Sujets d’Histoire : les renaissances de L’Éducation sentimentale
Authors: Frömmer Judith
Published: June 2023

L’objet de cet article est la Renaissance comme principe et structure de la narration de l’Histoire d’un jeune homme qu’entend raconter L’Éducation sentimentale. Inventée comme époque par les historiens du XIXe siècle, la Renaissance joue dans le roman de Flaubert un rôle capital qui n’est limité ni à la mise en scène ironique d’une mode, ni à un espace d’évasion, ni à une simple critique des arts visuels et plastiques à « l’époque de la reproductibilité technique ». La notion de renaissance non-théologique, comprise dans ses dimensions radicales et renégociée par le roman de Flaubert, va au-delà des époques et des styles désignés par ce terme et offre une vision de l’Histoire et de l’historicité qui, du fait même de la matérialité de l’art, remet en cause tous les moyens de la reproduction humaine, en remplaçant notamment le regard perspectif et les notions de subjectivité corrélatives par une « manière absolue de voir les choses ».
La Légende saint Julien l’Hospitalier. La chasse au cerf, de l’image au texte
Authors: Giraud Sylvie
Published: June 2023

Étudier l’interaction qu’il peut y avoir chez Flaubert entre le mot, l’image et le rêve représente un vaste champ d’investigation à facettes multiples, dont celle du processus de création n’est pas des moindres. Plus précisément encore, il s’agit ici de considérer l’iconographie dans la matérialité d’une source d’information, pour en déterminer le rôle exact au sein de la genèse d’un paragraphe de La Légende saint Julien l’Hospitalier ; une genèse entendue dans le sens très large des premières approches du sujet jusqu’aux phases terminales de textualisation. La confrontation entre la documentation illustrée et l’avant-texte du conte autorise quelques hypothèses quant au degré d’influence de l’image sur le mot, un pouvoir variable entre concordance, altération et affranchissement.
Jean-Baptiste, « une voix lointaine »
Authors: Giraud Sylvie
Published: June 2023

Dans Hérodias de Gustave Flaubert, Jean-Baptiste intègre la trame du conte bien avant son incursion tonitruante dans le chapitre II, puisque dès le début de l’histoire il est amené à jouer un rôle déterminant, même s’il demeure invisible et anonyme. C’est cette première intervention du prêcheur qui fait l’objet d’une analyse génétique. La recherche menée au sein de l’avant-texte restitue dans son intégralité la chronologie rédactionnelle de l’épisode, depuis le plan jusqu’au manuscrit final, révélant ainsi l’ensemble de la construction dans ses détails de conception, de structuration et d’organisation.
Du R. P. Cruchard. Et, accessoirement, des femmes folles à la messe
Authors: Murphy Steve
Published: June 2023

Dans Vie et travaux du R. P. Cruchard Flaubert fait, par le truchement du R. P. Cerpet, une entrée splendide dans le monde de l’hagiographie parodique. Il y est question d’un homme moins célèbre que saint Antoine mais qui vit lui aussi dans un monde rempli de tentations. À condition d’avoir l’esprit suffisamment mal tourné, on peut tenter d’exhumer le soubassement érotique de la jubilation perpétuelle du héros.
Image à suivre
Authors: Dufour Philippe
Published: June 2023

Flaubert appartient à la génération des images perdues : plus de comparaisons romantiques tissant des correspondances et disant l’harmonie de la Création. En deuil du sublime, Flaubert multiplie dans Madame Bovary des comparaisons d’un grotesque triste. En s’inspirant de Manfred Hardt, on suit ici une série d’images scandant le destin d’Emma, autour du motif de l’oiseau, sans ses prestiges romantiques : il ne chante pas et a du mal à voler.
« Il n’y a que vous ! » Lecture(s) d’une phrase singulière
Authors: Ebguy Jacques-David
Published: June 2023

Ce texte s’arrête sur la singulière déclaration (et ses effets) de Mme Arnoux à Frédéric Moreau dans l’avant-dernier chapitre de L’Éducation sentimentale : « Il n’y a que vous ! ». Doit-elle être lue comme la construction « féminine » et sublime d’un lien électif ? Dit-elle plutôt le triomphe de l’imaginaire ? L’impossibilité réelle de tout rapport entre les deux sexes ? Tout cela à la fois peut-être, grâce au jeu qui s’instaure entre le tout et le rien, et l’exploration ambiguë de l’« entre » que propose le roman : il n’y a que des lectures.
Point de mire ou rythme du pire, la semaine comme temporalité paradoxale chez Flaubert
Authors: Charlier Marie-Astrid
Published: June 2023

Dans ses romans de mœurs contemporaines, Flaubert développe une poétique du temps moderne au sein de laquelle le rythme hebdomadaire cristallise des expériences temporelles a priori contradictoires. Entre rite et durée, le motif de la semaine se présente tantôt comme un support de représentation de la mécanique – temporelle, intellectuelle et morale – bourgeoise, tantôt comme une ligne de fuite, à la lettre, vers le romanesque et l’aventure. Grâce à la microanalyse de quelques-unes des semaines flaubertiennes, nous nous attacherons à montrer que, dans Madame Bovary et L’Éducation sentimentale, elles arriment des épaisseurs de temps et synthétisent la complexité du temps vécu, fait de superpositions, de rémanences, de projections, d’effacement. La semaine flaubertienne problématise ainsi les liens entre temps historique, social et intime.
Et hic est finis : Bibliomanie, ou le livre-arbitre
Authors: Soulatges Magali
Published: June 2023

Appropriation romanesque des minutes d’un procès ? Variation sur le Bibliomane de Nodier ? Conte hoffmannien à héros dantesque ? Physiologie du bibliophile ? Étude clinique du bibliomane ? Bibliomanie, écrit par Flaubert à 15 ans, constitue une curiosité littéraire, à l’identité générique indécise. Or la question du statut esthétique de ce récit de jeunesse (que l’on enferme peut-être hâtivement dans la seule catégorie du conte fantastique) semble se cristalliser dans une image naïve inlassablement contemplée par le héros du conte : celle formant, autour du mot « Finis », le colophon d’un manuscrit ancien. Sur le fondement de l’adoration sans bornes vouée par Giacomo le bibliomane à cette image, et compte tenu de la double lecture possible du mot « Finis », dans les registres bibliologique et philosophique, ne pourrait-on reconnaître dans Bibliomanie la forme d’une Vanité ?
Présence de Bouvard et Pécuchet chez Roland Barthes
Authors: Herschberg Pierrot Anne
Published: June 2023

L’article souligne la présence continue de Bouvard et Pécuchet chez Roland Barthes. Il suit son devenir et sa place grandissante dans les écrits et propos de Barthes. Emblème de la modernité en littérature, le roman de Flaubert apparaît en même temps comme une encyclopédie critique des langages et un modèle expérimental d’écriture, qui constitue une pièce majeure pour Barthes dans sa réflexion sur sa propre écriture et sur la bêtise.
« L’œil du hibou ». Le Flaubert au pluriel de Calvino
Authors: Pietri Susi
Published: June 2023

Flaubert représente pour Italo Calvino un absolu de l’invention formelle qu’il interroge (bien souvent par la médiation d’autres écrivains) selon trois constellations de lecture – l’invisible, l’inconnaissable, l’innommable. Des « Flaubert au pluriel » s’inscrivent ainsi au cours du temps dans l’ensemble des textes théoriques calviniens : le Flaubert nihiliste ; le modèle suprême du travail de la forme ; le maître du doute et du scepticisme ; le critique de la culture et de la pluralité des langages ; le précurseur des avant-gardes ; le paradigme de la visibilité narrative ; le « Dieu » invisible de l’infinitude au cœur de l’infime ; le témoin exemplaire de la dissolution des savoirs ; l’exécuteur testamentaire du romanesque de convention ; l’ancêtre littéraire de la « connaissance-en-tant-que-multiplicité » ; le chercheur d’absolu par la rencontre avec l’altérité.
La diffusion de Flaubert en Allemagne, traductions contemporaines (2006-2018)
Authors: Barjonet Aurélie
Published: June 2023

Après avoir travaillé sur la manière dont les écrivains et les critiques germanophones ont reçu Flaubert en son temps, puis au XXe siècle, Aurélie Barjonet enquête sur la réception de l’écrivain, cette fois-ci uniquement sur le plan des traductions parues entre 2006 et 2018. C’est l’occasion de faire un état des lieux des grandes éditions allemandes de Flaubert, de distinguer entre nouvelles et anciennes traductions, et de se pencher sur ses « nouveaux traducteurs ».
Le Flaubert de Charles Du Bos
Authors: Neefs Jacques
Published: June 2023

Charles Du Bos a porté une attention constante à l’œuvre de Flaubert (à l’exclusion de Bouvard et Pécuchet qui semble ne pas exister pour lui), à Madame Bovary et à L’Éducation sentimentale en particulier. La mise en relation de son étude : « Sur le milieu intérieur chez Flaubert », écrite en 1921, avec des textes du Journal de 1923 et de 1937, les rapprochements avec Gogol, Thomas Hardy, Tolstoï, Baudelaire, Henry James qui traversent les écrits de Du Bos, permettent de suivre ce que celui-ci décrit comme « l’expérience spirituelle » d’une matérialité comprise dans la conquête de la triple exigence du Beau, du Vivant et du Vrai. Du Bos décèle la force de l’œuvre de Flaubert dans la « disproportion » du style, et dans la puissance d’absorption qui fait la densité de cette prose, et qui désigne un extraordinaire travail de conversion. L’obscure expérience spirituelle ainsi poursuivie est celle d’un absolu de l’art, expérience paradoxale d’un « mystique qui ne croit à rien » (comme se désignait Flaubert lui-même), que le critique lie à une interrogation sur sa propre conversion.
Lire : écrire
Authors: Dufour Philippe
Published: June 2023

Qu’est-ce que lire de la littérature pour un écrivain ? Un travail essentiel, répond Flaubert dans sa Correspondance, une évaluation de différentes écritures qui permet de se forger une poétique, de ne surtout pas se laisser influencer par les rhétoriques du présent : Flaubert lit les classiques à la recherche d’une écriture moderne.
Flaubert lecteur de Montaigne
Authors: Jousset Philippe
Published: June 2023

Flaubert a fréquenté assidûment Montaigne, qui a contribué puissamment à sa formation. Les parallèles ne manquent pas entre les deux écrivains, mais, plus qu'un réservoir d'idées, l'aîné représente une sorte de gisement que le cadet exploite dans le sens de ses obsessions, usage qui ne garantit ni des méprises, ni des « projections » (ainsi Montaigne sert-il à reconstituer le mythe d'une certaine naïveté). En outre, Montaigne se révèle un idéal de prose, particulièrement dans le style plus libre de la Correspondance.
Bouvard et Pécuchet et le désir amoureux
Authors: Herschberg Pierrot Anne
Published: June 2023

L’article propose une étude de genèse du chapitre 7 de Bouvard et Pécuchet, consacré à l’amour, qui forme une étape encyclopédique a priori un peu surprenante. Flaubert s’amuse à écrire ces aventures de Bouvard et Pécuchet, dans un pays qui n’est pas si tendre. L’étude de genèse porte sur le travail de l’écriture de plusieurs temps forts du chapitre (dans l’incipit, et les scènes de duos, notamment la scène entre Mme Castillon et Gorgu). Elle permet de montrer l’effacement de détails érotiques, mais aussi du politique et de l’histoire, qui se trouvent condensés dans le texte final. Elle révèle aussi le rôle concerté de ce chapitre dans la construction du roman et l’itinéraire des personnages. Anodin en apparence, ce chapitre est emblématique d’une poétique fondée sur l’ellipse, et qui mêle le jeu et le sérieux.
Les feuilletons télévisés égyptiens et le nouvel élan de l’adaptation : l’exemple du feuilleton Bint ismahā Ḏāt
Authors: Ayari-Cherif Ramla
Published: June 2023

S’interrogeant sur la question de l’adaptation, l’article revient sur l’histoire de ce processus artistique et créatif dans un des pays pionniers de la culture dans le monde arabe : l’Égypte. D’abord très présente dans la littérature égyptienne dès la fin du xixe siècle, l’adaptation s’impose au cinéma puis, dès le début des années 1960, à la télévision en Égypte. Fruit d’une interaction entre les cultures mais également entre les arts, le processus puisant dans un texte-source pour créer ensuite une œuvre nouvelle, écrite ou filmée, est plus que jamais vivant à la télévision égyptienne ces dix dernières années. Le feuilleton Bint ismahā Ḏāt, réalisé par Kamla Abouzekri et Khairy Beshara à partir d’un scénario écrit par Mariam Naoum en présente une éclatante illustration. Adaptée du roman de Sonallah Ibrahim Ḏāt, écrit en 1993, la fiction télévisuelle est proposée aux téléspectateurs en 2013. Quelle(s) nouveauté(s) cette adaptation introduit-elle dans le paysage dramatique télévisuel égyptien ? Nous verrons comment le feuilleton interroge le texte source, et quels sont les éléments de l’œuvre initiale que la fiction télévisée transforme en les amplifiant, en les réduisant ou en les éliminant.
Electronic Structure-Antioxidant Action Relationships for Chemical Compounds
Authors: Gorbachev Mikhail , Gorinchoy Natalia , Balan Iolanta , Arsene Ion
Published: June 2023

The relationships between electronic structure particularities and antioxidant activity of some chemical compounds are considered on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT) calculations of reactions between some natural phenolic antioxidants (gallic, caffeic, p-coumaric, and other acids), as well as dihydroxyfumaric acid, and the stable radicals ABTS•+ and DPPH• in water, ethanol, and methanol. Particular attention is paid to the processes of the primary proton transfer between neutral molecules of the above antioxidants and molecules of these solvents. The important factors are also considered: the formation of the charge transfer complexes (CTC) between the anionic forms of these antioxidants and the radicals, and possible tautomeric effects essentially changing the pre-reactional structures of the investigated antioxidant molecules and their anions. The quantitative relationships between the electronic structure parameters and the antioxidant activity of some short chain n-alkanes with radicals OH• and NO3• are also discussed.
Dihydroxyfumaric Acid
Authors: Bolocan Natalia , Duca Gheorghe
Published: June 2023

This chapter presents a review of the research that was conducted on a natural antioxidant - dihydroxyfumaric acid in the frames of the laboratory of physical and quantum chemistry. The structure and chemistry of dihydroxyfumaric acid are presented in view of its importance in biological cycles, as well as in prebiotic chemistry models. Technological applications are briefly reviewed for wine, food, and tobacco industries. Organic syntheses of new derivatives are presented, and their calculated antioxidant/antiradical activities towards the DPPH and ABTS radicals are discussed. Computational chemistry techniques are employed to gain insights into the isomerism and tautomerism of dihydroxyfumaric acid, and indices of global and local reactivity are calculated for the acid and its new derivatives, in order to theoretically explain the experimental results.
Electron Transfer
Authors: Leonties Anca R. , Aricov Ludmila , Raducan Adina
Published: June 2023

Oxidoreductases are a special class of enzymes that use the redox mechanism for the efficient transformation of organic substrates. Most oxidoreductases contain metals in the active site and, for optimal functioning, require the participation of a small co-substrate with the ability to donate electrons. From the multitude of enzymes with economic and applicable potential, the authors focused their attention on three particular classes: catalases, peroxidases, and laccases. Catalases and peroxidases contain heme iron in their active sites and most often require electron donors such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide while laccase contains copper and demands special co-substrates such as 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) or syringaldehyde. The theoretical aspects regarding the mechanism in which the electron transfer of the three enzymes is involved as well as the practical applications of the selected enzymes in the field of environmental remediation will be the subject of this chapter.
Redox Technologies in Wastewater Treatment for Removal of Pharmaceutical (Cephalexin) Contaminants
Authors: Gonta Maria Vasile , Mocanu Larisa , Duca Gheorghe
Published: June 2023

This chapter presents the study of kinetics and mechanisms of transformation of EC antibiotics by advanced oxidation processes. The aim of this chapter was to investigate the degradation of cephalexin in wastewater by redox technologies. The removal kinetics of the antibiotic CEX could be described by a pseudo first-order reaction with a reaction rate of (1.42 · 10-6 M-1s-1), a rate constant of 0.020 s-1, and a half-life of 35 s. At heterogeneous oxidation, the degradation/mineralization kinetics decreases, so the reaction rate is (0.93 · 10-6 M-1s-1), the rate constant is 0.008 s-1, and the half-life time is 87 s. Thus, the CEX concentration has reduced by 80% and the COD values by 88% for 30 min. The data obtained reveal that the homogeneous oxidation Fe2+/H2O2/UV-C is a promising treatment for the degradation of cephalexin with an initial concentration range of (50-100) mg/L comparative with heterogeneous oxidation TiO2/H2O2/UV-A.
Development of the “Transition Is a Becoming” Metaphor
Authors: Creed Allison
Published: June 2023

The present chapter highlights a unique participatory arts intervention aimed at promoting a sense of belonging and enhancing recognition of existing capabilities among a cohort of undergraduate and graduate university students from the Indo-Pacific region. The intervention took the form of a drama-based workshop and reflection activity aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the students' transferable qualities and behaviors in relation to university transition and career development. The concept of transition is examined through the lens of Gale and Parker's typology of induction, development, and becoming in the higher education ecosystem. The chapter details the analysis of students' metaphorical language to tap into personal and value-laden experiences of transition and offers insights to support career practitioners and university staff in recognizing, reframing, or developing culturally cognizant and agentic metaphors to aid in academic and socio-cultural adjustment and career preparation.
A Sustainable Career Ecosystem Perspective of Talent Flow and Acquisition
Authors: Baruch Yehuda , Ashleigh Melanie J. , Donald William E.
Published: June 2023

This chapter frames university graduates as the talent that flows between higher education institutions and industry. Higher education institutions aim to produce employable graduates, university graduates aim to secure graduate-level employment as part of a sustainable career, and organizations seek to secure graduates as part of the global war for talent and organizational sustainability. The purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of a sustainable career ecosystem through the lens of talent flow and acquisition at the interface between higher education and industry. Future research directions are also provided for bridging the vocational behavior and HRM literature streams, and for practical and policy agendas, via the exploration of existing challenges and associated opportunities.
How Career Development Professionals Can Close the Gap Between Human Resources and Gen Z
Authors: Flatt Alicia , Drewery David
Published: June 2023

Generation Z (Gen Z) is about to be the world's largest and most educated cohort of workers. Human resource managers (HRMs) now rely heavily on the human capital of post-secondary education (PSE) Gen Z graduates. Yet, they struggle to understand how Gen Z graduates' work motivations differ from those in previous generations. This chapter proposes that career development professionals (CDPs) working in PSE can help to create sustainable relationships between Gen Z graduates and HRMs. The chapter begins with a review of Gen Z work motivations and HRM's efforts to satisfy those. It then reviews the current model of CDPs' roles (one that focuses on educating students about HRMs) and proposes an extension to that role (one that focuses on educating HRMs about graduates). Practical examples of this reimagined role in action are provided. Ultimately, the chapter offers a new way of thinking about how CDPs facilitate successful school-to-work transitions and contribute to sustainable relationships between Gen Z graduates and HRMs.
The Personal Brand V.A.L.U.E. Career Development Tool
Authors: Sylvester Ray , Donald William E.
Published: June 2023

The chapter provides insights into the ubiquitous term personal branding in the context of establishing a career development tool for university students and graduates. The chapter begins with an overview of branding and personal branding before offering an integrated theoretical framework drawing together branding and career theories. Next, the authors present the ‘personal brand V.A.L.U.E.' career development tool (diagrammatically expressed using a purpose-driven Venn diagram) for career counselors to use with university students and graduates. The tool was developed by the lead author and contextualized into the career space in collaboration with the second author. The V.A.L.U.E. acronym stands for (i) vision, (ii) ability, (iii) love, (iv) understanding, and (v) ecosystem. A critical sequence of five questions enables students and clients to inculcate their own specific and individual intra-personal and inter-personal brand V.A.L.U.E. to establish an authentic career development plan and respond to evolving labor markets.
Preparing University Graduates for Sustainable Careers
Authors: Donald William E. , Jakubik Maria , Nimmi P. M.
Published: June 2023

This chapter aims to understand how graduates believe the future of work will evolve concerning demands and resources from early careers talent and organizations, and subsequently, what steps can be taken to enhance the career readiness of individuals undertaking the university-to-work transition. Twenty-eight university graduates participated in semi-structured interviews whereby 15 graduated in 2008 during the global financial crisis, and thirteen in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings identified four future of work themes: ‘skill development', ‘motivation', ‘career ownership', and ‘well-being'. Additionally, four themes were identified for how university graduates can be best prepared for sustainable careers: ‘Career awareness', ‘tailored career support', ‘industry partnerships' and ‘additional career support'. Theoretical contribution comes from linking the traditional job demands-resources model to sustainable career theory and career shocks. Practical implications come from empirically informed strategies to prepare university graduates for sustainable careers.
Designing Gen Z Careers
Authors: Khanna Pooja , Dutta Ritam
Published: June 2023

The chapter outlines an experimental project to integrate GROWTH – a group coaching technique – into large-enrollment classes for career development training. In this experimental pedagogical approach, career exploration intended to overcome challenges, find possibilities, and widen perspectives was introduced through group projects. The tools to prepare the students for a profession included mindfulness for success, wellbeing, locus of control, and self-reflection. The approach is intended to assist Gen Z students in realigning their professional aspirations with their current situations. This chapter also discusses the potential benefits of applying design thinking to career education. The chapter purports to explore the interrelationship between career adaptability and sustainable careers, and suggest a contemporary pedagogical method for career development learning in differing contexts, using the GROWTH coaching model and design thinking.
Numbers as Narrative
Authors: Lefkowitz Deborah
Published: June 2023

Staging numbers powerfully shape breast cancer narratives. Used by physicians to tell women about their breast cancer diagnoses, these numbers are integral to treatment decision-making. In women's calculus of survival, staging numbers portend hope and dread; they speak to how much lifetime remains. Drawing on 92 interviews with breast cancer survivors in California, the author argues that staging numbers represent, and function as, a form of illness narrative. Similar to more traditional illness narratives, they impart meaning to the cancer experience; they create order and temporal orientation. Numbers also offer women a way of negotiating possible alternative narrative endings. However, numbers do not capture the richness of lived experience and are, therefore, limited guides to treatment decision-making. Physicians can learn from cancer survivors' understandings of staging numbers how to communicate prognoses more effectively; they can become better collaborators in constructing narratives that focus on living a life, and not the fear of life's ending.
Exploring Ethical Principles Amongst Practicing Community Pharmacists in Portugal
Authors: Cavaco Afonso Miguel , Grilo Ana , Barros Luisa
Published: June 2023

Pharmacists facing ethical dilemmas have shown weaknesses in principled reasoning and disclosure. The chapter describes research on Portuguese community pharmacists' moral reasoning and narrative ethics. A cross-sectional survey comprising vignettes with practice ethical dilemmas, their possible justifications, and an open box for textual accounts was used as the research tool. More than 270 pharmacists replied, primarily young (<35 years old) female practitioners, and 75% were involved in direct contact with patients. At least 50% of the sample showed compliance with the expected ethical-based decisions, except for the non-maleficence principle (10.9%); although receiving the highest proportion of the corresponding justification (30.3%), no open accounts or narratives were registered. The present findings suggest ethical passivity associated with decision making in practice and a potential conflict between the clinical and the business roles. Explicit ethical norms for practice guidance and additional moral reasoning and narrative training are suggested.
An Overview of Disparities and Ethical Dilemmas in Global Ranking
Authors: Amunga Hellen , Korir Geoffrey
Published: June 2023

The global ranking of universities continues to elicit mixed results for universities. Based on such ranking, local governments find an opportunity to evaluate their accreditation, quality assurance, and standardization criteria for universities. They further get a chance to assess funding and other support needed by local institutions to strengthen their contribution to quality research and learning. Ranking pushes these institutions to re-evaluate their policies based on the realization that highly ranked universities make quality brands. This chapter gives a critical overview of ethical issues associated with global university ranking. It reveals that ranking indicators contain inherent weaknesses that disadvantage universities within lower and middle-income countries. It therefore proposes that crucial stakeholders must initiate and implement the removal of national, continental, and global impediments that limit fairness in the international competition of universities.
University Rankings and Performance Assessment Systems Driving Research Impact in the Global South
Authors: Mfengu Andiswa , Raju Jaya
Published: June 2023

Higher education performance assessment systems are under scrutiny as they are viewed as driving scholarship away from its fundamental purpose which is to recognize and reward scholarship that addresses the questions that matter most to society. This is further perpetuated by university rankings which might be good for the university's image but not for scholarship and involved researchers. Performance assessment indicators used by higher education institutions need to measure impact validly and reliably in different parts of society. A challenge to institutions and funders is to develop a methodology that can enhance quality control and research management and policy on top of equity rather than further exposing marginalized groups to epistemic injustices in these traditional systems. Hence the purpose of this study, which draws from a doctoral study on research impact assessment, is to explore how higher education institutions can use performance assessment to drive research impact in the global South.
Virtual Literature Circles
Authors: Scott Chyllis E. , McCormick Montana K. , Benge Cindy , Lane Mae
Published: June 2023

This study explored how virtual discussion provides a means for discourse between teacher candidates and practitioners from different parts of the United States. Students from three universities in content-area and disciplinary literacy courses focused on texts that explored the impact of illiteracy and literacy and how becoming literate is used for the empowerment of the characters as well as real-life subjects of the various texts. Academic and written discourse was created through the virtual literature circles and book discussions. Post-project reflections from virtual literature circles were evaluated and coded. The four emergent categories were: advocacy, awareness of other literacy, positive feedback about the project, and project problems. Findings suggest that teacher candidates' and practitioners' presented knowledge and growth through the written virtual discussions, which includes content and disposition growth, particularly in the context of the virtual book discussions. Limitations, recommendations for future research, and implications are discussed.
Preservice Teachers Noticing and Positioning Students as “Knowers” in Equitable Scientific Argumentation-Based Discussions
Authors: Benedict-Chambers Amanda , Madden Lauren , Lottero-Perdue Pamela S. , Mikeska Jamie N. , Rogers Meredith Park
Published: June 2023

This study investigated how preservice elementary teachers' (PSTs) noticed the discourse practices they used to position students and their scientific thinking as they engaged a group of student avatars in argumentation-based simulated discussions. Using qualitative methods, 82 teaching reflections from 28 PSTs were analyzed. Findings indicate that in most reflections (66%), the PSTs were able to support co-construction of knowledge in the Mursion ® simulations. A further 28% of the reflections indicated that one student was positioned as a “knower,” suggesting the beginning of power shifts within the classroom discussions. In just 6% of the reflections, the teacher was the person responsible for constructing knowledge. These findings suggest that simulations may provide PSTs with opportunities to practice positioning students as capable of explaining and questioning one another's ideas, and to develop teachers' skills to notice the discourse practices they use to build collective consensus in argumentation-based discussions.
Developing ESOL Pre-Service Teachers' Linguistic Competence Through Dialectical Variation Study
Authors: Hibbs Brian
Published: June 2023

This chapter overviews the components of a course unit on dialectical variation within a culture and education ESOL course designed to advance pre-service elementary education students' knowledge concerning the linguistic nature of various dialects of American English while also expanding their awareness of issues surrounding cultural attitudes and stereotypes associated with speakers of these linguistic varieties. The chapter begins with a discussion of various theoretical concepts that frame the course unit and provides an overview of several prevailing attitudes concerning dialectical variation and how the course unit works to counter these narratives. The chapter then highlights the resources, activities, and assignments that constitute the course unit along with an examination of how and why they are included and utilized in the unit. The chapter ends with an examination of possible resources and activities that may possibly be included in future iterations of the course unit.
Industry 5.0 and Cyber Crime Security Threats
Authors: Rajabion Lila
Published: June 2023

Cybersecurity is the act of protecting networks, programs, and systems against various hostile and digital assaults. Subset of a security program, it defends cyberspace from escalating assaults and dangers that result in significant damage to resources like finances, information, and applications. Hackers are increasingly targeting firms in the financial and industrial sectors, particularly for the purpose of stealing sensitive data. As a result, many business leaders are turning to cybersecurity to meet their company's security demands and prevent its precious assets from falling into the wrong hands. When it comes to safeguarding software and hardware against unauthorized access and intrusion, cyber assaults play a critical role. The security measure makes use of several security approaches, such as cybersecurity software, access control systems, antivirus and malware security programs, firewalls, and program upgrades, among all system users.

Human-robot co-working is an emerging subject in Industry 5.0 visions. The IOU provides generic services for a wide range of such as package delivery, traffic monitoring, search and rescue, and multiple applications. In this chapter, the authors present a conceptual model of how such an architecture can be developed as well as the components of an internet of drones system based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital twin are discussed. The future of drones will focus on the thrust area of computer-based domains.
Carpooling Solutions Using Machine Learning Tools
Authors: Pramanik Sabyasachi
Published: June 2023

Many people in the world face travel issues in their daily lives, such as traffic congestion, lack of parking spaces, fuel, waste, and pollution. For example, if there are not enough parking spaces on a university campus, it will take a significant amount of time for the students as well as faculty to find parking. In addition, if parking is available outside, employees will have to travel a long distance to enter the building, which will require additional time. Each day, many people in the world must travel a considerable distance to get to their destination. The purpose of this chapter is to resolve the travel issue by proposing a carpool solution using machine learning techniques.
Construction and Application of a Big Data Analysis Platform for College Music Education for College Students' Mental Health
Authors: Wang Xiaochen , Wang Tao
Published: June 2023

In this study, the authors devised a big data-driven evaluation model to measure the effect of college music education, aiming at filling the gaps of poor accuracy and time-consuming results of music education effect evaluation. Firstly, the authors determined the effect of an evaluation system of music for learning, and the evaluation of this effect. Then, they carried out a simulation experiment. The literature review evidenced that few domestic research reports considered college students' communication fear. Thus, combining the characteristics of current college students' psychological counseling and the theory of communication fear, the authors tried to apply the music system desensitization therapy to address college students' communication fear, from the intervention effect, feasibility, and therapy as a psychological counseling method. The results showed that music system desensitization therapy eliminates college students' fear of communication, reduces speech anxiety, reduces shyness, and improves interpersonal communication skills.

There are several studies that assess the influence of factors on citizens' intention to adopt e-government services in various contexts. However, there is a lack of research that examines the perceived barriers to B2G e-commerce adoption and develops an understanding of cause and effect group variables among them. This research is the first of its kind to extensively review the relevant literature in e-commerce adoption and assess the selected key factors which are equally relevant in the B2G e-commerce adoption. The authors apply a unique multi-criteria decision-making technique called DEMATEL to understand the nature of the barriers and collect data from eight experts having experience in B2G procurement in the public sector and government organizations. The data findings revealed that out of nine selected variables, five (i.e., lack of IT infrastructure [B1], lack of expertise and technical skills [B2], high cost of technology [B3], perceived information security risk [B5], and lack of awareness of government issues and legal policies [B6]) belonged to the ‘cause group' whereas the remaining four (i.e., organisational resistance to change [B4], lack of top management support [B7], low perceived operational benefits [B8], and unwillingness to adopt B2G e-commerce services [B9]) were found to be part of ‘effect group'. The theoretical and practical implications of the current study may enhance the understanding of B2G e-commerce adoption.

Widespread vegetated roofs, called green roofs, are becoming a popular option for sustainable design. Green roofs are capable of improving a variety of environmental parameters in urban areas. The construction of green roofs requires the consideration of many factors and parameters. For example, the structure of the building should be capable of carrying the extra weight of soil, water, and vegetation on the roof. The main objective of this paper is to study the impact of green roofs on buildings and to identify existing trends, technologies, and techniques. This paper investigates the implication of existing green roof technologies on structural design, energy demand, and life cycle cost. Using WUFI®, energy simulations were performed for the case study and the developed model was validated through cost analysis. Results showed that regional variations were sufficiently addressed through multi-level weight consideration in the proposed model. Findings from this study will be beneficial to urban planners and architects for the design and construction of more sustainable buildings.

Authors: Tan Benyan , Lin Yujie
Published: June 2023

With the advent of the big data era, information barriers are gradually being broken down and credit has become a key factor of company operations. The lack of company credit has greatly and negatively impacted the social economy, which has triggered considerable research on company credit. In this article, a credit risk warning model based on the XGBoost-SHAP algorithm is proposed that can accurately assess the credit risk of a company. The degree of influence of the characteristics of a company's credit risk and the warning threshold of important characteristics are obtained based on the model output. Finally, a comparison with several other machine learning algorithms showed that the XGBoost-SHAP model achieved the highest early warning accuracy and the most comprehensive explanatory output results. The experimental results show that the method can effectively provide a warning of the credit risk of a company based on the historical performance of the company's historical characteristics data. This method provides positive guidance for companies and financial institutions.

The present study aimed to describe the experience of a birth cohort study using advertisements on Facebook and Instagram in the attempt to increase user traffic on a study website and increase the interest of potential participants. Two advertisement flights (82 days total) provided a link to the study website where further information could be obtained, and a form could be completed to show interest in joining. Study specific data, SM analytics, and landing page metrics were collected. During the two flights, 34 participants consented and 47 showed interest via the study website; 1,184,112 impressions and 691 engagements were recorded. Flight 1 and 2 had an initial 494% and 612% increase in the number of sessions, respectively. Pageviews saw an initial 369% and 448% increase, respectively. New age recruitment methods influenced the number of SM analytics of the study website and should be used as a supplement to traditional methods.

Published: June 2023

Dependable systems pose particular challenges to system developers who try to implement agile approaches to tackle the problem of requirements scope creep. However, legislation compliance, safety case development, and other strong contextual influences may be seen to inhibit the implementation of any approaches other than the traditional linear life cycles, even though agility may be able to improve the development process in parts. This article discusses key success factors when integrating agile with structured systems development life cycle approaches. The authors adopt an empirical approach and analyse a historical case study of a personal rapid transit (PRT) system, reflecting on key factors and relating those to the relevant literature. Based on these experiences, a model for the integration of agile with structured systems lifecycle models in dependable systems is developed. This model addresses the challenge of integrating multiple lifecycles of potentially conflicting objectives within a single programme.

Immersive analytics (IA) is a fast-growing research field that concerns improving and facilitating human sense making and data understanding through an immersive experience. Understanding the suitable application scenario that will benefit from IA enables a shift towards developing effective and meaningful applications. This paper aims to explore tasks and scenarios that can benefit from IA by conducting a systematic review of existing studies and mapping them according to the multi-level typology for abstract visualization tasks, which is also known as the what-why-how framework. The study synthesizes several works to answer the why within the context of multiple levels of specificity. In addition, this study also explores the application domains and IA guiding scenarios to address when scenarios best integrate with IA. Then, the paper discusses the IA evaluation types and research methods to evaluate an IA application that can promote effective user engagement in IA. Finally, the limitations and potential future works are discussed.
The Effect of Countries' Independent Regulation on Cryptocurrency Markets
Authors: Ahsan Zaid Bin , Gupta Agam , Kar Arpan Kumar
Published: June 2023

Cryptocurrencies have increasingly been traded against fiat currencies and as a result, governments globally have been trying to regulate these largely decentralized currencies. In this study, event study methodology has been used to evaluate the effect of regulatory announcements made by 25 countries. Based on cryptocurrency usage and returns of three major cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin, Ether, and XRP, this study finds that regulatory news results in significant abnormal returns for Bitcoin and Ether, but not for XRP. The authors find that irrespective of the type of news, abnormal returns are almost always negative. The countries have also been clustered based on their abnormal returns and it has been found that country characteristics such as income level, technological readiness and innovation potential affect the magnitude of abnormal returns. Thus, cryptocurrencies being global in essence, their regulatory oversight in countries do not exist in isolation, but they are also affected by the countries' development.

Background

Intra-abdominal hypertension is a comorbid condition in critically ill children, is an independent predictor of mortality, and has harmful effects on multiple organ systems through renal, pulmonary or hemodynamic damage. Intra-abdominal pressure monitoring is widely used in clinical practice because it is a safe, accurate, inexpensive, and rapid method for the clinical diagnosis of intra-abdominal hypertension.

Objective

To improve pediatric critical care nurses’ understanding of and ability to perform intra-abdominal pressure monitoring and provide a reference for standardizing intra-abdominal pressure monitoring in clinical practice.

Methods

A literature review was performed using the following keywords: intra-abdominal pressure, bladder pressure, vesicular pressure, measurement, monitoring, critically ill children, pediatric intensive care, pediatric, and children. Four hundred fifty-four articles were initially identified and screened; 24 were included.

Results

The monitoring and management of intra-abdominal pressure should include appropriate and clinically proven intra-abdominal pressure measurement techniques, appropriate patients, the proper frequency of measurement, and a repeatable intra-abdominal pressure measurement method.

Conclusions

Knowledge of intra-abdominal pressure monitoring in critically ill children enhances the ability of nurses in clinical practice to accurately measure intra-abdominal pressure to improve the timeliness and accuracy of clinical identification of intra-abdominal hypertension and guide decompression interventions.
Identification of a lipolytic Trichoderma sp. and characterization of its extracellular lipase

Published: June 2023

Lipases are abundantly used in a wide range of industries. Currently, microbial lipases are the most popular source of industrial lipases, of which fungal lipases stand out due to their low cost of production, catalytic activity, and extracellular nature. The demand for lipases has kept researchers exploring new lipolytic fungi. However, the success of such studies lies in the optimization of the growth medium to maximize lipase secretion and the characterization of the enzyme to achieve its highest activity. Therefore, this research was undertaken to identify a lipolytic fungus that was isolated from soil, optimize its lipase secretion, and characterize it. Based on the results of the current study, the lipolytic fungus was identified as Trichoderma longibrachiatum. Its lipase secretion was maximal when it was cultured in a medium containing olive oil and ammonium sulfate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, at a pH of 7.0. Further, the Trichoderma lipase showed its highest activity at a pH of 6.0 and 40 °C. Moreover, preincubation of the lipase with Ca2+ increased its activity. The enzyme characterization revealed that the extracted Trichoderma lipase has industrially desirable properties. The research results showed that the lipolytic Trichoderma longibrachiatum could be focused on industrial applications.
