Capital Market Determinants and Market Capitalization in Nigeria
Authors: Omodero Cordelia Onyinyechi
Published: December 2019

Capital market plays a crucial role in a country’s national development and economic capacity building. However, there are economic forces that determine the success of a capital market development in every nation. This study investigates the role of these economic indicators in determining the capital market performance in Nigeria using secondary data covering a period from 1998 to 2018. These data have been sourced from the World Bank Development Indicators, International Monetary Fund and CBN Statistical Bulletin, 2018 edition. The results from the regression analysis indicate that exchange rate and inflation rate have immaterial undesirable consequence on capital market capitalization (CMC) while the interest rate exerts a weighty harmful effect on CMC. The study also provides evidence that the gross domestic product (GDP) has a substantial positive impact on CMC. The study among others suggests that the growth of the economy should be sustained in order to keep boosting the capital market. However, the economic indicators such as inflation, interest rate and exchange rate should be kept under strict control by the relevant authorities in the country.
A Comparative Study of Test Takers’ Performance on Computer-Based Test and Paper-Based Test Across Different CEFR Levels
Authors: Yao Don
Published: December 2019

Computer-based test (CBT) and paper-based test (PBT) are two test modes to the test takers that have been widely adopted in the field of language testing or assessment over the last few decades. Due to the rapid development of science and technology, it is a trend for universities and educational institutions striving rather hard to deliver the test on a computer. Therefore, research on the comparison between these two test modes has attracted much attention to investigate whether the PBT could be completely replaced. At the same time, task difficulty is always a key element to reflect test takers’ performances. Numerous studies have laid a solid foundation and guidance about the comparative study of test takers’ performance on CBT and PBT, but there still remains a scarcity from the perspective of task difficulties with different Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) task levels in particular.

This study, therefore, compared the test takers’ performance on both CBT and PBT across tasks with different CEFR levels. A total of 289 principal recommended high school test takers from Macau took the pilot Test of Academic English (TAE) at a local university. The results indicated that there was a difference between test takers’ performance on different test modes across different CEFR levels, but only CEFR A2 level showed a statistically difference between CBT and PBT. And since science and technology are continuously developing, it is essential for the university to consider switching the test mode from PBT to CBT.
Resenha crítica da obra Texto e leitor: aspectos cognitivos da leitura da autora Angela Kleiman
Authors: De Carvalho Rute Kaizer
Published: December 2019

Texto e leitor: Aspectos cognitivos da leitura completa 28 anos de publicação. Contudo, as teorias cognitivas sobre a compreensão textual nele apresentadas não são ultrapassadas, tampouco errôneas. O que torna essa mais recente edição diferente da primeira é o fato de que a autora torna explícito o que antes estava implícito: ler envolve mais do que o ato da compreensão. Na leitura se englobam o que foi entendido e o que foi mal interpretado, a experiência individual e o engajamento social.
A inserção da educação para o trânsito nas escolas a partir da influência e orientação da gestão escolar
Authors: Souza Pedro Ramon Pinheiro de
Published: December 2019

A gestão escolar deve ser uma atividade sistematizada com todos os que fazem a escola, com base em uma educação formativa de natureza permanente; uma educação que foca em pontos essenciais contornada para a mudança e uma proposição de valores éticos e com atenção para a oferta de educação para o trânsito. Assim, objetivou-se analisar a gestão escolar e sua relação com o trabalho docente e a transversalidade impulsionadora da educação para o trânsito. O percurso metodológico utilizado para atingir o objetivo desta pesquisa científica aplicada foi conduzido através de uma abordagem qualitativa. O referencial teórico construído a partir da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental demonstra que a gestão escolar exerce poder de influência e orientação na construção do material a ser utilizado pelo professor, de maneira que a oferta da educação para o trânsito, de maneira transversal, em sala de aula pode ser aperfeiçoada a partir das iniciativas da gestão escolar.
Políticas Públicas e seus ciclos na área educacional: o caso do Ensino de Música
Authors: Matias Breno Henrique , Jardilino José Rubens Lima
Published: December 2019

Resumo: Este artigo faz uma análise da Lei 11.769/2008, que instituiu a música na escola como conteúdo da educação básica. Partindo da concepção de políticas públicas, tomará como aporte teórico os ciclos de políticas considerando a demanda inicial até a sua implementação. Metodologicamente este artigo se ampara na análise documental buscando demonstrar a importância da atuação/intervenção direta dos burocratas e de sua discrição no resultado esperado ao inserir a música na escola. Concluímos que a não inserção ou não da música na escola foi tratada com dubiedade, quando nos processos de implementação a discrição imperou mais que a própria lei, levando a música a não se tornar uma disciplina escolar na educação brasileira. Palavras-chaves: Políticas Públicas. Educação Musical. Educação Básica.
Modelo de apoio à decisão entre produzir ou terceirizar
Authors: Aragão João Paulo Santos , Holanda Cínthia Ladjane de Souza , Fontana Marcele Elisa
Published: December 2019

A decisão entre produzir ou terceirizar envolve múltiplos critérios, como custos, qualidade, aspectos gerenciais, entre outros, muitas vezes conflitantes entre si. A fim de evitar erros clássicos cometidos, em que geralmente considera-se apenas o custo como critério de avaliação, faz-se necessário determinar os critérios relevantes. Neste sentido, a utilização de uma abordagem formal para apoio à decisão torna-se fundamental para que o decisor adote a melhor alternativa, considerando as suas preferências e o conjunto de critérios envolvidos. Desta forma, este trabalho propôs um modelo de apoio à decisão entre produzir ou terceirizar, por meio do uso de Mapa Cognitivo e de um método multicritério de apoio à decisão (MCDA). Um estudo de caso no Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL) de confecções do Agreste Pernambucano, Brasil, foi apresentado. O modelo proposto foi capaz de auxiliar na definição dos critérios de avaliação, apoiando a tomada decisão de forma eficaz.

(Zu) Versorgende Geflüchtete? Analyse der sozialen Bedeutungen ökonomischer Praktiken von Geflüchteten in Uganda
Authors: Schmidt Hannah , Krause Ulrike
Published: December 2019

Wie setzen sich geflüchtete Menschen, die in restriktiven Verhältnissen in Aufnahmeländern im Globalen Süden leben, für wirtschaftliche Stabilität ein und welche sozialen Bedeutungen können ihren Praktiken beigemessen werden? Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags und wird anhand qualitativer empirischer Forschung mit einem Mehrmethodenansatz in Uganda und einem Agency-Fokus nach Emirbayer und Mische untersucht. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass humanitäre Fördermaßnahmen in Uganda zwar auf die Unterstützung von Geflüchteten teils als wirtschaftliche Akteur*innen abzielen, aber dass die eigens mobilisierten Ressourcen von besonderer Bedeutung für die Menschen sind. Soziale Netzwerke sind ausschlaggebend sowohl für die Aufnahme ökonomischer Praktiken einzelner als auch die daraus folgende Übernahme sozialer und wirtschaftlicher Funktionen anderer Geflüchteter. Auf Grundlage dessen argumentieren wir, dass wirtschaftliche Praktiken unter Geflüchteten den Charakter relationaler Agency haben, indem sich diese durch ihre soziale Verwobenheit konstituieren und reproduzierend wirken.
Kooperationsgewinne in institutionalisierten Netzwerken durch wertschöpfungskettenbasiertes Infrastruktur-Management – Anregungen aus einer konzeptionellen Fallstudie
Authors: Hinz Elmar , Süllau Kai-Christian
Published: December 2019

An Hand der konzeptionellen Fallstudie EIN-HARZ-Initiative wird gezeigt, dass strategische Regionsbildung ein Ansatz eigenständiger Regionalentwicklung sein könnte. Wird Regional Governance nämlich als Netzwerk und damit als hybrider Koordinationsmodus zwischen Markt und Hierarchie gedeutet, braucht es für die Netzwerkmitglieder einen dauerhaften Anreiz zur Kooperation. In Leistungsproduktionsnetzwerken können dazu mit Methoden des strategischen Managements kooperative Kernkompetenzen entwickelt und neue Leistungsbündel des Gesamtstandorts inner- oder außerhalb der Region positioniert werden. Wertschöpfungskettensysteme von Infrastrukturen in ländlichen Regionen sind dabei ein bisher kaum berücksichtigtes Potential eigenständiger Regionalentwicklung.
Multiplizität als Alleinstellungsmerkmal
Authors: Wiener Antje
Published: December 2019

Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit Justin Rosenbergs Vorschlag, das Alleinstellungsmerkmal der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) als Disziplin durch die Fokussierung auf das Konzept der Multiplizität zu stärken. Der Beitrag nimmt den Vorschlag positiv auf und diskutiert dann zur Ausgestaltung des Projekts zentrale konzeptionelle Aspekte zur Umsetzung dieses Vorschlags kritisch. Im Detail befasst sich der Artikel in drei Abschnitten erstens mit der Definition von Multiplizität als Konzept, das sowohl die pluralistische Konstitution der globalen Ordnung reflektiert als auch den kritischen Umgang mit dieser Konstitution ermöglicht, sowie zweitens mit der Bereitschaft zum innerdisziplinären Dialog als Vehikel der Neugründung der IB-Theorie und schließlich drittens mit der Frage der Definition von Agency im Zusammenhang mit Internationalität. Zusammenfassend wird zur Ausgestaltung von Multiplizität als Kernkonzept einer IB mit Alleinstellungsanspruch in den Sozialwissenschaften vorgeschlagen, Rosenbergs theoretisch eher eng gefassten Internationalitätsbegriff mit Bezug auf das Spektrum jüngerer IB-Theorien nachhaltig zu erweitern.
Wie enden internationale Sanktionen?
Authors: Grauvogel Julia , Attia Hana
Published: December 2019

Die Forschung über internationale Sanktionen hat sich in der Vergangenheit vor allem auf die Implementierung und Wirksamkeit konzentriert und die Beendigung außer Acht gelassen. Traditionelle Erklärungsansätze, die Sanktionen als Instrument rationaler, zwischenstaatlicher Verhandlungen betrachten, erklären die Dauer und das Ende von Sanktionen mit Hilfe von Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnungen. Dabei wird jedoch das Wechselspiel zwischen Lockerung, Stagnation und Intensivierung von Sanktionen unzureichend erfasst. Auch die vielfältigen sozialen Beziehungen und die politischen Signale, die von einer Beendigung von Sanktionen ausgehen, finden nicht ausreichend Beachtung. Um diese Lücken zu schließen, schlägt der Artikel ein prozessorientiertes und relationales Verständnis der Beendigung von Sanktionen vor. Es wird auch berücksichtigt, dass die Aufhebung von Sanktionen die politische Isolation des Sanktionszieles beendet, was Gegenstand intensiver diskursiver Auseinandersetzungen sein kann. Fallstudien zu Simbabwe und dem Iran veranschaulichen, wie ein solcher Ansatz Aufschluss über verschiedene Handlungslogiken gibt, die Prozesse der Sanktionsbeendigung prägen, und so zu einem ganzheitlicheren Verständnis von Sanktionen beiträgt.
Pierre Bourdieu und die Möglichkeiten der Kritik in der Praxistheorie
Authors: Holthaus Leonie
Published: December 2019

Die Soziologie von Pierre Bourdieu wird in der Praxistheorie vielfach diskutiert. Dieser Beitrag stellt die Debatte zunächst vor dem Hintergrund der länger währenden Rezeption von Bourdieus Soziologie in der Disziplin der Internationalen Beziehungen (IB) vor, bevor er eine nicht-strukturalistische Interpretation von Bourdieus Soziologie verteidigt und für kritische, aber nicht zu distanzierte Studien plädiert. Mit Blick auf die Bourdieu-Rezeption wird gezeigt, dass Bourdieu zunächst kritische Perspektiven in der IB inspirierte, bevor er zum vielzitierten Referenztheoretiker der mainstreamtauglichen Anteile der Praxistheorie wurde. Auch wenn die Vereinnahmung des kritischen Soziologen hier Widerstand hervorruft, unterstellen praxistheoretische KritikerInnen Bourdieu dennoch, (wieder) zunehmend erfolgreich eine Soziologie der sozialen Reproduktion vorgelegt zu haben, welche die empirische Forschung kaum bereichert. Durch eine konkurrierende Diskussion seiner Terminologie versucht dieser Beitrag, diesen Vorwurf zu entkräften. Anschließend werden bestehende, von Bourdieu inspirierte Forderungen nach interpretativen, historischen und reflexiven Forschungspraktiken zu einem Plädoyer für kritische Studien, die jedoch erfahrungsnahes Wissen aufnehmen, verdichtet.
Migração e desenvolvimento: uma análise do município de Barcarena-PA
Authors: Machado Brena Regina Lopes , Silva Hyngrid Athe Conceição , Lira Jonatha Rodrigo de Oliveira
Published: December 2019

Este artigo apresenta uma análise das principais mudanças enfrentadas pela cidade de Barcarena, uma vez que foi escolhida para sediar vários projetos industriais e portos para embarques de produtos industrializados e principalmente mercadorias para o Japão, Estados Unidos e vários países europeus. Analisamos o processo de migração, suas motivações, reflexos e, como se relacionam, sobretudo, com a chegada de empresas, que provocaram transformações demográficas e econômicas em Barcarena. Nesse sentido, o desenvolvimento econômico é discutido no contexto da fase de construção do porto e da operação das empresas Albras e Alunorte. Isso é particularmente discutido, dada a reorganização espacial e territorial, e a contradição observada desde a década de 1990, em relação a esse município como tendo um dos maiores PIB e PIB per capita do estado do Pará, apesar dos registros de baixos índices de desenvolvimento humano.
Surrealism Is Not an Alternative to Scientific Realism
Authors: Park Seungbae ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2019

Surrealism holds that observables behave as if T were true, whereas scientific realism holds that T is true. Surrealism and scientific realism give different explanations of why T is empirically adequate. According to surrealism, T is empirically adequate because observables behave as if it were true. According to scientific realism, T is empirically adequate because it is true. I argue that the surrealist explanation merely clarifies the concept of empirical adequacy, whereas the realist explanation makes an inductive inference about T. Therefore, the surrealist explanation is a conceptual one, whereas the realist explanation is an empirical one, and the former is not an alternative to the latter.
Unstable Knowledge, Unstable Belief
Authors: Rott Hans ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2019

An idea going back to Plato’s Meno is that knowledge is stable. Recently, a seemingly stronger and more exciting thesis has been advanced, namely that rational belief is stable. I sketch two stability theories of knowledge and rational belief, and present an example intended to show that knowledge need not be stable and rational belief need not be stable either. The second claim does not follow from the first, even if we take knowledge to be a special kind of rational belief. ‘Stability’ is an ambiguous term that has an internally conditional structure.
Factivity and Epistemic Certainty
Authors: Mizrahi Moti ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: December 2019

This is a reply to Howard Sankey’s comment (“Factivity or Grounds? Comment on Mizrahi”) on my paper, “You Can’t Handle the Truth: Knowledge = Epistemic Certainty,” in which I present an argument from the factivity of knowledge for the conclusion that knowledge is epistemic certainty. While Sankey is right that factivity does not entail epistemic certainty, the factivity of knowledge does entail that knowledge is epistemic certainty.
Parents’ sport socialization values, perceived motivational climate and adolescents’ antisocial behaviors
Authors: Danioni Francesca , Barni Daniela
Published: December 2019

Parents play a key role in young athletes’ sport experience. In particular, parents’ sport goals for children may influence young athletes’ morally relevant sport behaviors. The present study involves 172 Italian adolescents (female = 51.7%; age M = 15.41, SD = 1.73) practicing team sports and analyzed whether and the extent to which parents’ sport socialization values, those values adolescents perceived their parents wanted them to endorse (i.e., moral, competence, status values), were associated with young athletes’ antisocial behaviors towards teammates and opponents. Adolescents’ perceptions of the prominent motivational climate (i.e., mastery and performance) within their team were also considered. Participants were asked to fill out questionnaires, including the Youth Sport Values Questionnaire-2, adapted to measure adolescents’ perceptions of parental socialization values, the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire and the Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior in Sport Scale. The results of multiple linear regression analysis and relative weight analysis showed that mastery motivational climate, as protective factor, and mothers’ status values, as risk factor, were the most important variables in predicting adolescents’ antisocial behavior towards teammates. As far as adolescents’ antisocial behavior towards opponents was concerned, performance motivational climate and mothers’ status values were the most relevant predictors: the more adolescents perceived their coaches and mothers as giving importance to performance and status, the higher was the frequency of their antisocial behavior in sport. Implications and further developments of the study are discussed.
The associations between workplace bullying and physical or psychological negative symptoms: Anxiety and depression as mediators
Authors: Lo Presti Alessandro , Pappone Paolo , Landolfi Alfonso
Published: December 2019

Workplace bullying is a critical issue for its negative consequences on victims’ health and well-being. This study aimed at examining the intermediate roles of anxiety and depression, in the relations between workplace bullying as a predictor, and physical and psychological negative symptoms as outcomes. In particular, it was hypothesized that workplace bullying would be associated with higher anxiety and depression and, through them, with higher physical and psychological negative symptoms. We sampled 151 Italian employees, who called on a workplace bullying public clinical center as victims and filled a paper-and-pencil questionnaire. Results of bootstrapped regressions showed that only anxiety mediated the association of workplace bullying with negative physical symptoms while both anxiety and depression mediated its association with negative psychological symptoms. The results have implications for the development of appropriate intervention strategies for both prevention and clinical treatment. In particular, timely diagnosing and treating anxiety and depression could prevent subsequent problems related to psychological and physical symptoms such as colitis, headache, tiredness, nervousness, etc. Organizational interventions in terms of primary prevention are also discussed. From an empirical standpoint, the study contributed to disentangling the differential roles of anxiety and depression with respect to physical and psychological symptoms; moreover, overcoming a common limit of workplace bullying research, the current study was carried out on actual victims.
Systematic review of the proposed associations between physical exercise and creative thinking
Authors: Frith Emily , Ryu Seungho , Kang Minsoo , Loprinzi Paul D.
Published: December 2019

The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between physical exercise and creative thinking. A systematic review approach was employed by searching PubMed, Google Scholar and PsychInfo databases. Among the evaluated 13 studies, 92% indicated a beneficial relationship. However, 77% were vulnerable to moderate-high risk for methodological bias, suggesting adherence to standardized and controlled research initiatives should be promoted. There appears to be weak to modest support for acute, moderate-intensity exercise to benefit creativity. Exercise timing relative to creativity assessment protocols should be addressed and further detailed. Creativity scoring procedures must be refined, and an increased focus on the motivational components of exercise may help guide researchers in measuring creative thoughts and behavior. Broader concluding claims that creativity, in general, is improved or impaired by exercise, is as problematic as sweeping statements that exercise improves or impairs a measure as dynamic as intelligence. Scientific inquiries must specify precisely which outcome characteristics are changing in line with research interventions. This review identifies several fallible linkages between physical activity and creativity. Too few studies were conducted on strong methodological foundations, perpetuating the risk for undermining or inaccurately inflating the potential association between exercise and creative thinking behavior.
The illusion of knowing in college: A field study of students with a teacher-centered educational past
Authors: Pilotti Maura A. E. , El Alaoui Khadija , Mulhem Huda , Al Kuhayli Halah A.
Published: December 2019

In the present study, the tendency to overestimate performance (illusion of knowing) was examined in college students whose educational past experiences had emphasized verbatim learning. Female students enrolled in core curriculum classes were sampled. Classes taught by the same instructor were randomly assigned to a self-assessment practice condition, where students predicted their test and class performance and were asked to reflect on discrepancies between predictions and actual performance, or to a control condition. At the end of the semester, irrespective of condition, as performance declined on the final test, predictions of final test grades became more inflated, but less confident, indicating that students were aware of their own deficiencies. Overall, students in the practice condition displayed not only greater prediction accuracy, but also greater final test performance than students in the control condition. Practice, however, benefited the most self-assessment accuracy of students whose final test grades were just above the passing grade. Although the responses to self-assessment practice of students with a teacher-centered educational past were largely similar to the responses of students from Western countries reported in the extant literature, differences in impact and meaning could be inferred.

Cultural Resource Management of the Dying Ivory Craftsmanship as Reflected in the Wood Carving of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala
Authors: Saha Sudipa
Published: December 2019

Ivory carving from Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of the Indian state of Kerala, was once appreciated internationally for its outstanding craftsmanship. The origin of the industry can be traced back to 17th century CE or before that, and grew as a full-fledged industry under the patronage of the Maharajas of Travancore from the 19th century onwards. During olden days it was practiced by Brahmins and goldsmiths, and later by carpenters (achary) as well. Though they are very few in number, some craftsmen are now continuing the art on alternative to ivory such as rosewood, white cedar and, even more rarely, sandalwood. After the ban on ivory in 1990, this practice—emblematic of Intangible Cultural Heritage—looked to be on the brink of disappearing. In an example of Cultural Resource Management success, the traditional carvers of Thiruvananthapuram were shifted to sandalwood carving. Presently, sandalwood is a vulnerable species and extremely expensive. In addition to the threats mentioned in the UNESCO Paris convention (UNESCO 2003), some elements of Intangible Cultural Heritage are also disappearing due to the conflict that arises from the cultural use of endangered natural heritage resources. The aim of the current research is to analyze these problems and to formulate fruitful strategies for the safeguarding of the age-old craft with sustainable use of natural raw materials and alternative materials.
Au-delà de la fuite : l’afroféminisme face à la violence raciale et sexuelle
Authors: Batraville Nathalie
Published: December 2019

À travers une analyse de Cru (2014) de Néfertari Bélizaire et d’Amour, colère et folie (1968) de Marie Vieux-Chauvet, je mets en évidence que le viol et l’inceste constituent à la fois les conséquences et les manifestations concrètes de l’imbrication de l’exploitation, de l’aliénation et du (néo)colonialisme. Bélizaire raconte dans Cru, dans une longue apostrophe adressée à son oncle et tyran, le récit autobiographique des tourments qu’il lui a infligés pendant de nombreuses années. Née en Haïti en 1962, l’auteure et actrice est morte le 19 février 2017 au Québec, où elle avait vécu la majeure partie de sa vie. C’est en 2014, dans une maison d’édition montréalaise, qu’elle a publié cet ouvrage, son unique oeuvre. La richesse et la précision de son analyse dans ce texte mis en parallèle avec celui d’Amour, colère et folie, nous permettent d’étudier les fondements de la violence sexuelle et de la racialisation comme outils de domination.
La solidité des filles chez Naomi Fontaine
Authors: Papillon Joëlle
Published: December 2019

Cet article analyse la représentation des filles dans Kuessipan (2011) et Manikanetish (2017) de l’écrivaine innue Naomi Fontaine. Au coeur des deux romans se dressent des personnages de filles solides qui incitent le lectorat non autochtone à remettre en question la perception stéréotypée des filles autochtones en tant que personnes en détresse qu’il faut sauver. Chez Fontaine, les filles innues — et particulièrement les jeunes mères — sont présentées comme des créatrices de communautés, les gardiennes de l’avenir de la nation.
À la croisée des chemins et des oppressions : la figure de la jeune fille latino-américaine dans deux romans québécois
Authors: Rosso Karine
Published: December 2019

Cet article propose d’observer, dans deux fictions québécoises, la représentation des personnages d’origine latine, particulièrement celle de la jeune fille latino-américaine, car cette dernière — trop peu étudiée — se situe au confluent des rapports de genre et de race, lesquels divisent particulièrement, avec les rapports de classe, l’ensemble du continent. À travers l’analyse de Soudain le Minotaure (2002) de Marie-Hélène Poitras, et de Quelque part en Amérique (2012) d’Alain Beaulieu, je cherche à évaluer si ces figures sont empreintes de préjugés et correspondent à certains mythes historiquement associés à la représentation de la « señorita ».
La constellation des filles : du script romantique à la communauté solidaire dans Le goudron et les plumes d’Hélène Monette
Authors: Dussault Frenette Catherine
Published: December 2019

La figure de la fille en tant qu’amie a, jusqu’à tout récemment, été peu abordée par les études littéraires. Cet article propose une réflexion sur les amitiés entre filles, telles qu’elles sont dépeintes dans le premier roman d’Hélène Monette, Le goudron et les plumes, paru en 1993. En faisant s’entrecroiser les voix de deux narratrices autrefois amies, l’écrivaine retrace la généalogie de cette amitié brisée, tout en levant le voile sur le système qui, en amont, entraîne les filles à se positionner comme rivales. L’analyse présentée s’attarde tout d’abord à relever la critique qu’adresse l’oeuvre au script romantique hétéronormatif, qui repose sur l’élection, par un homme, d’une seule fille du groupe, entraînant ainsi la désolidarisation de celles qui le composent. Sont ensuite exposées les diverses voies de sortie dessinées par Monette, hors des schémas patriarcaux, qui valorisent les relations hétérosexuelles exclusives au détriment des amitiés féminines, et vers une nouvelle économie des relations entre filles, fondées sur une reconnaissance réciproque, dont les termes sont définis au sein même du groupe des semblables. La lecture présentée suggère que l’investissement de ce pouvoir passe avant tout par l’élaboration d’un nouveau symbolisme au féminin, représenté, dans l’oeuvre, par la métaphore de la constellation.
In vivo Efficacy of Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria on Available Zinc Content, Growth and Yield Attributes of Paddy (Oryza sativa)
Authors: Manasa S. G. , . Mahadevaswamy , Ramesh Y. , Nagaraj M. Naik , Gundappagol R. C.
Published: December 2019

The experiment was aimed at assessing the effect of zinc solubilizing isolates on the available zinc content, growth and yield attributes of paddy. The study was conducted using a randomized block design at the experimental plots of Agricultural Research Station, Dhadesugur. The isolates namely MZSB 6 and MZSB 8 were tested for in vitro solubilization of the zinc and later brought under field condition. 25-day-old paddy seedlings were dipped in lignite based biofertilizer slurry and transplanted according to treatments. Data on growth and yield parameters of paddy were taken at regular intervals of 30 DAT, 60 DAT and 90 DAT and available plant zinc content were estimated using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. Growth and yield parameters of paddy showed a significant increase in the treatment that received combination of MZSB 6, MZSB 8 and 75% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) as compared to control and other treatments. Results also showed the highest available zinc of 46.18 mg kg-1 of plant estimated using the ICP-MS. Thus, the results revealed that the combination of both isolates with 75% RDF was found to be efficient in enhancing growth and yield of paddy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotics susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from dry catfish sold in some open markets in Zaria.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pharmaceutical Microbiology, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, from December 2017 to February 2019.

Methodology: Two hundred dry catfish samples were collected aseptically, wrapped in foil paper, packaged in clean polyethylene bags from open markets in Zaria and analysed by standard microbiological methods. Antibiotics susceptibility of the isolates was tested using the disc diffusion method. Eight antibiotics belonging to eight classes were employed in the study. The β-lactamase test was done using the acidimetric method while the plasmid curing was done by exposing the multidrug resistant isolates to varying concentrations of acridine orange in Mueller Hinton broth.

Results: From the 200 samples of dry catfish, 138 presumptive staphylococcal isolates were obtained. Amongst the 138 staphylococcal isolates out of which 109 (79%) were confirmed as Staphylococcus aureus by Microgen Staph ID kits. The susceptibility test showed that 46.8% of the S. aureus isolates were multidrug resistant. The isolates were sensitive to Gentamicin (100.0%) and Vancomycin (100.0%). The phenotypic expression of resistance showed that 27.8% of isolates were resistant to Cefoxitin, Clindamycin and Linezolid. Eighteen (35.3%) out of the total resistant isolates were β-lactamase producers. From the study, 50% of isolates resistant to Cefoxitin and Clindamycin became sensitive to the drugs after exposure to sub-MIC concentration of acridine orange solution.

Conclusion: This study showed that some S. aureus isolates from dry catfish in this study were resistant to commonly used antibiotics in the study area whereas others were sensitive this may be because of the use of these drugs in animal feeds.

Anillin is a type of actin filament cross‐linking protein that stabilizes the actin‐based contractile ring during cytokinesis. To elucidate the underlying intermolecular interactions between actin filaments and anillin, we utilized total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) and high‐speed atomic force microscopy (Hs‐AFM). Single‐molecule imaging of anillin using TIRFM showed that anillin exists as monomers with relatively low binding affinity for actin filaments. Real‐time imaging of actin filament cross‐linking dynamics induced by anillin using Hs‐AFM revealed that anillin monomers cross‐link with actin filaments at a distance of 8 nm and that the polarity of those filaments is both parallel and antiparallel. These results are consistent with anillin playing a role in actin ring transition in vivo, where it might be responsible for thinning the ring‐shaped apolar actin bundles.

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is the most pro‐metastatic form of breast cancer. Better understanding of its pathophysiology and identification of actionable genetic alterations (AGAs) are crucial to improve systemic treatment. We aimed to define the DNA profiles of IBC vs noninflammatory breast cancer (non‐IBC) clinical samples in terms of copy number alterations (CNAs), mutations, and AGAs. We applied targeted next‐generation sequencing (tNGS) and array‐comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) to 57 IBC and 50 non‐IBC samples and pooled these data with four public datasets profiled using NGS and aCGH, leading to a total of 101 IBC and 2351 non‐IBC untreated primary tumors. The respective percentages of each molecular subtype [hormone receptor‐positive (HR+)/HER2−, HER2+, and triple‐negative] were 68%, 15%, and 17% in non‐IBC vs 25%, 35%, and 40% in IBC. The comparisons were adjusted for both the molecular subtypes and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage. The 10 most frequently altered genes in IBCs were TP53 (63%), HER2/ERBB2 (30%), MYC (27%), PIK3CA (21%), BRCA2 (14%), CCND1 (13%), GATA3 (13%), NOTCH1 (12%), FGFR1 (11%), and ARID1A (10%). The tumor mutational burden was higher in IBC than in non‐IBC. We identified 96 genes with an alteration frequency (p < 5% and q < 20%) different between IBC and non‐IBC, independently from the molecular subtypes and AJCC stage; 95 were more frequently altered in IBC, including TP53, genes involved in the DNA repair (BRCA2) and NOTCH pathways, and one (PIK3CA) was more frequently altered in non‐IBC. Ninety‐seven percent of IBCs displayed at least one AGA. This percentage was higher than in non‐IBC (87%), notably for drugs targeting DNA repair, NOTCH signaling, and CDK4/6, whose pathways were more frequently altered (DNA repair) or activated (NOTCH and CDK4/6) in IBC than in non‐IBC. The genomic landscape of IBC is different from that of non‐IBC. Enriched AGAs in IBC may explain its aggressiveness and provide clinically relevant targets.
Translating Content and Form from Vietnamese into World Literature: The Case of
Kiều
Authors: Taylor K.W.
Published: December 2019

An early nineteenth‐century novel in verse, commonly translated into English as
The Tale of Kiều
, has been acclaimed as the masterpiece of Vietnamese literature. This chapter considers the content and form of the work, its afterlife in English translation, and its place in world literature. Although closely based on a seventeenth‐century Chinese novel, this work owes its celebrity among Vietnamese to its mastery of a distinctive Vietnamese poetic form, “six‐eight verse,” and among non‐Vietnamese to its imagined expression of an essential Vietnamese identity. Multiple translations of this work have brought it into the purview of world literature.
Bridge Essay: The Moral Limits of Archive: Modern Narrative in World Literature
Authors: Majumdar Saikat
Published: December 2019

Modern prose fiction embodies an intriguing paradox – a deepening of the aesthetic and philosophical principles of the European Enlightenment as well as the crisis and fragmentation of these very principles. This paradox, in turn, has variously manifested itself in literary traditions around the world that have emerged out of a rich tension between indigenous and Western models of modernity. And while philosophical, economic, and political modernity remained yet to be superseded even in the early decades of the twentieth century, a disruptive transgression of the aesthetics of literary modernism already became striking by midcentury, scarcely limitable to the catchy name of postmodernism. But perhaps it is in the stark disruption of the moral and political imperatives of the European Enlightenment that the most alien and eclectic models of non‐Western narratives are to be found. Such disruptions render the formation of an archive of “world literature” richly and rewardingly impossible.
Samuel Beckett and World Literature: Toward the Universal
Authors: Tajiri Yoshiki
Published: December 2019

This chapter discusses Samuel Beckett in relation to World Literature and pays special attention to four major aspects. First, Beckett's work was nurtured in the cosmopolitan tendency of modernism, particularly in the progressive milieu of Paris. The second aspect explored is how his most famous work,
Waiting for Godot
, is denationalized and open to interpretations in different cultural contexts. This leads to the third point, which is that Beckett's plays resonate even with the Japanese Noh plays which could not have influenced him directly. Finally, the chapter closes with a discussion of how Beckett's novels also impacted many novelists in the world.
Living Like a Dervish: Sadegh Hedayat
Authors: Yiming Shen
Published: December 2019

Sadegh Hedayat (1903–1951) was an internationally recognized Iranian writer, translator, and intellectual. He was considered one of the earliest and the most influential Iranian writers in the development of modern Persian literature. He was best known for his psychological novel
The Blind Owl
and the satire
Hajji Aqa
(
Ḥajjī Āqā
). By considering Hedayat as a modern Persian dervish, we read Hedayat's works in the context of Persian Sufi literature and learn that Hedayat's endeavor to recover Iranian traditional culture and his adoption of traditional Persian literary skills have successfully made him an outstanding Iranian writer among his contemporaries in World Literature.
Maxim Gorky: Living and Writing Protest
Authors: Peterson Dale E.
Published: December 2019

Officially proclaimed “the father of Soviet literature,” Maxim Gorky's celebrity has obscured the complexity of the man and his writing. A self‐taught writer, he fashioned an image of himself as a romantic rebel in stories about vagabonds and scofflaws. The future revolutionary was initially infatuated with Nietzsche; his fiction featured men of vital force. Impatient with a peasant culture embedded in passivity and sporadic violence, Gorky was drawn toward the discipline and zeal of the Bolsheviks. Gorky's art, particularly his drama under Chekhov's tutelage, took shape as a protest against the suffocating conventionality of tsarist Russia. In his best work, Gorky “colonized” Russian drama and fiction with the authentic language and perspective of the underclass. His imprint is evident in works by O'Neill and Richard Wright. Gorky's fear of anarchy led him to become a militant custodian of world culture. An opponent of repression, he saved many lives and careers from persecution. But when the Soviet state was under threat, Gorky excused some of the worst excesses of Stalinist tyranny.
Victor Hugo's Romantic Registers
Authors: Grossman Kathryn M.
Published: December 2019

The most celebrated poet, dramatist, and novelist of nineteenth‐century France, Victor Hugo was the leader of the French Romantic movement. Inspired by both the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott and the mingling of comedy and tragedy in William Shakespeare's plays, Hugo created blockbuster works like
Notre‐Dame de Paris
(
The Hunchback of Notre‐Dame
; 1831) and
Les Misérables
(1862) that mingle lyricism, epic, melodrama, and satire, the sublime and the grotesque. His embrace of republicanism over autocratic regimes like medieval monarchy or Napoléon III's Second Empire also offers a vigorous defense of Romantic over neoclassical art. Immensely popular at home, Hugo sparked the genius of Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Leo Tolstoy in his own lifetime and continues to enjoy worldwide acclaim through the many film and stage adaptations of his novels.
