Theme Park Fandom
Authors: Williams Rebecca
Published: June 2020

Theme Park Fandom argues that serious study of theme parks and their adult fans has much to tell us about contemporary transmediality and convergence, themed and immersive spaces, and audience relationships with places of meaning. Considering the duopoly of Disney and Universal in Orlando, the book explores a range of theme park experiences including planning trips, meeting characters, eating and drinking, engaging in practices such as cosplay and re-enactment, and memorializing lost attractions. Highlighting key themes such as immersion, materiality, cultural distinctions, and self-identity, the book argues that theme parks are a crucial site for the exploration of transmediality and the development of paratexts. Proposing the key concepts of spatial transmedia and haptic fandom, the book offers analysis of the intersections between fandom, media texts, and merchandise, as well as fans’ own affective and physical responses to visiting the parks.
Guardians of Living History
Authors: Melchior Inge
Published: June 2020

Guardians of Living History: An Ethnography of Post-Soviet Memory Making in Estonia interrogates how people living in a society with an extremely complicated, violent past, only a short history of independence, and a desire to belong to Europe engage with the past, both within their families and as members of a national community. In line with other scholarship on memory, this book shows that many Estonians desire an established collective story, as they live in a society where their national identity is quite regularly under threat. At the same time however, that same closure is perceived to pose a threat to the survival of Estonian culture and independence. Guardians of Living History provides an intimate insight into the lives of Estonians from the countryside, former deportees, young intellectuals, and memory activists, who all in their own ways act as guardians of a national history: a history which they wish to keep alive, apolitical, and as close to their family stories as possible.

The Spanish Pacific designates the space Spain colonized or aspired to rule in Asia between 1521 -- with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan -- and 1815 -- the end of the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade route. It encompasses what we identify today as the Philippines and the Marianas, but also Spanish America, China, Japan, and other parts of Asia that in the Spanish imagination were extensions of its Latin American colonies. This reader provides a selection of documents relevant to the encounters and entanglements that arose in the Spanish Pacific among Europeans, Spanish Americans, and Asians while highlighting the role of natives, mestizos, and women. A-first-of-its-kind, each of the documents in this collection was selected, translated into English, and edited by a different scholar in the field of early modern Spanish Pacific studies, who also provided commentary and bibliography.
The Female Baroque in Early Modern English Literary Culture
Authors: Waller Gary
Published: June 2020

The Female Baroque in Early Modern English Literary Culture is a contribution to the revival of early modern women’s writings and cultural production in English that began in the 1980s. Its originality is twofold: it links women’s writing in English with the wider context of Baroque culture, and it introduces the issue of gender into discussion of the Baroque. The title comes from Julia Kristeva’s study of Teresa of Avila, that ‘the secrets of Baroque civilization are female’. The book is built on a schema of recurring Baroque characteristics — narrativity, hyperbole, melancholia, kitsch, and plateauing, pointing less to surface manifestations and more to underlying ideological tensions. The crucial concept of the book is developed in detail. Particular attention is given to Gertrude More, Mary Ward, Aemilia Lanyer, The Ferrar/Collet women, Mary Wroth, the Cavendish sisters, Hester Pulter, Anne Hutchinson, and finally Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn, whose lives and writings point to the developing cultural transition to the Enlightenment.

Border deaths are a result of dynamics involving diverse actors, and can be interpreted and represented in various ways. Critical voices from civil society (including academia) hold states responsible for making safe journeys impossible for large parts of the world population. Meanwhile, policy-makers argue that border deaths demonstrate the need for restrictive border policies. Statistics are widely (mis)used to support different readings of border deaths. However, the way data is collected, analysed, and disseminated remains largely unquestioned. Similarly, little is known about how bodies are treated, and about the different ways in which the dead - also including the missing and the unidentified - are mourned by familiars and strangers. New concepts and perspectives contribute to highlighting the political nature of border deaths and finding ways to move forward. The chapters of this collection, co-authored by researchers and practitioners, provide the first interdisciplinary overview of this contested field.
Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia

Published: June 2020

Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia: Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth focuses on the new and diversifying interactions between civil society and the state in contemporary East Asia by including cases of entanglement and contention in the three fully consolidated democracies in the area: Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. The contributions to this book argue that all three countries have reached a new era of post high growth and mature democracy, leading to new social anxieties and increasing normative diversity, which have direct repercussions on the relationship between the state and civil society. It introduces a comparative perspective in identifying and discussing similarities and differences in East Asia based on in-depth case studies in the fields of environmental issues, national identities as well as neoliberalism and social inclusion that go beyond the classic dichotomy of state vs ‘liberal’ civil society.

This path-breaking collection offers an integrative model for understanding health and healing in Europe and the Mediterranean from 1250 to 1550. By foregrounding gender as an organizing principle of healthcare, the contributors challenge traditional binaries that ahistorically separate care from cure, medicine from religion, and domestic healing from fee-for-service medical exchanges. The essays collected here illuminate previously hidden and undervalued forms of healthcare and varieties of body knowledge produced and transmitted outside the traditional settings of university, guild, and academy. They draw on non-traditional sources -- vernacular regimens, oral communications, religious and legal sources, images and objects -- to reveal additional locations for producing body knowledge in households, religious communities, hospices, and public markets. Emphasizing cross-confessional and multilinguistic exchange, the essays also reveal the multiple pathways for knowledge transfer in these centuries. Gender, Health, and Healing, 1250-1550 provides a synoptic view of how gender and cross-cultural exchange shaped medical theory and practice in later medieval and Renaissance societies.
Transregional Lordship and the Italian Renaissance
Authors: Vester Matthew
Published: June 2020

René de Challant, whose holdings ranged from northwestern Italy to the Alps and over the mountains into what is today western Switzerland and eastern France, was an Italian and transregional dynast. The spatially dispersed kind of lordship that he practiced and his lifetime of service to the house of Savoy, especially in the context of the Italian Wars, show how the Sabaudian lands, neighboring Alpine states, and even regions further afield were tied to the history of the Italian Renaissance. Situating René de Challant on the edge of the Italian Renaissance helps us to understand noble kin relations, political networks, finances, and lordship with more precision. A spatially inflected analysis of René’s life brings to light several themes related to transregional lordship that have been obscured due to the traditional tendencies of Renaissance studies. It uncovers an ‘Italy’ whose boundaries extend not just into the Mediterranean, but into regions beyond the Alps.
Art, Trade, and Imperialism in Early Modern French India
Authors: Oliver Liza
Published: June 2020

French mercantile endeavors in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century India were marked by novel intersections of aesthetics, science, and often violent commercialism. Connecting all of these worlds were the thriving textile industries of India's Coromandel Coast. This book focuses on the integration of the Coromandel textile industries with French colonies in India from the founding of the French East India Company in 1664 to its debilitating defeat by the British during the Seven Years' War. Narratives of British trade and colonialism have long dominated eighteenth-century histories of India, overshadowing the French East India Company's far-reaching sphere of influence and its significant integration into the political and cultural worlds of South India. As this study shows, the visual and material cultures of eighteenth-century France and India were deeply connected, and together shaped the century's broader debates about mercantilism, liberalism, and the global trade of goods, ideas, and humans.
Orbital solitary fibrous tumors: a multi-centered histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis with radiological description

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND:

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT), formerly called hemangiopericytoma, are rare tumors derived from mesenchymal cells originally described in the pleura, but these tumors may affect extraserosal tissues including the lacrimal gland and orbit.

OBJECTIVE:

Conduct a multi-centered clinical, radiological and histopathological analysis of 17 orbital SFT cases.

DESIGN:

A retrospective case series.

SETTING:

Three eye centers in two countries.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

The data collected from the charts of 17 adult patients presenting with tissue diagnosis of orbital hemangiopericytoma or SFT from January 2003 to December 2018 included demographics, clinical imaging and histopathological information including immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

The demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and histopathological patterns or variants of SFT were analyzed.

SAMPLE SIZE:

17 adult patients.

RESULTS:

Mean age was 45 years (range 23-80 years). Male to female ratio was 3:1. The right eye was affected in 12 (70.5%) patients. Commonest presentation was proptosis in 13/17 (76% of patients). Other symptoms were impaired motility (29%) and ptosis (11%). Lesions mostly affected the medial orbit (35%), then orbital apex in 11%. The histopathological classic pattern-less variant was the commonest. One case with aggressive behavior, multiple recurrences and atypical features was encountered. Immunohistochemical (IHC) markers used included CD34 expression in all cases, Bcl-2 expression in 10/11, CD99 in 9/9 and Vimentin in 4/4. STAT6 was used in 2 cases.

CONCLUSIONS:

SFTs are rare tumors affecting the orbit in both genders equally in their mid-forties, but showed male predominance in our analysis with a predominant classic histopathological pattern. Tissue diagnosis is essential and requires IHC studies for confirmation.

LIMITATIONS:

Sample size is relatively small owing to the rarity of this tumor in the orbit.

None.
Climate data induced uncertainties in simulated carbon fluxes under corn and soybean systems
Authors: Bandaru Varaprasad
Published: June 2020

Abstract. Net carbon balance on croplands depends on numerous factors (e.g., crop type, soil, climate and management practices) and their interactions. Agroecosystem models are generally used to assess cropland carbon fluxes under various agricultural land use and land management practices because of their ability to capture the complex interactive effects of factors influencing carbon balance. For regional carbon flux simulations, generally gridded climate data sets are used because they offer data for each grid cell of the region of interest. However, studies consistently report large uncertainties in gridded climate datasets, which will affect the accuracy of carbon flux simulations. This study investigates the uncertainties in daily weather variables of commonly used high resolution gridded climate datasets in the U.S (NARR, NLDAS, Prism and Daymet), and their impact on the accuracy of simulated Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) under irrigated and non-irrigated corn and soybeans using the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) agroecosystem model and observational data at four flux tower cropland sites in the U.S Midwest region. Further, the relative significance of each weather variable in influencing the uncertainty in flux estimates was evaluated. Results suggest that daily weather variables in all gridded climate datasets display some degree of bias, leading to considerable uncertainty in simulated NEE fluxes. The gridded climate datasets produced based on interpolation techniques (i.e. Daymet and Prism) were shown to have less uncertainties, and resulted in NEE estimates with relatively higher accuracy, likely due to their higher spatial resolution and higher dependency on meteorological station observations. The Mean Absolute Percentage Errors (MAPE) values of average growing season NEE estimates for Dayment, Prism, NLDAS and NARR include 22.53 %, 23.45 %, 62.52 % and 66.18 %, respectively. The NEE under irrigation management (MAPE = 53.15 %) tends to be more sensitive to uncertainties compared to the fluxes under non-irrigation (MAPE = 34.19 %). Further, this study highlights that NEE fluxes respond differently to the individual climate variables, and responses vary with management practices. Under irrigation management, NEE fluxes are more sensitive to shortwave radiation and temperature. Conversely, under non-irrigation management, precipitation is the most dominant climate factor influencing uncertainty in simulated NEE fluxes. These findings demonstrate that careful consideration is necessary when selecting climate data to mitigate uncertainties in simulated NEE fluxes. Further, alternative approaches such as integration of remote sensing data products may help reduce the models' dependency on climate datasets and improve the accuracy in the simulated CO2 fluxes.
Multi-variate factorisation of numerical simulations

Published: June 2020

Abstract. Factorisation is widely used in the analysis of numerical simulations. It allows changes in properties of a system to be attributed to changes in multiple variables associated with that system. There are many possible factorisation methods; here we discuss three previously-proposed factorisations that have been applied in the field of climate modelling: the linear factorisation, the Stein and Alpert (1993) factorisation, and the Lunt et al (2012) factorisation. We show that, when more than two variables are being considered, none of these three methods possess all three properties of uniqueness, symmetry, and completeness. Here, we extend each of these factorisations so that they do possess these properties for any number of variables, resulting in three factorisations – the linear-sum factorisation, the shared-interaction factorisation, and the scaled-total factorisation. We show that the linear-sum factorisation and the shared-interaction factorisation reduce to be identical. We present the results of the factorisations in the context of studies that used the previously-proposed factorisations. This reveals that only the linear-sum/shared-interaction factorisation possesses a fourth property – boundedness, and as such we recommend the use of this factorisation in applications for which these properties are desirable.

Abstract. The rapid increase in energy demand in the city of Reykjavik has posed the need for an additional supply of deep geothermal energy. The deep-hydraulic (re-)stimulation of well RV-43 on the peninsula of Geldinganes (north of Reykjavik) is an essential component of the plan implemented by Reykjavik Energy to meet this energy target. Hydraulic stimulation is often associated with fluid-induced seismicity, most of which is not felt on the surface but which, in rare cases, can be a nuisance to the population and even damage the nearby building stock. This study presents a first-of-its-kind pre-drilling probabilistic induced seismic hazard and risk analysis for the site of interest. Specifically, we provide probabilistic estimates of peak ground acceleration, European microseismicity intensity, probability of light damage (damage risk), and individual risk. The results of the risk assessment indicate that the individual risk within a radius of 2 km around the injection point is below 0.1 micromorts, and damage risk is below 10−2, for the total duration of the project. However, these results are affected by several orders of magnitude of variability due to the deep uncertainties present at all levels of the analysis, indicating a critical need in updating this risk assessment with in situ data collected during the stimulation. Therefore, it is important to stress that this a priori study represents a baseline model and starting point to be updated and refined after the start of the project.
El Códice de Madrid (E-Mn 20486) y su repertorio de polifonía medieval: un estado de la cuestión
Authors: Sastre González Javier
Published: June 2020

El manuscrito de la Biblioteca Nacional de España con signatura Mss. 20486 (E-Mn 20486) es una de las cinco fuentes principales que contienen repertorio polifónico del Magnus Liber Organi de Notre Dame. Este códice, de origen y datación actualmente discutida, contiene una nutrida colecciónn de piezas cuyos géneros –organum, conductus y motete– se sitúan en los márgenes de la Escuela de Notre Dame, cuyo máximo esplendor tuvo lugar a mediados del siglo XIII en la catedral parisina. El interés de esta fuente reside, además, en la influencia del nuevo sistema rítmico-musical cultivado por parte de los compositores parisinos, dando lugar a una estrecha relación entre el canto y la palabra basada en el uso de pies métricos propios de la lírica clásica. Este artículo estudiará los elementos codicológicos e históricos de mayor importancia de E-Mn 20486, así como su contenido musical y su posible datación y procedencia.
More infantie a tergo corporis emendari: violencia y disciplina en los ámbitos escolares hispanos (siglos IV-XII)
Authors: Lorenzo-Rodríguez Abel
Published: June 2020

Este artículo parte de la consideración del ius puniendi aplicado de forma comparativa en las categorías de discípulo/escolar y siervo, tal y como aparece en el Liber Iudiciorum, VI, 5, 8, regulando el castigo para ambas categorías sociales, como forma de disciplina. La consideración de la infancia como una época irracional de la formación del individuo conlleva el derecho al castigo físico con la misma legitimidad que los propietarios a sus esclavos. A partir de esta idea motriz se establecerán las principales referencias sobre la evidencia del castigo físico escolar y doméstico infantil en el mundo hispano altomedieval desde el Peristefanon de Prudencio (s. IV) hasta los recuerdos de Ordoño de Celanova (s. XII).
Marsella frente a los “abominables catalanes”: una implementación urbana de la guerra de corso en el Mediterráneo (1380-1431)
Authors: Gouffran Laure-Hélène
Published: June 2020

Desde los años 1420, se desarrollan sustancialmente los armamentos corsarios marselleses en el Mediterráneo. Este fenómeno debe ponerse en relación con el trauma causado por el saqueo de Marsella en el mes de noviembre 1423 llevado a cabo por las tropas de Alfonso el Magnánimo. Este evento-catástrofe introduce la justificación necesaria para armar navíos contra los catalanes. Gracias a la documentación conservada en los archivos de Marsella y en los archivos de la Corona de Aragón, estudiaremos las fases, los retos y los actores del corso marsellés entre 1380 y 1431

Entertainment Education: el debate sobre cuestiones de interés público en los medios sociales dedicados a la ficción televisiva
Authors: Lacalle Charo , Sánchez Mariluz
Published: June 2020

Este artículo analiza los comentarios sobre temáticas de interés público, realizados por las espectadoras de la ficción televisiva española, en los foros y redes sociales dedicadas a los programas. Se parte de un concepto amplio de Entertaiment Education (EE) para definir los contenidos educativos de la ficción, con el objetivo de determinar el eco de las temáticas analizadas por las usuarias. El estudio revela que el formato, el género televisivo y la ambientación del programa determinan las intervenciones de la audiencia social y demuestra que los discursos digitales de las fans abren nuevos espacios de debate público. No se aprecian, en cambio, reivindicaciones relativas al género, a pesar de los mensajes contradictorios de la ficción al respecto.
Group Learning Through the Lens of Learner Autonomy
Authors: Ponton Michael K.
Published: June 2020

Learner autonomy describes the individual who exercises personal agency in his or her learning. Similar to an individual, groups—that is, collections of people with a defined purpose often represented by organizational subunits—also engage in intentional learning to support and improve existing processes or identify and pursue new opportunities. The purpose of this theoretical discussion is to characterize aspects of intentional group learning using the theoretical framework associated with learner autonomy. Applied to the group level, notions of agentic learning, modes through which agentic learning is exercised, and regulation will be discussed through this lens of autonomy. This discussion may prove useful in describing how organizational groups learn intentionally and in developing processes that improve such learning.

Con el propósito de evaluar el efecto de los usos de suelo; sistema de coberturas de suelo (SCS), agroforestal (SAF), tradicional (Tr) y bosque secundario (Bs) sobre la erosión hídrica y la restauración de las propiedades hidrofísicas; infiltración del agua en el suelo, contenidos de arcilla, materia orgánica, y porcentaje de humedad a capacidad de campo. Fue establecido un ensayo experimental de parcelas divididas en tres fincas localizadas la unidad hidrográfica Quebrada Arriba, Yalagüina-Madriz, Nicaragua. Los sistemas que presentan mayor cobertura superficial presentaron, menor tasa de erosión de 41.75 ton ha-1 en los SAF versus 123.08 ton ha-1 en los sistemas tradicionales. Y mayores contenidos de materia orgánica de 10% en el sistema ASA a 2.98 % en el tradicional. A nivel espacial los tratamientos que se ubicaron en la parte baja del relieve, presentaron mayores porcentajes de humedad retenida y materia orgánica (MOS) en comparación a los tratamientos ubicados en la parte alta. Finalmente, los altos contenidos de arcilla contribuyen al incremento de la capacidad de retener agua en el suelo de la microcuenca. Por tanto, es necesario promover tecnologías que brinden al suelo mayor cobertura para mejorar su calidad y reducir la tasa erosión hídrica.
Interculturalidad y Comunitarismo en la Educación Superior: la experiencia de Bluefields Indian & Caribbean University
Authors: Cassells Rene Alfonso , Parajón Ramón A.
Published: June 2020

La calidad de la educación superior siempre ha sido un tema polémico al momento de su discusión; si a esta realidad sumamos la integración de la interculturalidad y comunitarismo como elementos esenciales en la formación del nuevo profesional, la tradicional formación técnica trasciende hacia una visión holística. A partir de esta realidad nace lo que hoy conocemos como universidades comunitarias con enfoque intercultural. Nicaragua no es la excepción, dada la presencia de las universidades BICU y URACCAN, ambos casos interesantes de estudiar. Es a partir de esta experiencia que se ha elaborado este artículo de revisión en el cual se abordan los orígenes de este tipo de universidades, así como la base legal local, regional, nacional e internacional que sostienen la necesidad no solo de su creación sino de su consolidación y expansión. Con ello se posibilita la presentación de una conceptualización integradora y amplia de lo que es una Universidad Comunitaria e Intercultural que atiende las necesidades de formación técnica y profesional de sus estudiantes, docentes y población, sin obviar la calidad de la educación integradora de los saberes y conocimientos ancestrales de los pueblos históricamente marginados.

Authors: Hsiue Peter P. , Greig Danielle , Chen Clark J. , Patel Bobby , Trikha Rishi , Rowan Fiachra E. , Khoshbin Amir , Stavrakis Alexandra I.
Published: June 2020

Background:

Acute colonic pseudo-obstruction (Ogilvie syndrome [OS]) is a rare but devastating condition that can develop in orthopaedic patients postoperatively. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for developing OS after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and to compare the outcomes between patients who did and did not develop OS postoperatively.

Methods:

This was a retrospective review using the National Inpatient Sample, a national database incorporating inpatient hospitalization information. ICD-9 codes were used to identify patients who underwent primary and revision THA or TKA. Patients were separated based on the diagnosis of OS. Primary outcomes assessed included patient mortality, postoperative complications, length of stay, and cost during index hospitalization.

Results:

From 2001 to 2014, a total of 12,541,169 patients underwent primary and revision THA or TKA. Of those, 3,182 patients (0.03%) developed OS postoperatively. There was an increased incidence of OS in revision THA and TKA compared with primary THA and TKA. Fluid and electrolyte disorders were associated with the largest increased adjusted risk of OS. Patients with OS had an increased adjusted risk of overall postoperative complications and being discharged to skilled nursing facility. Patients with OS had an increased average length of stay and hospitalization cost compared with patients without OS.

Discussion:

Given our findings, the risk factors for the development of OS, including revision surgery, should be identified and minimized during the perioperative period to prevent the development of this morbid and potentially life-threatening complication.

Level of Evidence:

Graduate Students Academic Persistence: Academic and Social Integration Intertwined with Self-Directed Learning
Authors: Lew Moi Mooi , Nelson Regena F. , Shen Yuqian , Ong Yung Kiet
Published: June 2020

This study aimed to explore influential personal factors that could affect graduate students’ academic persistence. Data were collected with an online questionnaire and one-on-one interviews. The findings indicated that graduate students had integrated into the academic environment and established a positive relationship with advisors and program coordinators. Participants have limited social interactions with classmates. This factor decreased the importance of social integration on persistence. Data indicated that participants’ self-directed learning readiness was moderately high. This study suggests that these three personal factors are intertwined in influencing graduate students’ decision to persist in the academic programs.
Grafting New Values into Public Institutions by Reforming the Accounting System: Lessons Learned from the Italian Higher Education System
Authors: Modugno Guido , Di Carlo Ferdinando , Lucchese Manuela , Agasisti Tommaso
Published: June 2020

The paper wants to highlight some accounting practices in the early stage of the adoption of accrual accounting in Higher Education Institutions. The accounting reform was one of the core aspects of a process of enforced hybridization of HE institutions. Exogenous and endogenous (organizational) issues emerge, that undermine transparency and comparability of accounting information. Based on structured interviews in 14 Italian universities, the paper provides evidences of the main aspects that hinder the transparency and the comparability of accounting information with the risk to deprive the new accounting rules of their potential for change. Resistance to change could be observed, resulting in a partial or distorted adoption of the new accounting rules: some practices, in particular, aimed at safeguarding the interests of a particular group. The paper propitiates further research based on case studies aiming at understanding how public organizations tend to design internal accounting procedures that preserve the prerogatives of particular groups within the organization. The research overturns the rhetoric of the adoption of managerial practices for the enhancement of efficiency, effectiveness and economy by showing how organizations shape these practices in order to keep the status quo unchanged.

Published: June 2020

O artigo é decorrente de uma pesquisa que, a partir das contribuições dos estudos foucaultianos sobre governamentalidade, problematiza o processo de invenção do atleta amador de corrida. Toma-se como materialidade investigativa o site Eu Atleta, enquanto artefato difusor de uma pedagogia cultural, pautada em uma racionalidade neoliberal implicada no governamentodos indivíduos. Metodologicamente, a discussão centra-se na análise da racionalidade que fundamenta a existência do site e das tecnologias operadas por ele.

Authors: Gajewski Mariusz
Published: June 2020

The article addresses the issue of single motherhood for women in individual, social and pedagogical aspects. The personality and social conditions of single motherhood were analysed. Two main contexts of experiencing motherhood by contemporary women were pointed out, which are social norms and cultural patterns as well as individual, intrapsychic conditions of perceiving oneself as a mother. Social references and pedagogical conditions of single motherhood were shown. It was pointed out that the way women experience motherhood depends to a large extent on family, professional, colleague situations and random events. While discussing the issues of loneliness and solitude, the pedagogical aspect of this phenomenon and the multitude of possible attitudes and references to motherhood experienced were pointed out. The article indicates that social expectations for single mothers imply how women perceive their motherhood and how it affects the pedagogical dimension of its implementation. Motherhood as a conscious decision of a woman and as an undesirable state, as a consequence of events over which the woman-mother has no influence – these are other versions of motherhood described and analysed in the article. The article ends with considerations on the pedagogical dimension of the implementation of motherhood, and therefore on the role and place of children and family as the closest environment of women-mothers. The final part also indicates the need for institutional support for single mothers and their families.
Verzauberte Moderne
Authors: Oldenstein Sophie
Published: June 2020

„A magician isn’t a juggler, but an actor playing the part of a magician,“ said Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, founder of the first magic theater in Paris. In the transition to modernity, stage magic was a catalyst and battlefield of the conflict between the development of bourgeois culture and the rationalization process in the course of scientific progress on the one hand and the desire for myth, exoticism and spectacle on the other hand. Although it is highly theatrical, stage magic is a marginalized form of art. Sophie Oldenstein examines stage magic in the 19th and early 20th centuries from the perspective of theatre studies. Among other things, she analyzes the scenic practice and trick technique of stage magicians and contextualizes them with the societal, cultural, social und scientific discourses of the period of investigation.
Ethische Perspektiven der Inklusion
Authors: Mierzwa Roland
Published: June 2020

This study intimately examines the ethical aspects of inclusivity in order to help committed Christian volunteers charged with supervising its implementation by offering a theological perspective on this matter. The book explicitly identifies empathy as the basis of substantial ethical efforts to achieve inclusivity. Through its comprehensive overview of attempts to implement inclusivity in various subsystems, some of which have been tested in the field or are based on experience, the study reveals the consequences of an ethically oriented form of inclusivity in practice. Its concluding chapter interlinks the focus on inclusivity with the ‘preferential option for poor people’ and the ‘option for those that are excluded’, which can pose a challenge to churches and Christian communities.

The monograph presents and reflects the results of a specific research project of the same name (MUNI/A/1423/2018) carried out by a team of academic staff and students of the doctoral program of the Department of Music at the Faculty of Education, Masaryk University. The folklore song scope represents an important didactic basis, permeates music education at elementary, partly also secondary schools and specialized instrumental or singing education at elementary art schools. Due to the influence of multilayered cultural expressions and the influence of multimedia means, however, the question of how to present the musical and folklore heritage to school youth is more prominent. The object of investigation was the application of folk music to school education.

O cultivo de plantas medicinais exige cuidado na aplicação de agroquímicos a fim de evitar a alteração da composição de seus princípios ativos. Os insumos biológicos são mais recomendáveis para esse propósito. Foi testado o efeito de Trichoderma spp. e vermicomposto em mudas de Bauhinia forficata Link., uma das espécies florestais mais exploradas para fins medicinais, a partir de dois ensaios instalados em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 40 repetições, em casa de vegetação. Testamos duas estirpes de Trichoderma asperelloides (T1 e T2) e duas estirpes de Trichoderma harzianum (T13 e T33) inoculadas em substrato e um tratamento controle (substrato sem inoculação). O ensaio com vermicomposto testou as proporções de 0, 20, 40, 50, 60 e 80 % de vermicomposto (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 e T6 respectivamente). As variáveis altura, diâmetro do coleto, teor de clorofila e número de folhas foram avaliadas aos 45, 90 e 135 dias após a semeadura. Analisamos também a sobrevivência, área foliar, biomassa seca total, da parte aérea e raízes e Índice de Qualidade de Dickson das mudas aos 135 dias após a semeadura. A área foliar foi submetida ao teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). Outras variáveis não apresentaram normalidade e homogeneidade de variâncias e foram comparadas por Kruskal-Wallis (α = 0,05). Os insumos biológicos influenciaram positivamente no crescimento inicial de Bauhinia forficata. A altura, o diâmetro do coleto, a área foliar e a biomassa seca (total, aérea e radicular) foram superiores em relação aos tratamentos controle, para ambos os ensaios. Dentre as estirpes de Trichoderma spp., T13 apresentou melhores resultados para o crescimento das mudas em relação à T33. Mudas produzidas com proporções maiores de vermicomposto (50, 60 e 80 %) apresentaram desenvolvimento estatisticamente superior em altura e diâmetro do coleto, a partir dos 90 dias após semeadura, quando comparado ao tratamento controle. No entanto, não houve um padrão claro de diferenças entre as outras doses testadas, exigindo mais testes de dosagem. Trichoderma spp. e vermicomposto mostraram-se promissores para produção de Bauhinia forficata para fins medicinais.
Criticism as culture: Above the first History of Serbian Literature Pavel Josef Safarik
Authors: Mumović Ana
Published: June 2020

The first History of Serbian Literature (1865) was written from the PEN of P. J. Safarik (1796-1861), a foreigner, who lived and worked in Novi Sad and did not write in Serbian. The final form was given by Safarik's son-in-law, who made some changes. The first edition was printed in 1826. The monograph includes a review of 289 writers. In addition to Serbian, he also deals writers who have written in foreign languages. The book contain a list of printers, patrons, scribes, a Cyrillic print of Catholic Serbs and a Cyrillic print of Protestants. He deals with works in the field of language science, rhetoric and poetry, philosophy, history and geography, pedagogy and mathematics, science of nature and technology, medicine, law and politics, including works in the field of theology. It is, therefore, a project that, through its critique of literature, actually illuminates the history of the culture of the Serbian people. Methodologically History is realized as it is done by contemporary historians of literature. Safarik's critical method, is proof that literary criticism always has a social function, if it is scientifically based and objective.
Mandibular asimetri ve asemptomatik denekler arasındaki temporomandibular eklemde biyomekanik karşılaştırmanın modifiye sonlu elemanlar modellerini kullanarak yapılması
Authors: KAYABAŞI Oğuz
Published: June 2020

Mandibular
asimetri ve asemptomatik denekleri olan hastalar arasındaki temporomandibular
eklemlerdeki (TME) gerilme dağılımlarının farklılıkları, modifiye üç boyutlu
(3D) sonlu elemanlar (SE) modelleri kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı. On
asemptomatik denek ve on mandibular asimetrik hasta sırasıyla Kontrol ve Vaka
grubunu oluştulmuştur. Homojen olmayan malzeme özellikleri, bilgisayarlı
tomografiye (CBCT) göre yeniden yapılandırılan mandibula ve maksilla SE
modellerinde kullanılmıştır. Etkileşim yüzeyleri temas elemanları olarak işlem
görmüştür. Kuvvetler ve sınır şartları, iki tıkanmaya karşılık gelen iki gruba
uygulanmıştır. Simülasyon, olgu grubundaki merkezi ve ön oklüzyonlar altında
TME'lerin gerilmesindeki sapma olmayan ve sapma tarafları arasındaki anlamlı
farkları ortaya koymuştur (p <0.05). Vaka grubundaki von Mises gerilmeleri,
özellikle sapmamış taraftaki Kontrol grubundakilerden anlamlı derecede daha
yüksek oluştu. Hastaların TME'sinde anormal dağılımlar ve stres konsantrasyonu
da bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, modifiye SE modelleri, maksillofasiyal sistemi
simüle etmek için daha gerçekçi bir yol sağlamıştır. Ayrıca, mandibular
asimetri, TME'nin gerilmesini artırabilir. Mandibular asimetrisi olan
hastalarda TME'nin aşırı gerilmeleri temporomandibular bozukluklarla (TMD)
ilişkiliydi.

Bu çalışmada, endüstriyel mutfak ürünlerinin plastik esaslı kompozit parçalarının montajında kullanılan, DIN 7981 standartlarındaki sac vidası yerine plastik vidası kullanılmasının malzeme ömrü üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için, beyaz eşya sektöründe kullanılan plastik esaslı PC+ABS V0 hammaddeye sahip kompozit ürün numuneleri alınmıştır. Bu numuneler ile gerçekleştirilecek deneyler için, iki farklı vida türü (plastik S1, saç P2), üç farklı sıkma torku (0.5, 0.7 ve 0.9 Nm) ve üç farklı vida çeşidi (V1:2.9x13 YSB,V2: 2.9x9.5 YSB, V3: 3.5x9.5 YSB) temin edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışmada, farklı vida türü ile gerçekleştirilen deney sonuçları incelendiğinde, en iyi ömür sonucunu 0.5 sıkma torkunda V3 kodlu plastik vida çeşidi, en kötü ömür sonucunu ise 0.7 ve 0.9 sıkma torkunda V1 kodlu saç vida çeşidinin verdiği belirlenmiştir. Taguchi metodu ile gerçekleştirilen analiz sonrasında sinyal gürültü oranları incelendiğinde en ideal ömürde kullanılacak parametrenin vida türü için Seviye 2, sıkma torku için Seviye 1 ve vida çeşidi için Seviye 3 olarak belirlenmiştir. Anova sonuçları incelendiğinde, vida ömründe en etkili parametrenin % 37.66 ile vida çeşidi, ikinci etkili parametrenin %28.11 ile vida türü ve en düşük etkinin ise %20.01 ile vida türü olarak oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir.
