Clinical effectiveness of the composition of muramylpeptides from gram-negative bacteria in the treatment of severe chronic generalized periodontitis
Authors: Grudyanov A.I. , Fomenko E.V. , Kalyuzhin O.V.
Published: July 2020

The effectiveness of the immunomodulator Polymuramil (PM) was determined in the treatment of 40 patients with severe chronic generalized periodontitis based on the dynamics of the values of periodontal indices and the content of periodontal pathogens in the periodontal pockets. Patients of the main group (20 people) were treated with professional hygiene (PGO) in combination with daily intramuscular PM for 5 days at a dose of 200 mcg. Patients of the control group (20 people) were performed only PGO. The effectiveness of treatment was evaluated based on the dynamics of the clinical indices of Muehlemann and PMA and the presence or absence of major periodontal pathogens in the periodontal pockets. Results: in patients of the main group, the phenomena of periodontal inflammation and the main periodontal pathogens were eliminated in a shorter time and to a greater extent in comparison with patients of the control group
BORROWINGS FROM ENGLISH IN A PHILIPPINE REGIONAL LANGUAGE: IMPLICATIONS FOR LANGUAGE TEACHING
Authors: Lavalle alcudia Fina Felisa , V. Dequilla Ma. AsMa. Asuncion uncion Christine , Rosano Daisy A
Published: July 2020

This sociolinguistic study was conducted in conjunction with a project on the development of a course syllabus and instructional materials for the teaching of Hiligaynon as mother tongue in Region VI Western Visayas, Philippines. A corpora of the first one thousand commonly used in Hiligaynon was developed through an adopted concordancing software. Derived from corpus linguistics, a corpora study is a descriptive method of studying language in context and is ideal for a functional-based analysis of language (Meyer, 2004). The words were culled from various genres in the local language. These were analyzed for meaning, part of speech, and level of usage in Hiligaynon discourse. The corpora, however, yielded codes borrowed from English. A semantic, syntactic, and functional analysis of the words led to the following categories: adapted words, convenient alternative words, words occurring in compound nouns, indigenized spelling, indigenized pronunciation, and clipped words. The results imply that a purist approach in teaching mother tongue will limit the learners’ acquisition of vocabulary words and skills in meaning-making. It is recommended that language teachers take an eclectic posturing that considers multi-modalities, translanguaging, authenticity, linguistic resourcing, and entextualization.
A CASE OF BAIQ NURIL IN MEDIA: SARA MILLS’ CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
Authors: Ramli Soraya , Dhiarafah Faiz Afio , Merrita Diah
Published: July 2020

Writing in the media, a journalist can create his/her own framing, to be in favor or bias. The framing created will show the subject, the object, the victim or the perpetrator of a case from the point of view of the journalist. This study focuses on the position of subject, object, reader, and the ideology in PRI media and The Sydney Morning Herald media in the case of Baiq Nuril Makmun. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method and analyzed by using discourse analysis framework of Sara Mills. The result of data analysis in the articles show that Jokowi and Nuril are mostly put as subject. On the other side, Nuril is also written as object. Furthermore, based on reader position, the authors mostly use pronoun ‘he’, ‘her’, and ‘she‘. By using third person pronoun, readers are in the position of outsiders which can follow the storyline objectively from both of subject and object position. The ideology of the articles show that a leader uphold justice and solve injustice case that is received by Nuril because she becomes a victim two times, of the immoral action and the violation of Electronic Information and Transactions law.
List Viterbi Decoding of PAC Codes
Authors: Rowshan Mohammad , Viterbo Emanuele
Published: July 2020

Polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes are special concatenated codes in which we employ a one-to-one convolutional transform as a pre-coding step before the polar transform. In this scheme, the polar transform (as a mapper) and the successive cancellation process (as a demapper) present a synthetic vector channel to the convolutional transformation. The numerical results show that this concatenation improves the Hamming distance properties of polar codes.

In this work, we implement the parallel list Viterbi algorithm (LVA) and show how the error correction performance moves from the poor performance of the Viterbi algorithm (VA) to the superior performance of list decoding by changing the constraint length, list size, and the sorting strategy (local sorting and global sorting) in the LVA. Also, we analyze the latency of the local sorting of the paths in LVA relative to the global sorting in the list decoding and the trade-off between the sorting latency and the error correction performance.

Promoting media literacy learning - a comparison of various media literacy models
Authors: Stix Daniela Cornelia , Jolls Tessa
Published: July 2020

With our paper we analyze four renowned media literacy models from Germany, UK and USA to derive, through comparisons, the necessary core competencies which apply to all professions and that are valid across disciplines. In the results, as key-competencies, we identified critical analysis as essential to be able to act as self-determined individuals in so called mediatized societies. Further results show that media literacy learning can be developed in formal learning settings, as well as in non-formal and in informal learning settings that complement each other. Media literacy promotion is therefore a cross-disciplinary task for all kinds of professionals in the educational and social systems. With referring to the concept of mediatization, we also show the deep social impact of media on people’s lives and explain why it is helpful to see media literacy learning as part of lifelong learning. We finally conclude, that the terms «teaching media literacy» and «media literacy education» are no longer applicable. Instead, we highly recommend the terms «promoting media literacy» and «media literacy learning». By seeing media literacy learning as a cross-disciplinary task and as a process of lifelong learning, our findings can help to unify discussions about media literacy on a global level.

Marx e a liberdade como questão individual e coletiva
Authors: Santos Ariovaldo , Araujo Francieli
Published: July 2020

O artigo apresenta elementos sobre a categoria liberdade e sua incorporação no pensamento de Marx a uma perspectiva societal resultante de atos práticos pelos seres sociais. A hipótese trabalhada é de que a liberdade em Marx se refere à exigência, no indivíduo, da fluição de suas potencialidades humanas, mas, também, à realização da vida material e espiritual do conjunto da humanidade. Assim, se a liberdade não é um valor universal, por outro lado, ela é uma valoração mediante a qual podem exprimir-se indivíduo e social. É um bem a ser defendido, mas que só pode efetivar-se pela ação prática dos próprios homens.

VERBAL AGGRESSION IN THE SYSTEM OF SPEECH ACTS THE TATAR LANGUAGE
Authors: Nabiullina G. A.
Published: July 2020

Linguistic studies of the communicative culture of Turkic peoples are very relevant in modern linguistics. The purpose of this article is to study the means of expressing verbal aggression in Tatar linguistic culture. The research material is speech clichés with the meaning of speech aggression. Solving the tasks the author uses a descriptive and stylistic method, as well as continuous sampling, processing, interpretation and lexical-semantic analysis methods. The work reveals lexical and semantic methods and features of the expression of verbal aggression in the Tatar language. It is established that in the corpus of lexemes a special place is occupied by the use of colloquial offensive vocabulary, metaphors, epithets expressing insult, humiliation, nonsense, threat and the aggressive emotional state of the individual. The curse-malice (kargyshlar) is one of the idiomatic expressions of aggression directed against a person. The meaning of aggression is often given by interjections, introductory words, particles. The analysis shows that in the Tatar linguistic culture aggression is presented as a form of speech behavior, which is a negative emotional response of a linguistic personality. Excessive use of speech aggression in the colloquial and journalistic spheres of communication and in the language of fiction affects speech culture negatively.

Making Existing Homes Greener
Authors: Smith James C.
Published: July 2020

During the past two decades, a “green building movement” has emerged, at first concentrating on the “greening” of government and commercial building. More recently, the focus has turned to the greening of residential buildings. “Green homes” are increasingly popular in the United States and throughout the world. They consume less energy; reduce environmental impacts; and conserve land, water, and other natural resources. Now, thousands of homebuyers are willing to take into account green environmental considerations when making home purchase decisions. They are motivated economically (the prospect of lower utility bills) and altruistically (doing what is good for the environment).
Rainwater Harvesting in Colorado and the Quandary of a Taking
Authors: Bretsen Stephen N.
Published: July 2020

Although rainwater harvesting would appear to be a win-win solution to the problem of developing new sources of water, implementing rainwater harvesting in the American West has been fraught with tensions that have pitted rural farmers and other agricultural interests against urban and suburban homeowners. The water law of the western states is based on the prior appropriation doctrine, which creates a “first in time, first in right” system of water rights tied to when a user diverts surface water for beneficial use. Since water rights are property rights, state statutes and regulations that “go too far” in affecting them risk giving senior appropriators a takings claim. Based on the nature of rainwater harvesting and judicial interpretations of federal and state constitutional takings clauses, the most likely claims by downstream agricultural irrigators in the West are that state statutes authorizing rainwater harvesting are per se physical takings. Such takings require compensation, even though they do not result in the total loss of the right to use water or have a minimal economic impact on a senior appropriator. To avoid a taking, state legislatures need to draft these statutes in ways that take advantage of how existing state laws implement the prior appropriation doctrine. Colorado’s most recent rainwater harvesting statute leverages how the no-injury requirement placed on junior appropriators ultimately limits the scope of the senior appropriators’ water rights and avoids a taking.
Old Water Becoming New Again
Authors: Slobodin Howard S. , Shelton Hope C.
Published: July 2020

The reuse of treated wastewater effluent for municipal supply is not a new idea in Texas, having been contemplated for at least sixty years. However, its importance has grown in recent decades as traditional surface water sources have become fully subscribed. Reuse is recognized as a significant source of future supply for Texas in the 2017 Texas State Water Plan. The law related to reuse is, however, still very much a developing subject. Recent administrative actions and judicial decisions have better defined the contours of the entitlements necessary to reuse effluent discharged to state-owned water courses. In the midst of this continued legal evolution, water suppliers in the Trinity River basin are actively implementing reuse projects using the river as a conveyance for the indirect reuse of discharged effluent.
Effects of TiO2 nanoparticles and spermine on antioxidant responses of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. to cold stress
Authors: Kardavan Ghabel Vahideh , Karamian Roya
Published: July 2020

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is known as an important medicinal plant throughout the world. Glycyrrhizin is one of the most important specialized metabolites produced by licorice. In order to study the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) and spermine on physiological and biochemical traits of licorice under cold stress conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. Plants were exposed to optimum temperature (26 ºC) as control and low temperature (4 ºC) as cold stress conditions and also treated with TiO2 NPs (2 and 5 ppm) and spermine (1 mM), separately. Results from physiological and biochemical analyses of the aerial parts of licorice seedlings showed that the growth parameters and the content of photosynthetic pigments decreased in response to low temperature. TiO2 NPs and spermine treatments increased plant resistance to cold stress and decreased the level of oxidative damage by reduction of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) contents. In other hand, TiO2 NPs and spermine caused increase of phenolics, total protein and osmolytes contents under cold stress conditions. An increase in glycyrrhizin content was significantly induced by low temperature, TiO2 NPs and spermine.

Keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan wilayah pesisir merupakan suatu keniscayaan untuk mewujudkan pengelolaan wilayah pesisir yang berkelanjutan dan menyejahterakan. Konsekuensinya, keserasian antar kebijakan pengelolaan wilayah pesisir terkait keterlibatan masyarakat menjadi penting, guna mewujudkan kepastian hukum bagi masyarakat untuk berperan aktif dalam pengelolaan wilayah pesisir. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini akan menganalisis keserasian antara kebijakan pengelolaan wilayah pesisir Lampung dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi maupun yang setara, khususnya ketentuan mengenai pelibatan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan wilayah pesisir. Kajian ini berkesimpulan bahwa kebijakan pemerintah Provinsi Lampung terkait keterlibatan masyarakat dalam pengelolaan wilayah pesisir masih disharmoni dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi maupun yang setara. Disharmoni ini menimbulkan ketidakpastian hukum, kesenjangan dalam peruntukan dan pemanfaatan sumber daya pesisir, dan keterbatasan akses masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi dalam pengelolaan wilayah Pesisir Lampung. Sehingga kebijakan pengelolaan wilayah pesisir Provinsi Lampung perlu direvisi melalui harmonisasi secara vertikal maupun horizontal, guna mewujudkan pengelolaan wilayah pesisir berbasis masyarakat.Kata kunci: Lampung, Harmonisasi Kebijakan, Pengelolaan Pesisir
Numerical Analysis of the Aerodynamic Characteristics of NACA-4312 Airfoil
Authors: Pranto Md Rhyhanul Islam , Inam Mohammad Ilias
Published: July 2020

The aim of the work is to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics such as lift coefficient, drag coefficient, pressure distribution over a surface of an airfoil of NACA-4312. A commercial software ANSYS Fluent was used for these numerical simulations to calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of 2-D NACA-4312 airfoil at different angles of attack (α) at fixed Reynolds number (Re), equal to 5×10^5 . These simulations were solved using two different turbulence models, one was the Standard k-ε model with enhanced wall treatment and other was the SST k-ω model. Numerical results demonstrate that both models can produce similar results with little deviations. It was observed that both lift and drag coefficient increase at higher angles of attack, however lift coefficient starts to reduce at α =13° which is known as stalling condition. Numerical results also show that flow separations start at rare edge when the angle of attack is higher than 13° due to the reduction of lift coefficient.

This paper will present an algorithm for Heart Rate Variability HRV signals classifications. In this algorithm we used Radon transform of binary matrix of scatter-gram of heart rate HRV signals to extract features of binary matrix. Artificial neural network (ANN) technique with back-propagation networks (BPN) was used for binary matrix features classifications. Radon transform with 90 projections was selected because it presented the best inverse Radon transform that gave a closer image of the original scatter-gram. The optimum numbers of neurons in the hidden layer of BPN is 145 was obtained. Two databases were formed, one for training and the second for testing the accuracy of the BPN to recognize on types of heart rate variability. The two database consist of HRV signal pathologies, sympathetic activity, normal cardiac, parasympathetic activity, arrhythmia, availability problem with breath, existence of stress and the composition of these pathologies. This algorithm present the accuracy of diagnosis for sympathetic activity, normal cardiac, parasympathetic activity, arrhythmia, availability problem with breath and existence of stress were 97,396%, 98,438%, 100%, 94,792%, 87,3265% and 91,146% respectively.
TWO-STORAGE FUZZY INVENTORY MODEL WITH TIME DEPENDENT DEMAND AND HOLDING COST UNDER ACCEPTABLE DELAY IN PAYMENT
Authors: Kumar Boina Anil , Paikray Susanta Kumar , Mishra Umakanta
Published: July 2020

If we observe a real business market, the demand for items in each cycle is not in the same pattern, that is,
for specific business cycle it may increase, stable or decrease (for instance, cool drinks from end stage of the summer to winter;
the demand goes on decreasing, and from the end of winter to peak time of summer; the demand goes on increasing). Also, if the supplier
permits for delay in payment, retailer wishes to buy more goods, and for which the retailer may need extra storage (in terms of a rented
warehouse). Moreover, the retailer has always wished to sell the items before they expire and accordingly order is placed. Mostly the
parameters in a real world inventory model are imprecise. Thus, in the proposed study an inventory model having decreasing time dependent
demand pattern with variable holding cost for TwoStorage facility under acceptable delay in payment has been developed. Mathematical model
of the problem and its solution procedure is discussed for both crisp and fuzzy environment in order to obtain the optimal replenishment
time and cost. Also, numerical examples are discussed to validate the study. Finally, sensitivity analysis is also studied to describe
the fluctuating scenario of associated parameters.
Assessing the probability of freedom from pine wood nematode based on 19 years of surveys
Authors: Hannunen Salla , Tuomola Juha
Published: July 2020

Many quarantine pests, such as the pine wood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), are surveyed annually in all EU countries. Although a lot of resources are spent in the surveys, the confidence in pest freedom achieved with them is not commonly analysed. We assessed the probability that Finland is free from PWN, based on the surveys done in 2000–2018. We used the methods employed in the risk-based estimate of system sensitivity tool (RiBESS), which has recently been recommended for quarantine pest applications. We considered two scenarios: 1) the surveys aimed to justify phytosanitary import requirements and to facilitate exports and 2) the surveys aimed to detect invasions early to enable eradication of outbreaks. These differed only in the pest prevalence that the surveys were expected to detect. The surveys appeared to support the assumption that PWN is not present in Finland, but they did not seem extensive enough to ensure early detection of invasions. The sensitivity of the import-export surveys was greater than 0.6 in 13 years, whereas that of the early detection surveys was always below 0.25. The probability of freedom achieved in 2018 following 19 years of surveys increased asymptotically with the mean time between invasions. For the import-export surveys, this probability was at least 0.95 unless the mean time between invasions was less than 13 years. For the early detection surveys, the probability of freedom was less than 0.73 unless the mean time between invasions was 63 years or more. The results were rather robust with respect to the parameters for which exact information was lacking. To improve the assessment, a quantitative estimate of the probability of PWN invasion to Finland and a thorough assessment of the maximum area of an eradicable infestation would be needed. To gain an understanding about the true impact of quarantine pest surveys on biosecurity, more assessments, like the one presented in this paper, are needed.

De la « franchise du sol français » au droit d'asile pour cause d'esclavage : un principe inhérent à l'identité constitutionnelle de la France ?
Authors: Pluen Olivier
Published: July 2020

Par deux fois ces dernières années, les plus hautes autorités de l'État ont affirmé leur volonté d'accueillir sur le territoire national des victimes de l'esclavage stricto sensu , qu'il s'agisse en 2017 de certains migrants d'Afrique subsaharienne passés par la Libye, ou en 2019 de femmes Yésidies confrontées au groupe Daech en Irak. Or, bien qu'une tradition générale d'accueil soit classiquement associée à la « Patrie des droits de l'Homme », il est possible de se demander, de manière plus ambitieuse, si de telles annonces ne sont pas révélatrices d'un « principe inhérent à l'identité constitutionnelle de la France », héritier du vieux principe du « sol franc » né sous l'Ancien Régime. Le présent article se donne en conséquence pour objectif de déceler l'existence d'un tel principe, soit qu'il ressorte directement du bloc de constitutionnalité, soit que la « franchise du sol français » puisse indirectement connaître un renouveau par le truchement du bloc de conventionnalité.
L'absorption de la notion de formes d'esclavage dans celle de « traite des êtres humains »
Authors: Boissard Béatrice
Published: July 2020

Par un glissement sémantique, au cours des siècles, l'esclavage est devenu un mot « tabou », renvoyant à une histoire passée ; le terme de traite des personnes lui étant préféré. Entré dans le droit international par la Convention de l'esclavage de 1926, complétée par la convention supplémentaire relative à l'abolition de l'esclavage, de la traite des esclaves et des institutions et pratiques analogues à l'esclavage de 1956, le terme disparaît progressivement du vocabulaire juridique. L'exemple de l'interprétation de l'article 4-1 de la CEDH en est une illustration. Pourtant, l'esclavage persiste toujours et les situations démontrent que malgré l'adoption de terme moderne, le terme ancien demeure.
Formes légales de travail et formes contemporaines d'esclavage
Authors: Petit Benoît
Published: July 2020

Le développement exponentiel des situations de travail para-subordonnées ravive l'enjeu de l'esclavage contemporain, en raison de la déresponsabilisation tout à fait légale des entreprises vis-à-vis des conditions de travail. L'auteur défend la nécessité d'engager une révolution du droit des relations de travail, fondée sur le statut de travail plutôt que le contrat, sur les droits fondamentaux plutôt que sur les performances économiques, ainsi que sur l'identification systématique et préventive des « impulsions d'esclavage » qui sont bien plus courantes qu'on ne le croit.
La lutte contre la traite dans les entreprises
Authors: Moua Loréna
Published: July 2020

De toutes les leçons du passé, l'esclavage reste sans doute l'une des plus difficiles à retenir. Avec la mondialisation, la sphère des affaires est devenue en quelques années le théâtre privilégié de la criminalité internationale et parmi elles, l'esclavage. Pour atteindre celle qui exerce un contrôle réel sur l'ensemble des opérations de production du groupe, le législateur français a pris une direction inattendue avec la loi n˚ 2017-399 du 27 mars 2017. Il apparaît alors que le devoir de vigilance raisonnable qu'elle consacre trouve une résonance particulière en matière de lutte contre la traite des êtres humains. L'intérêt sera alors de mettre en lumière comment, par le devoir de vigilance, ce texte tend à lutter pour les victimes de traite par-delà nos frontières.
Accompagner les victimes. Regard sur l'activité judiciaire
Authors: O'Dy Sylvie
Published: July 2020

Violations majeures des droits humains, l'esclavage moderne et la traite des êtres humains constituent aujourd'hui encore une réalité mal appréhendée en France par le monde politique, les pouvoirs publics, les forces de police, les tribunaux et l'opinion. L'identification des victimes, leur protection, ainsi que la poursuite des auteurs sont insuffisamment garanties. De nombreux obstacles s'ajoutent ainsi aux difficultés intrinsèques liées à l'accompagnement des personnes victimes.

L’image est la substance de l’idéal
Authors: Rolland Jean-Claude
Published: July 2020

Les idéaux se construisent sur la base d’un matériau d’images, à la différence du surmoi qui est d’essence plus exclusivement langagière. Le processus analytique allège la lourdeur des idéaux et leur puissance inhibitrice en contraignant les images à se convertir à la faveur du discours associatif en mots. On explorera certaines œuvres d’art pour apprendre du peintre comment il pense en image afin de nous donner une première représentation des opérations psychiques assurant dans la cure un même travail d’image.
Le bouclier d’Achille. À propos de la fonction défensive de la représentation
Authors: Herrmann Fabio , Allet-Coche Isabelle
Published: July 2020

L’auteur étudie la fonction défensive de la représentation, comme protection contre le stade de fusion avec le réel humain, où la distinction entre Identité et Réalité est perdue. La création d’un « espace pour la représentation » est considérée comme fondatrice du privilège de la surface représentationnelle dans la pensée occidentale, dont le modèle de l’inscription du bouclier d’Achille serait le paradigme.
Identifier, s’identifier, croire
Authors: Stoloff Jean-Claude
Published: July 2020

Bien qu’il ne soit pas toujours aisé de les différencier, plutôt qu’aux objets de croyance, on s’intéresse aux mouvements psychiques et aux processus qui aboutissent aux phénomènes de croyance. Le sujet humain peut-il y échapper ? Quelle est la contribution de la métapsychologie freudienne à ce débat ? Sommes-nous condamnés à croire comme nous sommes condamnés à investir ? Pouvons-nous cependant rester libres de changer nos croyances dans un mouvement de création continue ?
John Stuart Mill on “legitimate socialism” and the 1848 revolution in Paris
Authors: McCabe Helen
Published: July 2020

Selon son Autobiographie , c’est la révolution parisienne de 1848 qui a incité Mill à revendiquer plus clairement la désignation de socialiste dans l’édition de 1852 de ses Principes d’économie politique . On a pu voir dans les Chapitres sur le socialisme posthumes l’abandon de cette position. Mais ses craintes à l’égard du « socialisme révolutionnaire » ne sont en opposition ni à la révolution ni au socialisme : un « socialisme légitime », violent seulement s’il doit se défendre, n’impliquant pas la disparition de toute propriété privée, préférant la coopération à la main mise de l’État, doit revendiquer tout ce qui de « liberté, égalité et fraternité » peut être réalisé dès maintenant et préparé pour plus tard.
Jeux physiques et jouets d’adresse des enfants : du jeu libre à une éducation physique informelle (1730-1830)
Authors: Manson Michel
Published: July 2020

Est-ce que les objets des jeux d’adresse sont des « jouets sportifs » pour les médecins, éducateurs, artistes et auteurs de livres de jeunesse entre 1730 et 1830 ? À cette époque où changent les paradigmes sur l’enfant, le corps, le jeu et l’éducation, les conceptions sur l’adresse et la force des enfants, il est intéressant de se demander dans quelle mesure ces acteurs tiennent compte des objets qu’ils utilisent. Suivant la motricité qu’ils mettent en œuvre, ces objets sont-ils pensés comme des jouets ou comme des instruments de l’activité physique ? Le fait que des éducateurs désirent les faire pénétrer à l’école montre cependant qu’ils reconnaissent leur rôle dans l’éducation physique des enfants..
De l’usage particulier du bateau-jouet
Authors: Jallat Denis
Published: July 2020

Les bateaux-jouets manufacturés apparaissent en France au milieu du xix e siècle pour la plus grande joie des enfants qui les font flotter sur les bassins des jardins urbains, en bord de mer ou sur les cours d’eau. Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, les petits bateaux connaissent une phase de démocratisation qui se renforce encore après 1960. Nous nous attacherons à montrer les usages sociaux et familiaux du bateau-jouet, entre outil de socialisation ou d’éducation et objet de distinction ou d’appartenance. La recherche s’appuiera essentiellement sur une analyse de type sémiologique (R. Barthes) et sémiotique (C. S. Peirce) de l’iconographie portant sur les bateaux-jouets organisée en catégories (photos de famille, scènes de jeu, publicités pour l’objet ou pour des marques sans lien avec les jouets ou encore des décors).
Le painkiller : une embarcation miniature pour s’initier au kayak ludique ?
Authors: Hugedet Willy , Marsac Antoine
Published: July 2020

Les painkillers sont des embarcations miniatures fabriquées par des kayakistes eux-mêmes. À partir d’une approche articulant l’anthropologie et l’histoire du temps présent, il s’agit d’analyser leur contexte d’émergence et les usages associés : de leur fabrication à leur mise à l’eau. Notre enquête montre que ces différentes activités sont autant d’étapes participant d’une acculturation des joueurs. Par l’intermédiaire d’une rhétorique du fun, ces jouets permettent une initiation au kayak ludique.
Jouets ou matériels sportifs ? Une culture matérielle analysée du point de vue des jeunes enfants
Authors: Garnier Pascale
Published: July 2020

Cette recherche souligne l’importance d’une culture matérielle dans le domaine des activités physiques et/ou sportives des enfants. Dans une perspective sociologique, l’objectif est de montrer comment leurs rapports à cette culture matérielle s’inscrivent dans des différences d’âge et de genre. Pour analyser ces rapports du point de vue des enfants, le dispositif méthodologique est basé sur neuf entretiens collectifs avec des enfants de 5 ans, grâce au support d’un « jeu des sept familles », un jeu de cartes spécifiquement créé pour cette enquête. Les résultats montrent comment les enfants nomment, définissent et choisissent ces objets pour marquer leur propre identité, en termes d’âge et de genre. Soulignant un écart entre les cultures sportives des filles et des garçons, l’article révèle aussi une tension entre un matériel de sport et des jouets, notamment ceux marqués par les licences (Hello Kitty et Spiderman).

Use of E-Resources Through Consortia With Special Reference to College Libraries
Authors: Suresh M. , Natarajan R.
Published: July 2020

A consortium is an association of two or more individuals, companies, organizations or governments (or any combination of these entities) with the objective of participating in a common activity or pooling their resources for achieving a common goal. Library consortium gives the freedom for a library having a smaller collection to access any product at a nominal price. The chapter has shown that 58 (31.53%) assistant professors occasionally use it, followed by 44 (23.92%) respondents using it frequently, 39 (21.2%) respondents use it rarely, 26 (14.14%) respondents use it very frequently, and 17 (09.24%) respondents never use it.
