Lyα emission from galaxies can be utilized to characterize the ionization state in the intergalactic medium (IGM). We report our search for Lyα emission at z > 7 using a comprehensive Keck/MOSFIRE near-infrared spectroscopic data set, as part of the Texas Spectroscopic Search for Lyα Emission at the End of Reionization Survey. We analyze data from 10 nights of MOSFIRE observations which together target 72 high-z candidate galaxies in the GOODS-N field, all with deep exposure times of 4.5–19 hr. Utilizing an improved automated emission-line search, we report 10 Lyα emission lines detected (>4σ) at z > 7, significantly increasing the spectroscopically confirmed sample. Our sample includes large equivalent-width (EW) Lyα emitters (>50 Å), and additional tentative Lyα emission lines detected at 3σ–4σ from five additional galaxies. We constrain the Lyα EW distribution at z ∼ 7.6, finding a significant drop from z ≲ 6, suggesting an increasing fraction of neutral hydrogen (H i) in the IGM in this epoch. We estimate the Lyα transmission through the IGM (=EW
z ∼ 7.6/EW

) and infer an IGM H i fraction (X
HI) of

at z ∼ 7.6, which is lower in modest tension (>1σ) with recent measurements at z  ∼ 7.6. The spatial distribution of the detected Lyα emitters implies the presence of a potential highly ionized region at z ∼ 7.55, which hosts four Lyα emitters within a ∼40 cMpc spatial separation. The prominence of this ionized region in our data set could explain our lower inferred value of X
HI, though our analysis is also sensitive to the chosen reference Lyα EW distribution values and reionization models.
Remarkable Migration of the Solar System from the Innermost Galactic Disk; a Wander, a Wobble, and a Climate Catastrophe on the Earth
Authors: Tsujimoto Takuji , Baba Junichi
Published: November 2020

Recent knowledge of Galactic dynamics suggests that stars radially move on the disk when they encounter transient spiral arms that are naturally generated during the process of disk formation. We argue that the large movement of the solar system from the innermost disk over its lifetime is inferred from an elemental abundance pattern of the Sun to those of solar twins within the Galactic chemical evolutionary framework. The implied metal-rich environment at the Sun’s birthplace and its formation time are supported by measured silicon isotopic ratios in presolar silicon carbide grains. We perform numerical simulations of the dynamical evolution of disk stars in a Milky Way–like galaxy to identify the lifetime trajectory of the solar system. We find that a solar system born in the proximity of the Galactic bulge could travel to the current locus by the effect of radial migration induced by several major encounters with spiral arms. The frequent feature we identify is the repeated passages of stars inside the same spiral arm owing to the wobble of stars traveling in and out of the spiral arms. We predict that such episodes are evidenced in the Earth’s geological history as snowball Earth and that their occurrence times are within our predictions. In particular, the stellar motion that vertically oscillates during passages through spiral arms occasionally leads to a split into two discrete passage episodes with an interval of several tens of megayears, implying two relevant snowball Earth events that occurred in rapid succession (∼720 and 650 million years ago).

We study the interstellar medium in a sample of 27 high-redshift quasar host galaxies at z ≳ 6, using the [C ii] 158 μm emission line and the underlying dust continuum observed at ∼1 kpc resolution with Atacama Large Millimeter Array. By performing uv-plane spectral stacking of both the high and low spatial resolution data, we investigate the spatial and velocity extent of gas and the size of the dust-emitting regions. We find that the average surface brightness profile of both the [C ii] and the dust continuum emission can be described by a steep component within a radius of 2 kpc and a shallower component with a scale length of 2 kpc, detected up to ∼10 kpc. The surface brightness of the extended emission drops below ∼1% of the peak at radius of ∼5 kpc, beyond which it constitutes 10%–20% of the total measured flux density. Although the central component of the dust continuum emission is more compact than that of the [C ii] emission, the extended components have equivalent profiles. The observed extended components are consistent with those predicted by hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies with similar infrared luminosities, where the dust emission is powered by star formation. The [C ii] spectrum measured in the mean uv-plane stacked data can be described by a single Gaussian, with no observable [C ii] broad-line emission (velocities in excess of ≳500 km s−1), which would be indicative of outflows. Our findings suggest that we are probing the interstellar medium and associated star formation in the quasar host galaxies up to radii of 10 kpc, whereas we find no evidence for halos or outflows.

Palmatine a protoberberine alkaloid has been previously reported to possess in vivo antidiabetic and antioxidant property. The aim of the experiment is to evaluate the in vitro antidiabetic activity and in-silico studies of the binding energies of Palmatine, acarbose, and Sitagliptin with the three enzymes of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV). The in vitro antidiabetic study was done by evaluating the inhibitory effect of palmatine on the activities of alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and DPP-IV. Acarbose, and sitagliptin was used as standard drug. The molecular docking study was performed to study the binding interactions of palmatine with alpha-glucosidase, a-amylase, and DPP-IV. The binding interactions were compared with the standard compounds Sitagliptin and acarbose. Palmatine with IC50 (1.31 ± 0.27 µM) showed significant difference of (< 0.0001) higher inhibiting effect on alpha-amylase and weak inhibiting effect on alpha-glucosidase enzyme with IC50 (9.39 ± 0.27 µM) and DPP-IV with IC50 (8.7 ± 1.82 µM). Palmatine possess inhibition effect on the three enzymes.

Published: November 2020

Inaugurée en 2015, la Cité de la musique-Philharmonie de Paris a notamment pour mission la transmission de la culture musicale et propose dans ce but des ateliers d’initiation à la musique à destination des enfants et de leur famille. Ces ateliers constituent des espaces d’observation privilégiés pour saisir les émotions musicales individuelles et relationnelles nées de l’expérience musicale. Menée au cours de la saison 2017-2018, l’enquête a consisté à saisir et à analyser les manifestations émotionnelles propres à l’expérience esthétique musicale pour les enfants et leurs parents participant à ces ateliers thématiques. Un peu plus de 200 émotions ont été identifiées puis recodées en 22 descripteurs émotionnels dont 10 rassemblent la plupart des émotions observées, dont l’enthousiasme, l’attention, la dissipation ou encore la surprise ou l’ennui. Au-delà des émotions manifestées par les enfants, l’enquête s’intéresse aux attentes des parents accompagnants qui appartiennent aux classes supérieures cultivées. Espace de socialisation des émotions enfantines, ouverture culturelle ou validation de l’excellence musicale, l’atelier d’initiation musical est investi par les parents d’une fonction de transmission culturelle qui varie du simple plaisir partagé au projet éducatif négocié.
Du statut au contrat

Published: November 2020

Cet article propose de remettre en perspective le projet de LPPR dans l’évolution des textes législatifs et réglementaires concernant l’Université (depuis 1808) et la recherche (depuis les années 1930). Cette analyse du discours juridique dans la longue durée montre la lente émergence des garanties statutaires pour les enseignants et les chercheurs, comme le passage au second plan des règles statutaires à travers les récents codes de l’éducation et de la recherche. Une évolution du statut au contrat que la LPPR ne ferait qu’aggraver dangereusement.

Dans cet article, les auteurs explorent, sans concession et avec humour, le corpus sémantique, fantasmatique, archétypal et… floral appliqué à la maladie covid-19 en se référant à une enquête sur les représentations imaginaire et symbolique actuelles. Leur questionnement débouche sur une saine écologie de l’esprit où l’individuation du Soi rejoint une prise de conscience collective et alarmante de la lutte entre Nature et Culture. Les auteurs nous situent le jour d’après le « grand enfermement » et au moment où la pandémie, toujours nocive, par cette épreuve inflationniste et inflammatoire fait vaciller la certitude de notre monde d’avant, porteur, à son insu, de la plaie purulente d’une économie mondiale attisée par notre fièvre d’explosion égotiste.
Prendre en charge les mineurs non accompagnés : spécificités d’un dispositif complémentariste en contexte transculturel
Authors: Guessoum Selim Benjamin , Touhami Fatima , Radjack Rahmeth , Moro Marie Rose , Minassian Sevan
Published: November 2020

Les mineurs non accompagnés sont des enfants et des adolescents qui ont quitté leurs pays et se trouvent sans adulte référent dans un pays étranger. Ils présentent un taux élevé de symptômes psychiatriques avec des intrications complexes au niveau psycho-traumatique, transculturel, familial, éducatif et judiciaire. Le dispositif clinique NatMIE a été créé à l’Hôpital Cochin à Paris afin de répondre aux besoins spécifiques des mineurs non accompagnés. Il s’agit d’une consultation conjointe psychiatre-psychologue qui associe auprès du jeune le professionnel qui l’accompagne au quotidien, permettant un travail institutionnel. L’approche transculturelle s’avère indispensable, avec le concours systématique d’un médiateur culturel. L’approche narrative apporte une continuité et une cohérence à un récit de vie fragmenté, notamment à travers des objets de médiation. C’est un dispositif qui fait appel à plusieurs approches : psychiatrique et psychologique, transculturelle, narrative et institutionnelle.
L’approche clinique transculturelle en expertise psychologique pénale
Authors: Barbaras Caroline , Titia Rizzi Alice
Published: November 2020

Cet article établit la nécessité de prendre en considération l’approche transculturelle dans le cadre des expertises psychologiques ordonnées dans une procédure pénale. Elle permet d’éviter trois écueils auxquels le psychologue peut se confronter s’il ne tient pas compte des théories étiologiques du mal ou du désastre que tout sujet produit à partir de sa propre culture : la dissolution de la singularité du sujet dans l’universalité du droit ; le piège de la question de la crédibilité ; le sur-diagnostic de psychose dans le champ pénal. Le sujet du droit est appréhendé ici dans son rapport à la culture en tant que Culture et par le biais du discours qu’il produit de manière singulière sur ce rapport. Trois cas cliniques illustrent cette méthode au service de l’avènement de l’universel concret dans le champ pénal.
À la croisée des chemins. Entre routes de pouvoir et sentiers cliniques

Published: November 2020

Cet article invite le lecteur à croiser les chemins de la psychanalyse et des rapports de pouvoir à l’œuvre dans la société. A travers l’exemple actuel de la théorie de l’intersectionnalité issue des luttes féministes noires américaines, nous interrogeons l’intérêt de cette rencontre pour la prise en charge clinique. Le défi théorique émerge des défis sociétaux auxquels se confronte notre clinique : sociétés multiculturelles, interrogations autour du genre, etc. Ces enjeux de société bousculent les dynamiques de pouvoir et nécessitent de penser la place des privilèges et des discriminations dans nos pratiques cliniques.
Acute high-intensity aerobic exercise increases gene expression of calcium-related proteins and activates endoplasmic reticulum stress responses in diabetic hearts
Authors: Ness H.O. , Ljones K. , Pinho M. , Høydal M.A.
Published: November 2020

Regular aerobic exercise training has a wide range of beneficial cardiac effects, but recent data also show that acute very strenuous aerobic exercise may impose a transient cardiac exhaustion. The aim of this study was to assess the response to acute high-intensity aerobic exercise on properties of mitochondrial respiration, cardiomyocyte contractile function, Ca2+ handling and transcriptional changes for key proteins facilitating Ca2+ handling and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses in type 2 diabetic mice. Diabetic mice were assigned to either sedentary control or an acute bout of exercise, consisting of a 10×4 minutes high-intensity interval treadmill run. Mitochondrial respiration, contractile and Ca2+ handling properties of cardiomyocytes were analysed 1 hour after completion of exercise. Gene expression levels of key Ca2+ handling and ER stress response proteins were measured in cardiac tissue samples harvested 1 hour and 24 hours after exercise. We found no significant changes in mitochondrial respiration, cardiomyocyte contractile function or Ca2+ handling 1 hour after the acute exercise. However, gene expression of Atp2a2, Slc8a1 and Ryr2, encoding proteins involved in cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling, were all significantly upregulated 24 hours after the acute exercise bout. Acute exercise also altered gene expression of several key proteins in ER stress response and unfolded protein response, including Grp94, total Xbp1, Gadd34, and Atf6. The present results show that despite no significant alterations in functional properties of cardiomyocyte function, Ca2+ handling or mitochondrial respiration following one bout of high intensity aerobic exercise training, the expression of genes involved in Ca2+ handling and key components in ER stress and the unfolded protein response were changed. These transcriptional changes may constitute important steps in initiating adaptive remodelling to exercise training in type 2 diabetes.
A literature review of consumer research on edible insects: recent evidence and new vistas from 2019 studies
Authors: Dagevos H.
Published: November 2020

A large number of consumer studies on edible insects in Western countries have been published in 2019. A total of 33 studies are brought together in this article that provides an overview of current findings and signals further developments in today’s scholarly attention in the field of human consumption of insects. To outline this body of knowledge, this literature review presents established threads of research about: (1) Westerners’ unfamiliarity with; and (2) fear of eating insects; or (3) consumer reactions to processed or unprocessed insect food products. In addition, new avenues of study in entomophagy research are identified. Present-day studies open up new vistas by: (1) taking different consumer segments and food styles into account; (2) starting to examine the role of emotions and affective factors; and (3) employing a research design that includes multiple insect food products to explore consumer responses to various product options. Studies from 2019 also show that sustainability and circularity gains of insects are in their nascent stage as far as consumer studies are concerned.
Oscillation criteria for kernel function dependent fractional dynamic equations
Authors: Abdalla Bahaaeldin , Abdeljawad Thabet
Published: November 2020

In this work, we examine the oscillation of a class fractional differential equations in the frame of generalized nonlocal fractional derivatives with function dependent kernel type. We present sufficient conditions to prove the oscillation criteria in both of the Riemann-Liouville (RL) and Caputo types. Taking particular cases of the nondecreasing function appearing in the kernel of the treated fractional derivative recovers the oscillation of several proven results investigated previously in literature. Two examples, where the kernel function is quadratic and cubic polynomial, have been given to support the validity of the proven results for the RL and Caputo cases, respectively.
A Orientação Estratégica em PMEs: A relação entre Estrutura Organizacional e Geração de Conhecimento
Authors: Jardim William Carvalho , Marconatto Diego Antonio Bittencourt
Published: November 2020

Knowledge generation (CG), organizational structure (OE) and strategic orientation (OE) are three central aspects for the functioning and performance of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs), since their sustainability is significantly related to their operational results. However, it is not yet clear how the different aspects of the SME organizational structure impact KM. And little is known about how SME strategic guidelines (OEs) moderate these same relationships. In this article, we discovered (1) the influence of different aspects of SMEs' OEs on the capacity of KM and (2) the way in which different OEs moderate these relationships. For this, we employ structural equation modeling (SEM) in the data, obtained through online research (Qualtrics), of 219 North American SMEs. Among the most important results is the positive - and counterintuitive - impact of formalizing OE in KM, regardless of PM OE; as well as the positive moderation of potential OE in the various relationships tested. Departmentalization, on the other hand, showed a strong negative influence on KM. These results provide important insights for SME managers when indicating how they can increase KM in their business by matching their OE and OE. The theoretical contribution of this study comes from the identification of the established relationships - until then little explored in the literature - between OE, OE and GC in the scope of SMEs. Finally, the results of the study indicate new avenues of research for investigations in the field of SMEs.
Accountability ou Prestação de Contas, CGU ou Tribunais de Contas: o exame de diferentes visões sobre a atuação dos órgãos de controle nos municípios brasileiros.
Authors: Almeida Fernandes Gustavo Andrey , Teixeira Marco Antonio Carvalho
Published: November 2020

The lack of cognitive models to explain the concept of accountability can be synthesized in the absence of a single term in the Portuguese language since Accountability is usually considered a word whose meaning is incomplete. The impact of cognitive models in the form of audit is taken is very important.  Courts of Accounts were established in Brazil since Old Republic while CGU was created in 2003.  In this paper, we analyze the conceptual differences between the Courts of Accounts and Federal Comptroller General regarding accountability. Despite many municipal actions receive a dual inspection, data shows a wide divergence between the results obtained by respective TCE and CGU. The performance of the latter is closer to an audit of performance, reporting on average a larger number of irregularities in the cities, whereas in the Courts of Accounts, it is usually done audit of compliance, with relatively minor findings.

Published: November 2020

Neste artigo, fazemos uma reflexão teórica sobre as concepções de gênero nas abordagens sociossemióticas. Temos como objetivo mostrar de que forma as concepções vigentes nessas teorias convergem e/ou divergem entre si, o que pode causar confusão e incompreensão por parte de usuários menos experientes e de professores do ensino básico quanto à terminologia e à própria conceituação. Seguimos os pressupostos teóricos dos autores reconhecidos como representativos das diferentes abordagens, como Halliday e Hasan, Estrutura Potencial Genérica; Martin, Teleológica; Fowler at al, Linguística Crítica; Kress, Discursivo-Semiótica; e Fairclough Análise Crítica do Discurso. Após revisão teórica, analisamos os pontos exponenciais acerca das concepções de gênero focalizadas nessas abordagens e constatamos que há pontos comuns e conflitantes entre elas que podem levar a incompreensões e a dificuldades quanto ao que entendem por gêneros discursivos. Contudo, concluímos que é pouco provável se chegar a uma concepção consensual em virtude da própria natureza do objeto.Palavras-chave: revisão; concepções de gêneros; abordagens sociossemióticas.
Prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition among under 5-year-old children hospitalised in three public hospitals in South Africa
Authors: Itaka Makanda B. , Omole Olufemi B.
Published: November 2020

Background: Malnutrition is a significant risk factor for ill health among children under 5 years of age and the consequences are significant.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition among under-5-year-old hospitalised children.Setting: This study was set at Sebokeng, Kopanong and Heidelberg hospitals, Sedibeng district, South Africa.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study comprising 306 hospitalised under-5-year-old children. Information on socio-demography, feeding practices, immunisation and clinical problems was obtained from caregivers and medical records. Anthropometric measurements were also performed.Results: Most participants were male (59.8%), had normal birth weights (80.0%), come from a household with a monthly income R2000 (about 150 US dollars) (50.3%), up-to-date immunisation (97.4%), breastfed for 6 months (57.4%) and were fed 3–4 meals/day (66.7%) and, at most, one snack/day (63.4%). Acute malnutrition accounted for 9.5% (n = 29) of admissions. Among these, 82.8% (n = 24) had severe acute malnutrition. On test of association, monthly household income (p = 0.01), mother’s and father’s employment status (p = 0.01; p = 0.01), breastfeeding history (p = 0.01) and having diarrhoea in index admission (p = 0.01) were significantly associated with malnutrition admission. In multivariate regression analyses, not being breastfed (odds ratio [OR] = 3.9; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23–12.29; p = 0.02) and diarrhoea at index admission were independently associated with malnutrition (OR = 23.3; 95% CI: 6.85–79.43; p = 0.01).Conclusion: A significant proportion of participants had malnutrition and were subjected to suboptimal feeding practices. Healthcare providers in primary care need to entrench dietary education and anthropometric screening in all clinic visits for children 5 years old, particularly when they present with diarrhoea or are not being breastfed.
Exploring public sector managers’ attitudes towards people with disabilities
Authors: Botha Petrus A. , Leah Lenky M.
Published: November 2020

Orientation: Managers’ and employers’ negative attitudes towards people with disabilities are a significant obstacle for employing people with disabilities (PWDs).Research purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to measure the attitudes of public sector managers towards PWDs.Motivation for the study: The motivation for this study was to explore factors affecting managers’ attitudes towards PWDs.Research approach/design and method: The study was conducted within the quantitative research paradigm by using a cross-sectional survey design. A convenience sampling method was used. The questionnaire measured public sector managers’ attitudes towards PWDs. Descriptive statistics, Cohen’s d, chi-square test and Spearman’s rank-order correlation statistical techniques were used to provide answers to the research questions.Main findings: The results revealed that managers had positive attitudes towards PWDs. The main attitudinal problems identified were that different training methods and tools should be used to meet the needs of different disability types. The results showed that PWDs had no unique characteristics, such as dependability, lower absenteeism rates, better cooperation and more loyalty, compared with those without disabilities. Managers also had the perception that PWDs lack communication, technical and social skills.Practical/Managerial implications: The negative perceptions towards the skills and characteristics of PWDs necessitate remedial interventions and different training methods.Contribution/value-add: This study has made a significant contribution to the body of knowledge by providing a theoretical-conceptual framework and a reliable measuring instrument to measure public sector managers’ attitudes towards PWDs.

Published: November 2020

Background:

Direct or indirect hand contact plays a significant role in health-care-associated infections. Family members of pediatric patients may have various hand hygiene practices. We aimed to evaluate the perceptions of hand hygiene and handshaking practices among family caregivers of hospitalized children in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted using a pretested two-part questionnaire for a randomly selected caregiver of hospitalized children at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between January 21 and March 8, 2018. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.

Results:

One hundred and eighty caregivers voluntarily participated in the study. The mean age was 35.1 years, and female parents comprised 85.6% of the sample. The majority of participants (82.8%) did not receive any previous formal education on hand hygiene. Most of the participants (relative importance index of 84.6%) had correct answers on a modified version of the World Health Organization “Perception Survey for Health-Care Workers.” However, handshaking avoidance was low in general, with caregivers reporting their handshaking practices did not change even when dealing with people who have flu-like symptoms. There was no significant correlation between the participants' characteristics and handshaking avoidance practice, except for those who were working in the medical field, who showed a significantly higher handshaking avoidance.

Conclusion:

Formal education for hospitalized children's caregivers on hand hygiene and handshaking practice is lacking. Information on appropriate hand hygiene and potential risks of infection spread is required, especially for those parents without a previous medical background.
Odwrócenie perspektywy. Empatyczna praktyka kolektywu Rotor
Authors: Siatka Krzysztof
Published: November 2020

A Reversed Perspective. The Empathetic Practice of the Rotor Collective In this study I reflect upon the project Da quassùètutta un’altra cosa (From Above It Is Something Different Altogether), executed by Rotor in 2018 in Palermo, for the Manifesta 12 European Nomadic Biennial. The Belgian collective of architects and designers attempted to recycle a site and a space in order to give it back to the inhabitants. Pizzo Sella, a picturesque slope in the vicinity of Palermo, is the location in question, where developers began erecting a housing estate in the 1980s. But the construction was never completed, and the artists turned the hollow concrete structures, which are marks of trauma today, into platform-like viewpoints, so producing a unique experience. A reversed perspective, besides offering magnificent outlooks, may contribute to reinstating the human and nature symbiosis. The success of the chosen method is a result of an empathetic research attitude to the materials found in the area. Repurposing destroyed buildings is, to me, an example of the ancient practice of appropriation referred to as spolia. Those I wish to define broadly: as secondary, or reclaimed substances that make cognition possible for a body situated in a relation with the world.
Biblical Symbols in the Works of Rudolf Steiner’s Followers: Initiation/Archangel Michael by Amalia Luna Drexler as an Example of an Anthroposophical Interpretation of the Spiritual Mission of the Slavs
Authors: Rzeczycka Monika
Published: November 2020

At the beginning of the 20th century, national mythologies inscribed in the Christian tradition were held in high regard within the milieu of Polish and Russian followers of esotericism. The international anthroposophical movement initiated by the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner is a special case. Among his Russian and Polish devotees sprang the common idea of the Slavic spiritual mission in the service of Archangel Michael. The author of this article explores this idea using the example of a sculpture entitled Initiation/Archangel Michael made in 1927 by the Polish artist Amalia Luna Drexler, who belonged to the group of “first generation”anthroposophists.
The Mystical Spirit of Japan – Stefan Łubieński and Transnational Artistic Networks in 1920s Japan
Authors: Čapková Helena
Published: November 2020

Stefan Łubieński (1893–1976), composer, fine artist, diplomat, spiritual seeker, and thinker, was a Polish nobleman, follower of Anthroposophy and author of such books as Ways to Spiritual Light and Man between Microcosm and Macrocosm. With his first wife, Zina Łubieńska, he resided in Japan in the first half of the 1920s. Although Łubieński published his autobiography and the names of the two Poles were mentioned at that time, the time they spent in Japan has not yet been analysed by scholars. This article is an attempt to unravel the Łubieńskis’life in Japan and show how it is placed in the context of Japanese culture in the 1920s. Furthermore, it will document the ways the Łubieńskis operated within the transnational network of Theosophists that spread among artists, foreign and Japanese alike, as a way to meet and exchange ideas. One of the circles the Łubieńskis joined, together with Noémi and Antonín Raymond, was the Garakutashū(en. “Circle for the Study of Odd Things and Junk”), a casual setting for open discussion about passion for collecting objects, hobbies, and a shared interest in Japanese arts such as woodblock printing, calligraphy, and ink painting. The transnational method used in this article foregrounds the importance of thinking through a lens highlighting transnational networks and enables us to recognize the Łubieńskis as a part of the Theosophical Society (TS), Garakutashū, and other networks of modern Japan.
The Concept of Religion of the Future according to the Esoteric Community of Wisła in the Interwar Period
Authors: Trzcińska Izabela
Published: November 2020

The purpose of the article is to present the idea of a religion of the future as conceived by the esoteric community of Wisła in Cieszyn Silesia during the interwar period. Esoteric interpretations of Christianity formed its basis, inspired mainly by the Polish romantic tradition connected with Bible reading, as well as the esoteric and spiritual ideas that were popular at that time, originating from Theosophy and spiritism. An important role in this context was played by considerations on the salvational mission of Christ, albeit presented in a perennialist and Gnostic manner. The esoteric spirituality from Wisła of the interwar period later paved the way for a modern alternative spirituality in Poland.
Inspiracje kulturami lokalnymi w awangardowej architekturze początków XXI w.
Authors: Bizio Krzysztof
Published: November 2020

Local cultural inspirations in avant-garde architecture in the wake of the twenty-first century This paper attempts to systematise the manner in which avant-garde architecture employed regional motifs during the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Architecture has used local patterns since its beginnings. However, as soon as the models of architectural orders had become widespread in the modern era, folk architecture and inspirations drawn from regional traditions were marginalised. Post-modern architecture questioned the ideas of universal practices, giving prominence to regional architecture. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, avant-garde architecture once more redefined the employment of local traditions as inspirations. The paper seeks to systematise the modern references to local traditions, distinguishing three basic categories: a) inspirations by architectural form, b) inspirations by construction materials and craft, c) inspirations by the ’idea of community‘. The selected examples are representative of these modern architectural solutions, and are discussed in connection to earlier projects.
Zróżnicowana zabudowa mieszkaniowa jako zasada nowego urbanizmu w procesie odnowy zdegradowanych osiedli

Published: November 2020

Principle of mixed housing within in the frames of new urbanism for the revival of distressed neighborhood Improvement of housing conditions is one of the basic elements of the process of revitalising urban structures. This study was conducted through the lens of mixed housing as a New Urbanism principle. Employment of this perspective is a result of contemporary adaptation of this American urban movement for revitalisation of urban tissue as a part of an infill development strategy. This work examines the practice of mixed housing in contemporary redevelopment projects in Europe, based on two case studies: Minguettes Vénissieux in the Lyon agglomeration (France) and Retkinia in Lodz (Poland).The redevelopment policies were compared with the American HOPE VI programme, which, similarly to the examples under study, was focused on the revitalisation of high-rise housing estates. The study’s findings enabled the definition of the influence of mixed housing principles of NU on urban regeneration processes and to gain some insight into the practice of mixed housing today, as well as into existing regulatory frameworks, based on the examined cases from France and Poland (1). A need for synergy between various NU principles was revealed as indispensable to produce or rather rebuild vital urban forms (2). As aimed, European tendencies in the mixed housing policy were related to US practice derived from the NU, especially examining the need for a diversity of tenure rights and regulatory guidelines based on NU application for revitalisation (3). The entirety of the research confirmed that mixed housing, as a multi-dimensional principle of NU, can serve as a means of revitalising residential areas, particularly decayed panel-block neighbourhoods.
A novel Based-Approach Composed of Clustering Algorithm & Cosine Similarity for Products Recommendation
Authors: Al-Hagery Mohammed Abdullah
Published: November 2020

There are huge tons of transactions being accomplished online every day. This implies that ecommerce is facing the problem of data and information overloads. While customers are shopping via websites, they spend a lot of time to search for the required products based on their needs. This problem can easily be alleviated by having an accurate recommendation system based on a strong algorithm and confident measures in this regard. There are two main techniques for products recommendation; content-based filtering and collaborative filtering. If one of these two techniques implemented on the e-commerce system, a lot of limitations and weak points will appear. This paper aims at generating an optimal list of product, which, in turn, generates an accurate and reliable list of items. The new approach is composed of three components; clustering algorithm, user-based collaborative filtering, and the Cosine similarity measure. This approach implemented using a real dataset of past experienced users. The accuracy of the search results is a matter to users, it recommends the most appropriate products to users of the e-commerce website. This approach shows trustworthy results and achieved a high level of accuracy for recommending products to users.

Authors: Nedjahi Nedjela
Published: November 2020

من الشخصيات الصوفيّة والفذّة التي تمتّعت بقدرة عالية على استيعاب كثير من المسائل الصوفيّة الشائكة، التي ذاع صيتها بين فقهاء و علماء القرن العشرين في الجزائر: العارف بالله سيدي محمد بن سليمان المستغانمي منشأ ، الندرومي دارا و قرارا ،حيث تعكس آثاره القدرة الفائقة على فهم وشرح وبيان كثير من الجزئيات ، و الظواهر التي يستعصي فهمها على أبناء عصرنا ،فقد تنوعت بين مسائل لغويّة و دينيّة و تأريخيّة ، فضلا عن أنّها تعكس آراء تربويّة هادفة مستوحاة من المعارف الكشفيّة بوصفها انعكاسا للصور بين القلب و الصلب ،و بين الشيخ و المريد ،و بين الشيخ و أحبابه ، مما جعله يمثل حلقة وصل لذاكرةٍ معرفيّة غنية بالتراث الديني والمعرفي، كما يعدّ ديوانه الشّعري واحدا من الآثار التي تزخر بأفكار وقضايا ، و مستوايات متعددة و متداخلة ، وما يلفت النظر فيه أيضا لغته التي تُغري المتلقي بارتياد أغوار دراسته من مضان مختلفة ، التي تتراوح بين مستويات متعددة ابتداء من المستوى المألوف إلى الصوفي العرفاني،لذلك تتوخى الدراسة الكشف عن تلك الملامح الصوفية في ديوان الشاعر و عن مضامين متعددة يزخر بها أهمها : الحب الإلهي ، والخمرة الصوفية ، والأفكار الفلسفية .

En este artículo se presenta el estado del arte de una investigación de largo alcance cuyo propósito consiste en evaluar una serie de proyectos de realidad aumentada y realidad virtual en términos de efemeralización educativa. ¿Qué proyectos se están desarrollando alrededor del mundo? ¿Qué países cuentan con iniciativas de esta naturaleza? ¿Qué valores agregados destacan estos proyectos? ¿Se identifican o no indicios de efemeralización educativa en la revisión preliminar de los proyectos? ¿Qué siguientes pasos se recomiendan para su evaluación?, son las interrogantes que aquí se abordan. Se concluye que el atributo de valor más reiterado es la divulgación amplia de contenidos que de otra manera serían inaccesibles para los usuarios, que en sí mismo no garantiza el óptimo aprovechamiento de la experiencia ni la efemeralización del proceso educativo, salvo que los contenidos se integren a un ecosistema congruente con dicha visión.
GUERRA, COMPLEXIDADE E INFORMAÇÃO

Published: November 2020

A década de 1990 ficou marcada pela insistência de Washington em propagandearuma alegada Revolução nos Assuntos Militares que, amparada no uso intensivo dastecnologias da informação, alteraria de forma radical as formas de combate, tornandopossível a combinação da dissuasão nuclear com formas cirúrgicas de ataque comarmamentos convencionais, tendo como diretriz a substituição do volume das forçasenvolvidas pelo aumento da qualidade das unidades operacionais. Esta orientaçãopressupõe um vínculo entre a(s) teoria(s) da complexidade, as tecnologias dainformação e um conjunto novo de máquinas e aparatos sociotécnicos capazesde perceber e interpretar a realidade em tempo real. A isto corresponde um novoestilo de organização e disposição das unidades de combate, onde os modelos degestão piramidais são diluídos em prol de uma rede de comando mais difusa, queopera como um conjunto de nódulos articulados pela comunicação que, muitasvezes, atua preventivamente.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura,traços fundamentais que conformaram o desenho institucional das Forças Armadas(FFAA). Toma de empréstimo para essa tarefa, a contribuição do conceito dehabitus em Bourdieu (1983). Tal conceito oferece elementos para refletir sobre ainteriorização dos valores, normas e princípios sociais pelos sujeitos militares, osquais asseguram a adequação entre ações individuais e realidade objetiva. Sendoassim, refletir sobre as instituições das FFAA sob a ótica de Bourdieu (2001) implicaconsiderá-las lócus de construção de um sistema simbólico e significante de práticase símbolos, sendo estes identificadores dos indivíduos a ele pertencentes. Entendeseque esse tipo de abordagem permite dialogar com os princípios orientadores daconduta neste tipo de organização, o que muito revela sobre a sua sociabilidade eimagem social.
