among the dental health care professionals. But there is a need to improve the practice to minimize cross infection in dental set up and reduce the associated morbidity and mortality rates for both dental practitioners themselves and patients.

Authors: Singh Ashutosh Kumar , Dhungel Safal
Published: May 2020

Background: Coronal approach has been widely used by maxillofacial surgeons around the world for wide exposure and fixation of upper midface fractures. Coronal approach hides the scar in hair and completely avoids any incisions on face thus providing better aesthetic outcome. Our aim was to describe the data on indications and complications associated with coronal approach in our patient population. Methods: Prospective longitudinal study was planned and data was collected from a study population of all patients treated with coronal approach for facial fractures from January 2016 to June 2019. Demographic variables, Type of fracture, hemicoronal or bicoronal approach used and early complications of hematoma, infection and dehiscence were recorded. Delayed complications of neurosensory disturbances, facial nerve weakness, temporal hollowing and alopecia scar in hair bearing area was recorded. Results: Isolated zygomatic arch fracture was most common indication with 14 cases followed by ZMC fractures with 12 cases, NOE fracture with 7 cases, Lefort III with 6 cases and Frontal bone fracture with 2 cases. Hematoma was not observed in any of our cases. Infection was observed in 2 cases (4.8%), Dehiscence was observed in 5 cases (11.9%), Neurosensory disturbance was observed in 12 cases (28.6%). Permanent neurosensory changes beyond 6 months of follow up was not observed. Alopecia scar was seen in 7 cases (16.7%) and Facial nerve weakness was observed in 4 cases (9.5%). Conclusions: Coronal approach is best approach in terms of exposure provided to upper midface fractures and can be safely performed with minimal complications.

Sociology of Tourism: Shifting Paradigm from Nostalgia to Happiness
Authors: Sharma Ramji
Published: May 2020

Travel is not a recent genre. However, the concept of modern tourism is a naïve charm. Due to its outrageous rumble worldwide, it has now become the biggest industry of 21st century. With the growth, tourism has gradually been creating its own space in academia. Sociologists also could not remain oblivious to tourism’s multifaceted implications on individual, society and culture. Boorstin endeavored to pull tourism in sociological domain since 1962 but could create its own niche in Sociology in 70s specifically with the advent of prominent scholars like Dean MacCannell and John Urry in this premise. Tourism now has become an appealing proposition in sociology though it’s theoretical gravity and methodological progression is still in embryonic stage. Th e objective of this paper is to review and synthesize the cognition of tourism in sociological domain from escapism (nostalgia) disposition to the current trend of happiness premise.

The population of the world is increasing day by day. Accordingly, the amount of production and consumption are increasing. Due to the continuous and rapid development of technology, the duration of the use of some products becomes shorter. That is why the more efficient use of limited resources is even more important. In the developing and growing automotive industry, companies are currently focusing on weight and cost reduction methods to compete. In this study, the optimum design has been achieved by using topology and shape optimization in the suspension cover used in suspension systems. As a result of the topology and shape optimization efforts, The mass of the optimum design achieved was reduced by 35.203 % according to the first design.
Development of a bond graph model for electromechanical actuators
Authors: Kocabıçak Zeliha Kamış
Published: May 2020

This article addresses the bond graph model that allows for better comprehension of what the physical and mathematical concepts involved in electromechanical actuators are. In this study a disc type electromechanical actuator is modeled according to the bond graph method. Nonlinear effects such as flux path permeances, leakage loss and material saturation in a magnetic circuit are taken into account. The model is run on 20-sim 4.7 software, which allows for working directly with bond graph concepts. Simulation run-time is approximately 0.3 s for the simulation time of 12 ms. Results achieved with this model are compared with an MATLAB/Simulink model prepared using magnetic circuit algebraic equations. It was determined that the results of both models are almost identical. The static and dynamic model results are also verified by test results. As a consequence, a simple, fast running, accurate and easy-to-understand comprehensive bond graph model with magnetic circuit characteristics was developed. The model can be adapted to any type of electromechanical actuators with proper arrangement.

Published: May 2020

Three alloys, containing niobium, vanadium and titanium, respectively, were refined and the strengthening effect attained after adding them individually in a 20MnSi low-alloy rebar steel was investigated. The results show that the strengthening effect attained due to the addition of niobium is the best, whereas that due to the addition of titanium is the poorest. Grain refinement and precipitation strengthening are the main strengthening mechanisms observed in niobium-steel and vanadium-steel, whereas only precipitation strengthening is observed in titanium-steel. Moreover, the average grain size of niobium-steel is the smallest among the four types of steels, while the size of ferrite and pearlite microstructures show almost no obvious change as compared to the base steel in the case of titanium-steel. Furthermore, the volume fractions of ferrite and pearlite in the four tested steels have no noticeable change.

Published: May 2020

A comprehensive investigation of the effects of NbC on the microstructure and properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets has been performed. Cermet samples were obtained via liquid-phase sintering under the guidance of thermodynamic calculations, and the amount of NbC was varied. The results showed that when the NbC content exceeded 12 wt.%, a hard phase with an NbC core appeared due to the lattice mismatch between the core and rim. NbC was not completely consumed by dissolution and precipitation, causing it to form a residual NbC core. As the NbC content increased, the grain size was refined, and the hardness of the cermet increased, but the fracture toughness decreased. When NbC was introduced into the cermet, a relatively dense protective layer was formed on the surface during oxidation, which restricted the diffusion of oxygen and improved the oxidation resistance of the cermet.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE ENERGY CONSUMED BY NEEDLE BAR MECHANISM AND THE MECHANISM DRIVING THE FEED DOG OF A TOP DRIVE SEWING MACHINE
Authors: Elena Atanasova Blagova
Published: May 2020

The paper focuses on the energy consumed by two mechanisms of sewing machine for straight lockstitch (stitch line 301): needle driving mechanism and the transporting mechanism. The first mechanism - needle driving, is a simple structure, but it is the most dynamic one. The second – to moving the fabrics, is the most complicated mechanism of the sewing machine. A comparative analysis of the energy consumed by the two mechanisms for the implementation of their propulsion is made. The correct work of the machine, the seam quality and the quality of the entire sewing product depend to a large extent, on the workings of these two mechanisms. The needle is driven by a slider-crank mechanism, while for the movement of the connected details, at the distance one step is done by a working part – a feed dog. It is attached to a carrier and its trajectory is a closed planar curve, close to the ellipse. The feed dog receives the horizontal and vertical component of its motion from two conditionally separate kinematic chains that have a common drive.The aim is analytical research and comparative analysis of the energies of needle bar mechanism and a mechanism driving the feed dog of the sewing machine. The energy consumed by each of the links of chains, of the chains themselves and total energy consumed by each of the two mechanisms for a full turn of the main shaft of the machine was studied. A comparative analysis of the energies and their distribution was carried out during the working process and the free movement of each of them. The results of the comparative analysis are presented in graphs and diagrams. It can be seen that the energy consumed by the needle mechanism is significantly greater than that of the transport mechanism. This fact is due to the much higher speeds of the links of the first one.

During researching the spectra of biocomplexes of synthesized metals synthesized by us with the organic laxand Naxogin (nimorazole), we compared the spectra of the obtained complexes with the ir-spectra of free (uncoordinated) naxogin (nimorazole). The research showed that the stretching vibration frequencies υ(C=N) were A~10–25 cm-1 in the high- frequency region and rarely in the higher metallicity (but in the acceptable range), which indicates that naxogin is present in these metal complexes (nimorazole). In a coordinated state through one of the two nitrogen atoms of the imidazole cycle. Comparisons were also made with the spectra of noxogenic (nimorazole) metal complexes (manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc) and other metals chromium(II), iron(II) and iron(III), which convinced us that organic ligands were only centrally connected with the complexes atoms.
