Intellectual components of personal Soviet experience
Authors: Makarenko V.P.
Published: January 2022

S. S. Neretina defined the time interval between 1917 and 1991 as “Soviet dirt” [Neretina S., 2012, p. 373], and the internal politics of today's Russia as an attempt to construct a neo-Soviet state on a truncated neo-Russian space [Neretina S., 2012, p. 492]. This approach to assessing the situation in the country coincides with one of the general statements of Ernst Jünger: Governments replace each other, like segments of a tapeworm; but their head, their intelligible character, remains the same. Each new one adds a number of new cells to the existing prison. The art of public administration is increasingly reduced to the ability, with all that, to create the illusion of freedom, and, therefore, along with the police, propaganda becomes the main tool [Yunger E., 2007, p. 202]. Hence, the identification and description of the entire variety of forms of intellectual support for the relationship of the illusion of freedom with police and propaganda activities becomes an important task of humanitarian knowledge. In this article I will try to load the given definitions and statements with my own experience of comprehending them passed through the reflections of some contemporaries

Being the first social generation to have grown up with the internet and portable digital technology from a young age, Generation Z and Generation Alpha are seldom aware of affections, devotions, traditions, relationships, and cultures that form the basis for a convivial and serene life. They run in this digital world to cope with the current scenario, failing to take in love and affection. The literature reviews furnish the details that Generation Z and Alpha are bestowed with abundant knowledge and information by technology, but they fail to look at the essential parts of humanity. Hence, this paper aims to use stories as a tool to bring back the beam of happiness in the lives of future humans. The surveys that have been taken show that stories are loved by people of all ages, and so it is easy to educate and revive morals, mannerisms, traditional ideas, and cultures through them. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to rejuvenate these groups through stories to lead a peaceful life, which is the ultimate aim of birth. Stories also provide pleasure and activate the mind to think in the right way since the listener is out of the box.

The Impact Of The Environment On The Poets Of The First Abbasid Era، (Images And Meaning)
Authors: alwan Baqir
Published: January 2022

The environment has occupied a prominent position in the literary text until its subject became a key to the text and deciphering it by searching the secrets of these poetic texts and the environment at the same time. As far as my specialization as concerned my reading of poetic texts led me in the first Abbasid era to delve into the knowledge of the most important influences and components of this poetry. A careful look at these texts reveals to us a fact on which no two disagree it is the reality of the environment and its great impact on the refinement and formation of the poet's personality on the one hand، as well as casting a shadow over the poet's linguistic dictionary and the meanings، significance and expressions of poetry this fact refers to the specificity of the impact of the environment and its role in determining the characteristics of poetry and understanding its movement as pointed out by a number of critics، these and other motives focused my attention on this subject and made it a special starting point from which to research the issue of the environment، poetry and the sign between them.
The Grammatical Sources Of Ali Bin Suleiman Al-Mansouri (Died:1134 Ah) In His Book “Sharah Mandhoomat Al Far’ad Al Wafiyia Bi Thikir Ma Lam Tahwehi Al Alfiyia”

THE IMPACT OF URBAN RENEWAL ON NEIGHBORING HOUSING PRICES: AN APPLICATION OF HIERARCHICAL LINEAR MODELING
Authors: Lee Chun-Chang , Liang Chih-Min , Yeh Wen-Chih , Yu Zheng
Published: January 2022

This study explored the impacts of urban renewal projects on neighboring housing prices. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was employed to analyze urban renewal projects in Taipei City. The Level 1 independent variables pertained to a house itself (19,157 pieces of data), such as its structure and neighborhood attributes. The Level 2 variable pertained to an urban renewal project (23 cases of urban renewal), and the explanatory variable was the scale of each urban renewal project. The study examined whether differences exist between the impacts of various urban renewal projects on neighboring housing prices, and analyzed the extent to which the differences in neighboring housing prices are caused by the differences between urban renewal projects. The empirical results showed that the mean housing price varies significantly between each urban renewal project. In regard to the variance in the mean house price, 31.46% was caused by the differences between the urban renewal projects. The estimated coefficient of the grand floor area of urban renewal (FLAREA) had a positive value and attained a 1% level of significance. This indicates that the larger the scale of an urban renewal project, the larger its effects on neighboring housing prices. The empirical results of this study could better explain the impacts of the scale of an urban renewal project on the externalities of urban renewal.
SUSTAINABLE MEDICAL SUPPLIER SELECTION BASED ON MULTI-GRANULARITY PROBABILISTIC LINGUISTIC TERM SETS
Authors: Liu Peide , Wang Xiyu , Wang Peng , Wang Fubin , Teng Fei
Published: January 2022

The sustainable medical supplier selection (SMSS) is an important issue facing the medical industry in the context of sustainable development, which can be regarded as a typical multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem. In the MAGDM process, linguistic term set (LTS) is particularly natural and convenient for decision makers (DMs) to express evaluation information. Especially, probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) is a very critical and effective tool, which can reflect the importance of different linguistic terms. Due to the different preferences and experience of different DMs, they may use multi-granularity probabilistic linguistic term sets (MGPLTSs) to represent different linguistic information. In this article, in order to study the comparison method of MGPLTSs, a new possibility degree formula is firstly proposed and its properties is proved. Then, in order to build a weight model, a possibility degree-based Best-Worst method (BWM) and a probability degree based-maximizing deviation method are established to calculate the subjective weights and objective weights of attributes, respectively. Where after, a MAGDM method is proposed by combining the ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalite (ELECTRE) method with Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method in the multi-granularity probabilistic linguistic information environment. Finally, the created MAGDM method is applied to the SMSS, and its effectiveness and advantages compared with other existing methods are verified.
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough: Semiparametric Modeling of LIGO–Virgo’s Binary Black Hole Mass Distribution
Authors: Edelman Bruce , Doctor Zoheyr , Godfrey Jaxen , Farr Ben
Published: January 2022

We introduce a semiparametric model for the primary mass distribution of binary black holes (BBHs) observed with gravitational waves (GWs) that applies a cubic-spline perturbation to a power law. We apply this model to the 46 BBHs included in the second gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-2). The spline perturbation model recovers a consistent primary mass distribution with previous results, corroborating the existence of a peak at 35 M
⊙ (>97% credibility) found with the Powerlaw+Peak model. The peak could be the result of pulsational pair-instability supernovae. The spline perturbation model finds potential signs of additional features in the primary mass distribution at lower masses similar to those previously reported by Tiwari and Fairhurst. However, with fluctuations due to small-number statistics, the simpler Powerlaw+Peak and BrokenPowerlaw models are both still perfectly consistent with observations. Our semiparametric approach serves as a way to bridge the gap between parametric and nonparametric models to more accurately measure the BBH mass distribution. With larger catalogs we will be able to use this model to resolve possible additional features that could be used to perform cosmological measurements and will build on our understanding of BBH formation, stellar evolution, and nuclear astrophysics.
A taxonomic revision of the Malagasy endemic subgenus Mayria of the genus Camponotus (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) based on qualitative morphology and quantitative morphometric analyses
Authors: Rasoamanana Nicole , Fisher Brian L.
Published: January 2022

The subgenus Mayria of the genus Camponotus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is revised. The subgenus is endemic to Madagascar where it occupies a broad range of habitats, from deciduous and dry forest to rainforest. A taxonomic review is provided of this subgenus, integrating multiples lines of evidence including qualitative morphology and quantitative morphometry. Species hypotheses are formed by Nest Centroid clustering. In total, 36 species are treated, of which eleven are newly described: Camponotus andrianjakasp. nov., Camponotus antsaraingysp. nov., Camponotus chrislainisp. nov., Camponotus claverisp. nov., Camponotus ivadiasp. nov., Camponotus jjacquiasp. nov., Camponotus maintilanysp. nov., Camponotus norvigisp. nov., Camponotus ihazofotsysp. nov., Camponotus tsimelahysp. nov., Camponotus zorosp. nov. Five species are redescribed. Camponotus themistocles Forel stat. nov., is raised to species. In addition, the subgenus is redefined to include 39 species. Twenty-two previously described species are transferred to this subgenus and thirteen species previously placed in the subgenus are transferred out of the subgenus. Nine morphologically consistent species groups are delineated to facilitate species identification within the subgenus. This revision includes a classification, a key to species groups, and an updated key to species based on the minor worker caste.

Qu’est-ce qui fait qu’une ville est grande ? À la fin du xvi e  siècle, Giovanni Botero répond à cette question en des termes neufs. La grandeur d’une ville est donnée par la multitude de sa population dont la croissance est déterminée par la combinaison de causes parmi lesquelles prévalent le commerce et l’industrie.
La transition urbaine en Europe au xix e siècle
Authors: Benyoucef Amin
Published: January 2022

La transition urbaine est perçue comme l’un des aspects centraux de la croissance économique européenne du xix e  siècle. Définie comme un processus conduisant les sociétés à de forts taux d’urbanisation, elle résulte à la fois de migrations massives des campagnes vers les villes, et de la mise en place d’infrastructures publiques qui rendent possibles de fortes densités de population.
Ville et émergence du capitalisme
Authors: Delhomme Flora , Gentile Guillaume
Published: January 2022

Cet encadré revient sur plusieurs travaux issus de la sociologie urbaine qui ont étudié les liens entre la ville et l’émergence du système économique capitaliste. Au tournant du xx e  siècle, Max Weber et Georg Simmel interrogent le rôle de la ville dans le développement du capitalisme moderne en utilisant deux approches différentes. L’approche socio-historique de M. Weber le conduit à interroger le rôle joué par les villes, de l'Antiquité au xix e  siècle, dans l'émergence de l’État moderne, alors que G. Simmel se concentre sur les bouleversements que son siècle connaît à la suite de l’émergence des grandes métropoles urbaines. Les années 1970 marquées par la crise économique et les luttes urbaines renouvellent l’analyse sociologique de ces enjeux, notamment par une approche marxiste étudiant la ville comme le lieu de reproduction de l’industrie capitaliste à travers l’accumulation de capitaux urbains.
Le métabolisme urbain : comprendre la ville par ses flux

Published: January 2022

Les villes peuvent être étudiées à partir des flux de matière et d’énergie qui les traversent. L’approche par le concept de métabolisme, emprunté à la biologie, apporte un éclairage sur plusieurs facettes des villes comme leur matérialité, l’origine de leur richesse, leur rapport aux autres territoires, ainsi que les inégalités et conflits de pouvoir qui les caractérisent.
L’attractivité du territoire en tant que stratégie
Authors: Houllier-Guibert Charles-Edouard
Published: January 2022

L’attractivité est envisagée dans cet article comme une orientation stratégique qui vient légitimer des politiques publiques locales et nationales. Elle confirme l’esprit de compétitivité déjà impulsé depuis le début du siècle par l’action publique. La nouvelle avancée concerne la recherche de l’« attrait », qui est probablement renforcée comme choix politique, même s’il est difficile de le mesurer. Pour autant, les opérations visant à améliorer l’attrait sont utilisées de manière diverse et éparse.

Attirer la classe créative : la théorie de Richard Florida et ses prolongements
Authors: Glass Audrey , Philadelphe Divry Cédric
Published: January 2022

Selon l'économiste américain Richard Florida, la « classe créative » serait le moteur du développement des économies post-industrielles. La présence de cette catégorie d'individus, urbaine et innovatrice, jouerait un rôle majeur dans l’attractivité économique locale. Si cette théorie permet d’identifier de nouveaux facteurs d’attractivité, son applicabilité reste limitée.
Le modèle français de la métropole attractive et ruisselante : Pourquoi il est urgent de s’en débarrasser
Authors: Bouba-Olga Olivier
Published: January 2022

L’idée selon laquelle les métropoles seraient plus compétitives que les autres territoires, en vertu de leur plus grande attractivité, s’est progressivement imposée en France. Il conviendrait donc de les soutenir et de favoriser leur ruissellement. Nous montrons dans cet article les limites de ce nouveau modèle de développement, en remettant en question l’idée même de modèle à reproduire, en interrogeant la notion de métropole, et en montrant les limites des politiques d’attractivité.

Exode urbain et télétravail : cette fois, c’est différent ?
Authors: de l’Estoile Étienne , Subtil Hugo
Published: January 2022

Le télétravail allège la contrainte spatiale qui structure les choix résidentiels des ménages, et permet d’expliquer l’urbanisation. Sa généralisation pourrait favoriser un départ des travailleurs qualifiés hors des villes et s’apparenter à un exode urbain, annoncé depuis plusieurs décennies. Ces conjectures invitent à une réflexion pour redéfinir les frontières de l’urbain.

The effects of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal (HM) on gut morphology, gut microbial community, and humoral immune response was evaluated in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) juveniles. For that purpose, fish with 18.0±0.02 g were fed a control diet (CTR) without HM, and 3 other diets including 10, 20 and 30% HM (diets HM10, HM20 and HM30, respectively), replacing 17, 35 and 52% of fish meal (FM), for 9 weeks. The meagre distal intestine (DI) showed no significant histomorphologic alterations in fold height, lamina propria, submucosa width and cellularity, and enterocytes shape, between dietary treatments. Increasing numbers of eosinophilic granulocytes and intraepithelial leukocytes were observed in fish fed the HM30 diet compared to the CTR and HM10 diets. The mean DI score was higher in meagre fed the HM30 diet, denoting increased overall histomorphological alterations in that group compared to fish fed the CTR diet. No differences in gut bacterial profiles (number of operational taxonomic units, microbiota richness, diversity, and similarity indices) were observed between dietary treatments, either in allochthonous (digesta) and autochthonous (mucosa) communities. Plasma anti-protease activity increased with increasing dietary HM level, while no significant differences were observed in the plasmatic protease, peroxidase, lysozyme and bactericidal activities, nitric oxide production and total immunoglobulins. Overall, and in order to avoid gut histomorphological alterations, an inclusion level up to 10% of HM, corresponding to 17% of FM replacement, is recommended for meagre juveniles.
On deterministic solutions for multi-marginal optimal transport with Coulomb cost
Authors: Bindini Ugo , De Pascale Luigi , Kausamo Anna
Published: January 2022

In this paper we study the three-marginal optimal mass transportation problem for the Coulomb cost on the plane \begin{document}$ \mathbb R^2 $\end{document}. The key question is the optimality of the so-called Seidl map, first disproved by Colombo and Stra. We generalize the partial positive result obtained by Colombo and Stra and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the radial Coulomb cost to coincide with a much simpler cost that corresponds to the situation where all three particles are aligned. Moreover, we produce an infinite class of regular counterexamples to the optimality of this family of maps.

The effect of rebate value and selling price-dependent demand for a four-level production manufacturing system
Authors: Mishra Umakanta , Mashud Abu Hashan Md , Roy Sankar Kumar , Uddin Md Sharif
Published: January 2022

Price rebate is only permitted when purchases made by the customer exceed a predefined limit and they later buy other items from the purchaser. There are various forms of rebate used by production companies. This study provides a deteriorating inventory model of four-level production rates and derives the rebate-value-based demand with the product selling price under shortages. This model gives preference to optimal replenishment time, ordering quantity, rebate value, and selling price while maximizing total profit. This model first explores and discusses the demand function, which discretely hinges on the selling price of rebate value, followed by discussions on demand based on the selling price. This study proposes a solution through unique propositions and the construction of two algorithms that are suitable for four-level production; this has not yet been explored in-depth in the literature. Illustrative examples and a sensitivity analysis demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithms; the customer decides to buy a product that is larger than the minimum suitable for a price rebate and the buyer can then deal with a higher price rebate. The benefit of rebate marketing helps production companies increases conversion rates and encourages customers to purchase goods. This model demonstrates that proposing rebates can consume substantial pricing and inventory inferences and can result in a substantial increase in profit.
Ulam-Hyers stability for conformable fractional integro-differential impulsive equations with the antiperiodic boundary conditions
Authors: Wan Fan ,   College of Science, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, 200093, China, Liu Xiping , Jia Mei
Published: January 2022

This paper focuses on the stability for a class of conformable fractional impulsive integro-differential equations with the antiperiodic boundary conditions. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the integro-differential equations are studied by using the fixed point theorem under the condition of nonlinear term increasing at most linearly. And then, the Ulam-Hyers stability and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability for the boundary value problems are discussed by using the nonlinear functional analysis method and constraining related parameters. Finally, an example is given out to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of our main conclusions. It is worth mentioning that the stability studied in this paper highlights the role of boundary conditions. This method of studying stability is effective and can be applied to the study of stability for many types of differential equations.

Published: January 2022

In this paper, a new M-eigenvalue inclusion set for a partially symmetric tensor is provided. It is proved that the new set is tighter than some existing M-eigenvalue inclusion sets. Based on the obtained results, an upper bound of the largest M-eigenvalue is given and a modified WQZ-algorithm is established which guarantees the generated converges to the largest M-eigenvalue of the tensor faster.
A Brief Study on the Achievement of Syukuro Manabe, Awardee of 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics
Authors: HA Kyung-Ja
Published: January 2022

Manabe Syukuro is well known as a father of climate modeling. He and his colleagues have achieved several important milestones in the research on global warming. In this article, two highly advanced subjects are described. In the early 1960s, he developed a radiative-convective model of the atmosphere and explored the role of greenhouse gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone in maintaining and changing the thermal structure of the atmosphere. His study was the beginning of long-term research on global warming. In 1969, Manabe and Bryan published the first results from a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model (OAGCM). However, this model used a highly idealized continent-ocean configuration. Results from the first coupled OAGCM with more realistic configurations were published in 1975, which eventually became a very powerful tool for the simulation of global warming.

Authors: KWON Chulan
Published: January 2022

The spin-glass phase is characterized by the existence of many pure states due to random exchange interactions between spins. Parisi established the novel concept of replica symmetry breaking (RSB) from Sherrington Kirkpatrick’s mean-field theory via an abstract replica trick. In this article, his RSB scheme is reviewed from the view point of infinitely many pure states.
Pratiques (numériques) de rétroaction corrective des enseignants de langue et prototype d'outil numérique pour les optimiser
Authors: Hamel Marie-Josée , Bibeau Louis-David
Published: January 2022

Cet article décrit un projet de recherche-développement à visée formative qui porte sur les pratiques (numériques) de rétroaction corrective écrite (RCE) des enseignants de langue et la conception d'un outil numérique qui vise à les optimiser. L'article propose d'abord une vue d'ensemble sur le concept de RCE et sur les recherches empiriques qui se sont intéressées à la RCE du point de vue des enseignants. On y présente ensuite les faits saillants de deux enquêtes, pré (n = 25) et en pandémie (n = 17), sur les pratiques (numériques) de RCE d'enseignants de langue. Les résultats montrent que la RCE est une tâche importante et fastidieuse pour les enseignants, qui ont tendance à fournir des RCE exhaustives et axées sur la forme. Ils montrent aussi certaines pratiques numériques en place avant la pandémie, principalement liées à l'usage de logiciels de traitement de texte, et que la pandémie a amplifiées. Enfin, ils valident les fonctions proposées pour notre outil, qui permet à l'enseignant de développer des grilles d'annotation, d'annoter les textes et d'obtenir des statistiques de performance linguistique, notamment lexicales. Nous présentons brièvement cet outil en mettant en évidence ses affordances pour la RCE. Nous concluons en annonçant les suites du projet.
Usage pédagogique des ressources éducatives libres : quelles tensions entre ouverture et didactisation des ressources numériques ?
Authors: Massou Luc
Published: January 2022

Ce texte invité revient sur les freins actuellement identifiés dans l'usage et la réappropriation des ressources éducatives libres (REL) par les enseignants, pour lesquelles l'équilibre est parfois complexe à trouver entre ouverture des ressources numériques à un public d'usagers le plus large possible et choix didactiques inscrits lors de la conception de la ressource elle-même. De manière plus globale, cette problématique questionne la prise en compte de la transposition didactique – qui est l'une des composantes de la forme scolaire et universitaire – dans les ressources numériques partagées au sein d'une communauté éducative, et de son impact sur les usages potentiels de ces REL et sur leur réappropriation à plus large échelle.
Machine Translation in Foreign Language Writing: Student Use to Guide Pedagogical Practice
Authors: Hellmich Emily A.
Published: January 2022

The recent advent of more powerful machine translation (MT) tools has significant implications for foreign language teaching and learning. While current research and pedagogical guidelines on MT in the foreign and second language classroom have focused primarily on survey data, less is known about how students actually use MT tools. The current article chronicles a computer tracking study of novice learners of French as a Foreign Language (n=26) as a way to inform this field of research. Drawing on diverse data sources (screen-recorded observations, retrospective recalls, post-interviews) and a Critical Incident Technique analytical approach, the article showcases the actions and cognitive processes related to MT that both supported and hindered student participants in their foreign language writing. Supportive behaviors and mindsets centered on a specific awareness of MT tool limitations paired with appropriate action while detrimental behaviors and mindsets centered on inappropriate input, lack of output analysis, and time. Suggestions for how these use-based findings might inform how MT is discussed in the language classroom conclude the article.

Le jeu numérique d'apprentissage se caractérise par la combinaison de trois dimensions définitoires : ludique, pédagogique et numérique. L'appellation "jeu d'apprentissage" juxtapose les deux premières et porte le signe d'une complexité sous-jacente bien souvent ignorée au niveau de la conception : soit trop peu ludique, soit trop peu documentée dans sa dimension pédagogique. Cet article propose une grille d'analyse dont l'ambition est de déconstruire l'objet afin de mettre au jour les composantes ludiques, interactives et didactiques sur lesquelles repose leur conception. La mise en regard des trois dimensions devrait permettre d'observer si certains recoupements s'opèrent et si les choix effectués par les concepteurs pour chaque dimension sont cohérents les uns avec les autres.
Identity Work
Authors: View Jenice L. , DeMulder Elizabeth K. , Stribling Stacia M. , Dallman Laura L.
Published: January 2022

The authors describe the first crucial step in antiracist teacher professional development – developing a deep understanding of one's identity. After providing the theoretical framework behind this approach and sharing their own stories of their identity development as antiracist educators, the authors describe the curricular approaches they used to engage teachers in exploring the self. They also share the outcomes of these efforts and the tensions and dilemmas that arise when supporting teachers to examine their identities in the process of becoming antiracist educators.
Struggles With Historical Trauma
Authors: Koenig Kirsten A.
Published: January 2022

The chapter presents results from a qualitative phenomenological heuristic study of the perceptions of historical trauma across Native American nations. Historical trauma has been established as a by-product of cultural and physical suppression. Cultural psychology details the impact of an individual's culture on the psychological development of the individual. Therefore, by examining the change to the culture that resulted in historical trauma, determination could be made regarding how the individual was impacted. This research addressed these contentions by interviewing Native American persons from the Eastern and Northern nations of North America and Canada and determined how historical trauma had influenced their psychological development via symptoms they experienced. The research identified several areas that differed from the extant literature regarding the Eastern and Northern nations.
Microaggressions
Authors: Johnson Natasha N. , Johnson Thaddeus L.
Published: January 2022

Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults toward people who are not classified within the “normative” standard. Perpetrators of microaggressions are often unaware that they engage in such communications when they interact with people who differ from themselves. This review of microaggressions in its numerous forms seeks to address the current literature regarding aversive behavior and its impacts; this includes investigating the manifestation and influence of everyday “isms,” on the quality of life of those on the receiving end of these acts. Ensuing suggestions regarding institutional-level education, training, and research—particularly in the higher educational realm—in the work towards reducing microaggression-inducing behaviors are discussed.
Impacting and Influencing the System to Support Student Career Readiness, Voice, and Efficacy
Authors: Schneider Jennifer
Published: January 2022

This chapter provides context for the design of an experiential, service-learning-based capstone course that provides students with meaningful service-based learning experiences. Through experiential learning and publication opportunities, students develop transferable career development, communication, writing, and critical thinking skills. It is a related goal that students leave this course with improved self and collective efficacy and a fundamentally heightened awareness of their own potential to create positive change in their community.

Authors: Fuentes Milton A. , Shannon Casey R. , Ahluwalia Muninder K. , Collier Crystal S.
Published: January 2022

This chapter considers transgressions that students and faculty of color face in higher education. Specifically, the chapter examines how implicit bias and microaggressions affect the experiences of students and faculty of color. Special attention is paid to strategies that prevent or address these transgressions from both personal and contextual approaches. The chapter ends with a thought-provoking case study that portrays the multifaceted dimensions of these troubling transgressions in the classroom and provides the reader with some reflection questions to consider.
Situational Analysis of Muslim Children in the Face of Islamophobia
Authors: Farooqui Jannat Fatima , Kaushik Archana
Published: January 2022

Islamophobia is a reality today that finds its manifestations at different levels of society and has been researched through diverse gendered, ethnic, and regional perspectives. The sensitivity of the topic has resulted in limited work around exploring consequences of Islamophobia on Muslim children. As religiously charged crimes against Muslims in the West continue to grow, Islamophobia has crept into the schools, classrooms, and playgrounds of many countries and needs to be recognized and effectively mitigated. Based in a child rights-based context, this chapter is a review of empirical literature that attempts to characterize and theorize Islamophobia to understand why and how it affects the lives of Muslim children. It accounts for varied Islamophobic experiences that children encounter in regions of North America and Europe. It is inferred that educational institution cannot be isolated from global incidents of Islamophobia and become sites for further propagating racist sentiments. The chapter ends with school social work model directed towards prevention and reduction of Islamophobia.
Machitia
Authors: Organista Joél-Léhi
Published: January 2022

Machitia is an educator-focused mobile app prototype where educators create, collaborate, and share lesson plans. These lesson plans embed the following liberating and transformative theoretical frameworks and pedagogies called in this chapter “circles of liberation”: (1) Dis/ability critical race theory (DisCrit), (2) biliteracy, (3) culturally sustaining pedagogy, (4) radical healing, (5) critical pedagogy, (6) proficiency-based learning, (7) queer theory, and (8) decolonizing theory. After introducing those frameworks, a mapping of currently existing educator-focused platforms prelude the review of mobile technology theoretical frameworks Machitia's design incorporates. Then, the discussion turns to how all the circles of liberation and mobile technology theoretical frameworks manifest as features within Machitia. By the end of the chapter, learners and educators will have a sense of the various possibilities of, and the need for, an education-focused liberation platform.
Silenced, Shamed, and Scatted
Authors: Jones V. Nikki , Dopwell Donna M. , Curry Lauren C.
Published: January 2022

The African American experience is grounded in a strong religious tradition that does not adequately address sexual violence against women. This chapter offers perspective on how religiously-motivated heterocentric-patriarchy marginalizes Black female sexual trauma survivors. Recommendations are informed by Black feminisms in order to support culturally congruent practice. These interventions emphasize Black women's lived experience, raise awareness of multilevel oppression, and foster the empowerment of Black women. Basic treatment considerations for African American female trauma survivors and their support systems are provided.
Race, Class, and Community Cultural Wealth
Authors: Ezikwelu Evelyn
Published: January 2022

Culture has been established as an integral part of the successful parental involvement of Black parents in K-12 public schools. This chapter explores the implications of institutional racism and classism against Black parents and how schools as social institutions perpetuate discrimination through the hidden curriculum, which often upholds the dominant culture's values, norms, and beliefs. This chapter also investigates how schools operate within the dominant ideology that upholds the White middle-class form of cultural capital as the standard form of capital, thereby devaluing the cultural skills that Black parents use to help children achieve academic success in school. In addition, the literature demonstrates that the unique forms of cultural capital Black parents draw from to help their children succeed in school challenge the dominant ideology that Black parents lack the required capital for school success and are not interested in their children's education.
Overcoming the Layers of Obstacles
Authors: Jackson Helen C.
Published: January 2022

This chapter documents the experiences in the journey of an African American female physicist. They correspond to those in documented studies of other African Americans and females in both the specific field of physics as well as the broader area of all STEM. When scaled with the norm of these groups, there is a thread of consistencies in the obstructions and difficulties that seem to be common to the underrepresented. This writing, which is adopted from the author's previous contribution to a similar topic, seeks to continue to reinforce the challenges women of color have experienced in pushing for advances obtained thus far. The scientific Ph.D. community is an area that many have felt was immune to the difficulties faced by African Americans on the lower end of society. It is evident that our society is neither “post-racial” nor “post-sexist,” even on the higher intellectual turf. With a level playing field that is established by removing the obstacles that systemic racism creates—obstacles like unfair roadblocks—accomplishing one's dreams is attainable.
Agnotology and Ideology
Authors: King Victorene L.
Published: January 2022

During periods of local and national unrest, leaders engage in discussions surrounding the reexamination of old policies and the consideration of new policies. Their changes to policies and procedures may be symbolic to silence objections or performative to feign new awareness, but symbolic and performative changes will not lead to transformative change. So how does a nation fix a problem of which many of its citizens are mostly ignorant? How do organizations redress inequitable hiring practices when they believe America is a meritocracy where everyone has the same chance of succeeding? How do educational institutions restructure teaching practices when the predominately White teacher workforce continues to resist talking about race? Transformative change will require the unexamined power of Eurocentric culture and thought that normalizes the marginalization, oppression, and subordination of Communities of Color and other groups of people based on gender, class, and citizenship to be completely exposed and then abolished.
Action Research, Design Thinking
Authors: Conwill William Louis , Bailey Ronald William
Published: January 2022

Narratives of unruly Black children in failing schools often normalize hopelessness at the expense of students. Newer, sometimes silenced voices, however, can produce counter-narratives that can lead to ecological solutions for assisting traumatized students. This is a case study of the transformation of a principal who asked, “What's wrong with these children?” to an advocate whose inquiry shifted to “What happened to these children, and what must we do to help them?” With trauma awareness and behavioral management training for her staff, improvements began. The local school board cut her successes short by changing the lock on her office door on the day before teachers returned for the Fall Semester and informed her that her services were no longer needed. What is the lesson for the consultant?
Black Joy as Emotional Resistance
Authors: Destine Shaneda L. , Destine Shaina V.
Published: January 2022

This research situates the experiences of two married Black Queer women from working-class backgrounds, who are young academic professionals working in contingent positions in the Midwest during Trump's first year in office. Using a critical collaborative autoethnography, the authors situate their social media posts, reflections, and stories in the broader literature that denotes the challenges of spousal accommodations and diversity positions in corporatized universities for faculty and staff of color. The findings extend the literature by outlining the various ways in which we experience oppression as married Black Queer women in the university, surrounding community, and are burdened with diversity work without systemic intervention and institutional buy-in, in the Midwest. They share their stories to combat the silencing of their struggles and provide a path toward survival under these circumstances. They outline how the use of social media, writing, and creating intentional spaces of Black Joy have aided them as they move through their careers.
