Induced Seismicity Research Project: summary of accomplishments 2014-2019
Authors: Kao H
Published: October 2019

The Induced Seismicity Research (ISR) project has a national scope with team members from NRCan offices in Sidney, Vancouver, Ottawa, and Quebec City. The Project established close collaborators with both public and private sectors, including provincial and local
governments, crown corporations, professional organizations, and research universities, to address critical knowledge gaps in induced seismicity and to provide observation-based science to improve regulations on the development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. The ISR Project has
accomplished numerous achievements during the past 5 years. Five most representative examples are presented. They are:
Enhanced regional seismicity monitoring in major shale gas basins in east, west, and north Canada;
Establish scientific evidence for the link between hydraulic fracturing and induced earthquakes in Canada;
Explore factors that control the seismogenesis of induced earthquakes;
Improved methodology/algorithm in detecting/locating small injection-induced earthquakes;
Contribute to improved regulations on the development of unconventional hydrocarbons.
Science-based dredge disposal guidelines for port expansion
Authors: Lintern G
Published: October 2019

Coastal energy infrastructure and other port projects require dredging to make the sites suitable for construction. On the west coast of Canada, dredging has been required at many recently proposed port sites. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) licences
disposal of material at several large disposal-at-sea (DoS) sites on the coast. Proponents may also propose a new or temporary DoSsite nearer to their development to save enormous shipping time and costs. Depending on the level of contamination of the sediment to be disposed, and the methods used,
the regulation may require sediment to be disposed at either a dispersive or non-dispersive site. In the past several years, "guidelines for determining dispersivity" have been proposed by NRCan(Lintern)/EC scientists and stipulated to two proponents. The validity of the methodology is being tested.
NRCanis part of a triparty Regional Ocean Disposal Advisory Committee that will investigate several aspects of dredge disposal on the coast, one of which is dispersivityof existing sites. NRCanis tasked with determining dispersivityat existing sites and with conducting sensitivity analysis of the
variables used in the existing guidelines. This requires oceanographic mooring instrumentation, data analysis and modeling.

Published: October 2019

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to estimate the medical surge capacity required for mass prophylaxis based on a hypothetical outbreak of smallpox.METHODS: We performed a simulation using the Bioterrorism and Epidemic Outbreak Response Model and varied some important parameters, such as the number of core medical personnel and the number of dispensing clinics.RESULTS: Gaps were identified in the medical surge capacity of the Korean government, especially in the number of medical personnel who could respond to the need for mass prophylaxis against smallpox.CONCLUSIONS: The Korean government will need to train 1,000 or more medical personnel for such an event, and will need to prepare many more dispensing centers than are currently available.
Influence chimique et minéralogique des sédiments de dragage portuaire dans le cadre de leur valorisation dans la fabrication des briques
Authors: Benyerou Djamila , Boudjenane Nasr-eddine , Belhadri Mansour
Published: October 2019

This work is part of the development of alternative solutions for better management of dredging sediments or cleaning. The work carried out as part of this work focuses on the valorization of marine sediments from Bethioua port. The mineralogical properties of a brick slip from a brickyard and the brick slip made of marine sediments from the Bethioua port, Oran (Algeria) were studied. The bricks made from the Bethioua port sediment at the laboratory scale have mechanical performances similar to the reference bricks with a substitution rate of 5 % but with a low temperature (600°C instead of 900°C). The mineralogical study of the samples was compared before and after heat treatment for a temperature of 600°C and 900°C and for a cooking time of 24 hours. After heat treatment, quartz and calcite have been slightly diminished and remain as main crystalline components. An absence of kaolinite and dolomite was observed for the samples studied at a temperature of 600°C. At the temperature of 900°C there was appearance of dolomite for brick slip. The results of this work show that we can valorize the marine sediments of the Bethioua port in the manufacture of bricks and have a higher resistance with a temperature of 600°C than that of the brick of reference to 900°C.

Ce travail entre dans le cadre du développement de solutions alternatives pour une meilleure gestion des sédiments de dragage ou de curage. Les travaux menés dans le cadre de ce travail portent principalement sur la valorisation des sédiments marins du port de Bethioua. On a étudié les propriétés minéralogiques de la barbotine de brique d’une briqueterie et la barbotine de brique à base de sédiments marins du port de Bethioua, Oran (Algérie). Les briques confectionnées à base de sédiment du port Bethioua à l’échelle du laboratoire présentent des performances mécaniques analogues aux briques de référence avec un taux de substitution de 5 % mais avec une faible température de cuisson (600°C au lieu de 900°C). L’étude minéralogique des échantillons a été comparée avant et après cuisson pour une température de 600°C et 900°C et pour une durée de cuisson de 24 heures. Après un traitement thermique, le quartz et la calcite ont été légèrement diminués et restent comme principaux composants cristallins. Une absence de kaolinite et de dolomite a été observée pour les échantillons étudiés à une température de 600°C. A la température de 900°C il y a eu apparition de la dolomite pour la barbotine de brique. Les résultats de ce travail montrent qu’on peut valoriser les sédiments marins du port de Bethioua dans la fabrication des briques et avoir une résistance plus élevée avec une température de 600°C que celle de la brique de référence à 900°C.
Nonlinear forcing mechanisms of the migrating terdiurnal solar tide and their impact on the zonal mean circulation
Authors: Lilienthal Friederike , Jacobi Christoph
Published: October 2019

Abstract. We investigate the forcing mechanisms of the terdiurnal solar tide in the middle atmosphere using a mechanistic global circulation model.
In order to quantify their individual contributions, we perform several model experiments and separate each forcing mechanism by switching off the remaining sources.
We find that the primary excitation is owing to the terdiurnal component of solar radiation absorption in the troposphere and stratosphere. Secondary sources are nonlinear tide–tide interactions and gravity wave–tide interactions.
Thus, although the solar heating clearly dominates the terdiurnal forcing in our simulations, we find that nonlinear tidal and gravity wave interactions contribute in certain seasons and at certain altitudes.
By slightly enhancing the different excitation sources, we test the sensitivity of the background circulation to these changes of the dynamics.
As a result, the increase of terdiurnal gravity wave drag can strongly affect the middle and upper atmosphere dynamics, including an irregular change of the terdiurnal amplitude, a weakening of neutral winds in the thermosphere, and a significant temperature change in the thermosphere, depending on the strength of the forcing.
On the contrary, the influence of nonlinear tidal interactions on the middle atmosphere background dynamics is rather small.

The Birth and Death of a Professional Wrestling Alter-Ego: Takahara Hidekazu’s Gamushara and the Loss of a Transgressive Identity
Authors: Ben-Youssef Fareed
Published: October 2019

Japanese filmmaker Takahara Hidekazu's film Gamushara (2015), portrays joshi puroresu (female professional wrestling) star Yasukawa Act working through the trauma of sexual abuse through the spectacular world of professional wrestling. Shortly before the film’s release, Yasukawa was involved in what the Japanese media labeled the "Ghastly Match," wherein she had her orbital bone shattered in the ring. Takahara followed Yasukawa over the course of a year, tracking her recovery as well as her sudden retirement due to injury. The ensuing long form documentary was included on the film’s home video release and offers a unique portrait of a woman holding on to her spectacular, transgressive identity before letting it die. The cycle offers a portrait of the birth and death of an identity, built upon the receiving and inflicting of violence, at the point of healing and asks: what strength is lost within this process? What freedom is gained at the loss of an alter-ego defined by a transgressive femininity? In answering such questions, it frames the potential hold of the audience on a transgressive in-ring persona—a metaphorical wrestling match that pits viewer against artist—while revealing the difficulties for a woman working to change and overcome the ‘script’ that governs her in-ring performances and shades her traumas.The article frames Yasukawa’s growing alienation from her selves through close formal analysis of the films, interviews with the filmmaking team and fellow wrestlers, and a theoretical framework that combines studies on recovery from trauma with those detailing the transgressive possibility of wrestling and its structuring dichotomy between the fake and the real. It positions the film against previous representations of joshi puroresu in cinema to track the shifting gender politics of the form as it has come to be appreciated by a largely male audience as well as against Takahara’s previous self-critical pornographic Pink Films. Such comparisons underline how Yasukawa’s feminine transgression exists within a fraught and muddled setting often shaped by a male gaze. To consider the possibilities and limits of Yasukawa’s multivalent transgression of both gender and identity norms as well as the operating scripts of professional wrestling and trauma, the article also engages with gender scholar Sharon Marcus’ writing on how the rape script might be transcended via the development of a woman’s capacity for violence.Through such a critical prism, Takahara’s Gamushara cycle ultimately emerges as a vital and crucially murky documentary series for gender and media scholars concerned with the tensions of identity formation within spaces of spectacle wherein one’s performed screams might mask one’s real cries for help.
Arte, cuerpo e identidad para una investigación-acción participante con estudiantes afrodescendientes
Authors: Cebrián Martínez Ana , Rocu Gómez Patricia
Published: October 2019

Afronteriz*s es un programa de co-aprendizaje (entre arteeducadoras y educadoras de la comunidad afrodescencendiente y estudiantes de secundaria), un grupo de investigación-acción y práctica colaborativa que surge en 2016 en el Centro de Residencias Artísticas de Matadero Madrid.(*) La educación es una herramienta esencial para la consecución de una sociedad en la que las diferencias no sean percibidas como algo negativo y donde no se invisibilicen las problemáticas que se dan desde los planteamientos multiculturalistas tales como: negación del racismo institucional, invisibilización de los conflictos estructurales, categorización de la diversidad obviando la realidad interseccional y de conciencia mestiza (Anzaldúa, 2004)). Reconocemos la necesidad de una educación transcultural (Onghena, 2014; Ortiz, 2002), en la cual la diversidad que vemos cada día en nuestras calles pase a formar parte de los planes de estudio de los diferentes niveles del sistema educativo español. Es por ello que con este estudio aproximativo queremos abordar los resultados obtenidos a partir del trabajo con referentes racializados, el pensamiento crítico, el trabajo con el cuerpo y la identidad o el análisis del arte y la cultura visual. Presentamos un estudio de caso en el aula de 3º de la E.S.O PMAR del IES PRADOLONGO, en el distrito de Usera (Madrid). Los talleres llevados a cabo han demostrado ser un refuerzo de la autoestima de los estudiantes, proporcionándoles mejores herramientas para el análisis de su realidad social, favoreciendo sus posibilidades de inclusión, empoderamiento y desarrollo personal, lo que les permite actuar como mediadores para la prevención de los conflictos que puedan iniciarse en el contexto del aula-centro educativo. *El grupo Afronteriz*s es un proyecto surgido del Espacio ConcienciaAfro, grupo de pensamiento del Centro de Residencias Artísticas de Matadero Madrid. Es coordinado por Ana Cebrián y está compuesto por los siguientes miembros: Ana Cebrián, Patricia Rocu, Yeison García López, Yos Piña, Sara Martín López, Sheherezade F. Shephard. y Victoria Cupe.

“The Third Position”. An art-therapy technique used in supervision to help understand what is behind conditioned and reactive patterns
Authors: Van Vugt Ad
Published: October 2019

Real consciousness needs time and adequate space to develop and help us to stop automatic unconscious reactions in order to create awareness and presence. Feelings, thoughts and behaviour usually come from conditioned assumptions. In supervision our goal is to look “behind” those automatic assumptions, using techniques that help to connect to the real need, in order to find positive alternatives to automatic reactive patterns. When 60 to 80% from our behaviour is ruled by non-verbal information talking it is not enough. Art-therapy techniques will mirror not only conscious but also unconscious information. Our expression opens doors to an understanding of what is the reality behind our usual assumptions. The “Third Position” is a technique that I developed in which we create a space to give form to the situation we want to work with.
Effect of compost and natural rocks as partial substitutes for NPK mineral fertilizers on yield and fruit quality of ‘Flame’ seedless grapevine grown in two different locations of Egypt
Authors: Slama Mohyeldein I. , Omar Alaa E. K. , Bassiony Saber S. , Ghoneem Ghoneem M.
Published: October 2019

Aim of study: To evaluate the use of compost and natural rocks as partial replacement of mineral fertilizers in ‘Flame’ seedless grape vineyards.Area of study: The present work was conducted during three successive seasons (2016, 2017 and 2018), being the first season a preliminary trial on 4-yr old grapes cultivated in two different soil types (sandy and clay) at two different locations, Egypt (Abo Galeb, Giza governorate; EL-Mahala, Gharbia governorate).Material and methods: Treatments were applied as natural raw materials at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% out of recommended mineral NPK rate. The mineral fertilizers used were ammonium sulfate (21.6% N), calcium super phosphate (15.5% P2O5) and potassium sulfate (48% K2O). The natural rocks used were phosphate rock (22.0% P2O5) and Feldspar (10.12% K2O). Yield and fruit characteristics and leaf mineral content were determined.Main results: Using compost in combination with natural rocks enriched with NPK mobilization bacteria and mineral NPK enhanced leaf nutrients content and gave the highest yield and cluster weight. This mix also improved berries physical and chemical characteristics. There was an increase in soluble solids content (SSC), SSC/acid ratio, and anthocyanin content, associated with a reduction in nitrate content of the berry juice. The most pronounced effect was related to using 60% mineral fertilization + 40% organic and natural rocks in both vineyard locations.Research highlights: We can reduce the recommended doses of mineral NPK by about 40%, reducing then the soil pollution.

Published: October 2019

Aim of study: To determine compatibility relationships and select suitable pollinizers for two olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars (‘Amygdalolia’ and ‘Konservalia’).Area of study: The Kazeroun Olive Research Station, Fars, Iran.Material and methods: Emasculated flowers from ‘Amygdalolia’ and ‘Konservalia’ cultivars were treated with self-pollination, open-pollination, and cross-pollination with pollen from cultivars such as ‘Dacal’, ‘Amygdalolia’,‘Konservalia’, ‘Koroniki’, and ‘Manzanilla’. Controlled pollination, pollen tube growth, and molecular analysis were employed.Main results: Controlled pollination, pollen tube growth, and molecular analysis showed that cross-pollination was beneficial for ‘Amygdalolia’ compared to self-pollination. The results showed that this cultivar is self-incompatible, and its best pollinator is the ‘Dacal’ cultivar. Experiment results indicated that ‘Konservalia’ behaves as a self-compatible cultivar. The highest fruit percentage and higher pollen tube growth rates were found in self-pollination treatments. Molecular attempts to isolate candidates for sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI) led the researchers to analyze the expression of SRK and SLG genes.Research highlights: The results indicated an antagonist transcriptional expression pattern in the flowers of ‘Amygdalolia’, classified as a self-incompatible cultivar, and ‘Konservalia’, classified as a self-compatible cultivar, for the SRK and SLG genes.
Interactions of Financial Assistance and Financial Reporting Competency: Evidence From Local Government in Papua and West Papua Indonesia
Authors: Ramandei Pilipus , Rohman Abdul , Ratmono Dwi , Ghozali Imam
Published: October 2019

Good local government financial statements are financial statements according to the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, which are relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable. However, the phenomenon shows that there are still weaknesses in financial reporting in several local governments in Indonesia, especially in the provinces of Papua and West Papua based on the findings of the Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (IHPS II BPK, 2017). The purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence of the role of moderating financial assistance and apparatus competency on the quality of government financial reports. Explanation of the relationship between variables was using an institutional theory perspective. The survey was conducted in 2018 on 42 Local Governments in Papua and West Papua. Methods of processing and analyzing data were using SEM-PLS with WarpPLS 6.0 statistical software. The results of the apparatus competency research have a positive effect on the quality of financial statements. A financial resistance positively strengthens the influence of apparatus competency on the quality of local government financial reports. Thus, efforts to overcome the presentation of quality financial statements require competent apparatus through the existence of financial assistance policies. Limitations of the study are the method of collecting data using a questionnaire and that it is very possible for the bias to occur. Therefore, efforts to achieve better results need to be accompanied by an interview method in order to obtain additional information as a comparison of respondents' answers; 2) the determination coefficient value of R- square is 0.41 or 41% indicating that there are still 0.59 or 59% variability in the quality of Local Government Financial Statements (LKPD) which can be explained by other variables outside the research model.
A Rational Approach to Reversibility via Carnot’s Lost-Work
Authors: Íñiguez José C.
Published: October 2019

The reversibility definition emerging from Carnot’s ‘lost-work’ notion or, equivalently, from considerations of optimal efficiency and lack of dissipation is here qualified as a rational alternative to that which based on Planck’s constant total-entropy criterion resorts to either a sequence of equilibrium states or the action of infinitesimal forces for the definition of the reversible path.
Where are the boundaries of intellectual property protection? (on the margin of the discussion on the EP decision of 26/03/2019, the so-called ACTA 2)
Authors: Sobiecki Roman
Published: October 2019

The protection of intellectual property is necessary just as the protection of any property. However, it should not lead to creating undue benefits being the result of other people’s investments. Will the new directive, supported by artists and publishers, meet these expectations? The author recalls the discussions that took place during creating ACTA 1 in 2012 and the current effects of these provisions. According to the author, the main threat is the progressive privatization of knowledge, which means that there is less and less room for knowledge as a general, social and public good. Research at universities is carried out thanks to the free flow of information and knowledge already accumulated by generations of scientists.

Drugs used in viral diseases – their mechanism of action, selected adverse effects and safety during pregnancy and lactation
Authors: Dyrka Kamil , Miedziaszczyk Miłosz , Szałek Edyta , Łącka Katarzyna
Published: October 2019

Viruses cause many diseases in humans, from self-resolving diseases to acute fatal diseases. New antiviral drugs are registered and the efficacy and safety of other medicines are evaluated in clinical trials. Antiviral therapy significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality of patients, but may cause numerous adverse effects. The aim of this study is to discuss the mechanism, selected adverse effects of available antivirals and their safety during pregnancy and lactation. The authors refer to the classification of drugs used during pregnancy and recommendations for breastfeeding, which, for example, definitely prohibit the use of ribavirin. The authors also pay attention to the monitoring of selected diagnostic parameters to improve the treatment results. Clinicians should limit adverse effects through an individual, specific to the patient treatment regimen. Physicians should pay special attention to the use of antiviral drugs in pregnant and breast-feeding women. Clinical trials should be continued to increase knowledge about the adverse effects of antiviral medicines.
Australian Legal Exceptionalism and the Bill of Rights
Authors: Kampmark Binoy ,   Center for Peace and Justice Education at Villanova University
Published: October 2019

This paper provides a systematic legal and cultural overview of the reasons behind the opposition to an entrenched Bill or Charter of Rights within a special liberal democratic setting. Specific reference is made to Australia given that the country remains the last liberal democracy to resist adopting such a measure of protection for human rights. The paper further argues that Australian opposition to such a bill has assumed the category of exceptionalist rhetoric couched in a very specific socio-legal argot. A bill of rights is not needed, goes this assumption, because institutions are either reasonably functioning or self-correcting of any defects. Any legal changes made, goes such line of reasoning, should be reflected in the supreme will of Parliament, a body both sovereign and sagacious. This paper challenges such readings, suggesting that the argument against any bill of rights in the Australian context involves a core misunderstanding about what such an instrument actually does. It also identifies a fundamental parochialism, notably against the US legal tradition and instances when grave human rights abuses have been sanctioned by Parliament.
Ignatius, Poverty and a Commitment to the Poor
Authors: Kelly Thomas M. ,   Center for Peace and Justice Education at Villanova University
Published: October 2019

The vow of poverty is essential to many religious orders—as is their relationship to the actual people who are marginalized and poor in their context. This article traces the origin of Ignatius of Loyola’s embrace of poverty and its transferal to the Society of Jesus he founded. It follows the challenge of maintaining that commitment considering the principle ministry of the Society in education. Finally, it notes developments in the past 60 years for how “faith and justice” are framed and understood. Ignatius’ preference for Jesuits to live in proximity to the poor is certainly challenged in the U.S. context of higher education.
Empowered Peace
Authors: Ahern Patrick ,   Center for Peace and Justice Education at Villanova University
Published: October 2019

Spinoza’s defense of a dynamic democracy arises from his account of finite beings, and shifts from finite beings to ever more complex bodies, such as the human individual and the artificial individual of the state. In this account, he challenges political authority to be responsive to the insight that our power arises out of rather than in spite of our multiplicity. Spinoza’s conception of social power provides a critical understanding of democratic organization that requires the incorporation of marginalized voices. In this essay, I argue that Spinoza’s defense of democracy sets the framework for political theorizing that rejects hierarchical structures of domination and demands substantial inclusivity in the service of empowered and peaceful social relations. In conceiving autonomy relationally and individual power collectively, Spinoza poses a critical challenge to the contemporary models of democracy and social orders that resist rather than harness the strength of social multiplicity in the preservation of empowered peace.
Cultural Politics Through the Eyes of Mohajir Women

Published: October 2019

This article draws on qualitative research to examine Mohajir women’s construction of and understanding of their ethnopolitical Mohajir identity in the port city of Karachi, Pakistan, The Mohajir identity is constructed around a shared language amongst individuals with historically diverse backgrounds, and has proven to be a potent yet divisive ethnopolitical identity. The article argues that in order to assuage the grievances of the Mohajirs, sociopolitical steps such as elimination of the job quota system must be taken by the government in order for sustainable peace to be achieved.
A INCRÍVEL DOUTRINA DE UM CASO SÓ: ANÁLISE DO ESTADO DE COISAS INCONSTITUCIONAL NA ADPF 347
Authors: Magalhães Breno Baía
Published: October 2019

O artigo pretende realizar uma análise dogmática da ADPF 347, precedente que inseriu a categoria Estado de Coisas Inconstitucional (ECI) no cânone interpretativo do Direito Constitucional brasileiro. A criação da categoria implica na delimitação de seus elementos para sua caracterização e aplicação em casos posteriores. Dessa forma, como método, o artigo pretende realizar uma análise dogmática dos elementos que perfazem a identificação de um ECI, de acordo com a decisão tomada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). O estudo dogmático partiu de uma descrição de seus contornos constitucionais, ou seja, dos requisitos para a declaração do ECI e suas características, para, em seguida, contestar a caracterização constitucional da categoria em análise e realçar a mobilização dos ministros do STF no sentido de limitar sua aplicabilidade apenas ao caso do sistema carcerário. O estudo conclui que as categorias dogmáticas são problemáticas do ponto de vista de sua coerência argumentativa e sua aplicação se restringirá ao caso do sistema carcerário brasileiro.
FUNDO DE COMPENSAÇÃO E EVENTOS EXTREMOS: ASPECTOS INTRODUTÓRIOS
Authors: Damacena Fernanda Dalla Libera
Published: October 2019

O presente artigo discorre sobre quais seriam os valores e critérios de um fundo de compensação como ferramenta relevante para o enfrentamento das perdas e danos decorrentes de eventos extremos associados ao clima. A investigação foi norteada por uma metodologia construtivista, complementada pelos métodos auxiliares exploratório e comparado. Experiências do direito comparado no que tange aos fundos criados para reparação de desastres antropogênicos são boas fontes de observação em relação aos pontos positivos e negativos no momento da constituição de um fundo de compensação. Individualmente ou mesmo como parte de uma estratégia maior de camadas de gestão de risco de desastre, desde que constituído ex ante, e por lei específica, o fundo é uma tendência mundial na atualidade e pode ser uma alternativa para o Brasil. Inúmeras características o tornam mais eficaz e relativamente menos complexo que outros instrumentos compensatórios como a responsabilidade civil e o seguro.

Kaunas Jewish Gymnasium with the Lithuanian Language of Instruction: A Construct of Confrontation between Germans and Jews
Authors: Šetkus Benediktas
Published: October 2019

The present study is aimed at exploring the reasons for founding Kaunas Jewish Gymnasium with the Lithuanian language of instruction as well as its wider historical context. The article is based on the materials found in the collections of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Lithuania and available at the Lithuanian Central State Archives; the periodical publications of that time were also made use of. The article draws the reader’s attention to the fact that in the period after the First World War, when the independent state of Lithuania was founded, ethnic minorities were provided with a possibility of establishing their own national schools. Those schools were also attended by students of other nationalities, including Lithuanians. However, that was not typical of Jewish schools, which were attended exclusively by Jewish children. When the German gymnasium was established in Kaunas, it was attended by more than a hundred of Jewish children and a smaller number of children of other nationalities. The tuition fee was the same for all, irrespective of the nationality. However, the situation changed in 1925: the school-supporting society passed into the hands of Germans and issued the regulation that children of other nationalities should pay over three times more. The parents of the students, who were mostly Jews, objected to that regulation though they were not in the capacity to change the discriminating situation. Thus the children continued to attend the gymnasium, and their parents were made to pay the high tuition fee. When national socialists came to power in Germany with their leader Adolf Hitler in the position of the chancellor, the anti-Semitic manifestations became more widespread. The Lithuanian Jewish community expressed solidarity with the Jews in Germany by organizing protest meetings and announcing boycott of Germans in Lithuania. Under the circumstances, with the confrontation between Jews and Germans growing, the tension between Jewish and German students and their parents in Kaunas German gymnasium was also growing. In the spring of 1933, on the demand of the Jewish community, Jewish parents resolved to take their children from the German gymnasium. Jewish students that no longer attended Kaunas German gymnasium could continue studying in other Jewish gymnasiums in Kaunas. However, since the majority did not know the Hebrew language, the decision was made to establish a separate gymnasium with the Lithuanian language of instruction. This privately-supported gymnasium, Kaunas Jewish gymnasium with the Lithuanian language of instruction, opened in September 1933 and survived till the Soviet occupation. As the numbers of students were not big, the gymnasium experienced a constant shortage of resources.
Lithuanian Leisure and Holidays: Features of Formation of the Lithuanian Ethnic-Cultural Space in Vilnius and Puńsk-Sejny Regions
Authors: Šaknys Žilvytis
Published: October 2019

The article aims to reveal links between leisure and public holidays and the ethnic identity of young people in the formation of Lithuanian ethnic-cultural space in Vilnius and Puńsk-Sejny regions. To achieve the goal, the following objectives were established: (1) to reveal the concept of ethnic-cultural space and the possibilities for its formation, (2) to analyse the peculiarities of leisure time that brought the Lithuanians together, (3) to reveal the manifestation of ethnicity in the customs of religious festivals, and (4) to analyse the rituals of national holidays. The research showed that the features of “Lithuanian leisure” and “Lithuanian holidays” could be traced to the end of the nineteenth century and the twentieth century when they evolved in Lithuanian ethnographic areas outside the territory of the Republic of Lithuania or in Lithuania that had lost its statehood. Leisure time and holidays are a significant element of the ethnic-cultural space: whether secretly or legally, by means of the national symbols (flag, coat of arms, anthem, paintings of dukes), the language, and the social focus of the compatriots, they outline the boundaries of “Lithuanianness”, shape the ethnic identity, and enable resistance to the processes of ethnic assimilation. On the other hand, public cultural events of Lithuanian societies are also important for the modernisation of youth entertainment, initiating the cultivated communication between young people. The article is based on the material that the author collected during the fieldwork of 1988–2018 in Lithuania, Poland, and Belarus, as well as on other studies, archival sources, and publications.

Published: October 2019

Research was carried out at the Upytė Experimental Station of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry in 2015–2016. The effect of sowing rate (50, 75, 100 kg ha–1) and fertilization rate (N0P0K0; N45P45K45; N45P45K45 + N34,4; N45P45K45 + N68,8) on the biometric and structural parameters of the yield of hemp cultivars ‘Uso 31’ and ‘Felina 32’ was evaluated. It has been established that the accumulation of biomass, which determines fiber yield, strongly depends on the interaction of meteorological conditions, cultivar, sowing and fertilization rates. 100 kg ha–1 sowing rate in combination with the fertilization N45P45K45 + N34.4 resulted in the highest fiber yield of the cultivar ‘Uso 31’ in 2015, or in combination with N45P45K45 + N68.8 in 2016. While the combination of fertilization N45P45K45 + N34.4 with 75 kg ha–1 sowing rate in 2015 or with 100 kg ha–1 sowing rate in 2016 was most appropriate for the cultivar ‘Felina 32’. A positive, strong and statistically significant correlation (P < 0.05) was identified between the amount of biomass and the yield of fiber.

Long-term field experiment was established in 1966 at the Experimental Station of Vytautas Magnus University, in the crop rotation collection of the Institute of Agroecosystems and Soil Science established in 1967. The soil is brown drained deeper carbonic shallow clayey (RDg8–k2) – Endocalcari-Epihypogleyic Cambisol (sicco) (CMg-p-w-can). The experiment was carried out in crops of winter wheat, rye and barley of different crop rotation in sequence of different preceding/catch crops. Crops of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) ‘Matador’, wheat ‘Skagen’ and spring barley ‘Orphelija’ were sown in 8 crop rotations in sequence of different preceding (catch) crop and rye monocrops. The research aim was to investigate the effect of long-term crop rotations on the soil CO2 emission, and on the number and mass of earthworms. After pre-crops, leaving a large amount of plant residues in the soil, the CO2 emission intensity was the highest. It was established that after harvesting of winter cereals and spring barely, the plant residue had the most significant influence on the amount of earthworms.
La diversidad de género en los consejos de administración y el rendimiento empresarial: perspectivas actuales y futuras
Authors: Benito-Osorio Diana , Jiménez Alfredo , Díaz Dávila Clara , Zazo Vaquero Mónica
Published: October 2019

La diversidad de género es una pieza clave en la composición del Consejo de Administración. Sin embargo, la literatura no ha alcanzado un consenso respecto a sus repercusiones en el rendimiento empresarial. En este trabajo pretendemos revisar el estado de la cuestión actual, posibles lagunas y futuras líneas de investigación. Estructurando la revisión de la literatura en base al marco teórico empleado para explicar los mecanismos subyacentes en un primer paso, para después analizar los efectos empíricos observados (positivos, negativos o no significativos), encontramos que a pesar del abundante desarrollo teórico del análisis de la relación, existen todavía algunas limitaciones y deficiencias que proporcionan interesantes oportunidades de continuar avanzando en el entendimiento de la relación entre diversidad de género en el Consejo de Administración y el rendimiento empresarial.
Does Corporate Social Responsibility Reduce Earnings Management? The Moderating Role of Corporate Governance and Ownership
Authors: Ajina Aymen , Lakhal Faten , Ayed Sabrine
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility and earnings management and the moderating effect of corporate governance and ownership structure on this relationship. Using panel data for a sample of French listed companies between 2010 and 2013, we find that CSR engagementconstrain earnings management practices suggesting that managers would comply with the ethical requirements and satisfy stakeholders’ interests. The results also show that the effect of CSR on earnings management is particularly stronger in more independent boards and with high institutional ownership structure. These corporate governance devices help mitigating managerial opportunistic behavior.

Authors: Pellegrin-Boucher Estelle , Roy Pierre
Published: October 2019

L’article s’inscrit dans la littérature récente sur la stratégie de coopétition dans le domaine commercial en explorant en particulier le contexte des marchés avec procédure d’appel d’offres. Notre recherche entend enrichir cette littérature émergente en explorant cette stratégie à partir d’une étude qualitative au sein du secteur de l’architecture. La contribution principale réside dans la proposition d’un modèle conceptuel de la dynamique coopétitive commerciale avec appels d’offres. Trois formes spécifiques sont identifiées puis discutées dans cet article : la coopétition a priori, la réponse coopétitive et la coopétition a posteriori.
Performativité dans les organisations publiques : le cas de l’explicitation du Service européen pour l’action extérieure
Authors: Taupin Benjamin , Nivet Bastien
Published: October 2019

Cet article met à profit la notion d’épreuve d’explicitation (Muniesa, 2014) afin de contribuer à la compréhension du processus performatif dans les organisations publiques. L’analyse de la mise en place du Service européen pour l’action extérieure (SEAE) donne à voir la manière dont l’organisation élaborée a performé deux problématisations des affaires extérieures de l’Union européenne (UE), l’approche supranationale et l’approche intergouvernementale. Ce travail contribue à la recherche en management de deux manières. D’abord, il examine l’influence de problématisations alternatives aux sciences économiques, ici politiques, dans la performation de la réalité organisationnelle. Ensuite, il offre, à travers la notion d’épreuve d’explicitation, une perspective permettant de compléter la connaissance du processus de performativité dans les organisations, en se focalisant sur la manière dont les dispositifs organisationnels font acquérir une réalité aux énoncés.
