Magnetospheric processes seen in gas giants such as aurorae and circularly polarized cyclotron maser radio emission have been detected from some brown dwarfs. However, previous radio observations targeted known brown dwarfs discovered via their infrared emission. Here we report the discovery of BDR J1750+3809, a circularly polarized radio source detected around 144 MHz with the Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope. Follow-up near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy show that BDR J1750+3809 is a cold methane dwarf of spectral type T6.5 ± 1 at a distance of

. The quasi-quiescent radio spectral luminosity of BDR J1750+3809 is ≈5 × 1015 erg s−1 Hz−1, which is over two orders of magnitude larger than that of the known population of comparable spectral type. This could be due to a preferential geometric alignment or an electrodynamic interaction with a close companion. In addition, as the emission is expected to occur close to the electron gyrofrequency, the magnetic field strength at the emitter site in BDR J1750+3809 is B ≳ 25 G, which is comparable to planetary-scale magnetic fields. Our discovery suggests that low-frequency radio surveys can be employed to discover substellar objects that are too cold to be detected in infrared surveys.
Methanimine as a Key Precursor of Imines in the Interstellar Medium: The Case of Propargylimine
Authors: Lupi Jacopo , Puzzarini Cristina , Barone Vincenzo
Published: November 2020

A gas-phase formation route is proposed for the recently detected propargylimine molecule. In analogy to other imines, such as cyanomethanimine, the addition of a reactive radical (C2H in the present case) to methanimine (CH2NH) leads to reaction channels open also in the harsh conditions of the interstellar medium. Three possible isomers can be formed in the CH
2
NH + C2H reaction: Z- and E-propargylimine (Z-,E-PGIM) as well as N-ethynyl-methanimine (N-EMIM). For both PGIM species, the computed global rate coefficient is nearly constant in the 20–300 K temperature range, and of the order of 2–3 ×  10−10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, while that for N-EMIM is about two orders of magnitude smaller. Assuming equal destruction rates for the two isomers, these results imply an abundance ratio for PGIM of [Z]/[E]  ∼ 1.5, which is only slightly underestimated with respect to the observational datum.
A Precursor Balloon Mission for Venusian Astrobiology

Published: November 2020

The potential detection of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus has reignited interest in the possibility of life aloft in this environment. If the cloud decks of Venus are indeed an abode of life, it should reside in the “habitable zone” between ∼50–60 km altitude, roughly coincident with the middle cloud deck, where the temperature and pressure (but not the atmospheric composition) are similar to conditions at the Earth’s surface. We map out a precursor astrobiological mission to search for such putative lifeforms in situ with instrument balloons, which could be delivered to Venus via launch opportunities in 2022–2023. This mission would collect aerosol and dust samples by means of small balloons floating in the Venusian cloud deck and directly scrutinize whether they include any apparent biological materials and, if so, their shapes, sizes, and motility. Our balloon mission would also be equipped with a miniature mass spectrometer that should permit the detection of complex organic molecules. The mission is augmented by contextual cameras to search for macroscopic signatures of life in the Venusian atmospheric habitable zone. Finally, mass and power constraints permitting, radio interferometric determinations of the motion of the balloons in Venusian winds, together with in situ temperature and pressure measurements, will provide valuable insights into the poorly understood meteorology of the middle cloud region.

Impact of hexane defatting on characteristics ofPatanga succincta L. powder and its application on nutritional improvement of biscuit stick
Authors: Indriani S. , Nalinanon S. , Karnjanapratum S.
Published: November 2020

Impact of hexane defatting on physicochemical, oxidative stability and total volatile compounds of Bombay locust (Patanga succincta L.) powder ‘BL’ were studied. Defatted insect powder (F/BL) showed marked decrease in fat content (1.2%) with significantly (P≤0.05) higher protein content (78.7%), compared with those of BL (29.8% fat and 56.5% protein). Based on electrophoresis result, hexane defatting had no effect on peptide distribution of insect powders. F/BL had lower peroxide value with better oxidative stability (P≤0.05), while less variety of volatiles with more off-flavour compounds, particularly lipid oxidation and insect hormone odours, were observed from BL. F/BL was confirmed as an excellent source of amino acids and minerals. The physicochemical and sensory properties of F/BL fortified biscuit stick and the final products were determined. F/BL fortified biscuit stick showed a better acceptance, compared with those from BL at the same level used. Based on sensory characteristics, biscuit stick with 10% F/BL (F/BL-10) was selected and studied for its chemical composition and microstructure. F/BL-10 possessed more porous structure with higher protein and lower energy value, compared with those from 10% BL. Overall, defatted Bombay locusts could be an effective alternative protein source with excellent applicability to baked products, particularly biscuit stick.
Yeatsove maske in Pessoovi heteronimi v luči zahodnega ezoterizma
Authors: Vurnik Navinšek Lara Gea
Published: November 2020

Članek obravnava vpliv zahodnega ezoterizma oziroma okultizma na življenje in delo Williama Butlerja Yeatsa in Fernanda Pessoe. Pri tem je posebna pozornost posvečena pesniški tehniki »kreativne disociacije« od lastnega jaza ali »depersonalizacije«, kot je svojo heteronimijo označil Pessoa. Gre za bistveno skupno potezo Yeatsove in Pessoove poetike, ki ni le paradigmatsko modernistična, temveč tudi poudarjeno ezoterična. Kot ezoterične razumemo različne tokove, ki so se skozi zgodovino razvili vzporedno z organizirano religijo na eni in razsvetljenskim racionalizmom na drugi strani ter s tem tvorijo t. i. »tretji steber zahodne kulture«. Yeatsovo teorijo maske so v veliki meri definirale tudi ideje, ki jih je pridobil v svojih letih članstva v Hermetičnem redu Zlate zore, na nastanek Pessoovih heteronimov pa je vplivalo njegovo prakticiranje spiritizma, medijstva in avtomatskega pisanja. Delo obeh avtorjev tako lahko razumemo kot modernistični umetniški izraz, ki se je izoblikoval v tesnem kontaktu z zahodnim ezoterizmom.
Curbing Student Digital Distraction With Non-Traditional Teaching Strategies
Authors: Flanigan Abraham , Kim Jackie HeeYoung
Published: November 2020

Student use of mobile phones, laptop computers, and other digital devices for leisure purposes has become nearly omnipresent in college classrooms across the globe. The emergence of the digital distraction phenomenon has left many educators searching for strategies to curb the amount of habitual off-task behavior taking place in their classrooms. The chapter supplies educators with a menu of strategies to diminish the occurrence of student digital distraction in their classrooms. Specifically, the authors discuss evidence-based non-traditional strategies that can be applied to reduce student digital distraction in the traditional face-to-face setting, and they position the flipped classroom model as a viable approach for instructors who wish to curb student digital distraction while simultaneously boosting student engagement and learning. Finally, they discuss the importance of empowering students to take control over their digital device use and learning outcomes by training them to become autonomous, self-regulated learners.
Distance Learning in Chemical Engineering
Authors: Fletcher Ashleigh J. , Haw Mark , Jorge Miguel , Moffat Kenneth
Published: November 2020

Online teaching and learning opens up great opportunities, particularly in terms of widening access to education, but also poses important challenges related to delivery, student engagement, adapting contents, and ensuring reliability of assessment. Some of these challenges assume particular relevance in engineering degrees, due to their strong practical dimension, the connection to industrial practice, and the need for programme accreditation. This chapter focuses on the example of the Chemical Engineering Distance Learning degree at the University of Strathclyde, describing its decade-long transformation from a mainly correspondence-based course to a fully online programme. The main challenges faced by course directors and teaching staff are identified, and the response to those challenges is critically discussed. Finally, a reflection is presented on the future of distance learning programmes in the context of expected developments enabled by online technologies, artificial intelligence, and collection of rich datasets on learner engagement and development.
Analysis of Efficiency and Effectiveness in the Implementation of the Flipped Classroom in the Context of Higher Education
Authors: Lopes Sergio Francisco Sargo Ferreira , Gouveia Luís Borges , Reis Pedro
Published: November 2020

The study and investigation around educational models and teaching and learning methodologies is a theme that has long aroused the interest of the academic environment in higher education, both in the period before the advent of digital technology, as in current times in which technology is strongly embedded in the various teaching and learning processes, which involve classroom and distance-learning classes and courses, both in the context of e-learning and b-learning. Understanding how people learn and understand the themes presented in the classroom in face-to-face and e-learning is fundamental for planning and implementing processes that allow teachers to apply teaching and learning methodologies that can be efficient and effective. The main objective is to carry out a critical reflection on b-learning teaching, about the implementation of the teaching and learning methodology of the flipped classroom, one of the variants of b-learning teaching, supported by the results of a field investigation carried out with 152 students (n=152) of higher education.
Distance Learning and Social Issues
Authors: Caridade Sónia Maria Martins , Dinis Maria Alzira Pimenta
Published: November 2020

Distance learning (DL) assumes a relevant place in the scope of social sciences' approaches adopted in terms of violence prevention, through the creation and development of digital platforms addressing different types of violence. As a consequence of the wide use of information and communication technologies (ICT) by young people, the risks represented for experiencing violence, and the advantages in terms of the rapid dissemination of information, there has been an increasing use of digital tools to prevent different victimization phenomena. Although there are constraints associated with DL, it has lower costs of learning training per person, allowing a wide dissemination of information. This chapter intends to analyse and discuss how DL may address violence prevention in terms of social sciences issues specific interventions. In the expectation that others may emerge, existing practices in this area covering the most diverse types of violence affecting young people are presented and described.
It All Works Out in the End
Authors: Chism Rebecca Lynn , Graff Carine
Published: November 2020

Qualitative research enables flexible designs unlike quantitative research, but those designs can be modified up to a point. It sometimes happens that the study at hand takes an unexpected turn of events and the researchers have then to find ways to cope with the changes. When the matter being investigated involves online surveys, there is even more leeway for uncertainty, as difficulties such as finding participants and time constraints may arise. This chapter presents a study conducted by two researchers in an American midwestern university and the challenges they encountered after answering a call for papers about technology and language learner psychology. They used an online survey to inquire about students' experience in an online language course. However, the lack of time intertwined with unexpected events involved readjustments and a need for more research and training. In the current article, the researchers share their project timeline, the issues they encountered, and offer some solutions.
Instructor-Learner Partnership in Preparing Teacher Candidates to Teach Secondary School Students
Authors: Bhattacharya Alpana
Published: November 2020

Teacher preparation programs in the United States are expected to educate preservice teacher candidates through instructor-learner partnerships. Collaborative learning, project-based learning, and authentic assessment therefore are vital for preparing teacher candidates to teach in 7-12 grades. This chapter shares instances of instructor-learner partnership from an undergraduate educational psychology course via course-based and field-based assignments. First, an overview of constructivism is presented as foundational theory anchoring instructor-learner partnership in the teacher preparation course. Next, instructor-learner partnership is illustrated within a simulation task, technology-enhanced project, and fieldwork experience. Finally, instructor-learner partnership in formative assessment of course-based and field-based activities are illustrated. The chapter concludes with recommendations for inculcating instructor-learner partnership in teacher education courses, and directions for future research pertinent to instructor-learner partnership in teacher preparation programs.
Reliable or Risky?
Authors: Krogh Chris , Liberto Giuliana
Published: November 2020

The global and growing phenomenon of home education is regulated differently in different countries and different states. Where is it legal the regulatory burden on home educators ranges from low to moderate to high. A range of commentators, including home educators, work to shape the frames through which home education is understood and subsequently regulated. Using an illustrative case study, this chapter shows that regulation impacts on child wellbeing and that home educators take different motivational postures based on a range of factors, of which their relationship with the regulator is one. The degree to which regulators cultivate a cooperative relationship is proposed as a critical factor in developing a positive regulatory environment. Co-production of home education regulations, as was previously undertaken in Tasmania, Australia, is presented as an effective and more acceptable approach to regulation. This is recommended as a model of practice to be undertaken in other settings.
A Method Based on a New Word Embedding Approach for Process Model Matching
Authors: Abdelkader Mostefai , Mansour Mekour
Published: November 2020

This paper proposes a method based on a new word embedding approach for matching business process model. The proposed method aligns two process models in four steps. First activity labels are extracted and pre-processed to remove meaningless words, then each word composing an activity label and using a semantic similarity metric based on WordNet is represented with an n-dimensional vector in the space of the vocabulary of the two labels to be compared. Based on these representations, a vector representation of each activity label is computed by averaging the vectors representing words found in the activity label. Finally, the two activity labels are reported as similar if their similarity score computed using the cosine metric is greater than some predefined threshold. An experiment was conducted on well-known dataset to assess the performance of the proposed method. The results showed that the proposed method shared the first place with RMM/NHCM and OPBOT tools and can be effective in matching process models.

A Systems Dynamics Approach to Understanding the Determinants of Antenatal Care Utilization in Low-and Middle-Income Countries
Authors: Namatovu Hasifah Kasujja , Semwanga Agnes Rwashana
Published: November 2020

There has been low adherence of antenatal care utilization (ANC) in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) despite its associated negative outcome on women and their unborn babies. Although several studies have examined ANC, the majority focus on isolated aspects and do not explore the holistic approach to understand its dynamics. The system dynamics approach provides a deeper understanding of the phenomenon by examining the underlying factors, causes, effects, feedback, and delays. This study aimed at understanding factors that influence ANC utilization using the system's dynamics approach. An interpretive systematic review to establish multifaceted and context-specific processes was done between May and November 2019. Data from 24 articles were synthesized and used to build causal loop diagrams, which were validated through focus group discussions and interviews with stakeholders. Results revealed human resource numbers and welfare, awareness campaigns, peer support groups, and community-based engagement as key leverage points towards ANC improvement.
Learner-Active Technology-Infused Classroom
Authors: Statti Aubrey L.C.
Published: November 2020

With the continued rise of importance in developing digital learners, this article seeks to review a study centered on an example of innovative, technologically-advanced curriculum through the learner-active technology-infused classroom (LATIC) format as well as to discuss the possibilities of engaging learners in this format through virtual education settings. The LATIC approach pursues student achievement through three primary principles: academic rigor, student engagement, and student responsibility. In order to accomplish these goals, students are encouraged to work both independently and collaboratively, to use technology seamlessly as a tool for learning, to set goals, manage projects, assess progress, and identify their own resources for learning. In the midst of the COVID-19 global crisis and its tremendous impact on learning, this article first reviews the original case study of a 3rd-grade LATIC and then further discusses the potential for incorporating these concepts into online and homeschool education.
Empowering General Studies and English Language Education 4.0
Authors: Hiasat Lana
Published: November 2020

Education 4.0 has been a buzz word in the past few years in tertiary education. Educators have continuously asked how to transform higher education to meet the changes resulting from the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR). The General Studies and English language program have gone through several instrumental changes to meet the demands of Educational Revolution 4.0 in the United Arab Emirates. These changes directly impacted the pedagogies of teaching and learning environments. The primary focus of this paper is on how the General Studies and English language program in a tertiary educational institution in the United Arab Emirates has transformed the educational key elements of teaching and learning to meet the changes that came with the 4th Industrial Revolution. The changes implemented are in the areas of digitalized learning and with the goal of preparing students for uncertain futures. An overview of the present challenges is discussed in addition to a discussion of recommendations.
The Perceived Hazard of Sound Scheme and Desktop Theme Auditory Elements
Authors: Amer T. S. , Johnson Todd L.
Published: November 2020

The interface concept of adaptable design allows users to select and apply alternative auditory elements to the user interface. This study examines the consistency of the arousal strength of auditory elements that accompany exception messages available in two adaptable design options available for the Microsoft Windows operating system: (1) sound schemes and (2) desktop themes. The auditory elements available in these options differ in composition and sound features. Prior work indicates that such differences could result in differences in the arousal strength communicated by the auditory elements and therefore violate the key user interface design principle of consistency. The auditory elements within IT environments should communicate consistent levels of hazard as measured by arousal strength in order to achieve “hazard matching.” Results reveal differences in the arousal strength of the important critical stop auditory element across both sound schemes and desktop themes. Implications of this finding are discussed.
ANT Perspective of Healthcare Big Data for Service Delivery in South Africa
Authors: Iyamu Tiko , Mgudlwa Sibulela
Published: November 2020

In South Africa, there has been for many years challenges in how healthcare big data are accessed, used, and managed by facilities, particularly the small health facilities. The challenges arise from inaccuracy and inconsistency of patients' data and have impact on diagnoses, medications, and treatments, which consequently contributes to fatalities in South Africa, particularly in the rural areas of the country. The problem of inaccuracy and inconsistency of patients' data is often caused by lack of or poor analysis (or analytics) of data. Thus, the objective of this research was to understand the factors that influence the use and management of patients' big data for healthcare service delivery. The qualitative methods were applied, and a South African healthcare facility was used as a case in the study. Actor network theory (ANT) was employed as a lens to guide the analysis of the qualitative data. Based on the findings from the analysis, a model was developed, which is intended to guide analytics of big data for healthcare purposes, towards improving service delivery in the country.
A Meta-Analysis of Ontological Guidance and Users' Understanding of Conceptual Models
Authors: Saghafi Arash , Wand Yair
Published: November 2020

Information systems are intended to be faithful accounts of real-world applications. As an integral part of the development process, analysts create conceptual models in order to understand the application and communicate requirements. Failure to do so has been a prominent reason for IT projects' failure. Hence, improving the quality of models could have a major impact on the information systems' success. To guide the modeling process, researchers use ontology to create more expressive representations of reality. However, improving expressiveness can make the models complicated and cause cognitive hurdles for users. Therefore, the question is whether ontological guidance is worth the trade-off between expressiveness and complexity. This paper describes a meta-analysis of empirical research examining the impact of ontological guidance on users' understandability. The results show that ontological guidance can improve users' understanding of conceptual models, especially those requiring deeper understanding, thus providing support for ontological guidance in conceptual modeling.
Revising the Socio-Technical Perspective for the 21st Century
Authors: Fischer Louise Harder , Baskerville Richard
Published: November 2020

A predominant understanding in information systems research (ISR) is that technology has institutionalizing, routinizing, and socializing effects in its interaction with users in the human enterprise. Subscribing to these effects from an organizational point of view no longer provides a full understanding of the more complex dynamics in the 21st century workplace inhabited by a vast amount of different technologies with different purposes. Through a critical realist analysis, focusing on patterns in socio-technical structures and more specific actions and outcomes afforded by the recent and forceful adoption of unified communication and collaboration platforms (UCC), the authors see a new, powerful socio-technical mechanism of individualization that is profoundly changing these socio-technical dynamics. Through 18 interviews with knowledge professionals, the study finds that the mechanisms of individualization reduce the influence of the organization as an institutionalizing and socializing socio-technical system. As an example, the power of individualization creates new parallel structures of small networks of close colleagues. Thus, this research sees new structural patterns and dynamics emerging, forming a much more complex, yet self-organizing socio-technical system. The authors suggest expanding the socio-technical understanding of the present techno-organizational reality by taking into account the socio-technical mechanisms that produce certain outcomes. By understanding the fundamental mechanisms at work, they provide those with a fuller understanding of how these mechanisms can enable, while simultaneously crippling, each other. This fuller understanding also aids the pursuit of providing workplaces that achieve both humanistic and economic objectives.
Adolescent psychiatric outpatients and their caregivers: Comparing the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
Authors: Mohangi Yashna , Magagula Thulisile G. , Van der Westhuizen Deborah
Published: November 2020

Background: The use of the SDQs as a screening tool to monitor new or ongoing problems in adolescent psychiatric outpatients is needed to improve clinical outcomes. Discrepancies between parent and adolescent reports on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), reflects the degree of emotional and behavioural symptoms. This may affect their ability to work together to reach therapeutic goals.Aim: The level of SDQ (dis)agreements between adolescent-parental self-reports in adolescent psychiatric outpatients was examined.Setting: Weskoppies Child and Adolescent outpatients.Methods: This two-group cross-sectional comparative study obtained SDQ responses from 74 psychiatrically diagnosed adolescents and their parents (148 completed SDQ questionnaires). Adolescent outpatients aged between 11 and 18 years following up at the outpatients between July 2017 and November 2017 were included. Adolescent and parent rating scores were compared using a paired sample t-test, and patterns of agreement were measured by using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Cohen’s kappa.Results: Parents reported more difficulties than adolescents, although differences were non-significant (p 0.58). Caregivers and adolescents agreed on the conduct domain and on emotional symptoms (0.21 ≤ kappa ≤ 0.40, p 0.05). Caregivers and adolescents agreed on the presentation of internalising and externalising disorders (R = 0.48, p 0.001).Conclusions: The SDQ confirmed fair agreement between parents and adolescents. Parental perceptions of adolescent behavioural difficulties could influence parent– adolescent relations and communication. Using the SDQ as a screening tool in South Africa, requires further validation for it to be integrated as part of a multi-informant best-practice approach.

„Anagramy” Marii Kazimiery Sobieskiej
Authors: Śnieżyńska-Stolot Ewa
Published: November 2020

The “Anagrams” of Marie Casimire Sobieski The “Anagrams” of Marie Casimire Sobieski This article concerns the residence in Rome from 1699 to 1714 of Marie Casimire Sobieski, widow of King John III. She belonged to the Accademia dell’Arcadia with occult tradition, and collected cabbalistic manuscripts which today are held in the Jagiellonian Library (Ms 2284). They include numerology predictions (fols. 160r–162v, 194r) described by the queen as “anagrams”. The deciphering of these predictions by replacing the numbers with the corresponding letters of the Latin alphabet enabled the determination of the names and titles of twenty-one persons. The veracity of the deciphering is confirmed by the first two letters of the name which are placed above each numerological representation and by the year of birth of a given person. In addition to Marie Casimire’s son Jakub Ludwik, these are the relatives of the Sobieski family and people related to it by marriage as well as figures of importance to the political life of the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. It was the abbot Pompeo Scarlatti, the ambassador of Maximilian Emmanuel, Elector of Bavaria, in Warsaw, who made the queen interested in numerology; he accompanied her on her journey to Italy and remained at her court in Rome. Marie Casimire took an interest in numerology predictions after a tragedy in 1704, when her sons Jakub Ludwik and Konstanty were kidnapped and imprisoned by Augustus II, to be released only two years later. However, the majority of these predictions date from the years 1711–1713. Contrary to the tradition of maintaining secrecy, binding at Italian academies, the queen disclosed some of the methods of numerology prophesying; however, except for one case, she did not reveal the content of the prophecies hidden behind the obtained numbers.
Deutsche Kürzestgeschichte: Erzähltheoretische Analyse ausgewählter „short short stories“ von Kerstin Hensel und Heiner Feldhoff
Authors: Graca Joanna
Published: November 2020

German Shortest Story: A Narratological Analysis of Chosen „Short Short Stories” by Kerstin Hensel and Heiner Feldhoff Kürzestgeschichte (lit. shortest story), which is the German term for a subcategory of short story, became established as a literary genre in the 20th century. Its condensed content conformed to the hectic pace of life but, in terms of the issues discussed, it was more essential and dedicated to an experienced reader. In this paper, a narratological analysis of selected shortest stories by Heiner Feldhoff and Kerstin Hensel will be conducted. A methodological basis for the analysis is the categories implemented by Gérard Genette. Its aim is to provide an answer to the question whether shortest stories could be, like any other epic texts, subject to a narratological analysis and to what extent the length of a text might influence the findings of such an analysis.
The Potential of Travel as Nomadic Practice. The Situated and Embodied Female Subject in Ulla Bjerne’s Novel to dare being...
Authors: Hackman Boel
Published: November 2020

This article focuses on the novel att våga vara… [to dare being…] (1948) based on the life of the explorer Isabelle Eberhardt (1877–1904), by the Swedish author Ulla Bjerne (1890–1969). Annotations in her diary as well as Eberhardt’s diary and biography, are in addition taken into account, read as examples of female situated embodiment and part of a feminist nomadic practice, as elaborated by Rosi Bradidotti, in Bjerne’s aim to give representation to a new type of woman. It entails resistance to hegemonic, fixed and exclusionary views on feminine subjectivity, the affirmation of movement and the process of becoming, and the construction of new conceptions and images of women. The central hypothesis in the article is that travelling in att våga vara… has a potential to nomadize the female subject both literally and figuratively, in the quest to give representation to a situated, embodied female subjectivity, in both body and word.

Karl August Varnhagen von Ense – an “éminence grise” of German Political Journalism in the 19th Century Karl August Varnhagen von Ense (1785–1858) was a German diplomat, biographer and archivist-collector. He worked as a tutor in the homes of several families of the wealthy Jewish bourgeoisie. This allowed him to get in touch with prominent poets and writers of romanticism, such as Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, Adelbert von Chamisso, Justinus Kerner and Ludwig Uhland. During the Napoleonic Wars Varnhagen served in Austrian and Russian army. 1814 he married Rahel Levin, a Jewish writer who hosted one of the most prominent German literary salons in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Their home in Berlin became the meeting-place of high civil servants, philosophers, writers and artists. Although Varnhagen developed a reputation as an critical writer and journalist, he is most famous as a biographer and archivist-collector. The article investigates Varnhagen’s activities as a journalist and demonstrates journalism as an unknown and unexplored but significant and valuable aspekt of his work, which is substantial in volume.

Despised but not Despicable – Failure of the Rhetoric of Dissuasion in Demain matin, Montréal m’attend by Michel Tremblay In Demain matin, Montréal m’attend, a comedy by Michel Tremblay written in the era of a Quiet Revolution, contempt takes on an argumentative value. Lola Lee, a singer and artist in La Main –an artistic neighborhood in Montreal. Lola’s younger sister –Louise –is jealous of the popularity gained by her older sibling. Lola Lee, in the attempt to discourage Louise from the idea of following in her footsteps travels with her through the most infamous artistic venues. During this trip Louise meets artists with questionable morals. The aim of the article is firstly to show how this journey, instead of generating contempt, becomes the core of searching for your own artistic identity. Secondly, the article explains how Tremblay’s art, using metaphors in the style of Almodóvar, represent the national dramaturgy of Quebec, in which the hero, which is an allegory of the whole society, undergoes an evolution that allows him to appreciate his own identity instead of despising it.
Kresowość Stanisława Vincenza
Authors: Choroszy Jan A.
Published: November 2020

Stanisław Vincenz’s Borderlands Stanisław Vincenz oeuvre, the cycle entitled On the High Uplands, in particular, enriched the borderlands’ tradition with original and separate elements. What is most important for the writer in the history of the borderlands is the multiethnic and multilinguistic social tissue. What emerges to the foreground in his cycle of essays, Dialogi lwowskie [Lviv Dialogues], is the memory of people who considered this city as the top intellectual metropolis of the multinational Polish Republic. The provincial borderland character of Kolomyia and Krivorivnia in Vincenz’s works was subject to the polyphony of cultures within local communities. His hometown, Sloboda Rungurska, became a space of artistic freedom and activity. Borderlands understood in cultural terms were an axiological category, which combined myths and phantasms of Christianity, Polishness in its most noble form and heroic life lived by the ethos of gentry and knighthood. Vincenz’s understanding of the Borderlands touches on axiology, with reference to the Jagiellonian tradition, however, it also transgresses it on the ontological and ethical planes.
De la vida buena a la procura auténtica
Authors: Duque Félix
Published: November 2020

Contra el “Yo soy” de la Modernidad, explicitado y hasta ejecutado como “Yo soy uno de tantos”, Heidegger realza con Kierkegaard el instante ejemplar de la “repetición” (Wieder-holung: acción de habérselas de nuevo el sí-mismo consigo mismo). Es ella la que llama a Heidegger desde Aristóteles, “repetido” desde las nociones de pólis y philía, con centro cordial en el eû zên. Ello implica una mutación de la idea religiosa de “culpa” en el rasgo existentivo de la “deuda” de estar-siendo-sidos: cada uno de nosotros somos deudores de la existencia del otro, en cuanto héteros, en el mundo compartido; tal la mutación concomitante de la procura sustitutoria por aquella que, brotando de antemano, va hacia el poder-ser del otro. Ésta sería la “ética” originaria de Heidegger, si dejamos resonar en ella el êthos en que se forja comunidad.
Leer e interpretar

En este estudio acerca del significado que tiene el concepto de interpretación en las obras de Paul Ricœur y de Hans-Georg Gadamer, se hace hincapié en su relación con el acto de lectura. Apoyándonos en los resultados del análisis de la estructura previa del comprender llevada a cabo por Heidegger en Ser y tiempo, analizamos los conceptos de aplicación, de apropiación y de conocimiento de sí mismo que van íntimamente vinculados al de interpretación. Para terminar, analizamos algunos textos de la Metafísica de Aristóteles que ayudan a precisar en qué consiste el acto de interpretar.

Authors: Rabiu Sani , Mustafa Daud
Published: November 2020

Tax compliance is determined by many factors, which are categorized into social, economic, institutional, demographic and individual factors. In this regard, the main objective of this study is to empirically evaluate and understand tax compliance determinants usingdata generated from agro-allied industries in some selected local government areas of Katsina state, Nigeria. As such, primary source of data was employed through the use of structured questionnaire to collect relevant information from all the 133 agro-allied industries in the study area and multinomial probit model was adopted for estimation. Basically, the findings from this study indicate that tax rate, level of income, perception on government spending, change in government policy, simplicity of tax system and efficiency of the tax authority are significant determinants of tax compliance among agro-allied industries in the study area; whereas perception on equity and peer influence are insignificant determinants. In this connection therefore, the study recommends that government should ensure efficient allocation of public funds, in order to fiscally motivate taxpayers to develop compliance attitude. Also, policy formulation and implementation should physically be centered towards improving the quality of life of citizens, so as to improve taxpayers’ belief in policy makers thereby increasing the level of compliance. And finally, the tax authorities should be transparent and accountable in tax collection, which may result to positive compliance as well as increase in tax revenue yield for national development.

Este artigo investiga resquícios de uma cultura nordestina-cristã/ibero-brasileira que tenha formado a base espíritovisual – a cultura popular sergipana e a religiosidade católica – que parece compor a materialidade dos seus trabalhos. Se fez necessário enaltecer as questões biográficas referentes à vida de Bispo, desvendando a personalidade que o mesmo incute em sua produção, quando extrapola a esquizofrenia diagnosticada e mescla a memória visual da infância com uma missão delegada por vozes dentro de sua mente, para então cumpri-la até o dia de sua passagem.

Authors: Mumtaz Mohsin , Hussain Nageen
Published: November 2020

Purpose: The aim of this review study is to outline rheumatoid arthritis and VEGF participation in rheumatoid arthritis disease development and also to help future researchers in this field.
Study Design: A Review Study.
Subjects and Methods: A number of research articles were systematically reviewed. More sixty research studies related to rheumatoid arthritis and the role of VEGF Gene were examined. The results of these studies are highlighted and compared. 
Results: Rheumatoid Arthritis is capable of causing joint damage, moreover, lead to long term disability in severe cases. Mutation in VEGF due to the involvement of multiple factors (environmental, genetic factors etc) lead to severity in RA patients as it has a role in certain inflammatory processes, angiogenesis etc. Further research needs to be done in this field because many of the factors involve in pathogenesis of RA such as factors that cause loss of tolerance and inflammation in joints, are still unclear.
Conclusion: Although old diagnostic techniques are optimized, we further need to improve the diagnostic and treatment techniques in order to diagnose the patients at early stage. This will pacify patients’ disease severity and provide certain preventive measure that will assist in preventing the aggravation of disease in family members.
