Rehearing “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” in an Era of Global Decolonization: ASK YOUR MAMA's Jazz Poetics
Authors: Challener Scott
Published: March 2021

This essay examines the reception and reinvention of “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” in ASK YOUR MAMA: 12 MOODS FOR JAZZ. It argues that Hughes reconstitutes “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” in “Blues in Stereo”—the fifth section or “mood” of ASK YOUR MAMA—for the era of global decolonization. He does so by embracing jazz as the primary communicative context and mode of address. Hughes's effort illuminates the uneasy tensions that animate the book's differential address to black and white US readerships as well as to readers outside of the U.S. and the Anglophone world. The tensions internal to Hughes's final book-length poem owe their existence to contradictions that Hughes and his contemporaries wrestled with in the period; namely, that the articulation of the possibilities for black internationalist solidarity made them vulnerable to technological “capture” by the culture industry and the State Department. By reflecting on its status as a text mediated both by jazz and by technologies of reproduction, Hughes's later work enjoins us to read and hear it as political precisely in its redistribution of sound and sense. By design, MAMA's jazz poetics sustain alternative structures of address and anticipation that are protective of the collective possibility of reading, playing, and hearing the future otherwise.

Published: March 2021

This study investigates the influence of educational qualification on job satisfaction among librarians in the university libraries of Southern Nigeria. The study adopts an expost-facto research design. The populace consists of overall 841 librarians in federal, state and private university libraries of Southern Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was adopted for the study because the whole population was used as the sample. Data were collected using a self-constructed questionnaire entitled “Educational Qualification and Job Satisfaction Scales” (HEQJS). Two research questions were answered in this study. Copies of the questionnaire were administered to the 841 librarians from 84 university libraries. The data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages and Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient. The results of the study revealed that educational qualification has a relationship with job satisfaction of librarians in the university libraries of Southern Nigeria. The librarians were satisfied with their job. The findings of this study showed the relevance of educational qualification on the job contentment of librarians. This study recommends that in order to boost job fulfilment of librarians in the universities, the heads of the university libraries should encourage the staff for further study in librarianship both in Nigeria and abroad, which will improve their job fulfilment, as well as ease the process of sponsorship of the librarians.

Public Expenditure Management and Political Budget Cycles: The Case of Colima City Council 2009-2018
Authors: Pérez-Cruz Omar Alejandro , Nande-Vázquez Edgar Alfredo , Martínez-Verdugo Juan Carlos
Published: March 2021

The political budget cycles (PBC), as an evolutionary part of the economic political cycle (EPC), demonstrate the existence of opportunistic practices of economic variables, electoral, and budgetary that the politicians in power operate in their management to continue in office. In this sense, the literature suggests a pattern of opportunistic behavior on voters’ myopia, showing that there is little retrospective memory for voters, allowing the party in power to execute public policies successfully. Thus, the objective of the research is to analyze the existence of political budgetary cycles in the management of investment spending by the City of Colima from the years 2009 to 2018. Thus, the objective of the research is to analyze the existence of political budgetary cycles in the management of investment spending by the City of Colima from the years 2009 to 2018. This was analyzed using the panel data methodology (MCO; EF; EA), to estimate the variables dependent on investment and current expenditure, a dummy variable was introduced to identify the year before the election and to be able to control the influence of the electoral period on each regression. The results show that investment spending is related to election periods, population growth, and the federal social aid budget sector. Current expenditure was only related to population growth. This allows us to explain that spending is a resource that finances public works in the states of Mexico. Thus, this research shows that public works is a public expenditure that the states of Mexico apply more in times of elections.
Prognostic factors in acute mesenteric ischemia and
evaluation with multiple logistic regression analysis
effecting morbidity and mortality
Authors: Ozturk Safak , Unver Mutlu , Ozdemir Murat , Bozbıyık Osman , Turk Yigit , Firat Ozgur , Calıskan Cemil
Published: March 2021

Background: Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a catastrophic abdominal emergency characterized by sudden critical interruption to the intestinal blood flow which commonly leads to bowel infarction and death. AMI still has a poor prognosis with an in-hospital mortality rate of 50-69 %. This high mortality rate is related to the delay in diagnosis which is often diffucult and overlooked. Early intervention is crucial and the potential for intestinal viability.
Methods: The charts of 140 patients who were hospitalazed with AMI between May 1997 and August 2013 in Ege University Faculty of Medicine, department of general surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Demographical and clinical features of patients determining the best predictors which effect on morbidity and mortality were evaluated by Multiple Logistic Regression analysis by Enter method after adjustment for all possible confounding factors.
Results: After Multiple LR analysis by Enter method after adjustment for all possible confounding factors affecting morbidity; shock, exploration and stay in hospital were statistically significant. Age, cardiac comorbidities, ASA scores, the time delay between onset of acute abdominal pain to surgery, the presence of acidosis and shock, the involved organs (small bowel and both), type of surgery and medical treatment and small bowel length under 100 cm were statistically significant on mortality.
Conclusion: Risk factors related to mortality and morbidity have been poorly analyzed due to lack of prospective studies and smaller number of patients. Early diagnosis generally depends on clinical awareness and suspicion. Age and time of delay between onset of acute abdominal pain to surgery longer than 24 hours are the most important parameters that predict the mortality for patients presenting with shock and acidosis.
Great saphenous vein sparing versus stripping in
Trendelenburg operation for primary varicose veins:
a prospective study
Authors: Kundal Ashikesh , Kumar Navin , Rajput Deepak , Chauhan Udit
Published: March 2021

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of the great saphenous vein (GSV) sparing versus stripping during Trendelenburg operation for varicose veins.
Methods: This was a prospective randomized study of primary varicose vein patients who underwent Trendelenburg operation. Data of patients operated on over a period of 16 months was collected, including: below knee GSV diameter by Duplex Ultrasound and revised venous clinical severity score (rVCSS), calculated preoperatively and postoperatively at 2nd, 4th, and 8th week.
Results: A total of 36 patients undergoing Trendelenburg operation were included in the study. Nineteen patients underwent GSV sparing while 17 underwent stripping of GSV till just below the knee after juxtafemoral flush ligation of the great saphenous vein. There was a significant decrease in the below-knee GSV diameter (19% after 2 months) and rVCSS (60.8%) in the sparing group. The stripping group also showed an almost similar decrease in below-knee GSV diameter (19.6% after 2 months) and rVCSS (66.3%). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of change in GSV diameter (P = 0.467) and rVCSS (P = 0.781).
Conclusion: Trendelenburg procedure with sparing of GSV can be done routinely for operative management of varicose veins, where surgery is needed.

Published: March 2021

Interpretacje przestrzeni architektonicznej odbywają się na trzech poziomach. Pierwszy, swoiście ponadarchitektoniczny – konstruuje wielodyscyplinarny model Idei, która adekwatnie ukształtuje później również koncept architektury. Drugi – odnosi się do rozwiązań przestrzenno-formalnych i estetycznych. Trzeci – to indywidualnie subiektywne interpretacje dokonywane przez poszczególnych obserwatorów. Pierwszy – abstrakcyjnie kształtuje niematerialną strukturę kompozycji przekazywanej Idei (treści, znaczeń, miejsc, funkcji, estetyki itp.), nadając jej na przykład formę zwartą bądź rozproszoną. Drugi – stanowiąc materialną emanację pierwszego, konstruuje odpowiadającą mu strukturę materialną, na przykład: filozoficznej metafory zwartego gmachu bądź rozproszoną – kompilacyjną. Trzeci – ma odniesienie w doświadczeniach obserwatorów.

THE INTERNET IN MANAGEMENT OF VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE SECTOR OF CULTURE IN THE ERA OF CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Authors: Sobocińska Magdalena
Published: March 2021

The coronavirus pandemic has a number of consequences for the management of various types of market entities. This also applies to the sphere of culture, the specificity of which is expressed, among others, in the processes of creation and reception of artworks, as well as the functions performed by cultural goods, the multiplicity of forms of participation in culture and high uncertainty of demand. New technologies that find application in the sphere of culture, including the Internet, cause that the processes of creating, distributing, and promoting cultural goods have been changing over time. It has also been associated with redefining the divisions and roles performed by professional creators and consumers of their works. However, during the coronavirus pandemic, the importance of the Internet in managing the value for culture consumers has changed. The purpose of the paper is to show the role of the Internet at various stages of the process of management of the value for a participant in culture during the coronavirus pandemic and the potential of new media from the point of view of maintaining relationships with consumers. The paper is based on in-depth studies of literature and research reports, the analysis of activities conducted on the Internet by selected cultural institutions, as well as the results of own empirical research of a qualitative nature, which were performed among participants in culture.

Rozwój zrównoważony i miejska resilience
Authors: Janik Marek
Published: March 2021

Artykuł jest próbą zarysowania relacji pomiędzy dwoma kluczowymi dla współczesnego projektowania urbanistycznego pojęciami: zasadą zrównoważonego rozwoju i rezyliencji miejskiej. Jakkolwiek różnica pomiędzy nimi jest dość oczywista, to z racji ich „zbieżności ideowej”, a także nieostrości obu pojęć zdają się one nakładać na siebie, zwłaszcza przy próbach zastosowania w praktyce. To może prowadzić do skutków odwrotnych od zamierzonych. Aby tego uniknąć, konieczne jest zachowanie holistycznej perspektywy i wykorzystanie podejścia systemowego dla wprowadzania w miastach zmian zgodnych z istotą zrównoważonego rozwoju.
Hyper-ideal Sociality
Authors: Madsen My
Published: March 2021

Within the literature on ‘rushing rituals’ at institutions of higher education, there is a dominant focus on the creation of cohesion or communitas (Turner 1969) between students. This focus causes these rituals to be treated analytically as disjointed from the broader context of the institutional setting. Rushing is often treated as 1) something that figures purely on the level of students and 2) something extraordinary that is opposed to or the opposite of the ordinary life at institutions. Building on extensive fieldwork among students at the Danish Technical University, this article challenges the treatment of rushing as disjointed from the institutional setting. Through empirical examples, the article shows that students’ conduct in rushing is strongly informed by the professional ideals at educational institutions and it is argued that rushing activities can be understood as extreme enactments of these institutional ideals. Rushing activities are conceptualized as rituals of hyper-ideal sociality, that is, social scenarios where institutional ideals become grotesquely clear enactments that legitimize and teach students the social order of institutional life. Through a close analysis of rushing activities at the Danish Technical University the article exemplifies how activities such as partying, fancy dressing, games and competitions come to reflect the professional ideal of the institution and serve as ways to teach and rehearse specific preferable behaviour.

Congenital hypothyroidism is a cause of mental retardation and has nonspecific signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the normal development of children affected by this disorder. The objective of this study was to evaluate the incidence of changes in the screening tests of public hospitals in Presidente Prudente, the average age of the newborn at the time of collection of tests and confirmation of the diagnosis. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the data of newborns who underwent the “heel prick test” by the unified health system in 2017. Of the 3,351 evaluated, 48 had elevated levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), 13 had the diagnosis confirmed congenital hypothyroidism. It was 61.54% the children that returned between days 16 and 30 to confirm the result and 23.07% that returned after 61 days. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential, as they enable mitigating actions for the serious cognitive and behavioral disorders of affected patients.
CORRELAÇÃO ENTRE TEMPO DE DIAGNÓSTICO, TRATAMENTO E SOBREVIDA EM PACIENTES COM CÂNCER DE MAMA: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Leite Gabriel Carlos
Published: March 2021

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women in the world. It is an important public health problem due mainly to its late diagnosis and high mortality. The objective was to perform a review of the literature, looking for studies that correlate the time elapsed between the diagnosis of breast cancer and the beginning of chemotherapy treatment. A bibliographic survey was carried out in the databases: Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), PubMed, International Literature in Health Sciences (MEDLINE), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Library Information System WHO (WHOLIS). The terms “breast cancer” AND “time of diagnosis” were used. The time of diagnosis and start of treatment are essential factors for a longer survival of patients with breast cancer. Rapid treatment contributes to better living conditions and lower costs for the health system.
Will Malawi’s Inflation Continue Declining?
Authors: Kayiska Chavula Hopestone
Published: March 2021

The main objective of this chapter is to examine and determine the main factors that have driven inflation rate in Malawi since 2001, with a special focus on the period 2013–2019, during which inflation rate has continuously declined reaching 9% in 2019, from 36% in 2013. The chapter also tries to assess whether this decline will continue as per the performance of the underlying economic fundamentals both in the short- and the long-run. The study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model framework to examine the drivers of inflation both in the short- and the long-run using quarterly data, over the period of 2001–2019. The results reveal that reduction in headline inflation has mainly been driven by money supply growth, fiscal deficits, and output growth in the short-run, while only output has driven inflation decline in the long-run. The results also show that after floating exchange rate in 2012, inflation decline has mainly been driven by output growth despite inflationary pressures from the exchange rate and import prices. Model forecasts show that inflation may increase up to 19.4% by December 2020, if money supply growth, fiscal deficits, and exchange rate movements are not taken care of.
Integrated Analysis Method for Stability Analysis and Maintenance of Cut-Slope in Urban
Authors: Park Mincheol , Han Heuisoo , Jin Yoonhwa
Published: March 2021

In the process of constructing roads for the development of the city, cut-slopes are made by excavating mountains. However, these cut-slopes are degraded in strength by time-deterioration phenomenon, and progressive slope failure is caused. This study developed an integrated analysis method for stability analysis and maintenance of cut-slopes in urban. The slope stability analysis was performed using the finite element model, and the progressive slope failure by time-dependent deterioration was quantified by using the strength parameters of soil applying the strength reduction factor (SRF). The displacements until the slope failure by slope stability analysis were quantified by cumulative displacement curve, velocity curve, and inverse velocity curve and, applied to the slope maintenance method. The inverse-velocity curve applied to the prediction of the time of slope failure was regressed to the 1st linear equation in the brittle material and the 3rd polynomial equation in the ductile material. This is consistent with the proposed formula of Fukuzono and also shows similar behavior to the failure case in literature. In the future, integrated analysis method should be improved through additional research. And it should be applied to cut-slope to prevent disasters.

Context: Abdominal pain is a widespread complaint and is one of the common reasons leading patients to seek medical care, either in emergency situations or with their primary providers. While acute abdominal pain is a better defined, usually surgical condition, chronic abdominal pain requires longer, typically lifelong, therapy. Chronic abdominal pain may also present with acute flares and complications. Here we review seminal and novel evidence discussing the use of acupuncture in the treatment of abdominal pain, indications, and conditions that may benefit from this approach. Evidence Acquisition: Chronic abdominal pain is a common complaint causing significant morbidity and disability and has a hefty price tag attached. Recent studies show it may be prevalent in as much as 25% of the adult population. It is defined as three episodes of severe abdominal pain over the course of three months. Chronic abdominal pain could be the result of chronicity of acute pain or of chronic pain syndromes, most commonly IBD syndromes and IBS. While a plethora of treatments exists for both conditions, these treatments usually fall short of complete symptom control, and there is a need for complementary measures to curb disability and increase the quality of life in these patients. Acupuncture is a form of integrative medicine that has long been used in Chinese and traditional medicine, based on the rebalancing of the patient’s Qi, or Ying/Yang balance. It has been shown to be effective in treating several other conditions, and novel evidence may expand its use into other fields as well. Clinical trials studying acupuncture in chronic pain conditions have been promising, and recent evidence supports the use of abdominal pain in chronic abdominal pain conditions as well. Though not curative, acupuncture is a complementary approach that helps reduce symptoms and improved quality of life. Conclusions: Chronic abdominal pain is a widespread condition, mostly affected by the IBS and IBD spectrum. Etiologies are still being studied for these conditions, and while novel treatment approaches are absolute game changers for these patients, many continue to experience some level of symptoms and disability. Acupuncture may provide further alleviation of these symptoms in select patients, thus improving quality of life, reducing disability, and saving healthcare dollars. It is a largely safe and inexpensive method that may significantly contribute to the quality of life of selected patients.
From Philosophy of Technology to Bioethics and Biolaw
Authors: Rendtorff Jacob Dahl ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2021

This article is based on an exchange between Peter Kemp and Jacob Dahl Rendtorff on the occasion of Peter Kemp’s seventieth birthday in 2007. It presents the development of Kemp’s ethical philosophy from his philosophy of technology and technology ethics to his philosophy of bioethics and biolaw. It also discusses Kemp’s relation to Existentialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, and Marxism with the development of a critical hermeneutic philosophy of engagement. This is related to Kemp’s work on humanistic ethics of technology in his book on the ethics of the irreplaceable. The article presents Kemp’s long discussion with Paul Ricœur about the ethics of the good life and about narrative ethics. Finally, it elaborates on the bioethical turn towards an ethics for the living world and discusses the role of basic ethical principles of autonomy, dignity, integrity, and vulnerability in relation to cosmopolitan and global responsibility for sustainability and humanity.
Revision of the elusive ant genus Rhopalomastix (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae) in Thailand based on morphology and DNA barcodes, with descriptions of three new species
Authors: Wang Wendy Y. , Yong Gordon W.J. , Jaitrong Weeyawat
Published: March 2021

The actual prevalence and diversity of the elusive Asian ant genus Rhopalomastix Forel, 1900 in Southeast Asia are largely unknown; only two named species were previously known from Thailand. Following substantial newly-collected museum material made available, we used a combined approach based on morphology and complementary DNA evidence to revise the genus in Thailand. Specimens were sorted to putative species by objective clustering of short fragment (313 bp) COI barcodes, after which specimens of each molecular cluster were morphologically examined. With morphology and supporting genetic evidence, we recognize five species of Rhopalomastix in Thailand, including three species new to science: R. impithuksai Wang & Jaitrong sp. nov., R. parva Wang & Jaitrong sp. nov., and R. robusta Wang & Jaitrong sp. nov. Different castes and sexes are described for most species where available. Descriptions of the two extant described species – R. javana Wheeler, 1929 and R. johorensis Wheeler, 1929 – are also revised, taking into account observations from the additional material. A key to Thai species based on the worker caste, with the three new species included, is further provided.
Access to Upper-Level Mathematics: The Stories of Successful African American Middle School Boys
Authors: Berry Robert Q.
Published: March 2021

This article is about 8 African American middle school boys who have experienced success in mathematics. Working within a phenomenological methodological framework, the researcher investigated the limitations these students encounter and the compensating factors they experience. Critical race theory was the theoretical framework for this study; counter-storytelling was utilized to capture the boys' experiences, which is in stark contrast to the dominant literature concerning African American males and mathematics. Five themes emerged from the data: (a) early educational experiences, (b) recognition of abilities and how it was achieved, (c) support systems, (d) positive mathematical and academic identity, and (e) alternative identities.
Judicatura, abogacía e igualdad de género
Authors: Fernández Galiño María Dolores , Lousada Arochena Jose Fernando
Published: March 2021

Las profesiones jurídicas han estado históricamente vedadas a las mujeres debido al prejuicio de su incapacidad para ocupar el espacio público. Por ello, no ha habido mujeres juristas en ningún momento hasta el Siglo XIX, en que tímidamente empezaron las primeras mujeres a estudiar la Carrera de Derecho. Aunque aún hasta bien entrado el Siglo XX se mantuvieron vigentes prohibiciones que las impedían ser Juezas, Fiscalas o Notarias. Eliminadas esas prohibiciones, las mujeres han pasado a integrar las profesiones jurídicas de manera masiva. Pero el prejuicio que las expulsaba de la vida pública, y que las ataba al hogar, sigue vigente, lo que ha determinado que, aún hoy día, existan numerosos déficits de igualdad: escasas mujeres en las cúpulas judiciales, situaciones de menosprecio, brecha salarial.

Legal professions have historically been banned from women due to the prejudice of their inability to occupy public space. Therefore, there have been no women jurists at any time until the 19th century, when the first women timidly began to study the Law Degree. Although even well into the 20th century, prohibitions remained that prevented them from being Judges, Prosecutors or Notaries. With these prohibitions removed, women have begun to integrate legal professions in a massive way. But the prejudice that expelled them from public life, and that bound them to the home, is still in force, which has determined that, even today, there are numerous equality deficits: few women in judicial high courts, harassment, wage gap.

The Long and Narrow Road: An Inuit Student’s Journey Through Post-Secondary Music
Authors: Jacque Kendra , Waterman Ellen
Published: March 2021

Eurocentrism is deeply embedded in the structures governing post-secondary music, from admissions to curricula. In this article, an Inuit student from northeastern Labrador recounts her journey to and through music school, including the challenges of accessing music instruction and navigating the audition, the considerable supports she received from mentors and organizations, and the culture shock, isolation, and racial micro-aggressions she experienced in university. Several recent qualitative studies of Indigenous students’ university experiences provide context for and support our conclusion that decolonization of post-secondary music must include deep structural change to provide broader and more flexible pathways for students and curricula that respond to the needs of a pluralistic society.
Marx, l’industrie et son désoeuvrement
Authors: Bernier Émilie
Published: March 2021

Ce texte propose une réflexion sur la pertinence actuelle de la confiance que Marx plaçait dans le mouvement de l’industrialisation. En analysant les modalités de production de la valeur qui ont cours au sein des économies postfordistes, l’auteure décrit une forme d’exploitation intensifiée se basant de plus en plus sur des processus cognitifs, communicationnels et affectifs, qu’elle comprend d’après ce qu’elle appelle un « paradigme pornographique ». Loin de constituer une entrave à la critique et à la résistance, ce modèle présente le capitalisme actuel comme structure de relations : la matière « biopsychique » qui fait l’objet de cette domination en est une qui, par définition, résiste. L’auteure défend l’hypothèse qu’une certaine faculté plastique et créatrice du vivant permet d’envisager que la poursuite et l’approfondissement du processus industriel attendus par Marx se renversent en désoeuvrement, c’est-à-dire en une composition telle que la puissance productive, dans son propre approfondissement, échappe à toute forme de valorisation.
Art et marchandise : penser le travail artistique avec Marx
Authors: Bédard Pascale
Published: March 2021

Comment penser l’art, comme réalité objective et pratique de création, mais aussi en tant que marchandise ou contre-marchandise ? Cet article prend pour point de départ la critique de la marchandise proposée par Marx afin de poser un regard sur le fonctionnement social, culturel et économique de l’art aujourd’hui. Il soutient que l’oeuvre d’art entretient un rapport complexe et nuancé au monde marchand, ce qui entraîne des conséquences importantes sur l’intégration sociale du travail artistique. Le problème principal de l’articulation entre art et marchandise demeure la question du travail, c’est-à-dire celle de l’artiste lui-même, qui cherche à reproduire sa vie économique, tout en maintenant une pratique fondée dans un autre ordre de finalité. Dans le contexte du capitalisme contemporain, où les valeurs d’authenticité et de créativité triomphent sur les marchés, le travail artistique ne peut être compris sans interroger la notion de vocation et son usage social. Ce faisant, c’est aussi les questions du travail productif, du travail libre, de l’exploitation et du fétichisme qui peuvent renouveler la réflexion sociologique sur la pratique de l’art aujourd’hui.
Phénoménologie de l’esprit pétrifié : Marx, critique de l’organisation capitaliste
Authors: L’Italien François
Published: March 2021

La théorie critique du capital proposée par Marx dans son ouvrage éponyme contient des matériaux conceptuels susceptibles de rendre compte de la formation et des caractéristiques d’un nouveau mode de régulation de la pratique succédant à celui qui a animé les institutions politiques dans le monde moderne. Partant des analyses avancées dans la section IV du Capital, qui portent sur les formes typiques de l’organisation capitaliste, le présent article soutient qu’elles peuvent être lues comme une contribution sociologique à la théorisation critique du système de domination contemporain, caractérisé par le déploiement de dispositifs de contrôle tendanciellement dépourvus de toute réflexivité et de toute finalité substantielle. C’est cependant dans le miroir de la relecture critique de la philosophie hégélienne de l’État qu’une telle contribution peut être pleinement appréciée, puisqu’elle y trouve le motif philosophique et sociologique fondamental par lequel est saisie la logique de l’organisation comme autodéveloppement d’un principe rationnel objectif subordonnant les pratiques particulières à une totalité à portée universelle.
Autopsie d’une erreur de jeunesse : les apories de la critique marxienne de l’institutionnalisme de Hegel
Authors: Filion Jean-François
Published: March 2021

La Contribution à la critique de la philosophie du droit de Hegel, rédigée en 1843 par un Karl Marx alors âgé de vingt-cinq ans, s’avère une oeuvre cruciale de l’histoire de la pensée, qui demeure aujourd’hui d’une grande importance théorique et pratique. C’est en ayant à l’esprit le fait que Marx adhère à une forme d’optimisme anthropologique méconnaissant la nécessité de la médiation politico-juridique pour l’autonomie subjective que nous tenterons d’exposer en quoi son rejet du soi-disant « mysticisme » hégélien s’avère une brillante erreur de jeunesse qu’il reproduira, cependant, dans ses textes ultérieurs. En effet, après plus d’un siècle de sciences sociales et psychologiques, nous savons que la constitution de l’identité implique une dialectique de la reconnaissance intersubjective garantie par la médiation d’un tiers symbolique institué. Nous proposons également de relativiser la radicalité de la critique marxienne de Hegel en tentant de réinscrire la pensée spéculative des institutions dans la signification ontologique du surgissement de la vie sur Terre et du rôle que prennent les médiations culturelles et politico-juridiques dans le maintien et le développement de l’existence humaine.
De la production au travail : à propos d’un changement de paradigme, ou comment Marx est devenu antiproductiviste
Authors: Fischbach Franck
Published: March 2021

Nous défendons dans cet article la thèse selon laquelle l’évolution de sa pensée a conduit Marx à passer d’un paradigme philosophique à un autre, en l’occurrence du paradigme de la production à celui du travail. Nous cherchons à établir qu’il ne s’agit pas seulement du passage d’une pensée de la production à une pensée du travail, mais bel et bien d’une rupture dans la mesure où la philosophie du travail du dernier Marx est une philosophie explicitement antiproductiviste. Enfin, nous nous demandons quelles conséquences il est possible pour nous de tirer aujourd’hui, dans le contexte à la fois de crise du néolibéralisme et de crise écologique globale, de la thèse selon laquelle la position ultime de Marx a été celle d’une philosophie antiproductiviste du travail.

Innovative Alkyd Emulsion Composition Enhanced With Nanosize Iron Oxides for the Protection of Thermally Treated Wood in Outdoor Conditions
Authors:   , Sansonetti Errj
Published: March 2021

Wood has great potential for uses in outdoor conditions, but it can be easily degraded due to the action of environmental factors (solar radiation, moisture, fungi, insects, etc.). The protection of wood is therefore a very actual research topic, and it is also the object of this work. The main goal of this Doctoral Thesis is to obtain a water-based alkyd paint formulation in the form of emulsion and to optimize its composition with necessary additives, in particular, with nanosized red iron oxide pigments which can protect the decorative qualities of thermally treated wood (TTW) during outdoor exposure. In the literature review, the main factors responsible for the degradation of wood and their effect on the structure and properties of wood are summarized. The chemistry of coatings for the protection of wood and the challenges that are faced in reformulation of paints, due to more stringent regulations which limit the use of organic solvents and promote greener alternatives, like water-based paint formulations, are considered. In Europe, this is stated by the Directive 2004/42/EC of the European Parliament on the limitation of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from decorative paints and varnishes. In the first part of the experimental section, the optimal composition of the alkyd emulsion and the effects of additives on the film properties have been investigated. The different chemo-physical properties of thermally treated wood compared with those of untreated wood have been also evaluated. After thermal modification, wood becomes more hydrophobic and this has been confirmed from the changes of the surface energy of thermally treated wood: the polar component of the surface energy decreases with increasing temperature of thermal modification. In the second part of the experimental section, artificial and outdoor weathering tests have been done to determine the suitable concentration of red iron oxide nanoparticles which can give better protection against photodegradation. Results show that red iron oxide pigments at a concentration of 8 % in alkyd emulsion are efficient to protect the wood surface against discoloration. During the outdoor weathering test, the performance of alkyd emulsion has been compared with that of the solvent-based formulation. Results confirm that the water-based alkyd emulsion gives better protection of the thermally treated wood surface than the solvent-based formulation, thus confirming that the replacement of organic solvent with water gives a product with equivalent or better properties for the protection of thermally treated wood in outdoor conditions.
Racismo religioso em escolas da Bahia: autoafirmação e inclusão de crianças e jovens de terreiro

Authors:   Warrane College, University of New South Wales, Shannon Anthony G. , Erdağ Özgür ,   Kafkas University, Turkey, Deveci Ömür ,   Kafkas University, Turkey
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we define the Fibonacci–Pell p-sequence and then we discuss the connection of the Fibonacci–Pell p-sequence with the Pell and Fibonacci p-sequences. Also, we provide a new Binet formula and a new combinatorial representation of the Fibonacci–Pell p-numbers by the aid of the n-th power of the generating matrix of the Fibonacci–Pell p-sequence. Furthermore, we derive relationships between the Fibonacci–Pell p-numbers and their permanent, determinant and sums of certain matrices.
