Labour migration, precarious work and liminality
Authors: Scott Sam , Jakobsen Thomas Sætre , Rye Johan Fredrik , Visser M. Anne
Published: April 2022

Liminality, as originally conceived by anthropologists, is a temporary ‘in-between’ state that acts as a bridge, connecting old roles to new roles, and resulting in a desired new state. The article applies this concept to precarious migrant work. We argue, specifically, that migrants in low-wage and insecure work occupy four main liminal realms following their cross-border mobility: the temporal, the financial, the social and the legal. We explore these four realms using qualitative interview evidence (36 interviews) from comparative research with migrant workers, migrant employers and community stakeholders in Norway and the UK. The article then reflects on the balance between liminality (as a positive, temporary and in-between state) and limbo (as a negative, long-term state). We argue that migrants doing precarious work avoid limbo, but at the same time do not experience liminality as originally conceived. Instead, they experience what we term ‘ambiguous liminality’: where precarious work is encountered as liminal, but where the exact mechanisms and pathways leading to a desired new state are multiple, uncertain and incremental. Liminality, however ambiguous, is a vital expression of migrant agency; but it also serves the interests of capital too: masking the negatives associated with precarious work and helping to underpin precarious migrants’ work ethic.
Othering the sovereign host: Welsh responses to the British politics of asylum and resettlement after the 2015 European refugee ‘crisis’
Authors: Bernhardt Franz
Published: April 2022

In response to the large number of refugees and asylum seekers arriving in Europe in 2015, the devolved Welsh government committed that Wales should become the world’s first Nation of Sanctuary through building a ‘culture of welcome and hospitality’. This article compares the discursive responses of the sovereign British and devolved Welsh government to this summer of migration in 2015. It argues that such a comparison provides new theoretical ways of revisiting the metaphor of hospitality and its role in discursive framings of the phenomenon of migration. While the literature on migration and the sanctuary movement has explored the limits of hospitality as a frame and response to the exclusionary politics of asylum, this article argues that this new sanctuary discourse is also used to challenge the sovereign nation state on the expectations of what moral responsibilities it entails to be a ‘host’ to refugees and asylum seekers. Drawing on interview material and official documents from the Welsh and British administrations on the ‘Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Programme’, this article argues that while this challenge on moral expectations is still entangled with uneven relations to migrants, it creates a double othering. There, a subnational and devolved territorial unit constructs national self-imaginaries against the sovereign nation state, through a discursive politics of differentiation aimed at the exclusionary politics of asylum.
Contesting class, gender and national identity: The visual art practice of Test Dept
Authors: Forster Tim
Published: April 2022

The 1980s was a time of discontinuity in the United Kingdom as the country was restructured through an extensive reconfiguration of economic, social and political relations. This shift towards what would subsequently be termed neo-liberalism included the deliberate dismantling of organized labour as a political force, privatization, deregulation, cuts to the welfare state and a belief in the pre-eminence of the market as the most effective processor of information. Test Dept formed in 1981 and evolved politically in the socio-economic context of the early imposition of neo-liberalism. Test Dept’s visual art practice contested neo-liberal representation and discourse, opening up space and providing resources for alternative identities and the perpetuation of models of identity based around collectivism and solidarity. This article explores Test Dept’s practice, focusing on three aspects of identity that neo-liberalism attempted to restructure: class, gender and national identity.

Neues zu den Giebeln des frühklassischen Tempels der Aphaia auf Aegina und zu anderen Werken des ›Aphaia-Architekten‹
Authors: Bankel Hansgeorg
Published: April 2022

Since the publication of Volume I of Dieter Ohly’s Die Aegineten in 1976 and the present author’s monograph on the Aphaia temple’s architecture in 1993, further ceramic, sculptural, and archaeological research has problematized Ohly’s late 6thcentury BC date for the burning of the archaic temple, the construction of its successor from around 505 BC, and the replacement of its east pediment (›East I‹) with another (›East II‹) around 485 BC. An alternative thesis (Stewart 2008; et al.) points to the discovery of burned fragments of the archaic temple in the construction fills of its successor along with attic black figure pottery contemporary with the extensive ›Perserschutt‹ destruction debris from the Athenian agora. It therefore attributes the old temple’s destruction to the invading Persians in 480 BC and its replacement to the 470s. This article has sought an architectural ›third way‹ out of this impasse.

Research on the later temple has confirmed the existence of ›surplus‹ horizontal geisa with sockets in the style of the west pediment, which Ohly connected with some ›surplus‹ sculptures from the altar court, and attributed to East I. Yet the latter never proceeded beyond its (unfinished) corner geisa, ruling out Ohly’s theory of its installation on the temple and later replacement.

Together with the extensive epigraphical data on oversight procedures in Greek temple building, and other evidence from the site, all this points to a rejection of one of the pediments by an ad hoc building committee before installation, its rapid replacement by East II, and entire construction lasting not more than seven years.

Clear traces of the same architect at the Delion on Paros in the 480s and on the ›Temple of Juno Lacinia‹ at Agrigento around 460 BC, all but irreconcilable with Ohly’s chronology, now are best explained by the post-Persian date for the new temple signaled by the ceramic and stratigraphic evidence noted above (Stewart 2008; et al.).
Stacking classifier to improve the classification of shoulder motion in transhumeral amputees
Authors: Kaur Amanpreet
Published: April 2022

In recent years surface electromyography signals-based machine learning models are rapidly establishing. The efficacy of prosthetic arm growth for transhumeral amputees is aided by efficient classifiers. The paper aims to propose a stacking classifier-based classification system for sEMG shoulder movements. It presents the possibility of various shoulder motions classification of transhumeral amputees. To improve the system performance, adaptive threshold method and wavelet transformation have been applied for features extraction. Six different classifiers Support Vector Machines (SVM), Tree, Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN), AdaBoost and Naïve Bayes (NB) are designed to extract the sEMG data classification accuracy. With cross-validation, the accuracy of RF, Tree and Ada Boost is 97%, 92% and 92% respectively. Stacking classifiers provides an accuracy as 99.4% after combining the best predicted multiple classifiers.
Detektion von lungengängigen Fasern
Authors: Sagehorn H. , Wriedt T. , Bauckhage K.
Published: April 2022

Keramikfasern werden in vielen Bereichen der Technik eingesetzt. Bei der Herstellung, Wartung oder Montage z. B. von Öfen können diese Fasern freigesetzt werden. Luftgetragene, lungengängige Fasern können, abhängig von ihren Abmessungen, ein gesundheitsgefährdendes Potenzial besitzen. Aus diesem Grund ist die Entwicklung von Detektoren, die Fasern online klassifizieren können, von großem Interesse. Ein Ansatz dafür besteht in der Verwendung der Fraunhofertheorie zur Ermittlung der Faserabmessungen anhand des detektierten Streulichts der mit Laserlicht beleuchteten Faser. Abweichungen von der Fraunhofertheorie zur tatsächlichen Streulichtverteilung erforderten allerdings Referenzrechnungen mit einer exakten Methode.
Flame and Induction Hardening – An Advantageous Alternative to Case Hardening for Large Size Gears?
Authors: Cermak H. , Tobie T. , Stahl K.
Published: April 2022

Surface hardening is an economical and technological alternative to case hardening, especially for larger gear sizes. Due to the high carburization depths required for case hardening with large component dimensions and technological limitations (e. g. furnace size), typical surface hardening processes such as flame or induction hardening show advantages here.

In this publication, a flame-spin-hardened variant is compared with an induction-hardened variant using the gap-by-gap method. Both variants have a gear size of mn = 14 mm. A comparison is also made with a case-hardened, shot-peened reference variant of comparable size.

In the comparison, the chemical composition, microstructural properties, hardness-depth characteristics and experimental results of the tooth root bending strength tests on the pulsator test rig are presented, comparatively evaluated and discussed. The experimentally determined tooth root load carrying capacities of the two surface-hardened variants are then classified with the reference variant in the state of the art.
Filler words in Japanese textbooks and Japanese classes
Authors: Momose Minori
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study is to report differences in the use of filler words in Japanese language textbooks and provides examples. Filler words like “Ano(o),” “E(e),” “Ma(a),” and “De(e)” are used as fillers in Japanese conversation, but in Japanese language textbooks, they are not considered appropriate teaching items for actual use. Specifically, examples of filler-like usage that need to be adopted as teaching items include “Ano(o),” which appears commonly in the beginning or middle of sentences; “E(e)”,which is used in situations with a large number of listeners; “Ma(a),” which is used in response to questions; and “De”, which appears in the middle of sentences.
From graduate school to a successful employment in America: my story
Authors: Asola Eugene F.
Published: April 2022

The United States is regarded as the beacon of hope, education, and technology in the eyes of many students all over the world. Many aspiring young African students look up to educational opportunities provided in their countries for future careers. Unfortunately, when these opportunities are closed to young African students, they look at the advanced countries, especially the United States. Unbeknownst to these students, many of them face a myriad of challenges as they pursue their education. These may include absence of family, social unacceptance, and the inability of the individual to navigate the cultural terrain of their new environment. Subsequently, some of these problems can have lasting impact on African students’ psychological and social wellbeing. These problems, in the end, affect their respective careers. To a large measure, these problems reflect my personal experiences in colleges/schools of education.
Homotopic simulation for heat transport phenomenon of the Burgers nanofluids flow over a stretching cylinder with thermal convective and zero mass flux conditions

Published: April 2022

This study is focused to elaborate on the effect of heat source/sink on the flow of non-Newtonian Burger nanofluid toward the stretching sheet and cylinder. The current flow analysis is designed in the form of higher order nonlinear partial differential equations along with convective heat and zero mass flux conditions. Suitable similarity transformations are used for the conversion of higher order nonlinear partial differential equations into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. For the computation of graphical and tabular results, the most powerful analytical technique, known as the homotopy analysis method, is applied to the resulting higher order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The consequence of distinct flow parameters on the Burger nanofluid velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles are determined and debated in a graphical form. The key outcomes of this study are that the Burger nanofluid parameter and Deborah number have reduced the velocity of the Burger nanofluid for both the stretching sheet and cylinder. Also, it is attained that the Burger nanofluid temperature is elevated with the intensifying of thermal Biot number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. The Burger nanofluid concentration becomes higher with the escalating values of Brownian motion parameter and Lewis number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. The Nusselt number of the Burger nanofluid upsurges due to the increment of thermal Biot number for both stretching sheet and cylinder. Also, the different industrial and engineering applications of this study were obtained. The presented model can be used for a variety of industrial and engineering applications such as biotechnology, electrical engineering, cooling of devices, nuclear reactors, mechanical engineering, pharmaceutical science, bioscience, medicine, cancer treatment, industrial-grid engines, automobiles, and many others.
Human serum albumin in neurodegeneration
Authors: Shojai Sajjad , Haeri Rohani Seyed-Ali , Moosavi-Movahedi Ali Akbar , Habibi-Rezaei Mehran
Published: April 2022

Serum albumin (SA) exists in relatively high concentrations, in close contact with most cells. However, in the adult brain, except for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), SA concentration is relatively low. It is mainly produced in the liver to serve as the main protein of the blood plasma. In the plasma, it functions as a carrier, chaperon, antioxidant, source of amino acids, osmoregulator, etc. As a carrier, it facilitates the stable presence and transport of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules, including free fatty acids, steroid hormones, medicines, and metal ions. As a chaperon, SA binds to and protects other proteins. As an antioxidant, thanks to a free sulfhydryl group (–SH), albumin is responsible for most antioxidant properties of plasma. These functions qualify SA as a major player in, and a mirror of, overall health status, aging, and neurodegeneration. The low concentration of SA is associated with cognitive deterioration in the elderly and negative prognosis in multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). SA has been shown to be structurally modified in neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). During blood–brain barrier damage albumin enters the brain tissue and could trigger epilepsy and neurodegeneration. SA is able to bind to the precursor agent of the AD, amyloid-beta (Aβ), preventing its toxic effects in the periphery, and is being tested for treating this disease. SA therapy may also be effective in brain rejuvenation. In the current review, we will bring forward the prominent properties and roles of SA in neurodegeneration.
Lexical restrictions on grammatical relations in voice and valency constructions
Authors: van Lier Eva , Messerschmidt Maria
Published: April 2022

This paper introduces the topic and the contributions of this special issue. While lexical restrictions are well-studied for grammatical relations defining argument coding (case marking and indexation), they are also common with voice and valency constructions, be they morphologically coded or not. The paper defines relevant terms and sketches the development of current usage-based approaches to lexical restrictions, in reaction to earlier lexicalist and constructional approaches. It then reviews existing studies of lexical restrictions on valency-preserving and valency-changing constructions, drawing connections with the other papers in this issue. In closing, it recommends further corpus-based cross-linguistic research of lexical restrictions.
Double causatives, lability and elusive agent in Mehweb
Authors: Daniel Michael
Published: April 2022

In this paper, I consider double causatives in Mehweb, a one village language spoken in Daghestan, Russia, and belonging to the Dargwa branch of East Caucasian. The capability of stacking two causative suffixes seems to be lexically restricted, and mapping onto verbal meanings that are typically P-labile in the languages of the family. Interestingly, the verbs allowing double causatives are not morphosyntactically labile in Mehweb, which is generally poor in labile verbs as compared to sister languages. I conclude that the ability to form double causatives is not a consequence of the morphosyntactic property of being labile; rather, both morphosyntactic properties follow from the same component of the lexical semantics of these verbs and ultimately from the properties of the situational concepts they convey. As a tentative functional explanation I suggest that the relevant property is the weakened status of the agentive participant.
Semantic typology of voice systems in Western Malayo-Polynesian languages
Authors: Utsumi Atsuko
Published: April 2022

Western Malayo-Polynesian (WMP) languages exhibit inner diversity with regard to voice systems. While some lack verbal morphology encoding voice alternations, others demonstrate so-calledsymmetrical voicealternations. This paper discusses the internal typological grouping within the latter classification of languages, which are further categorized as being either Indonesian-type and Philippine-type. There are, however, certain languages that do not exhibit all the criteria of either category, but do displaysymmetrical voicealternations. These languages can be viewed as having ‘transitional’ features. With a focus on two languages from Indonesia, this paper aims to provide a new semantic perspective for describing one of these transitional features by examining voice alternations and categorizing the languages as having either aderivational voice systemor aninflectional voice system.

What is the Most Important Source for Teachers’ Knowledge Development? A Meta-Analysis of 27 Empirical Studies on the Sources of Teachers’ Knowledge
Authors: Zhao Dongchen , Fan Lianghuo
Published: April 2022

Studying the sources of teachers' knowledge and the importance of different sources is of great significance to promote the development of teachers' knowledge. This paper systematically analyzes 27 empirical studies on the sources of teachers’ knowledge in China and abroad in the past two decades or so in terms of methods and findings. The results show that the in-service experience of teachers contains more important sources than the preservice education and primary and secondary education. Teacher's experience and reflection, and exchanges with colleagues are the most important sources of teachers’ knowledge development. Educational internships and practicums are the most important sources of teachers’ knowledge during their preservice education, while other sources have no significant effect. The usefulness of teachers’ knowledge sources is affected by variables such as knowledge category, subject, education stage and shows a certain degree of individual differences. The above results confirm the importance of teachers’ practice, reflection, collaboration and exchange and indicate the necessity of improving preservice education. In terms of methods, it merits recommendation for future researchers in this area to use single-category-focused and topic-focused knowledge frameworks, more specific knowledge source frameworks, multiple ways of data collection, random selection of research subjects, and inferential statistical analysis. In addition, further studies should also look into the psychological and social-cultural mechanisms of teachers’ knowledge development as well as the sources of teachers’ knowledge.
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA): An Innovative Approach for Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Authors: Zhou Longjun
Published: April 2022

Educational research has long used quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis is the process of quantifying things through the use of numbers, which represent quantifiable characteristics of things such as scale, speed, and degree, as well as the spatial arrangement of their constituents (Yang, 1995). Qualitative analysis is the polar opposite, i.e., evaluating things on the basis of their quality rather than their quantity. A thing's quality refers to its normative nature, which distinguishes it from other things (Li, 1997). Simply put, quantitative analysis focuses on the "what" and employs numerical expressions to depict a given reality, whereas qualitative analysis aims to comprehend the "why" and investigates how we describe something.

Published: April 2022

The present study aims to contribute to the literature about written corrective feedback (WCF) by addressing two under-researched aspects: on the one hand, making a comparison of models and reformulation as to their effect in noticing and incorporation of linguistic features in learners’ revised drafts; on the other hand, exploring the use of these WCF types by a group of 28 primary school learners (11–12 years old) engaged in collaborative writing. Language related episodes occurring during collaborative work and learners’ written output were examined at three different times: (i) before being given any feedback; (ii) immediately after being provided with models or reformulations; and (iii) a month later. Results show few significant differences but clear trends as to the different effect of models and reformulations on learners’ subsequent drafts.

Moral Panik (Törel Türkü) Kavramı ve Medya: “İsimsizler, Söz Ve Savaşçı” Dizi Örnekleri
Authors: ZAİMOĞLU Gönül
Published: April 2022

Moral panik toplumun sapkın olarak nitelendirdiği davranışların yaygınlaşması neticesinde bu davranışları sergileyen kişi ve gruplara karşı gösterilen tepkiler olarak nitelendirilebilir. Bir toplumda uzun süreden beri var olan huzursuzlukların zirve yaptığı dönemlerde toplumu saran endişeler de paralel olarak artar ve bu endişeler aynı dönemlerde moral paniğe neden olur. Bunun yanı sıra sokak eylemleri, intiharlar, terör saldırıları gibi olaylar aynı şekilde toplumda endişenin yükselmesine neden olur. Bu endişe arttığında yasama, yürütme ve yargı güçleri toplumda endişeye neden olan durumun ortadan kaldırılması için bir dizi yasal düzenlemelere yapar. Ayrıca medya aracılığıyla da endişeye neden olan durum yeniden ve yeniden sunularak bu yasal düzenlemeler ve ilave tedbirler için zemin oluşturur. Medya bunu aynı dönemlerde haber, tartışma programı, film, dizi vb. içeriklerle moral paniğe neden olan unsurları gündemde tutarak yapar. Çalışmada moral panik kavramının anlaşılması adına dünyadan örnekler verilmiş, bu örnekler neticesinde moral paniğin nasıl egemen güçlerin kullandığı bir araca dönüştüğü vurgulanmıştır.Çalışmada önce moral panik kuramsal olarak örnekleriyle ele alınmış, daha sonra 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi sonrasında oluşan atmosferin medya içeriklerine yansıması televizyon dizileri örneği üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında aynı yıl yayına başlayan üç dizinin ilk iki bölümü moral panik kuramı çerçevesinde (İsimsizler, Söz, Savaşçı) söylem analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. İncelenen diziler birbirine yakın tarihlerde yayına başlamış olması dönemin atmosferi ile yakından ilgili olduğu düşünülmektedir. Her üç dizi de televizyonda altın saatler olarak tabir edilen zaman diliminde yayınlanmıştır. İncelenen dizilerde kullanılan söylem ve bu söylem aracılığıyla inşa edilen ideolojinin egemen söylemle örtüşmekte olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu durum moral paniğin belli davranış ve eylemlerin dışlanmasında olduğu kadar hangi davranış ve eylemlerin onaylandığını belirlemede de etkili olduğu sonucunu doğurmaktadır.
