Les toupies Beyblade et la Reine des Neiges à l’école du langage : fabriques du genre et des rapports sociaux de classe à l’école maternelle
Authors: Montmasson-Michel Fabienne
Published: June 2020

S’appuyant sur une enquête ethnographique dans des écoles maternelles, l’article montre l’intériorisation précoce chez les jeunes enfants d’un ordre social et de dispositions différenciées. Au prisme de la socialisation langagière, la recherche examine l’influence conjuguée de quatre instances socialisatrices : l’école, le groupe de pairs, les familles et l’industrie culturelle. Elle montre ainsi la fabrique concrète de processus prédisposant les jeunes enfants à des orientations inégalement légitimes et socialement différenciées. Tramé par l’ordre scolaire, l’ordre du genre et les rapports sociaux de classe, ce processus perpétue notamment la domination masculine dans les classes dominantes culturellement.
The national innovation system and the difficulty of integrating the higher education system for science and technology in Algeria
Authors: Younes Bouacida Rédha
Published: June 2020

While there is an abundant literature on the construction and analysis of the national innovation system (NIS) in Algeria, few studies have focused on the difficulty of integrating the higher education system for science and technology into the NIS. The aim of this contribution will be to analyze the Algerian NIS in terms of building skills within the scientific and technological higher education system in order to promote learning and innovation capacities. This article considers why Algeria, despite the training policies implemented in postgraduate studies since 1990 to strengthen the scientific and technological system, has not managed to integrate it into its NIS. How will it be able to do this in order to build a strong NIS and improve its economic performance? Our analytic methodology will use three types of indicators (science and technology indicators, composite indicators, and indicators from innovation surveys) in order to describe the different components of the Algerian NIS and, in particular, to analyze the integration of the higher education system for science and technology within the NIS. Lastly, we will propose policies to promote the development of this missing element of the Algerian NIS.JEL classification: O31, O11, O57.

Published: June 2020

Rice husk and bamboo leaves are types of agricultural wastes that can easily be found around the world. Rice husk contains over 60 % of organic silica while silica bamboo leaves extract consist of more than 70 % silica content. Parameters such as concentration of acid and weight percentage of rice husk and bamboo leaves used during acid leaching method were also compared. In this paper, citric acid (C6H8O7) was used for production of silica from rice husk and bamboo leaves. Samples were characterized using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (FESEM / EDX). The performance of glaze on ceramic will be analyzed by undergoes hardness testing. The result indicates that highest percentage silica of rice husk and bamboo leaves after leaching was on 1.0M.

Published: June 2020

When the measurable quantities are not given a value for the amount considered or found a standard for the quantity, it requires calibra-tion. Calibration is a preparation process before starting the test. It is a process of finding the relationship between two unknown quanti-ties. If one of the quantities is known because it is made or set with another device, another measurement is made as similar way as possible with the first device using a second device. The measurable quantities may differ in two devices which are equivalent. The de-vice with the known or assigned correctness is called the standard. The second device is the unit under test, test instrument or any of several other names for the device calibrated. [1] The process can reduce the error margin of the tested measurement and that will prevent any unnecessary problems that may harm human in certain application applied.
Effect of Dimensionless Numbers on Air Core Diameter of Pressure-Swirl Atomizer
Authors: Ghaffar Zulkifli Abdul , Kasolang Salmiah , Hamid Ahmad Hussein Abdul , Rashid Mohd Syazwan Firdaus Mat
Published: June 2020

Air core is an important parameter in pressure swirl atomizer since formation of air core determines the thickness of the discharged liquid sheet and the effective flow area of nozzle discharge. This consequently will affect the coefficient of discharge and the spray angle. This study conducted for the investigation of the relation between dimensionless numbers on the air core diameter. Dimensionless numbers are helpful aid for the quantification of independent parameters involving atomizer design and operating conditions simultaneously. Reynolds number, Re and orifice-to-swirl chamber diameter ratio, N are the dimensionless numbers selected for this study. Despite of the availability of study on the effect of dimensionless numbers on air core diameter, more study requires especially for smaller N. An experimental test-rig was constructed to conduct the performance test of the atomizer. Acquired images were analyzed using image-processing software. It was found that N has more significant effect on the change of air core diameter compared to Re. However, it is observed that at Re = 40000, N = 0.07 produces almost similar air core diameter with N = 0.25 at Re < 20000. In contrast, with N = 0.5, air core diameter produces are larger even at Re < 20000. Hence, it can be concluded that both Re and N are important parameters in characterizing the air core diameter in pressure-swirl atomizer.
Mid-Life Refurbishment Maintenance Strategy to Sustain Performance and Reliability of Train System
Authors: Idris Mohd Firdaus Mohamad , Saad Nor Hayati
Published: June 2020

Mid-Life Refurbishment (MLR) is a process conducted in many industries to improve or extend the life span of assets such as machines, infrastructures and systems. The objective of MLR works execution is to extend the life span, sustain the train performance and achieve system reliability. Typically, the refurbishment scope consists of overhaul, upgrading and rectification works. The biggest challenge is to determine) the scope of refurbishment works and to create equilibrium between the feasibility and viability of the project. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to discuss the current practice of performing MLR maintenance through the utilization of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and to transform the existing FMEA used by the automotive industry to fulfil the needs of Rolling Stock. The use of FMEA is critical in determining) the scope of train refurbishment work. It was carried out at the initial stages of the process in order to determine Risk Priority Number (RPN) to prioritize the type of refurbishment plans and scope. The design of the FMEA Worksheets, De-sign of FMEA severity Evaluation Criteria, Design of Occurrence Evaluation Criteria and Design of FMEA Prevention/Detection Criteria were adopted and adapted from the generic format so that it is coherent with Railway Industries. The results based on the transformation framework, the plan and scope of overhaul, upgrading and rectification were defined using the FMEA. Out of the 80 elements of MLR works that were analyzed using the FMEA approach, it was found that 46 elements needed overhaul, 23 elements needed upgrading and 11 elements needed rectification works. Finally, the application of the FMEA helped determine the MLR scope of work from 13 systems. The case study was taken from the Malaysia LRT Project, and currently the fleet has been in operation for more than 20 years (operated since year 1998).

Published: June 2020

In this paper, an examination hall assistive robot (EHAR) had been developed to operate in an examination hall, to collect and deliver extra answer booklet for examination candidates. The systems will respond to user or student request through a table transmitter on each table via radio communication. The request by the students is collected by a CPU, before it is transmitted to the robot. The robot moves by following line on floor and read RFID tag for localization purpose. The robot has the ability to stop or avoid obstacle along the path received from the information obtained by the ultrasonic sensors. After the integration process, the performance of the developed system had been tested. The test had been carried out by moving EHAR through 3 points (RFID tags), where EHAR is required to turn on certain angle and direction after each tags read. The test was then repeated for another 10 times to obtained correct average results. The percentages of the average successful turns made by the EHAR are 83.3%. Therefore, it is hoped that this system will be implemented in exam halls and serves its purposes.
Prediction of Rotorcraft Broadband Trailing-Edge Noise and Parameter Sensitivity Study
Authors: Li Sicheng (Kevin) , Lee Seongkyu
Published: June 2020

This paper investigates the effects of rotorcraft design and operating parameters on trailing-edge noise. A rotor trailing-edge noise prediction method is first developed where the aerodynamics and the turbulence wall pressure spectrum near the trailing edge on airfoils are predicted
by a combination of the standard blade element momentum theory , a viscous boundary-layer panel method, and a recently developed empirical wall pressure spectrum model. The coordinate transformations are combined with the Amiet model to predict far-field noise. Compared to experimental data,
the validation of this method demonstrates its advantages and validity for airfoil and rotorcraft broadband noise predictions. Then, this method is used to study the effects of rotorcraft design and operating parameters on rotor trailing-edge noise. It is found that helicopter broadband noise
scales with the 4.5th to 5.0th power of the tip Mach number in which the range is determined by the typical helicopter collective pitch angle in operation. Detailed trend analyses of noise levels as a function of frequency are presented in terms of the collective pitch angle, twist angle,
rotor solidity, rotor radius, disk loading, and number of blades. It is found that the collective pitch angle, twist angle, and chord length make noticeable impacts on low- and midfrequency noise. Finally, a semianalytic model is presented to predict the directivity and geometric attenuation
of rotor trailing-edge noise.

Published: June 2020

As a leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality, obesity has become a major global public health problem. It is therefore important to investigate the spatial variation of obesity prevalence and its associations with environmental and behavioral factors (e.g., food environment, physical activity), to optimize the targeting of scarce public health resources. In this study, the geographic clustering of obesity in the Netherlands was explored by analyzing the local spatial autocorrelation of municipal-level prevalence rates of adulthood obesity (aged ≥19 years) in 2016. The potential influential factors that may be associated with obesity prevalence were first selected from five categories of healthrelated factors through binary and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regressions. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) was then used to investigate the spatial variations of the associations between those selected factors and obesity prevalence. The results revealed marked geographic variations in obesity prevalence, with four clusters of high prevalence in the north, south, east, and west, and three clusters of low prevalence in the north and south of the Netherlands. Lack of sports participation, risk of anxiety, falling short of physical activity guidelines, and the number of restaurants around homes were found to be associated with obesity prevalence across municipalities. Our findings show that effective, region-specific strategies are needed to tackle the increasing obesity in the Netherlands.
[Vascular spontaneous flora of the town of Modena: analysis of the historic centre]
Authors: Buldrini Fabrizio , Gentilini Matteo , Bruni Cinzia , Santini Claudio , Alessandrini Alessandro , Bosi Giovanna
Published: June 2020

[The results of the first systematic study concerning the urban flora of Modena are here presented. Data collection was carried out in 2014-2018, by inspecting every road and square of the historic centre, intended as the area encompassed within the wide avenues that retrace the layout of the 16th century ramparts. 344 plant species were found, of which 1 is new for the flora of Italy, 10 are new for Emilia-Romagna and 19 are new for the province of Modena. Among these 30 new species, alien species make up 63%. There are 17 species no longer found during this study, which were observed at least 20 years ago or were testified only by late 19th century herbarium samples. The life form spectrum is dominated by the therophytes (44%), followed by hemicryptophytes (28%) and phanerophytes (15%). Eurasian (28%), Mediterranean (24%) and cosmopolite species (24%) dominate the chorological spectrum. Neophytes are 18% of the total number of species, quite a low percentage if compared with what was observed in other towns of the Po Plain and Central Europe. This fact is probably due to the small area of the historic city centre, whose compact urbanistic structure seems to resist against the diffusion of alien plants. The invasive species are 11% of the total. The presence of 15 hygrophilous species is interesting, since they indicate irrigation or hyper-irrigation of lawns and flowerbeds. We found 4 protected species at the regional level, of which 2 are escaped from cultivation. Concerning the affinity of the species to urban ecology, the floristic list is dominated by the urban-neutral (45%) and urbanophilous species (42%). This fact can indicate a good variety in terms of growth environments, with most of them probably in a quite advanced phase of ecological evolution for an urban centre, and also a fairly good environmental quality, likely due – at least partially – to the abundance of green areas. The species richness in every road or square is strongly correlated to the environmental heterogeneity (ρ = 0,794) and moderately correlated to the nearby presence of green areas (ρ = 0,544) and to the road length or square surface (ρ = 0,665 and 0,673, respectively). Furthermore, a weak correlation (ρ = 0,212) exists between the presence of horticultural or food species and the presence of restaurants in the same road or square. Therefore, the town is confirmed to be a very dynamic ecosystem with great biological richness, useful to understand the ecological strategies developed by plants to adapt to sometimes very unfavourable conditions. In addition, during the process of colonisation of a region, urban areas often act as a «hub» for the spreading of species along the road and railway network. Understanding and respecting the ecological roles of native species is thus fundamental for modern urban planning, aimed at improving the quality of life as a whole.]

Paul’s teaching on the use of alcohol and its implications for the church in Nigeria
Authors: Ademiluka Solomon O.
Published: June 2020

The topic of alcohol consumption is very relevant in contemporary Nigeria not only because alcohol is heavily consumed in the country, but because it is also commonly abused. Relating the issue of alcohol to Nigerian Christians is also significant, because the question of the proper Christian attitude to alcohol is always a public discourse; and whereas most Christians are not knowledgeable on the accurate teaching of the Bible on alcohol consumption, most denominations do not have any faith-based statement on it. Hence, the article examined the implications of Paul’s teaching on alcohol for the church in Nigeria regarding a Christian attitude to alcohol consumption. The target groups are the church in Nigeria, and Nigerian Christians who are confused regarding the correct Christian attitude to alcohol consumption. The article employs the exegetical and descriptive methods. It found that the Greek word oinos (wine) in the New Testament (NT) refers to fermented grape juice; this was very commonly used and was usually well diluted with water before drinking, in order to reduce its alcohol content. The article also discovered that Paul did not command total abstinence from alcohol. He only warned Christians in general and church leaders specially against drunkenness. The relevance for Nigerian Christians therefore resides in the context of widespread alcohol abuse, which is a challenge to the church. The article recommends that the church should develop a Bible-based theology in her attitude to alcohol. In line with Paul’s teaching, rather than ordering total abstinence, the programme should encourage Christians to avoid drunkenness.
Impact of Intermittent Hypoxia on Peripheral Nervous Systems in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Authors: Tavsanli Mustafa Emir , Senel Gulcin Benbir , Gunduz Aysegul , Karadeniz Derya , Adatepe Nurten Uzun
Published: June 2020

Objectives:

Intermittent hypoxia resulting in endothelial dysfunction in microvascular circulation constitutes one of the mechanisms underlying complications of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. The role of intermittent hypoxia on peripheral nerves, however, is still debated. Here, we designed a study in patients with OSAS to investigate different levels of the central and peripheral nervous systems, in order to delineate what kind of pathologic substrate was present, if any, and at which level of the neuromuscular pathway.

Methods:

A total of 20 patients with OSAS and 18 sex- and age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in our study. All participants underwent nerve conduction studies (NCSs) to analyze peripheral nerves, evoked potentials for somatosensory, visual evoked potential (VEP) and brainstem auditory pathways, blink reflex studies to analyze brainstem and subcortical structures, and transcranial magnetic stimulation to analyze the motor cortex and corticospinal pathway.

Results:

A comparison of NCSs between the two groups showed that the motor amplitudes of the ulnar nerve (P = 0.015) and sensory amplitudes of the sural nerve (P = 0.026) were significantly smaller in the OSAS group than those in the control group. The mean P100 amplitudes of VEP responses were 7.11 ± 2.73 μV in the OSAS group and 9.75 ± 3.52 μV in the control group (P = 0.022). In correlation analysis, the amplitude of P100 responses was positively correlated with the lowest oxygen saturation (P = 0.026).

Conclusion:

Our results confirmed the presence of generalized axonal involvement in the peripheral nervous system in OSAS, probably secondary to chronic intermittent hypoxemia.

Collaboration Between Scientists and Teachers Using Twitter
Authors: Norville Kayla
Published: June 2020

When considering how you learned science when you were in school, do you remember participating in authentic science or do you recall memorizing facts? Unfortunately, most of us may say the latter; however, there are changes currently occurring in science education that strive to reconstruct this trajectory. Science education reform has emphasized the partnership between teachers and scientists (Kim & Herbert, 2011) in order to increase authentic scientific inquiry in the classroom. Authentic science has been shown to positively influence students’ science identity, allow students to develop critical science skills, and increase student motivation (Chapman & Feldman, 2017; Hellgren, 2017; Tarjan, de Nesnera, & Hoffman, 2015). Therefore, the partnership between scientists and teachers to generate authentic science in the classroom has become increasingly crucial. One way to assist teachers to partner with scientists is through social media platforms such as Twitter. Educators have shown increasing interest in using Twitter as a source of professional development and collaboration with others (Xing & Gao, 2018). Considering this, collaboration on Twitter can also play a role in the social capital of teachers. Social capital can be defined as the “relational resources embedded in the cross-cutting personal ties that are useful for the development of individuals in community social organizations” (Tsai & Ghoshal, 1998, p. 404). However, there has been a lack of research that examines the impact of Twitter on teachers’ social capital (Rhem & Notten, 2016).
El léxico en la evaluación y en la didáctica de la escritura de textos de literatura
Authors: Godínez López Eva Margarita , Alarcón Neve Josefina
Published: June 2020

Es común que se solicite a los estudiantes escribir textos con un lenguaje académico variado, pero a menudo estos reciben una evaluación subjetiva. Por esta razón, es necesario describir objetivamente el léxico como indicador de competencia, tal como suele plantearse en rúbricas de evaluación, para que los estudiantes puedan desarrollar sus escritos con mayor apego al lenguaje académico especializado. En este trabajo nos propusimos correlacionar las características del léxico empleado por estudiantes de bachillerato en la clase de literatura con la calificación otorgada por jueces experimentados en el uso de rúbricas. El objetivo fue determinar si las diferencias en las características del léxico repercuten en cambios en la calificación. Para tal fin, se sometieron a evaluación experta 120 textos escritos por estudiantes en un bachillerato del centro de México y se hicieron pruebas estadísticas correlacionando el léxico con la calificación. Los resultados confirman la hipótesis de que los textos mejor evaluados son aquellos que empaquetan más información mediante palabras de contenido semántico y sustantivos y no tanto por usar un lenguaje variado. Los hallazgos de este estudio pueden contribuir a la enseñanza del léxico en la escritura académica, así como en el diseño de rúbricas para su evaluación más precisa.
La educación literaria: nuevos referentes para trabajar la igualdad desde la perspectiva de género. Propuestas didácticas
Authors: Hernández Quintana Blanca
Published: June 2020

Las investigaciones derivadas de los estudios de género proponen, entre otros objetivos, nuevos referentes desde los que ampliar y modificar la representación social y cultural que ha conformado el imaginario colectivo. La crítica literaria feminista y la teoría queer rescatan voces silenciadas por el sistema patriarcal y deconstruyen los textos literarios para ofrecer nuevas interpretaciones que den voz a pluridentidades alternativas al orden normativo. Del mismo modo, sugieren obras con las que ofrecer modelos de identificación que abarquen una dimensión social lo más amplia y real posible. La educación literaria tiene la responsabilidad de educar a lectores/as capaces de interactuar con la obra, pero también capaces de contemplar otros modelos identitarios en los que reconocerse o considerar y respetar. El objetivo de este artículo es profundizar en la necesidad de utilizar en el aula mecanismos y estrategias literarias que forman parte del proceso de construcción de la identidad para trabajar la igualdad, y ofrecer propuestas didácticas para el alumnado de Educación Primaria y Secundaria.

Published: June 2020

Background: The prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), especially the KPC-2-producing Klebisella pneumoniae, is rapidly increasing and becoming a menace to global public health. This study aims to present the molecular epidemiology of the KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates emerged in a tertiary hospital in South Korea and describe its clinical significance. Methods: This study included carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae isolates collected from a tertiary hospital from April to December in 2018. Antimicrobial susceptibility of K. pneumoniae isolates was tested using disk diffusion method. PCR and DNA sequence analyses were performed to identify the resistance genotype. In addition, the molecular epidemiology was investigated using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequencing typing (MLST). Results: Total 100 KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates were collected, which were mainly classified into two pulsotypes according to the XbaI restriction digestion pattern by PFGE analysis (pulsotype A, n = 31; pulsotype B, n = 63). The isolates exhibiting pulsotype A belonged to ST395 and the remaining isolates exhibiting pulsotype B were attributed to ST307 by MLST analysis. Conclusion: This study investigated clinical information and molecular bacterial profiles for KPC-2-producing K. pneumoniae isolates. These findings indicate that the proper infection control activities are needed to prevent the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms such as CPE, which could cause high mortality in clinical field.

Abstract. The temporal evolution of the abundance of long-lived,
anthropogenic chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere is a major factor in
determining the timing of total column ozone (TCO) recovery. Recent
observations have shown that the atmospheric mixing ratio of CFC-11 is not
declining as rapidly as expected under full compliance with the Montreal
Protocol and indicate a new source of CFC-11 emissions. In this study, the
impact of a number of potential future CFC-11 emissions scenarios on the
timing of the TCO return to the 1960–1980 mean (an important milestone on the
road to recovery) is investigated using the Met Office's Unified Model
(Hewitt et al., 2011) coupled with the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol
scheme (UM-UKCA). Key uncertainties
related to this new CFC-11 source and their impact on the timing of the TCO
return date are explored, including the duration of new CFC-11 production
and emissions; the impact of any newly created CFC-11 bank; and the effects
of co-production of CFC-12. Scenario-independent relationships are
identified between cumulative CFC emissions and the timing of the TCO return
date, which can be used to establish the impact of future CFC emissions
pathways on ozone recovery in the real world. It is found that, for every
200 Gg Cl (∼258 Gg CFC-11) emitted, the timing of the global TCO return to 1960–1980 averaged values is delayed by ∼0.56 years. However, a marked hemispheric asymmetry in the latitudinal impacts of
cumulative Cl emissions on the timing of the TCO return date is identified,
with longer delays in the Southern Hemisphere than the Northern Hemisphere
for the same emission. Together, these results indicate that, if rapid
action is taken to curb recently identified CFC-11 production, then no
significant delay in the timing of the TCO return to the 1960–1980 mean is
expected, highlighting the importance of ongoing, long-term measurement
efforts to inform the accountability phase of the Montreal Protocol.
However, if the emissions are allowed to continue into the future and are
associated with the creation of large banks, then significant delays in the
timing of the TCO return date may occur.
Best practices for precipitation sample storage for offline studies of ice nucleation

Abstract. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are efficiently removed from clouds through precipitation, a convenience of nature for the study of these very rare particles that influence multiple climate-relevant cloud properties including ice crystal concentrations, size distributions, and phase-partitioning processes. INPs suspended in precipitation can be used to estimate in-cloud INP concentrations and to infer their original composition. Offline droplet assays are commonly used to measure INP concentrations in precipitation samples. Heat and filtration treatments are also used to probe INP composition and size ranges. Many previous studies report storing samples prior to INP analyses, but little is known about the effects of storage on INP concentration or their sensitivity to treatments. Here, through a study of 15 precipitation samples collected at a coastal location in La Jolla, CA, USA, we found significant changes caused by storage to concentrations of INPs with warm to moderate freezing temperatures (−7 to −19 ºC). We compared four conditions: 1.) storage at room temperature (+21–23 ºC), 2.) storage at +4 ºC 3.) storage at −20 ºC, and 4.) flash freezing samples with liquid nitrogen prior to storage at −20 ºC. Results demonstrate that storage can lead to both enhancements and losses of greater than one order of magnitude, with non-heat-labile INPs being generally less sensitive to storage regime, but significant losses of INPs smaller than 0.45 μm in all tested storage protocols. No correlation was found between total storage time (1–166 days) and changes in INP concentration. We provide the following recommendations for preservation of precipitation samples from coastal environments intended for INP analysis: that samples be stored at −20 ºC to minimize storage artifacts, that changes due to storage are likely and an additional uncertainty in INP concentrations, and that filtration treatments be applied only to fresh samples. Average INP losses of 72 %, 42 %, 25 % and 32 % were observed for untreated samples stored using the room temperature, +4 ºC, −20 ºC, and flash frozen protocols, respectively. Finally, correction factors are provided so that INP measurements obtained from stored samples may be used to estimate concentrations in fresh samples.

Published: June 2020

Abstract. This study introduces an efficient deep learning approach based on convolutional neural networks with joint autoencoder and adversarial structures for 3D subsurface mapping from surface observations. The method was applied to delineate palaeovalleys in an Australian desert landscape. The neural network was trained on a 6,400 km2 domain by using a land surface tomography as 2D input and an airborne electromagnetic (AEM)-derived probability map of palaeovalley presence as 3D output. The trained neural network has a maximum square error
La presencia de la lengua francesa y las producciones culturales francófonas en la creación literaria de Chantal Maillard
Authors: Lozano Marín Laura
Published: June 2020

Con apenas 11 años, la filósofa y poeta Chantal Maillard abandonó su Bélgica natal para establecerse en Málaga. Desde entonces, aunque su lengua materna era el francés y se nutría de lecturas literarias y filosóficas en dicho idioma, adoptó como lengua vehicular de su escritura el español. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar y poner de manifiesto la influencia y presencia de la lengua francesa en la obra literaria de la escritora, así como la influencia de filósofos franceses como Deleuze y de pintores y poetas belgas como Henri Michaux.
Flaubert, Barthes, Proust: those revered in Georges Perec's Things
Authors: Heim Matthieu
Published: June 2020

In addition to the clear, undeniable borrowings from Flaubert and the references to Roland Barthes, there is another, less obvious lineage that Les Choses seeks to create as soon as the young Perec appeared on the literary scene. But, as with everything that is intimate in Perec, the reader can only glimpse this “obliquely”, that is to say, by allusion and by ricochet. For Perec, an orphan since the end of World War II, the Proustian figure of the Narrator is indeed associated with the search for time forever lost. Thus, in the short extract that concerns us, the ordinary objects displayed in a shop window, in the manner of a still life by Chardin, make up a memorial to the beloved ones tragically deceased and simultaneously pay a discrete, if not secret, homage to Proust and his poetic art.

N. C. Ejituwu and the Historiography of Niger Delta Inter-Group Relations
Authors: Asuk O. C.
Published: June 2020

The Niger Delta has an interesting history of inter-group relations with attendant interchange of ideas and influences that reflected its heterogeneous and multi-polar character. However, the apparent predominant historiography of these inter-group relations tend to demonstrate an inherent prejudice against Andoni (Obolo) contrary to historical facts that portray her military exploits and significant influences on the evolution and peopling of the region and beyond. Primarily, this work aims at analyzing the role of Nkparom Claude Ejituwu in the historical reconstruction narratives of the complex inter-group relations woven around inter-marriages, inter-related migrations, commercial rivalries or competitions for economic resources, wars and fluid alliances, and traditional diplomacies with intricate outcomes. The study utilized primary and secondary sources to demonstrate the terrific historical, cultural, economic and political exchanges between Andoni and her neighbours as well as the strength of Ejituwu's scholarship in the deconstruction of orthodox stereotypes in the historiography of Niger Delta inter-group interactions. It concludes that Andoni had developed significant relations with and radically impacted her neighbours before European colonialism altered it to produce critical implications for Andoni in the post-colonial era.
Bamsens fortellinger om familielivet – hvordan familieidealer reproduseres gjennom skole-hjem-kommunikasjon
Authors: Borovski Lübeck Susanna , Haldar Marit , Wærdahl Randi
Published: June 2020

Artikkelen analyserer en skole-hjem-kommunikasjon. Denne består av skriftlige hverdagsfortellinger fra hjemmene til førsteklassinger som har hatt besøk av en klassemaskot, en bamse. Målet for analysen er å løfte fram familieidealer og felles kulturelle forståelser av hva som er en god barndom og et godt familieliv. Tekstene handler i stort omfang om å gi omsorg og kos, men viser også hvordan familiene evner å håndtere vanskeligheter og travelhet. Familiefellesskapet kjennetegnes ved innholdsrike og aktive hverdager sammen, hvor kos er både et utgangspunkt, en tilstand og en belønning. Artikkelen legger spesiell vekt på bamsens rolle i disse fortellingene. Bamsen brukes aktivt i familienes selvpresentasjon og gjør det mulig å beskrive flere meningslag. Aktiviteter omtales for eksempel som krevende for bamsen, men ikke for familien, og gir slik et bilde av familien som en som er klar over dagliglivets utfordringer, men mestrer dem. Selv om familielivet beskrives som aktivitetsfylt og krevende, vurderes det som koselig.
English abstract
The article analyses a school-home communication. The written communication comprises everyday life stories from the homes of families of first grade children who have been visited by the school class mascot, a teddy bear. The aim of the analysis is to bring forward common cultural understandings of what constitutes a good childhood and a good family life. The texts are full of examples of ways to provide care and comfort, but they also demonstrate how families are able to deal with difficulties and stressful days. Rich and active weekdays characterize family togetherness, where “coziness” is both a starting point, a state of being and a reward. The article focuses specifically on the bear’s role in these stories. Families actively use the mascot in their self-presentation with many layers of meaning. For example, describing challenging activities as demanding for the bear, but not for the family, tells us that the family is aware of challenges in daily life, but handles them well. We also see that while describing family life as activity filled and demanding, it is often evaluated as “cozy”.
