Kecamatan Bulak merupakan perkampungan nelayan di Surabaya yang padat penduduk dengan kondisi sanitasinya kurang begitu baik. Sejak tahun 2017, ITS bekerjasama dengan National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) membantu penyediaan sanitasi. Permasalahan yang terjadi di Bulak saat ini adalah penumpukan kulit kerang dan limbah pengasapan ikan yang belum dikelola. Kerang memiliki kandungan fosfat dan mineral yang bermanfaat untuk nutrisi, demikian juga pada limbah pengasapan ikan, sehingga dari limbah tersebut masih dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi produk pakan/pellet ikan yang memiliki kandungan nutrisi tinggi dan bernilai ekonomi. Pada tahun 2018 nelayan telah memiliki peralatan mesin pencacah kerang tetapi mesin tersebut sudah lama rusak dan tidak dipergunakan sehingga kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan adalah memperbaiki mesin pembuat pellet dan melakukan pelatihan cara pembuatan pellet skala rumah tangga. Tahapan pertama dilakukan perbaikan mata potong mesin dan saringan, selanjutnya dilakukan dilakukan uji coba untuk pembuatan pelet ikan. Pelet yang telah dibuat dilakukan uji ukuran tepung ikan, karakteristik fisik, organoletptik, daya apung dan proksimat. Hasil uji proksimat pada tepung ikan didapatkan kadar air 5,72; abu 33,15; lemak 18,11; protein 33,26 dan karbohidrat 9,76%, sedangkan pada pellet menujukkan hasil uji fisik berwarna coklat dengan tekstur agak kasar dan beraroma. Hasil uji proksimat pada pellet menunjukkan kadar air 8,78; abu 23,48; lemak 11,02; protein 27,26 dan karbohidrat 29.46%. Warna pelet coklat muda, tekstur agak kasar, aroma khas dedak dan daya apung selama 50 detik. Hasil pelatihan pada masyarakat juga mendapatkan respon yang bagus bahkan bersemangat untuk membuat home industry produk pellet

COVID-19 adalah penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh jenis corona virus yang baru ditemukan. Ini merupakan virus baru dan penyakit yang sebelumnya tidak dikenal sebelum terjadi wabah di Wuhan, Tiongkok, bulan Desember 2019. Gejala-gejala COVID-19 yang paling umum adalah demam, rasa lelah, dan batuk kering. COVID19 dapat menyebar dari orang ke orang melalui percikan-percikan dari hidung atau mulut yang keluar saat orang yang terjangkit COVID-19 batuk atau mengeluarkan napas, percikan-percikan ini kemudian jatuh ke benda-benda dan permukaanpermukaan di sekitar. Bagi orang yang menyentuh benda atau permukaan tersebut lalu menyentuh mata, hidung atau mulutnya, dapat terjangkit COVID-19. Oleh karena itu dilakukanlah sosialisasi dan penyuluhan masyarakat nelayan pesisir dalam menghadapi dan mencegah penyebaran COVID-19 di daerah pesisir nelayan serta pembagian masker kepada masyarakat nelayan pesisir. Sehingga dapat meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan bahayanya penyakit yang disebakan oleh COVID 19, kondisi penyebaran COVID-19 di Indonesia, serta prosedur dan protokol kesehatan dalam rangka menerapkan social distancing. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat terlaksana di Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai Mayangan, Kel. Mangunharjo Kec. Mayangan, Kota Probolinggo, Jawa Timur. Karena Pelabuhan ini dikelilingi oleh banyak pasar dan pelabuhan ini juga berisikan galangan–galangan kapal serta Tempat Pelelangan Ikan (TPI). Kegiatan berjalan dengan lancar diimbangi dengan tingkat antusias masyarakat yang tinggi. Tingkat keberhasilan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dapat dilihat dari meningkatnya kepedulian masyarakat nelayan pesisir akan pentingnya protokol kesehatan. Hal tersebut ditandai dengan meningkatnya jumlah masyarakat nelayan yang menggunakan masker saat melakukan aktifitas.

Published: November 2021

As a subject for music students, counterpoint contributes to the ability to create a melody. The melody in counterpoint usually consists of two or more layers. In order to make a counterpoint melody, students must acknowledge the rules to construct the counterpoint melody. A good counterpoint melody involves two important things: the flow of the melody in a vertical and horizontal in vertical line (interval) and the musical texture of the melody. As a beginner in learning counterpoint, writing a counterpoint melody might be difficult at first. Learning counterpoint investigation was found that students spent a lot of their time following the counterpoint rules. They particularly did not focus on the musical sense of the counterpoint melody causing the melody loses its musical senses. Sibelius was used here as a tool to solve the problem. Sibelius is a music software which commonly used in writing musical scores. This study examined Sibelius in making a counterpoint melody in learning counterpoint. The data were gathered through observation and interviews with students during learning counterpoint course. The result showed that by using Sibelius, making counterpoint melody more efficient, and it helped student not only focused on the counterpoint rules but also the musical senses of the counterpoint melody. Furthermore, students also showed the improvement of their skills in making a counterpoint melody.
Lens desensitizing: theory and practice
Authors: Sasian Jose
Published: November 2021

It is shown that a well optimized lens is often a desensitized lens, and that further desensitizing requires new degrees of freedom, change of lens form, and mitigating aberration propagation. Three examples that illustrate the process of lens desensitizing are discussed using a retro-focus lens, a model of the S-Planar lens, and a miniature lens.

Published: November 2021

Primary hyperparathyroidism, often caused by a single adenoma (80-85%) or four-gland hyperplasia (10-15%), can lead to elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and resultant hypercalcemia. Surgical excision of offending lesions is the standard of care, as the removal of pathologic adenomas reduces PTH and calcium values to baseline. The small size, variable location, and indistinct external features of parathyroid glands can make their identification quite challenging intraoperatively. Our group has developed the dynamic optical contrast imaging (DOCI) technique, a novel realization of dynamic temporally dependent measurements of tissue autofluorescence. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of using the DOCI technique and normalized steady-state fluorescence intensity data for differentiating types of human parathyroid and thyroid tissues. We demonstrate that the DOCI technique has the capability to distinguish normal parathyroid tissue from diseased parathyroid glands as well as from adjacent healthy thyroid and adipose tissue across 8 different spectral channels between 405nm-600nm (p<0.05). Patient tissue DOCI data was further analyzed with a logistic regression classifier trained across the 8 spectral channels. After computer training, the computer-aided identification was able to accurately locate hypercellular parathyroid tissue with 100% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity within the captured DOCI image.
Pharmacist involved education program in a multidisciplinary team for oral mucositis: Its impact in head-and-neck cancer patients

Published: November 2021

Objectives

This retrospective study examined how a pharmacist-involved education program in a multidisciplinary team (PEMT) for oral mucositis (OM) affected head-and-neck cancer (HNC) patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).

Materials and methods

Total samples data of 53 patients during the stipulated timeframe were retrospectively collected from electronic medical records from February 2017 to January 2019. We compared the presence/absence of OM (OM: yes/no) between patients with and without PEMT (PEMT: yes/no) as the primary endpoint and OM severity as the secondary endpoint. The following information was surveyed: age, gender, weight loss, steroid or immunosuppressant use, hematological values (albumin, white blood cell count, blood platelets, and neutrophils), cancer grade, primary cancer site, type and use of mouthwash and moisturizer, opioid use (yes/no, days until the start of opioid use, and dose, switch to tape), and length of hospital day (LOD). The two groups were compared using Fisher’s exact test for qualitative data and the Mann-Whitney U test for quantitative data, and a significance level of p<0.05 was set.

Results

The group managed by PEMT had significantly lower weight loss and a significantly lower incidence of local anesthetic and opioid use and switch to tape compared with the group not managed by PEMT (p<0.05). The two groups showed no significant difference in OM (yes/no) or OM severity. The PEMT group had significantly shorter LOD at 57 (53–64) days compared with the non-PEMT group at 63.5 (57–68) days (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Our results showed that PEMT did not improve OM (yes/no) or OM severity in HNC patients undergoing CCRT. However, the PEMT group had a lower incidence of grades 3 and 4 OM than the non-PEMT group, although not significantly. In addition, PEMT contributed to oral pain relief and the lowering of the risk for OM by reduction in weight loss.
Clinicopathologic and prognostic implications of Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 in colorectal cancer: A meta-analysis
Authors: Wang Tao , Fei Jiandong , Nie Shuangfa
Published: November 2021

Background

Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of GOLPH3 in CRC remain undefined. We thus did a meta-analysis to assess GOLPH3 association with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients and evaluate the prognostic significance of GOLPH3 in CRC.

Methods

An electronic search for relevant articles was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, CNKI, and WanFang databases. Two independent reviewers searched all the literature and finished the data extraction and quality assessment. Odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess estimates. Stata software (version12.0) was employed to analyze the data.

Results

A total of 8 published studies were eligible (N = 723 participants). Meta-analysis revealed that GOLPH3 was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissues compared to that of adjacent colorectal tissues (OR, 2.63), and overexpression of GOLPH3 had significant relationship with advanced clinical stage (OR, 3.42). GOLPH3 expression was not correlated with gender (OR, 0.89), age (OR, 0.95), positive lymphatic metastasis (OR, 1.27), tumor size (OR, 1.12), poor differentiation of tumor (OR, 0.56) or T stage (OR, 0.70). Moreover, GOLPH3 overexpression was not associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.42–1.86, P>0.05) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.80, 95% CI:-0.26–1.86, P>0.05).

Conclusions

GOLPH3 overexpression is correlated with tumor stage, which is an adverse clinicopathological characteristic of CRC. But, GOLPH3 can not serve as a useful biomarker in evaluating the progression of CRC.
Modelling aerosol-based exposure to SARS-CoV-2 by an agent based Monte Carlo method: Risk estimates in a shop and bar
Authors: Salmenjoki Henri , Korhonen Marko , Puisto Antti , Vuorinen Ville , Alava Mikko J.
Published: November 2021

Present day risk assessment on the spreading of airborne viruses is often based on the classical Wells-Riley model assuming immediate mixing of the aerosol into the studied environment. Here, we improve on this approach and the underlying assumptions by modeling the space-time dependency of the aerosol concentration via a transport equation with a dynamic source term introduced by the infected individual(s). In the present agent-based methodology, we study the viral aerosol inhalation exposure risk in two scenarios including a low/high risk scenario of a “supermarket”/“bar”. The model takes into account typical behavioral patterns for determining the rules of motion for the agents. We solve a diffusion model for aerosol concentration in the prescribed environments in order to account for local exposure to aerosol inhalation. We assess the infection risk using the Wells-Riley model formula using a space-time dependent aerosol concentration. The results are compared against the classical Wells-Riley model. The results indicate features that explain individual cases of high risk with repeated sampling of a heterogeneous environment occupied by non-equilibrium concentration clouds. An example is the relative frequency of cases that might be called superspreading events depending on the model parameters. A simple interpretation is that averages of infection risk are often misleading. They also point out and explain the qualitative and quantitative difference between the two cases—shopping is typically safer for a single individual person.
Prevalence and correlates of forgone care among adult Israeli Jews: A survey conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak
Authors: Werner Perla , Tur-Sinai Aviad
Published: November 2021

Efforts to control the spread of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic include drastic measures such as isolation, social distancing, and lockdown. These restrictions are accompanied by serious adverse consequences such as forgoing of healthcare. The study aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of forgone care for a variety of healthcare services during a two-month COVID-19 lockdown, using Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Healthcare Utilization. A cross-sectional study using computerized phone interviews was conducted with 302 Israeli Jewish participants aged 40 and above. Almost half of the participants (49%) reported a delay in seeking help for at least one needed healthcare service during the COVID-19 lockdown period. Among the predisposing factors, we found that participants aged 60+, being more religious, and reporting higher levels of COVID-19 fear were more likely to report forgone care than younger, less religious and less concerned participants. Among need factors, a statistically significant association was found with a reported diagnosis of diabetes, with participants with the disease having a considerably higher likelihood of forgone care. The findings stress the importance of developing interventions aimed at mitigating the phenomenon of forgoing care while creating nonconventional ways of consuming healthcare services. In the short term, healthcare services need to adapt to the social distancing and isolation measures required to stanch the epidemic. In the long term, policymakers should consider alternative ways of delivering healthcare services to the public regularly and during crisis without losing sight of their budgetary consequences. They must recognize the possibility of having to align medical staff to the changing demand for healthcare services under conditions of health uncertainty.
Reyes y pueblos: poesía alemana del Trienio Liberal
Authors: Cáceres Würsig Ingrid , Solano Rodríguez Remedios
Published: November 2021

El mundo germano de 1820 vivía inmerso en una fuerte represión que cerraba periódicos y podía llevar a la cárcel a aquellos intelectuales que se rebelaran contra el orden de la Restauración. En ese contexto se recibieron las noticias del levantamiento de Rafael del Riego y el restablecimiento de la Constitución de Cádiz. Una parte de la sociedad alemana reaccionó con la esperanza de que esa ola de apertura se expandiera también por Europa; otra parte, sin embargo, manifestó su miedo a que el movimiento revolucionario español trajera la anarquía y la guerra, como había sucedido con la Revolución Francesa. Entre esos dos polos se moverá la recepción del Trienio Liberal en los territorios de habla alemana. Sin lugar a dudas, los escritores alemanes del Romanticismo se interesaron por lo que sucedía en España. No obstante, la censura, especialmente vigilante hacia todo lo relacionado con el Trienio Liberal, hizo muy difícil que el levantamiento español ocupara un lugar primordial en sus obras, en parte también porque su rápido final decepcionó a los liberales. En este libro estudiamos el reflejo de los sucesos españoles entre 1820 y 1823 en la poesía y algunos escritos ensayísticos germanos. Para ello hemos investigado la obra de los escritores del momento, tanto de los más relevantes como de otros que ya han sido olvidados. En el caso de la poesía, hemos reproducido y traducido los poemas centrados o inspirados en el movimiento revolucionario español.
A review of factors influencing performance of pervious concrete
Authors: Lakusic Stjepan
Published: November 2021

Pervious concrete is an environment friendly solution for eliminating imperviousness-related drawbacks of conventional concrete. Pervious concrete mixes are predominantly composed of cement, coarse aggregate, and water. The partial or complete elimination of fine aggregate results in porous structure, which influences performance of pervious concrete. This article is aimed at reviewing major factors involved in the design of pervious concrete mixes, namely the compaction, aggregate to cementitious material ratio (ACR), sand fraction, water to cementitious material ratio (w/cm), size of coarse aggregate, and void ratio or porosity. The effects of various admixtures, replacement materials, and fibres, are also discussed. The results indicate that pervious concrete acts as an effective medium in promoting the sustainability of urban environments due to its multi-aspectual benefits.
POST HOC EVIDENCE FOR AN ADDITIVE EFFECT OF MEMANTINE AND DONEPEZIL: CONSISTENT FINDINGS FROM DOMINO-AD STUDY AND MEMANTINE CLINICAL TRIAL PROGRAM
Authors: Hendrix S. , Ellison N. , Stanworth S. , Otcheretko V. , Tariot P.N.
Published: November 2021

Background: Several randomized trials have demonstrated superiority of memantine-cholinesterase inhibitor combination therapy in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease, yet a recent publication reported no additional benefit of add-on memantine therapy compared to donepezil alone. Objectives: In this post hoc analysis, we sought to re-evaluate the results from the DOMINO study using common statistical tools and to apply the statistical models used in the DOMINO study to a pooled data set of 24- to 28-week randomized trials of memantine in patients with moderate to severe AD in order to explore the robustness of the primary findings from the DOMINO study. Design: DOMINO study: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Current Controlled Trial number, ISRCTN49545035); Memantine Clinical Trial Program: Pooled analysis from four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. Setting: DOMINO study: United Kingdom; Memantine Clinical Trial Program: Multinational. Participants: DOMINO study: 295 participants enrolled during the period of February 2008 to March 2010; Memantine Clinical Trial Program: 1417 participants enrolled between August 1998 and January 2008. Measurements: In the DOMINO study, the co-primary outcome measures were scores on the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination and the Bristol Activities of Daily Living Scale; Neuropsychiatric Inventory was a secondary measure. In the Memantine Clinical Trial Program, outcome measures included the Severe Impairment Battery, the 19-item Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study – Activities of Daily Living scale, Neuropsychiatric Inventory, and a 4-Domain Composite Index (Z-score; a post hoc assessment). Results: Both the pooled analysis of the Memantine Clinical Trial Program and the re-assessment of the DOMINO study with common statistical tools showed that adding memantine to donepezil therapy is associated with benefits across multiple clinical domains. Conclusions: The current analyses suggest that the results of the DOMINO study do not contradict previous studies which investigated the combined effects of memantine-cholinesterase inhibitor treatment.

Experiencias de alteridad. Lo fantasmático y lo poético en Derrida
Authors: Viñolo Sol Anahí
Published: November 2021

Según Derrida, tanto en lo fantasmático como en la poesía se hace la misma experiencia de la alteridad, de lo otro, lo extraño y más allá de lo humano. En este trabajo se busca ahondar en esta afirmación analizando, por un lado, la satisfacción fantasmática de la pulsión de poder, desde la lectura derridiana del psicoanálisis, como la condición de posibilidad de la soberanía, y, por el otro, la poesía, desde la concepción de la poética celaniana que Derrida retoma en La bestia y el soberano.
Los tiempos del afecto. Archivo, distancia, memoria: una aproximación a Cuatreros de Albertina Carri
Authors: Boero Maria Soledad
Published: November 2021

A partir de un acercamiento a la película Cuatreros (2017) de Albertina Carri, nos proponemos reflexionar sobre la distancia en tanto dimensión afectiva que actualiza modos singulares de vinculación con el pasado. La película retoma la historia de su búsqueda infructuosa del guión para cine elaborado a comienzos de los 70 por Pablo Szir, basado en la investigación de Roberto Carri, su padre (de su libro Isidro Velázquez. Formas prerrevolucionarias de la violencia de 1968). El cineasta fue desaparecido por la violencia de Estado, al igual que los padres de Albertina, y todo lo vinculado al guión sobre dicho filme. Nos interesa analizar esta película en el marco de algunos interrogantes que se vinculan, por un lado, a los modos en que se usa el archivo, en tanto reservorio de imágenes, y por el otro —dado el marco de experimentación en el que la cineasta trabaja con el pasado— indagar en los matices de sus búsquedas y sucesivos fracasos para llevar adelante dicho proyecto. Un desafío para pensar la invención de lazos inéditos entre lo familiar y lo colectivo, y la elaboración de una posición subjetiva que va descomponiendo los sentidos de lo autobiográfico, de lo personal y familiar, dando lugar a otras alianzas desde un yo que se abre al exterior que lo atraviesa. Una búsqueda de la forma estética no encontrada que es, sobre todo, una indagación afectiva, ética y política sobre el cómo seguir narrando los efectos de la violencia de Estado y la desaparición, desde el presente que habitamos.
La figura del vagabundo como cifra del extrañamiento y la marginación.
Authors: Gasillón Maria Lourdes
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo, analizaremos la construcción de la subjetividad marginal del protagonista de la novela Un horizonte de cemento (1940), de Bernardo Kordon, quien cuenta sus experiencias en el Buenos Aires de la Década Infame. El linyera percibe la mirada recelosa de aquellos que lo aíslan y lo llevan a vivir en soledad. Al mismo tiempo, un lenguaje cargado de sinestesias enmarca una experiencia marcada por la pérdida (Didi-Huberman, 2017) y la necesidad de sobrevivir. Durante su recorrido, Tolosa percibe sensaciones diferentes que marcan un alejamiento de lo que necesita. Entonces, el distanciamiento (Shklovski, 2016) opera también a través de la singularización de ciertos elementos de la vida cotidiana detallados como si se experimentaran por primera vez para aumentar la duración de la percepción; es decir, el extrañamiento, derivado de determinados procedimientos narrativos, que va más allá de las apariencias para comprender la realidad representada de manera más profunda (Ginzburg, 2000). Finalmente, observaremos que el vagabundo no se avergüenza de su condición, sino que señala una distancia respecto de la «gente común» y de aquellos protagonistas lúmpenes (Sebreli, 2003) de otras novelas realistas que los presentaban desde afuera, como objetos exóticos o extraños.
Figuras de la distancia en la escritura crítica. Mínima genealogía en tres escansiones
Authors: Montenegro Rodrigo
Published: November 2021

Propongo un itinerario genealógico a través de textos centrales para los estudios literarios a fin de focalizar el problema de la distancia crítica como ideologema paradójico y constitutivo. Para ello planteo tres escansiones: primero, una revisión de los textos fundacionales del formalismo ruso junto a las intervenciones benjaminianas en las primeras décadas del siglo XX; luego, una aproximación a las renovaciones del lenguaje crítico en torno al espacio de la revista Tel Quel y el inicio de la propuesta agambeniana; finalmente, una revisión de la actualidad del ensayo crítico y la negatividad en Damián Tabarovksy y Alberto Giordano, escritores argentinos contemporáneos. El recorrido focaliza diversas escenas y momentos culturales a fin de corroborar la persistencia del problema de la distancia y la negatividad, nociones que ofrecieron un marco epistemológico para el experimentalismo y las modulaciones de la escritura crítica. Al observar estas intervenciones es posible advertir una zona de indistinciones entre prácticas de pensamiento y literarias, en la cual la crítica desarrolla una política inmanente.
Perepresentasian Liyan Dalam Novel Ushfur Min Ash-Sharq Karya Tawfiq Al-Hakim
Authors: Apriyono Hendra
Published: November 2021

This research is motivated by the imbalance of relations between East and West in Arabic travel literature. The inequality is caused by the representation of the superior (West) and the inferior (East) which is constantly being produced. The novel Uṣfur min al-Syarq by Taufiq al-Hakim as one of Arabic travel literature is considered to offer a different view from other Arabic travel literature by proposing the value of equality between East and West. This research is expected to be able to resolve the problem of inequality in relations between East and West as represented in Arabic travel literature. This research uses another representation strategy from Carl Thompson's travel literary concept which consists of colonial, neo-colonial, and post-colonial strategies. The results of this study found that the representations of the others made by al-Hakim which were dominated by the use of colonial and post-colonial strategies showed that the author occupied two opposing positions. On the one hand, al-Hakim is still trapped in colonial discourse and on the other hand, al-Hakim is not entirely successful in bringing the post-colonial travel agenda to escape from Western hegemony. The equality proposed by al-Hakim regarding the East is inseparable from Western assistance. To realize the equality of the East and the West, al-Hakim used the superiority of the West to face the West in order to defend the East.
Resilience in higher education: A conceptual model and its empirical analysis
Authors: Durso Samuel de Oliveira , Afonso Luís Eduardo , Beltman Susan
Published: November 2021

This research analyzes how the resilience of higher education students is shaped during the undergraduate program by personal and contextual factors. In this research, the resilient student is one who faces a high burden of stress and/or adversity during their undergraduate course but manages to reach the end of the program satisfied and/or committed to the chosen career. Based on the literature review, we developed the Academic Resilience Model (ARM), which explains the sources of stress and/or adversity, as well as the protective mechanisms and/or factors that affect students throughout the program. We empirically test this model by conducting a phenomenology-based qualitative study at a public university in Brazil. The results of ARM validation indicate that the main sources of stress and/or adversity and protective mechanisms and/or factors come from individual, academic and external systems. Examples of sources of stress/adversity were the low initial motivation for the program, personal health problems, faculty didactic-pedagogical deficiency, difficulties in relationships with peers, and competing professional demands. On the other hand, the main protective mechanisms/factors identified were the capacity of adaptability, self-control, personal organization, good relationships with the faculty, integration with peers, and support of family. The research enabled identification of how resilience helps students to overcome barriers in higher education, generating important results for future education policies.
Krajobrazy posthumanistyczne w prozie Hiromi Kawakami
Authors: Kubiak Ho-Chi Beata
Published: November 2021

Hiromi Kawakami (ur. 1958) tworzy w swoich powieściach i opowiadaniach oryginalny świat fantazji, zamieszkiwany na równych prawach przez ludzi i byty nie-ludzkie. Ich uniwersa przenikają się, a granice taksonomiczne, estetyczne, etyczne zanikają. W wyniku przesunięcia uwagi z człowieka na płazy, gady, ssaki, rośliny, a nawet materię nieorganiczną, ludzki podmiot ulega w utworach Kawakami decentracji, a antropocentryczny porządek normatywny zostaje zaburzony. Sprawia to, że proza Kawakami wpisuje się wyraźnie w posthumanistyczny dyskurs literacki obecny w humanistyce środowiskowej. W artykule analizuję takie utwory Kawakami, jak Niedźwiedzi bóg, Niedźwiedzi bóg 2011, Nadepnęłam na węża, Ugoromochi,oscylujące pomiędzy baśnią a fikcją spekulatywną. Stanowią one świadectwo silnej obecności we współczesnej literaturze japońskiej tematów istotnych dla człowieka doby antropocenu, do których należy kolektywne współistnienie ludzi i nie-ludzi, związek natura – kultura czy świadomość ekologiczna.
„Der Triumph der Vegetation ist total“ – eine Re-Lektüre von Michel Houellebecqs La carte et le territoire aus humanökologischer Perspektive
Authors: Sommerfeld Beate
Published: November 2021

Der Beitrag geht den in Karte und Gebiet (2010) von Houellebecq entfalteten Wirkungszusammenhängenzwischen dem Menschen und seiner natürlichen Umwelt nach. Diese werden anhand der visuellen Künste verhandelt. Die Gemälde und Fotografien des Künstlers Jed Martin werden zu Schauräumen, die den Ort desMenschen im natur-kulturellen Ganzen reflektieren und dabei eine Verschiebung der Agency vom Menschen zur Natur vollziehen. In den letzten fotografischen Installationen wird die Perspektive der Pflanzenwelt eingenommen, welche die Handlungsmacht des Menschen abgelöst hat. Über das Medium der Kunst werden transversale Allianzen, Praktiken und Visionen entworfen, die sich quer zur industriell-technologischen Hybris des Anthropozän stellen. Houellebecqs Roman wird im Kontext der ethischen Debatte über das Anthropozän gelesen.
Antropocen i kapitałocen: w poszukiwaniu fuzji horyzontów
Authors: Szaj Patryk
Published: November 2021

Artykuł włącza się w dyskusję pomiędzy koncepcjami antropocenu i kapitałocenu. Rozpoczyna go rekonstrukcja zarzutów, jakie pierwszej z nich stawiają m.in. Jason W. Moore, Eileen Crist czy Donna Haraway (niewłaściwa diagnoza przyczyn kryzysu ekologiczno-klimatycznego, ignorowanie nierównej odpowiedzialności za ów kryzys, utrzymywanie antropocentrycznej wizji świata). Następnie autor przedstawiakontrargumenty zwolenników antropocenu, m.in. Iana Angusa, Clive’a Hamiltona, Dipesha Chakrabarty’ego (antropocen nie ignoruje kontekstu gospodarczo-politycznego, zwolennicy kapitałocenu dokonują nieuprawnionego przeniesienia diagnoz geologicznych na pole socjologii, narracja o kapitalizmie nie jest wystarczająco szeroką ramą badania zmian klimatu). Zakończenie artykułu stanowi próbę fuzji horyzontów obu koncepcji. Autor postrzega je jako dwie wersje hermeneutyki klimatycznej, podejmujące próbę zrozumienia, co dzieje się z naszym światem, i wypracowania odpowiedzi na ów proces.
Precarity and Gender: What’s Love Got to Do with it?
Authors: Majewska Ewa
Published: November 2021

This article examines the concept of precarity from a feminist perspective, focused on love and affective labour, critically addressing the gender inequalities of neoliberal capitalism. The romantic, heterosexual model of love, typical for modern Western societies, has been dismantled and criticized in various ways, leading to contradictory solutions, which include its annihilation, sublation and modification, as well as (rather conservative) efforts to preserve it. However, love – in its different versions, both as theory and in practice – still provides models and solutions, not only for the neoliberal labour market and new forms of exploitation and expropria- tion of care and affective labour, but also for revolutionary ideas and transformations, among both feminists and Marxi- sts. It thus requires a theory focusing on the sublation, rather than annihilation, of love’s past models. In my article I build such a perspective, signalling its potential for resistance and models for revolution in the times of neoliberal capitalism.
Teacher Strikes and the Fight for the Common
Authors: Blanc Eric
Published: November 2021

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Praktyka Teoretyczna journal, we have invited our long-lasting collaborators and comrades to reflect once again on the concept of the common and it’s possible futures by posing the following questions: a) what is the most important aspect of the current struggles for the common?; b) what are the biggest challenges for the commonist politics of the future?; and c) where in the ongoing struggles do you see a potential for scaling-up and spreading organisation based on the common? In his reply, Eric Blanc draws our attention to contemporary teachers strikes as a movement with radical potentialities that greatly exceed merely reversing the privatization process of education.
Genesis and Exodus as Conceptually Independent, Competing Origin Myths?
Authors: Hong Koog P.
Published: November 2021

Against Konrad Schmid’s thesis that the pre-P ancestral and Exodus traditions existed as competing origin myths that were conceptually independent from each other, this article argues that this conceptual independence is difficult to prove in the context of the ancient Israelites’ oral-written culture. Moreover, societal negotiation about the past should not be misconstrued as a sign of traditions’ conceptual independence. Competition between origin stories, or selective emphasis on one story over another, does not indicate their conceptual independence.
Purging the Evil from Israel: The Function of the Deuteronomic Formula in Judg 20:13
Authors: Ber Viktor
Published: November 2021

This article argues for the importance of the purging formula in Judg 20:13. In the Deuteronomic Code, this formula provides the motivation for capital punishment in two areas relevant to the Judges narrative: first, apostasy and incitement to it, and, second, the perversion of Deuteronomic legal procedures. This study argues that both motifs are present in and important to Judges’ rendering of the Sodom-like outrage in Gibeah. The first is obvious. With regard to the second, the article argues that the Israelites err in their investigation of the case, and therefore their decisions and subsequent action lead to more violence and confusion. It is further argued that the triple oracular inquiry of YHWH in Judg 20:18–28 is presented as an inadequate substitute for proper forensic adjudication; it therefore does not lead to the establishment of order and justice.

Authors: COIMBRA DE MATOS ANA CATARINA
Published: November 2021

Numa terra em tempo de guerra , cheia de misérias e dor, uma criança descobre uma esperança, a leitura.Muidinga encontrará nos Cadernos, que lê à luz de uma fogueira, a ausência do medo noturno, uma fonte de sonho através das tantas e tantas histórias e, no fim, a sua identidade perdi da. A leitura é a fuga da dura realidade do fim das aldeias, a fuga da condena à solidão, pois abre a porta à imaginação que inunda a realidade da criança sem memória. A leitura em voz alta para o seu único companheiro, Tuahir, permite a partilha de histór ias, seguindo uma tradição oral ancestral. O sonho da leitura transpõe se para a realidade mediante a brincadeira de infância de fingir serem personagens e também pela revelação final da identidade das histórias, assim, o irreal dilui se no real.
Le Néopanafricanismeou l ?idéologie de l ?unité africaine et praxis de développement en Afrique
Authors: KABUNDA MBUYI
Published: November 2021

L'analyse part du constat, plus qu'évident, du vide idéologique et de l'absence de projet de société et de modèle de développement en Afrique, illustré par l'adhésion totale actuelle des gouvernements au néolibéralisme ou aux lois du marché, avec un bilan désastreux en termes de développement humain et social, hormis des taux de croissance et du PIB irréalistes. Tout cela explique pourquoi le continent a régressé par rapport aux avancées réalisées à l'ère de la décolonisation. D'où l'attachement au néo-panafricanisme, comme alternative, et fondamentalement comme idéologie d'unité supranationale et pratique de développement endogène dans ce continent. C'est-à-dire une stratégie qui s'inscrit dans «l'afrocentrisme ouvert », conciliante des valeurs africaines et de celles importées ou étrangères, c'est-à-dire inspirée des savoirs et pratiques domestiques et d’expériences étrangères enrichissantes. L'objectif est de faire de l'Afrique, au début du troisième millénaire, un sujet (acteur), et non un objet (spectateur), de la mondialisation ou du système international. Autrement dit, reconstruire ce que la colonisation a détruit, et en même temps s'adapter aux exigences et aux défis de la mondialisation.
Separation and characterization of lignin and sugars in the hydrolysate of hot water extraction of poplar wood by membrane filtration and activated carbon adsorption
Authors: Tian Guoyu , Chu Yaqi , Chen Xiaoqian , Zhong Xiuhong , Wang Zhaojiang , Zhang Tongtong
Published: November 2021

Hot water extraction of poplar wood was conducted at temperatures from 190 to 200 °C for 5 to 8 min. A hemicellulose yield of 81% and a lignin yield of 38% were obtained at 200 °C for 8 min. A combined process of microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and activated carbon adsorption was developed to separate lignin and sugars in the hydrolysate of hot water extraction. Lignin recovery efficiencies of 56.7%, 26.0%, and 13.2% were attained for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and activated carbon adsorption, respectively. The characterization of lignin revealed diversity in molecular weight and functional groups, which is beneficial for high-value valorization. The obtained hemicellulose sugars from the combined process showed a good recovery rate of 43.8% and remarkable purity of 97.5%. The purified sugars were a mixture of monomers and oligomers that consisted of arabinose, galactose, xylose, glucose, and mannose. Sugar oligomers with degrees of polymerization from 2 to 6 accounted for 21.6% of all sugars.
Detection of wood surface defects based on improved YOLOv3 algorithm
Authors: Wang Baogang , Yang Chunmei , Ding Yucheng , Qin Guangyi
Published: November 2021

For the detection of wood surface defects, a convolutional neural network has a low detection efficiency and insufficient generalization ability, so it does not meet the requirements of online detection. Aiming to solve the above problems, the YOLOv3 baseline model, which has the advantage of multi-objective dynamic detection, was improved and applied to the online detection of wood surface defects. To solve the problem of the poor generalization ability of the network, GridMask was used to enhance the data and improve the robustness of the network. In order to solve the problem of the considerable amount of network parameter calculations and insufficient real-time performance, the residual block of the backbone network was changed to a Ghost block structure to achieve a lightweight model. Finally, the confidence loss function of the network was improved to reduce the influence of simple samples and negative samples on model convergence. The experimental results showed that, compared with the original network, the improved algorithm increased the mean average precision by 5.73% and the detection speed was increased to 28 frames per second (an increase of 11), which met the requirements for real-time industrial detection.
Propagation velocity model and two-dimensional defect imaging of stress wave in larch (Larix gmelinii) wood
Authors: Wei Xiwen , Xu Shuzheng , Sun Liping , Tian Cong , Du Chunxiao
Published: November 2021

The propagation law of stress wave in larch (Larix gmelinii) wood was studied in this work. External factors affecting the propagation velocity of stress wave in wood cross-section were studied using the orthogonal experiment method. The most influential factors were shown by the experimental results, and the parameters of the propagation velocity model of stress wave in larch wood were optimized. Based on the optimized propagation velocity model, combined with the traditional defect determination method, a twelve-directional stack imaging (TDSI) steps system was developed for larch wood internal defect detection. The analysis results showed that of the three external factors of temperature, moisture content, and illumination duration, temperature had the greatest influence on the propagation velocity model of stress wave in larch wood cross-section. Using TDSI to image the defective larch wood not only can locate the defective area, but also it can achieve a high imaging precision of 95.52%, and the imaging precision is unrelated to the location of the defect, which has a good quantitative defect detection effect.
The viscoelasticity and deformation mechanism of Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ wood by dynamic mechanical analysis
Authors: Zhu Yuehua , Zhang Yaoli , Pan Biao
Published: November 2021

The viscoelasticity of Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ wood, while undergoing hydrothermal processing, was investigated via dynamic thermomechanical analysis. The results showed that the elastic deformation and viscous deformation of the Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ heartwood were greater than the sapwood. The heartwood average storage modulus and average loss modulus were greater than the sapwood. The difference between the heartwood and sapwood had little effect on the average glass transition temperature of their hemicellulose, which was approximately 74 °C. The radial average storage modulus was greater than the tangential, and the difference between the average loss modulus in the radial and tangential directions was negligible. The average glass transition temperature in the radial direction was slightly lower than the tangential direction. As the moisture content increased, the average storage modulus and its average hemicellulose glass transition temperature decreased. The average glass transition temperature tended to be lower as the moisture content increased. This study revealed the structural deformation and molecular movement of Taxodium hybrid ‘Zhongshanshan’ wood, while undergoing hydrothermal processing; this has important theoretical value for understanding its characteristics as well as its rational and efficient usage.
