Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) Production as Influenced by Various Row and Hill Spacings
Authors: Ramos Reybhoy A.
Published: September 2020

The study was conducted to determine the yield of peanut as affected by different row and hill spacings. The experiment was done under the soil and climatic requirements of Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines with an average temperature of 27.3 0C. The experiment was laid using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with sixteen combined treatments. An area of 80 square meters was divided into 16 plots, each plots measured 1m by 5m excluding canals. There were two factors used in the study, the different rows and hill spacings. The row spacing used were R1 (12 inches), R2 (16 inches), R3 (20 inches), R4 (24 inches) and the hill spacing used were H1 (6 inches), H2 (7 inches), H3 (8 inches), H4 (9 inches). Complete fertilizer was drilled at the base of the plant 30 days after planting at the rate of 1.83 grams per hill. Tobacco spray was applied twice, first at 15 DAP and second at 50 DAP and kakawate spray was applied 43 days from planting to prevent and repel insect pest. Result revealed that the average number of pods per plant per plot, average weight of pods in gram per plant per plot, total number of pods per plot, and total weight of pods in kilogram per plot had no significant difference as affected by different row and hill spacings. However, the result on the average number of seeds per plant per plot showed that there is a significant difference among treatments. Statistical analysis revealed that the computed “f1” is greater than the tabulated “f1” at 5% level of significance.

Prediction of Adverse Obstetric Outcomes by First Trimester Screening with Free β-hCG and PAPP-A: A Prospective Study of 889 Singleton Pregnancies
Authors: YILDIZ Şule , SERT Ümit Yasemin , BİLİR Esra , TÜRKGELDİ Engin , NAS Tuncay
Published: September 2020

Aim: We aimed to analyze the association of first-trimester screening biomarkers (PAPP-A and free β-hCG) that correspond specific percentile with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm labor, preterm delivery, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, low birth weight (LBW), small for gestational age (SGA), large for gestational age (LGA), intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), macrosomia, and intrauterine exitus (IUEX).

Materials and Method: This prospective study conducted between 1st May 2011 and 1st May 2012 at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine, Turkey. We recruited only singleton pregnancies. The first-trimester screening test was performed between 11-14 weeks of gestation.

Results: Eight hundred eighty-nine of them met the inclusion criteria for our study. The median age was 29 (26-33) years. Median free β-hCG MoM and PAPP-A MoM were 1.0 (0.7 - 1.48) and 1.04 (0.73 - 1.46), respectively. The most common adverse obstetric outcomes were preterm labor 164 (18.4%), threatened abortion 95 (10.7%), and GDM 75 (8.4%). There was a linear trend with PAPP-A MoM and SGA, LBW, preterm delivery (p=<0.0000001, 0.033, and 0.03, respectively). When PAPP-A MoM results were categorized under three groups as ≤0.42 (5th percentile), >2.5 (95th percentile), and 0.73-1.47 (25th -75th), a significant difference between there groups were detected for SGA (<0.0000001), LBW (0.01), IUEX (0.00005), preterm labor (0.002), IUGR (0.006). Only preterm labor showed a significant linear trend for β-hCG MoM values (p =0.007). However, this significance was not detected when β-hCG MoM values were categorized as ≤0.40 (5th percentile), >2.9 (95th percentile), and 0.75-1.49 (25th -75th) (p=0.47). The correlation coefficient of birth weight and PAPP-A MoM was 0.133, which is negligible (p=0.0001).

Conclusion: Our study suggested the possibility of predicting the women with the risk of adverse obstetric outcomes by using first-trimester screening biomarkers, namely maternal free β-hCG, and PAPP-A levels.
ASPECTS OF COMPLEXITY OF METAL-FIBROUS MICROSTRUCTURE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE HEAT EXCHANGERS: THERMAL PROPERTIES
Authors: Orman Łukasz J.
Published: September 2020

The paper considers the application of metal – fibrous microstructures in the development of highly efficient heat exchangers. Such structures can be successfully used in air conditioning systems of modern planes or in heat pipes located in planes and spacecraft. Copper fibers of 50 mm diameter have been used to produce coatings of different volumetric porosity. The sintering process was used to produce the samples. Pool boiling heat transfer tests have been performed on the non – isothermal surfaces of the fin with distilled water and ethyl alcohol (99.8% purity) as boiling agents. A significant enhancement of heat transfer has been recorded with the use of the metal – fibrous microstructures in comparison to the smooth surface without any coating. The enhancement proved to vary considerably depending on the superheat value.
WILL THE WINNER STILL BE THE WINNER? A STUDY OF EQUITY MUTUAL FUND PERFORMANCE IN INDONESIA
Authors: Frensidy Budi , Nainggolan Reynardo , Robiyanto Robiyanto
Published: September 2020

In this study, we explore the consistency of Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) – denominated equity mutual funds offered in Indonesia
from 2007 to 2017 from various holding periods, namely one year, three years, and five years. Two questions are addressed. Will the winning mutual
funds be the winner in the following period? Is the performance of a longer period more persistent than that of the shorter period? Using the nominal
return from these eleven years, we find that the equity mutual funds in Indonesia earn no stable performance. The winner will not always be the winner
in the following observed period. In addition, no evidence is found that long-term performance would result in a better persistence than that of
the shorter time frame.

In this work we empirically measure the detection efficiency of the Kepler pipeline used to create the final Kepler threshold crossing event and planet candidate catalogs, a necessary ingredient for occurrence-rate calculations using these lists. By injecting simulated signals into the calibrated pixel data and processing those pixels through the pipeline as normal, we quantify the detection probability of signals as a function of their signal strength and orbital period. In addition, we investigate the dependence of the detection efficiency on parameters of the target stars and their location in the Kepler field of view. We find that the end-of-mission version of the Kepler pipeline returns to a high overall detection efficiency, averaging a 90%–95% rate of detection for strong signals across a wide swathe variety of parameter space. We find a weak dependence of the detection efficiency on the number of transits contributing to the signal and the orbital period of the signal, and a stronger dependence on the stellar effective temperature and correlated noise properties. We also find a weak dependence of the detection efficiency on the position within the field of view. By restricting the Kepler stellar sample to stars with well-behaved correlated noise properties, we can define a set of stars with high detection efficiency for future occurrence-rate calculations.
ALMA High-frequency Long-baseline Campaign in 2017: A Comparison of the Band-to-band and In-band Phase Calibration Techniques and Phase-calibrator Separation Angles

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) obtains spatial resolutions of 15 to 5 mas at 275–950 GHz (0.87–0.32 mm) with 16 km baselines. Calibration at higher frequencies is challenging as ALMA sensitivity and quasar density decrease. The band-to-band (B2B) technique observes a detectable quasar at a lower frequency that is closer to the target, compared to one at the target high frequency. Calibration involves a nearly constant instrumental phase offset between the frequencies and the conversion of the temporal phases to the target frequency. The instrumental offsets are solved with a differential gain calibration (DGC) sequence, consisting of alternating low- and high-frequency scans of strong quasars. Here we compare B2B and in-band phase referencing for high frequencies (>289 GHz) using 2–15 km baselines and calibrator separation angles between ∼0.°68 and ∼11.°65. The analysis shows the following: (1) DGC for B2B produces a coherence loss <7% for DGC phase rms residuals <30°. (2) B2B images using close calibrators (<1.°67) are superior to in-band images using distant ones (>2.°42). (3) For more distant calibrators, B2B is preferred if it provides a calibrator ∼2° closer than the best in-band calibrator. (4) Decreasing image coherence and poorer image quality occur with increasing phase-calibrator separation angle because of uncertainties in the antenna positions and suboptimal phase referencing. (5) To achieve >70% coherence for long-baseline (16 km) band 7 (289 GHz) observations, calibrators should be within ∼4° of the target.
Electron Heating in Perpendicular Low-beta Shocks

Collisionless shocks heat electrons in the solar wind, interstellar blast waves, and hot gas permeating galaxy clusters.

Published: September 2020

Aberrant colored plumages in birds are not uncommon events in nature. These cases might be associated with genetic, environmental and nutritional factors, the presence of parasites, or even age. This study had the objective of reporting two new aberrant plumage cases inVanellus chilensisindividuals, an individual with progressive greying and a melanistic one, and review information available at the “Birds of Brazil Encyclopedia” (WikiAves). The study also presents a case review of published cases in indexed journals aboutV. chilensisaberrant coloring published in indexed journals. In total, 24 cases ofV. chilensisindividuals with aberrant plumage are known. For some cases following current specialized literature, we only suggest changes to progressive graying and brown. Finally, we encourage researchers to publish their records of birds with aberrant plumage in scientific journals.

Published: September 2020

The paper presents the results of the studies to justify the design solutions for the main circulation pumps of the heavy liquid-metal cooled reactor plant circuits. A substantial difference has been shown in the performance of pumps for the heavy liquid-metal coolant transfer. The studies have confirmed the qualitative difference in the cavitation performance of coolants, the state of the gases and vapors they contain, the influence of supply and discharge devices, and the effects of the impeller blade section performance and geometry and the hub-tip ratio on the pump performance. The studies were performed based on NNSTU’s lead-cooled test facilities with the coolant temperature in a range of 440 to 550 °C and the coolant flow rate of up to 2000 t/h. The outer diameter of the impellers and the straightening devices was about 200 mm, and the thickness of the flat 08Kh18N10T-steel blades was 4.0 mm and that of the airfoil blades was up to 6.0 mm. The pump shaft speed changed in a stepped manner from 600 rpm to 1100 rpm after each 100 rpm.

The studies were conducted to justify the engineering and design solutions for pumps as applied to conditions of small and medium plants with fast neutron lead cooled reactors currently under investigation at NNSTU (BRS-GPG). The experimental results can be recommended for use to design other HLMC transfer pumps.
1944, bataille du Belvédère : un échec victorieux

Published: September 2020

Du 25 janvier au 2 février 1944, les armées alliées mènent des combats sanglants afin de conquérir les hauteurs du Belvédère, qui tiennent la route qui conduit à Rome. C’est l’occasion pour l’armée française, défaite en juin 1940, de changer la perception qu’ont d’elle les Alliés, à l’heure où un pouvoir politique français se met en place à Alger et cherche à peser sur la scène internationale. Cette bataille aurait pu être un échec retentissant. Pourquoi cela n’a-t-il pas été le cas ?

Pour les armées françaises, la guerre d’Indochine est marquée par deux défaites majeures : Cao Bang en 1950 et Diên Biên Phu en 1954. Toutes deux ont fait l’objet de commissions d’enquête chargées d’établir les causes et les responsabilités du désastre qu’elles ont provoqué. Leurs avis ne seront cependant aucunement suivis d’effets.
S’obstiner dans l’échec. L’exemple de l’affaire Dreyfus
Authors: Vigouroux Christian
Published: September 2020

L’obstination a du bon quand elle est persévérance, ténacité ; elle est dangereuse quand elle est acharnement ou entêtement. Face à la fausse culpabilité de l’officier Dreyfus, une large part de la nation a choisi le péril de la seconde voie. La haute armée et ses soutiens se sont enfermés dans un entêtement frôlant l’obsession, dont les ingrédients se sont ajoutés de manière à multiplier le péril. Quatre échecs vont perdre les pourfendeurs d’Alfred Dreyfus : la prétérition, la répétition, la claustration jusqu’à la perdition.
Échec scolaire. Une approche psychologique
Authors: Dardenne Gilles
Published: September 2020

La réflexion sur le problème de l’échec à l’école a régulièrement évolué au cours des quatre dernières décennies, mais se trouve malheureusement toujours d’actualité. En s’appuyant essentiellement sur certaines théories psychanalytiques, l’objet de cet article est de s’intéresser au regard que porte un psychologue de l’éducation sur l’origine possible de l’échec, en particulier dans sa dimension systémique résultant de la relation enseignant, enfant, famille. En offrant un espace de parole au sein de l’école, le psychologue peut contribuer à la réduction de l’échec par l’instigation de changements.
Projet et perception de l’échec
Authors: Ducourneau Axel
Published: September 2020

Cet article aborde la question de la configuration sociotechnique des projets de développement et de l’importance de son analyse dans les modalités de succès ou d’échec de ces projets en contexte multiculturel. Le propos est élargi à l’ensemble du spectre des opérations d’influence, dont les opérations civilo-militaires, qui demandent toutes une grande capacité de gestion de l’incertitude. En définitive, on perçoit que l’échec ou le succès de projets complexes à destination de populations identifiées comme objectifs stratégiques résultent d’un même processus de constitution de réseaux, où facteurs humains et outils techniques interagissent de manière plus ou moins coordonnée sur le terrain, indépendamment, pour partie, des choix initiaux qui ont pu être faits au niveau institutionnel. En définitive, nous essayons de montrer que la reconnaissance de ces réseaux sociotechniques, inclus dans un système d’action, peut avoir une valeur en termes d’aide à la décision.
Comprendre les terrorismes. Sommes-nous voués à l’échec ?
Authors: Brunet Benjamin
Published: September 2020

Sans nier le lien djihad-islam, cet article propose d’aborder le phénomène djihadiste à l’aune de l’action révolutionnaire violente telle qu’elle est apparue en Europe occidentale durant les années de plomb. Des similitudes apparaissent entre ces terroristes que pourtant tout oppose, si bien que le djihad et le califat semblent avoir pris la suite de l’espérance révolutionnaire déchue, en démultipliant d’ailleurs les effets. Ainsi, en partant de ces analogies, il est possible d’en dégager des enseignements concrets dans le combat que la France mène aujourd’hui à l’étranger ou sur son propre territoire.
Les défaites comme autant de victoires
Authors: Nasr Wassim
Published: September 2020

Nombreux sont ceux qui ont découvert le djihad mondial à travers les attentats du 11 septembre aux États-Unis ou de la déclaration du califat à l’été 2014. De brefs moments d’« éclats ». Pourtant, la mouvance djihadiste est vieille d’un demi-siècle. Elle est née d’une défaite, et son histoire est jalonnée de défaites et rarement de victoires. Au cœur de cette mouvance se développent une culture, une littérature et une propagande au service d’un récit qui transforme les défaites en victoires, d’abord de l’individu puis du groupe sur « les sentiers d’Allah ».

Après avoir apporté des clarifications sur les notions d’échec et de défaite, l’article envisage les situations qu’elles désignent au travers de trois problèmes : la part de la complexité du réel dans les difficultés à réagir à un insuccès ; les effets de la pluralité des systèmes de valeur sur leur relativisation ou leur requalification ; les ruses et dénis permettant de les rendre supportables – une des stratégies les plus fréquentes consistant à traiter les échecs comme des défaites dues aux intentions malveillantes d’un adversaire.
Cingria poète ?
Authors: Raboud Thierry
Published: September 2020

L’œuvre de Charles-Albert Cingria, qui associe érudition et humeur vagabonde, ne cesse d’invoquer et de redéfinir la poésie, mais ne recèle que quelques vers de circonstance. Relisons-les avant d’explorer les définitions que ce « prosateur lyrique » essaime librement au gré de ses enthousiasmes, de ses partis pris esthétiques et de ses investigations musicologiques. Au fil de l’œuvre, c’est une singulière vision qui apparaît où le poème doit rimer et résonner en souvenir de ses origines vocales. La poésie s’y compose à partir de « l’alphabet vociférant du réel », compris comme une matière à moduler.
« Le coq n’est tout-puissant que sur son fumier ». « Faire rire » et stéréotypes gaulois à Rome (République-Empire)
Authors: Montlahuc Pascal
Published: September 2020

Considérer le rôle de l’humour dans l’établissement d’une opposition culturelle entre Romains et Barbares éclaire certaines des plaisanteries contre l’inclusion politique des Gaulois qui circulèrent dans la Rome républicaine et impériale. Les mécanismes de ce rejet se précisent encore lorsqu’on analyse l’usage de stéréotypes anti-gaulois afin de faire rire un auditoire ou un lectorat romain. Cet article rappelle ainsi que le « pouvoir des bons mots » contribua à lisser, voire à fausser, les réalités historiques de la présence politique et sociale des Gaulois à Rome.
Naissance et affirmation d’un mythe scolaire : « Nos ancêtres les Gaulois », de l’Époque romantique à 1944
Authors: Amalvi Christian
Published: September 2020

Le mythe de « Nos ancêtres les Gaulois » est une invention récente. Dans la culture classique française, longtemps dominée par la civilisation latine, les Gaulois étaient des inconnus. Leur apparition dans la seconde moitié du xix e  siècle est la conséquence de deux phénomènes distincts: le romantisme, qui redécouvre les racines nationales, et les luttes politiques contemporaines. Sous la Troisième République, la gauche se proclame héritière du peuple gaulois et de Vercingétorix contre la droite catholique, qui célèbre les Francs de Clovis, premier roi baptisé. Depuis 1959, le succès des aventures d’Astérix et d’Obélix a rendu les Gaulois familiers aux Français.
Blow-up results for effectively damped wave models with nonlinear memory
Authors: Kaddour Tayeb Hadj , Reissig Michael
Published: September 2020

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a special family of effectively damped wave models with nonlinear memory on the right-hand side. Our goal is to prove blow-up results for local (in time) Sobolev solutions. Due to the effective dissipation the model is parabolic like from the point of view of energy decay estimates of the corresponding linear Cauchy problem with vanishing right-hand side. For this reason we apply the test function method for proving our results.

Local well-posedness and wave breaking of solutions to the Cauchy problem of a resulting system from the classification are studied. First, we carry out the classification of the general two-component Novikov-type system based on the existence of two peaked solutions and \begin{document}$ H^1 $\end{document}-conservation law. The resulting systems contain the two-component integrable Novikov-type systems. Next, we discuss the local well-posedness of Cauchy problem to the resulting systems in Sobolev spaces \begin{document}$ H^s({\mathbb R}) $\end{document} with \begin{document}$ s>3/2 $\end{document}, the approach is based on the new invariant properties, certain estimates for transport equations of the system. In addition, blow up and wave-breaking to the Cauchy problem of a system are studied.
Listanje Sarajevskih zvezkov v spominskem zrcalu
Authors: Novak Boris A.
Published: September 2020

Članek je posvečen zgodovini Sarajevskih zvezkov, pogumnega, umetniško in intelektualno ambicioznega projekta ponovne graditve komunikacijskih mostov med pisatelji različnih narodov nekdanje Jugoslavije, ki so se po tragičnih vojnah znašli ločeni z visokimi mejami novonastalih držav. Avtor, slovenski pesnik, prevajalec in profesor primerjalne književnosti, je bil eden izmed ustanovnih članov uredništva te publikacije. Ustanovitelji Sarajevskih zvezkov, ki sodijo med najboljše pisatelje in intelektualce svojih jezikov in kultur, niso imeli nikakršnega namena oživljati propadlo Jugoslavijo ali pa ustanoviti novo, tretjo Jugoslavijo (po kraljevini in socialistični federativni republiki). Njihova ambicija je bila v političnem smislu neprimerno skromnejša, v umetniškem, intelektualnem in etičnem smislu pa kar najvišja – literarno artikulirati stanje sveta ter eksistencialno počutje posameznika po koncu velikih utopičnih zgodb, razpadu jugoslovanskega projekta »bratstva in enotnosti« ter padcu socializma, velikega političnega projekta 20. stoletja, ki je najprej ideološko skrepenel v totalitaristično strahovlado, spričo spodletele demokratizacije pa se je v obdobju jugoslovanskih vojn še zadnjič vrnil kot vampir krvoločnega nacionalizma.
Dialoškost v sodobni slovenski poeziji: vpeljava persone kot vidik zunanje dialoškosti
Authors: Balžalorsky Antić Varja
Published: September 2020

Članek je uvod v širše zasnovano raziskavo o artikulaciji in konfiguraciji subjektov v najsodobnejši slovenski poeziji. Po kratkem povzetku vrst dialoškosti pri Bahtinu in sklepih iz ponovnega branja Bahtinovih tez o monološkosti poezije sledi predstavitev njegove tipologije dialoških odnosov v prozi z vidika prenovljenega pojma lirskega subjekta. Drugi del periodizira krepitev dialoškosti v sodobni slovenski poeziji pri avtoricah in avtorjih različnih generacij. Razlika je med dialoškimi strategijami v strukturaciji pesemskega diskurza in subjekta oziroma subjektov na različnih pesemskih ravneh (tj. govorne strategije in pozicioniranja izjavnih subjektov) in, na drugi strani, uprizarjanjem razpada trdnih pojmovanj (filozofske kategorije) subjekta ali (sociološke kategorije) individuuma znotraj monoloških pesniških postopkov. Z vidika pesniških strategij in vidika rekonceptualiziranega lirskega subjekta se novejši pojavi dialoškosti na ravni pesmi v večji meri pogosto vgrajujejo v navidezni monološki model subjektne konfiguracije: mnoštvenost pesemskega subjekta se uveljavlja predvsem na ravni sistema pesniške knjige, manj pa na ravni mikrosistema pesmi ali celo same izjave. Zato je mogoče govoriti o močnem toku zunanje dialoškosti. Sklepna analiza petih zbirk predstavi pojav, ki bi ga glede na Bahtinovo tipologijo lahko uvrstili v zunanji tip dvoglasne besede: vpeljavo pesmi s persono oziroma pesemskih knjig s persono (Oblak in gora Iva Svetine, Opus quinque dierum Taje Kramberger, Izganjalci smisla Milana Dekleve, Trpljenje mlade Hane Katje Gorečan, Hemingwayeve ustnice Krištofa Dovjaka).
Teoretska opredelitev in vloga dramatike v jezuitskem redovnem ustroju
Authors: Deželak Trojar Monika
Published: September 2020

Članek obravnava pojav jezuitske dramatike, ki zajema vso dramsko dejavnost jezuitov znotraj njihovih kolegijev, tako adaptacije starejših (antičnih in humanističnih) dramskih besedil kot tudi njihove avtorske drame, tako šolske kot verske predstave ne glede na mesto uprizoritve (avditorij, učilnica, šolska avla, cerkev, šolsko dvorišče, ulica itd.). V prvem delu se osredotoča na opredelitev jezuitske dramatike, kot jo je mogoče razbrati iz temeljnih dokumentov jezuitskega reda: Ustanovnih listin Družbe Jezusove, Konstitucij Družbe Jezusove, Načrta in ureditve študija Družbe Jezusove in Pravil Družbe Jezusove. V nadaljevanju predstavi glavne teoretike dramatike iz jezuitskih vrst od začetkov do razpustitve reda (Jakob Pontanus, Martin Delrio, Antonio Possevino, Alessandro Donati, Jakob Masen, Athanasius Kircher, Nicolaus Avancini, Claude-François Menestrier, Franz Lang in Franz Neumayr), njihovo načelno izhodišče v antični teoriji drame in naslonitev na humanistično šolsko ter srednjeveško duhovno dramo. Prikaže prilagoditev omenjenih modelov jezuitskim vzgojnim, didaktičnim in katehetičnim potrebam ter duhu časa, v katerem je jezuitska drama nastala in se razvijala. Opozori na glavno posebnost jezuitske dramatike, željo po vplivanju na čute gledalcev, ki se kaže v njihovi naklonjenosti avdiovizualnim učinkom, emblemom, simbolom, personifikacijam in alegorijam. Ob tem prispevek poudari, da je duhovni temelj takšnega dojemanja dramatike treba iskati v Duhovnih vajah ustanovitelja reda, sv. Ignacija Lojolskega. V njih je kot glavna cilja jezuitskega reda izpostavil odvračanje ljudi od greha in spodbujanje h kreposti.
Preoblikovanje identitet v Temnih skrivnostih avstralske staroselske pesnice Jeanine Leane
Authors: Čerče Danica
Published: September 2020

Prispevek obravnava sodobno avstralsko staroselsko poezijo in še posebej pesniško zbirko Temne skrivnosti Jeanine Leane. Z razcvetom sredi osemdesetih let 20. stoletja je avstralska staroselska poezija postala pomemben medij za artikulacijo kritičnih misli staroselcev. Z edukativno in zdravilno vlogo, ki jo opravlja s poseganjem v navidezno neukinljiva binarna nasprotja avtoritativnega diskurza, predstavitvijo zamolčane avstralske zgodovine in zahtevo po spremembah, je ta poezija postala del produkcije, ki je bila do nedavnega v izključni domeni Evropejcev. Z izhodiščem v kritiški misli o pomembni družbeni vlogi književnih besedil in opirajoč se na kritiko koncepta evropocentrizma, pričujoči članek raziskuje, kako Leane s problematizacijo stereotipov kot glavne strategije kolonialnega diskurza intervenira v javno dinamiko rasne separacije in destabilizira domneve o legitimnosti reprodukcije kolonialnih razlik. Končna ugotovitev je, da njen pesniški svet opravlja osebno in kolektivno opolnomočenje avstralskih staroselcev in ustvarja pogoje za boljšo kvaliteto medrasnih odnosov.

Published: September 2020

En 2007, un bâtiment accolé au parement nord du pont-aqueduc a été mis au jour. Outre sa position singulière au sein de l’ensemble monumental de Cassinomagus, cet édifice a permis de réaliser une étude novatrice pour le site. En effet, bien que grandement arasé, celui-ci a livré les vestiges d’une peinture murale, restes composés de plaques de soubassement retrouvées in situ et d’enduits fragmentaires. Les plaques du soubassement encore en place contre les murs présentent des motifs végétaux, tandis que les fragments épars révèlent quelques éléments peu distincts à rattacher à la zone médiane et un décor à réseau, attribué au plafond.
Le bon génie de la genèse
Authors: Biasi Pierre-Marc de
Published: September 2020

Aragon a accompagné la « génétique littéraire » dans son projet de valoriser les manuscrits de travail des écrivains, peu étudiés jusque-là. Faisant de ses archives l’enjeu d’une négociation, il a aidé à la création en 1982 de l’ITEM, structure consacrée à l’analyse de la création littéraire. En 1881 Hugo avait déjà légué ses manuscrits à la BnF en vue de leur transmission. Un siècle plus tard Aragon donne ses archives au CNRS en vue de leur exploitation scientifique. Ce geste est précédé de la publication de Je n’ai jamais appris à écrire ou Les Incipit, prolégomènes ironiques à toute approche de ses manuscrits. Aragon s’y explique sur les processus automatiques qui ont présidé à l’écriture inassignable de ses œuvres, conçues par un autre que lui-même : un essai paradoxal qui semble exclure toute étude de genèse. Mais cette fiction théorique peut être relue à la lumière, affirmative et opérationnelle, du discours « D’un grand art nouveau : la recherche » qu’Aragon prononce au CNRS en 1977 à l’occasion de son legs.
Un fonds, son legs
Authors: Lance-Otterbein Renate
Published: September 2020

En 1977, Aragon confie à la recherche (ITEM / CNRS) le « legs littéraire d’Elsa Triolet et l’ensemble des manuscrits et documents en sa possession ». Dans son allocution inaugurale, il interroge les notions de « manuscrit » et de « recherche », constate l’évolution du sens et des méthodes et salue l’innovation de la critique génétique qui pousse la curiosité jusqu’à l’étude des brouillons. Ailleurs, il avait réclamé le droit de l’écrivain et créateur à la recherche. À présent, souhaitant faire comprendre ce siècle dans lequel il fut inventeur d’avant-gardes et de mouvements progressistes, il accepte que la recherche s’empare de ses archives et incite à les enrichir avec des auteurs cadets qu’il avait encouragés et publiés. L’un d’eux, Jean Ristat, est présenté comme successeur. Le manuscrit de l’allocution permet de mieux mesurer la préoccupation de l’octogénaire au sujet de cette ouverture sur l’avenir : Aragon, demandant sérieux et discrétion, délègue à la postérité le rayonnement de son œuvre.
Regional Mapping of Vineyards Using Machine Learning and LiDAR Data
Authors: Prins Adriaan Jacobus , van Niekerk Adriaan
Published: September 2020

This study evaluates the use of LiDAR data and machine learning algorithms for mapping vineyards. Vineyards are planted in rows spaced at various distances, which can cause spectral mixing within individual pixels and complicate image classification. Four resolution where used for generating normalized digital surface model and intensity derivatives from the LiDAR data. In addition, texture measures with window sizes of 3x3 and 5x5 were generated from the LiDAR derivatives. The different combinations of the resolutions and window sizes resulted in eight data sets that were used as input to 11 machine learning algorithms. A larger window size was found to improve the overall accuracy for all the classifier–resolution combinations. The results showed that random forest with texture measures generated at a 5x5 window size outperformed the other experiments, regardless of the resolution used. The authors conclude that the random forest algorithm used on LiDAR derivatives with a resolution of 1.5m and a window size of 5x5 is the recommend configuration for vineyard mapping using LiDAR data.

This study also explores the economic and financial performances of SME sectors. Kruskal Wallis Test has been used to find the mean difference in growth and economic contributions of SMEs based on their respectively locations by using secondary data from government authorities. Also, a simple descriptive statistics analysis has been used to represent the data in a graphical and numerical form. Home-based and non-home-based entrepreneurships in the Emirates were mapped using global positioning system (GPS). This study reveals the importance of geographic distribution of SMEs in the country which will help government authorities as well as the entrepreneurs to choose their location for business.
Modeling Migratory Patterns of the Eastern Monarch Butterfly
Authors: Kesler Karen , Bunch Rick
Published: September 2020

The purpose of this research was to relate the influence of specific site suitability variables to eastern monarch butterfly migratory patterns and behavior. Elevation, temperature, precipitation, and land use data layers were overlaid to collectively consider how these variables affected the way that butterflies migrated and recolonized during the 2016/2017 migratory cycle. The variables were reclassified into layers ranking suitability as either unsuitable, suitable, or optimal with respective scores of one, three, and five. Three uninhabitable variables were identified that deemed a site unsuitable despite the influence and possible optimal suitability of the other variables. The results of this study indicated that site suitability was a large driving factor for migratory monarchs with a heavier emphasis placed on average temperature and land/cropland use. Possible displaced and sink populations were identified for further study, while the effects of agriculture, development, and climate change were considered regarding flyway connectivity and behavior.
Elephant Herding Optimization for Multi-Level Image Thresholding
Authors: Chakraborty Falguni , Roy Provas Kumar , Nandi Debashis
Published: September 2020

Multilevel thresholding plays a significant role in the arena of image segmentation. The main issue of multilevel image thresholding is to select the optimal combination of threshold value at different level. However, this problem has become challenging with the higher number of levels, because computational complexity is increased exponentially as the increase of number of threshold. To address this problem, this paper has proposed elephant herding optimization (EHO) based multilevel image thresholding technique for image segmentation. The EHO method has been inspired by the herding behaviour of elephant group in nature. Two well-known objective functions such as ‘Kapur's entropy' and ‘between-class variance method' have been used to determine the optimized threshold values for segmentation of different objects from an image. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been verified using a set of different test images taken from a well-known benchmark dataset named Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS). For comparative analysis, the results have been compared with three popular algorithms, e.g. cuckoo search (CS), artificial bee colony (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). It has been observed that the performance of the proposed EHO based image segmentation technique is efficient and promising with respect to the others in terms of the values of optimized thresholds, objective functions, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structure similarity index (SSIM) and feature similarity index (FSIM). The algorithm also shows better convergence profile than the other methods discussed.
Three-Step Metaheuristic for the Multiple Objective Multiple Traveling Salesmen Problem
Authors: Harrath Youssef
Published: September 2020

In this article, the multiple objective multiple Traveling Salesman Problem is considered. m salesmen have to visit n cities to perform some tasks each taking a given processing time. Two objectives are considered: balance the working loads of different salesmen and minimize their total traveled distance. To solve this NP-hard problem, a 3-phase metaheuristic was developed. In the first 2 phases, the principle of center of mass and a neighborhood search technique are used to assign the n cities to the m salesmen. In the third phase, a TSP solver was used to generate an optimal tour to every salesman using its assigned cities in phase 2. The metaheuristic was tested using TSP benchmarks of different sizes. The obtained results showed almost optimal load balancing for all tested instances and optimal tours in term of total traveled distances. A conducted comparison study showed that the proposed metaheuristic outperforms a recently published clustering algorithm for the workload objective.
Advanced Applications on Bilingual Document Analysis and Processing Systems
Authors: Puri Shalini , Singh Satya Prakash
Published: September 2020

Today, rapid digitization requires efficient bilingual non-image and image document classification systems. Although many bilingual NLP and image-based systems provide solutions for real-world problems, they primarily focus on text extraction, identification, and recognition tasks with limited document types. This article discusses a journey of these systems and provides an overview of their methods, feature extraction techniques, document sets, classifiers, and accuracy for English-Hindi and other language pairs. The gaps found lead toward the idea of a generic and integrated bilingual English-Hindi document classification system, which classifies heterogeneous documents using a dual class feeder and two character corpora. Its non-image and image modules include pre- and post-processing stages and pre-and post-segmentation stages to classify documents into predefined classes. This article discusses many real-life applications on societal and commercial issues. The analytical results show important findings of existing and proposed systems.

The Impact of National Culture Dimensions on the Adoption of Cross-Border E-Commerce
Authors: Mensah Isaac Kofi , Zeng Guohua , Luo Chuanyong
Published: September 2020

This study integrated the cultural dimensions such as power distance, collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and long-term orientation into the UTAUT to examine the comparative impact of cultural dimensions on the adoption of cross-border e-commerce between the Chinese and Russian citizens. The data analysis was conducted with SPSS and Smart PLS 3.0. The results indicate that power distance, collectivism, and long-term orientation respectively were significant predictors of performance expectancy and effort expectancy of cross-border e-commerce for both Chinese and Russian citizens. Uncertainty avoidance and masculinity were also found to determine the performance expectancy of cross-border e-commerce. However, while uncertainty avoidance and masculinity were significant determinants of the effort expectancy of cross-border e-commerce in the context of the Russia sample, it was not so for the Chinese sample. In addition, performance expectancy and social influence were positive predictors of the intention to use cross-border e-commerce for both Chinese and Russia samples.

Published: September 2020

This paper explores the motivations and priorities of Chinese Millennials' use of social media with regard to the sharing of content. A commercially important demographic, this group are highly active on social media. The amount of content that is shared online is immense. Some shared content “goes viral” and can be seen by vast numbers of users. The findings of this study are based on the results of over 650 online surveys and include both theoretical and practical contributions to the body of knowledge regarding the nature of viral propagation of content in Chinese social media. This contribution to the understanding and insight social media activities of this significant and commercially consumer demographic may be of value to online promoters and marketers as well those interested in the use of social media for commercial purposes in the design and management of their online and social media presence, marketing, and advertising strategies.
Creating a Fan Community for Sport Teams Through Social Media
Authors: Rufer Rosalyn J. , Rufer Lisa S.
Published: September 2020

With so many people using social media, it is no surprise that sports team at all levels are looking to use social media to increase interactions with the spectators. Consumers appear to choose to use social media to connect with the team, other fans, and feel a sense of belonging to a community. There are many articles that discuss the relationship between social media and sport; however, many of them are not supported with empirical data, nor do they address the gap between fan communities and behavior. This study uses empirical data to try to prove that there is a relationship between social media and creating a brand community for teams in the National Basketball Association (NBA). It adds to the literature by providing empirical evidence between fan communities and fan behavior.
Perceived Quality of Online Encyclopedias
Authors: Raith Corinna Petra , Koch Stefan
Published: September 2020

This study illustrates how different user groups perceive and evaluate the content quality of Wikipedia articles as compared to entries of a traditional encyclopedia. Therefore, an experimental set-up was used with blinded articles of different topic fields from the German Wikipedia and Brockhaus online, evaluated by experts with different backgrounds (university vs. practice) and by students of the field. The findings showed that the quality of both encyclopedias was assessed similarly (intra-group evaluations), although more faults and mistakes were criticized in the Wikipedia sample. However, the inter-group comparison revealed differences in the groups' quality perceptions. This partly applied to the comparison of the expert groups, and especially to the comparison of expert and (non-expert) student evaluations. Students tended to give better ratings, especially within the Wikipedia sample. Most noticeable, they did not detect any content-related faults in both sets, highlighting that further training is needed to improve their information literacy.
Potential of Carica papaya peels as effective biocatalyst in the optimized parametric transesterification of used vegetable oil
Authors: Etim A.O. , Eloka-Eboka Andrew C. , Musonge P.
Published: September 2020

This study investigates the effectiveness of a base heterogenous catalyst derived from waste Carica papaya peels in the transesterification of used vegetable oil (UVO). The calcined Carica papaya peels (CCPP) were characterised using scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The EDX result indicated that the ash contains various minerals with potassium (K) as the main active element in remove for the charge of the high catalytic activity. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box Behnken design (BBD) was used to optimise and investigate the effect of the critical process parameters which include: the reaction time (50 – 70 min), catalyst loading (2.5 – 4.5 wt%) and methanol-to-oil molar ratio (9:1 – 15:1). The optimal reaction condition for the transesterification process was found to be catalyst loading of 3.5 wt%, methanol/oil molar ratio of 12:1, process reaction time of 60 min at constant reaction temperature of 65 oC which resulted in the maximum biodiesel yield of 97.5 wt%. The quality of the produced biodiesel was in agreement with ASTM standards. The catalyst was reused up to three times with minimal decrease in the catalytic activity in the biodiesel conversion. The study demonstrates the potential of waste biomass feedstocks in the production of sustainable biodiesel fuel.
