Authors: Mayorga Luis Felipe Silva Pereira , Bhering Renata Cristina Campos , Hurtado Renata , Vanstreels Ralph Eric Thijl
Published: May 2020

We report four years (2012-2015) of consecutive observations of the same juvenile male Southern elephant seal along the coast Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil, identified based on scars of cookiecutter shark bites. In 2015 three bacteries were isolated from a recent lesion using routine methods of bacterial culture and identification, and a large number of barnacles were seen attached to the fur of other body regions, especially on the pelvic limbs and lower back. We collected 12 barnacles from different body areas, and identified all of them as Eared barnacles (Conchoderma aurita). Additionally, a sample of feces was obtained and analyzed through simple-flotation, revealing helminth eggs compatible with Contracaecum sp.

Annotation of Using Borehole Time-Lapse Gravity by Genetic Algorithm Inversion for Subsurface Modeling
Authors: Gunawan Indra , Wahyudi Eko Januari , Alawiyah Susanti , Kadir Wawan Gunawan Abdul , Fauzi Umar
Published: May 2020

We present the annotation to a genetic algorithm (GA) method for an inverse synthetic subsurface density model using surface and borehole time-lapse gravity data. The objective of the inversion is to find the boundaries of the object area and background, where one bit of the chromosome represents the densities. The model that was used in this paper was a simple homogeneous body anomaly and a simplified real water mass injection model in order to argue that the code is suitable for field modeling. We show the influences of the existence of borehole gravity data and location towards the inversion, where the result indicates that an additional good borehole location could increase the success rate up to 13.33% compared to without gravity borehole data for the simple model and up to 4.39% for the field model. The inversion produced the best results when the borehole positions were placed in a state of symmetry towards the body object's mass.

Authors: Haruna Abdulrahman , Shafiq Nasir , Ali Montasir Osman , Mohammed Musa , Haruna Sani
Published: May 2020

Energy performance in the construction industry is one of the significant features to be assessed in order to achieve sustainability in the built environment. There is a limited amount of literature on the analytical network process (ANP) in achieving sustainability towards reducing embodied energy. The aim of this study was to achieve buildings with less embodied energy through design, construction techniques and automation using ANP in order to promote sustainable construction. Data collection was primarily done by way of a well-structured questionnaire and an expert opinion survey. The responses retrieved from the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ranked accordingly. An ANP model was developed using multi-criteria decision-making based on the expert survey and used to prioritize and assign an important weighting for the identified criteria. The findings showed that multi-criteria decision-making with ANP when effectively employed will help in achieving sustainable buildings with low embodied energy. Reducing the amount of cement through design and building information modeling is the most significant factor towards achieving buildings with less embodied energy.
Atomistic Investigation on the Role of Temperature and Pressure in Diffusion Welding of Al-Ni
Authors: Zaenudin Mohamad , Abdulrazaq Mohammed N. , Al-Zubaidi Salah , Gamayel Adhes , Sunardi Ade
Published: May 2020

This paper presents an investigation of diffusion welding of aluminum and nickel at the atomic scale by utilizing molecular dynamics simulation. By employing several temperature and pressure values, the significant influence of the two could be obtained and thus the optimum parameter values could be obtained. The results showed that the bonding mechanism is mostly promoted by Al, in which the deformation and defects are involved. The results on both the mechanical properties and the evolution of the diffusion configuration showed that temperature has more impact compared to pressure. It was indicated that by raising the temperature to 700 K with the lowest pressure (50 MPa), both the mechanical properties and the evolution of the diffusion configuration showed a relatively significant difference. On the one hand, the deformation that occurs during welding, which is mostly caused by raising the temperature, obviously promotes joining and therefore more joining depth can be achieved, although it results in a curved diffusion zone at the interface. On the other hand, it also leads to a lower ultimate tensile strength. During the tensile test, raising the temperature also led to focusing the deformation in the diffusion zone, while a lower temperature resulted in a wider area of deformation.
Evaluation of the Effect of Operating Parameters on the Performance of Orifice/Porous Pipe Type Micro-bubble Generator
Authors: Pambudiarto Benny Arif , Mindaryani Aswati , Deendarlianto D. , Budhijanto Wiratni
Published: May 2020

The micro-bubble generator (MBG) is a novel aeration technology utilizing the concept of fluid flow through an orifice, where air is sucked into the internal chamber of the MBG by the pressure difference created by the orifice and immediately pushed by the high-velocity flow of the fluid. This mechanism creates micro-size bubbles with a high dissolution rate. This study focused on studying the effect on the oxygen dissolution rate of the two most important operating parameters, i.e. the volumetric flow rate of the liquid (QL) and the volumetric flow rate of the air (QG). Various combinations of values for QL and QG were systematically compared by means of the oxygen mass transfer coefficient (kLa). The experiment was carried out in a transparent container of 2.8 m x 0.6 m x 0.4 m filled with tap water that was aerated using an orifice/porous-pipe type MBG. The dissolved oxygen (DO) values were measured at distances of 60 cm, 120 cm, and 180 cm from the MBG outlet. The experiment was designed with five different values for QL and QG respectively. The results showed that the value of kLa, which is proportional to the oxygen dissolution rate, increased asymptotically with increasing QL value, while the QG values did not significantly affect the kLa value.

Published: May 2020

Microplastics threaten the ecosystem because of undesirable properties such as non-biodegradability, easy-to-absorb persistant organic compounds, etc. They are found worldwide in marine, fresh water and beach sand environments. In this study, microplastics in beach sand samples from two sites in Tien Giang province and two sites in Vung Tau city were investigated. The results showed that the microplastics amount was 0 to 295 pieces/kg dry sand and they mainly distributed near estuarine areas. Microplastics were more prevalent at bathing sites than non-bathing sites. In Tien Giang fragments were the most dominant among the three types of shapes (fragments, fibers, granules) at 60.2%. In Vung Tau granules were most prevalent at 71.7%. The composition of the plastics was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. It was revealed that PE, PP and PS were the main types of plastics found in the sampling sites.

Published: May 2020

Microplastics are emerging contaminants owing to their potential to adsorb and release pollutants from the environment, transferring these pollutants to the food web. Most marine microplastics come from the terrestrial environment, mainly from inland freshwaters that are direct receivers of runoff from urban, industrial, and agricultural areas. The present study investigated the occurrence of microplastics in surface water samples taken from the Cherating river and the Cherating mangrove, Pahang along with a review of recent studies on microplastics abundance in aquatic ecosystems. Three sampling sites were established (two sites along the river and one site in a mangrove in the downstream of the river). In the up- and midstream regions, the river passes by residential, fishery and tourism areas, while the mangrove is located close to Cherating Beach. The highest microplastics abundance was discovered in the midstream region, with an average abundance 0.0070 ± 0.0033 particles/m3, followed by the mangrove (0.0051 ± 0.0053 particles/m3). Fragments with a size of 0.5 to 1.0 mm and white-colored microplastics were prevalent. The findings are similar to those from other microplastic studies (e.g. in Aveiro and Lisbon, Portugal; New England, USA; Kingston Harbour, Jamaica), but lower than microplastics studies in Asia (e.g. Yangtze river estuary and Hangjiang river, China). Overall, the findings provide background information on microplastics pollution in aquatic ecosystems.
Layer by Layer Silver Acetate based Coating on Glass and Cement Substrates to Tailor Reflectance and Conductance
Authors: Ali Ghusoon M. , Hassan Maan S. , Hassan Ehssan S. , Dawood Mohammed O.
Published: May 2020

Tailoring reflectance and conductance was achieved through layer by layer assembly of a silver acetate based multilayer coating. The coating was applied over glass and cement substrates by sol-gel spin coating and by brush painting, respectively. The structural, optical and electrical characteristics and the composition of the coating were studied. The diffraction peaks for all films revealed that the face-centered cubic lattice of the silver crystal structure and the films with more layers had a higher degree of crystallinity. The optical characteristics showed that having more layers leads to decreasing transmittance and increasing reflectance. The I-V characteristics of all samples showed typical ohmic contacts in a voltage range of -1 to 1 V. The conductance increased drastically as the coating developed into multiple layers. The eight-layer coated glass and cement based substrates had very low surface resistance, at 4 â„¦ and 2 â„¦ at 1 V, respectively. The study also revealed that the resistance behavior of a multilayered film generally is thermally stable for annealing up to 400 °C. The coating resistance was significantly increased by further increasing the post-annealing beyond 500 °C. The studied multilayered coating can be used to tailor the reflectance and conductance of dielectric substrate surfaces for various optoelectronics and sensor device applications.
Layer Stripping in Magnetotellurics (MT) for Enhancement of Resistivity Change Effect in Reservoir: Equivalence Analysis
Authors: Grandis Hendra , Warsa W , Sumintadireja Prihadi
Published: May 2020

Magnetotellurics (MT) can be applied to monitor resistivity change at depth that is for example due to fluid injection in enhanced oil recovery or CO2 storage. The observed MT data changes at the surface may be insignificant, but the effect can be enhanced using the layer stripping method, i.e. calculating MT data changes that would be observed at depth based on data from the surface. Two well-known formulas for MT 1D forward modeling were reformulated to allow for calculation of the impedance at depth based on the impedance at the surface. We applied the layer stripping technique to synthetic data associated with models that were representative of a likely CO2 storage site. We also used an equivalent model and the Monte Carlo approach to estimate the sensitivity of the method to cope with the uncertainty of the host model and the input data. The layer stripping calculation has the greatest uncertainty at short periods, where the real and imaginary parts of the complex impedance tend to be equal, i.e. an homogeneous medium response. The layer stripping technique should be used with great caution based on a relatively precise 1D host model.
An Association Between HBoV and Acute Gastroenteritis in a 2-Month-Old Infant: A Case Report
Authors: Mohammadi Mehrdad , Sabzi Niloofar , Bahrami Nikou , Fathizadeh Hadis
Published: May 2020

Introduction: The Human bocavirus (HBoV) was first identified from the nasopharyngeal aspirate specimen in 2005, which includes four subtypes (HBoV1-4). The HBoV-1 is a major subtype in acute respiratory infections of children, and others (HBoV2-4) present in the stool specimens. The pathogenic role of HBoV2-4 in acute gastroenteritis has not confirmed yet, therefore, it has been considered widely. Case Presentation: In this report, we presented a 2-month-old boy with acute gastroenteritis admitted to the Shahid Beheshti Hospital of Kashan, Iran. The stool sample of the patient was tested for HBoV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the NP-1 gene. The other major gastrointestinal pathogens of Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Giardia lamblia, and Entamoeba histolytica were confirmed by specialized microbiological procedures and viral pathogen of Rotavirus by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. This case was confirmed by NP-1 plasmid cloned as a positive control. All clinical manifestations were analyzed by a pediatric nurse through hospital admission. Conclusions: This case was found HBoV-positive for the NP-1 gene of 354 bp by PCR. The major signs were diarrhea, fever, dehydration, and abdominal pain. This case was charged after supportive therapies for dehydration. We showed that HBoV could be a gastrointestinal pathogen in pediatric patients and causing diarrhea in young children. However, more studies are needed to confirm.
Words into Silence
Authors: Agolia Grace Mariette ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: May 2020

This essay explores Karl Rahner’s use of silence throughout his writings in relation to central themes of his theology. First, in his reflections about encountering the silent mystery of God in prayer, Rahner discovers that this painful silence may indeed be sacramental of God’s abiding nearness, inviting us to greater faith, hope, and love. Second, Rahner engages the transcendental character of this relationship between grace and freedom through the silence that permeates the existential divine-human dialogue. Third, Rahner’s meditations on Jesus, the silent Word, reveal how Jesus’s surrender in freedom to God’s silence enables our own response to God and participation in Jesus’s salvific “death-into-resurrection.” Fourth, Rahner elucidates the role of silence in ordinary mysticism; patient forbearance, bold proclamation, and love of neighbor are all opportunities for experiencing the grace of the Holy Spirit in everyday life. Finally, these themes converge in Rahner’s thoughts about the importance of silence in the spirituality of the theologian.

Context.—

The need for appropriate specimen use for ancillary testing has become more commonplace in the practice of pathology. This, coupled with improvements in technology, often provides less invasive methods of testing, but presents new challenges to appropriate specimen collection and handling of these small specimens, including thoracic small biopsy and cytology samples.

Objective.—

To develop a clinical practice guideline including recommendations on how to obtain, handle, and process thoracic small biopsy and cytology tissue specimens for diagnostic testing and ancillary studies.

Methods.—

The College of American Pathologists convened an expert panel to perform a systematic review of the literature and develop recommendations. Core needle biopsy, touch preparation, fine-needle aspiration, and effusion specimens with thoracic diseases including malignancy, granulomatous process/sarcoidosis, and infection (eg, tuberculosis) were deemed within scope. Ancillary studies included immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, mutational analysis, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and microbiologic studies routinely performed in the clinical pathology laboratory. The use of rapid on-site evaluation was also covered.

Results.—

Sixteen guideline statements were developed to assist clinicians and pathologists in collecting and processing thoracic small biopsy and cytology tissue samples.

Conclusions.—

Based on the systematic review and expert panel consensus, thoracic small specimens can be handled and processed to perform downstream testing (eg, molecular markers, immunohistochemical biomarkers), core needle and fine-needle techniques can provide appropriate cytologic and histologic specimens for ancillary studies, and rapid on-site cytologic evaluation remains helpful in appropriate triage, handling, and processing of specimens.

Genre/Form Access in Library Catalogs: A Survey on the Current State of LCGFT Usage
Authors: Bitter Colin , Tosaka Yuji
Published: May 2020

This study provides analysis of a large online survey that was distributed to the cataloging community in 2018. The survey aimed to answer a number of important research questions to gain a general sense of the current state of Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) usage. Findings include an overall broad acceptance of LCGFT, suggesting that the LCGFT project has been successfully embraced as a new controlled vocabulary; however, the adoption of the vocabulary remains uneven, especially between different types of institutions and different areas of the LCGFT vocabulary. Additionally, training points to a much-needed area for improvement as the survey found that the vast majority of non-users of LCGFT had never received vocabulary training. Survey results also suggest that retrospective LCGFT application, particularly using automated means, presents forthcoming challenges for librarians and library IT staff. Despite these limitations and challenges, survey results make it clear that LCGFT has become a widely accepted part of the bibliographic universe that helps to make genre and form information explicitly accessible to library users.
Comparison of Key Entities Within Bibliographic Conceptual Models and Implementations: Definitions, Evolution, and Relationships
Authors: Seikel Michele , Steele Thomas
Published: May 2020

With the introduction of FRBR (Functional Requirements of a Bibliographic Record) in 1998, IFLA (the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutes) introduced a new conceptual entity relationship model. FRBR was soon followed by FRAD (Functional Requirements of Authority Data) and FRSAD (Functional Requirements of Subject Authority Data). With LRM (IFLA Library Reference Model) and two descriptive standards, the RDA Toolkit and BIBFRAME to follow, it helps catalogers to have a greater understanding of the entity relationship models they use for bibliographic description. The authors compare the models and descriptive standards. Differences among the entities, their definitions, and properties are examined and analyzed.
Database Discovery: From a Migration Project to a Content Strategy
Authors: Wong Sandra
Published: May 2020

After migrating to Ex Libris’s Alma and Primo for its integrated library system (ILS) and discovery layer, library staff at Simon Fraser University (SFU) maintained duplicate database information in a locally developed electronic resources management (ERM) system known as the CUFTS ERM for fifteen months. The CUFTS ERM provided the data for the library’s public-facing database list known as the CUFTS resource database (CRDB). A database search function had been on Ex Libris’s Primo roadmap for product development and was announced six months after the library went live with Alma and Primo. However, the new Primo database search function lacked the ability to replace the CRDB. Members of the library’s ILS Steering Committee who managed Alma and Primo were concerned about significant negative impacts on end-users if the library adopted the Primo database search function to replace the CRDB. The steering committee formed a task group to investigate options for creating a database list from Alma records to reduce duplication of staff time and effort, and systems resources, and to replicate the main functions of the existing CRDB for end-user discovery and access.

Uma virada epistêmica feminista (negra): conceitos e debates
Authors: Veiga Ana Maria
Published: May 2020

Busco sistematizar neste artigo alguns debates que percebo como centrais para os feminismos negros americanos, tomando como sujeitos/as de análise mulheres intelectuais estadunidenses e brasileiras, tratando de suas singularidades e da complementaridade de falas e discursos repletos de afetos e de exemplos de vida. Considerando a virada epistêmica feminista das últimas décadas, a partir dos conceitos de interseccionalidade e (de)colonialidade, traço paralelos com base na localização de mulheres intelectuais negras, mapeando protagonismos de sujeitos/as em situação de margem, que trazem suas vivências para teorizações acadêmicas e enfrentamentos políticos, inspiradas seja pela voz de Sojourner Truth, nos EUA, ou pela “escrevivência” de Conceição Evaristo, no Brasil, junto com a confiança nos orixás e o respeito à ancestralidade de matriz africana. Falas localizadas e em primeira pessoa emergem dessas narrativas e confrontam epistemologias hegemônicas, trazendo novas propostas ao meio acadêmico, colocando novos (e velhos) desafios para a história e a historiografia no tempo presente.Palavras-chave: Feministas Negras.

O acesso de mulheres indígenas à universidade: trajetórias de lutas, estudos e conquistas
Authors: Faustino Rosangela Celia , Novak Maria Simone Jacomini , Rodrigues Isabel Cristina
Published: May 2020

Embora os povos indígenas requeiram “educação superior” no Brasil desde o final do século XIX demonstrando seu intenso protagonismo, data dos anos de 1990 a formulação da política de inclusão de indígenas nas universidades públicas. Neste artigo, discutimos trajetórias de resistência, lutas e demandas dos povos indígenas, que resultaram no acesso ao ensino superior, consubstanciado por orientações internacionais e legislações nacionais. Abordamos o papel e presença da mulher nesse processo discutindo dificuldades vivenciadas e ações que empreendem para ingressar e concluir a formação. Com base em estudo documental, pesquisa de campo e dados do programa de inclusão indígena no Ensino Superior do Paraná, conclui-se que as mulheres, mesmo com um histórico de invisibilidade e todas as dificuldades vivenciadas para acessar e permanecer nas universidades distantes das suas famílias extensas, têm obtido resultados relevantes em termos de conclusão dos cursos e ampliação dos seus espaços de atuação e participação.Palavras-chave: Mulheres indígenas.

“A gente é pessoa!”: narrativas de mulheres trans sobre Direitos Humanos
Authors: Rovai Marta Gouveia de Oliveira
Published: May 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar a discussão sobre Direitos Humanos no tempo presente, a partir das narrativas orais de vida de quatro mulheres trans, que vivem em cidades do sul de Minas Gerais: Luana, Lucielly, Wall e Ana Luíza. Suas histórias devida são testemunhos importantes que revelam não apenas suas experiências pessoais, mas uma cultura de violações aos direitos de populações LGBT, em especial de pessoas trans, construída ao longo da história. As narrativas denunciam a permanência de práticas e discursos que, embora defendam a ideia universal de direito e de pessoas, são usados também para desrespeitar as diferenças, negando a possibilidade de construção da dignidade a determinados grupos. Trabalhos como esses colocam o historiador do tempopresente diante de compromisso ético com o registro e a publicização dessas histórias, em busca da transformação social e da defesa da vida.

Teoria de gênero e ideologia de gênero: cenário de uma disputa nos 25 anos da IV Conferência Mundial das Mulheres
Authors: Guimarães Géssica
Published: May 2020

Este artigo tem como eixo principal a investigação acerca das diferenças entre a teoria de gênero e a ideologia de gênero. O objetivo consiste em historicizar o significado e conteúdo atribuído tanto à teoria de gênero quanto à ideologia de gênero, a fim de compreender os desdobramentos científicos, políticos e pedagógicos de cada uma das perspectivas sobre as relações de gênero em nossa sociedade. Identificamos a afirmação do gênero como uma categoria analítica por volta da década de 1980, entre historiadoras e cientistas sociais ligadas aos estudos sobre mulheres e à história das mulheres, que buscavam a compreensão das relações entre homens e mulheres por um viés histórico que destacasse as relações de poder que reiteravam estruturas de opressão. Já a ideologia de gênero surgiu como uma resposta ao movimento feminista que ganhava grande amplitude política, notável pela importância da IV Conferência Mundial das Mulheres, realizada em 1995 pela ONU, em Pequim, mas que rapidamente também se tornou uma perseguição aos movimentos que questionam a heterossexualidade compulsória, conjugando em suas pautas o ataque a movimentos que desafiassem a normatividade do patriarcado. Por fim, nos interessa indicar como ambas as concepções podem afetar o ensino de história, pois entendemos que o estudo crítico acerca das relações de gênero pode contribuir para a construção de uma educação democrática.Palavras-chave: Teoria de gênero.

A verdade da História no jornalismo e o lugar do jornalismo na história: apontamentos críticos de uma relação guiada pela noção de acontecimento
Authors: Bonsanto André
Published: May 2020

Este artigo procura problematizar uma possível aproximação entre a História e o jornalismo ao analisar como uma ideia particular de “verdade” se entrelaça à constituição de suas identidades e discursos. Desta forma, propomos realizar uma discussão teórico-metodológica que nos permita: 1) historicizar o conceito de “verdade” da/na História e como este se encontra circunscrito à própria ideia de verdade proferida pelo jornalismo enquanto instituição; 2) perceber como o jornalismo, ao se apropriar discursivamente desta “verdade”, procura circunscrever o seu lugar na história; 3) problematizar, pela noção de “acontecimento”, um ponto de interseção que se daria entre o jornalismo, a memória e a história, relação capaz de dotar as verdades do jornalismo de algumas características que lhe são próprias. Queremos discutir, com isso, de que forma o jornalismo procura se fazer histórico, relacionando a “verdade” de seus relatos e a autoridade de suas práticas à constante reapresentação dos acontecimentos no tempo.Palavras-chave: História.

“Welcome to Floripa” - The FIFA World Cup on the Magic Island: an apologia for sex tourism
Authors: Fáveri Marlene de
Published: May 2020

During the preparations for the Football World Cup in Brazil, Florianópolis received, in February 2014, a delegation of coaches of the national teams classified for the tournament, as well as journalists from all over the world. Sectors linked to tourism and the press gave special highlights to the event, hoping to invigorate international tourism and show the welcoming potential of the state of Santa Catarina. On the first day of the event, the newspaper Diário Catarinense distributed a special supplement, a kind of tourist guide to the city, entitled “Welcome to Floripa;” its cover featured an advertisement for a nightclub, the Bokarra Club, bearing images of women in erotic poses, an explicit apologia for sex tourism. I analyze the media impacts of these images, offered as objects of desire; letters exchanged between a public agency and this press medium; the resonance of this publication for male and female readers regarding sex tourism. I observe the uses of female images in the media, from the perspective of gender relations.

Freud's Dream provides an extended case study of the appeal and potential dangers of the interdisciplinary approach to theory construction now guiding cognitive science as well as a novel interpretation of Freud's own program.

Kitcher argues that Freud's grand scheme for psychoanalysis was nothing less than a blueprint for a complete interdisciplinary science of mind, that many of its strengths and weaknesses derived from that fact, and that Freud's errors are instructive for current work in cognitive science.

In particular, Kitcher maintains that Freud's metapsychology was not a dispensible theoretical superstructure but a set of directives for constructing a science of mind that would be firmly grounded in then current results in neurophysiology, evolutionary biology, psychology, psychiatry, and the social sciences. The collapse of psychoanalysis, Kitcher asserts, was due in large measure to fundamental changes in the sciences out of which Freud constructed his theories and his refusal to recognize the degree to which he had made psychoanalysis dependent on the results and assumptions of nineteenth-century science.

The Origins of Grammar
Authors: Hirsh-Pasek Kathy , Golinkoff Roberta M.
Published: May 2020

How do children achieve adult grammatical competence? How do they induce syntactical rules from the bewildering linguistic input that surrounds them? The major debates in language acquisition theory today focus not on whether there are some sensitivities to syntactic information but rather which sensitivities are available to children and how they might be translated into the organizing principles that get syntactic learning off the ground.

The Origins of Grammar presents a synthesis of work done by the authors, who have pioneered one of the most important methodological advances in language learning in the past decade: the intermodal preferential looking paradigm, which can be used to assess lexical and syntactic knowledge in children as young as 13 months. In addition to drawing together their groundbreaking empirical work, the authors use these results to describe a theory of language learning that emphasizes the role of multiple cues and forces in development. They show how infants shift their reliance on different aspects of the linguistic input, moving from a bias to attend to prosodic information to a reliance on semantic information, and finally to a reliance on the syntax itself.

Viewing language acquisition as the product of a biased learner who takes advantage of the information available from a variety of sources in his or her environment, The Origins of Grammar provides a new way of thinking about the process of language comprehension. The analysis borrows insights from theories about the development of mental models, models of early cognitive development and systems theory, and is presented in a way that will be accessible to cognitive and developmental psychologists.

Ten Problems of Consciousness
Authors: Tye Michael
Published: May 2020

Can neurophysiology ever reveal to us what it is like to smell a skunk or to experience pain? In what does the feeling of happiness consist? How is it that changes in the white and gray matter composing our brains generate subjective sensations and feelings? These are several of the questions that Michael Tye addresses, while formulating a new and enlightening theory about the phenomenal "what it feels like" aspect of consciousness. The test of any such theory, according to Tye, lies in how well it handles ten critical problems of consciousness.

Tye argues that all experiences and all feelings represent things, and that their phenomenal aspects are to be understood in terms of what they represent. He develops this representational approach to consciousness in detail with great ingenuity and originality. In the book's first part Tye lays out the domain, the ten problems and an associated paradox, along with all the theories currently available and the difficulties they face. In part two, he develops his intentionalist approach to consciousness. Special summaries are provided in boxes and the ten problems are illustrated with cartoons.

Makers-Philosophers-Researchers: Experimentations with (Dis)placements
Authors: Nordstrom Susan
Published: May 2020

In 2017, a graduate class became something otherwise. It became an experimental place in which experiences poured through students rather than providing students ready-made experiences. It became a space to encourage the play of difference that challenge our ideas about race, class, gender, ability, sexuality, and so on as frictional events (Puar, 2012). It became a space in which students came to know themselves differently, even subjectify themselves in different ways through experience. By attending to the delicacies of social, material, aesthetic, cultural, historical, and disciplinary forces, the class became a generative space of producing knowledge differently, knowledge that changes us as it much as it changes disciplines (Manning, 2016). It became a space to write and do scholarship differently so as to stay close to the ground to attend to “the sensed social-material-aesthetic atmospherics resonant in a scene, the threshold onto worlds of expressivity in a problematics” (Berlant & Stewart, 2019, p. 34). This Reconceptualizing Educational Research Methodology special issue offers five experimentations that materialized from such a course.
Intentions and Repercussions of Revitalization: Urban Geographical Research Using Walking Methodology
Authors: Woods Lauren
Published: May 2020

This paper asks readers to consider both the positive and negative impacts of gentrification on residents and business owners. The paper draws from a project that used a walking methodology to explore a neighborhood, in addition to supplemental readings related to various ways of experiencing and knowing, racial history and tensions, and issues surrounding gentrification in other areas. I begin this paper by describing experiences I had as a child, and how those previous experiences colored my perception while walking through an area of town that is now vastly different due to revitalization from my memories from when I was younger. I also explore connections made from reviews of literature related to alternative methods of collecting and exploring data, as well as reflections from sensory and emotional experiences during the walks. This research was contextualized using articles and news clips discussing various viewpoints regarding if the changes in the neighborhood should be called revitalization or gentrification. I then leave it to the reader to question both the positive and negative impacts of gentrification.
Becoming Historic: Unsettling Preservation as “Activism” in the Memphis Neighborhood of Central Gardens
Authors: Bailey-Tarbett Leslee
Published: May 2020

Based on an interdisciplinary research course for graduate students, this paper describes a project that combines arts-based research, walking methodology, and posthuman theories to design a research-creation. The purpose of this assemblage of photographs, archived newsletters, online information, maps, and other materials is to aid in the suspension of linear thinking and offer a unique contribution to the discussion of what gaining “historic” status can do in a particular place/time. This paper describes how the neighborhood association, formed 50 years ago, had the primary mission to lobby for historic status in order to protect property values and prevent multi-dwelling homes and businesses from moving in. By embarking on a multisensory inquiry employing walking methodology, I demonstrate how this insular, exclusive, historic neighborhood continues to be entangled within the surrounding geographic areas, as well as within the socio-politico-and economic dimensions of the city.
(Un)settling Methodology: Walking the City of Memphis with Transcorporeality in a More-than-Human World
Authors: Salem Wesam M.
Published: May 2020

In this paper, I explain how I engaged with walking as a sensory and relational inquiry that provoked thinking differently and intra-actively of research, and the entanglement (Barad, 2007) of our bodies with the space and matter. As I walked the city of Memphis, assemblages of my emplaced body movement, subjectivities, senses, feelings, and interactions with the materiality of the space deconstructed and interrogated the neoliberal normalized narratives of othering and belonging. Situating the walks within transcorporeality (Alaimo, 2012), transmateriality (Springgay & Truman, 2017a), and the spactimematter entanglement (Haraway, 2015), I share how these walks generated three lines of flight (Deleuze & Guattari,1987) that transformed my thinking of research methods and opened up spaces for new ways of knowing beyond the linear and the prescribed. The three lines of flight, I discuss in this paper, informed and shaped my thinking of: my research methods with respect to interviewing Muslim American youth, the embodied experience of walking within the entanglement of space time matter in a more-than-human world, and the concept of (dis)placed bodies within the postcolonial thought.
Creating Outside the Box
Authors: Benson Sara L.
Published: May 2020

This paper shares my journey from rigid, self-doubting, and strict to fluid, confident, freedom of thinking as I created, moved, thought, and philosophized my way through an arts-based and community-based research course. In that course, I created a photography piece, “Bluff City Merger.” Through the creation of this project my view of who I was as a researcher and as a person began to shift and an unmasking began to take place by the end of this project. Bluff City Merger created a space that would allow for the individual to construct their own meaning and understanding of all that took place in Memphis, Tennessee (US). The purpose of this piece was to spark conversation and conceptualization surrounding the bussing controversy of the early 70’s in the city of Memphis while also contemplating the current state of the school system by merging photographs from the past with those from the present.

Published: May 2020

A novel coaxial cable-fed antenna with a combination of L-shaped elements is proposed for multiband applications. The obtained resonances at different frequency bands are realized by adding L-shaped strips with different lengths to the antenna geometry. The antenna is printed on a low-priced FR-4 substrate with overall size of 14×14×1.6 mm3. Experimental results indicate the coverage of 1.32, 1.80, 2.34, 3.30, 3.66, 4.26, 5.28, 7.68, 8.1, 9.72 and 10.38 GHz, compatible with L-band, WLAN, WiMAX, C-band, ITU 8 GHz, and X-band. Suitable radiation properties, multiband functionality, desirable gain values and agreement of simulated and measured results confirm the suitability of the proposed structure for multiband communication applications.
