Quelle fin des temps ? L’eschatologie d’Irénée de Lyon
Authors: Ayroulet Élie , Chaieb Marie L.
Published: January 2021

La lecture d’Ap 20,6 par Irénée, qualifiée par la postérité de « millénariste » n’a pas été retenue par la tradition théologique. Néanmoins, en des temps où le futur de l’homme et du monde sont souvent envisagés avec crainte, la vision irénéenne de l’histoire et de sa fin présente un grand intérêt. Cet article voudrait montrer en quoi elle témoigne d’une authentique espérance fondée sur la fidélité de Dieu, la bonté de la création et un regard positif sur le temps comme condition de possibilité d’une croissance de l’homme.

Du bon usage des modèles mathématiques
Authors: Ekeland Ivar
Published: January 2021

Les modèles mathématiques ont un rôle important à jouer dans l’étude de la transition écologique, à condition de reconnaître leurs limites : ils ne valent pas mieux que les hypothèses que l’on fait ; et si les modèles sont trop ambitieux, ces hypothèses sont trop simplificatrices. L’exemple de la médecine est éclairant. L’objectif recherché, la santé, échappe à une définition précise, a fortiori à la modélisation ; les modèles mathématiques fournissent des outils précieux, allant de l’imagerie médicale à la thérapie antivirale, mais ce ne sont que des outils au service d’une vision globale qui est celle du praticien. De même, en matière d’écologie, les modèles mathématiques doivent se situer au niveau où ils sont pertinents.
Transitions agricoles et alimentaires et enjeux pour la formation : la diversité et la complexité au cœur de l’accompagnement
Authors: Caron Patrick
Published: January 2021

Le besoin d’une transformation profonde des systèmes alimentaires ne fait plus l’ombre d’un doute. C’est ce que nous justifierons dans la première partie de cet article, en en identifiant les raisons sanitaires, environnementales et sociales et en précisant les enjeux et les défis à relever. Nous nous intéresserons ensuite aux caractéristiques des transitions agro-écologiques à entreprendre pour ce faire, et, en particulier, à la nécessaire prise en compte de la complexité et de la diversité des situations, de l’incomplétude des connaissances disponibles et des connections à réaliser entre processus locaux et globaux. Enfin, nous identifierons les conséquences qui en découlent pour la formation, en particulier les ruptures à opérer pour dépasser une vision de l’innovation centrée sur le transfert de technologies et acquérir les compétences visant à stimuler la mobilisation de connaissances éparses et les processus d’apprentissage, ainsi que la conception de solutions et la médiation en contexte incertain.
Les métamorphoses du droit face aux exigences de la transition écologique
Authors: Martin-Chenut Kathia , Perruso Camila
Published: January 2021

La crise écologique bouscule le droit et le force à se réinventer. Le droit participe à la transition écologique, dans la mesure où il permet, d’une part, d’organiser les relations sociales qui en découlent et, d’autre part, d’orienter les transformations nécessaires lorsqu’il s’approprie les normes et valeurs sociales. Il peut ainsi jouer un rôle essentiel non seulement a posteriori , mais également tout au long de la transition écologique. Mais celle-ci est complexe, comme les métamorphoses que doit subir le droit pour l’accompagner. Cette contribution met en lumière certaines des adaptations que connaissent certaines catégories juridiques classiques qui nous semblent être bousculées par les exigences d’une transition écologique et solidaire et s’avérer propices à contribuer à sa concrétisation : la souveraineté, la propriété, la personnalité et la responsabilité.
Des pédagogies pour vivre en Anthropocène
Authors: Wallenhorst Nathanaël , Hétier Renaud
Published: January 2021

Depuis quinze ans, des études géo-scientifiques sur l’Anthropocène paraissent à un rythme effréné, toutes plus préoccupantes les unes que les autres. Au cœur de la noirceur de ce siècle, n’avons-nous pas besoin d’éducateurs pour allumer de fragiles lueurs permettant de continuer notre aventure et de ne pas perdre de vue cet objectif éducatif par excellence : apprendre à changer le monde ? Partant, comment, concrètement, penser des approches pédagogiques adaptées pour vivre ensemble en Anthropocène ? La première partie de cet article porte sur le type de rapport au monde à favoriser dans le cadre d’une éducation en Anthropocène. Que devons-nous viser pour que les élèves apprennent à changer le monde en Anthropocène ? Faut-il qu’ils apprennent à établir des relations vivantes, responsives avec le monde ou, au contraire, qu’ils apprennent à entrer en résistance ? La seconde partie est centrée sur quatre approches pédagogiques, complémentaires les unes des autres, pour éduquer en Anthropocène.
Former des architectes pour participer à la transition écologique et sociale
Authors: Toubanos Dimitri , Villien Philippe
Published: January 2021

Le microcosme des écoles nationales supérieures d’architecture et de paysage (ENSA(P)) est lourdement impacté par la transition écologique et énergétique (TEE). Les études d’architecture s’engagent pleinement sur les sujets centraux du climat, des ressources finies, de l’énergie contrainte et de la préservation du vivant. Le développement de cet article s’articule autour, d’une part, des questions du milieu, des ressources et de la matérialité en lien avec la transformation du bâti existant et des manières d’habiter et, d’autre part, du constat du développement d’une société des risques qu’il faut équilibrer avec le prendre soin écologique et social. Dans ces perspectives, l’évolution des enseignements des ENSA(P) vers la TEE apparaît comme essentielle pour accélérer la bascule de l’architecture vers un milieu écologique et solidaire. Un modèle thématique est ainsi mis en perspective pour permettre cette bascule attendue des études d’architecture vers une transition écologique totalement engagée.
Quatre familles de compétences pour la transformation écologique et sociale
Authors: Majou de la Debutrie Gérald
Published: January 2021

La transformation écologique et sociale des sociétés humaines, notamment de leur modèle occidental, est un impératif vital au regard des changements anthropiques majeurs qui affectent le climat et la biodiversité. L’approche par les compétences est une réponse éducative puissante à cet enjeu à condition de ne pas en servir une version étriquée, utilitariste et prétendue dépourvue de tout système de valeurs. Ces compétences doivent permettre d’agir individuellement, mais surtout collectivement en humains parmi les non-humains, en citoyens et en professionnels responsables. Elles mobilisent une éthique impliquant le respect du vivant dans sa diversité, ainsi que les désirs et les peurs qui orientent nos actes, permettent de comprendre, de ressentir les connexions aux « Autres », d’accepter nos limites et de connaître celles de notre planète. Agir avec force et collectivement, selon des réponses technologiques ou non, sera alors à la mesure des responsabilités prises et du récit futuriste inventé.
Les politiques de protection de la biodiversité et l’ Ecological Redlining en Chine : quelles implications pour la COP15 ?
Authors: Landry Juliette , Rankovic Aleksandar , Chabason Lucien
Published: January 2021

Ces trente dernières années, la Chine a permis à une grande partie de sa population de sortir de la pauvreté grâce au développement économique, mais au prix de lourdes répercussions sur les écosystèmes, en Chine et ailleurs. Depuis les années 1980, le gouvernement a adopté des politiques de conservation de la nature, avec l’établissement de Nature Reserves , des aires protégées ou des parcs nationaux. C’est néanmoins dans les années 2000, qu’une prise de conscience plus prononcée s’opère, centrée d’abord sur les enjeux de pollution, puis, dans les années 2010, sur la promotion d’une approche intégrée de la gestion des écosystèmes. L’ Ecological Protection Red Line ‒ concept mis en œuvre depuis 2011 ‒ entend répondre aux conflits entre développement agricole, urbain et industriel, et protection des écosystèmes et de la biodiversité. Alors que la Chine se prépare à accueillir la COP15 de la Convention sur la diversité biologique (CDB), nos souhaitons dans cet article resituer la place de l’ ecological redlining dans le développement des politiques de biodiversité en Chine, et ce dans le contexte plus large de l’effort de planification spatiale en cours à l’échelle du pays. Nous conclurons en nous interrogeant sur la place que ces approches peuvent tenir dans les discussions sur la route de la COP15.
IoT and Deep Learning for Livestock Management
Authors: Kumar Rajiv
Published: January 2021

Livestock management is a critical issue for the farming industry as proper management including their health and well-being directly impacts the production. It is difficult for a farmer or shed owner to monitor big herds of cattle manually. This chapter proposes a layered framework that utilizes the power of internet of things (IoT) and deep learning (DL) to real-time livestock monitoring supporting the effective management of cattle. The framework consists of sensor layer where sensor-rich devices or gadgets are used to collect various contextual data related to livestock, data processing layer which deals with various outlier rejections and processing of the data followed by DL approaches to analyze the collected contextual data in detecting sick and on heat animals, and finally, insightful information is sent to shed owner for necessary action. An experimental study conducted is helpful to make wise decisions to increase production cost-effectively. The chapter concludes with the different future aspects that may be further explored by the researchers.
Unlocking Urban Tourism Through City Branding
Authors: Bobo Tinashe , Mudombi Tendai P. , Gopo Edith
Published: January 2021

This article discusses the concept of city branding and how it can unlock urban tourism in urban areas of the developing world. City branding has emerged as a sophisticated tool for cities to (re)assert themselves in a global economic market. Cities are concerned with establishing their own images in order to attract tourists, investors, business people, students, and skilled personnel. This study focuses on Harare in Zimbabwe which is currently in the middle of preparing a city master plan to guide development for the next 15-20 years. Harare is strategically positioned as far as the country's open for business mantra is perceived. However, Harare's brand, the ‘Sunshine City', has lost its sparkle due to a plethora of urban planning challenges. The study was based on a wide desk study and content analysis. The research highlighted gaps in city branding practices in which history, modernity, and planning are lacking. Hence, urban planning practices such as master planning may help cities (re)assert themselves in the global cities economic and tourist networks.

During the current COVID-19 pandemic, timing and preparedness for healthcare facilities are fundamental. This descriptive article narrates the Department of Internal Medicine at the College of Medicine and King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC) response before and during the COVID-19 outbreak by focusing on the preparedness and mitigation plans the department implemented for its clinical services. A COVID-19 taskforce was created to implement the pathways for healthcare workers' workflow organization, plan the effective use of isolation facilities and personal protective equipment, and enhance liaisons between departments in the medical city. Telehealth was utilized for outpatient services, and medications were delivered to patients via courier. Aerosol-generating procedures were conducted after thoroughly reviewing the clinical indications and time-related risks. Medical day unit services followed a strict multistep screening protocol and rescheduled nonurgent investigations and therapeutics when possible. The Department of Internal Medicine prepandemic preparedness helped significantly mitigate the pandemic impact on KSUMC. Prioritizing in-hospital clinical care according to the patients' conditions, full adherence to infection control measures, clear and efficient communication between departments, and utilizing telehealth were the key elements in maintaining state-of-the-art clinical care during the pandemic.
Combined intravitreal ranibizumab and posterior subtenon triamcinolone acetonide injections for patients with diabetic macular edema refractory to intravitreal ranibizumab monotherapy
Authors: Chiu Chiung-Yi , Huang Tzu-Lun , Chang Pei-Yao , Chen Fang-Ting , Hsu Yung-Ray , Chen Yun-Ju , Wang Jia-Kang
Published: January 2021

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) alone and concurrent IVR with posterior subtenon triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection for patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) refractory to IVR monotherapy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

We enrolled 43 eyes of 43 patients with DME who received at least three times of IVR, which resulted in poor anatomical responses, with central foveal thickness (CFT) reduction <10% and postinjection CFT >300 μm. All the eyes received initial 3 monthly then pro re nata (PRN) IVR 0.5-mg injections. Twenty eyes continued PRN injections and 23 eyes received combined IVR 0.5 mg and PSTA 40 mg with at least 1-year follow-up. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and CFT were recorded from 1-month to 1-year follow-up.

RESULTS:

Following switch to combined therapy, the mean BCVA significantly improved from 0.61 ± 0.32 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) to 0.45±0.39 logMAR at 6 month (P = 0.003), 0.43±0.35 logMAR at 9 months (P < 0.001), and 0.48±0.45 logMAR at 1 year (P = 0.03). In eyes with IVR alone, no significant VA improvement was noted throughout the year. Significantly better BCVA was noted in the combined group at 6-month, 9-month, and 1-year follow-up compared to IVR-alone group. The timing of combined therapy showed a significant association with 1-year BCVA (t = 3.25, P = 0.018).

CONCLUSION:

Concurrent IVR and PSTA resulted in significantly better visual outcomes in 1-year follow-up for those refractory to preceding ranibizumab monotherapy for DME. Early addition of PSTA predicted a better visual outcome.
Retinopathy of prematurity in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Badeeb Nooran , Raffa Lina , AhmedHussain Huda , Bamefleh Dania , Mgharbil Enas , Alessa Sarah , Alamri Aliaa , Albahiti Mohamed
Published: January 2021

PURPOSE:

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a preventable blinding disorder affecting preterm infants. To date, maternal risk factors have not been studied in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to identify possible maternal risk factors for any stage and type 1 ROP.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A total of 295 preterm infants screened for ROP between November 2013 and December 2018 at a Saudi Arabian tertiary-care hospital were included. We included infants with a gestational age ≤ 32 weeks and/or birth weight (BW) ≤1500 g. We analyzed 28 maternal and neonatal risk factors.

RESULTS:

The incidence of ROP at any stage and Type 1 were 31.9% and 7%, respectively. In the univariate analysis, the only maternal factor associated with any stage of ROP was spontaneous vaginal delivery (P = 0.049), but no maternal factor was an independent risk factor for type 1 ROP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified lower BW, lower gestational age and longer neonatal intensive care unit stay as independent risk factors for the development of ROP at any stage (P < 0.05). For Type 1 ROP, lower BW, and intraventricular hemorrhage were significant independent risk factors (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The only maternal risk factor related to ROP was spontaneous vaginal delivery, which increased the risk of any stage of ROP. The single most predictive risk factor for any stage of ROP and Type 1 ROP was low BW. These findings emphasize the role of the obstetrician in promoting health care and modifying maternal risk factors to prevent preterm births related to a low BW.

Idiopathic Horner Syndrome Diagnosed Remotely using Telemedicine. The novel Coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), pandemic has altered the field of ophthalmology in myriad ways. During the initial lockdown period in March, the use of telemedicine expanded to adhere to public health guidelines. The field of neuro-ophthalmology is an ophthalmic sub-specialty less prone to the use of telemedicine. We present a case of isolated idiopathic Horner syndrome in a 39 year old female diagnosed through telemedicine.
Entre pulp fiction et néo-naturalisme, quelle(s) représentation(s) des classes subalternes ?
Authors: LANI Soraya
Published: January 2021

L’œuvre Carvão animal de l’écrivaine brésilienne Ana Paula Maia ramène au devant de la scène contemporaine un genre littéraire qui semblait avoir disparu : celui de la pulp fiction américaine de la première moitié du XXe siècle. De plus, elle se réapproprie quelques éléments du courant naturaliste de la fin du XIXe siècle. Nous nous proposons dans cet article d’analyser comment le genre hybride d’Ana Paula Maia, issu d’un mélange harmonieux des principes naturalistes et ceux de la pulp fiction, peut rendre compte d'une représentation des identités opprimées et marginalisées de la société brésilienne.
Português Ruínas recompostas e pós-memória nos romances de Luis S. Krausz
Authors: LUCIANO VARGAS Simone
Published: January 2021

Português
Neste artigo, apresenta-se a análise dos romances Desterro: memórias em ruínas e Deserto, do escritor judeu-brasileiro Luis S. Krausz, pela perspectiva do conceito de pós-memória, de Marianne Hirsch. A memória intergeracional se apresenta como material criativo para a produção literária desse escritor, visto que ele pertence à terceira geração de judeus imigrantes no Brasil. Pelo gênero romance de filiação, Krausz representa as narrativas e as memórias intergeracionais com as quais teve contato durante sua infância e adolescência. São memórias afetivas que lhe foram transmitidas, mas, uma vez assimiladas, se tornaram pós-memória, pois a sua relação com o passado dos avós não se dá da mesma forma. Assim ocorre um investimento imaginativo para registrar a sua experiência memorialística.
Microrrelato hipermedial: extrañamiento cognitivo-estético y condiciones de lectura
Authors: CALVO REVILLA Ana
Published: January 2021

El microrrelato hipermedial requiere la comprehensión de los procesos de denotación y connotación que custodian los textos literarios y los textos fotográficos a partir de la identificación de la estructura compositiva y de los elementos significantes explícitos e implícitos. Este género literario reviste una estructura dinámica que suscita en la interioridad del lector poderosas emociones, que derivan tanto de los acontecimientos que se cuentan en el universo imaginario ficcional como de la emoción estética que emerge del constructo narrativo; su recepción reviste un doble aspecto, pues conecta con la base cognitiva propia de las emociones sociales y con el goce estético propio de la emoción artística de base neurológica.
Du concept de post-pornographie au « posporno » (Espagne, 2001-2011)
Authors: FLORENCHIE Amélie
Published: January 2021

La question que pose cet article est au moins en apparence simple : qu’est-ce qui caractérise le « posporno » espagnol ? La post-pornographie est un concept qui a donné lieu à de nombreuses théorisations mais la plupart d’entre elles ne parlent pas de/depuis l’Espagne et s’ancrent dans un espace/temps nord-américain. Ce biais est récurrent dans les études culturelles, sous l’égide desquelles nous plaçons notre travail d’hispaniste. Nous nous proposons donc de caractériser un post-porno espagnol en confrontant différents travaux, notamment français et espagnols, et nous faisons l’hypothèse que ce post-porno a une vie conceptuelle indépendante de celle de son cousin nord-américain, liée à la spécificité du contexte espagnol dans ses dimensions historiques, politiques et culturelles.
Avant-propos. Chimères et spectralité : les aventures de l'ordinaire
Authors: ESTÈVE Raphaël
Published: January 2021

Il s’agit ici d’une part de présenter l’ordinaire par le biais de son extériorité, c’est-à-dire, de ce contre quoi il s’établit (la métaphysique, l’universel, l’abstraction, etc.), et que ses principaux théoriciens, au premier rang desquels le second Wittgenstein et Stanley Cavell, présentent comme des chimères ; et d’autre part de l’appréhender par le biais de son intériorité, c’est-à-dire ce qui en opacifie et problématise l’intégrité, que nous présentons comme le redoublement spectral de l’ordinaire. Ce redoublement est à la fois informé par le scepticisme cavellien et l’unheimlich freudien, et articulé à la théorie heideggérienne de l’ustensilité, par l'intermédiaire de laquelle nous appréhenderons également le rapport à la mondanéité des formes et des objets de la culture populaire.
Niño Feo: riquezas y paradojas de lo ordinario
Authors: MORENO Fernando
Published: January 2021

Este artículo es un intento de lectura de la novela del escrito chileno Yuri Pérez, Niño Feo, a partir de una determinada idea de lo ordinario. Aquí, este concepto no es visto tan sólo temáticamente, sino sobre todo como una noción que puede caracteriza el actuar del hombre normal en su relación conflictiva con lo establecido y con los límites de un sistema. Así, se muestra cómo el relato de la cotidianeidad de un niño, gracias a las características del discurso y a su construcción textual, que aúnan paradojas y transgresiones, convoca las extrañezas de lo ordinario y confieren dimensiones insospechadas a ese trabajo literario.
La Révolution artistique d'Alejandro Jodorowsky
Authors: COURRET Joy
Published: January 2021

Les créations novatrices d'Alejandro Jodorowsky surprennent le lecteur ou le spectateur et ne se cloisonnent pas dans un mouvement précis. Le Chilien, désireux de renouveler son art, ne cesse de le perfectionner depuis son arrivée à Paris dans les années 1950. Son approche des pratiques artistiques comme la poésie, le théâtre ou encore le dessin est toujours marquée par un geste de rupture. Par ses poèmes ou ses Fables Paniques, Jodorowsky bouscule les codes. Nous verrons dans un premier temps comment l'auteur cherche à intégrer le mouvement surréaliste qu'il considère comme révolutionnaire, puis, nous constaterons finalement de quelle manière il parvient à organiser sa propre révolution avec la création de Panique au début des années 1960, aux côtés de Topor et Arrabal.
Pensar lo cotidiano, lo ordinario. Umgangssprache, infra-ordinaire e infrarrealismo
Authors: VAUTHIER Bénédicte
Published: January 2021

En este artículo intento mostrar cómo el ‘pensamiento de lo ordinario’ que el filósofo americano Stanley Cavell (1926-2018) elaboró primero a partir de la filosofía del lenguaje ordinario de John L. Austin y del segundo Wittgenstein y el trascendentalismo de Emerson (y Thoreau) e identificó luego con la comedia de enredo matrimonial hollywoodiana, puede entrar en consonancia con la reflexión estética y ética de algunos escritores españoles de los años 1920-1930 especialmente atentos a « eso que está ahí ». Dos facetas de la obra de Benjamín Jarnés (1888-1949) sirven luego para ilustrar esta inesperada proximidad: su valoración del infrarrealismo orteguiano, acercamiento a lo nimio ; su pasión por el cine de los años treinta, en particular, los primeros dibujos animados, emblema de la gracia artística, cuya misión —igual que la experiencia en Cavell— es unir a los hombres, reinstaurando una relación de reconocimiento entre ellos.
Un Crime ordinaire ? Le glissement des identités dans Emma Zunz (1948) de Jorge Luis Borges
Authors: WEHR Christian , FAURE Emmanuel
Published: January 2021

Emma Zunz de Jorge Luis Borges – nouvelle publiée pour la première fois en 1948 dans le magazine Sur et réimprimée dans la collection El Aleph en 1949 - raconte l’histoire d’un crime ordinaire centré sur le motif stéréotypé et commun de la vengeance: une jeune femme tue l'homme qu’elle croit responsable du suicide de son père. Dès le début, cependant, derrière cette histoire apparemment classique, une série d'ambivalences et d'abîmes s'ouvre peu à peu, avec le résultat que les motifs et les positions des protagonistes changent constamment: les auteurs deviennent des victimes, le sujet se transforme en objet de vengeance et les intentions originaires se transforment en leur contraire. À la suite de ces changements, quelque chose d'étrange - c'est-à-dire autrefois familier - dans le sens freudien émerge de plus en plus derrière le crime supposé ordinaire.
Prosaïsme et infra-réalisme dans la première poésie de Roberto Bolaño
Authors: OLIVIER Florence
Published: January 2021

Soulignant l’entre-deux entre poésie et roman qui caractérise l’œuvre de Roberto Bolaño, lui associant le prosaïsme qui, selon l’écrivain, définit sa poésie, cet article interroge les manifestations et les visées de ce prosaïsme dans la première poésie de l’écrivain. On verra comment ces poèmes des années soixante-dix cherchent à mettre formellement en relief, suivant les principes énoncés dans les manifestes infra-réalistes, « la fornication du quotidien avec le tragique » que le jeune poète discerne dans son époque marquée par le terrorisme d’État. C’est par le choix de formes prosaïques et de genres populaires qui désamorcent d’emblée l’interprétation du tragique de l’histoire selon un vain lyrisme ou un discours ouvertement idéologique que le tout jeune poète Bolaño l’exorcise ou la moque déjà.
A Facet Theory Analysis of the Structure of Cognitive Performance in New Zealand Robins (Petroica longipes)
Authors: Hackett Paul M. W. , Shaw Rachael C. , Boogert Neeltje J. , Clayton Nicola. S.
Published: January 2021

In this report we analyse the cognitive performance of New Zealand Robins (Petroica longipes) using facet theory, smallest space analysis (SSA) and partial order scalogram analysis (POSA). The data set we analyse was originally subjected to principle component analysis in order to develop a test-battery for avian cognitive performance. We extend these analyses by proposing a two facet rather than a single component solution using SSA and we characterize individual birds by their scores on all tasks using POSA. We note problems with the small sample size and call for our exploratory analyses to be replicated using a larger sample of birds and for the development of further test items using the facet theory’s tool the mapping sentence. We suggest that facet theory and the mapping sentences are research approaches suitable for conceiving, designing, analysing and developing theory that may be used within avian cognitive research. We conclude by proposing a mapping sentence for avian cognition, which forms an adaptable template for future avian cognition research.
Predictors of academic achievement in higher education
Authors: Tulbure Cristina
Published: January 2021

In this study we investigated the relationship between academic achievement and the students' characteristics such as personality traits, learning motivation or intellectual ability. Our intention was to highlight possible predictors of academic achievement on the level of higher education. A sample­group of 284 pre-service teachers voluntarily participated in the study. The results showed a significant correlation between academic achievement and some personality variables such as conscientiousness, emotional stability, self­esteem and self-control. Moreover, intellectual ability and intrinsic motivation positively correlated with academic achievement, as shown in previous studies. Regression analysis further revealed that the most important predictors of academic achievement were intrinsic motivation, intelligence, self-control and self-esteem. Overall, it seems that identifying the predictors of academic achievement and wisely integrating them in the classroom setting could significantly improve the quality of instruction in higher education.

Directions and perspectives of emotional intelligence in organizations
Authors: Roco Mihaela
Published: January 2021

In the past 20 years research on Emotional Intelligence (EI) has increased exponentially, being made by scientists and experts from various fields of activity worldwide. EI research studies were oriented towards three main directions: 1) The development of conceptual models and related theories, 2) Construction and validation of tools/testing investigation and evaluation of EI and, 3) The development and validation of stimulation and development programs of EI in the areas of organizational, educational, medical, military, and more.

Peter Salovey, one of the parents of emotional intelligence, Invited Speaker at the 3rd International Congress on Emotional Intelligence (September, 2011), pointed out that one of the most valuable research directions of EI refers to its applications and its use at the workplace.

The current study includes three main parts: 1) History of the concept of EI and its contemporary approaches, 2) The results of extensive research on the usefulness and efficiency of EI in organizations (case studies), 3) stimulation and development programs in El's different fields (banking, educational, medical, business environment...).
The psycho-pedagogical profile of a tutor in e-learning
Authors: Goga Maria
Published: January 2021

In a society based on knowledge, in a continuous economic social and educational changing, there is the need of qualified people to cope with the avalanche of new innovative ideas. The labour market in Europe and around the world increasingly requires highly trained and qualified personnel to meet the requirements of rapid technological change in almost all the areas of life. Teaching virtually is different that teaching face-to-face. In this article we make a summary of the research done within the context of the PhD thesis of the author which investigates this new type of learning and skills and it manages staff roles - tutors - and suggests in this regard a training module for this new profession. The research was performed with institutions from Romania and from other countries in Europe, U.S.A., and Asia.

The Importance of In-Season Strength and Power Training in Football Athletes: A Brief Review and Recommendations
Authors: Yu Liang , Altieri Claudio , BIRD Stephen P. , Corcoran Glenn , Jiuxiang Gao
Published: January 2021

Football (soccer) performance requires a diversity of physical attributes and biomotor abilities, such as strength, power, jump mechanics, repeat sprint ability, change of direction and on-ball skills. In-season training focus is often based on metabolic conditioning activities such as small sided games, tactical and technical football drills and traditional running drills in order to further develop and maintain aerobic and anaerobic capacity. However, this often comes at the expense of strength training, which may be compromised for additional time on the pitch. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide an evidenced-based approach, to the periodisation of strength and power during a football season. Secondly, the increased popularity of incorporating on-pitch pre-rehabilitation and injury prevention programs that utilise unstable exercises during the entire season to maintain strength and power will also be discussed. Collectively, literature suggests that strength and power maintenance can be achieved with one strength session per week for football athletes. However, it is important for strength and conditioning coaches to continue the development of strength and power characteristics during a football season, which not only assists on-pitch performance but may also attribute to reduction of injury risk. Evidence supporting the effectiveness of on-pitch pre-rehabilitation programming centred on unstable training is lacking at this time.

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event is a climate event that has an impact on the world climate. The effects of ENSO are often associated with prolonged droughts and floods since 1980 following global climate change. In addition to causing flooding and drought. Indirectly, the occurrence of ENSO causes health problems, environmental destruction, affecting economic activities such as agriculture and fisheries. Many studies on ENSO have been conducted. However, there is still a lack of research on the effect of ENSO on temperature in local knowledge areas, especially urban areas because the urban environment especially building materials that can absorb and release heat. In addition, previous studies have focused on large-scale areas. Beside that there still gap to understand and increase knowledge about the effect of ENSO on local temperatures, especially in urban areas. This study uses meteorological data and Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) from 1988 to 2019. This study found that the occurrence of ENSO has an effect on the value of daily temperature but differs based on the value of the ONI index. In addition, this study uses linear regression in predicting the effect of ENSO on temperature. The results of this study are useful to those responsible for understanding the impact of ENSO on temperature in urban areas to provide infrastructure in reducing the impact of ENSO as well as adjustment measures during the occurrence of ENSO.

Currently, the trends in urban public transport have been changing over the years in developing countries for mobilization and accessibility development. Urban public transportation systems are the most popular in Selangor State, including big cities such as the Klang Valley Region. Objective measures of spatial pattern and hotspots have been used to understand how urban public transport development relate to open access. This method relies on specific spatial information and available web-based tool that shows the pattern primarily based on given vicinity and statistics connectivity. To date, several studies have finished tested in developed countries. In this study, we use Geographic Information Systems to analyse and consider hotspots identification precisely and efficaciously. Therefore, in this paper, we focus on two types of point sample evaluations – Gi* hot spot and point density analysis evaluation as statistical operations. Public rail transport was evaluated as a validation to describe the percentage of distribution of open access. The final result, GIS mapping capabilities to show that GIS's technology offers to the variation of urban public transport relate to public services, is to create maps and spatial interpretations.
Parameters of the Infrasonic Signal Generated in the Atmosphere by a Powerful Volcano Explosion
Authors: Chernogor Leonid
Published: January 2021

The purpose of this work is to represent the results of performing regression analysis to fit the distance and the amplitude of the infrasonic signal generated by the explosion of St. Helens volcano, and to estimate a few signal and atmospheric parameters. The pressure amplitude in the explosion wave generated at the beginning of St. Helens volcano eruption was measured at 13 stations in the 0.9 – 39-Mm distance range; based on these data, an attempt has been made to perform a regression analysis to fit amplitude and distance. The regression based on the assumption that the infrasound propagation takes place in a waveguide where it is subject to attenuation is determined to be the most preferable regression. Based on the observations of the shock from the St. Helens volcano eruption, the shock wave energy and mean power have been estimated to be ~1016 J and ~2.3 TW, respectively. Based on the observations of the amplitude and duration of the trains of the infrasonic wave generated by the St. Helens volcano eruption, the infrasonic wave energy and mean power have been estimated to be ~1016 J and ~2 TW, respectively. Both estimates are in good agreement, but they are significantly different from those found in the literature; the latter seem to be overestimated. From the regression expression obtained, the penetration depth of the infrasonic wave is obtained to be about 33 Mm, whereas at other stations this scale length is estimated to be close to 24 Mm. Based on the theoretical dependence of the attenuation coefficient due to atmospheric turbulence, the attenuation length of the infrasound wave has been estimated for infrasound with 10–300-s periods. For 20–300-s periods, this value has been shown to be significantly larger than the values determined from the observations. Other mechanisms for attenuating the infrasonic signal are discussed (the partial radiation of the infrasonic energy through and losses due to the reflection from the waveguide walls). At the same time, the wave attenuation due to their scattering by turbulent fluctuations can be significant for the periods smaller than 20–50 s, depending on the turbulence intensity. Comparison of the regression functions obtained with the corresponding regression expressions for other sources of infrasound waves propagating in the atmosphere has been made.

DETECTION AND REMOVAL OF BLACK HOLE IN MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK (MANET)
Authors: RAUT SHRADDHA , CHEDE SD
Published: January 2021

This paper gives information about the detection technique of black hole in the MANET. An ad hoc network is a collection of mobile nodes that dynamically form a temporary network. It operates without the central administration. Hence it becomes more susptable to the attacker .Mostly used on- demand routing protocols used in Ad-Hoc networks is AODV (Ad-Hoc On demand DistanceVector) protocol. The security of the AODV protocol is compromised by a particular of attack called “Black Hole” attack. In this attack, a malicious node advertises itself as having the shortest path to the node whose packets it wants to intercept. To reduce the probability, it is proposed to wait and check the replies from all the neighboring nodes to find a safe route.

Published: January 2021

Ergonomics is the science and technology of fitting the activities and environment to the abilities, dimensions, and needs of people to improve performance while enhancing comfort, health and safety [1] The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of an ergonomically designed adjustable workstation for performing a repetitive industrial assembly task on operator performance and productivity. Ergonomically designed fully adjustable assembly workstations could be expensive for companies to adopt, especially the small scale industries. Therefore, a low-cost, ergonomically designed adjustable assembly workstation was designed, developed and evaluated for assembly of a product in a manufacturing company. Experiments were conducted on the existing fixed height and on the newly designed ergonomic assembly workstation using five industrial assembly operators. The operator performance on the ergonomically designed workstation was 29% higher compared to the existing non ergonomically designed fixed height assembly workstation. The increased performance was due to flexibility and ergonomic design features incorporated in the workstation.

Before and After the Sin Tax Law: Perceived Changes in Tertiary Government Hospitals by Inpatients and Healthcare Workers
Authors: Lasco Gideon D. , Duya Jose Eduardo DL. , Sanchez Josephine H. , Dans Antonio L.
Published: January 2021

Background. The implementation of the “Sin Tax Law” (RA 10351) in 2013 has increased revenues for healthcare in the Philippines. What changes have taken place in government hospitals since the passage of the law? This qualitative study sought to answer this question by presenting perspectives from patients, doctors, and nurses.

Methods. Four focus group discussions (FGDs) and eight semi-structured interviews (SSIs) were conducted among patients, doctors, and nurses in two tertiary government hospitals in Metro Manila, Philippines.

Results. Significant changes noted by study participants over the past several years included increased financial assistance for patients as well as improvements in health services and continuity of care. However, their narratives underscored shortcomings in human resources and facilities, raising questions of ‘absorptive capacity’.

Conclusion. Given that the Sin Tax Law was the main policy intervention to which the changes reported by study participants can be attributed, the study provides a strong case for a continuation - if not expansion - of the Law, with the recommendation that increased health revenue should also translate to greater support for healthcare workers and enhanced health facilities. As these insights may be overlooked by traditional metrics, the study also recommends that policymakers consider qualitative studies in evaluating the efficacy of health care reforms.
