Mobilising tofā sa’ili for ECE leadership: A talanoa confronting dominant conceptualisations from a Pasifika perspective
Authors: Cooper Maria , Matapo Jacoba
Published: December 2021

Leadership is about all of us, but dominant frames of leadership serve only a few. In this commentary, we challenge the dominance of Western notions of leadership as linear influence relationships in order to shift Pasifika engagement from the margins. For us, ta’ita’i (Pasifika leadership) is centred on serving, not the self, but the collective spirit. It is expansive, holistic, and grounded in reciprocal relationships between people, nature, the cosmos and those of the past, present, and future. Looking back to the teachings of our families and ancestors can guide us in leading communities with strength, unity, and connection. Rather than deny the legitimate place of Western notions of leadership or romanticise ideas of Pasifika leadership, through talanoa (open talk), we mobilise tofā sa’ili (a search for wisdom and meaning) by engaging with traditional Pasifika cultural values and philosophies that hold significance for leadership in early childhood education in Aotearoa New Zealand. In doing so, we hope to open up pathways of thinking that move us beyond individualistic framings of leadership, while honouring Pasifika ways of knowing and being in serving the collective.
Challenges facing a Māori prison education leader
Authors: Te Pere Mereana , Stewart Georgina
Published: December 2021

Māori are severely over-represented in the prison population of Aotearoa New Zealand, making up over half of all prisoners, despite being only about 15% of the national population. These Māori statistics are well-known, and support racist perceptions of Māori in general. There is substantial literature on Māori imprisonment in Criminology and related fields, but it mostly focuses on ‘fixing’ the prisoner. Prison education is a neglected topic in extant educational research. Little research exists on the experiences of those who work in prisons, and little or none about the experiences of Māori prison educators. Prison education focuses on changing behaviours that lead to offending and helping prisoners to gain work and life skills. But security concerns and managing the prison population take precedence and restrict the availability and priority given to education. The recent Hōkai Rangi strategy has generated enthusiasm, but has yet to translate into positive results.
Justice for leadership: (Re)versing the lyrics of ‘leadership for’ in education
Authors: Youngs Howard
Published: December 2021

Leadership for justice, leadership for change, leadership for learning, leadership for institutions, and leadership for success. The leadership lyrics continue to resound, ‘leadership for’. What if leadership lyrics were reversed and re-versed? The world amply rewards leadership, not just leaders, to the extent where leadership may not only need some ontological reorientation, but more importantly, and as the focus of this commentary, some repositioning down the popular policy, research and practice charts. Justice for leadership starts with what is leadership and whether leadership has been unjustly promoted beyond where it should be? For leadership to become more oriented to wider issues of social justice in education, the issue of leadership popularism has to be addressed first through a possible (re)versing of meaning and application.

Purpose: The study assessed the effects of household food security on academic performance among pupils in Mukuru informal settlement, Nairobi County.

Methodology: The population of the study consisted of 7565 participants from Mukuru. Stratified, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to select a sample size of 205 respondents (100 children, 10 teachers and 85 parents from the study area, and 10 officials from the Ministry of Education), who responded to the households access to food in Mukuru informal settlement, factors hindering the attainment of households food security, effect of household food security on academic performance of pupils. A descriptive research survey was conducted, using a mixed method. Data collected were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Correlation analysis and regression analysis were used to determine the relationships and significance between variables.

Results:The key finding indicated that there is a strong positive relation between the effects of food security and academic performance; it established a positive association between the variables with a significance ‘‘R’’ value of .635 and a coefficient of determination R square of 0.404.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: From the findings, some recommendations were made, for the government to formulate policies that would help improve food security so as to reduce its effects on pupils’ academic performance, also creation of jobs to increase employment which would offer people opportunities to raise their income.
CIÊNCIA CIDADÃ E A SUSTENTABILIDADE
Authors: Nunes Gabrielle , Magro Lindenkamp Teresa Cristina
Published: December 2021

No Brasil, o turismo baseado na natureza ocorre frequentemente dentro de unidades de conservação (UC) que permitem o uso público recreativo. Embora esse tipo de turismo tenha surgido na expectativa de ser uma modalidade que gerasse menos impactos socioambientais, efeitos negativos são descritos na literatura, evidenciando algumas lacunas em relação à gestão, pesquisa e participação pública no fornecimento deste tipo de atividade. Este artigo traz uma análise do panorama desta temática, com foco nas potencialidades de se integrar perspectivas participativas como a ciência cidadã no planejamento do uso público recreativo em UC. Esta integração pode viabilizar o caminho para um turismo mais sustentável ou instigar novas modalidades dentro do turismo de natureza, com atores cientes do território que visitam e dos impactos gerados pela sua presença. Assim, a premissa de que o envolvimento das pessoas perpassa pelo reconhecimento dos territórios está presente em nossa abordagem, viabilizando o monitoramento turístico nas UC e sendo fator de geração de renda local, pesquisa e consciência ambiental. Por isso, inserir uma ferramenta participativa como a Ciência Cidadã, pode beneficiar os aspectos de gestão, do produto turístico, atores envolvidos, acelerar a pesquisa científica e a conservação do meio ambiente.

El objetivo principal es el análisis de un evento folklórico tradicional que integra el paisaje cultural de un territorio. Para ello, se ha elegido las fiestas de Moros y Cristianos de Crevillent (Alicante, España), Ontinyent (Valencia, España) y Los historiantes en la República de El Salvador. Los conceptos clave de esta investigación obedecen a cuatro variables que conforman el eje de este trabajo: paisaje cultural, evento folklórico, reforzamiento identitario en migrantes e influencia de la variable género. Estos se abordan a partir de la revisión teórica sobre paisaje cultural, identidad, folklore y sincretismo cultural desde la perspectiva de la intrahistoria unamuniana para, posteriormente, analizarlas a través de los datos obtenidos en las entrevistas semi-estructuradas realizadas. Como principal resultado destaca cómo la participación activa en las actividades festeras incrementa y refuerza el sentido identitario de pertenencia a la comunidad y la importancia que esto tiene para la convivencia de culturas diferentes.

Guidelines for the implementation of transnational nursing education : a collective case study approach of institutional perspectives and practices
Authors:   , Naidoo Vasanthrie
Published: December 2021

Background In recent times, the internationalization of nursing education and the collaboration with international academic partners has become a priority of academic institutions’ strategic plans and visions. This coupled with the fact that the world has entered a critical period in terms of addressing health and preparing nurses to address health needs has made this study timeous. In view of these historical challenges, nursing education institutions, nursing colleges and universities with nursing faculties in South Africa have, in recent years, engaged in international partnerships. These collaborative partnerships have influenced the delivery and facilitation of transnational nursing education (TNE) or cross-border nursing programmes, both nationally and internationally. Challenges raised with regards to TNE delivery systems are often related to issues revolving around academic design and implementation. Further issues such as the differences between the host institution’s general goals, the academic programs, student characteristics and social and cultural dimensions as compared to the awarding institution, add to these challenges. Aim The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives and practices and experiences of nursing education institutions, academic leaders and graduates, who were involved in TNE. Based on the findings of this study, the ultimate aim was to develop guidelines for the implementation of TNE in NEIs. Methodology A qualitative multiple case-study approach was employed to explore institutional perspectives and practices related to TNE. The population comprised nursing education institutions, academic leaders and nursing graduates that were involved in TNE programs. In order to draw comparison between South African TNE practices and perspectives with international best operating practices relating to TNE, other global academic leaders and institutions involved in this type of education were invited to participate in the study. Institutional records were analysed for descriptions and patterns related to conceptual issues, structures and processes that are known to impact either negatively or positively on TNE. Results The study findings revealed that access to ‘importing’ and ‘exporting’ of nursing programs are still faced with many challenges by all stakeholders. It was also revealed that the lack of guidance during TNE ventures allude to cross-border nursing education being a ‘for profit’ arrangement. From the findings the researcher was able to propose and develop guidelines for the implementation of TNE for nursing education institutions, academic leaders and students. It is hoped that these guidelines will be considered as a tool to improve TNE delivery in terms of quality assurance, accreditation, registration, and qualification recognition.
Investigation of acute systemic inflammatory response and myocardial injury after cardiac surgery in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus
Authors:   , Gojo Mawande Khayalethu Edson
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The immediate post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) immune responses and organ injuries in immune- compromised patients remain poorly documented. We conducted a prospective clinical study to determine whether or not human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive patients generate higher acute systemic inflammatory response and suffer greater myocardial injury, compared to HIV seronegative patients. Methodology: Sixty-one consecutive patients i.e. Thirty HIV seropositive patients and Thirty-one seronegative, undergoing elective cardiac valve(s) replacement were enrolled, over a period of nine months from a single center hospital, after informed consent was acquired. The C-reactive protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were used as biomarkers of acute inflammatory response, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as a biomarker for measuring postoperative myocardial injury. Single tests were measured preoperatively and postoperatively, in both groups, and these were compared and correlated to perioperative events and CPB parameters. Results: The mean age group was similar between the HIV seropositive and negative group (37.8 and 37.1 years, respectively). Preoperatively both groups had relatively equal CRP levels (p=0.388), ESR levels (p=0.817) and cTnI (p=0.489). The CPB events and durations were significantly different between the two groups, CPB duration (p=0.021). Other CPB events include, clamp aortic duration (p=0.026), CPB blood transfusion (p=0.013), CPB total urine output (p=0.035) and CPB peak lactate (p=0.040). Postoperatively we observed significant increased biomarkers level in both groups, with no significant difference between the groups: mean CRP (p=0.115), mean ESR (p=0.214) and cTnI (p=0.363). We observed a significant negative correlation between the mean change in CRP levels and mechanical ventilation (r=- 0.548, p=0.002) in the seropositive group, but not in the uninfected group (r=0.025, p=0.893). The correlation between the difference in CRP and ICU stay was not significant between in both group (r=-0.231, p=0.229 and r=0.25, p=0.975, respectively). A significant positive correlation between postoperative cTnI and the inotropic support duration (r=0.384, p=0.040) was seen in the seropositive groups, but not in the negative group (r=0.092, p=0.622). Furthermore we observed a significant drop in CD4 cells postoperatively (p=<0.001) in the HIV seropositive group. Antiretroviral treatment appeared to influence the degree of change in CD4 cells postoperatively. Conclusion: We conclude that HIV positive patients’ postoperative reactions to cardiac surgery supported by CPB are similar to those of HIV seronegetive patients. We further report non-paralleling correlations between the biomarkers and perioperative events; however these do not seem to affect the overall outcomes between the two groups.

Tangkup Village has an area of 2,667 Km2, most of which is in the form of rice fields. The natural tourism potential of Tangkup Village is a rice field area located in Tangkup Anyar, a watershed located in Tangkup Desa area, and green hills that surround the village. Cultural potential in the form of cagcag woven cloth which is a typical product of Tangkup, traditional snacks called jaje tulud, tipat pesor and sangait. In other places, sangait is made from sweet potatoes, Sangait in Tangkup village is made from cassava which is widely grown by local people. However, in the process of developing this snack product, it encountered obstacles related to the dough that did not support the process of design tulud cakes with coconut shells. Even though the community wants to develop jaja tulud, the tools used should not be replaced. Because of these difficulties, not many residents survive to make jaja tulud which is usually used for ceremonial needs. Regarding its function as a typical snack, students want to develop this snack so that it can be of economic value and accepted by tourists through a more elegant presentation. Students are actively involved in the preparation for the formation of Pokdarwis so that the direction of village development is towards a managed and directed tourism village. So far, the potential management of Tangkup Village is still being handled independently by utilizing the land owned, especially those located near watersheds, in the form of cafes, rafting, Asta Gangga Park attractions and bamboo houses that are being built as tourist facilities on the hill. The village hopes that students will help generate the tourism potential of Tangkup Village, so that it is widely known and visitors enjoy the beauty of this beautiful fertile village through the preparation of local human resources to welcome Tangkup village which will soon become a tourist village.
Bergson ja naurun yhteisöllinen jännite
Authors: Telivuo Julius
Published: December 2021

Artikkelissa selvitetään Henri Bergsonin nauruteoriaa teoksessa Nauru ja arvioidaan sen merkitystä osana Bergsonin filosofiaa yleisemmin. Lisäksi artikkelissa täydennetään Bergsonin nauruteoriaa Gilles Deleuzen, Baruch Spinozan ja Friedrich Nietzschen ajatusten pohjalta. Bergson analysoi teoksessa komiikan synnyttämää naurua ja näkee tämän elämän reaktiona sitä kangistavia taipumuksia vastaan. Elämän luovan mukautumisen ja sen kangistumisen välisestä jännitteestä käytetään artikkelissa nimitystä ”koominen jännite”. Nauru on Bergsonin mukaan olennaisesti inhimillinen ja yhteisöllinen ilmiö, joka huomauttaa jäsenilleen yhteisön elämän kannalta haitallisista poikkeamista. Komiikka on tämän korjaustoiminnon kehittyneempi muoto, ja artikkelissa esitelläänkin myös Bergsonin esteettistä teoriaa. Taiteen tehtävänä on Bergsonin mukaan avata välittömiä näkymiä todellisuuden piirteisiin, jotka jäävät arkisissa havainnoissamme huomaamatta. Komiikalla on myös tällainen paljastava luonne, mutta se on yhteisöllisen korjausliikkeen palveluksessa. Bergsonin nauruteorian omaperäisenä ansiona on sen dynaaminen lähestymistapa komiikkaan, joka tuo esiin naurun yhteisöllisen luonteen. Lähestymistapa on monipuolisempi ja kattavampi kuin useimmat filosofiset ja psykologiset teoriat naurusta ja komiikasta, jotka keskittyvät muodollisiin määritelmiin ja subjektiiviseen kokemukseen. Artikkelissa ehdotetaan kuitenkin kolmea korjausta Bergsonin teoriaan. Teoriaa pitää täydentää komiikan ajoituksen, laajemman naurukäsityksen ja koomisen jännitteen perustavamman merkityksen osalta. Nämä täydennykset pohjautuvat erityisesti Gilles Deleuzen ajatukseen huumorista intensiteettien taiteena. Lisäksi koomisen jännitteen tarkempaa luonnetta kartoitetaan Spinozan ja Nietzschen ajatusten kautta. Spinozan ajattelusta löytyy jäsennys naurun myönteiselle roolille. Nietzsche taas hahmottelee naurulle laajempaa merkitystä, jossa yhdistyvät Bergsonin esteettiset teemat sekä naurun suhde elinvoiman edistämiseen ja rajoittamiseen.
Hitauden sietämisestä
Authors: Pekkanen Reetta
Published: December 2021

Silloin, kun kirjoittaminen ei ole löytämistä, se on hitauden sietämistä. Tietämättömyyden, turhautumisen ja merkityksettömyyden sitkeää sietämistä.

Suurin osa muistiinpanoista ja merkinnöistä ei johda mihinkään. Nekään havainnot, jotka myöhemmin päätyvät osaksi kirjallista koko­naisuutta, eivät välttämättä tunnu löytymisensä hetkellä olennaisilta.

Tarvitaan aikaa, sillä ajalla on kyky saattaa asioita toistensa yhteyteen. Aika rakentaa taivaat. Se, missä asennossa kappaleet toisiinsa nähden ovat, miltä etäisyydeltä ja miten ne toisiaan valottavat, voi olla niiden elinkelpoisuuden kannalta ratkaisevaa. Rivit, jotka yksinään vaikuttavat kuolleilta, alkavatkin toistensa lähellä värehtiä.

Jos merkitystä syntyy, se syntyy kuin tyhjästä. Siitä missä ei ole sanoja, mitään. Siinä välissä mahtuu olemaan ja kehittymään,se millä on väliä.
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement – Avoiding runaway CaCO3 precipitation during quick and hydrated lime dissolution
Authors: Moras Charly Andre , Bach Lennart Thomas , Cyronak Tyler , Joannes-Boyau Renaud , Schulz Kai Georg
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) has been proposed as a method to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and to counteract ocean acidification. It involves the dissolution of alkaline minerals such as quick lime, CaO, and hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2. However, a critical knowledge gap exists regarding their dissolution in natural seawater. Particularly, how much can be dissolved before secondary precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) occurs is yet to be established. Secondary precipitation should be avoided as it reduces the atmospheric CO2 uptake potential of OAE. Here we show that both CaO and Ca(OH)2 powders (> 63 µm of diameter) dissolved in seawater within a few hours. However, CaCO3 precipitation, in the form of aragonite, occurred at a saturation (ΩAr) threshold of about 5. This limit is much lower than what would be expected for typical pseudo-homogeneous precipitation in the presence of colloids and organic materials. Secondary precipitation at unexpectedly low ΩAr was the result of so-called heterogeneous precipitation onto mineral phases, most likely onto CaO and Ca(OH)2 prior to full dissolution. Most importantly, this led to runaway CaCO3 precipitation by which significantly more alkalinity (TA) was removed than initially added, until ΩAr reached levels below 2. Such runaway precipitation would reduce the CO2 uptake efficiency from about 0.8 moles of CO2 per mole of TA down to only 0.1 mole of CO2 per mole of TA. Runaway precipitation appears to be avoidable by dilution below the critical ΩAr threshold of 5, ideally within hours of the addition to minimise initial CaCO3 precipitation. Finally, model considerations suggest that for the same ΩAr threshold, the amount of TA that can be added to seawater would be more than three times higher at 5 °C than at 30 °C, and that equilibration to atmospheric CO2 levels during mineral dissolution would further increase it by a factor of ~6 and ~3 respectively.
A new perspective on permafrost boundaries in France during the Last Glacial Maximum
Authors: Stadelmaier Kim H. , Ludwig Patrick , Bertran Pascal , Antoine Pierre , Shi Xiaoxu , Lohmann Gerrit , Pinto Joaquim G.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), a very cold and dry period around 26.5–19 kyr BP, permafrost was widespread across Europe. In this
work, we explore the possible benefit of using regional climate model data to
improve the permafrost representation in France, decipher how the
atmospheric circulation affects the permafrost boundaries in the models, and
test the role of ground thermal contraction cracking in wedge development
during the LGM. With these aims, criteria for possible thermal contraction
cracking of the ground are applied to climate model data for the first time.
Our results show that the permafrost extent and ground cracking regions
deviate from proxy evidence when the simulated large-scale circulation in both
global and regional climate models favours prevailing westerly winds. A
colder and, with regard to proxy data, more realistic version of the LGM climate
is achieved given more frequent easterly winds conditions. Given the
appropriate forcing, an added value of the regional climate model simulation
can be achieved in representing permafrost and ground thermal contraction
cracking. Furthermore, the model data provide evidence that thermal
contraction cracking occurred in Europe during the LGM in a wide latitudinal
band south of the probable permafrost border, in agreement with field data
analysis. This enables the reconsideration of the role of sand-wedge casts to
identify past permafrost regions.
Quantifying dating uncertainties in layer-counted paleoclimate proxy archives
Authors: Myrvoll-Nilsen Eirik , Riechers Keno , Rypdal Martin Wibe , Boers Niklas
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Paleoclimate proxy records have non-negligible uncertainties that arise from both the proxy measurement and the dating processes. Knowledge of the dating uncertainties is important for a rigorous propagation to further analyses; for example for identification and dating of stadial-interstadial transitions in Greenland ice core records during glacial intervals, for comparing the variability in different proxy archives, and for model-data comparisons in general. In this study we develop a statistical framework to quantify and propagate dating uncertainties in layer-counted proxy archives using the example of the Greenland Ice Core Chronology 2005 (GICC05). We express the number of layers per depth interval as the sum of a structured component that represents both underlying physical processes and biases in layer counting, described by a regression model, and a noise component that represents the fluctuations of the underlying physical processes, as well as unbiased counting errors. The age-depth relationship of the joint dating uncertainties can then be described by a multivariate Gaussian process from which realizations of the chronology can be sampled. We show how the effect of an unknown counting bias can be incorporated in our framework and present refined estimates of the occurrence times of Dansgaard-Oeschger events evidenced in Greenland ice cores together with a complete uncertainty quantification of these timings.
ML-TOMCAT: machine-learning-based satellite-corrected global stratospheric ozone profile data set from a chemical transport model
Authors: Dhomse Sandip S. , Arosio Carlo , Feng Wuhu , Rozanov Alexei , Weber Mark , Chipperfield Martyn P.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. High-quality stratospheric ozone profile data sets are a key
requirement for accurate quantification and attribution of long-term
ozone changes. Satellite instruments provide stratospheric ozone
profile measurements over typical mission durations of 5–15 years.
Various methodologies have then been applied to merge and homogenise
the different satellite data in order to create long-term
observation-based ozone profile data sets with minimal data gaps.
However, individual satellite instruments use different measurement
methods, sampling patterns and retrieval algorithms which complicate
the merging of these different data sets. In contrast, atmospheric
chemical models can produce chemically consistent long-term ozone
simulations based on specified changes in external forcings, but they
are subject to the deficiencies associated with incomplete
understanding of complex atmospheric processes and uncertain
photochemical parameters. Here, we use chemically self-consistent output from the TOMCAT 3-D
chemical transport model (CTM) and a random-forest (RF) ensemble
learning method to create a merged 42-year (1979–2020) stratospheric
ozone profile data set (ML-TOMCAT V1.0). The underlying CTM
simulation was forced by meteorological reanalyses, specified trends
in long-lived source gases, solar flux and aerosol variations. The RF
is trained using the Stratospheric Water and OzOne Satellite
Homogenized (SWOOSH) data set over the time periods of the Microwave
Limb Sounder (MLS) from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS)
(1991–1998) and Aura (2005–2016) missions. We find that ML-TOMCAT
shows excellent agreement with available independent satellite-based
data sets which use pressure as a vertical coordinate (e.g. GOZCARDS,
SWOOSH for non-MLS periods) but weaker agreement with the data sets
which are altitude-based (e.g. SAGE-CCI-OMPS, SCIAMACHY-OMPS). We
find that at almost all stratospheric levels ML-TOMCAT ozone
concentrations are well within uncertainties of the observational data
sets. The ML-TOMCAT (V1.0) data set is ideally suited for the
evaluation of chemical model ozone profiles from the tropopause to 0.1 hPa and is freely available via

University of Warsaw Lagrangian Cloud Model (UWLCM) 2.0: Adaptation of a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian numerical model for heterogeneous computing clusters
Authors: Dziekan Piotr , Zmijewski Piotr
Published: December 2021

Abstract. A numerical cloud model with Lagrangian particles coupled to an Eulerian flow is adapted for distributed memory systems. Eulerian and Lagrangian calculations can be done in parallell on CPUs and GPUs, respectively. Scaling efficiency and the amount of parallelization of CPU and GPU calculations both exceed 50 % for up to 40 nodes. A sophisticated Lagrangian microphysics model slows down simulation by only 50 % compared to a simplistic bulk microphysics model, thanks to the use of GPUs. Overhead of communications between cluster nodes is mostly related to the pressure solver. Presented method of adaptation for computing clusters can be used in any numerical model with Lagrangian particles coupled to an Eulerian fluid flow.
Monitor and control test room for investigating thermal performance of panels incorporating phase-change material
Authors: Othmen Marwa , Bahri Radwen , Najar Slaheddine , Hannachi Ahmed
Published: December 2021

Abstract. This article aims to present equipment designed and
developed to study the effective thermal conductivity of composite panels.
The composite panel used is a rigid polyurethane foam covered with a layer
of aluminum on both sides. The panel is mounted in the test chamber
equipped with several sensors and actuators connected via an Arduino
platform. Tests have been carried out by applying heat to impose
various interior temperatures. Sensors at different locations are used to
monitor and record temperatures in and around the composite panel during
heating and natural cooling. A model, based on the Fourier equations of
thermal conduction and natural convection heat transfer for the
steady state, was developed to assess the effective thermal conductivity.
The performance of the system was confirmed using temperature signals
through the panels for thermal characterization of composite materials. The
determined effective thermal conductivity obtained was in agreement with the
experimental values reported in the technical data sheets with relative
deviations of less than 10 %.
INSYDE-BE: Adaptation of the INSYDE model to the Walloon Region (Belgium)

Published: December 2021

Abstract. The spatial transfer of flood damage models among regions and countries is a challenging but unavoidable approach, for performing flood risk assessments in data and model scarce regions. In these cases, similarities and differences between the contexts of application should be considered to obtain reliable damage estimations and, in some cases, the adaptation of the original model to the new conditions is required. This study exemplifies a replicable procedure for the adaptation to the Belgian context of a multi-variable, synthetic flood damage model for the residential sector originally developed for Italy (INSYDE). The study illustrates necessary amendments in model assumptions, especially regarding input default values for the hazard and building parameters and damage functions describing the modelled damage mechanisms.
Felipe Delgado, otro de los Robinsones
Authors: Sanjinés C. Javier
Published: December 2021

Robinson Crusoe, the extraordinary ship-wrecked protagonist of Defoe’s novel, is actually a modern transfiguration of the old myth of the “savage man,” a myth that this article revisits. Robinson is brought by Defoe into a savage existence because the author intends to demonstrate that it is possible to defeat savagery in one’s own land, turning Robinson into the virtuous and modern homo economicus. But there are other Robinsons that challenge the original: that of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the urban Robinson, conceived in novelistic form by Antonio Muñoz Molina. Both serve as models for my reading of Felipe Delgado as a novel that exemplifies the marginal Robinson. As happens to some of the characters in Antonio Muñoz Molina’s novels, the Bolivian poet and novelist Jaime Saenz creates an urban, marginalized and eccentric Robinson that, unlike the previous mentioned, without a rational goal motivating him, secretly celebrates his incurable shipwrecks. Felipe is the Robinson born out of the lucid necessity of alcohol. Clairvoyant and repentant of his future, he is born for the night, a space and time that permits him to delve into the heart of the memory of his city.
Book Review: Emmanuel Alloa, Frank Chouraqui, and Rajiv Kaushik (eds.), Merleau-Ponty and Contemporary Philosophy (Albany: SUNY Press, 2019)
Authors: Day Jason K.
Published: December 2021

Merleau-Ponty and Contemporary Philosophy is an ambitious collected volume of fourteen chapters, accompanied by an epilogue by Jean-Luc Nancy, in which current Merleau-Ponty scholars together aim to demonstrate the urgent relevance of Merleau-Ponty to contemporary philosophy across a range of fields including ontology, epistemology, anthropology, embodiment, animality, politics, language, aesthetics, and art. Divided into four thematic sections, namely, “Legacies”, “Mind and Nature”, “Politics, Power, and Institution” and “Art and Aesthetics”, this collected volume provides a rich resource for Merleau-Ponty scholars who are interested in novel applications and understudied aspects of his thought. It also opens up Merleau-Ponty’s oeuvre to the general reader, presenting many possible entry-ways into the diversity of his work. In my review of Merleau-Ponty and Contemporary Philosophy, I suggest that each of its thematic sections could have been the subject of a separate volume themselves, and that the volume would then perhaps have not suffered from a number of poorly developed lines of argumentation. But I consider that the inclusion of all these thematically diverse sections in a single volume nonetheless presents a forceful display of the wide-ranging relevance of Merleau-Ponty’s work to contemporary philosophy.
Making Sense of History with Paul Ricœur and Jan Patočka: From the Past, In the Present, Toward the Future
Authors: Vendra Maria Cristina Clorinda
Published: December 2021

Paul Ricœur and Jan Patočka are considered among the most important phenomenologists of the 20th century. As with Ricœur, Patočka’s philosophy is shaped by an enduring critical confrontation with Husserl’s phenomenology and Heidegger’s phenomenological analyses of Dasein. The present paper aims at analyzing Ricœur’s and Patočka’s convergences and mutual inspirations in their perspectives on the topic of history. More precisely, I will take up the question of the meaning of history in Ricœur and Patočka as profoundly influenced by their readings of Husserl’s Krisis. Then, the attention will be turned to Ricœur’s concept of historicity and Patočka’s notion of care of the soul as concerns involved in the search for meaning in history as an open-ended mediation. In this context, I will discuss Ricœur’s and Patočka’s critical examination of Heidegger’s conception of thrownness (Geworfenheit) and projection (Entwerfen), that is, Dasein’s already-being-in-the-world and its disclosedness, as necessary concepts for understanding their own philosophical approaches to history.

TMJ dysfunction from a myofunctional prospective
Authors: Stack Brendan , Funt Lawerence
Published: December 2021

Beginning with its founding at the start of this century by Edward H. Angle, the orthodontic profession's primary concern for its first forty years was the relationship of teeth. Orthodontists' efforts were directed towards how the teeth interdigitated. Since the early 1940's, due to the influence of Doctors Tweed, Brodie, Steiner, Margolis, etc., emphasis has been placed upon the effects of orthodontics on the patient's profile, and the profession was then concerned with both esthetics and tooth function. There are two final areas into which the bulk of the orthodontic profession has yet to move, and they are the areas of the temporomandibular joint myofunctional therapy. Orthodontists must now begin to incorporate TMJ function and the results of myofunctional therapy into their thinking and into their treatment plans and realize the effect they have upon improving the skeletal muscle, neurology and physiology of the patient's face as well as his facial esthetics and the cuspal interdigitation of his teeth. The dental profession as a whole must not only realize the role myofunctional therapy has in attaining these goals, but the role it plays in maintaining their subsequent stability.
Norms for orbicularis oris muscular strength for normal swallowing children in grades three thru six
Authors: Baskervill R
Published: December 2021

Summary and Discussion: Subjects were used for establishing norms for labial strength. The group consisted of 114 NRSP subjects, all of whom were elementary school children in grades 3-6. The data of the 114 NRSP subjects shows the mean labial strength as being 4.45 lbs. There also appears to be some support for using the labial strength measurements as part of the diagnostic criteria for identifying the presence of reverse swallowing patterns (RSP). In addition, it is suggested that a measurement level well below the normative mean can be used successfully while a measurement of 4 lbs. and above could represent normal labial pressure. This procedure is strongly suggested in as much as most assessment presently utilized in determining the presence and/or absence of RSP have been essentially subjective observations. If the procedure mentioned herein is utilized, at least one objective measurement can be used along with the subjective observations. This writer feels that labial strength can be used along with the traditional observations for the successful diagnosis of RSP.
Coin finds from Tilurium
Authors: Tončinić Domagoj , Pavlović Ana
Published: December 2021

Preliminary analysis of coin finds from the area of the Roman legionary fortress at Tilurium (today the village of Gardun, near Trilj) is presented in this paper. The scholarly analysis encompasses the finds yielded by systematic archaeological excavations, as well as finds today stored in the Museum of the Cetina Region, in Sinj. Most of the coin finds date to a period from the first half of the 1st century AD, with a noticeable reduction in coin supply starting in the second half of the 1st century and continuing during the 2nd century. The period of the 3rd century, and the period of late antiquity, in the 4th and 5th centuries, again shows some increase, but the quantity of coin finds in these centuries is smaller than the amount pertaining to the period of the Principate. The dating of numismatic finds therefore largely overlaps with the dating of Tilurium as a Roman legionary fortress and then a fort used by auxiliary contingents.
Prisciliano y el vegetarianismo: un estudio crítico a la luz de las fuentes
Authors: Serrano Madroñal Raúl
Published: December 2021

Existe un cierto consenso historiográfico a la hora de atribuir sin cuestionamiento a los priscilianistas la adopción de una dieta vegetariana. Sin embargo, tan solo contamos con cinco fuentes explícitas, exógenas y posteriores a la ejecución del heresiarca, que sostienen tal afirmación. Resulta obvio que los artículos de la fe católica condenaban a fines del siglo IV e inicios del siglo V la abstinencia de las carnes de las aves o de los animales siempre y cuando no se tratara simplemente de una práctica de mortificación y ascetismo. Partiendo de las informaciones de primera mano que había recibido de Ceretio, Consencio y Orosio, Agustín de Hipona aseguraba que los priscilianistas evitaban el consumo de carne por asociarlo con ángeles malignos. El pontífice Vigilio denunciaba la misma situación mucho tiempo después, al igual que el Primer Concilio de Braga. Así pues, el artículo presente se constituye con el objetivo de profundizar en el presunto vegetarianismo de los priscilianistas, estableciendo un análisis crítico de las escasas fuentes atinentes.
Apuntes sobre la penetración del cristianismo en la Gallaecia a partir de cerámicas con simbología cristiana
Authors: Fernández Fernández Adolfo
Published: December 2021

A partir del s. IV el cristianismo, ya como religión oficial del Imperio, se difunde por diversas vías que incluyen la incorporación de su simbología sobre todo tipo de soportes muebles. Un fenómeno que irá in crescendo a medida que avancemos en el tiempo, especialmente durante el s. VI. Uno de los soportes más habituales va a ser la cerámica que incorporará todo tipo de simbología cristiana desde mediados del s. IV y que paulatinamente irá substituyendo a los motivos paganos de los siglos anteriores. La Gallaecia, especialmente sus ciudades y sus puertos serán permeables a estos nuevos influjos llegados desde lugares como el norte de África y el Mediterráneo oriental, gracias a su situación privilegiada en las rutas comerciales atlánticas. En este trabajo analizaremos evidencias cerámicas con simbología cristiana y sus contextos de aparición con el objetivo de visibilizar la penetración y la evolución del cristianismo y sus símbolos en la Gallaecia desde el s. IV al s. VII.
Effects of Motivation to The Performance of Manager-Focused Employees in Public and Private Sector Enterprises and a Research
Authors: Gümüş Sefer
Published: December 2021

In the enterprises, the fact that the employees are motivated well depends on their managers and the employees’ performance. Employees’ performance is supported through theories but the targets can be achieved by action. In managing the enterprises which continue their existence for attaining certain aims, it is quite important for them to be motivated in achieving success and efficiency. Motivation is a necessity. Its existence makes the enterprise reach its targets. Its absence vanquishes the enterprise from the market. The aim of using motivation factors is to make the employees be successful in all activity areas. In our study, it was elaborated on the motivation and performance differences of public and private sector enterprises, and it was seen that the motivation variables employed by the managers in different sectors display different performances by the managers in different sectors. Because of that this concept which has gained importance today in all areas and sectors involves economic and organizational factors which differ as to the enterprises ad play a role in the development of enterprises, these factors were elaborated in our research. In the name of examining the motivation and its factors, it was conducted a comparative practice based on the public and private sectors, and when the statistical results based on the data is considered, it was concluded that there is a significant difference. Motivation variables in the public sector have differences from the private sector in terms of practice and perception. When an examination is applied by including authority and laws and regulations, the mandatory practices harden the application of motivation factors and even make them impossible. It was concluded from this difference that motivation factors emerge a bit more in the public sector, but it was faced with problems in using them on behalf of the employee in practice. In our research, the survey method was used, and our study was analyzed in Statistics Program SPSS 17.0 medium. It was conducted the evaluation of the tables, and it was brought forward conclusions and recommendations. Keywords: Motivation, Motive, Need, behavior, Public, Private Sector
