UNGKAPAN KEMPONAN DAN MAKNA SIMBOLIS TENTANG MAKANAN PADA MASYARAKAT KALIMANTAN BARAT (KEMPONAN EXPRESSION AND MEANING OF SYMBOLS ON THE FOOD OF THE PEOPLES OF WEST KALIMANTAN)
Authors: Nindwihapsari NFN
Published: September 2020

In anthropology, food is considered as cultural phenomenon that bears meaning and has four symbolic function, such as social, group solidarity, food and soul tense, and symbolism of food in language. To enhance symbolic meaning of food, these functions were sometimes linked to beliefs and superstitions supported by sanction, that is superstitious and concrete punishment. The sanction took its form in kemponan expression. Kemponan is the belief of the society of West Kalimantan that emerge in the context of ignoring food and beverages offer to someone. In the culture of offering food and beverages, it is believed that person a who did not touch one serving that was offered, will meet disaster. This writting slightly discussed about kemponan expression in cultural perspective. The methods used is qualitative descriptive.  Source of the data is oral and written one. Source of oral data gained by observation, while written one gathered by scripts of folk tales that has been published. The technique of data collecting of the oral and written data are interview and taking notes. Finally, the writting is narrowed down to an insight that an expression, despite assumed as a media to express sense and sensibility, may show cultural events in each region, like kemponan expression that took root in oral tradition of West Kalimantan society.

Authors: Seery Katy , Barreda Albert , Hein Stephanie , Hiller Jokima
Published: September 2020

The purpose of this paper is to examine online retention research in higher education over a 5-year span (January 2015–March 2019) to further advance research in higher education retention. Through an academic database search, 18 articles were collected from EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and Research Gate using combinations of the keywords online, retention strategies, and higher education. All articles were analyzed for proposed retention strategies. Retention is a global topic. As such, this study demonstrates the importance of retention and clarifies issues or challenges students encounter, which may cause lower retention rates. The data reviewed suggest the most common retention issues or strategies involved student factors/motivation as well as faculty and student interactions. Common retention strategies most often included enhancing faculty training and/or support and adding student services positions and/or support.
Consuming history in a political context: Motivations of Turkish visitors of the Gallipoli Battlefields
Authors: Topçu Ulvi Cenap
Published: September 2020

Certain unconventional tourism activities such as visiting battlefields, old prisons, or crash sites encompass dark tourism and have become the focus of scholarly pursuit. The term was established in relation to the Gallipoli Battlefields; which has been examined mostly in the context of its importance to Australian and New Zealander national identities. As represented by numerous memorials and well-established historical narration, the Battle in Gallipoli is credited as one of the most important representations of Turkish nationality. This research aims to investigate the motivations of Turkish visitors to Gallipoli in terms of consumption experiences and to clarify empirically motivations of Turkish visitors to Gallipoli. An explorative questionnaire was directed to respondents via e-mail, and analyses were conducted with 236 valid forms. Data supports that rather than personal motivation, visiting Gallipoli reflects politically constructed meanings for Turkish visitors. Gallipoli narration is therefore eligibly expounded as national rhetoric and motivations for visiting the site are compatible with group consumption behavior.
Automated precipitation monitoring with the Thies disdrometer: biases and ways for improvement
Authors: Fehlmann Michael , Rohrer Mario , von Lerber Annakaisa , Stoffel Markus
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The intensity and phase of precipitation at the ground surface can have important implications not only for meteorological and hydrological situations but also in terms of hazards and risks. In the field, Thies disdrometers are sometimes used to monitor the quantity and nature of precipitation with high temporal resolution and very low maintenance and thus provide valuable information for the management of meteorological and hydrological risks. Here, we evaluate the Thies disdrometer with respect to precipitation detection, as well as the estimation of precipitation intensity and phase at a pre-alpine site in Switzerland (1060 m a.s.l.), using a weighing precipitation gauge (OTT pluviometer) and a two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) as a reference. We show that the Thies disdrometer is well suited to detect even light precipitation, reaching a hit rate of around 95 %. However, the instrument tends to systematically underestimate rainfall intensities by 16.5 %, which can be related to a systematic underestimation of the number of raindrops with diameters between 0.5 and 3.5 mm. During snowfall episodes, a similar underestimation is observed in the particle size distribution (PSD), which is, however, not reflected in intensity estimates, probably due to a compensation by snow density assumptions. To improve intensity estimates, we test PSD adjustments (to the 2DVD) and direct adjustments of the resulting intensity estimates (to the OTT pluviometer), the latter of which are able to successfully reduce the systematic deviations during rainfall in the validation period. For snowfall, the combination of the 2DVD and the OTT pluviometer seems promising as it allows for improvement of snow density estimates, which poses a challenge to all optical precipitation measurements. Finally, we show that the Thies disdrometer and the 2DVD agree well insofar as the distinction between rain and snowfall is concerned, such that an important prerequisite for the proposed correction methods is fulfilled. Uncertainties mainly persist during mixed-phase precipitation or low precipitation intensities, where the assignment of precipitation phase is technically challenging, but less relevant for practical applications. We conclude that the Thies disdrometer is suitable not only to estimate precipitation intensity but also to distinguish between rain and snowfall. The Thies disdrometer therefore seems promising for the improvement of precipitation monitoring and the nowcasting of discharge in pre-alpine areas, where considerable uncertainties with respect to these quantities are still posing a challenge to decision-making.
Examining the link between vegetation leaf area and land–atmosphere exchange of water, energy, and carbon fluxes using FLUXNET data
Authors: Hoek van Dijke Anne J. , Mallick Kaniska , Schlerf Martin , Machwitz Miriam , Herold Martin , Teuling Adriaan J.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Vegetation regulates the exchange of water, energy, and carbon fluxes
between the land and the atmosphere. This regulation of surface fluxes
differs with vegetation type and climate, but the effect of vegetation on
surface fluxes is not well understood. A better knowledge of how and when
vegetation influences surface fluxes could improve climate models and the
extrapolation of ground-based water, energy, and carbon fluxes. We aim to
study the link between vegetation and surface fluxes by combining the yearly
average MODIS leaf area index (LAI) with flux tower measurements of water
(latent heat), energy (sensible heat), and carbon (gross primary
productivity and net ecosystem exchange). We show that the correlation
of the LAI with water and energy fluxes depends on the vegetation type and
aridity. Under water-limited conditions, the link between the LAI and the water and
energy fluxes is strong, which is in line with a strong stomatal or
vegetation control found in earlier studies. In energy-limited forest we
found no link between the LAI and water and energy fluxes. In contrast to water
and energy fluxes, we found a strong spatial correlation between the LAI and
gross primary productivity that was independent of vegetation type and
aridity. This study provides insight into the link between vegetation and
surface fluxes. It indicates that for modelling or extrapolating surface
fluxes, the LAI can be useful in savanna and grassland, but it is only of
limited use in deciduous broadleaf forest and evergreen needleleaf forest to
model variability in water and energy fluxes.
Earth System Economics: a bio-physical approach to the human component of the Earth System
Authors: Galbraith Eric
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The study of humans has largely been carried out in isolation from the study of the non-human Earth system. This isolation has encouraged the development of incompatible philosphical, aspirational, and methodological approaches that have proven very difficult to integrate with those used for the non-human remainder of the Earth system. Here, an approach is laid out for the scientific study of humans that is intended to facilitate integration with non-human processes by striving for a consistent physical basis, for which the name Earth System Economics is proposed. The approach is typified by a foundation on bio-physical state variables, quantification of time allocation amongst available activities at the population level, and an orientation towards measuring human experience. A suitable framework is elaborated, which parses the Earth system into four classes of state variables, including a neural class that would underpin many societal features. A working example of the framework is then illustrated with a simple numerical model, considering a global population that is engaged in one of two waking activities: provisioning food, or doing something else. The two activities are differentiated by their motivational factors, outcomes on state variables, and associated subjective experience. Although the illustrative model is a gross simplification of reality, the results suggest a simple relationship to predict first order changes in the human population size, and how neural characteristics and subjective experience can robustly emerge from model dynamics, including transient golden ages. The approach is intended to provide a flexible and widely-applicable strategy for understanding the human-Earth system, appropriate for physically-based assessments of the past and present, as well as long-term model projections that are oriented towards improving human well-being.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. Long-term time series are a fundamental prerequisite to understanding and
detecting climate shifts and trends. Understanding the complex interplay of
changing ocean variables and the biological implication for marine
ecosystems requires extensive data collection for monitoring, hypothesis
testing, and validation of modelling products. In marginal seas, such as the
Mediterranean Sea, there are still monitoring gaps, both in time and in
space. To contribute to filling these gaps, an extensive dataset of
dissolved inorganic nutrient observations (nitrate, phosphate, and
silicate) was collected between 2004 and 2017 in the western
Mediterranean Sea and subjected to rigorous quality control techniques to
provide to the scientific community a publicly available, long-term, quality-controlled, internally consistent biogeochemical data product. The data
product includes 870 stations of dissolved inorganic nutrients, including
temperature and salinity, sampled during 24 cruises. Details of the quality
control (primary and secondary quality control) applied are reported. The
data are available in PANGAEA (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.904172,
Belgacem et al., 2019).
Boundary|Time|Surface: assessing a meeting of art and geology through an ephemeral sculptural work
Authors: Lancaster Sydney A. , Waldron John W. F.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Boundary|Time|Surface was an ephemeral, site-specific sculpture created to draw
attention to the construction of social, political, scientific, and aesthetic boundaries that divide the Earth; one such practice is the scientific subdivision of geologic time. The sculpture comprised a 150 m fence along
the international stratotype separating Ordovician from Cambrian strata in
Gros Morne National Park, Canada. The fence was constructed by hand within 1 d, on a falling tide, from materials found on site, with minimal
environmental impact. During the following tidal cycles, it was dismantled
by wave and tide action. This cycle of construction and destruction was
documented with time-lapse photography and video and brought to the public
through exhibitions, public talks, and a book. Exhibitions derived from the
documentation of ephemeral works function as translations of the original
experience. In this case, they provided opportunities for public interaction
with media that served both as aesthetic objects and as sources of
information about the site's geological and sociopolitical history. We
assess the role of the installation, and its documentation, in drawing public attention to boundaries, and examine responses including attendance records and written visitor comments as indications of the viewers' engagement with the concepts presented. Of several thousand visitors to exhibitions, 418 written
comments reflected the viewers' engagement with both the location and the
underlying concepts. Both the original installation and the subsequent work
allowed audiences to explore human understanding and acquisition of
knowledge about the Earth and how world-views inform the process of
scientific inquiry.
Ramener la justice sociale au centre de la carte : propositions pour un renouvellement critique de la cartographie participative axée sur l'empowerment
Authors: Barella Jennifer
Published: September 2020

Abstract. This paper discusses the need for a deeper critical interrogation of participatory mapping (PM) method as a tool for social justice. This stance is informed by the author's involvement in a NGO and community-led PM project in an informal settlement in Khayelitsha (Cape Town, South Africa). The paper argues that academic PM literature is ill-equipped to truly examine its potential for social justice. Firstly, this is due to the PM empowerment framework having shifted from an emancipatory aim to a governing tool. Secondly, this shift does not allow for the consideration of the power relations inherent to PM to be engaged with. This paper concludes by engaging the three epistemological and postcolonial roots of PM in order to provide a starting point for (re)centering PM on social justice.
A geophone-based and low-cost data acquisition and analysis system designed for microtremor measurements
Authors: Kafadar Ozkan
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The commercial data acquisition instruments designed for three-component microtremor measurements are usually very expensive devices. In this paper, a low-cost, computer-aided, and geophone-based system designed to record, monitor, and analyze three-component microtremor data is presented. This proposed system is not a simple data acquisition system. It is also an integrated system developed to interpret the microtremor data using the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (H ∕ V) method without any external software. Therefore, the H ∕ V peak frequency and amplitude can be easily estimated using this system. The proposed system has several features such as a 200 Hz sampling frequency, approximately 72 dB dynamic range, text data format, and data analysis tools. This system consists of a graphical user interface developed by using the .NET Framework 4.5.2 and external hardware that includes signal conditioning circuits, voltage converter circuit, external analog-to-digital converter, and Arduino Uno board. The proposed system uses low-cost vertical and horizontal geophones with a 4.5 Hz natural frequency to measure three-component microtremor data. The developed software undertakes many tasks such as communication between the external hardware and computer, transferring, monitoring, and recording the seismic data to the computer, and interpretation of the recorded data using the Nakamura method. Channel consistency and internal noise measurement tests were performed to demonstrate the accuracy and precision of the proposed system. The proposed system was compared to a commercial triaxial digital seismograph, and satisfactory results were obtained. The developed system is a completely open-source and open-hardware system and can be easily used in academic studies conducted by researchers and university students who are interested in seismic ambient noise analysis.
INTERACTING WITH 3D MODELS – 3D-CAD VS. HOLOGRAPHIC MODELS
Authors: Navratil G. , Konturek P. , Giannopoulos I.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. A problem with 3D models is that devices used to display them are typically two-dimensional, i.e., computer monitors or printed maps. User interfaces of computer software are based on mouse, touchscreen, keyboards, etc. and are optimized for this dimensionality. However, this causes problems when working with 3D models and the user must adapt her actions by interpreting the missing third dimension. While this might not necessarily pose a problem for frequent users, infrequent users may find this quite challenging. Holographic models, on the other hand, float in front of the user, providing a 3D perspective. Interaction with this kind of models may thus be more intuitive than traditional interaction. In the paper we present the results from a first user test. 15 participants tested interaction with a holographic model visualized using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The results were compared to those of 15 participants using a traditional 3D-CAD. It was found that the holographic approach is more intuitive leading to a lower frustration level although it is still restricted by technical limitations.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. As web applications become more popular, 3D city models would greatly benefit from a proper web-based solution to visualise and manage them. CityJSON was introduced as a JSON encoding of the CityGML data model and promises, among several benefits, the ability to be integrated with modern web technologies. In order to provide an implementation of a web application for CityJSON data, that can be used as a reference for other applications, we developed ninja. It is a web application that allows the user to easily load and investigate a CityJSON model through a web browser. In addition, it offers support for a complex feature of CityJSON: the experimental versioning mechanism. In this paper, we describe the motivation, requirements, technical aspects and achieved functionality of ninja. We believe that such a web application can facilitate the adoption of 3D city models by more practitioners and decision makers.
RECONCILING CITY MODELS WITH BIM IN KNOWLEDGE GRAPHS: A FEASIBILITY STUDY OF DATA INTEGRATION FOR SOLAR ENERGY SIMULATION
Authors: Huang W. , Olsson P.-O. , Kanters J. , Harrie L.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Solar energy simulations are used to quantify the potential of the passive use (daylight, solar gains) and the active use (photovoltaics and solar thermal) of solar energy. The simulations can be performed at different scales e.g. buildings, neighbourhoods and cities, with different requirements on the data. For example, for the neighbourhood simulations we need simplified building geometries that can be retrieved from city models, and window information that can be extracted from BIM models (as in many cases window information is missing in city models). In this context, city models and BIM need to be integrated and reconciled. In this paper, we investigate two approaches to integrate and retrieve such information in a case study, where the BIM data is stored in IFC and the city model in CityGML (LOD2). The first approach is to perform a schema matching in an ETL tool, so as to convert and import window information from the IFC file into the CityGML model to create a LOD2-3 building model. We also investigate an alternative avenue, namely a semantic web approach, in which both the BIM and city models are transformed into knowledge graphs (linked data). City models and BIM utilize their respective but interlinked domain ontologies. Particularly, two ontologies are investigated for BIM data, i.e., the ifcOWL ontology and the building topology ontology (BOT). This paper compares different paths of such integrative data retrieval, as well as discloses the gaps mainly with the semantic web approach to further unlock its potential.
PHOTOGRAMMETRIC 3D INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MODELS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
Authors: Corniello L.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. The research on 3D photogrammetric information systems, for the management of digital models of Cultural Heritage, addresses several objectives in the field of digitization and three-dimensional modeling of heritage. The study is conducted through detailed and accurate photographic and iconographic documentation, survey and digital documentation with accessible models. The present work, therefore, proposes to document and reconstruct graphically, the historical evolution of the Hvar Tvrdalj Fortress in Croatia through a series of digital drawings, but especially 3d photogrammetric modeling systems of outdoor spaces. Particular attention was paid to the digital modeling activities of the fishpond, located inside the fortified structure. The activity of representation of the Fortress of Hvar Tvrdalj was set up by providing, in an initial phase, the execution of a basic survey extended to the architectural organisms and the surrounding green space in order to define a first two-dimensional geometric model; then, in a second phase, were made the survey graphs and the consequent graphic restitution with the measurements of architectural details and the complete survey of the inner tank. The research, therefore, presents for the first time, a scientific study of photogrammetric digital survey developed through the creation of 3D digital models on a structure of great architectural and landscape interest, as well as a cornerstone of the island of Hvar for local tourism.
INTEGRATION OF IOT SENSORS TO 3D INDOOR MODELS WITH INDOORGML
Authors: Sarmiento A. , Diakité A. A.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Sensors are the vehicle through which Internet of Things (IoT) applications collect timely data of which are communicated to objects, or “Things”, to make them aware of their environment. With multiple sensors within an IoT system sending continuous streams of data, the potential scale of data is large, so efficient data management and useful representation is a key concern. As the information required from sensors benefit from a spatial context, 3D indoor models, such as IndoorGML, have been identified to support this condition. As it stands, a standardised structure to the amalgamation of sensors with IndoorGML has not been defined. The goal of this paper is to explore this opportunity by firstly, reviewing previous approaches to the integration of the two systems. Research into the interpretations of sensor information through existing standards is conducted before narrowing these attributes down into a minimal profile according to identified functional requirements of sensor applications. Finally, this knowledge is organised into a conceptual data model and presented as a thematic module in IndoorGML.
THE VIRTUALIZATION OF CH FOR HISTORICAL RECONSTRUCTION: THE AR FRUITION OF THE FOUNTAIN OF ST. GEORGE SQUARE IN VALLETTA (MALTA)
Authors: Scianna A. , Gaglio G. F. , Grima R. , La Guardia M.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Improving accessibility to Cultural Heritage (CH) is an increasingly urgent challenge today. It is not only a matter of physical inaccessibility but also temporal, considering that part of CH now lost. Fortunately, the most modern technological tools are helping to break down both space and time barriers. In facts, recent advances in representation, 3D modelling and survey methodologies opened new scenarios for valorization and conservation of CH. In particular, the improvement of quality in resolution and sensor sensitivity of cameras allowed to achieve the right level of 3D reconstruction through digital photogrammetry procedures. In the same field, terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) allowed acquiring dense point clouds of complex environments with a millimetric level of accuracy. At the same time, the application of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies is an excellent solution for improving the accessibility to monuments, museums and archaeological sites. It is possible to share new levels of information about CH, in space and time, for touristic, managerial and scientific aims. This work is focused on the virtualization of CH, considering the study case of the fountain of Wignacourt, today present in St. Philip Garden in Floriana and initially located in Valletta (Malta). The application presented allows the virtual fruition of the monument placed in its original location, St. George Square. A simplified plant of the square will enable tourists to make a temporal journey in the past with their mobile device. The work is part of the Interreg Italia-Malta European project named I-Access, dedicated to the improvement of CH accessibility. It focuses the attention to the experimentation of new specific procedures in Geomatics necessary to solve big data issues of complex environment visualization.
KNOWLEDGE MODELING FOR HERITAGE CONSERVATION PROCESS: FROM SURVEY TO HBIM IMPLEMENTATION
Authors: Di Stefano F. , Gorreja A. , Malinverni E. S. , Mariotti C.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. This paper aims to develop a strategy for architectural knowledge modeling in order to actively support the built heritage conservation process by fostering collaboration among stakeholders and interoperability between datasets. The integration of two modeling systems, one ontology-based and one in BIM environment, seems to be the right way to meet this objective: the former is rather exhaustive to represent the semantic contents of conservation activities, especially non-geometrical data, the latter is absolutely suitable to represent the logic of the construction, above all geometrical-constructive aspects typical of any architectural organism. Thus, this study proposes a side-by-side approach to synchronize these different ways of representing reality by managing the complexity of cultural heritage on the one hand and of technology tools, such as information systems, on the other. The proposed methodology was tested on the city walls of San Ginesio (Macerata, Italy) and included different steps considering the in-use technologies (notably geomatics and information technologies) as key enablers to acquire, hierarchically order, model and enrich the knowledge of that heritage site. The result is a knowledge-led strategy moving from survey to HBIM implementation, as a way to enhance representation and management in architectural heritage processes.
THE EUROSDR GEOBIM PROJECT – DEVELOPING CASE STUDIES FOR THE USE OF GEOBIM IN PRACTICE
Authors: Ellul C. , Noardo F. , Harrie L. , Stoter J.
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Although the use of location-based data (location coupled with semantic information) within Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and from Earth Observation (e.g. satellite) sources has been long established for decision makers, this has only recently been reflected in the construction sector with a more recent move from Computer Aided Design (CAD) to Building Information Modelling. BIM has opened up an additional source of valuable location-based data, with particular focus on the architecture, structural and engineering detail of both buildings and infrastructure projects. As with most if not all location data, while BIM can be used on its own, major benefits are to be derived from integration with other data sources. When this is done with GIS, the result is known as GeoBIM and although there are some similarities between the two, challenges to integration are both technical and non technical, in particular the need for clear case studies to motivate both developers and senior management. There are synergies to be gained from a multi-national, coordinated approach when addressing these challenges, where participants can benefit from each-others’ experience and where the needs of users and the National Mapping and Cadastral Agency (NMCA) perspective underpin the research. This paper summarises final outcomes and findings of the EuroSDR GeoBIM research project, which was set up to provide the required multi-national, user-centric collaborative framework, which had as its overall aim the development of best practice guidelines for GeoBIM, and due to its situation within EuroSDR has an NMCA focus. The paper updates information with regard to GeoBIM projects and maturity in the participant countries, and provides an overview of the two case studies developed.
Unintended importation of tropical jumping spiders (Salticidae) into a laboratory monkey colony via banana supply

Abstract. This report describes a case of unintended importation of tropical baby
jumping spiders to a laboratory monkey colony. The spiders were detected in
a cocoon attached to a banana for monkey consumption. In identifying the
family of spiders as jumping spiders (Salticidae), it turned out that these spiders
would not have been venomous to humans and they most likely would not have
had the potential to establish a new spider colony in the facility.
Data acquisition by digitizing 2-D fracture networks and topographic lineaments in geographic information systems: further development and applications
Authors: Palamakumbura Romesh , Krabbendam Maarten , Whitbread Katie , Arnhardt Christian
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Understanding the impact of fracture networks on rock mass properties
is an essential part of a wide range of applications in geosciences
from understanding permeability of groundwater aquifers and
hydrocarbon reservoirs to erodibility properties and slope stability
of rock masses for geotechnical engineering. However, gathering high-quality, oriented-fracture datasets in the field can be difficult and
time-consuming, for example, due to constraints on field work time or
access (e.g. cliffs). Therefore, a method for obtaining accurate,
quantitative fracture data from photographs is a significant
benefit. In this paper we describe a method for generating a series of
digital fracture traces in a geographic information system (GIS) environment, in which spatial analysis
of a fracture network can be carried out. The method is not meant to
replace the gathering of data in the field but to be used in
conjunction with it, and it is well suited when field work time is limited or
when the section cannot be accessed directly. The basis of the method
is the generation of the vector dataset (shapefile) of a fracture
network from a georeferenced photograph of an outcrop in a GIS
environment. From that shapefile, key parameters such as fracture
density and orientation can be calculated. Furthermore, in the
GIS environment more complex spatial calculations and graphical plots
can be carried out such as heat maps of fracture density. Advantages
and limitations compared to other fracture network capture methods are
discussed.
Strain response and energy dissipation of floating saline ice under cyclic compressive stress
Authors: Wei Mingdong , Polojärvi Arttu , Cole David M. , Prasanna Malith
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Understanding the mechanical behavior of sea ice is the
basis of applications of ice mechanics. Laboratory-scale work on saline ice has
often involved dry, isothermal ice specimens due to the relative ease of
testing. This approach does not address the fact that the natural sea ice is
practically always floating in seawater and typically has a significant
temperature gradient. To address this important issue, we have developed
equipment and methods for conducting compressive loading experiments on
floating laboratory-prepared saline ice specimens. The present effort
describes these developments and presents the results of stress-controlled
sinusoidal cyclic compression experiments. We conducted the experiments on
dry, isothermal (−10 ∘C) ice specimens and on floating-ice specimens
with a naturally occurring temperature gradient. The experiments involved
ice salinities of 5 and 7 ppt, cyclic stress levels ranging from 0.04–0.12 to 0.08–0.25 MPa and cyclic loading frequencies of 0.001 to 1 Hz.
The constitutive response and energy dissipation under cyclic loading were
successfully analyzed using an existing physically based constitutive model
for sea ice. The results highlight the importance of testing warm and
floating-ice specimens and demonstrate that the experimental method proposed
in this study provides a convenient and practical approach to perform
laboratory experiments on floating ice.

Authors: Navarro Soria Ignasi , Real Fernández Marta , Costa López Borja
Published: September 2020

Foster care is a determining resource for the child protection system. The scientific evidence shows that the psychosocial benefits of foster care for minors within the protection system are superior to those that can be provided by residential resource centres. Hence, during the last decade in Spain, work has been done to establish foster care as a priority resource. The objective of our work is focused on describing what type of families make up the Family Foster Care resource of the Province of Alicante and their parenting styles. A total of 207 people (72 minors and 132 foster parents) were evaluated, applying the following: 1) an ad hoc questionnaire composed of 12 questions; and 2) The Alabama Parenting Questionnaire consisting of 42 items (Spanish adaptation from Servera, 2007). More than 50% of the families are nuclear families and do not have biological children, with the duration of the foster care exceeding two years. The reconstituted families stand out due to its parental involvement and positive upbringing, while the nuclear and single-parent families show higher scores in consistent discipline. It is essential to know the profile of the foster families in order to achieve an adequate foster care process for minors.
Merleau-Ponty, Moral Perception, and Metaethical Internalism
Authors: Lueck Bryan
Published: September 2020

Two of the most basic commitments of virtue ethics, both ancient and contemporary, are that virtue is knowledge and that this knowledge is a kind of moral sensitivity that is best understood on the model of perception. This view is vulnerable to two potentially very serious objections, both of which concern virtue ethics' commitment to metaethical internalism, which holds that judgments of the form “x is right” entail some kind of motivation to do x. I argue in this paper that we can find the resources to respond adequately to these objections in Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception.
Institution and Divergence: Toward a Phenomenology of Music
Authors: Faul Caleb
Published: September 2020

The underlying claim of this article is that phenomenology is well situated to reorient the philosophy of music, a discipline too often concerned with logical wrangling over the ontology of musical works. By starting with the experience of music itself in its many forms, we can see how both work music and non-work music come to have sense for us. Specifically, I contend that Maurice Merleau-Ponty's notion that sense develops through what he calls “institution” accurately describes the sense of music, and I attempt to bear this out through careful description of multiple modes of musical experience.
Gloria Anzaldúa's Decolonizing Aesthetics: On Silence and Bearing Witness
Authors: Ferrari Martina
Published: September 2020

This article is one in a series of attempts on my part to think (from) the in-between of traditionally juxtaposed claims of voice versus silence. It takes seriously both claims that voice is lived as liberatory by many, on the one hand, and that the deployment of voice may not only reify colonial power dynamics that continue to oppress many, but also that words may be inadequate to convey or remember the humiliation, pain, and systematic degradation of trauma and violence, on the other. Thus situated, this paper turns to silence to locate resources for the renewal of sense. Specifically, I turn to Gloria Anzaldúa's iterations of the myth of la Llorona in “My Black Angelos” and Prietita and the Ghost Woman and propose that her deployment of silences is such that the past is remembered in its absence, as loss. As such, I suggest, the deployment of deep silences is key to a decolonizing aesthetics; it bears witness to experiences of coloniality by upholding, rather than eliding, opacity, thus inaugurating decolonizing sensibilities attuned to silences rather than speech and transparency.
Agua-Biographies: Derrida on Water, Ontopology, and Refugees
Authors: Sinclair Rebekah
Published: September 2020

Jacques Derrida's Monolingualism of the Other is filled with attention to fluids: seas, shores, floods, canals, waves, rivers, and tsunamis all meander through and soak its pages. Against the metaphysical privilege of substance, I argue Derrida deploys these waters to clarify the role of différance, the failure of self-identity, and the relation between autobiography, land, and citizenship. Specifically, by attending to Derrida's discussion of water, I argue Monolingualism both questions the possibility of autobiography in light of the elemental nature of language and identity, and critiques colonial ontopological configurations that secure belonging through the solidity and fixity of land and borders (or border walls). Turning then to the U.S.-Mexico border, I use Derrida's liquid logic to clarify and problematize the way migrants and refugees are made intelligible as ontopological failures through their association with water and water metaphors (i.e., “flows” or “waves” of migrants “flooding” into the U.S.). Instead of advancing the phantasm of the solid—building dams to keep out migrants or opening the floodgates of U.S. citizenship—Derrida prompts us to track (and resist) flows of colonial state power, while affirming our fluid relations to language, community, and land, or what I am calling our agua-biographies.
Anger, Fragility, and the Formation of Resistant Feminist Space
Authors: Tsantsoulas Tiffany
Published: September 2020

This article explores the role of second-order anger in the formation of resistant feminist space through the work of María Lugones and Sara Ahmed. I argue that this incommunicative form of anger can operate as a bridge between two senses of resistant spatiality in Lugones, connecting the hangout, which is a collective and transgressive space for alternative sense making, and the cocoon, which is a solitary and germinative space of tense internal transformation. By weaving connections with Ahmed's concept of feminist fragile sheltering, I demonstrate that the insulating character of second-order anger need not be equated with spatial solitude. Rather, given its orientation toward a future becoming away from oppressed subjectivity, germinative cocooning can be understood as constitutive of collective, feminist, and resistant spaces. I conclude, therefore, that feminist spaces ought to shelter second-order angers and embrace fragility as a condition of resistant transformation.
The Curious Case of Cramblett v. Midwest Sperm Bank: Centering a Political Ontology of Race and Disability for Liberatory Thought
Authors: Valentine Desiree
Published: September 2020

This article explores a recent legal case wherein the category of “wrongful birth”—a negligence claim against a physician who failed to adequately inform a pregnant individual of the likelihood of their child having a congenital disorder, birth defect, or other disability—was used to describe the birth of a black/mixed-race child. In this case, a white woman was inseminated and impregnated with the sperm of a black man instead of the white man's sperm she had purchased. In examining this case, I argue for the liberatory import of placing race and disability in a comparative frame that relies on a method of juxtaposition and centers a political ontology of race and disability.
A Cross-Cultural Comparison of Conflict Management Styles in Multinational Organisations: Empirical Evidence from Serbia
Authors: Ristic Marija Runic , Ljepava Nikolina , Qureshi Tahir Masood , Milla Asli Cazorla
Published: September 2020

This study explores the conflict management styles of German and Serbian managers in multinational organisations in Serbia. Contrary to most previous cross-cultural studies on conflict management styles, we have analysed not only the impact of the dimensions of individualism vs. collectivism on conflict management styles, but the effect of power distance dimension also. Moreover, none of the previous studies have analysed the conflict of management styles of managers in Southeast Europe, let alone the influence of intercultural interactions in multinational organisations in that region. Our study is based on the survey of 205 German, and 214 Serbian, managers in German multinationals in Serbia. The findings reveal that German and Serbian managers use different conflict management styles and that the status of the conflict partners and gender affect managers’ conflict management styles.
How does Leadership Effectiveness related to the Context? Paternalistic Leadership on non-financial Performance within a cultural Tightness- Looseness Model?
Authors: Arun Korhan , Şen Cem , Okun Olcay
Published: September 2020

Current emphasis in culture research focuses on how leaders might change the culture to improve organizational performance. However, how culture affects organizational performance under active leadership relations research has resulted in conceptual ambiguities, as well as contradictory empirical findings. We argue that organizational culture moderates the effectiveness of leadership on organizational performance. We used an ethical approach to generalize paternalistic leadership in moderating Turkish organizational culture. The results indicate that paternalistic leadership functions are divided into two dimensions: family relationships and non-work life involvement, and the overall effects of paternalistic leadership on non-financial performance are unconnected to organizational culture, namely cultural tightness-looseness (CTL).
Unternehmen als politische Akteure mit Gerechtigkeitspflichten Volkswagen und der Klimaschutz
Authors: Siebke Swaantje
Published: September 2020

Ich argumentiere dafür, dass Unternehmen als politische Akteure verstanden werden sollten, weil sie strukturell in den politischen Prozess eingebunden sind. Auf dieser Grundlage können ihnen Gerechtigkeitspflichten zugeschrieben werden. Ein Beispiel ist die Pflicht zur Klimastabilisierung gegenüber zukünftigen Generationen. Diese richtet sich unter anderem an die deutschen Automobilhersteller wie Volkswagen.
Love and Rationality
Authors: Cyr Sarah ,   Ball State University
Published: September 2020

Much work has been done in contemporary epistemology to reconcile our epistemic ideals with our human need for healthy relationships with our loved ones. Ryan Preston-Roedder makes an attempt to resolve the tension between these two goals in his paper, “Three Varieties of Faith.” However, his account lacks the clarity necessary to make a thoroughly convincing argument. In this paper, I expand on Preston-Roedder’s ideas, distilling a novel account of epistemic partiality that allows us to maintain epistemic rationality without sacrificing elements of friendship that have a significant impact on our social and emotional well-being.
If There’s No Music Up in Heaven Then What’s It For?
Authors: Tugendstein Gabriel ,   Ball State University
Published: September 2020

In this article, I advocate in favor of music as a method of conveying philosophical thought, in the process defending subjective, non-verbal feeling as a component of true philosophical discussion. I first invoke the Kierkegaardian concepts of subjective truth and the musical-erotic to support my position, then show how such a method could be employed through a case study of the Arcade Fire song “Here Comes The Night Time.” Finally, I confront and disarm the potential accusation that this method would over-intellectualize music through excessive interpretation, removing the erotic nature that empowers it.
