Multi-word echoes of English: Visible vs. invisible Anglicisms in Danish
Authors: Gottlieb Henrik
Published: December 2023

The focus of this article is the developments in contemporary Danish of direct vis-à-vis indirect borrowing strategies regarding English expressions. In order to distinguish direct borrowings of such items from codeswitches, the author presents a number of approaches found in the existing literature and suggests an operational definition of codeswitching. Eight scenarios involving the adoption and/or translation of English multi-word or polymorphemic expressions are presented, and the trajectories over three decades of forty-four Danish Anglicisms representing all scenarios are investigated. The basis for this empirical research is the gigantic Danish text archive Infomedia, and the results show the relative success of ‘invisible’ multi-word and polymorphemic expressions: Anglicisms using all-Danish material but calquing their English etymons and thus representing Anglo-American concepts in Danish disguise.
The perfect participle and the supine in two chronolects of Danish
Authors: Jensen Eva Skafte
Published: December 2023

Modern Standard Danish distinguishes between a perfect participle and a supine. The perfect participle is an adnominal non-finite form of the verb, ascribing properties to a referent (as do the prototypical adjectives) and morpho-syntactically agreeing with this referent. The supine is an indeclinable non-finite form of a verb, ending in -t, used as a component in periphrastic verb forms. Outside the attributive position, the perfect participle is used in complement constructions with the copula verbs være ‘be’ and blive ‘be’/‘become’; the supine is used in perfective constructions and periphrastic passives with the auxiliaries have ‘have’, få ‘get’, være ‘be’ and blive ‘be’/‘become’. In Modern Standard Danish, the perfect participle has restricted use (it is the marked member of the paradigm perfect participle vs. supine); the supine has a wider domain of usage (it is the unmarked member of the paradigm). In the nineteenth century, this was different. Back then, the perfect participle was the unmarked form with a wide usage domain, whereas the supine had a more restricted use. This paper presents a study of these verb forms in two corpora representing different chronolects of Danish, one corpus consisting of texts from the nineteenth century, one of texts from Modern Standard Danish.
Otto Jespersen (1860-1943) romanista: La rilevanza della sua analisi dei Passive tenses in italiano ed altre lingue
Authors: Jensen Viggo Bank
Published: December 2023

Otto Jespersen (1860-1943) was a Danish linguist, best known for his studies of English, of phonetics and ofgeneral linguistics. In my paper, I introduce a lesser-known side of Jespersen, i.e. as an Italianist and aRomanist. A special focus is on how he deals with the passive tenses in Romance languages, in particular Italianand French. Drawing on the theory developed by the German Romanist Friedrich Diez (1794-1876), whonotably differentiated between perfective and imperfective verbs, and subsequently connecting thisdifferentiation to the general discussion of aspect and Aktionsart around 1900, Jespersen in a few pageselaborates a rather advanced analysis of the passive tenses in the Romance (and some other) languages. Isuggest that Jespersen's statement forestalls an important part of the description of the passive tenses in Italianelaborated by the Danish Italianist (and Romanist) Jørgen Schmitt Jensen (1931-2004) and published in acomprehensive Italian grammar (1990). I further propose that even though Jespersen’s text probably is not adirect source for Schmitt Jensen, it helps understanding the general frame of the latter's presentation of thesubject. Finally, I claim that the relevant pages in Jespersen (1924) are interesting concerning the historiographyof the concept of Aktionsart.
Di che cosa parliamo quando siamo infedeli? Alcune puntualizzazioni sulle valenze di rinvio: anafora, catafora ed esofora
Authors: Korzen Iørn
Published: December 2023

In my paper, I draw an overall picture of the "referential valencies" of a text, i.e. of what we could call the text's referential skeleton. Based on Italian evidence, I give examples of the many kinds of anaphoric, cataphoric and exophoric reference, including elliptical null forms, and I pay special attention to a phenomenon that has been very little debated in the literature, viz "unfaithful" (i.e. lexically varied, e.g. hyperonymic) anaphors, trying to answer the question "What do we talk about when we are unfaithful?". Not surprisingly, the use of unfaithful anaphors depends considerably on the text type, such anaphors being e.g. more frequent in argumentative and narrative texts than in technical texts, and on the degree of text elaboration. This section of my paper is empirically based on three typologically different text corpora.
"Il monocolore non esiste": Postcolonial ekphrasis in Igiaba Scego's novel La linea del colore. Il grand tour di Lafanu Brown
Authors: Lausten Pia Schwarz
Published: December 2023

Igiaba Scego’s novel La linea del colore. Il grand tour di Lafanu Brown (2020) is a historical novel, a feminist Bildungsroman, a contemporary migration novel and a global, political novel. It is also a novel of colours and images. The aim of this analysis is to investigate the function of ekphrasis – defined as verbal descriptions of visual representations – in La linea del colore. The question is how this literary device contributes to Scego’s pedagogical and political project of rewriting national history from the point of view of the subaltern, black Italians. Like in her other novels, Scego uses the past to illuminate the present. She relocates colonial memory at the centre of cultural debates in today’s Italy, deconstructing official colonial history. By analysing a small sample of ekphrases, regarding both real and imaginary statues and paintings in the novel, I would like to demonstrate that Scego adds new postcolonial interpretations to the described images. By doing so, she expresses ethical, ideological and poetological contents, aiming to convince her readers that the colour line between black and white people has to be overcome. Scego uses a classical literary device, the ekphrasis, to demonstrate that the line of colour is not only present today but also in Italian Renaissance and Baroque culture.
Ricorrenze olfattive nel Trionfo della morte di Gabriele d'Annunzio
Authors: Polito Paola
Published: December 2023

In literature, one finds that, like the gustatory trace of Proustian memory, even the olfactory trace can assume– especially in the late-Romantic, symbolist and post-symbolist area – a significant weight both in theconstruction of atmospheres and portraits and in the remembrance of past situations, to the point of constitutinga leitmotif of the mnestic activity and path. The construction of an odorous score in the Trionfo della morte(1894) participates in the "symphonic" writing explicitly attempted by the author of this novel, so that therepetition of certain aromatic 'notes', through the cadences of a kind of refrain, emphasizes in the narrativeflow salient moments for the psychological construction of the characters and for the direction of the reader'sreception. From the leitmotif of the perfumes of violet and incense as "memorable signs" ("signes mémoratifs",Corbin 1982) – capable of triggering backward narratives and mimicking the recursiveness of thought in thevibrating, inflamed psychology of the male character narrated in the third person – to the floral and bodilyperfumes as seductive signals of the beloved woman, to which the "umano lezzo" is aristocratically opposed,an olfactory map is outlined that finds references within d'Annunzio's work, as well as, inter-textually, withauthors of a similar aesthetic range (Baudelaire, Wilde, Proust).
Divertirsi con la lingua: Il Doge di Aldo Palazzeschi
Authors: Persiani Giuseppe
Published: December 2023

In 1967 Aldo Palazzeschi (1885-1974), at the venerable age of 82, published this novel (however not the last)in which critics wanted to see a return to the lazzi or experimentalism of the young futurist. The plot is soonstated: "without characters and without direct dialogue, it is the novel of a teeming and charlatan mass" (Tellini)who waits for a few days for the appearance of a Doge, who will never appear. Obviously, therefore, the settingin Venice is teeming with tourists, famous and less famous, accompanied by a flood of suitcases, pretentiousin their ignorance when they talk about Dante (Alighieri!), famous polar explorer. A novel in which "a crowdis crowded or a mass is crowded", in Arbasino's words. The focus of this contribution, however, is on thelinguistic expression of the novel. The reader is immediately struck and dazed by the long sections (of 17 linesor more) and the risky syntactic structure, rhetorically constructed ("Mentre gli intransigenti … Altri invece, diparer contrario sempre"). The criticism was rather severe in evaluating all this, speaking of 'lava flow' (MarcoMarchi), 'lutulent verbal river' (Tellini), 'abnormal syntactic regime' (De Maria). Here we propose, on the onehand, to verify the suggestion of De Maria: "that Palazzeschi intends to parody the 'periodoni', canonical ofour literature, of the History of Italy of Guicciardini", associating examples from other writers of the Italiansixteenth century. On the other hand, it is to rediscover this Palazzeschian passion for syntax in works ofprevious periods of his literary production, where language is fully an opportunity to have fun. As I have triedto demonstrate elsewhere, in fact, the tripartition in watertight bulkheads between an avant-garde period, asubsequent return to order and therefore a resumption of the experimentalist vein, risks leading one astray. Wehave here, returning to what Luciano De Maria said well: "Mass society interpreted, therefore, as a society ofuniversal gossip. The Venetian 'ciacola' as a symbol of a world parlerie perpetuated by newspapers, radio,television". What a topicality! We can only imagine what Palazzeschi would have written in our years of thetriumph of bloggers and mobile phones!
Un'anima in bicicletta. Lettura di Ultima preghiera di Giorgio Caproni
Authors: Cecchini Leonardo
Published: December 2023

The article examines Giorgio Caproni's Ultima Preghiera, a poem in the collection Il seme del piangere from1959. Within this collection, which includes poems written in the period 1950-1958, Ultima preghiera is partof the last section entitled Versi livornesi, which bears the dedication "To my mother, Anna Picchi" and whichbrings together twenty-two poems of various lengths (written in the years 1954-58) all centred on the figure ofthe poet’s mother. In the first part of the article, a close reading of the poem aims to highlight the autonomy ofthe text through the analysis of its linguistic, rhythmic, metric, and thematic characteristics. The text will thenbe analysed in the context of Versi livornesi, showing the thematic and formal affinities between this poem andthe others devoted to the mother – and more generally within Caproni's lyric production – aiming at an overallinterpretation of the poem. In conclusion, some cursory considerations on the limits of interpretation, inspiredby Umberto Eco, will be presented.
Numeri per argomentare: strategie di dispositio nelle produzioni scritte degli studenti universitari
Authors: Pistolesi Elena , Pugliese Rosa
Published: December 2023

This paper concerns text organization and the signalling of its arrangement in parts. Drawing on text linguistics and combining a qualitative and a quantitative description, it explores the use of enumerative markers as linguistic devices of discursive structure, adopted by Italian second-year university students while fulfilling a timed writing task. More precisely, the paper presents a corpus-based analysis, focusing on textual segments opened by two types of enumerative markers: in primo luogo (in the first place) and in primis. The occurrences are extracted from UniverS-ITA, a corpus made by a total of 2016 students’ written texts (813,000 words). The paper aims at documenting and characterizing, on a qualitative level, the functioning of numerical sequencers (or ordinatori numerici del discorso), mainly drawing on textual scope, i.e. their effect on the textual segments involved. Findings suggest that the strategy most applied by students in the process of writing is an additive one, also emphasized by the frequent use of inoltre (moreover), whereas the homogenous series introduced by a marker acting as a trigger are rather scarce. Nevertheless, some attempts to give a linear ordering to the contents occur. Besides their descriptive value, these findings present relevant implications for teaching and learning academic writing at universities.

Turkish Adaptation of Personal Social Responsibility Scale: Validity and Reliability Study
Authors: KOCAR Muhammed Salih , SEKİ Tolga
Published: December 2023

The concept of personal social responsibility is a crucial notion that significantly impacts both individuals and society as a whole. Individuals' embrace of social responsibility leads to positive developments economically, ecologically, psychologically, and socially. It also plays a protective role factor against potential risks and crises. The purpose of this research is to adapt the Personal Social Responsibility Scale into Turkish and to test its validity and reliability within the context of a sample from Turkey. The research sample comprises 223 individuals between the ages of 20 and 65 years, including 111 males and 112 females, all of whom have a steady income. Translation efforts were conducted in line with the research objective, followed by the use of confirmatory factor analysis and discriminant validity methods to test validity and reliability. The confirmatory factor analysis resulted in the desired fit and item-total correlation values, ensuring the expected differentiation regarding the scale. As a result, a valid, reliable, and practical tool for assessing the level of personal social responsibility within the Turkish sample was developed through this research.
Expeditionsrapport SPRAS 2022 : Ekosystemundersökning i Östersjön
Authors: Svenson Anders , Hentati Sundberg Jonas
Published: December 2023

Denna rapport presenterar resultat för Östersjön 2022 från den svenska delen av den internationella undersökningen Sprat Acoustic Survey (SPRAS-Swe). Den internationella undersökningen har pågått sedan 2001, men Sveriges deltagande började först 2020 i och med leveransen av Sveriges nya forskningsfartyg R/V Svea. Undersöknigens syfte är att samla in fiskerioberoende data för beräkning av mängden skarpsill och sill i Östersjön. Det sammanställda resultatet utgör grunden för arbetet med beståndskattning av sill och skarpsillinom ICES arbetsgrupp WGBFAS. I en pilotstudie har vi därtill undersökt möjligheten att utnyttja SPRAS-Swe som en ekosystemexpedition vilket inneburit att utöver den datainsamling som krävs för arbetet med beståndsskattning av sill och skarpsill (WGBFAS) även registrera andra typer av insamlade data för att öka kunskapen kring ekosystemet Östersjön. Ytterligare en målsättning har varit att utveckla insamlings- och analysmetoder för att på sikt minska dödligheten av fisk i samband med vetenskapliga undersökningar.
Hemodynamic monitoring and goal-directed fluid management in abdominal surgery
Authors:   , Stens Jurre
Published: December 2023

This thesis focused on the perioperative practices for elective medium-to-high-risk abdominal surgery and the variation within them. Although mortality rates have decreased over the years, complication rates remain high and are a significant burden for patients and society, both in the short and long term.
To mitigate these unfavorable outcomes, preoperative risk assessments, intraoperative optimization strategies and postoperative complication assessments are commonly implemented. Intraoperative optimization specifically aims to improve the patient’s perioperative hemodynamic condition using fluids, vasopressors and inotropes. Hemodynamic guidance can be performed by a gold standard device, although less invasive devices with mandatory adequate accuracy and precision have become
more relevant for clinical applicability. Despite these interventions, frailty remains a factor responsible for the significant burden of postoperative complications, particularly when these complications remain unidentified and result in a higher mortality rate; a situation called failure-to-rescue. This thesis highlighted the role of standardization and hemodynamic optimization using goal-directed therapy (GDT) for the detection and treatment of hemodynamic disturbances.
In anticipation of a future period of incapacity: The Dutch 'levenstestament' from a legal, empirical and comparative perspective
Authors:   , Stelma-Roorda Henderika Neeltje
Published: December 2023

With an ageing population, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase in
the coming decades. Dementia can seriously impair a person’s ability to act and decide. In
the Netherlands, adults can provide for such a future period of incapacity through a so-called
levenstestament. A levenstestament can include the appointment of an attorney for financial,
medical and/or personal matters, but also the adult’s wishes, preferences and instructions
regarding these matters. Over the past decade, the levenstestament has become increasingly
popular in the Netherlands. A major concern, however, is that the levenstestament becomes
active at a time when adults will generally be increasingly unable to supervise the execution
of the levenstestament and indicate whether they are satisfied with the actions of their
attorney. This book provides a thorough analysis of the current regulation and application of
the levenstestament based on legal-normative and empirical research. Based on comparative
law research, recommendations have been formulated to improve the regulation of the
levenstestament and address problems that arise in practice.
RecognEYEze: detecting and discussing depression and anxiety in adults with vision impairment
Authors:   , van Munster Edine Petronella Josephina
Published: December 2023

Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent, but often unrecognized in adults with vision impairment (VI). The first aim of this thesis was to determine barriers and facilitators in discussing (subthreshold) depression and anxiety in patients. A semi-structured interview study was conducted to explore these barriers and facilitators from the patients’ perspective. Thereafter, the current practice of low vision service workers and factors associated with discussing depression and anxiety with patients were determined. This was followed by an international study in which a prediction model for discussing depression by healthcare providers was developed and internally validated in a Welsh sample of eye care practitioners, and subsequently externally validated in a Dutch sample of low vision service workers and an Australian sample of eye care practitioners and rehabilitation workers.

The second aim of this thesis was to investigate ways to support healthcare providers to address depression and anxiety in patients with VI. Therefore, the usability and feasibility of introducing a screening instrument for depression and anxiety, i.e. the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-4, in low vision service organizations was investigated. Moreover, a pragmatic mixed-methods study was performed to determine the potential effectiveness and feasibility of two tailored training programs about the detection of depression and anxiety for eye care practitioners and low vision workers. Barriers and facilitators for implementation in clinical practice were explored in both studies.

The results of this thesis showed that recognition and discussion of depression and anxiety is not self-evident due to barriers in patients with VI and healthcare providers. There is still work to be done to integrate mental health in ophthalmic care and low vision services, and to support healthcare providers to feel competent in performing routines regarding mental health in patients. Implications for clinical practices focus on the organization of care, accessible information for patients with VI, screening for depression and anxiety as a standard procedure, low intensity mental health support, and providing training to healthcare providers.
Transforming Growth Factor-β Signalling in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Regeneration, Fibrosis and Function
Authors:   , Shi Andi
Published: December 2023

Muscle wasting diseases are characterized by the loss of muscle mass, function and regenerative capacity, which negatively affects the quality of life. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily members, such as TGF-β, myostatin and activin A, play an important role in reducing muscle mass (atrophy), force and regenerative capacity. Targeting TGF-β signalling is a potential approach to treat muscle wasting. In vivo studies of this thesis show that simultaneous knockout of TGF-β type I receptors Acvr1b and Tgfbr1 in a skeletal muscle-specific manner induced muscle hypertrophy, improved muscle regeneration upon acute injury and increased muscle contractile force. Knockout of both receptors in mice induced more differentially expressed genes in fast-type muscle than slow-type muscle, which were related to muscle growth, contraction, cytoskeleton and metabolism. However, myofibre size increment was not proportional to the increase in contractile force in gastrocnemius. Strikingly, the increase in myofibre size was accompanied by an increase in oxidative metabolism in muscles lacking both type I receptors. In vitro studies show that myotubes produced more collagen I protein than myoblasts. Both TGF-β1 and 3 stimulated collagen production in muscle cells. Noteworthy, siRNA-mediated knockdown of both type I receptors in myotubes reduced their diameter and protein synthesis process, which was associated with the increased expression level of Sntb1 which encodes a unit of dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. Taken together, we identified the regulatory role of TGF-β signalling with respect to muscle adaptation which contributes to the development of treatments for muscle wasting.
The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Poverty Reduction: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors:   Department of Finance, Faculty of Business Studies, University of Dhaka, Patwary Muhammad Farid Hossain
Published: December 2023

This study aims to identify the contribution of foreign direct investment on poverty reduction in Bangladesh with a data period of 32 years starting from FY 1991 to FY 2022 with annual observations in real term. Besides foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, government expenditure on education, employment, and trade openness are used as control variables. Per capita consumption is used as a proxy for poverty reduction. The study goes for Johansen Co-integration test and then Vector Error Correction Model rather than Ordinary Least Squares Regression to avoid any spurious result as indicated by Augmented Dickey-Fuller test. This study finds that FDI has significantly negative relationship while Employment has almost indifferent effect on poverty reduction in the long run. However, other control variables, i.e., GDP, Govt. Expenditure on education and Trade openness have long run positive relationship in this regard. The short run causality of FDI toward poverty reduction is also insignificant in Bangladesh.
Exploring the structural, electronic, magnetic, and magneto-optical properties of double perovskites Ca2TMIrO6 (TM = Fe, Co) through first principles study
Authors: Touaibia I. , Bouguerra A. , Guenez W. , Chemam F.
Published: December 2023

This study is aimed at exploring the electronic, magnetic, and magneto-optical properties of double perovskites Ca2FeIrO6 and Ca2CoIrO6 with monoclinic structure (space group P21/c) in order to examine their potential applications in spintronic and photovoltaic devices. The calculations were done using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave within the density functional theory. For the electronic exchange-correlation function, we used the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA+U (Hubbard potential), and spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The study showed that Ca2FeIrO6 and Ca2CoIrO6 exhibit a monoclinic structure (space group P21/c). The structure relaxation shows an antiferromagnetic behavior in both systems with a magnetic moment of about 6.00 μB for Ca2FeIrO6 and 4.00 μB for Ca2CoIrO6 by using GGA+U approximation. The results of GGA and GGA+U predict the half-metallic behavior of Ca2FeIrO6 and Ca2CoIrO6. The magneto-optical polar Kerr effect (MOKE) was examined by studying the variation of Kerr and ellipticity rotation. The Kerr rotation angle is 1.3º at 4.82 eV and -1.21º at 4.3 eV, and the ellipticity angle is -1.21º at 4.3 eV for Ca2FeIrO6. In the case of Ca2CoIrO6, the Kerr rotation angle is -1.04º at 4.05 eV; the significant Kerr rotation in both compounds may suggest the application of these materials in optoelectronics bias. The named compounds have a potential application in the field of spintronics and its devices, such as in optoelectronics technologies.
The role of intrinsic atomic defects in a Janus MoSSe/XN (X = Al, Ga) heterostructure: a first principles study
Authors: Yelgel Ö. C.
Published: December 2023

The interactions between different layers in van der Waals heterostructures have a significant impact on the electronic and optical characteristics. By utilizing the intrinsic dipole moment of Janus transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), it is possible to tune these interlayer interactions. We systematically investigate structural and electronic properties of Janus MoSSe monolayer/graphene-like Aluminum Nitrides (MoSSe/g-AlN) heterostructures with point defects by employing density functional theory calculations with the inclusion of the nonlocal van der Waals correction. The findings indicate that the examined heterostructures are energetically and thermodynamically stable, and their electronic structures can be readily modified by creating a heterostructure with the defects in g-AlN monolayer. This heterostructure exhibits an indirect semiconductor with the band gap of 1.627 eV which is in the visible infrared region. It can be of interest for photovoltaic applications. When a single N atom or Al atom is removed from a monolayer of g-AlN in the heterostructure, creating vacancy defects, the material exhibits similar electronic band structures with localized states within the band gap which can be used for deliberately tailoring the electronic properties of the MoSSe/g-AlN heterostructure. These tunable results can offer exciting opportunities for designing nanoelectronics devices based on MoSSe/g-AlN heterojunctions.
Structural transition induced by a local chemical/mechanical perturbation in biomolecules
Authors: Hirata F.
Published: December 2023

Structural transition induced by a local conformational change in biomolecules is formulated based on the generalized Langevin theory for the structural fluctuation of a molecule in solution, and the linear response theory, derived by Kim and Hirata in 2012. A chemical/mechanical change introduced at a moiety of biomolecules, such as an amino acid substitution or a structural change of a chromophore by the photo-excitation, is considered as a perturbation, and the rest of the protein as the reference system. The linear-response equation consists of two parts: a mechanical/chemical perturbation introduced at the moiety, and the variance-covariance matrix of the reference system that works as a response function. The physical meaning of the equation is transparent: the force exerted by atoms in the moiety induces the displacement in an atom of protein, which propagates through the variance-covariance matrix to cause a global conformational change in the molecule. A few examples of possible application of the theory, including those in industry, are suggested.
Higher Arts Education
Authors: Fox Mike
Published: December 2023

Marginalized groups within any dominant culture find engagement with higher education challenging. Partially to blame is the compensatory paradigm within which they are situated and the resulting denigration of their culture and cultural capital. This attitude reinforces the deficit model, where socio-cultural diversity is seen pathologically rather than as a treasured asset. To contest this model, and empower marginalized learners, it is necessary to credentialize the capital, which they possess. Contemporary arts education, liberated from any generalized form of a priori aesthetic, moral imperative, or referential loyalties, provides a learning environment where individuals, once considered outsiders, can achieve such validation.

This commentary paper aims to pro-mote the acknowledgment of user experience (UX) research principles in the cultural field. As discussed in the preceding dissertation, The Meaning of Participation: Detecting the space for inclusive strategies in the Finnish and German museum context (2022), efforts to get to know one’s audience (or users) should not be ignored. What is the meaning of UX research, why should it be used sustainably, and how can it be ben-eficial? This paper aims to answer these questions by explaining and unfolding the reasons for conducting such research and proposing it to the cultural audience development work.
Finding the Missing Link
Authors: Quill Fiona
Published: December 2023

In art and design education, engaging students as partners in practice is a pedagogical necessity. Research shows that it is also an ethical necessity. However, art and design education are deeply entrenched in traditional modes of assessment that are sometimes counterintuitive to the landscape of progressive and innovative learning. There is evidence that assessments are based on subjective values in disciplines where objectivity is difficult to ascertain. Is there a link between the deceleration or arrest of the learner’s participation in communities of practice and lifelong learning because of ambiguous assessment methods? Can these deficits be addressed by educational interventions?

Concept of electronegativity is used by so many researchers to study Refractive index, Band energy, Dielectric constant, Metallization criterion, Basicity, Oxide ion polarizability, Bond ionicity, Third order non-linear optical susceptibility to study so many glass systems. Here the concept of optical electronegativity is used to study these parameters in glass formers. It is observed that on decreasing the values of optical electronegativity; optical band energy, metallization criterion, and bond ionicity decreases; where as optical dielectric constant, optical basicity, oxide ion polarizability refractive index and third order non linear optical susceptibility increases. All glass forming oxides are according to Pauling's packing rule, Goldschmidt radius ratio rule, Zachariasen's random network theory and rules for formation of glass and Sun’s single bond strength theory. For glass formers radius ratio rc/ra = 0.14-0.40, [except P2O5] and single bond strength greater than 90 Kcal/mol. Key Words: Band energy, Basicity, Optical dielectric constant, Oxide ion polarizability, Refractive index.

Effect of Load Inclination and Arrangement of Helical Plate on Load Carrying Capacity of Helical Pile
Authors: Bhojani Pooja Jayendra , Joshi Nitin
Published: December 2023

Helical pile foundation is most suited for foundation expansion for vertical additions, strengthening of existing structures, communication tower support, solar and wind farms, bridge replacement, etc. In spite of large-scale applications; there are no standardized guidelines to create piles which are helical in shape. The objective of the study is to get comparative analysis of the helical pile’s capacity under compressive load applied at various inclinations (0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° with vertical) and with two different arrangements of helical plates. Also, the experimental results were validated in PLAXIS 3D. The laboratory study was performed on model helical piles embedded in sand filled in model foundation test set-up of size 1.5 m square steel tank at 60% of relative density. The top portion of the load frame is of semi-circular shape to apply load at required inclinations. From the results it was worth mentioning that as the inclination increases from 0° to 90° with vertical axis; the capacity of helical pile to carry load decreases. Moreover, the pile with the lower bottom helix plate diameter has a higher capacity than the pile with the larger top helix plate diameter.
Performance of Cold-Form Steel (CFS) Sections Under Flexural Action
Authors: Tikate Pavan , Sonar Ishwar
Published: December 2023

Cold-form steel (CFS) members have become increasingly popular because of its high strength with respect to weight, low conveying costs, and ease of fabrication and erection. Standard CFS sections generally fail as flexural members where high section modulus is required. For such cases, using built-up sections made up of nesting or back-to-back connection could be a viable solution. The present study extensively reviews recent advances in the design and analysis of CFS under flexural behavior. As per the most recent research in the field, it was revealed that CFS sections could benefit from the addition of stiffeners, namely intermediate stiffeners for closed built-up sections and stiffeners at the flange/web junction for open built-up sections, with or without edge stiffeners. In addition, several investigations of the behaviour of different CFS sections were presented. However, further research is required to determine how to analyse the flexural behaviour of open and closed built-up sections using finite element models (FEM).

The regime theory has been widely applied to analyze the governing capacity for urban community development. However, it has seldom been translated to the countryside, even though rural communities often reveal some potential for self-governance and a capacity to act. With the emergence of information technology, social network services have become popular and have changed the social interactions between the public and private sectors. By considering the rural case of river conservation in New Taipei City, this paper used the regime theory to investigate the governing capacity of rural collaborative networks and the influence of social network services on coordination. We found that the regime theory can be used to explore rural communities with strong collaborative networks and local identities. The adoption of communication tools based on social network services strengthens informal public-private coordination wherein the power geometry of rural regimes is upgraded from ‘power-to’ to ‘power-amidst’, thus, advancing the solidarity of the community networks and prompting the rise of vital coalitions and the governing capacity of rural actors.

The intermediary role of HRD between employees and the company is crucial to satisfy both parties. As the workforce shifts from Baby Boomers and Gen-X to Millennials and Gen Z, companies must review their compensation and promotion systems to meet the new workforce's unique characteristics. This literature study examines the relationship between employee engagement and performance on the company's wage system and career opportunities. The study's practical goal is to provide a rationale for human resource development departments of businesses that will soon be hiring members of the Millennial and Gen-Z generations, outlining how corporate HRD systems might be revamped to accommodate the generational gap. Literature study allows us to explore various paradigms of these topics and to make new contributions to knowledge and understanding of issues.

Authors: Hyttinen Elsi , Melkas Kukku
Published: December 2023

Elsi Hyttinen ja Kukku Melkas nostavat artikkelissaan esiin kaksi 1900-luvun alun työväenkirjailijaa, Elvira Willmanin ja Hilda Tihlän. Artikkelissa pureudutaan prostituoidun hahmoon, jonka avulla kirjailijat käsittelevät romaaneissaan seksuaalisuuteen liittyvää vallankäyttöä. Näiden naiskirjailijoiden kumousvoima on kirjoittajien mukaan siinä, että siveettömäksi epäilty nainen näyttäytyy poliittisena toimijana, jonka herättämisellä ja heräämisellä on todellista yhteiskunnallista merkitystä.

The State as the Entity that represents the first sector of the economy, has the aim of being the provider and articulator of public policies so that the Market, as the second sector, produces utilities, generates employment and income, which are the bases for supporting economic and social policies. Failure to fulfill this mission produces losses, known as State failures, due to the lack of clarity and inclusive public policies. The market, dependent on economic policies, produces inefficiency, known as market failures. The article discusses the context of State and Market failures and partnerships with Civil Society Organizations from the perspective that partnerships can be one of the instruments to mitigate the consequences of the aforementioned failures, and aims to propose a quantitative-qualitative theoretical model to evaluate the contribution of the third sector in building the social economy, as well as evaluating the performance and sustainability of partnership projects, in the context of State and Market failures. Using academic data from the research group “Third Sector Research and Extension Laboratory - TSREL”, the model was tested and the results obtained suggest that the methodology is consistent in signaling that the project performance is efficient, effective and the partnership is sustainable, getting a robust contribution to the construction of the social economy, assisting regulators and public policy managers in monitoring the performance and sustainability of social policies.
