Gamificación en el entorno universitario: Un break out educativo en asignaturas de Génesis de Suelos
Authors: Moreno-Ramón Héctor , Ibáñez-Asensio Sara
Published: September 2019

La gamificación es una de las metodologías actuales más implantadas en el ámbito educacional en los últimos años. Más concretamente ha sido implantada en niveles de educación de primaria y secundaria, siendo reticente su aplicación en ámbitos de la educación superior. Frente a una clase tediosa y monótona, llena de contenidos de mineralogía, se pretende aplicar dicha metodología en una asignatura de primer curso de los grados de Ingeniería forestal y agronómica en la Universitat Politècnica de Valencia. Un total de 173 alumnos realizaron una actividad practica con el uso de diferentes pruebas para reconocer minerales (crucigramas, códigos qr, etc.). El objetivo principal era motivar al alumno y que este aprendiera y afianzara los conocimientos adquiridos anteriormente al tener que realizar de forma autónoma en casa un trabajo previo (flip teaching). Los resultados demostraron que la gamificación motiva al estudiante, puesto que más del 80% del alumnado encuestado vio motivante dicha actividad, clasificándola como adecuada para el nivel universitario más del 90% de los alumnos.

Published: September 2019

El presente trabajo se enclava en el EICE  Baños de Realidad que tiene como objetivo implementar didácticas fuera del aula, para acercar al alumnado a futuros entornos laborales, centrándose en la experiencia de vincular el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje con una situación real profesional en una empresa relevante del ambito artístico. Se trata de un proceso en el que la actividad del alumno no se queda en una hipótesis propuesta en el aula sino se convierte en una realidad y se desarrolla en la empresa Museo Molino Papelero Les Capellades de Barcelona. La empresa se involucra en el aprendizaje del estudiante y les proporciona criterios evidentes para profesionalizar sus resultados, y dotarles de juicios objetivos para su autoevaluación. Por otra parte interviene de forma indirecta junto con el profesor en su evaluación. Experiencia que se puede extrapolar a cualquier empresa y ámbito. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran la predisposición del alumnado y el cambio de rol que adoptan una vez salen del aula, consiguiendo mejores resultados en la evaluación y mayor implicación en la asignatura.
El uso de los dispositivos electrónicos móviles como herramienta docente de una asignatura de Grado
Authors: Alcaide M. Ángeles , De La Poza Elena
Published: September 2019

En la actualidad, los alumnos que estudian titulaciones universitarias están acostumbrados al uso y consulta constante en Internet y en redes sociales a través de sus ordenadores portátiles, tablets y fundamentalmente teléfonos móviles “smartphones”. Es por ello, que estas herramientas pueden ser un obstáculo en la comunicación alumno-docente. Por otra parte, es posible considerar la utilización de las mismas como herramientas docentes, integrándolas en las aulas para facilitar el aprendizaje, siempre y cuando el alumno sea consciente y responsable del uso que hace de ellas. Así, el uso de dispositicos electrónicos podrían ser catalizadores del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Esta contribución analiza la idoneidad del uso de los dispositivos electrónicos de telefonía móvil en el aula. Para ello, en primer lugar, se analizan los hábitos y el uso que hacen los alumnos de estos dispositivos electrónicos. En segundo lugar, se detalla la política de utilización de dispositivos electrónicos en las sesiones de clase de la asignatura de Empresa impartida en el Grado de Ingeniería Aeroespacial en relación a la competencia transversal N7, que es punto de control, y por último, se realiza un análisis DAFO de los principales aspectos de su implementación en la docencia.
The Islamic–Byzantine Frontier
Authors: Eger A Asa
Published: September 2019

The retreat of the Byzantine army from Syria in around 650 CE, in advance of the approaching Arab armies, is one that has resounded emphatically in the works of both Islamic and Christian writers, and created an enduring motif: that of the Islamic-Byzantine frontier. For centuries, Byzantine and Islamic scholars have evocatively sketched a contested border: the annual raids between the two, the line of fortified fortresses defending Islamic lands, the no-man's land in between and the birth of jihad. In their early representations of a Muslim-Christian encounter, accounts of the Islamic-Byzantine frontier are charged with significance for a future 'clash of civilizations' that often envisions a polarised world. A. Asa Eger examines the two aspects of this frontier: its physical and ideological ones. By highlighting the archaeological study of the real and material frontier, as well as acknowledging its ideological military and religious implications, he offers a more complex vision of this dividing line than has been traditionally disseminated.With analysis grounded in archaeological evidence as well the relevant historical texts, Eger brings together a nuanced exploration of this vital element of medieval history.

In this way, Eger's volume contributes to a more complex vision of the frontier than traditional historical views by bringing to the fore the layers of a real ecological frontier of settlement and interaction. For Eger, exposing the settlements and communities of the frontier constitutes a crucial gesture for understanding the interaction of two civilizations in a contested yet connected world. This work is thus vital for students of not only the medieval period and Byzantine and Islamic studies, but also for readers attempting to understand the ways in which frontiers and borders shape the construction of identity while functioning outside the traditionally understood state.
Requiem for a Junk-Bird: Violence, Purity and the Wild
Authors: Reinert Hugo
Published: September 2019

The article describes an experiment in captive-bred supplementation of a highly endangered wild bird species that took place in the Norwegian Arctic a few years ago. Following the fate of a single bird, over the course of two years, the argument lays out some of the powerful conceptual, political and affective stakes involved in the experiment. The brief life of the bird, named A16, was contained almost entirely within an unresolved tension between salvific urgency and a purist biopolitics, deeply committed to the preservation of vanishing (or vanished) forms. Behind the scenes of the experiment, ornithological factions clashed over issues like genetic purity, the integrity of migration routes and the potential for behavioral contamination. Laying out the stakes of this, the argument begins to develop an account of salvific violence in conservation work—a framework for questioning the affective investments that drive purificatory biopolitics, especially during a time of planetary turmoil. What stands to be saved, what must be destroyed? What is a species, exactly, such that it can (or cannot) be saved in certain ways? What was A16?
Moving Birds in Hawai'i: Assisted Colonisation in a Colonised Land
Authors: Van Dooren Thom
Published: September 2019

In September 2011, a delicate cargo of 24 Nihoa Millerbirds was carefully loaded by conservationists onto a ship for a three-day voyage to Laysan Island in the remote Northwest Hawaiian Islands. The goal of this effort was to establish a second population of this endangered species, an “insurance population” in the face of the mounting pressures of climate change and potential new biotic arrivals. But the millerbird, or ulūlu in Hawaiian, is just one of the many avian species to become the subject of this kind of “assisted colonisation.” In Hawai'i, and around the world, recent years have seen a broad range of efforts to safeguard species by finding them homes in new places. Thinking through the ulūlu project, this article explores the challenges and possibilities of assisted colonisation in this colonised land. What does it mean to move birds in the context of the long, and ongoing, history of dispossession of the Kānaka Maoli, the Native Hawaiian people? How are distinct but entangled process of colonisation, of unworlding, at work in the lives of both people and birds? Ultimately, this article explores how these diverse colonisations might be understood and told responsibly in an era of escalating loss and extinction.
(A)wake for ‘the Passions of this Earth’: Extinction and the Absurd ‘Ethics’ of Novel Ecosystems
Authors: Smith Michael
Published: September 2019

Drawing on the work of Albert Camus this paper offers a critique of certain discourses around ‘novel ecosystems’. These new species ‘assemblages’ are frequently defended, or even celebrated, as exemplifying resilience and adaptability to the environmental repercussions of a global situation inaccurately glossed as ‘The Anthropocene’. Here the increasing prevalence of economically generated changes, including the accelerating translocations of species, are set against earlier conservation values emphasizing protection of ‘natural’ and ‘native’ ecologies. The proliferation of novel ecosystems, together with an instrumental emphasis on their functional, ‘pragmatic’, and economic benefits, appears to make environmentalists’ ethical concerns about the loss of endangered others seem ‘absurd’ and frames conservation as a Sisyphean task. Yet Camus early work provides arguments for ethical / political resistance in just such absurd and extreme circumstances.
The curious case of the Milankovitch calendar
Authors: Gajic Nenad
Published: September 2019

Abstract. The Gregorian calendar, despite being more precise than
the Julian (which now lags 13 d behind Earth), will also lag a day behind
nature in this millennium. In 1923, Milutin Milankovitch presented a
calendar of outstanding scientific importance and unprecedented astronomical
accuracy, which was accepted at the Ecumenical Congress of Eastern Orthodox
churches. However, its adoption is still partial in churches and nonexistent
in civil states, despite nearly a century without a better proposition of
calendar reform in terms of both precision and ease of transition, which are
important for acceptance. This article reviews the development of calendars
throughout history and presents the case of Milankovitch's, explaining its
aims and methodology and why it is sometimes mistakenly identified with the
Gregorian because of their long consonance. Religious aspects are briefly
covered, explaining the potential of this calendar to unite secular and
religious purposes through improving accuracy in both contexts.
Development of a Value-based Algorithm for Inpatient Triage of Elderly Hip Fracture Patients
Authors: Konda Sanjit R. , Lott Ariana , Egol Kenneth A.
Published: September 2019

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to combine a validated middle-age and geriatric trauma risk assessment tool (STTGMA) with a novel cost-prediction tool to create an objective triage tool for elderly hip fractures that would guide value-based care initiatives.

Methods:

From October 2014 to January 2018, all patients aged ≥55 years who were admitted with a primary diagnosis of hip fracture to a single level 1 trauma center were enrolled. Upon evaluation in the emergency department, demographics, injury severity, and functional status were recorded to calculate the trauma triage score (STTGMARisk). A model to predict high-cost hip fracture patients was created using similar variables (STTGMACost).

Results:

Three hundred sixty-one consecutive operative hip fracture patients were enrolled. Inpatient mortalities were skewed toward STTGMARisk3 with 21.4% of patients in this high-risk group ultimately expiring during their hospitalization. High-cost patients were correctly skewed to the STTGMACost2 and STTGMACost3 groups with 88.9% of all high-cost operatively treated hip fracture correctly triaged to these cohorts. Statistically significant variations were found in cost within each STTGMARisk group.

Conclusions:

A simple risk score calculated upon admission (STTGMARisk and STTGMACost) was able to be used as a triage tool not only to differentiate increased mortality risk but also to predict high-cost patients based on resource utilization in hip fracture patients.

External Orthopaedic Implants in the Magnetic Resonance Environment: Current Concepts and Controversies
Authors: Milby Joshua N. , Bible Jesse E. , Mosher Timothy J. , Garner Matthew R.
Published: September 2019

MRI provides diagnostic three-dimensional imaging and remains extremely important in the diagnosis and management of spinal trauma as well as other acute traumatic injuries, including those of the extremities. The American Society for Testing and Materials has created standards against which all implantable medical devices are tested to ensure safety in an MR environment. Most implantable passive orthopaedic devices can undergo MRI without consequence to the patient. However, the American Society for Testing and Materials has recently updated its terminology resulting in confusion among providers and institutions. Primary safety concerns are radiofrequency-induced heating and magnetically induced torque or displacement. These safety concerns have emerged as a recent source of debate, particularly regarding the imaging of patients with external fixation and cervical immobilization devices in place. Surveys have shown a lack of consensus among radiologists regarding this issue. Having an institutional protocol in place for the imaging of these patients streamlines the diagnosis and early stabilization of certain polytraumatized patients. The purpose of this review is to summarize the pertinent literature as well as the current industry recommendations regarding the safety of commonly used external fixation, cervical immobilization, and traction devices in the MR environment.
Contemporary challanges of social work in Ohio, USA
Authors: Romaniuk Jaroslaw R. , Farkas Kathleen J.
Published: September 2019

Social work deals with problems of individuals, families, organizations and communities. However, an evolving set of challenges continues to shape the future of social work theory, research and interventions. Social work is a profession with its own code and follows a set of standards and ethics rules at the federal level, but the licensing processes are controlled at the state level and the professional policies are set at the national and local level. Social workers, therefore, are trained to think in a systemic way and to work with a person-in-environment perspective at the individual and the community level. This text shows how the challenges of the twenty-first century impact the education of social workers as well as social work practice. The economy and globalization present a number of challenges – all of which contribute to creation of new social problems and need for social innovation. New technologies have opened the door for educational and clinical opportunities to connect and engage people in need, however, the digitalization excluded a group of people with a low income. Social work education must keep up with the pressures of the economic aspects influencing the education market and the growing evidence base to support trauma-informed care, the use of psychiatric rehabilitation, prevent bullying at schools and cyberspace, care for elderly and the constant changes ushered in by modernization and globalization. The implications of these challenges are reviewed and provide guidance for social work educators, social work students and social work practitioners.
On the Impact of Bad Smell Agglomerations on Software Quality
Authors: Damasceno Santana Amanda , Figueiredo Eduardo
Published: September 2019

When a system evolution is not planned, developers can take decisions that degrade the system quality. To cope with this problem, refactoring can be applied to the source code aiming to increase code quality without modifying the software external behavior. To know when to refactor, the concept of bad smells can be used. Bad smells are snippets of source code that suggest the need of refactoring. However, bad smells does not always appear isolated. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of bad smell agglomerations on the software quality by evaluating a large dataset of open source systems. To achieve our goal, we plan to use data mining techniques complemented with correlation analysis of the dataset.

Convalida: a Code Generation-based FieldValidation Library for Android Applications
Authors: Pereira Wellington , Maia Paulo
Published: September 2019

A common, repetitive, and time-consuming task in the construction of Android applications is creating interface field validation. Although there are some tools that address that issue, they are not intuitive and require effort for configuration, which may hinder their use. This paper introduces Convalida, an annotation-based library that generates code automatically at compile time for field validation of Android applications, thus allowing the developer to focus on the implementation of business rules. A comparative study considering other field validation tool and a manual approach is also provided and shows that our library has improved the final code.
Optimum Control Parameters During Machining of LM13 Aluminum Alloy Under Dry Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) With A Modified Tool Design
Authors: NAGARAJAN Pragadish , MURUGESAN Pradeep Kumar , NATARAJAN Elango
Published: September 2019

Dry Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is considered as a green manufacturing process in which the liquid dielectric medium is replaced by a high velocity gas, which results improved process stability. A special tool design is adopted to find the optimum control parameters during machining of LM13 Aluminum alloy under dry EDM mode. The drilled and slotted cylindrical copper rod is used as a tool. Discharge current (I), voltage (V), pressure (P) and pulse on time (TON) are considered as varying input process parameters and duty factor and tool rotational speed are chosen at the fixed level. Taguchi L27 orthogonal array is used to design the experiment and the experiments are conducted accordingly. The experimental results are analyzed using Grey Relational Analysis to find the optimal combination of the process parameters. Also, ANOVA test is conducted to ensure the conformity of the simulation results. Pulse on time is found as the most significant parameter which is followed by voltage. Furthermore, the parameters with the highest relational grade (4 A, 200 μs, 60 V and 1.5 kPa) are used in experiment to validate the simulation results. The simulation and experimental results have a good agreement with less than 0.5 % error.

Dies ist eines der Merkmale der derzeitigen Demokratiekrise.
Erfüllter Vertrag auf Gegenseitigkeit?
Authors: Holtmann Everhard
Published: September 2019

Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt ist ein zugleich gefühliger und sozialmoralisch aufgeladener Begriff. Er hat Verpflichtungscharakter, den die meisten Menschen bereitwillig anerkennen. Dabei befolgen sie instinktiv oder bewusst eine als natürlich angesehene Lebensregel, dass der Mensch ein soziales Wesen ist und nur als Mitglied einer solidarischen Gemeinschaft jene Geborgenheit und Sicherheit erfährt, die ihm ein menschenwürdiges Dasein ohne Gefahr für Leib und Leben ermöglicht. Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt beruht folglich auf einem - ursprünglich ungeschriebenen, heute vielfach in rechtliche Form gefassten - Grundsatz der Gegenseitigkeit.
Fragile Stabilität
Authors: Backhaus-Maul Holger
Published: September 2019

Der gesellschaftliche Zusammenhalt gilt als fragil. Engagement wird die Fähigkeit zugeschrieben, in Interaktionen und im Erfahrungsaustausch den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt in modernen Gesellschaften zu begünstigen. Doch Begriffe wie Engagement und gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt sind in ihrer Verwendung vieldeutig, schillernd und oftmals normativ überladen. Umso wichtiger ist ein sachlich-analytischer Zugang zum Thema.
Der Burkini und die Frage des Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalts
Authors: Ezli Özkan
Published: September 2019

Für den bekannten amerikanischen Soziologen Talcott Parsons war in den 1960er Jahren die Zunahme ähnlicher Handlungsmuster von Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Herkünften im öffentlichen Raum eine zentrale Entwicklung für einen allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Integrationsprozess der Zivilgesellschaft, schließlich für den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt. Diesen Prozess bezeichnete er als den der Inklusion, die die Beteiligung und Berücksichtigung von Personen oder Gruppen in sozialen Strukturen und Systemen gewährleistet. Zwar werden durch diesen Prozess soziale Ungleichheiten nicht aufgehoben, jedoch ermöglicht er multiple Zugehörigkeiten nach Klassen, Ethnien und Religionsgemeinschaften in einem gemeinsamen Referenzrahmen.

Kliniken in Deutschland sind bis heute noch nicht auf die Versorgung von Menschen mit Komplexer Behinderung im Krankenhaus eingestellt. In einem dreijährigen Forschungsprojekt - gefördert von der Stiftung Wohlfahrtspflege NRW - konnte gezeigt werden, dass durch den Einsatz Klinischer Pflegeexpertinnen die Situation von Menschen mit Behinderungen in den Kliniken verbessert werden konnte. Basierend auf Informationen bei aufsuchenden Besuchen im Zuhause zukünftiger Patienten wurden Behandlung und Versorgung in den Kliniken geplant. Die Expertinnen übernahmen die Begleitung der Patienten und überwachten die Prozesse. Sich sicher fühlen und Vertrauen sind Schlüsselkonzepte, damit eine patientenorientierte Behandlung von Menschen mit Komplexer Behinderung im Krankenhaus gelingen kann.
Innerbetriebliche Netzwerke für ein return to work. Die Zusammenarbeit der Personalvermittlung im internen Arbeitsmarkt mit dem Betrieblichen Eingliederungsmanagement
Authors: Filipiak Kathrin , Mühge Gernot
Published: September 2019

In Unternehmen, die über eine eigene Abteilung zur Personalvermittlung im internen Arbeitsmarkt verfügen, kommt es oftmals zu einer engen Kooperation mit dem Betrieblichen Eingliederungsmanagement (BEM). Ziel der Kooperation ist es, gesundheitlich beeinträchtigte Beschäftigte, die am alten Arbeitsplatz oder im alten Arbeitsbereich nicht weiter beschäftigt werden können, auf neuen Stellen im Unternehmen wertschöpfend und leidensgerecht einzusetzen. Die effektive unternehmensweite Vermittlung stellt die Akteure vor eine anspruchsvolle Gestaltungsaufgabe, und sie ist auf verschiedene netzwerkförmige Kooperationen zwischen unternehmensinternen und -externen Akteuren angewiesen. Auf Basis qualitativer Forschungsarbeiten untersucht der Beitrag zum einen die Koordinationsformen zwischen BEM und Abteilungen zur internen Personalvermittlung, zum anderen die netzwerkförmige Zusammenarbeit des erweiterten Kreises der am BEM-Verfahren beteiligten Akteure hinsichtlich der unternehmensweiten Vermittlung von Beschäftigten, die ein BEM Verfahren durchlaufen haben.
Die Medienpräsenz politischer Akteure in Deutschland und der Schweiz
Authors: Jandura Olaf , Udris Linards , Eisenegger Mark
Published: September 2019

Besonders im Kontext von Wahlen oder Abstimmungen wird - meist von der unterlegenen Seite ausgesprochen - der Vorwurf an die Medienberichterstattung laut, implizit oder explizit Partei zu ergreifen, einseitig zugunsten eines politischen Lagers oder einer Partei zu berichten oder auf die medialen Inszenierungsstrategien gerade rechtspopulistischer Parteien hereinzufallen und diesen so ein zu großes mediales Echo zukommen zu lassen. Befreit man diese Aussagen vom Wahlkampf und Nachwahlkampfgetöse, bleibt die Frage im Raum, wann man von einer angemessenen Sichtbarkeit politischer Akteure und derer Positionen oder politischer Themen in der Medienberichterstattung sprechen kann. Aus verschiedenen öffentlichkeitstheoretischen Ansätzen (z.B. partizipatorischen, liberalen und diskursiven) lässt sich übereinstimmend als ein Qualitätsindikator für die öffentliche Kommunikation ableiten, dass die Vielfalt der im Diskurs vertretenen Akteure und Positionen erkennbar sein muss. Doch anhand welchen Maßstabes kann die Vielfalt in der Medienberichterstattung bewertet werden? Wie lässt sich die Erfüllung dieser auch medienrechtlich relevanten Norm (Lobigs und Neuberger, 2018, S. 28) überprüfen? Dieser Beitrag schlägt verschiedene, aus normativen Überlegungen abgeleitete und auf extramedialen Maßstäben beruhende Vergleichsmaßstäbe zur Bemessung der Sichtbarkeit politischer Akteure vor, die vergleichend auf die Berichterstattung vor den letzten Wahlen in Deutschland und der Schweiz angewandt werden. Beide Länder sind den demokratisch-korporatistischen Systemen mit einem gemäßigt polarisierten pluralistischen Parteiensystem zuzuordnen, sie sind beide föderalistisch aufgebaut und verfügen über ähnliche Mediensysteme mit (noch) starken Zeitungsmarken und einem reichweitenstarken öffentlichen Rundfunk (Hallin und Mancini, 2004).
Medialisierung und Mediatisierung
Authors: Birkner Thomas
Published: September 2019

Mediatization is of the most successful yet most often discussed approaches used in media and communication studies. The issues of media change and societal change are central in this respect, with two traditions having developed, which examine the role of the media in our modern society in different ways (qualitative v quantitative methods). The research focus could be divided between a) changes to communication in humans’ daily lives, for example through smartphones, and b) influences of the mass media in different areas of society such as politics, the economy and sport. The second edition of this book, which has been revised and updated, explains the origins of these approaches, presents key studies and findings on them and discusses their similarities and differences.
Die historische Entwicklung des Vergabeverfahrens in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz
Authors: Schoenmaker Simon
Published: September 2019

Today, public procurement is a well-known instrument of action and control used by the state and a part of public commercial law that is well developed in theoretical terms. The historical genesis of the award procedure has so far been insufficiently dealt with, with above all the transnational genesis of the procedure not yet having been researched. It can be assumed that the regulatory problem of public procurement, that is, the procurement of goods for self-sufficiency and the fulfilment of public tasks, arose for rulers and sovereigns in every historical epoch.
Simon Schoenmaker addresses the aforementioned gap in research and chooses a comparative legal approach in the German-speaking world for his historical analysis. Due to their territorial and economic links to Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the author also includes the developments in France and the Netherlands in this regard. He examines the regulations in the respective epochs in detail and identifies overarching links between them and the countries in question.
Uses and Gratifications
Authors: Sommer Denise
Published: September 2019

The ‘uses and gratifications’ approach is quintessential in media research and, at the same time, highly topical. Our need for communication is universal and unique, but expectations of what the media offers change as the media itself changes. If one wants to understand this more precisely, one cannot avoid the uses and gratifications approach. This book provides a well-founded overview of this quintessential theory of media use, explain-ing it using examples and empirical findings, and showing how topical it is in the digital age. It pays particular attention to the many important contributions of German-language research to the approach. As an introduction to theory, it is aimed at students and, at the same time, serves as a reference book for anyone who wants to understand media use according to needs more precisely. Its author has been researching and teaching the subjective significance of the media in everyday life and its effects at various universities for many years.
Bildungssoziologie
Authors: Teltemann Janna
Published: September 2019

This textbook provides an introduction to the sociology of education and is aimed at undergraduate students who do not major in sociology. The sociology of education provides important fundamental knowledge, in particular for future teachers and students of education. There is a rising demand for reflexive professional knowledge among teachers and educationalists. The sociology of education contributes in this regard by analysing the conditions that underlie educational processes and pedagogical courses of action. This textbook presents the basic questions and concepts at the heart of the sociology of education, while also providing an overview of the study of education systems and schools as organisations. Furthermore, it illustrates the degree and causes of social, ethnic and gender-related inequalities in education. Janna Teltemann is a professor of educational sociology at the University of Hildesheim.
Transnationalismus
Authors: Nowicka Magdalena
Published: September 2019

Cross-border practices and structures are common and well described in research literature. However, there is no theory on transnationalism. This book proposes that transnationalism should be seen as an outcome of cross-border processes. Transnationalism is not congruent with structures, but focuses on what happens within those structures. This book argues that it is inadequate to project nation state concepts onto another territorial scale, as research into forms of cross-border connectivity commonly does. Instead, the transnational paradigm focuses on reconfigurations of power and rearrangements of local cultures that produce new meanings due to the porosity of nation states and global interconnectedness. Moreover, that paradigm helps us to understand the coming together of multiple affiliations, practices and dispositions.
Le mouton, la vache et le loup. Coexistence de différentes moralités autour de la mise à mort d’animaux en Mongolie
Authors: Charlier Bernard
Published: September 2019

Cet article propose d’analyser différentes attitudes et discours moraux, à priori contradictoires, actualisés autour de la mise à mort d’un mouton, d’une vache et d’un loup parmi des éleveurs nomades de Mongolie. La mise à mort d’un animal domestique, contrairement à celle d’un animal sauvage, est toujours empreinte de sobriété. Pour les éleveurs, selon les fragments de l’idéologie bouddhiste en vigueur, la mise à mort d’un animal domestique est associée aux idées de pollution (buzar) et de péché (nügel). De manière contrastée, la mise à mort d’un animal sauvage, et plus particulièrement d’un loup, fait l’objet d’une grande joie. Un éleveur chanceux à la chasse est dit « vertueux », « méritant » (buyantaj) et doté d’un haut potentiel vital (hijmor’). En mobilisant la notion mongole de fortune (hišig), j’analyse la coexistence de différents types de moralité liés à la mise à mort d’un mouton, d’une vache et d’un loup.
Arthur Schlesinger et le mouvement des Droits civiques, 1945-1970 : d’une pensée politique libérale anticommuniste à un engagement social*
Authors: Robinson Greg
Published: September 2019

L’historien et théoricien politique Arthur Schlesinger Jr. fut le porte-parole le plus éminent des intellectuels libéraux à l’époque de la Guerre froide. L’évolution de sa position sur les droits civiques des Noirs et l’égalité raciale pendant les 25 années qui suivirent la Seconde Guerre mondiale eut des répercussions sur sa vision des réformes sociales. Selon lui, l’accès à l’égalité des chances reposait essentiellement sur le gouvernement plutôt que sur l’activisme populaire. S’il appuya le Mouvement afro-américain des Droits civiques des années 1960 avec enthousiasme, l’opposition au Mouvement amena Schlesinger à reconsidérer sa foi dans l’action gouvernementale.
Sociologie d’une forte proximité subjective au chat, au chien
Authors: Morand Emilie , de Singly François
Published: September 2019

Cadre de la recherche : Il existe très peu de travaux en France sur les relations que les adultes entretiennent avec leur animal de compagnie, bien que l’on constate leur importance grandissante.

Objectifs : Partant du constat que les personnes adultes qui ont un animal de compagnie à leur domicile s’en déclarent proches, nous cherchons d’une part à approcher les conditions sociales qui font varier ce sentiment de proximité subjective, et d’autre part à décrire certaines des composantes de ce lien de proximité : la proximité tactile et la proximité conversationnelle.

Méthodologie : Cet article s’appuie sur les résultats d’une enquête par questionnaire qui s’est déroulée entre 2016 et 2017 auprès de 2977 propriétaires de chiens et de chats se déclarant proches de leur animal.

Résultats : Nous observons que (a) la proximité conversationnelle contribue plus que la proximité tactile à la production du sentiment de proximité subjective ; (b) les femmes de milieux populaires sont celles qui se sentent le plus proche de leur animal familier ; (c) les personnes qui se sentent les plus proches sont celles qui déclarent leur chien ou leur chat « membre de la famille à part entière », soulignant ainsi la force de leur lien sans nécessairement nier pour autant l’identité animale.

Conclusions : Cet article expose le contenu d’une relation proche entre un adulte et son animal, les déterminants qui expliquent la variation de l’intensité de cette relation humain-animal et les pratiques liées.

Contribution : D’une part, le travail présenté est une contribution à la sociologie des relations humain-non humain car il permet une objectivation de la relation entre l’humain et son animal. D’autre part, il contribue à élargir la sociologie de la famille en y intégrant l’animal comme membre de la famille.

Many roads with asphalt pavement are being reconstructed every year, as their quality becomes insufficient by the requirements. As it is well- known, old roads were built not in the very best quality, so doing reconstruction projects in the most cases there were required to deal with soft soils that are under the existing road structure. Geogrid reinforcement was widely used to solve issues of soft soil in Lithuania. There are projects where geogrid reinforcement is used to control road pavement roughness when there are layers of peat or silt under road structure instead of using concrete piles or geosynthetic-encased soil columns. This type of geogrid reinforcement application is unexplained in any normative-technical document but widely used in Lithuania. This application was usually made constructively without any calculations, choosing the reinforced solution by reducing the geogrid tensile strength or layer quantity compared to reinforced load transfer platform over piles. This paper evaluates the long-term influence of geogrid- reinforced subgrade on the roughness of asphalt surfacing and bearing capacity of the road structure when the soft peaty soils stratify in the deeper layers of the subgrade. There were compared the reinforced sections to adjacent sections to see the effect and fortunately a large number of adjacent sections were also strengthened, mostly by lime stabilisation. Therefore, this comparison allows making more insights on the long-term performance of the strengthened subgrade and influence on the road quality. This research gives recommendations on how the geogrids has to be selected to be used in this kind of application.
The Process of Setting the Parameters for Ensuring Passage of Oversized Cargos
Authors: Petru Jan , Krivda Vladislav
Published: September 2019

Engineering and the industry very often produce above-standard products concerning their dimensions and weights. There is often a problem with the transport of these products both within Europe and in subsequent transport all around the world. Because of these reasons, several projects to remedy the situation were implemented in the Czech Republic. The article describes the results of many years of research, which observed ensuring the passage of oversized cargos on roads. Further, the measurements, which were carried out, are presented in this paper − the measurement of an oversized vehicle using Global Positioning System devices, creation and modelling of missing cars in programs to verify the swept path, comparison of created models with the measurement using Global Positioning System devices.  Then the results of the implemented researches, the suggested parameters, and modelled cars are used for the suggestion of technical parameters of backbone network of roads. On these roads, the loads are transported. The results are also used for verification of critical points of the route, e.g. problematic places and intersections.
Mixture Strength Class and Slab Dimensions’ Effect on The Precast Concrete Pavement Structural Performance
Authors: Vaitkus Audrius , Kleizienė Rita , Vorobjovas Viktoras , Čygas Donatas
Published: September 2019

Mechanical properties and slab dimensions of concrete are the major parameters based on which the performance of concrete pavement structures is predicted. Precast concrete pavement, as one of the most common modular pavement type, is the advanced next-generation technology characterised as high quality, durable, quickly built and easily maintained. The service conditions of precast concrete pavement (traffic loading and environmental effects) are similar to the conventional cast-in-place jointed plain concrete pavement. Thus, the precast concrete pavement structural design is similar to that of jointed plain concrete pavement. There are several concepts for the design of concrete pavement structure. However, they are based on different distress evaluation and critical stresses estimation methods assuming the slab dimensions that for jointed plain concrete pavement are within the wide joint spacing range from 3.5−6.0 m. The objective of this paper is to analytically evaluate the effect of concrete mixture mechanical properties on the thickness and dimensions of precast concrete pavement slab. Also, define the minimal thickness of precast concrete slab dependent on slab dimensions and concrete mixture mechanical properties elastic modulus and tensile splitting strength. The analysis is based on bearing capacity, performance and fatigue boundary conditions as reported by semi-probabilistic pavement design method Richtlinien für die rechnerische Dimensionierung von Betondecken im Oberbau von Verkehrsflächen RDO Beton 09. Considering that, concrete mixture has significant effects on pavement performance; the composition of concrete was also discussed in this paper.  The optimal slab dimensions, concrete layer thickness, and base layer type is suggested in this paper. The outcomes of this analysis apply to the production of precast concrete pavement slabs.
Comparative studies of Echinometra mathaei species complex (Echinoidea: Camarodonta: Echinometridae) from two sites in Western Visayas, Philippines (Taklong Island, Guimaras and Nabas, Aklan)

Echinometra mathaei is a species complex with its constituent reproductively-isolated species informally called A, B, C and D based on studies done in Okinawa and the Red Sea. Little research has been done on this genus, and to our knowledge no studies have been done on the E. mathaei complex in the Philippines. To help clarify species delineations in the E. mathaei complex, a comparative study was done between two localities in Western Visayas, Philippines: the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve, in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras and Barangay Unidos in Nabas, Aklan. Morphological characteristics (spine color, milled rings, and skin around the peristome) and tubefeet and gonad spicules were observed. Two or possibly three species of Echinometra were found in the two sites based on their morphology and spicules, namely: Echinometra sp. A, Echinometra sp. C, and Echinometra affinity C, which resembles sp. C but differs in the milled rings and gonad spicules. Echinometra sp. C and E. affinity C cannot be distinguished on the basis of field-visible characters, thus the two morphs are referred to as Echinometra VC for the purpose of field surveys. Echinometra VC and Echinometra sp. A exhibited differences in abundance (VC was much more common) and microhabitat (VC was restricted to rocky shores and never observed in coral communities). To study the abundance and distribution of Echinometra VC, 50 m by 2 m belt transects were surveyed along the rocky shores of both sites: two parallel transects (at 0 m and at 0.9 m) and a perpendicular transect (only in Nabas), each with three replicates. The transect data showed that the mean densities for 0 m and 0.9 m in Nabas are significantly higher in Taklong yielding p-values of 0.001 and 0.002, respectively, when analyzed using t-test.Of the two sites, only Nabas showed a significant difference between the mean densities at 0 m and 0.9 m, with the mean density at 0.9 m significantly higher than that of 0 m yielding a p-value of 0.02 when analyzed using two-sample t-test. A Poisson regression on the perpendicular transect data from Nabas showed a trend of increasing Echinometra density with increasing distance from the shore. In the future, DNA barcoding and cross-fertilization studies should be performed in order to confirm the species of Echinometra observed. Many factors can affect the density and distribution of Echinometra, so further studies must be conducted to explain observed differences in their distribution and abundance.
