Published: October 2020

Preliminary list of the bees of the Franche-Comté region (Hymenoptera, Anthophila). - This work synthesizes the knowledge of Hymenoptera Anthophila of our region, with the aim to establish the first list of species to assess regional biodiversity. Begun in 2016, it summarizes historical data contained in the collections of the Besançon Natural History Muséum, and extends to other data obtained throughout decades by multiple naturalist associations (OPIE-FC, CBNFC-ORI, CEN-FC, Réserves Naturelles…), educational institutions (LEGTA de Mancy et Montmorot, Lons-le Saunier, Jura), independent consultancy firms (ECOJURA Environnement-Insectes) and targeted contemporary research. Specific determinations were verified and validated in collaboration with several specialists, such as David Genoud, Éric Dufrêne, Matthieu Aubert and Christophe Praz, to whom we would like to express here our gratitude. The present work shows the presence of 275 species from the former Franche-Comté region : 189 from the Doubs, 55 from the Haute-Saône, 226 from the Jura and 1 from the Territoire de Belfort. This synthesis will certainly become quickly obsolete, after analysis of collections not yet studied and more recent inventories. Nevertheless, it aims to encourage entomologists to prospect, collect and identify specimens to improve knowledge and enable the implementation of a conservation strategy for our wild bees. In the future, this works could be extended to the new region of Bourgogne - Franche-Comté.

Published: October 2020

El compromiso cardíaco en la enfermedad de Still del adulto (ESA) usualmente se manifiesta como enfermedad pericárdica, la cual, generalmente, tiene un curso benigno. La miocarditis es una complicación infrecuente con una prevalencia del 7%. El diagnóstico de ESA se basa en los sets de criterios de Yamaguchi o Fautrel. El tratamiento con corticosteroides y metrotexato es la primera y segunda línea terapéutica, respectivamente, que combinados son efectivos en 70% de los casos. Reportamos un caso de ESA de presentación inusual por el compromiso tanto miocárdico como pericárdico.

Objective. To determine the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with short-term mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSD) after myocardial infarction (MI) at a national referral hospital.
Materials and methods. Descriptive, retrospective study of post-MI patients in whom short-term mechanical circulatory support devices were implanted from 2015 to 2020.
Results. Nine mechanical support devices were implanted, in the same number of patients due to cardiogenic shock post MI. All patients were men with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Eight extracorporeal membrane oxygenation devices (ECMO) and one centrifugal flow pump (in LVAD configuration) were implanted. The median time of use of the devices was eight days. The most frequent complications were non-fatal bleeding (55.6%), acute kidney injury (44.4%) and sepsis (44.4%).In-hospital mortality was 55.6 %.
Conclusions. The use of short term MCSD after myocardial infarction is still limited in our institution and its main representative is the ECMO post STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock. Despite the use of these devices, in-hospital mortality is high.

Objective. To evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, echocardiographic, microbiological characteristics and complications of patients with complicated infective endocarditis (IE) in a Peruvian refence hospital.
Material and methods. A retrospective, descriptive study was carried out reviewing the medical records of patients diagnosed with IE treated at Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular-INCOR between years 2012 and 2016; collecting clinical, imaging and laboratory variables.
Results. 59 cases were included, predominantly males (66.1%) and the median age was 50 years (IQR 37-62). The most frequent comorbidities were congenital heart disease (42.3%) and the presence of a prosthetic valve (23.7%). The most frequent sign found in the physical examination was fever (69.49%) and the most common symptom was dyspnea (52.5%). The proportion of positive blood cultures was 55.9%, and in 51.5% of these the isolated pathogen was Staphylococcus spp. The most affected valve was the aortic (72.8%), the most frequent finding by echocardiography was the presence of vegetations (91.5%). The most common complications were atrioventricular block (28.8%) and heart failure (22%). Overall, in-hospital mortality was 20.3%.
Conclusion. IE continues to be a challenging pathology, our clinical-epidemiological results are comparable to those found internationally, which reflect the change in the microbiology and in its epidemiology. However, despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, mortality remains unchanged.

Evaluation of the DPPH radical scavenging activity of Kadaliphala (Musa paradisiaca. Linn) and Go-Ksheera (Cow milk) W.S.R. to the concept of Samyoga Viruddha
Authors: K Shwetha , K Shobha Bhat
Published: October 2020

Certain diets and their combinations have properties opposite to the tissues of the body  which thereby inhibit and interrupt their normalcy and these are described as Viruddha Ahara (incompatible diets) in Ayurveda.  Various types of Viruddha Ahara have been described in the classical texts of Ayurveda and Samyoga Viruddha (incompatability due to the combination) is one among them. Among the various examples quoted for samyoga viruddha, combination of kadaliphala (Musa paradisiaca. Linn) and Go-Ksheera (Cow milk) is one. The present study discusses the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the individual items and the combination of banana and milk. Materials and methods: The antioxidant activities of banana, milk and combination of banana and milk was determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazine) radical scavenging assay in comparison with vitamin C standard. Results: The Percentage inhibition of the discoloration of DPPH by the sample extract was expressed against vitamin C standard. The % inhibition of banana was 62.86 whereas the milk was having 69.01% inhibition. The % inhibition of the combination was 46.21. Conclusion: DPPH radical scavenging activity of combination of kadaliphala (banana) and Go-Ksheera (milk) found a significant decrease in the percentage of inhibition when compared to the individual sample indicating towards the incompatibility in their combination or Samyoga Viruddha.
Understanding the Expansion of Latin America's New Social Welfare Regimes
Authors: Jamil Rehan Rafay
Published: October 2020

Latin American countries have been described as truncated welfare states. However, the recent expansion of innovative social welfare programs have brought millions of excluded citizens access to social benefits. This review article examines a new body of scholarship that studies how
democratic political competition has created the institutional context for social welfare expansion. This literature makes several important contributions to the study of distributive politics. It moves beyond regime type and party ideology and focuses on the nature of domestic political institutions
and citizen-state linkages within Latin American democracies. Countries with robust political competition and denser ties to constituents have had the most extensive welfare expansion, and non-partisan programs have undermined clientelism. In single party dominated settings, the political
incentives for informal and clientelist provision remains significant.
ALGORITHMIC LEGAL METRICS
Authors: Burk Dan
Published: October 2020

Predictive algorithms are increasingly being deployed in a variety of settings to determine legal status. Further applications have been proposed to determine civil and criminal liability or to “personalize” legal default rules. Deployment of such artificial intelligence systems has properly raised questions of algorithmic bias, fairness, transparency, and due process. But little attention has been paid to the known sociological costs of using predictive algorithms to determine legal status. Many of these interactions are socially detrimental, and such corrosive effects are greatly amplified by the increasing speed and ubiquity of digitally automated algorithmic systems. In this paper I link the sociological and legal analysis of AI, highlighting the reflexive social processes that are engaged by algorithmic metrics. Specifically, this paper shows how the problematic social effects of algorithmic legal metrics extend far beyond the concerns about accuracy that have thus far dominated critiques of such metrics. It additionally demonstrates that corrective governance mechanisms such as enhanced due process or transparency will be inadequate to remedy such corrosive effects, and that some such remedies, such as transparency, may actually exacerbate the worst effects of algorithmic governmentality. Third, the paper shows that the application of algorithmic metrics to legal decisions aggravates the latent tensions between equity and autonomy in liberal institutions, undermining democratic values in a manner and on a scale not previously experienced by human societies. Illuminating these effects casts new light on the inherent social costs of AI metrics, particularly the perverse effects of deploying algorithms in legal systems.
“TUMBLR TOLD ME…”: THE POLITICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF	CONCEPTUALIZING SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AS LIVING ACTORS
Authors: Morgenstern Michelle
Published: October 2020

This paper takes up the question of how “platform” can be understood when it comes to studies of digital discourse. I posit that this is an empirical and ethnographic question, rather than a purely theoretical one. Regardless of how scholars theorize social media platforms and other technologies, the people interacting with those technologies already have their own emic conceptualizations of what that technology is and how it functions and those understandings shape their social media experiences. This paper aims to explore the stakes of such local conceptualizations. I argue that many of tumblr.com's most active users conceptualize the social media platform as a living actor — a dynamic and agentive entity $2 whom these young people interact, rather than a space $2 which they interact or a medium $2 which they interact. Attending to this particular understanding of Tumblr-as-actor is crucial because it has so intimately shaped the processes by which my research participants have come to take up new political-ethical commitments and identities through their engagement with the platform. However, I suggest that new methodological approaches for the study of digital discourse are required if scholars are to truly take seriously an understanding of platform as agentive figure. To this end, I argue for the use of audio-visual screen capture technologies that concurrently record the content on a screen alongside the bodies of users themselves for analyzing in-the-moment interactions between user and platform.
WEB ARCHIVING AS CULTURE: TUMBLR AND THE CULTURAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE	ARCHIVED WEB
Authors: Ogden Jessica
Published: October 2020

Web archives - broadly conceived as any attempt to capture and preserve the Web for future use - are evermore central to discussions of digital access in the public sphere, as they provide tools for accessing parts of the Web that have been subject to neglect, removal or state and platform-based forms of content moderation and censorship. In this paper I discuss the cultural significance of web archiving through the example of Tumblr’s 2018 efforts to remove so-called ‘Not Safe for Work’ (NSFW) posts from the platform. The paper examines the archiving of Tumblr NSFW by Archive Team, a self-described ‘loose collective of rogue archivists, programmers, writers and loudmouths dedicated to saving our digital heritage’. Findings are presented through the concept of culture which provides a dual lens through which to understand web archiving practices as contingent upon the cultural worlds which they create and operate within. Here, web archiving as culture reveals the ways that practices shape (and are shaped by) online community membership, the nature of how and why the Web is archived and the reflexive significance participants place on their own web archival activities. The paper contributes to broader discussions of online community formation and raises further questions about the ethics and role of power in the production of web archives, as well as their positioning as historical representations of online cultures.
Attitudes of Bank Managers towards the Effect of Cultural Intelligence on Organizational Climate and the Process of Strategy Activation: With Special Reference to Commercial Banks in Erbil, Kurdistan Region
Authors: Mustafa Hussein Ahmad , Ebabekir Kosret Muhemed , Ismael Gibraeel Ahmed
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this research is to examine the attitudes of bank managers towards the effect of cultural intelligence on organizational climate and the process of strategy activation. A survey instrument comprising six constructs (cultural intelligence capabilities: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, behavioral capabilities, organizational climate, and strategy activation) was designed and administered to managers within 18 commercial banks in Erbil, the capital city of Iraqi Kurdistan Region. The empirical data were analyzed by using (PLS-SEM) path modeling to hypotheses testing. The research findings confirmed a positive and significant correlation between cultural intelligence key elements (metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral capabilities), and organizational climate. The findings indicated that cultural intelligence contributes to improving the organizational climate within commercial banks. The improved organizational climate within commercial banks, contributes to improving the process of strategy activation. This research contributes to improves the literature by representing that cultural intelligence stands as the base for improving organizational climate; thus, the improved organizational climate (as a result of cultural intelligence) contributes to improving the process of strategy activation.
What Can Machine Learning Tell Us About Intraday Price Patterns in a Frontier Stock Market?
Authors: Anghel Dan Gabriel
Published: October 2020

Quite a lot. On the one hand, it enables us to classify intraday patterns into 6 unique classes and to show how each class is related to several important market state variables. On the other hand, it enables us to identify the relevant set of variables and define a better model of the drivers of intraday patterns in a frontier stock market. Overall, our results show that intraday patterns in returns in the frontier stock market of Romania are mostly the result of risk, information flows, and spillover effects from more developed international markets. However, we find that low market efficiency and investor behavior also have a significant contribution. Among others, we identify signs of overreaction to information, irrational exuberance and “making the close” practices by different types of investors.

Numerous specialists and associations have invested energy into building managerial positioning frameworks by concentrating on various rules and different strategies. These frameworks produce various positions for establishment because of methodological contrasts that emerge from the determination of markers, loads, information assortment, and examination. This paper reports on the calculated and methodological contrasts in college positioning frameworks and focuses on the circumstance in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.The writing audit exhibits a bigger than anticipated requirement for a national positioning framework for Jordan to recognize the situation of a particular college contrasted with others. In a vital administration setting, policymakers need to create and send techniques related to the advanced education framework.The instance of the positioning of the executive’s divisions was analyzed to develop an establishment for a national field-based positioning framework. Therefore, a structure for positioning of the executive’s divisions in Jordanian colleges is proposed.

Factor-Based Quantitative Comparison Analysis of the Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage: A Case Study of Kunqu Opera between Chinese Mainland and Taiwan
Authors: Zhao Run
Published: October 2020

In 1940s, the Kuomintang (KMT) retreated to Taiwan, along with a lot of amateur artists accomplished in singing and dancing of Kunqu Opera. Due to unlike and separate social environments, Kunqu Opera developed into two different ways in Taiwan and Chinese mainland since then. In contrast with Taiwan’s choice to maintain the tradition of Kunqu Opera, especially that of 1930s as much as possible, Chinese mainland turns to modernize this art to cater to social trends. This paper analyses two versions of the same scene “Broken Bridge” (断桥) from Taiwan and Chinese mainland in spoken language, melody, literary form of lyrics, dance, stage set and costumes to try to find the factors that are not changed, which can be understood as the core factors with inherited cultural values of the intangible cultural heritage. Based on these core factors, the effective protection is possible. This research shows that although Kunqu Opera in Chinese mainland is gradually changing, particularly turning realistic as opposed to the one keeping impressionistic in Taiwan, there are some factors almost untransformed: the melody (kunqiang), literary form of lyrics (qupai style), costumes evolving from the dress of Ming dynasty. An effective protection method of Kunqu Opera should put emphasis on these factors.

An Analysis of State Reactions to the ILC’s Work on Crimes Against Humanity

The international community has been engaged with the topic of crimes against humanity since the International Law Commission (ILC) began work on it in 2013, with a view to draft articles for a future convention. Between 2013 and 2019, 86 States as well as several entities and subregional groups made comments on the ILC’s work at the United Nations Sixth Committee or through written comments to the ILC. This article is the culmination of the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute’s work cataloguing and analysing States’ comments by assigning each statement to one of five categories – strong positive, positive, neutral, negative, and strong negative – examining both specific words and the general tenor of the comments. This article analyses the development of States’ reactions to the ILC’s work over time, as well as specific issues that frequently arose, observing that there is a pattern of growing support from States to use the ILC’s Draft Articles on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes Against Humanity as the basis for a new convention.
Defining Crimes Against Humanity
Authors: deGuzman Margaret M.
Published: October 2020

Defining Crimes Against Humanity

Since crimes against humanity were first defined in the Charters of the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and for the Far East, various international, hybrid and national institutions have adopted definitions that differ in important respects. The International Law Commission’s draft articles are the latest definition, using language that is almost identical to the definition in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. This article explains that decision, as well as the few divergences between the draft articles and the Statute. Defining crimes against humanity involves balancing the value of respecting state sovereignty against that of protecting human rights, and the values of consistency and clarity against those of breadth and flexibility. It argues that in adopting the draft articles, states will affirm the balance among these values that was struck in Rome, but that both definitions contain sufficient flexibility to permit new balances to be found as global values evolve.
Unlocking the Sixth Committee’s Potential to Act for Crimes Against Humanity as It Did for Genocide

Unlocking the Sixth Committee’s Potential to Act for Crimes Against Humanity as It Did for Genocide

The International Law Commission, on completion of its work on the draft articles on prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity, recommended to the General Assembly the elaboration of a convention by the said Assembly or by an international conference of plenipotentiaries based on the said draft articles. The Sixth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly at the first opportunity only took note of the draft articles and postponed consideration of the recommendation to its next session. The resolution of the General Assembly, as recommended by the Sixth Committee, does not readily disclose the full extent of the debate, proposals and concerns expressed in the Sixth Committee that prevented the General Assembly from acting on the Commission’s recommendation. This article, in considering the cornucopia of views expressed by States, outlines a path to unlock the Sixth Committee’s potential to act, by proposing a separation of the organizational and substantive matters and future-proofing the further consideration of elaborating a convention through the adoption of a structured approach.

2020/15 Discrimination against severely disabled persons by the calculation of social plan compensation (GE)

The Federal Labour Court of Germany (Bundesarbeitsgericht, ‘BAG’) has decided that a social plan that distinguished between employees who were born in 1960 or later and employees who were born before 1960 for the calculation of severance payment did not constitute unjustified age discrimination. However, a regulation in a social plan which referred to the “earliest possible” entitlement to a statutory pension when calculating the severance payment constituted unjustified indirect discrimination against disabled persons.

2020/17 Capping of redundancy allowance in view of (future) entitlement to early retirement pension (NL)

The Supreme Court of the Netherlands has quashed a verdict of the Court of Appeal that held that a social plan provision stipulating the capping of a redundancy allowance in view of an entitlement to early retirement pension was invalid because of age discrimination. According to the Supreme Court, a more marginal justification test should have been applied to a social plan. The Court of Appeal, moreover, did not consider all the legitimate aims it specified and should also have taken additional social plan measures as well as pension measures from the past into account. By not doing so, it was not properly examined whether the social plan constituted age discrimination.

2020/20 Relationship between time of notification of collective redundancies and time of notice of termination (GE)

The notice of collective redundancies required to be given to an employment agency pursuant to Section 17(1) of the German Protection Against Unfair Dismissal Act (Kündigungsschutzgesetz, ‘KSchG’) can only be effectively submitted if the employer has already decided to terminate the employment contract at the time of its receipt by the employment agency. Notices of termination in collective redundancy proceedings are therefore effective – subject to the fulfilment of any other notice requirements – if the proper notice is received by the competent employment agency before the employee has received the letter of termination.

Published: October 2020

Crucial para o currículo de cursos de Computação, a programação é considerada um de seus tópicos mais difíceis, pois exige habilidades de abstração, raciocínio e representação. Em sua complexidade inerente, a atividade torna-se especialmente suscetível a falhas. Teorias como as de Vygostky tratam a reflexão sobre o erro como parte integrante do processo de aprendizagem. Dado que o potencial educador do erro costuma ser desperdiçado sob uma caracterização de viés negativo, indicando uma falha pessoal do aluno, este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar, através da realização de um experimento quantitativo com foco no Ensino Superior, o uso de portfólios na criação de relatos que promovam a reflexão sobre erros cometidos em disciplinas de programação. O estudo, realizado em duas instituições de ensino, indicou efeitos positivos sobre os estudantes, que passaram tanto a registrar suas atividades diárias no portfólio quanto a desassociar os erros cometidos de uma possível inaptidão ou falta de empenho.

Reduction of Ovarian Radiation Dose and Image Quality Disruptive Effects: New Constructed Shields for CT Scanning of Abdomen and Pelvis
Authors: Bagheri Mehran , Azimi Aval Mohammad Reza
Published: October 2020

Background: Cumulative dose of ovary as a radiosensitive organ during abdominal and pelvic CT scan imaging is still a controversial challenge that requires practical dose reduction strategies. Although bismuth shields can reduce the dose in the right proportions, their use is controversial due to the reduced image quality. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the performance of a new combination of X-ray absorber structures that have less effect on image quality parameters. Methods: First, various shields with different weight percentages of Cu and Bi were made, then the percentage of dose reduction and image quality were evaluated via phantoms. Finally, Shield with the least effect on image quality was evaluated for clinical evaluation on 20 patients. Results: Shielding with thicknesses of 1T and 3T reduced the Entrance skin dose of ovarian by about 52% and 73%, respectively. Shields with 90% cu-10% Bi and 100% Bi structures had the least and most destructive effects on image quality, respectively, and also have the same image quality. The 10% Bi-90% Cu shield provided a 21% greater dose reduction than the bismuth shield. Also, this 1T thick shield did not create an artifact in the reconstructed images. Conclusions: Shields are flexible, inexpensive, and user-friendly for ovarian shielding in abdominal and pelvic CT scans. Unlike bismuth shields, shields do not have the detrimental effects of image quality degradation.
History as the Organon of Philosophy
Authors: Páez Bonifaci Jacinto ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2020

In recent years, the Neo-Kantian movement has received wide acknowledgment as the hidden origin of several contemporary philosophical discussions. This paper focuses on one specific Neo-Kantian topic; namely, the idea of history put forward by Wilhelm Windelband (1848-1915). Even though this topic could be seen as one of the better-known Neo-Kantianism themes, there are certain unnoticed elements in Windelband’s treatment of history that merit further discussion. While the texts in which Windelband deals with the logical problems of the historical sciences have been studied at length, other texts, those in which history is studied in connection with the problem of the philosophical method, have not. This paper argues that, for Windelband, history is not merely an object of epistemological reflection but rather a key component of transcendental philosophy.

Authors: Šuvaković Uroš
Published: October 2020

The paper considers the use of the term "social distance" during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is indicated that the term has been uncritically adopted by the scientific medical-epidemiological and public discourse from sociology, and that its subject and content of the concept are essentially different. An argument is proposed for the thesis that such situation was caused, on one hand, by the failure to apply the concretely dialecticallogical rules of definition and, on the other hand, due to ideological attitudes about individualism which are common both to neoliberalism and neoconservatism. The article emphasizes the need to replace the concept of "social distance" in epidemiology with the concept of "physical distance" or just "distance" or "space".

As transformações oriundas pós-revolução industrial seguem ecoando em nossa sociedade, permitindo avanços na área de tecnologia, produção e consumo de produtos em diferentes segmentos, em especial o da moda. Diante disto, o presente artigo propõe compreender, de forma inicial e conceitual, a utilização do espaço Fashion lab por designers autorais de moda. Considera-se que o uso desse laboratório pode qualificar o processo de inovação durante a produção de novos produtos. Neste trabalho, utilizou-se a pesquisa básica com abordagem qualitativa descritiva e a fundamentação teórica contempla os conceitos de inovação, fab lab, Fashion lab e design autoral. Por fim, os resultados da pesquisa indicam que os princípios de compartilhamento, experimentação e prototipação corroboram para a inovação no design autoral de moda em fashion labs.

Current Trends in Buffalo Milk Production
Authors: Zicarelli Luigi
Published: October 2020

Between 1961 and 2018 on the total number of dairy ruminants, the percentage of buffaloes and the quantity of milk produced by them had an increasing trend from 3.7% to 5.2% and from 5.4 to 15.7%, respectively; this value on the world total "cow milk + buffalo milk" rose to 18.64%.
In the Asian continent, buffaloes' incidence on the total number of dairy ruminants increased slightly (from 10.2% to 11.7%) while the percentage of cattle fell from 38% to 26.4%. In the same period, the percentage of buffalo milk decreased from 44.6% to 36.9%, while cow milk shares increased from 55.4% to 63%.
The percentage of milk produced in Pakistan, India, Nepal (after 2010), and especially in Egypt showed a downward trend. In Italy, the trend has always been increasing.
The market price of buffalo milk in developing countries does not compensate for costs which are 15% higher than cow's milk, if only the cost of feeding is considered, and increases to 40% when the difference in kg of milk equivalent between the two species is about 900 kg per lactation. A reduction of the production gap between the two species is difficult to be achieved because the genetic improvement of dairy cattle is performed in industrialized countries with higher financial support. Therefore, a marketing effort is needed to make well-differentiated buffalo products with specific and well-received sensory properties. In this regard, it should also be noted that δ-valerobetaine, a bioactive molecule beneficial for human health, is present in buffalo milk and meat in higher quantities than in cow's milk.
Nielsen’s Saul and David and Italian Opera
Authors: Muntoni Paolo
Published: October 2020

In this essay, I focus on the music-cultural context in which Carl Nielsen’s Saul and David (1899–1901) was composed, as Nielsen approached the operatic genre for the first time. This will cast new light on his independence and originality, but also offer the possibility for some seemingly unlikely comparisons, revealing that the work is more tightly integrated with Nielsen’s broader European musical experience than has previously seemed – especially as an alternative to naturalism. I therefore consider the Italian context before, during and after the rise of verismo, focusing particularly on the anti-naturalism debate, to which Saul og David also belongs. Nielsen’s work follows a path that parallels the shift from the so-called noir dramas of the 1880s to the work of Ildebrando Pizzetti, via the almost completely unknown operas of Antonio Smareglia. Unusual as it may be, I believe that this comparison will support the idea of a composer who, while working in the genre of musical drama, was in constant dialogue with his European contemporaries.
Nielsen and Gade. Landmarks of Musical Denmarks
Authors: Eskildsen Karsten
Published: October 2020

The article describes, examines, and to some extent interprets the relationship between Nielsen and his 48-years-older teacher and colleague, Niels W. Gade. It includes a tidying-up of previous descriptions and biographical notes – including Nielsen’s own – and highlights the professional connections between the two during the seven years they knew each other. Also, the article makes a comparison between the two with regard to their respective careers and ambitions: Gade as a romantic, and Nielsen on the brink of modernism. The article concludes that even though Nielsen dissociated himself from the Gade legacy at a young age, the older composer nevertheless became a role model with respect to artistic ambitions and to the demands of a composer with high standards.
Public communication campaigns as mundane category
Authors: Almlund Pernille , Andersen Nina Blom , Halkier Bente , Schrøder Kim Christian
Published: October 2020

This article examines the public connection and understanding of public communication campaigns. Public communication campaigns are widespread, but the audience dimension of the campaign category itself is still a blind spot in research. Drawing on focus group interviews and a survey among Danish citizens, the article shows that public campaigns are recognized as a mundane communicative category. Moreover, drawing on theories of public connection and governmentality, we show how citizens receive and resist, accept and negotiate public campaigns.
A digital public sphere:
Authors: Sakariassen Hilde
Published: October 2020

Social network sites (SNS) have the potential of providing new and more egalitarian spaces for public deliberation, and researchers, media and politicians often discuss them in those terms. Still, little attention is given to how ordinary users perceive SNS as spaces for public deliberation. This study addresses this gap by investigating how SNS generally are perceived by the users as potential spaces for public deliberation and if this perception is conditioned by demographic characteristics, such as age, gender, level of education, use of Twitter, and activity in SNS. The study draws on users of SNS in a nationally representative survey from Norway (N=1699). The results show signifi cant diff erences in the perception of SNS as spaces for public deliberation according to both demographic characteristics and activity. More importantly, even if people are aware of SNS being portrayed as spaces for public deliberation, few are found to use them in such a way.
Narrative video game aesthetics and egocentric ethics
Authors: Kjeldgaard-Christiansen Jens
Published: October 2020

This article argues that video gaming allows for player-focused (egocentric) moral experience that can be distinguished from the other-focused (allocentric) moral experience that characterizes literature and film. Specifically, a Deweyan perspective reveals that video games aff ord fi rst-personal rehearsals of moral scenarios that parallel how, in real life, individuals mentally rehearse the diff erent courses of moral action available to them. This functional equivalence is made possible because the aesthetics of video games bear unique affinities to the human moral imagination. However, whereas the moral imagination may be limited in terms of the complexity and vividness of its analog imaginings, the ethically notable video game may draw on the medium’s digital capacities in order to stage elaborate and emotionally compelling ethical rehearsals. The article concludes by applying this perspective to the ethically notable video game Undertale.
