Authors: Hamler Hamler , C. Opara Leonard
Published: October 2022

Land has an important role to human livelihood and the economic need for land that is inversely proportional to the availability of the amount of land (tendrung is static) to be one factor triggering the spike in the number of disputes, conflicts and land affairs that occurred in Indonesia. Land use change can be a cause of disputes followed by the development of plantation development that continues to increase causing increased demand for land. Communal rights to customary community land should be given legal protection. These communal rights shall be regulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs / Spatial Planning and Head of BPN Number 10 of 2016, and in particular the provisions of Article 16 paragraph 1 h jo Section 53 of the BAL, In case of land rights disputes granted to legal subjects with communal rights of customary law community then the law must be enforced in its settlement to be resolved through the Court (litigation) of the institution having the authority to resolve the dispute and settlement of a non litigation dispute or alternative disputes resolution. Alternative dispute resolution in the form of win-win solusen that can provide mutual benefit.
THE LEGAL POLITICS OF THE GOVERNMENT ON THE ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT IN TERMS OF THE ASPECTS OF THE IUS CONSTITUTUM AND IUS OPERATUM
Authors: Asra Rahmad Riadi
Published: October 2022

The policy of acquiring land for development by the government based on the ius constitutum of the aspect of assessing the amount of compensation, is carried out by means of an assessment of the value / price of the object of land acquisition by the land appraiser and / or public appraiser. Theimplementation of the government's policy towards the acquisition of land for development in the ius operatum phase is carried out through an agreement. The achievement of an agreement on land compensation between the parties in land acquisition will have an impact on the smooth running of the government in carrying out programs and policies in terms of development. So that the word agree is the key to opening the transfer of land rights status with deliberative techniques to reach consensus.
POLITICAL STUDY OF LAW LAW NUMBER 8 OF 1981 CONCERNING THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE IN TERMS OF PRETRIAL LEGAL ASPECTS
Authors: Laia Lewiaro
Published: October 2022

The development of the authority of pretrial institutions in Indonesia begins with increasing the pretrial authority to the authority of investigators to be able to re-establish legal subjects (persons and / or legal entities) as suspects with the same evidence. The state organ that plays a dominant role in determining changes to the authority of pretrial institutions in Indonesia is the Constitutional Court (MK) which in terms of the aspect of state organ power is in the judicial branch of power (not executive or even legislative). It's just that the legal products stipulated by the Constitutional Court are more in the nature of forming laws and regulations which are the authority of the legislative and executive state organs. Since its inception, the Constitutional Court has been designed to oversee the constitution in the sense of keeping the law consistent, in line, and not contrary to the Constitution. In this case, there is a kind of constitutionalism barrier that strictly limits the Constitutional Court as a constitutional judiciary not to interfere in the realm of legislative power. Therefore, as a judicial institution, the Constitutional Court in principle should only state that articles/paragraphs/parts or all laws are contrary or not contrary to the constitution. In such duties and authorities, the Constitutional Court should not be allowed to make decisions of a regulatory nature, should not cancel laws or the contents of laws that the Constitution declares open (handed over arrangements to the legislature), and should not also make decisions that are ultra petita (let alone those that are positive legislature).
La fraude scientifique : une affaire de morale ou de système ?
Authors: Brunet Philippe
Published: October 2022

How to sociologically account for scientific fraud? We have to note its secondary treatment by actors and sociology, but also the difficulties in measuring its extent. We seek to understand this social phenomenon. I suggest that it expresses itself within a field of tensions bounded by two increasingly articulated polarities. On the one hand, the internal values of the professional ideology of scientists and on the other hand, the objective constraints exerted on scientific production. An analytical return to the emblematic case of the fraud of South Korean Professor Hwang Woo-Suk in 2005 shows a disarticulation of the two polarities by the actors. Far from invalidating the hypothesis, this treatment by the actors of the case of fraud reduces its understanding by masking its systemic dimension.
La paternité des idées en recherche : pour une cohérence des rôles sociaux, déontologique et scientifique du chercheur
Authors: Morcel Morgan
Published: October 2022

French jurisprudence considers ideas to be free of license. This doctrinal maxim also applies to researchers’ works. But, one can nevertheless only agree that ideas are the products of research and therefore researchers have a deontological duty to acknowledge prior works. Hence the question: how can plagiarism of ideas be assessed within the positive values of sciences? Inspired by The Office of Research Integrity which limits the definition of plagiarism and has peers assessing the facts, we propose in this paper a way to call for peers to assess plagiarism. This solution responds to the practical demands of each science, finds qualified judges motivated by the progress of their science, and takes seriousness as an important factor of sanction. We finally propose a reform of the researcher’s resume in which she determines for herself what novelty she brings to science — that will facilitate assessments by others.
Propos synthétiques sur l’intégrité à l’épreuve de la liberté de reproduction (domaine public et licences libres)
Authors: Zollinger Alexandre
Published: October 2022

Works in the public domain may be used, and in particular reproduced, freely. This freedom of exploitation can result from the absence of protection of the object in question by the various intellectual property rights (in the presence in particular of non-original creations), or else from the end of the patrimonial rights of author (in general 70 years after his death). A third scenario: the copyright holder can choose to use his right of exploitation, not yet prescribed, by authorizing in advance any reproduction or representation of his work. This “open” use of the exclusive right is carried out by resorting to free licenses (free software, Creative Commons, etc.). In order to improve the responses to breaches of academic integrity, it is notably proposed to supplement a principle of respect for the authorship of the results of scientific research
Une éthique énonciative des concepts socionumériques face à la naturalisation du numérique dans la société ?
Authors: Georges Fanny
Published: October 2022

How to observe the process of naturalization to take it into account in an academic enunciative ethics? This article presents a problematization of the naturalization of socio-digital concepts in the context of conflicts of interest, of an epistemic order, specific to the academic eristic framing of digital technologies. . This problematization is implemented, by a definition of the ethical values and academic integrity of critical research on socio-digital devices (section 2), and the presentation of a case study of work on the algorithm in France (section 3), in a sociosemiotic approach based on grounded theory. It points to a paradoxical phenomenon: the critical function of academic research and university teaching on the uses of digital technologies is threatened by the interdisciplinary implications specific to their social, legal, economic and political issues.
The arena of academic ethics and research facing the requirements of citizen participation or affected publics: risks, conflicts and conditions
Authors: Giannelos Kalli , Reber Bernard
Published: October 2022

Ethical reflection can be of use to any actor in the academic and research world, involving different responsibilities: scientific integrity, general or disciplinary – questions relating to ethics committees, research ethics, or even broader responsibilities relating to the uses and possible impacts of the work undertaken. This last type of concern has been taken into account under the vague notion of responsible research and innovation (RRI), which includes ethics at all levels, and therefore scientific integrity, but also participation and open science. However, it is not easy to combine ethics, participation and openness. This perspective thus proposes a renewal of the reflection on the categories of responsibility and integrity in Research and Innovation (R&I), as well as on the conditions of possibility of ethical participation, in regard to the publics involved, the operating modes and the purposes targeted and included in its operationalization.
Diriger une thèse doctorale : une activité responsable ou aléatoire en contexte universitaire camerounais ?
Authors: Kamdem Emmanuel
Published: October 2022

These problems are indicative of the gap observed in the effective application of formal standards of direction, conduct and defense of the thesis. We show the impact of the effective or random responsibility of the thesis director on the conduct of the thesis by the doctoral student. The decryption of these problems sheds useful light for understanding the environment of university research in Cameroon. The theoretical and managerial recommendations formulated are oriented towards six main thematic axes: the forward-looking management of the number of students and university teachers; the profile of the thesis supervisor; the financing of thesis projects and remuneration of the thesis directors; the academic follow-up of doctoral students; facilitating access to scientific documentation; the anti-plagiarism control of the theses before the defense.
Méconduites académiques : exploration d’une distinction potentielle de genres
Authors: Decullier Evelyne , Sèdes Florence
Published: October 2022

Gender bias, widely investigated in science on positive aspects such as obtaining funding or publications, remains unexplored on the « negative » aspects of science such as bad academic practices: if women are less visible in science, are they less inclined to dishonest, reprehensible or condemnable behavior?

Authors: Vivien Rym
Published: October 2022

Swiss higher education institutions are now legally obliged to ensure scientific integrity by drafting regulations and implementing transparent mechanisms in this area. A new National Code of Scientific Integrity has been published in 2021. Simultaneously with the publication of the new Code, the HES-SO Research and Innovation Department of the Rectorate conducted an internal survey in 2021 among the staff and management of the institution.s Various findings emerged, including the need to put in place regulations and mechanisms in the area of scientific integrity, but also to propose training and awareness-raising opportunities for the entire HES-SO academic community. On the basis of these findings and using national recommendations, an « Academic Integrity » action plan has been developed.
Study of Sustainable Architectural Design in Thailand
Authors: Hengrasmee Sirimas
Published: October 2022

Based on the results of the research in 2004, this article aims to suggest a guideline to developan appropriate approach of sustainable architectural design in Thailand. Rather than creating a checklist,this article points out the areas that are commonly ignored by the current approaches of Thai sustainablearchitecture. The analysis is based upon literature review of books, articles, and reports coveringissues related to sustainable development and sustainable, ecological, and green architecture. Theprogress of sustainable development and sustainable architectural design at national and internationallevels are reviewed and analyzed with an intention to compare sustainable architectural design inThailand with a concept of sustainable development and the international theory of sustainable design.Three images that characterize different approaches of sustainable architectural design in Thailand arebuilding technology/energy conservation, culture/vernacular architecture, and community and urbanplanning. According to the study, the approaches of Thai sustainable design are limited and cannotcapture the whole idea of the international concerns toward sustainability. In order to make sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand more comparable to the international approach as well as suitable forThai context and the country’s policy, such as the “Sufficiency Economy” concept, sustainablearchitectural design in Thailand should be more developed and integrate those international concernswith Thailand’s approaches.

Water Transportation in Bangkok: Past, Present, and the Future
Authors: Hossain Moinul , Iamtrakul Pawinee
Published: October 2022

Once, Bangkok was known to the world as the “Venice of the East.” However, the role of water based transport has diminished gradually over the last few decades and has vastly been replaced by traditional land-based transportation system. Nowadays, most of the waterway networks have been paved over with roads and the existing water transport facilities along the Chao Phraya river and its canals in Bangkok. Moreover, the existing system lacks adequate accessibility, inter-modal linkages as well as safety. This research study intends to present an overview of this public transport system together with its role and characteristics. In addition, it also intends to recommend some measures to improve the transportation system along these canals in Bangkok and exhibits how the reincarnation of this mode of transport can leave the urban transportation planners with substantial alternatives to provide mobility when traffic congestion and safety issues still remain unsolved in Bangkok. The study provides insight to incorporate water transport within the mainstream of transportation planning and progress towards a sustainable integrate transportation system which can alleviate the existing congestion and safety problems and eventually pacify the transformation of Bangkok from the “Venice of East” towards the “Jungle of Concrete.”

THE CHINESE IN INFORMAL TRADE IN YAOUNDÉ-CAMEROON: ANALYSIS OF THEIR SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION AND THEIR INTEGRATION (1971-2018)
Authors:   University of Maroua, Cameroon, NYUYKI ASHENI Wilson , GABANA Jean Francis
Published: October 2022

This work focuses on the informal trade of Chinese in Yaoundé. Based on oral sources, selective bibliography and on participative observations, this article shows that the presence of Chinese traders in Yaoundé has contributed to a large extent to the amelioration of the living conditions of the Cameroonian population. Even though, the installation of the Chinese has also led to the problem of social interactions. The Chinese are not easily integrating and inserting themselves into the host society, whereas their commercial activities are liable to put them in a « face-to-face » situation and relation of exchange with members of the same society.
APPROPRIATION DE LA MÉDECINE CHINOISE PAR LES TRADIPRATICIENS AU CAMEROUN
Authors:   Institut Supérieur de Philosophie Saint-Joseph-Mukassa, Yaoundé-Cameroun, KEUBOU Désiré Francis
Published: October 2022

Ce travail porte sur les processus d’incorporation de certains aspects de la médecine traditionnelle chinoise dans les protocoles de soins des tradipraticiens camerounais. À l’aide des techniques usuelles en recherche qualitative (entretien individuel approfondi, observation directe), nous avons collecté des données qui ont été traitées avec la technique de l’analyse de contenu. L’ethnanalyse a été utilisée pour l’interprétation des données collectées. Les résultats de cette étude ont montré que les tradipraticiens qui se sont appropriés la médecine chinoise ont des difficultés à mettre à jour leurs savoirs thérapeutiques dans le but de reconquérir de nombreux patients qui, de plus en plus, sont attirés par la médecine chinoise. À travers l’adoption et l’incorporation des éléments de la médecine chinoise, ils sont parvenus à la connaissance des valeurs thérapeutiques de certaines plantes médicinales chinoises et des processus de leur conditionnement. Cependant, en dépit de ce succès, ils restent confrontés à la méfiance de certains patients, à la présence des charlatans dans leur secteur d’activité et à l’indifférence des pouvoirs publics (État), qui n’accompagnent pas leurs initiatives. Les raisons pour lesquelles les tradipraticiens camerounais incorporent des éléments de la médecine chinoise dans leurs propres pratiques thérapeutiques sont individuelles et stratégiques. Le recours aux éléments de la médecine chinoise est une action raisonnée dont la motivation principale est de reconquérir les malades sur lesquels cette médecine orientale exerce une forte attirance. Ces résultats traduisent un besoin de formation et de recyclage des tradipraticiens camerounais sur les innovations thérapeutiques. Cette appropriation renforce les connaissances thérapeutiques des tradipraticiens et leur permet d’étendre leur surface sociale et thérapeutique dans l’espace médical camerounais. Toutefois, il convient de souligner avec force que cette appropriation n’est pas standardisée. Elle dépend de l’intuition et du background du thérapeute.
IMPACTS DU COVID-19 SUR L’APPRENTISSAGE DU CHINOIS EN MILLIEU UNIVERSITAIRE AU BURUNDI
Authors:   Université du Burundi, Burundi, BANKUWIHA Etienne
Published: October 2022

Cet article s’intéresse à la configuration de l’évolution des compétences linguistiques en chinois développées par les étudiants Burundais pendant la période de la pandémie de Covid-19. À partir d’une observation de terrain effectuée parallèlement avec un questionnaire et complétés par un entretien et une analyse-interprétation des fiches des résultats des tests internationaux d’évaluation du niveau de chinois (HSK et HSKK), l’article met en lumière la disparité dans l’évolution des compétences linguistiques en chinois où les compétences linguistiques d’écoute et de lecture apparaissent comme les plus développées par les apprenants, tandis que l’expression orale et l’expression écrite se dégradent graduellement. Cette disparité de l’ensemble des compétences linguistiques en chinois révèle une baisse continuelle du niveau de chinois des étudiants Burundais. À cet effet, il serait judicieux d’agir rapidement en créant des conditions favorables et compatibles avec les besoins des apprenants afin de pouvoir sortir de cette crise linguistique.
LE DILEMME DES RÉFORMES NÉOLIBÉRALES EN AFRIQUE POST-COVID-19
Authors:   Diplômée de l’Université de Montréal, Canada, CHEN Lijuan
Published: October 2022

Les pays africains ont commencé à accepter les réformes néolibérales depuis les années 1980 et 1990. Façonnés par le néolibéralisme et marqués par certaines faiblesses, les systèmes de santé publics en Afrique montrent certaines limites dans la réponse à la pandémie de COVID-19. De ce fait, le retour d’un rôle important de l’État s’impose. Cette recherche repose sur les méthodes d’analyse de documents et du traçage de processus pour découvrir les causes des réformes néolibérales. Il ressort que suite à une récession économique, beaucoup de pays africains, sous pression financière, ont entrepris un nouveau cycle de réformes néolibérales en acceptant les conditionnalités du Fonds Monétaire International (FMI) et de la Banque Mondiale (BM). Les pays africains post-COVID-19 sont confrontés au dilemme dû à la contradiction entre le besoin du retour de l’État avec un rôle important et la nécessité du maintien du néolibéralisme. Néanmoins, ils continuent de poursuivre les réformes néolibérales qui ont été longtemps critiquées. La coopération sino-africaine apporte une alternative aux anciens systèmes économiques et de santé pour les pays africains.
CAMEROON’S HIGHER EDUCATION REFORM FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC RELEVANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON CHINA’S EXPERIENCE - A SUMMARY
Authors:   Zhejiang Normal University, China, DONKENG NAZO Armel
Published: October 2022

This paper is a summary of my doctoral dissertation; it investigates the recent developments and reforms launched by Cameroon Higher Education policymakers to upgrade and align this sector to the needs of the country’s socio-economic development and suggest strategies built from China’s successful experience. This qualitative work was done in the broad discipline of comparative education and therefore compared and shared some best practices that China has accumulated in reforming its HE system. As a developing country assuming a different development model or certain independence from the Western model, China constitutes an example that can only inspire Cameroon differently. Considering this systemic difference with the West, including in its Higher Education (HE) system, the adoption of successful Chinese practices in this research provides new and original perspectives on HE. Findings from document analysis and participants’ perceptions have shown in the study that Cameroonian authorities, in their recent HE policies have stressed on professionalization, curriculum reform, university entrepreneurship, and on university’s third mission. On the Chinese side, strategies in reforming its HE sector were elaborated around prioritization of the HE sector development, a vigorously governmental promotion of the National System of Innovation (NSI), a strategic structuration and organization of the HE sector in poles for more efficient investment, the introduction of market model mechanisms in resources distribution, management, and a permanent effort to align HE to the national development strategies and needs. Among the strategies suggested for Cameroon, this research has insisted on strengthening the NSI, strategic restructuring of HE in poles, the development of public vocational and technological HEIs, and a substantial financial allocation based on market-type mechanisms.

EFFECT OF FLOOD ON FRINGE MANGROVE IN SOUTH-EASTERN NIGERIA
Authors: ENO AKPAN, UBONG , EWA-OBOHO ITA , ETIM INI-IBEHE N.
Published: October 2022

This study assessed the effect of flood on fringe mangrove in South-eastern Nigeria. The approach includes assessing historical climatic factors of about 50 years in comparison to field studied data with the standard method of sampling and analysis. The mean temperature of surface water in south-eastern Nigeria ranges from 26.7°C to 32.0oC, salinity record varied from 17.7 0/00 to 31.7 0/00 minimum and maximum respectively, dissolved oxygen (DO) which indicates the healthy nature of a water body ranges between 3.7 and 5.0 mg/l. Mangroves coverage in the study area between 1982, 2003 and 2021 is given as 55%, 31% and 14% respectively, with ANOVA test p-value of 0.02 and 0.03 for row and column data. The correlation of temperature to rainfall show negative r = -0.09194, annual sea level show a strong correlation (r = 0.831499) with temperature, pointing out that temperature is the main key factor contributing to the flooding and inundation of the south-eastern Nigerian coast. Temperature and salinity correlate positively (r = 0.981) with each other and both correlate negatively with dissolved oxygen (r = -0.70, -0.82), correlate positively with mangrove species abundance (r = 0.838, 0.927) and diversity in same range while correlating negatively with mangrove evenness distribution (r = -2E-16). The study showed that the mangrove ecosystem in south-eastern Nigeria had decreased in size due to changing environmental condition such as temperature, salinity, annual rainfall and sea level rise. The goods and services provided by this ecosystem also decreased posing a threat to poverty alleviation and climate change mitigation in south-eastern Nigeria. The study concluded that aside from human influence to mangrove ecosystem, flood poses a great threat through inundation and coastal erosion to the survival and sustenance of this ecosystem and its services rendered to the environment and mankind in general.
Mission Possible: A Literacy Support System for Adolescent Readers in the Content Areas
Authors: Slye Gail
Published: October 2022

The task appeared to be one that even highly trained secret agents would deem daunting. A middle school principal had requested assistance from a faculty member of a university education department to participate in a form of scholastic subterfuge. The concern expressed by the building site administrator revolved around an intense level of reluctance by the content area teachers to directly address reading challenges exhibited by their early adolescent or transeunt population. Therefore, the principal suggested using the middle school classrooms as a type of academic laboratory thereby allowing preservice teachers an opportunity to explore the effectiveness of various literacy-based strategies on early adolescents in the seventh and eighth grade enrolled in curricular-based courses.
Negotiating the Demands of High-Stakes Testing: Graduate Students' Experiences as Teachers Preparing Students for Standardized Assessments in Reading and Language Arts
Authors: Huddleston Andrew P.
Published: October 2022

This qualitative interview study examined the experiences of four language and literacy education Ph.D. students, as classroom teachers, preparing students for high-stakes testing in public schools. Two of the participants taught in a western U.S. state while the other two currently teach in a southeastern state. The findings revealed that the participants supported progressive education practices. However, the teachers in the in the western state indicated that their state's lower-stakes testing program coincided with their beliefs about teaching and furthered their teaching goals while the teachers in the southeastern state felt that their state's higher-stakes testing program conflicted with their beliefs and hindered their teaching. Participants' approaches for negotiating the demands of testing with their pedagogical beliefs are described.

Nontraditional Literacy Nontraditional Forms of Parental Involvement in Literacy Development: The Book Mobile and Other Stories
Authors: Guerra Patricia L. , Larrotta Clarena
Published: October 2022

This qualitative research examines family literacy practices used by working-class Latina/o parents. Through personal narratives two Latina researchers illustrate how their parents and family members engage in nontraditional parental involvement activities that promote literacy development and learning. Analysis of narratives reveals incidental learning occurs through nontraditional parent involvement. In literacy development this learning occurs when parents and children interact in daily life activities. Three themes are explored -- nontraditional reading resources, value assigned to literacy, and family interactions. Each theme is explained and accompanied by example narratives. Relevant implications for family literacy instructors are provided.
What's in a Word? Increasing Acquisition of Word Knowledge through Effective Vocabulary Instruction
Authors: Sartin Loleta D. , Magee Rosalyn L.
Published: October 2022

Johnny (a pseudonym) was able to decode the words in the poem, "Democracy." When asked to summarize the poem, Johnny responded, "I don't know what it was about." This is a common scenario in classrooms. Students are able to identify words automatically but are unable to discuss the meaning of the words. Decoding is a component of the reading process, but in order to become a reader, one must be able to both decode and understand the words on the page as defined by the National Reading Panel, are the words we must know to communicate effectively (LINCS, 2010). are four types of vocabulary: listening (words we can hear and understand), speaking (words we use when we speak), reading (words we can identify and understand when we read) and writing (the words we use in writing; Reutzel & Cooter, 2009). As a student's vocabulary increases, the better reader he will become. There is a positive correlation between a person's vocabulary attainment and fluency, comprehension, and oral and written communication skills.
Organically Grown: Development of the Georgia State University Urban Literacy Clinic
Authors: Elliott Lori , Daily Nancy Lee
Published: October 2022

As an hour and a half of literacy instruction, skills demonstrations, and discussion of course content concludes, someone calls out: “Here they come!" -- and the energy in the auditorium-style clinic space skyrockets, fueled by movement, smiles, laughter, and most of all, by the electrifying eye contact between students and tutors. For the next hour and fifteen minutes, individualized tutoring sessions are taught while master-level teachers observe lessons and offer feedback to the new teachers. Doctoral students lead parents in workshops focused on family literacy practices, and the university faculty instructor monitors progress and videotapes literacy session segments for future instruction. This is a typical evening at one of many literacy sessions at the Georgia State University Urban Literacy Clinic (ULC).
The Five Components of Reading Workshop: Preservice Teacher Learning From Literacy Practitioners
Authors: Sackor Sharry
Published: October 2022

During the fall semester of each school term for the past four years, I have taught an Early Childhood reading course at Albany State University. This is a graduate reading course, which was realigned in the fall of 2008 as a reading endorsement course. Initially, there were several options for completing the major assignment for the course, one of which was to conduct a reading workshop. The first year an individual student presented one for her fellow classmates. The second year the students asked if they could present the workshop as a group project. I thought that was a good idea and provided them with an audience: pre-service teachers who were enrolled in my content area reading course and my children's literature course. Since that time, I have made the group presentation of the workshop a requirement. Each year the presentations get better and better. The students have elected to present "The Five Components of Reading" workshop because it is emphasized in their reading endorsement course, which is relatively new to our campus. The National Reading Panel (2000) concludes that the five components (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency) are essential elements for teaching students to learn to read. This article describes how my students used the panel's conclusions and recommendations from Armbruster, Kehr, & Osborn (2003) to design and present the 2008 workshop -- "The Five Components of Reading."

In this article, we describe the parent literacy project and highlight the potential of efforts to involve parents in meaningful ways with their children's literacy development. Through our work with Latino immigrant parents, we found that parents, even with low literacy skills and not much formal schooling, have the desire and capacity to help with their children's literacy development. The parents were eager to help; they just needed tools.

Published: October 2022

During the Literacy Summit, a small group of teacher educators from across the state focused on literacy and literacy teacher education for English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL). Presentations of achievement test scores of English Language Learners (ELLs) at the state level mirrored those of ELLs at the national level. Both sets of test scores show evidence of achievement gaps between ELLs and other subgroups of students.

Measure for Measure: Exploring the Virtues of Vice Epistemology
Authors: Dalmiya Vrinda ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2022

Alessandra Tanesini’s The Mismeasure of the Self can be read as promoting non-ideal theory in epistemology. Tanesini articulates the virtue of intellectual humility (central for accurate self-assessment) in close connection with the human vices of superiority and inferiority. I begin by showing how her novel analysis that situates humility in a cluster of differently-functioning ‘attitudes’ enriches both the positive motivational resources and the pitfalls that a knower must negotiate. The proximity of virtues and vices in the conceptual map that constitutes humility, explains feminist claims of how subjects who are harmed as knowers can still flourish and even resist their cognitive marginalization. I then move on to critiquing Tanesini’s understanding of intellectual humility because it fails to be a truly ‘liberatory virtue.’ I suggest alternative ways of connecting intellectual humility to shame and hope that still remain true to Tanesini’s broader ethical context but make it potent for social justice. In spite of mindfulness of social context, Tanesini works with an epistemic selfhood bleached out of its historical and social embeddedness and hence, whose self-knowledge through humility does not involve the knowledge of the world and of others. Such an intellectual humility, I argue, cannot be justice-conducive.
Poetic Realism after the Liberation: Gender, Montmartre and Post-Occupation Memory in Macadam (1946)
Authors: Nevin Barry
Published: October 2022

Although generally overlooked by scholars, Macadam constitutes a key example of how filmmakers in post-war France attempted to lend continuity to 1930s oetic realist praxis. The present analysis suggests that Macadam’s aesthetics not only raise profound questions regarding the relationship between France’s pre-war and post-war identities, but also bear the creative imprint of the film’s artistic director, Jacques Feyder. In order to address each of these concerns, this article proceeds in three key stages. First, it illustrates the extent to which 1930s poetic realist working practices and generic conventions permeated cinema of the Liberation with reference to Feyder. Second, it considers the salience of poetic realist tropes within the film, paying particular attention to framing, setting and characterisation. Third, it discusses how the film’s representation of women contradicts the misogynistic tendencies in gender representation that characterised French cinema after the Liberation. This article ultimately aims to demonstrate that Macadam on the one hand, constitutes an extension of poetic realism’s visual style and gender politics, and on the other hand, extends Feyder’s own history of interrogating retrograde gender paradigms.
People and Nature: Xuefeng Chen's Cross-Cultural Garden
Authors: Silvester Rosalind
Published: October 2022

Xuefeng Chen, a Chinese-born artist who settled in France in 2003, is currently constructing the installation ‘Bô – le jardin imaginaire’ in a disused quarry near Dijon. She has so far created six of the planned twenty-one sculptures which will populate the main arena of the open-air site. An art gallery without walls, it epitomises Chen’s view of her aesthetic and personal philosophy of going beyond boundaries. Drawing on the transmedial, we provide, firstly, some historical and cultural context to her work by considering the long-established connections between Chinese gardens/landscapes and the arts, notably painting. As well as being a transnational artist in terms of her life trajectory, her works convey elements of both Western influences and Chinese culture and this is the focus of the remainder of the study. Correspondences between traditional Chinese gardens, in particular those created and enjoyed by the Chinese literati, may be detected and are integral to the artist’s principal objectives. Additionally, she creates a space that embodies the Chinese idea of you (‘wandering’), a complex term denoting both physical and/or spiritual movement that expresses her playful nature, along with her eagerness to interact with others and to bring others into contact with each other, resulting in a freedom that transcends boundaries. Consequently, we propose that her imaginary garden provides a site and opportunity for cross-cultural encounters and ‘everyday multiculturalism’ (Ang 2001, Wise 2010, Watson and Saha 2012) that have social, cultural and aesthetic purposes.
Clinical and Histopathological Factors in the Prognosis of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma- An Ambispective Study
Authors: Nekkanti Ravi
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Melanomas are the most dangerous among the different skin cancers, they can arise from a pre existing lesion or may arise de novo. Among the common skin cancers, melanoma is the most dangerous. It accounts for approximately 75% of all skin cancer-related deaths, although it comprises only 3% of all skin cancers diagnosed each year. The incidence of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma (CMM) is increasing worldwide faster than any other cancer. Aim: To study the clinical and histological factors in relation to the outcomes among patients diagnosed with the CMM in a tertiary care centre in Southern India. Materials and Methods: This ambispective study was conducted in Department of General Surgery at Shri BM Patil Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapura, Karnataka, India (tertiary care centre), from June 2001 to June 2016. A total of 87 patients, aged more than 18 years with histopathological evidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma and patients with more than 1 year of follow-up were enrolled in present study. Data obtained included sex, age at diagnosis, site over the body, histological subtype, Clark’s level, Breslow’s thickness, lymph nodal status (clinical and pathological), treatment received and status at the time of review. Descriptive statistics were presented as mean, median and standard deviation, Chi-square test was used for the analysis of qualitative variables and ‘t’ test was used for continuous variables. Results: The mean age in the present study (N=87) was 57±10 years with maximum cases 32 (36.78%) aged between 61-70 years, followed by the 22 (25.29%) case aged between 51-60 years and 18 (20.69%) aged between 41-50 years. Maximum patients, 27 (42.19%) In disease free group and 37 (57.81%) in non disease free group were aged >50 years. A total of 48 (55.17%) males patient and 39 (44.83%) females were included in present study. Out of total, 71 (81.6%) patients had primary lesion on the extremities and 16 (18.40%) patients had primary lesions on the trunk, head and neck. Ulceration was present in total 56 patients. Out of these 56 patients ulceration was present in 34 (60.71%) in non disease free group and in 22 (39.29%) in disease free group. Clark’s level was unknown for 23 patients. out of 64 patients, in disease free group, maximum patients 11 (78.57%) were in Clark’s level II, while in non disease free group maximum patients 13 (76.47%) were in Clark’s level IV followed by the 12 (63.16%) in Clark’s level III. Maximum cases 7 (63.63%) in disease free group were seen in <1 mm and 7 (41.18%) in 1.01-2 mm group. Conclusion: Significant relation between Clark’s levels and prognosis of the CMM was seen. The study also showed statistically significant association of Breslow’s thickness on prognosis. The common histologial type of malignant melanoma in the study was nodular type.
